Chu Xin took out a dark iron token from her arms. It looked like a crude prop from a third-rate TV series. I don't know what Mr. Luo was thinking. It was tied with a red string and hidden like a treasure.

This thing is called a pioneering order, a symbol of the status of a pioneering lord. Although it is the lowest black iron-level pioneering order, it is also valuable and has almost emptied Mr. Luo's treasury.

With this thing, the territory conquered in the Dark Land will be recognized by the Emerald Empire and protected. And if the strength and technology are sufficient, you can also rely on the coordinate anchor function of this thing to establish a remote connection with the Emerald Empire.

Even transmission channels.

"Ding, I found that the professional lord can be activated. It requires 1 experience. Please choose whether to activate it?"

Chu Xin chose to activate without hesitation. It was only 1 point of experience and half a skeleton. It was not a big problem.

"Ding, the professional lord has been activated. Current rank: Lord 1 star LV 0."

"Relevant professions have been retrieved. Your dark castle is now activated. Please select an area on the map to place it."

Chu Xin's exploration map automatically expanded and extended with him as the center, revealing a large area of ​​bright terrain, marking the place where the "Dark Castle" could be placed.

These are the areas he has explored so far. From the topographic point of view, it is a flat plain with no excellent development areas like Calabash Valley and Weihu Mountain. Moreover, this area is very barren, the land is barren, and even exotic animals are rare.

It is said that it is not a good place to settle the territory.

But Chu Xin doesn't care. For him now, development is secondary, and safety always comes first. After all, developing a territory without safety is like building castles in the air.

There is also a countdown of "04:39" on the map. He only has five minutes to think about it. The castle must be placed within this time, otherwise the castle will disappear automatically, which means that the lord is activated.

Just like white activation.

His eyes scanned back and forth on the map, and soon, Chu Xin chose a place, which was near the tombstone where the copy of "Burial Ground" was loaded, about a thousand meters away.

He had some considerations in choosing this location. Judging from the loaded copy of "Burial Ground", this should be a place where the undead gather. The one-star difficulty also means that it is not too strong in reality.

, it’s good to be neighbors.

This kind of gathering place for the undead is very common in the dark land. Most of them are battlefields with heavy casualties. After a long period of fermentation, a large number of buried corpses gather the death energy and gradually revive into the unexplained undead.

Generally speaking, due to the influence of death energy, there are basically no plants around this kind of place, and no alien beasts or foreign races are willing to approach this kind of place. For some tribes, this kind of bad luck is that they can neither obtain slaves nor resources.

Naturally, the further away a place is, the better.

But Chu Xin has no such considerations. What he wants now is a place where he can live and play games safely. Unless he encounters a high-level undead or an undead mage who recruits his subordinates, there is basically nothing big here.

risk.

As Chu Xin selected the place, a black castle similar to the icon gradually formed on the exploration map, and finally it was located near the tombstone.

"Ding, your dark castle has been built, please go and check it out by yourself. Warning, if the castle is destroyed, this game will be closed permanently!"

Chu Xin was stunned. From the system prompts, he suddenly realized that this dark castle was essentially built in reality and was based on reality. The exploration map was just an icon.

The castle was destroyed, and the price was a permanent ban. Chu Xin looked at the castle several kilometers away from him, and suddenly became a little anxious. What if some skeleton or slime with no eyes could not think about it and turned around, destroying the castle?

If it is dismantled, it will be cold!

The exploration map was automatically turned off after placing the castle. Chu Xin, who had not yet been resurrected, was temporarily unable to investigate the surrounding situation, but he still anxiously chose to run all the way, and the rampage state was turned on!

Taking advantage of the momentum she had gained from running a one-kilometer physical exam in school, and with no dangers along the way, Chu Xin rushed to her castle—oh no, it should be said to be in front of the dilapidated thatched house.

The name is quite domineering, Dark Castle, but in essence, it is just a thatched house with not very fine workmanship. It feels like it was built with a handful of weeds in the wasteland.

With some disbelief, Chu Xin gently pushed open the straw curtain and saw the withered grass on the ground. From the looks of it, it should be the bed of the Lord of the Castle.

It's a little bit regretful that we don't have an impregnable castle, but it's not that regretful. After all, we don't have to eat and sleep in the open air tonight.

Chu Xin doesn't plan to look at the gathering place of the undead next to the thatched house for the time being. After all, he doesn't quite know the range of the undead's hatred. If the hatred of the undead was locked on Baguo in the past, it would be over. Now he prefers to lie at home.

Play the game and see if you can trigger some items or events that can increase your combat power.

The golden villain was resurrected again, and there was only one chance of resurrection left. Chu Xin decided to release the dungeon first. His current combat power could kill one or two skeletons, but more would be too much. This would gain too little, so he might as well put his energy first.

Focus on exploration.

Opening the exploration map, this time the golden villain appeared in the black castle on the map. To his surprise, the castle came with an extremely wide field of vision, almost half the distance between the tombstones.

This function surprised Chu Xin. Relying on this field of vision, he could clearly identify the risks around him. The safety factor of the thatched house has undoubtedly increased by several levels.

The golden little man set sail again. This time Chu Xin felt much more at ease and was not so impatient. Although she said she disliked this thatched house, she was still very happy in her heart. This person must have a home to shelter from the wind and rain.

, can you feel at ease.

Lying on the withered grass, Chu Xin controlled the golden man to run in one direction. This time he planned to go as far as possible.

The pioneer lords teleported from the Emerald Empire have been screened to a certain extent. Although precise fixed-point teleportation cannot be carried out, most of them are randomly teleported to some more remote and less risky locations in the dark land. Similarly,

There were relatively few things that Chu Xin could explore, so he decided to go to a farther place to have a look.

"Tip, you have explored an unknown land, and the exploration value is +1."

…

"Tip, you found a stronghold: the wild boar's lair, you can send troops to conquer it, the exploration value +5"

…

"Tip, you encounter a bard, trigger a random event, and the exploration value +10."

Chu Xin found a small white dot on the map. He didn't collect any resources along the way and his backpack was empty. He stepped on it without hesitation.

"The bard played his verse to you, and you were so moved that you decided to tell him a story."

"Please choose the story you want to tell, 1. The wolf and the sheep on the green prairie; 2. The story of the official Ximen and the young lady of the Pan family; 3. The legend of the Nine Dragons pulling the coffin."

After a brief consideration, Chu Xin made his own choice. Green Prairie was not considered. Legend has it that although it is magnificent and majestic, it seems that the poet yearned for art more.
