"Come on, Lord of the Rubik's Cube, you can choose an area as your territory from the area marked as blank on this map."

Lord Todd took out a map and placed it in front of Chen Bing.

The map is a map of Tucheng and its surroundings, with gray and blank colors, which means it is unselectable.

"Okay, I'll take a look first."

Chen Bing was excited.

He checked the optional range of his territory, which was about 250*200, which is 50,000 square meters. Although the area is not very large, it is enough as a private territory.

With territory, Chen Bing can do a lot more things.

The most obvious benefit is that he can recruit NP guards in his territory, and at the same time he can establish trading markets in the territory and obtain tax revenue.

The NP guards recruited by players are generally not too strong. Most of the time, the players do not have enough reputation in NP, and powerful NPs generally do not come.

Another reason is that the powerful NP guards, when players are not well-reputed, the asking price will be very high. The price of forming a guard team is not a joke.

As the number one on the honorary killing list, even the city lord knew his name and became an honorary lord. His reputation in NP is definitely unmatched, and recruiting NP guards is definitely not a problem.

Chen Bing's eyes flashed, looking for the right terrain on the map.

As a former special forces soldier, Chen Bing certainly knew that it would be best to build his territory in a position that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"Lord Todd, there is an ancient castle in this valley when looking at the map. Can I choose it as my territory directly?"

After looking for a while, Chen Bing suddenly pointed to a valley on the map and said.

In Chen Bing's opinion, this valley is very suitable as a territory.

Behind the valley is a great rift valley, and the low rift valley is a river, so it is difficult to attack from behind the valley.

In front of the valley is a plain with convenient transportation and easy access to Tucheng.

This place is chosen as the territory, and the territory covers the entrance of the valley. As long as the soldiers guard the entrance, it will be difficult for the invaders to invade the territory.

If he takes ten thousand steps back, the territory has been invaded, and he can also use the rifts and rivers behind the valley to escape, with an untrackable retreat.

It can be said that there is no better location than this.

But strangely, there is an ancient castle in the valley, and Chenbing can still choose.

"Oh, the shadow castle you mentioned is no longer inhabited by anyone, and the castle is not an asset for anyone. You can choose there as a territory, and the castle will become your property. But I think you'd better not do this. The shadow castle is not a good place. In the castle, strange shadows often appear, so that people living in the castle will disappear or die. The shadow castle will become a homeless land because the previous owner died. And that is no longer the only castle owner who died bizarrely. Including the past, there are five castle owners who died in the castle or disappear from the castle. So since the previous owner died, no one has ever been willing to take over the shadow castle."

Todd glanced at it and explained with a smile.

"How about maintaining the castle?"

Chen Bing thought for a while and asked.

"I don't know now, but a few years ago, after the death of the previous castle owner a few years ago, although no one had moved in, the castle was still like a living person, and it was well maintained. There was absolutely no problem with the residents. I said, Lord of the Rubik's Cube, you don't really want this castle, right? I feel you'd better not do this, the Shadow Castle is too weird!"

After Todd answered Chen Bing, he persuaded him again.

"I know your kindness, City Lord. Why not do this? I'll go and see the situation first. If it's okay, then choose Shadow Castle. What do you think?"

Chen Bing thought about it and said to Lord Todd.

"That's fine, but you have to make a decision within three days. I'll report to the royal family to your choice."

Lord Todd thought about it and felt that it would be a way to let Chen Bing go to see Li himself.

Although the Shadow Castle is dangerous, it was killed before entering the castle for the first time.

As far as Lord Todd knows, Shadow Castle will initially appear strange shadows like a haunted person. If the castle owner is not scared away, he will eventually die.

"This is the master key of Shadow Castle. You can open any door in the castle. If you see that the situation is not good, leave quickly."

Lord Todd took out an ancient and exquisite key and handed it to Chen Bing.

"Thank you! By the way, Lord City, I wonder if you can tell me when did the Demonized Forest appear?"

Chen Bing took the key and asked.

In fact, even if the city lord doesn't invite him to come to the evening, Chen Bing will ask the city lord for more information about the Demonized Forest.

"When did it appear? I don't know what it is. The only thing I can tell you is that before the Tucheng was built, the Magic Forest had already existed. A long time ago, many people went to the Magic Forest to venture into treasure hunts. At that time, people built a place to rest outside the Magic Forest, which was the prototype of the Tucheng. Later, in order to resist the monster riots that appear from time to time, those who came to take risks to treasure hunts simply decided to strengthen the Tucheng armed forces to resist the violent monsters rushing out of the Magic Forest. If not, every time the monster riots, they had to retreat to a very far place in advance to avoid being attacked by the riot monsters."

"It will take a lot of time to go back and forth, so the construction of Tucheng has been supported and supported by a large number of adventurers. Tucheng has also gradually been built in such an environment."

"Of course, I don't know how much time has passed now. There is no treasure in the demonized forest. Tucheng is not the original Tucheng, but an ordinary city, which is different from the past."

Lord Todd answered Chen Bing's question and talked about the origin of Tucheng.

"Is that the demonized forest the first existence, or is the divine tree appearing earlier in the Origin Continent?"

Chen Bing asked again immediately.

"Then I don't know. No matter when the sacred tree appeared, when the demonized forest appeared, and how it was produced, although I have been the city lord for more than ten years, I am ashamed that I still know nothing."

Lord Todd shook his head regretfully this time.

This is a very critical issue. Chen Bing really wanted to figure it out, but City Lord Todd didn't know that, and Chen Bing did not retreat.

The matter on the city lord's side has come to an end for the time being. Chen Bing took the key and returned to a small guest room in the city lord's mansion and found Xixi.

Worried that it would take a long time to tell the city lord that too many things would take, Xixi would feel bored by the side, or if the city lord saw that Xixi was cute and pitiful, and wanted to hold Xixi's hand or touch her face, the city lord might be poisoned to death directly.

If that were the case, Chen Bing would be a tragedy.

So just in case, Chen Bing simply let Xixi play in a living room.

Seeing someone coming in, Qianxi was shocked at first, and she breathed a sigh of relief after she recognized it as Chen Bing.

"Brother, have you finished the talk?"

Xixi thought about it and asked.

On the way back, Chen Bing asked Qianxi to call him brother.

Xixi was only eight years old and asked her to call her brother. Chen Bing felt that she had suddenly become ten years younger.
