Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1684 That's the feeling!

On the Plain of Death, a palace from the old civilization era was successfully unearthed, and the relevant report was delivered to Zhou Xu as quickly as possible.

Compared to the excavation process, transporting the disassembled steam excavator to its components was the most laborious part.

Upon receiving the news, Zhou Xu could not hide his joy.

However, they also incurred some costs in excavating the palace. Not to mention the obviously higher transportation costs, the steam excavator also fell and broke due to the land subsidence, adding to the losses.

But Zhou Xu was clearly not concerned about any of that at the moment; he only wanted to know what had been left for him in the palace.

Considering the possibility that there is a restrictive barrier around the palace.

Therefore, when Zhou Xu had everyone use the positioning compass to find the location of the ruins, he had specifically instructed them not to approach easily after finding it, and to wait for him to handle everything.

Of course, before setting off, he would make sure to arrange and handle all the work and matters that needed to be dealt with.

Fortunately, after nearly a year of adaptation, Charman's work has become increasingly adept, demonstrating a work ability that is basically no less than that of Huo Qubing.

During this period, Zhou Xu also confirmed Charman's loyalty. In the latest confirmation, it had reached 83 points, which officially put him into the ranks of loyal subjects.

While making Zhou Xu feel at ease, it also finally freed him from his busy year.

I wonder how Yarvit's trial is going.

Inside the Hall of Diligent Governance, Zhou Xu, having finished arranging everything, couldn't help but think of Yarvit, who had gone to undergo the trial.

Before setting off, Yarvit had said that the trial might last for a long time and might not end in a short period of time.

But now, almost half a year has passed, which is still beyond Zhou Xu's expectations.

He had considered the possibility that Yarvit might have encountered some trouble during the trial.

However, it seems pointless to dwell on this issue now; it's better to deal with the things at hand first.

Now that the ruins he had been searching for had been discovered, Zhou Xu obviously couldn't keep waiting.

In short, let's go to the ruins first and obtain the inheritance.

Having made up his mind, Zhou Xu set off quickly. The next morning, he boarded a train that ran directly from Black Moon City to the Northeast region.

The Saint Laurent region is now divided into old and new areas, and the Plain of Death is located in the old area of ​​Saint Laurent. It is closer and more convenient to get there from the northeast.

Because the railway extension in Northeast China was completed in early autumn this year.

The extended section of Northeast China, to put it simply, is the area outside the original Northeast Fortress.

Previously, the railway in Northeast China only extended to the Northeast Fortress, but after the female warrior tribe submitted, the territory of Northeast China expanded rapidly.

Now, their Great Zhou's railway, circling the area where they planned to build an industrial city, stretches all the way to the edge of the jungle where the city of Mistiela is located.

Since it only requires supplementing a section of railway and the distance is not far, it can be completed in a short time.

After passing through the former Northeast Fortress, the railway Zhou Xu was on soon arrived at the extension section.

The railway is laid around the perimeter of this area, which will increase the length of the railway to some extent.

However, the adjacent plains have already been designated as a major industrial city, and if the railway were to cut through the middle, it would clearly hinder subsequent construction. Taking advantage of the train's passage, Zhou Xu glanced briefly at the plains through the train window.

Now, three steam excavators are working on that plain.

Compared to the one sent to the Plains of Death, this is much more convenient. The steam train can deliver it directly to the door, which is no exaggeration to say that it has the highest transportation efficiency of this era.

The former Northeast Fortress and the former territory of the female warrior tribe were in a mutually supporting position, with the female warrior tribe's territory being more on the outer side.

After the two sides merged, while expanding its territory, the Great Zhou also found a suitable midpoint and set up a simple camp to facilitate the garrison troops on this side of the border to be stationed.

The conditions were certainly not as good as those of the Northeast Fortress, but there was no other way.

There were too many internal matters this year, and the labor force was also tight, so we couldn't spare more manpower to build the border fortress here for the time being.

Fortunately, the Smith Kingdom didn't really have the guts to attack their camp. Aside from the deteriorating living conditions, there wasn't much else to worry about.

After leaving this side of the border, Zhou Xu, for the sake of efficiency, did not take a carriage. Instead, he had his attendant, Qian Sui, take his cavalry and headed towards the old Saint Laurent district at top speed.

Their movement efficiency was already very high, but by the time they reached the Death Plains, it was already the second month of winter.

Feeling the ever-encroaching necromantic energy, even a normal person would feel a chill just from contact with it.

The existence of necromantic energy is the opposite of 'life'. It is definitely not a good thing for living things to be eroded by necromantic energy for a long time.

Fortunately, the accompanying elven knights were no ordinary people; each of them was now a martial artist at the Hundred Refinement Realm, and their mounts were, unsurprisingly, exotic warhorses.

As for Zhou Xu, needless to say, it would be hard to find a more luxurious configuration than his at this stage.

They had traveled a long and arduous journey, but Zhou Xu, who had been looking forward to the palace for a long time, had no interest in resting. He quickly led his personal guards into the Death Plains and arrived outside the palace.

At this moment, only one entrance to the palace was visible; the top was still buried under a large amount of earth and stone.

However, the steam excavator was already damaged in the crash, so there was no way to continue digging.

Fortunately, the entrance to the palace has been revealed, so it shouldn't prevent people from going in.

"You all wait for me outside. I'll go by myself from here on out."

As he spoke, Zhou Xu patted Qian Sui's head to comfort him, and then approached the ancient palace.

As long as it is confirmed that the palace was left by him, there will be no danger.

Well, even so, Zhou Xu was actually a little nervous inside.

Unlike when he first entered the Ceylon Temple, when his cultivation level was too low to perceive anything.

But now it feels different. Even before he got close, he could clearly sense the barrier deployed on the outside just by relying on his own perception as a Nascent Soul mage.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Xu raised his hand and slowly reached it towards the barrier area.

Without any unexpected incidents, he passed through smoothly.

That's it! That's the feeling!
