Mage Lord: The Tech Tree is Skewed by Me

Southwest Highlands.

Even though Leon had already returned to his Lord's Castle in the Territory of Thorns, the Antolian soldiers and civilians staying on this highland were still cleaning up the monsters living in this land under the leadership of Andrew, and collecting monsters in the highlands. Supplies exploded after the death of the strange foot bird.

In any era, land reclamation is an extremely difficult task.

This is especially true in the southwest highlands.

Not only does it not produce food, there are not even many wild fruits to be found here. Wherever you look, there are barren rock walls.

Even if a lot of bird legs can be obtained by hunting tall monster birds, the bird legs of these monsters are even more unpalatable than the meat of plateau hounds, and they are useless except for filling their stomachs.

Therefore, most of the food depends on supplies from the Thorn Territory.

However, even though the environment in the southwest highlands was quite harsh, the first settlers who came here still built the Antolians' first settlement on this land at an extremely fast speed under the command of Andrew. settlement.

The brave and fearless soldiers continued to penetrate deep into the highlands, cleaning up the original owners of this land.

Antolian workers are mining mineral deposits in an orderly manner at the rear, sending load after load of warm stone to the Thorn Territory.

Oh, and those baby birds.

As the Antolian army continued to penetrate deeper into the southwestern highlands, more and more blue and white-striped bird eggs were discovered, and more and more baby birds hatched out of their shells under the witness of the Antolian people.

Although the adult tall-footed monster bird is very ferocious, the chubby young bird really does not pose any threat at all.

They spend the whole day sleeping soundly in their nests and squealing in anticipation of being fed by humans.

Andrew also followed Leon's request and built a shed specifically for raising baby birds on this land, trying to make these baby birds understand human commands and ultimately achieve the purpose of domestication.

after all……

After all, Antolia's manpower is limited. If these young birds can be domesticated successfully, then their hard beaks will become the most powerful arms for the Antolian people when mining mineral deposits.

It was also during the steady development of the settlement that Andrew received a new order from his lord and received the second batch of settlers from the Thorn Territory.

Crossing the valley, picking red cordyceps...

Although Andrew is a Lapruk, under the passage of time and the continuous influence of Fast, the Lapluk people have very obediently accepted the rule of the Jimena family.

Therefore, even though he knew that there might be many unknown things on the other side of Quan Mountain, Andrew still called out dozens of elite soldiers without hesitation and marched with him towards the valley at the southernmost tip of the Southwest Highlands.

The further south you go, the closer you get to the south.

After nearly half a day's trek, Andrew and his party finally arrived at the deep canyon in front of them again.

This is the southernmost point of the South West Highlands, the Bergori Pass.

Andal had led his army here before when he was exterminating the tall-footed monster birds.

However, he never considered traveling through here.

Because on the other side of the mountains is an abandoned place filled with black mist.

As a member of the Lapluk people, Andrew certainly knew that it was the land where the Lapluk people once lived, but he had also heard the legends about the abandoned land and understood the dangers of the abandoned land. .

The diffuse black fog is not just fog, it can also make people depressed and depressed. If they are in the dark fog for a long time, it can even cause a mental breakdown.

These are the lessons learned from the blood and death of our ancestors who were unwilling to migrate and wanted to return to their homeland many years ago.

But today, or from now on, he may become the first adventurer among the Lapluk people to set foot in the abandoned land and return successfully!

Thinking of this, Andrew couldn't help but cast his gaze forward.

The strong and towering black rock walls spread toward both sides, like a high black wall, with no end as far as the eye can see.

Directly in front of Andrew, the rock wall in front of him seemed to have been split open by a giant ax falling from the sky, leaving a smooth and dark gap in the rock wall.

This canyon, which is more than sixty meters wide, is not technically narrow, but the towering rock walls on both sides almost reach into the clouds, making the entire valley look oppressive and dull.

Set off!

Andrew raised his head, looked at the warm sun hanging in the sky, and gave the order to set off.

Everyone in the group traveled lightly and simply.

After all, they only had two hours in total from the time they arrived. Apart from the weapons in their hands, they really didn’t need to bring too many things. If they accidentally exceeded the time limit, no matter how much they brought, they would be left there. .

A cool breeze blew through the empty valley from time to time, and there was no one around. Only a few people's footsteps made a few rustling sounds when they stepped on the dead leaves on the ground.

Dark brown vines hang down from the rock walls on both sides, like poisonous snakes entangled in mid-air, crawling on the edge of the rugged rocks.

Although there are no wild animals entrenched in the valley, and the information from the Navaco tribe also indicates that this road is safe, everyone is somewhat nervous.

after all……

This is the valley leading to the Abandoned Land.

The remains of plateau hounds were scattered in the surrounding corners, and the towering cliffs on both sides made everyone panic.

With an anxious mood, when everyone finally carefully passed through this several-kilometer-long valley, what appeared in front of Andrew's eyes was a...

Ugh, that stinks!

This was the first thought that came to Andrew's heart when he first set foot on the abandoned land.

This is a vast plain. Looking around, countless bright red vegetation seem to merge into a ferocious sea of ​​blood.

Under the sunlight, countless gray mist formed an oppressive barrier between the sky and the earth several kilometers away, which made Andrew's heart throb a little.

It's a very special feeling.

Even though this land has a lot of vegetation, Andrew can't help but have many messy thoughts in his heart.

It was as if a layer of heavy shackles were placed on his body, which amplified the dark emotions in his heart to the point where he even felt that setting foot on this land was a sinful act.

Get the fuck out of here!

Andrew couldn't help but let out a low roar, which temporarily put the random thoughts in his mind to rest.

The soldiers behind him also seemed to be slightly freed from the chaos and struggle in their hearts because of this sudden roar.

This place is very weird, collect red cordyceps first, and then leave here immediately!

Andrew shook his head vigorously and ordered immediately.

If his lord hadn't paid special attention to the red cordyceps, he wouldn't want to stay in this place for a moment.
