The Outer Islands.
The geographical environment of this area was a bit special because it originally belonged to a continent. Later on, a large area of the continental plate collapsed and sank, causing the geography of the area to become like this. From the map, it was a bit like the place near Singapore after the Spratly Islands, but there were more scattered islands than the continental plate. The largest one was the territory of the Amazons, followed by the base camp of the indigenous people, and many large and small islands scattered in the sea.
As he entered the area of the Outer Islands, Soran's face became dignified.
The environment of this area was a bit like a tropical rainforest area, full of unknown dangers. Although the islands didn't attract much attention, the challenge difficulty of these islands were all level 9 and above. In other words, even a group of Adventurers around grade 3 could be wiped out on some of these islands. There were a lot of unknown and terrifying creatures here, some of them were even small, but they were more dangerous than the dragon subspecies.
Moreover, there were also prehistoric pythons that were quite difficult to deal with, some of them had a challenge rating of 15 and above!
Basically, they were almost the same as dragons.
Søren didn't have the slightest intention to explore these islands. Some of these places even the indigenous people wouldn't easily go near, so he naturally didn't want to explore these dangerous places. His destination was a large island in front of him. If he remembered correctly, there was an island with a diameter of more than 500 square kilometers in front of him, and there were other islands next to it. This was Søren's first stop. If it was suitable, he would set up a camp here.
This was because the places he chose had natural harbors!
Another two days passed.
When Søren saw a towering mountain in front of him and a cliff standing on the coastline, he finally knew that he had arrived at his destination. There were many seagulls in front of him, and he could see a dense forest in the distance. There was a thick layer of bird droppings on the ground. The nearby islands were the resting places of migratory birds, so there was a huge amount of bird droppings accumulated here for thousands of years. Don't underestimate these bird droppings, they were a very precious resource!
Because in simpler terms, these bird droppings accumulated over time and covered the ground, and they could be refined into the best fertilizer!
Søren chose this place as a base not only because of the geographical advantage.
"Stop here."
Søren looked at the others, then shifted his gaze to a spot on the cliff. There was a metal cross there, and there seemed to be white bones on it. This White Bones was once a very famous pirate king. Later, he fell into the hands of the enemy and was directly nailed to death by cruel torture. His ghost appeared there, but it could only be encountered at a specific time. He would make a very difficult request to the others, and if it was completed, he would be able to obtain his treasure.
The Pirate King's soul seemed to have special requirements to meet his soul in the Spiritual Realm!
Søren wasn't interested in accepting such a quest, even though the difficulty of this quest was almost Legendary-tier. He looked at the others and said, "You guys stay here! … Adele Isabella! Humpback Whale – Hulk! The few of you, follow me to the island to take a look! … "
A small fast boat was released.
Søren quickly brought a few people to the island. Perhaps it was because there were very few outsiders here, when they just set foot on the island, birds actually flew all over the sky. There seemed to be some noise in the distance, but it soon calmed down. The town could be built in this area, but it was only relatively safe. Søren naturally wouldn't be naive enough to think that there were no enemies here. He didn't go too deep into the jungle, but came to a flat land south of the cliff. This was a natural flat land, and it was also the place where others found it and built a town.
There were some white stones in the woods, and they were very brittle to the touch. They broke when you pinched them.
Søren picked up a piece and smelled it, and then there was a smile on his face. The others also picked it up curiously and smelled it, but immediately threw it away with a face full of disgust because it smelled like feces and urine. These pirates couldn't see the value of these stones, but for Søren, they were the most important wealth, even more valuable than a gold mine. This place was actually an inexhaustible gold mine. It was just that the aborigines did not know how to make use of it.
— — "Guano stone, a kind of ore, also known as bird and beast feces. The accumulated feces and corpses of birds, bats, and seals are a kind of high-quality fertilizer. "
Søren's mind was filled with the knowledge that he had learned before.
The location of this island near the forest was the accumulation point of guano stones. Because it was in an area where migratory birds migrated, it was unknown how many guano stones had accumulated over thousands of years. Three feet deep into the ground was the raw material of high-quality fertilizer.
However!
These were not the only valuable things here.
Søren carefully looked around, then put his hands on the hilt of his sword, and gestured to the few people behind him, and said in a deep voice, "Pay attention! There may be monsters around here! "
He gradually moved forward along the flat land, and as his eyes got higher and higher, the terrain began to become a high slope.
Then there was a red land in front of him.
There were some active beasts nearby, but when they saw Søren, they immediately fled. These beasts felt the dangerous aura from them, and even a cheetah was scared and ran into the forest. Søren used his curved sword to cut the soil, then reached out and pinched the red soil in his hand, and then threw it on the ground with a smile on his face.
It was indeed clay!
In his memory, the town that was built here was built with red bricks. He didn't know what kind of craftsmanship was used, but in just three months, a brick house was built, and a large wall was cut out. Bricks had begun to appear in ancient Rome, and when humans fired pottery, they had tried to fire other things with clay. Søren knew a little about the craft of making porcelain, so the requirements of firing red bricks were too simple for him.
However.
The most important point was how to increase the production. The construction technology in this world was quite advanced, but mass production was not widespread. Most of the high-end products were made by spellcasters. Søren still didn't know how that group of people burned so many bricks in a short time. But it didn't matter. That group of people began to develop overseas after the Avatar Crisis, and he was now two years ahead of them. Even if he lacked a little technical advantage, he could still develop on a larger scale first.
"What are you doing, sir?"
A guy with a big head, who looked like a big-headed doll but had a ferocious face, stood at the back and whispered, "He's looking at the rocks and the soil! Are you looking to see if this place is suitable for farming? The land overseas is wasteland, and even if you want to reclaim it, it will take several years to become mature. "
"Don't look at me like that! … Before I became a pirate, I also plowed the land for several years! … "
The appearance of a pirate was strange, and it basically had nothing to do with their appearance. He noticed that the others were looking at him strangely, and couldn't help but laugh, "Don't look at me when I cut off heads, in fact, I'm also quite good at farming."
Søren didn't pay attention to the back.
He walked all the way to the top of the high slope, then looked down at the flat land in the distance, and then calculated the size and distance of the space in his mind. Maybe it was because of his powerful calculation ability, or maybe it was because of the data simulation, he actually built a rough town model in his mind. This place could accommodate the development space of a medium-sized city. Don't underestimate the guilds that developed overseas in his previous life. Many of them were professional talents, and the place they chose naturally had many comprehensive advantages.
…
On the other side.
The half-elf first mate stood on the bow of the ship. Suddenly, he seemed to feel something. He couldn't help but look down at the bottom of the sea. The person next to him asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
He stared at the bottom of the sea for a while, then shook his head gently and said, "Nothing. I just saw something just now. "
Time ticked by.
About two hours later, Søren finally finished inspecting the nearby area, and then came back with the others.
He had made a decision in his heart!
Although he still had two spare places that he hadn't seen, Søren was already very satisfied with this place. The location of the other two places was a bit remote, and it was still a day or two away from here. If he wanted to develop overseas, he must rely on the resources of the mainland. Therefore, the closer the route, the better. It would also be easier to transport other materials. This location, whether it was a natural port, geographical advantages, land resources, etc., could be regarded as a first-class place in the Outer Islands.
And there was another advantage here, that was, the location was relatively far away from the Amazon's range of activity, and it was not near the indigenous people's base camp.
Because the island was not very large, there were not many indigenous people who migrated here.
In the Outer Islands.
Generally, the larger the island, the fiercer the competition was because it was a large territory. On the contrary, small islands had insufficient space for development, and sometimes there were no indigenous people living there.
The island in front of him was neither big nor small. It was just right. There was room for development, and it was not too eye-catching!
"Disembark!"
Søren's face finally showed a smile, and he said in a deep voice, "Ship all the materials down and arrange for people to camp on the flat land in front."
He was ready to enclose the land here.
…

(It's not easy to quit smoking. On the sixth day, my mental state has been very difficult recently, and this plot is being written slowly, so there may be fewer updates. Developing overseas is not a casual encirclement. It's a suicidal act. There are actually a lot of foreshadowing in this plot, and many things must be explained clearly. Finally, in two days, I will announce a big event full of positive energy to you. Mwah. Wait until I get through this period, then I will explode.)
