After the child picked out a wooden sculpture, he also forgot that he was playing hide-and-seek with his companion. He took the wooden sculpture and ran to find his companion impatiently to show his companion the good thing he got.

After the child left, Leo picked up the metal ball in his hand again and looked at the pattern on it carefully. Although he still didn't know how the metal ball worked, the child revealed the truth of the metal ball in one sentence.

The function is the map.

Now, what Leo needs to understand most is not how this metal ball works. What he needs to know is whether the map corresponding to the patterns on the surface of this metal ball is only in the Savile Kingdom, or includes it.

The entire world of Velen, or even outside the world of Velen, is included. In addition, this map is just a rough map from an overhead perspective, or it can be enlarged.

However, when Leo was thinking about whether the patterns on the surface of the metal ball could be enlarged, he found that these patterns began to enlarge silently, and it seemed to be enlarging with his position as the center.

"Continue to zoom in a little more." Seeing this, Leo focused on looking at the metal ball and issued the command with his mind again. The patterns on the surface of the metal ball continued to enlarge, and finally it was enlarged to the point where the small Gusi River could be clearly distinguished.

The geography and landforms of the bay, and even the joint caravans setting up camp are revealed on the metal ball.

"Could it be?" Leo had a clever idea in his mind, and immediately opened the door curtain, went outside, and looked up at the sky. Although the sun had come out and illuminated the sky, the bright moon hanging in the sky was still very eye-catching.

Looking at the moon in the sky, Leo lowered his head and looked at the metal ball in his hand. He now understands why he has never been able to find out how this metal ball operates, its energy fluctuations, and why the patterns on the surface of this metal ball can show a map.

, because this metal ball is a survey instrument issued to the pioneers by the Universe Council.

Leo didn't know the specific working principle of this survey instrument. He just knew that when the pioneer spacecraft or fleet discovered a resource star, a survey instrument would be put into that planet, and then the survey instrument would automatically detect that planet.

The resources and orientation of the planet are marked and transmitted to the database of the Universal Parliament.

Because the environment of some planets is special, the planet cannot be completely surveyed by the power of the survey instrument itself, so it is necessary to send personnel to the ground to control the survey instrument for on-site survey.

Under normal circumstances, a pioneer's flagship will be equipped with an intelligent brain system that serves the survey instrument. This intelligent brain system will continuously receive the information transmitted by the survey instrument and feed it back to guide the ground survey personnel to carry out targeted operations.

of survey.

It is obvious that Leo has such a survey instrument in his hand, and the intelligence system corresponding to this survey instrument is on the Veyar brood warship that has become the moon of the Velen world.

However, these are just Leo's guesses, and further testing is needed to know whether this is a surveyor.

If it is a survey instrument, then it will be of great use to Leo. Among other things, if he goes to the wasteland in the future, he will not have to worry about getting lost, and the fog on the sea will no longer be under the influence of the survey instrument.

problem, but this does not mean that he can leave from the foggy sea, because fog may not be the most dangerous thing on the sea.

Back in the carriage, Leo tried to control the survey instrument and explore more functions. However, what disappointed him was that except that it could only zoom in and out of the map with him as the center, this thing did not seem to be as useful as he thought.

Moreover, there is a range limit for zooming in and out of the map. According to a rough estimate, it is probably within a radius of 300 kilometers.

Leo was not discouraged. He thought it was just because he did not master the correct way to use this item. After all, according to rumors, this kind of surveying instrument produced by the Supreme Council of the Universe could do this with just one.

Completely survey a planet.

While Leo was constantly experimenting with the use of metal balls in his caravan tent, in the joint caravan camp outside, the wooden sculpture he gave to the tribal child caused quite a commotion.

What happened was very simple. It was just that the child showed off the wood carving in his hand to other children, which aroused the jealousy of one child and wanted to rob it. During the robbery, the child accidentally touched the power of the wood carving and attacked the robbed child.

Children. Although children's anger and obsession with fighting are not very strong, so the power they inspire is not very high, but if the target of the attack is a child, it can still cause great harm, so everyone around them thought that they were being attacked.

The attacking child is dead.

Fortunately, the tribe's witch doctor quickly rescued the man, and when he learned that the injury was caused by another child, he was greatly surprised. This incident naturally alerted the senior officials in the caravan.

Although it is now the industrial age, as for the large and small tribes of the Saville Kingdom that still maintain a lot of ancient traditions, a powerful warrior is still the most precious talent of the tribe, so the senior officials in the caravan regard the child as

He gave birth to the offspring of a powerful warrior, and the tribe to which the child belonged was naturally overjoyed.

After that, because no one was killed, the questioning of the child was just a routine matter. However, during the questioning process, the senior management of the caravan found that the original estimate seemed to be wrong. The child was not a warrior with unlimited potential.

The wood carving in your hand is the source.

A manager of the caravan looked at the wood carving in the child's hand and confirmed: "You said you were very angry at the time, and then you felt something inside the wood carving penetrated into your body, and you didn't know anything after that.

, when I woke up, I saw little Badger lying on the ground."

The child, who had been frightened for a long time, nodded quickly.

Out of curiosity, the supervisor was about to reach out and pick up the wood carving in the child's hand to take a look. However, before he could touch the wood carving, the elder of the child's tribe stepped in front and said with a serious look.

: "Hoffs, this thing belongs to our tribe. Are you going to break the rules and take it away like this?"

The tribal elders who were assigned to this caravan by each tribe were shrewd people. They could naturally tell that the wood carving was not an ordinary item, but probably something with magical power.

Since what happened some time ago, tribes of all sizes in the Saville Kingdom have begun to pay more attention to the ancient legends, mysterious powers and other things of their respective tribes.

It's a pity that the Kingdom of Maris rose rapidly with its industry. After that, it suppressed the Kingdom of Savile in all aspects for the past two hundred years. As a result, the Kingdom of Savile began to be dominated by industry. Some more radical tribes even simply thought that

The ancient books collected by tribes that record all kinds of weird things are dross that should be discarded. Therefore, during the industrial reform movement that affected the entire Savile Kingdom, many tribes burned the books passed down by their tribes.

.

The various city-states in the west are close to the Kingdom of Maris, and are naturally greatly affected by the industrial transformation of the Kingdom of Maris. Therefore, when books were burned back then, almost all small tribes such as the United Caravan did it.

Therefore, even if various tribes now pay attention to the mysterious power again, they have no way to start because the books related to it have been burned.

However, now an item containing magical power appears in front of them, and no one will allow people from other tribes to touch this item. After all, who knows what will happen after people from other tribes touch this item.

Will this item have any other abnormal reactions?

The supervisor looked at the partner displeased and said, "Kesang, you are too serious. I just want to confirm whether the little guy in your tribe is lying."

"No need, our tribe will confirm this matter ourselves, and our tribe is also willing to pay compensation for injuries. Let this end like this!" The tribe elder did not give others a chance to ask the child again, and directly said to him

After making a summary of the matter, he took the children of his tribe and walked out of the tent.

When everyone else in the tent saw that the protagonist had already left, there was no need to stay any longer. They all got up and left. When only the caravan manager was left, he lowered his head and ordered to his subordinates: "Send someone to keep an eye on Ke."

People from Sang's tribe must find out where that wood carving came from."

After Elder Kesang carried the little guy back to his tribe's camp, he quickly asked about the origin of the wood carvings, and also knew that there were several types of wood carvings in Leo's hands.

At this moment, Elder Kesang thought that Leo must not know the value of these wood carvings, so he gave them to a child so casually, which meant that he could buy them at a very low price if he handled them well.

The remaining wood carvings allow your tribe to possess a batch of items containing mysterious power.

Thinking of this, Elder Kesang wanted to find Leo immediately and spend a lot of money to buy those wood carvings from Leo. But he also knew very well that people from other tribes would definitely be watching him. Once he got close to the foreigner,

After carrying the cart, I am afraid that other members of the tribe will join in. Not to mention buying the wood carvings by then, I am afraid that the foreigner will also know the value of the wood carvings and will not sell them again.

Therefore, he can only remain calm now and wait for the opportunity to go to the foreigner. As for the wood carving in the child's hands, it has naturally been returned to the tribe, and he will slowly study the function of this wood carving when he has the opportunity.

, and the children were also closely protected to prevent the news from leaking.

For a time, the joint caravan, which was originally very united, had cracks inside because of this small wooden sculpture. Although on the surface they did not show any discordant behavior, it can be seen carefully from the layout of their respective camps.

Yes, they are all wary of each other.

The owner of the caravan hired by Leo was obviously a discerning person. When he brought food to Leo at noon, he told Leo about the uncomfortable atmosphere in the caravan and told Leo to keep his weapons by his side.

, beware of accidents.

After hearing the reminder, Leo directly used the spiritual network to check the situation in the camp, and found that the cause of this internal tension was actually the wood carving he gave to the child.

Although this incident is a bit surprising, in Leo's opinion, it is not a bad thing, because he can sell these wood carvings to these tribes at a high price to accumulate more funds on hand.

Therefore, he did not plan to do anything, but stayed quietly in the tent, waiting for the caravan tribes, large and small, to come to his door.

The day soon passed. The joint caravan did not change its plan because of what happened during the day, and continued on the road according to the original plan.

However, compared to the previous day, the caravan's speed this night was much slower, and the caravan's guards also held weapons in their hands, and from time to time sent people forward or around to explore the situation.

The reason why they are so nervous is because the caravan has now truly entered the hinterland of the Little Gusi Desert, which is also a place where sand pirates often hang out.

The tense atmosphere in the caravan also directly affected the small team behind them. They all gathered together and followed closely. Everyone kept their heads down and hurried on, and no one spoke.

As the time entered the second half of the night, the caravan had passed through the core area of ​​the Little Gusi Desert. If the current speed remained unchanged, it should be able to reach Lake Bonana on the edge of the Little Gusi Desert before dawn. This also represented the business

The team is about to leave the Little Gusi Desert and enter the Quinsis Snow Mountain.

However, things are not always so smooth sailing. Not long after the caravan once again sent people to the front and surrounding areas to investigate the situation, a sharp whistle that resounded through the desert came from the left side of the caravan.

When the whistle came, the convoy immediately stopped, and all the armed personnel raised their weapons. The convoy manager sent a few people over there to investigate the situation. Soon, several more whistles came, and along with the whistle

The ones who made the noise were also those who were sent out before.

"What did you find?" The supervisor immediately led people to greet him and asked several times.

"Someone is following us. Judging from his attire, he must be a sand bandit," one of them said, "I originally wanted to catch a guy, but he ran away."

"Do you know which group of people they are from?" the caravan manager asked in a deep voice.

"Looking at the attire, he looks like an owl."

"Xiao? Now we're in trouble." The caravan director's face became ugly, and everyone else also had a gloomy expression. Then the caravan director immediately ordered to stop the march, and the caravan began to set up camp again, and in a short time the camp was built into

A defensive position.

The actions of the caravan also frightened the people in the small team behind them. They also hurriedly stationed themselves near the caravan camp. However, they also did not build a well-defended barracks. Instead, they chose to use pack trucks.
