Chapter 621 The Whole World Has Changed?
Now turn the perspective back to the Central Plains.
Outside Baihe City, a team from the north immediately caught the attention of the soldiers on duty on the wall.
But you don't need to be on guard at all.
Because the giant mammoth and the ice bear warriors riding on the ice bear are too conspicuous.
"It's the exploration team sent to the Bitter Cold! The exploration team is back!"
The news that the exploration team had returned from the Bitter Cold Land spread across the entire wall in an instant.
Then he got into the ears of Zhang Lue who was on duty.
Outside the city, Hill, who was sitting on the back of the mammoth Huck, looked at the city in front of him from a distance, and always felt that the city had become more majestic than when she left.
This is indeed the case.
In fact, Baihe City has been expanded twice towards the north.
The area of an entire city has increased by about a quarter.
"Finally home……"
Wait, why did she say it back?
Hill shook his head slightly.
Even she couldn't deny that in the few months she went deep into the bitter cold, she missed the life of the civilization of the world a little bit.
Although compared with the frozen soil where she has lived for more than 20 years, she has only lived in Wanjie Civilization for one winter.
The news that Hill and the others had safely returned to Myriad Realms Civilization was quickly delivered to Luo Ji.
After a long journey, they obviously need to rest in Baihe City for a few days.
By the time they returned to Mirror City, it was already two weeks later.
Much has changed along the way.
The biggest change is that there seem to be two more cities coming out...
God, how long have they been gone? There are actually two more cities on the road?
As for these two cities, one of them is undoubtedly Qingshui City, which was just completed some time ago.
The other is the territory of the werewolf tribe.
After many awards and expansions by Luo Ji.
The werewolf tribe's current residence, although still a little smaller, seems to have completely met the standards of a city.
At the same time, it was officially named "Langya City" by Luo Ji.
It made the other orc tribes envious for quite a while.
Afterwards, Hill and the others who arrived at Mirror City were stunned again.
There was a huge difference between the buildings and streets in the city and the appearance they remembered.
It caused them to get lost for a while.
And those new goblins, cat people, tiger people, and a whole bunch of novelties that they can't even name, are constantly refreshing their worldview.
How did it feel that they left, and when they came back, the whole world had changed?
At this time, the entire civilization of Wanjie was busy preparing and checking winter supplies.
In a short period of time, Luo Ji obviously didn't have time to summon them.
However, Luo Ji was not in a hurry at all.
Because the exploration team doesn't care whether they find the resource or not.
The location of that resource point was not within his reach.
In other words, the reason why he sent an exploration team to the Bitter Cold Land was just to preempt the expansion of the territory in the future.
Under this premise, is there any difference between listening to the report a few days later or a few days earlier?
In this way, Luo Ji is not in a hurry, then Hill and the others are not in a hurry.
For Hill and the others, who had just left the sea of misery.
Even if you don't do anything every day, just huddle in the bed and sleep, you are happy.
God knows how long they haven't had a good night's sleep?
Not to mention that there are all kinds of delicious and plentiful food in Der Spiegel.
Let them enjoy it first.
And by the time Luo Ji actually summoned them, it was close to the end of the month.
Take the map that was presented.
It was drawn by members of the expedition team during the months deep into the bitter cold.
The moment Luo Ji took over the map.
His system map was updated synchronously.
The bitter cold land that was originally shrouded in mist was cleared out at once.
To use a phrase from their gaming circles.
That is to open the field of vision.
For Luo Ji, just relying on this map, this trip to the bitter cold is not a waste of time.
However, Hill and the others obviously brought him more news.
Of course, the news isn't necessarily good.
For example, from Hill and the others' reports, Luo Ji learned that a group of monsters that looked like long-haired pigs had appeared in the Bitter Cold Land.
According to Hill's description of the physical characteristics of those monsters.
Nine times out of ten, the orcs didn't run away.
After all, in his Myriad Realms civilization, apart from humans and goblins, there are only a wide variety of orcs.
There are orcs in the Bitter Cold, which is hardly good news.
Because this means that if he wants to expand his territory to the Bitter Cold Land in the future, he will have to face the obstacles of many orcs.
However, the news has only just been finished.
Hill soon had another bad news for him.
That is, the orcs have occupied the original territory of their northern tribes...
The main purpose of their trip.
In other words, the resource points that Luo Ji needed them to confirm were all near that area.
"So, you came back empty-handed this time?"
There was no joy or sorrow in his tone, which made it impossible to know his joy or anger.
But it made Hill and the others feel a pressure invisibly.
"Actually, it's not like coming back empty-handed."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Luo Ji raised his brows slightly.
Immediately, his gaze shifted for a while, and the one who spoke at this time was Jiang Yan, the captain of the exploration team.
After all, they lived with Hill and the others for several months, or they lived and died together in a bitter cold place with harsh environment.
The members of the exploration team also formed some revolutionary friendships with them.
After feeling the change in the atmosphere, Jiang Yan immediately stood up.
He then presented the ores he discovered to Luo Ji's eyes.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, although there is no way to confirm the originally scheduled resource point, our exploration team discovered some other ores and resource points along the way."
There are so many types of minerals in this world.
And he didn't specialize in this, and he glanced at it casually, but he didn't see anything.
After directly signaling the guards beside him, he sent these ores to the Ore Research Institute for research.
Luo Ji's voice softened a little.
"You've worked so hard this time..."
While speaking, he directly gave Hill and Harold, as well as the members of the exploration team, a generous reward.
While this trip was full of bad news, there was value in intelligence.
He has never been stingy in such matters.
As for the construction of the city, Luo Ji didn't mention it, and neither did Hill and the others.
Because strictly speaking, their mission was a failure.
Since it is a failure, there is no reason to get the promised reward.
