Chapter 240 - Sailing Overseas (1/2)

Time ticked away.

Soran frowned at the nautical chart, then picked up a quill pen and drew on it. “Not here, not here!… There are monsters here!… The natives here are too strong!… There are only two places left! ”

Five or six positions were crossed in a row, and Soran had only two left in front of him.

Although these two locations were not the best places, they would be the easiest places to develop towns. Soran did not have thousands of professions under him to be dispatched. that is to say, the manpower he had now was not even comparable to the small and medium-sized guilds in his previous life. After all, most of the people who expanded overseas at that time were in grade three. Soran’s men above grade three were all pirate leaders. His only advantage was their high-end combat prowess. With Vivian’s and his strength, they could crush ordinary enemies.

“Islands, routes, natural ports, coastal locations.”

Opening up overseas is not just to find a piece of land and draw a picture of reclamation. It’s a dead-end act.

The core of Soran’s development depended on maritime trade. Hence, a natural port was essential. The location had to be coastal to facilitate transportation. Then there was the route. The route had to be relatively safe to avoid dangerous areas. It was best to have islands with freshwater for replenishing purposes or a transfer station nearby or some sort.

All in all, it would take seven or eight days to sail across the seas!

After all, the Overseas Islands were still overseas. A trip back and forth would take more than half a month.

“Looks like we have to see both places.”

Soran put the nautical chart away and was ready to get up to look at something else. But at this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and then a panting maid trotted over and said: “Your… Your Excellency!… She!….. She’s awake! ”

Soran was stunned when he heard it and exhibited a touch of excitement.

He could not care about anything else. Soran did not even leave through the door. He directly jumped out of the window, as if his whole body turned into a shadow, he rushed into the room at the back of the courtyard.

“Big brother!…”

Soran just walked into the room and Vivian crisply called out to him. Her expression seemed a little tired. After her small figure sat up on the bed, she raised her little hands and rubbed the corner of her eyes. As if she barely woke up, she said: “How long have I slept?… I feel like I’ve been sleeping for a long time again!… ”

“Five days.” Soran inspected her carefully, then asked, “Vivian? How do you feel?”

The little girl raised her hand to cover her mouth and murmured: “I slept for so long again?…. Hmm… I don’t know either!… It’s just that I feel a little tired. I feel like sleeping again!….”

Still sleepy?

Soran looked stunned for a moment and softly said: “Did you have any dreams?…. What did you dream about?!… ”

“Dreams?”

The little girl seemed to have remembered something. The cute little face of hers showed signs of recollection. She bit her finger a little bit. When Soran frowned and took her finger off her mouth, she stuck out her tongue. The little girl would bite her finger sometimes. It was a habit occasionally happened. She tilted her head and murmured: “I dreamt of a monster that was like an Octopus!… Big brother!… That big octopus was so hard to kill! I’ve smashed it into pieces, but I couldn’t get rid of it completely! ”

“Oh!… In the end, there was no way!… I could only cook it and eat it!”

Eat?

Soran’s expression was a little dazed, but he recovered soon.
