For the next period of time, everything was peaceful. Someone provided food and lodging, and we could occasionally take some things with us.
Su Qing was happy to accept this.
The 50 million magic crystals prepared by the old king were also delivered one after another, resulting in a significant increase in their strength.
Everything is moving in a positive direction.
Meanwhile, the caravans of Dragon Territory gradually spread in all directions, with luxury goods and weapons becoming the core products for sale.
At the same time, the intelligence system also began to expand slowly.
A group of highly skilled intelligence agents have been stationed in various kingdoms, sowing seeds for future generations.
They also established personnel outposts in some of the major cities of the four empires.
This also brought news to Su Qing.
The plan to clear out forbidden areas seems to have been decided, and the first batch will target a total of 28 forbidden areas, excluding the mainland center.
There were twenty-eight forbidden areas at the beginning. It's really hard to imagine how many gods died a thousand years ago.
Smacking her lips, Su Qing looked at the list in her hand.
These are the names and locations of the twenty-eight forbidden areas that have been discovered.
Of these, sixteen are located in the center of the mainland, eight are at sea, and the remaining four are distributed in other places.
The names are all very distinctive: Death Castle, Golden Forest, Flame Canyon, Corrosive Swamp...
Is it possible to easily distinguish what attributes the gods of death are in these forbidden areas?
Three names were highlighted on the list.
This means that these three forbidden areas are the most dangerous among the twenty-eight forbidden areas.
There are written explanations that the deities associated with death in these three forbidden areas are unknown, but they are all suspected to be extremely powerful.
A sea of spray!
There is an inland sea, which I heard was originally a mountain range that turned into a vast ocean overnight.
Golden Forest!
Anyone who enters this forest will become a part of it, their body will turn into various kinds of metal, and they will never be able to leave.
Cursed Kingdom!
The most dangerous and mysterious of the three places.
That place was originally an empire, but at some point, a mysterious curse began to spread, and it only took three days to completely engulf the entire empire.
It wasn't until that time that people realized a god might have died there.
Su Qing felt a little uneasy. He admitted that he was powerful, but the problem was that the description in your writing was a bit too creepy.
Mountains turning into oceans is one thing, but the phrase "the sea changes into mulberry fields" is something he knew how to use in his past life.
He can swim, and he's especially good at breaststroke and dog paddle.
But then there's the golden forest where entering it will turn your body into metal.
Su Qing suddenly wanted to go there to take a look. She had no other purpose than pure curiosity.
If it's really that good.
You throw stones in and pull gold out; even if it's not gold but some other metal, it's still more valuable than stones.
You only need to pay for the losses incurred during transportation.
A highly profitable business.
Finally, there was the Cursed Kingdom. The ominous sound of the language made him really want to drag out the person who had been asking for information and give them a good beating.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Qing stood up. Although he himself was not very clear about it, there must be someone in the Rose Empire who knew these forbidden areas in detail.
He planned to go to his current ally, the old king, to inquire about the situation.
Stepping into the magnificent palace, one is enveloped in ultimate luxury, showcasing the grandeur of an empire.
Led by Su Qingren, they met the old king.
Compared to a while ago, the old king has clearly aged a bit more.
This made him worry that the old king might suddenly die on the spot.
In that case, the surprise would be too sudden.
Of course, he was overthinking it; the old king was still in good health.
When he saw Su Qing, he clearly showed surprise.
"Your Excellency, you summoned me because you still have questions about our cooperation?"
"No!"
Su Qing shook her head, revealing a very serious expression, which was quite rare for her: "There's something I need to ask you. How much do you know about the forbidden area? I hope to get a detailed answer."
Upon hearing his question, the old king was clearly taken aback and momentarily lost in thought before being reminded by someone nearby.
A hint of emotion first appeared on his face, followed by a smile.
"Sorry, I got a little distracted. I actually do know a bit about the forbidden area."
"First question, do you know why our four great empires are located in the center of the continent?"
Su Qing was taken aback, then squinted at the old king: "Is there some special meaning to this?"
The old king smiled and said, "The war of the gods a thousand years ago swept across the entire continent, and all the gods were involved, so death was naturally inevitable."
"Even the Temple and the Holy See, which were already the strongest forces on the continent at the time, inevitably suffered losses."
"Six mid-level gods, and dozens of lower-level gods."
"Two of the six intermediate gods have no descendants, while the royal families of our four great empires are the descendants of the other four intermediate gods."
"Therefore, in the center of the continent are our four great empires, and only our four great empires."
So this is the origin of the four great empires?
Su Qing was somewhat surprised, but not entirely.
After all, there are so many kings, but only four empires in the center of the continent. This explanation is both unexpected and reasonable.
The old king noticed the change in Su Qing's expression and smiled faintly: "It is because our ancestors died and transformed into the forbidden land that we, their descendants, whether we want to find the possibility of resurrecting our ancestors or for some other reason, have all searched for information about the forbidden land."
Su Qing caught a word in the old king's words: resurrection!
