Dean unfolded the paper with the mood of studying serious matters, and when he opened it, he saw a very abstract rose.
No, saying this is a rose is an insult to the rose.
It looked like a deformed pile of excrement, which made Dean feel that Meng En might get along well with Crab Erha.
But maybe it was the previous handwriting that paved the way for it. When he saw the rose, he had an unexpected feeling.
With a helpless sigh, Dean pulled out a map from the bookshelf, spread it out, and laid it under the letter paper.
This is a rough version of the map that almost everyone in the empire has. Although a lot of information is missing, it can barely be used to identify areas. It has been a long time since Dean bought it, and this is the first time it has been put to use.
As we all know, Empire District 13, although ranked according to prosperity and distance from the core, is not distributed in a ring.
Rather, it was divided in a form that was more in line with the empire's territory.
The first is the core District 1. As the seat of the emperor, this small circular area is located at the core of the empire. It is surrounded by two circular areas, District 2 and District 3, forming the so-called "Shanghai Three." district".
The core force of the empire is located in this small area.
Further outside, there are areas 4, 5 and 6. The three crescent-shaped areas are like three petals, wrapping the "upper three areas" from three directions, forming the center of this "rose". The bottom of the flower, and the following 7, 8, and 9, are like extended petals, surrounding the gaps between 4, 5, and 6, wrapping the "upper three areas" airtightly, like a blooming flower. Rose.
The two areas 10 and 11 are much more independent. They are the "green leaves" located on the left and right sides of the "rose", which expands the width of the empire's territory and gives the empire more strategic flexibility.
As for Area 13, it is located at the bottom of the rose bouquet together with Area 12. Like a rhizome, it borders Hoshiki Nohara, where a large number of monsters live. It has also become the empire's first line of defense against the intrusion of monsters.
Flowers, green leaves, and rhizomes combine to form an empire that resembles a rose.
Therefore, it is called the Rose Empire by many people who cannot pronounce the full name of the empire.
Although the empire has not officially recognized this title, the rose is very popular among the upper echelons of the empire and even the royal family. It is also true that there is a faint tendency to become the national flower.
The people of the empire had an unabashed preference for roses.
From nobles to commoners, they can all draw pictures vividly, at least they can draw people to recognize that this is a rose.
So speaking of grace, Dean's eyes were opened today.
He has been in another world for so long, and this is the first time he has seen a "rose" of this level.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if Crab Erha holds the painting with pliers, it will look better than this.
Dean used colored ink to deepen the route drawn in red handwriting. Dean looked at the light for a long time and copied and traced it on the big map before finally understanding what Meng En wanted to express.
"Teleport from Area 5 to Area 12, and then walk to Area 13..."
Depicting the route with his fingers, Dean propped up his chin and showed a thoughtful expression.
To be honest, based on his understanding of the Empire's 13th District, he couldn't tell whether this route was better than others.
But judging from the transmission price alone, this is indeed relatively cost-effective, and the safety is also guaranteed. With the strength of Meng En and others, the risk of taking this route should not be too high, if you are fast. , it will take about four or five days to arrive.
