Chapter 125 - Clueless (1/2)

Hao Xuan left Fortuna with a purpose, to find a location for the new city, but after traveling for about an hour or so he stopped near a small stream, stumped.

He had absolutely no idea where to start or any knowledge as to what he was looking for other than the vague instructions that came with the mission. He was probably the last person that should've been put in charge of such an important task because of his lack of knowledge about the Mei Kingdom or this world in general.

Although he had been living here for more than a year now, it was still quite new to him. Nonetheless, he didn't shy away from the challenge and intended to see it through.

He had left from the northern gateway this time, without giving it much thought. To rescue the royals from last time he had to venture out towards the south-west which is where the Poison Quarry is located.

”That reminds me, I still haven't seen the map of the entire kingdom, have I?” he suddenly remembered and logged into the military portal from his Spirit Band.

Although he couldn't accept missions or use his points from the Spirit band, he could still access the portal for information and other things.

The map of the kingdom was available to the general public but what he wanted was the one with all the confidential information which was only meant for the eyes of the higher ups.

Using his credentials he requested the best map available to someone of his rank and got an email with a link after about five minutes or so.

With a smile, he relaxed and sat down next to the stream with his feet dangling in the cold water. Zhurong was still asleep in his arms so he didn't bother waking him up. He opened the map and a light shot out from his spirit band and fell on his face.

”Identity Confirmed: Captain Deimos!”

”Acess Granted”

”Acess level: Alpha”

”Huh? When did they change my name to Deimos even in the military? Shouldn't it be my real name?” he frowned seeing the notifications come up one after another.

”I'll ask someone once I get back,” but he didn't linger on it too much and focused on the hologram that was being projected from the spirit band.

His current location was shown as just outside Fortuna city, even though he had traveled for a good hour and was several thousand kilometers away. He zoomed out a bit more and could see some of the surrounding areas of the city. It was mostly jungle with a few small dots here and there which represented small towns. Each town had a population of tens of thousands but on the map, they were represented with such a small dot that if he wasn't paying attention they could easily be ignored.

He zoomed out once again and all the small dots disappeared, leaving only the cities which looked like walled off areas. This was good but not what he needed. Again he clicked on the minus sign which zoomed out till all the cities disappeared as well.

Now he could see the entire kingdom.

To the south was the Azure ocean. To the West was the Jia Kingdom and to the east was another kingdom whose name wasn't showing.

He looked towards the coastal area and only saw a single name there, the ”Port of Dragon's Fall”. (Map link in authors notes)
