As of August, the area developed by Andrew has reached 2,500 square kilometers.

A year ago, the newly developed area was only 400 square kilometers, and now it has expanded to such a degree that it completely explains what "horse racing" means.

The newly developed area has a population of more than 30,000 people, and is dotted with villages of various sizes. Some villages have three to five households with more than a dozen residents. These villages exist purely for the purpose of declaring sovereignty.

Therefore, Velin is now facing a serious problem, re-planning the newly developed area and exploring its value as much as possible.

The impact of Famine Sacrifice has passed, and the territory's population growth will slow down, which will also lead to a slowdown in territory expansion.

After all, the bigger the land area, the better. With a reasonable population structure, loyal officials, and complete rules and regulations, the territory you develop can truly belong to you.

On September 1st, Velin took several knights to the newly developed area.

Under the leadership of Andrew, Velin carefully inspected each area, just like when Lake of Praying Stars first arrived, they fully and meticulously understood the information of this area.

"Lord, the center of the newly developed area is a tributary of the Yellow Sand River. I named this tributary Blue Gauze River." Andrew pointed to a clear river at the foot of the mountain and explained to Velin.

"Why?"

Looking down from the hill, the river is only thirty meters wide at its widest point, running from southeast to northwest.

"Lord, please follow me down."

With curiosity, Velin followed Andrew along the river, all the way down.

After more than ten kilometers, after crossing a hill, a natural lake appeared in front of everyone.

Riding on the Red Phosphorus Horse, looking into the lake, the whole lake is like a blue gauze spread out on the earth.

"I never thought there would be such a beautiful place here." Velin couldn't help but admire it.

Andrew pointed to the lake in the distance and explained, "Lord, this lake is named Blue Gauze Lake, so the river that flows into this lake is called Blue Gauze River."

"This place was first the initial place for Pioneer to open up territory. The Juyidi he founded three years ago was destroyed in a monster attack. I also died in that disaster. Therefore, this place became an unclaimed land again and was occupied by his subordinates eight months ago."

"It seems that this person's life is short. It is a natural primitive land with no luck but no strength to protect it." Velin shook his head and commented to Andrew.

Andrew did not answer the call and continued to explain, "Lord, this is an excellent land for building a city. My subordinates suggest that we use this as the center to establish and manage the surrounding business areas."

"Okay, I'll follow your suggestion." Velin nodded and said, "I will move Star Prayer Town's Luoniu Camel Beast pasture. The rest will need to be managed by you. I can't give you unlimited resources."

"I'm sorry, Lord." Andrew replied.

"Now, the new business center has been decided. You can name this town."

Velin looked at Andrew and gave him the chance to name the new town.

Andrew thought for a while, and finally gave up the hint in Velin's words, choosing to follow the naming in his heart. "Let's call this town Blue Gauze Town."

Kyle heard this name and saw his own Lord nodding, so he recorded this name in a new area on the map - Blue Gauze Town, Qixing Territory's third town after Star Prayer Town and Orlando Town.

According to the latest industry division, the newly developed area will be divided into 850 square kilometers for Star Prayer Town, and the remaining 1,650 square kilometers of land will be divided into two parts.

Part of it is the Blue Gauze Town administrative area, covering 1,100 square kilometers.

One part is Buffer Pioneer Zone, which is managed by Blue Gauze Town, covering an area of 550 square kilometers.

For this part of the area, as the name suggests, it is free to develop. At this stage, Velin will not invest any resources in development. What it can develop into depends entirely on its own destiny.

Calculated in this way, the area of Orlando Town will become the smallest area among the three towns, with only eight square kilometers.

"We won't be able to expand outside within two years because we won't be able to eat enough."

"However, this does not mean that we will stop pioneering."

"So, I hope that Blue Gauze Town can develop within these two years. By then, it will at least serve as a hub connecting Star Prayer Town with the northern region. You can do it."

After listening to Velin's words, Andrew fell silent, then saluted and assured you, "Within two days, my subordinates will definitely develop Blue Gauze Town."

"I believe in your ability, and I hope you can surprise me."

After completing this investigation, Velin returned to his regular schedule.

Starting from September, Qixing Territory has officially formed a three-town and two-district layout, namely Star Prayer Town, Orlando Town, Blue Gauze Town, Ice Cold Region and Buffer Pioneer Zone.

In mid-September, four Green Vine Tree trees produced their first batch of sap, and were personally escorted to the castle by Landov.

Velin came to Training Ground, looked at the light blue juice in the special iron bucket, and listened to Landov's report.

"Lord, this is the first time Green Vine Tree has produced an output of 10 kilograms."

"In addition, Green Vine Mountain currently has nine Green Vine Tree trees, including four adult trees and five seedlings."

"Green Vine Tree, how long will it take for the seedlings to mature? Is there any estimate?" Velin asked Landov.

Landov heard this and answered Yu: "Twenty-five to thirty pounds, it should be in this range."

"Growth time is a problem, but it can't be solved at this stage."

Velin recalls the growth acceleration magic recorded in Druid's Book. It only requires Druid's profession to reach Silver Rank to learn it, but it can only be effective on ordinary crops.

For a special plant like Green Vine Tree, the minimum is Gold-tier Druid.

Suddenly, Velin thought of a solution. Adventurer's Tavern didn't have a ready-made Druid professional, but I didn't know if the other party knew it.

"Get ready, pack up Green Vine Sap, and come with me to visit someone this afternoon."

"Yes, Lord." Landov replied respectfully.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Velin took several people to Adventurer's Tavern to visit Aljerta.

On the second floor of Adventurer's Tavern, Velin and Aljerta sat face to face. Kyle and Landov stood behind Velin. As for the others, they were waiting on the first floor of the pub.

"My friend, I haven't seen you for a while." Aljerta poured a glass of wine for Velin and asked Yu confusedly.

Velin picked up the wine glass, put it to his mouth, and took a sip.

"Aljerta, your brewing skills are getting better and better."

"Thank you for the compliment." For Velin's praise, Aljerta is very popular.
