Before the arrival of Nie Li and the group, every family has already dispatched some people to explore these ancient ruins. It was a pity that there wasn't much of a discovery. Hence, there aren't that many people who come here to explore after that. Chen Linjian somehow got his hand on the map of the Ancient Orchid City Ruins, which is why he decided to explore this place.
"Finally, we've reached the Ancient Orchid City Ruins! Now, we have two routes that we can take. Here's the map!" said Chen Linjian, spreading out the map and pointed to the lines on the map.
Everyone began to surround the map and started to discuss which route to take.
"The first route is towards the west gate. By walking along the walls, we can reach the main city quickly. However, what can we find on this route? We'll definitely want to enter the houses in the city so that we can get some spoils!" said one of Chen Linjian's underlings.
"I agree to his view!"
"Yeah, we should search around this house area!" Everyone parroted.
Chen Linjian was silent for a moment. He raised his head, looked towards Nie Li and asked "What do you think?"
Everyone got a little surprised. They never thought that Chen Linjian would ask for Nie Li's opinion at this moment.
Ye Ziyun also looked at Nie Li with her bright eyes. Huyan Lanruo was also unable to take her eyes off Nie Li.
Now, everyone was very concerned about Nie Li's view.
Nie Li spread his hand out and said, "If you guys came here just to search the houses, then that would be a big mistake! Those that came before have already searched the commoner's houses. Even if we were to search them again, we wouldn't get any gains. Generally in a city, who is the wealthiest? Is it the commoners? Of course not. 90% of the wealth of a city are in the hands of the big families."
"There's a radius of hundreds of miles in this place. There are so many commoners houses and a lot of the places here have been destroyed. How would we know where these big families are located?" Shen Yue retorted at one side. As long as it's Nie Li's words, he must retort.
"Continue speaking." Chen Linjian said, looking at Nie Li in an interesting manner. Apparently, he agrees with Nie Li's deduction.
"It's easy to find the inhabitant of big families. Which building in this map is the most sparse? That is the location! Generally, big families would have their own courtyard." Nie Li continued.
Everyone's eyes fell on the map upon hearing Nie Li's speech.
"Here!" Huyan Lanruo said, pleasantly surprised.
"Correct. This should be this place. A lot of buildings here are very large!"
Chen Linjian frowned and said, "This area has already been searched. Although some goods were found, it wasn't much. Some of the people even dug 3 feet down into the place and couldn't find any chamber related areas!"
"I say, what you are thinking of, couldn't others have thought of that, too? You think that every big family in Glory City are vegetarians?" Shen Yue snorted.
Nie Li frowned, stared at Shen Yue and said, "When I'm talking, can you shut up? Since you're so smart, why don't you take over?"
