About the map and some things that need to be explained
First, I don’t know how to post maps in chapters, and the address I got has been hacked, so I can only post the maps used in the book in the book group sharing. Interested book friends can go and take a look. In the future, new maps will be uploaded according to the progress of the story. I sincerely apologize for causing trouble to everyone.
Second, book lovers who are too lazy to join the group can also refer to some of the place names mentioned below to compare ancient and modern times, so as to have a general understanding of the places where the stories in the novel take place.
