Kapitel 217: Chapter 124 Accidental Encounter

In the following days, Xiulote was still in a hurry. He darted around the outskirts of the Lake Capital City like a breeze skimming the surface of Lake Texcoco, pursuing the light that tore through time and space.

To the southeast of the dike outside the Lake Capital City, there were two fairly large islands: one named Zakatramanko, the other Yitakata. The names of the islands roughly related to "Saltwater," "Saline Land," "Reed Thickets," which also reflected the desolate appearance of the area.

These islands, situated in the Saltwater Lake, bore no potential for transformation into Chinampa and thus remained uninhabited. Only waterbirds made their nests there, and occasionally merchants would anchor. Now, Aweit had granted both small islands to Xiulote for use as experimental fields for gunpowder research.
