Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Zerikan's twin slave girls were immediately stunned.

They thought about the humiliation and mistreatment they might suffer if they were auctioned off by slave traders.

The [Rune Restriction Collar] worn around the neck has continuous mental interference capabilities.

Even if they want to commit suicide, it is difficult for them to do so.

Such rune-restricted items themselves are very expensive.

It is considered part of the cost of slavery.

It is also the best auxiliary tool to tame the wild nature of slaves.

In addition, when slave-catching teams penetrate deep into border countries, they are easily hunted down by counterattacks.

Often with heavy losses, the slave trade was not cheap.

But the two sisters never expected that the other party, their master, would actually crush the controller.

The solid rune material was like a thin cookie in Zong Shen's hands.

He destroyed the controller with almost no effort.

After patting away the powder left by the controller in his palm, Zong sat back down calmly.

He picked up a melon and fruit on the table and threw them to the two sisters.

Sister Zerikan subconsciously caught the fruit.

"Eat."

He said calmly.

The two sisters have chapped lips, which indicates a lack of moisture in the body.

As the auction approaches, it becomes clear that the slave traders are not going to take good care of them.

The two sisters did not answer immediately, but touched the collars around their necks.

Then it was discovered that it had completely lost its binding ability.

They pulled the collar off with just a slight tug.

In theory, the two sisters were freed from their slave status.

However, they did not run away, but stared blankly at Zong Shen sitting in front of them.

"Gali Daka?"

"Asa?"

A few weird syllables suddenly came out of their mouths.

This is not the common language of the Endless Continent.

It is the ancient language of the islands east of the mainland.

Zong Shen was not surprised by this. The current common language of the Endless Continent only appeared with the rise of the human kingdom in the last era.

After the coexistence of human kingdoms was formed, it took nearly a thousand years for it to gradually become popular and become the lingua franca of the new generation in the mainland.

Before that, each region on the continent had relatively independent ancient languages.

To this day, many border nations and minority ethnic groups, including Zerekan, still retain their regional ancient languages.

Moreover, regional issues are a topic that cannot be avoided in Endless Continent.

The environment of the island is also relatively independent, and it is normal for the Zerikan people to have their own ancient language.

"Do you understand Common Tongue?"

Zong Shen asked casually.

After a moment of silence, the female slave sisters nodded slightly and pointed outside the terrace.

"Bad guy, taught us, a little bit."

"I am my sister, Karan Silier."

"She is my sister, Karan Bebeka."

The temperaments of the two women are actually completely different. It was the elder sister who spoke first.

She has a tear mole next to the corner of her right eye, her hair is longer, and her expression is not so violent, but more gentle.

The younger sister didn't take the initiative to talk much. She didn't have any moles on her face and had a rather cold temperament.

Zerikan's name is different from the common human race in the Endless Continent. Their surname comes first and their given name comes last.

Moreover, their names were searched by the strategy module and were each of a type of flower and plant found on the local island.

Now that we can communicate initially, the next thing will be easier to handle.

Otherwise, Zong Shen would have to find a way to use the strategy module to translate, and then he would use writing to communicate with the other party, which would be too laborious.

It now seemed that although the Zerikan sisters in front of them were not very fluent in speaking Common Language, they could at least understand him.

To know any language, understanding it and speaking it are two different things.

"Why don't you run away?"

Zong Shen raised the corner of his mouth and asked with interest.

But the two sisters looked at each other silently, and then shook their heads.

"You are strong and different from them."

Sister Karan Sirier said slowly, using an inverted sentence.

When Zong Shen heard this, his eyes showed a more interested look.

"oh?"

"Can you feel my strength?"

He did not release his momentum, and all his strength was in a state of restraint.

Unless the two sisters possess high-level passive detection capabilities, logically speaking, they cannot discern his true strength.

Zong stayed in the giant city for two days. Except when he took the initiative to show off, no one discovered that he was a legendary powerhouse.

This question gave the two sisters completely different expressions.

A faint smile appeared on Karan Sirier's face, while her sister Karan Bebeka snorted coldly.

I saw Silier pointing at her nose.

"Smell it."

"You are strong, and you have no evil intentions towards us."

Although the Zerikan sisters can communicate, they speak hesitantly.

Like a baby learning to speak, it can only speak word by word.

After hearing Silier's explanation, Zong Shen became more interested in the Zerikans.

"Smell it?"

"really interesting!"

He raised his hand to signal the two sisters to take a seat, not worrying at all that they would run away rashly.

In situ Silier and Bebeka made subtle eye contact.

After hesitating for a while, they both took their seats.

They even picked up the fruit Zong Shen threw to them before and started eating it.

The two women were indeed hungry and thirsty.

Someone from Zong just took a glance and found that their hunger and fullness levels were only over 30 points.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, he asked about the strategy module.

"Tell me about the Zerekan Clan Kingdom."

"And the two sisters have an amazing sense of smell."

(Zerikan is located on the Blue Mountain Island in the eastern sea of ​​Endless Continent. There are a total of eighteen clans in the kingdom.

The social structure is relatively primitive and matrilineal worship is practiced.

There are both forests and island deserts on the big island.

The Zerikans are brave and good at fighting. The men are dark-skinned and short in stature.

Women are physically strong, resolute, flexible, and good at using knives in combat.

Almost every clan has different sword skills

There are also several female warriors and swordsmen from Zerikan in the Endless Continent today.

The Zerikans hunt and fight all year round and are extremely sensitive to the special smells emitted by various creatures.

Because many smells can reveal the current status of the target

Through smell, they can even roughly identify whether the opponent is hostile, and can also smell the opponent's physical condition and general strength.

This can be regarded as a talent evolved by the ethnic group)

…

Strategy tips written in gold slowly emerged, perfectly answering Zong Shen's doubts.

It must be said that the two Karan sisters were quite smart and did not choose to escape.

This is the giant city of Lentax, a city in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Avalon where the slave trade is quite rampant.

If the Zerikan sisters leave here, without shelter and without collars around their necks, they may soon be captured by the Biede slave caravan.

Therefore, the two sisters did not choose to escape, but stayed with Zong Shen.

At least they were sure that Zong Shen didn't have much hostility.

Hostility manifests itself in the sense of smell of the Zerikans as a special odor.

At this time, the people in the auction house below were exuding a strong stench to the two sisters.

In comparison, Zong Shen was too pleasing to their eyes.

After he knew what was going on, he didn't want to be nagging and was ready to go straight to the point and send out the invitation.

As long as they are willing to join the territory, they will be accepted into the loyalty system.

Being a slave and becoming a subject are completely incompatible.

Slaves in the Endless Continent have no authority over themselves.

Female slaves must be humiliated and manipulated, while male slaves are as lowly as dogs and do not have any human rights.

It is much better to become a subject, although the restrictions of the loyalty system are also very strong.

But at least they can still maintain certain human rights.

The most important thing is that Zong Shen is not that mean guy.

Although he is not very good, he is not very bad either.

For example, Haoyin was transformed from a slave status, and his current life is considered a blessing to him.

If you follow a good lord, you will be able to ascend to heaven.

Therefore, in terms of emotions and reasons, as well as public and private matters, it can be said that joining Zong Shen's staff is the best choice for the two Zerikan sisters.

But before that, Zong Shen had to take a look at their attributes.

Watching the two sisters finish the fruit quickly, they looked at the snacks on the table eagerly.

Zong Shen smiled slightly, took out two water bags and some dry food, and pushed the remaining snacks on the table in front of the Zerikan sisters.

"Eat, you're welcome."

he greeted again.

The two sisters swallowed and started to devour the food after only a moment's hesitation.

Among them, his sister Karan Sirir even thanked him gently.

"Thank you... thank you!"

As long as you are an intelligent race, you can feel kindness.

The so-called wild female swordsman is actually not that wild.

While the two sisters were having a good meal, Zong Shen observed them silently.

The attribute list and golden subtitles appear simultaneously.

…

Since the two sisters have not yet joined the territory, some attributes are temporarily unavailable for viewing.

Judging from the four basic attributes alone, both sisters have standard fifth-level combat power.

Even slightly higher than the fifth-level swordsman of Avalon.

And it is also the route of "double cultivation" of Li Min.

A combination of strength and agility.

If such attributes were placed a month ago, they would have been pretty good for Zong Shen.

But now he doesn't think much of it,

However, their current attributes do not represent their future potential.

In addition to being able to possess [Lord Level Passive Skills], Hero-level talents can also possess [Lord-level passive skills].

The most important thing is the [hero skills] it possesses.

Thinking of this, Zong Shen opened this option for Silier and Bebeka respectively.

[Hero: Karan Siliel]

[Hero Skill: Twin Flowers (Orange): Twin sisters have the same mind. When fighting side by side with their sister, they will gain additional combat gains. The specific increase depends on the situation.

Zerikan female warrior (purple): When fighting with a knife weapon, she will receive an additional 20% slashing damage bonus and have faster reaction capabilities.

Scent capture (purple): Able to keenly capture the scent pheromones emitted by living creatures

Natural Walker (Blue): Basic movement speed increased by 15%】

…

[Hero: Karan Bebeka]

Scent capture (purple): Able to keenly capture the scent pheromones emitted by living creatures

Pain activation (purple): When suffering pain, the reaction ability will be increased depending on the pain intensity]

…

Both sisters have four [Hero Skills].

Among them, [Twin Flowers (Orange)] and [Scent Capture (Purple)] are the same.

Sister Silier also has [Zerikan Female Warrior (Purple)] and [Natural Walker (Blue)].

Sister Bebeka is [Double Swordsman (Purple)] and [Pain Activation (Purple)].

These are relatively practical talent skills.

The heroic bias of the two sisters is obviously fighting.

In particular, my younger sister Bebeka is more suitable to be trained as a sword master or swordsman.

No matter what, the potential of the two sisters is still good.

Among their personal skills, they all master the skill of [Clan Swordsmanship·Double-thorn Sword].

And the skill can be taught.

Zong Shen took a quick look and found that there were twelve moves in this sword technique, covering twelve small skills and blocking moves with different damage-increasing effects.

Learning has certain attribute requirements and time requirements.

If you have time, you can learn from someone.

After he finished checking the attributes initially, the two sisters were also full.

Zong Shen got straight to the point and invited them directly.

"I am a lord, are you willing to join my territory?"

"After all, this place is far, far away from your hometown."

…
