Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Zong Shen's method is very simple, that is, to give the choice to the two sisters.

He waved his right hand behind his back, took out the [Avalon Advancement Book (Purple)], and walked slowly in front of them.

On the brown cover of this advanced book is the kingdom emblem of a roaring dragon, which was also the former emblem of the Pendragon royal family.

The giant dragon was lifelike, and its previous type was a bit strange. The shape depicted did not look like a common five-color dragon, nor did it look like a metal dragon.

The giant dragon in the emblem is more majestic in shape than the known dragon species. It looks like it has majestic scales and horns, and has a special temperament that rules the world.

Although it is only a simple emblem, it has an inexplicable power.

It looks like the legendary nine-faced dragon god Io.

The so-called "Nine-faced Dragon God" means that the god Io can change into any form, communicate with and coexist peacefully with any living creature, and is worshiped and respected by thousands of races.

It definitely does not mean having nine heads or nine faces at the same time.

According to the worship habits of the Kingdom of Avalon, it is really possible that he is the nine-faced dragon god Io.

When he took out the [Avalon Advancement Book], he basically attracted the attention of the two sisters Madeline and Mapel instantly.

No professional warrior can resist the temptation to level up and become a hero.

Above the Dragonborn Ranger is the fourth-level Avalon Strike Ranger, which is also a relatively high-level marksman unit in the mainland.

Zong Shen was seen standing in front of the two sisters, shaking the advancement book in his hand.

He looked at each other with the two sisters before speaking slowly.

"Mapelle, Madeleine, here is an Avalon advancement book."

"I will give you one of the two sisters, and now I leave the decision to you."

Zong Shen said in a calm tone, and then placed the advanced book on the small round table in front of the two sisters.

Turning around and preparing to leave, this choice should be left to the two sisters themselves.

He didn't want to get involved and make confusing decisions.

"grown ups…"

The two sisters glanced at each other at the same time, and suddenly shouted when he was about to turn around and leave.

Zong Shen stopped and looked at them sideways.

"Please give the advanced book to my younger sister..."

The two sisters said almost in unison, and the tacit understanding of their blood relationship was fully revealed at this moment.

Zong Shen spread his hands helplessly. Such a scene of deep sisterly love was a source of embarrassment for him.

"I said, this time it's up to you."

"We have been making progress and growing, and I believe it won't be long before we get another advancement book."

Zong Shen comforted him softly, and then left firmly. He walked to the long table, and Mariel had already started to bring him breakfast that had been kept warm on the stove.

No matter what choice the two sisters make, Zong Shen can accept it without any psychological burden. The most important thing is that he will not feel guilty, and the two sisters will not be dissatisfied because of his distribution problem.

He sat on the front seat and leaned against it comfortably.

The flames in the fireplace were burning brightly, and the outer shell of ice insulated the cold, so most of the heat was retained in the lord's building.

Just because it is relatively closed, the air in the small building is a bit turbid at this time.

Seeing Mariel busy in and out of the kitchen like a caring little cook, Zong Shen took advantage of her and took her arm after she put down the utensils.

"Mariel, these are the complete drawings I got from the Winter Treasure Box yesterday."

"I'll leave it all to you for safekeeping."

"There are also some new buildings in the [Buildings] list, which require you to spend more time."

"When the winter is over, build everything that needs to be built."

Zong Shen took a handful of architectural drawings and stuffed them into Mariel's arms.

Most of these complete buildings are rare-level buildings that can quickly play a role in related fields.

Mariel nodded obediently and put all these complete drawings into her storage compartment.

After all the breakfast was served on the table, she bowed and left. She found an empty seat in the living room and began to carefully review every architectural drawing.

She needs to know the types and specific effects of these drawings before she can have an idea of ​​them.

As for Zong Shen, he was eating breakfast by himself, as if he was separated from the living room.

When he was halfway through eating, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

A blue-gray light shone beside him, and a rickety figure appeared.

"grown ups…"

A sound like a crow's crow sounded.

It is the mid-level space mage Reese Ulysses who just joined last night.

Looking at the time composed of golden characters in front of him, Zong Shen felt that this guy was really rigid and punctual.

It's exactly eight o'clock in the morning as promised last night, exactly right.

Zong Shen's watch had been damaged in previous battles, and now he kept it in his bedroom as a collection.

The Lord system will send a time reminder on 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, and 4 every day, and there is no clear time indication at other times.

There is a time difference in this world, about three or four hours, but the lord system does not care about these situations. It adopts a unified time standard for all lords.

12 o'clock at noon every day is an obvious node. At this time, lords in different areas should be able to experience different differences.

Zong Shen turned to look at Reese Ulysses, and pointed to the empty seat beside him with a smile.

The breakfast on the table was so rich that Zong Shen couldn't enjoy it alone. She only needed to prepare another set of tableware for her.

"Mariel, go get another set of tableware."

"Let's have breakfast first."

Zong Shen first gave instructions to Mariel, and then to Reese Ulysses.

The space mage who looked like an old woman grinned, and most of her teeth fell out.

The remaining rotten teeth also looked crooked.

Holding her long staff in hand, she sat tremblingly on the empty seat next to Zong Shen.

"I'd like to take the liberty of asking you how old you are."

Zong Shen skewered a sausage with his fork and chewed it in his mouth.

Perhaps due to repeated cooking and heating, this sausage tasted far less amazing than the one I had the night before.

He naturally looked at Reese Ulysses and raised his doubts.

"hehe…"

"Cough cough cough."

"My lord, you don't have to be so polite."

"Since I swear allegiance to you, you have rights over me."

"As for my age, it's not something unspeakable..."

"If you go by pre-lockdown standards, I'm 32 years old."

"It's a pity that my body died once."

"That's why it withered into what it is now."

Reese Ulysses said nonchalantly, the expression on her face was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

"oh?"

"Dead once?"

When Zong Shen heard what she said, the fire of curiosity in his heart suddenly began to burn brightly.

I saw Reese Ulysses raising her head and looking at Zong Shen with her deep light blue eyes.

"I once tried to integrate my body into the space. This is a method recorded in ancient books."

"If successful, the form can be changed into a semi-void form, which has strong space integration."

"After entering this form, it is almost equivalent to eternal life, comparable to those immortal species, and the shackles of the physical body will no longer exist..."

When Zong Shen heard this, he looked at her thoughtfully and interrupted her.

"Obviously, you failed."

"I'm really curious about the era ten thousand years ago. You guys were really a bunch of lunatics."

There was emotion in his tone. Many of these dimensional warriors banned in the recruitment rolls were weirdos and freaks of the past.

Their experiences all tell the same thing, which is the disorder and chaos of that year.

In fact, only chaotic situations can burst out these crazy flames. The aborigines like now are just a pool of stagnant water.

Order maintains stability, but it also stifles progress to a certain extent.

"Sorry, Reese, you can continue."

After Zong Shen sighed a few words, he stretched out his palm towards her and made a "please" gesture, indicating for her to continue speaking.

"Yes, I failed."

"My body was imprisoned in space, almost integrated with the barriers inside the plane. At the same time, I began to lose control of my body and was unable to move."

"Space and time are interdependent, although Mr. Allen, the great Bachelor of General Studies, once questioned that "time" does not exist."

"But the Grand Magister of Time has indeed seen the long river of time. Time and space are not so much magical elements as they are a strange sense of induction."

"And the changes and impacts brought about by time are also profound."

"When my body was trapped in the internal barrier, the flow of time was distorted. By the time I escaped, my body had already passed eighty or ninety years and began to become weak and decayed."

Rhys Ulysses' tone was still calm, and the accident that occurred in pursuit of power was a very merciful price.

At least she is still alive, and has survived to this day through the ban.

"Hehehe..."

"But don't worry, as a fourth-level mage, my lifespan is far from over."

"If I can't break through in my lifetime, I can probably live for another twenty or thirty years."

She said very freely, but her old voice lacked the vitality it deserved.

Zong Shen just nodded and said nothing. Reese Ulysses had already talked about it, and what he said was meaningless.

The two of them were not familiar with each other, so Zong Shen would not make any promises here.

His care for his subordinates depends on his attitude and contribution. Now that the fundamentals of the territory have been formed, he will no longer go out of his way to please the new warriors.

Everything must be done according to the rules. You must be able to contribute to the territory and show a loyal and diligent attitude, so that you will receive subsequent resource tilt.

Mariel quickly brought a set of clean tableware from the kitchen and placed it in front of Reese.

As a heroic figure and the territory's logistics officer, Reese had to call her "sir" based on her status. However, with Zong Shen's instructions, Mariel was willing to be a little cook.

Reese was not polite either. She leaned her long stick against the long table, holding the dinner plate with one hand and putting food in it with a fork with the other.

He started to eat happily. Although it seemed a bit rude, Zong Shen admired this style very much.

About ten minutes later, Reese Ulysses finished the food on the plate and wiped the corners of her mouth with her blue-gray sleeves.

Both her image and the style she displayed were very slovenly.

After finishing his meal, Zong Shen stood up. Said to her.

"Let's go, take me out and have a look."

"By the way, before that, you need to put on a set of warm clothes. The weather outside is very cold and your body will not be able to bear it."

Zong Shen took out a spare piece of warm clothing from the storage compartment and handed it to her.

Rhys Ulysses said nothing, and put the warm clothes on her ricket body with trembling hands, looking a little perfunctory.

"Then please use your flash skills to take me out now."

"With your ability, you should be able to do it."

Zong Shen casually ordered that with an intermediate space mage by his side, there would be no need to leave the lord's small building by jumping off the building.

Upon hearing this, Reese Ulysses stretched out her hand like a dead branch.

"Sir, please hold my hand."

Zong Shen chose to comply without hesitation.

She closed her eyes, as if she was sensing something. After two or three seconds, she activated the primary flash skill.

Zong Shen was keenly aware that an inexplicable pulling force instantly swallowed him up. His eyes seemed to be in confusion as if he were just watching a horse. The next moment, the surrounding scene suddenly changed and became much brighter than the room.

Waves of cold air began to arrive, and the temperature changed significantly.

He took a closer look and saw that he and Reese had appeared outside the lord's courtyard.

This is a very efficient way to move around.

Compared with the previous day, the ice on the ground was thicker, and the tall bluestone wall of the small courtyard became much shorter under this condition.

Looking back, the lord's small building has become a crystal palace, covered with pure and flawless ice.

This is all due to super cold water and icy rain, which fell for two full hours last night.

It still takes some effort to leave the Lord's building from an ice shell of this thickness.

He took out a heat ball, activated it and threw it to Reese, asking her to stuff it into the pocket of her sheepskin jacket.

Today's weather is okay, nothing too extreme except for the low temperature.

The temperature is still dropping sharply and will continue until 10 a.m., when the temperature will reach minus 70°C.

A temperature change of twenty degrees Celsius within a few hours is enough to be called "dramatic".

At least so far, Zong Shen has been able to adapt. Compared to the wind and snow, the low temperature seems more kind.

He planned to take this opportunity to take Reese to the nearest small iceberg.

Reese's [Basic Flash] can carry out short-distance continuous movement.

The maximum distance is five kilometers, which requires 100 magic points. When carrying one person, this cost will be doubled.

But for Zong Shen, the consumption problem is nothing.
