Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Favid helped Isidor to the table.

Without saying a word, Isido picked up the knife and fork and ate the steaming [Barbeque Feast].

The food rewarded by this system has a three-day best consumption period, just think of it as Isido's "dead meal"!

Isido didn't mind this at all. He also knew that this was his last meal, so he ate it very deliciously.

Life and death have long been forgotten by him, and death is just an eternal sleep for him.

Zong Shen did not urge him but stood quietly.

About ten minutes later, Isido drank the last sip of wine.

He picked up the napkin and wiped the grease stains from the corners of his mouth. At this moment, he seemed to be the butler next to Evans again.

With Favid's help, he turned around to face Zong Shen.

At this time, someone from Zong had already taken out the [Talent Absorption Box (Purple)], which was of a rare level that could absorb the rare talents of Isido.

After finishing his last meal, Isido's expression changed, and a dignified smile appeared on his face.

In a daze, he became the key again and recalled the time when he served Evans.

His eyes lost focus and fell into memories, still mumbling to himself.

"Are you stunned?"

Zong Shen frowned slightly and activated [Talent Absorption].

The [Talent Absorption Box (Purple)] in his hand slowly opened, projecting purple chains that sank into Isido's chest, and soon pulled out a light blue ball of light.

This thing is the external form of Isido's rare space talent.

This ball of light was directly put into the [Talent Absorption Box (Purple)].

After losing his talent for space magic, Isido's face couldn't help but turn pale.

Magical talent has little effect on the body, but it can lead to the decline of the soul.

Seeing Isido turning his head in confusion, Zong Shen decided to follow his wish and end his life completely.

Isido has clearly expressed his desire to die. Even if he is merciful and leaves him alive, it will be useless. Instead, he will continue to suffer.

He raised his hand and took out the [Meinbreaker's Dagger (Purple)], which was also taken out of the box.

Walking slowly in front of Isidor, Zong Shen pressed his head on his shoulder with one hand, grabbed a dagger with the other hand and stabbed Isido's left chest directly at the heart.

"puff…"

There was the sound of the blade entering flesh.

Isidor stopped murmuring, his body trembled, and with the high damage value appearing, his life ended instantly, leaving no pain.

Zong Shen slowly pulled out the dagger and breathed a sigh of relief.

Unknowingly, he already possesses the temperament and mentality of a hero, and can complete the "execution" simply and neatly.

Isido, who is an unarmored unit and has a physique similar to that of Master, Zong Shen can kill with one hit.

Not leaving him the last pain is the greatest mercy.

For Isidore, who wanted nothing more than to die, this was a relief.

Because Zong Shen drew the dagger slowly, the last blood pumped by the heart did not splash, but flowed out along the blade, staining Isido's clothes.

Zong Shen put his body down and was about to let Favid take it for cremation when a sudden change occurred!

The surrounding scene suddenly became distorted, and in the blink of an eye it turned into Evans' manor.

He, the bodies of Farvid and Evans were all in the open space next to the hall in the manor.

On the chair in the hall, Evans was talking to Isidor.

There are vague shadows behind him that seem to be holding dinner plates.

It seems that this scene is right before Evans invited Zong Shen to the banquet.

Just when Zong Shen was about to try to dispel the scene in front of him, Evans called out to Isido with a complicated expression.

"Isidore, do you regret following me all these years?"

"Originally, with your qualifications, you could have been invited to enter the Mage Tower in the giant city of Lentax."

"Not to mention that what you have learned is a rare talent for space magic."

Evans said with a sigh, his eyes looking at Evans were full of regret.

On the contrary, Isido remained calm. He put one hand on his chest and bowed.

"If it weren't for you, my lord, I would have died twenty years ago."

"As the last survivor of the Night Stalker attack on Piroa Village."

"My life will be yours."

In a calm tone, Isidor spoke of the most unpretentious allegiance.

Zong Shen and Favid looked at each other, there seemed to be a big story in this!

This scene should have happened before the banquet, but Zong Shen had never seen it.

Now after Isido's death, the scene has reappeared.

"Is there any hidden mission?"

Zong Shen thought about this and found that the surroundings were just simple scene reproductions without any interactive feedback.

The conversation between Evans and Isidor in the scene becomes quieter and quieter, and the scene becomes increasingly blurry, as if the resolution is gradually decreasing.

After just ten seconds, the scene completely disappeared.

A white translucent soul floated out of Isido's body.

This soul is wearing a butler's uniform. It seems that this is Isido's true impression of himself in his heart.

It floated slowly towards Zong Shen, muttering in its mouth.

“Piroia Village…”

"Night Demon..."

Just when Zong Shen was about to ask further questions, lines of task prompts appeared in his sight.

[The soul of foolish loyalty, Isido, sends you a mission invitation]

【Accept】【Reject】

Looking at the mission prompt that appeared in front of him, Zong Shen secretly said, "Sure enough."

The reappearance of the scene after Isido's death means that something strange happened to him, and there may be a mission in it.

Zong Shen did not hesitate and chose [Accept].

After he confirmed [Accepting] the mission, Isidor's soul stopped talking nonsense.

"You killed Lord Evans and you killed me, but I don't resent you."

"From the moment I ordered the kidnapping of the first girl for Lord Evans and saw her mutilated body the next day, I understood that this was a road of no return."

"Not even death can wash away this sin."

"I can't choose between sin and loyalty."

"So after Lord Evans died and lost his loyal support, I was left with only sin. I no longer care about life."

There was a look of relief on Isido's face.

"So, how do you want me to help you?"

Zong Shen took the opportunity to ask.

At this time, Isido floated around him twice.

"When I was a teenager, twenty years ago, something strange happened in my village."

"At that time, the twelfth well was being drilled in the village, and it was that well that brought the disaster."

"When the excavation reaches a depth of ten meters, you can already see wet soil."

"Based on previous experience in opening wells, water should be flowing out soon."

"But in the end, the water didn't appear. What emerged from the well were the remnant souls of the Shadowfallen Demons and a small number of Night Demons."

"The ghost of the Shadowfallen Devil attached itself to a villager and went on a killing spree with the Night Devil."

"Those night demons had sharp canines and bat-like black wings, and their sharp claws could easily tear apart the human body. In this way, those night demons slaughtered the entire village. Just when I was about to be killed, young Mr. Evans led The caravan has arrived."

"Although his caravan guards are not as strong as the Night Demon, they can still resist to some extent."

"That's when I was rescued by Mr. Evans."

"Although he escaped, Mr. Evans was possessed by the remnant soul of the Shadow-Fallen Demon..."

Isido told what happened in Piroya Village.

"I know you also have the power of the devil in you, and you can completely overpower him."

"As your last wish, I hope you can go to the ruins of Piroya Village and explore the magic well."

"According to our analysis, below the village of Piroya is the camp of the Shadowfell Demon more than 10,000 years ago."

Speaking of which, the task prompts in front of Zong Shen were also updated.

[Mission: Clear the ruins of Piroya Village]

[Requirement: Go to Piroya Village, completely clear the ruins of the village, and use the magic well as a clue to excavate the ruins of the Shadowfell Demon]

[Rewards: [Isidor Space Blessing], Harvest from Relics]

Zong Shen glanced at the follow-up prompts of the mission and suddenly knew what was going on.

"I will take the time to go to Piroya Village and clear it out."

"You have also lived in the territory for a while, so you should understand our strength."

Isidor's soul nodded at his promise.

"Please burn my body, spread the ashes to the earth, and let the wind take me farther."

"I will give you my blessing when you clear the ruins of Piroa Village."

After saying that, Isido's soul became fainter and eventually disappeared.

"Good guy, after killing Isido in an execution style, I actually got a mission."

Zong Shen shook his head, feeling something was strange.

However, the mission of [clearing the ruins of Piroya Village] does appear in [Missions].

It seems that this is a mission recognized by the lord system. As long as Isido is killed, his memories and obsessions can be understood, and thus he can receive this mission.

It will not change due to Isido's personal emotions, likes and dislikes.

When he solved Evans and obtained [Acid-Etched Shadowfall Dagger (Orange)], he got some information about Piroa Village from the strategy module.

Speaking of which, the remnant soul of the culprit, the Shadowfallen Demon, eventually became Zong Shen's source of strength from the Demon's Heart, successfully making his [Demon State] a step further.

"Favid, dispose of the body."

"Just follow his wishes, incinerate and scatter the ashes."

Zong Shen confessed that a pool of blood was left on the ground and someone needed to deal with it.

Farvid nodded and bent down to pick up the body.

Even though he is just a magician, his power attributes are much greater than those of ordinary farmers.

After Favid left, Zong Shen was in no mood. He casually used the [Communication Crystal] to contact the third fat man and asked someone to come here early to deal with the blood stains. Then he specifically asked the location of Salome Linyu, the senior gardener in the territory. , that guy created several experimental fields in the small courtyard of the Lord's Fortress.

Not only that, he was often busy in the [Gardening Workshop], and Zong Shen rarely saw him.

After learning that he was in the [Gardening Workshop], Zong Shen activated [Wandering Walk] and went straight there after some sensing.

The so-called [Gardening Workshop] is like a greenhouse with a yard, and a bit like a flower cultivation center on earth. There are a large number of crop configuration samples and a small number of plant samples of flowers and small trees placed on the ground.

Unexpectedly, when Zong Shen came to the [Gardening Workshop], Vereesa, Luna, and Night Prayer Sophie were also there.

They placed both [Ancient Tree Seed of War (Gold)] and [Ancient Tree Seed of Sanctuary (Orange)] on the workbench in front of senior gardener Salome Linyu.

It seems that they are discussing how to cultivate and plant them.

The cultivation period of these two ancient trees is not short, and they cannot keep up with the defensive challenges.

Now we can only finalize the cultivation plan first. After all, Zong Shen's territory has no moonsingers and no elves.

After Zong Shen appeared, everyone quickly noticed it and turned around to salute.

Even the Night Prayer Sophie, who had not yet joined the territory, nodded gently.

"grown ups…"

Salome Linyu said hello, and he seemed surprised that Zong Shen was back.

No one knew how Zong Shen mastered the [Flash] ability, but they had long been used to it.

Even if they were told that Zong Shen had mastered the ultra-level forbidden spell that could destroy the world, they would not doubt it.

Zong Shen took out the [Emerald Staff of Vitality (Orange)] with his backhand, handed it directly to Salome Lin Yu, and thoughtfully told him the characteristics and capabilities of this piece of equipment.

After finishing the work, Zong Shen encouraged him a few words, told everyone to go to bed early tonight, and then left here using [Wandering Stroll].

All the equipment that should be rewarded was given out, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It was already dark outside, but Mariel and other logistics heroes were still busy on the front line.

Zong Shen flashed directly into the small courtyard of the lord's fortress, while Xiao Heizi was still lying on the open ground and dozing off.

He looks like a watchdog, fighting when something happens and sleeping when nothing happens...

The majestic five-color black dragon, one of the top creatures in the Endless Continent, is so unworthy.

Without saying a word, Mr. Zong climbed onto its back, sat firmly on the [Dragon Control Saddle (Orange)], and patted its back.

"Wake up, little Heizi."

"Get up and get to work."

As a young black dragon, Xiao Heizi needs a lot of time to sleep soundly to ensure physical development.

But it is no longer a free and wild black dragon.

Considering Zong Shen's fierce power, although it was reluctant, it still opened its eyes leisurely.

The black wings behind him suddenly opened up, flapping their wings and soared into the sky.

Under Zong Shen's command, it flew towards the outer perimeter of the territory's defense circle, circling at a constant speed.

Zong Shen, riding on the back of a dragon, can observe the territory from a more comprehensive bird's eye view.

I saw [Magic Charging Towers (Purple)] standing up one after another.

The magic charging network is initially taking shape.

Territory casters will have a longer cast cycle.

Little black ones passed by low in the sky.

Its lower abdomen accurately brushed the top of the tower, leaving a large black shadow, which attracted the attention of the farmers below!
