Chapter 1165: New Day

The next morning.

Zong Shen and Xiao Heizi spent the night in the castle.

Earl Leith returned to the manor safely with clones No. 1 and No. 2.

The destruction of the center of the castle's magic circle last night was not investigated in detail.

Because Marquis Henry couldn't find the energy to solve this matter at all.

Even though Ashley Boya provided him with the broken stand-in doll, he still didn't pay attention to it.

Marquis Henry's only request for the center of the magic circle is to repair it as soon as possible at any cost.

Otherwise, the Marquis Castle will be in an almost undefended state until the restoration is completed.

The current temporary alternative measure is to install a lower-level magic energy shield array disk with worse protective effect.

As long as the number is large enough, it can barely make up for the reduced defense capability of the core area due to the lack of shields.

The [Magic Shield Array] that Zong Shen found in the abandoned dragon's nest on the island in the middle of the lake was something similar.

Apart from these minor hiccups, the castle on New Day looks much the same as before.

Marquis Henry seemed to have forgotten what happened last night and went to the city hall for a meeting early in the morning.

All teleportation nodes in the giant city were reopened last night.

Everything seemed to be back on track.

It’s just that time is always honest, and there is only one day left before the competitive meeting.

Zong Shen woke up from the soft and comfortable big bed and restarted the [Quantum Furnace Core (Middle Demigod Level)]. Surging energy suddenly filled his body, making him escape from his sleepy state in an instant.

He had a good sleep last night, and the bed in the guest room of the Marquis Castle was so comfortable.

He turned around and stared, and found that the bed under him also had attributes.

[Exquisite luxury bed (blue)]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: Sleeping (increases sleep quality by 30%, reduces the time to fall asleep by 15%, and improves the energy recovery efficiency brought by sleep)]

(The luxurious bed embedded with third-level calming runes can provide better sleep quality and accelerate the recovery of energy value)

…

There is still something good about the Marquis Castle.

Even the large bed in the guest room is a blue excellent-grade item, blessed by rune technology.

In comparison, the beds that come with the lord's small building are nothing.

In comparison, it can be said to be a judgment call.

Although Zong Shen's territory developed rapidly, it seemed that the details had not kept up with the nouveau riche. In terms of the standard of enjoyment, it was incomparable with the aboriginal nobles.

After sighing in his heart for a while at the Marquis's luxury, Zong Shen sat leisurely on the bed.

Regardless of whether Prince Carter and Marquis Henry could sleep, someone from his clan slept soundly anyway.

Moreover, by controlling clones No. 1 and 2 while distracted, he can also communicate with the women in the manor in real time.

Today is the deadline for registration for the competitive competition. Zong Shen asked Count Lais to take two clones to register.

His true form continued to be disguised as Ole Sorensen and stayed with the prince, waiting for the best opportunity to take action.

When he woke up, Xiao Heizi had long disappeared.

It didn't sleep at all last night.

The energetic black dragon can go without sleep for 180 days without a fierce battle.

This is because true dragons have already had enough sleep during their development period.

The sleep cycle, which can last for several years, will continue until they enter the old dragon stage.

Unless he is about to undergo transformation and promotion, Xiao Heizi usually does not rely on sleep.

And unlike Zong Shen, it still retained its feelings for sleep, so it was almost not in the room that night, wandering around somewhere.

Zong Shen didn't care about this. Anyway, the castle's magic circle was damaged and all the original monitoring methods were out of action.

As long as Little Heizi doesn't run to the floor where Marquis Henry's dormitory is located.

As for Prince Carter, who was in the next room, he didn't call them all night.

Last night passed quite peacefully, without any incident.

After getting up and washing up, Zong Shen tidied up his appearance again.

Opening the curtains, warm sunlight immediately shone in through the window.

In the garden next to the castle, gardeners are busy among the flowers and trees.

They were either holding pruners or water bottles, and carefully maintained the flowers and plants.

The muscular maid carries wooden buckets and mops and goes between the inside and outside of the castle.

Looking from the window, Zong Shen saw the outline of the city.

Especially the towering towers on the first circle are extremely eye-catching.

In his eyes, it was like a blue-grey thread, suddenly cutting off the outside world.

The entire giant city is like an irregularly shaped egg.

Each circle has a solid layer of eggshell and a different substance.

Living in such a city, you will naturally feel a sense of security.

After standing silently by the bed and looking at the scenery for a while, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Then someone unlocked the door.

Zong Shen knew who was back without looking back.

Beside the door, I saw Xiao Heizi looking around like a thief.

It still looks like Bridger Sorenson, with disheveled clothes and lip marks on its cheeks.

This made Zong Shen look strange, but this boy was very knowledgeable and lived in the castle for even one night.

It seems that they should go to care for those lonely and unbearable maids.

Those maids live in the castle all year round and don't see many suitable men of the opposite sex.

Even old gardeners are not spared, let alone a prime man like Xiao Heizi.

The giant dragon is physically strong, and Zong Shen reckons that this kid did a lot of damage to the maid last night.

I didn't bother to ask for details. At least this guy was sensible and didn't forget serious matters.

And it also got Zong Shen's consent before going out.

Anyway, the magic circle in the castle was disabled, and it was almost impossible for the high-level guards to discover Xiao Heizi when they deliberately concealed their traces.

"Owner…"

"Hey hey hey."

Xiao Heizi closed the door and smiled naively at Zong Shen.

Zong, who was looking at the scenery, turned around and rolled his eyes at him.

Although the risk is not high, Zong Shen still admires this guy for still being interested in playing maid.

In terms of big heart, you have to look at Xiao Heizi.

"Clean up and wash up."

"According to the rhythm I checked, the prince is about to get up for dinner."

The strategy module gives Zong Shen an unparalleled information advantage.

As long as he asks questions cleverly and diligently enough, let alone the prince's daily routine, it is not difficult to ask the guide to reveal all the prince's experiences from childhood to adulthood in detail.

When Xiao Heizi heard his master's greeting, he nodded guiltily and quickly started washing up.

It knows that this is the owner's indulgence and care for it, and does not specifically restrain it.

After he finished washing, he remembered the knock on the door.

"Ole! Bridger!"

"His Royal Highness is awake."

"Please come with me to accompany His Highness to dine."

Kaji Mizite's voice sounded outside the door.

Zong Shen and Xiao Heizi answered immediately and then walked out of the room together.

Following Kaji Mizite, he entered the prince's bedroom.

At this time, the bathroom in the house was steaming.

The prince was dressed by several personal maids.

He seemed to be in good spirits and had recovered from last night's confusion.

After getting dressed, Zong Shen saw him pinch the maid's buttocks.

Then he sat at the table with a smile.

I have to say that the brainwashing effect of [Rose Mark] is too powerful.

Not only can it resist at least six levels of dispersion, but it can also continuously confuse the mind.

If it weren't for the fact that this thing can only be planted on people who have feelings for Miss Penny, its effectiveness might not be much inferior to the lord's loyalty system.

Zong Shen, who had witnessed the whole process, had already seen the power of [Rose Mark].

If Penny is given enough time, she can slowly control the whole city with just one hand!

"How did you two sleep last night?"

The prince, who had regained his grace, asked with a smile.

Zong Shen and Xiao Heizi nodded in unison.

"We slept well."

"I wonder what the prince's schedule is today?"

"Sit down first and let's eat together."

The prince twisted his neck and motioned for them and Kaji Mizite to take their seats first.

Not long after, maids came into the house carrying plates of carefully cooked breakfast.

Zong Shen took a look and found that all these breakfasts were of different levels.

Basically, they are of green or blue quality. After use, they can not only replenish hunger and satiety, but also gain attribute gains that last for a certain period of time.

Ordinary people cannot cook this kind of food.

Only those who have mastered cooking skills and have chef skills can make it.

Back in Dinan Village, Tie Zhu discovered a mid-level chef.

Later, when Zong Shen conquered Dinan Village, he also took the lead in taking over the territory.

Chef is actually a technical profession with a lot of room for expansion.

It is said that a chef at the Grand Master level can cook delicious dishes that permanently increase attributes.

It's just that all the required materials are extremely precious, and it's not easy to collect them all at once.

But in theory, if there is a grand master-level chef in the territory, even the buffing effect brought by food can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the entire people.

It wasn't until breakfast was finished that the prince looked up at him and Xiao Heizi.

"Let's go, today I want to go horse riding at the racecourse."

"Ole, Kaji, go and invite Miss Penny for me."

"Jebry is staying with me, just in time to tell me the story of the gladiatorial arena."

Prince Carter named Zong Shen and Kaji Mizite and asked them to invite Miss Penny.

He chose to let Little Heizi stay with him, and asked him to tell the story of the gladiatorial battle.

The little Heizi sitting there suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Before he disguised himself yesterday, he told a lot of things about Jebri, mainly about his living habits, acting style, etc.

He didn’t pay much attention to the gladiatorial deeds.

Now I can only make up nonsense with a blind eye.

Zong Shen gave Xiao Heizi a look of persistence before standing up and preparing to follow Kaji Mizite out of the room.

At this time, Prince Carter turned around and suddenly emphasized.

"Remember, don't forget gentlemanly etiquette."

…

There were several Avalon sixth-order Dragon Roar swordsmen waiting in the corridor outside Miss Penny's room.

Facing the sudden visit of Kaji Mizite and Zong Shen, these swordsmen did not stop them.

Just watching their every move with cold eyes.

Arriving at the door, Kaji Mizite stretched out his hand and knocked gently.

"Miss Penny, are you up?"

His expression was meticulous and his tone was kept in the calmest state.

Soon, a response came from inside the house.

"Come in, I'm reading a book of poetry."

The room door opens from the inside.

The person who opened the door was the legendary ranger who accompanied Penny.

It seemed that she and Penny were living together during this time, because she was barefoot when the door opened.

Ignoring the guy's vigilant gaze, Kaji Mizite led Zong Shen into the house.

As soon as he stepped through the threshold, Zong Shen couldn't help but frown.

There is a faint floral fragrance floating in the air.

This aroma brought a strange reminder to his mind.

[You smell the fragrance of blood roses]

[Your energy is reduced by 0.1%]

[Fatigue degree increased by 0.1%]

[The probability of distraction increases by 0.1%]

…

[Affected by the core of the furnace, your energy has been restored]

【...Your fatigue has been eliminated】

[Toughness and mental resistance come into play, distraction exemption]

…

This is also one of the privileges of a lord.

A prompt that only appears when under attack.

In other words, this vaguely wafting aroma is a kind of control effect.

had a negative impact on him.

However, with the blessing of various BUFFs, the effect of floral fragrance was basically ignored by Zong Shen.

Kaji Mizzit and the legendary ranger who were walking in front seemed completely unaware.

His bright eyes were slowly losing their luster.

It can be seen that this floral fragrance should be a hidden negative BUFF.

"His Royal Highness the Prince invites the young lady to ride a horse with him."

"I wonder if Miss Penny is free?"

Kaji Mizite bowed slightly and asked softly.

Penny Lancaster, sitting at the table, was wearing a pink dress today.

Holding a book of poems that was not too thick, he shook his head.

"Sorry, Mr. Kaji!"

"I don't feel well today and don't want to go out."

"Please report back to His Highness and express my apology to him."

Today Penny chose to refuse.

Kaji Mizite didn’t say much.

He had already noticed that something was wrong with the prince, but under the influence of the blood contract, he could not disobey the prince's wishes. Now he only had to spread the word to the best.

After nodding lightly, he stood up straight.

Just as he was about to leave, Miss Penny suddenly spoke.

"Is that Mr. Ole Sorenson with you?"

Kaji Mizite nodded and made an introduction gesture.

"Yes, this is Ole Sorensen, the gladiator king from the giant city of Dabos!"

"The statues of him and his brother Jebril are still erected outside the arena to this day."

After he finished the introduction, Zong Shen quickly stepped forward and performed a chest caressing ceremony.

Originally thinking it was just a simple greeting, Penny didn't expect that Penny directly extended her hand.

This is a sign that he can kiss the hand.

There was no other way, so Zong Shen had no choice but to bend down, take her hand, and kiss her politely.

This scene also surprised Kaji Mizite.

This kind of etiquette is not commonly used, and it means that Penny has something to talk about.

Sure enough, after the salute was over, Penny's voice sounded again.

…
