Chapter 387: Scolding the traitor Cao, Mariel’s report
Zong Shen shook his head and thought wildly.
As a lord, he has unique harem conditions.
But in fact, so far he has only accepted Luna.
Zong Shen has too many things to deal with every day.
Even though the territory's basic base has now grown larger, its manpower is becoming more and more abundant.
But Zong Shen still couldn't completely let go and become a happy and happy lord.
He has a very clear understanding of himself and his goals.
This will be a process that is bitter first and then sweet.
He still needs to continue to struggle, at least until the territory grows to the state level.
Only then can Zong Shen slow down his pace a little like Baron Bezos or Mr. Mars.
At present, Zong Shen clearly knows that there are several female subjects who are interested in him.
For example, the Ranger sisters, Tasia, and Aysia.
These early team members who followed him witnessed the gradual growth of the territory.
Accompanying Zong Shen through various battles, large and small.
And I also had a bold and erotic experience like bathing together in a hot spring.
This makes their feelings very obvious.
And those like Vereesa, Doris, Mariel, and Milani are a little behind.
Especially Vereesa, she had a relationship experience before she was banned.
After being recruited by Zong Shen through the Purple Nature Altar.
She even has a special piece of equipment called Luo Ning's Lucky Charm White.
He is also a legendary hero.
In order to resist the invasion of the blood-burning demon, he died in the explosion of the arcane crystal.
These are the information Zong Shen obtained when he checked Vereesa's background a long time ago.
Therefore, Vereesa's feelings for Zong Shen are very complicated.
Under the influence of Loyalty Max, she easily developed a liking for Zong Shen while getting along with him.
However, there was always a hurdle in Vereesa's heart, which made her unconsciously want to alienate Zong Shen.
Let the relationship between the two be kept within a relatively safe boundary.
Zong Shen's attitude towards this has always been very Buddhist.
I have to say that Vereesa does have a mature charm about her.
She has a plump figure and a beauty that is completely different from that of a girl.
This made Zong Shen often scold himself as a Cao thief.
Fortunately, the relationship between the two has been in a very harmonious state so far.
At least Zong Shen wouldn't think of other women when he held Luna in his arms.
Pouting his lips, Zong Shen stepped onto the last step of the second floor.
Get these messy thoughts out of your head.
He walked along the corridor on the second floor to the door of Mariel's room.
He stretched out two knuckles and knocked lightly on the door.
"Dong dong"
Soon, footsteps were heard from the other side of the door.
"Who is it?"
Mariel was like an alert rabbit and did not open the door immediately.
"it's me."
"crunch"
Zong Shen said simply, and the next moment the door was opened.
Mariel's eyes were wide open, and the joy of missing her was almost beyond words.
"Ah! Sir, you are back!"
"You must be working hard on the continuous journey, right?"
"Do you want me to prepare food for you?"
She said thoughtfully, and Zong Shen could feel her mood.
"No, please put your clothes on first."
"I brought back a batch of supplies from Bosbon and I need you to count them."
Zong Shen said with a smile, Mariel in front of him was still wearing thin pajamas.
As she walked, the two little white rabbits in front of her swayed.
Speaking of which, let’s rank the little white rabbit dimensions in the territory.
This Mariel can definitely be one of the best.
Only the wife Vereesa can compete with her.
You must know that the age difference between the two is almost a thousand times.
This proves that talent really matters in some aspects.
Although Vereesa's age is mostly leftover from the stagnant years after the ban.
In fact, even if the elves belong to the long-lived immortal species, they will not live to be more than 10,000 years old.
Hearing Zong Shen's words, Mariel nodded vigorously.
He returned to the room, just before the door was about to close.
Zong Shen added smoothly.
"Wear more clothes, it's starting to cool down outside."
"The nine fur coats I obtained from the goblin merchants will be divided among Howie and the others later."
"These fur coats are warmer than sheepskin coats."
His words ended as the door closed.
"I understand, sir."
"Please wait a moment!"
…
Ten minutes later, she and Mariel had arrived outside the lord's courtyard.
Mariel was covered with a thick fur coat.
The Immortal Lancers all went to rest first.
Howie, Veresa, Luna, and Felix's mother and son were waiting outside.
Felix and his son, wrapped in sheepskin coats, looked at the lord's small building with curious eyes.
"Howie, take Felix and the others to the living area and find a vacant house to settle down first."
"Come back after Felix is settled and help Mariel sort out the supplies."
"Luna and Vereesa, you should also go and rest. It's been a hard journey."
"I'll go to the storage box later and pick up a fur coat."
Zong Shen waved his hand and arranged for them to go out first.
Bajie has also been taken out of the city and placed in a spacious second-level stable.
There were only two people left outside the small courtyard, Mariel and Zong Shen.
In the inner city, because of the simple city wall, the cold wind here is smaller than outside.
Zong Shen first came to the open space and piled up the sealed wooden barrels of military rations, various luggage boxes, cold-proof supplies, fur materials, coats, and food into categories.
This batch of supplies is the last batch of cold-warming supplies in the territory before the winter challenge.
"Mariel, all this batch of supplies needs to be put into storage."
"Put it in the storage box when it's time to put it in the storage box."
"Put the things that should go into the cold storage into the cold storage."
"All fur raw materials below the fine level are sent to Alanna."
"Let her work hard these days to make fur coats."
"Howie will assist you."
"After finishing, you can rest."
Zong Shen pointed at the supplies and said quickly.
As the logistics officer of the territory, Mariel needs to do these things.
And this is also a kind of exercise for her ability.
Mariel on the side was wrapped in a coat and bowed to salute.
Despite her young age, Mariel has a strong ambition in her heart.
The temperature at night has dropped to five or six degrees above zero.
Coupled with the howling cold wind, the body temperature has further dropped a lot.
Mariel's body was not strong, and she could still feel a little cold even though she was wrapped in a coat.
She didn't complain at all, and she always carried out Zong Shen's orders unconditionally.
Zong Shen also noticed her behavior.
Sometimes, attitude far trumps talent.
"Then thank you for your hard work."
"Wait for me in the lobby of the lord's building at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."
Zong Shen said meticulously.
At such moments, he needed to maintain some of the majesty of a lord.
Caring is caring, training is training, these are two different things.
"Okay sir."
"I will wait for you in the lobby on time at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."
"In addition, I still have a few things to report to you."
Mariel nodded slightly and asked for instructions in a soft voice.
Zong Shen turned around and looked at her calmly without speaking.
Waiting for her next step.
Seeing this, Mariel began to speak slowly.
"The first batch of ore was successfully transported back to the mine this morning."
"Mainly iron ore, a total of 3,173 copies."
"Followed by copper ore and mithril, with 338 and 112 shares respectively."
“As for other high-energy associated minerals, there are not many in quantity, so they are stored in mines for the time being.”
Mariel reported truthfully.
After Zong Shen and the others took the dogheads to the mine and resettled them.
The kobold chief Dutra quickly resumed ore mining with his sons.
Although those little guys are covered with horny and fine scales, they are not very powerful in combat.
But mining is indeed a good skill.
When they returned to the mine, the dark and cramped environment gave them a great sense of security.
It's truly a duck to water, at least on the ground, where kobolds are much less active.
They control three mines that have been confirmed to be safe.
Coupled with the assistance of the mining magic mecha, once the mining is fully carried out, the daily quantity is still very considerable.
This is a huge amount of wealth and an extremely stable source of ore.
You must know that the mine was originally the largest mine near Azshara.
Even after many years of mining, it has been abandoned for so many years.
But it is still enough to meet the development of the territory.
As long as the stable output of the mine can be ensured, in the future.
Basically, the territory can be self-sufficient in mineral resources.
This is a treasure that cannot be missed.
The daily output of these ores alone is a huge fortune for any lord at this stage.
Any lord who knows the news will be swallowed up by greed.
"this is a good news."
"Dutra did a great job."
"For the safety of the mine, Favid must mobilize four two-headed hell dogs to guard the mine tomorrow."
"By the way, let Bajie stay in the mine to avoid the limelight."
"After all, that's where it lived before we conquered it."
Zong Shen thought for a moment and decided to strengthen the protection of the mine.
There is nothing in the entire territory that is more suitable than Farvid's bark team.
Those two-headed hellhounds are powerful and powerful, equivalent to commander-level monsters of the same level.
It also has the characteristics of abyss and hell species, and its attacks can cause chaotic damage.
So far, Favid has produced a total of eight hell two-headed dogs through Killing Call.
As long as four of them are sent to the mine, the defense of the mine can be greatly increased.
The remaining four continue to accompany Faweid to deal with possible battles in the winter challenge.
Because the two-headed hell dog, as a hell species, is naturally not afraid of severe cold.
Cold cannot cause any damage to their bodies.
However, states such as freezing, freezing, and stiffness will still occur.
After receiving Zong Shen's reply, Marier kept his orders and arrangements in mind.
Then he continued.
"Also, the night after you left."
"A small group of Blue Owl Knights visited the territory."
"Inquiring about the situation in the territory."
"And he made a tour, took notes and then left."
"It should be related to the crusade troops in Odo Village."
"They seem to be actively documenting territorial conditions in this area."
"I asked Uncle Colby to go to Odo Village to investigate the situation the next morning."
"The entire Odo village has been reduced to ruins."
"All the Giant City Crusade Army has evacuated there and should be returning to Giant City."
Mariel's second news was equally exciting.
Zong Shen estimated the time.
He found that the approximate time of the Giant City Crusade's withdrawal coincided with the time when he met Harold on the road.
This shows that the crusade in Odo Village must have really retreated.
A vast territory also brings vast troubles.
Even if they have discovered the coming lords.
However, it still takes a lot of effort to fully complete verification and statistics.
This order must wait until they return to the giant city, and then be issued to all major cities in the form of an administrative order.
Only then can it be considered completely effective.
Only then will all the states and cities take action and begin to formally verify the settlements that appeared inexplicably.
This period will take at least ten to fifteen days.
Zong Shen was not worried about this at all, because he had already obtained Bosbon's magic flag.
Baron Bezos has also prepared backup plans.
Just hide Bajie and the more exposed Immortal Lancer.
Who could know that what happened in Odo Village was related to someone from his sect?
Zong Shen nodded slightly, raised his chin slightly, and signaled Mariel to continue reporting.
Mariel tightened her fur coat tightly and continued.
"A bard visited me in the evening five or six hours ago."
"His name is England."
"I claim to be here at your invitation and possess communication crystal number 10."
"We entertained him warmly and placed him in an empty room on the third floor of the Lord's Building."
"Currently, only the lord's small building in the territory can be used to entertain guests..."
She explained quietly, for fear that Zong Shen would blame her.
After all, the lord's small building is considered a core location of the territory.
"That guy England is pretty fast."
"Yes, he is the guest I invited."
"You are right. There is indeed no room in the territory that can be used to entertain guests at this stage."
"That guy didn't mean anything bad."
Zong Shen agreed with Mariel’s approach.
He had already checked England's details through the strategy module before.
Plus he's a potential hero.
That's why I gave him the communication crystal.
Zong Shen would not risk leading someone to meet him in the territory if he didn't know the details.
Hearing what Zong Shen said, Mariel finally felt relieved.
When Zong Shen is away, she needs to make some decisions flexibly based on the situation.
It is necessary to maintain decency and ensure the security of the territory.
This is also a test for Mariel.
