The giant city of Lentax, the second circle.
Zong Shen followed the guidance of the strategy module and arrived at Kunil's manor smoothly.
His title is Viscount of the Kingdom, he has no fiefdom under his command, and he does not have a strong family behind him.
It is a knighthood based on meritorious service, a title obtained mainly based on meritorious service in the knight order.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this kind of Lord started from scratch.
Therefore, no matter in terms of financial resources or quality of life, he is not as good as Earl Rice.
As a viscount of the kingdom and the squadron leader of the Dragonborn Knights.
It is already good to have a manor of your own in the second circle of the giant city.
The manor in front of us is not too big, only about one-seventh or eighth of the size of Rice Manor.
A bluestone wall surrounds the entire manor, and decorative creepers are planted outside, which are now growing green.
There are only two gates in the entire manor, located in the north and south directions.
There are no fancy guards.
There is no defensive magic energy shield device deployed.
There are not even guard towers or sentry posts.
Because just two blocks away from his manor, there was a station of the Dragonborn Knights.
There is a squadron of Dragonborn knights stationed there, all of whom are Qenir's men.
Perhaps it was for this reason that he chose to settle here.
Although this is only the second circle, the land price is also high.
To occupy a place here and build a manor requires both financial resources and connections.
For the Earl of Rice, it was nothing, but for a Viscount like Quinnier, it still required some thought.
A giant city is different from a state city or a village.
All kinds of fancy viscounts and barons are nothing.
Especially a knight without a fiefdom is a younger brother within a younger brother.
This is what the noble despise chain of the Kingdom of Avalon is all about.
Even Baron Bezos has more cards than Quinnier.
Unless Quinnier has a public mission, Baron Bezos's hidden status is higher.
It can be seen that this old boy definitely has a way to make extra money.
After walking around the manor, Zong Shen was basically sure that there were no precautions in place.
Not even guards are hired, only three or four miscellaneous maids and two young and beautiful personal maids.
The entire manor is very peaceful, and there are some flowers and ornamental plants planted in the courtyard that do not require excessive maintenance.
I also have two dogs and a cat, but nothing else.
Compared with Count Rice's luxurious manor, which occupies a huge area, this place seems much simpler.
But simplicity is only a relative term. After all, this is a serious manor.
It is a single-family house with a dedicated fence and a small stable.
This alone is better than most of the houses in the second circle.
The premise that the manor is undefended comes from Quinnier's strong self-confidence.
Whenever someone dares to break into it, the maids will ring the magic bell to notify the Dragonborn Knights.
In addition, some hidden warning magic circles are also arranged in the manor.
It only takes half a minute for his dragonborn knights to arrive from their station.
Just a few years ago, there was a group of gangsters who were robbing the surrounding areas and selected Quinnier's manor as their target. As a result, the bloody heads of these gangsters were hung at the door of the manor the next day.
This set of defensive measures is the manor's, simple and crude, but very effective.
Ordinary little robbers would trigger the alarm as soon as they sneaked into the manor, and then they would be blocked inside by the dragonborn knights riding war horses and beat them up.
To be honest, this method is very effective in preventing petty thieves.
But it is meaningless to legendary strong men like Zong and Xiao Heizi.
Of course, there is no need for a serious legendary powerhouse to come to Viscount Quinnier's manor.
Zong Shen actually didn't like the three melons and two dates in Quinnier Manor, mainly because he wanted to get that important relic token.
After basically confirming the situation in the manor, with the help of him and Xiao Heizi behind him, and the guidance of the strategy module, it was enough to avoid the hidden warning magic circle and the gaze of the maid.
And Viscount Quinnier's treasure house is in his study.
It's said to be a treasure house, but it's actually a reinforced darkroom.
Zong Shen chose a suitable place beside the outer stone wall and climbed in directly.
Then, he took out a [Stealth Rune (Blue)], selected himself and Xiao Heizi as targets to activate the rune, and entered the third-level stealth state.
This level of stealth is not very stealthy. If you walk within the first circle, you will probably be detected in minutes.
But it is more than enough to sneak into Quinnir's manor.
In this way, the master and servant entered the manor smoothly.
Following the shadow of the back room, carefully avoiding the warning magic circle, he jumped up and sneaked into the house from a balcony on the second floor.
At this time, a large number of golden circle marks appeared in front of Zong Shen's eyes.
Among them are the real-time locations of the maids, as well as places where warning magic circles are deployed.
Under such circumstances, he and Xiao Heizi quickly sneaked into the study without any danger.
I groped around on the bookshelf and found the mechanism that opened the secret door.
The so-called darkroom was very small and cramped, with a table and chairs placed there.
There are two or three money boxes, but no antiques or collectibles.
His goal was that the relic tokens were placed randomly, along with a few parchments and a few atlases, just placed on the table together.
It was a broken dagger, with a layer of rust on the crack and residual black blood stains on the dagger.
The broken dagger belonged to the upper half and was placed casually on the edge of the table with a thick layer of dust on it.
Even the wax in the candlestick stuck to it.
This shows that Kunir didn't seem to realize the true value of this thing. He just regarded it as an ordinary ruin-related item and casually put it into his small vault.
And this is indeed the case, there are no runes or breath left on the broken dagger.
It looks unremarkable.
Only Zong Shen can rely on the advantage of information to understand its true purpose in advance!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! According to the prompts in the strategy module, the dagger can open a strange coffin.
And the most important treasures and secrets in the demonic ruins are hidden in the strange coffin.
Zong Shen came to the table, squinted his eyes, and quickly scanned the items.
Smart golden subtitles appeared line by line, allowing him to quickly grasp the relevant information.
[Illustrated Book of the Northern System of the Great City of Lentax]
…
[Brief Drawing of Mavillon Forest]
…
[Looking back to ancient times, the little-known demon hunter]
…
[The complete collapse of the elves, the cataclysmic epic of the demonic invasion]
…
The first thing that caught my eye were the parchments and ancient books.
Then came the information about the dagger.
[Demon Hunter Illidan Stormrage's Heart-piercing Dagger (Broken)]
…
Looking at this short line of golden handwriting, Zong Shen was stunned.
"Demon Hunter...Illidan Stormrage..."
He murmured to himself repeatedly and couldn't help but think of the lonely figure sitting alone on the edge of the cliff on the stone carving when he first explored the Demon Hunter Temple, looking at the bright moon in the sky.
There is obviously no specific character.
But Zong Shen understood that that guy was Illidan Stormrage.
As for the broken dagger itself, it is also very famous, but it is really just a simple damaged item.
The level is in a gray broken state and does not have the suffix of [Special] or [Unknown].
But since the strategy module says it can open the Strange Coffin, then it can be opened.
Quickly putting away the dagger and the scroll on the table, Zong Shen looked at the money boxes again.
There were actually only a few hundred thousand dinars in these cash boxes, and he didn't want to plunder them.
But when I thought about it, if I just took away those things on the table, I'm afraid it would arouse Quinnier's suspicion.
So I packed them all up and took them away, pretending to be a robber breaking into the house!
In addition to a few money boxes, there is also a set of spare knight's armor hanging on the iron frame.
This level is a relatively rare red suit level, but its attributes are just average.
At least Zong Shen doesn't think highly of it now.
Moreover, this is a set of knight heavy armor, which mainly adds impact resistance and dual resistance.
Although the Li Mo series worn by Zong Shen is also a red suit.
But the powerful strength gain effect makes it still outdated even now.
The most awesome one is undoubtedly the [Ring of Power Demon (Red)], which can absorb power from the skills of targets below level six by killing it, and it also brings him more than a hundred points of [Strength Attribute] gain.
So he had no idea of changing his clothes, so he put away the set of knight's full armor that Qunier had spared, and packed it up and took it away.
Then he wandered around the dark room for a while, using the strategy module to repeatedly observe and confirm that nothing was missing before leaving the manor.
He easily climbed out of the bluestone wall, then walked through the streets and disappeared into the crowd.
Xiao Heizi was bored to the point of bubbling. He didn't complain about anything, he just followed his master step by step.
When they left the manor, Quinnier, who was far away in the Dream Drunk Pavilion, had just finished drinking the Sorrow Wine.
He rode his war horse back in the direction of the manor and the station. He had no idea that the manor had been raided during the drinking period.
…
On the outskirts of the great city of Lentax, Lancaster Hunting Park.
As the rulers of the giant city, the Lancaster family designated an area of plains and woodland as a hunting ground on the outskirts.
The grounds are also filled with flowers, gurgling streams flow through, and birds chirp loudly.
In addition to being used for hunting, it is also a good place for horseback riding and relaxation.
This place is more than a hundred kilometers away from the outskirts of the city, and it is rare that it has not been developed into farms, pastures or orchards.
These days, Prince Carter often invites Penny to come here to relax.
In fact, he didn't like it here, but he couldn't help Penny liking it.
As long as he invites Penny to come here for a walk, the other party will basically agree.
As for other date invitations, that may not be the case.
Therefore, Prince Carter often used this place as an excuse to invite Penny out on dates.
The weather is fine today, and as usual it is a good time to go horse riding and take a walk.
Prince Carter and Penny rode side by side, walking side by side along the path among the flowers.
Whether it was the personal guard following the prince [Shining Warrior: Kaji Mizzit] or the legendary ranger responsible for protecting Penny, they all followed far behind and did not step forward to act as light bulbs.
The two rode for a while, and Prince Carter suddenly reached out and tried to hold Penny's delicate hand.
But Penny, who looked calm, was already on guard and turned around calmly.
"Your Highness, look there, there is a beautiful butterfly."
This was Penny's usual trick. She could interrupt the prince's unintentional thoughts by pretending to change the subject casually, but Prince Carter couldn't stand it and still resorted to this trick.
This feeling of remoteness is the key to Prince Carter's fascination with him.
So after Penny opened her mouth, he could only retract his hand.
The two of them soon reached the place where the flowers were blooming the most.
The horses stopped here, they spread a tablecloth by the stream, picked up the food basket, and prepared to have a picnic on the spot.
After eating and drinking, Prince Carter lay down on the grass, and Penny sat quietly next to him, feeling quite contented listening to the gurgling water and the chirping of birds.
No one noticed that a burst of transparent and odorless smoke spread along Penny's fingertips and floated in Prince Carter's nose.
After inhaling the smoke, Prince Carter immediately felt sleepy.
Close your eyes and fall into sleep.
At the same time, Penny lay down further away, turned sideways and closed her eyes.
The situation by the stream was naturally noticed by the two legendary powerhouses.
It's not a big deal to take a nap after the picnic.
No one knew that when Penny closed her eyes, she could feel another scene!
In her mind, the surrounding flowers, plants and trees seemed to be endowed with spirituality.
They jumped and sang happily, constantly gathering some of their own essence power into Penny's body.
At the same time, a six-winged elf only as big as a palm appeared in her mind.
This is a flower fairy with wings like a dragonfly.
There were crystal light spots scattered all over the flying place.
However, this flower fairy did not appear in reality, but appeared in Penny's thoughts.
They were communicating in whispers in their minds.
About twenty or thirty minutes later, Prince Carter woke up leisurely and stretched out comfortably.
But Penny had already taken the lead and was sitting by the river, playing with the water with her calves.
Everything seemed to be normal around her, but Penny herself understood that some kind of power within her had grown stronger.
The hunting ground here is actually not simple, and the secret hidden in it is the key to her opportunity.
"Your Highness, are you awake?"
Penny smiled and rarely took the initiative to greet him.
The prince, who was full of energy after sleeping for a while, was in a good mood and nodded with a smile on his face.
Then he sat next to her, took off his boots and played in the water together.
"The sunshine is so pleasant today."
"I fell asleep before I knew it."
Prince Carter said with some sigh, it was rare for him to regain a sense of childhood.
Penny, who was sitting next to her, nodded slightly.
"Actually, it's not bad to live in a place like this."
"There are too many people in the city and they are too impetuous."
"I like streams, flowers, and bright sunshine."
Penny swung her feet and raised her head to look at the sun in the sky.
This made her face glow golden in the sun.
