Zong Shen's performance made Alanna feel less awkward.
She is obviously the prince and noblewoman, the princess of Pendragon.
But when facing Zong Shen, I still can't help but feel inexplicably nervous.
It's as if there is some kind of natural deterrent.
So every time Alanna meets Zong Shen, it's like a child seeing a stern teacher.
It's not that I feel uneasy, I just feel weak unconsciously.
Maybe it's because of his identity as the Chosen One, or maybe it's because of the memory of the slave period.
No matter what, Zong Shen holds great weight in her heart.
Zong himself understood this.
So every time he meets Alanna, he will act as gentle as possible.
The fifth princess is a poor person, there is no need to use coercion and intimidation methods on her.
Zong Shen was seen sitting opposite her like an old friend.
Then he took out a bottle of purple rare wine from the storage compartment with a smile.
He pulled off the strong cork cork with his bare hands and filled a cup for Alanna and himself.
"have a drink?"
Alana doesn't usually drink.
So Zong Shen used a probing tone after he was gently pushed over.
"good."
Alana lowered her head and said in a delicate voice.
She always maintains a disguised ugly appearance in her territory.
Currently, Zong Shen is the only one in the territory who knows her true identity.
Even Howie and Mariel didn't know the inside story.
It's just because of Alanna's diligence and Zong Shen's special greeting asking them to take more care of her.
That's why I pay more attention to Alanna.
I have to say that her disguise was quite successful.
At least it was hidden from most people in the territory.
The two picked up their wine glasses, touched them lightly and each took a sip.
Zong Shen took a look at the dishes on the table, which were both unfamiliar and familiar.
It seems to be a new cuisine developed using some Chinese cooking methods.
Clap your hands and ask the waiter to bring you a new set of cutlery.
Instead of asking for a knife and fork, he chose chopsticks.
This thing has not been promoted in the territory yet, but it was given to the chefs along with the recipes.
Therefore, chopsticks can be found in the few pilot restaurants in the territory.
Holding the chopsticks made from tree branches, Zong Shen took a bite of the dishes on the table.
Alana's appetite was very shallow and she barely moved.
The first dish looks a bit like twice-cooked pork.
This is a change from the previous dining style of Endless Continent which was either light or served with cream sauce.
This plate of stir-fried pork has a bit more flavor, but unfortunately there is no soy sauce, which makes it a bit boring.
It seems that the manufacturing technology of soy sauce needs to be figured out at some point.
Compared with the bland sauces of Endless Continent, that stuff is the essence of Chinese food.
Zong Shen estimated that there must be people among the lords who have mastered the relevant technology and are trying to reproduce soy sauce.
If this thing is researched and put up for sale in the [market], it will definitely sell well.
If nothing else, the surviving Chinese lords of 600-700 million will buy up the soy sauce.
Wei Wucha shook his head and slowly put down his chopsticks.
Just in time to see Alanna looking at him quietly.
The moment their eyes met, Alana quickly lowered her head again.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm not a man-eating monster."
"Your majesty, your majesty, you don't even dare to raise your head."
Zong Shen joked with a smile.
After hearing what he said, Alana slowly raised her head.
"The lord has conquered the giant city of Lentax?"
"Since last night, there has been some noise in the territory."
Alana asked quietly.
Zong Shen nodded very openly.
"Roughly the same."
"The city is in ruins."
"The defenses of the third circle have been almost completely destroyed."
"But excluding those killed and lost in battle, the vast majority of the population of the giant city of Lentax is under my control and is being transferred to the territory in an orderly manner."
"The same goes for most of the supplies and wealth of the giant city of Lentax."
Regarding Zong Shen’s departure to conquer the giant city of Lentax.
Alana also heard a little about it.
As a huge city with a population of tens of millions, it is not an easy task to conquer or annex it.
I just didn't expect Zong Shen to actually succeed.
Moreover, Alanna knew that Zong Shen did not bring many people with him.
In other words, he took down the giant city of Lentax completely single-handedly.
Even just gaining population and wealth is considered a very remarkable feat.
But at this moment, she didn't know what to say.
So there was silence again.
Strictly speaking, communicating with someone like Alanna is very difficult.
But he could understand it, so he didn't mind.
Zong Shen smiled and drank the wine in one gulp, ready to talk about business.
"I recently received some news about the old King Guther."
"Do you want to hear it?"
When she heard the name "Guser", Alana couldn't help but tremble.
Then she nodded slowly.
"think."
This answer made Zong Shen curl up his lips.
"Old King Guser is not dead yet."
"Part of the conservative forces and the knights who once loyal to him are still protecting him."
"At the same time, I collected some life-extending things."
"But the situation of old King Guser is more troublesome."
"Failed baptism is just a symptom."
"What caused him to fall into endless decay was the curse that devoured life in his body."
"This curse caused his life to wither quickly, and there was not much left in his life."
"It can be said to be the main culprit that caused all this now."
"And because the effect of the curse is extremely overbearing, even those treasures that can extend life span are greatly reduced."
"A treasure that can last for twenty years can only extend its life by half a month."
Having said this, Zong Shen paused for a moment before continuing.
"Currently, King Guser should have three or four months left in his life."
While he was describing these situations, Alana's body was shaking more and more violently.
In the end, I couldn't help but raise my head completely.
On the ugly disguised face, the clear eyes were filled with tears.
This information is accurate and was obtained by Zong Shen through the strategy module.
"Three or four months..."
Alana repeated in a murmur.
Zong Shen nodded calmly.
Although he sympathized with Alana, or Princess Anne's plight.
But he himself had no friendship with the old King Guser.
What is more concerning is Guser's influence on the situation in the kingdom.
It may sound cool, but it is completely normal.
Even his sympathy for Alanna is based on the fact that both parties know each other.
"I'm planning to go to the Imperial City of Aio soon."
"By the way, complete the commission you originally gave me."
"As far as I know, the blood in your body is unusual."
At this point, Zong Shen stopped being secretive.
He simply said straight to the point.
"go back…"
Alana repeated, still in a daze.
Regardless of whether she was listening to him or not, Zong Shen spoke to himself.
"Yes."
"The situation in Avalon is complex."
"The old guard and the knights loyal to King Guthera are looking for you."
"And the mysterious force that wants to kill you seems to be related to the radical reformists behind your fourth brother."
"But I guess this is behind the reformists."
As he spoke, Zong Shen raised his finger and pointed at the top of his head.
The implication is self-evident.
After all, Alanna is not a pure Aboriginal.
He was a citizen with a special status, so she understood Zong Shen's meaning almost instantly.
"As for your third sister, your second brother and your eldest brother are very indifferent towards you."
"So the only one who wants to kill you is your fourth brother."
"By the way, your eldest brother seems to think more about you than a brother or sister."
When Zong Shen said this, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.
The strategy module knew everything, but it allowed him to learn many secrets when he inquired about relevant situations.
For example, the eldest prince's abnormal love for Anne.
At this time, Alanna frowned and didn't care about the tidbits.
In the past, she had felt her eldest brother's attentiveness and concern.
But she doesn't have the same feelings for her eldest brother.
"When do you plan to leave?"
After a short silence, Alana finally spoke again.
Faced with this question, Zong Shen calmed down and looked at her with a more serious look.
"I intend to leave this decision to you."
"I need to deal with the subsequent development of the territory in the next half month."
"By the way, we'll deal with some of the surrounding ruins."
"The rest of the time can be freely used."
He left the decision to Alana.
In fact, Anne Pendragon is one of the fifth princesses with a special bloodline.
At the same time, he is also the child on whom King Guser has placed his hope.
If she is suitable to go to the Imperial City of Io, she can completely determine part of the future destiny of the Kingdom of Avalon.
If she had gone to the Imperial City of Io earlier, it would have become a catalyst for intensifying the conflicts in the kingdom.
After all, the current divisions within the kingdom have been faintly revealed.
But it was too late, and the old king Guser was in a cold state, and the kingdom still had to fight.
The most critical thing is when Zong Shen asks the strategy module to give reference opinions.
The strategy also seems a bit shaky.
This seems to involve a floating script.
Because of this, Zong Shen decided to put the question to Alanna herself.
Alanna has the blood power of King Arthur, and the decision she made may be the one that is most suitable for development.
Zong Shen will definitely make enough profits by following the trend.
In addition, Alanna serves the territory diligently, without any credit or hard work.
Zong Shen admired such a down-to-earth leader.
It was under these two premises that he finally made such a decision.
Faced with the choice, Alana's brows first frowned, and then slowly relaxed.
In her clear eyes, the layer of mist and tears quickly dissipated and she suddenly became determined.
"We will officially set off in two months and seven days."
"Go to Avalon North first."
"There is a quick and direct way to the Imperial City of Io."
Alana's tone became serious, and she seemed to be a different person in a trance.
After finishing speaking, she looked at Zong Shen with bright eyes.
"The Chosen One."
"You have everything I've ever dreamed of."
"I don't mind if you draw nourishment from Avalon's 'corpse'."
"This is inevitable after the change of dimensions."
"This has been our destined fate since we left."
"Every kingdom has become his big fat pig."
"And these big fat pigs are just for you."
Alanna said calmly, but Zong Shen knew that she had changed to a different person long ago.
Now sitting in front of him to communicate with was Arthur Pendragon.
The famous King Arthur.
Founder of the Kingdom of Avalon.
"Okay, I respect your decision."
Zong Shen raised his lips.
Arthur didn't speak again, just nodded.
"Let's have a drink before we leave."
Zong Shen looked at Alanna, his eyes slowly darkened, and suddenly said.
Then her eyes became bright again.
"interesting."
"You are not a qualified knight."
"But definitely an interesting Chosen One."
Zong Shen smiled and refused to comment.
Put away the rare bottle of wine.
This level of wine is enough for him and Alanna to drink.
But the person sitting in front of him was King Arthur.
So he took out a bottle of gleaming wine from his collection.
From the Secret Collection of Blood Rose.
This bottle of wine should allow King Arthur to regain his memories of the past.
For example, the Baihua Fairy who was let down by him.
Uncork the bottle and pour out the wine.
As the wine rippled, the air was suddenly filled with the refreshing fragrance of roses.
The aroma of flowers and wine blend together.
King Arthur frowned when he asked lightly.
But he didn't say anything. He picked up the wine glass and took a bold sip.
"How is she?"
After putting down the wine glass, King Arthur suddenly asked with some regret.
Such a mainland overlord actually looked sad.
Zong Shen drank together and received considerable attribute blessings.
After thinking about it for a while, I told him what I learned from the strategy module.
After learning that his real wife had treated Fairy Baihua cruelly.
King Arthur was silent for a long time.
Thousands of words and thousands of thoughts turned into a sigh.
Then he picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Thank you for this glass of wine."
"It awakened my long-lost emotions."
"In return, I will protect your territory within two months."
"When necessary, I will use my bloodline body to take action for you."
Zong Shen was also prompted at the same time.
[Acquire buff effects, King Arthur’s protection]
[Effect duration: 60 days]
…
His eyes suddenly lit up.
He immediately asked in a curious tone.
"I often provoke strong people."
"For example, those projections of gods and demigod-level guards."
"You use Anne's body as a carrier, can you deal with it?"
This was the issue he was most concerned about, so he took the initiative to ask without restraint.
But he saw King Arthur grinning.
"Two months."
"Even if God comes, I will kill him for you to see."
"Of course, those gods above the middle level have no chance of coming down."
"Okay, see you later."
"The descendants of my bloodline cannot bear the excessive occupation of this body."
After saying that, Alana lay down leisurely on the table.
Then a uniform cry came out.
High-end drinks made her drunk instantly.
Especially without the support of King Arthur's will.
