"Is that so?"
"My lord, as the chosen one, is really different."
Luna's worries were swept away, and she stretched out her hand to gently caress her belly.
The look on his face was full of expectation and hope.
Zong Shen was also shocked. He put one arm around Luna's head and put the other hand on her belly.
For any man, becoming a father is a very important turning point in life.
Before becoming a father, a man is always a boy, brave, aggressive, and full of curiosity.
After becoming a father, a man will naturally understand responsibility, care, and advancement.
The next generation is the inheritance and the hope of blood.
Of course, many people now advocate child-freeism, and this trend of thought is related to social pressure.
But this is the Endless Continent, and Zong Shen is a lord who has cheated.
When conditions permit, it is also a pleasure to have the next generation.
This is the human reproductive instinct cheering.
After Luna became pregnant, it also gave Zong Shen a greater sense of belonging.
The territory feels more and more like home.
It is not yet known how long Luna's pregnancy took.
Are the characteristics during pregnancy biased toward humans or night elves?
If you follow the night elves, then the pregnancy cycle may be longer.
However, as Zong Shen is a pure-blood human, the child born to Luna and him is naturally a hybrid of night elf and human, so perhaps the pregnancy cycle does not need to be that long.
Specifically, we have to wait until the defensive challenge is successfully passed and the lord system opens new rules before we can reach a clear conclusion.
Because of the Eye of Cthulhu, Zong Shen can stay in the territory for up to 4 hours.
Taking advantage of this time, he was ready to enjoy the rare tenderness.
…
In the early hours of the morning, Luna was already asleep.
Zong Shen asked the strategy module to dynamically monitor the location of the Eye of Cthulhu.
Watching the Eye of Cthulhu fly back again, there were still more than 200 kilometers left.
He could only get up, get dressed and walk out of the Lord's Fortress.
The farmers outside are still working overtime.
Mariel and Howie didn't sleep either.
Zong Shen explained a few words, then went to the northwest area of the territory and used a big bag to put the flying tiger that had advanced into a dragon-veined scorpion-tailed tiger.
After returning to the territory, he opened the big bag and released the wolf cavalry, paw troopers and lion and skeleton knights.
This time I brought Feihu with me purely for the purpose of having an empty rider to take my place.
The spatial chaos near the rock base area in the Green Cypress Forest has been completely calmed down.
Space props can be opened normally.
The Green Cypress Forest is also the farthest place Zong Shen has ever been to.
It is a border area between the Kingdom of Nord and the Kingdom of Avalon.
It is the best choice for walking with big eyes.
After taking Feihu with him, he can stroll around there.
According to the information previously obtained, the giant city closest to the Green Cypress Forest is Wolffang Castle in the Kingdom of Nord.
It is several thousand kilometers away from the Green Cypress Forest.
However, the state cities and village chiefs within the jurisdiction of Wolf Fang Castle are relatively scattered. There is a large state city about 700 to 800 kilometers away from there.
It is located on a tributary of the Gold River extending from the inner reaches of the Nord Kingdom to the southern region.
The locals call this tributary the Nivare River.
This state city is called Winterlow state.
It is the only tributary port of Liujin River within the jurisdiction of Langya Castle.
Ship traders can reach here by going south along the tributaries of Liujin River.
So Winterlow State is a super-scale state city.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Wolf Fang Castle happened to be guarding the throat of the southern part of the kingdom.
This is the best choice to become a giant city.
Zong Shen had done his homework while waiting, and now it was time to go shopping.
Judging from the existence time of Cthulhu, the energy will not be completely exhausted until tomorrow night.
He estimated that it would take at least three rounds of walking!
These big eyes are so annoying!
You can't believe it, Zong was actually chased by a big-eyed man!
It's not like he hasn't considered other methods, such as grabbing a scapegoat in front of him and touching the big eyeball in advance to trigger the curse.
But the risk of doing so is simply too great.
Cthulhu's big eyes have a very clear target and are basically heading straight for him.
Moreover, the Big Eyeball flies very fast. Faced with its supersonic flight, Zong Shen doesn't have much time to react when in close contact.
To sum up, the safest way is to use the word "consumption".
After Zong Shen put Feihu into his big pocket, he immediately took out the [Thousand Kilometer Portal (Orange)].
Select the spatial coordinates in the green cypress forest and open the portal.
A portal emitting blue light appeared under the night, and Zong Shen walked into it without hesitation.
Five minutes later, the light door completely disappeared.
Zong Shen also appeared in the green cypress forest.
After arriving at the place, he did not act in a hurry, but first released the flying tiger and let it stay in the air on guard.
He waited until the teleportation light gate's existence time ended and disappeared completely before he called Feihu down.
Get on the flying tiger and fly towards the northeast of the green cypress forest.
Winterlow Bang is at this location.
According to the flying speed of Feihu after he transforms into a dragon-veined scorpion-tailed tiger, it will take about an hour and twenty minutes to arrive!
Before Zong Shen set off, he estimated the distance from Winterlow State to the territory, and it had already exceeded the limit of 9,999 kilometers.
So when he returned, he had to let the flying tiger fly back a certain distance to open the portal.
It's not a big problem, after all, he can dynamically monitor the distance of the big eyeball, and he can freely decide when to return based on the actual situation.
The flying tiger carried him into the sky. In order to avoid trouble, Zong Shen let it rise to the troposphere, an altitude of 4,000 meters. Theoretically, the flying tiger could fly higher.
But this height is safe enough.
Looking down from this height, you can see the Stonetalon and Wildhoof tribes with fires.
As Feihu increased his speed and flew over the forest more than a hundred kilometers away, he could see faint lights shining in the forest. They should be hunters in the forest or some mercenaries and travelers adventurously trekking.
Traveling merchants usually only take trade routes that can be passed by horse-drawn carriages or ox-carts, and rarely go into the woods.
The moon and stars were sparse in the sky, and from time to time a large cloud would be passed through by a flying tiger.
The white misty clouds were dispersed by the flying tiger, just like a cannonball passing through a ball of cotton.
The airflow during high-speed flight is very violent.
Under the cover of night, Zong Shen guided Feihu to move quickly towards the city of Winterlow.
…
At the same time, it was more than a hundred kilometers away from Zong Shen’s territory.
At a height of about 700 to 800 meters above the ground, a large eyeball broke through the air waves and flew at an extremely exaggerated speed, leaving behind the roar of sonic booms along the way.
Its speed itself exceeds the sound, so by the time the sonic boom is heard, the big eyeball has already flown far away.
The lords along the way were awakened one after another and walked out of the lord's small building to check the situation.
At this time, the Eye of Cthulhu suddenly sensed something, and its forward speed suddenly stagnated and slowed down slightly. After a brief deceleration, it quickly sensed the target again, so it turned around while rushing forward.
Make a 180° bend and return to the original path!
Clouds of sonic booms bloomed behind it.
If this big eyeball could have self-awareness, it would definitely be cursing right now.
Fortunately, this eyeball is just one of the relatively weak evil energy in Cthulhu.
It’s not considered the “eye of God” yet, so it looks rather dull.
It wandered on the Endless Continent many years ago and has been passed down from generation to generation by the Goblin tribe in the northern mountains and forests. Without enough evil energy to cultivate, it is difficult for it to burst out evil intentions.
At this time, it was only used by Cthulhu as a carrier of the curse to take revenge on Zong Shen!
But this time around, I'm afraid Big Eyeball is destined to be walked to death.
The sonic boom it left behind also attracted the attention of many lords and even some indigenous forces.
After it flew over the northwest, in the dense forest below, Saint Safuri of the Calamity Raven Church was trekking through the forest with several squadrons of apostle warriors.
She was rushing to the next secret stronghold of the church, and directly reached the tree crow stronghold more than 600 kilometers away from the giant city of Lentax through the teleportation array.
A sonic boom in the sky caught her attention.
This time she was accompanied by two seventh-level bishops in the church.
Under the sound of sonic boom, everyone stopped and raised their heads to look at the gas explosion cloud in the sky that was extremely eye-catching under the moonlight.
"Something flew past!"
Sally asked with squinted eyes.
The two church bishops beside her closed their eyes and listened for a while before speaking slowly.
"not sure."
"The speed is too fast, even faster than most raptors."
"But I sensed a touch of evil energy."
One of the bishops in black robes said slowly.
The disaster magic he is majoring in can inflict diseases and plagues on targets, and it is said that it can also bring misfortune.
One of the two major characteristics of the Calamity Raven.
If you want to practice disaster magic, you must have two or more excellent magic perception talents.
It belongs to a relatively niche type of magic and is also one of the characteristics of the Calamity Raven Church.
Although Calamity Raven can only be regarded as a second-rate church, they have established many strongholds in Vaegia, Nord, and Avalon.
Some of them are secret strongholds, and some are secretly corrupted cities or villages.
Secret corruption is actually not easy, it takes a lot of time and effort.
That's why the Calamity Raven Church chose to occupy Odo Village by force.
At this time, another bishop wearing a white robe and majoring in frost magic also nodded.
"That's right, it's evil energy..."
"Maybe it's the heretics who believe in foreign gods!"
Safuri knew what she was saying and nodded gently.
"It seems like they didn't come for us."
"In that case, let's continue on our way."
"We should be able to reach the mountain stronghold before dawn."
As a saint of the church and the commander of this operation, her words are orders.
So the Calamity Raven Church resumed its progress again.
After Safuli came to this area, she couldn't help but think of Zong Shen.
Zong Shen had gained a lot of Safuli's favorability points before.
As the saying goes, Zong Shen has almost forgotten her, but Safuli has not forgotten Zong Shen. It's just that this action is very important to the church, and she doesn't want to involve Zong Shen.
It's just that the threads of fate are pulling each other, and maybe the two will meet again soon.
…
More than an hour later, Feihu finally reached the sky above Wintrobon City.
A large number of farms and pastures have been cultivated next to this state city.
A river with a width of more than 100 meters meanders from north to south.
It flows right through the side of Winterlow.
Boats of different sizes sailed on the river.
There are both traditional wooden sailboats and more advanced magic paddle steamers.
There are hundreds of slips at Winterlow Bond's docks and wharves.
There are tens of thousands of dock workers busy loading and unloading, and oxcarts and carriages are waiting behind.
It has become an inland port and material distribution center.
A large number of merchant ships brought goods here down the river.
A small number of merchant ships sailed upstream carrying local specialties.
This is the last stop of the Liujin River waterway and a distribution point in the southern region.
Giant cities including Wolffang provide food here.
Wolffang Castle is located in the rocky rift valley area, which is a natural barrier to the throat of the south.
It is difficult to produce enough food in the surrounding area, so it all depends on Winterlow State for supply.
Relevant funds are allocated directly by the Kingdom’s logistics department.
The location of Wintero is just northwest of Wolf Fang Castle.
Along the way, you need to pass through rocky rift valleys and green cypress forests.
In order to ensure the flow of materials, a space magic array for material transportation was also built in Wintro State.
This magic circle is connected to the Wolf Fang Castle in two directions. Through stacking, it can transport tens of thousands of standard luggage boxes at a time.
If we rely on land transportation, the distance of several thousand kilometers and the terrain along the way will require at least one or two months of horse and carriage travel to reach it. There is no guarantee that there will be horse bandits, monsters and the like along the way.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Since it is a direct supply of materials, the Kingdom of Nord simply built a teleportation array here.
In addition to these circumstances, the size of Winterlow City is also much larger than that of ordinary cities.
Even Bosbon, which has relatively good development progress among other cities, pales in comparison to Winterlow City.
Regardless of the population or the size of the city, Winterlow State is terrifying.
Its area is at least the size of seven or eight Bosbons, and its population is estimated to be in the millions.
Definitely a giant in the city.
A population of one million is a hurdle. If nothing else, just ensuring that they can live and work normally is not an easy task.
In particular, the productivity and system of the human kingdom in Endless Continent are not efficient.
The mainland is so vast.
With a city-level size and a population of one million, it is definitely a very impressive city.
Zong Shen asked Feihu to stop at a distance.
To avoid being detected by surveillance magic if you continue to get closer.
After looking at it, he chose a remote suburb for Feihu to land.
This is a large farm.
Fields of wheat are covered with green ears, with scarecrows standing in the middle.
From time to time, there is a light green light flashing.
Clearly this farm is blessed with natural magic!
After all, it is a farm directly under the jurisdiction of Bangcheng, so it is not surprising that it will be blessed by natural magic.
Magic can effectively increase yields and shorten the harvest cycle.
But while natural magic promotes harvest, it also affects the fertility of the land.
It often needs to be combined with various fertilizers, and every two to three harvests must be left fallow for several months.
Even so, overall the output is extremely impressive.
In addition, the seeds used by farms directly under the city are also very particular.
Basically, they are optimized grain seeds provided by the Kingdom’s Ministry of Agriculture.
Each batch of grain seeds can only be effectively cultivated for three generations before degradation occurs.
All in all, the Endless Continent has already had its own system in terms of food cultivation.
If science isn't enough, magic will do the trick.
This farm is large in area and is adjacent to a main road entering Bangcheng. There are only a few night watchmen dozing around.
In order to avoid being discovered, Zong Shen let the flying tiger drop to a height of four to five hundred meters, then he activated the [Levitation Technique], took out the big bag with his backhand, and put the flying tiger into it.
The light that opened the space was not bright, and Feihu got into it.
Then the light door disappeared instantly, and Zong Shen flew away from the place under the cover of night.
Landed in a remote corner.
Even in the middle of the night, there are still a large number of traveling merchants and villagers on the road outside Winterlow State.
The population movement of millions is not something to be boasted about.
Enough to make the surrounding area hundreds of kilometers prosperous.
Accordingly, the city of Winterlow will have more villages and settlements than other cities.
As a business and trade city, this can only be regarded as a semi-fortress city.
Sections of scattered defense lines were deployed on the banks of the Nivare River.
There are battle forts and large towers on the outskirts of farms and ranches, as well as near main roads.
There are also groups of second and third level cavalry patrolling back and forth.
With the Wolf Fang Fort holding up the front line, it's relatively safe here.
Once a situation arises, the Wolf Fang can be quickly notified through the magic book pages.
Reinforcements from Wolf Fang Castle will continue to arrive through the teleportation array.
In addition, there is also a huge city on the upper reaches of the Nivare River, about four to five thousand kilometers away from here.
The pages of Wintrobond's magic book can also be contacted.
If a brigade of Bladewing Falcons is sent to support them, it will only take a dozen hours to arrive.
This time scale is still acceptable.
At least it was much faster than the Earthbeasts. When Kunir's giant city crusade was carried out, it took several days to reach Odo Village in Earthbeast carts.
Even if they had arrived a little slower, the affairs of the Calamity Raven Church would have been settled.
The distance scale of the endless continent is so exaggerated.
Teleportation array is already the fastest way, but it is difficult to popularize.
Needless to say, there is a large teleportation array with an upper limit of 99,999 kilometers between giant cities.
The construction cost of a thousand-kilometer teleportation array is also huge.
Moreover, the difficulty of constructing the teleportation array is not only related to the upper limit of the distance, but also to the scale.
The larger the teleportation array, the more people and materials can be teleported at a time, and the corresponding teleportation area is larger.
Zong Shen walked onto the main road from the corner, pretending to be a casual mercenary passing by, and silently learned about the situation of Winterlow State through the strategy module.
Villagers passing by held torches, and torches were also mounted on the carriages of traveling merchants.
This makes the whole road look very bright.
You can enter Bangcheng by walking for another dozen or twenty kilometers along here!
