Zong Shen looked at her with interest.
The young man in front of him seemed different from other aborigines he had seen.
It's obvious that he's just a poor man dressed up, but yet he's so reserved.
It reminded him of the first time he met Mariel.
Generally speaking, aborigines of this size have long since become veterans.
This is the life of ordinary people in the Endless Continent. If you don't work hard to grow up, you will have no chance to grow up, and some children will die in childhood or adolescence.
In addition, this young man has good skills and strength.
It seems that he must have received professional soldier training, and he can fight with a dozen gangster rats with just a wooden stick. This is the reason why he didn't be ruthless.
"Sit down and eat."
"Are you still worried that the ground will be dirty?"
Zong Shen patted the ground beside him with a smile and asked Zoe to sit down.
In just a short time, Zoe had eaten half of the beef jerky, and she must have been really hungry.
"Drink some water."
Zong Shen took out a leather water bag from the storage compartment and handed it to her.
"Thanks…"
Zoe thanked her in a low voice, took the water bag, and drank a sip of water.
Zong Shen looked at it for a while and recalled several details. He felt that this kid must have a story, so he squinted his eyes to check her attributes.
[Hero: Zoe Babbitt (orange)]
[Qualification: Legend]
【Age:21】
[Race: Human race]
[Level: LV27]
【Strength: 46】
[Agility: 29]
【Wisdom:31】
【Charm:20】
(After passing the fourth-level [Transformation Potion] and disguising herself, the daughter of Earl Maren, with the dream of becoming an adventurer, started running away from home for the fourth time, but unexpectedly met you)
Zong Shen glanced at the attribute information of the young man in front of him and frowned slightly.
"Daughter of Count Maron???"
According to the information obtained previously, Count Marlon Babbitt is the leader of Winterlow City.
The young man in front of me is actually the daughter of an earl?
Isn't that the darling of Earl Marlen, and the jewel of Winterlow City?
After he saw the two key words "having the dream of becoming an adventurer" and "running away from home for the fourth time" mentioned in the guide notes, he immediately imagined the image of a rebellious girl.
It makes sense! Everything makes sense!
No wonder she is so reserved, it turns out she is a chick who has not experienced the wind and rain!
If she loves adventure, why not abduct her back to the territory?!
This idea emerged from Zong Shen's mind and became irresistible!
Zong Shen has no resistance to any hero-level talent, not to mention Zoe Babbitt's qualifications have reached the legendary level. Regardless of whether she prefers combat or internal affairs, she is a rare talent.
Secondly, although Zoe is the daughter of an earl, her status is far less special than Alanna, so she can be taken under his command smoothly. With this relationship, he can send Zoe to contact the city of Winterlow.
I think Count Mullen will definitely give him some face.
In this way, in addition to Bosi State, Zong Shen has another city point that can be expanded.
Zong Shen thought for a while, then closed the attribute list with a thought.
At this time, Zoe had just finished eating the beef jerky and was eating scones.
A portion of military grade beef jerky can replenish 50 points of hunger and satiety, but she is not full yet.
This shows that she was indeed hungry and ran away from home.
Zoe finally felt full after eating another half of the scone, and took a gulp of water with satisfaction.
He raised his neck comfortably and reached out to touch his belly.
The expression on his face also changed from the original restraint to one of comfort.
She found that although these people were a little rude, they were really not bad people.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zong Shen took the initiative to ask.
"I definitely can't go back to Bangcheng."
"You were fighting those rats just now, and many people saw it."
"I guess we regard you as our companion."
"What are your plans next?"
Hearing his words, Zoe was startled again, and suddenly remembered that she was leaving home this time to go north along the river!
"I am going to go north and go to the Steel Sand Gobi along the Nivare River."
"So, let's separate here."
Zoe thought for a while, then told the truth, and made an excuse to separate from these people.
“Steel Sand Gobi?”
This was a place Zong Shen didn't know about, but he still knew about the Nivare River, and estimated that it should be a certain area upstream.
In this situation, the only way is to lure Zoe back to the territory first.
"We are a team of famous adventurers from the Kingdom of Avalon, called Breath of the Wild."
"An ancient elf city ruins were recently discovered."
"Most of the team members are there. We have another mission in Winterlow State this time."
"I think you have good skills, why not consider joining us."
Zong Shen thought for a moment and said casually, pretending to be casual.
If Zoe really has a dream of adventure, she will never be uninterested in the ruins of the elf city.
Speaking of which, Baron Bezos also wanted to be an adventurer when he was young.
I lost all my armor and was tortured in various ruins.
What's going on with these nobles?
He complained in his mind for a while, but Zoe showed a thoughtful expression.
This is because he didn't know there was a book called "The Biography of Legendary Adventurer Tim Ackerling".
It is this book that has inspired many aristocratic children to aspire to become adventurers across the continent, including the young Baron Bezos and the current count's daughter Zoe Babbitt.
Although the great legendary adventurer has disappeared, his stories are still being circulated through books.
Zong Shen struck while the iron was hot and took out an Azshara [Elf Key (Orange)] from the storage compartment.
The fan-shaped key is engraved with the World Tree and the Well of Eternity.
The whole body of the key is only as big as a thumb, but it looks very delicate.
He flipped the key up with his thumb and threw it towards Zoe.
The latter quickly reached out to take it, put it in his palm, rubbed it and observed it.
"There are nine [Elf Keys (Orange)] in total."
"By gathering all the parts, you can control the remaining magic circle in the ruins of Azshara."
"After collecting them all, you can even open Azshara's treasure trove."
"In addition, there is a bone burial ground nearby that spans more than a hundred kilometers."
"It was left behind by the dimensional invaders from the last era, the blood-burning demon army."
"Have you ever heard of the elven city Azshara and the Boneyard?"
As soon as these words came out, Zoe's eyes changed.
"I saw an ancient map from a previous era."
"I know that the elven city of Azshara was within the territory of the current Kingdom of Avalon."
"It's at least tens of thousands of kilometers away from Wintrobon City."
"As for the Bone Burial Ground, I once read about it in an adventure travel book."
"That's the evil zone created by the blood-burning demons after they sacrificed hundreds of thousands of Azshara residents and rebels."
As expected of being the daughter of an earl, this insight is extraordinary.
"It's a good experience."
"How about it, are you interested?"
Zong Shen took advantage of the situation and extended an olive branch.
He didn't lie. After joining his territory, weren't the ruins of Azshara and the Bone Burial Ground still casually explored?
As for the "Breath of the Wild" adventure team, it's not a lie either.
After he returns this time, he will form a special adventure team to simultaneously open up wasteland.
It's really too busy for him alone.
At that time, he will mobilize some elite soldiers and generals to form an adventure team in the territory.
If Zoe Babbitt can take on the responsibility of guiding the adventure team, Zong Shen wouldn't mind letting him lead the team.
As for the name of the adventure team, let’s call it Breath of the Wild!
It’s just that Zoe doesn’t think the other party can see through the disguise of the fourth-level transformation effect.
What's more, she didn't expect that a stranger, Zong Shen, could see through her dream of adventure.
So she regarded it all as a coincidence.
"Breath of the Wild Adventure Team..."
"The ruins of the city of Azshara and the burial ground..."
She thought about it in her mind for a while, then raised her head and glanced at Kaginia and Joan of Arc.
Among them, Joan of Arc is a beautiful girl.
In terms of appearance alone, she is only better than Zoe Babbitt.
This made Zoe feel relieved. What she was most worried about was that after the [Transformation Potion (Purple)] expired, her appearance would be exposed.
The world is full of prejudice against women, especially beautiful women.
Being beautiful is an advantage, but being outside your comfort zone also represents danger.
Zoe already thinks of Jeanne d'Arc and Kagenia as members of Breath of the Wild.
Since Joan of Arc will not be affected, it is naturally safe for her to join this adventure team.
Thinking of this, Zoe made up her mind.
The adventurer's dream that haunts her is right in front of her.
She had always wanted to leave Wintrobon City, and this seemed like a good opportunity.
Moreover, the other party has griffons, so even if it travels tens of thousands of kilometers, it doesn't take much time.
If you agree, you agree. If you refuse, you refuse. There is nothing to be pretentious about.
So Zoe Babbitt nodded and agreed.
"I would like to join the Breath of the Wild adventurer team!"
After hearing her answer, Zong Shen showed a satisfied smile.
He stretched out his right hand and shook her.
Then he clapped his hands and called for Caniggia and Joan of Arc to come over and cooperate.
"Welcome to join."
"Everyone, come over and welcome the new members."
Both Kaginia and Jeanne knew that the lord was working hard to add new blood to the territory.
They walked over cooperatively and shook hands with Zoe respectively.
After a brief greeting, Zong Shen and she both stood up.
"Now, let's introduce each other."
This is a very reasonable request. From now on, everyone will be partners, and self-introduction is definitely indispensable.
"My name is Zong Shen."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Caniggia."
"France, Joan of Arc."
The three of them introduced themselves respectively.
After Zoe hesitated for a moment, she decided to tell her real name without emphasizing her identity and background.
They come from other places and may not know the name of Earl Mullen or the Babbitt family.
If the other party asks, it's not too late to tell her. If the other party doesn't ask, then she won't go out of her way to tell her.
"My name is Zoe Babbitt."
"The current appearance is a deformed disguise."
"Actually, my gender is female."
"Nice to meet you all. I have dreamed of becoming an adventurer since I was a child!"
"The transformation effect will last until night..."
Zoe told her real name and exhausted all the courage in her heart.
Everyone was calm, except for Kaginia's face, which looked slightly surprised.
There was no surprise on Zong Shen's face, only a look of relief.
Needless to say, Joan of Arc, no matter what happened, she always had a calm face, and had the temperament of a superior person who could not express her emotions or anger.
"welcome."
"We are going to rescue the innocent dancer this afternoon."
"Zoe, do you want to come with us?"
Zong Shen asked with a smile.
"Rescue the dancer?"
Zoe asked curiously.
The smile on Mr. Zong's face became even bigger, and he nodded gently.
"That's right, she's the dancer."
"I wonder if you've ever heard of the Aldrich Dance Company?"
"They are notorious in the city."
"The dancers and dancers are coerced into performing by placing their relatives under house arrest or using other coercive means."
"After each performance, these dancers and dancers will be invited to accompany the guests through bidding."
"This time we will eradicate the Aldrich Dance Company's station in Winterlow State and rescue those innocent people!"
Zong Shen said sternly.
"It turns out that everything in the book is true."
"Great adventurers often have a sense of justice and will lend a helping hand to those who are suffering along the way!"
Zoe Babbitt had stars in her eyes.
He nodded hastily.
"I am willing to participate in this operation!"
"I have received strict warrior training!"
After saying that, she took out the storage pendant from her neck, took out a double-edged ax and held it in her hand.
His face was full of eagerness to try.
"Tsk tsk, you are worthy of being a Nord. As expected, they all know how to use axes!"
Zong Shen sighed in his heart, as the saying goes, the soil and water nourish the people.
"Very good, you will join us soon."
"Don't worry, just rest for a while and it will be noon soon."
He estimated the time and found that he had to wait for another ten or twenty minutes because he still had to insert coins at certain points.
…
At the same time, in the central castle of Wintrobon City.
Count and Lady Mullen were sitting in the study.
The Count himself was on official business, and after the morning meeting there were many orders to be issued.
The grain tax and resource tax paid by all villages in the city will be increased by 10%.
This move can increase the efficiency of Bangcheng's own material reserves.
In addition, he also had to communicate with Wolffang Castle through the magic book pages.
At this moment, the magic induction ball placed on the desk by Count Malen suddenly lit up.
This shows that his baby daughter Zoe has opened a storage jewelry store.
Count Malen put his hand on the sensor ball and closed his eyes silently.
"Zoe's location is more than thirty kilometers southwest of Bangcheng."
"That's the suburbs."
"I don't know how she avoided the patrolling soldiers."
Count Mullen told his wife the location.
She immediately got up and went to find the housekeeper to contact the rangers.
Earl Mullen shook his head, his wife really doted on Zoe too much.
At this time, a liaison officer from the city defense army in the castle knocked on the door and came in.
He is responsible for reporting major security incidents in the city.
"Sir, not long ago, a vicious murder occurred in the dock market!"
