After a little observation, Zong Shen patted Bajie and walked towards Xitano Village.

It is still the same entrance to the village as when I first came.

This time, the militia soldiers outside the village still had an impression of Zong Shen.

Because the mount Bajie underneath him is really eye-catching.

In addition, this time he also brought a small team of Immortal Lancers.

Compared with other lords, this formation is of a completely different level.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. When the other lords saw Zong Shen, they all stood where they were.

Some lords have already recognized his identity. After all, there has been too much activity in killing the regional boss challenge before, and it is also the only one in the whole region.

Since him, no lord in other regions has been able to kill the regional challenge boss.

Zong Shen's status as the strongest lord in the region has been confirmed.

This point is basically a consensus in the region, and even the arrogant lords have to be convinced.

Besides Zong Shen, which other lord can be worthy of five splendid global banner notifications?

Not only the lords in this region, but also the lords in other regions.

There are even many lords who regard Zong Shen as a kind of faith and sustenance.

Call him Zongshen, which means a great god who appears among the lords.

Of course, some people praise it, and some people despise it.

There are also some lords who get pleasure from belittling Zong Shen.

It seems to be no different from the network ecology on earth.

But all this has nothing to do with Zong Shen, no matter whether other lords are stepping on him or praising him.

Neither of them can have much impact on anyone else.

He is not like other lords who need to rely on water channels to kill time in their free time.

Zong Shen's life is very busy every day. There are too many things that need to be prepared to build a territory.

As the size of the territory expands, the corresponding daily tasks that need to be handled will also increase exponentially.

This situation will become more and more obvious as the territory is formalized.

The territory is still autocracy now, with Zong Shen as the core of power and using loyalty as a restriction to completely control the power of the territory.

After the peasant reforms are implemented and farmers are transformed into "free citizens", although the enthusiasm for labor will be greatly increased, there will never be less trivial things for those bosses to take advantage of the family's shortcomings.

This phenomenon is also normal. Even if the lord is loyal, he cannot avoid the people's livelihood.

This requires many heroic talents to form a complete set of management nodes from the grassroots to the top.

As for now, Zong Shen is still split into two people, and the increase in hero-level talents cannot keep up with the development of the territory.

So this time I went to Bangcheng Zongshen for another purpose, which was to see if there were any potential heroic talents like Mariel among the amateurs in Bangcheng.

Even if the qualifications are not high, it doesn't matter. The future development of the territory requires not only high-end talents, but also some hero-level talents with low qualifications who are responsible for managing the grassroots.

Therefore, Zong Shen has no interest in chatting on the [Channel], and he usually has no intention to pay attention to it.

I just occasionally use my spare time to take a look at [World Channel] to see if there are any major events that everyone is talking about.

When Zong Shen walked to the entrance of the village, the militia guards quickly saluted.

Without any questioning, they opened the way into the village and let him into the village.

This naked privilege made the lords who were waiting for questioning and entering the village envious.

As expected of a boss, even the aboriginals have to give him face!

This time Zong Shen even made an exception and entered the village with his mount.

Bajie's huge size immediately occupied about one-third of the village streets.

The Immortal Lancers at the rear were divided into six groups, two by two, and marched side by side along the village road.

The villagers walking on the road moved out of the way.

I thought it was some noble man from the city who "condescended" to come to the village of Citano.

This posture and pomp are beyond words.

However, Zong Shen did not show off his power, and asked Bajie to advance carefully in the village with a calm expression.

The same goes for the Immortal Lancers at the back, and the scene is quite harmonious.

Soon they arrived at the square in the center of the village, which was still so lively.

All the traveling merchants and small vendors in the village were shouting hard.

Most of the goods sold by traveling merchants are specialties from other regions.

The local vendors basically sell some basic handmade products.

Zong Shen just took a look and continued walking along the main road in the village without stopping.

A few hundred meters ahead is Mr. Mars' house in the village.

That spacious house is definitely the only one in the village.

This time he came unexpectedly, and no one informed Mr. Mars.

It was past nine o'clock in the morning. When Zong Shen came to the door of the house, he saw Mr. Mars wearing a nightgown, holding a petite and young chestnut-haired girl in one hand, and holding the shower head in one hand.

watering flowers in the yard.

There was a maid waiting respectfully behind him with two cups of steaming coffee.

The chestnut-haired girl has an excellent figure, with a curvy front and back. She looks to be a few years older than Mariel.

"Good guy, no wonder this old guy agreed to let Mariel join the territory!"

"Sure enough, there is a deep love between father and daughter!"

Zong Shen complained crazily in his heart.

Such a large group of people gathered outside his mansion, but no one opened the door to receive them.

Zong Shen passed through the barrier and coughed hard several times.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Master Mars!"

This can be regarded as attracting the attention of Mr. Mars and the servants.

They all turned their heads and looked outside the fence.

"Eh? Master Zong?"

"Why are you here?"

Mr. Mars said with some surprise, he let go of the beautiful lady beside him, walked to the door, and opened the door of the mansion himself.

His yard was spacious enough, and Zong Shen rode Bajie directly into the yard with Luna and the cavalry team.

Then Zong Shen nimbly rolled off Bajie's back, looking at Mr. Mars with a playful expression, and then at the beautiful girl not far away.

"Oh, it seems that Mr. Mars' life has become more and more prosperous during the days when Mariel is away!"

Zong Shen joked slowly, emphasizing the word "run" very hard.

Mr. Mars scratched his head in embarrassment, smiled flatteringly, and began to change the topic.

"What's the matter with your visit this time?"

"Still need to purchase any supplies?"

Zong Shen waved his hand after hearing this and took out the five-pointed star token that Mr. Mars had given him before from the storage compartment.

"I'm going to leave for Bosibon right away, just in time to help you get back your father's inheritance."

"I'll find a way to get into that Evans manor."

Yes, this is exactly the mission that Mr. Mars left for Zong Shen after sending Mariel to the territory.

[Mission: Retrieve father’s inheritance]

[Requirement: Enter the magic secret room of the manor’s wine cellar and retrieve the legacy left by Mr. Mars’ father’s generation]

[Reward: [Avalon Knight Trial Badge x1], get back half of the property]

That five-pointed star token is the key to the magic chamber.

Due to the crypt challenge, it was inconvenient for Zong Shen to go to Bosi State, so he took this opportunity to go to Bosi State to complete it.

Hearing what Zong Shen said, Mr. Mars was also a little excited.

That inheritance is not a small amount, but it is not easy to sneak into the Evans Manor.

Mars just gave a brief explanation before and did not go into details.
