Faced with the attentive statement of the kobold chief Dutra.
Zong Shen just smiled, looked directly into Dutra's vertical pupils, and responded in a very calm tone.
"The Azshara Mine is just the beginning."
"I don't need useless courtesy."
"But remember what you said, let the bastards dig out the mine!"
"The territory still needs more pups to breed more and lay more eggs. I guarantee that the underground kobold group will get enough supplies."
He reached out and patted Dutra's shoulder gently.
Dutra was deeply inspired by such behavior.
Because Zong Shen's words were full of recognition of the underground kobolds.
As a born miner, the territory needs them!
As for the Lord's request to let them reproduce more and lay more eggs, it is not difficult to achieve.
The reproductive ability of kobolds is extremely strong, only slightly inferior to perverted races like goblins.
However, under the same population base, the bloodline degeneration rate of offspring is much lower.
Moreover, the growth cycle of kobolds is extremely short, and the cubs will soon reach adulthood and take on the responsibilities of labor and reproduction.
As long as the safety and food supply of the kobolds are ensured, they can reproduce unscrupulously.
This is what Zong Shen is happy to see.
You must know that in addition to the Azshara mining area, the territory also has a gem mine that needs to be developed urgently.
In the Azshara mining area alone, the number of miners required for optimal production efficiency reaches five figures.
It is conservatively estimated that the gem mine will require one to two thousand miners.
In addition, the mining of gem mines is more complicated than that of composite mines, and skilled miners will need to be dispatched to explore and complete the initial mining.
After all, the gem mine has not undergone large-scale development, and even the mine tunnels need to be dug and reinforced.
If you send out crypt kobolds, you don't even need to arrange excavation machinery.
The kobold's claws are natural digging tools.
So he did have high hopes for the Crypt Kobold tribe.
If Dutra can lead the group to multiply to thousands as soon as possible, Zong Shen will ask Xiao Heizi to send his red-scaled kobold relatives to breed the two kinds of kobolds to eliminate part of the bloodline degeneration rate.
Maybe it can expand the group to tens of thousands.
Of course, this is based on the fact that no new kobold family members will join the territory in the future.
After a moment of silence, he motioned for Dutra to take a seat.
Then he looked at senior agronomist Salome.
And he took out [The Vitality Branch of the Descendant World Tree (Year Light Level 7)] from his portable storage compartment.
It comes from one of the rewards of opening the Azshara Mine.
As a high-end brilliance-level item, it has multiple active skills.
And they are all aimed at the promotion and strengthening of plants and tree spirits.
for example:
[Tree Flexibility] can transform ordinary trees into aggressive tree spirits, but the growth rate is low.
[Green Spirit Essence] can absorb essence from plants and trees and convert it into Green Spirit Dew. This is a treasure whose effect exceeds that of Luna Spring Water.
[Attune to Growth] can be used on natural plants or tree spirits in the growth stage to shorten their growth time.
In the future, there will be active/passive effects of [Dead Trees Blooming in Spring], [Vital Rain and Dew], [Plant Fusion], [Seed Transformation] and [Plant Vision].
In addition, it can be converted into a life span of 9999 years by consuming all the vitality of the branches at one time and extending the life after one dry life.
From a functional point of view, this item is most suitable for Salome Linyu.
However, it was previously considered that Salome was not yet a hero, and his qualifications were not as good as those of his old henchmen.
Therefore, Zong Shen originally planned to give this [Vitality Branch of the Descendant World Tree (Year Level 7)] to Mariel for control and use.
But looking at it now, it is most suitable to leave it to Salome.
As for the identity of the hero, it is easy to solve.
He has a lot of orange and gold quality [Hero Emblem] on hand.
The territory now needs qualified and dedicated agronomists, and Salome Linyu is the only candidate.
He is dedicated and dedicated enough, and he is also a natural druid and an agronomist with a senior professional title.
As long as Zong Shen is willing to allocate some resources to him, training him will be no problem.
It is based on this consideration that he definitely gave Salome more trust and greater authority.
Seeing the lord holding a branch full of vitality and looking at her, Salome quickly left her seat, stood behind the chair and bowed.
Anyone with a bit of vision can see what the lord is going to do.
His reaction was quite clever. Zong Shen placed the branch on the edge of the table and gave Salome instructions loudly.
"Salome, you have been taking an hour off every day recently to let Reese Ulysses take you to the mining area.
"It is your responsibility to assist Dutra in planting this tree spirit seed in the most suitable location in the mining area."
After finishing speaking, he waved to Salome Lin Yu, who just straightened up and nodded in agreement.
"Come to me."
"This [vital branch of the Descendants World Tree] will be left to your safekeeping for the time being."
"It is very precious and must be preserved carefully!"
After Zong Shen spoke.
Salome hurriedly came to him with her head lowered.
He knelt down on one knee, raised his hands high, and took over this precious branch of the descendant world.
Holding it in the palm of my hand lovingly, I stared at it closely, for fear that it would suddenly disappear.
Speaking of which, although Salome was a Druid, when he was born, the World Tree had withered for many years, and the Well of Eternity was destroyed in the Big Bang.
This is a pity for Salome.
But now, this regret has been compensated to a certain extent.
Even if this branch is just a descendant of the World Tree, it still has far-reaching significance.
Salome stared, her eyes filled with tears.
Zong Shen was also slightly moved.
On weekdays, Salome Linyu’s personality label is quite distinct.
He is dedicated, has a natural love for nature and plants, and is also very fond of land and harvest.
In addition, he did not rigidly abide by the secret of the balance of all things, but sincerely devoted himself to the agricultural development of the territory.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In Zong Shen’s opinion, such people have many excellent characteristics.
You can definitely be trained as a confidant, and you are destined to become an excellent "model worker."
But now, Zong Shen feels that Salome has a little more sensibility or fresh humanity in her body.
Compared with the expressionless Salome, the tearful Salome moved Zong Shen more.
Zong Shen went without disturbing Salome, but poured himself a drink.
After he almost calmed down, he took out another item.
One [Hero Emblem (Orange)].
It was also handed over to him solemnly.
By the way, Zong Shen also briefly introduced the uses of the two items.
Strictly speaking, this [branch of the Descendant World Tree (7th level of Shining Light Level)] is the highest-level item he has gifted to his subordinates so far.
So it aroused the envy of everyone present.
Salome couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes with her wrist.
Then he knelt down respectfully and swore in a low voice with a trembling but firm voice.
"Thank you for your trust, sir."
"Salome Linyu will die for you."
"From now on, my life, flesh, soul and knowledge belong to you!"
This time during the oath, he did not say anything about regaining his glory, nor did he perform Druid etiquette.
Instead, he sincerely chose to dedicate himself.
Such an action means that loyalty has exceeded the MAX limit of 100 points.
Sure enough, a bold prompt appeared.
【Because of your gift and trust】
[The loyalty of the territorial citizen Salome Linyu to you has been super-improved, breaking through the MAX limit, and achieving life and death companionship]
【Life and death follow each other】
[Salome Linyu will always follow you, life and death]
…
Zong Shen looked at the overbearing reminder in front of him and smiled happily.
Then he lifted up Salome, who was kneeling on the ground, with both hands.
"I will not let you down."
In response, Zong Shen gave a rather straightforward answer.
After all, this is the second territory citizen to break through the MAX limit of loyalty.
The first is Mariel (Chapter 637).
You must know that it is not easy to continue to improve beyond 100 points to the point of breaking through the boundaries.
Even Colby, who worshiped Zong Shen fervently and had the opportunity to be infused with the power of the Wild Wolf Clan's totem, could not break through this threshold.
Luna, who was pregnant with the little lord, also failed to break the boundaries.
Because in addition to emotional factors, breaking through the MAX boundary also requires certain external conditions.
It’s not just about the rewards of items.
It also requires a certain level of fit and heartfelt trust.
For example, when Mariel broke through the boundary, Zong Shen rewarded her with high-level tribune series equipment.
At the same time, it was also the highest-level equipment that was awarded at that time.
Mariel and the equipment of the Tribune series fit well together, so I just let it go and pushed the boundaries.
The same is true for Salome Linyu's breakthrough this time.
[The branches of the Descendants World Tree (Year Light Level 7)] are very consistent with his compatibility.
Moreover, level 7 of Glory Level is also the upper limit of the level of the items rewarded by the current subjects.
Both situations reflected Zong Shen's trust.
Because if there is a lack of trust, high-level items will not be rewarded.
After Salome's excitement calmed down, she put away the two items with a serious expression, and with Zong Shen's permission, she slowly stepped back and returned to her seat.
Next, Zong Shen took out a large number of [Blood-Burning Spears].
All come from the collection accumulated by the fear lord Banahar for thousands of years.
At that time, it got more than 800 spears, so now it just waved its hand and gave two spears to everyone present except [Night Prayer Sophie].
This thing is just a throwing weapon to Banahar, but it has a blood-burning effect after all.
Territory heroes can use it as a slashing weapon.
It can be considered a killer weapon.
After all, the blood-burning effect is so overbearing that even the Fire Demon BOSS was hit by it.
The percentage of blood deduction, as long as it takes effect successfully, even the super giant monster can't withstand it.
This was a trick Zong Shen prepared for everyone before leaving the territory.
After completing the assignment, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he hooked his fingers at the little Heizi who transformed into a human.
Nowadays, Xiao Heizi has already restrained all his unruliness and the ferocity of the evil dragon.
He was sincerely convinced of Zong Shen.
When the two get along, it is no longer a five-color dragon but a loyal dog.
This description may have a derogatory meaning, but it is a true portrayal of Xiao Heizi's change in attitude towards Zong Shen.
"Master, I'm waiting for your orders!"
He stood up and performed an aristocratic chest-stroking ceremony in a decent manner.
Zong Shen took out the emptied [Pascal Contract's Big Bag (Gold)], held it in his hand and said.
"Xiao Heizi, I have a task for you."
"You can set out later, bring your big bag, and I will give you a few locations with obvious reference scenery."
"I will give you three days at the same time. I hope that when you return, you can convince me and bring back enough dependents."
"The territory needs manpower, so I selected these ethnic groups with higher intelligence and combat capabilities for you..."
As Zong Shen spoke, he directly activated [Wandering Walk], crossed a distance of seven or eight meters to Xiao Heizi's side, and took out a piece of parchment with the location marked in advance, along with [Pascal's Contract's Big Pocket]
(gold)] were stuffed into Xiao Heizi’s hands together.
After receiving the order, Xiao Heizi saluted again and took the two items with both hands.
Its intelligence is not low, especially after suppressing evil thoughts, it can think more focused.
Completely capable of independently executing the ability to subdue his dependents.
Coupled with the old dragon-level ancestral strength it now possesses, this mission is even more manageable.
On that piece of parchment, Zong Shen gave it a total of five goals to overwhelm the ethnic group.
They are a group of aberrant kobolds, a group of half-dragons, two groups of troglodytes and a wyvern lair.
They are located within tens of thousands of kilometers around the territory.
Plus traveling back and forth between the territories of different ethnic groups.
According to Xiao Heizi's flying speed, three days is still a bit tight.
Here it depends on Xiao Heizi's execution ability.
As long as its coercion efficiency is high enough, then it's totally time.
The space inside the big pocket is enough to accommodate these five groups, whose total number does not exceed 10,000.
Considering the time factor, and the dinner party is basically over.
Zong Shen decided to let Xiao Heizi set off immediately.
After three days, return to the territory and wait for his return.
At that time, Zong Shen will take Xiao Heizi to the giant city of Lentax to see the world.
"Then let's set off now."
When Xiao Heizi heard what he said, he didn't dare to show any slightness and quickly nodded in agreement.
Then he stopped lingering and left the Lord's Fortress while looking at the parchment information in his hand.
As soon as it walked out of the small courtyard, it released its transformation spell and returned to its true form as a black dragon.
Flap away with huge black wings that cover the sky!
The sound of flapping wings could be heard even in the Lord's Hall.
When the height increased, the dark body was completely hidden in the night.
The clouds at night become the best curtain, and the dark night is a natural protective color.
Seeing the black dragon leaving, Lan Xiaodai, who had been holding Jeanne's thigh, began to scream "chichijiji".
It feels like the big dragon is not at home and the little dragon is the king.
When Xiao Heizi was here just now, the little guy was so honest!
