Chapter 1,312 The characteristics of the northern border interfere with good things
If we delve deeper into the reason for this phenomenon, it is still due to the poverty of the local area.
The Land of Snowflakes is just a microcosm of the many nearby cities.
The harsh environment, sparse population, and sensitivity of the area itself all destined it to be abandoned by the Kingdom of Vaegia.
You must know that among the seven human kingdoms, the largest one is the Kingdom of Vigia.
The vast territory and abundant resources are the best way to describe this kingdom.
And this does not include the large area of permafrost land north of the Great Wall of Despair.
Although the severe cold has affected the agriculture and animal husbandry here, the vast land has enriched the Kingdom of Vigia with rich mineral resources.
This allowed Vaegia to have relatively excellent forging workshops and mechanical workshops.
Mineral resources are purely a gift from God.
There are few people in the Endless Continent, and there is no shortage of minerals in most areas.
But they are not as rich in mineral resources as the Kingdom of Virginia.
The lords who came to the north to do business through the [market] are mainly divided into two categories.
The first type includes various specialties from the North, including rare ingredients that are only produced in the North.
The second type is ingots and semi-finished products of various metal minerals.
The price is not cheap, but the variety is rich.
Therefore, it did not affect Zong Shen’s business of selling raw ore.
Azshara's mine is indeed enough to support the territory in the early stages.
However, as the lords develop simultaneously, the total amount of resource acquisition will also soar.
Wait until the [market] resource pool expands to a certain extent.
The output of Azshara's mines is nothing.
At that time, price competition will inevitably occur.
Therefore, Zong Shen focused on conquering the giant city of Lentax shortly after the defensive challenge ended.
It seems that snatching is the simplest and crudest method, and it is also the best way to solve the current problem.
This is not to say that production and construction are not good.
It's that the speed of production and construction in Zongshen's territory cannot keep up with the speed of development and change.
The lord's privileges are inherently overbearing and can shorten the construction time of a city that normally takes hundreds of years by dozens of times.
And Mr. Zong is the best among the lords, and his progress is far ahead. After these two factors are superimposed.
It is difficult for conventional production and construction to keep up with the pace of development.
It's like a diesel locomotive running at full speed with a rake attached behind it.
Incompatibility is the biggest problem.
But this situation is harmless and is a "sweet trouble" after all.
This is something that weak lords cannot understand.
Back to topic.
Against the above background, the situation of the Kingdom of Vigia can be roughly summarized as follows:
There are few people in the land, many mines and few fields, and the diversity of materials is poor, but the metal mines are extremely rich.
Zong Shen shook his head slightly, he was very interested in the northern land.
If he could conquer the whole continent in the future.
Then the north is very suitable as an "industrial area".
At that time, the technical talents of the Three Fort dwarves, goblins, and northern workshops can be used to manufacture powerful weapons and equipment and magical mechanical products for the entire continent.
In fact, each of the seven kingdoms today has its own characteristics.
It can't be seen even after being dispersed.
However, if they can be gathered together, the combat power level and war potential of the entire Endless Continent can be increased several times.
The city of Snowflakes fits this poetic name very well.
It's just that as a state city in a no-nonsense zone, it looks a bit bleak.
More than 100,000 kilometers around here are real buffer zones.
It is also a partial intersection of the three kingdoms of Vaegia, Nord, and Swadia.
In comparison, the Church of Calamity Raven, which occupies Jackdaw Valley here, is nothing.
Maybe it's to keep the buffer zone calm.
This state city was tacitly handed over to the church, which essentially showed that the Kingdom of Vigia did not pay enough attention to this area.
In addition, there is one more thing.
That means the lords in the north are more sparsely distributed.
When it first came.
The place where Zong Shen is located is an area of 200 kilometers x 200 kilometers.
An average of 10,000 lords descended on each area.
But in the north, 400 kilometers x 400 kilometers is an area.
There are also 10,000 lords coming, but the distribution density is much sparser than in the Kingdom of Avalon.
The former is an area of 40,000 square kilometers.
The latter is an area of 160,000 square kilometers.
This situation makes the lords in the north more sparse and fighting with each other less.
Using the [Market], the northern lords buy most of all kinds of food.
Although mushrooms are delicious, they cannot be eaten as food.
This is a true portrayal of regional disparity.
Zong Shen rode [Hell Dark Nightmare·Hamis] towards the core area below.
There are not too many outstanding buildings in this silver-covered city.
In addition to the towers scattered throughout the city, the tallest building is undoubtedly the castle located in the core area.
It was different from the aboriginal castles Zong Shen had seen before.
The appearance of this castle in the Land of Snowflakes is more retro.
The surfaces of the towers in series are covered with white layers of ice. At first glance, they look like they are made of ice.
But if you look closely, you can see that the ice on the windows and doors has been chipped away.
After all, this is a castle for people to live in, not an ice coffin.
But there are no gardens nearby like other castles.
There is no green vitality or colorful flowers.
Since the Land of Snowflakes belongs to Jackdaw Valley, the local ruler, Viscount Huberto Holt, must be a believer in the Calamity Raven Church.
Even most of the residents in this state city should be believers.
This is almost a necessary condition for areas controlled by church forces.
Faith is a very stubborn force.
For the major kingdoms, it can be described as "pollution".
This is also the reason why the seven major human kingdoms keep a distance from the power of the church.
The strategy module is positioning and navigating for Zong Shen, showing the location of Mai Raven in real time.
At this time, Mai was in a room on the third floor of Viscount Huberto's castle.
Speaking of which, the defenses in this land of snowflakes are quite lax.
Zong Shen and Hamis did not deliberately hide their bodies after they fell.
It's just flying in the air about a thousand meters above the ground.
Under such circumstances, Zong Shen did not receive any attack or counterattack.
The airspace in the entire land of snowflakes is actually completely undefended.
In fact, this was Zong Shen who had wronged the Snow Flower Village.
After all, it is a serious state city, and anti-aircraft defense must be deployed here.
There are still defensive equipment such as giant crossbows.
It's just that the sky here is filled with snow, and the anti-air range of many instruments has been seriously affected.
With Zong Shen and Khamis cruising and flying at an altitude of about 1,000 meters above the ground, those giant crossbows could not even lock on due to severe interference from wind and snow.
But no matter what, this kind of thing naturally has more advantages than disadvantages for Zong Shen.
If he really encountered a defensive counterattack, he would inevitably take action.
At that time, it will make this small town, which is not already wealthy, even worse.
In fact, from another perspective, this small town is still very beautiful.
Khamis is not like Zong Shen who has the leisure and elegance to enjoy the snow scenery.
As a hell creature, it doesn't like such a cold environment.
Even for Hamis's legendary physique, this bit of coldness is nothing.
But it still hates it.
Its four hooves were on fire, and wisps of black smoke were floating in the misty sky with flying snow.
When the master and servant came within a few kilometers of the castle.
Zong Shen patted Hamis's neck, and the guy understood immediately, snorted and flew upwards.
Zong Shen, who was originally riding on it, had already disappeared.
[Flicker of the Phantom God] You can come and go here freely without any influence.
The next moment, Zong Shen had arrived at the castle.
Even though the castle is almost completely covered with ice on the surface, it is still very dry and warm inside.
The warm fireplace and the fire magic circle with heating function make the place dry and warm.
Zong Shen flashed directly into the room where Mai Raven was.
At this time, he was rolling around on the bed.
There was a young girl rolling with him.
Both parties were very involved, and the thick hardwood bed frame was creaking.
Zong Shen, who was standing nearby, had a vague illusion that the floor was shaking.
Because the two of them were so focused on me, Mai Raven didn't even notice anyone coming.
Of course, this is also because the energy level of [Fantasy God Flash] is relatively high, and the spatial fluctuations caused when it moves are almost undetectable.
Gasps and murmurs were heard constantly.
This Maiy Raven is very elegant, and he didn't forget to give in-depth guidance to the lost girl when he came to collect his teaching tax.
He also wanted to pass on hundreds of millions of mysteries to her.
This professionalism made everyone in Zong feel awe-inspiring.
And judging from the clothes hanging nearby, the other party should not be a civilian.
It is estimated that they are relatives of Viscount Huberto.
But at this time, he had no interest in appreciating Mai Raven's preaching, giving liquids and solving doubts.
So after a slight pause, he coughed a few times.
"Cough cough cough..."
This time, Mai Raven finally noticed someone was present.
He suddenly became intense.
The girl couldn't help but scream.
Under the enthusiasm, the hot mysteries surged out, and her little thinking channel was a little unable to accept it.
Mai Raven's old face was red, and she quickly took out the short stick that became wet due to the humid environment and the staff with raven carvings.
Invisible spell models are constructed instantaneously.
At the same time, he turned back suddenly.
After seeing that it was Zong Shen, Mai Raven immediately withered.
The formed spell was instantly destroyed and turned into a wisp of smoke.
The girl curled up into the quilt, but Mai himself stood up and put on a red robe.
Seeing this scene, Zong Shen felt a rare feeling of guilt that he understood.
She gave him a rare polite nod.
"No intention of disturbing."
"But Your Excellency Bishop, there is something very important that requires your cooperation this time."
Zong Shenyan said concisely and concisely.
Hearing this, the blush on Mai Raven's face quickly faded.
He still didn't have the guts to lose his temper with Zong Shen.
At the same time, he also understands priorities.
After giving the girl an apologetic look, he grabbed his clothes and left with Zong Shen.
Once outside, Mai Raven put on a full outfit.
The thick red robe was draped behind him, making him look like a bishop again.
"What's wrong with you, do you have to be in such a hurry?"
Mai Raven asked softly.
There was a bit of complaint in his tone, and Zong Shen scratched his head. He could understand the other party's mood.
Anyone would be unhappy if they were disturbed while doing their work.
The Lord's Fortress has spatial isolation, so he doesn't have this problem.
As for the outdoors….
He rarely does this kind of flowery work.
Facing Mai Raven's inquiry, Zong Shen had no intention of hiding anything.
He said straightforwardly.
"I want you to accompany me to the giant city of Lentax."
As soon as these words came out, Mai Raven suddenly looked confused.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked curiously.
"Lentax, isn't that place completely vacant?"
The Calamity Raven Church was taken advantage of by Zong Shen, and their plan to conquer the giant city of Lentax was completely shattered.
So Mai Raven didn't know much about the subsequent situation there.
Under this premise, it is normal for him to have such doubts.
Zong Shen had no intention of hiding this, and told him roughly the situation there.
It just omitted the lord part and formed the lords into a large group of gangsters.
While the two were chatting, they came to the living room on the third floor.
It can be seen that this guy regards Viscount Huberto's castle as his own back garden.
So these church guys are not necessarily very pure.
At least Mai Raven is by no means a pure bishop.
The reason why the old bishop liked him was just because he was smart.
And wisdom happens to be the hope of reviving the Calamity Raven Church.
At the level of power development, intelligence is more important than fanaticism and piety.
After listening to Zong Shen's words, Mai Raven was stunned.
"What...what gangster can actually gather tens of millions of people?"
Zong Shen shrugged and said he didn't know.
This topic cannot be explained to him in depth, and it cannot be explained.
The Lord system will perform silence processing.
As for taking the risk to pass the truth to Mai Raven, there is no need.
You may not know what kind of punishment you will receive if you do this.
Mai Raven had a thoughtful look on her face and was silent for a moment before continuing.
"So you plan to use Prince Carter to negotiate with Archduke Jonathan in advance?"
Zong Shen nodded, that's what happened.
But he guessed that Grand Duke Jonathan was not that easy to fool.
So he was also prepared to speak out.
No matter what, Prince Carter cannot be beaten into his hands.
Anyway, I have to find a way to get some good things.
After all, he is a prince recognized by the people of the kingdom, so he must still be valuable.
Mai Raven tilted her head worriedly.
"Then I have to bring some elites with me..."
On the surface, the Calamity Raven Church plundered the entire giant city of Lentax.
With such hatred, I'm afraid Grand Duke Jonathan would like to skin him alive.
If Mai Raven went to the meeting alone, he would really be a little timid.
But Zong Shen smiled casually and said comfortingly.
"Don't worry, I'm responsible for your safety."
These words instantly calmed down Mai Raven a lot.
Zong Shen can fight against the projection of God, and his protection is more than enough!
