The three choices presented by Zong Shen basically cover most of the decisions Penny can make.
In fact, for her, the issue at the moment is nothing more than staying or leaving.
At least Zong Shen expressed his willingness to let her take the Lancaster family out of the territory and live a relatively free life.
With tens of millions of dinars at your disposal, you can live a prosperous life in any city by letting your family use a pseudonym.
Of course, it is still impossible to return to the quality of life when the Marquis was in charge of the giant city of Lentax.
And Penny seems to be able to take a lot of pressure off her shoulders.
She is interested in gardening and tailoring, and she can definitely pursue related careers.
At the same time, he lived a normal life.
This made Penny very hesitant.
But after Zong Shen opened up and spoke, she took the opportunity to re-examine her heart.
What exactly does she want?
What is the meaning of what is carried on the body?
After joining the territory, she learned about the Chosen One and the change of era.
I know very well in my heart that the changes brewing in the Kingdom of Avalon and even all the kingdoms in the Endless Continent are foreboding.
They are paving the way for a new era.
Only the chosen ones are qualified to become the masters of the next era.
As a noble of the old generation, the Lancaster family will become a stepping stone sooner or later.
Even without the intervention of a series of people or things such as Prince Carter and Grand Duke Jonathan, the fate of the giant city of Lentax would be difficult to change in the new era.
This was the cruelest reality before her eyes.
Comparatively speaking, joining Zong Shen's command is actually a blessing among misfortunes.
At the very least, Zong Shen is not a bad person, and he is considered a relatively outstanding figure among the Chosen Ones. He will have a great chance to stand out in the new era in the future.
Following Zong Shen, there is still a good chance of restoring the family's glory.
This matter is actually where Penny's heart knots.
She thinks she has harmed the family.
If she hadn't been bewitched and possessed by the inheritance of Blood Rose.
How could he take the initiative to seduce the second prince Carter and want to get the entire giant city?
And her recent confusion is also due to this reason.
She always felt that she was a sinner and was incompatible with other heroic talents in the territory.
Now in Zong Shen's place, she unconsciously started to review it.
I was suddenly shocked to realize how wrong my previous state was!
“…”
She took a deep breath,
Finally, he raised his head and looked at Zong Shen who was waiting beside him with firm eyes.
"Lord, I think I have made a decision."
"oh?"
"Which one do you choose?"
Zong Shen always had a plain smile on his face.
He asked in a gentle tone, seemingly calm.
It eased the tension in Penny's heart.
"I choose the third one."
"I am willing to study municipal management and work from the middle or bottom level!"
"From now on I will dedicate everything to you!"
When she said these words, her tone was extremely firm.
Zong Shen nodded.
"good."
"But you have to understand that you will have no chance to regret it in the future."
He said sternly: "Because going back on your word is equivalent to betrayal."
Zong Shen's answer didn't contain any harsh words, but it made Penny feel a deep chill.
This is a warning as well as an explanation.
She must be aware enough after making a decision.
And there will no longer be a chance to regret.
Zong Shen is very tolerant, but he will not allow Penny to jump repeatedly in front of him.
If Penny doesn't know what's interesting, then he will show his cruel side.
"Understood…"
Upon hearing this, Penny quickly knelt down on one knee and replied in a stunned tone.
At this time, Zong Shen smiled again and even extended his hand.
"Get up."
"Let's go and see what's going on at the Church of the Holy Light in Akaru."
The complete building can be erected very quickly.
He planned to go to the vast land in the mountains to the north of the territory to see the construction of the church.
If the construction is completed, the holy water will be drunk directly.
It can also strengthen Aisiya again.
Moreover, holy water is different from [Holy Power Crystal] and is a renewable resource.
It can be regarded as the product of auxiliary buildings.
Even if the output is slow, there is still room for other outstanding Holy Light units in the territory to drink holy water to strengthen themselves.
Therefore, the practicality of Akaru Holy Light Church is still very good.
Zong Shen took the hands of the two girls and directly activated [Fantasy God Flash] to disappear from the place.
…
Kingdom of Avalon, a giant black-leaf city near the northern border.
The teleportation array here is extremely busy.
It is flashing and transmitting at fixed intervals and frequencies.
From time to time, a large group of people would leave the teleportation point and walk out of the passage under the watchful eyes of the high-ranking garrison.
Among the new batch of people teleported over, there were several figures wearing black cloaks.
Among them is Chen Rui.
It took him less than half a month to finally arrive at the Kingdom of Avalon from the territory of the Kugit Kingdom.
Of course, there is still a long way to go from the north to the northeast of the Kingdom of Avalon.
I estimate it will take a few days to arrive.
In order to see Zong Shen this side, he wasted a lot of time.
Fortunately, everything was arranged before leaving.
If it's quick, he can return within a month of going back and forth.
The construction and development of the territory will not be slowed down too much.
And his own strength has a lot of margin, so it won't be delayed much.
Because his individual strength has already encountered a bottleneck.
But if he could see Zong Shen in person, he could try to communicate with him.
Discuss in advance ways to resolve the situation together.
He had prepared for this day a long time ago.
He spared no effort to obtain a special rare object.
Able to circumvent the ban and detection of the lord system in a short period of time.
In this way, he could tell Zong Shen the truth about the prologue and the subsequent disaster.
It was a catastrophe concerning the fate of all lords.
No one can be alone.
Because at that time, all the lords had no choice.
Either win or die!
It is almost impossible to resist alone.
Unless we can unify the entire continent before the end of the decade.
But as far as Chen Rui knows, this is simply impossible to do.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not to mention the cause of unifying the continent, even the struggle for kingdom hegemony has just begun ten years later!
Of course, in his last life, he did not rise as strongly as Zong Shen.
Now Zong Shen's development speed has far exceeded the strongest lord he knew at the same time in his previous life, and he has great hope of becoming a game-breaker.
So Chen Rui placed his future in him.
That's why I would rather spend so much time traveling and come to Avalon to meet Zong Shen!
For him, this investment of time is completely worth it.
Even Zong Shen would be wary of him for a while and unwilling to cooperate.
You can also plant a seed in advance.
When omens appear one after another in the future, Zong Shen will definitely remember his advice.
At that time, both parties will have the prerequisite for cooperation.
It is with this thought in mind.
Chen Ruicai finally decided to leave.
And he was also very curious about what Zong Shen's territory looked like.
Compared to Buddhist sects, Chen Rui often pays attention to [Channel] information.
He noticed that Zong Shen had recently posted photos of the territory.
Although it is only an ultra-wide-angle distant view from a specific angle, it still shows the vastness of the territory.
For Chen Rui, the variable Zong Shen is the hope to survive the catastrophe.
It is also the goal of comparison for his self-development.
He was very curious about how big the gap was between himself and Zong Shen!
And what is it that makes Zong Shen, a little-known guy in his previous life, more powerful than he, a reborn person!
Walking in the giant black leaf city.
Chen Rui was not in a hurry and teleported to the next station immediately.
Instead, we strolled around the shopping streets in the city as usual and bought some local specialties.
At the same time, find a place to take a short rest, summarize and sort out the recent situation, and compare the timeline of events that you know in your mind.
Due to the emergence of variables, the butterfly's wings flap quietly.
The course of many things has been changed.
Fortunately, the general development context is still the same. In other words, the main line has not changed.
And the same is true for those chance clues that Chen Rui knew.
This time he came to visit Zong Shen, and he was also planning to join forces with Zong Shen to explore the ruins.
Firstly, it is used as a meeting gift, and secondly, it can bring the relationship between the two parties closer during the process of exploring the ruins.
He firmly believes that even if the Zong Shen family has a great cause, they will definitely not be able to resist the temptation of exploring the ruins. This is a good thing that almost all lords cannot refuse!
So he first walked around the shopping street, and then found a pretty good pub.
With a tip of 50 dinars, I got the information I wanted from the bartender.
Including the situation of the Black Leaf Giant City, as well as recent major events in the Kingdom of Avalon.
The vast geographical area will cause the speed of information dissemination to be relatively slow.
But the tavern in the giant city is always an exception.
The speed of information circulation here is second only to those of specialized intelligence departments.
Although there is a lag in the news about various places in the kingdom in the tavern, it is much shorter than other channels in comparison.
"Archduke Jonathan led tens of millions of elites to fight a group of bandits of unknown origin at the site of the giant city of Lentax?"
This news made Chen Rui frown slightly.
He knew about the giant city of Lentax and that it was captured by Zong Shen.
After all, there was too much movement at the time, and many witnesses took pictures and sent them to the [channel].
For him, an "old fritter" who frequents the water channel.
Of course you won't miss this.
But the archduke named Jonathan assembled tens of millions of troops to fight the so-called "bandits" at the old site of the giant city of Lentax, but it did involve his information blind spot.
Intuition told Chen Rui that this matter was probably related to Zong Shen.
In fact, it was normal for him not to know about Archduke Jonathan's situation.
Although it has become a regional battlefield, the tasks it publishes are only targeted at the lords in the region.
Naturally, "outsiders" like Chen Rui don't understand.
As for regional battlefield information, even if it appears on the [World Channel], it will not be so eye-catching.
Because similar situations actually occur everywhere.
It's just that the scale of the battle ranges from hundreds of thousands to millions.
Unlike Grand Duke Jonathan, who directly dispatched tens of millions of troops.
In fact, indigenous people are "awakening" everywhere.
This seems to be the inevitable case for the current process.
Chen Rui naturally knows this,
Just comparing the memories of the previous life, among the aborigines who awakened early.
Among the more famous figures, there is no Archduke Jonathan.
At that time, he didn't pay much attention to the situation in Avalon.
After all, Avalon is too far away from Kugit.
But later, when the situation stabilized again, he reviewed the situation in Avalon.
Archduke Jonathan was killed in the fourth year of the Avalon Civil War.
There is no such thing as becoming an awakened person now.
This matter is suspicious.
It is one of the processes that has been changed.
And Chen Rui has enough reasons to suspect that Grand Duke Jonathan's change is also related to someone from Zong!
This is not unfounded speculation.
Because the fall of the giant city of Lentax is inseparable from Zong Shen!
This alone is enough to explain everything.
Chen Rui deeply agrees with this!
After summarizing the information from all parties, he became even more looking forward to meeting Zong Shen.
The Black Leaf Giant City is located on the northern border of the Kingdom of Avalon.
It is a standard fortress-type giant city.
There is heavy security everywhere.
Even on the streets, one or two dark-looking battle forts can be seen from time to time.
The commercial atmosphere in the giant city is equally strong.
Just because it's on the border.
It is a place where fish and dragons meet, and there are many traveling merchants and mercenaries coming and going.
Just when he was about to end his rest and embark on the next journey.
A new group of mercenaries appeared in the tavern, which caught Chen Rui's attention.
These mercenaries all wear white wolf armbands on their arms.
He recognized the origin of this armband.
It is a large mercenary group called "White Wolf Group".
It has hundreds of thousands of mercenary members, mainly active in the northern part of the Kingdom of Nord and the southern part of the Kingdom of Vigia.
If I remember correctly, they should be supporters of Queen Sandina, who was on one side of the civil war in the Kingdom of Nord.
But now the mercenary members of the White Wolf Group have appeared in the Black Leaf Giant City.
This is not a normal situation.
Chen Rui raised his eyebrows slightly, instinctively sensing something was wrong.
Even though he was eager to meet Zong Shen, it was not long before he met Zong Shen.
And he had always paid attention to collecting such relevant clues.
The collection of regional information on indigenous kingdoms is a required course to become a qualified lord.
So he immediately decided to stay in the Black Leaf Giant City for a while.
Those mercenaries are all burly.
There are traces of wind and frost on the face.
With a slightly dark complexion and this outfit, she looks very untouchable.
The leader was a strong black-faced man carrying a pair of axes and a Steppenwolf tattooed on his face.
He lowered his eyelids throughout, looking gloomy and low-key.
On the contrary, the few younger brothers around me seemed to be chirping.
The reason why Chen Rui knew this guy was the leader.
It's because he is the one who takes the order among the others.
This is the chief's prerogative.
Usually after the food is served, it's not the younger brother's turn to take the order.
And in the simple detection given by the lord system, that guy has the longest attributes.
Chen Xuan listened quietly, but did not hear them discussing the topics he was interested in.
What is being talked about is either gambling or women.
They look just like ordinary mercenaries.
After waiting for almost half an hour, Chen Rui decided to take the initiative.
