Chapter 1,414: Everyone has their own gains, and the treasure house is mined
Zong Shen is very interested in things about the ancient orc empire.
This premise means that most of what the lords in the Rhodok and Kugit kingdoms can obtain and inherit are related to the ancient orcs.
Even Chen Rui himself is no exception on this point.
After leaving the dark side, Zong Shen talked with him about this matter for half an hour.
Everyone gained something.
Among them, Chen Rui was even more surprised.
Zong Shen's territory is obviously a long way from the Kugit Kingdom.
But he seems to know the situation there quite well.
When talking about the various allusions of the ancient orcs, they are also very clear-cut.
The two talked for a while, and Zong Shen took the initiative to stop talking.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The slightly bitter tea collided in his mouth, making his thinking become clearer.
The first thing that can be determined is that Chen Rui should indeed be a reborn person.
For Zong Shen, who once had a vague glimpse of the long river of time and space.
There is no turning back in time.
It just creates countless branches, including going upstream.
Simple rebirth actually interferes with the branches of time and space.
If you really want to reverse everything, you need to have extreme control over the laws of time and space.
Based on this, forcefully reverse the entire time and space.
As we all know, time is synonymous with material change.
Reversing time and space means reversing all material changes within a certain period of time.
Currently, the only title ability given to him by the lord system can only go back 24 hours.
This has made Zong Shen endlessly useful and has become the most solid trump card.
Under this circumstance, Chen Rui's rebirth seems a bit strange.
Let’s count him as a great adventurer.
Plus my own comparison.
There are two outliers among the lords.
"interesting."
"How many secrets are there that have not yet been discovered?"
"Are there any other strangers among the lords?"
Zong Shen thought about it in his heart.
There are only a handful of people at the top of the current rankings who can attract Zong Shen's attention.
But this is just the warm-up phase of the first prologue.
It is conceivable that when the subsequent prologue stages arrive, there will definitely be many lords that suddenly emerge, and even latecomers will take over.
After the wave of the great era comes, it only takes one wave to completely change a person's destiny.
Zong Shen deeply believed in this.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Chen Rui lowered his head and drank tea knowingly.
"Your Excellency Chen Rui?" Until Zong Shen suddenly spoke.
Hearing this address, he quickly put down his teacup.
"Just call me Ari..."
"Well, then Ari, since you had such an adventure, can you confirm that other lords also had adventures similar to yours?"
Zong Shen crossed his arms and asked very solemnly.
As a reborn person, even though Chen Rui was a salted fish in his previous life, he still spent nearly ten years in the Endless Continent.
During this period, even if he continued to drift with the crowd, he would definitely be aware of the situation of the powerful lords at that time.
This question put an uncertain look on Chen Rui's face.
"Probably not..."
"Compared with my...previous situation, the progress of those strong people over the same period is not even comparable to that of me, let alone you."
Chen Rui answered honestly.
Sensitive words that may be blocked are hidden.
In fact, after the two communicated secretly, they found that the restrictions on talking about relevant content had been reduced a lot when they came out again.
Chen Rui's current development progress is actually not slow.
Compared with those who were outstanding in the previous life, he is now ahead.
But compared to someone like Zong, he pales into insignificance.
Hearing this, Zong Shen nodded.
At this time, Chen Rui suddenly took the initiative and said.
"Lord Zong."
"When I entered Avalon, I found a piece of news in the giant black-leaf city in the north."
Hearing what he said, Zong Shen raised his eyes slightly.
"oh?"
"What news."
"Queen Sandina of Nord sent a powerful mercenary group to escort the envoys into the country one after another."
"Those messengers are on a mission to be lobbyists."
"Sandina Trevasin is trying to cooperate with the Grand Dukes and noble groups within the Kingdom of Avalon."
"This may be one of the triggers for the turmoil in the kingdom."
Chen Rui said seriously.
He believed that this piece of information would definitely be useful to Zong Shen.
Unexpectedly, Zong Shen just nodded calmly.
He knows more about the situation of Nord and Avalon than Chen Rui.
At the same time, I also know the recent developments of Queen Sandina and King Lodbrok.
As expected of a former couple, they still have some tacit understanding.
Recently, the starting point of the war has been the Kingdom of Avalon.
When the war reaches a stalemate, in addition to the hard consumption of time and resources.
The most effective way to break the shackles is to bring in foreign aid.
Or create new breakthroughs from other places.
As a neighbor of the Kingdom of Nord.
The Kingdom of Avalon, which was also on the edge of chaos, became their best choice.
In addition, King Lodbrok also tried to use the Kingdom of Vaegia in the north as another entry point.
As for the Kingdom of Swadia, which also borders Nord, there are not many opportunities to take advantage of it.
Because the situation there is really too stable.
Instead of thinking about the fate of the nobles of the Kingdom of Raswadia.
It would be better to send a few more mercenary groups to Swadia to operate secretly like the Sandina Kingdom did.
So this news is of little help to Zong Shen.
But he still smiled politely.
The two then discussed the issue of the ruins.
Chen Rui provided the coordinates of several ruins and also offered to explore them with Zong Shen.
But he was declined.
As compensation, Zong Shen also gave him several ruins located in the Kugit Kingdom and close to his territory.
Chen Rui's trip was originally planned to join forces with Zong Shen.
But unknowingly, I lowered my attitude.
Because he knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to work together equally with Zong Shen, he was simply not qualified.
This is not because he belittles himself, but the reality before his eyes.
Seeing that the plan to jointly explore the ruins could not succeed.
Chen Rui then struck while the iron was hot and stated that he would follow Zong Shen and cooperate with all his future actions.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Both parties are smart people.
Zong Shen could understand what this guy meant.
Separated by a layer of window paper, this is Chen Rui's last dignity.
Mr. Zong did not take the initiative to expose it, and at least verbally treated Chen Rui as an equal.
We chatted for more than two hours.
Until the tired Zoe walked into the living room and reported to him the latest excavation progress.
Zong Shen then stopped talking.
He ordered his men to send Chen Rui and his party to the place where the guests lived.
At the same time, he said hello to Chen Rui and asked him to come to the banquet in the evening.
Seeing that Zong Shen obviously had something to do, Chen Rui left in a sensible manner without any hesitation.
Zoe Babbitt presented the complete version of the Elf Key with both hands and reported the progress at the same time.
"Sir, all the ruins you provided have been excavated."
"This is the collected treasure chest."
"There are also related equipment and props."
Zong Shen nodded and took the elf key and the list prepared by Zoe in advance.
His eyes focused on the treasure chest he found.
[Diamond Treasure Chest x7]
[Platinum Treasure Chest x11]
[Golden Treasure Chest x19]
[Silver Treasure Chest x31]
[Bronze Treasure Chest x49]
[Black Iron Treasure Chest x63]
…
There may be a trap treasure chest here.
After all, Zoe doesn't have the means to sift through treasure chests.
Another batch of treasure boxes entered the warehouse, enriching Zong Shen's treasure chest reserve.
Fortunately, he has top-notch luck, so he can do everything quickly together.
Most of the other props and equipment are the standard weapons of the elves at that time.
It was of great significance to the territory, but it had no effect on him personally.
I took a quick glance and put them all into the territory's inventory.
After reviewing the list, Zoe Babbitt reported to him again.
"Sir, all the ruins passages including Azshara's treasure house have been opened!"
"The excavation has just ended."
"The construction team is reinforcing the excavated tunnel."
"You can go to the treasure house now."
This was good news, and Zong Shen couldn't help but feel refreshed!
He could miss Azshara's treasure trove for a long time.
Now we can finally find out.
The complete key is obtained and the treasure house has been dug out.
All that’s left is to turn it on!
This made him look forward to it.
It brings back the feeling of opening the treasure chest in the early days of advent.
This is the treasure house of an ancient giant city, and it must contain wealth and supplies that would be the envy of most people.
You must know that the war broke out suddenly.
Azshara fell with barely any effective resistance organized.
Therefore, the treasure house in the city should not have suffered much loss.
And because the treasure house is sealed, the devil cannot use it.
Many treasure houses have self-destructive structures, and a strong attack will only cause the treasure house to self-destruct.
So the demon at that time did not forcefully destroy it.
In the end, Azshara's treasure trove became the treasure of future lords.
"We'll go there now."
Holding the Elf Key, Zong Shen took the initiative to stand up, grabbed Zoe's wrist and activated [Fantasy God Flash].
The next moment, both people disappeared.
…
After several flashes, the two appeared at the site of the ruins excavation.
This place has been protected since early in the city planning process.
A circular area is enclosed.
Not only was the city wall closed and blocked, but sheds were also built.
Viewed from the sky, it looks like a covered Colosseum.
At this time, there are several [Magic Drilling Machines] parked here, and there is an eye-catching hole on the ground.
The potholes are traces of excavation of the ruins.
Large amounts of soil were piled in nearby open spaces.
There are also thousands of farmers and wolf cavalry running around.
Farmers use hoes and dustpans to transport excavated soil.
Pieces of wood and stone slabs were transported into the pit for reinforcement.
The hole was dug large enough and extended diagonally downward, so it was not cramped or difficult to navigate.
With sufficient manpower, excavation work of this level seems easy.
The territory has a dedicated construction team, and this kind of work is done in an orderly manner.
The efficiency is naturally not much different.
It makes sense that it can be done within two hours.
Zong Shen was very satisfied with the situation at the scene.
The excavation work was nearing completion at this time.
According to Zoe's report, the ruins are dozens of meters underground.
There is a hall and the remains of an ancient tree.
In addition, there are still remnants of the demonic curse in the hall.
Zoe is personally responsible for supervising the excavation work, and Jacques Picard has even entered the ruins himself to prevent the excavation team from touching the cursed area.
Because Zoe was also responsible for the excavation of several other locations.
So she reported to Zong Shen in advance.
In fact, it will take about a quarter of an hour for the excavation work here to officially end.
He's here, and it won't be long before he arrives.
Zong Shen landed on the ground and began to identify the newly received treasure boxes.
Seven trap treasure chests were eventually eliminated.
All the rest is put into the storage compartment.
Leave it to be turned on later.
Just while waiting.
The [Communication Crystal] worn on his chest suddenly lit up.
When he lowered his head, he saw that it was a message from Jiang Yi.
Since she failed in the defensive challenge and was resurrected by Zong Shen, she has developed in a low-key manner.
Half of his thoughts were spent on the construction of the legion, and the other half was spent on the construction of his own territory.
I am determined to work hard and start over again.
Zong Shen did not interfere with her excessively.
He no longer even cares about Jiang Yi's development progress.
To be honest, he is here to protect you.
There will be no resistance to the normal development of members of the [Legion of Guides].
For now, he is still supporting the Legion.
And he has yet to enjoy the feedback from the Legion.
From a long-term perspective, the legion will come in handy when the prologue comes.
After grouping together, we can also gather a lot of strength.
Therefore, the legion must still be retained.
As the same saying goes, Zong Shen may not need it, but he must prepare it.
Speaking of which, except for daily reports, Jiang Yi rarely contacted him during this period.
The last contact we talked about was about Archduke Jonathan and the Points Battlefield.
After thinking for a moment, Zong Shen took off the [Communication Crystal] and chose to connect.
"What's wrong?"
he asked proactively.
Jiang Yi's voice came quickly from the other side.
"That's how it is, my lord."
"The current size of the legion has reached the upper limit again."
"And if the legion level wants to continue to improve, it must complete the expansion mission of the station."
"The new expansion mission is to withstand a million-level siege."
"So I want to ask for your help..."
After the legion rules are updated, the legion level will be unlocked.
Currently, there are more than 6,500 members in the "Legion of Guides".
Basically reached the threshold of a stage.
If you want to continue to improve, you must complete subsequent legion upgrade tasks.
Different upgrade tasks have different conditions.
And its next level is to expand the legion's garrison.
But if you want to expand, you have to withstand millions of sieges.
According to the general ratio of attack and defense of 5 to 1, there must be at least 200,000 defenders.
In fact, 6,500 people can make it together.
But this will definitely cause a lot of battle damage.
Therefore, out of comprehensive considerations, Jiang Yi decided to ask Zong Shen for help.
For the current sect, as long as a hundred thousand troops can be dispatched, the planned casualties can be reduced by at least 80%.
And this task also has rewards.
There will be different rewards based on defensive contributions.
It’s not huge, but you won’t lose money either.
After figuring out the situation, Zong Shen casually agreed.
He now has a big family and a big business, so this request is nothing and can be fulfilled easily.
