Chapter 445 Farm Tower, Repairing the Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword [Anti-theft Chapter]
Zong Shen is accustomed to wearing the communication crystal on the armor on his chest.
It was already past eleven o'clock at night. Who sent the communication at this time?
Think of Luna and Vereesa escorting everyone back to the living area.
Zong Shen suddenly felt nervous, fearing that something unexpected might happen to them.
He quickly opened his coat and took out the communication crystal from his arms.
I saw the number "8" appearing in the communication crystal.
This is Jiang Yi's number. Why did she suddenly contact him so late at night?
At this time, if there was nothing important, Jiang Yi would definitely not contact him.
And Zong Shen didn't find any request for legion support, so Jiang Yi probably wasn't because of the winter snow monster.
After thinking briefly, with doubts in his heart, he chose to connect to the crystal.
"Hey, what's the matter?"
Zong Shen asked directly.
"Master Zong, someone asked me to help contact you..."
Jiang Yi's voice came from the other end of the communication crystal. This reason for communication left Zong Shen speechless.
Although his current mood is no longer depressed, it can't be said to be happy. The depression has not completely passed, which makes him a little impatient.
However, Jiang Yi's performance during this period has been very good, and it can be said that her career is impeccable.
Out of trust, he remained patient, suppressed his thoughts of complaining, and asked doubtfully.
"who is it?"
Jiang Yi paused for a moment, and then said quickly.
"It's Chen Rui, Chen Rui on the [territory level ranking list]."
"I don't know what method he used to target our area."
"Then he found out about our legion and me."
"He sent the private message through my listing information in [the market]."
"I usually don't have the habit of blocking private messages, so I saw his message just now."
"Chen Rui claims to have something very important to discuss with you."
"He asked you to reply to his private message."
Jiang Yi hurriedly explained the cause and effect, which also explained the reason why he took the liberty to initiate communication at such a late hour.
After all, Chen Rui is considered a famous high-level player in the minds of the lords across the continent.
It has been at the top of the [territory level ranking list] for a long time.
Even before Zong Shen suddenly emerged, he still occupied the top spot for nearly a week.
As the first and only ranking list currently open.
[Territorial Ranking List] has strong exposure ability.
Almost all lords have viewed it.
When performing territory expansion missions, you will be attacked by surrounding monsters, and the higher the level of expansion, the wider the area covered.
Therefore, the level of territory intuitively reflects the level of strength to a certain extent.
Each level of territorial expansion requires certain risks and pressures.
Let’s not mention freaks like Zong Shen who rose to level eight in one go during the challenge.
After all, everyone knows that he once killed the regional challenge boss. For such a monster, it is quite normal to reach eight levels in one go.
But Chen Rui is different, he behaves much more low-key than Zong Shen.
However, the territory level can maintain a steady progress and continue to improve.
Many days have passed since Zong Shen entered the rankings. Chen Rui raised the territory level to lv7 yesterday morning, which is only one step away from Zong Shen!
Such a gesture made all the lords feel that he was a hidden boss.
In fact, this is indeed the case, he is indeed an out-and-out boss.
Whether it is his character in two lifetimes, the development progress of his territory or his personal force, he is an extremely talented person among the lords.
Although there is still some gap compared with Zong Shen, for ordinary lords, he already belongs to the lords at the top of the pyramid.
That's why Jiang Yi paid so much attention to Chen Rui's request after receiving his private message and verifying his identity.
Because Chen Rui said the situation was urgent, Jiang Yi was afraid of delaying Zong Shen's affairs, so she quickly contacted Zong Shen using the communication crystal.
Hearing what Jiang Yi said, Zong Shen frowned subconsciously.
"I understand, I'll check the private chat right now."
He replied softly, and the two of them were polite for a while before hanging up with Crystal.
Zong Shen placed the communication crystal on the long table in front of him.
The expression on his face became increasingly doubtful.
"Chen Rui?"
"I don't seem to have any contact with him..."
“We haven’t had any interactions with each other until now.”
He thought about it carefully and found that apart from competing for the rankings, they had no interaction or contact at all.
And even in the ranking battle, the opponent showed great restraint. After he quickly reached the lv8 territory level, the opponent did not blindly get involved with him.
Still maintaining a slow pace, he gradually raised his level.
There was no smell of excitement throughout the whole process, and the pace was so gentle that Zong Shen almost forgot about the rankings.
After much thinking about Zong Shen, there was no result, so he could only open the [Private Chat Channel] and contact the person involved directly.
Using the channel search function, Zong Shen found Chen Rui's private chat among the vast number of blocked private chats.
【Chen Rui 1994613】
The chat channel was opened, and lines of information began to refresh.
Through the sending dates of these messages, Zong Shen was surprised to find that the other party had been trying to contact him a week ago.
His words were very polite, even polite.
Without any communication or mutual acquaintance, he used honorifics towards Zong Shen.
It is worth noting that in a message sent six days ago, Chen Rui mentioned the words "winter".
If I remember correctly, the crypt challenge had just ended at that time...
His original message was:
"Master Zong, the cold winter may come early. I hope you can pay more attention. We may be the same kind of people. I have many things to tell you."
There were many words that made Zong Shen feel that something was wrong.
"Winter may come early" and "We may be the same kind of people", these two sentences are thought-provoking.
Just after the crypt challenge ended, the weather had already started to change.
However, there are very few people who can guess the cold winter just from the dark clouds, and judging from what this guy means, he seems to have deliberately used the word "winter" as if there is some taboo.
As for the last sentence, it is full of unknown and profound meaning.
"A kind of person", what is a kind of person?
Is he hinting at the strategy module?
Or maybe this guy also has something similar to a strategy module.
In the next few days, Chen Rui kept in touch with him by sending one or two messages a day.
But basically it’s all non-nutritious content.
Until two days ago, shortly after the mysterious lord [Jane Heisetz] dispersed the dark clouds in the sky and forcibly reversed the climate to receive rewards and announcements.
Chen Rui once again sent a meaningful message:
"The indigenous people have begun to touch the taboo. The future chaos will start from the south. The strongest lord should never be the puppet of the indigenous people. I want to hear your opinion on this matter."
This sentence seems to have another meaning. Judging from his meaning, the reason why Lord Jane Heisez was able to disperse the dark clouds in the sky has a lot to do with the indigenous people.
Zong Shen separated Chen Rui's chat from the block, and then closed the [Channel] interface.
Start to calm down and ask about the strategy module.
"How did the lord named Jane Heise disperse the dark clouds in the sky?"
The golden data stream flashed for a moment, and then turned into rows of eye-catching golden prompts.
(Jane Haishiz came to the Salander Sultanate in the southern part of the mainland. The territory is located near an imperial city called Jinbuluo in the Sudan. When winter comes, Ayu, the leader of the Jinbuluo Imperial City,
A close subordinate of Prince Bu discovered a Southeast Asian lord who behaved strangely in the city.
The Southeast Asian lord shivered in the hot sultanate, looking for thick fur. This abnormal behavior corresponds to the folk song that has been circulated in the Salander Sultanate for thousands of years.
Therefore, Prince Ayyub discovered the secrets of the Chosen Son and the Lord system, and selected the mediocre Jane Heise as the experimental subject, and began to try to use their power to interfere with the Lord's hand. The final result
Demonstrated possibility of Aboriginal interference in lords' challenges
Relying on thousands of years of accumulation by the indigenous people, Prince Ayub is trying to subvert the ending)
The explanation of the situation this time was particularly lengthy, clearly explaining the cause and effect of the matter. Before, he had thought that Jane Hertz was a powerful and enterprising lord.
Now it seems that she is just an experiment for the southern aboriginal boss.
The aborigines are indeed not as numb as imagined, and there are also transcendent wise men among them.
This incident also corresponds to the messages Chen Rui left in the private chat.
"The unknown chaos will start from the south", "The most powerful lord should never be the puppet of the indigenous people", "I want to hear your opinion on this matter".
Looking at this sentence now, everything can be corresponded.
He only found out about Jane Heisetz's secret through the strategy module, so what happened to Chen Rui? It seemed that he understood what happened on the day the announcement appeared.
Combining the above circumstances, he can almost conclude that Chen Rui has a big secret, and that the other party is constantly hinting at him.
Chen Rui seemed to know that there was something unknown about Zong Shen.
After Zong Shen figured everything out, a surprised expression appeared on his face.
He also put all the minor setbacks he had in the past behind him.
Just when he was about to reply to Chen Rui, Luna and Veresa returned to the lord's small building smoothly.
They immediately reported the situation to Zong Shen, while carefully observing Zong Shen's emotions.
Seeing Zong Shen slightly dazed, I thought he was still immersed in self-blame and unable to extricate himself.
Just when he was about to comfort him, Zong Shen suddenly nodded absently and then said to them.
"You all go and rest."
"Mariel, you too."
He gently asked the three women to go back to their rooms to rest. There was still a snowstorm outside.
The low temperature of minus 30℃ accompanied by the extreme climate has turned into a ferocious god of death.
But as long as you don't go out and run around, you can still get through it safely in a closed room.
The three women saw that Zong Shen was in a bad state and wanted to stay, but in the end they were sent away by Zong Shen.
His current thoughts are not on guilt, utilitarianism, or climate change.
Chen Rui's words made him think deeply and fearfully. Now he just wanted to find Chen Rui and verify some issues.
Thinking of this, he opened the [Private Chat Channel] again and selected [Chen Rui] to prepare a reply.
It can be seen that Chen Rui also sent him a message of greetings this morning.
This means that the other party has been trying to contact him for several days.
However, Zong Shen almost didn't read [Private Chat], so he didn't even know that Chen Rui was looking for him.
Being able to find Jiang Yi with limited information is enough to show that Chen Rui spent a lot of thought.
Based on the above situation, Zong Shen can basically conclude that Chen Rui is also a person with a big secret, and he firmly believes that he is too.
As for other issues, further communication is needed.
He calmed down and took the initiative to send a message.
"Zong Shen 1999514: Hello, I heard that you have something to do with me?"
This sentence is neither humble nor arrogant, and does not reveal any meaning.
All Zong Shen needs to do now is wait for the next step.
Zong Shen waited patiently. About three or four minutes passed before the other party responded.
"Chen Rui 1994613: I finally contacted you, Mr. Zong!"
"Chen Rui 1994613: Some things cannot be said through the channel, but I still want to tell you some situations. After the second and third batch of lords arrive, the mainland will fall into an unprecedented chaos."
"Chen Rui 1994613: This great chaos is inevitable, and it is also a good opportunity for us to rise."
"Chen Rui 1994613: The beginning of chaos is the harbinger of the second act."
"Chen Rui 1994613: Please try to establish a kingdom within ten years, and gather at least half of the power in the continent, so that you have a chance to fight against ※※..."
Obviously Chen Rui is a straight-tempered man, and he spoke out all the words he had been holding back for the past few days.
Zong Shen remained silent and did not rush to reply.
What this guy said was like some kind of prophecy.
All mentioned are things that will happen in the future, and some of them are consistent with Zong Shen’s previous reasoning.
In fact, during this period of time, he had already discovered some clues.
The seemingly prosperous, affluent, and powerful aboriginal force is actually a mess of gold and jade.
This is a kind of false prosperity. In fact, there are many crises lurking in this world.
The upper and lower levels are separated by an abyss-like contradiction, unknown regions, ancient ruins and dangerous places, places where the undead and demons rejoice, evil things such as the Forgotten Ones of the Evil God, remnants of the previous era who have not been born for thousands of years...
When these questions come together, they all herald the beginning of chaos.
They are like powder keg buried deep under the palace. It only takes a tiny spark to detonate completely, turning the tall and magnificent palace into nothing.
But now, these contradictions have been suppressed and cannot break out.
If the aborigines indulge in pleasure, it cannot be ruled out that some wise people will have worries.
But thousands of years of peace are enough to numb everything.
