Chapter 501: Zong Shens punch, meeting in the study [5K]
He pinched his chin.
I decided to give this kid another chance.
“According to the laws of the Kingdom, the ownership of the settlement belongs to the individual.”
"Even your father has to admit this."
"He even gave me a magic flag as a gift."
Zong Shen said in a calm tone, with impeccable reasoning and evidence.
"Arrogant guy."
"This place is not even comparable to a village, how dare you call yourself a lord?"
"In front of you is Lord Hadro, son of Baron Bezos and captain of the Bosbon Rangers."
"According to the laws of the kingdom, you should salute me!"
Hadro said with an arrogant expression, without even looking at Zong Shen, and tilted his head slightly.
Zong Shen felt a little nervous at this time.
What is it that gives this kid so much hostility and unclear self-confidence?
This kid blindly mentioned a lot of useless names, as if to scare him.
Baron Bezos already has the lowest title. According to the tradition of aristocratic inheritance, the title will be downgraded from generation to generation. Logically speaking, this boy is still a civilian.
Because the title of Baron Bezos cannot be passed down from generation to generation, the baron will become a commoner.
As for the knighthood, Hadro probably hasn't obtained it yet, because he doesn't have any emblem issued by the knights on his chest.
Then it's obvious that he is talking nonsense.
Zong Shen's battle armor, boots, and leg armor were still stained with blood, but he did not wear a battle helmet.
Because Dempsey’s territory was destroyed not long ago.
The flames caused by the explosion and hellfire left black smoke stains on his body.
Even as Zong Shen walked, there was a faint smell of fireworks.
Such a person is not easy to mess with just by looking at his posture, regardless of his status.
But Hadro was very hostile, which was what Zong Shen was confused about.
Seeing Zong Shen lower his head and stop talking, Hadro thought Zong Shen was frightened and couldn't help but smile proudly.
At this time, Luna stood beside Zong Shen. She had already noticed that something was wrong and was ready to stop Hadro's rude behavior.
Luna frowned with a serious expression. Just when she was about to speak, Hadro took the first step and put one hand on her chest, nodded slightly to her and said.
"Dear Luna."
"Did you see that?"
"This is the Lord you call me."
"I think you should consider what I said before and follow me to Bosbon."
Hadro stretched out his hand and wanted to take her hand.
Luna took two steps back, with an unhappy look on her face.
At this time, Zong Shen raised his head.
He turned his head and looked at Luna, then looked at Hadro and suddenly understood everything.
So this is where this kid’s hostility comes from!
"Hadro."
Zong Shen suddenly called him, and when he turned his head, he pointed at this guy's head.
"I think there seems to be something wrong with you!"
In front of Luna, Zong Shen said this to him, which made this guy lose his temper.
"Ruthless troublemaker!"
"you want…"
Hadro shouted angrily, as if he was seriously offended.
This is a typical case of not having aristocratic destiny but having aristocratic disease.
In fact, when he was ordered to lead people to support Kunir, he was as honest as a prairie cow in the pasture, and seemed quite fawning.
Now maybe it's because of Luna, or maybe it's because he looks down on Zong Shen's territory.
Today's performance highlights a clear contrast.
He treated the knight captain in the giant city with flattery, but his treatment of Zong Shen was completely different.
But before he could say his scolding words, Zong Shen suddenly punched him.
This punch hit Hadro directly in the face, and the next moment Hadro flew backwards.
"Bang!"
Nose blood spattered out and scattered on the ground, and Hadro fell onto the long table.
The plates with leftovers on the table were knocked around.
Even the long table was knocked to one side and tilted several meters.
【-117】
A huge amount of damage appeared from his head.
Even if he doesn't use any weapons and just fights with his fists, Zong Shen's power cannot be underestimated.
Hadro was immediately stunned, and the light riders beside the long table were also stunned.
Luna also took out the moon blade at this time, and Mariel took a few steps back and clutched the communication crystal on her chest.
When the conflict was about to break out, Luna and Mariel firmly stated their stance.
"Get out!"
"Or be thrown out by me!"
Zong Shen stepped forward with his bare hands.
The lightly-armed riders immediately drew their swords.
Suddenly, the hall of the lord's small building was filled with the clanging sound of swords being drawn.
Suddenly there was a tense atmosphere.
Zong Shen was not afraid of this. He stepped forward with a slight smile on his face.
These second-level lightly-armed riders, let alone riding horses, were no match for Zong Shen even if they were allowed to mount their horses.
Now Zong Shen's single combat power is very powerful, far better than ordinary overlord-level monsters.
On this occasion, the aura of blood and fire on his body also burst out.
This was truly fought out of blood, and it was not something someone like Hadro could compare to.
Speaking of which, Baron Bezos is obviously so knowledgeable and rational, and his treatment of others makes people feel like spring breeze.
But this eldest son is such a idiot.
"Isn't he biological?"
Zong Shen suddenly thought of a possibility.
Looking at Hadrow's hair color, it seems that it is different from Baron Bezos.
Compared to Zong Shen's mighty and domineering attitude, Hadro only felt that he was under a lot of pressure.
The punch just now almost knocked him unconscious and caused damage to his body.
Now he only felt that his nose and cheeks were numb, and he was speechless even if he wanted to speak.
Hadro opened his mouth slightly, and his cheeks were visibly swollen.
In his eyes, Zong Shen is not a human, but a humanoid furbolg.
The lightly-armed riders raised their swords and surrounded Zong Shen.
Hadro was frightened and fell to the ground, leaning against the long table without moving.
Zong Shen took out two finger tigers and put them on his left and right hands respectively, and his eyes darkened.
The atmosphere at the scene is becoming more and more tense, and a full-scale conflict is about to break out!
At this time Hadro suddenly stretched out his hand.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... let's go..."
He spoke inarticulately, as if he was saying "Let's go".
Zong Shen stopped approaching.
The lightly-dressed riders looked at each other, quickly helped him up, and walked around Zong Shen.
Not to mention Hadro, these light riders were also under a lot of pressure just now.
Zong Shen did not stop them and watched them leave, winking at Luna.
Luna understood immediately and followed slowly out.
Not long after, there was a sound of people jumping on their backs from outside.
He must have seen Yingjiang walking outside the small courtyard.
It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that Luna returned to the house.
At this time, Zong Shen was already sitting in the living room talking to Mariel.
Luna came to Zong Shen's side and bowed.
"Sir, they are leaving, heading towards the living area."
"The servants who drove the oxen and carriages also left together."
Zong Shen nodded and patted the chair next to him.
"Sit down Luna, Mariel told me just now."
"This guy is responsible for escorting the refugee convoy."
"There is nothing wrong with you entertaining him."
Zong Shen had already learned the cause and effect from Mariel just now.
Essentially, this guy is here on official business.
It can only be said that Hadro is too indifferent, or that Luna's charm is too great.
The only thing that can cause hostility between two men is a certain woman in the middle.
It was now past ten o'clock in the evening, and more than three hours had passed since he returned from Bossang.
Vereesa and Caniggia were standing by the door and had just witnessed the whole process.
"By the way, Luna, I will take the soldiers and farmers to the original rogue camp tomorrow."
"Bring two more magic drilling machines."
"There is a large Azshara ruins below the rogue camp."
"I'm going to take advantage of these few days to develop it."
Zong Shen turned to look at Luna and gave her a task.
"Okay, sir."
Luna responded softly.
She clearly remembered that rogue camp.
She was the one who killed those dozen weak bandits back then.
It was also there that Zong Shen rescued several farmers, old acquaintances from the territory such as Sanpang, Xiaoping and Erya, who joined the territory at that time.
"There are no other tasks for the time being."
"Settlement these refugees as soon as possible and complete the selection of talents."
Zong Shen looked at Luna and then at Mariel. After a few final explanations, he stood up.
Before it was too late tonight, he had to rush back to Bosbon.
Luna and Mariel stood up to see each other off.
Zong Shen turned around and gave Luna an encouraging look, then led Vereesa and the others out of the lord's courtyard again.
At this time, Yingjiang was folding its wings and walking around.
"Yingjiang, come here!"
Zong Shen called loudly, and after hearing his voice, Yingjiang ran over.
Not to mention, after spending a whole day together, this guy's loyalty increased by as much as 8 points.
After all, following Zong Shen is quite comfortable. You have to eat and drink, and you don't have to hunt by yourself.
Therefore, Yingjiang has now begun to show some affection toward Zong Shen.
Zong Shen looked at the eagle sauce in front of him and reached out to touch its upper abdomen.
The hard scales close downwards, so they don't hurt the hand very much.
After a little comfort, Zong Shen nimbly climbed up to the back of Yingjiang's neck.
It was indeed a torturous night, and even he couldn't help but feel a little sleepy.
After everyone was seated, Zong Shen waved to Luna and Mariel.
"We're off."
"Whoa!"
Eagle Sauce spread its wings and made a loud sound like an umbrella stretching.
The wings flapped slowly, and under the watch of Mariel and Luna, Eagle Sauce took off into the sky.
Zong Shen quickly left the territory on Yingjiang and flew towards the east.
During this period, he also saw Hadro's team of light riders leading dozens of ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages away from Zong Shen's territory.
Without a load, they should be able to return to Bospan within two or three days.
By then Zong Shen would have probably completed exploring the ruins of the Knights of the Lion.
After flying for more than ten minutes on Yingjiang, Zong Shen chose a large open space and let Yingjiang fall down.
At the same time, he took out the [Thousand Kilometer Portal] and selected the space beacon numbered 1.
Suddenly, a blue light door 30 meters high and 15 meters wide appeared.
This size is enough for the eagle sauce, but it needs to shrink part of its wings appropriately.
The other end of the teleportation light gate is where the space beacon corresponds.
Five minutes after Yingjiang carried Zong Shen and the others through it, the light door gradually faded and finally disappeared.
And at the location of the beacon, a similar light door emerged.
Yingjiang glided out from it and started to rise high into the sky.
There were no fluctuations or situations when crossing the portal.
The passage through the portal was completed almost instantly.
A teleportation of just a few hundred kilometers is nothing more than a joke to this [thousand-kilometer teleportation gate (orange)].
It is only twenty or thirty kilometers away from Bosibon.
Zong Shen took out the flag that Baron Bezos gave him when he left.
Let Yingjiang keep flying at a low altitude, and he flew directly into Bangcheng holding the flag.
With the flags clearing the way, the archers on the arrow towers and high platforms in the city did not attack.
Zong Shen returned to the castle smoothly.
When the eagle sauce landed on the ground, the butler and servants quickly came to greet them.
The housekeeper told Zong Shen that Baron Bezos was not asleep yet and was waiting for him in the study.
As for Favid, they have already arranged a room and are resting on the fourth floor of the castle.
It seems that Baron Bezos still has something to say to him.
Vereesa and the others followed the castle steward's arrangements and also went to the fourth floor.
Only Zong Shen went directly to Baron Bezos's study alone.
At his strong request, he refused the butler's request to show him the way.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The castle is very big, but Zong Shen has been to his study several times, so he will not be unable to find his way.
It just so happened that Zong Shen had just experienced a conflict with Hadro, and Zong Shen also had a lot to say to him.
When he came to the study, Baron Bezos was looking at the map of Bosbon's territory hanging on the wall and was so lost in thought that he didn't even notice that Zong Shen pushed the door and entered.
"Ahem..."
"Lord Bezos!"
Zong Shen gently closed the study door and coughed.
Only then did Baron Bezos come to his senses and turned around.
His expression was serious, as if he was worried about something.
But it probably wasn't because of Hadro.
After all, they came back through the portal, and Hadro could only take his time on the road.
In addition, Zong Shen already knows a lot about Baron Bezos's character.
Even though he is just the governor of a certain state, his ambitions go beyond that.
Moreover, he is an upright person and has a relatively erudite accumulation of knowledge.
He just needs to be honest with him, and Baron Bezos will not embarrass him about Hadro.
The most important point is that Zong Shen discovered that not only did he have a desire, but Baron Bezos seemed to have another purpose behind getting close to him.
But this purpose should be harmless to him.
"Brother Zong, are you back?"
"The speed of the Great Griffin is indeed very fast!"
"Please take a seat."
Baron Bezos calmed down his thoughts a little, and a smile appeared on his face.
He said in surprise.
More than three hours have passed since Zong Shen left the table.
During this period, he not only solved the problem, but also traveled more than a thousand kilometers back and forth.
In response, Zong Shen just nodded, with a slight smile on his face that was neither humble nor overbearing.
He walked to the desk, pulled out the armchair beside the desk and sat on it.
"Sir, I have something to tell you..."
Zong Shen clenched his fists, placed them on the table, and said calmly.
"oh?"
"Please tell me, brother Zong."
When Baron Bezos heard this, he completely turned around and sat at the head of the desk.
Therefore, Zong Shen told Bezos about the previous conflict with Hadro.
Baron Bezos frowned at first, but after patiently listening to Zong Shen's words, his expression relaxed again.
"So that's what happened."
"That kid Hadro lacks training."
"Too much focus on superficial issues."
"And because of his age and certain past events, he is not married now."
"This leads to him being more or less inclined to pursue outstanding members of the opposite sex."
"Brother Zong, you did the right thing."
Baron Bezos explained with a worried look, and at the same time expressed his attitude at the end.
After all, Hadro only received a punch and his life was not in danger.
Moreover, Zong Shen also told all the causes and consequences, and Baron Bezos could not blame him from any point of view.
Unless Zong Shen dealt a cruel blow to Hadro and put his life in danger.
"I will tell you this."
"Just to prevent gaps in our friendship."
"He is your son after all."
Zong Shen nodded slightly, with an apologetic expression on his face.
Baron Bezos nodded in agreement and then waved his hand.
"There is no need to mention the matter of Hadron's child."
"When he comes back, I will reprimand him."
"Next, I want to talk to you about the exploration plan."
"I'm going to leave at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
"According to the speed of the airship, it can arrive in about six hours, which is around two o'clock in the afternoon."
"According to my early explorations, most of the ruins have been buried underground."
"In addition, there is a group of shallow-water fishmen in the lake next to the ruins, so you need to be careful."
"That population has been breeding there for hundreds of years, and they lived there when I was young."
Baron Bezos took advantage of this meeting to tell some more detailed information.
Zong Shen listened and nodded seriously.
What he said is basically similar to what the guide suggests.
"I understand, sir."
"It just so happens that I have two magic energy drilling machines on hand, which should come in handy."
"In addition to the small team of fourth-level warriors, I hope you can bring some laborers and prepare a batch of shovels and pickaxes to supplement the excavation."
Zong Shen crossed his hands to support his chin and put forward his own suggestion.
"Okay, brother Zong."
"Don't worry about manpower."
"That medium-sized airship can accommodate fifty or sixty people."
Baron Bezos accepted his suggestion without hesitation.
The two parties also hit it off in terms of exploration.
