Chapter 676 [Mission: Return to the Imperial City of Io] [5K]
"Your Highness the Princess."
Luna put one hand on her chest and performed the night elf etiquette.
Endless Continent still attaches great importance to life background.
Even though Luna was once a huntress in the last era, she can still express her respect to the princess of the kingdom. Today's Avalon Kingdom is no weaker than the night elves in the previous era.
"Lady Luna, there is no need to be polite."
"At least for now, I am still Lord Zong's subject."
Princess Jenny said very politely, but unfortunately her face was still in the ugly "Alanna" state.
"Sir, please talk to the princess."
"I'll get you some tea."
"I found a jar of fine highland black tea from the inventory of goblin merchant Boswell."
"It tastes very good, I'll make it."
Luna took the initiative to excuse herself and walked to the kitchen of the fortress hall to prepare tea.
Zong Shen took Princess Jenny and sat down in the hall.
"Your Highness Princess, now we can have a serious talk."
"Is your current face a disguise?"
he asked straight to the point.
Princess Jenny was already ready for a showdown and didn't want to hide anything.
He nodded calmly.
"It's disguise."
"Epic-level disguise consumes a lot of precious materials and can be concealed beyond the level."
"And the effects are semi-permanent."
"Even the super-level detection technique can't tell any clues."
Princess Jenny's words made Zong Shen breathe a sigh of relief.
Her disguise was so realistic that Zong Shen once wondered whether Princess Jenny had changed her body.
Seeing that Zong Shen didn't say anything, Princess Jenny added again.
"In addition, my palace mentor, Mr. Cabot, also used the legendary sealing technique to prevent the Pendragon blood in my body from resonating."
Hearing this, Zong Shen frowned slightly.
"Is someone hunting you?"
He was keenly aware of the crux of the problem.
Princess Jenny not only disguised herself but also blocked the resonance of the royal bloodline.
And she did not hesitate to escape from the imperial city and become a female slave. She must have encountered a more cruel pursuit than being a slave!
Princess Jenny nodded, with a sad look on her ugly face.
"It's...third sister..."
"She had an affair with the Imperial City Guards and set up a trap to kill her."
"Two hundred high-level warriors were sent to assassinate me."
"At that time, my father was in the critical period of the baptism of the red dragon."
"Even my personal maids and guards have been bribed."
"Fortunately, the palace mentor, Mr. Cabot, the dragon-blooded prophet, protected me."
"It's just that he was also seriously injured in the assassination and reluctantly sent me out of the imperial city to his secret manor in the giant city of Gilgit."
"It's just that the third sister possesses the [Pendragon Bloodline Rune]. This rune can directionally sense the bloodline resonance of the designated Pendragon family members."
"So before he died, Mr. Cabot helped me complete the super-level disguise, and at the same time used the sealing technique to suppress the ancestral bloodline in my body."
"After Mr. Cabot's death, the pursuers quickly came to the manor."
"My mentor left me a sum of savings, and it was this money that supported my wandering to the east of the kingdom!"
"Later, on the way to the eastern bay, the traveling merchant team I was following was attacked by a large number of horse bandits, and all my money and stored jewelry were robbed."
"Those horse bandits thought I was ugly and were going to kill me with a knife."
"Until I told them I was a mid-level tailor, they let me go and sold me to Bamogo, a slave trader."
"Later, after several months of turbulence, Bamogo passed through your territory and I was freed."
Princess Jenny sounded very sad and briefly told Zong Shen about her escape experience.
"In other words, the third princess is chasing you?"
Zong Shen quickly discovered the crux of the matter.
"Yes, it was the third sister who planned and organized the assassination."
"But on the way to escape later, I also met people sent by the eldest brother, the second brother, and the fourth brother..."
Princess Jenny replied.
Zong Shen frowned, it was obvious that Princess Jenny was a victim of the Avalon royal family's struggle for power.
The most beloved child of King Guser was Jenny.
Even if the old king has no intention of letting Jenny become the queen, and Jenny herself has no such idea, the other princes and princesses will not let Jenny go.
The first assassination was organized by the Third Princess. Even if she didn't take action, the other princes would not give up. So after the assassination, everything was like an avalanche, and Jenny could not reverse it.
In addition, if you think about it boldly, perhaps the failure of the dragon blood baptism meeting of old King Guser is also inseparable from these princes and princesses.
This reminded Zong Shen of King Ragnar's mention of the epochal curse!
When the Epochal Curse breaks out, various problems will always arise within the kingdom.
In the Kingdom of Nord, the queen takes the lead in making things happen.
Avalon is the five sons fighting for the throne!
It’s just that little Princess Jenny was the most innocent and was eliminated in advance.
Zong Shen was thinking, tapping the knuckles of his right hand rhythmically on the table.
A few minutes later, Luna came over with two cups of hot tea.
Hot tea can help relieve tension, refresh your mind and energize your thinking.
"Your Highness, how can I help you?"
Zong Shen thought for a while and decided to ask Princess Jenny what she meant.
But Princess Jenny shook her head.
"This is the general trend of the kingdom. Even if you are an adult, you cannot change it."
"When I was assassinated, my father was in the critical period of baptism."
"But Master Cabot told me that they also took action on my father's baptism."
"I haven't inquired about the situation in the kingdom for several months, but I think my father is also in danger."
"The civil war in the kingdom has not broken out, just because my eldest brother and the others have not completely carved up the kingdom's giant cities."
Princess Jenny has been homeless for several months. After joining the territory, she has been staying in the "Tailor Shop" in obscurity. It is normal for her to be unclear about many things.
At this time, Zong Shen told her some of the information he knew, which could prompt her to make a decision as soon as possible. Although Jenny Pendragon was in despair, as long as the old King Guther was not dead, she would still be Avalon.
little princess.
Even after her assassination, there was controversy within the Pendragon family.
She is very popular within the Pendragon family.
The two Grand Dukes of the Imperial City and the Grand Duke who guards the south and is in charge of an elite army all treat her well.
Everyone knows that little Jenny has no interest in power, but the third princess still takes action!
It's hard to pursue the matter after it's done.
However, this also caused the support of the third princess within the family to decline a lot.
"Old King Guser is not dead."
"However, his dragon blood baptism failed and he was counterattacked by the blood essence of the red dragon."
"You can live for two or three years at most."
"He is still in the imperial city, resting his body."
"But King Guther's control over every part of the kingdom is decreasing."
"But as long as he lives, he is the King of Avalon!"
"Whoever dares to kill the king will lose most of the people's support."
Zong Shen said in a serious tone.
The situation in the Kingdom of Nord and the Kingdom of Avalon is different.
In the Kingdom of Nord, the Trivasin family has been operating for more than ten generations, controlling one-third of the giant cities in the kingdom, and developing the famous Trivasin business group, accumulating a huge amount of wealth.
Queen Sandina was just a wedge, triggering the beginning of chaos in the kingdom.
The giant city run by the Trivasin family has long gone through long-term management and brainwashing, and its respect for the royal family is extremely weak, so there is no need to worry too much.
Even if a war really breaks out, with one-third of the giant cities in the kingdom, as well as the accumulated supplies and wealth, it will not be easy even for the Lodbrok family to conquer!
But the situation in the Kingdom of Avalon is different.
Regardless of whether it is the old King Guser or other princes and princesses, their surnames are all Pendragon.
The blood of the first king, Arthur Pendragon, flows in his body, so he can be regarded as Pendragon orthodoxy.
If the prince or princess dares to kill the king, once word spreads, the people will lose first.
Other princes or princesses can take their place.
Therefore, with mutual restraint, no one dares to take this risk.
They could only do something secretly during the old king's baptism.
After all, baptism is not 100% successful.
There have been many examples of failure in the past, including by kings, grand dukes and princes.
However, failure does not mean that there will be backlash. King Guser originally had decades to live, but the backlash overdrawn his life limit. His head turned gray overnight and he became an extremely old man.
Princess Jenny opened her eyes wide after hearing Zong Shen's story.
"Father, is he still there?"
She whispered softly, fearing that she had heard wrongly.
Zong Shen nodded firmly.
"King Guser is not dead."
After receiving an affirmative answer again, Princess Jenny was stunned.
Zong Shen did not urge him, but picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip from the edge.
The highland black tea from Endless Continent has a very unique taste and is lighter in taste.
More than ten minutes later, when the tea in the cup had cooled down, Princess Jenny raised her head!
Her gaze became firmer than ever.
At this moment, a line of mission prompts in bold font popped up in front of Zong Shen's field of vision.
[The fifth princess of the Kingdom of Avalon: Jenny Pendragon, sends you a mission invitation]
【Accept】【Reject】
A task has appeared, and the task is in bold.
The previous [Help the king out of trouble] was also a mission in bold font.
Speaking of which, he still has to find an opportunity to go to Nord's Sargeson Imperial City and ask for a reward from the king!
Such characters can often change the structure of the kingdom.
Zong Shen naturally had no reason to refuse and decisively chose [Accept].
After choosing, he still needs him to further trigger the follow-up.
So Zong Shen stood up directly and made a solemn promise to Princess Anne.
"Dear Princess."
"Since you have joined the territory, you should know my magic."
"Your experience is pitiful and I am willing to help you!"
Hearing what he said, Princess Jenny slowly stood up.
The expression on her eyebrows became determined, and a touch of majesty naturally exuded.
"Thanks you!"
"I would like to ask you to take me to the main imperial city, Aio Imperial City!"
"Let me meet your father, and ensure my safety during the process."
"I think I can convince my father to do something!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a follow-up mission prompt appeared in front of Zong Shen's field of vision.
[Mission: Return to the Imperial City of Aio]
[Requirement: Lead Jenny Pendragon to the Imperial City of Io safely, and meet the old King Guther. During this period, Jenny’s life needs to be protected]
], [Several dynamic deduction rewards, settled after completion], [Reputation value x300000]]
[Remaining period of this task: 793 days]
[After successful completion, 11% of the evolution of the Kingdom of Avalon Era will be rewritten]
[Unlock subsequent tasks by contacting King Guser]
(Princess Jenny's personal persuasion can break the barriers of the era curse and make King Guther determined to rectify the kingdom's internal affairs.
Just take effective actions like King Ragnar who was saved by you. If you can save King Guther's life later, you can also rewrite more parts of the kingdom's evolution.
After you accept this mission, once you are discovered by other princes and princesses, you will be directly hated by them and will be attacked by them.
Just imagine, a supporting actor personally rewrote the Era script. How exciting it would be. If you want to become a great lord, you need to take an unusual path)
This task is not easy and extremely dangerous!
Implementing it without complete assurance can only be regarded as a loss of life.
But once he succeeds, the situation in Avalon will also be rewritten by him!
The strategy evaluation at the end also said that if the life of the old King Guser can be extended, more scripts for the change of eras can be changed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This reminded him of the [Lifespan Fruit]!
"Don't worry, Your Highness Princess."
"I already understand your request."
"But please give me some more time."
"When I have enough strength, I will personally take you to the Imperial City of Aio!"
Zong Shen put one hand on his chest and accepted the task.
"I understand. Please tell me more about my father and the situation in the kingdom in the future."
"Before I go to the imperial city, I am still your subject."
"This will not change."
Princess Jenny's attitude towards Zong Shen is still very respectful, perhaps due to her status as "Alanna", but Zong Shen is still very useful.
As the little princess of the vast Kingdom of Avalon, it sounds very exciting for you and the adults to take one bite at a time!
"Okay, then Her Majesty, please continue to stay at the [Tailor Shop]."
"You don't have to show your face there, which can further reduce the risk of exposure."
Zong Shen is not pretentious. Since Princess Jenny is willing to be Alanna, then she will still be the chief tailor of the territory. If Princess Jenny is not willing, then Zong Shen will provide her with delicious food and drinks.
After hearing his arrangement, Princess Jenny nodded.
"By the way, Her Royal Highness the Princess will live in the Lord's Fortress from now on."
"You can also use the hot spring cabin."
"That way you don't have to go bathing in the stream with your tailor apprentice."
Zong Shen added another sentence.
Living in the Lord's Fortress not only has a better environment, but also has a higher safety factor.
"Thank you, sir."
"In that case, I'll go back to work first."
"Starting tonight, I will stay in the Lord's Fortress."
Princess Jenny took a sip of tea, calmed down a little, and then stood up.
To be honest, she had a very fulfilling life while working as the chief tailor in Zong Shen's territory.
Many worries can also be numbed through work.
As her territory grows, she also feels a sincere sense of accomplishment.
This was an experience she had never had before.
Zong Shen smiled slightly, took out a communication crystal and handed it to her.
"Number 1 is me and number 6 is Mariel. If you have any questions, please contact me or Mariel."
He raised his hand and handed over the communication crystal.
Princess Jenny naturally knew the function of this thing, so she took it.
He stood up in person, summoned a group of Lion Guard Knights who were patrolling, and personally took Princess Jenny back to the [Tailor Shop], which was not only her camouflage, but also her spiritual sustenance during this period.
It was already past nine o'clock in the morning after sending Princess Jenny, that is, Alanna away.
In about half an hour, he had to start walking his eyes again.
He returned to the Lord's Fortress first. At this time, Mariel had just gotten up and went downstairs.
Luna was explaining to her about Betty's joining.
After Zong Shen returned, he happened to call the two of them to have a breather in advance.
Needless to say, Luna's identity is Zong Shen's pillowcase, and Mariel is the chief internal affairs officer of the territory.
They are all very important people to Zong Shen.
So Zong Shen also told Mariel about Alana’s true identity.
"This secret is only known to the three of us."
"Do not tell the fourth person in any way."
"Maril, Luna, please pay attention to Alana's safety during this period."
"If outsiders come, don't let them approach [the tailor shop]."
Mariel and Luna both nodded solemnly.
There is no doubt about the trust and loyalty of the two daughters to Zong Shen.
They will regard Zong Shen's instructions as their mission and will never turn a deaf ear.
After explaining everything in advance, Zong Shen felt relieved.
The Endless Continent is so vast, Princess Jenny's disguise is so sophisticated, and her bloodline is banned, other princes and princesses are just dreaming of finding her.
At present, the territory is still developing rapidly.
Once the defensive challenge is over, gradual reform and transformation can begin.
Based on the current strength level of the territory, ordinary giant city conquering armies would be unable to do anything.
Unless a giant city-level war is launched and a large number of the kingdom's regular army and knights in the giant city are mobilized to attack Zong Shen, otherwise, it will be difficult for a high-level team of several thousand people to break through the territorial defense line.
The various levels of defense towers and incomplete wonders are not for nothing.
Especially the [Tower of Chaos], which is specially designed to target high-level opponents, is even more powerful.
After Zong Shen finished explaining, Mariel went outside Betty's room and knocked on the door.
He doesn't need to worry about the construction matters in the territory, they are all being arranged intensively.
But Luna, he needs to explain a few more words.
Pregnant women's affairs are not just one person's business.
Zong Shen repeatedly told Luna not to run around, and he left with peace of mind after Luna nodded in agreement!
