Chapter 1168 A New Day 【Subscription】

next morning.

Zong Shen and Xiao Heizi spend the night in the castle.

Earl Rice returned to the manor safely with clones No. 1 and No. 2.

The destruction of the center of the castle's magic circle last night has not been investigated.

Because Marquis Henry couldn't concentrate on solving this matter at all.

Even though Ashley Boya provided him with a shattered stand-in doll, he still didn't pay attention to it.

The only requirement of the Marquis Henry for the center of the magic circle is to repair it as soon as possible at any cost.

Otherwise, until the restoration is completed, the Marquis Castle will be in a nearly undefended state.

The current temporary alternative is to install a magic shield array with a lower level and less protective effect.

As long as the number is large enough, it can barely make up for the lack of shields and the reduced defense capabilities of the core area.

The [Magic Energy Shield Array] that Zong Shen found in the abandoned dragon nest on the island in the middle of the lake was something similar.

Aside from these hiccups, the castle looks much the same on the new day.

The Marquis Henry seemed to have forgotten what happened last night, and went to the city hall for a meeting early in the morning.

The various teleportation nodes in the giant city were reopened last night.

Everything seems to be back on track.

It's just that time is always honest, and there is only one day left before the competition meeting.

Zong Shen woke up from the soft and comfortable big bed, and restarted the [Quantum Furnace Core (Medium Demigod Level)]. Surging energy immediately flooded his whole body, making him escape from the drowsy state in an instant.

He had a good night's sleep last night, the bed in the Marquis' castle room was just comfortable.

He turned his head and stared, and found that the bed under him also had attributes.

【Exquisite luxury big bed (blue)】

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: Sleep (increase sleep quality by 30%, reduce time to fall asleep by 15%, improve energy recovery efficiency brought by sleep)]

(A luxurious bed embedded with third-order calming runes can provide better sleep quality and accelerate the recovery of energy points)

...

There is still something about the Marquis Castle.

Even the big bed in the guest room is a blue excellent item, which has been blessed by rune technology.

In contrast, the bed in the lord's small building is nothing at all.

In comparison, it can be said that it is superior or inferior.

Although Zongshen's territory is developing rapidly, it seems like a nouveau riche has not kept up with the details. In terms of enjoyment standards, it is incomparable with the aboriginal nobles.

After sighing in his heart for the extravagance of Lord Marquis for a while, Zong Shen sat on the bed leisurely.

Regardless of whether Prince Carter and Marquis Henry can sleep, anyway, someone from his family slept soundly.

And by distracting himself to control clones No. 1 and No. 2, he can also communicate with the girls in the manor in real time.

Today is the deadline for the competition registration, Zong Shen asked Earl Rice to register with two avatars.

His real body continued to pretend to be Ole Sorensen and stayed beside the prince, waiting for the best opportunity to make a move.

When he woke up, Xiao Heizi had long since disappeared.

It didn't sleep at all last night.

The energetic black dragon is fine without sleep for a hundred or eighty days without fierce fighting.

Because the real dragon had already slept enough during the developmental period.

The sleep cycle of several years will continue until they enter the old dragon stage.

Unless he is about to transform and be promoted, Xiao Heizi usually does not depend on sleep.

And it is not like Zong Shen, who still retains the feeling for sleep, so it is almost not in the room this night, and it does not know where to wander.

Zong Shen didn't care about this, anyway, the castle's magic circle was damaged, and all the original monitoring methods were on strike.

As long as Little Heizi doesn't go to the floor where Marquis Henry's bedroom is located.

As for Prince Carter who was in the next room, he didn’t call them all night.

Last night was quite peaceful, without any accidents.

After getting up and washing up, Zong Shen tidied up his appearance again.

Opening the curtains, the warm sunlight came in through the window.

In the garden next to the castle, gardeners are busy among the flowers and trees.

They are either holding pruning shears or holding water bottles, carefully maintaining the flowers and plants.

The muscular maid with a strong physique carried a wooden bucket and a mop to and fro inside and outside the castle.

Looking out from the window, Zong Shen saw the outline of the city.

Especially the towering city towers in the first circle are even more eye-catching.

In his eyes, it was like a blue-gray silk thread, which suddenly cut off the outside world.

The entire giant city is like an irregularly shaped egg.

Each circle layer has a solid eggshell and different substances.

Living in such a city naturally creates a sense of security.

Standing by the bed silently watching the scenery for a while, suddenly there was the sound of footsteps outside the door.

Then someone turned the lock on the door.

Zong Shen didn't need to look back to know who was back.

Beside the door, I saw little Heizi looking around like a thief.

It still maintains the appearance of Bridger Sorensen, with disheveled clothes and lip marks on its cheeks.

This made Zong Shen look weird, but this kid has a good taste, and he has never been idle all night in the castle.

It seems that he should go to those lonely and unbearable personal maids.

Those maids live in the castle all year round, and they don't see many suitable members of the opposite sex.

Even old gardeners are not spared, let alone a man in his prime like Xiao Heizi.

The giant dragon is physically strong, and Zong Shen reckoned that this kid had spoiled the maid a lot last night.

Too lazy to ask for details, this kid is at least sensible and has not forgotten the serious things.

And it also got Zong Shen's consent before going out.

Anyway, the magic circle in the castle was disabled, and it was almost impossible for those high-ranking guards to find Xiao Heizi if they deliberately hid their tracks.

"Owner…"

"Hey hey."

Xiao Heizi closed the door and smiled at Zong Shen innocently.

Zong, who was looking at the scenery, turned his head and rolled his eyes at him.

Although the risk is not great, Zong Shen still admires this guy's interest in playing with the maid.

If you have a big heart, you still have to look at Xiao Heizi.

"Clean up and wash up."

"According to the rhythm I found, the prince is about to get up and eat."

The strategy module gives Zongshen an unparalleled information advantage.

As long as he asked questions cleverly and diligently enough, let alone the routine of the prince, it would not be too difficult to ask the guide to reveal all the prince's experiences from childhood to adulthood in detail.

Hearing his master's greeting, Xiao Heizi nodded guiltily, and hurriedly washed up.

It knows that this is the master's indulgence and care for it, and it has not deliberately restrained it.

After it finished washing, it remembered the knock on the door.

"Ole! Bridger!"

"His Royal Highness is awake."

"Please accompany me to dine with Your Highness."

Kaji Mizit's voice sounded outside the door.

Zong Shen and Xiao Heizi answered immediately, and then walked out of the room together.

Follow behind Kaji Mizit and enter the prince's bedroom.

At this time, the bathroom in the house was steaming.

The prince was dressed in clothes under the service of several personal maids.

He seemed to be in good spirits, and had recovered from the bewildered state of last night.

After getting dressed, Zong Shen also saw him squeeze the maid's buttocks.

Then he sat down at the table with a smile.

I have to say that the brainwashing effect of [Rose Mark] is too powerful.

Not only can it resist at least the sixth-order dispersal, but it can also continue to confuse the mind.

If it weren't for this thing that can only be planted on people who have feelings for Miss Penny, its effectiveness may not be much inferior to that of the lord's loyalty system.

Zong Shen, who witnessed the whole process, has already seen the power of the [Rose Mark].

If Penny is given enough time, she can slowly control the whole city with just one hand!

"How did you two sleep last night?"

The prince who recovered his demeanor asked with a smile.

Zong Shen and Xiao Heizi nodded in unison.

"We slept very well."

"I don't know what schedule His Royal Highness has today?"

"Sit down first, let's eat together."

The prince twisted his neck, indicating that they and Kaji Mizit should be seated first.

Not long after, a maid walked into the house carrying trays of carefully prepared breakfast.

Zong Shen took a look and found that these breakfasts were all of the same order.

Basically, they have reached the quality of green or blue. After use, they can not only replenish hunger and satiety, but also obtain attribute gain effects that last for a certain period of time.

This kind of food can't be cooked by ordinary people.

Only those who have mastered cooking skills and have chef skill occupations can make it.

In Dinan Village back then, Tie Zhu found a mid-level cook.

Later, when Zongshen conquered Dinan Village, he also took the lead in receiving the territory.

Chef is actually a technical occupation with a lot of room for expansion.

It is said that a chef at the master level can cook delicacies that permanently increase attributes.

It's just that all the materials needed are extremely precious, and it's not easy to collect them all at once.

But in theory, if there is a master-level chef sitting in the territory, even the buff effect brought by food alone can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the whole people.

It wasn't until the breakfast was finished that the prince looked up at him and Xiao Heizi.

"Let's go, today I want to go to the horse farm to ride a horse."

"Ole, Kaji, go and invite Miss Penny for me."

"Jebri is with me, just in time to tell me the story of the arena."

Prince Carter pointed out Zongshen and Kaji Mizit and asked them to invite Miss Penny.

She chose to let Xiao Heizi stay with him, and wanted it to tell the story of the gladiatorial fight.

Little Heizi, who was sitting there, felt a little embarrassed. Yesterday, he made up a lot of things about Jebri before he disguised himself, mainly about his living habits and behavior style.

I didn't pay much attention to the deeds of the gladiator.

Now I can only make up nonsense with black eyes.

Zong Shen gave Xiao Heizi a persistent look and got up to follow Kaji Mizit out of the room.

At this time, Prince Carter turned around and suddenly emphasized.

"Remember, don't forget the etiquette of a gentleman."

...

In the corridor outside Miss Penny's room, there are several Avalon sixth-order dragon howling swordsmen waiting.

In the face of Kaji Mizit and Zong Shen who came unexpectedly, these swordsmen did not stop them.

Just watching their every move with indifferent eyes.

When he came to the door, Kaji Mizit reached out and knocked gently on the door.

"Miss Penny, are you up yet?"

His expression was meticulous, and his tone was kept in the calmest state.

Soon, there was a response from inside the house.

"Come in, I'm reading a book of poetry."

The door to the room opens from the inside.

The one who opened the door was the legendary ranger who accompanied Penny.

It appears she and Penny lived and ate at this time, for she was barefoot when the door opened.

Ignoring the guy's vigilant gaze, Kaji Mizit led Zong Shen into the house.

As soon as he stepped through the threshold, Zong Shen couldn't help frowning.

There is a faint fragrance of flowers in the air.

This fragrance made a strange reminder appear in his mind.

【You smell the fragrance of blood roses】

[Your energy is reduced by 0.1%]

[Fatigue degree increased by 0.1%]

[The probability of inattention increases by 0.1%]

...

[Affected by the core of the furnace, your energy has been restored]

【...Your fatigue has been eliminated】

[Toughness and mental resistance play a role, distraction immunity]

...

This is also one of the lord's privileges.

A notification that only appears when under attack.

In other words, this faintly wafting aroma is a kind of control effect.

negatively affected him.

However, under the blessing of various BUFFs, the effect of flower fragrance was basically ignored by Zong Shen.

I saw that Kaji Mizit and the legendary ranger who were walking in front were unaware.

The bright eyes are slowly dissipating.

It can be seen that this floral fragrance should be a hidden negative BUFF.

"His Royal Highness invites Miss to ride a horse together."

"I wonder if Miss Penny is free?"

Kaji Mizt bowed slightly and asked for instructions softly.

Penny Lancaster, sitting at the table, is wearing a pink dress today.

Holding a book of poems that was not too thick, he shook his head.

"Sorry, Mr. Kaji!"

"I'm not feeling well today and I don't want to go out."

"Please report back to Your Highness and express my apologies to him."

Today Penny chose to refuse.

Kaji Mizit didn't say much.

He has already noticed that something is wrong with the prince, but under the influence of the blood contract, he can't disobey the prince's wishes, and now he only needs to spread the word to the best.

After lightly nodding his head, he stood up straight,

Just about to leave, Miss Penny suddenly spoke.

"Is that Mr. Ole Sorensen next to you?"

Kaji Mizt nodded and made a gesture of introduction.

"Yes, this is Ole Sorensen, the gladiator king from the giant city of Dabos!"

"The statues of him and his brother Jebri are still standing outside the arena."

After his introduction, Zong Shen hurriedly stepped forward to give a chest caress.

I thought it was just a simple greeting, but I didn't expect Penny to extend her hand directly.

This is a sign that he can kiss the hand.

There was no other way, Zong Shen could only bite the bullet and bent down to hold her hand, and kissed her politely.

This scene surprised Kaji Mizit as well.

This kind of etiquette is not commonly used, and it means that Penny wants to talk.

Sure enough, after the gift was over, Penny's voice sounded again.

...
