Chapter 348 The Liquid Treasured by Zong Shen, Return to the Territory 【Subscription】
For Sapphire, she never imagined that the mysterious person who risked her life to save her from the encirclement of the Dragonborn Knights was Zong Shen.
This contrast beyond her psychological expectations made her mind sway a little.
As the saint of the Church of Calamity Raven, Sapphire is still a woman no matter how strong and shrewd she is.
This kind of heroic saving beauty is enough to affect her heart.
Especially when she was pinned to her neck by dozens of lances and had to be slaughtered, Zong Shen appeared.
And that time was also the most desperate time in Sapphire's heart.
Looking back now, she felt that she seemed to be missing more than ten seconds of memory, because she didn't even remember how Zong Shen took her away.
Just a trance of consciousness, she appeared on the back of the big boar from the encirclement of the dragonborn knights.
But this is not important, the most important thing is that she managed to escape and did not fall into the hands of the kingdom's crusade. As a saint of the church, she understands the value of her identity. For the kingdom's forces, if she is captured alive, she will inevitably be captured. This can be used to threaten the Church of Calamity Ravens.
This action is a lose-lose situation for both the Church of Calamity Ravens and the Kingdom Crusade.
There were many planned plans that gradually got out of her control, including the sudden full-scale attack of the crusade army, and the inexplicable theft of the magic circle in the village. These series of variables have led to this ending.
Sapphire's mind turned, and there was some emotion and sigh in her heart. There was nothing more fortunate than escaping from death. Thinking of this, her eyes changed when she looked at Zong Shen again.
In the beautiful eyes, there are not only emotions such as moving and gratitude, but also the admiration of spring love.
In her mind, Zong Shen's image went directly from a self-proclaimed lord of a small settlement to a tall and stalwart peerless hero.
[The Raven Saint Sapphire's favorability for you has increased by 55 points, and the current favorability point is 80 points (deep friends)]
A system prompt flashed in front of Zong Shen's eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth when he came back to his senses.
Sapphire raised her favorability by 55 points at a time. It seems that she is also a lifesaver. The goal, process, and result will all have an impact on the favorability improvement.
Zong Shen looked at Sapphire, her face was haggard, her lips were slightly pale, and her face was exhausted and weak.
He grinned, showing his eight white teeth, and nodded lightly.
"Yes, it's me."
"Does the Holy Maiden feel all right now?"
"Have you been hurt anywhere, or feel uncomfortable?"
Zong Shen asked in a concerned tone, and didn't say much off-topic.
Hearing what Zong Shen said, Sapphire was even more moved, and Zong Shen's image in her heart became even taller.
"I...I'm fine..."
"It just needs a safe environment to rest."
"Thank you... Master Zong..."
"I don't know how to repay you for saving your life."
Sapphire said softly, this was also her heartfelt words.
repay?
Well, let's make a promise.
It would be better to use the treasure house of the Church of Calamity Raven and a few Apostles as a dowry.
Zong Shen looked at the arrogant and exotic Sapphire, and suddenly thought of this in his heart, but the expression on his face did not change.
In such a romantic situation of heroes saving beauty, it is even more necessary to strike while the iron is hot and good people to do it to the end.
With a wave of his hand behind him, he took out a glass bottle of Luna spring water from the storage compartment and handed it to Sapphire.
"Cough, don't mind the saintess."
"By the way, here is a piece of Luna Spring water that I have treasured for many years, which can restore energy and heal injuries."
"Hurry up to drink, Lady Saint, recover some physical strength first, and then let's continue on our way."
"Go to my territory to rest for the night, it's safe there."
"Great room with food, water and vacant."
"In addition, you can take a dip in the hot spring cabin, which is also helpful for restoring energy."
Zong Shen unplugged the glass bottle of the Moon God Spring Water, and with a little domineering he brought the mouth of the bottle to her lips, and decided for her tonight's itinerary.
Sapphire's pink lips moved lightly, as if she wanted to say something, but looking at Zong Shen's warm smile, she finally dismissed the thought of being polite, and her heart was filled with emotion.
She nodded meekly, opened her cherry lips to meet the mouth of the bottle, and took the initiative to ask for it.
Zong Shen poured the liquid in the bottle that reflected the white moonlight into Sapphire's mouth little by little.
"Gudong..."
...
After swallowing softly, Sapphire finished drinking the small bottle of Luna Spring.
These liquids were very useful to her, and her complexion began to improve almost immediately, and the energy that had been overdrawn also quickly recovered.
The effect of this bottle of spring water is amazing, which is comparable to some advanced energy recovery potions, and it is definitely a rare good thing.
She has no doubt that Zong Shen really gave her the liquid that he had treasured for many years.
After drinking the Moon God Spring, Sapphire took a short rest, her body recovered a lot, and she was able to sit up from Bajie's body.
Zong Shen waited for Bajie to finish eating the apple, and now the problems of Sapphire and Quinnir have basically been resolved.
However, at the excavation site of the Boneyard, there is also a team of heretical giant knights and a team of Calamity mages.
In addition, in the remains of the Bone Burial Bunker below, three saint elders and seven or eight Jackdaw spear warriors are still trapped. These people are basically nothing to worry about. After the crusade has cleaned up Odo Village, they will definitely Check out the burial grounds.
All I need to do is to hold the Raven Saint Sapphire and keep her alone.
And Sapphire actually didn't care about the place where the bones were buried. It was a fortune in misfortune that she could be captured from the pursuit of the Dragonborn Knights and rescued by Zong Shen.
Right now, she only wants to recover her physical strength as soon as possible, and then go to the nearest stronghold of the Church of Calamity Raven, ride the Frost Raven to the nearest secret teleportation point, and teleport directly back to the Jackdaw located in the northern part of the mainland. in the valley.
Report the matter to the Archbishop and other Saint Elders and the Great Scarlet.
Let them make follow-up processing and action decisions.
Zong Shen is a little concerned about the territory now, wondering if Veresa and the others have returned to the territory safely.
At that time, the village of Odo was very chaotic, and it was not ruled out that some daring lords would attack them.
But so far, Zong Shen has not received their communication requests, and there should be no major problems.
Bajie quickly finished eating the apples. In terms of his appetite, these apples could only be regarded as a snack before meals.
It's okay to use it to restore some hunger and stamina, but it's far from enough to get full.
Zong Shen doesn't have time to continue to delay in the forest now, he just wants to return to the territory as soon as possible.
The territory is guarded by his warriors and dozens of defense towers, which can give him a full sense of security.
When they return to the territory, someone will naturally be in charge of feeding Bajie.
He patted Bajie who was humming, jumped up, and rode behind its neck.
Sapphire was on Bajie's strong backbend.
Zong Shen gently pulled Bajie's ear, signaling it to continue on its way.
"Hum..."
Bajie, who was not full, snorted and continued to walk east, preparing to go south out of the mountain forest when he got out of the next mountain path, and then head towards the territory.
After some tossing and turning, it is now past nine o'clock in the evening, and Zong Shen's strategy module has returned to full functionality.
Bajie was carrying two people through the forest. Because of his size, Bajie couldn't travel smoothly in some densely wooded places, and he could only adjust his position in the forest.
After more than ten minutes of hard work, they finally got out of the mountain forest on the side of the other entrance.
Go straight down the mountain to the south, then run wildly all the way to the southeast.
The journey went very smoothly, without encountering any obstacles, not even the passing lords.
Now that the Crypt Challenge is over, the lords can run around without worrying about Blind Jill.
The few days before the start of the next round of challenges are considered free time for the lords.
Zong Shenba had to meet other lords, and now he just wants to go home.
After another forty or fifty minutes, they finally returned to the territory.
At this time, the city gates on all sides of the territory were closed, but the voices of people in the territory could still be vaguely heard.
Zong Shen opened the city gate with the authority of the lord, and after entering the territory, he quickly looked around.
When he saw that the weight-bearer mecha and the goblin airship were put away, he was relieved.
Vereesa and the others seem to have long since returned to the territory, including the villagers and captured warriors who were robbed from Odo Village and have been properly handled.
They should all be locked in the cottage, at least Zong Shen didn't see anyone outside.
In addition, the raven scout and the frost raven don't know where they are locked up. Zong Shen once talked to Vereesa and the others a little about their own plans, and now they are very tacit understanding about the internal processing of the generals. Very appropriate.
Vereesa, Mariel, Howie and some old people in the territory gathered in front of them and seemed to be discussing something.
When Zong Shen and the others entered the territory, everyone turned around and took the initiative to greet them.
They saw the Raven Saint Sapphire on Bajie's back and didn't say much, but just bowed and saluted, indicating that the territory was safe and everything was normal.
At the moment, Zong Shen knew what he knew, and rode Bajie to the gate of the small courtyard with confidence.
"Veresa, take Lady Saintess to the hot springs."
"Maryl, go and prepare some food."
"The saintess is our honored guest, don't lose your courtesy."
"There are still many vacant rooms on the third floor of the lord's small building. Let the saint go to the third floor to rest at night."
Zong Shen called Vereesa and Mariel seriously.
Then he took the initiative to let go of Bajie, stretched out his hand to help Sapphire down, and said with a slightly apologetic expression.
"My Lady, I still have some things to deal with."
"Let my subordinates take care of you."
"You will rest well in my territory tonight."
"There's something we can talk about tomorrow."
Hearing what Zong Shen said, Sapphire naturally had no opinion.
Zong Shen's various performances have already made her feel a sense of trust in her heart.
Vereesa and Mariel on the side came over with discernment.
Supporting Sapphire from left to right, and taking her to the hot spring hut, Veresa called her sister, Mariel called her sister, and the three girls quickly became acquainted.
After Zong Shen watched them enter the hot spring hut, he called San Fat again and asked him to lead Ba Jie to the stables, while feeding Ba Jie with food.
After hurriedly handling the affairs of Sapphire and Bajie, Zong Shen waved to Howie, who was standing silently on the side.
"Howie, you come with me."
After speaking, he walked into the lord's small building and sat down directly at the long table of the sand table on the first floor.
Howie followed him so respectfully, and after he was firmly seated, he just stood beside Zong Shen.
"Sir, do you have any orders?"
He leaned over slightly and took the initiative to make a gesture of listening.
I can't find any faults in the etiquette, and it is someone who has served the Viscount.
Zong Shen looked at Howie and nodded approvingly.
"I'm going to go to Bosbon tomorrow or the day after."
"If our territory wants to become a neutral legal force in the kingdom, we must go to Bosbon."
"We must develop from an armed settlement to a village as soon as possible."
Zong Shen said slowly, Howie bowed to listen, and nodded involuntarily, expressing his approval of Zong Shen's words.
After Zong Shen finished speaking and paused, Howie raised his head and said.
"Your Excellency is right, regularization is necessary."
"We just have to commit to paying some taxes every year to get Bosbon's recognition."
"As the territory expands, we need to take some responsibilities and obligations to the state."
"Illegal forces will be suppressed by the kingdom, while legitimate forces will be allowed to have their own armed forces."
Howie added some details. In fact, for the development of settlement forces, the kingdom agrees, but it must first be recognized by local state-level units.
Pay a benefit fee to Bangcheng every year according to the scale, and then you can develop on your own. As long as you don't do things, no one will interfere with your development.
Not only that, if you are attacked by bandits or other forces, you can also ask Bangcheng for help.
However, most of the villages and even the state cities were developed from settlements in the early days, so naturally they would not crowd out and suppress them, but still welcomed them.
Zong Shen had heard about this for a long time, and as long as he got the proof of Bosbon, he can develop without worries.
The Battle of Odo Village gave him a deeper understanding of the Aboriginal forces.
If you want to develop rapidly, you must borrow the strength of the aborigines!
