Chapter 362 Athletic Conference, Semi-Desert Area 【Subscription】

"Competition conference?"

When Zong Shen heard England's words, he subconsciously repeated a sentence.

Yingluck nodded, seeing Zong Shen's confused expression, and felt a little proud in his heart.

As a bard, they always know a lot.

In particular, he is very proficient in the news between the nobles of the kingdom.

This is true whether it is this kind of external news or that kind of gossip.

For example, the daughter of a certain earl eloped with a certain poor boy.

Another example is that a certain noble has been suppressed, and all kinds of noble gossip are involved.

In addition, they knew which nobleman's daughter was to be married, and which nobleman's son was to be married.

At the same time, they will also sing praises to the leading figures in the young aristocracy, as well as travel knowledge.

I saw England paused and sorted out the information about the competitive conference, and then said softly.

"That's right, it's a competition!"

"Every giant city has its own arena."

"It doesn't matter what your occupation, background, identity, anyone except prisoners and heretics can participate."

"This is a non-lethal fighting competition, and the weapons used will be provided by the giant city."

"It's all wooden weapons, there are no specific rules for competition, just knock your opponent down."

"Each game will be played by 6 to 12 people, and the winner will be the one who stands at the end."

"The top three finalists will all receive generous bonuses and the qualifications to participate in the banquet."

This time, Zong Shenke will be very excited. This is a banquet of aboriginal nobles. If you can participate, it will definitely be of great benefit to the contacts accumulated among the aborigines in the future.

Zong Shen stretched out his right hand and shook it with the bard Englishman.

"Thank you Ingham, that's great news."

"I'll be going to the great city of Rentax within a month."

"At that time we will meet again in the great city of Rentax."

Hearing this, Englandham took off his hat and put it on his chest, doing a bard's etiquette.

"Good luck, dear Zong Shen."

"I'm going to continue on my way."

As he spoke, he stood up straight, then took out a parchment from his arms and spread it out.

"Um…"

"Sitano Village..."

"Indeed on the route."

"At my travel speed, I'll probably arrive tomorrow afternoon."

"I will wait for you one day in your territory."

"Then we need to speed up the journey, otherwise I may not be able to arrive before the banquet starts."

This parchment is a map, Zong Shen glanced slightly, and found that the place where his fingers were Oka Village and the Ruerlu River.

At present, he has left the territory for more than 200 kilometers, passing through several forests along the way.

However, the terrain is generally flat, and all the way to the east, it basically belongs to the open grassland area.

If you keep walking in this direction, you will come to the east coast of the mainland.

Bosang is just one of the many state cities in the kingdom's territory in this direction.

A fringe city belonging to the great city of Rentax.

If you continue to the east through Bosbon, you will reach the giant city of Galisne, the giant city of The Hague on the eastern coast of the kingdom, and the port of Elaraya.

The plain terrain will also end after Bosbon, into the Tallu Basin.

Because of the vastness of the world, this creates a variety of topographical conditions.

Coupled with the changing terrain of various destructive wars in history, the entire continent is full of strange and dangerous places.

This is a colorful world, and the bard England Mu will be Zong Shen's key to this world.

With a wealth of experience, he can tell Zong Shen a lot about the world.

"Then dear England."

"I will deal with Bosbon's affairs as soon as possible and rush back to the territory."

The two shook hands again, and Englandam mounted his white prairie horse.

Put the beloved Vieille on a back frame on the side of the horse.

They waved goodbye to Zong Shen.

"Goodbye, my friend."

"Goodbye!"

After England and Zong Shen said goodbye to each other, they rode his white horse toward the direction Zong Shen came from, maintaining a speed of 20-30 kilometers per hour and advancing at a constant speed.

"Let's go too."

They also rested for a while in the village, allowing Bajie, the Sentinel Panther and the Andalusian war horses to have a full meal.

Bajie killed a basket of apples with one pig, while the war horses ate eggs mixed with hay.

The Sentinel Panther's meal is the simplest, eating beef jerky directly.

When purchasing supplies, they also solved personal problems in the village by the way.

Now that everything is in order, it's time to move on.

Zong Shen and Luna, as well as those Immortal Lancers, are all around 80 hungry.

This kind of long-distance travel, the hard work is the mount.

Being a passenger is at best a bumpy ass pain.

Just talking about the consumption of physical energy and hunger, it is not worth a monster group clean-up battle.

Zong Shen put the unfinished apples and hay into the storage compartment and rode directly on Bajie.

Reaching out and grabbing a handful of Vereesa, he pulled it behind him.

Luna also rode vigorously on the special saddle that Sentinel Panther stretched out.

The Sentinel Black Panther, as a Tier 4 war cavalry, is not weaker than the Andalusian warhorses, which are also Tier 4, except for endurance.

It is even more flexible than a warhorse, has stronger instantaneous explosive power, and has a certain attack ability.

It can be said that beasts and professional horses have their own advantages.

The stamina of the war horse is unquestionable, just like now that Bajie needs to rest after running for more than two hours.

The Andalusian warhorse of the immortal lancer actually has a lot of stamina to spare.

Because Bajie's top speed is 80-90 kilometers per hour.

The Andalusian war horse can reach a top speed of 100 to 110 kilometers per hour.

Of course, this data is in the case of relatively good road conditions.

Under different terrain conditions, the warriors still have different performances.

For example, entering the rugged terrain of the mountains, then Bajie and the black panther are more flexible than war horses.

At least for now, the Andalusian warhorse can easily keep up with the full speed of Bajie, and his stamina can be maintained very well.

Zong Shen's movements were quick, and after all the preparations, he left the village entrance and returned to the dirt road.

Continue at full speed in the direction of Bosbon.

This made the surrounding lords who originally wanted to wait for the bard to leave and come up to talk to him to be empty.

...

5:27 in the evening.

Zong Shen led the team to a random spot on the side of the road and stopped.

Since leaving Oka Village, this is their second rest.

Each break is at least half an hour.

Even with intermittent rest, Bajie's physical endurance still showed a downward trend.

For this reason, Zong Shen directly fed Bajie a large mouthful of Luna Spring water during his previous rest.

This allowed Bajie's stamina to recover.

It is indeed a little reluctant to let Bajie be responsible for the long-distance trek.

The surrounding light was obviously dimmed, making the already cloudy weather even more depressing.

The challenges of the lords and the aborigines are independent of each other and do not conflict with each other, and they do not know what the weather is like for the aborigines to see.

Whenever he thinks about it like this, Zong Shen always feels weird.

However, he can also understand the arrangement and intention of the lord system.

At this stage, the lords and the aborigines must be gradually contacted and isolated from each other.

Especially in the challenge, if there is no special isolation, the challenge will be completely changed after the aborigines intervene.

After all, the original intention of the challenge is to accelerate the growth of the lords, to sharpen the lords, and at the same time, the reward after the challenge is an additional way for the lords to gain strength.

With the power of the lord system, it is natural to be able to isolate each other in terms of challenges.

It is now the eleventh day of landing.

Three days of beginners, seven days of crypt challenges, and new challenges to come.

The new challenge will consist of a two-day preparation period, a one-day advance notice period, plus a four-day official period.

Basically, it is a seven-day killing mode with one challenge a week. After the third challenge cycle is over, it is approaching the end of the first month of landing.

27 days after the end of the rookie period, the first defensive challenge will be ushered in.

These are the information mentioned in the new rules after the end of the novice period.

After all, the so-called defensive challenge happened to be the 30th day after the lords landed!

Intuition told Zong Shen that it would be a new turning point for the lords.

Its significance is absolutely no less than the end of the novice period.

But exactly what will happen, nothing is known.

Even the strategy system can't figure it out, because the lord system will make dynamic decisions based on the real-time situation.

The same goes for including the content of each challenge.

The strategy module won't know the exact answer until the omens begin to appear.

If the lord system itself has not been determined, the strategy module has no answer.

After all, the essence of the Raiders module is still a "plug-in" belonging to the lord system.

It has no information itself, all the information comes from the lord system itself.

In short, the role of the Raiders module is a porter.

Others are closed-book exams, but someone in his case is an open-book exam, and it's the kind with retrieval.

Zong Shen stood there thinking for a while, while Ba Jie was rolling on the ground.

The small truck-like body rolled, and the ground shook three times.

Now they are more than 170 kilometers away from Bosang.

This dirt road passes through seven or eight villages, and it is very peaceful along the way.

There were no beasts, no monsters, no sign of rogues and horse bandits.

This is a typical village-to-village communication route formed by the exchanges between villagers and tourists.

But now that it is peaceful, it does not mean that the night will be so peaceful.

Along the way, Zong Shen met many small-scale traveling merchants, as well as some villagers who were walking or riding in ox carts.

According to the current progress, we should be able to reach Bosbon from 8:00 to 9:00 pm.

Zong Shen stretched his waist and stretched his muscles.

Travelling on Bajie is almost like taking a long-distance bus on Earth.

Even the comfort level of Bajie is not as good as that of a bus.

Eight or nine hours have passed since we set off at 9:00 in the morning, and Zong Shen only feels inexplicably tired.

In the future, I still have to find a way to get an air mount, otherwise it will be too uncomfortable in this world.

After resting for half an hour, Zong Shen fed Bajie a small mouthful of Luna Spring to moisten his throat.

It was getting dark soon, and there were fewer and fewer tourists and travelers on the road.

For the aborigines, night is not suitable for traveling.

Even travel merchants know this truth, and they will calculate the distance and rest nodes before departure.

When night falls, they will go to the predetermined village to rest.

No one chooses to travel at night unless they are accompanied by a strong escort.

This is not a large commercial road or an official road. There are often robbers harassing it at night, and those nocturnal prairie beasts and monsters often haunt nearby.

"Let's go, it's not far from Bangcheng."

"If it's fast, it'll be there in two or three hours."

They rested until about six in the evening, and Zong Shen waved and set off.

After walking for a while, a small sign appeared on the side of the road.

However, because the sky was too dark, and Bajie was moving at full speed, he did not see the contents of the sign clearly.

Just vaguely see what seems to be painted on it.

The group just stepped on the twilight and continued to move forward.

From the territory to the present, after spanning hundreds of kilometers, the terrain nearby is still flat.

But the surrounding land has obvious traces of desertification.

The native climate here is still very good, and the reasons that can cause grassland desertification are basically man-made.

For example, excessive grazing and land reclamation are important causes of grassland desertification.

In the grassland near Zongshen's territory, if you look down from the sky, it is a carpet.

And in this vicinity, the desert has occupied two-thirds of the land.

The remaining green spaces are scattered around the village.

And since entering the 200-kilometer average of Bangcheng, the villages along the way have become denser.

In the beginning, you had to walk 50 to 60 kilometers to encounter a village, but now there is basically a village within 20 to 30 kilometers.

This shows that, around the outer circle of the state city, the closer it is to the state city, the distribution density of the population is obviously increasing.

As Zong Shen and the others ran wildly, a cloud of sand swept up behind them.

Bajie and the warhorse were covered with dust, and Vereesa and Luna put on their face towels again.

Fortunately, Zong Shen's silver helmet is also fully covered, otherwise he would have to eat a lot of dirt along the way.

After more than half an hour, they advanced forty or fifty kilometers again.

The desertification here has become more and more serious, and the night has come completely because of soil erosion.

The originally compacted land on the dirt road has also become a soft desert sand.

This slowed down the crowd.

It was pitch black all around, and from time to time, a large group of unknown beasts could be seen running fast on both sides.

The eyes of these beasts reflect a bright yellow light like dots of light

Since entering this semi-desert area, the style of painting seems to have changed!

There was a burglar in the early morning, and there was an explosion on Monday.

The blacksmith wants to be on the list, and everyone supports it.
