Chapter 389 Scolding Cao Thief, Mariel's Report 【Subscription】

Zong Shen shook his head and thought wildly.

As a lord, he has the unique conditions for the harem.

But in fact, he has only accepted Luna so far.

Zong Shen has to deal with too many things every day.

Even though the basic territory of the territory has become bigger now, the manpower is getting more and more abundant.

But Zong Shen still couldn't let go completely and become a happy lord.

He has a very clear understanding of himself and his future goals.

This will be a bittersweet process.

He still needs to continue to struggle, at least until the territory has grown to the state level.

Only Zong Shen can slow down a little like Baron Bezos or Lord Mars.

At present, Zong Shen clearly knows that there are several female subjects who are interested in him.

For example, the Ranger Sisters, Tasia, and Aishia.

These early days followed their own team, and they witnessed the growth of the territory.

Accompanying Zong Shen through various battles, big and small.

And there is a bold peach-colored experience like bathing in a hot spring.

This makes their feelings very obvious.

And the likes of Vereesa, Doris, Mariel, and Melanie will be a little worse off.

Especially Vereesa, she had a relationship experience before she was banned.

After being recruited by Zong Shen through the Purple Nature Altar.

She even has a special equipment called [Ronin's Lucky Charm (white)] on her body.

Ronin is also a legendary hero.

In order to resist the invasion of the blood-burning demon, he died in the explosion of the arcane crystal.

These are all information Zong Shen got when he checked Vereesa's background a long time ago.

Therefore, Veresa's feelings for Zong Shen are very complicated.

Under the influence of her loyalty Max, she easily develops a favorable impression of Zong Shen in getting along.

However, Veresa always has a hurdle in her heart, which makes her unconsciously want to alienate Zong Shen.

Let the relationship between the two be maintained on a relatively safe boundary.

In fact, Zong Shen's attitude towards this has always been very Buddhist.

I have to say that Veresa does have a mature flavor on her body.

She is plump and has a completely different beauty than a girl.

This made Zong Shen often scolded himself as a Cao thief.

Fortunately, the relationship between the two has been in a very harmonious state so far.

At least when Zong Shen hugged Luna, he wouldn't think of other women.

With a pouted mouth, Zong Shen stepped onto the last step of the second floor.

Get these messy thoughts out of your head.

He walked along the corridor on the second floor to the door of Mariel's room.

He stretched out two knuckles and tapped lightly on the door.

"dong dong"

Soon, footsteps were heard from the other side of the door.

"Who is it?"

Mariel was like an alert rabbit, and didn't open the door immediately.

"it's me."

"crunch~"

Zong Shen said simply, the next moment the door was opened.

Mariel's eyes were wide open, and the joy of that yearning was almost beyond words.

"Yeah! Your lord, you're back!"

"You must be working hard on the road, right?"

"Do you need me to prepare food for you?"

She said intimately, Zong Shen could feel her excitement.

"No, you put on your clothes first."

"I brought back a batch of supplies from Bosbang, and I need you to count them."

Zong Shen said with a smile, Mariel in front of her was still wearing thin pajamas.

Hearing Zong Shen's words, Mariel nodded vigorously.

He turned back to the room, just before the door was about to close.

Zong Shen added another sentence.

"Put more on, it's already starting to cool down outside."

"The 9 fur coats I got from the goblin merchant before, I will share them with Howie later."

"These fur coats are warmer than sheepskin coats."

His voice ended as the door closed.

"I understand my lord."

"Please wait a moment!"

...

Ten minutes later, he and Mariel had arrived outside the lord's courtyard.

Mariel was draped in a thick fur coat.

The Immortal Lancers went to rest first.

Howie, Vereesa, Luna, and mother and son Felix were waiting outside.

Felix mother and son wore sheepskin jackets and looked at the lord's small building with curious eyes.

"Howie, take Felix and the others to the living quarters and find a vacant house to settle down first."

"Come back after Felix is ​​settled and help Mariel organize the supplies together."

"Luna and Vereesa, both of you should go to rest, it's been a hard journey all the way."

"Go to the storage box to get a fur coat in a while."

Zong Shen waved his hand and arranged them out first.

Bajie has also been taken out of the city and placed in a spacious [Second-Order Stable].

Only Mariel and Zong Shen were left outside the small courtyard.

In the inner city, because of the simple city wall, the cold wind here is smaller than that outside.

Zong Shen first came to the open space and stacked the sealed wooden barrels of military rations, various luggage boxes, materials to keep out the cold, raw materials for fur, jackets, and food.

This batch of supplies is the last batch of cold-proof supplies in the territory before the Winter Challenge.

"Mariel, all these materials need to be put into storage."

"Put it in the storage box when it should be put in the storage box."

"What should be in the cold storage should be put in the cold storage."

"All those fur raw materials below the fine grade are sent to Alanna."

"Let her do her best to make fur jackets these days."

"Howie will assist you."

"After finishing, you can rest."

Zong Shen pointed at the supplies and said quickly.

Mariel, as the logistics chief of the territory, these are all things she needs to do.

And this is also a kind of exercise for her ability.

Mariel on the side was wrapped in a jacket and bowed in salute.

Although Mariel is young, she has a strong self-motivation in her bones.

The temperature at night was as low as five or six degrees above zero.

Coupled with the whistling cold wind, the body temperature has been further reduced by a lot.

Mariel's physique is not strong, and even if she is wrapped in a jacket, she can feel a little cold.

She has no complaints at all, and she always implements Zong Shen's orders unconditionally.

Zong Shen also saw her performance.

Attitude sometimes trumps talent.

"Then it will be hard on you."

"Wait for me in the hall of the lord's building at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."

Zong Shen said meticulously.

In moments like these, he needs to maintain some lord's majesty.

Caring is caring, and exercise is exercise. These are two different things.

"Good lord."

"I'll be waiting for you in the hall at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."

"In addition, I have a few things to report to you."

Mariel nodded slightly and asked in a soft voice.

Zong Shen turned around, looked at her calmly, and did not speak.

Waiting for her to follow.

Seeing this, Mariel began to speak slowly.

"The first batch of ore was successfully transported back to the mine this morning."

"Mainly iron ore, 3173 in all."

"Followed by copper and mithril, with 338 and 112, respectively."

"As for other high-energy associated mines, there are not many, so they are temporarily stored in mines."

Mariel's honest reporting.

After Zongshen and the others brought the kobolds to the mine to resettle them.

The kobold chief Dutra soon resumed mining with the cubs.

Those little guys with horny scales on their bodies, although they are not strong in combat.

But mining is indeed a good hand.

When they returned to the mine, the dark and cramped environment gave them a great sense of security.

This is truly a duck to water, and kobolds are much less active when on the ground.

They hold three mines that have been confirmed to be safe.

Coupled with the assistance of the mining magic mecha, once it is fully mined, the daily amount is still very considerable.

This is a considerable amount of wealth, and it is an extremely stable source of ore.

You must know that the mine was originally the largest mine near Azshara.

Even after many years of mining, it has been abandoned for so many years.

But still enough to meet the development of the territory.

As long as the stable output of the mine can be ensured, it will be in the future.

Basically, the territory's ore resources can be self-sufficient.

This is a treasure that cannot be missed.

The daily output of these ores alone is a lot of wealth for any lord at this stage.

Able to make any lord who knows the news be consumed by greed.

"this is a good news."

"Dutra did a great job."

"For the safety of the mine, Favid will have to dispatch four hell double-headed dogs to guard the mine tomorrow."

"By the way, let Bajie go to the mine to avoid the limelight."

"After all, it lived there before we got it."

Zong Shen thought for a moment and decided to strengthen the protection of the mine.

In the entire territory, there is nothing more suitable than Faved's barbarian team.

Those two-headed hellhounds are powerful, equivalent to the commander-level monsters of the same level.

It also has the characteristics of abyss and hell species, and attacks can cause chaos damage.

At present, Favid has created a total of eight hell two-headed dogs through the killing call.

As long as four heads are sent to the mine, the defense of the mine can be greatly increased.

The remaining four continued to accompany Faved for possible battles in the Winter Challenge.

Because the two-headed dog is naturally not afraid of severe cold as a hell species.

Cold can't do any damage to their bodies.

But states such as freezing, freezing, and stiffness still occur.

After getting Zong Shen's reply, Mariel kept his orders and arrangements in mind.

Then he continued.

"Also, the night after you left."

"There is a team of blue owl knights visiting the territory."

"Inquire about the situation in the territory."

"And made a tour, made a record and left."

"It should be related to the crusades in Odo Village."

"They seem to be actively recording the territorial conditions in this area."

"I sent Uncle Colby to Odo Village to investigate the situation the next morning."

"The whole Odo village has been in ruins."

"All the giant city crusades have evacuated there, and they should return to the giant city."

Mariel's second message was equally exciting.

Zong Shen estimated the time.

It was found that the approximate time of the withdrawal of the giant city crusade and the time when he met Harold on the road could be matched.

This shows that the crusades in Odo Village should have really retreated.

The vast territory also has vast troubles.

Even if they have discovered the lords who have come.

However, it takes a lot of effort to complete the verification and statistics comprehensively.

This order must first wait until they return to the giant city, and then issue it to the major state cities in the form of an executive order.

be considered fully effective.

Only then will the various state cities take action and begin to formally verify those settlements that appear inexplicably.

This period will take at least ten to fifteen days.

Zong Shen was not worried about this at all, because he had already obtained Bosbon's magic flag.

Baron Bezos has also left behind.

Just hide Bajie and the Immortal Lancer with high exposure.

Who can know that the affairs of Odo Village are related to someone from other sects?

Zong Shen nodded lightly, raised his chin slightly, and motioned for Mariel to continue reporting.

Mariel tightened her fur coat and continued.

"Five or six hours ago, in the early evening, a bard visited."

"His name is England."

"I claim to have been invited by you and have a communication crystal number 10."

"We treated him warmly and placed him in an empty room on the third floor of the lord's small building."

"At present, only the environment of the lord's small building in the territory can be used to entertain guests..."

She explained in a low voice, for fear that Zong Shen would blame her.

After all, the lord's small building is also a core location of the territory.

"That guy in England is quite fast."

"Yes, he is the guest I invited."

"You are right. At this stage, there is really no room in the territory that can be used to entertain guests."

"That guy doesn't have any bad intentions."

Zong Shen agreed with Mariel's approach.

He had already checked the details of England through the strategy module before.

Plus he's a potential hero.

That's why I gave him the communication crystal.

For someone who doesn't know the details, Zong Shen will not take the risk to lead him to meet in the territory.

Hearing what Zong Shen said, Mariel finally felt relieved.

When Zong Shen is away, she needs to make some decisions flexibly according to the situation.

Maintain decency and secure territory.

This is also a test of her own abilities.
