Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Night gradually fell.

The world seemed to be covered with a dark veil.

Darkness falls and the stars shine brightly in the night sky.

The bright moon hangs high above the head, spreading silver light.

The territory was lit up with the light of bonfires and [White Stone Street Lamps].

Most of the residents walked at a relaxed pace and went to the bathhouses in various living areas.

After washing up, they went to several squares in the territorial subdivision in batches to collect food quotas.

The entertainment in the evening is very monotonous, sometimes there are performances in the square.

Most of the time, they get together to play the local Dragon Language Card of Avalon.

Or just go to the library.

To ensure supply, an astonishing number of bathhouses were built in the territory.

In the case of divided time periods and days, it is enough for everyone to take turns to take a hot bath.

In addition, the shopping street adjacent to the living area is also very lively.

In order to pave the way for free democratic reforms.

Zong Shen has asked Mariel and Howie to pay their wages in advance according to the type of work and working hours.

And let all major shopping streets open for business.

The territory currently has nearly 100 billion dinars in funds.

It’s time to try to revitalize the capital market in the territory.

Of course, there was too much involved in the matter of freedman reform.

Moreover, there are still some people in the current territory that have not been admitted.

Zong Shen was prepared to wait until he accepted the population that Archduke Jonathan used in exchange for Prince Carter before carrying out comprehensive reforms.

In this way, even if he captures other giant cities in the future, he can directly integrate the population of Xina.

It is difficult to have less and more, but there is no such problem with more and less.

After absorbing so much population in succession, the population of the territory can easily exceed that of most giant cities.

Zong Shen stood on Xue Bing's shoulders and looked down into the distance.

The night view of the territory is quite charming.

Suddenly, he felt something.

The whole person suddenly disappeared from where he was, and returned to Lilia's side the next moment.

After more than ten minutes of self-healing, Lilia's closed eyes were trembling slightly.

Entered the eye movement state before waking up.

Zong Shen waited silently, and after another minute or two, Lilia finally opened her eyes.

There was a hint of confusion in those star-like eyes.

Soon, she turned her head slightly and looked at Zong standing next to her.

Then he lowered his head and looked at his body tightly wrapped in blankets.

Don't worry, I didn't do anything to you that I shouldn't have done.

Zong Shen shrugged and said in a magnanimous tone.

Lilia did not answer immediately, but took out her white lotus arm.

Rubbing it gently with two fingers, a ball of black light gathered together.

She seemed to be feeling the change in her own power.

The frozen expression suddenly relaxed a lot.

Because Lilia discovered that both the [Shackles of Divine Will] and the [Evil Core] disappeared from the body.

In other words, she regained her freedom.

There is no need to continue to be at the mercy of the Three Extremes Church and divine will.

There is no need to endure the inhumanly painful power fusion test.

With a snap of his fingers, the blanket instantly lifted up.

When the blanket fell again, Lilia had a black dress on her body.

She stared at her hands and body curiously.

It's both strange and novel.

It seems to be experiencing the feeling of freedom.

Zong Shen did not interrupt, but squinted his eyes slightly to assess her condition.

Without the [Evil Core] and the power of divine will, she could no longer transform into an evil object.

But the ability to unblock the demon still exists, and it can be transformed into a different kind of great devil.

But to be honest, Lilia is the most pleasing to the eye if she remains normal.

Her appearance was perfect, and her beauty even made Zong Shen feel a little unreal.

Both the facial features and the figure have an absolutely perfect feeling.

It is this beauty without any flaws that makes people feel unreal.

But to be honest, being too beautiful is not a good thing.

Because it creates a sense of alienation.

She felt the changes in herself silently, no one disturbed her.

When she raised her head again, the expression on her face relaxed.

Looking back at the tall and burly Xue Bing, her thin lips slowly opened.

I remembered.

It was you who deprived me of the [Evil Core] and the [Shackles of Divine Will].

Her voice was still cold, but for Lilia, being able to speak long sentences for the first time was considered progress.

Zong Shen nodded.

Removed from the control of the church and divine providence.

Lilia is more like a blank slate.

It's just that she once served as a fighting weapon of the church, and her hands were stained with blood.

Therefore, his personality is particularly withdrawn and cold, unlike Lan Xiaodai who is innocent and innocent.

Thanks…

She said with some difficulty.

This is probably the first time in her life to say thank you.

Although he is very awkward, the sincerity contained in it cannot be faked.

Zong Shen smiled and made a gentleman's salute.

You're welcome, beautiful lady.

Now that you're free.

So what's next?

He asked bluntly. When communicating with people like Lilia, all the roundabout ways are in vain. It is better to get straight to the point.

Lilia looked thoughtful.

She picked up her skirt, walked to a stone next to the courtyard, and sat down slowly.

Looking at the starry sky in a daze, Zong Shen still did not rush or disturb him.

Instead, he slowly came behind her and waited.

He knew that Lilia's brain circuit was different from that of normal people.

Therefore, it is impossible to communicate with her in the same way as normal people.

You have to invest more patience, just like coaxing a timid child.

Zong Shen knew very well that Lilia was cautiously approaching the world in a normal state.

This is probably the first time she has done this as a non-slayer.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten minutes passed.

Lilia retracted her gaze from the starry sky and looked at a green tree not far away.

She suddenly spoke again.

I have no idea.

...

This world feels strange and lonely to me.

I have no parents, no relatives, and no friends.

After the church's faith was separated from my will and no longer shouldered the mission of killing, all I felt was confusion and emptiness.

Because, I don't know what I want to do.

Even living is so meaningless.

She spoke very slowly, almost word for word, and her frustration was very obvious.

But because of this, Zong Shen felt the loneliness hidden in her words.

There was no immediate answer, and silence lingered between the two.

Zong Shen sat next to Lilia.

You might as well follow me.

Don't worry, I won't use you as a killing tool.

It's not a sin that you have great power.

Power can change the world.

If you want to sink like this and turn into a stubborn stone, it is better to try to experience a new life.

He also slowed down his tone and spoke calmly.

Lilia didn't answer immediately.

Her eyes were empty, and the light spots flowing in her eyes seemed gloomy.

Feel sorry…

In the end she shook her head.

Then he slowly stood up, and the black mist surged behind him, turning into a pair of magic wings and about to leave.

At this time, Zong Shen suddenly said.

The power within you is complex.

Any church would regard you as an evil heretic.

What awaits you is the lonely ending of living alone.

In that case, what's the difference from your original life where you couldn't help yourself?

You can stay in the territory for a while and there is no need to express your stance in a hurry.

Here you can experience normal life.

“No church hindrance.”

You and I both have a long life to make that decision anyway, don't we?

Seeing that direct wooing was useless, Zong Shen retreated and did the next best thing, letting her stay in the territory first.

Lilia was moved by this compromise plan and the pertinent proposal.

She still took her time before making a decision as before.

Okay...okay.

Thanks.

Zong Shen sighed slightly in his heart, this girl is really difficult to deal with.

You must do enough psychological construction.

After all, she was previously a war weapon of the church.

What the Sanji Church instilled in her was all nonsense.

The information that went against her nature disrupted her thinking.

It's not too late to let her stay in the territory first, and then slowly make her feel a sense of belonging.

In fact, the most important factor that made Lilia agree was to be able to experience the temptation of a normal life.

This was particularly attractive to her.

After temporarily capturing Lilia, Zong Shen did not relax.

He called Mariel and told her briefly about Lilia's situation.

Let Mariel prepare a small and secluded manor in the territory.

While he was making arrangements, Lan Xiaodai appeared out of nowhere.

The little guy now has great strength and can move freely throughout the territory, becoming a little overlord.

Lan Xiaodai fluttered his wings and landed.

In an instant, he transformed into a human form.

Huh?

Sister, who are you?

I feel a powerful aura.

She came to Lilia curiously and asked.

It has an impression on most of the powerful heroes and territorial citizens in the territory.

But Lilia is a stranger.

Zong Shen turned his head curiously, wanting to see what kind of sparks she and Lan Xiaodai would create.

But Lilia looked at Lan Xiaodai with the same curious eyes.

The eyes instantly turned black, but quickly recovered.

Are you a dragon?

My name is Lilia.

She answered word for word.

Hearing her speak, Lan Xiaodai became even more curious.

I am the mighty blue dragon.

Pure-blooded!

Sister Lilia, you smell weird.

It's both powerful and a little...well...complicated.

Lan Xiaodai pointed a finger at his chin and said thoughtfully.

Surprisingly, Lilia actually smiled slightly.

cute…

This almost compliment made Lan Xiaodai smile.

Its temperament is different from that of a normal blue dragon, more like a twelve or thirteen year old girl.

Sister Lilia is very beautiful.

The most beautiful human being I have ever seen.

Sister, will you be my friend?

Lan Xiaodai greeted warmly.

Today it has become friends with the giant bear Misha.

As a blue dragon, it is difficult for it to play with ordinary humans.

So it tries its best to find weirdos and aliens similar to itself.

This is an instinctive grouping.

Zong Shen stood calmly beside him, but secretly praised Lan Xiaodai in his heart.

This little guy’s wave of accidental assists might even prompt Lilia to join the territory!

Facing Lan Xiaodai’s friend request.

Lilia nodded without hesitation.

Didn't think too much about it.

Because she can feel that Lan Xiaodai is the same as her.

There is obviously evil in his body, but he has a clean mind.

It's a complex combination.

Just like before, her thoughts were shaken because she felt the mixed power in Zong Shen's body.

Compassion is the most powerful reason for persuasion.

OK.

‘I…will live in the Territory. ’

Come to me later.

After receiving a positive answer, Lan Xiaodai chuckled.

Very good.

Sister Lilia, we can go to Misha tomorrow...

At some point, Zong Shen hugged Mariel and left quietly.

When Xue Bing saw that everything was normal, he concentrated on reading again.

It wasn't very interested in Lilia.

As a condensed body of rules and divine will, it does not have those sentimental thoughts and confusion.

After being trapped for so long, a little bit of freedom was a rare treat for him.

The hero responsible for placing Lilia arrived quickly.

Take them to a separate manor.

Lan Xiaodai was chirping all the way.

The atmosphere seemed particularly lively and cheerful.

…

At the same time, Zong Shen, who disappeared with Mariel in his arms, was already kissing her on a lonely tower in the territory.

There are many harems and he is busy, so naturally it is impossible for him to drink a bowl of water.

Luna, who is pregnant, deserves to be the main queen and deserves to be favored.

Mariel managed the territory for him and worked hard, so naturally he had to accompany her before leaving.

As they kissed, Zong Shen's hands became restless.

This made Mariel's cheeks blush.

She catered to him warmly, and the love in her heart outweighed her shyness.

The two figures intertwined and overlapped, gradually blending into one in the dark night.

After a long time, they slowly separated.

The panting and chanting disappeared, leaving only gentle whispers.

Sir, I also want to have your child...

Mariel whispered in Zong Shen's arms.

She traced circles with her fingers, but her tone was filled with envy.

This kind of thing depends on timing.

let it go.

To be honest, as his strength increases, the pregnancy rate is slowly decreasing.

I don’t know if it’s because the strength gap between the girls and him is too big.

When Luna was born, the strength gap between her and Zong Shen was not so big.

At that time, when Zong Shen did not activate the state transformation, his normal state was equivalent to that of a fourth-level or fifth-level soldier.

The strategy module for this question gave an answer that fit his guess.

Now if you want the girls to conceive babies, they must at least be promoted to the legendary level.

Only in this way can we have a more normal hit rate.

Otherwise, his tadpoles would not be able to integrate with it.

He also considered the issue of reproduction.

Before becoming stronger, it would be a good thing to leave some heirs.

Especially now that he has the power to protect himself.

So he is also considering this issue.

Seeing that Mariel was a little depressed, he took the initiative to comfort her.

Don't worry, I will find a way during this time. (End of Chapter)
