Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

At this time, Zongze had already taken off his equipment.

She changed into a plain white robe.

On her feet is a pair of leather sandals, which look simple and monotonous.

There is only a brooch with an orchid grass pattern on her chest.

Representing his identity as a garden steward.

Since there is no special disguise, an Oriental face like Zongze still looks very strange.

Compared with his elder brother, Aze's appearance is more delicate.

In layman's terms, Zong Ze is more polite than Zong Shen.

In terms of facial features alone, the two brothers are very similar.

Even without the charm blessing, they look pretty good.

With the bonus of charm and temperament, Zongze definitely surpassed most of the aborigines in the imperial city.

After getting permission from Queen Svetlana, although he was excited, he still maintained a calm expression.

After passing the two frosty maids, he went straight to Queen Svetlana and knelt down on one knee.

My great Queen, it is my greatest honor to meet you.

When you come here, the flowers in the garden seem to become more beautiful.

He lowered his head submissively, and flattering words came out of his mouth.

Hehehe...

No need to pretend, there are no outsiders here.

Tina and Emma are my trusted maids.

A majestic arcane mage, but he is working as a steward in the back garden.

I guess your purpose here should be consistent with the other guys who tried to get close to me during this time.

Because Zongze removed his cover, Queen Svetlana was able to see his depth.

Through simple observation methods, it is not difficult to discover his identity as an arcane mage.

There are not many arcane spell casters at the seventh level. In some giant cities, they can even lead a mage tower by themselves.

Hearing this, Zongze felt somewhat caught off guard.

He thought of many ways to open it, but he never thought that Queen Svetlana would choose to directly open the skylight and speak out.

This almost open-label communication method made Zongze somewhat uncomfortable.

At the same time, it also greatly increases the difficulty of the Queen's strategy.

It means that Queen Svetlana is different from ordinary Aboriginal people.

Now that his disguise was exposed, Zongze no longer knelt down on one knee.

He stood up calmly, patted the dust on his knees, smiled and introduced himself in a gentle tone.

Her Royal Highness the Queen is indeed a darling with both beauty and wisdom. Zongze praised him without hesitation.

After a slight pause, he continued: You really see everything clearly.

After saying that, he paused for a moment, then began to look directly into Svetlana's eyes without concealing the heat in his eyes.

I do come here for your affection.

As soon as these words came out, the two maids couldn't help but look surprised.

Even Queen Svetlana herself narrowed her eyes slightly, seemingly curious about this straightforward and bold answer.

She did find that recently, especially in the past half month, there were many new faces inside and outside the palace.

Without exception, these new faces are all good-looking young men.

Everyone talks sweetly and tries every means to get close to them.

Although she wanted to take revenge on King Gray, she would occasionally look for suitable people to have sex with.

But not all cats and dogs can catch her eye.

It is not as hungry and debauched as the rumors within the aristocratic group.

Rather than saying that she did this to vent her desires, it was better to say that she was doing this to vent her emotions.

Therefore, she quickly figured out the whole story of the actions and plans of those with malicious intentions.

As a talented girl who has been deeply involved in magic, her exploration in the spiritual realm is better than the physical realm.

Not to the point of being dominated by desire.

Therefore, those self-righteous aristocratic groups are too arrogant and underestimate her.

You know, once upon a time, this continent was also ruled by women.

Recently she has discovered a dozen guys with similar ideas.

Yesterday, I learned from a close confidant that a new person had been placed in the back garden.

She came here specially at noon today.

She originally thought that this guy was similar to the people she had discovered before, they were all ungrateful men who thought they were charming.

But when she used her mental power to investigate, she clearly discovered the secret of Zongze.

Unlike other flies, Zongze is a seventh-level arcane magician.

There was also an extremely refined sense of magic power, which made her a little strange.

Hence the scene that happened before.

Zongze, meanwhile, was equally surprised by Queen Svetlana's reaction.

There was no refutation or justification.

But Zongze still maintained a gentle smile.

Not only did this smile not disappear, but it became more candid.

You're right.

I'm here just for you.

Zongze is calm, unhurried and polite.

This contrasting performance was beyond Queen Svetlana's expectations.

She opened her mouth slightly, and a smile finally appeared on her fair face.

You're more interesting than those people.

To be able to become a seventh-level magician, you must know a lot about magic.

What's more, what you master is the arcane system known as the 'Elemental Balm'.

Queen Svetlana completely put away her solemn expression and asked softly in a friend-like tone.

Then Zongze clapped his hands gently without waiting for an answer.

The two confidant maids immediately took out the tea sets from the storage jewelry, as well as the exquisite snacks prepared in advance, and even moved out a long log table and two chairs.

Putting them face to face, they began to prepare refreshments.

By the way, I held up a huge gauze umbrella.

It's enough to block the direct sunlight without leaving any light at all.

A magic water curtain is raised on the other side to adjust the surrounding temperature.

The seemingly simple layout is also full of sophisticated feeling.

sit down.

The arrangement was quickly completed.

Queen Svetlana took off the decorative band on her wrist and tied up her hair.

The water curtain next to her turned into gentle water and washed her hands.

Then the queen looked at him.

Zongze knew it well and did not take out the staff, but just crossed his fingers.

A ball of water immediately separated from the water curtain, wiping his hands like a bath towel.

If an ability like [Eye of Magic Sense] is turned on at this time.

You can find that the tiny arcane threads control the condensation and movement of the water element like a puppet. This is an extremely exquisite control method.

If you don't have enough understanding of arcane and elemental magic, you won't be able to use it at all.

This small operation is enough to prove his attainments in the field of magic.

It also made Queen Svetlana's eyes look at him slightly softer.

Although Earl Bliss and the Western Noble Alliance he represented were wrong in their intelligence.

But brother Zong Shen is still as awesome as ever.

Svetlana's love for magic runs deep in her bones.

It almost became instinctive.

As long as you show your spellcasting talent, you can subtly gain favor.

Those noble alliances that plan to send people to attack Queen Svetlana probably don't have such conditions.

After all, the seventh-level magister is no cabbage.

It is even more difficult to find an unknown magician in the kingdom.

As a lord, Zongze does not belong to the aboriginal category.

All information is more secretive than that of ordinary aborigines.

This hand is playing a hidden card!

But it turned the situation around just right.

Give him the opportunity to turn from passive to active.

You know, there aren't many opportunities like this.

He could see that Queen Svetlana also had the desire to talk later because of her own magic level.

Now that I'm ready to sit down and talk.

Then this thing is most likely good than bad.

So he accepted Svetlana's afternoon tea invitation with peace of mind.

In this small back garden, have a formal conversation after the first contact.

Not long after, scalding black tea was poured into the cup.

A rich aroma rises.

The black tea here is slightly different from the tea on Earth.

The aroma is stronger, and there will be a certain short-term gain effect after drinking it.

After taking her seat, Svetlana said no more.

The two sides maintained a tacit silence and looked at each other.

“Don’t be shy and try these royal desserts.”

Queen Svetlana acted as if the conversation had never happened before.

This made Zongze increase his vigilance level again.

Because Svetlana is definitely not the silly sweet girl mentioned in the Western Noble Alliance intelligence.

Without any hesitation, he kept smiling.

Then he nodded submissively and picked up a piece of dessert in front of him with his fork.

Put it in your mouth and chew it slowly.

From his perspective, these desserts have graduated colors.

Food that is beneficial.

And the top level colors are all purple at last.

If these desserts were among the lords, they would definitely be regarded as valuable short-term buffs.

After eating a piece of dessert, Zongze put down the fork in his hand.

Queen Svetlana, who was sitting opposite, looked sideways at the flower garden not far away.

There was a piece of pink dessert on the silver fork in his hand, and a bite was taken from it, leaving a small row of neat teeth marks.

After a few seconds, she looked back and met Zongze's gaze.

He immediately took the entire piece of dessert into his mouth.

After chewing and swallowing, he took a big sip of black tea.

He put down the tea cup, picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of his lips lightly, and then said seriously.

I can see that you have an extremely deep sense of magic.

It is impossible for the Western Noble Alliance to send a high-level spellcaster like you to perform such a boring and low-level task.

She stated her opinion directly.

Zongze smiled and said nothing, but he was muttering in his heart.

Is this mission boring and low-level?

No, conquering the queen is the highest pleasure in gaming life!

This task made him feel more and more exciting.

On the surface, he didn't say anything, and was patiently waiting for Queen Svetlana's next words.

After pondering for a moment, she continued.

So you might as well abandon the Western Noble Alliance and cooperate with me instead.

Queen Svetlana finally spoke her true mind.

Just now, Zongze had already considered the possibility of this situation.

First of all, the Western Noble Alliance must not be offended easily.

Because his territory is in the west of the kingdom.

Even if the territory may not be exposed, if you are not careful, it will become a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.

How will Zongze hang around the territory from now on?

Secondly, Queen Svetlana cannot refuse easily.

So he asked softly with a thoughtful look on his face: What should I say?

Queen Svetlana has no intention of hiding this.

I know that both the Western Nobles Alliance and the Northern Nobles Alliance are trying to find a breakthrough from me.

Including important royal family military deployment secrets.

To contain Gray in the upcoming war.

We can take advantage of that.

You delivered false information on my behalf, causing both participants in the war to suffer losses.

The more Queen Svetlana spoke, the sharper her eyes became.

The look in someone's eyes that wants a knife cannot be hidden.

This made Zongze couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

He swore that if he had the chance to be king in the future, he would never make anyone his queen.

In his mind, the queen has become synonymous with backstabbing.

No matter whether the king does well or not, if he is slightly careless, the queen may betray him.

Instead of doing this, it’s okay if the queen doesn’t want her.

He is from Earth and has no idea about the way the family unites.

If it is just for the purpose of venting lust, there is no need to set up a queen at all, and there is no problem being a groom every night.

Thinking of this, he stopped thinking randomly.

Instead, he faced the sharp eyes and completely abandoned that polite attitude.

He raised the corner of his mouth and said softly: Then let's start chatting.

…

At the same time, there was a place more than 900 miles northwest of the giant city of Lentax.

There is a small rolling mountain range here.

On one of the raised hills, Zong Shen asked Hamis to stop.

The destination is here.

The bottom is not a hill, but a pile of rocks.

But over more than 10,000 years, as the soil accumulated, it gradually turned into a hill.

If you want to find the entrance to the ruins, you can first blast away the hill.

At that time, as long as you match the target object, you can use [Demon Hunter Illidan Stormrage's Heart-piercing Dagger (Broken)] to open the underground mechanism.

It is most convenient to use magic bombs for blasting.

Zong Shen quickly identified several locations that were most suitable for planting bombs.

He jumped off Hamis and used the [Magic Drilling Machine] to plant the magic bomb in a few rounds.

Then choose the right time to detonate.

After several roars in succession, the entire hillock was lifted.

The powerful magic bomb itself has building damage bonus and terrain destruction effect.

The impact of the blast was used to lift up more than a dozen boulders buried in the soil.

A bowl-shaped hollow appeared below.

There was a broken stone tablet stuck crookedly there.

Zong Shen looked around, and a prompt immediately appeared in front of his eyes.

[Demon Hunter’s Monument (Broken)]

The gray gradient color stands out.

It proved to be in a state of ruin and damage.

This is it!

…
