Global Lords: I Have Information System-Chapter 568 - 393: The Lustful Poet, Harold Returns to Bang City

The 70-point affinity boost is not enough to make him go against his will.

After chatting aimlessly for over ten minutes, Englandmu finally remembered the time.

He said he needed to leave and continue his journey.

Judging by the pace of the ordinary Grassland Horse he rode,

it would take at least half a month to reach Lentax Giant City with pauses along the way.

The thousands of kilometers wouldn't be smooth sailing.

The road conditions are one thing; potential dangers along the way are another.

Therefore, he might not cover much ground during the night.

As a young Minstrel, he doesn't even have an attendant following him yet.

Let alone being like Zong Shen, who could travel with a team of Tier Four Cavalry without concern.

Given the circumstances, arriving in just over half a month would already be considered fast.

This would mean needing to cover two to three hundred kilometers per day.

The reward Zong Shen had previously given him was enough to cover his travel expenses.

This meant he could perform less often and spend more time on the road.

Zong Shen escorted Englandmu to the outside of the Lord's Courtyard.

His white Grassland Horse was tethered conveniently by the door.

The cold wind outside was biting, with the temperature dropping significantly.

This prompted Zong Shen to put on the Exquisite Bear Skin Coat over his battle armor.

It was not only to resist the cold but also to further verify a hypothesis he had.

Englandmu mounted his horse, placed his Vieille, and adjusted the packing on the horse's back.

Turning around, he happened to see Zong Shen putting on the coat.

This made him feel quite puzzled.

Before swearing allegiance to Zong Shen, his identity was still that of an Indigenous Person.

The weather he perceived was quite different from what Zong Shen did.

Seeing Zong Shen don a coat now, he naturally couldn't fathom what was going on.

However, no law stated that coats couldn't be worn casually.

In the end, Englandmu wisely chose to say nothing.

Zong Shen personally led him to the west side of the Inner City District.

This direction pointed towards the location of Lentax Giant City.

With a wave of hands, the two bid farewell, and then Englandmu rode off on his white horse at a steady pace of twenty to thirty kilometers per hour towards the west.

Zong Shen watched as Englandmu's expression was cast into his memory.

Due to the challenge's isolation, the Lord's actions seemed bizarre to the Indigenous People.

After days of research and interaction,

Zong Shen had come to understand a profound truth.

That is, Indigenous People are not idiots!

In contrast, many Indigenous People possess considerable wisdom and reasoning abilities.

From a logical analysis standpoint, there's virtually no difference between Indigenous People and Lords.

During the Burrow Challenge period, interactions were limited between Lords and Indigenous People.

In such a vast world, even with many illegal settlements popping up in the wilderness,

local Native Forces needed at least ten days or even dozens of days to conduct validation checks.

The response efficiency of the Indigenous People is not as high as Lords imagine.

But they are definitely not stupid.

Especially now, as Lords are proximate to villages or cities to purchase supplies.

Some even seek work opportunities, striving to earn Dinar.

While some reckless Lords opt for robbery or theft as a means to acquire money and resources.

Interactions between the two groups are becoming increasingly frequent.

Many Native Forces have taken note of these inexplicably appearing individuals.

They are often crude and impolite, even uncompliant with rules.

With the Frosty Winter Challenge approaching, it's possible that Native Forces may spot anomalies.

Any Native Forces outside the Northern Territory or other special cold regions have the potential to discover issues.

Things are indeed getting more interesting.

Zong Shen watched Englandmu's silhouette fade into the distance without expression.

Then donned his thick Bear Skin Coat and returned to the Lord's Courtyard.

...

Meanwhile, within the central area of Boss Bang.

Harold Chebman, Baron Bezos' eldest son,

returned to Bang City with a squad of Light Cavalry.

After handing these Light Cavalry over to Sheriff Zachary Osborne,

he surged through the entrance of the central area.

And headed towards the castle.

Baron Bezos was, as usual, trimming the gardens not far from the castle.

This was one of his daily habits.

While focusing on horticulture, he could find inner peace.

For Baron Bezos, this was a relaxing way.

Upon entering the central area, Harold declined the servants who wished to lead his horse.

Pressing the horse's flanks lightly, he ran toward the garden area.

He needed to see his father immediately!

The steadily approaching sound of hooves captured Baron Bezos' attention.

He put away his pruning shears and turned towards the source of the sound.

Upon seeing his son Harold approach, a loving smile spread across his face.

He quickly climbed down the ladder and set the shears aside.

Harold rode towards his father, and stopped six meters away by reining in the horse.

As the horse decelerated, he agilely dismounted, walked a few steps with the horse,

and then released the reins.

The series of actions appeared both graceful and urgent.

Baron Bezos looked at his son approaching head-on and opened his arms.

The two embraced tightly.

After kissing each other's cheeks, they parted.

"Good day, Father."

Harold nodded slightly, greeting his father.

Baron Bezos nodded back.

"Son, how is the situation in Odu Village?"

"Did Lord Kunyel defeat those Church Heretics?"

He asked with concern, as due to his age he seldom went on expeditions himself.

Upon hearing his father's question,

Harold's expression was less than favorable.

The gloom from his brows and eyes began to gather.

He shook his head somewhat dejectedly.

"Odu Village is completely destroyed."

"The Expeditionary Army led by Lord Kunyel sustained heavy losses."

"Chaos erupted in the village at the end, with over a thousand illegal armed forces flooding in."

"These forces took all the villagers previously captured by the Church Heretics."

"The Expeditionary Army eventually defeated the Church Apostle Corps and captured three Saint Elders."

"But the most crucial figure among them."

"The Church Saintess was rescued by an unknown person."

Harold relayed the information candidly.

While speaking, he extracted a sheepskin scroll from his satchel.

"This is the portrait drawn by Lord Kunyel."

"Once he returns to the Giant City, related wanted notices will be issued."

"In addition, Lord Kunyel requested us to thoroughly investigate all settlements in the area."

"Newly emerging illegal settlements must all be registered."

"Any with suspicious activities or heavily armed forces need a strict examination."

Listening to his son's words, Baron Bezos displayed a solemn expression.

He reached out to receive the sheepskin scroll.

Gently unfolded it before his eyes.

Upon seeing the person depicted in the scroll, his eyelid twitched subconsciously, and his pupils constricted.

This unusual reaction lasted only a moment before he adjusted his facial expression.

The scroll depicted a figure on horseback of a large armored swine.

Though it was merely a back view, Baron Bezos understood who this person was.

Under the constraint of maximum affinity, his attitude toward Zong Shen reached a life-and-death level of friendship.

"Whew..."

He sighed lightly, slowly rolled up the scroll.

Looking at Harold's earnest expression, he showed a hint of a loving smile.

"Good child, you've worked hard."

"Leave this matter to me."

"Now, what you need is a good rest."

"Investigations take time too."
