Global Lords: I Have Information System

Chapter 435: Chapter 331: When a Man Dies, the Falcon Faces the Sky; Magic Energy Mechanical Falcon

Through the background introduction of [Arthur’s Ring of Dominion], and combining it with recent understanding of the indigenous forces, Zong Shen has discovered some unusual situations.

Some issues that surpass the indigenous forces themselves.

This world seems to have been in a semi-stagnant state since the dimensional war more than ten thousand years ago.

After such a long time of development, rune technology, alchemy engineering, and magic energy technology have not made much progress, only becoming slightly more refined compared to over ten thousand years ago.

In essence, there has not been much progress, only some advancement in the refinement of applications.

Then, for thousands of years after the dimensional war, human kingdoms were established one after another, remaining in a relatively stable state until today.

Although there have been constant minor skirmishes, there hasn’t been a kingdom-level full-scale war for hundreds of years.

It’s as if an invisible hand is intervening in these indigenous kingdoms, stabilizing the entire system and world, allowing them to rest, recuperate, and accumulate wealth and resources.

It’s as if they are echoing the arrival of the Lords, preparing thousands of years in advance.

This is where Zong Shen finds it terrifying upon deeper thought.

The indigenous kingdoms are vast, yet they are like puppets manipulated by unimaginable existences.

However, Zong Shen certainly doesn’t qualify to worry for the indigenous people.

Compared to the indigenous people, the Lords are not much better. They were abruptly descended upon this otherworld, without any forewarning or explanation.

To be honest, the Lords and the indigenous forces are similarly just pawns, only their assigned missions and tasks are different.

No one wishes for their fate to be controlled by an unknown existence. When Zong Shen speculated this, a sense of despair and resignation arose within him.

He doesn’t know how to escape this mysterious and powerful existence, like an ant caught with no way to free itself.

Sometimes, knowing too much may not be a good thing, it can make you forget the path beneath your feet, troubled by untimely problems.

When one’s realm and strength are insufficient to solve problems, facing these issues only results in a sense of powerlessness.

At this moment, a golden subtitle slowly appeared. The Guide Module detected his emotional change, forcibly reviving a portion of its functions from dormancy.

(Don’t indulge in wild thoughts, and don’t scare yourself. The truth isn’t as simple as you see it. Strive for development, become the strongest Lord in this world, and in the future, you will have the opportunity to touch supreme secrets.)

The golden subtitles shone in front of Zong Shen’s eyes, like the rising sun in the east.

This time, the subtitle flickered in front of him for over ten seconds before slowly fading away.

”That’s right, just do it.”

”Who cares about the future now—if you die, everything’s over; if not, you’ll live for thousands of years!”

Looking at the subtitles, Zong Shen gradually regained his composure, sweeping away the untimely worries about the future. If he can’t take care of the present, who cares about his damn future.

”Peh!”

Zong Shen spat on the ground, as if in disdain for some supreme existence and also an expression of fearlessness towards the future.

Mental states are such that they can collapse or improve instantly, but as long as one is alive, the only enemy is one’s own fear.

After checking the details of the title skill and [Arthur’s Ring of Dominion], over twenty minutes have passed, and it’s now four in the afternoon.

In another two to three hours, it will be nearly dark. The clouds overhead have never cleared, and after a day’s time, they have only become denser.

According to the final announcement after the end of the challenge, the specifics of the next round of challenges will be announced by noon the day after tomorrow, and the challenge itself will begin the day after that.

Considering a seven-day challenge cycle, this challenge actually lasts only four days.

Everyone can learn the news a day in advance and make preparations.

Zong Shen can already imagine that two days from now, when the challenge details are released, various cold-resistant materials will definitely be frantically snatched by Lords.

The day before the challenge starts and the day after will be the peak of the buying frenzy. By then, Zong Shen can fully leverage his stockpile of cold-resistant materials to earn a profit.

Just after the Burrow Challenge, all surviving Lords have more or less some reserves, plus in these two days, everyone can resume gathering and exploration.

Zong Shen can take advantage of this opportunity to earn some wealth through normal market trade means, as the development of Zong Shen’s territory will still require a large amount of resources in the future.

As long as he earns fast enough, the bottleneck of development can’t catch up to him.

Zong Shen led his team to hide behind a small forest, while occasionally looking at the distant Odu Village. The bombardments had never ceased from the beginning to the end.

The direction where Zong Shen is located is exactly opposite to the position where the Expeditionary Army launched its offensive. From his location, nothing substantial can be seen, only some purple explosion halos on the dome, which is because the catapult’s landing points are right on the dome.

Seeing that several tens of minutes have passed again, yet the dome has not been breached, Zong Shen also began to feel impatient.
