Global Lords: I Have Information System

At the same time, according to the ranking, you can bring a certain number of followers to the banquet.

As a minstrel, Englandmu naturally had no reason to miss such a grand event.

Just by attending the banquet, there’s a chance to meet those noble ladies.

Perhaps a wonderful encounter might happen.

All minstrels yearn for and look forward to this.

However, ordinary minstrels are generally not on the guest list of the nobles.

As the great nobles in the Giant City, their banquets only invite the elite.

Of course, they might also invite renowned traveling merchants to sing at the banquet.

Young minstrels like Englandmu, however, have no such opportunity.

Thus, he needs to build a good relationship with Zong Shen.

This also counts as a form of networking.

Although he doesn’t know Zong Shen’s true strength, seeing him fully armed.

Englandmu can tell that Zong Shen’s personal combat power is definitely not low.

The tournament does not have many requirements regarding the participants’ background and identity.

However, there are some age requirements.

Before the tournament, there will be a unique magical detection to quickly determine the participants’ bone age.

This detection magic can also filter out races.

To prevent some long-lived or formidable individuals from participating through means like the Transformation Technique.

The tournament is for young people!

Even if it can’t ensure absolute fairness, it must guarantee relative fairness.

After all, the purpose of the tournament is to select young talents from the non-noble community.

As long as Zong Shen can enter the top three, he can ask Zong Shen to take him to the banquet.

If Zong Shen’s strength fails, and he loses in the tournament.

Then Englandmu will simply consider this visit as making a friend.

At least, in the previous chanting performance, Zong Shen rewarded him with a large sum of money.

A full 1000 Mainland Continent Universal Dinar, with this money, he can focus on the journey.

Quickly reaching the Lentax Giant City.

...

In the territory, Englandmu officially visited.

On that dirt road west of Boss Bang, Zong Shen was leading the team on a strenuous journey.

They had been trekking continuously for more than two hours, crossing that Desert Zone.

During the day, the Desert Zone was relatively calm.

Along the way, they encountered many caravans and passing villagers.

After passing through the Desert Zone, it was already past three in the afternoon.

In just over three hours, it would be dark.

By then, the Shark Lizard lurking underground would awaken and begin the night hunt.

So, this time period now is also the busiest time for passing through the Desert Zone.

Only after completely crossing the Desert Zone did Zong Shen order a rest by the roadside.

Now he finally saw clearly what was drawn on the roadside sign from the earlier journey.

A simple sketch of a Shark Lizard was drawn on it, below which was written in Continent Common Language.

”Beware of Shark Lizard groups ahead,

Do not travel at night.”

The surface of the sign was quite weathered, but it must be wiped frequently, as it didn’t have much dust on it.

Zong Shen quietly looked at this sign.

He was in such a hurry on the way here and eager to hit the road.

The questions about the Desert Zone in his mind had not been pondered over.

Shark Lizards count as a kind of fierce magical beast.

They are inherently ferocious, active at night, and their existence in this world is simply to fill their stomachs.

The most suitable environment for their survival should be those arid deserts.

These Shark Lizards can easily fracture the soil layer.

And use their Earth Element magic hydrogen to expel moisture from the soil.

Creating a desert zone suitable for their survival.

The climate around Boss Bang is a typical temperate grassland climate.

This makes this Desert Zone, stretching dozens of kilometers, seem very peculiar.

According to previous private traveling merchants, this place was once normal grassland too.

It was after the appearance of these Shark Lizards turned the grassland into a desert.

Moreover, this Desert Zone has existed for over a hundred years.

Aside from the situations mentioned above.

There is another extremely suspicious point.

That is, in these hundred years, the Shark Lizard has not crossed boundaries to further expand the desert.

In such a lengthy period, they could have expanded the Desert Zone dozens of times over.

Other than those solid rocks they find challenging to desertify.

The ordinary soil has all had its moisture rapidly expelled by them, turning into dry dust.

The expansion of the Desert Zone would mean an expansion of the hunting range.

But for a hundred years, the Shark Lizard clans have been unmoved.

Even keeping a buffer zone with the human activity areas.

Zong Shen pondered quietly, the more he thought, the more he found it odd.

So he began seeking assistance from the Guide Module.

”How did the Shark Lizards appear in this area?”

”Why don’t they expand their territory?”

(In the world’s underground, there exist many space nodes, each space node connects to a unique space. These unique spaces have various characteristics, collectively referred to by the wisdom of the Endless Continent as Unknown Regions.

The sizes of these Unknown Regions vary, they adhere to the world’s crystal wall system, possessing unique cyclic ecosystems. No one knows what kind of space lies behind the nodes.

Within these spaces often nurture treasures with unique characteristics, but simultaneously harbor numerous dangers.

Among them, it might be a shadowy world filled with shadows and carcasses, or perhaps filled with magma.

Such records have appeared numerous times on the Continent.

Underneath the Desert Zone, there happens to be a space node connected to a desert space.

Within it dwells a large number of Shark Lizards and various Desert Race.

In that space dwells an epic-level Earth Element Magic Gemstone and other treasures.

Space nodes are usually isolated by solid space crystal walls.

But a low-intensity earthquake occurred a hundred years ago, causing slight loosening of the space node below, allowing some Shark Lizards to cross over.

Their leader possesses high wisdom, having initially explored the conditions of the aboveground world, it decisively chose to hibernate. No one would want to go head-to-head with the Bang City Army unless they were fools.

However, the crystal wall of the space node below has not completely opened, merely in an unstable state.

In the Endless Continent, there have been more than once recorded invasions of Unknown Regions.

Due to territorial limitations, the final outcome for those creatures living within them is either annihilation or enslavement, though they can cause significant destruction.

Simultaneously, each Unknown Region attracts countless adventurers and opportunists.)

This time the guide hint was particularly long, narrating the ins and outs of the Shark Lizards’ appearance.

It turns out there is a space node here leading to an Unknown Region.

This could explain why the Shark Lizards suddenly appeared here.

Moreover, the leader of the Shark Lizard clan is extremely cunning, able to maintain moderation.

It didn’t trigger an all-out war to the death, merely occupying this area covering dozens of kilometers.

Creating a kind of peculiar balance.

The lifespan of Shark Lizards is much longer than that of humans.

Generally reaching several hundred years, they’re also a kind of long-lived race.

However, it is certain that the hibernation of this Shark Lizard clan is just to wait for an opportunity.

If the Unknown Region is likened to a small pool.

Then the Endless Continent is a vast ocean.

No species living in the Unknown Region can resist the desire to occupy the aboveground world.

”So, this space node is definitely a hidden threat near Boss Bang.”

”Once the crystal wall of this space node completely disappears...”

”The desert aliens might completely sweep over the aboveground world.”

”Especially the jurisdiction of Boss Bang would bear the brunt.”

”Ten thousand Bang City Army might not be able to stop the unknown number of aliens.”

”By the time the Giant City dispatches expeditionary forces, the jurisdiction of Boss Bang might already be devastated.”

Zong Shen thought with some concern in his heart.

The more he knew, the more mysterious this world seemed to him.
