Zong Shen's performance made Alanna feel less awkward.

She is clearly the prince and noblewoman, the princess of Pendragon.

But when facing Zong Shen, I still can't help but feel inexplicably nervous.

It's as if there is some kind of natural deterrent.

So every time Alanna meets Zong Shen, it's like a child seeing a stern teacher.

It's not that I feel uneasy, I just feel weak unconsciously.

Maybe it's because of his identity as the Chosen One, or maybe it's because of the memory of the slave period.

No matter what, Zong Shen holds great weight in her heart.

Zong himself understood this.

So every time he meets Alanna, he will act as gentle as possible.

The fifth princess is a poor person, there is no need to use coercion and intimidation methods on her.

Zong Shen was seen sitting opposite her like an old friend.

Then he took out a bottle of purple rare wine from the storage compartment with a smile.

He pulled off the strong cork cork with his bare hands and filled a cup for Alanna and himself.

"A drink?"

Alana doesn't usually drink.

So Zong Shen used a probing tone after he was gently pushed over.

"good."

Lowering her head, Alana said in a delicate voice.

She always maintains a disguised ugly appearance in her territory.

Currently, Zong Shen is the only one in the territory who knows her true identity.

Even Howie and Mariel didn't know the inside story.

It's just because of Alanna's diligence and Zong Shen's special greeting asking them to take more care of her.

That's why I pay more attention to Alanna.

I have to say that her disguise was quite successful.

At least it was hidden from most people in the territory.

The two picked up their wine glasses, touched them lightly and each took a sip.

Zong Shen took a look at the dishes on the table, which were both unfamiliar and familiar.

It seems to be a new cuisine developed using some Chinese cooking methods.

Clap your hands and ask the waiter to bring you a new set of cutlery.

Instead of asking for a knife and fork, he chose chopsticks.

This thing has not been promoted in the territory yet, but it was given to the chefs along with the recipes.

Therefore, chopsticks can be found in the few pilot restaurants in the territory.

Holding the chopsticks made from tree branches, Zong Shen took a bite of the dishes on the table.

Alana's appetite was very shallow and she barely moved.

The first dish looks a bit like twice-cooked pork.

This is a change from the previous dining style of Endless Continent which was either light or served with cream sauce.

This plate of stir-fried pork has a bit more flavor, but unfortunately there is no soy sauce, which makes it a bit boring.

It seems that the manufacturing technology of soy sauce needs to be figured out at some point.

Compared with the bland sauces of Endless Continent, that stuff is the essence of Chinese food.

Zong Shen estimated that there must be people among the lords who have mastered the relevant technology and are trying to reproduce soy sauce.

If this thing is researched and put up for sale in the [market], it will definitely sell well.

If nothing else, the surviving Chinese lords of 600-700 million will buy up the soy sauce.

Wei Wucha shook his head and slowly put down his chopsticks.

Just in time to see Alanna looking at him quietly.

The moment their eyes met, Alana quickly lowered her head again.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm not a man-eating monster."

"Your majesty, your majesty, you don't even dare to raise your head."

Zong Shen joked with a smile.

After hearing what he said, Alana slowly raised her head.

"The lord has conquered the giant city of Lentax?"

"Since last night, there has been some noise in the territory."

Alana asked softly.

Zong Shen nodded very openly.

"Almost."

"The city is in ruins."

"The defenses of the third circle have been almost completely destroyed."

"But excluding those killed and lost in battle, the vast majority of the population of the giant city of Lentax is under my control and is being transferred to the territory in an orderly manner."

"The same goes for most of the supplies and wealth of the giant city of Lentax."

Regarding Zong Shen’s departure to conquer the giant city of Lentax.

Alana also heard a little about it.

As a huge city with tens of millions of people, it is not an easy task to conquer or annex it.

I just didn't expect Zong Shen to actually succeed.

Moreover, Alanna knew that Zong Shen did not bring many people with him.

In other words, he took down the giant city of Lentax completely single-handedly.

Even just gaining population and wealth is already a very remarkable feat.

But at this moment, she didn't know what to say.

So there was silence again.

Strictly speaking, communicating with someone like Alanna is very difficult.

But he could understand it, so he didn't mind.

Zong Shen smiled, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, ready to talk about business.

"I recently received some news about the old King Guther."

"Do you want to hear it?"

When she heard the name "Guser", Alana couldn't help but tremble.

Then she nodded slowly.

"think."

This answer made Zong Shen curl up his lips.

"Old King Guser is not dead yet."

"Part of the conservative forces and the knights who once loyal to him are still protecting him."

"At the same time, we collected some life-extending things."

"But the situation of old King Guser is more troublesome."

"Failed baptism is just a symptom."

"What caused him to fall into endless decay was the curse that devoured life in his body."

"This curse caused his life to wither quickly, and there was not much left in his life."

"It can be said to be the main culprit that caused all this."

"And because the effect of the curse is extremely overbearing, even those treasures that can extend lifespan are greatly reduced."

"A treasure that can last for twenty years can only extend its life by half a month."
