"Northern Territory..."

"Speaking of which, this is not the first time that I have come across items related to the ancestors of the North."

Zong Shen looked at the bronze key in his hand, thoughtfully.

According to his geographical understanding of the current endless continent.

The Northland is under the rule of the Kingdom of Vaegia, but the entire Northern Territory is not like this.

In fact, the northern territory is very large, accounting for almost one-fifth of the total area of ​​the continent.

It is divided by the Great Wall of Despair, and continuing to the north is the Ever-Moving Area, which is also where the legendary White Walkers reside.

There are countless legends left by human ancestors there, as well as many corpses and traces of strange ghosts.

The White Walkers are the undead born from the eternal freeze curse. They obeyed the Night King's orders and once brought the terror of the undead to the continent.

But they are essentially different from undead monsters such as rotting corpses and skeletons.

Up to now, the White Walkers have not been out for thousands of years.

The most recent large-scale battle took place at the beginning of this era, when the Kingdom of Vaegia was first established. The human "little overlords" at that time formed a coalition. After a hard battle, they repelled the White Walkers.

The current human kingdom was established one after another.

It can be said that the towering Great Wall standing in the north is the best evidence to prove the terror of the White Walkers.

It is also a precious treasure left by our ancestors.

In addition to the legends and allusions of the Great Wall of Despair, Zong Shen had also obtained a dream bead called the "Three-Eyed Crow's Dream Bead (Unknown)" before, which was also related to the ruins left by the ancestors of the North.

In fact, originally Zong Shen only regarded the Northland as a special area in the Endless Continent that contained hidden dangers.

But now he has changed his mind.

Especially when he thought of the human overlords who had joined forces to fight against the invasion of the White Walkers in the North before the establishment of the human kingdom in this era, it reminded him of what Chen Rui once said about the second act and the third act...

Was the invasion of the White Walkers and the Night King's expedition the third act of the previous generation of lords?

It seems that the previous generation of lords passed the third act and successfully established the kingdom.

I just don’t know why, but he later became depressed and completely transformed into an aborigine of the Endless Continent.

Maybe after the third act, there is a fourth act and a fifth act. These are situations that even Chen Rui doesn't know about.

In other words, if the lords of Zong Shen's generation cannot break through the challenges step by step, they will eventually establish a kingdom and become the natives of the era in the eyes of the next generation of lords.

Thinking about it this way, it actually feels a bit sad.

You must know that the current indigenous people are simply lambs prepared for the development of the lords.

Of course, in the era of great competition in the future, there will definitely be some outstanding ones among the aborigines who will survive and even participate in this round of competition.

Just like the ethnic group that suffered the end of an era before but was not completely exterminated.

Today's elves, dwarves, orcs, and goblins are all like this.

Strictly speaking, they have crossed two dimensions and are about to usher in the third dimension.

Then the North may really be able to dig out some key clues.

After all, the ruler of the White Walkers, the Night King, has not been eliminated.

The area north of the Great Wall of Despair is still a restricted area on the mainland.

If you can get the City of Last Hearth, it will be like driving a nail into the North.

Moreover, it is also a seaport city, and a sea route can be opened directly.

Even the Chamber of Secrets itself is related to the Disaster of the White Walkers. There is a batch of so-called "dragon crystal weapons" hidden in it, which sounds similar to "blood-burning weapons" and has targeted damage to the White Walkers.

It may come in handy in the future.

Although the White Walkers are dormant now, their existence is reasonable, and the lord system must have its purpose.

If the White Walkers in the North land riot again in the future, then those "dragon crystal weapons" will be useful.

As for the actual control of Hearth City in the end, it comes second.

After all, if you want to maintain the normal operation of this fortress, you still need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources, and even so, its authority is not as good as the territory where the lord's courtyard exists.

However, there is no need to worry about these issues in the short term. The Kingdom of Avalon is located in the southeast of the mainland, far away from the northern border. To reach it, you need to go through multiple giant city-level teleportations. First, reach the Kingdom of Vaegia, and then sneak across.

The Great Wall of Despair, looking for the last Hearth City.

In addition, he can also choose to start by sea, find any eastern port of the Kingdom of Avalon, and head north along the continental border.

But with such a long coastline of the Endless Continent, it may take an exaggerated sailing time to reach the destination.

Zong Shen put away the keys and took out two bottles of excellent quality red wine from the storage compartment.

He uncorked the bottle with his bare hands and drank one himself, and handed the other bottle to Alpha.

“Don’t dislike low-quality wines of average quality.”

"You buy me coffee, and I buy you red wine."

Hearing what Zong Shen said, Alpha grinned, and his two rows of white teeth were particularly conspicuous.

He took the red wine from Zong Shen, shook it a little, put the bottle into his mouth and took a big sip, then raised the glass again.

Zong Shen also held a wine bottle, touched it to him from a distance, and then drank it all in one gulp.

With his current physique, even if he blew the bottle in one breath, he would still feel slightly tipsy, and he would not have the slightest trouble from above. After drinking the red wine, Zong Shen reached out and took the eleventh ball of light.

After piercing the light ball, a multi-edge red crystal column appeared in front of Zong Shen's eyes.

This thing is a bit like a crystal pillar, about the same thickness as your thumb, and about fifteen centimeters in length.

The upper and lower ends are double-pointed, and the lower end is four-sided prismatic.

The whole is crystal clear, with red mist inside.

If you look closely, you can see that these fog masses are moving slowly like nebulae.

Holding it in your hand naturally produces a sense of life.

Zong Shen just concentrated for a moment, and the golden subtitles appeared.

【Blood·Crystal(gold)】

[Quality: Epic]

[Active effect: blood storage (can store health points at a rate of 10 points per second when out of combat, up to 120,000 points, blood storage operation cannot be performed when the health value is less than 70%)

Blood Replenishment (The blood replenishment effect can be activated whether you are a warrior or out of combat. You can restore up to 15 health points per second, and receive the same amount of injury healing effect. However, limb fracture injuries cannot be restored in proportion. This effect has no cooldown and is placed in

It can also be used in the portable storage compartment)

Summon blood puppet LV50 (consumes 60,000 points of health reserve to summon 6 blood puppets with level LV50. Each blood puppet has 120 points of double resistance and 10,000 points of health, but does not have the ability to attack. The blood puppet can

Replenish your own health to friendly units around you at any time. The blood puppet can exist for up to 20 minutes and has a cooling time of 8 hours]

[Passive effect: Forced blood storage (you can force the wound where it touches to absorb 10 points of health per second and convert it into crystallized reserves until the upper limit of blood storage is reached)]

(Bringing a blood crystal is equivalent to carrying a bottle of passive blood-replenishing potion. You can store blood when you have nothing to do. It can be used in wartime to continuously restore your health without any additional operations on your part.

Normally, continuing a battle can provide you with a lot of battle endurance.

Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you, this thing can also be used to make materials for certain magical items, and the finished product will also have a similar 'blood-enriching' effect)

…

Zong Shen's eyes widened, and the piece of [Blood Crystal] in his hand could not be said to be precious. It could only be said to be a relatively practical item, which was equivalent to adding an extra layer of passive life recovery BUFF to himself.

As for [Storing Blood], it's easy, just bring Joan of Arc to you when the time comes.

Using Joan of Arc's heroic passive ability [Maid of Orleans], as long as you are within fifty meters of Joan of Arc, you can recover 6 points of health every 5 seconds.

Coupled with the active skill [Moon Healing Song] of the recently recruited sixth-level dark night unit - [Night Chanter], it can basically [reserve blood] without loss.

Based on the calculation of storing 600 health points per minute, it will take at least 200 minutes to fully store the upper limit of 120,000 points. Considering the actual situation, the [blood storage] operation can actually be completed in several times.

No matter what, this [Blood·Crystal (gold)] is still of great practical value.

Zong Shen held it in his hand and tried to "reserve blood" for a few seconds.

The life sensation appeared again, and the crystal in his hand seemed to be integrated with himself.

Dozens of health points were transferred and stored in the crystal, making the red mist inside become even brighter and more solid.

Afterwards, Zong Shen performed the [blood replenishment] operation again, and the dozens of stored health points were transferred back to his body without any loss.

This lossless two-way conversion is enough to prove its superiority.

When he looked at the twelfth ball of light, the [Blood Crystal (gold)] in his hand disappeared instantly and was put into the storage compartment.

Inside the twelfth ball of light is a scroll of space magic.

Zong Shen just looked at it for a moment and became interested in it.
