Chapter 172 - 172 Mysterious Force Of The Sandstorm Forbidden Land! Maid Sisters!

172 Mysterious Force Of The Sandstorm Forbidden Land! Maid Sisters!

In the living room of the Lord’s residence.

Zhou Zhou, Lu Ruyu, and Zhang Lansheng were seated.

As for the other members of the Starfire Mercenary Team, they were temporarily assigned to other rooms because there were too many of them.

“Tell me about the information you obtained about the Sandstorm Forbidden Land.”

Zhou Zhou went straight to the point with Lu Ruyi.

“Yes, my Lord!”

Lu Ruyi said respectfully.

“We started investigating immediately when we got back.”

“At first, we didn’t find anything.”

“Later on, we specially issued a bounty quest to investigate the Sandstorm Forbidden Land in the Adventurer Association. Only then did we know some internal information.”

“The person who provided the information is the nephew of the Vice President of our Adventurer Association. He’s also a White Silver-Tier Elementary Grade adventurer now.”

“According to him:”

“The Sandstorm Forbidden Land is not a restricted area.”

“It’s said that the danger of the Sandstorm Forbidden Land was not so great when the Sandstorm Forbidden Land first appeared a long time ago.”

“The experts of the Adventurer Association and the kingdom once organized a powerful team and entered the Sandstorm Forbidden Land.”

“The average strength of this team is above the Yellow Gold-Tier.”

“At that time, their strength was already the best in the vicinity.”

“In the beginning, this team could still maintain communication with the outside world after entering the Sandstorm Forbidden Land.”

“However, the communication of this team completely disappeared after only a day and night.”

“Only two days later did a member of the Adventurer Association escape from the Sandstorm Forbidden Land.”

“This member of the Adventurer Association is the vice president of the Adventurer Association that I mentioned just now.”

“He told the people at that time that the Sandstorm Forbidden Land was not a no man’s land.”

“In the deepest part of this place is a kingdom of the undead formed by hatred and loneliness.”

“That place is xenophobic and refuses any life form from the outside world to come to them.”

“The others were killed by the undead army there.”

“He only barely survived with the special treasures he brought from the Adventurer Association.”

“Later on, it was said that the people of the kingdom specially sent a stronger team to explore the Sandstorm Forbidden Land after they found out about this. There was even a hero in the team.”

“However, they realized that there was only an endless sandstorm in the Sandstorm Forbidden Land when they arrived. They didn’t see the other entrances and undead at all.”

“In the end, this matter could only be left unsettled.”

“It also became one of the unsolved mysteries of the Aurora Kingdom.”

Lu Ruyi said.

Zhou Zhou frowned slightly.

A Kingdom of the Undead filled with resentment and loneliness?

My territory actually borders such a mysterious force?

“Is the information reliable?”

Zhou Zhou asked.

“It should be reliable.”

“There are still missions to retrieve the bones and relics of the ancestors of the Sandstorm Forbidden Land in the Adventurer Association until now.”

“Such missions are classified as Extraordinary-Tier Advance Grade Quests among all the Adventurer Association missions.”

“Even though no adventurer has completed it yet.”

“But it’s still there.”

“It should be because the relatives and friends of the deceased are unwilling, or because the other factions are unwilling to give up the secrets of the Sandstorm Forbidden Land.”

Zhou Zhou nodded in satisfaction.

He thought for a while and suddenly had an idea.

If this faction really existed and no one else could enter.

Then could the mysterious caravan with the Supreme Blessing—Unlimited Right of Passage enter?

Zhou Zhou thought about it and felt that he could give it a try!

With Zheng Fugui and the others’ capabilities, even if they really could not enter, it would definitely not be a problem for them to protect themselves.

He came back to his senses and looked at Lu Ruyi.

“You guys did well this time.”

“Go and get your military merits from Elder Zheng tomorrow.”

“In addition, I’ll give you some rewards as development resources for your Starfire Mercenary Team as your Lord.”

Zhou Zhou waved his right hand.

500 White Silver-Tier Mist Cores, 500 soldier type Class Change Certificates, and 500 Sand Corpse Summoner Class Change Certificates appeared in front of the two of them.

“Take these rewards and develop yourselves and the Starfire Mercenary Team well.”

“In the future, if you encounter any valuable information, you can send it to Blazing Sun City. I’ll personally take a look at the important information.”

“I will give you more rewards if I think the information is good.”

“You have to increase your strength yourself.”

“Otherwise, I won’t be able to give you any good rewards.”

Zhou Zhou said.

Most of Lu Ruyi and the others were only at the Green Bronze-Tier.

Giving them the Silver-Tier Mist Core was already the limit. Otherwise, it would be wasting something on them that they could not use.

It was not bad for them to advance to the Green Bronze-Tier in such a short period of time, but Zhou Zhou naturally hoped that they would become stronger.

When Lu Ruyi and Zhang Lansheng heard that, they were immediately ashamed and excited.

They obtained 500 White Silver-Tier Mist Cores and a total of 1,000 precious Class Change Certificates with a wave!

Zhou Zhou felt restricted when giving them rewards because their strength was too low.

How rich must he be to say such a thing?

When they heard Zhou Zhou’s words, they even felt that he was worried because he did not know how to spend the Mist Cores in his hand.

Zhou Zhou was indeed worried.

He had too many Mist Cores in his hands now. Selling a portion of the gains from the Monster Ranches every day in his territory could bring him tens of millions of Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores!

It made him even richer when coupled with the loots and other gains from the daily battles, under the influence of the Perfect Loots.

Therefore, he wanted to spend some Mist Core to try everything he saw.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to do anything with the Mist Cores in his hands.

Then why would he keep them?

Spending them was the key.

However, even though he had a lot of Mist Cores, he would not spend them recklessly.

Being rich and being stupid were two different concepts.

After that, Zhou Zhou chatted with the two of them for a while more before asking them to leave. Before he left, he asked the two of them to call Zheng Fugui over.

He had already seen the Mysterious Caravan’s carriage return when he returned.

Zheng Fugui and the others should have completed today’s transaction and returned.

A moment later.

Zheng Fugui came in front of Zhou Zhou.

“Greetings, my Lord!” He said respectfully.

“How was your business today?” Zhou Zhou asked casually.

“Everything went well.”

Zheng Fugui said with a smile.

Zhou Zhou acknowledged.

That made sense.

Who dared to stand in the way of the Mysterious Caravan?

After that, he told Zheng Fugui everything that Lu Ruyi said.

“I’ll bring the caravan to the Sandstorm Forbidden Land to explore tomorrow.”

Zheng Fugui immediately said respectfully.

Zhou Zhou nodded slightly.

“Oh yes.”

“The commercial trade in Sand Gold City is already on the right track.”

“In the future, you can also try to collect some information as your transaction content other than normal transactions.” He said.

“Yes, my Lord.” Zheng Fugui said respectfully.

He did feel that there were fewer and fewer people looking for them to carry goods for trade in the past two days.

On one hand, it was because of the rise of Sand Gold City and the appearance of the business path.

On the other hand, it was also because other caravans had appeared in the territory and were snatching business from them.

These new caravans were formed spontaneously by the Subjects of Blazing Sun City and Sand Gold City when they saw the hidden business opportunities on the business path.

Zheng Fugui and the others did not care about such a small business to begin with.

Now that someone was doing it for them and the Lord had new instructions, they were naturally willing to give up this small cake to them to eat.

Zhou Zhou was deep in thought.

He now had a total of three channels of information.

The first was naturally Wu Tu’s reconnaissance team.

The second was Lu Ruyi’s Starfire Mercenary Team.

The third was the Mysterious Caravan led by Zheng Fugui.

Wu Tu was in charge of the basic map information, Lu Ruyi was in charge of the network information, and Zheng Fugui and the others were in charge of obtaining high-end information!

The three of them each had their own intelligence field and would almost never clash with each other.

Instead, they could complement each other.

“Now, I’ve built my basic intelligence network.”

“But it’s still in its infancy.”

“It can supplement development in the future.”

Zhou Zhou thought.

After that, Zheng Fugui left the Lord’s residence.

After a while.

“Reporting to my Lord.”

“Aliya and Atley request an audience.”

The voices of the catgirl sisters came from outside.

“Come in.”

Zhou Zhou was stunned before saying.

Soon, the catgirl sisters arrived in front of Zhou Zhou.

“Reporting to my Lord.”

“We’re here to serve you.”

Aliya said seriously.

Zhou Zhou: “…”

Their choice of words is very normal, but why did it sound so wrong to me?

Could it be that I’m not healthy anymore?

“There are guest rooms in the mansion.”

“You two find your own rooms.”

He came back to his senses and said.

“Yes, my Lord.”

The catgirl sisters said respectfully.

Aliya was still relatively calm while Atley was clearly more excited.

The two of them went out for a while and returned quickly.

“My Lord.”

“We’ve tidied up our room!”

Atley said excitedly.

Zhou Zhou nodded and took a sip of water. He looked up at the two of them and almost vomited the water he had just drunk.

“What’s wrong with your clothes?!”

He looked at their clothes and was dumbfounded.

At this moment, the catgirl sisters were actually wearing black and white maid clothes.

They wore white headdresses and trembling cat ears and an apron decorated with flounces and a white-collared plain dress.

Under the dress were white stockings, coupled with their young and lively appearance and unique Catman Race characteristics, they looked cute, delicate, and sexy.

Their eyes were blank.

“This outfit… is normal maid work attire.”

“Since we’re here to be the Lord’s maidservant.”

“Of course we have to wear formal work clothes to look professional.”

“This is what Legion Commander Bai told us.”

“Legion Commander Bai even said that…”

“We have to do our best to satisfy you if you have any other special needs.” Aliya said seriously.

Atley also looked at Zhou Zhou curiously.

“Does my Lord have any special needs?” She asked expectantly.

Zhou Zhou: “…”

Bai Yun, what kind of ideas are you instilling in them?!

“Well… not at the moment.”

“Take a seat first.”

Zhou Zhou was silent for a moment, not knowing what to ask the two of them to do.

The two of them sat beside Zhou Zhou.

Then, Zhou Zhou felt even more uncomfortable.

D*mnnit.

Is this how my evil Lord life is going to begin?

“Reporting to my Lord, Wu Tu requests an audience!”

Wu Tu’s voice came from outside at this moment.

“Let him in.” Zhou Zhou immediately said.

“Yes!” Aliya nodded and walked out of the room.

Soon, she brought Wu Tu to Zhou Zhou.

The young man looked at the Aliya sisters in a daze. Then, he looked at Zhou Zhou in admiration and relief.

Zhou Zhou: “…”

Don’t misunderstand me! I’m innocent!

“My Lord, I brought new map information.”

Wu Tu’s expression quickly returned back to normal.

In his impression, it was normal for a big shot like the Lord to have maids serving him.

It was already a little late for him to have maids to take care of him.

However, it was no big deal.

Then, he took out a large map and several small maps from his pocket and handed them to Zhou Zhou respectfully.

Zhou Zhou took it and looked at it.
