Chapter 679： : Zoe Chapterbitt

After the butler left, Earl Mullen slightly relaxed and frowned slightly.

"This child Zoe..."

"Why can't you be as sensible as May?"

Earl Mullen sighed in his heart.

He has two daughters, the eldest daughter named May Blair, 26 years old this year, is already the mother of three children, married to the younger generation of the Blair family, known as the Sunset Warrior, the most important mining state in the south City of Adeburgh.

Its strategic significance even surpasses that of Wentrobon.

Adeburgh is adjacent to the steel sand Gobi in the south, where there is the largest mining area in the southern part of the Nord Kingdom.

In addition to Adeburgh, there are many state cities and a giant city in that mining area.

It's just that Adeburgh, like Wentrobang, is by the river of Niwale.

The rivers near the mining area are all red, and a large amount of fine **** is deposited into the river.

The situation did not ease until Nivare had flowed for hundreds of kilometers.

The terrain of the steel sand Gobi is higher than that of the lower reaches, and the mineral reserves there are extremely rich. In the last era, the dwarves of the Three Forts once built a furnace there and opened up a large number of mines.

After the Nords took over, they have been mining for thousands of years, and they have not been exhausted.

Therefore, there are many [Blacksmith Shops] and [Workshops] in the nearby Bangcheng.

Many are under the direct control of the kingdom.

Adeburgh is an industrial state city that integrates ore mining, smelting, equipment forging, iron manufacturing, and engineering machinery parts manufacturing.

Coupled with the blessing of the Nivare River waterway, it has become extremely prosperous.

There are many high-level and even super-class craftsmen in the city.

Various races including dwarves, goblins, and humans.

Earl of Mullen's eldest daughter, May, was married to the head of Adeburgh, and changed the surname of Babbitt to Blair after her husband's surname.

Since May married Adeburgh, the exchanges between the two state cities have become closer.

The steel sand Gobi is not suitable for growing food. Except for the allocation of the kingdom, all the food needed is purchased from Wentrobang City. At the same time, in Adeburgh, the [Blacksmith Shop], [Workshop] managed by May's husband Reggie Blair Fang] and [Ore Smelter] transported all kinds of standard equipment, iron and ore raw materials below the fourth tier to Wentrobang City, and handed them over to the business group under his father-in-law, Earl Mullen.

All the profits were given to the Earl of Mullen, which was used as a deduction for food payments.

In fact, it was basically sending money to Earl Mullen.

Standard equipment below Tier 4 is extremely popular in Wentrobang, and it is a valuable commodity.

Those mercenaries and adventurers flocked to it.

Walking outside, you can often see some mercenaries and adventurers wearing the standard equipment of the Nord Kingdom.

It's just that these standard equipment will not be branded with the axe and hammer emblem of the Nord Kingdom.

In addition, the value of various ores and ironware is also much more expensive than grain.

Because it is "filial" to the old man, there are many magic energy crystals and elemental crystals of various levels.

As well as Adamantite, Mithril, and a few good-quality magic gems.

Earl of Mullen is also very satisfied with this.

Compared to his eldest daughter, Mey, his second daughter, Zoe Babbitt, worries him a lot.

Zoe is 21 years old this year, and she has already reached the age of marriage.

There were many young children of nobles from all walks of life who came to propose and pursue marriage, but Zooey did not look down on any of them.

Speaking of which, Zooey is more beautiful than May.

A Nord's signature brown hair was as smooth as it was polished.

Tall and tall, about 1.73 meters.

The appearance also perfectly inherits the advantages of the Nord woman, looking not only beautiful but also heroic.

When she put on women's light armor, she **** her brown hair, like a mighty general.

Originally, based on Zoe's appearance and family background, it is very likely that she will marry a young and promising aristocrat like May.

But Zooey was not interested in all suitors.

Growing up, she was not interested in painting, poetry, hand-knitting and the like.

Every day, she begged the old army commander of the Wild Axe Chapter in the city of Wendro to teach her the skills of holding axe.

So far, she is not only good at fighting with an axe, but also has a lot of experience with two-handed swords and single-handed heavy crossbows.

The physical quality in all aspects is no less than that of the fourth-order Nord warriors.

You must know that she has not undergone formal barracks training, nor has she been baptized.

Being self-taught and able to possess such strength is enough to see her talent in combat.

In addition, Zoe has dreamed of becoming an adventurer since she was a child.

This stemmed from a biography of the legendary adventurer Tim Ecklin that she read as a child

This book is the autobiography of a man named Tim Eckling.

Tells the story of his exploration of the continent over the years.

It describes many dangers and strange landscapes in the continent.

There are also various monsters and ferocious aliens.

Perhaps Zooey had a restless heart since she was a child.

She was fascinated by the descriptions in the book.

And take a word often said by Tim Ackerling as his life creed.

[In this world, the value of a person's life is measured by how far he has gone and how many people he has seen. 】

This sentence is regarded as a standard by Zoe, and she often talks about it.

It is worth mentioning that Tim Eklin is a real human legend peak powerhouse.

He even assisted several founding kings of mankind on the mainland, leaving a wealth of adventure stories and legends.

Basically a legend from the same era as the original king thousands of years ago!

He also has a book called "Endless Species Archives", which is a rare encyclopedia-like book.

It is divided into [Warcraft Chapter], [Beast Chapter], [Alien Chapter], [Plant Chapter], [Element Chapter], [Crypt Chapter], [Exotic Chapter].

The characteristics and appearance of hundreds of thousands of different species have been recorded.

Enough to fill several sets of bookcases.

It is a pity that this book only exists in legends and has never been circulated in the community.

Only the biography of the legendary adventurer Tim Eklin has been passed down to this day and has become one of the classic readings in various countries.

The existence of the "Endless Species Archives" is also due to the reasons mentioned in the biography.

There is also a legend that the seven volumes of the "Endless Species Archives" were given to Nord, Avalon, Vaegir, Sarand, Swadia, and Luo by Tim Eckling as a founding gift. The founding king of the seven kingdoms of Dok and Kugit.

But the specific situation is unknown.

It's also a fact that The Endless Species Archives didn't come out.

Since reading "The Legendary Adventurer Tim Ecklin Biography", Zoe has been obsessed with wanting to become a legendary female adventurer!

In the four years from the age of 17 to the present, she has run away from home three times.

The longest time, Zoe stayed in the green cypress forest for more than a month, and encountered the pursuit of the furbolg.

Hiding in the east, XZ, and sleeping in the wind.

When he was found by the mountain rangers sent by Earl Mullen, he was already unkempt.

Another time she disguised herself as a man and got on a Maneng Minglun merchant ship heading upstream.

He was stopped at the stone gate more than 20 kilometers away from the post, and his identity was revealed during the inspection.

The third time she ran away, she still disguised herself as a man, joined a group of traveling merchants as a scattered mercenary guard, and was going to cross the green cypress forest along the forest business road to the south.

After traveling for more than half a month, the caravan was attacked by a group of green forest thieves.

Everyone in the caravan was scattered, and Zoe was no exception.

Finally, after surviving in the wild in the green cypress forest for another week, she met a group of Nord sergeants who established a secret outpost in the outpost forest.

And then brought back to Bangseong...

Although there are dangers every time, Zooey can get through it safely.

In addition to her own small strength, she also wears a storage necklace of not low rank.

There are a lot of storable dry food and various foods in the internal storage space.

There are also tons of emergency items, clothing, magic scrolls, weapons and more.

There is even a lot of clean water that has been subjected to purification techniques.

All are packed in airtight, heavy duty buckets, which can be kept for decades due to purification techniques and relative airtightness.

These materials are enough for Zooey to deal with various dangerous situations.

Unless she is attacked by a large number of high-level enemies, but this probability is too low.

He did not know how many small-scale caravans he had in the Endless Continent.

Even a business group like the gold pocket watch can only be regarded as a medium-sized business group.

There are also countless adventurers and mercenaries.

Strictly speaking, it is a situation in which there are constant small dangers and no major dangers.

It's just that this time I don't know how long she's going to be prepared to mess around.

Earl Mullen walked for a while, and after the steward reported that he had notified the Ranger Commander, he stood up and said to the crowd.

"Then this meeting will end here."

"The relevant money and materials, the internal affairs officer of Bangcheng will contact you."

"Everyone, please report to me once you receive any news of unrest in the kingdom."

Earl Mullen put his hands on the table and announced his dissolution.

Everyone got up, either seriously, or lazy, or absently bowed to him.

Filed out from the side door of the conference hall.

The housekeeper had been on standby for a long time, and he stopped a few black street eyes alone and led them to the living room.

Tell them about Earl Mullen's account of looking for Miss Zoe.

These black street eyes are Little Ear Pata, Broken Finger Sassen, Black Blood Kaka, Withered Vine Mo, they represent the four blacks of Small Ear, Broken Finger, Black Blood and Withered Vine respectively street power.

These black street forces are not only active in Wentro State City, they are active in the entire southern part of the city and even in the imperial city, but the scale is different.

Just like Wentrobang City, there are dozens of local black street forces.

The small black street forces are indirectly controlled by the four major black street forces.

Also formed a pyramid-shaped structure.

After listening to the housekeeper's words, several black street eyes nodded and agreed, and they didn't seem to be surprised by Miss Zoe's running away from home.

"I will inform all the members of the severed finger to secretly inquire about Miss Zoe's whereabouts."

Severed Finger Sassen was the first to express his attitude.

"According to Miss Zoe's previous actions, she should be disguised."

"Little Ears will let all the tavern managers, including the mercenary group of Little Ears, pay attention."

Little Ear Pata also said quickly.

The remaining two black street eyes also expressed their positions, saying that they would immediately contact their subordinates to find the trace of Zoe.

The butler didn't say much, just nodded silently and expressionlessly.

The four then said goodbye and left.

It is not the first time that they have assisted Earl Mullen to find Miss Zoe.

As the people left, the Wentroe Central Castle was quiet again.

In the garden outside the castle, the countess sat worriedly on a bench.

She is a dignified lady.

"This child Zoe..."

As a mother, every time Zoe Babbitt ran away from home, she worried.

Zoe is a girl who is easily hurt.

Earl Mullen also left the conference hall at some point, and came to the garden from the castle path.

He knew that it was quieter here, and his wife often read and drank tea here.

So he walked over slowly, and made a silent gesture to the two maids beside him.

He quietly came behind his wife, and just when he was about to reach out to cover her eyes, his wife spoke up.

"My dear, after so many years, you still like to tease me..."

"I have long remembered your footsteps."

"You can't hide your steps from me."

Her words stopped Earl Mullen.

"Hey, are you still worried about Zoe?"

he asked softly.

The lady nodded and said sadly.

"When will she give up her dream of becoming an adventurer?"

Hearing the words, Earl Mullen sat next to her and took Madam's hand.

"Zoe's child has been like this since he was a child."

"We can't stop her..."

"You can only prepare as many self-defense items for her as possible."

He had already seen it, and at the same time, he was confident that the child Zoe would be found within two months.

In fact, Earl of Mullen had already prepared.

He arranged the tracking spell in the storage necklace.

Every time Zoe opens the storage necklace, he can get her approximate location through the sensor ball.

The premise is that the distance is within 10,000 kilometers.

This distance scale is still very safe.

Without the teleportation circle, Zooey didn't go far.

And the teleportation array is not a Chinese cabbage, let alone a distance of 10,000 kilometers.

…

On the other side, Zoe Babbitt, whom the Earl and Countess of Mullen remembered, came to the dock area.

Just as those black street eyes expected.

This time she only left the castle after disguising herself.

A grey linen robe was draped over it, but inside was a flat light armor.

She smeared a few ash on her face, and used the [Transfiguration Potion] to transform herself into a young man. UU Reading

At the same time, the peaks and peaks that were in the way have also disappeared.

In his arms was a tattered purse with less than a hundred dinars in bits and pieces.

This is the fare she prepared.

This time she was still going north by boat.

Going east and west or south is too much trouble.

It can only ride on horses, and from time to time it will encounter attacks by bandits and monsters.

The river is still reliable, and the speed of the magic paddle steamer is not slow.

She has already found a boat, and will set off after loading up the fruit and grain she bought from Wentro this evening!
