Including Baron Bezos himself, there were several tis when he almost couldn't make it back.
This is also why he has never been able to advance to Viscount.
But Baron Bezos was still enthusiastic about exploration back then.
His ntality was like that of those Lords, showing great interest in the relics left behind from over ten thousand years ago.
This led to most of his personal belongings being lost during dangerous encounters.
A few years ago, a group of rcenaries brought back the lost family crest of Baron Bezos, earning themselves a reward.
The Dragon Descendant Swordsman took the pendant and pocket watch and examined them repeatedly.
After confirming that there was nothing untoward about the items.
Only then did he look up at Zong Shen and give a slight bow.
"Please wait here for a mont."
"I will go report to the Sheriff now."
After finishing, he turned and left, quickly intercepting a light cavalryman.
Handing over the pendant and pocket watch to him, offering a few words of instruction.
Then the light cavalryman, holding the pendant and pocket watch, rode towards the entrance of the Central District.
It took more than twenty minutes, almost until midnight, before the light cavalryman reappeared.
Behind him was a soft-upholstered double-harness carriage.
This carriage followed the light cavalryman out of the Central District.
When this carriage appeared, all the patrolling Bang City Army soldiers nearby imdiately halted.
Standing upright, they saluted the carriage.
Including those Bang City Army soldiers beside Zong Shen, they did the sa.
The atmosphere instantly beca much more solemn.
Only Zong Shen and his warriors remained indifferent.
He would show the necessary respect to the Indigenous People only when necessary.
But he would never bow and scrape voluntarily to them.
Under the guidance of the light cavalryman, the grand double-harness carriage quickly ca to a halt in front of Zong Shen.
The driver expertly parked the carriage, nimbly leaping down from his seat.
Approaching the right side of the carriage, he unfolded a set of folding steps.
Then he stepped forward to open the carriage door, waiting respectfully by the side.
A man in a night robe stepped out of the carriage, stepping onto the folding steps, and with the coachman's assistance, stood on the ground.
This man wore glasses, and his short hair was completely white.
He was well-maintained, with a reasonably firm and full face, and smooth skin.
His facial hair was cleanly shaven, and his eyes were bright.
Making him look very spirited.
Only the deep crow's feet at the corners of his eyes betrayed his age.
If he stood together with Evans, one could easily see the age difference between the two.
The identity of the newcor was clear. This was the Governor of Boss Bang.
The unfortunate lover of adventure, Baron Bezos!
He was clutching the pocket watch and that pendant in his hand.
As soon as he dismounted the carriage, he broke free from the coachman's support.
With an excited expression, he quickly walked towards Zong Shen.
When he reached Pigsy, he raised the pocket watch and pendant in his hand, repeatedly asking.
"Where did you find this pocket watch and pendant, sir?"
Zong Shen saw that Baron Bezos had personally co forward.
Only then did he dismount from Pigsy and remove his battle helt.
Holding his battle helt, he bowed to Baron Bezos.
"Hello, Lord Bezos."
"I found this pocket watch in a ruin not far from the Burial Ground."
"As for this pendant, it was in an abandoned mine."
"That mine was occupied by those damn Spider Web Monsters."
Zong Shen spoke truthfully, as there was no need to hide it.
When it cos to the areas under Boss Bang's jurisdiction, Baron Bezos was far more familiar than he was.
Upon hearing Zong Shen's explanation, Baron Bezos' eyes lit up with an inexplicable gleam.
He extended his right hand and firmly shook Zong Shen's hand.
"Yes, that's right, it was there…"
"The Elven city of Azshara's ruins!"
"Are you an explorer as well?"
"Did you find anything else in that abandoned mine?"
Zong Shen shook his hand, Baron Bezos was clearly too excited.
"I guess you could call an explorer."
"However, recently I established a settlent in that area."
"At the ti, I didn't find anything else in the mine."
"Those Spider Web Monsters had everything in a ss."
"I found this pendant in a corner."
He said with an air of importance.
In fact, he had also found Baron Bezos' wallet in the mine at that ti.
Including the noble title card he used to deceive Kunyel was found in the wallet.
Since that identity card had already worn out its usefulness, Zong Shen decided to omit it altogether.
There were no other flaws, the equipnt could be swapped, Pigsy could be hidden.
His true face having been shown to Kunyel and Shafuri had its complications.
As long as these two rivals didn't co together, who would know Zong Shen was the mastermind?
Baron Bezos listened to Zong Shen's description of the mine situation, nodding frequently.
Back then, he had almost died in the mines.
Those damned Spider Web Monsters sward through the mine like tides.
The most terrifying was the Spider Web Monster Lord among them.
Baron Bezos had taken two teams of the Bang City Army with him back then.
They were ambushed by the Spider Web Monster Swarm after entering the mine.
Two squads of the Bang City Army were no match for the Spider Web Monster Swarm.
Baron Bezos had to rely on a magic item called the "Wind Spirit Feather" to escape swiftly.
His backpack was left behind in the mine.
At the ti, he didn't have control over Boss Bang and couldn't mobilize a large number of Bang City Army soldiers.
He had to give up temporarily because of it.
When he did gain control of Bang City, he considered leading the Bang City Army to eradicate those Spider Web Monsters.
But he faced opposition from many Bang City Army officers.
Besides the Spider Web Monsters, everyone knew the area once held by Azshara.
Not only did it leave nurous ruins, but it also harbored many undead and monsters.
Especially in the mines, apart from Spider Web Monsters, burrow creatures were said to include undead from the Blood-Burning Demon and the resistance army wandering the depths.
The war back then was too brutal, involving many races and forces.
Considering this, anyone with common sense knew that those mineshafts weren't sothing the Bang City Army could handle.
Especially considering the seven or eight hundred kiloters of travel to assault the mine, it was undeniably an absurd endeavor.
If there was any leisure, they might as well deal with the Shark Lizard beasts in the Desert Zone.
At least, they could gain so reputation in the Giant City.
anwhile, they could solve a potential threat for the villagers near the Desert Zone.
Attacking the mine carried enormous risks and no clear rewards.
After years of recovery and developnt, the wealth and resource reserves of the kingdom have beco very abundant.
There was no need to exploit the so-called mines and ruins.
The mine expedition was always a regret in Baron Bezos' heart.
This regret wouldn't fade over ti but rather grew stronger.
Moreover, the pendant held special significance, as it was a nto left by his mother.
In contrast, the pocket watch ant less to him.
The pocket watch was rely a beloved personal item.
Yet today, Zong Shen had returned both items to him.
It was an enormous favor to Baron Bezos.
In so ways, Zong Shen had filled a void in his heart that had lingered for decades.
Baron Bezos gently thumbed open the magic pendant.
The projection of a dignified woman slowly erged.
"Mother…"
Watching the projection, Bezos was imdiately in tears.
At the sa ti, an affinity prompt appeared before Zong Shen.
