Global Lords: I Have Information System-Chapter 490 - 358: Shafuri’s Reflections, Oka Village

Chapter 490: Chapter 358: Shafuri’s Reflections, Oka Village

(13 kilometers ahead, Oka Village by the Rurulu River)

Zong Shen glanced at the golden subtitles, understanding the situation.

kilometers isn’t far; with Pigsy’s speed, they can reach there in eight or nine more minutes.

"Pigsy, hang in there a bit longer."

"Once we get to the village ahead, I’ll buy you a big apple!"

Zong Shen patted Pigsy’s head, encouragingly.

"Huff..."

"Hohoho..."

Pigsy puffed heavily and grunted a few times, not sure whether agreeing or venting his discontent.

But at least it didn’t go on strike, which was enough.

It’s a dignified Blood-toothed Wild Boar, meant to rule the forest, now being used by Zong Shen as a long-distance vehicle!

There’s no choice; among Zong Shen’s rideable mounts, Pigsy is the only one available.

Although the Goblin Airship is also a long-distance transport tool, its speed isn’t fast - 80 km/h is about the same as Pigsy.

The crucial point is, it consumes Magic Energy too.

It requires 5 points of Magic Energy per second; a 10-hour journey would consume 180,000 Magic Energy points!

Even with a 30% reduction in energy consumption due to skill effects, it still requires 126,000 Magic Energy points.

Equivalent to 1,260 units of Basic-level Magic Energy Crystals; without cargo, merely carrying people is too extravagant.

This expenditure, if used to buy apples for Pigsy, could purchase hundreds of crates.

Moreover, the time spent traveling by both is actually about the same.

Pigsy, considering rest periods, might take twelve to thirteen hours to arrive.

So far, based on strategy notes’ indication, they are still 497 kilometers away from Boss Bang.

The distance from Sitanos Village to Boss Bang is approximately 687 kilometers.

Sitanos Village to Zong Shen’s territory is over forty kilometers away, which totals over seven hundred kilometers.

This distance is quite beyond Zong Shen’s concept.

After all, on Earth, a distance of over seven hundred kilometers could traverse most provinces except for the border province.

But in this world, it’s merely the distance from a village to a bang city.

And the transportation conditions are totally different, riding a big wild boar like a mini truck on a solid dirt road is something he never imagined.

The 13-kilometer distance, Pigsy ran in just seven or eight minutes.

To rest soon, Pigsy unleashed its Little Universe.

An extraordinary performance, reaching Oka Village a minute earlier than expected.

This is a medium-scale village, larger than Odu Village.

Beside the village is a wide river, two or three hundred meters in width.

This big river flows from north to south, and the current is very swift.

Located just a hundred or two meters from the river is a wooden bridge made of large logs.

This bridge is flat, and every ten meters or so, there’s a pier standing in the river channel.

The piers’ main body is still logs, surrounded by a crude metal cage, filled with stones of various sizes.

Both sides have gentle slopes to allow horse carts and ox carts to pass.

This should be a bridge built by the village itself.

Zong Shen rode Pigsy to the empty ground outside the village and stopped there.

Their arrival instantly drew everyone’s attention around.

Like Sitanos Village, Oka Village also has several lords selling items such as furs, bones, dried meat, whiteboard weapons - things lords can trade, to exchange for Dinars to procure daily supplies.

Outside of Oka Village, a pasture raises grassland cows, although it’s smaller in scale than Sitanos Village.

However, further downstream by the Rurulu River, there’s a large horse pasture.

At a glance, there are at least a hundred Avalon Prairie Horses in the pasture.

"This village seems nice; they even raise horses."

Zong Shen scanned the situation of Oka Village, then jumped down from Pigsy. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Wenresa had already leapt to the ground when Pigsy stopped.

She was stretching her muscles; both she and Luna wore hoods to hide their trademark pointed ears.

Also, they covered their faces with black veils, hiding most of their features, showing only their eyes.

No choice, the Elf Race is too rare in the Human Kingdom now.

In small villages like these, let alone in giant cities, elves are scarcely seen.

Although Zong Shen doesn’t fear trouble, to avoid it, he let Wenresa and Luna conceal themselves simply.

After all, Zong Shen had promised them previously.

Once the Burrow Challenge ends, he’ll take them to Bang City.

After Zong Shen and Wenresa dismounted the boar, Pigsy panted heavily, lying down.

The Immortal Gun Cavalry also dismounted from their warhorses, stretching their bodies.

As for Zong Shen, he headed towards the village, with Wenresa and Luna by his side.

Here, they had left their original area.

Those lords did not know Zong Shen and could only observe him from afar.

Lords require proximity to investigate each other.

Now, the lords have become smarter; even if most guess he’s a lord.

No one dares to approach and check or engage him.

Oka Village is smaller than Sitanos Village; the village entrance has no militias guarding it.

Zong Shen and his companions walked into the village, and ten minutes later, a villager carrying two crates of apples, one crate of eggs, and three bundles of fodder emerged.

These items were placed in front of Pigsy and the warhorses.

At full speed, their Hunger Level consumption was faster than usual.

Eating well is necessary for them to continue their journey.

While the mounts were eating, Zong Shen explored the horse pasture.

He inquired about the price of the grassland horses.

Here, the grassland horse is categorized into several tiers.

The most ordinary adult grassland horse costs 500 Mainland Continent Universal Dinars per horse.

Dinars more expensive than a grassland cow.

The sturdier grassland horse costs 650 Mainland Continent Universal Dinars.

A mixed-blood Dragon Scale Grassland Horse costs 1000 Mainland Continent Universal Dinars.

This Dragon Scale Grassland Horse, a hybrid of Dragon Scale Horse and grassland horse, is taller than average grassland horses.

Sparse scales are on either side of its neck.

Overall endurance, speed, and load capacity exceed ordinary grassland horses.

After roughly understanding, Zong Shen calculated that it’s just over two hundred kilometers from his territory, and he can come to Oka Village to buy horses if needed.

Besides horses, due to being next to Rurulu River, the village sells many fish products.

Various dried fish, many large freshwater fish.

Large ones are dozens of centimeters long, while small ones are as long as an arm.

All are simply preserved, hung on bamboo poles.

Zong Shen saw something strange among them...

Some creatures resembling fishmen, having webbed limbs and tails, with heads like amphibians, about a meter long.

Also, gutted, preserved, and hung like other dried fish.

This intrigued Zong Shen, as undoubtedly, these humanoid amphibians are part of the villagers’ sumptuous lunch.

Zong Shen observed Oka Village while waiting for Pigsy and others to finish resting.

He didn’t want to linger in the village too long since time is precious.

It’s already past 11 AM, and less than half an hour until noon.

After this noon, only 24 hours remain until the new challenge rules are published, and only 48 hours till the challenge begins.

So he must hurry back to his territory before the challenge officially starts.

While idle, Zong Shen and his companions were suddenly serenaded by music and rhythmic hoofbeats from nearby.

Zong Shen turned his head, seeing a young man wearing a red cropped top, yellow hood, and riding pants, riding a white grassland horse approaching them.

The young man wore a faint smile, holding a violin-like string instrument in his left hand.

In his right hand, he held a bow and was playing seriously.
