Global Lords: I Have Information System-Chapter 501 - 364: Evans’ First Encounter, No Good Guy at All

Zong Shen handed over the small wooden box containing the Soul Calming Grass.

"I encountered a traveling merchant named Pikol on my way to Boss Bang."

"They were trapped in the desert zone where the Shark Lizard roamed."

"So they entrusted me to help deliver this item back."

His tone was very calm, and his battle armor was covered in a lot of dust.

Indeed, he looked quite travel-worn.

Due to Zong Shen's face being hidden by a silver battle helmet, the private mercenaries under Evans couldn't glean any useful information from Zong Shen's expression.

After Zong Shen finished speaking, Luna, who was beside him, deliberately led the Black Panther a few steps towards the corner of the estate, intentionally lowering her presence.

Using the cover of shadows, she summoned an owl.

She gently tossed the owl onto the fence where it stood silently.

Her actions were very discreet, and none of the private mercenaries noticed.

"Pikol..."

"This box..."

The lead mercenary carefully examined the small wooden box.

"This is Soul Calming Grass!"

"Hurry and inform Master Evans!"

"The Soul Calming Grass has been delivered back."

He quickly reached out to take the small wooden box and handed it to the one behind him.

The gate was opened again, but this time it wasn't closed.

And the mercenary holding the small wooden box swiftly ran into the estate.

Standing at the foot of the mansion steps, he handed the small wooden box to a person dressed as a servant.

Shortly after, a person dressed as a butler came out, and after the two exchanged a few words.

The butler walked into the mansion, seemingly to ask for instructions.

Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a loose beige robe came out.

Followed by the butler and several servants.

At the same time, a notification indicating the completion of a task appeared in front of Zong Shen.

[Task: Help transport the Soul Calming Grass]

[Requirement: Deliver this batch of Soul Calming Grass to Evans' estate within 5 hours and 49 minutes]

[Completed]

[Reward: Reputation +500, Affinity with the emerging noble Evans +20]

After the task completion notification, there was a prompt for a change in affinity.

[Affinity with the emerging noble Evans increased by 20 points, current affinity at 20 points (acquaintance)]

This is probably what they call a first impression based affinity.

Aside from that, Zong Shen's reputation value increased by 500 points, making a total of 14900 reputation points.

From the current situation, these reputation points don't have any impact on the indigenous people.

It seems that there is a requirement for reputation points when upgrading the[Legion].

After silently dismissing the system notification in front of him, Zong Shen was finally able to examine the middle-aged man in the robe.

He had naturally curly hair, gray with a hint of brown.

This should be the so-called Master Evans.

Belonging to the so-called emerging noble force.

It was his father's generation that took over the estate originally belonging to Master Mars.

Zong Shen sat on Pigsy, observing him through the seams of his battle helmet.

From all indications, he seemed to value the Soul Calming Grass greatly.

Evans walked with agile steps, his posture upright and robust, each step causing the loose robe to cling to his body, fully revealing the contours of his muscles.

He wore a consistent gentle smile, a neatly trimmed and striking mustache lined his lips.

If Zong Shen remembered correctly, Evans and Master Mars were contemporaries.

Yet the difference in aura and demeanor between them was quite pronounced.

Master Mars' physique was like that of a middle-aged man who had put on weight.

By contrast, Evans clearly managed his physique very well.

While Zong Shen was observing Evans, Evans, in turn, was evaluating him.

Even with a distance of a hundred to two hundred meters between them, he could discern that Zong Shen's armor equipment was of high tier.

The woman riding the Black Panther was obviously from the Dark Night Elf race.

The lancer cavalry behind were from the renowned Immortal Knight Order.

With his sharp insight and extensive experience, just a few glances allowed him to draw a conclusion in his heart.

The opposing party was significant in origin and formidable in strength!

At least, his sixty private mercenaries in the estate were definitely not a match for them!

Having reached a conclusion, the smile on Evans' face deepened.

He walked briskly to Pigsy, slightly raised his head to nod at Zong Shen.

Zong Shen also nodded slightly but showed no intention of dismounting.

Evans was not offended; Zong Shen's haughty demeanor only reinforced his correct conjecture.

"Thank you, sir, for helping Pikol to deliver this Soul Calming Grass back."

"Without these Soul Calming Grass to make Sleep Potion Soup, I wouldn't be able to sleep."

"Unfortunately, this Soul Calming Grass is not common."

"They're called the deceased's smile, only blooming before a new grave."

"And not every grave will have them."

Evans said to himself, beginning to explain the purpose and origin of Soul Calming Grass.

"I'm honored to be of assistance to you."

"To me, it was but a trivial matter."

Zong Shen said lightly, his tone very calm.

Hearing Zong Shen's words, Evans was secretly shocked.

Although he didn't know what exact trouble Pikol encountered that delayed them from passing through the desert zone before nightfall.

He knew, however, that being able to forcefully travel through the desert zone at night was absolutely no mean feat.
