Chapter 384 Asking for help from Rand, and dragon blood cattle and horses (5000!!!)
A few more days passed.
He was burned at the stake several more times.
Finally, Walker successfully met the "traitor" who had not yet been executed.
The process was more difficult than expected, and it took a lot of time to engage with opponents in the city and build trust.
They are against the idea of the New Holy City, but for various reasons have not yet taken action, nor have they been betrayed by their companions who have been captured and are about to be executed or have already been executed.
They lurk in the shadows.
If it weren't for Walker's sword of friendship from his friend, it might have taken much longer to make contact.
Walker himself was once someone who could be trusted by those who tried to oppose the concept of the New Holy City.
"You have ten minutes," the guard said to Walker.
Walker came to the cell.
"You guys are out of luck," Walker said.
Several traitor paladins in the cell had messy hair, and some had festering wounds on their bodies.
But his eyes were bright.
"Long time no see." The paladin in one of the cells also knew Walker, but he did not say Walker's name.
Walker didn't say much, and threw a file to the paladin in the cell, "Someone will pick you up tonight."
There are extraordinary powers in this world, but due to the constraints of shackles, these paladins are not yet able to destroy the prison walls or bars with their bare hands, so they are locked in ordinary cells.
"Come on." The Paladin laughed. "Now the Grand Knight feels that all the traitors have been caught and all the potential traitors have been intimidated. If we escape... And, can we really escape?"
Walker remained silent.
The risk is indeed considerable, as opponents who have not yet been discovered may also be discovered.
But can you watch someone who could be saved and become your companion being executed?
The paladins in prison didn't care about Walker's silence.
The Paladin in the prison waved and Walker approached.
Then Walker had a piece of paper in his hand, stained with brown-gray mud and dark red blood.
"There is no chance to implement our follow-up plan. You can refer to it." The Paladin in prison said that he had nothing to say and signaled Walker to leave now.
Walker turned and left.
Seeing that Walker did not take back the file, the Paladin chuckled and hid the file in a hidden place in the prison straw mat.
I'll give this thing to the next lucky guy to use. I hope the person who finds this file is not a bad person.
…
The content of the note was an escape route and the storage location of their stored supplies.
The "traitors" who have now been captured have very carefully planned their escape.
Unfortunately, my luck is so bad.
After returning to the hotel, just when Walker wanted to report the situation to the members of the "Scorching Sun Project".
The ratman Quirrell has arrived.
The members of "Project Pride" know Qui Ruo.
The ratman Quirrell is a smart and strong ratman. When they were disguised as merchants, they hired Quirrell to help.
They were all deeply impressed by Quirrell's alertness and diligence.
If they didn't need to interact with other civilians, they might have continued to employ Quirrell.
But at this time, I don't invite you...
All members of the "Scorching Sun Project" became alert.
Several paladins put their hands on their weapons.
The ratman Quirrell also had shortness of breath.
When this time comes, he will certainly take risks.
But he recognized the sword, and Walker's appearance was similar to what the paladin who had sacrificed himself and was willing to help them had described.
Then it's worth the risk.
He didn't come here to ask for help. Walker's friend had already sacrificed his life to help them, and he didn't have the face to ask Walker for help again.
He came here to remind you.
Today he went to repair the city wall. After finishing the work, on the way back, he subconsciously wanted to go to the stake to take a look.
Then I heard some rumors that the top leaders of the New Holy City seemed to be trying to detect other traitors.
If Walker were to take any action now, he would most likely be caught.
Therefore, Quirrell ventured here to give a reminder.
The rat man Quirrell said, "I know that sword."
The ratman Quirrell pointed at the sword at Walker's waist.
The members of the "Scorching Sun Project" looked at each other and let Qui Ruo enter the house.
Quiruo quickly stated his purpose.
The members of "Project Pride" discovered that Lord Fenris, Lord Tanr, and Lord Rand were truly wise.
If the locals had not come together to help with the operation, they would never have been able to come into contact with the various forces in the New Holy City in such a short period of time.
Kui Ruo just came here to remind and didn't stay here for too long.
Soon Quirrell left.
The members of the "Jiaoyang Project" also gave Quiruo some high-nutrition food.
Quiruo is quite strong, but he looks very malnourished.
Since they were their own people, the members of the “Jiaoyang Project” were not stingy.
So far, their plans have moved forward very quickly.
The Prideful Sun Project is not a subversive plan. Among the Torch Church's nascent paladins and the Mother Goddess sect believers who came here, the strongest ones are the upper-level professionals.
However, in the New Holy City, there are many top-level professionals.
The exact number is unknown, but it is definitely in the double digits.
Moreover, there are a large number of Paladins garrisoned in the New Holy City.
Their beliefs were misguided and wrong to the newborn Torch Church members.
But this does not mean that their military power has become weaker.
Subversion is impossible.
But it is easy to cause serious damage to the New Holy City.
That means poaching.
Although the top leaders of the New Holy City look down on the lower-class civilians, the basic operation of this city requires the use of civilians in many places.
They only need to plan another escape when the time is right and allow the civilians to escape.
It would not be easy for the New Holy City to capture so many civilians to work.
At that time, many things in the New Holy City would be paralyzed.
Are we going to ask the paladins and clergy to go to the fields to plant crops, repair the city walls, and carry manure themselves?
And it just so happened that Lord Rand needed people.
This is the south, and Lord Rand is in the north.
It was not realistic to lead so many people to Crescent Territory at one time, but the traitors in the New Holy City had prepared a lot of supplies. If we made some adjustments, we would really have a chance.
However, if they want to carry out such a plan, they alone are not enough.
At the beginning, the "Jiaoyang Plan" was just an attempt to carry out small-scale revenge.
The New Holy City destroyed some of the Novice Sect's bases and churches. The Novice Sect must retaliate, which makes the New Holy City realize that they are not to be trifled with.
After all, this old holy city has completely retreated.
The two sides are in a competitive relationship.
There is also huge hatred.
Whichever side is stronger can occupy more market share.
Now it seems that more can be done.
Things are not developing as we thought at the beginning.
However, those who were sent to carry out the infiltration plan were all people favored by Lord Taner, Lord Fenris, and Lord Rand, and they were very spiritual and proactive.
"I think we can ask Lord Rand and Bishop Kahn for support." The followers of the Mother Goddess sect suggested.
The Paladin of the Novice Faction asked with some doubt: "Will Lord Rand and Bishop Kahn agree? After all, the initial plan is only a small-scale operation."
The believers of the Mother Goddess Sect looked like they had pearls of wisdom in their hands.
"Counting just this city, the floating population and permanent population of the New Holy City is estimated to be 60,000 to 70,000 people," estimated a member of the Mother Goddess sect.
"And the number of civilians living in the sewers is roughly estimated to be about 10,000." The Mother Goddess Cult member continued, "We are in great need of manpower. Lord Rand will definitely be interested."
After the last war, Rand collected a group of conscripts from the domestic nobles, totaling about two thousand people.
The total population of the Earldom of Rand Moon Phase is now around 22,000, and a considerable number of them are newborns.
At present, there is still a slight shift in the ratio of men to women. At the beginning, when they were looting the population, there were more women.
The slaves purchased later and the conscripted soldiers recruited were basically men.
Currently, the male-to-female ratio in the Earldom of the Moon is about 5.5:4.5, with a larger male population.
Rand needs to find a balance in the near future.
But now, the total population of Rand is only 22,000.
The Moon Phase Earldom can accommodate at least 60,000 people. Taking into account the agricultural technology upgrade of Rand and the gradually developed farmland on the border of the Burning Land, it can accommodate more.
There are probably several thousand people in the Burning Land, and they will join Rand in the future, but Rand is still always short of people.
All the forces in the den are eager for population.
Rand is eager for population, schools need more teachers, ruins need more adventurers to develop, and farmlands need people to cultivate them.
The Torch Church's fledgling faction, which is now beginning to revive, is also short of people.
Rand and Karin would definitely be envious of the population of the New Holy City.
The elder paladin of the Newborn Faction pondered for a while and whispered, "It is almost impossible to get so many people to go north. The New Holy City will definitely send people to hunt them down. If we flee, it would be ideal if we can finally have three or four thousand people reach the border of the Northern Alliance."
"Besides," the older paladin thought carefully, "not everyone is willing to follow us to the north, or even take the risk of trying to escape from the New Holy City."
"However," said the older Paladin of the Novice Faction, "I do believe that even if the number of people we obtain in the end is not too large, Lord Rand and Bishop Kahn will be willing to support us. We can send a message for help now."
There are many things to consider.
The storm of arresting rebels in the New Holy City has not yet passed.
It is not suitable to take immediate action in a short period of time.
The next time the members of the "Scorching Sun Project" take action, it will be more difficult to succeed because of the failure of Walker's friend.
…
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Crescent collar.
It is still summer.
There were cotton candy-like clouds floating in the sky.
It’s a pity that there are no marshmallows in this world.
Rand, in civilian clothes, waited for Olenna to read him a recent report.
Now, due to the stability of life, the accumulation of wealth, and Rand's fertility incentive policy.
The number of newborns in the den is gradually increasing.
This will be accompanied by many problems, such as the prevention of newborn diseases and the education that will definitely be needed in the future.
It is impossible for Rand to popularize education like the modern times in his previous life. It is simply unrealistic.
But Rand can improve the quality of his subjects relatively.
For example, they know better how to farm, how to hunt, or how to stand in a military formation.
Rand has a super unique unit type that no other noble lords have.
That's the missionary.
If it were placed in Rand's previous life's game.
Then it is [Missionary: +3 Education, +5 Cohesion].
The teachings of Rand's Mother Goddess sect are completely different from traditional religious teachings.
Rand's teachings are very scientific.
Although believers may not understand the doctrine from a scientific perspective.
But the teachings are scientific in nature.
To learn and understand the teachings 123 is to be considered an outstanding talent in this era.
You can do some medical assistance or wild hunting work.
If I had received some basic training from retired soldiers when I was young, I could have joined the army and become an excellent soldier.
The excellent qualities of one or two soldiers may not be noticeable.
However, when the overall quality of a large number of soldiers is improved, the combat effectiveness of the army will be visibly improved.
After all, marching and fighting is not just about the moments when you face each other and engage in blood.
There is also endless camping, breaking camp, reconnaissance, firewood collection, and other tasks that, if done well, can enhance the combat effectiveness of the army.
Rand plans to increase the training of missionaries and allow missionaries to serve part-time as local education officers.
"Give orders to Thess and ask him to try to discuss with Vanilla and strengthen the missionaries' education." Rand said to Olenna.
"Vanilla may be under too much pressure at work," Olena reminded after hearing this.
"Ah?" Rand didn't think much about this aspect.
Olena explained Vanilla's current job as the director of the church school's teaching department.
And Vanilla sometimes has to go to the administrative center to help.
I can only say that he is the ultimate worker.
Rand was suddenly embarrassed. It seemed that Vanilla was under a lot of work pressure.
But it seems that there is no trustworthy person to help.
"Let the lady from the Thorn family help her?" Rand asked.
"You can try." Olenna said. She was not sure whether the aunt of the Duke of Thorn was willing to help.
Now he is a major shareholder of Crescent Moon Harbor, and he comes out to teach just to increase his political influence.
It is equivalent to the ambassador sent here by the Duke of Thorns. He probably won't be willing to do too hard work.
Now the Alchemist Society has been established in the vacant land next to the church school.
The church school now has three major buildings.
The main building has a large clock tower and is the main study place for students.
And now we are going to add two more directly.
An alchemist society to prepare for the future training of alchemists.
The other is a professional school of the Torch Church.
To cultivate professionals of the Torch Church, such as paladins, priests, nuns, etc.
Church schools are becoming more and more prosperous now.
Maybe in a few years or even a dozen years, it will really become a college of higher learning with many branches.
"That's it," Rand said.
After Rand gave his instructions, Olenna would write them down.
If it is urgent, it will be passed on and released on the spot. If it is not urgent, it will be sorted out and released in the evening.
Olenna would often give Rand some advice. As a person who had also received a high level of education, she was good at more than just taking care of people.
Rand's instructions were not urgent, so after Orina finished writing the document, she put it in a suitcase.
Olenna placed the suitcase away from Rand.
Because Rand is conducting bloody experiments.
Following the advice of the righteous Saint Karin, Rand tried to infuse the creature with dragon blood.
While Aisha was working hard to promote the development of the Alchemist Society, she did not neglect the research on dragon blood.
There is nothing much that can be learned about Dragon Blood Stone at the moment.
However, extracting the blood of sub-dragon species is not particularly difficult.
However, even after multiple extractions, the purity of the dragon blood obtained is not high and the quantity is very small.
I guess we’ll have to wait and see whether dragon blood stone can be used to extract dragon blood of higher purity.
However, at this time, we can do experiments and accumulate some experience. Now low-purity dragon blood may not be a bad choice.
Rand picked up a pen and paper, ready to start his old business from his previous life.
[Experimental title: Cultivation of dragon blood flying creatures
1. Experimental purpose: To cultivate dragon blood flying creatures with refined dragon blood. 2. Experimental principle: Dragon blood can alienate the bloodline of creatures to a certain extent.
3. Experimental materials and equipment: various animals without human rights, essence of dragon blood from sub-dragon species, test tubes, heaters...
4. Experimental steps: Inject the essence of dragon blood into the animal's body, observe the ecological changes of the animal, and use the blessing of the Mother Goddess to strengthen the vitality of the animal when appropriate.
5. Experimental data: |Serial number |Parameter 1 |Parameter 2 |Results |……
…
6. Data processing and analysis: ……
VII. Experimental results and discussion:
In previous experiments, it seemed that most creatures could not withstand dragon blood.
Hypothesized reasons for failure: 1. The selected organisms are not adaptable enough.
2. The experimental method is wrong.
3. The dragon blood is not pure enough.
8. Experimental Conclusion
Further experiments are needed, and the next step is to try using Warcraft, as well as cattle and horses. 】
The current experimental plan is based on the principle of the birth of dragon blood warriors recorded in the scriptures of the Torch Church's nascent sect.
But most of the Dragon Blood Warriors' experimental subjects are elite human professionals.
The experimental organisms that Rand is currently using are all ordinary animals.
It now seems that ordinary animals cannot adapt to dragon blood.
Let's put it aside for now to avoid causing more waste.
The next step is to study Warcraft first.
Rand asked Olenna, who was holding a suitcase beside him, "My next step is to try to inject dragon blood into the monster. Do you have any suggestions?"
Rand always turned to Olenna for advice.
Olenna appeared beside Rand soon after he arrived here.
Rand had long been accustomed to Olenna's company.
Olenna pushed up her glasses.
The glasses were Rand's hobby.
"I personally suggest that you try the magic salamander. This creature has strong adaptability. If the magic salamander doesn't work, then just try your creation, the cow and horse."
Rand thought Olenna's suggestion made sense.
