Chapter 420 Rand's revenge, and plans to visit incognito (5000!!!)

Inland of the Kingdom of Bolen.

Slave caravan.

The surging magic power is controlled by the elven elder.

The ground is full of potholes.

The Death Knights, Skeletons, and Zombies have been scattered into pieces.

The Elf Elder is a standard top-level professional, and his terrifying offensiveness as the top level of magic is fully exposed at this moment.

This was nothing like when he and Bishop Kahn were racing each other.

After dealing with all the undead.

The elf elder's pointed ears were exposed from his moonlight-colored robe. He said to the human slave traders, "I want to go back to the Elf Forest. I'll trouble you to escort me."

The human slavers trembled in fear.

Several tried to flee, but fell to the arrows fired by the elven rangers.

…

It was another morning, and Rand was in a good mood.

After repeated verification and questioning.

Rand locked onto the assassin's family.

A family of earls.

The mistletoe family.

The territory is not very far from Rand.

If you take the King's Road with your army, you can arrive there in a week.

However, Rand did not choose to attack with a large army. This period is still relatively sensitive. Marcus has been working day and night to stabilize the country. Now that he is going to war with another earl, Marcus will have to work overtime.

Marcus was already full of resentment due to the heavy workload. If he made too much noise, it would be difficult for him to quit.

Therefore, Rand only brought a team of about fifty guards to the family's territory.

As we travelled light and had a small group, it took less than five days.

Rand handed over the visiting card.

…

Lord Mistletoe berates a baron before Rand arrives.

The baron was one of his vassals.

The baron used old grain of inferior quality when paying taxes, and he also shortchanged himself on linen and cotton.

It wasn't that the baron couldn't really afford to pay the taxes, but that he spent all his money on buying female slaves.

Earl Mistletoe had been upset ever since the assassination attempt failed, and he was relieved when Rand didn't come up with any results.

But I still feel a little worried.

As a result, he has been in a bad mood recently.

Just as he was scolding his vassal, the butler handed him a visiting card.

There are wheat ears and swords and shields printed on it, obviously, it is the Nicholas family.

Lord Mistletoe's expression suddenly darkened.

Grand Duke Rand of the Moon Phase has always been a homebody. He seldom participates in banquets or dances among nobles.

They rarely go out hunting or participate in competitions.

Every time Grand Duke Moon Phase goes out, it's either a war or some major event.

And now, Rand was out and at his doorstep.

Obviously, it won't be a good thing.

He can't be here to propose marriage, right? Earl Mistletoe's face became even gloomier.

…

After handing over the visiting card, Rand waited under the family castle of Earl Mistletoe.

Rand was in no hurry.

Soon, the head of the family appeared in front of Rand.

He did not go out of the city to greet him, but stood on the top of the castle.

Rand used his hand to block out the not-so-bright spring sun.

He smiled and said, "Lord Mistletoe, you know what I am here for, don't you?"

The Mistletoe family was the Three Princes faction during the Civil War, and this family was also the Three Princes faction during the last Civil War.

During the last civil war in the Frost Moon Kingdom, this family lost some of its interests.

Perhaps Rand's rise was too jarring for this family.

Or they think that Rand has taken away the benefits that belong to them.

Rand did not know the specific circumstances.

All Rand knew was that Count Mistletoe had sent assassins to kill him.

“If you are willing to let this matter go, the Mistletoe family will prepare generous gifts to compensate for our previous intrusion.” Earl Mistletoe said in a low voice.

"Do you think it's possible?" Rand smiled.

Rand was very arrogant.

If it were six years ago, Rand wouldn't even be qualified to look at an earl.

He wasn't even a baron at that time.

Even if he was just an earl, it would be difficult for him to threaten another earl in the Frost Moon Kingdom at will.

But now it’s different, he is the Grand Duke, although only the Grand Duke in name only.

And he is also the Hand of the King.

Outstanding achievements.

"So what do you want to do? Go to the noble court?" Earl Mistletoe continued.

He looked down from the top of the castle and saw more than fifty heavily armored cavalrymen below.

The metal surface of the armor reflected a dazzling flash.

Fifty heavy cavalrymen were already a lot, enough to cause unrest in his earldom.

Rand narrowed his eyes.

It was good that this mistletoe lord didn't play dumb, but going through the noble courts was a waste of time.

From collecting evidence, to gathering witnesses and notaries, and then opening the court.

It takes a long time, and even if Rand wins the case, he will basically only get financial compensation.

The Court of Nobles did not have the power to execute great nobles.

The previous matter of Count Feihu would probably have been left unresolved if he had not made one stupid move after another.

Rand was too lazy to follow the procedure.

Rand produced a pair of white gloves.

"Let's duel." Rand threw the white gloves on the ground.

The Northern Union was a more popular way for nobles to resolve issues.

It was more popular among lower-level nobles, but high-level nobles rarely participated.

Even if they participate, they basically have duel agents.

When Rand was in a low position, he also encountered duel challenges.

Rand could not stop Lord Mistletoe from using dueling proxies.

But if Lord Mistletoe uses a dueling proxy.

Then he would send out Secretary Olenna to kill as many as came.

Sure enough, Lord Mistletoe accepted the challenge, but wanted to use a proxy.

The agent left the city gate.

Olenna easily pierced his throat.

Rand didn't know exactly how powerful Olenna was, but she was definitely very powerful.

There are people in this world who are more powerful than Olenna in single combat.

But definitely not here, acting as Lord Mistletoe's dueling agent.

As the dueling agents were killed one by one by Olenna.

The beautiful and graceful Olenna was stained with blood.

Lord Mistletoe's expression grew darker.

He knew Rand would never let him go.

In the end, he remained silent and took action himself.

Rand drew his greatsword.

Rand is not very strong, at least not in terms of combat power.

But these are relative to the top leaders of the den.

But for the vast majority of human nobles.

Rand took a step forward, and with such great force he stepped on the yellow earth and created a pit.

The dust is flying.

Rand easily chopped the earl's body into pieces with his greatsword, then walked away with his guards.

Leaving behind a group of Mistletoe family members with grim faces.

…

Rand's number of enemies decreased by one.

After the Mistletoe Family obtained some supplies, Landjiu returned to the Dukedom of the Moon Phase with his personal guards.

"What's the next job?" Rand asked Olenna in a good mood while sitting in the carriage.

This time, only Olenna among the top leaders of the hideout followed, so in the carriage, Rand held Olenna in his arms without hesitation.

Rand blew into Olenna's ear.

Olena's face turned red.

Olenna might be the most restrained among the top brass in the den.

I feel embarrassed no matter what I do.

"Be gentle..." Olena said in a very soft voice.

Olenna then began to answer Rand's question: "Next, we need to train the soldiers on how to use the vibration transmission device and examine the content captured by the photo crystal."

Rand twisted it gently, causing Olenna to moan even more quietly.

Then he said, "Then I want to try to go incognito!"

Olenna looked back at Rand with misty eyes, somewhat puzzled as to what he meant.

"In short, I just wander around the territory without letting anyone know who I am!" Rand explained.

Olenna understood now.

Olenna rolled her eyes. "Lord Rand, you have a lot of other work to do. Please don't be too idle."

Rand twisted it vigorously.

Olenna endured it in silence.

She was actually in a good mood today because Count Mistletoe, who assassinated Rand, had been dealt with.

Rand's enemies were her enemies.

Now that her enemies were resolved, she was of course very happy.

It was just that I miscalculated this time. It was a bit difficult for me to cope with following Rand alone.

Soon Olenna's somewhat blaming look turned into pleading.

…

Kingdom of Bolan.

The elf elder has already taken a detour and left here.

There are many undead here, which is very troublesome for the elf elders.

Moreover, he also captured a lot of "slaves".

The reinforcements from the Kingdom of Lensa have arrived.

Not only the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Lensa arrived, but also those from some of the surrounding southern kingdoms that were relatively close to the Kingdom of Bolun.

The Kingdom of Bolen asked for help from many surrounding countries.

The second prince of the Kingdom of Lunsa commanded the army.

Personally commanding the army made the second prince, who had always been gilded, feel a little uncomfortable.

He didn't know much about many things.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Fortunately, I have been gilded many times, so I still know how to pretend.

If you encounter something you don't know how to do, just pass it on to the people below you.

"The matter of Countess Snow Fox..." the second prince of the Kingdom of Lensa asked the great nobleman beside him.

The noble just shook his head: "The Snow Fox Countess's case is quite serious, and she is still in the royal city reflecting on her mistakes."

The Snow Fox Countess staged a fight in the House of Lords.

The impact of this incident is very bad.

As a result, even the most famous general of Lunsa did not have the opportunity to lead the army in person on this expedition.

However, supporting the Kingdom of Bolen is a somewhat thankless task.

Therefore, after some pushing and shirking by several military nobles, the second prince took command.

As a member of the royal family, the second prince had never made any mistakes when he was gilded before, which allowed him to barely convince the public.

But the second prince still hopes that the Snow Fox Countess will take the lead.

The Snow Fox Countess is a useful tool.

Too bad it's no longer available.

Many nobles in the House of Lords had their bones broken by her.

But this also successfully advanced the development of things.

Many nobles who opposed sending troops returned home to recuperate. The queen herself also wanted to send troops, so she took the opportunity to push for it.

Now they are about to reach the defense line of the Kingdom of Bolen.

The smell of rotting flesh was everywhere.

The knight fell to the ground covered in blood, with shriveled and broken armor, bone spurs, and body parts.

The smell even made some recruits want to vomit.

A team of knights from the Kingdom of Bolen came to meet them.

It is daytime now and the undead's attack is not fierce.

Reinforcements from the Kingdom of Lensa entered the defense line.

The defenses here are badly damaged.

The king of the Kingdom of Bolun personally entertained them.

And at night.

The second prince of the Kingdom of Lunsa discovered something was wrong.

He found the King of Borun and asked, "Where is the army of Borun?"

The king said calmly, "They are all damaged."

The second prince of the Kingdom of Lunsa's face changed drastically.

This means that now, facing the army of the undead, they are the only reinforcements.

The second prince didn't believe that the army of the Kingdom of Bolen had finished the battle, but under the current circumstances, it was too late to withdraw.

The second prince looked at the King of Bolun Kingdom who was sitting on the sandalwood carved chair with a complicated expression.

The King of Bolen was injured and stayed here in person.

This made it difficult for him to accuse the Kingdom of Bolen of leaving all the responsibility of defense to their reinforcements.

Things are becoming very difficult.

The second prince of the Kingdom of Lensa came to the top of the defense line.

The night wind blows, and there is a faint green flame in the wilderness.

…

Rand returned to the resort again.

Rand got off the carriage with satisfaction, and then Olenna, whose legs were a little weak, also got off the carriage.

After returning to the lord's hall.

Rand outlined his plan.

"I plan to personally investigate what talents like about the resort, record it in a crystal image, and then spread it around the world."

The top brass of the hideout had long been accustomed to Rand's strange ideas, and they only required Rand to deal with the existing territory affairs before conducting a "secret visit".

I don’t care about the rest.

Ellie and Elsa also agree to help Rand with his disguise.

And Rand got to work.

Many affairs of the territory require Rand's review.

In fact, in many cases, the Dukedom of the Moon Phase can operate on its own.

For many important matters, even if the top and middle managers make the decisions themselves, there will be no mistakes.

But people don’t choose to do that.

They always thought that if Rand took a look, they might make a better decision.

Of course, Rand occasionally provides some different strategies for governing the territory, but the number of times is not too many.

This also resulted in Rand's workload being somewhat difficult to reduce.

Fortunately, it didn't drown Rand.

Reading more reports from the territory would also help Rand rule the entire Duchy of the Moon.

Finally, after working overtime for a few days.

Rand had a temporary break from work.

Ellie and Elsa's makeup skills are not bad.

During the first civil war, in order to prevent the beauty of the top leaders from causing trouble, they all wore makeup.

This time it was Rand's turn to put on makeup.

Soon, Rand's image changed from a young duke to a knight from the south.

The escort was Elsa.

Elsa used to be a fugitive for many years, and she is very good at disguising herself.

She raised herself up a lot, put on a large suit of armor, and turned into a burly female knight.

Under the bright sunshine.

Rand and Elsa set off.

The first stop is naturally the streets of the resort.

First, the first target is Karin's detective agency.

Since Karin got herself together again, she has been spending relatively less time in the detective agency.

But this detective agency has never been closed.

In Rand's eyes, Karin and Bishop Kahn are both good people in the traditional sense.

Whenever Bishop Kahn has time or money, he will first take care of the children in the orphanage, or visit the homes of some retired paladins to see how they are doing at home.

Bishop Kahn was unmarried. As a powerful bishop, his income was actually very high, but most of the time he used it to support the poor.

His own expenses were basically only spent on visiting brothels.

But Bishop Kahn did not spend much money visiting brothels, because he was in good health and had good stamina, so much so that sometimes he would even receive red envelopes.

After Rand heard about this from Taran, he was helpless for a while.

As for Karin, she doesn't have any bad habits.

According to Rand's observation, Karin was keen on getting free stuff.

For example, getting eggs.

Or if a restaurant launches a new product and distributes tasting products, you can easily see Karin.

As for other things, Karin is also very frugal and basically never needs to spend a lot of money.

She likes to keep cats, and the black cat with white feet has become fat and plump.

The rest is that Karin loves helping others.

As a relatively famous detective in the resort, Karin is often able to help others through this work.

And that is.

Karin might like to listen to gossip? Rand can't usually see this, but a detective's profession can indeed know some secrets.

Seeing Rand coming, Karin, who was wearing a silver crown, became a little wary.

Of course, Rand's disguise could not hide from Karin's perception.

Karin was all too familiar with what Rand looked like in the temperature-sensing world.

"What's the matter?" Karin motioned for Rand to sit down.

Rand coughed lightly.

Rand explained.

Karin put on a mask that most thieves would wear. The last time she used this mask was when she sneaked into the upper-level hideout.

In order to avoid being recognized, Karin also needed to disguise herself.

Wait until Karin is ready.

Elsa started recording.

"I'm a reporter from the South," Rand introduced himself.

Then he explained what journalists do, after all, there are no journalists in this world.

Karin adjusted her sitting position.

"Excuse me, do you know anything about the holiday resort?" Rand asked.

Karin introduced the resort from her perspective in a cold official tone.

"It's a very magical place, like a city in a knight's novel," Karin explained.

"Do you like it here? What do you think is most attractive about it?" the Rand reporter continued to ask.

Karin glanced at Rand calmly, then said, "I like it here very much. If there is one thing that attracts me the most."

Karin thought for a while and said, "There are many restaurants here that offer free food tastings."

This answer really fits Karin's personality.

Rand asked a few more questions, and then the interview with Karin ended.

The next goal is to take some photos of the streets to show that there is no horse manure, feces or urine in the holiday resort, and the streets are not smelly.

Today's recommendation is actually a Circle fanfiction! Shocking! It's a rare Circle fanfiction! And it's a masterpiece! "Elden Circle, but with Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow", the only masterpiece of the Circle, with exciting battles, reasonable plot, and plot of the Shadow Land.
