Chapter 425: Installing the Communication Device, Zorn is Rehired

Zorn returned to the church school.

Due to the failure of the prince he supported, Zorn lost most of the power he had gained through the war.

But there are still quite a few left.

The Hound Family was originally just a viscount family, and was very small in size, but after all this coming and going, they actually gained some benefits.

As for Zorn, his status had been greatly improved because he had proven his military ability.

At least not everyone dares to lead troops to raid Rand's military camp.

What’s more important is.

After Zorn's defeat.

Rand evaluated him in person and said that he passed the graduation exam.

Many people heard this comment at that time.

What does this mean? Perhaps many nobles who are not well-informed do not know that Rand is also good at governing his territory and has a lot of insights into the governance of the country.

But you must know.

Rand's military exploits.

From the First Civil War to the Second Civil War.

Countless battles have proven Rand's military level.

And such a Rand, as the principal of a church school, actually praised Zorn for graduating successfully.

This proves two things.

One is Zorn, whose military ability is really good.

The second is that, apparently, although nominally church schools taught only the most basic military theory, some people did learn real stuff.

As a result, now that the Frost Moon Kingdom has stabilized again, many children of nobles have been arranged to attend school again.

This resulted in the fact that although the teaching staff of church schools had been greatly supplemented, there was still some shortage.

After Vanilla looked for Rand several times, Rand gave her a strategy.

Re-employment.

Invite some outstanding graduates to return to campus and serve as teachers.

Then Zorn came back.

Due to the defeat, Zorn would not have the opportunity to come into contact with power for a long time.

Currently, Zorn is in a period of idleness.

Just in time to catch it and go to class.

Rand was not worried that Zorn would refuse. After all, Zorn was still nominally a defeated prisoner.

Coming back to school to teach and educate is a way of atonement.

Salaries will be paid, but you must obey the arrangements.

Anyway, that's it for now.

The church school became lively again.

Now, thanks to the efforts of the King's aunt Eleanor, there are more human teachers than elven teachers in the church school.

And due to Ellie's influence as a mage and Ayesha's influence as an alchemist, the church school's basic mage classes and basic alchemist classes have also been opened.

When they graduate, Rand will have access to better quality talent.

"Lord Zorn." A young chef appeared in front of Zorn.

Zorn had just finished today's teaching assignment and was planning to go to the restaurant area for dinner after work.

He is very familiar with this place.

"Just call me Zorn. I'm not an adult." Zorn said helplessly.

"Viscount Zorn, I'd like to ask for your help," said the chef.

Zoen's eyes were alert. The Frost Moon Kingdom was generally stable now, but of course there were still potential opponents who were hiding their true feelings. There were not many stable people among the nobles of the Frost Moon Kingdom, otherwise there would not have been two civil wars.

Zorn has decided to firmly support King Marcus. He used to support the third prince because of his family's choice.

But now, he still feels that the principal's choice has more future.

Zorn frowned, intending to test the waters a little, so as to identify potential opponents.

"You say." Zorn whispered.

"I heard that your strategy is second only to Lord Rand," said the chef.

Zorn's eyes narrowed.

"So I'd like you to help me beat the restaurant next door," the chef continued.

Zorn's eyes became blank.

Is this Defeat the Restaurant some slang term?

Zorn probed a few more times.

It turns out it is really a "brutal" competition between restaurants.

Zorn laughed a little, then adjusted his tone: "What's the reward?"

"Permanent VIP meal ticket." said the young chef.

"Very good, come here, I have a way," Zorn was very satisfied with the reward.

The chef came over.

"You hire some people to go to the tasting area of ​​the restaurant next door to try the food. If something tastes bad, they should praise it as delicious, and if something tastes good, they should say it tastes bad," Zorn said confidently.

The young chef looked at Zorn with shock. Was this the dirty military strategy of the nobles? I learned it! After the young chef left, Zorn continued to visit the area.

At this time, Rand was also in trouble.

The result of the civil war was the victory of the "neutrals", but there was one thing that was very miraculous.

That is, the other two defeated factions, the eldest prince and the third prince, as well as the third prince's mother, the former queen, all survived.

Marcus did not execute his cousin's children or widow.

This certainly carries some political risks.

But it also prevents his reputation from becoming too bad.

As for these potential political risks, they were naturally left to Rand to deal with.

Marcus had already done most of the political work, and Rand would naturally have to do some as well.

So now, Rand is inviting the royal family of the Frost Moon Kingdom to have hot pot.

Rand brought out his magic weapon, the iron pot, which was the king of gourmet food.

A standard shabu-shabu pot.

It's great that there are chili peppers in this world.

"Chili peppers can increase appetite, remove toxins and drive away cold." Rand also popularized some knowledge about chili peppers, "Spiciness is still a sense of pain, not taste."

Lysa picked up a piece of thinly sliced ​​mutton and put it into the spicy pot. Soon, the mutton changed from snow-red and white to brown.

Dip the sauce, then open your red lips.

The spicy lamb flavor exploded on the taste buds, but it was true that the spiciness should be the pain.

At this moment, Lisa's eyes lit up.

Can chili peppers be used in other places, such as in the basement?

Thinking of this, Lisa became a little excited.

Lysa was ready to plan.

On the side, the eldest prince, the third prince, and the former queen were all sitting next to the hot pot.

Dined somewhat reservedly.

The second prince is actually still alive. Marcus tells Rand that he has captured the second prince and interrogated him.

But Rand must keep this secret, so now these royal family members don’t know the situation of the second prince.

Marcus obviously felt that the Second Prince was not suitable to be released, and planned to take care of his food and lodging for the rest of his life.

As for the rest of the royal family, at least Marcus himself did not want to kill them.

However, the eldest prince, the third prince, and the former queen were still a little worried.

It was not uncommon for one to be exiled to a monastery after failing in a political struggle.

The Torch Church has always had this kind of business, providing new jobs for nobles or royal family members who have failed in political struggles but have not been executed.

But the eldest prince, the third prince and the former queen knew that their affairs were important and their existence had an impact on Marcus' political rule.

The probability of being executed is not small.

"Don't be shy. Eat when you should, drink when you should." Rand said.

But of course these royal "prisoners" still cannot be released.

Rand didn't care and ate his own food.

The top leaders of the den didn't care and just ate their own food.

Then Rand signaled to the royal family members that they could leave.

But after a while, the former queen returned.

Because I was too nervous, I left something here.

The former queen looked quite charming in the night sky.

At this time, Lisa, who was thinking about how to use the chili pepper, looked at the former queen who was a little scared.

He looked at Rand who was directing the maid to clean up the dishes.

Now Rand finally has a maid to help with some housekeeping issues.

Lysa suddenly had an idea.

Lisa walked up to the former queen and whispered, "My Queen, you don't want anything to happen to you and your children in the resort, do you?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Lysa looked at Rand, but Rand didn't notice this.

The former queen looked at the white-haired elf with a cold tone and arrogant look.

The former queen knew that this white-haired elf held a high position in Rand's forces.

The former queen nodded nervously.

"Then you will need to satisfy Lord Rand's special hobbies~" Lisa said mysteriously.

"Your Majesty, I'm sure you also know some legends about the holiday villa... Woo, woo, woo..." Rand appeared behind Lysa and covered her mouth.

Then he apologized to the former queen, "This elf has delusions. Please don't take her words seriously."

The former queen nodded nervously, then picked up her lost items and quickly left the place.

Sure enough, being exiled to such a place, far away from the center of power, although the quality of life has not decreased much, it still requires some price to pay.

After the former queen left, Rand pinched the back of Lysa's neck and glared at her: "Don't go too far."

Lysa blinked, wishing Rand would move more.

…

Two weeks later, Rand returned to the river's defense line.

This river located in the Duke of the Moon is very wide, but not turbulent. As a natural line of defense, it is not very effective.

But there is also an advantage, which is that it can be navigated.

After the second iron ship was built, Rand changed the strategy of the port shipyard.

We started building some pure wooden boats, both large and small.

Some were also dragged into the river basin.

The source of this river is not too far from Crescent Moon Harbor, so if the ship is not too large, it can be reached by sailing on land.

This is certainly troublesome, but there are strong centaurs in the hideout and the road is relatively flat.

It didn't take too long to do this.

It's summer.

Lander moved to the main castle on the river defense line.

Rand didn't think that his place would become the main attack direction of the undead, but he still planned to take precautions.

The undead are the second most powerful enemy he has faced since he came to this world.

The most powerful one is the hellish orc.

The threat of the infernal orcs has not yet been dealt with.

But as for the problem of the infernal orcs, the White King is at the forefront.

And the undead.

The Kingdom of Borun, which was holding on in the front, could no longer hold on.

Rand has to face the undead, at least some of them.

There is another difficult problem with the undead, which is that they cannot be taken as prisoners and used as labor for Rand.

Rand initially thought of the strategy of stealing electricity. After all, the undead in the City of the Dead could probably accept the power input from the Obsidian Tower and remain active for a long time.

For example, capturing some active undead to do labor.

Rand has always been good at using evil forces to do good.

Because Rand's own spirit, for some reason, seems to be immune to the temptation of evil.

For Rand, evil power is just power, nothing else.

But after the last patrol captured the undead, Rand realized that the Obsidian Tower could easily cut off the undead's power supply.

Rand exhaled a breath and cast his eyes away from the rough core castle.

"Wandering undead have appeared from time to time in the vicinity, and some villages have also been threatened by the undead. Fortunately, no village has been attacked so far," Tata reported.

Tata and Serai were assigned to assist Rand and learn and observe this time.

Fenris is stationed at the border of the Burning Lands.

Taner is in charge of Man Yue Territory.

"How's the communication device being installed?" Rand asked again.

"All key areas have been installed," Serai reported.

Okay, that's it.

Rand nodded.

A fixed vibration communication device is certainly not the miniature, oval-shaped one.

In order to enhance stability and signal strength, the fixed vibration communication device is the size of a watermelon.

And it's square.

Now Rand can only install vibration communication devices in key areas.

Because this thing is actually very expensive and the materials are very rare, the key components need to be excavated from the ruins.

The output of relics is obviously limited.

But even so, it is still a very powerful alarm tool.

A faster reaction speed would allow Rand to increase his control over the territory several times, and would also make it much easier to fight against foreign enemies.

"Anything else?" Rand asked again.

Tata said, "It seems that we don't have enough time to build a defense line. There are already a lot of undead nearby. The undead may launch an attack on us at any time."

"It's okay, just do as much as you can." Rand said there was no need to worry too much.

This is also the reason why Rand intends to rely on the river to build a line of defense.

Rivers are natural barriers.

The ships pulled over will also serve as mobile defense.

Of course, this method cannot completely defend against the undead.

At this time, the garrisons stationed at various joints of the territory will come into play.

Overall, I have considered all of this, and now I just hope the problem isn’t too big.

There shouldn't be any big problems.

The Torch Church's newborn faction will certainly help in dealing with the undead this time.

Rand isn't dealing with the undead alone, either.

If the offensive is fierce, Rand can still get a lot of reinforcements quickly.

Now the Bucks family has not moved away completely, and the Black and Brown Marquis family also fully supports Rand.

Tata and Serai quickly went down to work.

Elsa suddenly appeared and handed Rand a letter.

Letter from the Kingdom of Bolen.

Rand frowned.

After opening the letter, it turned out to be a letter asking for help from the King of the Kingdom of Bolen.

The King of Borun Kingdom hopes that Rand can help contact the Torch Church of Frost Moon Kingdom, and then invite them to destroy the Obsidian Tower that is being built on the first line of defense of Borun Kingdom.

The King of Bolen said he would pay for it.

"Give this letter to Ms. Karin," Rand said to Elsa.

Elsa leaves.

Of course Rand wanted to destroy the Obsidian Tower.

But now, he had to make the undead give up attacking the Dukedom of the Moon Phase.
