Chapter 107 "Are you a man?"
The White King arrived at the entrance of the hideout.
At the gate of the hideout, one can see the giant snake bones from afar. The white jade-like snake bones are covered with snow, winding around the top of the lord's hall.
The hideous skull of the giant snake was placed right at the door of the lord's hall.
From a distance, it looked like a giant snow-white snake coiled above the lord's hall, casting a sinister gaze at all comers.
As instructions had been given before, the guard at the door did not stop someone with such obvious features, but took the White King directly to the lord's hall.
The hideout serves as the superstructure of a holiday villa, and many of its roads have now been replaced with stone slabs dug down from the ruins.
The floors excavated from these ruins are much better than stone slabs, not easily damaged and smooth.
There are experimental fields at the den farther away, but they cannot be seen from here.
However, there are already quite a few Tauren and Centaurs moving around in the hideout now.
This is a very strange sight. At least monsters and humans live in harmony, which is almost impossible to see anywhere else.
This doesn't seem to be the case here, and the White King discovered that some monsters could actually speak the common language. Although it was not very standard, she could still understand what they were saying.
She was prejudiced against monsters, but the monsters here seemed a little different.
And there was no bad smell here. Even in the capital of the White Kingdom, where she had vigorously dealt with the stench of feces everywhere, the situation was better in the upper city area close to the core palace complex.
The roadsides in the lower city area are still littered with human and animal feces.
In fact, the holiday villa below is already very clean, and it is even cleaner here. I don’t know how Rand did it.
Entering the Lord's Hall, the White King commented that the decoration style was very much in line with that of the White Kingdom. The lord here did not sit on the high stone lord chair.
The meeting place is in the office next to the lord's hall. If the meeting place is chosen in the lord's hall, then Rand needs to sit on the stone chair to maintain the majesty of the lord.
But the White King was much higher in level than him, so this was a bit offensive, but if he stood at the door to greet him, it would seem too flattering.
Therefore, the meeting place chosen by Rand was the office area. The apprentices had already left, leaving only Ellie and Olenna.
The guard leading the way stopped at the door of the office and motioned for the White King to enter.
The office area was decorated, but the original layout was not changed, it just made the atmosphere a little more formal.
After a year, the White King finally saw his sister.
Although they had been exchanging letters, the White King was still very worried after not seeing each other for nearly a year.
Now that it seemed that nothing was wrong, she felt relieved.
Ellie now looked very different from when she first set out to look for treasure. Her originally brown hair was now mixed with a bit of gold, making it look brighter.
The originally chubby oval face has become a little thinner, but the change is not significant.
Standing next to her was Ellie's swordsmanship teacher Olenna. Apart from some indescribable changes in her temperament, everything else about Olenna was the same as she remembered.
The young man with black hair and black eyes at the side was obviously Rand, whom his sister would occasionally mention in letters, the so-called embodiment of wisdom and strength.
The White King lifted his robe, put one hand on his chest, and performed a noble etiquette: "I am the White King, the White King Calant."
Rand was stunned for a moment and did not react immediately until Ellie poked him on the back. Then he responded with the standard aristocratic etiquette that Ellie had specially trained him for.
"I am Rand, Rand Nicholas, Lord of this land."
The original body's full name was Rand Cameron, but Rand certainly would not be stupid enough to call himself by that name, instead he chose a surname that was similar to the Mother Goddess.
As long as they are not the same name, it is very common to have the same name as the other. Ellie told Rand that although his appearance has not changed much, it is somehow different from the portrait. Of course, to be on the safe side, Rand still put on some makeup.
But not much.
But at least at first glance, you wouldn't think it's the same person.
Therefore, there is no need to worry too much.
The White King had seen a portrait of Rand's original self, but he never thought about it in that direction.
He found a place to sit down and put his hands on the table. "I have helped you spread the word about the ruins, and I have come to get the artifact myself. As for the development agreement, both the White Country and you have fulfilled the terms, and the contract ends here."
Rand was still in shock.
In his previous life, even though Rand was just a casual player, he had seen the portraits of every king who left a mark in the game "Deep Moon".
In his impression, the White King was a cold, handsome man with white hair. Although he looked so handsome that it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman, Rand always thought that the White King was a man.
Now it seems that he looks almost the same as I remembered.
Well, although the report said that the White King looked a bit like a woman, his impression of the White King's appearance was somewhat neutral, so he didn't care much.
Now, now face to face up close, the White King really doesn't look like a man.
Maybe it's the same difference as between Rand and the portrait. Even if the painter is copying a person's face, what is painted is the person as he sees him.
As for the White King, his face can hardly be considered neutral if you look at it up close.
It should be said that she is a handsome woman with long eyelashes, shiny lips and soft facial lines.
Because it is winter, the rest of the body is wrapped in thick clothes, but the outstretched hand is also soft.
Besides, in the middle of winter, you can’t see anything on the chest.
But no matter what, face to face, no one would think that this white-haired, blue-eyed beauty is a man.
Fortunately, after being a lord for a year, he had some skills in cultivating his energy, so he was not startled. Although his eyes were shocked, he still said in a calm tone: "It is true."
As he spoke, he took out the second contract that he had prepared long ago, and then said, "I wonder if you are interested in deepening the cooperation?"
The White King took a look and saw that it was an agency contract. Rand provided the technology, produced the blended fruit juice in the White Kingdom, and then sold it. It was a standard win-win contract.
But the White King just put it aside, covered the contract, and looked at Ellie, who was sitting behind Rand and looking a little restless: "Come back with me."
Ellie just lowered her head and didn't answer.
"Come back with me." The White King repeated, his voice carrying a bit of majesty.
Ellie still kept her head down and did not respond to the White King's words.
Rand sighed, moved his hips, and sat between Ellie and the White King, blocking their view.
Just as I was about to speak, I heard Ellie behind me say in a clear voice: "I don't want to go back, I want to stay here."
"reason."
"The development here is the result of my efforts. The documents for approving the flooring of the roads here were all signed by me. I participated in the planning of the construction of the holiday villa. The tax revenue of the entire Crescent Moon Territory was carefully sorted out by me."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
“Every step of the development here is the result of my efforts,” Ellie said stubbornly.
This was something the White King had never expected. She understood what Ellie meant very well. Only here could Ellie realize her own value. In the White Kingdom, everything Ellie did would be influenced by her reputation.
In the White Kingdom, Ellie is just a bird in a cage, although the White King thinks there is nothing wrong with Ellie being a carefree little bird.
But Ellie obviously doesn't think so.
The White King knew her sister very well, and they actually had a very good relationship, and she was unwilling to force her sister to stay by her side.
but.
But being reasonable doesn't mean she has no temper.
The White King looked at the dark-haired young man standing between him and Ellie and said, "What do you think?"
At the beginning, when they met for the first time, Rand felt that the temperature around him had dropped a lot, and the warm fireplace next to him was not that warm. Rand thought that a window was not closed properly and was leaking air.
Now, facing the White King's increasingly cold words, Rand found that ice crystals appeared on his clothes and had a tendency to spread.
But how can I bow my head at a time like this?
Rand had no choice but to say, "Ellie is an employee we hired legally. Ellie is also an indispensable member of our team. I hope you respect Ellie's choice."
"Heh~" White King Zerun exhaled softly through his lips and said, "Don't you think this is unfair to me, Your Excellency?"
Rand said nothing.
The White King continued, "Ellie is my only blood relative now. Since she was young, I have been taking care of her, finding teachers for her, and supporting her interests."
Interfering in other people's family affairs is likely to make one speechless. Rand does not need to convince the White King. The White King should have made a decision by now and is just complaining.
Rand felt that if he just listened to the White King's complaints, the matter would be resolved.
"So, since you want to take Ellie away from me, you don't think it's free of charge, right?" The White King looked at Rand who was silent there, blinked his long eyelashes, and stared at Rand's face with his ice-blue eyes.
Rand was getting a little restless now. The price the White King mentioned was definitely not money, but it wouldn't be enough to cost him his life.
The White King took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket. He bought them at the holiday resort below when he came here. Now they were just in time for use: "Let's have a duel between men."
It’s true that I, Rand, am a man, but are you a fucking man?
The White King smiled, making her already beautiful face even more beautiful. If Rand hadn't known that the White King was suppressing his anger at this moment.
He will definitely be deceived by this smile.
In fact, even though he knew that the White King was very angry, he couldn't help but look at him twice.
But, that is, I beat the White King?
The White King is not an enemy, so it is obvious that the evil god's blessing cannot be used. Although Rand feels that it may not be effective even if it is really used, the level of the king is really beyond common sense.
But now there is obviously no chance of winning. As everyone knows, Rand is a professional who is just short of the elite level.
He might be able to beat Shasa now, but he certainly can't beat Ellie, let alone the White King.
Well, the White King would definitely not hit him too hard, he just wanted to vent his anger. If he were the White King, he would also want to beat himself up.
It's just a beating. He recovers quickly anyway.
You absolutely cannot retreat at this time, Ellie will never let go.
Just as Rand nodded his head in agreement to the duel, Olenna, who had been listening silently, stood up and said, "Duel, can I represent you?"
The White King blinked his long eyelashes again.
