Chapter 110 "I am a man."

Finally, it was agreed that the two sides would cooperate in two items. One was to jointly open a store. Rand would provide the technology for mixing fruit juice and distilling beer, and the White King would provide funds and venues. The two sides would cooperate to build a beverage and wine factory in the White Kingdom.

Another item is road construction. In the early stage, both parties jointly contribute manpower and funds to build the road. In the later stage, both parties jointly collect road taxes after the road is completed. It can be foreseen that this road will not only benefit the hideout and the White Country.

After the discussion, the White King suggested trying the large bath in the hideout.

Of course, Rand would not let the White King share the place with the adventurers and the followers during the day.

At night, the big bath closed and people were asked to flush it. After careful cleaning, Rand invited the White King to enter the bath to take a bath.

Usually at this time, if Rand wants to take a bath, he will do so with Ellie or Olenna. He can take a bath with a beauty and sometimes he can also experience some handicrafts. He still feels like a tyrant.

But it is obviously impossible to do so now, otherwise it would be tantamount to irritating the White King's nerves.

So Rand just prepared hot water in the boiler room and prepared to leave.

"Want to take a bath together?" the White King invited.

"Ah? Uh..." Rand turned around and looked at the White King's red lips, her beautiful ice-blue eyes, long eyelashes, delicate nose, and white teeth.

Are the people of the White Kingdom so open? Seeing Rand's hesitation, the White King smiled and said, "We are all men, what are you afraid of?"

Rand couldn't see how the White King looked like a man.

But the White King obviously refused to let him go unless they took a bath together.

After Rand folded his clothes, he covered his lower body with a bath towel and slowly walked towards the bathtub.

Then I saw the White King taking off his chest wrap.

After the White King had unpacked his coat, he took out an ice-blue pendant from inside his coat and hung it around his neck. The ice-blue pendant kept flashing an ice-blue light.

Then the White King walked up to Rand in a very casual and manly manner without even taking the towel, and then walked into the bathtub.

If before, there was a one in ten million chance that the White King might be a man, then now it is completely impossible.

The White King was quite generous. At least Rand was clearly visible. Fortunately, his lower body was now sitting underwater, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself.

"Do you believe now that I am a man?" The White King touched the ice-blue pendant on his chest and said openly.

This prop was also produced from a certain relic. Its effect is to interfere with thinking to a certain extent, causing people to misjudge gender.

It doesn't work so well for high-level professionals, and is completely useless for the highest-level professionals, but Rand has tested it herself before, and it's not even at the level of an elite adventurer, so it's obviously going to work.

Rand

Gender: Male Will: N] (expandable)

Of course, Rand didn't know what the ice-blue pendant between the snow-capped peaks of the White King was doing.

He didn't feel anything anyway.

Well, it feels quite good actually.

Now he was a little suspicious whether the White King had gender identity disorder.

Due to the cold weather at this time, most of the White King's body was soaked in the bathing water, but a considerable part of it was still exposed.

Moreover, the water in the bathing pool was very clear, and Rand had good eyesight, so he could see basically everything.

Her skin is as white as ice and her bones are as bright as lotus emerging from the green waves.

Now, perhaps because she has taken off all her disguises and relaxed, she looks even more charming and graceful.

Seeing Rand's stunned look, the White King understood a little. After all, she did not hide herself too much when she came out this time. It was normal for her to look like a woman. Now she probably found out that such a person was actually a man, and she couldn't believe it.

Now we can talk about some topics between men.

The White King sat in the bathtub with his legs crossed, and part of his white knees were exposed above the water.

"How did you and my sister know each other?" asked the White King.

"Uh..." Rand was completely unable to answer this question. Did he use shameless tricks and record a short video when they first met?

So I could only give a vague answer: "It was here. She and Olenna were looking for the ruins together, and then they came here to resupply, and that's when they met."

The White King was not surprised by this answer and asked, "Where is Olenna?"

Olenna, uh.

"I met Ellie together. They always stayed together."

It seems that at least Olenna has always protected Ellie well, and Ellie doesn't look like she has been hurt.

The White King's conversation turned to what Ellie and Olenna had done when they joined the den.

At this time, Rand started to talk more.

For example, when they first started working on documents together, Rand was severely criticized by Ellie because of his ugly handwriting.

For example, when Ellie is doing alchemy, she will occasionally make less successful items, such as an anti-fatigue potion that does not relieve fatigue.

Or maybe Ellie would be lazy sometimes, but when she saw Olena staying up late to help her with her work, she felt distressed, and then she stayed up late to help Olena with Olena's work.

Rand’s beverage creations are sometimes not so successful. Although they are not to the point of being inedible, they are sometimes not very tasty, and then everyone has the experience of drinking the failed product with a bitter face.

Olenna practices martial arts every day, never to be disturbed, unless there is real thunder, Olenna will not force them, but Olenna will also urge Rand and Ellie to practice their skills, saying that sometimes people can only rely on themselves.

There were also things like fighting bandits together, participating in wars, and things that happened with Taner, Shasa, Lisa and others.

Rand's speech was so wonderful that the White King was a little dazed, as if such a scene really appeared before her eyes.

The White King felt that some of these stories might have been invented by Rand, but most of them were certainly true.

This den that made her feel new and surprised was developed step by step by Rand, Ellie, Olenna, and others.

According to Ellie's letter, this place was just a small village at the beginning, but now there is no trace of it anymore.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The White King can now fully understand why Ellie chose to stay here. This is her life.

Sighing slightly, the White King was even a little envious, no, jealous of his sister.

As the White King, she must shoulder the responsibility of the White Kingdom.

The White King watched Rand stand up, go to the boiler room and fiddle with the water valve control, replacing the already somewhat cold water with hot water.

She felt a little embarrassed. She had only taken a bath with Ellie, and that was when Ellie was very young. As for taking a bath with a man, it was even more impossible. This was the only time.

When Rand sat back in the bathtub, the White King withdrew his gaze and placed his hand on his chest to calm his heartbeat.

Well, after Rand sat back in the bathtub, he glanced at the White King a few more times. His face was slightly red due to soaking in the hot water for a long time, and the White King had a good figure, but it was a pity that he usually wore a chest binder, which was really a pity.

The topic turned to some governance-related issues, and the White King finally stopped his father-in-law expression and started to talk more.

Sometimes I would ask Rand some questions.

Although it has long been seen from the buildings and environment here, as well as the living conditions of the subjects and adventurers, that Rand's governance methods are very sophisticated.

But only when you really start talking can you truly feel that Rand's ideas on governance and economic issues are like wild imagination, but if you think about it carefully, they can really be put into practice.

According to Rand, it seems to be "keep your feet on the ground and look up at the stars"? The White King suddenly had a very strong desire to tie Rand back to the White Kingdom and let him be the Minister of State of the White Kingdom. Presumably, the White Kingdom will be much more prosperous than it is now.

Now the White King hated herself for not coming here earlier. If it had been before the civil war, she would have kidnapped Rand ruthlessly. But now, Rand would probably have to accept the reward of Viscount soon.

She could undoubtedly still kidnap Rand by force, but that would undoubtedly lead to enmity, which was a pity.

Taking this opportunity, the White King asked many more questions. Since he couldn't take the person away, at least he could learn more about governance.

In Rand's eyes, the White King at this moment was a bit like Olenna when she asked math questions. In short, he talked a lot more.

However, Rand was not stingy with his knowledge. Many things were still a long way from being put into practice from theory, and there were too many things related to governance. He also needed to verify the actual administrative experience from the White King.

It's a mutually beneficial thing. Rand was worried that many of his theoretical experiences were just theories, and he couldn't remember them clearly or there were mistakes or omissions.

After all, he was just a college student majoring in agronomy, not politics or economics.

It's amazing that he can understand so much, but his way of thinking is different from that of people of this era. Therefore, when we chat, he sometimes quarrels with the White King.

But in short, I benefited a lot.

The discussion between the White King and Rand ended only when Ellie couldn't stand it anymore and came to see.

I didn't feel reluctant to leave. After all, as long as the road is built, there will be many opportunities for communication in the future.

…

The White King left, offering a little extra help before leaving.

Many adventurers, when they are out, occasionally discover powerful monsters with strange deaths. Their hideouts are often attacked by monsters, causing a lot of losses.

At least in many cases, manpower will be wasted to deal with it, and there will be casualties.

Now, ordinary monsters probably won’t dare to approach the hideout for a while.

Rand covered his stone lord chair with another blanket. The cold stone chair was not very comfortable to sit on. Legend has it that some thrones were made of melted weapons. Just thinking about it made him feel uncomfortable to sit on.

Olenna stood aside. The bee sting had been returned to the White King. The White King did not make things difficult for her. He took the bee sting away when he left, but said that he would keep it for Olenna and would not give it to anyone else.

"The reward notice has come down." Olenna took out a stack of parchment and said.
