Chapter 154: Fists, Kicks, Struggles, Intermission

Just as Shelan, the eldest son of Earl of Buck, had expected, there were no attacks along the way.

Shelan also had time to introduce to Rand the historical origins of the surrounding buildings.

For example, the Column of Triumph can be seen almost everywhere in the royal city.

It was originally a door. If a major war was won, the warriors would walk through this door and receive flowers and blessings from the citizens and nobles of the royal city.

Of course, conscripts are not eligible for this.

Later, after a conspiracy, the door was knocked down and now only a tall pillar remains.

Since the distance was not far in nature, Rand quickly took Shelan to the Earl of Bucks's mansion with his guards.

After saying goodbye to Earl Stag, Rand encountered trouble on his way back.

He was blocked by some noble children.

The reason for stopping him was to invite him to the mansion of Count Feihu.

To be honest, Rand really didn't want to bother with these people, because for Rand, all the current situations were still favorable to him and Count Buck.

Just wait a few more days, until the procedures with the Noble Court and the King are completed, and then the trial is over, and the matter will be over. He can go back to see the results of the experimental field in the hideout, and give Elsa and Lisa a holiday.

He had absolutely no reason to meet this Count Feihu. It would only cause trouble and would do him no good.

But Count Feihu doesn't seem to be aware of this.

Rand whispered with Ellie beside him for a while and confirmed that these noble children were all young nobles who were originally from the Three Princes faction and are now the surrender faction.

They probably stopped him here because they thought Rand didn't dare to kill the nobles.

"I won't go to see Count Feihu. Please go back." Rand's voice was a little tired. He listened to a skeleton screaming all night last night. Although he didn't get anything out of it, he met Shelan again in the morning.

I wanted to help Olena with the housework, but I haven't done it yet.

The original plan was to help Olenna with the housework and then go to sleep, but now these people were preventing him from going back to do the housework.

It's like preventing him from sleeping.

How did you say that? There is already a way to die! Unfortunately, he couldn't kill the nobles here.

The same is true for children of the nobility.

"I'm sorry, Earl Feihu really wants to see you." The leading nobleman's tone and words were polite, but his behavior was very rude.

In other words, why did Count Flying Fox feel that Rand had reason to meet him?

Is this boring method useful?

"Stop playing these boring tricks." Rand really didn't want to get entangled with these people.

Although it may sound a bit complacent to say this, it is true that Rand is no longer on the same level as these noble children. It would be more meaningful for him to clean his mansion more often than to get involved with these people.

The leading nobleman took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and threw them to Rand.

Rand rolled his eyes.

The next moment, the white gloves were torn apart in mid-flight.

Olenna sheathed the sword that shone with silver light.

He understood the way these people think, and thought that he would completely follow the rules of the nobility, right?

For example, if someone throws you a white glove, will you agree to a duel?

In fact, if it is a serious duel, the sword has no blindness and it is allowed to kill, but that requires someone with sufficient prestige to act as a notary, and now there is obviously no such condition.

Someone is really dead, and it will be hard to explain when the time comes.

"Oleanna." Rand's voice was somewhat helpless. "Give them a lesson."

Olenna always knew what Rand meant.

Under Rand's gaze, he also took out a pair of white thick gloves from his pocket.

Then slowly thread the thin strips onto your hands.

Olenna looked at the noble youths who had their hands on the weapons at their waists, and said in her usual calm and gentle voice: "I'm not very good at using fists and feet."

The implication is that the attack may not be gentle or severe.

The streets of the royal city had not completely dried up after the rain. It was still early morning and the warm sun was not very scorching.

Some golden doves flew across the sky. They were golden because they were illuminated by the sun.

Olenna punched at a speed that these young nobles had no time to react to.

She was indeed not good at fighting, but there was a huge gap between the top professionals and these noble children who were probably better than Rand.

However, Olenna controlled her strength very well, and in order not to cause trouble to Rand, she did not really act recklessly.

The force is just enough to knock the person down, causing him to be in so much pain that he can't get up, but without causing any real harm.

Now it can be passed. Count Feihu doesn't look mentally retarded. Could it be that these noble young men did it themselves? After all, didn't Shelan just say that Count Feihu was seriously injured?

It would be meaningless if it was really the Earl Feihu, an older nobleman, who ordered this.

But the claim of these young nobles was that Count Feihu wanted to see him.

Could it be that they were looking for a place to kidnap him, Rand, as the talking skeleton had said? Rand frowned.

Looking at these young nobles lying on the ground, Rand did not leave immediately.

But after thinking about it carefully, I still can't figure out what to do.

At this time, footsteps were heard behind me.

It's Shelan.

Shelan came over at a trot, so he was a little out of breath after catching up. He looked at the young nobles lying on the ground and did not ask any questions.

After stopping and waiting for a while, Shelan calmed down his breathing and said, "I received the latest news. My father asked me to come and tell you."

Generally speaking, only servants, such as butlers, are needed to deliver messages.

For someone like Earl of Stag, sending his direct heir to inform him was a sign of his great respect for Rand.

Rand glanced at the young nobles who were either fainting or groaning softly, and asked, "Is this news that can be announced here?"

Shelan nodded and said, "Sure."

After a pause, Shelan said, "Earl Feihu is no longer in danger and has woken up."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This is such unfortunate news. Rand really feels sorry for it.

Now it seems that it is really possible that it was Count Feihu who gave the order himself, but he acted so quickly. Did he care about Rand so much that he came to disgust him as soon as he woke up?

Besides, being so disgusting is useless. It has no other effect except making him feel worse.

Just as Rand was about to pass, something made a shattering sound.

It is a ritual vessel of the Torch Church.

In order to interrogate the talking skeleton, Rand had someone buy the Torch Church in the royal city and gave it as a gift an alarm.

However, the one that exploded at this time was not Rand's. Rand naturally placed the alarm gift device in the mansion. As a cultist, he was naturally averse to this thing.

What exploded were the bodies of these noble children. Maybe because Count Feihu was attacked before, many people did suspect that it was the undead, so they brought ritual objects with them when they went out.

Rand's first reaction was that his identity as a cultist had been exposed.

His appearance now is somewhat different from what it was at the beginning. At least at first glance, you would definitely not think it is the same person.

But his evil nature still remains.

Could it be that the power of the evil god caused the ritual vessels of the Torch Church to be broken?

That's not right. Since he has the blessings of both the God of Struggle and the Goddess of Plenty, he will not be discovered by the ritual vessels of the Torch Church.

Could it be that the Torch Church has recently developed a new type of alarm detection device? If not, it means that there are other cultists nearby.

Rand took a quick look and found that a young nobleman who had been knocked down was no longer breathing.

"Is it so cruel?" Rand frowned. "Using one's own people to launch a self-destruction attack?"

It seems that this Count Feihu is really connected to the Scourge Cult.

It's quite exciting indeed.

After Shelan finished sharing the information, he was about to leave when he heard the sound of the Torch Church's ritual vessels exploding.

But there were no cultists or evil creatures around.

Then, I saw that the young nobleman who seemed to have fainted and lost his breath on the ground slowly floated up.

The originally ordinary blue eyes and whites were covered with a dark green color, and then green light and green flames came out of the mouth, nose and eyes.

It looks quite impressive.

Rand took two steps back and nudged Ellie, who was not very nervous, with his elbow and asked, "Should we wait here for this thing to transform? Can we kill it now?"

If we don't count the mysterious elf Lysa, Ellie has always been the most knowledgeable person in the den. She judged: "It doesn't matter whether this thing is fought or not. The key is the caster of the Scourge who is hiding somewhere nearby."

Each sect has a different way of pleasing the gods.

The way for the God of Struggle Cult to please God is to fight, and all fights are theoretically included in this.

The way of the Torch Church is to save with fire or to destroy with fire. The goddess of fertility represents fertility and harvest, as well as flesh and blood.

The Scourge Cult's sacrifices are simple, yet common, unnatural deaths.

Whether it is plague, sharp blades, or magic, as long as they kill lives that should not die, they can please their god, the Apostle of Scourge.

Therefore, the death of this young man was considered a sacrifice. The important thing was to kill the Scourge cultists who were hiding in the distance to perform sacrifices and cast spells. Otherwise, each of these young men who had probably been prepared in advance would die and then turn into undead.

Soon, the young man turned into a skeleton with green flames burning all over his body.

"How do we find it?" Rand asked.

Ellie explained: "Theoretically, the caster can't be too far away."

Then he blinked and said, "If I hope to find it in a short time, I can try carpet bombing."

Rand looked at the magnificent houses around him and said he couldn't afford it.

This is the house in the royal city, every inch of land is valuable. If it blows up, we may be able to afford the compensation, but we will definitely suffer a huge loss.

Looking at the skeletons rushing towards me, these are really tricky. I don't think I really have to choose to attack with money.
