Chapter 211 Rand breaks through the elite level! And Torch Bishop Kahn

Rand would do morning exercises every morning, accompanied by Olenna.

Then, when they have free time, several senior members of the hideout will try to teach Rand.

It turns out that Rand's talent is not that bad, at least not to the point of being a hopeless case.

Two years later, Rand barely reached the threshold of an elite professional.

Although he had abundant resources, used a lot of good things to assist him, and had a powerful and patient "teacher" to teach him, it was still not easy for him to become an elite professional in just two years.

If you follow the path of ordinary adventurers in this world, it will probably take one or two years to get started and become a professional who masters basic professional skills.

Then spend a long time training yourself, honing yourself in dangerous environments, and polishing each professional skill to perfection.

At that time, you will become an elite professional.

As for becoming a senior professional, that is a level that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

There may be some people among the elite who will occasionally have a flash of inspiration in their lives, realize their own characteristics, and find the possibility of becoming advanced professionals.

Then, to truly master your own qualities and become a senior professional, it will take countless time and a little bit of luck to succeed.

There are very few young senior professionals in this world. Most of them are in their fifties or sixties and are about to die of old age.

Moreover, even senior professionals of this age are still very rare.

This is why Rand attaches great importance to those high-level bandits. Such a large number of senior and elite professionals are extremely valuable wealth.

And Rand, in just two short years, although he had the "thoughtful" instruction of a famous teacher and had been using all kinds of good things that were beneficial to career advancement, he also had the desire of the Black Goat Mother to improve his physical fitness in all aspects.

But Rand did not practice his skills all the time. On the contrary, he was working most of the time in the past two years. Only in the winter when there was less work did he practice his professional skills more.

Although Rand spent more time indulging himself in winter.

Rand waved the one-handed sword in his hand, then put the sword back into the scabbard and smiled proudly: "It seems that I have a good talent."

Olenna, who was Rand's sparring partner, also sheathed the swift sword named Dawnbreaker.

Ellie on the side nodded and clapped, making a very surprised voice-over.

Rand glared at Ellie twice, and Ellie stopped.

But this is indeed something worth celebrating, although the elite level seems insignificant among the many top leaders in the hideout.

But Rand also has various magical blessings. As his professional level increases, Rand's application of blessings will become more precise, and the improvement in physical fitness brought by the Black Goat Mother's thirst will also be used more widely.

Therefore, although Rand is only an elite-level professional now, he can be regarded as an elite-level professional at the physical fitness level of the Tauren, rather than an elite-level professional of humans.

If other abilities are not taken into account, Rand's level of single combat should be about the same as when Shasa first met Rand.

If we take into account the desire to share, for which God takes away such abilities, then the high-level professionals also have a hope of fighting.

Of course, that was just hope. Rand had never really tried it, and the higher-ups in the hideout would not give Rand the chance to face the high-level professional enemies alone.

"We have a visitor." Ellie said after Rand and Olenna finished their competition.

Ellie came here in person to say this, which meant that the visitor's rank should not be low. Rand made a rough guess and felt that with his social circle, there were not many possible candidates: "Is it the Marquis of Black and Brown, or the Earl of the Stag?"

"It's Bishop Kahn," Ellie said.

"?" Rand had never heard of Bishop Kahn. If he was the bishop of the Mother Goddess sect, it should be only Seth.

"He's the bishop of the Torch Church in the royal city." Ellie obviously guessed that Rand might not know, so she explained. When she found out that it was Bishop Kahn who came to visit, she was surprised for a while.

"Did they say anything?" Rand's joy at breaking through to the elite level was dampened a lot. The Bishop of the Torch Church came here, and Rand couldn't guess what good news there was.

Rand felt that his crime of modifying the Torch Church's doctrines without permission and preaching in the name of the Torch Church had been exposed, and now the bishop was likely to come to call him to account.

This made Rand feel guilty: "And how many people did he bring with him?"

"He didn't say anything. He just brought four followers." Ellie couldn't help but smile as she watched Rand's face turn pale and blue.

Rand heaved a sigh of relief. The worst-case scenario was that the bishop brought hundreds of church knights to attack the pagans. Now it seemed that no matter what, there would at least be room for maneuver.

"Let's go." Rand took the towel from Olenna and wiped the sweat off his body. "Let's change into formal clothes."

Rand seldom wore formal clothes. He only wore them once, when the White King came over, and he hardly ever wore them again.

But for Rand now, the Bishop of the Torch Church is indeed another person who needs to be treated with caution.

Rand put on the crown for the first time in a long time, the golden crown inlaid with the gems invested by Ellie. After changing into the lord's robe that suited his status, he stood in the center of the lord's hall, waiting for the arrival of Bishop Kahn.

Soon, Bishop Kahn arrived at the lord's hall.

Of course, he had heard of Rand, the famous Viscount in the Frost Moon Kingdom, but he had never met him.

Until the Red King Karin sent him a letter, asking him to come and learn about Rand's governance of the territory and the economic principles here.

Bishop Kahn was very surprised when he heard this order, because what he had heard most about in the royal city of the Frost Moon Kingdom was Rand's military command ability and Rand's battle record.

He had never heard of Rand's governance capabilities, and no one cared about this matter. At first, he thought that the Red King Karin was wrong.

It was not until he arrived at Crescent Moon Territory from the Royal City and then walked from the holiday villa to the upper-level hideout that, although he only saw a lot of things superficially, the smooth road surface, the popularity of people coming and going, and the rows of buildings all proved that the Saint Lady was not wrong.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Rand's governance ability should not be underestimated, and may even be better than his military ability, but too few people care about it.

After once again admiring Karin's sharpness, Kahn turned his gaze to Viscount Rand who was standing in front of the lord's chair.

Before entering the Lord's Hall, he certainly noticed the giant snake bones above the Lord's Hall, but there were many possible sources of these snake bones, so as an experienced old bishop, he was not overly shocked.

The architectural style of the lord's hall is also very rare, exuding a practical and wild atmosphere, and a bit of domineering.

Viscount Rand was even younger than Kahn had imagined, but there seemed to be something smeared on his face, which smelled like ointment. He might have an injury on his face.

But even though he was applying an ointment of unknown effect, Rand still looked handsome as he stood there tall and straight.

"Welcome to your visit." Rand nodded to the old bishop, and then went straight to the point, "May I ask what is the matter with this visit?"

As for why he had ointment on his face, it was naturally because Ellie reminded him that he was actually a wanted criminal, and he would be in trouble if he was recognized. The last time he saw Karin, it was Ellie who reminded him in time and asked him to put on a mask.

To be honest, since becoming the lord, Rand has not felt any pressure of being wanted, so much so that he often does not realize that he is a wanted criminal.

It was too offensive to wear a mask when meeting Bishop Kahn this time, so he pretended to have a facial injury and applied some ointment.

Bishop Kahn did not question the ointment on Rand's face, but said: "The Torch Church intends to support you."

"What do you mean?" Rand was a little confused.

"The Torch Church plans to build a small church in your territory, and then move in a team of Torch Knights, some church personnel, and a bishop," said Bishop Kahn.

"Ah?" Even though Rand had been a lord for two years and had practiced Qi cultivation quite well, he still failed to control his expression at this moment.

What exactly did this Bishop Kahn mean? If Rand hadn't had his followers disguise themselves as members of the Torch Church and preach everywhere, and if Rand himself wasn't a messenger of some evil cult, Kahn's proposal would have made him ecstatic.

This means the recognition and support of the Torch Church. Even if the Torch Church is now split into three factions, the benefits of such a proposal far outweigh the possible negative impacts.

But Rand's territory is a bit...

Rand was silent for a while, and after carefully organizing his words in his mind, he spoke carefully: "Bishop Kahn, please allow me to think about this for a while. The mountainous land may not be able to provide much funding to the Torch Church."

Kahn thought Rand had misunderstood him and thought his proposal was for money.

The Torch Church was indeed short of money during this period, and there was a sign that it was becoming a Church of Wealth, with many things requiring money in exchange. However, this time was not the case. This time it was a pure investment by the Torch Church in Rand.

Bishop Kahn was about to explain when he saw Viscount Rand, who was wearing gorgeous lord attire but whose temperament did not match the luxurious clothes, continue to speak: "Let's not talk about this matter for now. We are about to hold a cooking competition here. Can you come and show us your presence?"

Although Bishop Kahn had never heard of the cooking competition, his mission this time was to see and learn as much as possible. Since Rand invited him, there was no reason for him to refuse.

And there was no rush to build a Torch Church here, so the old but still energetic bishop smiled and nodded, expressing his willingness to watch the cooking competition that Rand highly recommended.
