Chapter 221 Bandits and New Students

In the evening, dark rain clouds rose in the south of the hideout. As the dark clouds rolled up the cloud mountains that reached the sky, the clear sky of late spring quickly dimmed, and a layer of gloomy iron-gray covered the hideout and holiday villa between the mountains, which was so gloomy that it made people tremble.

It was not until he decided to leave the territory that Rand realized he still had a lot to do.

For example, we decided to subdue the bandits in the Burning Land from the beginning.

Rand stood in front of these bandits. The strict supervision during this period of time had calmed down their hostility a little.

Especially when they saw Olenna.

These bandits knew Olenna, and they still remembered the terrifying sword strike from her.

However, the habits of bandits remain unchanged.

Rand, with Olenna and Ellie standing beside him, looked at these middle and high-level professional bandits and said, "I will arrange some work for you. If you don't work, you won't have food to eat."

There was some commotion among these bandits.

Bandits are not born bandits, but after being bandits for a long time and having their hands stained with blood, it becomes difficult for them to do normal jobs.

Sure enough, someone jumped out.

Rand smiled and raised his eyebrows. He was worried that no one would come out to establish his authority, and now it has happened.

"I suggest you let us do something..."

In fact, in the bandit's understanding, such words have already meant surrender. After all, he has agreed to do the job and just wants to bargain.

They have already witnessed the power of this force, and they speak like this only to raise their own status so as to avoid being sent to the mines to mine.

Unfortunately, this is not a bandit's den, and raising one's own status and being aggressive and violent will not work here.

And Ellie has a bad temper.

The bandit wanted to continue speaking when he was kicked on the knee by a small, leather-booted foot. Just as he was about to scream, a delicate hand grabbed his throat.

"The lord is speaking. What you should do is listen carefully." The same ice-blue eyes as the White King stared at these cowardly bandits.

The bandits immediately realized that this girl with a sweet and lovely face was a top-level professional and seemed to be very cruel.

The neck was broken and the body fell to the ground with the back of the head pressed against the back.

The corners of Rand's mouth twitched. Although he had always known that Ellie had this side, he was still shocked every time he saw it, although he didn't hate Ellie for defending herself.

"In short, if you work hard and pass the labor reform, you will be a good citizen." Of course, Rand did not say how long they would have to do labor reform before they could be free.

After Rand introduced them to some of the work they were going to do, he left with Ellie, whose hands had turned blood red, and Olenna, who was on guard.

"How are you going to convince them next?" Ellie asked.

Rand took out a thick booklet and handed it to Ellie: "It's just a simple reward and punishment mechanism. Rewards for being obedient and punishments for being disobedient."

Ellie took it, looked at it, and raised an eyebrow.

It's clear that Rand has put a lot of thought into it, but I don't know if it will work.

"And if it fails?"

"Then kill them all. It would be harmful to the hideout if we subdue people with bandit temperaments."

Ellie was very satisfied with Rand's idea. Rand was kind most of the time, but he was also decisive when necessary.

"So what's next? If there's nothing extra, I'll go to work." Ellie nudged Rand with her head.

Rand motioned for her to wash her hands quickly so as not to scare others: "The Mother Goddess seems to have some instructions. I'll go and take a look."

Rand now has no need to offer sacrifices to the Mother Goddess.

As the messenger of the goddess of fertility, Rand neither offered sacrifices nor prayed, which could be said to be quite unqualified.

But he can go and meet the Mother Goddess in person.

Although it seems that this god does not have rational thinking.

After returning to the lord's hall.

Rand skillfully came to this wriggling kingdom of God again.

But other than that nothing has changed.

It seems to feel a little hot, but nothing else.

Rand was somewhat confused and returned to his huge stone lord's chair.

…

It's raining and a bit cold.

The girl's last memory was of being locked in place by a great power in the void.

And due to the attack of the Eternal Flame of Purification, she has now lost her vision.

And she seemed to have lost most of her powers.

However, the skills were not forgotten.

And there seemed to be a pistol in his hand, but it did not seem to be the Sin-Washing Flame.

At least she couldn't feel the burning temperature.

Everything in the world has its own temperature, and even now, Karin can still rely on her perception of temperature to replace her vision.

I tried hard to stand up. I felt that this place didn't seem like the domain of some evil god. Instead, it looked like an ordinary country roadside.

There was also a caravan nearby.

"Girl, are you alone?" The caravan on the roadside quickly noticed Karin, whose clothes were covered in mud and ashes and looked a little dirty.

Familiar language, judging by the accent, he should be from Northern United.

However, caravans are always moving around, and it is impossible to identify their location by their accents.

But at least it's a human being, not some scary monster.

"Yes." Karin whispered with a cough.

The people in the caravan immediately started to have evil thoughts.

There's no one here if we catch her.

Although the girl was dirty, her stained clothes could not hide her beauty and exquisite figure.

If you catch it, you can definitely sell it for a good price.

Moreover, Viscount Rand seems to have a very high demand for slaves. This place is not far from the holiday villa in Crescent Territory, so it is just on the way.

Karin realized what these people were trying to do.

A sneer appeared on the delicate and beautiful face.

Although her strength is only one hundredth of what it was now, she is still not someone who can be bullied by these people.

Just as Karin was about to take action, the sound of horses was heard in the distance.

A small team of three cavalry scouts arrived here on horseback.

The leader of the scout team looked at a merchant and caravan guards from a caravan surrounding a muddy blonde girl.

"Slaves are not allowed in Lord Rand's territory." The leader of the scout team said loudly, "Don't you know that?"

The leader of the caravan retreated in disappointment, and the scout captain did not do anything more. In fact, he had the right to kill these merchants who violated the laws of the territory, but there were more people on the other side, and he was not sure whether the girl was a runaway slave or a real local villager.

So he decided to report it first.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

As for the girl, the scout leader said, "The village is ahead. Just walk along the road for a while."

After saying that, the scout captain didn't care about anything else as he had his own mission to accomplish.

After being warned, the people in the caravan no longer dared to have any bad thoughts and just walked past Karin.

Karin noticed a word, Rand.

The name of the leader of the Nurturing Blood is Rand, Rand Cameron.

The apostate Pope used a cult altar to deal with her, which was also made from the blood of nourishment.

The hope that had risen was extinguished again.

Everything here might just be an appearance, but at this moment she could only understand the environment she was in by relying on her perception of temperature. As for more, she couldn't see it.

However, she still chose to go to the village mentioned by the scout.

After walking along the road for a while, I soon felt the bustle.

They were stopped outside the village.

The guard at the village gate stopped Karin.

Because it is a bit strange.

A blind girl holding a guide stick appeared here. The guards at the village gate were the villagers here. They were very sure that there was no such person in the village.

"Girl, what's your name and what are you doing here?" asked the village guard.

"My name is Karin, and I don't know what I'm doing here."

The village guards fell silent.

Then one of them went back to report.

It was Taran who personally met the girl because she looked suspicious.

Taran could tell at a glance that the girl was extremely beautiful, even though she seemed to be blind.

According to Taran's judgment, the girl should be a runaway slave.

The kind that might also cause some trouble.

But it doesn't matter.

If there is really trouble, just send them away. Now that we are here and there seems to be no other place we want to go, the village is in need of people.

"Don't you have anywhere you want to go?" Taran asked.

Karin nodded.

"Then you can stay here temporarily, but you have to work to get food." Even though the girl was very beautiful, Taran still firmly adhered to Rand's philosophy and did not keep idle people in his lair.

Karin nodded again.

The situation here was not what she had imagined, and she had already prepared herself to kill.

But now it seems that this is a normal human village? Although in the perception, it seems that there are cows walking upright.

"What can you do?" Taran continued to ask when he saw that the girl was willing to accept the job.

Karin was silent. Judging from the current context, she should be asked about her abilities to participate in the production.

But she only knows how to kill.

But the current situation obviously cannot be answered in this way.

There may be something terrifying and weird hidden behind this village, but judging from its current appearance, it is still "relatively" normal.

Although she didn't know how long this normality could last, she didn't want the shadow behind the appearance to emerge immediately.

In Karin's judgment, this is the kingdom of the evil god, and everything here is an illusion directed at her, but she still hopes that the peace will last a little longer, at least to let her catch her breath for a while and understand more about the situation.

After thinking for a while, Karin said, "I can write, does this count?"

Taran was stunned and looked down at the girl.

There is an obvious scar between the girl's eyes, and she has never opened her eyes until now.

Apparently invisible.

"Yes, but can you really write?"

Karin dropped her jaw.

Taran produced a wooden board and handed Karin a quill.

"Just write something?"

After Karin confirmed the outline of the wooden board with her hands, she dipped the feather pen in ink and wrote an exquisite official document on the board.

Taran raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the girl was indeed a bit troublesome, but it didn’t matter. Before trouble came, he could let her do some work first.
