Chapter 264 The agreement between the cult leader and the saint, and before the war breaks out again
After a formal dinner meeting.
The cult leader and the Torch Saint drafted an agreement.
Rand looked at the agreement with a twitching face.
I feel like I have the same headache as when I read a contract in my previous life.
The Saint agreed to sign a non-interference treaty with him, but on the condition that he could not kill innocent people, spread the plague, or arrest innocent villagers for evil experiments without authorization...
There are dozens of other clauses. Anyway, everything that the Saint Lady thinks the cultists might do is written in the treaty.
"I think it's unfair." Rand didn't think there was anything wrong with this treaty. After all, he would never do such things.
Karin stared at him in silence.
"These are restrictions for me, not for you," Rand said.
Karin added a note to the treaty stating that the restrictions applied to both parties.
In short, Karin herself must abide by these conditions, not killing innocent people, not...
I feel like this treaty is all bullshit.
Neither he nor Karin would do such a thing.
It feels no different from when there was no such treaty.
At best, it just provides them with a reason not to interfere with each other.
Rand felt that he was at a loss and planned to try to get some more.
"This is my territory." Rand thought for a while. "If I allow a being like you to move freely in my territory, I will bear great risks. Besides, my knowledge is not free."
"When necessary, I can provide limited support." Although Karin was quite hostile to Rand, she was still reasonable.
She really wanted to learn Rand's governance theory, and she also wanted to live a normal life here, but that would indeed require some price to be paid.
"Then the deal is done." Rand said nothing more.
He didn't intend to ask for more, and it was enough to get such a promise.
After all, it was too much to ask a saint to serve him, the leader of a cult.
…
After Karin and Rand reached an agreement.
He started running his own detective agency again.
When the golem attacked, she revealed her strength, but it was normal for talented people to appear in a holiday villa, as long as their identities were not exposed.
There are very few people in this world who know what she looks like, so she doesn't need to worry too much.
She also wore a crown that covered her eyes, which, in a sense, could also be considered a mask.
I'm not very familiar with her and can't recognize who she is.
In short, Karin's detective agency reopened.
However, it is not open 24 hours a day. According to the seven-day week system of the resort, it is open five days a week, and she has two days left to participate in the study courses arranged by Rand for her.
After Rand knew that she wanted to study here, he acted very generously and told her that she could walk freely in the holiday villa at the foot of the mountain, and if she wanted to come to the upper level to observe and learn, she only needed to apply, and the higher-ups of the hideout would accompany her.
In addition, Rand also arranged study courses for her.
He seemed to not care at all that she, the hostile Saint of the Torch Church, would learn too much and affect his development plans in the future.
Rand really didn't care much about how much Karin could learn, because even if she learned a lot, there was no complete Torch Church for her to practice.
The collapse of the Torch Church has become inevitable. Rand guessed that the reason why she still wanted to learn about governance concepts was just to find out where she went wrong in the past and what obsessions she might have.
It's almost autumn now.
The whole place was becoming increasingly busy.
Rand's lodging-resistant, high-yield, disease- and pest-resistant wheat can be considered a successful breeding success. A piece of land has now been designated for trial planting, and the results will be visible in half a year.
Missionary work is also developing well. The Rand's Fengrong sect, disguised as the Torch Church, has established a foundation of faith at the grassroots level in the surrounding villages.
This will not only increase the support of the villagers in Rand's territory for Rand, but also form a certain degree of intelligence network for the surrounding territories.
And the monopoly on grassroots trade also began to provide Rand with some profits.
It can be predicted that in the near future, this profit will increase more and more.
In addition, some pioneering knights have already arrived at the Crescent Moon Territory.
At the same time, these pioneering knights also received explosive news.
The second son and heir of Earl Feihu, Viscount Perot Kaituo, who had received a lot of support from Earl Feihu, had been completely wiped out.
Perrault's frontier was divided between Rand and Sheran.
Perrault's whereabouts are unknown.
This made many pioneer knights who originally planned to join Pero stunned for a moment.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
It also hit the confidence of some pioneering knights.
They originally thought that since the kingdom was holding a knights' conference, the situation in the south should be more optimistic, but now it seems that this may not be the case.
The territory of a pioneering viscount who had the full support of the earl was completely destroyed.
However, it seems that Rand and Shelan's strength in all aspects is still relatively intact, so these pioneering knights will not completely lose confidence.
Now Rand is in the lord's hall of his hideout, meeting the pioneer knights who came to visit him.
"No need to salute." Rand said to the visiting knight while sitting on the giant stone lord's chair.
These knights are also considered to be aristocrats. After coming to the south, they will obtain a territory of their own.
In the future, many of them may be awarded the title of baron or even viscount.
These pioneering knights will have their own followers, weapons and equipment, as well as the support of the king. Their personal fighting skills are also excellent. In the future, they will become the backbone of Rand or Shelan.
Some pioneering knights who originally thought that Rand had excellent military command capabilities and came to pay their respects to him did not stay in the lord's hall for too long after they met Rand.
After the visit, we went to hang out at the resort at the foot of the mountain.
Rand recently launched a grand pioneering gift package!
The gift pack contains a large amount of food, livestock, tools and weapons that are helpful for expanding the territory.
But no one wanted to, and these pioneering knights had to find a way to solve the problem themselves.
The items in the gift pack are of average quality, but they are cheap and really useful.
Rand had no intention of betraying his own people.
These cheap gift packages will definitely help these pioneering knights.
And in the evening, Rand is going to hold a banquet.
The nobles in this world all love to hold banquets, but Rand rarely holds them.
But now is a great time to hold a banquet.
The autumn harvest was coming soon, so it was a good opportunity to use up some of the old grain that had been stored for a long time. Also, he could show off the wealth of his territory so that more pioneering knights would decide to join him.
The vast majority of pioneer knights who came here were attracted by Rand's military command ability.
And Rand now has to prove that he is absolutely qualified in internal affairs.
