Chapter 266: Divine Invitation
There is still some time before the White King arrives at Crescent Moon Territory.
Rand held a grand banquet while handling territory affairs.
The good news is that a great alchemist has finally moved into the alchemy workshop in the hideout.
Although Ayesha said that her main job is still running the perfume shop, she agreed to take time to come to the alchemy workshop to provide guidance.
Great news.
The difference between having a scientific research leader as a core and not having one is huge.
In addition, Rand finally discovered traces of the activities of the God of Struggle Sect in a barony in the south, and now he has sent a team of paladins to clear them out.
All I can say is that it is convenient to have a team of paladins, and it is professional and effective in clearing out cultists.
As for Rand himself, he also had cultists to clear out.
Above Rand's Lord's Hall, the bone snakes were once again coiled on it. Although the skeleton was full of cracks, the overall structure was still preserved.
Except for Taner and Fenris, the top leaders of the hideout gathered in the lord's hall after a long absence.
"Elsa." Rand asked Elsa to report.
Elsa stood up from her seat and said, "A large number of undead were found in the Frost Moon Kingdom. According to the current intelligence, the undead are moving south from the Frost Moon Kingdom. At the current speed, they will enter the southern kingdom in the fall."
"Does it have a big impact on us?" Rand asked.
"Partially," Elsa answered. She conducted a comprehensive investigation into the incident. "The appearance of the undead has had a certain impact on the commercial and tourism industries of the resort. Also, some undead that got separated from the main group of undead have fled to Crescent Moon Territory, New Moon Territory, and Full Moon Territory."
Elsa sat back in her seat.
When Elsa first took on this position, although she did not make any mistakes, she was still not used to many things. Now, she feels more capable and experienced.
As always, Rand sat in the lord's chair where he had built many altars.
Compared to two and a half years ago, the top management of the den has changed a lot.
Except for Lysa. Lysa hasn't changed at all.
In preparation for the upcoming visit of the White King, the Lord's Hall was decorated again. Although the overall style was still rough, there were many more luxurious ornaments and decorations.
For example, the giant stone lord's chair was covered with a layer of fur of some unknown creature.
"Anything else?" Rand continued to ask.
Ellie stood up: "Someone committed suicide in the labor camp."
"What's the reason?" Rand asked.
"According to the investigation, it seems that the guilt about my past experiences is too severe," said Ellie.
"In the next evening activity, we will arrange for someone to tell stories for them, telling the heroic deeds of those who sacrificed their lives for the hideout," said Rand.
Ellie nodded. At this moment, Rand looked a bit like the cult leader in a storybook.
Brainwash people and manipulate their minds.
But Ellie didn't care about it at all. She felt that Rand's methods were worth learning. If Rand agreed, she wanted to recommend them to her sister.
After taking care of some chores in the hideout, Rand stood up.
"There's still some time before the White King comes to visit," Rand said. "It's a good time to let the guards stretch their muscles and kill some of the undead."
After Olenna understood Rand's idea, she immediately began to make arrangements.
…
At the same time, due to the increase in the number of undead nearby, adventurers also received a lot of work to clean up the undead.
Detective agencies, whose work overlaps with that of adventurers, also receive similar work.
Karin closed and locked the door of her detective agency, then packed her belongings.
Although her original intention of opening a detective agency was to facilitate investigations and learning, she didn't mind doing some work that required a little bit of force.
For example, catching a thief, or dealing with the undead.
This is what she is good at.
Then she ran into Rand's team.
In order to deal with the undead, Rand brought a lot of cattle and horses, so he looked extremely evil from a distance.
Karin walked up to Rand, looked at him and the herd of cattle and horses, and felt her own power surging. This was a very strong evil force, so she said, "What are you going to do?"
"To destroy the undead." Rand replied, and then he looked at Karin who was also dressed for going out, "You too?"
"yes."
"According to the agreement, I can now invite you to fight the undead together, right?" Rand invited Karin, who looked a little unfriendly.
It was true that Karin was a little dangerous to him, but if he could invite her along, the casualties of his soldiers would definitely be reduced.
Although it is said that kindness is not the best way to command an army, Rand is still committed to reducing casualties when he can do it, even if it only reduces the casualties of one person, Rand will do it.
A soldier may be just a number to a general, but in fact he means at least one family.
Of course, when necessary, Rand will never hesitate.
He was also well aware that a moment of mercy might also result in more casualties and losses.
Karin tapped her chin: "Okay."
Even if Rand hadn't invited her, she actually planned to go along.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
She no longer believed that this cult leader would do anything evil, but seeing such a powerful cluster of evil forces still made her instinctively alert.
So it is better to go along with it to avoid doubting yourself.
I believe this is what Rand meant. Now both sides lack a foundation of trust, and bearing witness to each other is a better way to build trust.
Maybe in the future, she will really be willing to acknowledge this Feng Rang sect?
Karin smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, thinking that such a thing would never happen.
Karin accepted Rand's invitation and rode a cow horse.
…
“They are all traitors!”
Count Flying Fox roared in prison.
Ever since the civil war began and that young man named Rand showed up, he felt that everything was going wrong.
Count Feihu is trying to find a way to escape.
In a sense, he is now deserted by his friends and relatives.
This incident is different from the last time. The last treason incident has already caused great damage to his reputation.
And this time, collusion with cults is a taboo that cannot be touched.
You know, the Cult of the God of Struggle has caused heavy losses to the Frost Moon Kingdom.
The Scourge Cult also caused a great deal of damage in the royal city.
The vast majority of the nobles of the Frost Moon Kingdom hate the cultists to their core.
And the very few nobles who wanted to cooperate with the cultists would only sneer at his lack of discreetness instead of supporting him.
In other words, if he was really judged, he would be finished.
Fortunately, after being the Grand Duke for so long, he is still very valuable.
He knows a lot of information inside the Frost Moon Kingdom.
This information is still valuable to the hostile forces that want to deal with the Frost Moon Kingdom.
And when he was summoned by the king, he was ready.
In just a few short years, he went from being a high and mighty Grand Duke to a prisoner.
However, as long as he can escape and go to another country, he will still have a chance for revenge.
"The Earl of the Stag, the Marquis of Black and Tan, and Rand."
Count Feihu recited the names of his enemies.
Rand, who was far away in Crescent Territory, no longer considered Count Feihu an enemy. He no longer had the qualifications.
