Chapter 299 Rand's Force Training

Infected by Ellie's wedding anxiety, Rand has also been making some preparations recently.

For example, personal force.

Rand felt that as a noble from the relatively southern part of the Northern Alliance, he might be challenged by one of Ellie's suitors.

Therefore, Rand felt that he needed some special training in personal martial arts.

Although the top leaders of the hideout felt that the most effective way for Rand to improve his personal combat power was to wait for the mechanical construct that Lysa and Ellie were working on to be developed.

But since Rand was rarely willing to practice his martial arts, the higher-ups in the hideout were very happy to keep him company.

Especially Elsa and Olenna, they would be "taught a lesson" by Rand from time to time, and now they are very interested in being able to "teach" Rand a lesson rarely.

Therefore, Rand held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and fought alone against two powerful top-level professionals - Olenna and Elsa.

Ellie looked on.

"Come on!" Rand cautiously poked his eyes out from behind the shield.

Elsa said helplessly: "Can people really recognize your fighting style like this?"

Rand built a huge shield and planned to win by strength relying on his superior physical fitness.

Like knocking someone down with a giant shield.

Ellie and Olenna, two natives of the White Kingdom, also felt that this style of fighting was a bit unreasonable.

Rand had no choice but to put down his shield and choose a new weapon, a giant sword.

Then strike a pose.

Rand's talent and fighting ability are actually quite outstanding.

He is now an elite-level professional, and it took him less than three years to reach this level.

You know, Rand also has to deal with a lot of territorial affairs and lead troops to battle.

For ordinary people who want to become elite professionals, it usually takes at least ten years.

Many people may never become elite professionals in their entire lives.

And because Rand is blessed by the Mother Goddess and has strong physical fitness, he is actually equivalent to a human-shaped minotaur.

If an elite-level Rand chooses the right fighting style, he can fight against the upper-level professionals.

This is enough. If someone really appears to challenge Rand, he will at most be a senior professional.

If a top professional really comes to provoke Rand, the White King will take action.

Isn't this a clear provocation to the White King's authority?

Therefore, the training given to Rand now is to let Rand, a lord who almost does not need to go to the battlefield in person, find his own way of fighting.

"The giant sword is a good choice." Elsa pulled out two black daggers from her waist and assumed an attacking stance.

【Name: King of Killers

Type: Dagger x2 Ability: Bubble]

The effect of this pair of magical daggers is very simple and can greatly enhance the user's abilities in all aspects for a period of time.

The side effect is that it will cause a great burden on the body after use. Basically, even the most advanced professionals will have to rest for a few days after use.

But even so, this is still a very powerful artifact.

If the user is an assassin like Elsa, then during this period of "bubble" time, she would be almost the same as the god of death.

Of course, there is no need to use "Bubble" when practicing with Rand.

Elsa was simply giving Rand stress training.

Olenna took advantage of Rand's defense against Elsa without hesitation and attacked him from the side and back.

Rand let go of the greatsword in his hand, dodged Olenna's attack, then gripped the hilt again and, using the strength of his waist and back, swung the greatsword in a huge arc.

Olenna and Elsa then declared him the winner.

Although he was the winner of a solo battle against two top professionals, Rand just rolled his eyes.

"You've made a lot of progress." Elsa put the dagger back into the scabbard at her waist. "Your fighting style is quite clever. I was going to hit you twice before letting you win."

Olena also said: "Indeed, you have a very good talent. As long as you keep training, you should be able to handle ordinary high-level professionals."

Olenna did not persuade Rand not to overindulge himself. Rand did this every winter. Generally speaking, if one wants to become stronger, one must pay attention to moderation in all aspects, but Rand has the blessing of the Mother Goddess, so he does not have this problem.

At this time, Elsa said: "A guest has arrived."

Elsa originally planned to take revenge on Rand for pulling her xx a few nights ago.

But Rand's progress is indeed good, and now there are guests, so let's leave it alone.

The Marquis of Black and Brown and the Earl of the Stag came to the Full Moon Territory, while Shelan stayed in the Crescent Moon Territory and did not follow.

Seeing Rand still holding the giant sword, the Marquis of Black and Brown and the Earl of Stag were a little surprised. They had never heard of Rand's personal fighting ability.

Now looking at Rand's standing posture and sword-holding gesture, I feel that his level is pretty good.

The congratulations were not spoken. The two nobles, who were also good at personal fighting, took weapons from the weapon racks beside them and said with a smile, "Let's practice."

Rand didn't know why his two allies suddenly became eager to show off their skills.

But he also wanted to try to see how his fighting ability compared to other nobles, although as a young man, it was a bit embarrassing to bully the elderly.

But they were the ones who started it, weren't they?

Rand swung his heavy sword, then smiled. "Who goes first?"

The Black and Brown Marquis and the Stag Earl attacked at the same time without hesitation, showing no martial ethics at all.

Being able to wield such a heavy sword, one may have reached the level of a senior professional.

Rand also took advantage of his youth.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to talk about martial ethics.

The Black and Brown Marquis held a gun and the Stag Count held a sword, attacking Rand from the left and right.

Rand twisted his waist, blocked the sword of the Earl of the Stag with the hilt of his sword, and blocked the gun of the Marquis of Black and Brown with the blade of his sword.

Then he used his powerful strength to knock the two middle-aged and elderly people away.

The Marquis of Black and Brown and the Count of the Stag were both very good at martial arts, and they fought with Rand for many rounds before giving up.

When everyone put down their weapons, the originally pale face of the Dark Brown Marquis turned a little rosy after some movement.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But he soon returned to his original sickly look.

"Congratulations on becoming an earl." said the Black and Brown Marquis and the Stag Earl.

They had long been aware of Rand's potential, but the fact that he became an earl in just three years still shocked them for a long time.

Such a speed can definitely be recorded in history.

However, the more powerful Rand is and the faster it develops, the more beneficial it will be for them.

Therefore, they were very happy that Rand became the Earl, but they originally thought that it would take Rand at least a dozen years to achieve this, so they were not mentally prepared in advance.

The Marquis of Black and Brown and the Earl of Buck came to congratulate this time and brought gifts.

The Black and Brown Marquis presented Rand with a ceremonial sword inlaid with gems. It should be quite gorgeous whether worn or hung on the wall. As a newly promoted earl, Rand lacked sufficient decoration.

Earl of the Stag provided some shipbuilding drawings from the Ice Sea Pirates.

It just helps Rand accelerate the advancement of shipbuilding technology.

Rand also turned his gaze towards the two nobles again.

When I first met the Marquis of Black and Brown, he was a strong and strong middle-aged man. At that time, the Marquis of Black and Brown was still an earl, and his hair and beard were also black.

Now the black and brown Marquis's hair and beard were mixed with a lot of gray and white.

The days of the Black and Brown Marquis are numbered.

The Earl of the Stag is better, but now he has many more wrinkles on his face.

In this day and age, it is very difficult to live a long life if you don’t take good care of yourself or are a powerful professional.

I just don't know how long the Earl of the Stag can live.

After congratulating, the Black and Brown Marquis said calmly that he had changed his heir and hoped that Rand would take care of his young offspring.

As for the useless Jayne, the Black and Brown Marquis hopes that Rand will arrange a knighthood for him and then send him to the south to hone his skills.

Rand nodded in agreement. To be where he is today, the help and recognition of the Black and Brown Marquis were indispensable. Besides, these things were not troublesome for Rand.

The Marquis of Black and Brown said that in order to repay Rand's help, the Marquis of Black and Brown would provide Rand with an education fund, and before the heir grew up to be eligible to inherit the title, a considerable portion of the taxes in the Marquis of Black and Brown would be handed over to Rand.

This was simply a request for help. Originally, Rand thought that even if the Black and Brown Marquis would not live long, he could still hold on for a few more years. But now it seems that the situation is worse than he thought.

Rand let out a long sigh, cleared these things from his mind, and then said, "Would you like to try the secret fish soup I just developed?"

The Black and Brown Marquis and the Stag Earl both smiled and expressed their interest in the fish soup.

It is almost spring now, but the frozen rivers have not thawed yet. The climate here is not particularly cold, but the winter ocean is still rolling with waves.

The fish soup is delicious and can warm the chest and abdomen in this season.

The Marquis of Black and Brown and the Earl of Buck carefully inspected the construction of the port and asked about Rand's subsequent development plans.

Although they trust Rand quite a bit, investment is a matter of individual cases and needs to be carefully examined.

However, there was nothing wrong with Rand's plan, and both the Black and Brown Marquis and the Buck Earl decided to invest.

Crescent Moon Harbor is now quite lively.

Since the investment of the Duke of Thorns' aunt had been transported to Crescent Territory, Rand did not hesitate to use the money to hire adventurers and laborers.

And buying slaves from slave traders.

The current port is still in the very early stages of construction, but the roads leading to other places have been almost completed.

Subsequent construction materials and manpower will be delivered much faster.

And some roads have been replaced with brick and stone roads.

The improvements made to the carriage at this time were mainly in the axles.

This would allow a two-wheeled carriage to be turned into a four-wheeled carriage and would allow for steering via speed differences, which would greatly increase freight capacity.

As for the brick-burning kilns, multiple kilns are spliced ​​together, which can reduce the heat loss of the kilns and improve the brick-burning efficiency of the kilns.

Rand had thought about making cement, but there were no suitable limestone veins around and he had no good means to obtain large quantities of limestone.

Furthermore, it will take some time to develop cement, so right now we should prioritize shipbuilding technology, as brick and stone pavement is already quite good.
