Chapter 343: Sacrifice time!

Rand decided to offer the Ice Phoenix egg to the Mother Goddess.

The location was not the mansion in the White Kingdom's capital.

But outside the city.

Initially, Rand planned to hold the ceremony at the mansion.

But think about it, this egg is a divine product that even the White King cannot break.

Moreover, before it turned into an egg, the Ice Phoenix was able to hurt the White King.

What a quality sacrifice! Rand was worried about some kind of cult sacrifice in the White Kingdom's capital.

So Rand rented a carriage and dragged the altar alone to a deserted place outside the city.

There is no need to worry that nothing will happen to him because of the sacrifice.

The higher-ups in the hideout and the White King will watch from a distance to ensure Rand's safety.

And with the altar, Rand is less likely to have any safety problems.

Secure the altar.

Rand has not yet mastered the technology of making altars. It seems that all the altars in this world have some origins.

At least Rand never managed to get the altar-making technology out of the cultists when he tortured them.

The altar needs to be fixed and connected to the ground before it can be used.

I guess there is some ritual or principle requirement.

Anyway, the altar cannot be used if it is placed on the carriage.

Rand anchored the altar to the earth.

The base of the altar and the earth seemed to grow together.

Rand placed the Ice Phoenix Egg on the altar.

Then he finished the sacrificial prayer at a very fast speed.

Invisible flesh and blood emerged from the altar, covering the surface of the ice phoenix egg.

But after a while, the sacrifice continued without ending.

This continued for some time.

Rand felt that an invisible being was watching him.

Rand felt that everything had changed.

The ground beneath your feet, the soil and rocks around you, and the flowing streams are all moving.

Everything turns to flesh and blood.

Everything is expanding and multiplying.

The sky seemed to have turned into a sea of ​​blood.

The earth seemed to be breathing.

Fortunately, this scene, which seemed like the arrival of the kingdom of God, only lasted for a moment.

Then Rand began to fall.

But he fell to the ground quickly and was not injured.

And in the distance, from the perspective of the top management of the hideout and the White King.

With the altar in front of Rand as the center, a large area in radius was missing a large piece, as if it had been eaten by some creature.

An egg mixed with white and black appeared in front of Rand.

Rand lost an altar to the Mother Goddess.

Obtained a black and white mixed egg.

The sacrifice of the Ice Phoenix egg was successful, and the Mother Goddess swallowed the Ice Phoenix egg without hesitation.

But in return for the sacrifice, there was also an egg.

It seems to be the product of the Mother Goddess's devouring.

According to the version of the Mother Goddess sect's doctrine that Taner recited at the beginning, this thing seems to be the true offspring of the Mother Goddess, the black goat kid.

The true messenger of the Mother Goddess?

But this one doesn't look like it will hatch into a black goat kid.

Rand activated [Blessing 4: God's Grab] without hesitation.

The exploration was soon over.

This is a bird egg.

And there should be no tentacles either.

But it hasn't hatched yet, so Rand isn't completely sure.

Also, Rand discovered that this still followed the rule of sacrifice-return.

Although it is a physical gift, it should be something Rand can control.

Rand could feel a vague sense of control over the bird egg.

But Rand was still worried.

At this moment, cracks appeared on the eggshell in front of him.

Rand tensed.

Although it seems that they will not be hostile to him, they may even be under his control.

But this is a creature that can hurt the White King.

The White King, watching from afar, was also ready to act.

As the cracks in the eggshell increase.

Soon, a jet-black bird-like creature appeared before Rand's eyes.

Is it... a crow? It looks exactly like a crow.

With the birth of the "crow", the eggshell began to disappear gradually.

After the eggshell completely disappeared, the "crow" grew a circle larger and became as big as Rand's palm.

The Raven and Rand looked at each other.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Rand felt dizzy for a moment.

He gained the crow's vision? But the cooldown of God's War has not yet ended? Then he retreated back to his own vision.

Rand found that he could switch the crow's perspective freely.

If this crow flies, wouldn't he be able to gain bird vision? Although it's far from being able to see the entire map.

However, the perspective provided by a bird's eye view is completely different from that of humans.

Rand also felt that he could control this "crow" to a certain extent, and maybe he could use it to send messages.

Also, can it grow bigger, for example, grow as big as the Ice Phoenix?

The White King and the top brass of the hideout came to Rand's side.

Ellie asked, "How's the situation?"

Rand explained.

"Could it get out of control?" the White King asked at this time.

"The probability is very low, and I have a certain degree of control over it," Rand said.

"That's fine." The White King nodded, "At least it's much better than the Ice Phoenix that might come back to life at any time to seek revenge on me."

It's just that the risk has shifted a little to Rand, and the White King feels a little guilty.

…

After the sacrifice, Rand had nothing to do except prepare for the wedding.

The original plan was just to welcome the bride, but now Rand is also very popular in the White Kingdom.

Therefore, a wedding will also be held in the White Kingdom’s King City.

Once in the White Country and once in the hideout, a total of two weddings were held.

During this period of preparation, Rand wandered around the White King's City.

As the Shadow Minister of Military Affairs, he helped the White King deal with some military issues.

Besides that, there is sightseeing in the White Country.

Another option is to go to the White Kingdom's palace and take a bath.

Since Ellie also lived in the palace and Rand was Ellie's fiancé, it was normal for Rand to go in and out of the palace all the time.

The White King's efficiency was higher than Rand had imagined.

I thought the wedding came first.

Unexpectedly, the Northern United Nations Conference came first.

The venue for the meeting is the royal city of the White Kingdom.

Rand and Ellie sat in the back and listened to the meeting, while the White King was in the center of the venue, personally presiding over this meeting attended by more than a dozen countries.

All those present were kings of a country or brothers of the king, and the lowest-ranking ones were all grand dukes.

In the audience seats, Ellie sat on Rand's left, and on his right sat the prince of the Takagi Kingdom.

The prince wanted to whisper in Rand's ear, but Ellie pushed him away with her hand.

"Just tell me what you want to say." Ellie glared and said in a low voice.

The prince of Gaomu Kingdom had no choice but to ask: "I wonder if Earl Rand is interested in obtaining a fief in Gaomu Kingdom? Many territories in Gaomu Kingdom are currently lacking owners. If you agree, the fief you get will be at least twice as large as your current territory."

After hearing about Rand's deeds, the king of Gaomu Kingdom became interested and asked the prince to come and lobby.

Rand rolled his eyes.

The territory size has tripled, which sounds good.

But now the Takagi Kingdom has been ravaged by orcs.

If you go to Gaomu Kingdom to be a noble, you have to find a way to gather the population, fight against the orcs, and develop infrastructure, otherwise you will not be able to generate any income.

Also, even if it had not been ravaged, the land of the Gaomu Kingdom was still far less than that of Rand's Moon Phase Earldom.

There are the fruits of Rand's long-standing farming, as well as a port under construction.

It is the foundation of kingship and hegemony.
