Chapter 369: Lysa thinks Karin is the same kind (5000!!!)
In the end, Karin decided to place the stone pillar on which the names of the victims of the Torchlight Church would be engraved in Rand's territory.
And named it the Inscribed Stone Pillar.
Rand set aside an area in Crescent Territory as the location for the Torch Church to store the engraved stone pillars.
It is not far from the holiday villa.
The holiday villa is expanding every year and now it has reached the size of a city.
It's just different from other cities of this era.
A holiday villa without walls.
In this era, it is difficult for a city without walls to develop.
Because there are monsters like goblins and slimes in the wild.
There are wild beasts, monsters, bandits or other hostile humanoid races.
The wilderness is full of dangers, and cities without the protection of walls can be easily attacked.
And once a war breaks out, a rich city without walls will undoubtedly be a piece of fat meat on the chopping board.
But holiday villas are an exception.
The holiday villa is developing too fast, and the city wall will only hinder the development.
Whether it is building multiple rings of city walls or demolishing the city walls and building new ones, it is quite troublesome.
There are a large number of adventurers in the resort villa, and ordinary monsters on the roadside will only become monster materials for adventurers to exchange for money.
The resort also has Centaur patrols, the "Thunder" Centaur patrols who will deal with any threats they see.
If a stronger problem arises that the Centaur Patrol cannot handle, Inspector Elsa will solve it.
As for the threat from enemy troops.
Crescent Territory is the core and hinterland of Rand's territory.
If the enemy army really reached the resort, Rand felt that the city wall would be of little significance.
After recording the list and talking to Karin about the engraved stone pillar.
The day's events finally came to an end.
Karin went to rest in her own house not far away.
Rand slept with Elsa in his arms.
…
The next day, Karin went to work as usual and came to protect Rand's safety.
Now this route should not be attacked again for a short time.
But there are still potential risks to Rand's safety.
During the previous Battle of Gaopo, a powerful top-level professional rushed out from the Knights of the Kingdom of Boren and attacked Rand.
But unfortunately.
Both Elsa and Karin were focused on protecting Rand.
No enemy was given a chance.
At this moment, Karin glanced at Elsa's messy hair beside Rand and curled her lips.
Karin felt that Rand's private life was more in line with that of a cult's messenger.
Elsa tugged at her collar in embarrassment. She had gotten up a little late today and had just put on her clothes and leather armor.
Now that might not be very elegant.
Elsa straightened herself in front of the mirror.
"What are you doing today?" Karin asked.
"Rest and wait for news from Crescent Moon Harbor." Rand said.
Right at this moment.
Lysa is out.
Lysa walked into Rand's room.
He looked at Elsa who was fixing her hair, and then at Karin who had a slightly disgusted expression.
Lysa thought.
During this war with the Kingdom of Borun, Lisa's job was to provide support.
Originally, she was supposed to come here to protect Rand's safety, but Karin took on this task, so Lysa went to Crescent Moon Harbor.
I'm here to deliver a letter.
"Something might be happening in Crescent Moon Harbor," Lisa said. "There was an unusual storm there."
Rand looked at the sky.
This is the border between the Earldom of Moon Phase and the Kingdom of Borun, and the sky is clear.
Crescent Moon Port is not very far from here.
Is it a storm? Rand looked at Karin and Elsa and said, "Let's go now."
Rand went to another castle, entrusted all affairs to Fenris, and then set off in a carriage.
If you walk a little further towards Man Yue Ling, you will reach a flat brick road. The speed of the carriage will be significantly increased, so you don't need to ride a horse anymore.
Rand did not bring his personal guards, and the blocking during this period consumed a lot of their energy.
Therefore, the Royal Guards were left in the castle on the border.
Graduates from church schools also stayed here.
Rand felt that they all needed a break.
Rand, Karin, and Lysa sat in the carriage while Elsa went to scout.
Lysa and Rand sat side by side, while Karin sat across from them in the carriage.
The carriages of this era did not have suspension and shock absorption systems, but since the roads were relatively flat, it did not cause much damage to the buttocks.
Lysa stared at Karin.
Karin didn't really want to meet Lisa face to face.
And she always felt there were strange noises in the carriage.
But she didn't want to think about it or carefully sense where such a sound came from.
She could basically confirm that the one who was bullied by Rand in the basement that night was probably this elf with extraordinary white hair.
In theory, such characteristics are only possessed by the ancient elves in the classics.
The blood of ancient elves and the blood of the elven king are not the same concept, but the specific difference is not mentioned in the text of the Torch Church.
Elves hardly exist as free individuals in human society.
Theoretically, this elf named Lysa should also be staying with Rand as a slave.
In other words, this Lysa is an elf slave girl.
But Karin also knew that Lisa often served as the chief administrator of the hideout, which was the job previously held by Bishop Kahn.
Moreover, Karin had seen the chair that belonged to Lisa in the lord's hall.
So Lisa's identity has always been very strange in Karin's eyes.
If you are a female slave, it is normal to be tied up in the basement and beaten. It is rare to see human nobles with such a perverted hobby, but it does exist.
But if he is an important figure in the hideout, it is hard to understand.
Only foolish rulers would bully their subjects who serve them.
And at least for now, it seems that Rand is not stupid, or can be said to be quite smart.
Rand would not make such a mistake.
And this Lysa doesn't seem to have any resentment towards Rand.
Karin couldn't understand.
In a carriage that is not too bumpy.
Lisa, who always had a cold and arrogant expression, continued to stare at Karin.
Karin turned away, feeling like she was part of the interaction between Lysa and Rand.
As for Lisa's arrogant expression, Karin didn't feel offended.
After a while, Karin couldn't stand Lysa's gaze anymore. Karin pushed her crown that covered her eyes and said, "Is there something on my face?"
Lysa shook her head.
"Then why have you been looking at me..." Karin asked.
Lisa stood up and moved from sitting face to face with Karin to sitting side by side with her.
Lysa leaned close to Karin's ear.
Karin turned her body slightly, trying to stay a little further away from the ancient elf.
Lysa whispered, "That basement!"
"I don't know!" Karin immediately denied in a low voice.
Then I realized that my answer was no different from admitting it.
"What's the design taste of the room?" Lisa asked.
Karin's face turned a little red.
She recalled that in the basement, she, a saint, did that kind of thing in front of the cult's messenger.
Karin gritted her teeth and squeezed out a word. She faced Rand with a slightly angry expression: "Shameless."
Obviously, Lysa was driven by Rand to ask such shameless questions.
Sure enough, Rand is a pervert.
Rand was puzzled.
Then he glared at Lisa and told her not to ask weird questions.
Lysa pretended not to see.
"Why do you do such a thing!" Karin asked in a low voice with a mixture of shame and anger.
Rand was confused: "Huh?"
Karin knew that Rand was favored by the evil god, and she also knew that Rand was a wise lord.
Karin admired Rand's personal charm that enabled him to gather a large number of talents to serve him.
And the governance wisdom that always gives her insights.
But unfortunately, it now appears that Rand's private life is extremely perverted, completely fitting the image of a messenger of an evil god who is loyal to reproduction.
This kind of thing is harmless to the cooperation between the Torch Church and the Mother Goddess Sect. Rand can obviously distinguish between public and private affairs.
But now it seems that this pervert wants to extend his claws to her.
Lisa looked at Karin who was saying something incomprehensible and felt that Karin, as a pervert, was a little restrained.
Of the three people present now, Rand is very clear that Lysa is a pervert, Lysa is very sure that Karin is a pervert, and Karin thinks Rand is a pervert.
Rand felt that Karin had misunderstood him and wanted to explain: "This was her own decision!"
Rand explained.
Karin recalled Rand's abnormal abilities.
Karin felt that Rand's words at this time were not credible.
Then Lisa felt that everyone here shared the same interests, and there was no need to hide or be so reserved.
You know, last time Karin used her basement without permission, she tolerated it!
After all, there are too few people in this world who share the same hobbies.
It is truly precious to be able to collect all three.
For this, Lisa was willing to give in! In the carriage.
The curtains of the carriage blocked out the scorching sun, which was already quite intense as summer was approaching.
The curtains swayed with the movement of the carriage.
And in the sight of Rand and Karin.
Lisa took out a movable cat tail and an oval-shaped toy from a small bag beside her.
"I customized one for you as well." Lisa said with narrowed eyes.
She believed that after seeing such a masterpiece, Karin would let go of her reserve.
Karin recognized the oval-shaped toy that vibrated when opened.
But I don’t recognize the other cat’s tail and don’t know what it is used for.
But Karin knew very well that this must be something shameless.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Rand could feel the temperature in the room rising.
Karin gritted her teeth and said to Rand, "If you have any hobbies, do them by yourself. Don't involve me!"
Rand signaled to Lysa with his eyes to put everything away quickly. He felt that his reputation could not be cleared.
Lisa still had a cold and arrogant expression. She felt that Saint Karin was really dishonest.
"You don't know how to appreciate a good person." Lisa snorted coldly.
Karin looked at Lisa strangely.
Now she began to suspect that both Lysa and Rand might not be normal.
Lysa stuffed the cat's tail and the oval toy back into her bag.
Then he handed the package to Rand: "Here you go."
Rand put the things away in silence.
Karin fell silent.
She suddenly wanted to escape from the carriage.
She found that she was probably the only normal person in this small carriage.
And she also discovered with some sadness that perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, she was no longer normal.
Only she knew what she had done, and she was very clear that she had no choice.
But it is also true that she had committed suicide in front of the cultists and was proficient in using the elliptical vibrator.
But don't do the same thing with Rand and this elf who is also suspected to be a pervert! Karin was a little distracted.
Since being sacrificed in the Old Holy City and coming to Crescent Moon Territory, she has seen many things she had never seen before.
But this one looks like a cat's tail, with a cone-shaped construction device at the end and an oval toy that vibrates.
...To be honest, she didn't want to understand at all.
The teachings of the Torch Church do not require the saint to be pure and flawless, and the saint can get married.
But this kind of thing...
But she still needs Rand's ability to heal her eyes.
Of course she could give up, but now, she has been treated to the point where she can see clearly for three seconds.
There is hope for a complete restoration of light.
However, she was somewhat afraid that she would become a pervert like Rand on her way to regaining her sight.
Karin's angry expression turned into a look of despair.
Rand felt a little embarrassed as he looked at Karin who was in autism.
In fact, he had just thought of an explanation, but now it seems that it will be of no use.
Rand felt that the atmosphere in the carriage was really awkward.
Lisa thought for a while and said, "The new 'vibration communication device' is an enhanced version and very powerful. Are you sure you don't want to try it?"
Rand felt the temperature in the car rising again.
Rand kicked Lysa out of the carriage. This pervert would only ruin the atmosphere!
Wait until Lisa leaves.
Rand looked at Karin, who seemed a little angry and a little desperate, and asked, "It will take some time to reach Crescent Moon Harbor. Do you want some treatment?"
Rand felt his eyebrows burning.
Rand jumped out of the car and fled.
Karin decisively sensed it with her heart.
Although she was angry, she did not forget her responsibility to protect Rand.
As the leader of the Novice Faction of the Torch Church, she would never act on impulse. In fact, she would not burn Rand even if he did not run away.
Or perhaps burning off Rand's eyebrows was her biggest act of impulse.
Rand didn't run very far and quickly found a spare horse to use as a mount.
Karin did not continue to sit in the carriage, but came out and picked a horse.
Lisa returned to the carriage.
The closer we get to Crescent Moon Harbor, the darker the sky becomes.
By the time Rand arrived at Crescent Moon Harbor, he could already feel the strong wind raging.
Rand first checked in with Ellie and Olenna about the situation, then went to find Tanr.
Taner told him that a large number of crossbows had been placed along the coastline.
If the enemy breaks in from the coastline, the crossbows will cause a large number of ships to sink forever in this sea area.
But in such wind and waves, will the enemy really sail over here?
…
The fleet of the Kingdom of Bolon was swaying in the waves.
Now there are not only strong winds, but also heavy rains.
But as a coastal country that is good at sailing, the level of its sailors is quite good.
Although some time was wasted, the fleet finally approached Crescent Moon Port.
The coastline was stormy and windy.
There were only a few guards.
The commander of the Bolen Kingdom's fleet smiled.
It seems that even the famous Earl Lander can be negligent.
The commander of the fleet of the Kingdom of Bolen did not look down on Rand, thinking that Count Rand was nothing special.
Rand's past military achievements have proved that Count Rand is a military genius.
But in such weather, it is natural to relax the vigilance of the coastline.
If the commander of the Kingdom of Bolen himself encountered such weather, he would not think that the enemy would attack from the coastline.
Now it seems that the rewards of taking risks are finally coming.
The fleet commander of the Kingdom of Bolen ordered the fleet to land.
Small boats were launched from the big ship, and countless small boats came to the coastline.
In the rain, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Bolen rowed their boats hard.
The soldiers of the Kingdom of Bolen and their noble commanders were somewhat excited.
Because they believed that the famous military legend, Earl Lander, was likely to be defeated by them.
They admitted that Count Lander was a fierce and cunning opponent, but that was far from enough!
Rand hid in a secluded spot behind the beach, waiting for the large and small ships on the opposite side to come closer.
Rand felt that he was a greedy person.
It can't be that so many soldiers and nobles on the fleet are as tough as the previous knights, right?
He felt that he had lost a lot of people in this battle and it was time to recoup some of the costs.
He felt that these rowing soldiers had good physical strength and were very suitable for farming.
And by the end of this year, his port will be almost completed, and there will still be a shortage of many sailors and captains.
Emm, isn't this delivered to your door?
I can only say thank you for the gift of nature! It takes a lot of energy to row a boat from the coastline.
The first wave of small boats ran aground on the flat coastline, and the soldiers stepped into the mud and sand of the coastline.
Then came the second wave.
The soldiers who landed first did not launch an attack immediately.
They were waiting for more people to come ashore and then form a formation.
Soldiers who are not in formation and soldiers who are in formation have completely different combat effectiveness.
The soldiers who arrived first also took a break.
And after a considerable number of Boren Kingdom naval soldiers landed.
Rand ordered the crossbows to fire.
Now the Rand crossbow version has been improved and is a three-bow crossbow.
It is very powerful and has a longer range than traditional crossbows.
A huge metal crossbow arrow pierced into the large ship of the Borun Kingdom fleet near the coastline.
The large ship, which was already bobbing in the waves, was shaken slightly by the impact.
Then there were more metal crossbow arrows.
As well as the arrows of the archers and the crossbowmen's arrows.
Rainy days are not suitable for archery because the rainy weather may cause the bow back to lose its elasticity due to excessive moisture.
Rand tried to have his archers and crossbowmen shoot under dry cover, which would limit their shooting angles but would be slightly less affected by moisture.
The same is true for the bed crossbow.
And because Rand prepared a lot, the overall shooting effect was good.
The originally excited soldiers and nobles in the fleet became shocked and lost.
Their strategy failed.
So now we are in a dilemma.
The attack would be against Count Lander's army, which was clearly well prepared.
And retreat.
Many small boats have been stranded, and they are facing huge winds and waves in order to return to the sea...
It doesn't seem very realistic.
