Chapter 377 Archdruisus and the Secret Deal between the King of Borun and Rand

Finally, in the carriage, Rand and Karin discussed the final plan.

Newborn faction.

Flame, harvest and rebirth, and sticking to the original intention.

The name was acceptable to both Rand and Karin.

If it were translated into the words of Rand's previous life, it would make Rand want to laugh when reading it.

However, if it is pronounced in the common language of mainland China, it is still very serious.

And it's full of power.

"Then we will be called the Torch Church's Novice Sect from now on," Rand said.

"Then there's the job title." Rand thought for a moment.

Rand's Cult of the Mother Goddess of Fertility has only a very simple hierarchy.

The messenger of God Rand, Archbishop Seth, as well as missionaries and ordinary believers.

Orthodox churches with a long tradition, such as the Torch Church Novices, have very complex levels and positions.

Now that we are going to cooperate deeply, the job levels must also be made clear.

Karin crossed her arms.

"You can actually continue to use the ranks of the Torch Church." Karin felt that the rank division of the Torch Church was quite complete.

Rand thought for a moment and said, "Let's make a distinction. Let's call our bishops druids."

In Rand's previous life, druid meant the clergy of the Celtic people.

The Neo-Druidism that evolved later was a religious practice characterized by nature worship.

And in this world.

The meaning of druid is some wizard who can manipulate natural forces or transform into wild beasts.

There are very few human druids in this world, and the vast majority of druids are elves.

Rand extracted the two terms "nature" and "change" and decided to name the high-ranking clergy of his mother goddess's sect as Druids.

For example, Archdruid of Seth.

Seth is familiar with doctrine, understands nature and farming, is familiar with the mysteries of harvest, and can change his body.

And get close to wild animals such as... cows and horses.

That's a druid! As for whether the elven druid would object.

If they object, let them come and speak in person.

As for other members of the Mother Goddess sect.

Rand is hesitant about whether to let Theus teach them the ability to change their bodies.

Although Rand felt that Seth might not understand the principle of how his hands could turn into tentacles.

So, can the nuns of the Torch Church withstand the tentacles of Seth?

Rand is not sure if the ability to change bodies is a blessing or a curse? Now he needs to find some volunteers to try it out.

And is it because Seth is special that he can maintain his sanity, or is it because the power bestowed by the Mother Goddess does not affect sanity?

And, is sacrifice necessary to gain power from the Mother Goddess?

Hearing Rand's answer, Karin's face twisted.

She rarely made such an undignified expression, but it did sound strange and reasonable.

Karin did not object, but simply said, "Then the cooperation is over."

Karin was ready to jump off the carriage and leave. She really couldn't stand being with Lisa anymore.

And at this moment.

The neighing of war horses was heard beside the carriage.

Rand drew aside the curtain of the carriage.

Took a letter handed over by a messenger.

A letter without any heraldic markings.

There is only one bright gold color, and it is probably hot-coated with real gold content.

Rand knew that this was a letter from the King of the Kingdom of Bolen.

"A letter from the King of the Kingdom of Bolen," Rand introduced. "Saint Karin, would you like to read it?"

Karin, who was about to jump out of the car and leave, returned to her seat.

Generally speaking, as the Saint of the Torch Church, Karin is not qualified to know such private letters.

As soon as I saw it, I knew it was a secret letter.

And why would Rand and the King of Boren exchange letters and verbal battles? But now, with the deepening of cooperation.

There is the Torch Church Novice Sect which is a joint product of the Torch Church Novice Sect and the Abundance Goddess Sect.

The relationship between the two factions will definitely become closer and closer.

In the future, it is possible that the Rand Messenger will also serve as the bishop of the Torch Church.

At least the two sides already have a certain basis of trust.

Rand read to Karin the contents of the letter from the King of the Kingdom of Bollen.

The King of Borun agreed to Rand's request for a ceasefire between the Kingdom of Borun.

Of course, it was just a ceasefire, not a return to peace.

The King of Bollen sternly demanded that Rand not do anything to humiliate the Kingdom of Bollen.

Otherwise, they will face the wrath of the entire Kingdom of Borun.

Compared with the size of the Kingdom of Bolen, Rand is still too small.

Rand must not be able to bear the anger of all the nobles in the Kingdom of Bolen.

But Rand was not afraid at all.

At the end of the letter, the Kingdom of Bolen wrote a paragraph.

The King of Boron agreed to pay a small sum of money if Rand agreed to keep quiet about the battle.

A gem secretly kept in the royal treasury of the Kingdom of Bollen.

According to the King of the Kingdom of Bolun, only the royal family knows about this gem.

The King of the Kingdom of Bolen strictly demanded that Rand not make public the fact that he actually paid war reparations.

That's pretty much the content of the letter.

Lysa and Karin both listened to Rand finish reading.

Karin fiddled with her crown with silver patterns, but it got stuck in her hair.

Then, Karin asked, "So, you sent a threatening letter to the King of Bolen?"

Rand nodded.

There's nothing wrong with a threat, he won't really do it.

Rand was certain that there was no way the Kingdom of Bolen would expand the scale of the war.

This war dragged on for some time due to their inefficiency.

So much so that the City of the Dead is estimated to have been built for the most part.

After that, the undead crisis that is bound to come is probably not far away.

Since the Kingdom of Bolen will definitely not continue to invade in the short term, isn't it just a random threat?

If you are angry, send troops to fight him!

It doesn't matter that the threat failed.

And if you succeed like you are now, then there will be benefits.

Rand looked at Karin: "Can you help draft a reply?"

Karin dug out a pen and paper from the bottom of the car.

Karin worked as a clerk when she was in Xinyueling.

She couldn't see, but as long as she knew the size of the paper, it was easy for her to remember where she had written.

Although Karin was a little puzzled as to why Rand didn't write it himself, she did not refuse.

Karin has extensive experience as a clerk.

Rand's reply was simple, formally stating that he would not provoke again after receiving the compensation.

That’s all.

After helping Rand write his reply.

Karin opened the carriage door.

The warm breeze of late spring filled the car.

Karin turned around and said goodbye, "I have to leave first... If you feel there is any safety problem, come to me early."

Karin lowered her head and seemed to look deeply at Rand: "Anyway, be safe."

Then she left the carriage.

After Karin jumped out of the car, Lisa closed the door.

But the curtains of the carriage were not drawn back.

The warm sun of late spring shone on Rand's face with black hair and black eyes, making him look quite brilliant.

The construction of faith needs to be continuously advanced.

His next job is to breed flying monsters.

The strength of the ox-horse is quite good as a cavalry mount.

But during the Orc War, Rand deeply realized the importance of flying troops.

The air force advantage is simply too great.

Rand returned to Crescent Moon Harbor, but the team of high-level adventurers who had gone out to conduct research on the ruins had not yet returned.

Therefore, Rand could only deal with administrative documents with Lisa in the office first.

Calculating the time, "Project Jiaoyang is almost ready."

Compared with Rand and Ellie, Lysa's administrative style is more holistic.

Therefore, when Lisa is doing well, he often consults Lisa's opinions.

This went on for about two days.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

All the top leaders of the hideout came back.

Rand prepared to take Olenna and set out to find suitable creatures for hybridization.

…

The only place in the world where multiple races are relatively equal is probably in the North.

Humans drove orcs, trolls, beastmen, harpies, and other different humanoid or semi-human intelligent creatures to the cold north where only rye and oats could be grown.

There is no peace between these races.

They often fight each other for the scarce and precious living space in the North.

It was not until the orcs decided to make a deal with Purgatory and invade the south that the various races in the north united and launched a war against the Northern Alliance in order to seize a piece of land for survival.

Then there's Rand.

All races have equal rights to work in Rand.

Except for Rand.

There is still a place in this world where other races can work.

There... is the New Holy City.

The New Holy City is the gathering place of the utilitarian faction of the Torch Church.

To them, the church is a tool for profit.

The new holy city, according to the plan, is a city that is far more majestic and magnificent than the old holy city that has now collapsed.

To demonstrate the strength of the new holy city.

Tell the world.

The New Holy City is the orthodox Torch Church.

And to build the greatest city in the world.

The paladins of the Torch Church enslaved a large number of humans and humanoid creatures.

In the sphere of influence of the New Holy City, all those who are not human nobles and members of the utilitarian faction of the Torch Church will be whipped equally.

Of course, businessmen will be excluded for the time being.

A group of merchants dragged their goods and lined up at the gate of the Torch Church's new holy city.

Wait until you reach the door.

A merchant skillfully took out a few silver coins and stuffed a few into the hands of the city guards who came over to check.

The New Holy City guards immediately frowned and smiled.

After pretending to check the goods, they let them go.

After entering the city, the merchants skillfully found the merchant guild, purchased warehouses, and stored their goods.

Then, it’s time to find a temporary residence.

After entering the inn, merchants and caravan guards gathered together.

After carefully checking the surrounding soundproofing, a blond middle-aged man lowered his voice and asked, "You seem to be very experienced in this kind of thing."

The initial plan was for the Torch Church's newborn believers, who were relatively familiar with the Torch Church's living habits, to help the Mother Goddess' newborns infiltrate.

After all, if you are not familiar with the internal structure of the Torch Church, it would undoubtedly be very difficult to sneak in and do something.

joke!

The people in the den smiled faintly.

Take out a booklet.

The booklet clearly read "On How Cultists Disguise Themselves and Sneak into Towns."

The followers of the Mother Goddess sect said proudly: "This is what Lord Rand personally taught us how to sneak into towns to trade."

Of course, he also paid attention to keeping his voice down at all times.

What they were talking about was a sinister secret plot.

The followers of the Mother Goddess sect looked proud.

He was the original follower of the Mother Goddess sect who followed the Rand Messenger.

At the beginning, they were cultists who were hated by everyone.

If you want to sneak into a town without being discovered, you must undergo rigorous training.

If they made any mistakes in their performance, they might be found and burned to death by the local Torch Church.

They were walking on thin ice until Rand gained a certain status in the Frostmoon Kingdom and eased the relationship with the Torchlight Church's Novices.

There are a lot of bitterness and pain in it.

Hearing this, the Paladin of the Torch Church's nascent sect felt a little embarrassed.

Indeed, if I had met someone from the Mother Goddess sect a few years ago.

He would not hesitate to purge cultists - that is, burn them to death.

In fact, I won’t hesitate too much now.

The paladins of the fledgling sect of the Torch Church are not naive.

In this world, perhaps the Dark Fertility Goddess followers led by Rand are the only good people.

As for the rest.

The crimes committed by other Dark Goddess followers are recorded in the church's files.

Rand is truly a leader that is difficult to understand, yet extremely admirable.

Her Lady Saint often praised this cult envoy highly.

Otherwise, as paladins, they would not come to the New Holy City to carry out missions with the cultists of the Mother Goddess Sect.

After learning that these cultists were very good at sneaking into human towns, the Paladin of the Torch Church's Novice Faction nodded and continued to ask in a low voice: "What should we do next?"

The cultists of the Mother Goddess sect were somewhat excited.

Now, it's finally time to put into use the knowledge you learned so hard.

Lord Rand is very wise, so they are developing very quickly.

After learning how to sneak into human towns as a cultist.

It only takes one or two years to be used.

Then Rand became a local noble of great status in the Frost Moon Kingdom.

The Torch Church, which was originally an enemy, also split.

Later, the Torch Church's newborn sect began to cooperate with them.

I originally thought that I would never have the chance to use this skill again.

Now there is finally a chance.

"First of all, we have to make everything look like a normal caravan." The follower of the Mother Goddess sect said seriously.

"As a caravan, we need to understand the local prices and sell the goods we transport here, and buy some suitable and profitable specialties here."

The novice paladins fully recognized this.

Then he said, “So when do we start reaching out to the local oppressed?”

The followers of the Mother Goddess sect looked at a young blond paladin.

This Paladin comes from the New Holy City.

He was found out by Lord Rand as a traitor.

Skilled in agriculture, and willing to help them in their efforts towards the New Holy City.

The followers of the Mother Goddess sect do not really trust this utilitarian paladin.

But here, this paladin should be the one who is most familiar with the local area.

The paladins of the New Holy City watched these people from the Novice Sect of the Torch Church and the Mother Goddess Sect disguised as merchants and caravan guards.

He knew that many people did not trust him.

But it doesn't matter.

He will prove himself with his actions.

During his insider operation in the Earldom of the Moon Phase, he deeply realized what it means to truly practice the teachings of the Torch Church.

Although the New Holy City appears to be thriving on the surface, it is essentially just a piece of rotten meat.
