Chapter 385: Vanilla's Cry, Rand's Seduction, and the Arrival of the Secret Letter

Rand arrived in front of the Adventurer's Association building.

This green building has undergone several expansions.

It is now a very majestic building.

Rand joined the Adventurer's Guild.

I would never have come across a place like this in my previous life.

It's very lively inside.

Some people come to post tasks, and adventurers come to accept them.

The ruins of Crescent Moon Territory, the Underdark, the haunted iron mine that is no longer haunted, the new ruins on the Specialty Road, and the shallow sea voyage mission of Crescent Moon Harbor.

All of this creates job opportunities for adventurers.

The work and life of the adventurers also bring huge wealth to the resort.

After Rand's arrival, the originally lively Adventurer's Association became quiet.

Everyone paid homage to Count Lander.

And Rand was there, looking around.

The adventurers here are very different from the adventurers in the beginning when the ruins were just being developed.

At that time, the work of adventurers was mostly just to drive away wild beasts, deliver goods for people, deal with powerful and difficult monsters, or do some dirty work.

Sometimes there are opportunities to explore ruins, but the wealth of the ruins will rarely belong to them.

And after Rand arrived.

Give adventurers the opportunity to create more wealth.

Part of it became Rand's wealth, but it still made the adventurers much richer.

At first, the adventurers Rand met were gray and dusty.

Caution mixed with a little greed.

And now, Rand can already see that some female adventurers will generously show off their smooth thighs when they are not adventuring.

Moreover, after their mental state and food improved, Rand felt that the overall appearance of these adventurers also improved.

In short, the viewing experience is much better, and you can see beautiful female adventurers and handsome male adventurers.

Rand submitted a mission to the Adventurer's Guild to capture the magical salamander.

Of course, Rand didn't need to come in person for such a thing, but he came here in person because he wanted to take a look around this time.

Rand still likes the atmosphere of adventurers, but it's a pity that he probably won't have the chance to be an adventurer in this life.

It's decided! Let Olenna wear the Adventurer's outfit tonight.

Olenna was a little surprised that Rand turned around to look at her for no apparent reason, but she didn't ask any further questions.

After Rand left, the Adventurer's Guild became lively again.

Everyone rushed to see the mission posted by Rand.

…

Since the next experiment required trying the magic salamander, Rand did not continue the experiment.

Rand was also very curious about whether dragon blood stone could really be used to extract dragon blood.

Rand returned to his busy affairs, and the first issue he had to deal with now was the distribution of the newly acquired population.

It’s not because there is no place to allocate people, but because people are needed everywhere and the population needs to be allocated reasonably.

The first are infrastructure workers and agricultural workers.

These two places are most short of people now.

It will take about half a year to pave all the brick and stone roads in the Earldom of Moon Phase, which means by the end of this year.

Afterwards, the specialty road will be rebuilt and the dirt road will be converted into a brick and stone road.

These are engineering tasks and require manpower.

And although technology has advanced, brick-making still requires manpower.

As for farming, it has always been the top priority from ancient times to the present.

Agriculture brings food, food brings population, and with people, Rand's power will grow.

Next is Crescent Moon Harbor. The shipyard in Crescent Moon Harbor is in great need of manpower, and the construction of buildings in Crescent Moon Harbor also requires manpower.

The trade and fisheries that Crescent Moon Harbor will inevitably promote will also require a lot of people.

In the past few days, after Rand passed on the news of staff allocation, middle-level managers from all walks of life came to apply for staff.

Now Rand is a border earl with a vast land of 80 square kilometers and a total population of 22,000.

The economy is prosperous, the population is highly mobile, and the economic structure is complex.

It can only be said that if the top leaders of the nest were not all highly intelligent people, and the middle leaders were not all talents who had been trained a long time ago, Rand would definitely be overwhelmed by governing this land now.

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of talents from all sides and the multi-dimensional control of the entire territory through faith, the entire Earldom of the Moon Phase has now become more and more like the promised land of God in the words of missionaries.

The only problem is.

Influenced by Rand.

The forces in the den, from top to bottom, are all very interested in manpower.

When the news of the population distribution spread, the middle-level leaders in charge of local grassroots work all came to ask for people.

He looked quite greedy like Rand when he robbed people from outside.

Now the middle-level managers have explained their reasons for being short of staff and left.

Rand was in the lord's hall, considering with Olenna how to distribute it.

Rand touched Olenna's hand and fell into thought.

At this moment, Vanilla walked into the lord's hall.

Vanilla gradually gained the trust of Rand and the higher-ups in the hideout, and no notification was needed to enter the lord's hall.

Rand withdrew his hand from Olenna's.

After a light cough, he said, "What's the matter?"

"School matters." The beautiful royal elf "slave girl" lowered her head and did not look up at the lord sitting on the giant stone chair.

She has adapted quite well to life in this territory.

But she also became more aware of Rand's terrifying reputation.

The maid elf in the tavern and the alchemist in the alchemy workshop all proved the reliability of the news.

Lord Rand has a perverted personal hobby.

She was afraid of making Rand unhappy and then being hung up and beaten.

"Um..." Vanilla raised her head and looked at Rand a little stiffly, "I heard that there are more people who have not been assigned recently?"

Olenna, who was next to Rand, held her forehead with her hand.

I didn't expect that the elf vanilla, who had not been here for long, had been corrupted by Rand.

Is this the infectious power of God’s messenger?

Rand said helplessly: "They are all ordinary civilians this time. There is no one suitable to be a teacher in a church school."

Vanilla shook her head and said, "That's not it. The church school also needs some permanent maintenance staff. Previously, cleaning and catering, as well as landscaping and building management, all required hiring people outside the school. Now I... I suggest that we arrange some permanent staff."

Rand looked at Vanilla, who was very reserved, and waved his hand, indicating that he understood: "I'll arrange it."

Then Rand signaled Vanilla that she could leave.

But after a while, Vanilla still didn't leave.

Vanilla was still standing there, looking a little conflicted.

"Anything else?" Rand asked again.

Vanilla stammered, "Well, there is also a shortage of teachers and school administrators. Can you recruit some from somewhere else, sir?"

"That lady is unwilling to help you?" Rand was a little confused.

Before, Rand asked Lord Thorn's aunt to help Vanilla, and Lord Thorn's aunt didn't refuse, right?

"She helped me, but the growth rate of our workload... is far faster than the growth rate of our manpower." Vanilla said with a somewhat bitter tone, "Now we have built a new Alchemist College and the Torch Church College, and there are more and more things to do."

Vanilla became more and more sad as she spoke, and in the end it seemed as if her beautiful big eyes were about to shed tears.

Rand asked her to stop talking and said he would solve it as soon as possible.

And the candidate has been chosen, so we can only let Ayesha and Bishop Kahn suffer.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Establishing a school is a rather troublesome matter, but it will bring countless benefits later on, which is definitely worth it.

However, as the school continues to expand, more manpower will definitely be needed.

Rand stroked his chin and looked at Vanilla: "How do you feel about living here?"

Vanilla didn't understand what was going on. When she met Rand's eyes, she was a little afraid that he was going to tie her up and whip her. She took a half step back and whispered, "I, I like it here very much..."

"Then..." Rand smiled seriously, "Do you think the wise elves in the Elf Forest would be willing to come and work here?"

Vanilla looked at Rand in shock. She didn't expect that Rand would have such evil thoughts.

The lower-class life of the elves is no different from that of humans, and these elves will definitely like the life in the Earldom of the Moon Phase.

However, the Elf Forest is too far away from here, and it is too difficult to attract some elves to migrate here, and the cost outweighs the gain.

After all, elves as a whole don’t have a very good reputation in the human kingdom.

But it would be a good deal if we could attract some wise elves to come and work.

In theory, the elven wise men would also like the environment here, with its gradually taking shape schools, a group of enterprising alchemists, and talented wizards.

But the prerequisite is that the wise elves are willing to come here and risk being captured as slaves.

The Elf Forest is a dull and boring place for Vanilla, and Vanilla doesn't like it there.

But Vanilla wasn't sure whether those elven scholars hated that place.

She did not have much contact with those wise scholars. The only ones she had much contact with were those scholars who taught members of the royal family at that time.

But Vanilla didn't know their preferences, but she had a good relationship with those teachers...

But should we send them a letter to invite them to work at the resort? Vanilla looked at Rand in confusion and said awkwardly, "It's unlikely. What are you going to do?"

Vanilla was a little suspicious that the evil Rand was planning to sneak into the Elf Forest to capture a few knowledgeable elves to work for him.

"Can I send a letter invitation?" Rand asked.

Vanilla nodded: "You can write a letter."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Rand said.

Vanilla left the lord's hall. She clearly came here to ask for someone, but now she was writing a letter to invite the elves to come and work.

Vanilla sighed and came to the lord's hall. Her workload increased again.

Rand began to knead Olenna's hand again and thought about the issue of territory governance.

The current imbalance in the gender ratio in the territory also needs to be addressed as soon as possible.

In this way, Rand sat on the huge stone chair in the lord's hall and handled official business for the whole day.

It wasn't until the evening that Elsa appeared in the lord's hall.

"I received a secret letter." Elsa said.

Rand took the secret letter, opened it and checked it.

It is the recent report of the Jiaoyang Project and a request for help...

The purpose of the Prideful Sun Plan was to disgust and intimidate the New Holy City, so as to prevent it from continuing to attack the churches or strongholds of the Torch Church's newborn sect.

But now, it seems that there are many things I can do.

The members of the "Proud Sun Project" contacted the local resistance forces so quickly.

And also received some inheritance.

But did the New Holy City actually place civilians in the sewers? There is a lot of room for manipulation there.

Rand asked Elsa to call Karin, Bishop Kahn, Ellie and Lisa over.

By night, the lord's hall was brightly lit with candles, and the top leaders of the hideout and the new faction were all present.

Rand told the contents of the secret letter to everyone present.

After listening, Karin said, "You plan to support them, right?"

"Yes."

"Bishop Kahn and I share this view," Karin said. "There are still righteous paladins and righteous clergy in the New Holy City. They are our companions and we should not abandon them."

When Karin was at the resort, she dressed as a detective most of the time. In addition to trying to learn Rand's ideas, she also did some work to help others.

But Karin is indeed the undisputed leader, and her voice is powerful when making decisions at this time.

Moreover, Karin and Bishop Kahn's current ideas are basically consistent with Rand's.

This is the basis for cooperation between the two sects.

"Then when we get the population, we'll give you some of it," Rand said, clapping his hands.

Karin was somewhat helpless, as she had not thought about the population when she made the decision, but if the plan succeeded, she would definitely want the people.

"Then let's discuss the plan." Rand looked at everyone. "We need to avoid the same failure as those righteous paladins."

The Paladins' plan failed because of bad luck.

And Rand intended to minimize the impact of luck.

Since they have decided to provide support, the Earldom of the Moon Phase and the Torch Church's newborns will have to pay a heavy price. Rand does not want the plan to fail for any reason.

"What are you going to do?" Karin immediately understood what Rand meant.

Rand's voice became more powerful: "I think the Paladins did too much, and those who were saved did too little."

At best, only Quirrel, whose identity is not certain yet, participated in the planning.

But overall, it was only the "traitors" of the New Holy City who were helping the civilians enslaved by the New Holy City.

Instead of exploring the role of the civilians themselves.

It is true that civilians are thin, weak, and lack fighting skills, but as long as they are used well, they will definitely not be useless.

It would be very difficult for a standard top-level professional to face more than thirty skilled and fully armed veterans at the same time, and he would be injured even if he won.

Civilians naturally will not become experienced veterans, but they must be full of resentment towards the New Holy City.

Just give them weapons...

Thirty armed civilians may not be a match for the top professionals.

But what if there are 100 or 500 people? Rand is very good at using the power of the crowd and believes that the power of the crowd should be used.

Rand believes that if one really desires freedom.

Then the road to freedom should be opened up by the residents of the sewers themselves.
