Chapter 430 Two Resurrectees, the White King and Northern Trivia (5400!!!)

The end of summer of the seventh year since coming into this world.

Two months have passed since we went to the first line of defense of the Kingdom of Borun and attacked the obsidian tower that the undead tried to build.

There is a half-block of obsidian tower in a hidden place in the back mountain of the hideout.

This is also where the bone dragon is located.

Thanks to this obsidian tower.

This twisted creature awakened by the call of the Scourge Apostle did not exist for only half a day like the previous bone snake before it died.

Anyway, when Rand went to see it, there was no sign of weakness.

But Rand still hasn't figured out how to use this half-broken obsidian tower.

The bone dragon seemed to be able to use it, but its intelligence was incomplete, and Rand could not communicate with it.

Rand studied it for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he put it aside for the time being.

I'll try again later if I can catch some undead technicians.

The half-broken obsidian tower is not very tall.

But it's very wide.

This can be considered the lair of the bone dragon.

Unfortunately, Rand won't have many opportunities to use it.

As a human lord, he was quite unique in using centaurs and minotaurs.

Already walking on the edge of humanity.

And once Rand uses bone dragons on a large scale, he may be immediately kicked out of the ranks of human lords.

It can only be used secretly, and at other times, it can only be used to guard the territory.

I just hope that the day never comes when we have to fight a battle to defend a holiday villa.

But it can also have other effects.

For example, let the three-headed skull dragon clean up some enemies that are not visible to outsiders.

Or you can let the three-headed skull dragon fight the cultists.

In short, there is a new hidden area in Rand's lair: the ruins of the Bone Dragon Tower.

Rand returned to the upper hideout from the ruins of the Bone Dragon Tower.

Sit on the giant stone lord's chair in the lord's hall.

Rand opened the recent report.

The attendance fees promised by the Kingdom of Bolen and the Kingdom of Lensa to Rand have been paid in full without any shortage.

The ships and shipbuilders that the Kingdom of Bollen promised to Rand have also been delivered.

As for the operation to destroy the Obsidian Tower, the first line of defense of the Kingdom of Borun.

The conclusion of the action was inexplicably accomplished.

The warriors traveled long distances and overcame all obstacles.

After defeating a powerful enemy, the half-built obsidian tower was destroyed.

Although it wasn't the warriors who destroyed the Obsidian Tower.

There may be infighting among the undead.

This is everyone’s conclusion.

But no matter what, the Scourge Bishops on the first line of defense were all dead.

There was confusion in the command of the undead army.

Many irrational undead no longer gather at the first line of defense.

It began to spread to the Kingdom of Bolun, the Kingdom of Lensa, and the Dukedom of the Moon Phase.

These spreading undead souls have brought considerable trouble to the nearby countries, but it is better than gathering together.

Much better.

The Kingdom of Borun and the Kingdom of Lensa also seized the opportunity and recaptured the Kingdom of Borun's No. 1 defense line in one fell swoop.

Now, the Bolen Kingdom's No. 1 defense line is under repair.

Rand tentatively asked whether they should form a coalition to march to the City of the Dead.

But it was rejected by the Kingdom of Bolon and the Kingdom of Lensa.

Rand could only stop talking about it.

After all, there is a lack of trust basis.

If no one cooperates in the expedition, it will be impossible for Rand's current forces to destroy the City of the Dead.

Moreover, Rand's territory has been in quite a bit of trouble recently.

It’s the problem of the undead entering the territory.

And more than one batch.

Except for the undead who entered the Dukedom of the Moon Phase at the beginning due to loss of command.

Later, some powerful and intelligent undead entered Rand's territory after the collapse of the Bolen Kingdom's No. 1 defense line.

These undead have had a significant impact on Rand's governance.

Even his core territories suffered losses, not to mention the non-core territories.

Rand didn't know whether the Kingdoms of Bollen and Lensa, which were also affected by this, felt it was troublesome.

Anyway, he has a headache.

Rand's current plan is to issue a large number of adventurer missions and let the adventurers handle a batch of them.

Then the top leaders and the army in the hideout dealt with a group of people.

Now these undead souls are like water without a source, they can be dealt with sooner or later, I just hope that the losses can be smaller before they are dealt with.

Just as Rand was thinking about how to deal with the undead.

Elsa appeared in the Lord's Hall.

"Something's going on." Elsa knelt on one knee and said like a true spy.

"Speak." Rand also put on the cold and arrogant attitude of a lord.

Then Rand and Elsa were both tapped on the forehead by Olenna, who was standing beside them: "Speak seriously."

Elsa covered her mouth and laughed, then returned to her seriousness: "Two special undead appeared in the territory."

"Especially?" Rand leaned forward.

Elsa nodded: "It is very special, otherwise I would have killed it easily. Anyway, you will know when you see it."

Then Elsa tapped her toes and disappeared, bringing two strange people with her.

Appears in the Lord's Hall.

Two dead souls with their own selves.

It is not particularly rare for undead to have their own selves.

The Scourge has many such undead.

But now in front of Rand.

Much more special.

Apart from the obvious wounds and cold bodies, these two undead ghosts look no different from humans.

"Can you talk?" Rand asked.

The two "undead" nodded.

Rand asked about their origins.

Got a vague answer.

They only know their own names and have no more memories of the past.

Rand had no choice but to observe them.

One of them looks like a muscular man, but is actually a girl. Her name is Ruby and her personality also seems to be that of a girl.

A bit weird.

The other one was called Lee Ensenket. Many badges could be found inside his clothes, representing the Geologists' Association, the Mathematicians' Association, and the Alchemists' Association. He looked very sloppy.

The undead are generally sloppy, but as a undead, Lee Ensenket is also one of the sloppy ones.

It looked like the wounds on the two men were caused by swords, but the swords were very blunt, so it was likely that the damage was caused by the undead.

These two people were supposed to have died at the hands of the undead that were wreaking havoc in the territory.

Then resurrected by the evil force of death.

The cause is unknown.

Rand stroked his chin and asked a lot more questions.

Since there is no more memory, not much can be asked, but Lee Ensenket seems to have mastered a lot of knowledge, as if it is instinct.

And Ruby, Ruby must be really good at fighting.

Moreover, these two people seemed to believe in the Mother Goddess sect during their lifetime.

"Have someone make them up so they don't look like dead people, and then assign them jobs," Rand said to Elsa.

Seeing that he couldn't get any more information out of him, Rand didn't bother himself any more.

Anyway, if it looks like it can do the job, just do the work and observe at the same time.

Ruby can serve as a city guard, and if Lee Ensenket is really a geologist, he can be asked to explore the geological conditions near the hideout.

In short, they are all useful talents.

The undead cannot survive for long if they do not receive the power of death, but at the moment, it seems that these two special undead show no signs of weakening.

First, let’s see if there are any problems with these two people. For example, it would be bad if they are spies sent by the undead.

If there is no problem after observation, you can take them to the ruins of the Obsidian Tower to see if you can supply them with the power of death.

As for the reason for their resurrection, Rand planned to ask Karin.

Karin has been acting like a coward for a long time since returning to the hideout.

She probably still feels ashamed to face others because of her own humiliation.

After Elsa took the two undead away, Rand continued his work.

First, let Secretary Olenna draft a plan to deal with the undead.

After that, Rand gave suggestions and Olenna made revisions.

This will basically finalize the plan.

Next comes processing of correspondence.

A letter with a frosty scent.

It was a letter from the White King, Bolan.

It has been a long time since Rand and the White King Borlan last went to marry Ellie and led the White Kingdom's army to fight against the orcs.

Calculating the time, it should be more than a year and a half.

Rand and the White King did exchange letters from time to time.

But it's not very frequent.

Rand has a good relationship with Miss Bolan, the White King.

But both of them are very busy.

Correspondence is often a mixture of public and private matters.

Rand scanned the letter.

There are many references to the North: the coalition forces successfully looted a lot of treasures from the Principality of Green Shadow.

Unfortunately, there is no more food and people.

Among these treasures, those belonging to the Frost Moon Kingdom will have Rand's share.

Rand is still looking forward to it.

The coalition forces are constantly trying to retake the Principality of Cuiying.

The Principality of Green Shadow is now an illegal country. As long as the orcs of the Principality of Green Shadow can be driven out, so much land will be enough for the northern countries to live comfortably.

This is also the reason why the coalition forces can maintain cohesion.

As a king, the White King is much more powerful than the King of the Kingdom of Bolun.

Not only is he the "king", the White King's personal strength is also ridiculously strong.

Also because the White King's diplomatic and governing abilities are also quite outstanding.

When the White King and Ellie's parents died early and the White King just ascended the throne, the White Kingdom was in chaos.

When Rand first met Ellie, the White King had already governed the White Kingdom in order.

But without Rand, the White King might not be able to deal with the Ice Phoenix - Aslan Travis.

The White Kingdom will be destroyed when it is attacked by the hellish orcs, the ice phoenix, and the undead.

The White King is also good at discovering common interests.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Just like the current coalition forces.

If the king of the Kingdom of Bolen came instead, he probably wouldn't be able to get so many northern countries to form an alliance and attack the Principality of Cuiying.

This is certainly partly because the Northern Alliance has always had a tradition of fighting against orcs together.

But there are many other reasons, too. The White King coordinated the overall situation and promised the distribution of benefits in advance.

The land and wealth of the Principality of Cuiying are the cohesive force of the Northern Alliance.

In the letter, the White King gave a detailed introduction to the current progress of the coalition forces' attack on the Principality of Green Shadow.

Now the coalition has contained the orcs to a large extent.

The orcs can only defend the large cities of the Green Shadow Principality.

They were besieged by the coalition forces.

But the coalition forces did not dare to attack the city, as there were many orc wolf cavalry, infantry, wyverns and harpies in the wild.

If you are attacked by wild orc cavalry and flying troops during the siege.

The situation will be troublesome.

Even if you don't worry about being ambushed.

There will also be many problems.

Not all orcs were transformed into infernal orcs at once.

The last wave of hellish orcs had already been almost destroyed in the White Country War and the Takagi Kingdom Landing Battle after breaking through the defense line.

But there are still many orcs who have not been hellish.

The orcs knew it well.

There won't be many good results from purgatory.

But if humans push too hard, many orcs will choose to become hellish at any time.

It will be very troublesome by then, and even if we can win, we will suffer heavy losses.

Finally, the Hell Demons that provide the orcs with the ability to transform into hell have been eyeing them covetously.

There's trouble everywhere.

But after all, ever since the battle with the White Country, the humans of the Northern Alliance have generally had a slight advantage.

At least for the orcs of the Green Shadow Principality, they have an advantage.

The orcs of the Green Shadow Principality are now trapped in the big city, and they probably don’t have much food left.

Soon, the orcs must make a choice.

After the matter was said.

There are also some judgments and future plans of the White King.

The White King said that since Rand has opened the port, they can try to open a route to the White Kingdom.

With the development of both sides, the specialty road is no longer particularly sufficient.

Moreover, taking the route for specialties is definitely not as fast as taking the water route.

After that, it’s some homely dishes.

The White King said that her army had captured some beast-eared people. Since she had long known that Rand seemed to be quite interested in beast-eared people, she said in the letter that she would arrange for someone to send some beast-eared people to the holiday resort to serve Rand.

Then he talked about some life stuff.

At the end of the letter, there are some ink marks, which seem to be caused by the author's hesitation as to whether to continue writing.

The White King invites Rand and Ellie to travel to the White Kingdom.

The White King said that as a king, she usually dominates the politics of the entire country and her work is very hard.

And because of my status, there was no one to chat with.

Rand had also gone so far as to take her sister away from him.

The White King said that she missed her sister very much and hoped that Ellie and Rand could come to the White Kingdom to accompany her.

Rand scratched his head.

Seeing that Olenna had already written the political orders to deal with the undead, he borrowed the feather pen from Olenna, took the brand new letter paper handed to him by Olenna, and wrote a reply.

Rand's handwriting has never been very good, but after years of practice, it is no longer crooked.

Now it looks barely neat.

Rand wrote back on the letter.

Rand said that after dealing with the undead problem in the territory, if there are no major changes, he will take Ellie to visit his relatives in the White Kingdom this winter.

In Rand's impression, the White King has always been a calm, generous, and powerful person.

After Olenna and Ellie made their choice, the White King confirmed that Rand was not a liar and let him go generously without any embarrassment.

The White King is powerful in both martial arts and heart, and has charisma.

The citizens of the White Country all love her and are willing to sacrifice their lives for her.

The noble ladies of the White Kingdom all dream of being chosen by the White King and becoming his wife.

Unfortunately, only Ellie and Rand knew that the King of the White Kingdom, Bolan, was a woman.

The White King is extremely handsome, but who in the White Kingdom would dare to doubt that the great White King they serve is a woman dressed as a man, and not a real man?

Even if there were suspicions, no one would dare to try to expose the White King through some action.

But obviously, his high status makes the White King seem lonely.

The White King is a typical loner.

The previous king of the Frost Moon Kingdom had a friend named Marcus.

But the White King's only friend... probably is Rand.

And Rand, Rand actually wanted to meet the White King.

Of course, Rand also regarded the White King as a close person.

We haven't seen each other for such a long time, and I miss you a lot.

And presumably, Ellie also missed the White King very much, as the White King was Ellie's only blood relative.

After writing the reply, Rand left his seat in the lord's hall, thinking that all the affairs for the day were dealt with.

Rand and Olenna walked out of the Lord's Hall together.

It is almost time to get off work in the upper den.

Many staff members of the dens began to go to the holiday villa together.

Some go to the restaurant area for dining.

Some go home to cook.

Rand has ordered dinner tonight. His dinner was recommended to him by a restaurant chef who volunteered to do so.

The chef said that every time he launches a dish recently, there are many different people waiting to try it and make their comments.

He has repeatedly honed his cooking skills and created the ultimate gourmet food that received the highest ratings from food tasters.

The chef had long heard of Rand's attainments in food, and now he had made the ultimate delicacy, intending to let the great king of food, Rand, taste it.

Rand was also very interested in this.

Rand certainly loves good food.

When he first came into this world, the alcohol-smelling bread and the smelly meat were still fresh in his memory.

Rand came to the dining area reserved for lords.

In fact, it is just a small house built along the corridor next to the lord's hall.

And the chef is already waiting here.

The decoration here is quite suitable for Rand's status. Of course, compared with other grand dukes' private restaurants, it is definitely simple.

In fact, Rand does not particularly advocate frugality. Rand believes that appropriate consumption and letting wealth flow are the best.

But Rand had no experience in extravagance.

He still can't think of too many extravagant solutions.

Ellie is relatively knowledgeable, but she is not too familiar with how to be extravagant.

Of course, both husband and wife are against wasting food.

Unless in some local cultures, servants can only eat what the lords have left over, Rand and the higher-ups in the den will not waste food.

Therefore, the decoration of this small restaurant can only be said to be barely worthy of Rand's status.

"Please." Rand smiled.

The chef was wearing the chef uniform designed by Rand and Ellie, and he stood straight.

At Rand's dining table, the lid was opened.

Since this was his tasting moment as the king of gourmet food, Olena was the only one with him among the top executives of the den.

Olena wanted to check the safety of the food.

But Rand said that this place was only a few steps away from the seats in the lord's hall, and there was no way he could be poisoned.

Rand also didn't think the food was poisonous.

At least it looks delicious.

It's a pie that looks a bit like the pizza from Rand's past life.

Rand put on his napkin gracefully, then picked up the knife and expertly cut out a small piece of pie.

Pick it up with a silver fork and put it in your mouth.

Then Rand's eyes widened.

Rand swallowed the suspected food in his mouth.

Looking at the chef in front of him: "Have you tasted it yourself?"

The chef felt that the atmosphere was not right: "Of course, sir, but I trust the judgment of my diners more."

The chef has a keen sense of taste and can accurately judge changes in taste, but after tasting for a long time and distinguishing the types of ingredients, he has lost some of his ability to judge whether something is delicious or not.

There have been several times when his works, which he thought were perfect, were criticized as not tasty.

The chef believes that his judgment of the deliciousness of food deviates from that of ordinary people, so he is more accustomed to launching tasting sessions and consulting diners' opinions.

But looking at Rand's red face...

He seemed to have messed up.

Rand put down his knife.

He said in a deep voice: "Finish your meal by yourself, don't waste food."

Rand stood up.

"Come to the Lord's Hall after dinner. I have something to ask you."
