Chapter 433 Dead people? Dead people have to work too! (5000!)

Two pastors from the village church told Rand about the situation.

But as he was speaking, the pastor of the Novice Sect of the Torch Church discovered something was wrong.

He looked at his companion.

The companion's arm has now returned to normal.

But when reporting to Rand.

Language control seems to be impaired.

Rand first asked the followers of the Mother Goddess Sect to stop talking.

After learning about the situation from the novice pastor of the Torch Church.

Then he looked at the followers of the Mother Goddess Sect and asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"

The followers of the Mother Goddess sect were very excited to see the messenger Rand.

But after seeing Rand's serious expression, he realized that something was wrong.

He looked at his palms and wondered, "Is there something wrong with me?"

Rand still frowned: "You rest in the church tonight, I will help you."

The follower of the Mother Goddess sect was a little excited that Rand, the messenger of God and the Grand Duke of the Moon Phase, would actually take care of him personally, but he was also worried that he might have an incurable disease.

…

The next morning, the believer woke up.

Able to speak normally now.

But it is still obvious that there are mental problems.

Feeling depressed.

Rand ordered Tata to come and lead his guards to continue clearing out the undead everywhere.

And here he was checking on the situation of this believer.

…

Then came the fifth day.

There are signs of improvement.

Rand tried Desire Sharing on this believer, and it worked, but not much.

The village also lost several sheep.

Rand can basically draw a conclusion.

Using the power of the Mother Goddess would cause serious damage to the spirit, but it was not irreversible.

As long as it is not used again, the spirit will slowly recover over time.

Desire sharing can speed up recovery, but the effect is average.

Also, it is still unknown how this believer acquired this ability.

Now, as far as Rand knows, among the followers of the Mother Goddess sect who follow Rand's modified doctrine, only Seth and this follower have tentacle abilities.

Tentacle abilities are theoretically evil abilities.

But if the side effects are limited to this.

Then it can still be regarded as a taboo skill.

At least this believer in front of him didn't seem to be turning evil.

Rand imitated the doctor's method in his previous life, wrote a scribbled but legible note, and handed it to the cultist: "Rest well after you go back, pay attention to your diet, and you will recover slowly. Be careful not to use your tentacle abilities unless it is a life-or-death moment."

Then Rand looked at the members of the Torch Church's Novice Sect and said, "Please do not spread the special abilities of the Mother Goddess Sect at will in the future."

The Torch Church's newborn member nodded.

Then Rand stood up and said to Olenna, who had been guarding him, "Let's go."

Olenna helped Rand pack his clothes, and then the two left the shabby church together.

"What are you going to do?" Olenna asked when they were some distance away from the village.

"Once I understand more, I plan to offer forbidden courses to some believers who are trustworthy enough." Rand said, "At present, it seems that the side effects are much smaller than expected, so transforming the body into tentacles is much better than death."

Rand was wary of the Mother Goddess's power.

After all, the Mother of Black Goats, the Mother of All Things, the Dark Goddess of Fertility, Shub-Niggurath, is always an evil god to humans.

He may not care about anything, but the power he exudes is enough to drive humans crazy.

The world is always full of dangers.

Therefore, Rand still intends to give his believers some ability to struggle when necessary.

These abilities are dangerous, but Rand put himself in their shoes and thought about what it would be like if he had to face a deadly situation where his relatives, friends, and himself were all going to die.

So the side effects discovered so far are really insignificant.

However, as a leader, Rand knew very well that he had to figure out more and be cautious.

Rand plans to discuss the matter with Karin and Bishop Kahn.

…

Rand returned to the Lord's Hall of Crescent Moon Territory.

Elsa and Karin were already waiting.

There is also an acquaintance and a cook.

"Case solved?" Rand asked.

Elsa nodded and pointed at Zorn and the chef: "It's about these two."

Rand looked at Zorn in confusion, wondering why he was still involved.

"Tell me." Rand looked at Zorn and the chef seriously.

Zorn and the chef were also a little confused.

What they did actually caused Grand Duke Land to personally intervene.

But looking at Rand's serious expression, it was obvious that the matter did not seem to be a small matter.

The two people told the truth what happened.

Rand could no longer maintain his serious expression.

One dares to think, the other dares to do.

The chef went to a military player for strategy, and Zorn actually gave him some advice.

The compensation they agreed upon was actually a permanent VIP dining voucher.

There is a kind of national general who, just for some meal money, launched a heavy attack on roadside restaurants, using every possible means.

"In short, your actions are judged to be malicious competition," Rand pronounced.

There is no such law in holiday resorts yet, but there will be in the future.

In the Lunar Duchy, Rand's will is law.

"You." Rand looked at the chef. "Close the business for two months and work on your cooking skills. Don't do anything crooked."

"Zorn." Rand looked at Zorn again, "I asked the chef you guys tricked to prepare the ultimate set meal for you. Eat it well and don't waste it."

After saying that, Rand waved his hand, indicating that the two men could leave.

The emergence of this situation now also serves as a wake-up call to Rand.

That is, with the development of the Rand territory, the "cake" will gradually become bigger, and vicious competition will occur. This kind of thing is really possible.

Legislation is needed to prohibit it.

It is estimated that many problems will arise in the future.

Rand was just a college student in his previous life. It was impossible for him to be all-encompassing and think of all possible social problems.

The only thing we can do is to strengthen patrols.

There is no need to set up a special post for this. It is only necessary to require the believers and staff in the den to report any strange things they encounter while they are on vacation or experiencing life.

Although Rand could not predict all social problems in advance, as a person born in the era of information explosion, he could probably understand the situation by seeing some clues of the problems.

This will just increase Rand's workload.

This is a bit troublesome, but it does need to be prevented.

And that is, Rand has great power.

At least in the Duchy of the Moon, the legitimacy of the law is not as good as the legitimacy of the Rand Will.

As long as he could detect it in time, Rand could use his authority to deal with the problem.

Rand's privilege is very large in this land.

"Oleanna, help me draft a plan," Rand said.

Olenna produced a quill and ink, and parchment.

Rand touched his chin, feeling that the current parchment consumption in the hideout was very high.

Although most middle and lower-level officials could only use wooden boards or linen paper, Rand's own expenses were indeed not small.

I heard there are bamboos in the south, so I’m going to try to pick some to make paper.

After Rand's dictation, Olena wrote out the draft of the "Observation and Experience Regulations".

Elsa watched from the side, and Karin waited nearby.

Similar scenes like this have happened many times.

When faced with a problem, Grand Duke Rand can always see what is happening in advance and then come up with a strategy.

It is under such strategies that the forces of the den have become a very prominent group in the Frost Moon Kingdom.

This also made the higher-ups in the den and Karin admire him even more.

Obviously, Rand's wisdom does not come from the "gift from God" as many believers and soldiers below believe.

Just keep observing, summarizing, and then thinking.

And Rand relied on this to rise from an unknown person to become the Grand Duke of the Moon Phase.

This is of course due to Rand's shameless means and shameless abilities.

But Rand's own abilities also account for a very large proportion.

Rand's decisions may not always be correct, but he can always find problems in time and correct them.

Wait until Olenna finishes writing the draft.

Rand looked at Karin and said seriously, "I have something to discuss with you and Bishop Kahn."

Karin looked at Rand suspiciously: "Are they catching another gourmet criminal? Or a thief who will pay?"

"Ahem." Elsa, who was standing next to Karin, coughed lightly, signaling Karin to stop talking nonsense.

"It's really a serious matter." Rand said helplessly.

"Then come with me." Karin took Rand to the Torch Church chapel.

At this time, Bishop Kahn had just changed into his casual clothes and was planning to go to Crescent Territory to support local work.

Seeing Rand coming, Bishop Kahn had no choice but to receive Rand.

"What's going on?" asked Bishop Kahn.

Rand informed Karin and Bishop Kahn of the current situation of the Mother Goddess Sect.

Now that the cooperation between the Mother Goddess Sect and the Torch Church Novice Sect has deepened, Rand will not choose to make a decision on this issue without discussing it.

Just like Karin and Bishop Kahn, they would also invite Rand to discuss any major decisions.

One of the two parties is a splinter group, and the other is a cult. It is actually very difficult for them to cooperate, so they need to communicate more to avoid misunderstandings.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Rand didn't want the trust between the Mother Goddess Sect and the Torch Church's fledgling sect to be broken, so he was very cautious.

Bishop Kahn frowned: "Are you sure there is nothing wrong with his personality?"

"I have observed him for a while, and I have even assigned someone to keep an eye on him," Rand said. "I personally haven't found any personality problems."

"It's incredible," said Bishop Kahn.

Bishop Kahn discussed with Karin for a while.

Then Bishop Kahn spoke.

"I have lived for a long time." Bishop Kahn recalled, "I have dealt with countless cult incidents. Even originally kind people will become twisted after using evil power deeply. Pay more attention. If the side effects are really limited to this, then you can give it a try."

"Of course, we need to fully understand all the procedures." Karin said seriously.

"I hope you understand us." Karin continued, "We have seen too many tragedies in many things, and our cooperation itself is... at least for us, it is very unconventional. Many of us do not believe that our cooperation can succeed."

Rand said this was very reasonable. When he was making the flying cow and horse, it was Karin who supervised him and Karin also gave him suggestions.

Karin added: "However, although many people do not believe it, Bishop Kahn and I believe that our cooperation will be successful."

"Okay, I'll tell you more about this matter once I understand it a little better." After saying that, Rand left the Torch Church chapel.

Now the trust between Rand personally, Karin personally, and Bishop Kahn personally is actually very solid.

Both sides know each other and what kind of people they are.

However, the cooperation between the Mother Goddess Sect and the Torch Church's Nascent Sect is still in its early stages and requires continuous efforts.

In the future, Karin might even be crowned as the Saint of the Mother Goddess Sect, holding the title of double saint.

…

Rand walked from the road of the holiday villa to the upper hideout.

I spotted some familiar-looking guards on the road.

That female strongman.

The Resurrected.

Ruby.

Rand came to Ruby and asked, "How do you feel about life here?"

Ruby nodded: "Great Rand Messenger, I am living well here."

Rand stroked his chin.

“Is the work hard?”

“…”

Rand asked no more questions.

It’s normal to work hard!

"What do you do for fun after get off work?"

"For a bath, I bought a bathtub." Ruby replied, "Also, I will buy some beautiful clothes and some decorations to decorate my house."

Theoretically, the undead have no sense of touch or taste, so they cannot taste delicious food or feel temperature.

"Can you feel the temperature when you take a shower?" Rand asked doubtfully.

"No, Lord Messenger, but I like my bones and insides to be clean," Ruby replied.

Rand nodded. This was truly a hobby that only the undead could have.

Rand took a few more steps and asked Ruby's superior.

Ruby works very hard and seems to be really accepting life in the den.

Rand was pleased with this.

Then let's look at another person, geologist Lee Ensencate.

Rand met Lee Ensenket in the alchemy workshop, where he was studying ore.

The great alchemist Ayesha is also here.

Rand looked at Ayesha and said, "You're not in the perfume shop."

Ayesha put down the alchemical reagent in her hand and rolled her eyes in a charming way: "Oh, my lord, you really misunderstood me. I love working."

Rand didn't care about Ayesha's tone and asked, "How about the geologist?"

Ayesha moved closer.

Olena at the side immediately put her hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist.

Ayesha glanced at Olena helplessly and leaned over: "Secretary, you are worried that I will..."

Ayesha glanced imperceptibly at Olenna's chest, then at her own.

Olenna actually has a pretty good figure, but it's still inferior to the majestic Ayesha.

Rand was now somewhat helpless, and coughed lightly, "Ayesha, don't be like this."

Ayesha curled her lips again inconspicuously: "Okay, my lord."

It seems that Ayesha has been working a lot recently and is indeed very resentful.

Olena didn't care about Ayesha's provocation.

She wasn't worried that Ayesha would hurt Rand, it was just a conditioned reflex.

After all, there is something to worry about here - the undead.

Ayesha leaned close to Rand's ear again and whispered, "What kind of undead is this? It's actually really good at identifying minerals and has good alchemy skills as well."

Of course, Rand did not hide from Ayesha the fact that the geologist was undead.

"He is indeed somewhat special." Rand said helplessly, "How is his work ability?"

"Excellent work ability," Ayesha commented.

"However." Ayesha still leaned close to Rand's ear, "Lord Rand, I have no intention of commenting on your actions, but I don't think the undead can be trusted."

Hearing Ayesha's reminder, Rand nodded: "Of course, I will pay close attention."

Of course, Rand would not be angry because of Ayesha's reminder. Ayesha reminded herself, which showed that she really regarded herself as part of the power of the den.

Ayesha nodded. She still believed in Rand's sense of propriety.

Rand went over and asked about Lee Ensenket's daily life.

The answer was: "Work, and grow some plants."

Lee Ensenkat likes flowers and plants, which is a good hobby.

And it seems quite stable.

Rand nodded with satisfaction and left the alchemy workshop.

It seems that the undead also like the work in the den! ...

At the same time, a meeting of the White Kingdom was held.

There wasn't much discussion.

After the White King proposed it, the ministers of the White Kingdom quickly agreed to relax the blockade of the Wisteria Kingdom to a certain extent.

All the northern countries deeply hated this country that betrayed the alliance.

As for why he doesn't hate the Principality of Cuiying.

That is naturally because the Principality of Cuiying has been destroyed.

But now, the most important thing for the Northern Alliance is to reap the immediate benefits.

That is the Principality of Cuiying.

If we oppress the Wisteria Kingdom too much now, it will indeed be easy for something to go wrong.

Of course, all the countries in the Northern Alliance were on guard against a backstab from the Wisteria Kingdom. The Wisteria Kingdom had already betrayed humanity once, so it wouldn't be surprising if it did so a second time.

But what if the Wisteria Kingdom really sends troops to attack any of the allied countries.

At least for now, it is still difficult to deal with.

The White King sent letters to all the countries in the Northern Alliance.

All countries have recently responded, agreeing to give the Wisteria Kingdom some breathing space.

Of course, someone in the Wisteria Kingdom will see clearly that this is just a delaying tactic of the Northern Alliance.

However, as long as it is not forced into a dead end, the probability that the Wisteria Kingdom will make up its mind to send troops to become a complete enemy of the Northern Alliance is still very low.

This delaying tactic is to give the Wisteria Kingdom a chance to catch its breath.

It's like holding a person under water, letting them take a breath, and then holding them down again.

Moreover, if a country has smart people, there will definitely be stupid people.

Since the Wisteria Kingdom had done something like backstabbing the alliance before, it means that this country is definitely not dominated by smart people.

Maybe they think that the other countries in the Northern Alliance will really forgive them?

After all, now we give them some breathing space, don't we?

…

And in the south.

Rand received the beast-eared man sent to him by the White King.
