Chapter 435 Arrival at the White Country, See You Again (6000!!!)

By the end of the fall, Rand had pretty much done with his affairs.

The rest can be left to Bishop Kahn and the Crimson King.

Rand has to make some preparations to go to the White Kingdom.

I hope there won't be any trouble in the territory during this period.

In theory, there shouldn't be too much trouble.

The materials for vibration communication devices are very scarce, but several important border castles now still store vibration communication devices.

As the upper level hideout of the administrative center, they can react quickly if something happens.

When the time comes, just let Taner mobilize the troops.

The old generals in the hideout are Tanr and Fenris.

The new generals include Tata and Serai.

Rand believed in their abilities.

And that is, we should be in a period of political stability now.

The new king of the Frost Moon Kingdom had just been enthroned and there was a lot of work to be done, but there was no sign of conflict between the two factions in politics, at least not on the surface.

The losses of the Kingdom of Bolun and the Kingdom of Lensa should not be too small, and the troubles in the City of the Dead have not been resolved yet.

They shouldn't turn around and fight against the Frost Moon Kingdom.

As for the City of the Dead, Rand has taken many precautions against evil, and there are Karin and the corpse dragon in the territory, so nothing should go wrong.

Overall, this winter is indeed a good time to visit relatives in the White Country.

And Rand has already set out.

Now the waterway has basically been opened up and the trial voyage was successful.

But the North is not very peaceful.

Rand took all the guards with him.

Therefore, it is not easy to take a boat.

The guards on the ship could not exert much force.

At most, only the Flying Oxen Horse Knights can give full play to their abilities.

This was a pity for Rand, as he had never traveled on a ship before.

Let's wait and see the situation when we go back. If the situation stabilizes, we will try taking a boat again.

So now Rand sat in the carriage.

"Do you think I'll encounter an assassination attempt when I go to the North this time?" Rand leaned on the cushion of the carriage.

The cushions are velvet.

Next to her was Olenna, and across from her was Ellie.

It can be said that she is surrounded by people on both sides.

Now Rand is also an evil lord.

Although Rand is beloved, he is not old.

Ellie smiled slightly, then said, "Probably not. We've brought all the guards with us this time. No one would dare to offend such a team on the road."

Indeed, Rand has experienced quite a few assassination attempts, but these assassinations did not pose much threat to Rand.

The most serious incident was probably the revenge of the King of Bolen on Rand after he killed Prince Alex.

If it weren't for the help of the strong men from the Frost Moon Kingdom, Rand might have been in big trouble.

As for now.

Rand's guards are a total of 208 super elite heavy cavalry.

It consists of one hundred ox-horse knights, two teams of the White King's guards, and a team of paladins.

Just by looking at him, you can tell he's not someone you're going to mess with.

To be precise, for the vast majority of small and medium-sized nobles, these troops were already a catastrophic disaster.

For a noble of the earl's rank, it would inevitably be a very stressful situation.

Crow Coke soared across the sky.

Crow Cola has grown a lot recently and has now become the size of a medium to large falcon.

Rand also felt that in theory, no one would dare to challenge him, but he had encountered people with "extraordinary courage" on the King's Road before.

I don’t know if it will happen this time.

But there is definitely no need to worry too much.

Rand took out a photo stone from the box under the carriage seat.

A promotional video for the holiday villa was filmed inside.

Rand planned to go to the White Kingdom and show it to the White King.

Unfortunately, the technology of recording stones has not yet made a breakthrough. Although there is sound now, it cannot be copied or edited.

The price is still very expensive.

I hope Ayesha can overcome this difficulty as soon as possible.

By then, the promotional video will undergo an epic upgrade.

Because at that time, Rand could try making film and television works.

Film and television works can not only be used for propaganda, but also for entertainment and the spread of ideas.

At that time, Rand can use film and television works to further whitewash his Mother Goddess sect, and also promote the Torch Church's nascent sect.

However, film and television works must conform to the current era, so we will have to think about it when the time comes.

Ellie also took out a few photo stones.

Said: "This is a specialized version."

Rand looked at Ellie: "What do you mean?"

Ellie has always been a very talented person, otherwise in the original history of "Deep Moon", Ellie would not have been the protagonist and would have restored the destroyed White Kingdom.

"It's the food special, the clothing special, and the housing special," said Ellie.

Ellie arched her eyebrows and said teasingly, "While you were enjoying the female beast-eared meal, Olenna and I discussed it and felt that specialized sexual propaganda would be more effective."

Rand picked up the photo stone from Ellie's hand. It was a special edition that Ellie asked someone to shoot. The content was indeed more specialized and vivid than Rand's general edition.

The two complement each other.

As for who the "person" doing the work is, it is of course Vanilla.

"Well done, Duchess Ellie. You really help your husband share his worries." Rand praised.

Ellie rolled her eyes and said, "Come on, great Duke Lander, please stop making fun of me."

After that, nothing happened in the carriage.

It's not completely absent.

Ellie and Olenna had found an opportunity to make a lot of clothes for Rand.

This is a formal visit to my parents, so I can't be shabby.

Although the area of ​​Rand's territory has not increased much, at most he has completely included the Burning Land in his territory.

But the reputation has been raised to a higher level.

From the Count of the Moon Phase, he became the Grand Duke of the Moon Phase.

An earl was already a great noble, but a country often had more than a dozen earls.

Of course, if the earl status in some countries is smaller, there are also countries with more earls.

The earldom standards are not unified in all countries.

The standards for barons are also different.

In some countries, the terms viscount and marquis do not yet exist.

And not all countries have dukes.

Even if there are dukes, most of them are cousins ​​of the king, and people like Rand are rare.

Rand's status is already quite prominent.

Although he is still lower than Prince Ellie, he is not unworthy of such a statement.

And what's more, Rand himself now has a very high reputation in the White Kingdom.

Because apart from his appearance, everything else about Rand is in line with the aesthetics of the White Kingdom.

He has strong personal strength, excellent military ability, and can kill orcs.

It’s just that Rand himself is not a big and strong man, which is a pity for the people of the White Country.

But isn’t White King Bolan also a handsome type?

Nowadays, the aesthetic standards of the White Country are not so demanding of a man who can run a horse on his arms.

Ellie and Olenna gave Rand a change of clothes.

The most common clothes Rand wears are old farmer's clothes, because he has to work on the farm and on the construction site. The second most common clothes he wears are lab coats, because he needs to research evil technology.

This kind of fancy clothes is rarely worn.

I only wear it when there are major events.

For example, a wedding, or the coronation ceremony of King Marcus.

"Well, I think I'm still pretty handsome." Rand said with a smile.

Ellie and Olenna had no choice but to express their approval: "Yes, yes, yes! Your Excellency Duke Lander, your handsomeness and bravery are well known to everyone."

In fact, Rand's appearance can only be considered ordinary.

Maybe with the added bonus of temperament, he will look quite handsome.

But Ellie and Olenna, of course, thought Rand was handsome.

It’s just… preference.

…

There was indeed no danger along the way, as the specialty road was consciously maintained by the noble lords along the way.

The noble lords have realized the importance of this road, and have all begun to take the initiative to maintain road security.

Some nobles even sent out troops on patrol.

To prevent the caravans from being robbed by bandits.

Therefore, the public security on the Specialty Road is very good.

It's a bit crowded now.

Therefore, Rand sometimes encounters traffic jams.

Of course, when encountering such a situation, the nobles and caravans on the road would take the initiative to give way to Rand after seeing the flag of the Nicholas family flying on the convoy.

But this also made Rand feel that this specialty road needed to be broadened.

I just wonder if the commuting pressure here will be reduced after the Specialty Products Route is opened.

A few days into the winter, Rand arrived at the royal city of the White Kingdom.

The winter in the White Kingdom is colder than the winter in the Frost Moon Kingdom.

The White Kingdom's capital is also more rugged than the Frost Moon Kingdom's capital.

If the royal city of the Frost Moon Kingdom is the color of cold steel, then the royal city of the White Kingdom is the rough and grayish color of stone.

The royal city of the White Kingdom is not without exquisite buildings, but its overall style reflects the national characteristics of the White Kingdom.

Rand had the guards stationed in the designated areas of the city, and asked the top leaders of the hideout to take their luggage and stay in the residence of the prince's husband.

Rand took Ellie to the palace to meet the White King, Berlan Calant.

The White King's palace is at the highest point of the royal city.

Standing at the gate of the palace, you can overlook the entire royal city.

The White King's palace was as cold and gloomy as ever.

This is especially true now that there are no ministers here to discuss matters.

It lacks popularity and the overall decor is a bit drab.

Miss Boland seemed to be a minimalist. In short, although the palace was well insulated, it was still cold.

After entering the palace, I was led by the maid for a distance and then I could see the White King sitting on the throne.

Rand had good eyesight and could see the crimson cushion beneath the White King.

The colors really match.

"Your Majesty." Rand and Ellie saluted together.

The White King stood up from his throne: "Get up, stop pretending, it's been a long time."

"Long time no see." Rand smiled.

The White King comes to Ellie.

The girl with long brown-blonde hair has a good relationship with her sister.

But after not seeing each other for a long time, I still feel a little reserved.

The White King, Bolan, was taller than Ellie. She leaned down a little and met Ellie's eyes.

Then he looked Ellie's figure and face up and down.

Ellie has grown a lot, but unfortunately not a lot in size.

There is no sign of weight loss on her face, and her eyes are bright, so it seems that she is living a good life.

I guess Ellie had a very happy time with Rand.

Thinking of this, the White King actually felt a little lost.

There is a sense of detachment.

My sister, who used to depend on me for everything, now has her own life.

And she was alone again.

The last time, when Rand came to pick up the bride, this feeling was not so strong, because the battle with the orcs had just ended.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

There were many things weighing on the White King that needed her to deal with, and she had no time to feel more.

Now that I see my sister again, this feeling is much stronger.

However, on the surface, the White King did not show it.

"It seems like you're living well over there." The White King said in a gentle tone.

Ellie also looked the White King up and down.

Unlike Ellie's "grown up a bit".

There is no change in the White King, Bolan.

The appearance remains the same.

There was no change in clothing.

Even within the palace, not much has changed.

It's like time has stopped here.

At least in Ellie's memory, it was like this when she was a child, and it was like this for her sister too.

The biggest changes here may be that some maids have been replaced, and the White King's glacier-like throne has a crimson cushion with intricate dark gold patterns.

The White King and Ellie chatted in a low voice for a few words, and then the White King looked at Rand again.

A pair of cold ice-blue eyes.

However, the White King's expression was neither cold nor arrogant, unlike Lisa.

"It's still early, and there are performances going on at the Colosseum in the royal city. Do you want to go and see them together?" the White King invited.

Rand smiled and said, "The guest should follow the host's wishes."

"Then let us go." The White King took the cloak from the maid, and then walked out of the palace side by side with Rand and Ellie.

Rand was quite familiar with the Colosseum in the White Kingdom.

Here, he accepted the challenge from the young people of the White Country.

There are even heirs of the Duke family of the White Country and the Snow Wolf family.

At that time, Rand won easily, and then, relying on the prestige brought by military force, he led his army to the border of the Takagi Kingdom.

Then, there was a bloody battle with the orcs.

The Colosseum is a building that can be found in many large cities in the White Kingdom.

The "barbarians" of the White Country like this kind of entertainment.

The Colosseum in the White Kingdom's capital is the largest, with an audience capacity of 30,000 people watching the game at the same time.

There seems to be a special show today, and the auditorium is almost full.

It's not the coldest days of winter yet, but it's already freezing cold.

The entire site was covered with thick snow, and the snowflakes were flying in the air, like silver feathers gently falling. The fences around were made of rough ice and hard rocks. People standing on the edge of the fences were wrapped in fur coats, and their breath instantly condensed into white mist.

In the center of the field, a giant white bear was slowly standing up. Its huge body was covered with thick white hair, and there was a layer of blue ice on its back, like a living snow mountain. Its eyes flashed coldly like ice crystals, and it let out a low roar, the sound vibrating in the air, as if even this rugged and majestic building was trembling because of its existence.

"Snow bears." Ellie introduced Rand, "The snow bears of the White Country are standard magical beasts. They can be up to 4 meters long and weigh up to 2 tons."

It feels like the car in Rand's previous life.

"The magical ability is frost fur." ​​Ellie continued to introduce, "This kind of bear will constantly use its skin to scrape against trees as it grows. The oil from the trees, as well as the ice and snow, will form a layer of armor on the surface of its fur under the effect of magic. This armor is much harder than the fur of ordinary wild animals."

Snow Bear is dueling with a warrior.

The warrior had only a sword and a shield.

He is a male Northerner with a typical Northerner appearance, but he doesn't look like a Northerner.

Only a few strips of cloth covered his body.

Rand was not used to such scenes: "If that person fails..."

"Don't worry." The White King said, "This kind of competition is basically reserved for death row inmates."

"I thought you had a low crime rate here," Rand said.

"There are always some people who don't value honor, some war criminals from outside, and some disgusting robbers." The White King sneered.

"What if he wins?" Rand asked.

"I heard that you have a law about labor reform to atone for your crimes. I have been trying to implement it recently." The White King said, "If we win, we will have the opportunity to do labor reform and then atone for our crimes."

Rand looked at the snow bear in the field, which was at least three meters long.

Then he looked at the male northerner who was less than 1.8 meters tall.

Rand felt that this Northern criminal would not survive.

Rand is also not tolerant of criminals. He basically hangs those who disrupt the security of the territory and commit serious crimes.

Or be killed by Duchess Ellie herself.

The male northerner in the field was quite agile and dodged the snow bear's attacks several times.

I feel like it's close to elite level.

Rand watched with his chin propped up.

There were overwhelming shouts all around, both in support of the Snow Bears and in support of the people of the North.

“Kill! Kill!”

"Tear him apart!"

"Stab it to death!"

The shouts were quite rhythmic, and Rand couldn't help but want to shout along.

Rand was not very accustomed to such scenes. According to the moral standards of Rand's previous life, this was also bloody and cruel.

But Rand also believed in the judgment of the White King. The White King was not an overly merciful king, but according to Rand's understanding, the White King was fair most of the time and could convince the people of the White Kingdom.

Since he was dragged to the arena to face the snow bear, he was basically guilty of a heinous crime.

After a few rounds.

The male northerner was knocked away by the snow bear.

Then he got up reluctantly.

And then.

Then another Northman with similar facial features appeared and ran out from behind the iron gate of the Colosseum to rescue the Northman who was knocked away.

"Are there any group battles?" Rand asked.

The White King looked calm: "It was a small accident."

"This kind of accident is actually not rare." Ellie interrupted, "For the sake of performance effect, the management of the Colosseum will leave some obvious loopholes."

"Then there will be a lot of scenes that the audience will like to watch more," Ellie explained.

Rand looked at the field again.

Indeed, it makes the boring killing become a lot more interesting.

Rand himself was actually not used to this kind of activity that took human lives for entertainment.

But if it is a death row inmate, then it is within the scope permitted by Rand's morality.

Even for Rand, it was a bit too merciful, and the death row prisoners should be executed.

But the unexpected things in this show were not too unexpected.

The two northern criminals were quickly torn to pieces by the snow bear.

Snow Bear wasn't in a good situation either. Those two criminals were not weak enemies and they were armed.

The snow bear also had several noticeable wounds on its body.

The blood flowing from the wound turned the snow bear's ice shell from ice blue to blue and red.

Maybe after a while, it will turn crimson.

"Do you want to give it a try?" the White King asked, "If you win, the meat of this snow bear can be our dinner tonight."

Rand looked at the snow bear, who stood upright in the arena, gazing at the audience at the Colosseum.

"Then let me try." Rand stood up from his seat, and Ellie gave him a kiss as a blessing to the warrior.

Rand took off his luxurious robe. The lining inside was still very thick, but the muscle lines of Rand's body could already be seen.

Rand's inner lining was a black turtleneck sweater. Coming to the center of the field, Rand picked up his weapon from the weapon rack - a giant sword.

When Rand entered the arena, the audience burst into thunderous cheers again.

This time everyone supported Rand overwhelmingly.

The crowd also began to shout Rand's name.

"Rand! Rand! Rand!"

Rhythmic shouts filled the entire Colosseum.

Many citizens of the White Kingdom, especially those in the Royal City, know Rand.

Rand Nicholas, their prince's husband, was a legendary figure who was able to stop countless orcs with the strength of a few knightly orders.

And he's also very good at fighting.

Rand has made many contributions to the White Kingdom and is one of us.

Naturally, he received support from all the audience present.

Snow bears are very powerful.

But that is compared to ordinary people.

In Rand's eyes, he seemed not as good as the elite tauren Shasa.

The snow bear let out a deafening roar.

Rand stomped the ground hard.

Check the thickness of the ground.

The snow bear charged.

Rand stamped his feet on the ground.

This is called accumulating power.

Control the rhythm of your body through your steps.

Then when you are face to face, the force of the attack will be greater.

Rand did not choose to slash, but instead held the huge sword horizontally and struck.

Rand dodged the giant bear's paw. Although Rand would not die if he didn't dodge, he thought it would be better to be more elegant.

The giant sword struck the giant bear's head horizontally, making a dent in the hard skull.

Snowflakes were flying everywhere.

Rand won.

"Rand! Rand! Rand!" Cheers rang out again.

Rand left the venue and returned to the Supreme VIP audience seats, where he was with the White King and Ellie.

"How do you feel?" The White King Bolan smiled and asked, "Not bad."

Rand now somewhat understood this form of entertainment.

There is a feeling of being assimilated by the barbarians.

"So tonight's dinner is roasted snow bear paws?" Rand asked.

"Yes." The White King stood up and shook his cloak. "Are you going to cook for me, Your Excellency Duke Lander?"

"Then let me do it." Rand smiled.

The White King was a little worried.

The White King has great faith in Rand's cooking skills, but Rand's expression now is a bit like that of some special chef who wanted to develop special dishes when he participated in the Hideout Cooking Competition.
