Chapter 446: The White King's Marriage and Karin's Marriage (5000!!)

Karin returned to her detective agency as usual.

After tidying up.

Then head to the chapel of the Torch Church.

Now this place can no longer be called a chapel, as the work focus of the Torch Church's nascent faction gradually shifts to the Dukedom of the Moon Phase.

The Torch Church in the Duke of the Moon has been continuously renovated and expanded, and now occupies a considerable area.

At least it is bigger than the Torch Church in the capital of the Frost Moon Kingdom.

People come and go among them.

Karin naturally has a disguised identity.

Karin used this disguise to enter the closed area of ​​the church.

We soon arrived at Bishop Kahn's office.

Bishop Cahn is sorting out the casualties of this fight against evil.

"Are the casualties serious?" Karin asked.

"Not serious." Bishop Kahn did not look up, still looking down at the document, "Because the support came in time, although the intensity of the war was high, it did not last long, and the overall damage was not great. In addition, because of the teachings brought by Duke Moon Phase, the improvement of medical technology allowed many soldiers who would have died from injuries to survive."

"Very good." Karin nodded.

This is actually quite beneficial to the overall development of the Torch Church.

When Rand killed the undead, he only got some rotten bones.

The followers of the Torch Church can obtain the blessing of the Torch Goddess by killing evil.

In short, you will receive power or some material rewards directly from God.

The Torch Goddess herself hates evil, and destroying evil with fire is equivalent to offering a sacrifice to the Torch Goddess, and then you will receive a reward from the Torch Goddess.

As for sacrifice...

As long as the sacrifice is not in vain, Karin and Bishop Kahn both think it is worth it.

They will cherish the lives of their soldiers, but when it is really necessary to fight against evil, it is a sin to shrink back.

"Since this operation is still for the purpose of defending the Dukedom of the Moon Phase, Duke Rand of the Moon Phase has also provided a lot of subsidies." Bishop Kahn said, "These subsidies will be guaranteed to be distributed to the families of the victims."

"In addition," Bishop Kahn continued to explain the situation, "the number of marriages between the Mother Goddess Sect and our sect is also increasing. We are getting to know each other better. Of course, there are also problems. There are many stubborn people who think that this undermines the purity of the Torch Church."

"What are they thinking?" Karin asked.

"They believe that our faith is the Torch Goddess, not some inexplicable evil god." Bishop Kahn sighed, "There are quite a few of them. They are willing to fight for the Torch Church, but they cannot accept cooperating with a group of outsiders who may grow tentacles."

"I see." Karin didn't comment on this.

There is no way around it.

Since the Torch Church's strategy needs to be changed to favor Rand's philosophy, it must cooperate with the Mother Goddess Sect.

Otherwise there is no such soil anywhere else.

You can't have both, right?

Want the benefits of the Mother Goddess Sect while maintaining the purity of the Torch Church? Anyway, Karin doesn't agree with such a thing.

As for not changing or developing at all, wouldn't they become like the autistic people in the Old Holy City? Anyway, so far, Bishop Kahn and Karin are very satisfied with the current situation.

After saying this.

Bishop Kahn's face turned serious and he looked at Karin: "Lady Saint, there is one more important thing."

"Speaking."

"It's Karin. You are not young anymore. Have you ever thought about your marriage?" Bishop Kahn stroked his white beard and acted like an elder.

Bishop Kahn basically only acts like a kind and benevolent grandfather in front of children.

At other times, Bishop Kahn would not act like an elder.

Maybe when you are relaxing in the new moon, people will call you "Grandpa, you are so awesome".

There is really nothing else. Bishop Kahn feels that being treated as an elder all the time can easily lead to a change in mentality.

He is only in his seventies, the right age to strive for success! He is still young!

But Bishop Kahn still planned to ask a little about Karin's life.

Bishop Kahn himself remained unmarried throughout his life, but he felt that this was not a good thing. The reason he remained unmarried was due to some historical issues.

Karin's expression didn't change at all, and she said calmly, "No."

Bishop Kahn stared at Karin.

Then he said suspiciously, "It's OK for young people to put their careers first, but you can't completely ignore it. As an old man, I have no right to force you to do anything. I just think you don't need to resist too much. If you really find something good, you can give it a try."

"Not considered." Karin answered again.

Bishop Kahn continued to be suspicious.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Rand?"

"What are you talking about!" Karin grinned.

Bishop Kahn continued stroking his beard.

He looked Karin up and down.

I feel like there really is hope.

You can try matchmaking.

It is true that the Grand Duke of Land is a married man.

But that was a marriage based on Rand's noble status.

Wouldn't it be possible to confer a saintly son upon Rand and have him marry the saintly daughter? According to Bishop Kahn's understanding, Karin at least didn't hate Rand.

He would try to bring them together first. If Karin or Rand resisted, he would stop. He didn't want to cause dislike.

However, he now feels there is still some hope.

Now Karin doesn't seem to be very resistant, so the next step is to see what Rand thinks.

Bishop Kahn no longer spoke to Karin about the matter.

This matter requires long-term consideration.

…

And Rand at this time.

Also entered the working period.

Let’s first take a look at the progress of the King’s Road renovation project.

The renovation of the King's Road is currently more than halfway completed.

Rand has also received the corresponding progress payment.

Once the project is completed, you will receive the final payment.

And once the road is completed, Rand can further develop its domestic trade system.

Just as Rand's fingers were slowly tapping on the armrest of the chair, thinking about his future work tasks.

Ellie walked into the lord's hall.

Ellie walked up to Scribe Olenna and whispered something in her ear.

Olenna then handed over the shift to Ellie.

Ellie temporarily took over the job of clerk.

After Olenna left, Rand and Ellie were the only ones left in the lord's hall.

Ellie came to the lord's hall today, of course she had something to do.

That was to test Rand's thoughts on his sister.

In fact, Ellie had had this idea on the Ice Phoenix.

But suddenly there was news that the territory was attacked, so Ellie didn't dare to say much.

Now that the undead have been repelled, it's a good time to restart the plan.

Ellie came closer to Rand and said, "Do you think I'm pretty?"

Rand was stunned.

What kind of question is this? Rand looked at Ellie strangely and puzzledly, not understanding what she was up to: "What do you want to do?"

Ellie glared: "Am I ugly?"

"Of course not, my wife, Miss Ellie, is a beauty!" Rand had no choice but to answer.

Although the tone of this sentence is a bit perfunctory, the content is not false.

Ellie is naturally beautiful, cute and thoughtful.

The word "beauty" can certainly be used to describe Ellie, and it can even be said that such a simple word is not enough to describe Ellie's charm.

"So do you like me?" Ellie asked again.

"I like it." Rand became more alert and answered honestly.

"So what do you think of my sister and I..." Ellie continued.

And Rand predicted without hesitation: "You are beautiful! You are the smartest! I like you the most!"

Ellie was stunned.

This made her wonder how to continue.

She also wanted to promote her sister.

Seeing Ellie was stunned.

Rand felt that his prediction was successful.

Rand smiled: "Madam, is there anything else?"

Ellie was lost in thought.

I still think I should try harder.

Ellie left the lord's hall and entered the bedroom.

Rand felt that the problem was solved.

Continue with the work at hand.

It's just that Olenna has walked away and the work efficiency has decreased.

As Rand continued to work.

Ellie reappeared.

She changed into a neutral outfit and somehow dyed her hair white.

At first glance, Rand almost mistook Ellie for the White King for a moment.

Although in fact, the White King and Ellie don't look particularly similar.

They have the same ice blue eyes.

But there are still some differences in body shape.

At least Rand, who is familiar with both sides, can easily tell the difference.

However, they still look very similar from a distance.

"Would you still like it if I became like this?" Ellie said.

"Yes!" Rand answered without hesitation.

In the original history of "Deep Moon", after the White King disappeared and the White Kingdom was destroyed, Ellie, the protagonist who originally had beautiful long brown-gold hair, also had her hair turn white in a sudden change.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Then came the era of Queen Ellie Callant.

If Ellie really became like that, Rand would certainly still like her.

But Rand will never let the same mistakes happen again.

And even without Ellie, Rand would find a way to protect the White King.

Although the powerful White King does not need Rand's protection.

Ellie felt okay again, so she continued, "What do you think of my sister?"

"What's going on?" Rand was puzzled.

Ellie had no choice but to continue: "Does it look good?"

"Not as good as you." Rand was very perceptive.

Ellie was helpless.

What is all this?

Although Ellie was still very happy when she was praised for her beauty, she didn't know how to continue with the words she had prepared.

Ellie thought about it for a moment.

She has been very smart since she was a child. She can understand everything at a glance and it is rare for her to fall into deep thought after a while.

"So my sister is beautiful too, right?" Ellie asked.

Rand was very alert: "Not as good as you."

Rand didn't respond at all.

Ellie was a little annoyed.

"So what do you think of my sister's personality?" Ellie continued to ask.

"Not as good as you." Rand's answer was always the same.

"Do you hate my sister?" Ellie asked.

"I don't hate her." Rand's expression was serious. "The White King is my aunt, the sponsor of the Duchy of the Moon Phase, and an important partner of the Duchy of the Moon Phase. The White King Bolan is my important ally."

"What else?" Ellie felt a little tired.

Now in a state of alert, Rand was just like a loach, sliding up and down without any flaws.

Rand was also very satisfied with his performance.

Of course, he had no experience in dealing with this kind of thing in his previous life, but he encountered these things quite often when watching short videos.

All in all, rich in theory and experience.

The method used to teach Karin how to solve physiological problems also came from this theoretical experience.

"I admire the White King's personality, and she is also my family. I think if we have the chance, we should visit her more often!" Rand said firmly, "Ms. Bolan is an important family member of ours."

Ellie felt like she was about to be defeated.

But Ellie still wasn't going to give up.

"I am the only blood relative of my sister." Ellie, who was dressed in a neutral style with white hair and blue eyes, said, "I think our family relationship can be closer."

After Ellie said this, Rand was a little unpredictable.

Rand was a little confused: "What do you mean?"

"That's the question I asked you before!" Ellie said helplessly, "My sister has always presented herself as a man, and no one takes care of her... I think you can try harder."

Rand fell silent.

He really didn't hate the White King, or rather, Rand actually had a good impression of the White King.

But after all, her aunt's identity is there, and the White King is still the king of the White Kingdom, so there are many obstacles in terms of identity.

So Rand never thought about this issue in detail.

But Ellie said this.

Rand just said helplessly: "Is it really okay for you to betray your sister like this?"

Ellie glared, "Why, do you hate my sister so much?"

"I don't hate her." Rand said, "In fact, I admire her very much."

This must be what Rand really thought, and Ellie breathed a sigh of relief.

This solves some of the problems.

At least I don't have to worry about making Rand unhappy by trying to bring them together.

"Then you should try harder. My sister has been facing the world alone for many years. Her mental state may not be very good." Ellie thought for a moment.

Rand said helplessly: "That depends on your sister's willingness..."

Ellie didn't care about it. Since Rand didn't resist, one of the problems was solved.

Take your time with my sister’s problem and deal with things step by step.

Ellie patted her chest and said, "I will find a chance to test my sister. I think there is hope."

Rand was somewhat helpless and had to say, "Then it depends on you."

Rand actually didn't hold out much hope.

Would someone like the White King really have such thoughts?

And even if both the White King and Rand are interested.

There are still many difficulties.

First of all, it must not be known to outsiders.

Otherwise, the White Kingdom would become a laughing stock, with the White King being a woman and having an affair with her brother-in-law.

Secondly, both of them have a lot to shoulder. Do they really have the time to talk about love and romance?

…

After half of spring has passed.

The Scourge bishops who stayed behind in the City of the Dead finally died of their worries.

The Scourge Archbishop, with a large number of high-level undead, as well as some ordinary Scourge bishops and Scourge believers, went to launch a surprise attack on Duke Rand of the Moon Phase.

But now, it failed.

The news of the defeat came a few days ago.

This is not the worst.

For a force like the Scourge that can quickly replenish low-level troops, ordinary failures are nothing.

As long as the high-level combat power is not lost, it will be fine.

Even if we lose high-level combat power, it is not completely unacceptable.

As long as the Archbishop of Scourge himself is safe and sound.

The Archbishop of the Scourge is the most talented user of the power of death since the split of the Torch Church, and the mastermind behind the Scourge of the Undead.

We were able to establish our current power and build the City of the Undead thanks to the guidance of the Archbishop of Scourge.

But now, the Archbishop of Scourge seems unable to come back.

And he should really stay in the Dukedom of the Moon Phase forever.

What exactly does the Lunar Dukedom have? The remaining Scourge bishops were very puzzled.

Clearly, before setting out, the Archbishop had discussed with them that the power of the Dukedom of the Moon Phase would not be too strong and that the Saint of the Novice Sect of the Torch Church was bound to die.

Otherwise, given the character of that saint, there is no way she would allow the undead to wreak havoc to this extent.

If it wasn't done by the saint, then what could it be? Could it be that a new king was born in the Torch Church?

Or is it that the Grand Duke Rand of the Moon Phase himself is a king?

Or had the Frost Moon Kingdom already made preparations, just waiting to catch the turtle in the jar? The remaining Scourge Bishops in the City of the Dead could not imagine it.

But there is one thing that is certain.

That is, for the City of the Dead, the offensive and defensive situations have completely changed.

The once extremely powerful City of the Undead is now very weak compared to the major human forces around it.

Before, the City of the Dead could use various strategies to attack the Kingdom of Borun, break through the Kingdom of Borun’s defenses, and force the Kingdom of Borun’s army to flee in panic.

But now, the City of the Dead must prepare for the next human attack.

Now that it has lost the Archbishop of Scourge and a large number of high-end combat forces, the City of the Dead is already in a precarious situation.

The remaining Scourge bishops and some high-level undead found an area in the City of the Dead to hold an emergency meeting.

"What should we do?" said a skinny-looking Bishop of Scourge.

"It's impossible to defend this place with normal methods." Another Scourge Bishop wrapped in black robes spoke up, "We must come up with some new strategies to save us, otherwise, no matter how disorganized humans become, we won't be able to resist them."

"Why don't we abandon the City of the Undead and start fleeing?" a high-level undead suggested.

"Impossible." The skinny Bishop of the Scourge said at the beginning, "Let's not talk about whether we can accept going back to being rats in the gutter. Escape itself is completely unfeasible."

"In the past, we were just a very weak sect that was not worth mentioning compared to the Nurturing Blood. But now, we have launched the Undead Scourge, built the City of the Dead, and breached the defenses of the Borun Kingdom. Now all human countries in the world will realize our harm. They are afraid of us. If we scatter, they will not hesitate to send a large force to encircle and suppress us. And we are destined to be weaker if we scatter."

"What should we do then?"

The Scourge Bishops and high-level undead fell silent, because they really couldn't think of any good solutions.
