Chapter 47: Greed, Malice, Action

Currently only about one third of the literacy teaching materials have been written, but literacy and mathematics courses can already be started.

Let the believers learn first.

The classes are scheduled every morning, starting after daybreak, lasting an hour, and then the believers are asked to go to work.

Olena teaches literacy, with Ellie helping out sometimes, and Rand teaches math, with literacy and math alternating every other day.

After the basic knowledge course, there will be a small class on Rand's teachings.

That is to allow believers to understand Rand's new doctrine more clearly to avoid ambiguity.

Rand tapped the blackboard and asked, "If we need to clear out a Goblin cave in the wild, what would you do?"

No one answered.

Rand raised his eyebrows and pointed out a name skillfully: "Cers, you answer!"

Seth was no longer surprised by being called out. He stood up skillfully and after thinking for a moment, he replied, "Seal the entrance of the cave and then smoke it out?"

"Correct answer, sit down!"

Many adventurers like to go in and fight the goblins when clearing out goblin caves, but this method is completely wrong. Once the entrance to the cave is blocked, all the goblins will die after being smoked for a period of time.

Most of the caves of wild monsters are unlikely to have any good ventilation facilities, and there are only two or three exits at most.

There are no high-value treasures in the goblin caves in the wild. After fumigating, there is no need to reopen the seal at the entrance, you can just leave.

I don't know why he had to enter the narrow and dark cave. Did he think he could find some treasure in the goblin's lair? In the end, it would be more like the goblin's treasure.

After the small class ended, the believers left the classroom in an orderly manner. Due to the scarcity of paper, they were unable to have their own notebooks. Although they were very serious in class, the teaching effect could only be described as mediocre.

But Rand can only prioritize the development of papermaking technology over food craftsmanship. But it is still too early to have the spare time to study papermaking. The most important thing now is to build an adventurer's holiday villa and deal with the malice of Baron Huyuan.

When everyone in the classroom had left, Rand also left and came to the office attached to the sacrificial room.

Seeing Rand coming, Ellie stood up and said, "The White King Calant has officially replied and will start to help promote the ruins here in the near future."

"What about our engineering situation?"

"The first phase of the project has been completed. Basic facilities such as taverns, toilets, and some houses are now ready for use." Toilets are Rand's way of saying places where people go to relieve themselves. The feces will be transported by dung pickers to designated locations for composting.

According to Rand's idea, sewers will be built in the future to carry feces directly to the manure pit.

As for the second and third phases of the project, it depends on the flow of adventurers. If it is average, there is no need to continue spending money on construction. However, the large bathhouse invested by Ellie and Olenna, which is a luxury building, is still under construction.

The main reason is that Rand himself also needs a convenient place to take a shower, and if he wants to recruit high-end talents in the future, this will also be a very attractive facility.

"Anything else?" Rand continued to ask.

Ellie nodded, but sat back. Olenna was in charge of this part of the work, although Rand still didn't know how they divided the work.

Olenna said, "Baron Huyuan has begun to urge us. He seems very anxious."

Rand frowned. It was very abnormal to be so anxious. After all, in the face of huge interests, dragons would be patient, unless there was something wrong with the baron's finances.

"Did Lakehead also get conquered during the war?" Olenna had also read the letter from the White King to Ellie, so she was quite familiar with such things. "Yes."

"But this Baron Huyuan is not dead?" The original lord of Crescent Moon Territory died in the offensive of Lensa, which led to the later Baron Skinning of the Lensa Kingdom. However, this Baron Huyuan did not die. His territory was conquered, but he was not deprived of his title. It was a very magical thing.

According to aristocratic law, a noble must defend his territory to the death. If the territory is conquered and the lord of the territory escapes, he will lose ownership of the land. Even if the land is recovered in the future, it will no longer belong to the original lord.

Some strict countries would even directly execute escaped nobles. While the nobles enjoyed so many privileges, they also had obligations, namely the responsibility to defend their land.

But Baron Huyuan still returned to his territory, which must be a trick.

The reason why Baron Huyuan was so anxious was probably because he had financial problems. For example, his territory was plundered by the nobles of the Kingdom of Lunsa, and there might not be many people left now.

Right now, Rand feels like the hideout is walking on a tightrope, with multiple things running in parallel, so it's really tricky to deal with this dog who's so anxious that he wants to jump over the wall.

Although they didn't know what Baron Huyuan's current situation was, Rand and Olenna were in agreement that it was impossible to give him money and food.

Rand thought for a moment, then said, "Speed ​​up the production of the Iron Golem Armor, and then arrange for people to guard the border. I think this Baron Huyuan can't wait any longer."

Crescent Moon Territory borders two territories, Lake Source Territory to the northeast, River Source Territory to the southwest, and a buffer zone with the Kingdom of Lunsa to the east. There are no noble lords in this buffer zone, only some refugees and bandits.

The current situation has made it possible to send the untrained third-term soldiers to garrison in the northeast, and Rand plans to command them personally.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After arranging everything, Rand walked into the sacrificial room. After completing the task of destroying the hideout of the God of Struggle, Rand had not come to hand in the task. Now was the time.

After reciting the tongue twister skillfully and letting out some blood, Rand disappeared into the sacrifice room and returned after a while.

Sure enough, the great, merciful, wise, and supreme Dark Goddess of Fertility is much more generous than the three-headed wolf of the God of Struggle.

The Desire to Share has been upgraded and can now perform two consecutive attacks. It feels like it will soon become a group skill.

Rand was still very excited when he thought that in the future he would just snap his fingers and a large group of people would start fighting.

However, as Rand expected, the task of eliminating the pagans was a long task chain. After destroying the pagan hideout in Crescent Moon Territory, the task became to destroy the pagan hideouts nearby outside Crescent Moon Territory. It would probably be a long time before one could leave Crescent Moon Territory to eliminate the cultists, so there was no need to consider it for the time being.

Walking out of the sacrifice room, Rand threw a crystal to Ellie.

Ellie took it and looked at it. She wasn't surprised and smiled: "Have you seen enough?"

Rand rolled his eyes, knowing that no matter how he explained, the two would probably not believe him, so he simply didn't explain.

Now the photo crystal is completely unnecessary. A few days ago when they faced the giant snake that was bigger than the Iron Golem, they lived and died together. At least he heard what Ellie and Olenna thought about this period of time, and trust has been established between them.

There is no point in keeping this thing except for it to become a knot in your heart.

In fact, Ellie didn't care much about this matter anymore, but it was better to keep the dark history in her own hands. After looking at Olenna, Olenna kept the photo crystal.

Rand stood there and thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you want to keep it for yourself?"

Olenna's hand paused as she put away the photo crystal. She looked at Ellie again and felt that what Rand said made sense.

Pinching the image crystal and applying a little force, the crystal began to crack, and then turned into quicksand and flowed through Olenna's fingers.
