Chapter 479: Lisa: I’ll tell you a little, but not all.
Rand won.
In the dark basement, there was only candlelight for lighting.
Rand pressed Lysa to the ground. The candlelight could only illuminate her slightly swollen buttocks and her torn clothes.
Rand stroked Lysa's buttocks with the bamboo paddle.
"I thought you would never surrender."
Rand was not a sadist.
But when Rand was occasionally seduced by Lysa and forced to perform some "tyrannical" activities, he would feel relaxed in a sense?
Lisa was in a very "embarrassing" state at this time.
Due to Rand's power, her head was forced to be level with Rand's shoe.
She could even smell the earth on Rand's shoes.
This made her feel...satisfactory.
As for the redness and swelling behind her waist, Lisa was already used to it.
Rand always liked to target the plumper parts, but Lysa didn't mind and enjoyed it.
As for what weapons Rand used.
Whether it was a bamboo board or a whip, Lisa could accept it.
Lysa pressed her face against the floor, and waited until Rand let go before slowly raising her neck.
After straightening herself up a bit, Lysa rubbed her face with her hands. "Sometimes, it's good to just try a little."
In the candlelight, Lisa's clothes were torn and her exposed skin was covered with red marks.
There were many "reactions" on her body caused by Rand's other methods, such as the wax that had gradually solidified or the whip marks.
"Then I have a question," Rand said.
Lysa chuckled, "Just ask."
"Are you an ancient elf?" Rand didn't know what an ancient elf was before, but as the number of elves in the holiday villa increased, and after cooperating with the Novice Sect of the Torch Church, he was able to consult the Novice Sect's documents, and Rand's understanding of the elven world became richer and richer.
The ancient elves are the pioneers, forerunners, and prophets of the elven race.
They are extremely rare, mysterious, and have a revered status in the elven world.
Before the elves split, the ancient elves were the de facto leaders of the elven race.
After the split, the ancient elves gradually disappeared, and only the rulers of the elven race knew the whereabouts of some of the ancient elves.
The rule of the elves was now controlled by several elven royal families.
Outsiders do not know what happened in the process, but at least until now, the ancient elves are still highly respected among the elven community.
The rulers of the elves would occasionally seek enlightenment from the ancient elves.
"Yes." Lisa did not deny it.
The characteristics of the ancient elves, white hair and golden eyes, are considered relatively secret information among the elves, but there are still many elves who know them.
This was also recorded in the texts of the Novice Sect, so it was not surprising that Rand knew about it.
"Are most elves actually stubborn, or even evil?" Rand asked again.
"Yes, but most of them are from the middle and upper classes of elves. As for the lower classes of elves..." Lisa said, "I haven't paid much attention to them before, but I guess they are not much different from the lower classes of humans."
Lysa had stood up and was half leaning against the wall of the basement. "The elves in the lower levels will not live to their full lifespan due to long-term labor, hunger, disease, and conflict."
"But the upper elves can. They don't have to work, and they can even enjoy the grace of the Golden World Tree. Now the power of the Elven Forest is not as strong as that of humans, but with the blessing of the Golden World Tree, it is difficult for humans to invade the Elven Forest. The upper elves are carefree. They enjoy longevity, power, and wealth. The lower elves cannot question their orders, and they can take whatever they want from the lower elves."
Compared to using words, Ryza prefers to use actions most of the time.
Lysa rarely spoke so much at once in front of Rand.
"That's it anyway." Lysa waved her hand. "I don't really care much about the lives of the lower elves, but..."
Lisa didn't say anything else, but chuckled and rubbed her knees. Her knees were numb from kneeling on the ground for too long. "These things are really disappointing. Why don't we do it a little longer?"
Lysa looked at the bamboo board that Rand had placed on the ground and the cabinets stacked nearby.
Rand stretched his muscles and said, "As you wish."
Lysa didn't reveal too much, such as why she, as an ancient elf, came to this valley.
Rand didn't mean to ask too many questions.
The fact that Lisa is willing to admit her identity means a lot.
…
A few days later.
The elves from the Elf Forest now know how to live here.
Vanilla handed over part of the work to Lord Thorn's aunt Eleanor, and then taught these elves common sense of life in the holiday villa.
Introducing the large baths that have now expanded to three, and the cathedral of the first generation of the Torch Church.
Restaurant area, scattered trade area and integrated trade area, transportation hub.
"Anyway, Lord Rand will assign you a job," Vanilla said. "Lord Rand always keeps his word. As long as you work hard, Lord Rand will give you your freedom after a year."
The elves were considered prisoners, but Rand did not put handcuffs on them.
After all, they will be going to work soon, and it will be inconvenient to work in handcuffs.
These elves are all relatively rational, at least their ruler Nidhogg is a relatively rational type.
In short, be sensible.
Then even if they are still plotting to escape, they will not choose overly drastic methods.
Nidhogg was holding a book with a lot of words written on it.
Now that I can’t go back for the time being, it’s a good opportunity to study the social structure here and all the new and strange things I’ve never seen before.
Nidhogg is a rare pioneer among the elves.
As a scholar, he is still very interested in studying new things.
It would be better if we could study in a free state.
And the other elves following behind.
I have different ideas.
There were some who opposed Nidhogg's decision and some even tried to escape.
But at this time, Elsa would naturally pay more attention to the elf group.
Maybe Nidhogg would have a chance to escape, but other elves, even the highest-level elf professionals, would not be Elsa's match.
Rand did not have any collective responsibility system, but the elves who failed to escape had to work for a longer period of time, instead of a one-year term.
"So our job is really to be a teacher in a church school?" Nidhogg asked helplessly.
Now he actually understood Vanilla's choice.
Compared to the Elf Forest, a place that values traditions and rules, this place full of new things may indeed be attractive to young elves.
Nidhogg didn't hate the elven forest, but he didn't hate this new land with all kinds of races either.
The owner of this land, Rand Nicholas, may not discriminate against or hate the elves.
He may not discriminate against any race.
In other words, he believes that any race can create value for him.
Whether it's a walking cow, a horse with hands, or a talking fish.
"Yes, I'm a teacher at a church school." Vanilla said, "I'm also the director of the teaching department and the acting principal. I'll arrange work for you."
After saying that, Vanilla sighed again.
"Teacher, thank you for coming to save me. I also know that you may not like it here. Lord Rand is a man who is willing to keep his promises, so you don't have to worry about not being able to leave in a year." Vanilla's eyes were a little apologetic, "Maybe I am indeed a little willful, but I actually think..."
"Okay, that's it." Nidhogg interrupted Vanilla.
He knew what Vanilla wanted to say.
It's just that the elves need to change.
Just as not all elves like holiday villas, not all elves like elf forests.
In the mouths of some elves, the Elf Forest is even belittled as: an unchanging tomb and an endless nightmare.
These elves often die of depression or do irrational things and are executed.
But these are mostly middle and lower level elves.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
I didn't expect that Vanilla, as a member of the elf royal family, would also think that the Elf Forest is an unbearable land.
As for vanilla's capriciousness.
If vanilla is escaping from an unbearable land, then it cannot be considered willful at all.
That is a life finding its own way out.
The group of elves soon arrived at the church school.
There are many colleges here.
The main building for teaching core basic courses, the Alchemist Academy, the Mage Academy, the Military Academy transferred from the parade grounds, and the Engineering Academy which is still under construction.
There are many students dressed in different styles walking around the church school.
Vanilla ran away for a while.
Then all the students from the Basic Courses College gathered together.
"Students, these are exchange teachers from the Elf Forest. They will live and study with you for a year. You can say hello to them." Vanilla said with a smile.
These relatively young students greeted these “exchange teachers” in unison: “Hello, teachers.”
This made the elves, who were theoretically captives, feel somewhat embarrassed.
Also, does Rand really not worry that they will teach students the wrong things due to the sharp conflict of values between the two sides? …
"Not all elven captives are suitable to be teachers. Some are very specialized fighters who have no teaching ability," Olenna analyzed.
"It doesn't matter. Those who are not suitable for teaching can do other things. Church schools also need some patrol security, logistics, and practical instructors." Rand replied after thinking.
"So how do you plan to release these elves one year from now?" asked Olenna.
"At present, it seems that most of the elves are willing to be patient. After working for a year, I will let these elves go directly. As for the others, I will have to wait until the working time is up. I just don't know if there will be any elves who want to stay by then." Rand knocked on the armrest of the lord's chair.
Rand knew very well that these elves would not decide to stay here just because life here was comfortable.
Rand didn't even really care about the damage caused by the previous elf farce.
He just hoped that these elves could understand the holiday villa to a certain extent and have some trust in it.
Rand is committed to increasing the territory's population and developing its productivity to cope with future crises.
The elves, a race with a long heritage, were naturally included in Rand's plan.
Rand believed that he could gain more and more elves.
So does it cost so much to manage each batch of elves and keep them on guard all the time? That would be too expensive.
Hence Rand's current plan.
Let some elves not be too resistant to the holiday villa.
Then when they have the opportunity to come to the resort for the second, third,...sixth time, they may choose to stay.
If you stay, you need food, shelter, clothes and travel.
That means working.
As long as it works, it doesn't matter if the elf is not registered as a Rand, because it essentially belongs to Rand's productivity.
That was all Rand thought.
And since Lisa told him that the elves he met now were among the more easy-to-talk, understanding, and kind elves.
Then he must seize this opportunity.
It’s not about bullying the good guys, but about establishing connections with those elves with whom you can communicate and cooperate as much as possible.
As for how to get the elves to come to the resort many times.
Rand said that even if the incident of Grand Duke Vladimir's sacrifice to the gods did not happen, the world would probably have undergone tremendous changes.
The elves are obviously not immune to this.
There are still many days to come.
And as Rand continues to expand.
Maybe one day, his Dukedom of the Moon will border the Elf Forest?
Looking at the map now, the distance between the two sides is quite far, but this may not be the case in the future.
…
A nun with a silver crown on her head and dark gold patterns on her clothes stood in the crowd.
Karin put on a mask because if she didn't, as a detective, she would probably be recognized by many people on the street.
Karin's brilliant blonde hair was also tied up and tucked into the hat.
She was a little worried about Vanilla taking so many elven scholars to familiarize themselves with the area by herself.
She knew Rand had arranged for Elsa to look after her, but she still planned to come and observe.
Among them is the reason of worry.
Maybe there was still a reason, maybe a little bit, because she hadn't completely calmed down? This group of elves appeared in the territory inexplicably and caused a riot, forcing her and Rand's plan to go out and play to be interrupted.
Then he called her a berserker and a female gorilla.
So she came to see if there were any elves who were upset and planning to attack someone or run away.
This way she would have a reason to take action.
She borrowed some pepper spray from Lesa and smeared it on the whip.
Karin is not good at using a whip, but she can still control her strength against a few "few" weak elves.
I have to say that although Lisa is a bit abnormal, her brain is still very useful.
Always come up with some weird inventions.
At this moment, Karin smiled faintly.
Unfortunately, no one can appreciate this beautiful scenery under the mask.
There really is an elf trying to escape.
Karin rubbed her hands.
It's time to move your muscles.
But she couldn't waste too much time, as she still had some things to deal with today, and tomorrow, Rand invited her to buy clothes.
