Chapter 481: Make-up date, vampire feast, bump into "parents" (successful extra chapter! Happy New Year's Eve!)

The day after Lysa and Karin ran into each other on the street.

Rand saw Karin, who looked a little dejected.

"Why, unhappy?" Rand asked.

Karin simply turned her head, pursed her lips, and whispered the story of her feud with Lisa.

Rand couldn't help laughing.

"It's okay, that's just how Lysa is," Rand comforted her.

Karin complained a little, but she wasn't the type to get angry, so she quickly cheered up: "Let's not talk about this anymore, where are we going today?"

"Then I would like to highly recommend the clothing store directly under the Propaganda Department, Sanctuary Fashion Store!" Rand introduced.

"There are many designs by my wife, as well as powerful people with aesthetic abilities from all walks of life in the Sanctuary."

For example, the owner of the perfume shop, Ms. Ayesha, and the unidentified ancient elf Lysa.

"Let's go, then." Karin fiddled with the brim of her hat.

Today she dressed up, wearing a beret on her head, a short jacket with a short-sleeved shirt underneath, and long pants.

There is still a silver crown above her eyes, but she no longer has the quiet temperament she had when she was wearing nun's uniform.

In short, detective form variant.

However, due to her "underground love affair", Karin also wore a mask. The crown that covered her eyes and the mask that covered her face completely concealed her appearance.

If you are not familiar with it, you may not be able to recognize it.

The two of them walked on the road, looking strange, but no one would dare to question Rand's behavior.

And because Rand seemed to be doing something profound with a weirdo, no one came to disturb them along the way.

Until the two of them entered the clothing store.

Sanctuary style.

There are quite a few customers here.

Most of the ways of making clothes in this world are still to buy fabrics and find a tailor, or to cut them yourself.

This method is inefficient but cheap.

Making ready-made garments is different, as this behavior is inconvenient for both sellers and buyers.

There will always be some models of ready-made clothes that cannot be sold, and there will always be some customers who cannot buy the clothes they want.

But correspondingly, there is also a huge advantage, you can just buy it home, wash it and wear it.

Now there is only one large clothing store in the holiday villa, which is contracted and opened by Duke of the Moon Rand and officially endorsed by Rand to reduce risks.

At present, the effect can only be described as acceptable, and the income and expenditure are at a barely acceptable level.

It is true that you can make money, but in this central location, this little profit can only be considered barely acceptable.

Nowadays, people still have the habit of hiring tailors, so they earn less, and there is nothing we can do about it.

But Rand believes that this place will become more and more profitable over time.

The store employees of Sanctuary Fashion are all staff members of the Propaganda Department. These people are all official staff with a regular position, so naturally they all know Rand.

Also, some of them were somewhat familiar with Karin, so much so that they could recognize Karin.

However, as a propagandist who is skilled in propaganda work, he naturally knows that there are some things that cannot be exposed or spread randomly.

Any recommendations? Rand asked a salesperson.

The salesperson in a standard suit pretended not to know Karin, glanced at the detective's figure, and then came to a clothes rack.

This is a light blue dress. "This dress is 'Sea Breeze Song' designed by Ms. Ayesha. It is said that it was inspired by the sunrise she saw while walking on the beach."

The preparation of safe and non-toxic dyes is very difficult.

So most of the clothes in this world are the color of the material itself.

Bright colors are often due to the decoration of feathers of certain birds.

But this dress is different.

The main color is light blue, a subtle color between sky blue and sea blue, reminiscent of the softness at the junction of the sea and sky in the early morning. If you look closely, you can see a faint, rich gradient in the blue, like the shimmering light of the sun shining on the sea at sunrise, or like the unpredictable clouds in the sky, from light to dark, light and rich in layers.

At the hem of the skirt, the color gradually deepens and transitions to a light blue with a slightly gray tone, simulating the hazy feeling of the distant horizon blending with the sky.

Such gorgeous colors are probably not due to the great alchemist Ms. Ayesha mastering some magical dyeing technology, but may have used color raw materials from some magical creatures.

But anyway, the effect is good.

The price may be a bit...

Karin went to the dressing room to try changing.

Rand walked up to the salesperson and asked, "What's the price of this?"

The shopping guide reported a mysterious number.

It is surprisingly cheap. It is still expensive compared to ordinary clothes, but very cheap compared to luxury goods.

“How come it’s so cheap?”

"Because the monster was killed with the help of Lady Karin." The shopping guide whispered.

"Is that so?" Rand seemed to understand, then blinked and whispered to the salesperson not to show that she recognized Karin.

Although Karin resigned from the Propaganda Department, she has always kept in touch with everyone in the Propaganda Department and the relationship between them has always been good.

Karin is a strong person whose strength is unknown but should be stronger than the minister. Sometimes when everyone encounters an enemy, they will ask Karin for help.

None of them are very powerful. The minister is a high-level professional, but she is very busy and has almost no chance to go out to watch Karin defeat monsters or obtain materials.

When people occasionally see Miss Karin taking action, they just think she is very powerful, but they don’t know how powerful she is.

The salesgirl nodded, indicating that she would keep the secret.

In fact, even if Rand didn't mention this, the shopping guide would not disclose the identity of Karin's master casually.

As an official staff member of the resort, he actually has a good sense of confidentiality.

Back then, Karin joined the Propaganda Department when she was still a confused blind girl.

Everyone knew that Karin was definitely not someone who would stay out of the pool.

Now, I didn't expect that this girl who was blind but whose life was not affected much would be favored by Lord Rand.

How enviable.

Although the salesperson admitted that Karin was indeed very beautiful, as bright as the sun and as warm as fire.

Everyone in the Propaganda Department likes her very much.

But she was still jealous that Lord Rand had taken a fancy to her.

Karin walked out quickly.

Karin looks great in this dress, maybe it's because beautiful women look good in anything.

And the dress itself is gorgeous, swaying like a tranquil sea.

It highlights the fair color of the girl's skin and the unique nobility in Karin's temperament.

Although according to her age, Karin is actually no longer a girl.

It's just that in appearance, she still looks like a girl.

Karin's living habits and personality can be said to be very similar to those of a village girl.

But the noble and peaceful parts of being a king may be innate, or they may be achieved from the moment one becomes king.

But no matter what, this nobility exists in Karin's character.

Rand held out his hand: "Beautiful lady, can you take a walk with me for a while?"

Karin blushed a little. As a king, she had very good hearing, so of course she heard the conversation between Rand and the shopping guide.

But she pretended not to hear it.

Put your hand in Rand's.

Rand curled his fingers around Karin's, then turned them over and intertwined them.

Karin's face turned even redder and she muttered, "How rude."

Rand's behavior certainly crossed the line between ordinary friends.

But Karin is a weak woman, and she can't break free from the power of Rand's elite strongman, right? The two tried on a few more clothes, and then asked for them to be packed and delivered to the detective agency.

Rand and Karin were the last to change into more casual clothes and reappear on the street.

Many ordinary people who had never been seen before appeared on the streets.

Karin had participated in many meetings of the Sanctuary’s top leaders and knew why.

The Workers Act

Rand's original bill.

If it is distributed properly, villagers can actually have jobs all year round.

But not all lords' territorial personnel structures are like Rand's.

In some territories, only agriculture can be developed, and the agricultural structure is still simple.

Therefore, there is a long period of slack in farming.

Many lords get angry when they see their subjects being leisurely.

Now Rand has provided a destination for these villagers.

work to earn a living.

"You will be assigned to the engineering team, and you will be assigned to the freight team." Karin could still hear the staff in the office assigning these people.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"What do you want to do next?" Karin asked.

"Watch the Wind Chimes Band's performance," Rand replied.

"That's not what I'm asking."

"Greek fire, metal interlayer, tower, crossbow." Rand looked to the south.

The strategy was set at the outset.

Hegemony of the sea.

"If we don't pay protection fees to the Kingdom of Bolen and other maritime countries, our bamboo trade route can actually be profitable. I can even purchase iron ore from the Mountain Country and then sell the smelted metal ingots back." Rand said lightly.

It’s not all ambition.

But Rand does need more power to deal with the consequences of Grand Duke Vladimir's sacrifice.

Marcus promised that Land could expand southward at will and would provide support when necessary.

Then the Bolen Kingdom's control over the nearby waters is what Rand wants to break first.

"I understand." Karin did not comment on Rand's strategy.

Or maybe she had actually guessed it a long time ago and just wanted to confirm it.

…

The Kingdom of Lensa, the final place of destruction for the undead.

This place has been turned upside down.

The local lord discovered that night that the price he had to pay to gain the merit of destroying the undead was much greater than he had imagined.

He was now on his knees, and a vampire was twisting the local lord's face with his boot in annoyance.

"So you really don't know anything." The vampire said helplessly.

"Yes, this was all done by a man named Rand Nicholas. He must know where what you want is." The local lord begged for mercy.

"So the enemies were all dealt with by the Grand Duke of the Frost Moon Kingdom?" asked the vampire.

"Yes." The local lord nodded repeatedly.

"Oh~" the vampire sneered.

It seems that Rand Nicholas should be included as an alternative target for investigation.

But not the next target.

Rand Nicholas was too much trouble.

Even vampires like them had heard of Rand's brilliant achievements in the south and the north.

The newborn faction of the Torch Church also established a new base in the Frost Moon Kingdom.

These are all very troublesome.

Forcing these vampires to consider the price of being an enemy of Rand.

Of course, Rand obviously could not be their opponent, as they had one of the strongest forces in the world, the Blue King Rommel.

If necessary, the king will destroy everything.

But before that.

Let's deal with the weaker enemies first.

They didn't completely believe the local lord's words. It was possible that the local lord just wanted to get rid of the trouble quickly, right? Their next target was the local lord's feudal lord, Earl of Dandelion, Ari.

Compared to the Grand Duke Rand Nicholas, Eric Dandelion should be a relatively easy opponent to deal with.

However, a great noble like the Earl is likely to have top-level guards or family members, so he needs to be treated with caution.

The captain of the Azure King's secret army ordered: "Leave a few people to guard this human lord. There may still be clues here. Don't let the Kingdom of Lunsa find out."

"Everyone else, follow me. Let's go check out Earl Dandelion's family."

…

Rand and Karin arrived in front of the tavern.

Due to previous events.

Feng Ling has gained Rand's trust.

However, there were not many substantial changes in her life.

There is still a need to perform music on stage.

Feng Ling neither likes nor hates performing, at best it's just a job.

But her team members all seem to like this job very much.

Occasionally, the wind chimes would be infected by the music and become a little more excited.

But that’s where it ends.

And there are some troubling consequences to this activity.

That means a lot of people will know you.

Occasionally there's a perverted stalker.

Of course, such people are often no match for Feng Ling and will be sent to the security station in the holiday villa.

Then Feng Ling saw Rand and a beautiful woman wearing a crown appear in the viewing area.

The viewing area is actually an open space.

As a senior ranger, Feng Ling's excellent eyesight also allows him to see the drinks in the two people's hands clearly.

This made Feng Ling want to curl her lips.

She was working, playing the piano in the sun.

Lord Rand was living a comfortable life, hanging out with his lover.

Feng Ling sighed in her heart again. This was what Rand deserved. Who knows? Lord Rand might really have a profound influence on the elven race.

I just hope that there won't be a time when she has trouble making a choice.

At this time, Rand and Karin were a little embarrassed.

Because they ran into Bishop Kahn.

Bishop Kahn looked at Karin and then at Rand.

He calmly stroked his collar, making sure the kiss marks protected by his clothes would not be seen.

Bishop Kahn acted like an elder: "Come out to play?"

Rand and Karin nodded stiffly.

Bishop Kahn came over and whispered in Rand's ear: "Did you succeed?"

Bishop Kahn spoke in a very low voice, but Rand knew very well that no matter how quiet the voice was, it would not escape Karin's ears at this distance.

So Rand just said seriously: "Ahem, I don't understand what you are saying."

Of course, Karin knew that these cover-ups were useless.

Her face turned red.

She blushed several times today.
