Chapter 506: Focus, Means, and the Suffering of the Kingdom of Boren

Marcus has been having a great time lately.

I finally feel like I'm back to the time when I was the Duke of Thorns.

In fact, it was also very troublesome when I first inherited the title.

But when his son Adrian grew up and became sensible, he had a lot of free time and could leave everything to his son.

It is called exercising ability.

Marcus, wearing leather armor, easily defeated several relic construct monsters.

Then there are special support adventurers to help decompose the monsters.

Support adventurers are usually professional and experienced adventurers or new adventurers who are still learning.

New adventurers will not be allowed to participate in battles without a period of internship.

Therefore, becoming a support adventurer will be the choice of many new adventurers.

Marcus gave the supporting adventurer a suitable tip and then began to return to the upper level with the spoils.

After reaching the upper level and coming to the exit, Marcus found the counters to count the spoils.

After that comes the calculation of points, payment of taxes, and calculation of money.

Marcus's combat ability is pretty good, and these spoils are enough for Marcus to accumulate enough points to become a more advanced adventurer.

In the system set by Rand, adventurers need to pass both moral points and combat points before they can be promoted, but Marcus has a customized task given to him by Rand. While improving his combat points, he will also improve the corresponding moral points.

So Marcus can be upgraded directly.

Marcus collected the points, and then took the spoils after paying taxes and rode a Centaur carriage back to the Adventurer's Association building in the resort.

After queuing up and arriving at the counter, the sweet-looking lady at the counter looked at Marcus's points sign.

After careful checking, she smiled sweetly.

"Adventurer Marcus, congratulations on your promotion to a Level 2 adventurer. You can now go on an adventure to the ruins of the Specialty Road. You will also be able to purchase and modify more advanced weapons and alchemical items." (The permission for adventure locations corresponding to the adventurer's level is in Chapter 388.) The lady at the counter changed Marcus' adventurer's sign from a wooden one to an iron one. This was proof that he was a Level 2 adventurer.

Marcus nodded, took the sign, asked for some more information, and then left.

Marcus hung his iron plate in a conspicuous place, and his guards all covered their faces.

I've never seen His Majesty the King so fond of showing off before.

Along the way, many adventurers noticed Marcus' iron sign.

Being a Level 2 adventurer is considered to be a master, and one can make a living from it. Marcus doesn't look young, but the adventurer industry has never judged people by appearance. Maybe this old man was a king before, and now he is retired and wants to be an adventurer? In short, everyone will give enough respect to Level 2 adventurers who have passed the dual assessment of morality and combat effectiveness.

Marcus came to the alchemy and equipment store directly under the Adventurer's Association. After the store manager looked at Marcus's iron plate, he introduced some good goods to Marcus: "This is a new product from the Holy Land, the Grease Bottle. It can create a slippery area on a road surface to make the enemy fall. If necessary, it can also assist in starting a fire and causing burns. First come, first served!"

Marcus stroked his chin and nodded, finding it quite interesting.

He had no interest in adventurer activities before. Adventurers were nothing more than helping nobles do the dirty and tiring work that they were unwilling to do.

But Rand has promoted this place many times, and now after experiencing it, it is indeed very different.

Very interesting.

Complete tasks, earn points, level up, and then you can unlock more weapons and equipment and adventure into more areas.

This is really interesting.

However, Marcus' vacation was not enough to support his adventure to the ruins of the Specialty Road, so his next plan was to go to Crescent Harbor for a seaside vacation.

The Thorn Family has invested heavily in Crescent Moon Harbor. Naturally, there is a holiday villa belonging to the Thorn Family in the area with the best scenery and view in Crescent Moon Harbor.

Crescent Moon Harbor! There are villas, beaches, seafood restaurants and sunbathing places there! Marcus recalled the introduction of Crescent Moon Harbor. He felt that he couldn't wait any longer. He finally found a chance to hand over the work to the Marquis of the Stag and the Duke of the Moon. The days before were really not for human beings.

Just as Marcus was ambitiously preparing to go to Crescent Harbor to enjoy a beach trip.

Rand was indeed doing his work with some headaches.

Now that autumn is halfway over, there are always a lot of things to do in autumn. After autumn, there is still the continuation of the part-time job bill and there is still a lot of work to be done.

Then comes next year, when that group of elves will be close to being released from prison, so we also need to prepare in advance.

Apart from territorial matters, there are also many national affairs that Marcus has assigned to himself.

Rand threw some of this to the Marquis of the Stag and dealt with some of it himself.

Finally, there are the matters of anti-vampire and anti-Blue King.

These matters have been fully entrusted to Rand.

"Who are the top professionals dispatched from the country?" Rand looked at the document in his hand.

Now that the documents of the Sanctuary Force are all made of homemade paper, the shortage of parchment faced by the Sanctuary Force has finally been alleviated.

In fact, paper can be made not only from bamboo, but anything with fiber can be used. However, if there is no factory and large-scale production is carried out, it will lose money and may not be as cost-effective as parchment. That is why Rand waited until he could import bamboo from southern countries before starting to build a new paper mill.

"They are basically old acquaintances, the ones who protected you in the past when you were trying to resist the assassination attempt by the Bolen Kingdom." Olenna said.

"Okay, when will they arrive?" Rand asked.

"They should arrive in the next few days. Ms. Eleanor has been at the church school in the holiday resort. The other top volunteers have also left and will arrive soon."

"Then we can get ready." Rand's eyes were still fixed on the documents in his hand. "Prepare some more items to resist lightning and purgatory flames. I will lead the most senior professionals of the Frost Moon Kingdom to the Kingdom of Lensa later."

Although according to the plan, Rand will attract the hatred of the Blue King at the right time.

But Rand does not intend to reveal this secret now, otherwise if more people know it, there will always be a risk of it being exposed to the Blue King.

And if the fact that Rand could attract the hatred of the Blue King was not exposed, then the vanguard of the anti-Blue King this time would definitely be the Kingdom of Rensa.

The Kingdom of Lensa, which lost its queen because of the Azure King and now has vampires raging in the country, must be the country that is most resolute in opposing the Azure King.

And we just need a sufficiently determined opponent to take the lead.

Another point is that the Kingdom of Lensa is quite powerful. The Kingdom of Lensa is a big country. Although it has lost its queen, it still has to face the army of the Coral Principality and the Purgatory Militia.

But the foundation was there, and the damage actually suffered was not too great, at least much smaller than the losses suffered by the Kingdom of Borun in the Tide of the Undead incident.

This gives the Kingdom of Lensa enough strength to take the lead in fighting against the Blue King.

Rand will also lead the strong men of the Frost Moon Kingdom to the Kingdom of Lensa to fight against vampires and the Blue King. This has another significant advantage, that is, if the battlefield is not placed in the Dukedom of the Moon Phase, the loss to infrastructure will be much smaller.

…

Kingdom of Bolan.

Chad, a nascent missionary of the Torch Church and Ranta's partner, is analyzing the situation.

"At present, we have made a lot of arrangements in various parts of the Kingdom of Bolun, and the strong men from various countries have already set off for the Kingdom of Lunsa. When the strong men are in place, our mission will be completed. At that time, I will take you back to the Dukedom of the Moon Phase, or you can go back to the Kingdom of Lunsa if you want."

These words were spoken to the eldest son of Earl Dandelion. Now the Dandelion family has been scattered all over the place.

The eldest son was with Chad.

"Lord Rand is indeed far-sighted and strategic." said the eldest son of Earl Dandelion.

"It's no use trying to flatter Lord Rand." Chad raised his eyebrows. "Besides, Lord Rand won't hear you even if you flatter him."

This is obviously an ordinary and normal task, and it cannot be called a strategy at all.

The eldest son of Earl Dandelion shook his head: "That's not what I meant."

Chad rubbed his ears, ready to listen to the eldest son of the Earl praising the great Lord Rand.

Chad had great respect for Rand, but he was tired of hearing other people praising Rand Nicholas.

His partner is Ranta, who admires his Lord Rand very much and would brag to him about what the great Lord Rand has done whenever he has the chance.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Chad admitted that Rand was indeed very powerful, otherwise Archbishop Kahn would not have decided to completely change the direction of the First Born Sect and cooperate with the Mother Goddess Sect, which seemed to be a cult before.

But he was really tired of hearing the flattery.

Not only his partner Ranta, but also people who usually work at the holiday villa or the upper sanctuary would often hear praises about Rand's deeds.

As expected, the eldest son of Count Dandelion praised: "If Lord Rand had attacked the Kingdom of Lensa or the Kingdom of Bolan when the Tide of the Dead was at its most violent, or if he had not provided a plan to the Kingdom of Lensa and the Kingdom of Bolan during the Poison of the Dead incident, then now, it would be the Frost Moon Kingdom that would face the vampires and the Azure King directly."

Chad raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the eldest son of Earl Dandelion was as smart as his father.

If Rand was not far-sighted enough, then he would have definitely achieved a lot of results and expanded his territory by backstabbing the Kingdom of Bolen and the Kingdom of Lensa when they attacked the City of the Dead.

But Rand did not do that.

In the case of the Poison of the Dead, Rand did not add insult to injury.

So now, the Kingdom of Rensa has become the gateway to the Dukedom of the Moon, and the Kingdom of Bolun has become the scapegoat.

"Smart, but now let's think about how to survive." Chad smiled.

Chad took a letter from his subordinate.

Chad knew what the blood-stained letter contained.

When I opened it, it was as expected: "The Azure King has been discovered in the territory of the Kingdom of Bolun, and some of our colleagues have already died."

…

The Azure King is a young man with blue hair.

Thunder gathered in his hands.

The Dandelion family was smart and fled away in different places.

This made it more difficult for him to track down the enemy.

But he is not completely helpless.

People leave traces when they pass by; wild geese leave sounds when they pass by.

As the king and the controller of thunder, the Blue King has perception abilities far beyond those of ordinary people.

Many of these people thought they were misleading, but in fact they were just providing more clues for Rommel, the Blue King.

The Blue King gathered the thunder in his hand.

All that was left were charred corpses.

"Rat, it's just a rat." The Blue King looked coldly.

…

Half a month later.

Chad's eyes were bloodshot.

"Something's wrong. Our hiding has no effect on the Blue King." There were already quite a few letters on Chad's desk, some stained with blood, some not.

But they all mean the same answer.

sacrifice.

"We can't hide it from him." Chad concluded. He looked at the eldest son of Earl Dandelion. "What do you think?"

The eldest son of Count Dandelion shook his head: "I don't know. There is too little information about the king in this world. We only know that they are much more powerful than the top professionals, but there are no specific details. We have no idea how powerful the king is, and whether they have any methods that are difficult for us to understand."

The eldest son of the Dandelion Count said bitterly: "Perhaps a being like the King, such as the Blue King Rommel, can communicate directly with Thunder and let the heaven and earth tell him the location of the enemy?"

"I saw a vampire." Chad frowned. Now Chad has returned to his former elegance, but he is not in a good mood.

They had no experience in confronting the king, and their intelligence on the king was basically blank.

In the eyes of mortals, there is actually not much difference between the existence of a king and a natural disaster.

It is impossible to guess their emotions, and it is impossible to resist their power.

It is hard to imagine how to effectively resist the unknown.

"We can't stay here any longer. Let's leave now." Chad made a decision after thinking, "Let's go back to the Kingdom of Lensa. There should be enough strong people there. We will be safe there."

The eldest son of Earl Dandelion thought so too. Earl Dandelion looked at Chad and was very envious of Rand's talent pool.

Among the two church members working abroad, Ranta is smart and decisive, while Chad is thoughtful but flexible. As for the Dandelion family, only the old butler is reliable.

As for the others, there are no truly reliable talents.

And obviously, Rand Nicholas has many more talents like Ranta and Chad.

And if Rand were here, then Rand would tell him that instead of envying, it is better to cultivate it himself. From the small classroom in the "nest" at the beginning, to the small classroom at the foot of the mountain later, and then to the church school, Rand has never given up cultivating talents.

Among them, talents like Ranta continue to emerge.

All I can say is that hard work pays off.

More than eight years of continuous talent cultivation has now brought Rand many unexpected rewards.

In the future, Rand will surely benefit greatly from his cultivation of talents.
