Chapter 538: The White Country Seems to Becoming Our Own Force
In short, there were no other episodes along the way except for the Sunshine Adventure Team.
Nowadays, it is actually faster to travel from the Dukedom of the Moon to the White Kingdom by sea, but it is not too slow to take the specialty route either.
Another advantage of traveling by land is that it can prevent seasickness, which can cause you to be unable to fight immediately after landing.
Also, the relationship between Rand and the Kingdom of Borun is actually very bad now. It would be very troublesome if we encounter the fleet of the Kingdom of Borun on the sea.
At the coldest time of winter, Rand's convoy arrived at the royal city of the White Kingdom.
The thirteenth son of the Black and Brown Marquis said to Rand: "The White Kingdom's capital is so magnificent."
"You can take a walk here. It will take some time before we actually launch the attack on the orcs." Rand patted the shoulder of the thirteenth son of the Black and Brown Marquis and said.
The thirteenth son of the Black and Brown Marquis has now reached adulthood.
Back then, when Rand promised him that he would take him to find his father, the Thirteenth Son of the Marquis of Black and Brown was just an ignorant teenager, about ten to eleven years old. At that time, the Thirteenth Son of the Marquis of Black and Brown was only as tall as Rand's waist.
And now, he is only slightly shorter than Rand.
The thirteenth son of the Black and Brown Marquis immediately nodded and left.
Rand looked towards the north. The chances of the Black and Brown Marquis surviving in that situation when he went to the North were obviously slim.
To be precise, it is almost impossible. In that situation, even with the best medical care, the Black and Brown Marquis would only live for one or two years lying in bed.
But now more than a year or two have passed.
Rand believed that the thirteenth son of the Black and Brown Marquis should already be aware of this outcome, but it was still necessary to bring him to the north to take a look.
It is not only about fulfilling the agreement between Rand and the Thirteenth Son of the Black and Brown Marquis, but also about fulfilling some of their original obsessions.
After that, Rand could arrange for the thirteenth son of the Black and Brown Marquis to inherit the Black and Brown family's territory. He would no longer have to manage the Black and Brown Marquis's territory to a certain extent, which could be regarded as repaying some of the favor he had received back then.
After the thirteenth son of the Black and Brown Marquis left, Rand no longer thought about these old things, and walked along the streets of the White Kingdom's capital with Ellie.
I have been to the White Kingdom's royal city, Rand, several times and have become somewhat familiar with it.
The White Kingdom's capital had always been like this, vast and a bit barbaric. Now its barbaric color has been alleviated a lot, because the industries introduced from the Dukedom of the Moon Phase have given the White Kingdom's capital a few more industrial characteristics.
Although factories producing juice, soap and paper are far from being real industries.
Before we can truly obtain grain varieties with a high enough output ratio and master sufficiently efficient farming methods.
Industrialization is impossible.
Because enough people must be invested in growing food, otherwise famine will occur.
RAND is now researching types of food that can produce high yields in the north.
As for why Rand is so concerned about the food problem in the White Country.
That was naturally because to Rand, the White Country was no longer considered an outside force.
Ellie is the first heir to the White Kingdom, and Ellie is Rand's wife.
Then there is the current King of the White Kingdom, the White King Bolan. Although Rand and the White King have no strange relationship, Rand is very sure that even if the White King does not accept him in the end, it is even more impossible for him to choose someone else.
So no matter what the final result is, whether the White King Borlan finally accepts Rand, or Ellie inherits the White Kingdom, it seems that the White Kingdom will eventually become the property of his Nicholas family.
Although the heirs of the White Kingdom will still use the surname of Calant, it will actually become a territory controlled by Rand.
And a very crucial point is that Rand's reputation in the White Kingdom is very high.
When Rand first came to the White Kingdom, he was very unwelcome because he married Ellie Karant, the pearl of the White Kingdom.
Then Rand proved himself. Rand's bravery was unmatched among the younger generation. Obviously, he was not as weak as he looked.
Then Rand led the army of the White Kingdom to block the orcs at the border.
Today, many knights who participated in that battle still talk about the dangers of the war and Rand's far-sightedness.
As a result, many nobles of the White Kingdom later sent their children to Rand to serve as the White King's personal guards in order to share some of Rand's glory and learn from him.
Everyone knows today that Rand is absolutely worthy of their pearl, Ellie.
Nowadays, in the White Kingdom, a country that advocates bravery, knights, ministers, and ordinary citizens all respect Rand very much.
The only pity is that Rand is too self-righteous.
The nobles of the White Kingdom also sent many noble women to Rand.
If Rand favors them, then these women will become Ellie's team in the Duke of Moon Phase. As the mistress, Ellie will always need some team members. It is also a great honor for those noble women who have no inheritance rights to support Prince Ellie and work for him.
Of course, Ellie acquiesced and even supported this matter.
Rand had no interest in this.
Rand is in good health and will not be strained or even have his life shortened by partying every night.
But Rand really had no interest in the women who were sent here, and he didn't know how the ancient emperors in his previous life could tolerate three thousand beauties in the harem.
Anyway, in Rand's eyes, although these women sent here were not ugly, and some could even be called beauties, they were far inferior to the top leaders of the Holy Land.
Anyway, Rand couldn't eat it, probably because he had been spoiled by the Sanctuary's upper echelons.
Rand enters the palace of the White Kingdom.
There was no attempt to stop him, and no one went back to report. It was obvious that his brother-in-law, King Borlan, had already made arrangements.
He walked through the red-carpeted glazed tile corridor, stood before the White King's throne, and bowed.
Duchess Ellie, who was standing by, also lifted her skirt slightly and saluted with Rand.
"Long time no see. I miss you so much." Rand hoped that the contents of the White King's letter would be returned intact.
The White King, Bolan, waved his hand to dismiss his attendants.
Then he opened his arms and hugged his sister Ellie, and after hesitating for a moment, he hugged Rand.
They didn't start reminiscing about the past, as they had already done so through their constant correspondence.
So I got straight to the point as soon as I opened my mouth.
"The situation regarding the orcs has been discussed in the letter. Although there are still some doubts, we can generally see what Grand Duke Vladimir is planning." The White King Bolan said, "If he wants to descend, he will need enough sacrifices to break the passage between the two planes."
A long time ago, Rand had summarized the conditions required for Grand Duke Vladimir to descend into the main world.
It requires "water", rules that need to be broken, timing, and now it seems that sacrifice is also needed.
If the orcs really turn into purgatory on a large scale, then the "water" condition can no longer be stopped. The time is bound to come and cannot be stopped.
As for the issue of rules, there was no way Rand would give up the two hand bones of the Scourge Sect.
If the sacrifice could be prevented now, the chances of Grand Duke Vladimir's plan failing would greatly increase.
"Can you tell me about the doubts you mentioned?" Although the logic was smooth, Rand still did not intend to miss any details. In such a major event that determines the fate of the world, any details and doubts could be fatal.
The White King nodded and took Rand and Ellie to her study. The palace hall was too deserted, while the study was relatively comfortable and safer.
"It's actually a very simple question. The orcs have lost a lot of people in the previous invasion, and such a population cannot be restored in a short period of time." The White King handed Rand a lot of summarized intelligence on the bookshelf.
Rand looked through the intelligence while listening to the White King's narration.
"But the destruction of life by purgatory is almost irreversible. After purgatory, even if you recuperate in the future, you will quickly and almost irreversibly move towards death." Bolan continued to explain the doubts.
"This is very strange. Only a large-scale purgatory can create an environment that allows Grand Duke Vladimir to stay in the main plane. This means that a large number of orcs will need to die. The orcs don't have a large population to begin with. If we support Grand Duke Vladimir, it may even lead to the brink of genocide."
The first priority of a group must be survival.
At least the White King was certain that the hatred between orcs and humans was far from the point where the orcs would destroy humans even at the cost of their own genocide.
"There is also the issue of sacrifice. Sacrifice must be large-scale and of high quality. If the orcs do not intend to sacrifice their own people, then they will need to sacrifice humans. And can the orcs really launch a large-scale attack on humans and plunder enough people for sacrifice?"
These are all very strange points. If the orcs really don't care about anything, then these can be done, but why? Grand Duke Vladimir has betrayed the orcs once, and the probability of the orcs trusting him again and risking the destruction of the tribe is too low.
At least Rand, the White King, and Ellie don't think so.
"I understand." Rand nodded. "It is indeed very suspicious. The next investigation and the destruction of Grand Duke Vladimir's plan should focus on this aspect."
The White King, Ellie and Rand easily reached a consensus.
"Then if there is no problem, you can take a rest and we will set out tomorrow." The White King Bolan said with a serious face, "My intelligence personnel have discovered some altars set up by the orcs. We will start to destroy them tomorrow."
It seems that the strategy that the White King has in mind is similar to the one that Ellie has in mind.
They all planned to use the White King's own high mobility and high destructive power to carry out a bomber-like targeted destruction strategy.
Can we just say they are worthy of being “brother and sister”?
Tonight should be the last time to relax.
There are still many doubts in the fight against Grand Duke Vladimir, as the White King mentioned.
But regardless of whether these altars currently being investigated are a deception of Grand Duke Vladimir, this is the first thing that needs to be dealt with.
The altars are definitely the primary target. We can't just ignore them just because we suspect a conspiracy.
Rand stopped thinking about it and began to prepare and rest.
Since only Ellie and Rand came this time, they no longer had to live outside.
Ellie and Rand can just live in the palace.
Then……
Rand, Ellie and Bolan appeared in the same bathroom.
Since serious matters had already been discussed in the palace and the study, Ellie thought that now, during this break before work, she should move on to some…personal matters.
So in the White King, while taking a shower in the bathroom.
Ellie took Rand and broke in, avoiding all the maids in the palace.
The White King's perception is indeed amazing, so it didn't happen that when Rand and Ellie broke in, Bolan was changing clothes or was just naked.
When Rand and Ellie saw Bolan, she was already wearing a dress made of ice crystals, and sitting by the bathtub she looked like an ice queen.
The White King frowned and looked at the two people: "What are you doing here?"
Ellie winked playfully.
Then he dragged Rand into the bath.
The White King held his forehead helplessly.
Then he moved a little further away and entered the bath. The mist in the bath made it difficult for Rand to see the body of the White King.
In fact, if Rand had come in alone, Bolan would have let Rand watch.
But in this situation, Bolan has to take some protective measures.
She couldn't let Ellie and Rand get any further.
Bolan usually disguises himself as a man to outsiders.
Rand knows that Berlan is actually female, Ellie knows that Rand knows that Berlan is actually female, and Berlan knows that Ellie knows that Rand knows that Berlan is actually female.
But this kind of thing cannot be exposed in front of others, especially in the bathtub, otherwise it will be too embarrassing.
And what's more, Bolan knew very well that she had to protect herself and not let Rand and Ellie get any further.
Otherwise, the situation will be very difficult to deal with.
As a king, her military power allows her to eliminate almost anyone who has evil intentions towards her.
But not Ellie and Rand.
If Rand and Ellie came over and tried to do something, she would have to run away.
Although as a king, it is not kingly to run away when encountering problems.
But can she still do anything to Rand or Ellie?
If you get hurt, then...
So after Ellie and Rand entered the bathtub, Bolan moved a little further away and immersed himself completely in the water, leaving only his head leaning on the steps, looking up at the ceiling of the bathroom.
Seeing that Bolan was so alert, Ellie and Rand did not continue to follow him, but started chatting instead.
"Sister, is there anything you want to do?" Ellie asked casually.
"I will be satisfied if I see you doing well." Bolan gave the standard answer.
Ellie blew some bubbles in the pool and muttered, "Can you please be sincere? This answer is so cunning."
"Then I would like to live somewhere warmer for a while, if there is such an opportunity." Bolan still looked at the ceiling and spoke slowly and softly.
The sound was as soft as a cloud, but Ellie and Rand could still hear it clearly.
