Chapter 79: The Fox Borrows the Tiger's Power (Additional Updates, Please Read Later)
Lisa is also going to the war this time, so she is putting on makeup.
As a free elf who was not a slave, she was quite unpopular in human territory.
But if she didn't take action and didn't reveal her iconic elf magic arrows, she could completely avoid being noticed as long as she dressed up.
It's just that they are too beautiful and have to pretend to be ugly. Several women in the den have this problem. Too high appearance will definitely bring trouble, and the den can't afford such trouble at this time.
If the second prince takes a fancy to a woman in the hideout, then things will really get bad.
This isn't the web drama from his previous life, where he can just act cool and then get slapped in the face. If this situation really happens, he'll probably have to bring out the White King to make them wary.
Originally, Ellie, Lysa, and Olenna didn't take it seriously. Maybe it was because their status was too high in the past, and no one dared to provoke them.
Elsa didn't care. She kept running around. Disguise was a common thing for her.
It was not until Rand persuaded them earnestly and told them many plots of online dramas and online novels he had watched in his previous life, making them deeply aware of what beauty is, that he successfully persuaded them to dress up in an ugly way.
In fact, Tanner was too handsome. Rand was worried that he would be entangled by a noble lady, but he had already shown his face before, and putting on makeup would be superfluous.
In short, this war will determine whether the nest can develop rapidly, and the top leaders of the nest will come out in full force.
Rand also needs to wear makeup.
The reason why Rand wears makeup is not because he is so handsome. At best, his appearance is just good-looking and a little handsome.
The problem is, he's a wanted criminal.
This was also the consideration when the Feng Rang Mercenary Group was previously led by Taner and Rand was stationed in the hideout.
However, the others present did not quite understand. Looking at their puzzled looks, Rand took out a well-preserved wanted poster.
Above is his portrait. If you don’t say there is some similarity, you can only say that they are exactly the same.
Ellie was silent for a while, then pointed to the face in the portrait and said, "His name is Rand, and your name is also Rand."
Rand nodded: "Yes."
"So you are the leader of the Nurturing Blood, Rand Cameron?" Ellie looked as if she had seen a ghost.
Rand shook his head: "The leader of Nurturing Blood is also a king after all. Do you think I look like one?"
A king-level professional wouldn't be unable to defeat Olenna.
In fact, Rand tried it. If he didn't use Blessing 2, he would not only fail to defeat Olenna, but also fail to defeat Ellie.
Ellie has a very solid foundation and her application of magic is ever-changing. After being beaten up, Rand had to admit that she is worthy of being a member of the protagonist group and is indeed a person with a promising future.
"What a coincidence?" Ellie was a little unconvinced.
Rand nodded: "I don't want to believe it either."
Ellie rolled her eyes. “I’m helping you with your makeup. If someone recognizes you, it’ll be a big deal.”
Now Ellie and Olenna have completely trusted Rand. At least when faced with the situation that Rand might be the leader of that terrifying cult, they chose to believe Rand without hesitation.
They have known Rand for almost a year, and it is clear what he wants to do during this time. A person like him cannot be the legendary leader of a terrifying cult who wants to turn the world into a hotbed.
Lysa, Olenna and Elsa, who were originally planning to watch Rand put on makeup casually, also came over to help.
Lysa had recognized him a long time ago, and to Elsa, it didn't matter what Rand was.
As soon as Rand took out the wanted warrant, they realized the seriousness of the problem.
In fact, it is normal that I couldn't recognize Rand's face before. It is the same in modern times. Except for the police, there are actually very few ordinary citizens who will carefully read the wanted poster and try to make a fortune.
Although the name Rand is well-known, not many people know what he looks like.
But I can't afford to take the risk. After all, they have the same name. Although there are many people named Rand, it would be a big problem if they look alike.
After everyone present had finished putting on their makeup, Rand led his men to the lord's hall, where Taner had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing that a group of people with different styles had become ordinary, Taner couldn't help but nodded, and he had some of the skills he had when he disguised himself and sneaked into the den.
Rand said, "I have a second layer of insurance."
Everyone present sat in their own seats. Now that Elsa had officially joined the den and became a formal member of it, she also got her own seat in the lord's hall, sitting in the third seat on the right.
Everyone was listening attentively. Although they were very close in private, Rand's prestige was very high in a public place like the Lord's Hall.
Everyone has great faith in Rand's choice and is willing to obey Rand's will.
Rand sat on his stone lord's chair covered with animal skins and said, "We can hide the Torchlight Church."
After hearing this, Taner, who had been very calm, could no longer sit still.
Rand continued to analyze: "Tan'er's dress is very similar to that of a paladin of the Torch Church."
In fact, Rand suspected that Taner was the apostate knight of the Torch Church, but he had no evidence.
Taner was already sweating profusely. Although he believed that even if his identity was exposed now, Rand would still choose to continue to trust him, he still felt uncomfortable when his vest was stripped.

"So I think the nobles of the Frost Moon Kingdom also think so. Otherwise, there are many things about our strength that are hard to explain, and our relationship with the White King is also hard to explain."
Everyone fell silent. Generally, only earls with real power were qualified to hire top-level professionals, and they were not necessarily able to do so. Generally, only the royal family could command multiple top-level professionals.
However, in such a small Crescent Moon Territory, there are two top-level professionals and one suspected top-level professional.
Although Lisa would not do this normally, it was still hard to explain.
But if this is interpreted as the Torch Church's stronghold in the Northern Union, it is understandable.
There are many powerful people in the Torch Church. Maybe there is a cardinal in the Torch Church who wants to get a piece of the pie in the Northern Union. This is completely explainable.
In peacetime, these noble royal families would certainly unite to resist the invasion of religious forces, but facing the impending civil war, they would certainly unite all the forces that could be united.
If we can really win the civil war, there will be plenty of extra fiefdoms and properties, and it is completely fine to give some to the people of the Torch Church.
"So we can completely disguise ourselves as the Torch Church, for example, a bishop wants to find a way out for his illegitimate son?" Rand blinked.
Taner breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed to be just a coincidence and he was not exposed. As expected, his level of traitor was such that even a wise man like Rand the God's Messenger could not see through it.
Then Rand continued, "Leave this matter to you, Taner. Do some disguise and make the people of the Second Prince believe that we are from the Torch Church. At least we have some connection with it."
In fact, Rand could also use the White King's skin, but doing so would easily make things difficult for him and end up doing everything for the White King. Doing so would also likely put Ellie and Olenna in danger.
The White King has many enemies outside. If he is targeted, Rand's cooperation with the White King may end early.
There is no such risk when using the Torch Church's skin.
Because the Torch Church will be destroyed sooner or later.
The reputation of the Torch Church is steadily declining, and it will soon lose its overwhelming influence on human countries, and will soon be out of reach of its hideout in the Frost Moon Kingdom.
At that time, Rand will have a lot of room for autonomy whether to continue to rely on the power of others or to change its flag.
When Taner heard this, cold sweat broke out on his back again.
He always felt that Rand had something else in mind, but he didn't dare to test it.
However, he was confident that he could disguise it as being related to the Torch Church, but he was a little worried that he might do it too well and be discovered.
He wasn't sure whether Rand had really figured out his identity.
Thank you for your support.
