The lord is red again.

Chapter 547: Keep Signing
"Welcome back."

In the royal castle, without anyone else's gaze, Queen Rania threw herself into Linde's arms. This time her voice was softer, as if she was confessing something, full of emotion.

Linde bent down slightly and put his arms around her shoulders. There was a big difference in their body sizes, and Raniya, who had been exercising for many years, looked a little petite in his arms.

Neither side spoke, just quietly feeling the moment.

Queen Rania entered Linde's arms and tried to tell him about her experiences during this period, including the difficulties of many battles and some interesting experiences. She also wanted to ask about Linde's experiences, but she felt that keeping silent was the better choice at this moment.

Linde was thinking about other things. Forgive him for being distracted with the beauty in his arms. He didn't want to share his feelings and thoughts. They each had their own things to do.

If Raniya asked him if he came back for the Kingdom of Rand, or for her, maybe he would have to lie.

The only reason for him to come back was the things in the Xingzi Mine.

Going further is obviously more attractive to Lind than romance. Feelings are naturally irreplaceable, but one has to be alive to have the opportunity to experience them.

The sound of footsteps was heard.

The two of them looked towards the door in tacit understanding, and saw the Minister of Finance Dorothy Griffin, who was wearing glasses.

Her appearance hasn't changed much, but her reputation among the undead has been bad recently. As the Minister of Finance, she deliberately targeted the undead and caused their prices to soar. If she didn't have a pretty face, she might have become the unlucky NPC who was attacked.

The undead think that NPC is just a program, so they are all cursing the dog planner. No one really attacks the pretty NPC girl standing in front of the stage. They are still very civilized... Of course, this is only done to NPCs who are good-looking and have XP. If it is a black-skinned Tiger tank model, the undead will definitely not be polite.

It would be fine if he had a kind heart, but if he was ugly and had a vicious mouth, he would definitely die a miserable death.

"It seems I came at the wrong time."

Dorothy raised her hand and gently adjusted her glasses, then walked over slowly.

The aura of an intellectual strong woman made Lind subconsciously believe that what would greet her would be a violent verbal attack.

He is a good speaker, and not only will he not be scolded for copying lines from Earth's literature, but the immortals will feel deeply drawn into the story after listening to him.

But he is not very good at swearing. It is more suitable for him to kill the enemy and wait for the enemy to shut up completely before swearing.

It's just that the enemies Linde has encountered over the years have all been very well-trained.

Lind was not frightened. He released the hand that was hugging Rania and said to Dorothy, "Do you need my hug?"

What he didn't expect was that Dorothy actually took two quick steps and rushed into his arms. With his physical strength, he could remain motionless even if the flying dragon outside crashed its head into his arms.

But the magic of magic lies in the degree of control over the body.

On the left is the Queen and on the right is the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

How come he didn't know that Dorothy had a crush on him?

However, Dorothy's next words made him feel a little relieved.

"Welcome back." She huddled in Linde's arms, the hot breath from her words spraying on his chest.

Lind, who was already accustomed to enduring high temperatures, suddenly felt that the hot air exhaled by Dorothy when she spoke was a little hot, giving him goose bumps.

Linde held the two of them in his arms, lowered his head and whispered, "I'm back."

……

“…To sum up, we need a new plan!”

Lind looked at Dorothy, who was holding a document and adjusting her glasses while talking, and then looked at Rania, who began to yawn.

This is Dorothy. The one who threw herself into his arms before must have had her brain affected by the abyss, causing hallucinations.

Dorothy deeply analyzed the future development of the Rand Kingdom from the aspects of economy, military, talents, etc., and described in detail the goals she wanted to achieve.

I have to say that in terms of arrangements and planning, no one under Lind can compare to Dorothy.

but!

Lind shook his head: "You went into great detail, but it's unnecessary."

"Why?" Dorothy bent down and looked at Lind.

Her action was a bit redundant, because even if Linde was sitting, he would not be shorter than her. The continuous improvement of his strength allowed him to break through the growth limit of the human body. Unless he suppressed himself and forcibly changed his appearance, this was his most comfortable state.

Maybe in the future the difference in size between him and ordinary people will be even bigger.

"The undead are not our enemies, but they are also not our friends. Only by constantly observing and perfecting various rules can we deal with the undead." He emphasized, "Don't try to control them. All we can do is guide them."

Lind simply stated what he disagreed with.

"We don't need to make the undead the core. They can indeed create huge value, but if we rely too much on them, we will lose more. Just like before, the undead would fight tooth and nail for an ordinary moving or escorting job. But what about now?"

Dorothy frowned and said, "Now they will choose to ignore those with low returns, no, even those with high returns."

She took out a document.

"When the undead complete a mission now, they will receive rewards including experience points, points, and gold coins. However, even if they are given enough rewards, they may not necessarily accept the mission."

"Because they have already received the rewards they wanted," Lind said, "and they are not interested in the remaining rewards."

Or maybe some undead like the "wheelchair", which is an equipment set that can be brushed up by a fool. Basically, one person on the Internet has discovered a particularly versatile weapon and equipment, and then the whole network follows suit.

Currently, the most powerful wheelchair is the one that can gain favor from NPCs. If you make friends with them, the NPCs will help you in fights. The most recognized wheelchair is of course Lind Armann himself. He has always been the strongest wheelchair, and no one has replaced him so far.

After acquiring a set of equipment called "graduation", the undead will lose interest in completing tasks, and will do other things, such as building houses and decorating huts, racing games, synthesizing undead, exploring, etc., until the current "graduation set" lags far behind, and they will continue to brush.

Until now, there has never been a stamp collector who is obsessed with "collecting everything". It's not that they don't want to, but they simply can't do it. The three Novice Village continents plus the Demon Land have a total area larger than the Earth. Different things happen every day and every moment, and too many out-of-print "plots" disappear completely after they happen.

Dorothy asked, “What should we do?”

"Make weapons and props more attractive to them." Lind said, "This will never change."

This is called updating.

The only way is to keep updating and strengthening the game, forcing the undead to keep buying in pursuit of the numerical values ​​and the appearance they like.

It’s a pity that this is not a real game world. In the game, you can adjust the numerical values ​​of weapons for the sake of gameplay and balance, turning the strong into weak and the weak into strong, but it is absolutely impossible here.

All they can do is to become stronger than before, which requires research capabilities. If it weren't for the support of the undead's terrifying resources, Lind would not be able to hold on.

One day's research funding is enough to build a country in any corner of the continent.

"In addition, we will continue to create new entertainment items, and we will also add festivals from different countries and regions, festivals after each battle victory, etc. to the celebration to ensure that there will always be celebrations."

This is also what Lind has always wanted to do but has not had the time to do.

The difficulty is not high, but the population is not enough.

"Also, having children."

Mechanical servants can also issue tasks, but the ones that really have an effect and influence must be the population under their control.

"Don't we need to go to the devil's land?" Rania asked. "The undead will continue to emerge from this land."

Linde pointed down.

“We cannot abandon our homeland either.”

Without the Novice Village, he would lose the opportunity to bind the undead to his ship. Even if one out of ten people knew and joined Lind's forces, it would still be an advantage for him.

It is very necessary to ensure "orthodoxy". Only by standing on the commanding heights can you point fingers at others.

Otherwise, how can we start a war without any justification?

"So, there is no need to treat the undead as talents that must be recruited to work for us, or as mercenaries."

"We never grant titles to mercenaries."

"There are 30 barons in the Kingdom of Rand."

"Maybe more? There's no way to count them anymore, and we're afraid to hold the banquet."

The scene of hundreds of thousands of barons gathered together was simply terrifying.

The two of them talked to each other, and then looked at Lind at the same time.

"But we didn't carve out a piece of land," said Lind.

It's just the title of baron, it doesn't matter.

Moreover, if the undead want to become a baron, no matter whether they spend money or grind, each one of them will generate terrifying value. Dorothy has also roughly calculated that the value created by the birth of an undead baron will exceed the income of a baron with a fiefdom for nearly 20 to 30 years.

Judging from this aspect alone, the Kingdom of Rand is already rich enough to rival a country.

If not for this, the Rand Kingdom would not have been able to conquer almost the entire Xilu Continent, because with the undead as economic support, they could plunder from both ends and become richer and richer.

So it is easy to understand why Dorothy regards the undead as a top priority. She knows that they are disloyal, but what if? No one can resist the huge profits generated by the undead.

He also planned to grant those barren fiefs to the undead, let them help him develop them, and then have them pay taxes.

However, problems may easily arise after the distribution of power. As lords appear one after another, some undead with wild minds may take the initiative to attack forces such as the Rand Kingdom and the Black Swamp Kingdom.

No, it’s not maybe, it’s definitely!
They will definitely attack.

"None of this matters. We need to improve our strength," Lind said. "We need to be stronger."

When they become stronger, the undead will automatically give up their little tricks and become more loyal than anyone else.

The meeting of the three did not last too long. Dorothy was ready to change her plan. She had always included the undead in her plans, but if she followed Lind's plan, it would undoubtedly be more important to ignore the undead and focus only on developing herself.

That day, Lind stayed in Raniya's room.

Raniya, who successfully became a ring knight, had her body fully strengthened, but she still lost to Linde.

Linde signed in Raniya's mouth after a long time.

Glaring at him, Rania spat out.

"Mo Di, what's the situation?" Raniya lay in Linde's arms.

It makes sense that when the Duke and the Queen were having a secret conversation in the room, they would speak candidly in order to ensure that what they said was true.

"No progress yet." Lind said, "The undead's hearts are not in it, and I can't drive them."

That's the downside of having too much freedom.

Lind still remembers a game played by a cuckolded man. The main storyline was clearly about saving the princess from the very beginning, but people who played that game never set saving the princess as their goal. Even Lind himself was the same. Whether it was the first or second generation, he did everything except saving the princess.

The same is true for Undead now, because they are addicted to something and there are too many interesting things to do, so promoting the main plot becomes unimportant.

Unless there is something forcing them to move forward, or they are driven by greater interests.

Lind himself was not too anxious about this, as he had already established a firm foothold in the Demonic Land. As long as he proceeded step by step, taking over Misty Rain City was a foregone conclusion. Moreover, his strength was also accumulating rapidly. With the undead as "spies", he was searching for materials, potion formulas, knowledge of strange civilizations, etc. There was no resistance at all.

He just needs to sit back and enjoy the results, or step in to grab the ball at the critical moment.

Be wary of astrologers' divinations.

Alien planets and eyeballs larger than the continent.

The former is the enemy of the world, the latter is Lind’s own enemy.

"What are your plans next?"

"I plan to take Miko away."

Lind felt the arrogant hand clenching.

"You can also come with me." He did not hesitate to extend his invitation.

"No, the Rand Kingdom needs a queen." Rania shook her head, "I will protect this place. This is also your hometown."

“I’ll be back often.”

"Like before, come back every few years?"

Raniya sat astride the bed, expressing her dissatisfaction in the manner of a queen.

Lind raised his hands and interlocked his fingers with his own, using them as reins.

He almost forgot that Rania was once a very famous female knight, but later the "curse" of the old noble bloodline made her dare not try extraordinary powers, so she became a "weak queen" in people's eyes.

She is not some delicate queen.

"Maybe after a battle, or maybe even sooner." Lind said, "But I have another idea."

"what?"

"Give birth to a child, place a new heir on the throne, and you'll be free," he joked.

Lind didn't care at all about the child's last name.

"Once is not enough!" Raniya said seriously.

"I'm just kidding."

"I take it seriously."

The next day, Lind left Goliath early in the morning.

Having a child is not that easy, and his and Raniya's life levels are much higher than ordinary people. The stronger they are, the more difficult it will be to have a child. This is the law of nature.

So he not only signed in yesterday, but also kept signing in again.
