Divine Kingship

Chapter 130 We are the Holy Church!!!
It was summer, and Rand lay dead on a huge stone chair in the lord's hall.

The weather was getting hotter, and Rand couldn't figure out how he had managed to survive last summer. Perhaps the pressure of survival was too great at that time, so he didn't pay much attention to the heat.

This place can be considered the north, but not that far north. It is the border area between the south and the north.

In short, summer is still hot.

The stone lord's chair was large enough for him to lie down.

This reminded him of the White King. If the White King was next to him at this moment, he would definitely feel very cool.

Ellie held two small fans in her hands, one to fan herself, and the other to fan Rand with some disdain, looking at Rand holding the huge, crystal, rosy red gem obtained from the Black and Brown Marquis Theater.

"Don't you have hands?" Ellie glared, "If you feel hot, fan yourself."

Rand turned over and said, "Do you have the ability to cool down like the White King? I really need it."

Ellie glared again, "If I could, I wouldn't be fanning myself here."

Olenna covered her mouth and laughed. She was originally the one fanning Rand, and Ellie came over and saw that she was a little angry, so she came over to take over, but she felt very hot too, so she fanned herself with a fan in each hand.

Ellie looked at Olena again and complained, "Olenna, how can you spoil him like this? Sooner or later he will become a useless person."

Olenna didn't answer, but covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled, leaning on the armrest of the huge stone lord's chair.

Ellie patted Rand's head gently with her small fan and asked, "Why did you ask us to come here?"

Rand slowly sat up straight and said, "I was wondering, is there a difference between good and evil power?"

"Of course not." Ellie replied, "You can't say that those who use swords are evil and those who use magic are righteous."

"I mean, why are we a cult and the Torch Church is an orthodox church? This is unfair." Rand raised the ruby ​​orb in his hand.

"Haha." Ellie laughed and stopped fanning herself. "Why do you still care about this? I think we are the Holy Church, and the Torch Church is the evil cult."

Ellie looked so beautiful when she smiled, Rand thought. In fact, when he tried to put on a stern face to show that he was fierce, he was also very cute.

Olena on the side agreed: "I also think that we are the Holy Church. You don't have to care so much."

"No, that's not what I meant." Rand shook his head. "I was wondering why the people of the Torch Church could use the power of the Torch Goddess to dispel the power of other sects and harm the undead."

"If the burning power unique to the Torch Church is the characteristic of the Torch Goddess, then what about the power to repel other sects and the power to disperse the undead?" Rand thought, "I mean, can our Fertility Goddess sect do it?"

Ta-ta-ta…

It was not the sound of shoes stepping on the ground, nor the rustling of chains dragging on the ground.

And it was incoherent. Rand had no idea how the sound was made, but he was sure that Elsa did it on purpose.

Elsa was perfectly capable of making her steps soundless, but she wouldn't deliberately walk silently unless necessary.

"coming."

Even though she was dragging two apparently heavy iron cages with one hand, Elsa appeared in the lord's hall very abruptly instead of walking out slowly.

There was a zombie and a skeleton imprisoned in an iron cage, and a ghost imprisoned alone in another cage with an unknown spell on it.

"Now it's time for a test." Rand walked up to Elsa with a smile and used the towel in his hand to wipe the sweat off Elsa's forehead.

Then, because it was applied to the wrong place, Elsa slapped it away with her hand.

Rand took out the huge ruby ​​orb and inserted it into the ghost's body.

——Sizzle
A slightly piercing scream.

After a brief twist and shake, the ghost disappeared.

The effect is outstanding. Just a touch will affect the ghost and kill it instantly. If it is crushed into powder and the contact area is expanded, it is estimated that the ghost will be killed in an instant.

Of course, this is based on the assumption that the power of this rosy red gem will not disappear after it is crushed into powder.

Except for Rand, everyone present was stunned.

No one had ever thought that the rosy red orb of the God of Struggle could actually dispel ghosts. Subconsciously, the God of Struggle's sect should have mixed with anti-order creatures like ghosts, instead of being like it is now.

Rand slowly stretched his hand back and walked to another iron cage.

The next thing to test is the ability to damage skeletons and zombies. After all, although they are all undead, skeletons and zombies do have flesh and blood.

The rosy red orb could not directly destroy the flesh of skeletons and zombies, but Rand forcibly crushed the skeleton's bones with his other hand, and after stuffing the rosy red orb into the skeleton's skull, he easily killed them.

The same goes for zombies. When their rotten and smelly brains come into contact with the rosy orb, they are immediately killed.

Whether it's ghosts, zombies, or skeletons.

Rand wiped his hands with the towel he had used to wipe Elsa's sweat.

It turns out that the effects are very significant.

"I can't say much else, but it seems that the Crimson Orb of the God of Struggle has a significant killing power against the undead." Rand came to the conclusion.

"Besides, I asked Seth to come over and test it before. After Seth's tentacles touched the Rose-Red Orb, he felt pain very quickly. Conversely, the Rose-Red Orb also shrank a little after touching Seth's tentacles." Rand sat back on the huge stone lord's chair. "So I speculate that the power of God can effectively harm the undead and repel the power of other gods."

The only strange thing is that this kind of thing did not happen to him. Rand has both the power of the Black Goat Mother and the power of the God of Struggle, and the two do not affect each other.

"So we are really qualified to become an orthodox church, right?" Ellie's mind always works the fastest, and she immediately guessed Rand's thoughts.

Rand shook his head. "Well, I didn't think that far. I just thought that if the Torch Church could deal with the undead, then why couldn't our Fertility Goddess Sect do the same? The Torch Church would make money from the savings, so we can make some money too."

"Hahahaha," Elsa couldn't help but laugh, and then everyone laughed, Ellie laughed loudly, and Olenna chuckled gently.

Everyone knew that Rand was obsessed with money, but he was too serious just now and led Ellie astray.

During this time, adventurers have been exploring the Haunted Iron Mine, and Rand has received several reports recently.

There must be something special in the iron mine, so that the number of undead is much greater than Rand imagined. However, high-level undead only appear in extremely deep places, so there is no need to worry too much.

And it’s not all bad.

Although the iron ore is indeed a poor iron ore, it may be due to the existence of something unknown in the iron ore that caused the appearance of the undead. In addition to ordinary iron, this haunted iron mine also produces some more precious associated minerals and some rare herbs.

Originally, Rand was planning to slowly recruit people to mine, but now he has given up the idea.

The adventurers' labor can be exploited again.

Now many high-level adventurers have come to the holiday villa, and there are even suspected high-level professionals.

And due to the popularity of the ruins, the entrance to the ruins is now crowded with people. It is time to develop a second adventure location for adventurers.

Rand is ready to allow adventurers to go mining with pickaxes, and also allow them to collect associated minerals and rare herbs.

But they will not be asked to clean up the undead in the iron mines.

But how can we collect minerals and herbs without clearing out the undead?
If you want to deal with the undead effectively, you have to buy the tools or consumables of the Torch Church.

Now Rand is going to study the teachings of the Mother Goddess. If that doesn't work, he will go hunt down the people of the God of Struggle. In short, this money cannot be earned by the people of the Torch Sect. Moreover, due to the contraction of the Torch Church, these things will soon be in short supply.

Then, just collect taxes at the export.

Since Rand did not require the adventurers to clean up the undead, he would not pay even if the adventurers killed more undead.

Moreover, this iron mine is the property of Viscount Lander. If they are allowed to enter and gain profits, then it wouldn't be excessive to charge a higher tax, right?
Rand planned to take two-thirds and leave one-third for the adventurers.

This is already a very generous distribution ratio, considering that these adventurers have to take risks to mine under the interference of the undead.

After Rand's rough calculations, even at this ratio, it would be more profitable than taking risks in the ruins of the hideout.

Because the price of iron ore is very high now and is gradually rising.

so perfect!

All problems were solved at once!
Not only do you not have to spend manpower, material resources, and human lives to collect iron ore, you can also recover the money that adventurers earn from the iron ore by selling services to adventurers.

Rand plans to build a special road from the resort to the haunted iron mine, and then set up a special round-trip carriage shuttle to solve all the concerns of adventurers.

How could there be such a perfect profession as adventurer in the world!

It's time to deepen cooperation with the Adventurer's Association, but the most important thing at the moment is to study whether the Cult of the Goddess of Plenty can produce similar things.

It's a pity that Taner and Fenris are no longer in the hideout, otherwise if we discuss it with them, the research speed will definitely be accelerated.

……

At the border between Crescent Territory and Snow Fox Territory, a marauding team consisting of Earl Greenleaf and other nobles had bypassed the border and headed for the territory of the Southern Kingdom.

The Brown Moon Deer Raiding Team is still preparing.

But Rand was not in a hurry at all. Since this Snow Fox Countess could become a disgusting fly in the eyes of the White King, she must be quite capable. He planned to make full preparations before letting the raiding team set off.

The looting team of the young Earl of Green Leaf seemed to be in a hurry, fearing that they would not be able to get anything if they arrived too late.

Just in time for someone to go explore the route and test the quality of this Snow Fox Countess, Rand was more than happy to see the situation.

Now he is sending letters to Taner to discuss and analyze the Snow Fox Countess.

Countess Snow Fox and Count Flying Fox, formerly Grand Duke of Needle Leaf, are relatives by marriage, but due to the tense relationship between the Southern Kingdom and the Northern Union, they don't have much contact nowadays.

But before, the Snow Fox Countess, as a member of the invaders from the Kingdom of Lensa, took a detour to the White Kingdom and plundered the White Kingdom while the White King was fighting against the orcs in the north. Rand guessed that the information was provided by the current Countess of Flying Fox.

Therefore, we must also pay attention to the looting activities in the Snow Fox Territory, so as to prevent Count Feihu from providing information to Countess Snow Fox.
