Divine Kingship

Chapter 526: Purgatory, Purgatory, North, North (Update Successfully!!!)
Well, actually, up to now, if Grand Duke Vladimir still perseveres in pursuing his descent into the main world, then Rand has already been able to glimpse a lot of the conditions required.

First, as a creature of purgatory, it needs "water" to survive in the main world.

This water is the main world that is sufficiently hellish. Maybe it is enough for an area to be hellish. The specific situation is still unclear.

The combat effectiveness of the Pseudo Azure Kings is not bad, but their number should not exceed double digits, and with the death of the Azure King, this number will not increase.

Second, as a demigod, descending into the main world requires breaking the "rules".

This world has obvious rules, that is, gods cannot truly actively influence this world. Purgatory can still have several demigods, but the main world cannot accommodate any demigods. Vladimir's arrival requires breaking the "rules".

As for how to break through, Rand didn't know the specific method, but he must have the power of the Scourge Apostle and a holy weapon that could continuously absorb the power of death from the Scourge Apostle's kingdom of God to a certain extent.

Rand estimated that the appearance of this skeleton in the main world was essentially a violation of the "rules".

Third, it requires a timing.

The Blue King's eagerness must be due to the fact that his life is coming to an end, but it is also obviously due to timing.

Rand was also very sure that there should indeed be such a time.

Now, the Overworld is becoming more and more susceptible to the influence of God.

Now, taking everything into consideration, this should be increasingly vulnerable. There will be a peak, and it will fall back after the peak.

And this climax is exactly what Grand Duke Vladimir needs... the opportunity.

This completes the analysis.

There must be other conditions for the sacrifice, but as long as Rand prevents one or more of the conditions that have been analyzed, he should be able to prevent Grand Duke Vladimir from coming.

Of course, it would be best to block them all.

Because Grand Duke Vladimir had been preparing for so many years, Rand estimated that he had some compromise alternative plans.

If Rand were in Grand Duke Vladimir's position, he would definitely not come up with just one set of plans. His ability to resist risks is too poor.

"So, where do you think the landing place will be?" Rand asked Karin seriously.

"Obviously, the best place is the North." Karin gave the answer.

This is indeed obvious.

In the original history, Grand Duke Vladimir's sacrifice to the gods would have been smoother than it is now due to the absence of Rand, although Rand was a "cloud player" and did not know the location of Grand Duke Vladimir's sacrifice to the gods.

But judging from its later influence, it should be a city in the Southern Kingdom.

In the original history of "Deep Moon", the Northern Union had its defense line breached by the orcs until Queen Ellie Carrant restored the country and drove the orcs back to the north. This was in line with "water" for a long period of time, but it was not necessary. At that time, from the perspective of Grand Duke Vladimir, the Northern Union should have been a sure thing, and it was right to choose to open up the south.

Then something unexpected happened. The protagonists, Ellie, Elsa, and Quirrell, each performed their own legends.

As for what happened later, Rand had no idea.

But now, Rand came to this world. The vampires and undead in the south have not completely wreaked havoc, and the invasion of the orcs in the north has also failed. Although they broke through the Principality of Green Shadow, they were finally driven back to the north, the land of wind and snow.

Now looking around, it is obviously the northern border that is more in line with the "water" situation.

The orcs needed revenge, and Vladimir needed infernalization.

Rand was almost certain that Grand Duke Vladimir's next plan would be in the North.

I just don't know when Grand Duke Vladimir started.

Rand probably won't be too slow. The Blue King is very anxious, so the opportunity must not be too far away.

But it certainly won't be too fast. Rand doesn't think that Grand Duke Vladimir can use all the orcs at once to achieve his goal.

The orcs were obviously on guard against Grand Duke Vladimir, the vicious infernal vampire.

There had been conflicts between Grand Duke Vladimir and the orcs before, when Grand Duke Vladimir used the Infernal Humans to force the orcs to abandon the Principality of Green Shadow. It would obviously be difficult to get the orcs to support Grand Duke Vladimir's evil plan again.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is the Wisteria Kingdom... Rand thinks the probability is very low, but it still needs to be understood.

"What are you going to do?" Karin asked.

"Write a letter to the White King and ask him to start an investigation immediately, focusing primarily on the orcs, and also keeping an eye on the Wisteria Kingdom." Rand made a quick decision.

The Principality of Green Shadow and the Kingdom of Wisteria jointly stabbed the Northern Union in the back when the orcs invaded, and then the White King presided over the expulsion of these two countries from the Northern Union. Now the Kingdom of Wisteria is ostracized by all the countries in the Northern Union and it is not by the sea, so its life is very difficult.

Given his previous rebellious behavior, Rand did not intend to turn a blind eye to the possibility of his rebellion again.

As for why he let the White King investigate instead of sending someone to investigate personally.

That is naturally because the White King must know the situation in the North better than Rand. As the king, White King Bolan has more armed forces that can be deployed. There is also enough trust between her and Rand. She will not underestimate Rand's warnings and speculations, so letting the White King arrange people to investigate is the most appropriate option at the moment.

As for now, until the White King could give him news, Rand had to keep things simple.

Continue to develop your own territory, take advantage of the benefits given by the Kingdom of Borun, and then after obtaining information from the White King, go to the north to stop the conspiracy of Grand Duke Vladimir.

At that time, Rand also had to bring the thirteenth son of the Black and Brown Marquis.

Rand is a very nostalgic person. He knows very well how precious a favor it was that the Marquis of Black and Brown was willing to give him a chance. Later, as Rand's staunch ally, the Marquis of Black and Brown played a vital role in Rand's growth process.

Later, the Black and Brown Marquis's health was difficult to recover, and after entrusting his child to Rand, he went to the North to fight the orcs almost alone.

And Rand promised the thirteenth son of the Black and Brown Marquis that when he grew up, he would take him to the North to find his father.

Rand would keep his promise, whether it was caring for and raising the children of the Black and Tan Marquis, or taking the Thirteenth Son to the North to find his father.

"Then we have basically finished discussing the business," Rand said.

Karin took a step back and said cautiously, "What do you want to do!"

Karin knew Rand very well.

Rand was helpless.

Logically speaking, after establishing a relationship, men and women should become more and more familiar and natural.

But with Karin it was the exact opposite.

When they first confirmed their relationship, Karin was quite natural and proactive towards Rand.

As a leader, Karin is not the indecisive type. After understanding her own heart and making a decision, Karin is still quite proactive.

Just when Rand thought that Karin would be more gentle, considerate and proactive in the future.

I found that Karin was becoming more and more shy.

She didn't become unwilling to be touched, but her reaction didn't seem natural. Rand was a little helpless. He pulled Karin over and kissed her hard twice, then gently stroked the golden hair on her back.

Then Karin pushed him away somewhat embarrassedly.

Because the information was very important, Karin rushed back immediately after collecting it without taking any time to take care of herself.

Although as a king, she could actually burn off the dust and other dirt, she still felt shy about being held in the arms of her "lover" without taking good care of herself or taking a bath.

"Then let's take a bath together?" Rand invited.

Karin turned her head away. This was no reason to refuse, so she nodded slightly to show her agreement.

Of course, she didn't hate Rand, nor did she hate having close contact with him. She just felt ashamed when she thought about herself, the Saint of the Torch Church and the Crimson King, having to have an affair with Rand behind his wife's back.

But she still wouldn't refuse Rand's invitation.

Things are different now.

When the upper sanctuary and the lower resort villa were just being built, the large bathhouse was open for business during normal hours, and only at night was it open for private use by Rand and the sanctuary's top management.

Later, as a single large bathhouse could not meet the needs of the staff, two new large bathhouses were built. Later, small private bathhouses for the high-ranking officials of the sanctuary and Rand were built behind the lord's hall.

Now Rand has everything.

He has a maid, a private bath, and a lover. It seems that as an evil lord, he has everything he should have.

Unfortunately, Rand still has a long way to go if he wants to keep these, especially the people he cares about.

Although according to the original plot of "Deep Moon", Elsa, Ellie, and Quirrell will eventually be able to bring the world back on track and drive evil out of the world in their respective stories.

but!

How many people would die in such a tortuous story? How much pain and loss would these protagonists have to experience? Rand didn't know, but he wouldn't let it go to that point anyway.

Rand worked hard to develop his territory so that one day, when faced with all problems, he could make the same choice.

That is to say, push forward.

That’s what development is about, isn’t it?
Rand stirred the hot water in the private bath, caressing it over Karin's skin.

Karin had opened her eyes by now, her fiery red eyes looking just as gorgeous as ever.

After not seeing each other for a long time, Karin also wanted to see Rand's face.

As for Rand's touch, Karin only resisted slightly.

After a while, Rand asked, "I actually have a question."

"What?" Karin's voice trembled slightly at this time.

"Your eye cooling time is one day, right?" Rand asked.

"Correct."

"So is this day a day in terms of time or a day in terms of date?" Rand asked again.

Karin was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what Rand meant.

"It's a date," Karin replied. "After midnight, I can open my eyes again."

Rand narrowed his eyes. This was very interesting.

As the attending physician, Rand initially diagnosed Karin's eye problem as a psychological problem, but now it is estimated that there are many mysterious reasons.

Now Karin has become a specialized form. She is greatly strengthened when she opens her eyes, and is usually in a silent state. Rand doesn't even feel that she has become weaker, but she is unable to maintain high combat power on a regular basis.

Of course, this normalized high combat power is relative to the king. Compared to the top professionals, Karin with her eyes closed is still a nightmare.

Rand tapped Karin's delicate skin and stopped being so gentle.

The water temperature will not get colder because of Karin's presence, but he needs to rest. Tomorrow he plans to go to the land behind the first line of defense of the Kingdom of Boren to investigate. Rand is determined to take over this land.

And there is absolutely no reason for him to spit out the land he has eaten.

"Come back home with me?" Rand looked at Karin.

Karin's originally calm and steady demeanor suddenly turned into one of timidity.

Karin knew that the situation in Rand's bedroom was strange.

The lords of this world, both men and women, are likely to have many lovers.

But the lover either does not appear in front of the mistress, or is completely under the mistress's management, but in any case, it will not be the case with Rand.

In Rand's case, the whole family lives together.

Karin didn't think this was a bad thing. It was a good thing that the high-level officials in the Sanctuary had a good relationship. But if she went to live there, the pressure would be greater than just facing Lord Ellie's wife. From facing Lord Ellie's wife, she would have to face Ellie, Elsa, Olena, and maybe even that strange elf Lisa.

Seeing Karin like this, Rand didn't force her. He didn't have the idea of ​​forcing Karin to satisfy his own interests. Seeing that Karin was unwilling, he didn't force her.

"Then I'll go back by myself?" Rand asked.

Karin nodded.

After thinking about it, Karin came out of the bathtub, evaporated the water droplets on her body in an instant, moved in front of Rand, and gently kissed Rand's lips which seemed a little thin due to his young age.

After a while Karin let go.

"I'm very happy to spend my first day with you after returning." Karin, whose eyes were no longer open, smiled, looking rare and sweet.

And after Rand and Karin separated.

Elsa immediately appeared beside Rand to protect him.

This is an unwritten rule among the Sanctuary's top brass, including Karin. At least one person must protect Rand's safety. Although Rand doesn't really need that much protection, none of them can accept any risk.

Elsa snickered, "Then it looks like it's my time."

Rand pinched Elsa's face and asked suspiciously, "Are you going to do something weird again?"

"Kuku, how could that be?" Elsa's beautiful lavender eyes were as cunning as a fox, "But what are we doing now? Stealing the sunshine?"

Rand laughed: "You seem to care a lot about this kind of thing."

Elsa blinked: "Hey, it's exciting."
