Divine Kingship

Chapter 53: Giant Serpent Bones and the First Adventurer

The power of the Rand Archangel was endless. He not only killed the golem made of magic steel, but also defeated the giant snake as long as a river.

At least that's what the believers in the den think.

The bones of the giant snake and the fragments of the golem are proof of this.

Thanks to the efforts of twelve adult minotaurs, the giant snake's skeleton was finally transported to the hideout.

This was the first time that Rand used [Greed of the God of Struggle] and successfully obtained a whole set of giant snake bones. Unfortunately, after Ellie's identification, the giant snake's flesh and blood were inedible, so he only took some as Ellie's experimental materials.

The giant snake's entire skeleton was perfectly peeled off and dragged back to its lair, where it was placed over the sacrificial room, with its head facing the door of the sacrificial room.

If you enter the sacrificial room directly from the main door without passing through the office, you will face the skull of a giant snake.

Although this set of skeletons has no practical use, it is very good as a decoration to enhance reputation. At least in the future, when adventurers come to the hideout and see this giant snake skeleton, they will think twice before causing trouble.

Rand was standing at the door of the sacrificial chamber.

Now the interior of the sacrificial room has also undergone some renovations, and the gate has been built to be more majestic.

A long house was added here as a meeting hall, and behind the long house was Rand's original living area.

Looking sideways at Olenna, Rand said helplessly, "Does it have to be like this?"

It was Ellie and Olenna's idea to drag the giant snake's bones here. They believed that this could effectively enhance Rand's majesty and reputation as the master of this place.

Olenna nodded: "Of course, if you can't deter others and people keep provoking you, not only will your dignity be damaged, but it will also be very difficult for us."

The implication was simple: if anyone tried to challenge Rand's authority, Olenna and the others, as his subordinates, would definitely not let him go.

The idea that the master should be humiliated and the minister should be punished with death is a popular value in this era.

Rand no longer cared. Although he did not like ostentation, since it was necessary to maintain dignity, he had no objection.

And most importantly, it's really cool.

Just when Rand was about to walk around again, Olenna's face suddenly changed, and she drew her sword from its sheath in an instant, and put it across the neck of a girl in a black tights.

Rand finally reacted and turned to look at the girl. Because Olenna had held a sword at her neck, sweat was already appearing on her forehead. She didn't understand at all how there could be a top-level professional in such a remote place.

Moreover, such reaction and speed may be ranked among the best among the top professionals.

She admitted that it was wrong for her to want to steal, but it was not a crime punishable by death. She was held up and dared not move. She could only blink her eyes and move her eyeballs up and down to indicate her surrender and to stop holding the sword.

Rand's face was gloomy because he found that his pants were gone and he felt cold.

He glanced at the black-clad girl's right hand, pulled back his pants, and walked back to the sacrificial room, saying to Olenna, "Look at her."

The girl smiled awkwardly, and then she felt the cold edge of the sword on her neck. She had to keep her expression tight and minimize her movements. Then she realized that the random lottery stealing ability she had acquired since childhood had actually resulted in her drawing a pair of pants.

It turned out to be a man's pair of underpants. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but mourn for her career as a thief. After stealing a pair of useless underpants, her career as a thief must be over. How sad.

After a while, Rand, who had put on his pants, looked at the thief with a sullen face and said, "Tell me, how do you want to die?"

The girl's legs suddenly went weak, tears welled up in her beautiful eyes, and she looked at Rand pitifully: "I, I just stole a pair of pants, this crime is not punishable by death, right?"

Rand rolled his eyes. He had already recognized this girl. In the original Deep Moon game, she was one of the protagonists who participated in the ruins adventure with Ellie. She was actually a pure fighting assassin, the kind who would kill all witnesses when they sneaked in to assassinate.

Although she keeps calling herself a thief and seems to suffer from severe kleptomania.

But Rand, a cloud player, couldn't see from the game CG that Elsa would steal even her pants. What's the morality of a thief? What's the bottom line of a thief?

Fortunately, Elsa is only a superior professional at this stage. Even with her extraordinary talent, she is no match for Olenna, the top professional.

Olenna was very serious. Although she didn't understand why this thief would steal Lord Rand's pants, it was undoubtedly an offense to him and must be dealt with seriously.

After listening to the girl's words, Rand said with a strange smile: "I am the master here, and I have the final say on the laws here."

The girl's heart skipped a beat after hearing this, and she thought, could her life be going to end here for such a ridiculous reason?

She suddenly remembered something and said, "I, I am very rich, I can compensate you."

Rand thought helplessly: Why are they all so rich? Tanel is like this, Ellie and Olenna are like this, and now Elsa also looks very rich.

"How do you want to compensate?" Rand tried hard to control his expression, making himself look less greedy.

Seeing an opportunity, the girl signaled Olenna with her eyes to move the sword away a little.

Then he took out a small bag from his pocket and handed it to Rand respectfully but guiltily.

Rand didn't answer, but Olenna did.

After opening the bag, you can see gems similar to the ones Ellie donated, golden coins, and some small gadgets that don’t look very valuable, such as small gears, toys, and bracelets.

However, from the perspective of universal rationality, its value is definitely greater than Rand's underpants.

Rand didn't take more. He took out a gold coin and returned the bag to the girl.

"What's your name?" Although Rand knew her name.

"My name is Elsa, Elsa Empolite." Olenna had already retracted her sword at this time, so Elsa was able to touch her chest and introduce her first and last name.

"Well, so can I leave now?" She was relieved that Rand didn't take too much, but she still wanted to leave this unfortunate place as soon as possible, because she had stolen a man's pants!

If possible, she would like to wash her hands now.

Rand shook his head.

Elsa's heart skipped a beat and she looked up at Rand cautiously, wondering if there was anything else going on. She had only stolen a pair of shorts, which wasn't too much!

After thinking about it, Elsa felt a little guilty. It seemed that stealing someone's pants was indeed too much. Moreover, Lord Rand seemed to be a local lord. Her behavior undoubtedly offended Rand.

Rand continued, "According to the laws of the den, stealing not only requires compensation but also administrative punishment, which is detention and forced labor."

In fact, there are currently no laws in place.

Elsa breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, she was familiar with this, it was just imprisonment and forced labor, at most mining or something.
