Divine Kingship

Chapter 63 Elsa's silence, Tanner's reply, and analysis of the situation
Elsa looked at Rand, and Rand looked at Elsa, and the two stared at each other.

After a long silence, Elsa finally lost her temper and handed the pants in her hand to Rand: "Here, here, I give you the pants back."

Rand took the pants with disdain, left the stone chair with pride, went back to the sacrificial room to change, and then walked out again: "You regret it now."

Elsa stammered, "Um, can you ask the Adventurer's Association representative to stop spreading gossip?"

Rand raised an eyebrow and tried to stifle a laugh.

Elsa had completely lost the arrogance she had when she stole the pants. She became hesitant and reluctant. As her reputation was at stake, she had no choice but to compromise. She looked at Rand with aggrieved eyes.

"Well, it would be bad for you if this matter got out, right?"

Rand calmed down and said in a calm tone: "I didn't admit that those were my pants. How dare you assume that they were my pants!"

The representative of the Adventurer's Association didn't pull down his pants to see if he was wearing any underwear. Even if he did, it couldn't prove that the underwear in Elsa's hand was his!

The logic is perfect!

So the only one who got out was Elsa.

It seemed, it seemed to be true. Elsa only then understood why Rand treated her as an air person and ignored her completely when he was talking to the Adventurer's Association before.

It turns out that the problem is here!

At least there is no room for explanation for her image of holding a man's pants and shouting.

Elsa felt that there was no need for her to be an adventurer anymore, and even there seemed to be no meaning in living. When she thought about how people would point fingers at her wherever she went and say that she liked to steal other people's pants, she felt hopeless.

But there was still room for redemption. Elsa turned over and knelt on the ground without any image burden. She clasped her hands together and raised them above her head: "Please let me go, great, wise, handsome, broad-minded and kind Lord Rand."

Rand couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why don't you say I'm a money-grubber?"

"I was wrong." Elsa apologized without hesitation: "I'll do anything for you, but don't let the people from the Adventurer's Guild spread this! Please, great Lord Rand!"

This is what Rand originally thought. If the news really spread all over the world, his reputation as a background board would not be very good.

But he can still control Elsa now. Since Elsa came to the hideout, she has been controlled by him several times.

"Ahem, how about voluntary labor?"

Elsa nodded vigorously. Compared to social death, voluntary labor was completely acceptable.

Rand took out a contract. This was not a premeditated plan, but a preparation for the future development of the hideout.

And it is not completely voluntary labor. The salary is based on the average salary of normal senior adventurers. The only thing is that you must work for a full three years and must not disclose the secrets of the hideout.

Elsa was surprised that Rand had prepared such a thing. She took it and looked at it carefully. It was unexpectedly loose. She thought it was some evil oppression contract, but it even had holidays marked on it!
Although she was skeptical about Rand's kindness, she had no choice now that she was facing social death.

Seeing that Elsa agreed, Rand walked quickly to the office, then pulled Olenna out and whispered his needs to her.

Olenna blinked, looked at Rand, then looked at Elsa not far away, and imagined the scene in her mind. Even though she was very good at cultivating her qi, she couldn't help but hold back her laughter.

This Elsa actually came to steal pants and was caught by people from the Adventurer's Association.

But the problem is easy to solve. I just need to mention it briefly when I negotiate with the representatives of the Adventurer's Association later. If the Adventurer's Association is really the kind of organization that spreads all kinds of gossip, it would have been destroyed by the united forces long ago.

Back in the Lord's Hall, Rand assigned Elsa a task to blend into the adventurer group and understand the adventurer's exploration progress. Rand needed to keep abreast of the adventurers' progress in the ruins to prevent the artifact in the agreement with Ellie and Olenna from being obtained by others.

In fact, it is not very likely. There is a Mithril Golem guarding the bottom floor, which is more powerful than the Iron Golem. However, it is still necessary to be on the safe side.

At this time, Elsa has gained a high reputation among the adventurer group after her work as an adventurer guide and the golden sapling incident. She can easily blend into the adventurer team and pass on information to him.

Elsa nodded, feeling that everything was part of this bad guy's plan, as if everything was calculated.

After Elsa left, Rand wandered around the hideout, waiting for the autumn harvest so that the second phase of the holiday villa could be built.

After cooperating with the Adventurer's Association, a second wave of adventurers will come.

After walking around for a while, Rand calculated that it was time to get off work, so he went to the office again. At this time, all the apprentices had already left work, but Ellie and Olenna were still here.

Olenna handed Rand a letter and said, "Tan'er's reply."

Rand was delighted, and walked quickly forward. After opening it, he pulled Ellie and Olenna to look at it together.

Taner had rendered great service in the conflict between the Earl of Black and Brown and the Marquis of Green Leaf, and even though one-fifth of the soldiers in the hideout had been killed or wounded, this was the result of his efforts in medical treatment.

The Black and Brown Earl decided to invite the Crescent Territory to join the Second Prince's camp, and only represent himself to support Rand's rule over the Crescent Territory.

This is a very good result. At least within the sphere of influence of the Black and Brown Earl, Crescent Moon Territory finally has a formal trading space, and the Crescent Moon Territory's backlog of goods finally has a chance to circulate.

Unfortunately, this was paid for with bloody lives, and it is imperative to provide compensation and honor for every victim.

They used their lives to buy opportunities for development.

Now, after experiencing small-scale conflicts among all parties, the Frost Moon Kingdom has entered a cooling-off period again.

The power of the nobles divided into two factions has shrunk to a certain extent. If a full-scale civil war really breaks out, they are not yet prepared. Although there are undercurrents at present, actual military conflicts have been greatly reduced.

At present, there is still no possibility of the Fourth Prince winning. According to the plot, the Fourth Prince was supposed to be the final winner, but there is no sign of it at present.

This is very unreasonable.

Could it be that the plot of this world has shifted because of his appearance? But it shouldn't be so obvious that there is no sign at all?
There are no signs and no direction to investigate, so let's just skip it.

After mediation by the Torch Church, the two southern countries that had been fighting over the gold mines reached a truce. The result of the mediation was that each country would take half of the gold mines, which was a ridiculous idea. Both countries believed that they should take all the gold mines.

I guess he is currently holding back his resentment towards the Torch Church.

It is the same in any world. When one's own interests are threatened, people will selectively forget past favors.

In the past, the Torch Church has made a lot of contributions to the continent, but it definitely cannot withstand such consumption.

When the influence of the Torch Church weakens to a certain extent, Rand will no longer have to be so covert in promoting the Fertility Goddess Sect.

The last one is Baron Huyuan. According to reliable intelligence, Baron Huyuan did hire mercenaries to attack Crescent Moon Territory, but the mercenaries he hired were from the Fengrang Mercenary Group, which had already received commissions from Earl Black and Brown and was preparing to return.

　I recommend a Tokyo novel that will make readers twist and turn in their beds. Oda Shingo, who only wants to draw comics and doesn't want to care about women, gets the [Anime Devil King] system and thinks he'll be like a duck in water, but this system is actually the [I'm in Love in Tokyo] system in disguise...
