The Iron Golem, which had been patrolling the wilderness without sleep and rest, suddenly stopped.
The energy core that was emitting light suddenly dimmed, and the Iron Golem fell to the ground because it lost its energy support.
Lysa bent her bow and shot an arrow made of unknown substances accurately into the gap in the armor of the huge Iron Golem.
"It seems to have no effect." Lysa said, "This kind of peak alchemy product of the last era, if you can't find a suitable method, maybe only dragon breath can forcibly destroy it."
Rand stared at the fallen Iron Golem and fell into thought. He didn't know if the method of thermal expansion and contraction would work, or if he couldn't kill it, he didn't know if digging a pit to bury it would work.
But now it still depends on Ellie. She said before that she had a way to deal with the Iron Golem.
Ellie said softly, "The outer skin of the Iron Golem is not steel, but some kind of alchemical metal, and I have mastered the alchemical potion formula to dissolve this alchemical metal."
Rand suddenly had a flash of uneasiness in his heart. With such a sentence opening, he would not issue a series of tasks to collect materials like in a game.
As expected, Ellie said, "But there is still a lack of one material."
"Is it very rare?" Rand was walking at the front of the team. He looked back after hearing Ellie's words.
"It's okay." Ellie explained shyly, "In fact, there is only one material missing. Originally, it required blood essence, but now this kind of ore is almost impossible to find. Fortunately, it can now be replaced by the ruby orb of the God of Struggle."
After about five breaths, the Iron Golem gradually began to restart.
But at this time, Rand and his group had already hidden far away.
Lesha's golden eyes watched the activated Iron Golem from afar. There was no sign of rampage, and it continued to patrol along the original route.
When she looked away, she heard Rand ask, "Is it a rose-red bead that is about the size of an eyeball and glows at night?"
Ellie was not surprised by Rand's question. She nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that you have also encountered that kind of monster. We have also collected information about the God of Struggle before. They have indeed been active in the nearby area."
After that, Ellie looked at Rand with hope: "Did you keep it? That bead."
Rand shook his head: "That is a pagan tool! I dedicated it to the Mother God."
Ellie's originally excited heart suddenly became disappointed: "Then it seems that we have to find a way to hunt down the believers of the God of Struggle."
But in fact, it is not very urgent. Now everything has not started. It will take time to wait for the White King's reply. In this era, most of the information transmission depends on manpower.
The communication method between Ellie and the White King is better, but it is just a magic carrier pigeon, and it still takes time to transmit the message.
And Rand is not ready yet. The hideout is arranging people to build houses and taverns as soon as possible.
If the White King is really willing to help promote the project in person as Ellie said, then the flow of adventurers may be much higher than originally expected.
In order to avoid not making the money that could have been earned, Rand plans to supervise the construction in person after returning.
As for Ellie's problem, Rand is not worried. With a clear goal instead of just a name, and knowing the origin, the problem of the potion can be easily solved.
Rand knows that there is a hidden den of the God of Struggle in the Crescent Territory. When he submitted the Rose Ruby Orb to the Mother Goddess last time to make Blessing 2 permanent, Rand learned this information from the Mother Goddess.
But because eliminating the Baron is a higher priority, he has been dragging it out.
Now it's just right, and he can start preparing to launch the Pagan Destruction Plan!
It's just that he doesn't know where this hidden den of the God of Struggle is. They don't seem to need to eat or trade, and they have been hiding in the den, and there is no clue at all.
But it's okay!
At this time, just ask the omnipotent Lysa for help.
"You need my help to find the den of the God of Struggle, right?" Lysa blinked, and then said playfully: "This is a very difficult task!"
Rand rolled his eyes, knowing that this girl was going to make trouble again.
But there was no way, now he had to ask for help, so he could only compromise: "I am willing to do anything, please help me!"
Lysa blinked again. Although she felt that Rand's words were not literal, she saw that he was so sensible, so she didn't say anything more and prepared to go back to rest before leaving.
She hadn't experienced enough of being a chair, but she still wanted to know if Rand had any new ideas for abuse.
"So do you have any new ideas?" Lysa asked.
This was as scary as his wife adding wolfberries to the cup after marriage, but Rand was not afraid at this time!
As a modern soul with rich theoretical experience, how could he lose to a person in the game in terms of gameplay!
No way!
Chapter 36 The Big Bath
Since Lysa went to investigate the location of the Cult of the God of Struggle, the Cult of the Goddess of Plenty seemed a little quieter.
But Rand was able to relax and take a walk in the den.
Originally, he had to be alert to Lysa's new ideas from time to time, which still consumed a lot of energy.
As for the increasing number of tasks in the den.
Well...I have pushed them all to Ellie and Olenna.
If we use the words of the previous life to describe them, these two are two perfect Palu.
They are willing to work even without salary or vacation. They are simply the workers chosen by God.
Ellie didn't care much about Rand's exploitation. Although Rand didn't say it, this man who could develop a den with only a dozen people to such a level would definitely not be lazy. I just don't know what this man with a gully in his heart is thinking about.
She learned about the situation at the beginning from the believers. From the development of a cult den with more than a dozen people to the control of an entire barony, this is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
Olena's thoughts are similar to Ellie's. Although she is still a little embarrassed every time she sees Rand because of the previous video incident, her admiration for Rand has not diminished by half, which is why she is willing to follow Rand's arrangements.
She believes that she will benefit a lot from studying under Rand for a period of time.
Such learning opportunities were not available in the White Kingdom. Those ministers and generals have never really controlled the development of the entire territory from such a subtle point.
Olena, like Ellie, was very curious about Rand's ambitions.
As for Rand, he thought Olena and Ellie were really good-looking, with white skin and bright eyes.
To use Rand's expression in his previous life, it was "What a beautiful and elegant figure, unique in the world and outstanding among the crowd".
When people relax, their thoughts will turn to strange places, such as beautiful girls. If Rand knew that Ellie and Olena were guessing that he was ambitious, he might be embarrassed for a while.
But it won't be long, now his face has been trained by Lysa.
However, it is not right to say that Rand does not do anything serious. At this time, he is supervising the construction of the holiday villa attached to the hideout.
The holiday villa is divided into four levels, the first level thatched house, the second level wooden house, the third level brick house, and the highest level special house.
It is prepared for adventurers of different consumption levels. As we all know, there are always some noble children with noble blood and outstanding status who like to be adventurers, just like the protagonist group that Ellie should have formed.
This kind of pseudo-adventurer with extremely high spending power, who does not need to make money through adventures and therefore does not need to be thrifty, is often generous and picky, and is an absolute fat sheep.
However, Rand does not know much about the needs of this kind of adventurers, so he plans to ask Ellie and Olena.
Thinking about it, he came to the sacrificial room. Now the sacrificial room has been expanded to an area outside as a special office, but it is still connected to where Rand lives.
Rand came in, and Ellie and Olena just looked up. Recently, due to the advancement of Rand's plan, there are more and more things that need to be dealt with. Although most of them are quite repetitive and trivial things, there will still be problems if they are not dealt with.
"Ahem." Rand coughed twice lightly, attracting the attention of the two beauties, and then said: "You, do you have any needs in life now, or what do you want in particular?"
Ellie looked at Rand vigilantly. Rand's moral integrity was too low in her eyes. Suddenly saying such words really made her have to doubt whether this messenger of God had other purposes.
"What do you want to say?" Ellie tried.
Rand didn't think of beating around the bush and said directly: "My plan, isn't it to provide accommodation for nearby adventurers? I'm thinking about what kind of infrastructure adventurers like you need most."
The implication is that he wants to cut leeks.
Ellie breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that Rand is not thinking about something strange. She turned her head and looked at Olena, and said: "Bathtub!"
Rand suddenly understood.
In this world, he recommended that his followers take a bath every twenty days, and this interval is not acceptable to Ellie and Olena, who have been pampered for many years.
Anyway, Rand sometimes gets close to Ellie and Olena, and never smells a bad smell. Obviously, they take a bath very diligently.
But as we all know, it is very dangerous for beautiful girls to take a bath in the wild. In addition to the threats of wild beasts and even goblins, there will also be some male humans with ulterior motives.
So the demand for a safe and comfortable bath is very high.
Seeing Rand deep in thought, Ellie and Olena were afraid that Rand would give up due to cost pressure, so they continued: "If you are willing to build a bath, we can provide funding."
Rand suddenly laughed, which made Ellie and Olena a little confused.
Rand remembered the first time he met Taner. At that time, this wealthy paladin also funded the den, which saved the den's originally bankrupt finances. Now, someone else took the initiative to invest in the construction of the den.
Although he wanted to build a bath, he didn't want to waste free money.
Rand blinked, but he didn't intend to cheat money, and said: "If you are really willing to fund, I can share some of the profits after it is built."
As for how much to share, it depends on the extent of their investment.
Ellie blinked and glanced at Olena, and Olena took out a small bag of coins from her small bag and handed it to Rand. After opening it, Rand found that poverty limited his imagination.
In an era when 1 pound of ordinary black bread was 4 copper coins, gold coins were a rather exaggerated denomination. In Ellie's small bag, there were only a few gold coins, and most of them were gems.
Although Rand didn't know how to appraise treasures or the appearance of gems, these gems were priceless at first glance and were fully qualified to be inlaid on the crown of a king.
Gulp~
Rand swallowed his saliva and smiled awkwardly: "No need for so much, this is too much."
Oleanna also blinked her soft eyes with long eyebrows and said: "I know, we won't take advantage of you."
This damn caring feeling.
In the end, Rand and Ellie signed the treaty, the price was a gem of unknown value, and then Ellie shared 15% of the net profit of the big bath. To be honest, Rand was quite guilty when signing the contract.
He always felt that he had taken a big advantage in this contract. The price of this gem always felt beyond his imagination, but he didn't dare to ask, for fear of exposing his poor imagination.
But Ellie and Olena didn't care, this little money was nothing to them.
Carefully wrote two copies of the contract, and after both parties checked it, they kept one copy each. This kind of contract has little practical benefit in this era without a notary.
The reason why it was so formal was all Rand's idea. He boasted that the income from the bathhouse would be able to return to Ellie and Olenna. Rand didn't want to take too much advantage of his allies at this early stage.
After leaving the sacrificial room, Rand made up his mind.
So the first thing to do was to build a large bathhouse.
I didn't expect that the first large-scale construction of the hideout would be to build a wonder. I hope that "the wonder will not ruin the country."
In addition to construction, education in the hideout is also imperative. Rand must find a way to come up with a basic textbook.
He is really disgusted by the current lack of talents and the situation that no one can use.
Chapter 37 Feng Rang Mercenary Group and Torch Church
The Black and Brown Earl is a strong and strong man. Because he often participates in competitions and hunting, he has not gained weight or shrunk even though he is nearly fifty years old. From a distance, he looks like a strong lion.
The Black and Brown Family was also considered a southerner in his early years, so the family members have always had black hair and black eyes like Rand. Later, they joined the Northern Union and became the Earl of the Frost Moon Kingdom.
A family like the Earl has a considerable size, at least it is qualified to participate in the team.
But the Black and Brown Earl does not want to take sides at all.
If he takes the wrong side, his ancestral foundation may be ruined in one day, and if he takes the right side, it will only be a little benefit, at best there is a certain probability of obtaining new territory.
But the new king will not let the territory of a noble be connected, and it is estimated that what will be allocated at that time is an enclave from an unknown place.
It seems that the territory is expanding, but it is estimated that it will be divided in a few years, and then it will become two families, and the strength of the Black and Brown family may not increase.
Anyway, the Black and Brown Earl does not want to participate in the fight between the second prince and the third prince.
But the bad thing is that his wife, the Black and Brown Countess, and the second prince's princess are half-sisters.
He did not expect that his father-in-law was so fertile, and he had a daughter at such an old age, and married the second prince.
And now as the second prince's brother-in-law, he has naturally taken sides in the eyes of domestic nobles, and the Black and Brown Earl is also very clear about this.
Therefore, even if he was unwilling, he had already started to initiate a plan to help the second prince fight for the throne.
The succession to the throne of the Frost Moon Kingdom has always been the eldest son inheritance system. Logically, after the eldest son died, the first in line should be the second prince, but the mother of the third prince was a second wife, and the father of this princess was the most powerful grand duke in the country.
Therefore, the country was naturally divided into two factions. One faction supported the succession and let the second prince take over the throne. The other faction believed that the current situation was turbulent and letting the third prince take over the throne would better maintain domestic stability and fight against foreign enemies.
As for the two princes themselves, the second prince was gentle and always appeared at the banquets of the nobles, while the third prince was a staunch force faction, with muscles as strong as the black and brown earl.
Now the two factions are evenly matched and full of gunpowder.
But so far, no one thought that the illegitimate fourth prince would be the final winner, and no one thought that the civil war would really start. Now at best, they are just showing off their muscles and talking nonsense in the capital.
The Black and Brown Earl is a staunch supporter of military power. He believes that nobles should have strength and use force to gain the right to speak. This may be consistent with the third prince's idea, but the Black and Brown Earl has no way to change camp.
