Chapter 228
In autumn and winter, the laborers struggled to pull huge stones onto the city wall with ropes. If they were less efficient, the supervisor's whip would suck them.
They will be whipped from morning to night.
Their food is the lowest rice bran, or black bread mixed with wood chips.
They were not enslaved, but were recruited for voluntary labor, so they had no wages yet.
After all, isn’t it glorious to put some work into the establishment of the great new holy city?
Outside the gate of the New Holy City, many civilians with their same clothes and no shoes, with haggard faces are lined up to enter the New Holy City.
They were not pilgrims, because serfs were not qualified to believe in the Goddess of the Torch.
They are just shipping goods here.
Their lord arranged for them to transport goods to the New Holy City, and then exchange them for materials or weapons to deal with the undead.
The undead has been raging throughout the south for a long time.
Although magic and sharp swords can also deal with the undead, they are not as efficient as the Torch Church after all.
When facing the undead tide, the nobles still need the power of the torch church to prevent their castle from being broken.
As for those more comfortable estates, many have been abandoned.
...
The next morning, Ellie pushed Rand to wake up and asked him to return to his room soon.
Otherwise, it would be terrible that her sister, White King, would be angry.
Rand also understood the situation very well. After being pushed and pinched Ellie's delicate skin, he decisively put on his clothes and went out. With his superb physical fitness and fighting skills, he avoided the maids and returned to his guest room.
It can only be said that fortunately there were no guards in the palace, otherwise it would not have been so easy.
Ellie rubbed her mouth after watching Rand leave. Thank you so much yesterday.
Ellie was a little suspicious that Rand had seen through her sister's identity, but she was not going to ask more questions.
After a while, Ellie called the maid outside the door.
It is a bit troublesome to wear the formal clothing of the prince and needs the help of the maid.
Today Rand said he wanted to defeat any young man who dared to provoke him. Ellie did not doubt whether Rand could do it. She was just interested in watching the game.
Chapter 325 Rand boxing conquers the world, sword sweeps the eight directions
When Rand came to the White King City, he suffered a lot of malicious eyes, and Ellie and the White King both reminded him that someone might challenge him because he was going to marry Prince Ellie.
But since it has not yet reached the point where everyone is beating and the leaves of vegetables are thrown away by the roadside, Rand feels that he may not be that unpopular either.
Until at the martial arts venue, when he saw the challenger's hostile gaze and the crowded viewing platform around him, Rand realized that this might not be the case.
It seems Ellie is too popular here, which makes him very, very unpopular here.
In the current scene, there are actually problems with Rand and Ellie.
When he returned to the mansion from the palace, in the carriage, Rand couldn't help but try Ellie's soft palms and initially developed chest.
At this time, another group of noble young men from the White Kingdom came to challenge.
Rand was too lazy to take care of these low-level opponents.
But Ellie touched her hands and feet in a very bad mood, so that Rand couldn't help but make a sound.
...It was regarded as a challenge.
Then more and more people went to apply for a challenge with the White King.
Originally, at the beginning, the White King meant to launch a secret duel to give these young people who were trying to challenge Rand a little face.
These young men also respected the White King quite well, so they did not disclose details of the duel.
But now too many people are coming to apply to challenge Rand.
It became what it is now.
At this time, the martial arts venue was crowded with people, and the viewing platform was full of people.
The atmosphere of the competition in the field was very warm.
Rand also sat on the viewing platform.
Because there are so many people who want to challenge Rand, these people must first select and select a few strong men as representatives to challenge Rand.
Otherwise there would be too many people and I don’t know when I will fight.
So Rand sat next to the White King and Ellie, and watched with them the noble young men in the audience duel to challenge him.
In a sense, Rand was also fascinating the whole country and touched the mood of the noble young people in the royal city.
...
The martial arts show is already the last one.
In the end, four people will be qualified to challenge Rand, and the result of this game will determine who will get the last place.
The applause on the watch stage was thunderous, and we were coming and going in the martial arts performance.
Soon, the last winner was won.
He is a tall young man, the three major dukes of the White Kingdom, and the third son of the Snow Bear family.
The loser was a little unwilling to give up and said to the young man in a discouragement, "I've given you the opportunity to humiliate Rand."
The young man said arrogantly, "You are not only weak, but also stupid!"
The defeated young man was angry, but he had no strength to get up and fight again, so he had to glar at the tall young man.
"We can't humiliate the foreign novice face too much. If he is beaten up, what should Wang's face do? We just need to make Lord Ellie realize that the novice face is useless except for good-looking."
Both the winner and loser of this last battle believed that he could defeat Rand.
After all, Rand looks very young, and no matter how strong he is, he is just an elite professional.
They are also elite professionals and often exercise force, so they are obviously bound to win.
That little white face is worthy of marrying Mingzhu, Prince Ellie?
He is worthy too?
At this time, when all the winners competed, Rand stood up.
Ellie half-kneeled in her seat to help Rand tidy up her clothes, check the fit of her armor, and finally help Rand put on her cloak.
The White King on the side also glanced at him and confirmed that there was no problem.
Rand walked down from the viewing platform and walked to the martial arts field.
Light rain, light breeze.
Rand stood with his sword.
The mountains and fields are all over the countryside, and the White Kingdom people cheering for his enemies.
Except Ellie, and the White King.
At present, these two people may be optimistic about Rand.
Rand's military capabilities are still known to everyone, but there are no rumors about personal force.
So judging by age, Rand looks very young and is already a genius to become an elite professional.
Nearly four years have passed since Rand traveled, and the years have left no trace on his face.
The tall young man was the last to complete the selection, but he was also the first to challenge Rand.
"It's too late to beg for mercy. I will let Ellie see your true face." The tall young man opposite said very elegantly, "But I will leave you some face for the sake of the king."
The sticky autumn rain sticks to people's clothes, bringing some slipperyness, and water droplets hang between Rand's eyebrows and eyes, but it doesn't affect his vision much.
Rand actually brought the power armor with him, but he did not bring it to the martial arts field. He felt that he did not need to use such a weapon to deal with these people.
Moreover, the power armor is hot and stuffy, the original craftsmanship is too rough, there is no ventilation system, and it is extremely heavy.
Rand only brought a giant sword over.
The protective gear on his body was very high-end. The White King stuffed him some armor treasured by the royal family, all of which were high-end equipment mixed with magic metal.
The White King believed that Rand could defeat these young people, but he was still worried that Rand would be injured, so he arranged extremely high-end equipment for Rand very partially.
The young man opposite Rand is ready to take action.
The noble young man was very upset about Rand's attitude as a master.
This tall, brown-haired noble young man looked at Ellie sitting quietly and elegantly beside the White King.
After not seeing each other for a few years, Ellie has become more beautiful. Although she is still a bit immature, she already has a mature atmosphere.
Although even when Ellie was still studying at White Country University, this young man had only seen Ellie from afar and had never really spoken out.
He waved the long sword in his hand and put on a perfect posture that he thought was suitable for both offense and defense.
Try to show your courage and handsomeness.
If he could defeat Rand, maybe Lord Ellie would wake up and give up this foreign brunette man.
Maybe he likes himself.
In fact, Olena's popularity is not low among the noble young people in the White Kingdom's Royal City, but the noble young people in the White Kingdom have not seen Olena appear for a long time.
I don't know what mission I've been sent by the White King.
Rand was a little bored.
The youth opposite is an elite professional.
Elite professions are not weak.
It is only when people like Rand see more senior professionals and the most senior professionals, that they feel that elite professionals are ordinary.
Elite-level professionals are the end points that most adventurers in this world can reach in their entire lives.
Rand is also an "elite professional".
After the tall aristocratic young man finished his movements, he saw Rand standing with a little bored hand on his sword and smiled, "Ellie will soon see your weakness. Aren't you afraid?"
Rand had no interest in trash talk with him, and doing so felt like a waste of time.
The tall young man raised his foot and accelerated his steps, raising his sword to charge.
Rand pressed the giant sword down, pressing the sword edge into the ground, and then letting go of the hilt.
The giant sword was inserted vertically on the ground.
Rand sideways avoids the stabbing and raises his knee and hits the tall young man's abdomen.
The tall young man's face suddenly turned purple and blue. Such terrifying force made him feel like he was hit by a troll.
Rand retracted his foot after hitting his knee and punched.
Rand's punch was slowed down by half a beat. When the young man tried his best to hold his head with his arm in a defensive posture, he punched the young man on the shoulder.
Rand promised the White King not to attack too much, so he still left some strength.
But such a force is too huge for a young man who has never seen the world.
The surging force knocked the young man away several meters away.
The young man fell heavily to the ground, foaming at his mouth and twitching, and he definitely couldn't get up anymore.
Rand returned to the back of his giant sword and stood with his sword.
It's still a great time to be a master.
Before the young man attacked, the whole viewing platform cheered.
Only Ellie and the White King were watching quietly.
After Rand took action, the venue became silent.
Ellie wanted to applaud, but she was the prince now, so she should pay attention to her dignity.
The white king's slender eyelashes blinked, causing people to drag the foaming noble young man to treat.
