Chapter 314
The king has not really chosen his heir yet.
Although the eldest prince is the heir in terms of law, due to the king's sway, there are still quite a lot of people supporting the third prince.
The eldest prince and the third prince's mother are not the same person. The eldest prince's mother is the sister of the wife of the Black Brown Marquis, and the family power is average.
The third prince's mother is a foreign princess, and this princess also has many forces in the Frost Moon Kingdom.
If the king's death is not handled well, then the Frost Moon Kingdom will really usher in a civil war again.
Now, as the Frost Moon Kingdom, Rand, whose influence is second only to the Grand Duke of Thorns, is already qualified and necessary to interfere in the internal politics of the Frost Moon Kingdom.
Therefore, Grand Duke Thorn invited Rand to the royal city to help him.
"I will set out to go immediately," Rand said to the messenger.
The messenger left after receiving the reply.
Rand began to arrange territorial matters.
The king's death was too sudden.
Rand rubbed his eyebrows.
There are a lot of things happening at the same time.
"Elie stayed in Xinyue Port to handle affairs, Lesa went to control the civilian escape, Elsa and Olena followed me to the royal city." Rand ordered the affairs officer beside him.
This time, only Karin came back to Xinyue Port with him, and the senior executives of the other dens are still dealing with civilian smuggling.
Now that the ship is about to be built, it will be much more difficult for civilians to smuggle.
Rand was barely able to take time out to deal with the affairs of the Frost Moon Kingdom.
But Rand doesn't want this to happen.
As for Karin, the Torch Church’s Newborn Sect will not participate in the internal affairs of the Frost Moon Kingdom.
Moreover, since Bishop Kahn was busy with the affairs of the Moon Phase during Rand's departure from the Moon Phase, the Torch Church's Newborn Sect has left a lot of work, which Karin needs to deal with.
Rand moved his seat in front of the harbor and looked at the waves on the sea.
Next, when Elsa and Olena arrive at the Thin Moon Port, they will set out for the Frost Moon King City.
The last time I went to Frost Moon King City was due to the incident between the Bucks Earl and the Flying Fox Earl.
At that time, Rand was just a young man with potential who would be suppressed and win over.
This time when Rand arrived at the Frost Moon King City, he was already the powerful and respectable Earl of Moon Phase.
...
The church school at this time.
Shelan's single office.
Now due to a shortage of personnel, Shelan, the first heir to the Bucks Earl with excellent learning ability, has been elected as the president of the Student Union.
The job is to help Director Vanilla Teaching Director and the Director of the Academic Affairs Office of Grand Duke Thorns handle affairs in the school.
Although things have changed a lot, Shelan also obtained a self-employed office at the church school.
Or called the Student Union Activity Room?
Anyway, it's almost the same.
Sheran just sent Rand's order to his friends who drove and rode horses.
Sitting gracefully in your seat, I brewed myself a cup of black tea with a strong aroma.
Then there was an annoying knock on his office door.
"Please come in." Shelan put down the tea cup.
The vanilla in the teacher career suit pushes the door open.
Vanilla placed the letter on Shelan's table: "Sir Shelan, I would like to ask you to help deliver a letter to the Elf Forest."
Shelan was stunned for a moment, looked at Vanilla's clear gaze, and said in confusion: "Me?"
"I heard you have some slave traders friends," Vanilla said.
"Miss Vanilla, please don't talk nonsense," Shelan denied gracefully, "they are just happy to help others choose a better working environment."
Vanilla rolled her eyes rarely. As a teacher and director, she usually pays attention to the solemnity of her demeanor.
But Shelan's words still made her feel a little difficult to maintain.
She had lived in an iron cage herself. How could she not know who Shelan’s friend is?
Vanilla held her hands in her chest and looked down at Shelan sitting in front of the table.
Even if the herbs are standing and the shelland is sitting, the herbs are not much taller than the shelland.
Vanilla said, "This is Lord Rand's mission, and I want to invite some scholars from the Elf Forest to come to the church school to work."
Shelan originally planned to reject Vanilla's request.
After all, in principle, it is still an elf female slave. It is obviously a bit of a violation of the slave merchant's code for asking the elf slave to send letters to the elf forest.
Of course, Shelan is not a slave merchant, he just has some friends.
Shelan looked at the herbs and felt that it was impossible for her to spread such a lie that could be easily exposed. She picked up the letter from the table and looked at it both front and back: "It's okay to help deliver the letter, but I'm not sure if it can be done. Deliver to the target you want to give, and, I don’t guarantee the consequences.”
In Shelan's opinion, this is a bit risky. Will it really not irritate the Elf Forest by asking the slave trader to send a letter to the Elf slave?
And that's right, vanilla seems not an ordinary elf.
Shelan has already reminiscent of this point during this period.
So is it from the elves and nobles, or is it the royal family?
"It's okay." Vanilla said that the impact was nothing.
Vanilla knew very well that she was just a not too important royal marginal figure.
Sending a Feng Chime Squad is already a very important manifestation.
As long as this letter was not passed to the elves' rulers and was made public, nothing would happen.
When an elf scholar receives a letter, he will definitely not make any noise.
And Vanilla really thinks that the resort villa is a very suitable place for elf scholars to do academics.
"Then I will make arrangements." Shelan said that there would be no problem like this.
It's just a matter of suffering from slave merchants.
Seeing that Shelan agreed to help, Vanilla left directly.
And after vanilla left.
Not long after, the door of Shelan's office was knocked again.
Those who came in were from the Bucks family.
It's also a letter.
The letter is: The king is dead.
Shelan took a deep breath.
He felt that he would not be able to graduate as the president of the student union for long.
...
Burning place.
Since the Burning Land has been automated.
Rand obtained a lot of dragon blood stones from the Burning Land.
And that is, the Burning Land has also become the activity place for adventurers.
Rand wanted to explore the burning place to find out if there were really a corpse of a dragon falling here.
And Rand wants to understand why the environment is so harsh and why the borders of Burning Land are fertile.
At the beginning, Rand sent out an official exploration team.
But later I felt that the cost was too high and turned it into openness to adventurers.
The burning place is divided into normal areas and dangerous areas.
Some food can be grown in normal areas. Although it is very barren, it can allow the people in the burning place to survive.
The hazardous area can also be called the combustion area.
Some areas of burning places really burn.
The flames burn from time to time or permanently make it difficult for exploration teams to get close. There are also some monsters with extremely strong flame adaptability, where monsters live.
Coupled with the possible toxic gases and complex terrain, exploration is difficult.
But this kind of place is also the place with the highest production of dragon bloodstone.
And, it is also the place where secrets are most likely to be discovered.
After carefully considering the cost, Rand built the Adventurers Association's stronghold at the Finris Mang site.
Nowadays, Rand is actually a big shot in the Adventurers Association.
The Adventurers Association is a neutral organization. The Adventurers Association has power all over the world, but due to the overall low status of adventurers, the overall influence is not strong.
But Rand's arrival gave the Adventurers Association new development opportunities.
With Rand's help, countless adventurers get rid of low-level, bloody, dirty work and become adventurers like the storybook, the drama who can truly gain profits by exploring and dealing with monsters.
Of course, we have to give it to Mr. Rand.
But Rand is still the great saint in the minds of adventurers.
After all, other noble lords in this world would not be as good as Rand's "use" adventurers.
And there is another point that Rand has really developed many adventure locations for adventurers, providing adventurers with a lot of job opportunities.
The ruins next to the den and ten layers of ruins are open to adventurers.
It can be said that it has been "passed".
But being cleared does not mean that it is useless. Each of the ten-story ruins has a considerable number of protected areas that have not been thoroughly guided.
These places are used by the Adventurers Association to train new adventurers, experienced old adventurers, and are only allowed to enter these protected areas during the old-fashioning link.
If a new adventurer chooses to start his adventurer career from a resort villa, then the ruins next to the den are the first adventure location.
Of course, before starting your adventure, you must pass the written and interviews and practical exams from the Adventurers Association.
If the Adventurers Association has already had some outdated ratings, then the den ruins are about level 1 to level 3?
In the den ruin adventure, you can obtain some construct materials, ruin elements, ruin floors, synthetic beast body tissues, magic materials, weapons and equipment, as well as gold and gemstones.
After having some adventure experience, you can choose to go to the haunted iron ore that is no longer very haunted and the remains of the specialty road.
The road to specialties is still under the guidance, but the overall difficulty should be similar to the remains of the den.
So the rating is about level 2 to level 4.
This level 4 is mainly due to uncertainty. Sometimes more advanced undead will appear in haunted iron ore, while the remains on the road to specialties have not been discovered.
In Haunted Iron Ore Adventure, you can obtain iron ore, some rare companion ore, as well as magical materials, and of course, there will also be a very low probability of magical metal being produced.
Then there is the Sea of Qianyue Port, which follows the fishermen to the sea and moves in the shallow sea.
The rating is about 3 to 5.
Level 3 is because this requires adventurers to be familiar with the marine environment, and level 5 is because even in shallow seas, sometimes there is a very low probability of encountering sea monsters.
The harvest may be some fishing catches and precious monster materials in the ocean. Sometimes fishermen fish for some magic props from the ocean, and adventurers can get a share of it.
Next is the adventurer area at level 5 or above, the undiscovered dangerous areas of the burning place, which produces high-value dragon bloodstones, as well as other burning area specialties.
The dark area portal at level 5 or above must deal with the heart-grabbing demons and eye monsters, as well as other dark area creatures with strange abilities, and the output is diverse and everything is available.
Overall, if you start adventure from Rand's resort villa, the difficulty curve is very smooth. Adventurers of any level will have adventure locations and can get corresponding rewards through their knowledge and force.
Of course, taking risks in these places directly or indirectly controlled by Rand must pay taxes to Count Rand.
