Chapter 535 The Lisa I Know Can’t Be So Serious

According to legend, Rand Nicholas, Duke of the Moon, Master Rand, is a rare and powerful man who is unparalleled in the world.

Rand crossed the widest river in the world, climbed over the highest mountain, and came to Crescent Moon Territory to save everyone.

Lord Rand has defeated giants as tall as mountains and giant snakes as winding as rivers.

Lord Rand’s power is obviously unquestionable.

Maybe our great lord, Rand Nicholas is really the most powerful man in the world.

Of course, this is just a legend. Some residents of the sanctuary believe it, but it is not widely spread.

But today, many knights and soldiers of the Kingdom of Bolen who tried to escape had to guess the possibility that Rand was really a rare and powerful man.

When they started to defect, many strong men came with heavy cavalry to stop them.

When they realized that it was impossible to escape, many of them turned into vampires and began to flee. Some even grew wings and tried to fly away.

Then came the thunder that pierced the sky.

After a while, an iron knight appeared in the eyes of these defectors.

Vines and frost are its clothing, and the scorches of thunder are its medals.

When Rand Nicholas emerged from the Iron Knight, the rebels realized how foolish they had been in attempting to defect.

Rand had no interest in communicating with these escapees. After he came over to take a look at the situation, he rejoined the Iron Knight and left.

Rand is planning to, and is already in the process of, carrying out population replacement with the surrounding nobles.

But these defectors will not become the population that Rand returns to those nobles.

Rand still held a grudge, although he knew very well that the defection of these knights and soldiers was largely due to the instigation of vampires.

But Rand didn’t care. He didn’t want to think about the reason. These people just had to work hard for him. Maybe in a few decades they would have a chance to get Rand’s pardon. Of course, they had to live to that time.

Back in the conference room, Rand stepped on the altar, and a moment later, a new version of Rand returned to this world.

This kind of rebirth and healing after sacrifice is completely different. If Rand can really carry the altar on his back one day, he may really be immortal.

Unfortunately, now the altar must be connected to the earth in order to work.

Maybe there was some mysterious connection to the ley lines, but Rand didn’t know what it was.

……

After conducting a physical examination on Rand, the Sanctuary’s top leaders felt relieved.

It’s not that Rand has never suffered serious injuries. He had a near-death experience when he was fighting orcs in the North.

The high-ranking officials of the Sanctuary are well aware of Rand’s ability to heal himself and be reborn.

So after Rand healed himself through the altar this time, everyone felt relieved immediately.

Everyone started to return to their work again.

And Lysa continued to stay with Rand.

Today, Lisa’s outfit is very simple, a dress and a small shawl, which is fresh and eye-catching.

Rand has changed from an iron knight into a black-haired young man. Although his appearance cannot compare with that of Lisa, it is not enough to spoil the view.

Rand has a peaceful and tranquil temperament most of the time. Although not eye-catching, it makes people feel comfortable.

Rand was explaining some of the work to Lisa at this time: “Actually, I think you should know everything, but to be on the safe side, I’ll explain more.”

“Now the development of our Sanctuary power includes the development of the sect, and the development of this sect includes the development of the Torch Church’s nascent sect.”

“In short, we need to continue to strengthen the development of the sect and increase our influence in nearby countries. In short, we need to carry out a certain degree of propaganda for the sect without causing hostility from local nobles, and use economic means to assist, such as giving away eggs or promoting some cheap and useful daily necessities.”

“As for the development of the territory, it actually means paying attention to the development of the population and the development of weapons and equipment. In short, we need to pay attention to people’s livelihood, and we also need to pay attention to magic weapons and engineering machinery.”

“The last thing is the reconstruction of the port. After the reconstruction of Crescent Moon Port is completed, our anti-Bolun Kingdom Ocean Alliance plan will be launched. The Ice Sea Pirates and some of our allies are already prepared, but there is no need to rush the promotion of the alliance. The goal is to gradually weaken and strengthen our side to prevent the Bolun Kingdom from fighting a decisive battle with us too early, which would result in both sides being destroyed.”

“That’s all.” Rand looked at Lysa. “Is there anything else you need to know?”

“Here, in the Holy Moon Territory, are there any arrangements that need to be understood and handled?” Lisa asked, blinking her eyelashes.

“As for the Holy Moon Territory, it will be mainly handed over to Taner. You can assist him according to the situation. My request to him is to try to absorb some of the hidden populations in the noble territories around us, and to develop the Holy Moon Territory normally.”

According to Rand’s prediction, by next year, the natural population growth plus the population plundered or exchanged will cause the population of his core territory to swell to 5.5 or even 6.

Such a population growth rate is extremely exaggerated, especially when the Sanctuary forces have not completely stayed away from the war.

Such a population growth rate, especially when the proportion of foreign population is large, will inevitably bring about many governance problems. However, compared with the value of the increased population, the governance problems are not worth mentioning.

Rand has his own way to stabilize the territory.

“Then there’s nothing to worry about.” Rand said after thinking for a moment.

“Is it time to get off work next?” Lisa’s voice became a little lighter.

Rand looked at Lysa with empty eyes.

During work hours, Lysa tends to be reliable and dependable.

But if it’s after get off work and there’s nothing special that requires seriousness, Lisa will become a little strange.

And the word “weird” is a very mild one. In fact, there is nothing wrong with calling Lisa a super pervert.

So when Lysa mentioned the word “off work”, Rand basically felt that Lysa was going to become a little weird.

“Let’s go out for a walk?” Miss Lysa suggested.

Rand was a little confused, not knowing what Lysa was trying to do.

Although Lisa has a perverted personality, she always maintains a dignified and arrogant attitude in front of outsiders. If she goes out, it must be for serious business.

So after get off work is overtime time?

Rand changed his clothes and followed Lysa out.

The newly planned Holy Moon Territory was originally a ruin, and due to the previous battle, the environment here became even more dilapidated.

The post-war wasteland has a strong flavor, but it’s just a medieval wasteland.

There were broken walls, corpses shriveled by plants, and land that looked as if it had been crushed by a giant beast—the ground was covered with scaly indentations and large, winding tracks that were several meters long.

Such traces were left by Rand’s greatsword and Lysa’s plants. Such an environment is not really a pleasant scenery.

Perhaps under the warm autumn sun, the only thing that can be called a scenery around is Lisa with her white hair, golden eyes and fluttering clothes.

Rand and Lysa take a walk in the woods.

The autumn wind is getting colder and colder now, but for Rand and Lysa, the cool autumn wind is not considered to be too chilly.

The maple forest in late autumn was shaking off gold foil, and the wind blew through Lisa’s white hair. A few strands of hair stuck to her lips, like a butterfly that had landed by mistake.

The forest paths were paved with hazelnuts and acorns, and the dead leaves made a crisp sigh when they were crushed underfoot.

If you ignore the corpses in the distance that have not yet been disposed of, the woods here have the atmosphere of a picnic.

Autumn outing, this word is already a very distant memory for Rand.

After coming to this world, Rand seldom had the mind to go on such an outing. It’s not that he had never done so, but faced with so many complicated things, it was actually very difficult for Rand to really let go of everything, empty his mind, and go on a real walk.

This day allowed Rand to relax a little.

It was this quiet and beautiful Lisa that made Rand a little uncomfortable.

Although Rand doesn’t hate it.

Ryza’s appearance was undoubtedly stunningly beautiful.

Her rare white hair and majestic golden eyes bring out her unique arrogant temperament.

If Lysa could remain so cold and quiet, she might easily become Rand’s dream girl.

Even though he rarely knew Lysa’s nature, among the hazelnuts and acorns, among the golden leaves, Rand would still be attracted by the quiet Lysa.

Rand was not a person who judged people by their appearance, but at this moment he really felt a rare sense of peace.

“Beautiful view,” Rand commented.

Lysa was not conscious of her beauty. Her beautiful golden eyes swept across the golden leaves around her: “The autumn in the Elf Forest is as beautiful as this place.”

In fact, the autumn in the Elf Forest is much more beautiful than here, and there are no corpses lying in the mud to spoil the scenery, but for Lisa, the forest here makes her feel more comfortable.

After all, the Elf Forest is no different from a cemetery to Lisa.

“What is the Elven Forest like?” Rand asked.

“Real golden leaves.” A bright yellow golden leaf appeared in Lysa’s hand. The golden leaf was as dazzling as Lysa’s golden eyes. “Under the huge golden tree, when the breeze blows, the golden leaves will fall like a dream.”

“At least the scenery sounds fascinating,” Rand commented.

Lisa also nodded her chin: “It’s a pity that there is only the scenery.”

The two of them did not stop for chatting and soon entered the depths of the forest.

There is no longer the faint stench of burnt corpses from the battlefield outside. The place is full of vitality. Under the leaves that are as bright as gold are nimble rabbits and sharp deer.

Occasionally, there would be some small animals that thought they were quite ferocious and bared their teeth, demonstrating against a man and a woman who accidentally strayed into the depths of the forest.

After a while, Lisa stopped and asked, “Do you like taking a walk?”

“I quite like it.” Rand squinted his eyes and smiled, “I am very happy today.”

Lisa glanced sideways: “I like it too.”

Relaxing was a luxury for Rand, but for Lysa… Rand often had no idea what was going on in Lysa’s mind.

Then, Lisa narrowed her eyes and said, “But today’s walk ends here.”

Lysa took out a collar from somewhere, put it on herself, and then put the rope on the collar into Rand’s hand.

Then Lisa knelt down without hesitation, lay on the ground, and turned back: “Squeak——”

Lysa was not very good at imitating animal sounds. Today, since she was just out for a walk in the first half, she did not bring many props with her. However, Rand, who was very familiar with Lysa, could still roughly determine that Lysa was imitating a fox.

Rand laughed. Sure enough, it would end up like this.

It’s just that he doesn’t hate Lisa’s perverted appearance.

Maybe he has been corrupted by Lisa, even though he has always been a normal person!
Rand grabbed the rope and pulled it, controlling Lysa’s neck and thus the direction in which the fox moved.

He had walked a dog before, but never a fox, let alone a human-shaped fox.

Lysa crawled forward, sometimes raising her hips to signal Rand to hit her with branches and vines he picked up from the roadside.

Soon the pure white dress was stained with brown marks left by the branches.

“Ms. Fox, you took a right step first when you moved forward just now. This is not good, so I have to punish you.” Rand said sternly and coldly, “Do you have any objection?”

“Woo——” Lisa shook her head and avoided it, seemingly aggrieved.

The twig in Rand’s hand hit Lisa’s white dress accurately, leaving a shallow mark of damage on it.

The fox Lysa could only whimper, and then was driven by her cruel master Rand to continue moving forward. The woods were dark, and soon Lysa’s clothes, especially those behind the waist, became a little torn.

Occasionally, Lysa would look back and her eyes would meet Rand’s. The beauty’s eyes were tearful and dirty from the mud and the whip, which made people unable to suppress the urge to swing the whip.

Time quickly moved forward to evening and the game finally ended.

Lysa stripped off her filthy clothes at a speed Rand couldn’t see and jumped into the stream beside her.

Bathing in a stream in the wild is a very dangerous thing. No one knows whether there may be some dangerous blood-sucking insects or even terrifying piranhas hidden in the water.

But this is nothing to Lisa, ordinary creatures are not qualified to hurt her.

In the slightly cold moonlight, the water in the stream shimmered, making it difficult for Rand to see Lysa’s body clearly beneath the water.

Rand was actually quite familiar with Lysa’s body curves, but perhaps because he was shy, he had never actually seen Lysa naked.

However, Rand didn’t care and even found it interesting.

Lisa’s slender hands brushed across the water, and her hair, which had become messy due to fallen leaves and mud, became clean and smooth again.

Rand watched the beauty bathing by the river.

In the moonlight, Lisa looked like a goddess who had fallen into the mortal world.
