Chapter 502: Chapter 413 Rand Kingdom S1 Ladder Match

Lind passed through the long corridor, walked past the garden before the palace’s highest point, climbed up the stone stairs, and pushed open the grand door.

The spacious top veranda, where Rania was reviewing messages from various regions atop the Golden Throne.

The sudden frontline battles of Black Marsh Kingdom demanded a great deal of her energy. Even though the Undead tirelessly fought at the front, conquering Thousand Faces City seemed like a trivial matter set in stone; however, the subsequent resettlement issues and the promotion of law still troubled her immensely, causing her to lose quite a bit of hair.

The completely chaotic finances and endless miscellaneous issues were overwhelming.

Hearing the door open, Rania looked up at the visitor.

Compared to her own busyness, Lind seemed relaxed, an attitude that was somewhat irksome.

Rania highly suspected that Lind’s choice to continue his loyalty to her rather than become king of the Rand Kingdom was because he had foreseen such a day.

To someone of Legendary Level or even Epic Level, the power of a kingdom was truly trivial.

As for loyalty? How could a knight who truly pledged to protect the Queen possibly carry the Queen on his shoulders!

Indeed, Lind thought this way; the Undead were his precious resource and could potentially be an explosive enemy at any time. Among the NPC locals, the ordinary people could only manage to stay alive.

In the early days, he had the energy to look after ordinary people, but now, even the Great Knight couldn’t keep up with the evolution of the game version, and Lind had no energy left to take care of them.

He had too much to study—deities, magic potion formulas, Starlet, Abyss, Magic Land, and more. Ordinary people were no longer on the same level as him, and caring too much for them could only sap his energy.

In a way, Rania’s presence saved him a great deal of mental effort.

"Are you done with your tasks?" Rania asked.

Lind nodded. His etiquette was impeccable as a knight, except when he allowed the Queen to assume the knight’s role at night.

"We’ll convene in a few days, and I’ll need your help at that time," he said straightforwardly.

After careful deliberation, Lind decided to take some outstanding and loyal Undead to Magic Land. Even if the Undead couldn’t play a significant role, their fearless attribute suited them well for scouting.

For the Undead, heading directly to the "Borderlands" was akin to skipping numerous game versions and entering an entirely new grand map; there was absolutely no reason to refuse.

Selecting these people wasn’t hard—first, look at their combat strength, then their usual performance, which is their War Points.

Most importantly, they must have endurance!

What he needed were super tool persons.

This time Rania didn’t persuade Lind to stay. It was as impossible as her leaving with him; she needed to stay on this land for the sake of her kingdom.

Similarly, Lind had many loose ends to tie up within the Rand Kingdom, but nothing too serious. He could return anytime using the Subterranean Tunnel Worm.

Rather than waste time waiting here, it was better to seize the time to upgrade himself. If there truly was a need for him to return, he could always come back later.

Before the major game update, obtaining Epic and Legendary Potions was what Lind needed to do.

"What about the situation at the Great Rift in Black Marsh Kingdom?" Rania still worried a bit.

This time departing, Lind only took William and Tione, but missing him was like missing a significant force; maybe there would be some mishaps at the Great Rift of Black Marsh Kingdom.

"The Rand Kingdom now far surpasses its former self, and Black Marsh Kingdom also has over ten thousand Undead."

The military strength had doubled; over twenty thousand level 30 Undead made their combat power more than double.

Lind had already given many people the Serpent Ring Emblem. The resistance medicine production of the deliberately cultivated Pustule Exiles had greatly increased; facing the Abyss, they no longer had a significant threat.

However, Abyss equipment might be in short supply. Lind was powerless about this. In the future, if the Undead wanted Abyss gear, they would have to farm Abyss Monsters themselves and scavenge from them. Maybe the prices for Abyss gear would skyrocket later.

"If there’s real danger, I will come back!" Lind made his promise.

Perhaps what Rania needed was just that assurance.

Unlike those craving absolute power, Rania was well aware that from the moment they met, they were deeply tied together.

In private, Lind was not referred to as "Duke" or "General" in outside rumors but as "God of the Present World."

Their relationship wasn’t that of Lord and Vassal but more like a new bond of Divine Authority and royal power.

Rania asked, "What about those Green Skins?"

News of Green Skins unexpectedly attacking Raven City had reached Goliath.

The Green Skins who worshipped the "Sea God" were indeed trouble, but they weren’t very durable, which is why Lind didn’t take them seriously.

Like a toad on the foot, disgusting but not harmful, they still needed to be dealt with.

"Send the Crimson Knight to the Great Frozen Land," Lind said nonchalantly.

As long as the Green Skins were blocked in the Great Frozen Land, there was no need to worry too much about them. These creatures, robust like cockroaches, couldn’t be completely eradicated and always popped up in various places. Managing to disperse them out of sight and out of mind would be considered a success.
