Chapter 274 Soul Companion

"Hmm?" Lind looked up at Raniya.

"Remember when I first met you, you were just a fool following behind Kurt, a yes-man, talking about the eldest prince all the time." She pouted her lips and made a funny imitation, which was not like a queen at all.

Lind could not bear this provocation: "Don't slander me, I am not a hoarse eunuch. I was the one who played with Kurt most of the time. He was just an idiot. He was my yes-man most of the time."

"Rude, just like an animal that grew up in the forest, like a savage." Raniya did not intend to let Linde go, and chose to ignore the self-explanation that Linde added without authorization.

She continued her impression of Linde: "And like those impatient boys, he often peeked at the thighs of ladies, from the washmaid to the cook."

"And you" Linde would not deny it. He would never blush because of such slander: "I liked watching you the most at that time."

She's not shy about it, either: "I know, so I kicked your ass!"

"You don't have enough foresight, and you're not arrogant enough. You're not belligerent, and your talent is average, especially the lion's determination to win. I don't see any of that in you. You've brought shame to Armand."

"Are you here to criticize me?" Linde picked his ear.

He would not get angry about these criticisms, because they were not directed at him, but at the former Linde Armann.

Although he is the same person now.

"But you still have good qualities. I can feel that, sir."

"What?" Linder asked.

"Ambition!" Rania emphasized: "The ambition to rule the entire Rand Kingdom."

"I heard this statement from Her Majesty the Queen, and it is almost treasonous."

He did have ambitions, but unlike what Rania thought, his sights were never on the small land of the Rand Kingdom.

"It is because of your ambition that peace is in our hands at this moment. I need a companion."

"You want to be my companion?" Linde looked at Raniya in surprise.

Everyone who has come into contact with Lind knows that he has a goal in his heart, but no one has ever wanted to pass by him, and most people choose to follow in his footsteps.

The road ahead is confusing, and there are not as many people who are determined to follow in his footsteps as imagined. Most ordinary people just want to survive, and most soldiers just want to return to Goliath.

"Where is your goal?" Rania asked.

“Maybe one day…” It was the first time that Linde said this about the vague future he had been speculating in his mind, but his tone was extremely firm: “I will kill gods.”

He stared at Raniya's face and successfully saw the expression he wanted to see.

Raniya was shocked. She had tried her best to guess the reason for Lind's anxiety. In her opinion, Lind's strength was strong enough and this battle for national restoration was destined to be a victory.

In the future, Linde's name will be remembered by countless people.

But she didn't expect that what Linde said at this moment would be so arrogant.

"I'm sorry to scare you," Lind said. "It's very difficult to find someone who can communicate with souls. If you ask me whether I will leave with the Rand Army in the future, please rest assured that most of them... maybe all of them, will stay here to protect the Rand Kingdom. So they will be the force that protects you, and they can always be trusted."

The vast majority of soldiers do not have the talent to become stronger. The highest achievement of many soldiers in their lives is only to become a great knight. A few can reach a higher position. As for heroes... there are only one in ten thousand. Even with magic potions, this possibility will only be reduced to one in a few thousand, which is still a drop in the bucket for Lind.

They cannot keep up with the latest versions and may even feel overwhelmed.

Although Raniya was horrified by Linde's wild words, there was a strength growing in her bones that made her unable to help but speak: "You can't go far alone. You need a queen as a companion."

Lind looked at her in surprise.

He thought Rania would think he was crazy, but the result was different from what he thought. Linde continued, "You will die. If you fail, the gods may pull out your soul and whip you day and night, torturing you endlessly."

Raniya: "Then be a soul companion."

He admitted that he felt Raniya's charm. She was indeed a natural king. For a moment, he was indeed amazed by Raniya's decisiveness and tenacity.

He dared to be arrogant because of the information gap between the two worlds, but Rania was a "weak" queen who didn't even dare to drink magic potions casually.

"You look better?" Raniya looked at Linde with a smile.

“It’s really much more comfortable to have someone share the pressure.”

Lind nodded and asked, "So you are dressed like this to prepare?"

"I heard you gave a lot of work to everyone in the castle, and I live here too," Rania said.

"You?" It was the first time that Linde heard someone actively looking for a job.

He nodded: "I believe the undead will be happy to receive your bounty assignment."

……

The entire Troll Castle has been put into action.

All the experienced NPCs were mobilized by Lind.

The undead who were allowed to move in the restricted area were very cautious, because there were great knights everywhere and the defense was stronger than that of Star Dragon City.

Among them, the appearance of Queen Rania was definitely a surprise. She was not as weak as imagined, but like a female knight, heroic and valiant.

Defend, investigate, attack, or prepare siege weapons.

It is no exaggeration to say that Rania's appearance as a poster girl actually snatched a large number of undead from other novice villages, causing the undead who were not interested in the Troll Castle, which took several days to reach, to choose to travel a long distance to get there.

Linde gave all kinds of "authorities" to Rania.

Judging from the results, it is indeed better to promote it in the capacity of the Queen.

For example, the opening of the points store, named "Rand Kingdom Legion Store".

To open the store, you need to complete the unlocking task first. Only after the store is opened can you accept the tasks inside the store and use the Troll Castle points you earned to make purchases.

The model of charging for each step was an eye-opener for Raniya. She had seen nobles who took advantage of every penny they could get from ordinary people, but she had never seen anyone like Lind.

I have never seen those undead people who were exploited but kept saying "good".

The undead saw the "Snake Catcher's Path Potion".

There really is a new profession!

Completely different from other professions, the snake catcher's path immediately attracted attention in various regions as soon as it was announced, especially the discovery that it was equipped with 10 new skills.

Although each skill requires money to purchase, it seems reasonable to the undead.

There is no way to change other professions even if you want to spend money.

That’s 10 skills!

Lin Gou, you did a great job this time. I won’t hold you accountable for kidnapping the queen.
