Chapter 162 Enemies Meet
This world is full of malice towards cultists!
Especially those psychopaths in the Torch Church who like to burn people with fire.
Although the Torch Church members Rand has met so far are all good people except for those who seem to love money.
But these good people will treat him, Rand, as a bad guy.
All I can say is that Ellie's reaction was indeed quick. Although he no longer looked like the portrait on the wanted poster, Karin, the Crimson King and Saint of the Torch Church, had seen the true appearance of the legendary cult leader with her own eyes.
If I really get recognized, I'll be screwed.
Rand could not understand the power of the king.
He had seen the White King. It was winter at that time, and the wind and snow in the sky seemed to be endowed with the will of the White King.
But now, when I see the Crimson King Karin, I have a completely different feeling.
Rand knew that the bishop stationed in the Torch Church had sent a letter for help to the Torch Church headquarters, but why was it the Crimson King who came?
Do these cultists really need the presence of her "old lady"? When the Crimson King appeared, the shock he brought was much greater than when Rand first saw the White King. Perhaps when he was in the hideout, the White King had been suppressing his edge.
At this time, on this King's Road, Rand truly witnessed the king's strength.
There is no light pollution in the scene.
The Crimson King appears, and the air temperature rises.
There was no flame, or rather, the only flame present was the beauty with blonde hair and red eyes.
After the Crimson King appeared, the next moment, the undead that were originally wielding their weapons and marching suddenly stopped moving.
The bodies of the skeletons and zombies turned to ashes in an instant.
The rising temperature in the air is just the residual heat of the embers.
The top Scourge cultists flying in the air were even more stunned.
He was already very surprised to see that this team of people could almost break through with such a small force. He had been preparing for a long time and resurrected so many undead, but he still couldn't stop them.
But it is strange that this King's Road has so many fresh bones for him to use.
Unfortunately, all efforts have been wasted now.
As the most senior cultist who is hated by everyone, he naturally knows the Torch Church's highest combat power, the legendary Crimson King.
But why was he here? The Torch Church headquarters must have too many messes to deal with, right? Why was he so idle to wander around the Northern Union territory?
Unfortunately, he knew very well that his doubts were destined to remain unresolved.
There is no possibility of escape, and as for resistance, that is even more ridiculous.
The Crimson King stepped on the ashes-covered road with his cloth boots, looked at the cultists still flying in the sky, and said, "Do you have anything to say?"
The cultist flying in the sky did not answer, and green flames began to burn on his body.
The Crimson King stretched out her slender hands from under her ornate but rough cloth robe, and orange flames danced on her palms.
Compress, then project.
The orange flames transformed into the shape of javelins and pierced through the cultists in the sky who seemed to have given up resistance.
Immediately afterwards, the cultist who was pierced by the flaming spear burst into flames all over his body and then turned into ashes.
It’s really amazing.
Rand commented silently in his heart.
After Karin dealt with the cultists, she brushed off the ashes on her body. She didn't expect that she would encounter so many cultists just on the road.
And it seems that the nobles of this country are still under siege.
Are the cultists of the Northern Alliance so rampant now?
It must be just a coincidence, otherwise how dare these kings cut their donations to the Torch Church? Karin glanced at the nobles in the caravan and had no interest in communicating with them.
Although there was a man wearing a mask who looked very familiar.
It's too familiar.
Karin had no intention of wasting time on these nobles. Helping them out was a piece of cake. Besides, she came here to destroy the cultists, so it was her job.
After destroying the cultists, she planned to leave and had no interest in communicating with these nobles.
She had already seen the nobles' ignorance, greed, and shamelessness in the Torch Church's financial reports.
Karin stopped when she saw the masked man, and she couldn't remember any acquaintances she had in the Northern Union.
But he still stepped forward and bowed slightly, "I am Karin, the Saint of the Torch Church. Do we know each other?"
Rand was already sweating coldly, but he absolutely could not panic at this moment. It seemed that Karin only looked familiar to him. If he panicked, he might be maliciously speculated.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"I am the Viscount of Crescent Territory. Thank you for your help. I once made a pilgrimage to the Central Cathedral of the Torch Church. I may have seen you there."
Karin thought for a while, but she really couldn't figure out where she had seen Rand before.
Rand breathed a sigh of relief. He naturally did not dare to call himself Rand for fear of association. Moreover, his original body must have been to the Central Cathedral, so he was not lying, although the place he went to should be the burning chamber of the Central Cathedral.
Rand didn't know why he had to use words to avoid lying, as he had never heard that the Crimson King had the ability to detect lies.
Seeing that Rand didn't seem to like her very much and was somewhat resistant, Karin didn't bother him too much.
After taking a final look, she ignored the nobles around her who were trying to curry favor with her, turned around and left, got on her carriage, and signaled to the coachman that they could continue on.
Many of the nobles around him further confirmed that Rand had a background in the Torch Church.
Otherwise, why would the legendary King of Crimson actually come over and talk to a viscount?
Although they were not close enough, they did not hear what the two said.
But obviously, Rand is more important in Karin's eyes than the highest-ranking black and brown marquis present.
A newly promoted viscount with backgrounds in both the White Kingdom and the Torch Church and a newly promoted viscount with no background at all are naturally completely different in the eyes of these nobles.
Afterwards, as the noble intelligence network becomes interconnected, it is estimated that all nobles in the Frost Moon Kingdom will know this gossip.
I just wonder if it will be spread as anecdotes, such as the secret story of Viscount Rand and the Red King's past? It was not until Karin left that Rand finally relaxed.
He squeezed Ellie and Olenna's hands, indicating that the problem did not seem serious.
Ellie and Olenna certainly knew about Rand's identity. Before the civil war began, when they needed to put on makeup and go to Black and Brown City, they discussed this issue with Rand.
They just don't care. They don't care what Rand was in the past.
However, this objective problem will still cause some trouble to Rand, but fortunately, the Crimson King has not recognized her so far.
Rand looked back at the direction Karin had left, then asked the nobles to pick up the discarded baggage.
Karin didn't take the idea of meeting someone who looked like an acquaintance too seriously. Since she couldn't remember the person, he must not be someone she was very familiar with.
She had a lot of things to do when she came to Northern Union this time, which could be summarized as - making money.
