Chapter 257 "Torch Church" Senior Management Meeting (Seeking Tickets~)

Karin was sure that her life was a complete failure.

The most heroic moment may be the moment when you ascend to the throne of the Brilliant Red King.

Then the vicious cult leader was arrested, and after that, the Torch Church never recovered.

The Torch Church, which had stood for hundreds of years, completely fell apart in her hands.

Although in the past Karin has always held herself to the knowledge and moral standards she learned in the Torch Church.

But she was very unconfident. After all, according to that standard, although she could not be said to have destroyed the Torch Church personally, her responsibility was definitely not small.

Looking at the thief standing in the moonlight who was trying to make an evil deal with her, Karin hesitated.

After thinking for a while, Karin said, "If you can stop your evil behavior, I can help you apologize."

Elsa pursed her lips, feeling that her path to becoming the best chef would end here.

But now it is very troublesome. She may not be able to escape. The person on the other side is obviously a good person, and she is embarrassed to take action.

And even if we really fight, we may not be able to win.

Elsa brushed away the hair that had fallen on her lips and said, "Yes, please help me apologize to the restaurant owners."

This way the matter is resolved, Karin said to herself.

Although they did not succeed in catching the nighttime food thief who "took control" of the food without permission, the troubles of the restaurant owners were solved, so it can be considered as a job well done.

It's just that the completion is not so perfect.

"Then..." Karin hesitated and said, "Let me taste your cooking? Otherwise it would be a shame to waste it."

Elsa blinked. During this period, because he didn't want people to find out that he was preparing for the next cooking competition, Rand also went to Manyue Territory.

Therefore, Elsa has never had anyone taste the food, and has been working in isolation. Now that someone is willing to give it a try, it's a good opportunity for her to test her own level.

Elsa and Karin returned to the restaurant.

Elsa put the food from the pot onto a plate and said, "This is a normal stir-fry of vegetables."

Karin brought over a bowl and a spoon and took a sip.

Chew and swallow.

Elsa watched nervously.

Karin savored the dish for a while and commented, "It's amazing. I think it's better than many dishes in restaurants. It uses only ordinary ingredients, but the taste is surprising."

Elsa felt relieved, it seemed that at least someone would be satisfied with her cooking skills.

I just wonder if Rand, the man who calls himself the king of food, feels that his cooking skills have improved?

"Then the next step is to fry the meat." Elsa cleaned the bottom of the pot, and then a piece of meat suddenly appeared in her hand.

"You're stealing," Karin commented.

"I'll give the money," Elsa explained.

"That's forced buying and selling, and arbitrarily controlling other people's property."

"This is your last chance." Elsa hoped that Karin would be flexible and said that she would never do such a thing again and that she had already planned to apologize.

Karin tilted her head and acquiesced reluctantly.

Then there are stir-fried vegetables and meat, and fried steaks.

These are very common dishes in the restaurants in the holiday resort. Elsa's cooking methods and the seasonings she uses are also obtained from these restaurants.

The kitchen utensils are also borrowed.

However, Elsa's precise control over ingredients, seasonings and heat still made the dishes so amazing that even Karin was amazed.

Karin does not advocate extravagance, but as the King of Crimson, she has also participated in various large-scale banquets.

I have tasted some of the world's best dishes.

It cannot be said that Elsa's level has surpassed the level of the chefs Karin has seen.

But Karin was still surprised that Elsa could create such a soulful dish using simple ingredients and simple cooking methods.

What Karin doesn’t understand now is why Elsa doesn’t buy the ingredients herself, but only borrows ingredients and kitchen utensils from the restaurant to practice at night.

Is it possible that Elsa's identity here is shameful?

"They're all very delicious." Karin commented briefly.

She didn't intend to delve into the reasons why Elsa did this. Although she was a detective, she was not very curious about such things.

Anyway, Elsa doesn't look like a bad person.

Just like that, the incident of missing food ingredients from the holiday resort restaurant came to a successful conclusion.

Karin's detective career has also begun.

…

The evening breeze dissipates a lot of summer heat.

Early in the morning, when the sun had just risen slightly from the horizon, Bishop Kahn returned to the holiday villa.

Due to the continuous construction and overtime work of the prisoners in the labor camp, the Torch Church chapel has taken shape.

It is estimated that it will be officially available after some time.

In comparison, the construction of the church school started much earlier than that of the Torch Church Chapel, but the progress of the project so far is not as good as that of the Torch Church Chapel. It is estimated that it will not be officially completed until next spring.

Bishop Kahn plans to meet with Taner and Fenris urgently to ask them whether they are aware of the mutual exclusion between the divine powers.

Bishop Kahn walked up the stairs leading to the hideout.

…

At the same time, Karin finally plucked up the courage to go to the upper hideout and truly explore this land full of evil forces.

However, she did not intend to take the conspicuous staircase, as the path on the stairs was clearly visible and there was no place to hide.

And she was not qualified to visit the upper-level hideout without a legitimate reason.

So her choice was to climb along the cliff wall and sneak in secretly.

Karin changed into a tighter outfit, as she might face a battle next, and sneaking into the upper-level hideout in a detective outfit could no longer provide her with an excuse.

After painting the metal parts of the arm guards and shoulder armor black to avoid glare and attracting attention, Karin took action.

…

Bishop Kahn walked past the giant stone pillar in the center of the den.

Some of the names there looked familiar to him.

Now Bishop Kahn knew what this giant stone pillar was used for.

He had some respect for Rand.

Although this Rand is indeed a cult leader who is good at using evil forces.

Now, as the nature of the new divine power was discovered, his aversion to evil had indeed weakened a little.

But emotionally, it is still a little difficult to accept in the short term.

Walking some distance across the ruined floor of the upper hideout, he pushed open the door to the conference room.

Tanr and Fenris are already waiting here.

…

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Karin entered the den.

Even if we ignore the evil forces here, this place is not very normal.

In the distance there was a huge metal chimney-like building with smoke coming out.

The floor looked like it had been pried off from the ruins.

In the center of the upper hideout is a giant stone pillar with many names engraved on it.

Karin hid in the shadows, sensing every person who passed by.

After a while, Karin began to perceive the power of the Torch Church.

Is it Taner, Fenris, and...? An equally blazing high-ranking professional of the Torch Church.

Why are there so many high-ranking professionals from the Torch Church in the territory of this evil cult leader? Karin walked stealthily in the shadows.

…

"When fighting against the undead in Crescent Territory, I discovered..." Bishop Kahn sat in a chair in the conference room.

Bishop Kahn was observing the expressions of Tanr and Fenris as he spoke of his findings.

I found that they were not that surprised about this matter.

"So this is the reason why you chose to betray the Torch Church?" Bishop Kahn asked.

"No!" Taner denied, "First of all, we did not betray the Torch Church."

Bishop Kahn laughed. Although he knew that Rand was the leader of a cult but still decided to cooperate with Rand, he actually had no right to laugh at Taner.

But at least, he and Rand are still in an employment relationship now.

And Tanr has apparently sworn allegiance to Rand.

And Fenris, who apparently had the same idea as Tanr.

Ignoring Bishop Kahn's laughter, Taner continued, "Secondly, we did not make this choice because the power of the Torch Goddess is not that 'holy'. Our choice has nothing to do with this matter."

"Why is that?" Bishop Kahn had actually roughly guessed what Taner meant.

"I think this is the Torch Church. This is where the original ideals of the Torch Church can be practiced. This is the fire."

Taner's somewhat rough voice continued to echo in the fairly spacious conference room.

"There is no complete Torch Church in this world anymore. I wonder why we can't become the orthodox Torch Church?"

Bishop Kahn was speechless for a moment. How could a cult filled with evil power inherit the orthodoxy of the Torch Church? The Turtle Sect that hid in the Holy City and the Utilitarian Sect that went to build a new Holy City were much more orthodox than this.

At this moment, the three people in the conference room looked up at the roof at the same time.

"Come down!" Taner shouted.

A blonde girl dressed as a thief entered the meeting room through the window.

"Enemy." Taner's hand was on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Bishop Kahn's mouth opened wide, and his eyes widened even more.

"You're actually here." The blonde girl's voice was also a little shocked.

Just now, because what she heard and discovered made her too excited, she revealed her flaws and was discovered by the top leaders of the Torch Church.

"Tell me what you want!" Tanr and Fenris were ready to attack at any time.

Bishop Kahn explained: "This is the Saint Lady."

"???" Now Taner and Fenris also widened their mouths and eyes.

"It's over!" It's over now.

Taner knew how outrageous what he had just said was, and he only dared to say it now that Bishop Kahn was not so clean.

I didn't expect that the Holy Maiden of the Torch Church, the legendary King of Crimson, was also here?

I guess it's specifically used to purge traitors.

And now, he and Fenris were clearly traitors.

Tan Er was sweating profusely, his lips twitching as he said, "This, all of this is my own opinion, and has nothing to do with them."

Fenris sneered in his heart. What's the point of saying this now? But he still planned to struggle: "He came here as an undercover agent, and I came here to meet him."

Karin sneered, "So you two became undercover generals here?"

"I testify!" Bishop Kahn was also sweating profusely, but he was slightly better because he was sent here.

If you play dumb or cut it off, I guess nothing will happen.

But he could not accept the purge of Tanr and Fenris, so he stood on the same front with them.
