Chapter 272: The One-Armed Chef and the Sulphur Judge

The White King and Karin actually doubted each other.

The White King suspected that this was the place where Karin hoped to make a comeback.

Karin wondered if Rand had any special relationship with the White King.

Otherwise, it would be too mysterious for the King of Crimson to play a detective game in such a small place.

It was unbelievable that the White King would trust his own sister to a young viscount from another country.

However, at this point, they are well aware that it is a very offensive thing to pry into other people's secrets too much. Their relationship is not good, but they recognize each other and have not gone to this extent.

Therefore, although there were doubts in their hearts, they suppressed their inner curiosity.

The White King's sight and Karin's perception were focused on the cooking competition in the venue.

Now that the time limit is almost up, the contestants put down their kitchen utensils and began to wait for the judges to evaluate their entries.

The judges were ready to start evaluating the contestants' works.

The final result was! The audition and preliminary rounds ended with only one judge foaming at the mouth and falling to the ground.

Those who entered the finals included a minotaur with agate rings inlaid on his horns, the elf teacher Vanilla, and a middle-aged lame one-armed knight.

Of course, there are also three seeded players.

There were nine judges who survived.

However, five of them had already taken a large amount of antidotes and healing potions, and their sense of taste had become less sensitive, so they had to withdraw from further selection.

And Rand was very considerate and prepared a generous "pension" for them.

There were only four judges who advanced to the finals, and one of them was a spectator temporarily selected from outside the venue for the sake of fairness and viewing experience.

However, this audience member seemed to have a very good appetite. No matter whether it was the Tauren's Underdark meal or the Centaur's wild delicacies, nothing happened after he ate them.

Next it was Rand and the important guests' turn to appear on stage.

To be honest, after seeing the auditions and preliminary rounds, White King and Karin no longer really wanted to be the guests and try out the works of the finalists.

The theme of the second cooking competition is aquatic products.

This also paves the way for Rand's next decision.

If we can successfully defeat the Anti-Development Committee and occupy that land, the long enough coastal area will bring a large amount of aquatic products to the hideout.

It is a very important step to let everyone start developing seafood dishes and let the public adapt to seafood.

This is also one of the reasons why Rand held the second cooking competition at this time.

"Then let us begin," Rand announced.

The six finalists began preparing their dishes simultaneously.

The Minotaur still used the Underdark’s specialty fish, a six-eyed eel, which looked rather unreliable, but considering that he had passed the auditions and preliminary rounds, the dish he produced was probably normal.

The elven teacher's choice of vanilla is a fish that looks very much like the pufferfish that Rand had seen in his previous life. It looks like it could be poisonous to people if not handled properly.

The one-armed, lame chef uses common river fish that can be caught in the river next to the holiday villa.

As for the three seeded contestants, Elsa chose carp, Captain Steel chose octopus, and the royal chef chose a golden fish that Rand did not recognize.

Karin and the White King sat in the guest seats waiting. Although they did not put a sign with their names on the table, the judges and contestants could still sense that they were of extraordinary status.

In fact, many people know Detective Karin, but since a legendary figure like Captain Steel also runs a restaurant in a holiday resort, it is completely understandable that Detective Karin has some other powerful identity.

No one cared too much.

Karin and the White King were somewhat concerned about one of the judges, the one who was chosen as a temporary judge.

"I smell sulfur," the White King whispered to Karin.

"The temperature is also very high," Karin commented.

"Half-demon?"

"uncertain."

That was all the conversation left to Karin and the White King, who didn't talk much afterwards.

There are many things like this in this world, and they are not worthy of much attention.

Compared to half-demons, the violent orcs in the North are more worthy of attention.

The White King has already sent people to support the Ice Sea Kingdom, which is at the forefront. She knows very well that the situation in the Ice Sea Kingdom is not good.

…

Alex often demonstrates his strong force.

Although the kingdoms in the south are not as overly devoted to personal force as the barbarians in the northern alliance.

But brave people are always more likely to gain respect from others.

Not to mention, Alex, as the second prince of the Kingdom of Bollen, has noble blood and outstanding status.

To be honest, if I hadn't heard that the meritorious and famous Snow Fox Countess had been repeatedly defeated by this Viscount Rand.

He had no interest in dealing with such trivial matters.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Alex rode his earth dragon mount and patrolled the military camp.

The bandits in the Burning Land were originally considered troublemakers, and few dared to look him in the eye.

In particular, a few who dared to challenge him were also defeated by Alex.

And Alex was very "merciful" and did not blame them, he just placed them at the front line.

Alex discovered that the anti-development committee had quite a strong military force.

The knights were brave and good at fighting, and the infantry were not pure conscripts whose weapons and armor were only sloppy.

Plus the kingdom’s military support.

With the good time difference this time, Alex is sure to win.

Maybe this Viscount Rand does have some tricks, but Alex believes that he will win without a doubt.

No matter how powerful a general is, or how great a strategy is, it cannot be better than a deliberate plan.

At the same time, Fenris set out with his men once again, this time with the mission of clearing and investigating and perfecting the map.

Although the three generals of Full Moon Territory did not understand why Rand was so confident.

But they trusted Rand enough, just as Rand trusted them.

So now what they have to do is simple.

Help Rand eliminate all possible unexpected factors and ensure that the victory in Rand's eyes will come safely.

After Fenris went out, Serai and Taner reported the recent situation near the Full Moon Territory, then said goodbye to Taner and left the command room.

Taner looked at Serai, who was covered in scars, in a daze.

When he first met Serai, he was a tall, shy young man.

Serai survived the war, but the names of many people like Serai have been engraved on the giant stone pillar in the center of the hideout.

Taner looked away.

He looked at the letter Rand sent again.

"Make sure everything is done properly."

Although Rand was very confident that victory was certain, at the end of the letter he still asked Tandor to pay more attention to the maintenance of weapons and armor and to check the food rations.

And do more reconnaissance and don't give the enemy any chance.

Minimize possible sacrifices.
