Chapter 450: Archbishop Kahn prepares to test (double monthly tickets! Please! There will be another update in the afternoon)
In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight shines through the towering stained glass windows onto the marble floor, casting mottled shadows and illuminating the bustling church.
This is the Torch Church Cathedral in the Moon Phase Duke Resort.
At first, this was just a temporary residence, and later it developed into a small church. Now, as the cooperation between the two sides continues to deepen, the church has been expanded again and again.
Today it can be regarded as the Cathedral of the Torch Church.
It is worthy of mention in terms of both specifications and scale.
The hierarchy of the Torch Church is different from that of the original Mother Goddess sect.
It is much more complete and complicated.
The Pope, the Patriarch, the Archbishop, the Cardinal, the Primate, the Metropolitan, the Archbishop, the Diocesan Bishop and other Bishops.
Below this is the system of deacons, priests, monasteries and nuns.
Rand had learned that as the Mother Goddess sect expanded, it might become as complicated as that, but for now, it didn't need to happen so quickly.
The current Mother Goddess sect is divided into five levels.
The Pope, the messenger and the Son of the Supreme Mother Goddess sect are all Rand himself.
The next highest is the Archbishop, who is Seth.
Next is the regional bishop, who is basically a bishop of the Torch Church's nascent sect who is willing to understand the Mother Goddess's ideas.
The next are missionaries, who serve as priests and vicars and have jurisdiction over an area.
Finally, there are ordinary believers.
Except for Rand, these five levels all have corresponding jobs, responsibilities and salaries.
The architect who built the Torch Church Cathedral in the holiday resort is very skilled and the scenery here is quite spectacular.
The towering vault is like a solid canopy, and the stained glass windows refract the sunlight into colorful beams of light, which shine through the windows onto the ground, forming mottled patterns.
The stone pillars on both sides are as tall as trees, supporting the vault, and the pillars are carved with exquisite reliefs.
Plus murals and statues.
The sacred aura is very obvious.
If Rand was really a cult leader, he would probably feel uncomfortable when he came here.
Bishop Kahn was handling business in the church office.
Karin went out on a field trip to check on Yuelu.
The new territory needs to be cleaned up carefully to avoid the presence of evil cult forces.
It would be truly shameful if a cult appeared in the area directly managed by the Mother Goddess Sect and the Torch Church's Nascent Sect.
After organizing the files.
Bishop Kahn stood up and left. He hung a sign in his office and wrote down his destination.
If it is not urgent, it will not bother him. If it is urgent, he can also find Bishop Kahn through this sign.
Today he was going to Rand to test the waters.
Walk through the familiar stone slab road of the ruins and up the stairs to the upper hideout.
The entrance to the upper hideout was guarded, but Bishop Kahn was able to pass through after providing proof of his identity.
The rule of the hideout is that one can only enter the upper hideout after verifying one's identity. Bishop Kahn has no intention of breaking the rules, so it is not a big deal to carry an ID with him.
Then we walked past a huge stone pillar with several rows of victims' names densely engraved in small characters.
There were some people around the stone pillar who came to pay their respects.
The upper-level hideouts were just heavily guarded, but it did not prohibit ordinary people from entering.
Ordinary people will be allowed to visit this stone pillar, on which are engraved the names of soldiers who gave their lives for the development of the hideout.
As well as the administrative building, it will also receive ordinary people.
It is a channel. If there is something that really needs to be reported directly to the administrator of the den, then you can come to the upper-level den to report.
After Bishop Kahn reported, he entered the Lord's Hall.
Bishop Kahn seldom came here, for he was not accustomed to the idea of the evil altar lurking nearby.
But now I've gotten used to it.
At least the power of the Mother Goddess Sect no longer makes him feel uncomfortable.
The hall is spacious, with a high ceiling and huge beams extending from the sky, as if a pair of giant hands firmly grasped the space. The surface of the beams and columns is uncarved, and the rough texture still retains the texture of the material, as if the power of nature is dominating here.
Look ahead along the red carpet.
It is a giant lord's chair that seems to be prepared for giants.
Rand's Seat.
The grand duke with black hair and black eyes was hidden in the shadows because of the huge chair.
Bishop Kahn, standing on the red carpet, was exposed to the sunlight coming in from the window nearby.
Bishop Kahn has a good relationship with Rand.
Bishop Kahn seldom felt Rand's majesty, but at this moment, he could feel it a little bit.
But Rand in the shadows quickly stood up, and his short black hair and black eyes appeared in the sunlight.
At this time, Rand returned to the familiar appearance of Bishop Kahn.
It is no longer the unpredictable kind in the shadows.
Bishop Kahn always wondered, if Rand really used his evil power to fight against the world, what would the world become?
It can only be said that it is a very lucky thing for the world that Rand possesses so much evil power.
Bishop Kahn blinked, indicating that he had something private to do.
Rand said that Olenna was not an outsider.
Bishop Kahn shook his head, indicating that this was something that Olena could not know.
Rand fell into deep thought.
He leaned close to Bishop Kahn's ear and said, "It takes a lot of time for me to feed these people at home."
Bishop Kahn's face was filled with black lines. He glanced at Olena who was standing next to the lord's chair and whispered, "It's not that kind of thing."
Rand looked puzzled.
But Rand still believed in Bishop Kahn very much.
After using Blessing 6 to take a look and confirm that it was one of their own, he let Olenna leave.
Olena smiled gently and left without asking any more questions.
Rand then asked in confusion: "What exactly is going on?"
"That is, what do you think of our Saint?" asked Bishop Kahn.
Rand felt that this question was somewhat familiar.
"Beautiful, powerful, and intelligent," Rand commented.
"Ahem." After receiving Rand's answer, Bishop Kahn coughed twice and then said, "I just think that we can further deepen our cooperation."
"What does this have to do with Karin?" Rand was puzzled.
"Marriage." Bishop Kahn uttered two words.
"Me, Karin?" Rand's eyes widened.
"Yes." Bishop Kahn nodded.
"I like Karin very much," Rand said.
Of course Rand likes Karin very much, but he may not have too many feelings in that regard.
But if Karin didn't mind, Rand would certainly be willing to accept Karin.
And whether from the perspective of interests or emotions, Rand would not push Karin away.
And it's a situation where whether the window paper is broken or not, the status should not change too much.
Bishop Kahn received the reply with satisfaction.
"Then take the initiative," Bishop Kahn said.
Rand said helplessly: "I know."
Now, two tasks appeared at once.
The Crimson King Karin Eldridge - Strategy progress (???) The White King Bran Calant - Strategy progress (???) Generally speaking, theoretically, from a realistic point of view, after practice, probably, the probability of pursuing these two kings from scratch is zero.
The White King is the king of the White Kingdom, and Karin is the saint of the nascent sect of the Torch Church.
There is no need to say much about the situation in the White Country.
And the Torch Church is a new sect.
Even if they didn't cooperate with Rand, would this faction, which was divided into three, be very weak? At least it was the strength of a principality.
If Karin's own combat capability is taken into account, it might be even more than that.
But without Rand's treatment, Karin's recovery would be very slow.
"So Lady Karin, is she here now?" Rand asked.
"I'm currently on a field trip, but I'll be back soon." Bishop Kahn said, then turned around and prepared to leave.
If Karin is away on a mission, Bishop Kahn will have to handle everything, as he has a lot to do.
Rand found Olenna again and continued his work.
Rand agreed that there was no point in Karin's matter.
In fact, Rand felt that Karin would be a little resistant.
We'll talk about it when we see Karin later.
…
Karin was now crossing her arms across her chest.
"Are you from the Mother Goddess sect?"
The man nodded.
"Who is your boss?" Karin asked.
The man gave a name that Karin didn't understand.
This man has a very sturdy build, with perfectly proportioned muscles all over his body.
And there are large areas of nakedness exposed.
In comparison, Karin, who also had a well-proportioned and beautiful figure, looked a little petite.
However, this man, who looked several times older than Karin, did not dare to resist the girl in front of him.
The man was not sure whether the creature in front of him that looked like a girl was really a human girl.
He would rather believe that this is a ferocious beast in human form.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The stronghold was breached in an instant by this girl and a group of paladins.
This is a well-fortified stronghold that is hidden! Karin thought for a moment, talked to his men, and asked, "Do you know Rand, Rand Nicholas?"
"Who is that?" The tall and well-proportioned handsome man was stunned for a moment.
This is confirmed.
A cultist.
Karin knew this.
The members of the Mother Goddess sect are also a cult organization recorded by the Torch Church.
The followers of the Mother Goddess who have not followed Rand are outright cultists.
Killing all the way here, there are many controlled, naked boys and girls, as well as wild beasts and unknown creatures.
Even if these people were really followers of Rand's Mother Goddess sect, they would be executed.
The final confirmation was made just because I didn’t want to overstep my authority.
This problem no longer exists.
"Lead the way," Karin said.
"What to bring?" The cultist tried to play dumb.
Karin no longer paid any attention to the handsome man with a well-proportioned figure.
Look at the other cultists in the venue.
"Anyone want to lead the way?"
Several clever cultists rushed to point at themselves.
The next moment.
A large number of naked handsome cultists who wanted to play dumb were turned into ashes.
There was no scream because it was done in an instant.
From flesh and blood to fertilizer for the soil.
Karin remembered that the teachings of the Mother Goddess sect also included farming and fertilizing, so she thought that this Mother Goddess believer was also following the teachings.
…
It's bigger than you think.
Karin called for backup several times.
Many of Rand's guards, paladins garrisoned from other places, and priests came.
Even Elsa came to help.
After several attempts.
Entered a small border town on the territory of the Kingdom of Lunsa.
After arriving in this small town, I felt a distinct sense of weirdness.
But there were clues before, so there is no need to investigate from the beginning.
Karin and Elsa divided the work.
Elsa led people to guard important checkpoints to prevent the cultists from escaping, while Karin went to the center to solve the main problem.
When the Torch Church and the Cult of the Sucking Blood were attacking each other, the other cultists were just rats in the gutter, and their power level was insignificant compared to these two sides.
During its heyday, the Torch Church was supported by all aristocratic forces and the royal family, had a large number of believers, and its internal conflicts had not yet intensified.
All the evil cult forces except the Blood of Nurturing are nothing but chickens and dogs.
Now...Kalin believes that after cooperating with the Mother Goddess Sect, the Torch Church can regain its former glory.
But obviously not now.
Therefore, to crush this evil, Karin needs to do it herself.
It is unknown how many followers of the Mother Goddess sect there are in this small town, but it is certain that none of them belong to Rand.
So there is no need to hesitate when taking action.
Walk through the streets.
Colonnades, vendors, pedestrians, officials.
The evil forces are obvious.
Karin was wearing a high-level ritual device for sensing evil, and she herself was also very sensitive to evil auras.
A sneer formed between Karin's soft, thin lips.
It seems that only members of Rand's Mother Goddess sect are not perceived as evil.
These truly evil members of the Mother Goddess sect are demons.
However, Karin did not take action at this time.
She has to deal with the big fish first.
A holy son was born in the Dark Fertility Goddess sect here.
We shouldn't alert the enemy now. We should deal with the so-called Son of the Dark Fertility Goddess later.
After dealing with it, it is time to clean up the remnants.
Karin was adept at these steps.
The target is the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion stands like a shining pearl in the center of the town.
The tall walls are built of solid stone, emitting a pearl-like glow in the sun.
Entering the palace, the first thing that comes into view is a huge fountain.
But behind these gorgeous decorations, there are many things hidden.
Karin could hear the lascivious music.
Can smell strange odors.
The guards who tried to come closer were turned into charred corpses one by one.
Karin senses her surroundings using temperature.
The target is locked.
But Karin didn't rush into anything.
The Torch Church has a set process for dealing with evil.
Everything is focused on annihilating all evil.
Should be considered comprehensively.
Eradicate all evil.
Soon, accompanied by the sound of orderly footsteps.
Many paladins and priests came to Karin.
Among them there are even top-level paladins transferred from other places.
After Karin realized that this was a larger cult problem, she applied for support without hesitation.
"Keep the formation." Karin ordered loudly.
As Karin's order came down, the Paladin squad formed into a formation and continued to march in neat steps with Karin towards the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
As the controller of the artifact, Karin is a strong person and assistant recognized by Bishop Kahn and has the highest status among those present.
The people in the City Lord's Mansion also discovered that they were being attacked.
Soon, many ragged men and women ran away screaming.
However, there are now a lot of troops surrounding the City Lord's Mansion.
None of them can escape until Karin either finds them innocent or annihilates them.
Finally, a naked handsome man with well-proportioned muscles and perfect body appeared in front of everyone.
He exposed every part of his body in broad daylight without any covering, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all.
However, judging from some physical characteristics, it can be seen that he is not of noble bloodline.
In theory, a civilian.
But none of this matters.
This is the enemy.
