Chapter 635: Karin Returns
Ellie was outside enjoying the night breeze and met Olenna and Elsa who were also enjoying the night breeze.
"You knew about the situation a long time ago, right?" Ellie asked Elsa.
Elsa asked, "Are you talking about the identity of the goddess Lysa, or her lifestyle?"
Ellie covered her face: "It's just a life habit."
Of course, Ellie knew that Lysa was special and might have some weird hobbies. At one point, Lysa even pretended to be Rand's chair.
But Ellie didn't expect it to be so exaggerated.
"Yeah, I've stolen from her before." Elsa nodded.
"Well, does Rand also have that kind of perverted hobby?" Ellie said a little worriedly.
"Yes, it shouldn't be..." Olenna said softly. She was also very shocked to find that there was a god in the family. And if Rand really had that kind of hobby, then they might be in trouble.
At that time, we can only hope that Rand will be gentler.
"Oh, I hope not." Ellie propped up her chin to blow the wind.
It is autumn now, and the breeze is cool, but quite comfortable. Ellie, Elsa, and Olenna are enjoying the night breeze together under the night sky. It is a rare opportunity for them to relax together.
Ellie has been taken care of by Olenna since she was a child. They have known Elsa for a long time. She was coerced at the beginning, then voluntarily worked for Rand, and now she has experienced a lot.
"So we've known each other for almost ten years. I didn't expect that we've had such a good relationship all this time." Ellie sighed.
Although the family situation is strange now, it is actually not difficult for everyone to get along with each other, and the pressure as a mistress is still bearable.
"Thank you for your hard work." Elsa looked at Ellie with sympathy.
Everyone agreed from the beginning that Ellie would be the mistress of the family, and no one was dissatisfied with the arrangements Ellie had made so far.
And now, everyone admires Ellie even more.
Now there is not only the king in the family, but also the strange god Lisa.
It's hard to imagine how Ellie would handle family relationships today.
"Hey, hey, stop looking at me with that sympathetic expression," Ellie glared.
Elsa looked away.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about something else." Ellie changed the subject.
"I feel like I'm not far from breaking through to the King level." Elsa said.
"Change the subject again." Ellie glared again.
"Well, I think we can renovate our bedroom and make it bigger. After all, there are more people in our family now." Olena said.
Ellie nodded: "That's true, find a chance to renovate it."
"The plague in the south is probably caused by the Apostle of the Scourge himself. Has a similar situation occurred before? If so, how was it resolved?" Elsa asked.
Ellie and Olenna are more knowledgeable and should know a little more about history than Elsa.
"It has happened before. A brave man will be born in the world and defeat evil. But to be honest, this time may be different. In the past, the evil god himself took action, but now there is an additional vector of the plague. It may be difficult this time." Ellie said.
"And the heroes are not invincible. There have been cases where the evil gods have won and the heroes have failed. That was the dark age of the world."
"I hope the hero is stronger, otherwise too many people will die and Rand's century-old industrial plan will probably be delayed indefinitely." Elsa sighed.
The high-level officials of the Sanctuary were able to gather together because they all more or less agreed with Rand's ideas, and they certainly did not want Rand's development plan to be forced to be interrupted.
"So, the hero may have appeared. Does anyone feel suddenly powerful? It may sound arrogant, but it is possible that the hero is among us."
"No, everything feels normal." Elsa said.
Olena also shook her head.
…
The three beauties chatted for a long time at night.
At midnight, Elsa suggested, "We probably won't be able to rest until tomorrow morning. Do you want to have a midnight snack? Let me show you my cooking skills."
"That's fine. I'm looking forward to it." Ellie clapped her hands.
As the champion of the second cooking competition, Elsa's cooking skills are very trustworthy.
Elsa then quickly disappeared from the spot, and then caught a rabbit from the woods and a fresh fish from the river, then took Ellie and Olenna to the small stove and started cooking.
Soon the aroma appeared.
The three of them crowded in front of the stove and looked at the food in the pot, with Olenna and Ellie occasionally helping out.
The high-level officials in the Sanctuary are very familiar with the idea of cooking for themselves. Rand also likes to eat delicious food and he likes to make some delicious food himself.
Although Olenna and Ellie are not as good at cooking as Elsa and Rand, they have learned a lot after living together for so many years.
Therefore, now each of the senior officials in the Holy Land has a special treatment for a master.
After a while, footsteps were heard outside.
It was Rand and Lysa.
"I was wondering why I could smell the fragrance. It turns out you guys are cooking something special." Rand said with a smile.
Rand also raised the bag in his hand: "Fruits and vegetables, it looks just right."
Later, Rand and Lysa also joined the Xiaozao camp.
At the beginning, the three people in the special class did not ask Rand and Lysa why their noses were so sharp and they could smell it.
After they made some space, they let Rand light the stove and get a pot to start cooking.
If there are more people, we need to prepare more dishes.
Lisa, an elf who participated relatively less in the special group activities, also helped a little more this time.
As a goddess, her range for catching food was very long. Soon she caught a small bird from somewhere and plucked some crispy vegetables.
Together with what we prepared at the beginning, it becomes a very sumptuous midnight snack.
"The iron pot is really a great thing." After Rand and Elsa finished cooking, they cleaned it in advance. The iron pot in Rand's hand was the first iron pot of the Sanctuary Force.
Rand originally invented this iron pot, and it has become quite popular now.
Although it is a bit of a luxury to use iron to make pots instead of weapons, armor or farm tools.
But it is true that cooking with an iron pot is healthier and tastes better, and slightly wealthier families can afford the cost of an iron pot.
Anyway, most restaurants in holiday villas will have iron pots prepared.
Then everyone got a small bowl and started to have their midnight snack.
The drinks are fresh fruit juice, so it’s pretty comfortable.
After having a midnight snack, they washed the pots and dishes together and went out for a walk.
The night breeze was cool, and the group chatted, with Lisa occasionally saying a word or two.
Although everyone was still a little nervous due to Lisa's identity, they were somewhat relaxed. After all, they had known Lisa for nearly 10 years.
"Ms. Lysa, do you know the hero?" Ellie asked.
Lisa shook her head. "I've seen a few of them. It's not as mysterious as the legends say. It's just that when suffering and disaster come, there will be people with talent and luck who are willing to take up the banner and be crowned as heroes."
"It's not that there is no influence from the world's power at all, but the part that works is very small. In short, the world's power is very inflexible."
"As for the heroes of our time, I think Luca from the Sun Adventurer Team is a good possibility." Lisa didn't mean to hide anything.
"I'm very worried about the scale of this plague in the south," Rand said worriedly.
"This depends on your efforts. There is not much I can do about it." Lisa said, "But I can be sure now that the Scourge Apostle will take action personally."
"So, the chance to kill God is right before our eyes?"
Lysa glanced at Rand and said, "Maybe there is a chance. We can give it a try."
“I hope fewer people will die.”
“It should be difficult.”
"What's for breakfast tomorrow?"
“I recommend the crispy biscuits and spicy soup.”
"What are you having for lunch tomorrow?"
"Eat beef soup."
"And at night?"
"Eat Olenna."
"ah--"
…
Autumn of the 341st year of the Holy Calendar.
Before dawn.
Karin has arrived in the Old Holy City.
Karin spent her childhood and adolescence in and around the Old Holy City.
Those past memories have never faded, and become clearer as I revisit the old place.
The city walls are still majestic, but the most majestic, tallest and most magnificent building in the city, the Central Cathedral of the Torch Church, has now become a ruin.
The previous Torch Pope had betrayed the Torch faith and was executed by Karin herself.
Of course, since both sides suffered heavy losses in that battle and the Central Cathedral was reduced to ruins, the middle and lower classes of the Torch Church's Old Holy City might not be too clear about the details of the incident.
All they could see was the church turned into ruins, the former Pope of the Torch Church turned into a corpse or ashes, and a large number of top-level professionals wearing full body fire-resistant equipment.
Such terrible power was enough to decide the fate of a country, but it disappeared in the flames with a violent explosion.
Many of the middle and lower classes of the Old Holy City were not sure whether their Pope was fighting against some evil god at that time, or whether they were facing the Saint.
All they knew was that Karin Eldridge, the Saint of the Torch Church, had not been seen since that period of time.
But today, in this majestic city with a historic atmosphere, the saint came again.
Of course, Karin did not come alone this time.
There was a rumbling sound in the sky; that was the sound of three giant dragons passing through the clouds.
There was also the sound of flapping wings beside Karin. It was Rand's messenger, the crow Coke.
There is also a team of Dragon Blood Eagle Knights outside the city, ready to provide support at any time.
It is difficult to tell which is stronger, Karin's current combat capability or that in her heyday.
Karin now has a dual form with a normal posture and an explosive posture. The normal posture is weaker than her heyday, but the explosive posture is stronger than her heyday.
But Karin had no way of telling the specific situation. After all, theoretically, the only person she could practice against was Borlan. If she practiced against Borlan with all her strength, the noise of the battle between the two kings would be unconcealed. Moreover, if she consumed too much physical strength and energy, the enemy might take advantage of her.
But it doesn’t matter. The Old Holy City must be weaker now than before, and Karin is no longer alone.
Karin came here without hiding, so the Torch Church believers in the Old Holy City quickly discovered this blonde woman wearing a crown.
They knew that it was the Saint who came.
And if it is not handled properly, it may be the end of them.
The Saint's king-level combat power was difficult to deal with even when the Pope was still alive, let alone now.
Although the size of the Old Holy City's Turtle Faction is still there, it is not realistic for the Saint to kill them all.
But do they really have the awareness and courage to unite and fight a king?
Soon, Karin came to the ruins of the Torch Church's central cathedral, where there was a square where she used to execute evil and give speeches.
Karin used to hope that the grace of the Torch Goddess would spread to all who came to make the pilgrimage.
Of course, Karin later realized that those who were qualified to come for the pilgrimage were either rare free people, nobles or children of nobles.
Karin didn't walk very fast from the city gate to the square, but no one dared to stop this beautiful blonde girl.
In this way, Karin came to the square, and Crow Coke landed on a table high up in the square.
The autumn morning sunlight spread across the square and shone on the face of the saint.
Karin looked at the clergymen from the old holy city who were surrounding her nervously.
These clergymen pointed their weapons at their saint, they were very nervous, or rather, frightened.
Karin looked at the clergy of the old holy city; they didn't seem to be living too badly.
After all, the cultists have never been eradicated, and the nearby nobles will always need materials from the Torch Church.
This will generate transactions and profits.
The philosophy of the clergy of the Old Holy City is to stay inside, but the basic profitable transactions will not stop.
They just don't want to care about the overall situation of the world anymore.
And I feel that the Torch Church should be a political entity rather than a purely church organization.
The clergy of the Old Holy City hope to wait until the world truly realizes the indispensability of the Torch Church.
They use the Torch Church's unique power to fight against evil to coerce the world and gain power.
Perhaps if Rand hadn't appeared, the world would really be in ruins.
But these negative Torch Church members will never be able to gain power. Even if the world is in trouble, no one will believe that they can save the world.
Karin didn't come here to pardon these heretics.
She took off her crown and opened her eyes.
Everyone who came to the square was trembling, they felt like they were burning.
Some people want to escape, some want to resist, but they can only tremble.
At this moment, Karin was like a burning sun, able to turn everything into scorched earth at any time.
Everyone who faced her felt as if their bodies were immersed in magma, even though many of them had no idea what magma was.
Karin at this moment was completely different from the one in front of Rand, who was watching this place through Crow Coke.
The gentle Karin who wouldn't burn anyone seemed to have completely disappeared at this moment.
"Heretics, cowards, now I need you to obey me. This is your only way to atone for your sins."
"Obey me, or die."
Karin really couldn't kill all these people, but no one doubted the weight of these words at this time.
