Chapter 637 Could it be, could it be,... Linka is Karin?
Archbishop Seth's report was quickly delivered via magic carrier pigeon to Rand, who was working on the throne of the Holy Land.
"Ratman Quirrell agreed to my request. He will take action immediately and bring as many ratmen as possible to the ratman city we have designated." Rand said after reading the letter.
At this time, Ellie and Olenna were in the palace hall assisting Rand in governing the country, while Elsa and Lysa were out on field work again.
"The Rat Man actually agreed to your suggestion. Although we have always had a good relationship with the Rat Man, this plan is obviously very risky for the Rat Man."
Rand's plan is to require the ratmen to gather together to build cities, and then join the anti-plague alliance as a real force.
This will certainly enhance the cohesion of the ratmen race, but the risks are great.
Because ratmen can also be infected with the plague, and with so many ratmen gathered in one city, the consequences of being infected with the plague would be catastrophic.
Although Rand arranged many measures for them to fight the plague, in fact, in this obviously extremely serious incident, it seems that humans cannot protect themselves.
Rand may not be able to care too much.
To be honest, Rand's control over the current situation is very average, because as a cloud player of "Deep Moon", the last plot he knew was Grand Duke Vladimir's sacrifice to the gods.
Later on, Rand only knew that the plot was quite exciting, but he had no idea about the specific details.
Moreover, the emergence of Rand has changed the fate of the world a lot.
The fate of the Frost Moon Kingdom, the fate of the Borun Kingdom, the White Kingdom, the Tall Wood Kingdom, the Ice Sea Kingdom, the fate of the Wisteria Kingdom, the fate of the elves, the fate of the Torch Church...
All of this changed because of Rand's appearance.
After all, Rand Nicholas did not exist in the original trajectory of this world.
There is no lunar kingdom either.
Therefore, Rand had no idea about his future fate.
All Rand knew was that the Apostle of the Scourge had died in person.
This is the oracle of the Torch Goddess, and this is the interpretation of the Moon Goddess.
Therefore, Rand attached the highest importance to the disaster of this plague.
Although the only goddess Rand knew, Lysa, had a strange personality in front of him, making it difficult for Rand to be in awe of her.
But this does not mean that God is something to be despised.
Lysa said that her power in this body is very limited.
After all, power that reaches the god level will be rejected by this world.
But even this so-called "limited" power can still transform the golden world tree that seems to be able to support the heaven and earth into gorgeous fireworks.
Furthermore, God possesses not only divine power, but also authority and wisdom.
Rand no longer thought about these distant things.
He told Ellie, "Because the Rat-Man had no choice."
"Because if the ratmen don't try to change their reputation among humans, then humans will destroy them before the plague destroys them, right?" Ellie said softly.
Ellie certainly understood why the ratmen would comply with Rand's request.
But this is only logically correct.
Ellie was still surprised that Quirrell, the leader of the ratmen, could actually make up his mind to do such a thing.
This is like telling an ordinary person who is still relatively healthy that he must immediately cut off a leg and a hand in order to survive.
The vast majority of people can't do it.
And now the ratman Quirrell has made up his mind to do it.
"The ratman Quiro is a very powerful man." Rand smiled.
Of the three protagonists in the original world, Ellie was supposed to be the new king of the White Kingdom, but now she is the queen of the Moon Kingdom. Elsa was supposed to be the most terrifying killer in the world, but now she has become Rand's intelligence and security director.
Olenna seemed to have never existed.
And Quirrel, Quirrel is a hero of the rat people. He saved the fate of some humanoid races, such as orcs, ratmen, beast-eared people, and eagle-bodied people, and established the alien country. Now, he can be considered to be able to be driven by Rand.
Soon, the discussion about the rat man was over.
"Oleanna, is there anything else?" Rand stretched and carried Olenna, who was standing beside him, to the throne.
Now he sits on this throne all day to work. If it weren't for the blessing 1, he might have hemorrhoids by now.
But Olenna was used to standing all the time. Although it was difficult for top professionals to feel tired from standing, Rand still felt sorry for her.
Olenna felt a little embarrassed in Rand's arms, and Ellie also came over. She almost didn't feel embarrassed, except when she looked at Lysa before.
"There is one more thing." Olenna said while curled up in Rand's arms, "After Saint Karin's identity was exposed, some things need to be rearranged, such as Ms. Karin's detective agency, and the impact of Sister Linka's identity when helping to carry out the Sanctuary mission."
"This... let's not announce it openly and not acknowledge the relationship between Sister Linka, Ms. Detective, and Saint Karin." Rand thought it would be better to give Karin some face as much as possible. At least the official could not acknowledge these things.
But in private, it probably can't be kept secret.
…
Indeed, some people in the sanctuary and in the holiday resort at the foot of the mountain have already realized some of the problems.
The Holy Maiden of the Torch Church has reappeared and overwhelmed the old members of the Old Holy City. She is now driving the clergy of the Old Holy City to the New Holy City.
The news has now spread.
Generally speaking, even such a major event would only be circulated among the nobles at most, but times are different now.
The Moon Kingdom has a well-developed trade industry, transportation and adventurer industry. Such population mobility has brought about a strong flow of information.
Now many people in the holiday villa and the holy land have learned the news that the Holy Maiden of the Torch Church has returned.
However, many people who knew the detective lady at the holiday villa and the combat nun Linka who often participated in the operations felt that something was not right.
The detective's detective agency is closed, and there is a sign on the door saying that she is away on business.
Battle Sister Linka belongs to the Torch Church department. Although she also holds a position in the Sanctuary, the message from above was simply that the battle sister had been transferred, with no other explanation.
Rand didn't need to give any other explanation.
Anyway, the official will not acknowledge Karin's previous identity in any form, otherwise Rand can still imagine Karin's social death, and Rand still has to work hard to protect Karin's sense of shame.
Although Karin’s previous roles in the resort and the sanctuary have not been acknowledged in any form.
Many people have made speculations.
After all, once you start to doubt, many things will seem like déjà vu.
Originally, a blind blonde girl was a little eye-catching, but Karin had disguised herself and no one outside could recognize Karin's identity at a glance.
Karin's portraits also appeared in many places, and they would be easily discovered if they were not concealed.
Moreover, her appearance was too beautiful. It was no problem for her to be a saint with such appearance, but it would be easy to be affected when she was an ordinary detective. Therefore, Karin concealed her appearance when she was a detective and a combat nun.
Only Rand can often appreciate the true appearance or body.
But now, Miss Detective has disappeared, Miss Battle Sister has disappeared, and the Holy Maiden of the Torch Church has appeared...
Although it is strange to associate a neighbor in real life, a boss at work, with the legendary incarnation of flame, the Crimson King.
But I just can't help but make associations.
There are many blondes in this world, but almost no one with red eyes. The most famous person with red eyes at present belongs to the Saint herself.
Both the detective lady and the battle nun Linka had their eyes covered, so no one knew what color their eyes were.
This is nothing in itself, there are many extraordinary people in the Holy Land, but considering the current situation, it is very intriguing.
At this time, opposite the detective agency, Ayesha, the chief alchemist of the Sanctuary who runs a perfume shop, was chatting with Cuiyu, the half-elf wizard of the Burning Steel Adventurer Team.
This half-elf wizard is the master of the half-elf wizard of the Sunshine Adventurer Team.
"Have you heard? Saint Karin has returned." Ayesha pressed her chest on the table to reduce the burden on herself, and said to Cuiyu with a smile.
"I heard that the Saint returned this time to solve the plague that His Majesty Rand told us about seriously? I always thought that the Saint..."
"It seems that the Saint is not injured and is in good health." Ayesha tapped the table lightly with her fingers, still smiling, and promoted the latest blended perfume to Ms. Cuiyu.
"Maybe the Saint Lady can remain healthy forever because of our perfume." Ayesha said with a smile.
"Come on, I admit that the perfume you make is indeed of high quality, but what does it have to do with health?" Cui Yu said helplessly.
"Then I would like to introduce you to my latest perfume, a mixed healthy perfume. I added a lot of medicinal herbs. You can drink it. At least it really nourishes the body." Ayesha frowned.
Cui Yu was still helpless. Ayesha was great at making perfume, but she seemed to be obsessed with making some weird things recently. What kind of perfume could you drink? "Really, Miss Ayesha, I want to ask, when will the detective agency across the street reopen?"
Ayesha smiled, "Maybe the Saint has disappeared again, so the door will be opened? Why, do you need a detective? I've watched a lot of detective work over the years, and I might be able to help with small problems."
"What you said...it's as if we have never seen the detective's eyes, and she doesn't seem to be blind." Cui Yu and Ayesha continued to gossip.
Ayesha likes selling perfume very much. One reason is that Ayesha really likes to make perfumes, and the other is that selling perfume allows her to chat with other people about gossip, which is also a very interesting thing.
"It seems that you have the same feeling. Oh my, could it be that our usually smart and kind detective lady is really the legendary Saint of the Torch Church?" Ayesha chatted with a smile.
After a while, seeing that Cui Yu still had no intention of buying a certain perfume, she decided to use her ultimate move.
"Ahem, I actually have another perfume here that you must need." Ayesha blinked.
Cui Yu curled her lips inwardly. Ayesha was a person who loved selling things. She participated in the Frost Moon Kingdom Knight Competition that year and did a lot of publicity for Rand.
Ayesha is good in everything except her enviable figure and her endless tricks to sell things.
"I heard that the captain of the Burning Steel Adventurer Team prefers the scent of osmanthus." Ayesha took out a small glass bottle with gorgeous colors from the counter, "New model, secret recipe, osmanthus scented perfume."
Ayesha's long eyelashes fluttered along with her eyelids: "How about this? Since you are a regular customer, I'll give you a 20% discount."
“Ayesha!!!” Cui Yu’s face turned red and her tone became sharp, “You you you,…”
Ayesha kept smiling: "Do you want it or not? If not, I'll put it away."
"Hey, no, I want it, I want it." Cui Yu was a little anxious.
Soon Ayesha waved goodbye to Cui Yu who was leaving.
"Hehe." Ayesha chuckled.
At the same time, many residents of the upper sanctuary and the lower holiday villa were discussing the matter of Saint Karin, and the discussion within the Torch Church was particularly intense.
When the Saint disappeared, the newborn members of the Torch Church were very upset.
But now they were told that the Saint was still alive and had conquered the heretics in the Old Holy City.
This, this, does this mean that the Torch Church is going to reunite into one?
This made the members of the Torch Church's newborn sect very excited; this good news came too suddenly.
Moreover, Sister Linka has some influence within the newborn sect of the Torch Church.
Everyone is curious about the origins of this powerful combat nun. Now it seems... maybe she is the Saint herself.
No wonder it's so powerful.
Those Torch Church believers who had worked with Linka were particularly excited. They had actually worked with the Saint!
How lucky we are.
Although Ms. Linka is only "suspected" to be Lady Karin.
…
And just as the Saint Lady was driving the believers of the Old Holy City to the New Holy City.
Just as the ratman Quirrell began to gather the ratman tribes to go to the ratman city that Rand had designated for them.
Just when the Northern Alliance began to convene meetings of nobles and popularize the strengthening of education and health scriptures.
As a powerful country in the south, the patriarch of the Lionheart Family, the in-laws of the Thorn Family, and the king of the Lionheart Kingdom, was watching the report with a serious face.
He sent several messengers to the Moon Kingdom, but none of them returned.
Now several Dragon Blood Eagle Knights have come here to deliver the letter.
Obviously, something was cutting off the information channel from the Lionheart Kingdom to the Moon Kingdom.
In other words, this information truncation is a truncation between the South and the North.
"Are there Death Knights roaming the wild, trying to kill you?" asked the King of the Lionheart Kingdom.
The Dragonblood Falcon Knight nodded and said, "It's not that powerful, but it's already a certain size. It's understandable that your messenger didn't come back. However, I still suspect that a more terrifying force has set its sights on your country. Please pay attention."
