Divine Kingship

Chapter 258: The cowardly faction, the utilitarian faction, the beginner faction and... the hideout faction?

Due to lack of vision, Karin could not see the details of the expressions of the people present very clearly.

However, Karin could still feel the tension of Bishop Kahn, Taner, and Fenris.

It's obvious that these guys know what they are doing.

At least, he shouldn't have been brainwashed.

"Heh~" Karin exhaled slightly, "You can try to defend yourself."

Karin indeed hated rebellion, but she did not have such a bad impression of these high-level professionals of the Torch Church.

At least it's not to the point where they need to be captured or killed immediately.

Although they still don't like it, after all, it was the Torch Church that trained them, but they are serving the Torch Church's former mortal enemy, the cult leader Rand.

Have they all forgotten the harm that the Nurturing Blood brought to humanity during its existence?
There is also Bishop Kahn. Karin actually respects Bishop Kahn very much. When she was young, she was also taught by Kahn, who was then the archcardinal of this department.

This time, Bishop Kahn came to this evil land under her arrangement as the leader.

But now, Bishop Kahn obviously knows a lot, but still intends to go along with these people.

What kind of magic power does the cult leader have that allows the Torch followers, who seem to be rational, have normal thinking and excellent personal abilities, to serve him?

So even though she had no intention of killing them now, she still wanted to force them to tell her what they really thought.

As for what she had heard before, about building a new Torch Church here, she thought it was Taner's rhetoric to deceive Bishop Kahn.

Tanr and Fenris looked at each other.

Soon, You Taner explained: "What I said before is actually what I think."

"What?" Karin found a seat in the conference room and sat down, with her hands on her knees, waiting for Taner's next words.

"I think that even if it uses different powers and is not called the Torch Church, it can still be the Torch Church." Taner felt that his words were indeed unconvincing, but he did think so.

He was not a very smart man, and he couldn't come up with a reason to convince Karin to let him go.

As expected, after listening to his theory, Karin said sarcastically, "Good theory."

Then she looked at Fenris and Bishop Kahn who were present and asked, "Do you think so too?"

At this moment, sensing the commotion here, Inspector Elsa and Administrator Ellie rushed here.

Karin sighed slightly. This might be the end of the day. She probably won't be able to stay in the holiday resort anymore.

It’s actually a pity, as her detective agency has just started, and she quite likes the people and environment of the resort.

If she really worked normally until retirement, she would definitely choose to spend the rest of her life here.

It seems that there is no such opportunity now.

Just as Karin was about to leave, a voice called her, "Detective Miss Karin?"

This made Karin, who was about to escape, pause for a moment, and it was this moment that ruined the best opportunity to leave.

This voice is really familiar.

Bishop Kahn looked at Karin who was frozen in place, and then at Elsa who had a puzzled look in her eyes.

After thinking for a while, Kahn explained: "This is Miss Elsa, the inspector here."

Bishop Kahn also explained what the inspector does.

Elsa's face twisted a little.

She originally thought that the incident of secretly borrowing restaurant ingredients and kitchen utensils to practice cooking was over.

Now the only eyewitness has recognized her.

Karin turned back in silence.

This Miss Elsa and the magician behind Elsa came very quickly, but she did not have the ability to face five top professionals at the same time.

It might cost a bit to get out.

At this moment, Bishop Kahn looked at Elsa, whose face was a little distorted, and thought there might be some misunderstanding. So he explained, "This is Miss Karin, the saint of my church, the Lord of the Brilliant Red."

Now Karin really wanted to pinch Bishop Kahn's mouth.

How come she didn't know before that this venerable bishop was so good at talking nonsense?

Elsa's originally distorted expression became exactly the same as Taner and Fenris' expressions when they just learned that this person was the Crimson King.

His originally cold face changed dramatically, becoming extremely shocked.

No, so when she was stealing some food ingredients before, she was actually caught by the legendary King of Canhong himself?

No wonder I can't escape.

No, are the “kings” nowadays so idle?

Also, why is the Crimson King here?
If my memory serves me correctly, this Karin should have worked as a clerk for Taran for a period of time.

Then he worked as a publicist in a holiday villa for a while, and later he opened a detective agency in the holiday villa?

Although the concept of detective was only understood by Elsa after Karin explained it.

But it should be a job like an adventurer? After all, it is a serious job in a resort.

Karin felt like her reputation was somewhat ruined.

Although she was surprised that a territory inspector would do such a sneaky thing.

But obviously not as serious as her problem.

She even served as the inspector's food critic for a while last night.

As the Queen of Canhong, she can be said to have been completely unfocused on her duties during this period.

Although she had her reasons, such as suspecting that this was an illusion or the realm of an evil god or something.

But I feel like explaining it would be pale and powerless.

Just let the world be destroyed.

Bishop Kahn, as well as Taner and Fenris, whose clothes were soaked with cold sweat, were all puzzled by the stalemate.

Inspector Ellie, who was standing by, was shocked, but also a little puzzled as to why the air seemed to be stagnant.

In order to keep her secret, Elsa spoke first: "Shall we sit down and talk?"

Karin nodded slightly.

Afterwards, everyone took their seats in the meeting room of this den.

If so many powerful people were to form a secret organization, they could actually carry out some evil actions to subvert the country.

Moreover, the composition of these people is extremely complex.

The royal family of the White Kingdom, the heir to a family of assassins, the paladin, messenger, bishop, and saint of the Torch Church.

After sitting down, Elsa didn't know what to say.

I stammered for a while, not knowing what to say.

They couldn't just ask Karin to keep the secret, and it seemed that even if they joined forces they couldn't defeat the king, so they had no right to negotiate with him.

Karin breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, she was mentally prepared to be discovered and forced to leave.

But when she really encountered this situation, she found that she was still reluctant.

Now, there is a reason to negotiate.

However, she still felt a little ashamed to evade her responsibilities as the King of Canhong in this way.
