Chapter 142

Olena, who is the partner of Rand's training, also inserted the Swift Sword called Dawn back into the scabbard.

Ellie, who was standing beside her, nodded and applauded while making a very surprised dubbing.

Rand glared at Ellie before Ellie stopped.

However, this is indeed a very commendable thing, although the elite level seems insignificant among the many top leaders of the den.

But Rand also has various magical blessings. As the profession level increases, Rand's application of blessings will be more accurate, and the physical fitness improvement brought by the desire of the mother of the Black Goat will also be more improved. Application.

Therefore, although Rand is only an elite profession now, he can be regarded as an elite profession with physical fitness level, rather than a human elite profession.

If it is not counted as other abilities, Rand's level of fighting alone should be similar to that of Shasa's first encounter with Rand.

If you count the desire to share and God takes such abilities for it, then the superior profession also has the hope of fighting.

Of course, that's just hope. Rand hasn't really tried it, and the senior executives of the den will not give Rand the chance to face the enemy of the superior professional alone.

"There are visitors." Ellie spoke when Rand and Olena's competition ended.

Ellie came here to say this in person, which means that the level of visitors should be not low. Rand thought briefly and felt that with his social scope, there were not many possible candidates: "Is it the Black Brown Marquis or the Bucks Earl? ”

"It's Bishop Kahn," Ellie said.

"?" Rand had never heard of who was Bishop Kahn. If he was a bishop of the Mother Goddess, there should be only Thurs.

"It's the bishop of the Torch Church in the Royal City." Ellie obviously guessed that Rand might not know. After explaining, she was surprised for a while when she found out that it was Bishop Kahn who came to visit.

"Did you say anything?" Rand's joy of breaking through the elite level was diluted a lot. The bishop of the Torch Church came here, and Rand couldn't guess that there was anything good.

Rand felt that he had revised the doctrine of the Torch Church without authorization and preached without authorization under the name of the Torch Church. Now this bishop is likely to be here to raise an army to question the crime.

This made Rand feel guilty: "How many people did he bring here?"

"I didn't say anything, I only brought four followers." Ellie looked at Rand's face and turned pale, and couldn't help but smile.

Lander immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The worst case was that the bishop brought hundreds of church knights to attack the pagans. Now it seems that no matter what, at least there will be room for maneuver.

"Let's go." Rand took the towel from Olena and wiped the sweat off his body. "Let's change to formal clothes."

Rand rarely wears formal clothes, and when the White King came, he passed through it seriously once, and there was almost nothing else.

But the Bishop of the Torch Church is indeed another object to be treated with caution for the present day.

Rand put on his head crown for a long time, which was the golden crown inlaid with the gems of Ellie's investment. After changing into the lord's robe that suited his identity, he stood in the center of the lord's hall, waiting for Bishop Kahn's arrival.

Soon, Bishop Kahn arrived at the lord's hall.

He naturally heard of Rand, a viscount with a reputation in the Frost Moon Kingdom, but he had never been exposed to it.

It was not until Karin, the King of Canhong, sent him a letter to learn about Rand's governance of the territory and the economic principles here.

Bishop Kahn was very surprised when he heard this order, because the most he had heard of in the royal city of Frost Moon Kingdom was Rand's military command ability and Rand's record.

He had never heard of Rand's governance ability, nor had anyone cared about this matter. At first he thought it was Karin, the king of Canhong, who said it was wrong.

Until he arrived at the crescent moon collar from the royal city and then walked from the resort villa to the upper den, although many things were only seen in shallowness, the flat road surface, the popularity of the exchanges, and the rows of buildings proved that the Saint Maiden did not say it. wrong.

Rand's governance ability should not be underestimated, and may even be better than his military ability, but there are too few people who care about it.

Sighing Karin's keenness again, Kahn turned his gaze to Viscount Rand standing in front of the lord's seat.

Before entering the lord's hall, he of course noticed the giant snake bone above the lord's hall, but there were many possibilities for the origin of the snake bone. As an experienced old bishop, he was not too shocked.

The architectural style of the Lord's Hall is also a rare style, exuding practical and wilderness, and a little domineering.

Viscount Rand was younger than Kahn thought, but he seemed to have something applied to his face, and there was a smell of ointment, which might be a facial injury.

But even with ointment that doesn't know what effect it is, Rand standing there tall and proudly still stands out.

"Welcome to your visit." Rand nodded to the old bishop and then went straight to the point, "Is there anything wrong with this visit?"

As for why he applied ointment on his face, it was naturally because Ellie reminded him that he was actually a wanted criminal. If he was recognized, it would be a silly. When he saw Karin last time, Ellie reminded him in time. He put a mask on.

To be honest, since becoming the lord, Rand has not had any pressure to be wanted, so that he often does not realize that he is a wanted criminal.

This time I met Bishop Kahn, wearing a mask, was too offensive, so I pretended to be injured on my face and applied some ointment.

Bishop Kahn did not ask any questions about the ointment on Rand's face, but said, "The Torch Church intends to support you."

"How do you say this?" Rand was a little confused.

"The Torch Church intends to build a small church in your territory and then settle in a team of Torch Knights, some church personnel, and a bishop," said Bishop Kahn.

"Ah?" Even Rand, who had been a lord for two years and had already practiced Qigong fu well, had his expression management failed at this time.

What does this Bishop Kahn mean?

If Rand did not let his followers preach as people suspected of Torch Church preach everywhere, if Rand himself was not a cult messenger, then Kahn's proposal would make him ecstatic.

This means that the recognition and support of the Torch Church, even if the Torch Church is now split into three factions, the benefits of such a proposal are far greater than the negative impact it may have.

But Rand's territory is really...

Rand was silent for a while, carefully organized the language in his mind several times before he spoke carefully, "Bissar Kahn, please let me think about this matter for a while. In the mountains and fields, it may not be possible to provide much funding to the Torch Church. .”

Kahn thought Rand misunderstood his meaning and thought his proposal was for money.

During this period, the Torch Church was indeed short of money, and it was a little bit like a sign that it had become a wealth church. Many things had to be exchanged for money, but this time it was not. This time it was purely the Torch Church's investment in Rand.

Bishop Kahn was about to explain when he saw Viscount Rand, who was dressed in gorgeous lord costumes but his temperament did not match the luxurious clothes, continued to speak: "I won't mention this matter for now, we are about to hold a kitchen here." Art Competition, can you enjoy the glory?”

Although the cooking competition is something that Bishop Kahn had never heard of, his mission this time was to see and learn more. Since Rand invited him, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

And there is no hurry to build the Torch Church here, so the old but still energetic bishop smiled and nodded, expressing his willingness to go and see this cooking competition that Rand highly praised.

Chapter 212 The First Den Cooking Competition

Once again, walk along the stairs with handrails from the den to the resort.

There are now two roads from the den to the resort villa, and the third one is still under construction.

A staircase for people and upright livestock, a gentle cart ramp, and a third lift under construction.

The elevator has been almost completed. When the construction is completed, some goods can be transported by elevators, which will be much more efficient.

Bishop Kahn looked old, but he was in good spirits and in good health. At least he was not a problem after walking the ladder, so Rand did not make too much preparation.

After walking to the resort with Rand, Bishop Kahn looked around.

When he first arrived, he was very hasty and soon Rand met him, so many of them were not observed.

Now I can take a closer look.

Adventurers, merchants, villagers, and even see some noble children, and they don’t know if they are here to travel.

The Torch Church’s claim is justice, fire, elimination of demons, and maintaining human unity.

In short, it is to use flames to eliminate evil spirits.

In essence, it has little to do with people's livelihood, but there are not many noble groups among the members of the Torch Church. Most of them are trained by children with good character and talent selected from civilians or serfs.

Although the serfs and villagers themselves are not qualified to believe in the Torch Goddess.

But the Torch Church cannot be regarded as a group completely separated from the civilians. Although they will not provide services to civilians most of the time, most of the members of the Torch Church are civilians, and the Torch Church is not as strict with civilians as many nobles.

And the Torch Church obviously likes prosperity.

Bishop Kahn likes the atmosphere here very much, and it can be clearly felt that the relationship between people is pretty good, and the people are not the irritating and hungry color that Bishop Kahn has seen in villages in other regions before. and Godless.

Bishop Kahn was very hasty when he came, but he had not conducted an investigation in advance, so many things here are unclear, which made him feel novel.

There are so many adventurers. Bishop Kahn doesn't know how Rand controls these unruly professions, but just how he feels on the street, these adventurers are more qualities than they have seen elsewhere. It's much higher.

At least it doesn't look like stealing.

The current land of this villa named Rand is very crowded. Although the road is spacious, it is still crowded with people and shoulder to shoulder.

This made Bishop Kahn feel that he might be outdated. This cooking competition is actually a very famous event.

After Rand showed up with his people, even though the road was crowded, the crowd at the resort still made way.

Rand is very approachable in normal times, and adventurers will not hide when they see Rand in the resort. Moreover, due to Rand's regulations, they will not salute Rand to avoid causing trouble for Rand.

But this does not mean that they disrespect the Viscount Rand.

When Rand appeared on the road in aristocratic robe and golden crown, the originally noisy crowd quickly became quiet.

A road was separated between the crowds and let Rand pass first.

Rand was still very satisfied with this, and the feeling of being respected and recognized was that, but he didn't plan to bother the crowd for too long, and he took the senior executives of the den and Bishop Kahn to pass quickly.

Arrived at the location of the competition.

The audience seats at the culinary competition are already full, and food is not something that ordinary people can pursue in the past.

Adventurers will be better, but if outside Rand's territory, many adventurers' lives are actually between gangsters and mercenaries, and it is not uncommon for everyone to shout and beat them. Only those who are truly powerful, have a good chance of making a comeback. Only those who have the qualifications to pursue food.

For example, the steel squad.

Many adventurers didn't understand the name of the resort villa at first until they found out that there were large baths, taverns, medical stations, and restaurants.

It is important that they have the opportunity to enjoy such services without working hard.

Although risk taking is still a dangerous job, under Rand's strict indicators, the mortality rate is now very low.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a sacred place for adventurers.

After the most basic life has hope, food finally entered the field of vision of these people.

In addition, Rand himself likes to cook and taste delicious food.

With Rand's strong support, the first den cooking competition held in the resort villa was found.

First of all, the seed players, the steel team and an outside chef gang do not have to participate in the preliminary selection.

Then there are ordinary contestants, ordinary contestants have everything, adventurers, livestock, coachmen, and believers in dens.

When Bishop Kahn saw a monster appear, he was still nervous for a moment. After seeing that everyone around him was accustomed to him, he slowly relaxed.

At this time, the senior executives of several dens following Rand also released their hands from their weapons.

As the organizer and investor, Rand originally wanted to go up and say a few words, but due to the habits he continued in his previous life, what Rand hates most is the speech session of his leader, and it would be the same if he was the leader.

Anyway, the leader’s speech was skipped like this, and the cooking competition is about to begin.

Rand's viewing location is naturally the best, and there are parasols.

Although it is winter now, the noon sun is still a little hot.

Rand handed Bishop Kahn a small fan, and then signaled that he could use snacks or drinks if he needed them.

"This is made of juice. If you don't drink, you can choose to taste it." Rand introduced his proud work.

Bishop Kahn followed the advice and took a glass of juice. He had seen this kind of mixed juice in the royal city, but he didn't expect it to be there.

After tasting a bite of ice-cooked juice, Bishop Kahn nodded with satisfaction, which was much better than what the royal city drank, but now he had a doubt: "Vissue Rand, don't you have to be a judge?"

Although the viewing platform where Bishop Kahn and Rand are now has a good view, they obviously cannot taste the contestants' works as judges.

"Of course not." Rand gave the reason, "The judges of the cooking competition are high-risk professions."

"Why do you say this?"

Rand pointed at the audience.

This competition is a cooking competition, not a professional chef cooking competition, and there are not so many serious chefs in the den.

The theme of this cooking competition is meat. Rand is very versatile to meat full of fishy and scented smells. Although it became better with the emergence of dried meat and cured meat, there is still nothing except hot pot. Suitable way to cook fresh meat.

Rand hopes that this cooking competition will have some good practices.

Unfortunately, the only iron pot in this era is in the hands of Rand, and the kitchen utensils of the contestants are naturally more primitive.

For example, a certain tauren lady, her pot was broken due to improper use, and a strange light green liquid flowed out of the broken pot.

These should be ingredients that are only available in the dark areas. It seems that Ms. Taurus prepared the ingredients for this competition while exploring the dark areas.

Originally, the kitchen utensils were damaged and they were about to be eliminated, but Ms. Taurus insisted that this was the normal production process of her dishes, and her dishes were already made.

After the Tauren Lady's dishes were presented to the judges' plate, the judges fell silent as the light green sticky meat pieces. They neither knew what meat this was nor did they know that the light green sticky liquid was. What.

Bishop Kahn now understands Rand's wiseness, and now he believes that the judges of the cooking competition are at a high risk: "Is that thing really okay to eat?"
