Chương 38: The Rogue Boss Elizabeth and the New Cow Seraphim

While Roland was still enjoying her leisurely life, Head Maid Lywind returned to Port Hessen with an investigation report and milk.

Hysen Harbor, top floor of Wayne Company building.

Head Maid Lywind recounted her observations and experiences on Newbeams Street to Princess Elizabeth behind her desk.

Elizabeth maintained her characteristic arrogant posture.

She leaned back on the soft sofa, her delicate white silk-clad feet resting on the desk, a warm cup of milk tea in her right hand.

One of the ingredients for the milk tea is milk that Head Maid Lywind just traded from Roland.

On her left hand were Lywind's notes.

She read through the book while listening to Lywind's report.

"In conclusion, I personally believe that the Krusty Krab is a business initiative that is well worth studying."

"This has brought a huge influx of people to the New Sprouts Street Church and has created an extremely good reputation."

"Although the economic benefits are still unclear, it is very beneficial for the church to collect faith. For this reason, I think Miss Roland may know the secret of the power of faith."

Elizabeth waved her hand.

"There's no need to worry about that. The application of the power of faith has only just been developed, and Roland couldn't possibly know about it."

"Besides, even if she knew, she was just a low-level superhuman, not even at the Saint level, so how could she possibly use the power of faith?"

"However, the issue of economic benefits you mentioned is indeed a bit strange."

Elizabeth's gaze shifted to the table, where a tray held a Krusty Krab's "Workers' Meal".

She thought for a moment, then reached out and picked up the crab burger.

Lywind tried to stop her, but Elizabeth, relying on her immunity to poison, bit down directly.

She frowned as she tasted it carefully, then nodded.

"Not bad, although the ingredients taste terrible, the combination is surprisingly delicious... Lywind, what were you trying to say?"

Lywind hesitated for a moment, but ultimately told the truth.

"Your Highness, according to our investigation, Pink Harbor recently acquired a large number of seaweed crabs. The Krabby Patty in your hand is very likely made from seaweed crab meat."

Elizabeth: "..."

Her face turned pale, then blue, and she turned her head and spat the crumbs in her mouth into the trash can.

Elizabeth: "Yue~~~~"

"That little bitch Roland actually used seaweed crab to make meat patties, no wonder they were so cheap! Is her heart made of black oil?!"

Elizabeth paused for a moment, then couldn't help but gag again.

"Ugh... This is so disgusting! This thing eats corpses. I remember seaweed crabs have magical pollution, right?"

Lywind replied.

"From what I've observed, Krusty Krab uses some unknown method to remove the magical contamination from the seaweed crab meat."

"Remove magical contamination?"

Elizabeth immediately thought of the Stabilizing Potion, which she had already promoted throughout the empire.

Does seaweed crab meat become delicious after the magical pollution is removed?

Her eyes lit up, she rang the bell, and called for her maid.

"Have a few people use stabilizing potions to remove the magical contamination from the seaweed crabs, then make me a meatloaf."

……

Thirty minutes later, a plate of gray, round meat patties was served, garnished with broccoli and sauce on a white plate.

Despite the chefs' best efforts, the final product was still disappointing, with a faint fishy smell lingering in the air.

Elizabeth didn't dare to bite it, but she mustered up her courage and leaned in to smell it.

"yue..."

"Take this thing away and throw it in the trash to dispose of it!"

Elizabeth's face turned pale, and she waved her hand in disgust, as if she were looking at dog poop.

Lywind scrutinized the crab burger Elizabeth hadn't finished, frowning.

"The cooking method should be similar. Miss Roland must have a special Krabby Patty recipe to make the patty delicious while removing the magical pollution from the seaweed crab."

"And this secret recipe shouldn't be limited to meat patties. I've seen this vegetable in adventure magazines; it seems to be a saprophytic fern commonly found in sewers..."

Elizabeth remembered that she had just eaten this stuff and quickly told them to stop.

"Stop, stop, stop, Lywind, don't say anymore. I already know this thing is disgusting."

"Anyway, I'm definitely going to get that Krabby Patty recipe. It's got great potential and will definitely help the goddess gather a lot of faith."

As she spoke, Elizabeth couldn't help but hum softly.

"Hehehe, Miss Roland is really great. She always manages to surprise me. I must pamper her."

"We need to find a way to get her into the Iron God Cult. I can't let such a beautiful and capable person slip away."

Lywin interrupted at the opportune moment.

"I have another matter to report on in this regard."

"I've discovered that the Church of Light is also investigating Miss Roland. We should 'protect' Miss Roland as soon as possible."

Elizabeth gave a disdainful look and waved her hand dismissively.

"The Church of Light, huh? Those incompetent and pedantic fools think they can steal people from my territory?"

"I'll give them a month, and they still won't be able to beat me."

……

Royal Capital, Land Travel District.

This is the most densely populated area of land transportation in the royal capital, with crisscrossing railway tracks and magical trains shuttling through it, creating a wonderful magical punk scene, which can be called a super train station in the magical world.

In the Temple of Light at the center of the Land Walk, a woman Elizabeth least wanted to see leaned against a stately white sofa, listening to her subordinates' reports.

The woman wore a white-based, black-based nun's outfit, the form-fitting design of which bore a striking resemblance to Roland's shaved nun's habit.

However, it doesn't emphasize curves as much, and in terms of allure, it doesn't quite match Roland's.

But those towering breasts are, to this day, the only ones that can rival Roland head-on.

With her long, golden, wavy hair and tall, mature figure, she looks just like Roland's older sister.

She was Elizabeth's older sister, Serafie Irina, who followed her mother's lead, moved to a neighboring country, and became a saint of the Church of Light.

Now, she has returned to the Empire and, as an ambassador and dispatched saintess, has become the head of the Imperial Capital branch of the Church of Light, and is responsible for supervising the "Saintess Election Project" within the capital.

Today, she received some very interesting news.

A candidate saintess, assigned to the slums of the old port district, first came up with the ideas of "stabilizing potions" and "alchemy of food ingredients," which were widely adopted by the Iron Church, thus resolving the future problems of the Zaun Magic Furnace.

Then he established the Krusty Krab, which won over almost the entire Old Port area with its cheap food and ruthlessly exploited the faith of its people.

According to the intelligence department of the Church of Light, this candidate saintess named Roland Kane has developed a method to transform seaweed crabs into delicious food, which is very likely related to stabilizing potions.

Serafid flipped through the report, marveling at it.

"Stable potions, new potion ideas, cheap fast food, the Krabby Patty recipe... Interesting."

"Even if a top contender in the Saintess election invents just one of these things, it would be a remarkable achievement."

"An ordinary candidate who was assigned to the slums of the old port district actually managed to produce four things in such a short period of time."

As the current Holy Maiden of the Church of Light, and the strongest Holy Maiden at that, she naturally knew the inside story of the Holy Maiden candidates.

Pony characters like Roland Kane, relegated to the margins, are simply there to make up the numbers and help collect faith from remote areas.

If we can achieve some results, it would be a nice little surprise.

But this Sister Roland already seems poised to stir up trouble in the capital.

It's a real pity that we didn't arrive in the capital sooner, missing the chance to control Roland and letting the Steel Church steal our spoils right under our noses.

If her information is correct, the spokesperson for the Imperial Steel Church in the Royal Capital is her own flat-chested, loli-like younger sister, right?

Thinking of her younger sister, whom she had suppressed since childhood, she couldn't help but hum softly.

"Heh heh heh, little Elizabeth, daring to snatch something from your older sister..."

"Someone, have the intelligence department gather as much information as possible about Roland Kane, and then arrange my trip to the Old Port."
