Chương 42: Kalil the Great Savior and the Question of Faith

After Serafie and Elizabeth turned their attention to Roland, Roland became the focus of the entire room.

Her face turned green.

How is she supposed to choose?

By siding with Seraphim, Elizabeth was completely offended.

She even has the "steel brand" on her body; this little devil princess will probably treat her like a Japanese person and torment her.

So, you'll be trying to please Saintess Seraphim while carrying out your master's orders, right?

Leaning towards Elizabeth is an even more abstract choice.

In this world, apostasy is an extremely serious matter.

Even if Roland can gain the protection and favor of the Iron Church, it also means that she is forever bound to the Iron Church and Elizabeth.

Without Elizabeth's protection, no power would welcome her.

They might even capture her and take her to the Church of Light to collect a hefty reward.

The atmosphere grew increasingly tense, and sweat beaded on Roland's forehead.

……

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

After Head Maid Lywind opened the door, Caryl, who had come to the rescue, entered after receiving a message.

Today she changed into an elegant mage's long dress, with a gold-trimmed badge hanging on her chest.

The badge is crescent-shaped, with gold and purple as its main colors. A circular magic circle, resembling a holographic projection, is surrounded by the crescent, giving it a mysterious appearance.

"Greetings, Your Highness Seraf, Your Highness Elizabeth."

Kalil gave a graceful bow.

Elizabeth and Serafie hadn't paid much attention at first, but when they saw the badge on Caryl's chest, they both frowned.

Elizabeth looked at Caryl and said.

"Greetings, Lady Caryl. I never imagined you were a member of the 'School of Night Scholars.' You really fooled me."

The "Scholars of the Night" are remnants of the Church of the Night and partners of the Fifth Prince and Nightingale.

Now, Khalil has brought this identity into the open.

Upon hearing this, Kalil smiled and said...

"If it weren't for the Night Scholars, how could my employees have created something as magical as the 'Krusty Krab Recipe'? By the way, do you mind if I sit here?"

"Please go ahead."

Caryl casually sat down on the sofa opposite Roland and then waved to the sheep.

"Baa baa, what are you standing there for? Come over here."

"Huh? Me?"

Sheep paused for a moment, looked at Roland with some reluctance, and finally walked to stand behind Kalil.

Serafie caught the information revealed in the conversation and asked Kalil about it.

"Lady Kariel, are you implying that the 'Krusty Krab Recipe' is a product of the Night Scholars?"

Elizabeth narrowed her eyes. She remembered that Roland had said that sheep were the creators, right?

Even Roland and the sheep were completely bewildered.

Seeing the confusion on everyone's face, Kalil gave Roland a reassuring look and answered.

"The Krusty Krab recipe was created by my employees, Ms. Sheep and Ms. Roland."

"However, the Night Scholars provided some small assistance in this process, and I think you all understand what that means."

"Therefore, this secret recipe is naturally not going to be handed over to you."

"However, joint development would be a good option. What do you two think?"

Elizabeth and Serafie looked a little grim, but each had their own constraints, so they had no choice but to agree.

Seeing that both parties agreed, Khalil produced a stack of reports.

"Then let's discuss how to invest in and develop the Krusty Krab."

……

After intense discussions, the three parties finally reached an agreement.

Roland intends to establish branches in the Church of Light and the Church of Steel, and supply them with goods.

Pink Harbor, as the representative of the "Scholars of the Night", retained the naming rights to "Laurent Krusty Krab".

As for Roland herself, she continued to serve as the CEO of Roland Krusty Krab and received a certain amount of financial investment.

After reaching an agreement and signing a contract, the three parties left, leaving Roland alone in the office.

……

Twenty minutes later, there was a rustling sound in the grass outside the French windows. A black cat and an orange cat jumped in and climbed up next to Roland.

Roland asked tentatively.

"Is that Khalil?"

The black cat nodded, meowed, and transformed into a beautiful red-haired woman.

The orange cat next to it also meowed, but nothing happened.

The orange cat looked bewildered, then began to examine its limbs, pacing anxiously in circles.

Roland looked at the orange cat spinning around and felt a little embarrassed.

"Um, Kalil, could this orange cat be a sheep?"

"You got it right."

Kalil confirmed it, but had no intention of turning the sheep back.

This is a good opportunity to punish this foolish succubus who dared to cheat.

However, seeing how pitiful the sheep was, Roland picked it up and placed it on her lap to stroke its fur.

Caryl sat down on the sofa and looked at Roland.

"You, how could you cause so much trouble? If it weren't for the sheep's message, I wonder how you would have gotten out of this mess."

Roland said indignantly.

"I didn't cause any trouble; those two guys came to us on their own."

"After our last conversation, I guessed that the various churches were vying for faith, but I never expected them to actually come knocking on our door."

Caryl listened to Roland's words and seemed to be deep in thought.

"They must have developed a technology to apply the power of faith; no wonder both churches have been so active lately."

"However, this technology must be related to the Night Scholars Association, otherwise the Elizabethan sisters wouldn't have even given me the naming rights."

Roland asked, puzzled.

"Do I even need to guess? Aren't you a member of the Night Scholars Association?"

Caryl got angry as soon as she heard that and glared at Roland.

"I haven't joined them yet. We were just cooperating before. Those dark elves and their goddess are really unreliable. Joining them would definitely lead to nothing good."

"Now that's settled, to protect you, I've activated this badge, which is equivalent to you joining the group!"

Roland chuckled.

"Um... sorry, I owe you another big favor."

Kalil waved her hand.

"You owe me a lot already, but this time I've gained something too."

"I suspect that the Night Scholars are using the power of faith to resurrect the Goddess of Night."

"When the Night Scholars come looking for me, I'll have to find out what's going on. If I can resurrect the Goddess of Life, that would be wonderful."

As she spoke, Kalil stared at Roland with shining eyes.

"If we can truly resurrect the goddess, then everything depends on you, little Loran!"

Roland was dumbfounded and pointed to herself.

"Huh? Me?"

She even obtains her magic power through the system, yet she's being asked to be in charge of researching the Goddess of Resurrection?

Caryl knew from Roland's expression that she had misunderstood.

"It's not about asking you to resurrect, but rather that you can now gather a large amount of faith!"

"Although I don't yet understand how to utilize faith, something that everyone is scrambling for must be something good."

"Go, little Roland! Perhaps the glory of the Church of Life will be restored in our hands!"

Roland immediately thought it was unreliable, and besides, she herself needed to use the power of faith, but it was inconvenient for her to tell Kalil.

Kalil noticed Roland's negative mood and took Roland's hand affectionately.

"Please help your sister, she's helped you so much."

The girlish voice gave Roland goosebumps, so she could only nod slightly.

Kalil was finally satisfied.

"Don't worry, you will definitely not regret helping to revive the goddess."

"Let me tell you, the Goddess of Life has a super sexy figure and an open personality."

Roland: "???"
