Chapter 439: Another One

Yulia remembered that there was a shop nearby that sold very good pies.

Especially when it's freshly baked, the skin is still crispy. As soon as you take a bite, the fragrant hot oil will flow from the meat filling to the crack. It's really delicious to the extreme.

Every time I eat this, it's easy to burn the skin in my mouth.

That's the price you pay for great food.

In this sense, foodies have the soul of a warrior.

Just like if you want to become a temple knight from the traineeship, you must have the determination to defeat the devil.

To do this, one needs to go through arduous trials.

Among a series of test questions, the most difficult is mathematics.

She didn't understand why a temple knight had to study complex and difficult numbers like the guys in the academy, but since it was a subject required by the church, she had to work hard.

In her eyes, mathematics is much more difficult to deal with than pure-blooded demons and ancient vampires.

Function curves, like obscure runes from hell, destroy the soul.

Some people say that the reason why there is such a subject as mathematics is to select a group of trainee temple knights with higher IQs.

But Yulia still feels that this is mainly to cultivate their sense of resilience.

If you can patiently study even complex mathematical problems, it should be more or less an indication that this person is more able to endure hardships.

Is that pie shop still there?

She looked around, turned from a familiar corner, and walked into the depths.

There are many snack bars in this narrow alley. Some of them are izakayas that are very exotic to Cole City.

You can smell the mixed smell of various foods from a long distance away.

Oh, found it...

This store is still as shabby as ever.

The inside is so narrow that only two square tables can be placed. Looks like I have to sit with other people.

Yulia didn't like to sit and dine with strangers.

This will make her feel like she can't let go.

I can't help but care about whether my appearance is elegant and whether I feel like a lady.

This is especially true when he is still wearing the half-plate armor, short skirt, steel boots and gloves of the Temple Knights like he is today.

This uniform will attract a lot of attention.

There is a kind of pressure when wearing it, which will invisibly put many shackles on one's behavior.

I can't even relax my walking posture. Pay special attention to whether you are decent and dignified enough to avoid bringing discredit on the church. The whole person is in a tense state.

…

Church...

…Recently, it’s really been a mess.

The news that the witch master has reappeared and delivered the oracle has spread throughout the city.

Now it seems that people even far away know about it.

There was a lot of chaos within the church. Already in complete chaos.

There are indeed many people who firmly support the Dharma King, believe in the arrival of the Divine Witch, and are happy about it. They feel that she reappeared in order to force the nightmare away again...

...But there are also many people who are skeptical about this and think it is too suspicious.

Not only because no one except the Dharma King heard the oracle from the witch, but also because the oracle given by the witch was too weird.

Suddenly, an innocent girl who no one has heard of is wanted, and they haven't been told why.

Many people feel that as a messenger from heaven, Lord Divine Witch has a vision that cannot be matched by mortals.

There must be a special reason for not clarifying the reason why Makiko Kodera is wanted.

It may even be just that when the Dharma King listened to the oracle of the shaman, he was unable to hear the entire content and only heard half of the key information.

All in all, in the past few days, the church has basically reached a consensus - that is, it can be determined that the nightmare invasion is related to this woman.

So find her and kill her, and peace should be restored to Jiuyuan Township.

But this brings new problems.

That is, why can’t Lord Divine Witch appear directly in Jiuyuan Township?

The last time she saved the world, she came in person.

This is not without reasonable explanation. That is, for some reason, the witch can no longer interfere with the world in person. She can only guide the people in Jiuyuan Township to help them overcome their difficulties.

The number of skeptics is currently at a disadvantage. And that’s even after including those who are dubious.

The more Yulia thought about it, the more uneasy she became.

She feels that the questioning faction will become fewer and fewer, and eventually they will become afraid to speak out.

Because that is tantamount to questioning the Dharma King’s words.

The King of France is a good person and has never suppressed the opposition too much. At present, there is no intention to require the church to unify its voice and eliminate doubters.

But I don’t know what will happen next.

While she was lost in thought, the boss's generous laughter sounded in Yulia's ears.

"Oh! Isn't this Miss Yulia! It's been so long! I saw you before when I was buying goods? You were busy talking to the bishop, so I didn't bother you! But I waved to you! Are you impressed?"

"Haah...Sorry, I didn't see it."

"Haha, that's right! I don't think your eyes are looking here! Anyway, what do you want to order? Do you want to try the new product that was just launched?"

"What is it?"

"Oyster and beef pie - it allows you to enjoy the taste of the grassland and the sea at the same time! The two juices are quite delicious when mixed together? It will definitely burn your throat and make you want to continue eating!"

"I won't burn it like that! At most, it will peel off the skin on my upper teeth..." Yulia complained, reaching for her purse and picking out a few copper coins: "Give me a piece of that new product to try. Bar!"

"Okay! I still use chopsticks for tableware, right?"

"Uh-huh!"

The boss quickly served her a pie.

Yulia looked at the sizzling and oily pie crust, licked her lips, and immediately picked it up with chopsticks and took a bite.

At that moment, she felt a sharp pain in her teeth.

She covered her mouth, looked at the oyster shells looming in the filling, and immediately complained.

"Hey, boss! You almost knocked my teeth out! Look what's in here!"

"Haha, Yulia, this means you are very lucky! This kind of pie only occasionally appears with a shell! It is a lucky pie. After you eat it, you can get another one for free!"

"Really?! That's great!"

"Of course it's true! Give me the plate!"

Yulia never thought about whether the boss was making excuses.

Mixing in the shell might just be a simple mistake. To say that this is a lottery win is probably just to fool the customers to avoid being asked for compensation.

All in all, Yulia didn't think much about it at all.

She happily took the plate over and came back with another piece of the same pie.

Buy one get one free, what a deal.

It's not that eating the pie at half price itself makes her happy, it's mainly that the feeling of getting delicious food by luck is really great.

Like pie in the sky.
