The shocking scene in the King's Treasure House, even after a long time had passed, was still stimulating the Saint's nerves.
On the other side, the manager of the King's Treasure Vault also felt helpless.
"This time, it's my mistake. But Holy One, you've also seen it. All day long, they carry out obscenities, at least they won't … won't run out to threaten Holy Light Religion."
The Saint was still angry. "Are you sure they can't get out? Don't forget, there's still a ghost lingering in the treasury! "
"Don't worry. Even if he was once invincible, he's just a remnant soul now. I am the manager of the treasury! "
"… Since we can get rid of this factor, we should hurry up and get rid of the remnants of Dragon City."
"Now?" The administrator was slightly surprised. "But the strength of the Dragon City parish isn't enough, right?"
"So let Faceless go." Saint coldly made his decision.
"Faceless One?! Are you thinking of … "
"As servants of the Holy Light, we have the obligation to eliminate all obstacles and threats at all costs. Moreover, Bedivere has lived for so long, that's enough. Sparing him and his Dragon City in the purification battle is already a great blessing. "
"Yes … By the way, there are rumors that the eastern city-states have officially formed an alliance with the eastern heretics."
"Alliance? It was just the wishful thinking of a few people. Using a few nails and killing a few people, the alliance would collapse on its own. Allying with foreigners won't end well. "
"Yes."
The conversation between the two continued. Under the Holy Light, darkness was eternal.

Under the unremitting efforts of the Archbishop of Dragon City Parish, Rowan, the matter of Bedivere's raid on the Inquisitor gradually faded away. The relationship between the church and Dragon City had become gentle, as if they had returned to the silent tacit understanding of the past few years.
No one was to interfere with the other, and no one was to disturb the other. According to the previous agreement, everyone was to perform their own duties and do their own thing.
During this period, Archbishop Rowan took great credit. He was the first to control the situation, so that the leaderless inquisition would not intensify the contradictions. He was also the one who appeased Marina and stabilized the faith of the Holy Maiden. He even secretly met with Bedivere that very night to stabilize Dragon City's action.
The series of methods displayed the old man's shrewd and ruthless methods. At the same time, it also forced a certain someone, who had single-handedly stirred up a series of conflicts, to change his plan and make new plans.
However, no one expected that a new storm would descend on Dragon City faster than anyone could have predicted.
"The new chief judge?"
In the Dragon City Cathedral, Marina was surprised by this rumor.
Archbishop Rowan nodded, "I just received instructions from the Holy City yesterday. Because Count Donald is seriously injured and cannot manage the affairs, the new Chief Inquisitor will probably take office in two or three days."
As he spoke, the archbishop looked deeply worried.
Marina asked, "Who is the new chief referee?"
"Rumor has it that he is … Faceless One."
"Faceless One!?" Marina suddenly stood up, "It turned out to be that madman! What were the people of the Sacred City thinking? The situation here has just stabilized, and they actually sent that executioner, that homicidal maniac?! "
The Archbishop gave Marina a long look.
Obviously, this naive Saintess didn't realize that the Holy City sent Faceless One to intensify the conflict. Her previous series of means to stabilize the situation might have also offended the Holy City.
"Your Excellency Archbishop, I really don't understand. Faceless One has just committed a heinous crime in the West a few years ago, why didn't the church punish him? Shouldn't such a person be expelled? "
"Try to adapt." The Archbishop was also helpless, "Faceless One is admittedly radical, but when it comes to the Holy Light belief, he is not inferior to you and me, and even above you and me. He is the church's most powerful person, second only to the great legend. Moreover, his ability to do things is very strong, and he is the church's sharpest knife. For him, even if you don't understand, you have to be patient. "
"But …"
Before her voice fell, suddenly, a joyful voice came from behind them, "Oh, well said. Unexpectedly, in this heresy ravaged land, we actually met a confidant. It seems like we can still cooperate."
"Who is it?"
Marina and Rowan turned around at the same time and saw a tall and thin man, dressed in a pure white robe, standing upright in the middle of the room. At first glance, he looked solemn and serene, like a template of a holy clergyman. However, his face seemed to have been forcibly erased by some force. There were no facial features, only pure white.
"Faceless One?" Rowan was horrified and subconsciously took two steps back. "You … when did you do that?"
Faceless One's figure flashed and appeared behind Rowan. He stretched out his white gloved hand and put it on Rowan's shoulder, and then made a seemingly intimate gesture. "When I was in the Holy City, I heard people talking about you. They said that you're the biggest good-for-nothing among the more than thirty Holy Light Religion diocesan Bishops, and that you've lived your life like a dog. Now it seems that although you're good-for-nothing, you're also tactful. "
Rowan's face turned red, and his withered hands clenched tightly, but he resisted the urge to speak.
However, Marina, who has always regarded Rowan as a father, could not help but speak.
"Sir Faceless One, you're too rude!"
"Courtesy?" Faceless One said, "The will of the Holy Light is the greatest courtesy, and I am here on the will of the Holy Light."
With that, Faceless One turned his head. His pale and flat face seemed to shoot out a frightening gaze.
"Oh, you're the Holy Woman of this diocese, Marina? I've heard about you in the Holy City. People say that you're a filthy whore. Now that I've met you, I find that they're right. "
"Filthy …" Marina couldn't believe her ears.
"Not convinced? When you gave birth to that heresy Bedivere's bastard, every corner of your body, from the inside to the outside, has been rotten. What's even more ridiculous is that I heard that not only you didn't kill that little bastard, you actually raised her until today? "
With that, Faceless One suddenly clapped his hands. "That's right, since you mentioned it … where is that little bastard? This time, I'll just clean her up. "
"You're courting death!" Marina's anger could no longer be contained. If the other party was targeting her or even Rowan, she could force herself to shut up. However, her daughter, Irene, was undoubtedly her reverse scale.
Although the Holy Woman was not good at fighting, she was, after all, a high order profession. The violent holy light turned into a raging flame and recklessly broke out. In a twinkling of an eye, it was like a scorching sun, wanting to plunge herself and the entire Dragon City into a sea of fire.
"Humph." In this regard, Faceless One just stretched out his hand. The flame was suddenly bound by an invisible force and then pressed back into Marina's body, unable to leak even the slightest bit.
Marina's tender body trembled. Her internal organs were burned by this powerful shock, and she vomited blood on the spot.
"Ah, you actually dare to attack the messenger of the Holy Light. Sure enough, you're a hundred percent heresy whore. " Wumianzhe easily suppressed Marina's outburst. "It seems like it's really necessary to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots. Hmm, let me see where that little bastard is …"
Marina tremblingly shouted, "If you have any means, come at me, don't hurt the child!"
Rowan also advised, "Sir Faceless One, Marina was just impulsive, please don't be magnanimous. She is a firm believer. Initially, because she was young and inexperienced, she was seduced by the Dragon City Master and accidentally made a mistake. Now, she wholeheartedly yearns for the Holy Light, and has long had nothing to do with heresy! "
"But, when people make a mistake, they have to pay the price." Faceless One raised his hand with interest and turned his pale face to Rowan, seemingly waiting for him to continue.
Rowan looked at the seriously injured and weary Marina, gritting his teeth and said, "Moreover, Marina is, after all, the parish's Holy Woman. Her prestige here is very high. If you kill her at will, it would be very detrimental to the local preaching!"
Faceless One said, "Are you threatening me?"
"Absolutely not! I'm just … stating the facts. "
"Mm." Upon hearing this, Faceless One nodded. "What you said is very reasonable. It's indeed not good to casually kill a prestigious Holy Woman. Moreover, the real enemy of Holy Light Religion is Bretton Dragon Clan, so I don't need to waste my energy on a small fry. "
With that, Faceless One retracted his right hand that was suppressing Marina. Marina felt that her whole body was relaxed. The pressure has been lifted, but she couldn't use even the slightest bit of strength, which was very uncomfortable.
In Rowan's heart, a boulder fell to the ground. It seemed like this Faceless One just wanted to give them a show of strength. As the new Chief Inquisitor, he quickly established absolute prestige in this place. Sure enough, he was worthy to be the church's sharpest knife. His style of conduct … was too radical. Fortunately, the most difficult hurdle should be over.
However, just as Rowan relaxed, he suddenly heard Faceless One say something.
"The death penalty can be avoided, but the punishment cannot be avoided."
With that, his right hand's five fingers clenched and then released. With a tearing sound, Marina's holy robe was unexpectedly split into two by an invisible force, revealing the soft and plump naked body under the holy robe.
"You!" Marina was ashamed and angry, but she was powerless to struggle. She reluctantly reached out to cover her private place, which made her posture extremely embarrassing.
"You said that you have nothing to do with Bedivere, but if I do it with you here, would Bedivere have no reaction? I doubt it. "
Rowan angrily said, "Sir Faceless One, what are you doing!"
"Can't you see it? I'm going to rape this woman, and then lure Bedivere out and let him walk into the trap. I heard that because two of his recruits were arrested, he dared to raid the inquisitor's office. Since his woman is being raped, there's no reason for him not to help. Then, I'll wait for him to come. "
With that, his figure flashed and appeared in front of Marina. His tall and slender body pressed down, shrouding Marina like a dark cloud.
"Stay away from me, you devil!"
"Devil? Wrong, I'm the Chief Inquisitor of this parish, the embodiment of the will of Holy Light. " Faceless One still had that cold tone. While saying that, he undeniably reached out to pry open Marina's closed legs, and a shadow slowly came out from his white robe.
Archbishop Rowan finally could not hold back. "Such brutality is definitely not the will of Holy Light!"
His platinum scepter was pointed forward, and an irresistible dividing force bloomed between Faceless One and Marina. In the legend of Holy Light Religion, this was the supreme divine technique that the prophet once used to divide the sea. Now, Rowan used a simplified version of it, but its power still could not be underestimated. If it hit a person, it could even directly tear an intermediate high order profession.
However, in response to this, Faceless One just stretched out his left hand and made a grasping motion in the air, and Rowan's scepter was smashed to pieces. His chest seemed to have been smashed by a giant hammer, caved in, and spurted out blood.
"Mm, Holy Light really didn't let me do that." Faceless One nodded. "But, it didn't say anything against it."
With that, his figure moved forward, and the shadow was about to run through Marina.
The woman was humiliated and turned her head away, powerless to resist what was happening in front of her.
However, at this time.
Knock, knock, knock.
A sudden knock on the door disrupted everyone's rhythm.
"Hello, I'm the water station's water delivery, is anyone there?"
