"Damn it!" This was Anida's first reaction when she heard that the Paladins had gone to the orphanage. By the time she got the news, twenty minutes had passed since the Paladins had gone to the orphanage.
She didn't believe that this was a coincidence, especially when the whole city was under martial law.
The president of the Aesthetic Society had to immediately take a carriage from the headquarters to the orphanage.
"Hurry up!" The carriage's bearings kept making rumbling noises. Anneda anxiously urged the coachman to hurry up. However, the orphanage outside the city was some distance away from the Divine Temple University in Marlin Castle. Moreover, there was a constant stream of carriages and carriages in Marlin Castle. Anneda knew that it would take more time.
She began to think.
Obviously, if it were someone else, the guards could use all sorts of reasons to stop them until they arrived. However, the guards and staff of the orphanage had no reason to stop the paladins from coming. That was because the paladins' intentions were impeccable. They had also obtained the consent of the Marlin Castle's Senate. In this period of martial law, and everyone was suspecting each other of being from the Cult of Chaos, the staff of the orphanage could not and did not dare to stop the paladins from coming. That was because it would undoubtedly arouse the suspicion of the rulers. No matter how much the nobles and merchants of Marlin Castle disliked the paladins, they could not deny the existence of the paladins.
So, was this a deliberate test, or a strange accident?
Or did the Church of Justice already have evidence?
Anida felt like she was sitting on a stove.
Few people knew that the president of the Aesthetic Society, Anida, was over a hundred years old.
Anida used her beautiful appearance to hide her depraved and despicable nature. She had undergone countless surgeries to improve her appearance and figure, and finally became an even more attractive beauty. In nearly a hundred years, through the replacement of new organs, skin, and the blessing of dark rituals, countless poor souls made her look beyond the years and astonishingly beautiful. Her evil followers kidnapped innocent people from the streets to conduct evil experiments. They peeled the skin off the bodies that were still alive, cut off the organs that were still beating, and did even more disgusting and perverted acts.
The orphanage was her largest repository of living objects and her evil laboratory.
She wanted so badly to continue being beautiful. Her beauty was the only thing she cared about. She felt that her brain was filled with tension and madness. She would never allow anything to touch her beauty!
The anxiety in her heart had made her a little confused. Before she could confirm what the Paladins had done, she could not make a judgment based on the current situation. She could only keep thinking about all kinds of results and find ways to deal with them.
Amidst endless torment and frustration, they arrived at the orphanage.
She rushed out of the carriage, her high-heeled shoes making a shrill sound on the ground. The guards of the orphanage saw her and quickly opened the gate.
Before the gate was even fully opened, Aneda had already rushed into the orphanage. She asked the guard cautiously, "Where are the Paladins?"
"The Saint Samurai have already left, President," the guard replied. His eyes flickered, and his expression was full of confusion.
"Gone???" Annette exclaimed in disbelief. "Really gone?"
"He's really gone."
The president of the Aesthetical Association found this result hard to believe. She thought to herself, what did these stupid guards understand? So she rushed into the orphanage at once.
The interior of the orphanage was very clean and tidy, even a little luxurious. Various sculptures and famous paintings were set up inside the orphanage, and exquisite carpets with various patterns covered the corridors and rooms. This was a sharp contrast to the simple clothes and thin faces of the orphans.
"Watzke? Watzke? "Annette called out the name of the orphanage's director, her confidant.
"Miss Annette!" Soon a man wearing a tall hat and a beautiful tuxedo came out. When he saw Annette, he quickly took off his hat and greeted her. "Good afternoon, President."
"Good morning, you son of a bitch!" Annette slapped Watzke in the face, and the man's face immediately swelled up. "Let me ask you, where are the Paladins? What do they know?! "
The round hat fell to the ground.
"They … they don't know anything. They just came here and brought some food and some clothes. Then, they visited the orphanage. We told them that we were very busy, so they graciously excused themselves and left." Watzke's face was swollen from the slap, but he didn't dare to resist.
"That's it?!"
"That's it."
Annette's expression was strange and ferocious. The muscles on her face seemed to be twisted into a ball, and her original beauty was distorted and strange. She motioned Watzke to walk with her to a corner and whispered in private, "Did they really not do anything else?"
"They really didn't. They just came to visit the test subjects, then brought food and told two lame jokes. The Paladins also put the test subject called Anna on their shoulders and asked her if she ate well and how she lived. The test subject's answers were flawless …" Watzke described the process of the Paladins' visit in detail. "I watched from the side the whole time. They visited for about twenty minutes, and when I felt that it was about time, I said that we still had something to do, and they sensibly left."
"What about Belt?"
"He stayed down there the whole time, and there was no movement!"
"That simple? Impossible, absolutely impossible! " Annette still didn't believe it. The president of the Aesthetical Society really couldn't accept the fact that the Paladins were just here to visit. The beautiful woman thought for a long time and finally decided. "I'm going down to take a look! You wait outside! "
"Understood." Watzke never dared to resist Annette's decision, or he would be the one to be killed.
So Annette opened the passage to the Chaos Altar downstairs.
When Watzke saw the figure of the president of the Aesthetical Society disappear behind the dark passage, he spat and cursed, "F * ck you, you f * cking b * tch. When I get the favor of my Lord, I'll kill you first!"
At this moment, a guard rushed in hurriedly. "Not good! Dean Watzke! His Excellency the Duke and the Archbishop of the Sea God rushed in with a large number of guards and Sea God Knights! "
"Bastard! Why didn't you stop him! " Watzke stood up in shock. He subconsciously looked at the open secret passage in the room and shouted in his heart, "Quick! Stop them! "
"Stop who?"
Before he finished speaking, a faint but dignified voice came from outside the door. The Grand Duke of Marlinburg walked into the dean's room with majestic steps. Laing and Veronica followed behind him with a smile.
"Who do you want to stop? Is there something in the orphanage that can't be seen? " As soon as Schultz came in, the Duke immediately saw the dark entrance to the dean's room. The Duke and the Archbishop were slightly surprised. "Looks like there really is."
"This is … the power of Chaos! I feel the aura of Chaos! " Aldrich's expression changed. The rows of bottles hanging on his body were buzzing. "It's the Chaos Altar! There's an Altar of Chaos in this tunnel! "
"Guards! Prepare for battle! " A tall soldier took the lead and shouted. His hair was gray, the corners of his eyes were full of vicissitudes, and there were many scars under his eyes and the left side of his face. He was one of the guardians of Marlinburg hired by Schultz, Robert Bayeux Camprea.
He was a former general of the Empire, an advanced legendary Scorching Sun Knight.
"Mannan above! Sea God Knights! Destroy evil! " Aldrich also shouted loudly. The dozen or so Sea God Knights who came with him instantly unsheathed their scimitars and rushed towards the guards and servants of the orphanage.
Under the attack of the guards and the Sea God Knights, the guards were killed on the spot regardless of whether they resisted or not. The servants could only stay alive if they gave up resistance. The entire orphanage fell into chaos. Curses, the sounds of swords, cries, and begging for mercy were endless.
It's over! Vatsk knew that it was over. He subconsciously pulled out his dagger and rushed towards the Grand Duke of Marlinburg, Schultz.
Kidnap the Duke and force them to leave! This was the only thought in Vatsk's mind.
However, he was not the only one who thought of this. The Duke himself also thought of this.
A golden longsword appeared in Schultz's hand. The Grand Duke only needed one strike.
The sword cut through space, and the golden arc almost tore the real world apart.
Vatsk's entire body was split in half in the air. The corrupted orphanage director died on the spot, and his corpse was evaporated into a lump of flesh by the powerful golden energy of the Duke's sword.
Laing was fine, but Veronica's expression did not change. However, she was secretly shocked. She really did not expect the Grand Duke of Marlinburg to be so powerful.
It was no wonder that he could sit in the position of ruler in such a chaotic place like Marlinburg. How could such an ambitious person be easy to deal with? Veronica had a deeper understanding in her heart. She had underestimated the heroes of the world.
As the Duke's guards and the Sea God Knights continued to suppress the situation, the situation changed. Many abandoned people rushed out of the orphanage. These distorted and mutated creatures crazily appeared from the shadows of the orphanage and attacked the guards and knights.
When she saw the figures of these abandoned people, even Veronica could not bear to see them.
These abandoned people were short, and some of them were still wearing tattered clothes. Some of their faces were still young.
They were all once orphans of this orphanage! They had been tortured by experiments and sacrifices to this point! Today, they had become monsters that only knew how to thirst for flesh and souls.
Many Sea God Knights saw the figures rushing towards them and felt their scalps tingle. They were ashamed and killed these pitiful creatures of Chaos. However, there were too many of these creatures of Chaos. They could not do much damage to the knights, but it made them feel very uncomfortable.
The Archbishop of the Sea God, Aldrich, made his move. The Archbishop could not tolerate such blasphemous acts of darkness, nor could he tolerate the appearance of such a huge cult of Chaos in his own territory, causing the deaths of so many orphans. He raised his ocean-blue mermaid scepter and began to chant a divine spell.
"Wrath of the Sea God!"
The seawater that gushed out from the air was filled with the wrath of the Sea God. A large group of dark creatures were swept into the tide and torn to pieces.
"Lord Schultz, please move out of the orphanage. Veronica and I will take care of things here." Leon raised his Gryphon Warhammer and said, "I have a lot to talk about with Bernt. I want to tell him about all the troubles I've encountered along the way. This is my battle."
"No problem. I'll go outside and watch the battle. I wish you victory!" Schultz nodded. Duke Marimburg's expression did not change. He left the orphanage under the protection of his personal guards. There were more Sea God Knights and personal guards outside the orphanage. After hearing the battle cries from inside, more personal guards and Sea God Knights rushed into the orphanage.
Because he trusted Ryan, Schultz had brought a total of two hundred personal guards with him. The Sea God Knights had even sent out an entire company. These people were all professional soldiers who had been released from their jobs. Most of them were Elites, and their combat power was extraordinary.
After Schultz and Aldrich left, Laing's expression gradually became complicated. His face flashed with bitterness. "From Coldwinter to Ulan Town, from Karzenhaven to Skaville Mountain, from Mjörden Haven to Marimburg, from the Gladiator Arena to the orphanage … Everything was to hunt down Bernt."
"Let's go, my dear. Let's put a perfect end to this story." Veronica was no longer wearing her usual skirt and high heels today. The woman had changed into a fiery red combat coat and tied up her long dark brown hair.
"Let's go!" The two of them entered the secret entrance of the dean's office with many personal guards and Sea God Knights.
In the underground tunnel.
Anida, the leader of the Aesthetic Society, hurriedly found the Chaos Altar. However, nothing special happened. The Chaos Altar was still as usual, flashing with black light and flowing with filthy energy.
Aneda carefully observed the Chaos Altar, but couldn't find anything strange about it.
There was only a black-robed man near the Chaos Altar. As soon as he saw Anida enter, he stood up impatiently. "Is the martial law over? Can I go out now? "
"No!" Anida's expression was very fierce. "Do you know how much danger you've brought to me? The paladins have just searched this place! "
"So what?! Anida! Do you know? I'm in so much pain, so much pain. My Lord would never want a champion hiding underground. He's been urging me to go out and fight! " The black-robed man painfully tore at his skin. Thirst for blood and the desire to fight constantly tore at his nerves. This was the result of believing in Khorne. Only fighting, heads, and blood could please the evil god.
"You just need to wait a little longer. When the wind blows over, you can go wherever you want! Kill to your heart's content! " Anida thought to herself that those who believed in Khorne were a bunch of idiots. When this was over, she would definitely kill Belt.
"Oh! Then I'm honored to tell you, Mr. Belt, that the battle you've been longing for has come. " While the two of them were still arguing, a cold male voice answered their question from behind them.
The trigger of the rune shotgun's Demonic Repulsion Sacred Flame was pulled, and the Chaos Altar was blown to pieces.
The washbasin-sized fireball hit Anida's back. The leader of the Aesthetic Society screamed and fell to the ground in flames, her life or death unknown.
The black-robed man stood up. "You've finally found me, Nord's ass?"
Laing's blue eyes burned with white flames.
"I've finally caught you, Belt!!!"
