Chapter 654 51. The true nature of the "Warden"
In the early morning, Colette woke up from her dream.
"Lily, what's wrong with you?"
Colette, who woke up, saw Rosella's concerned eyes and gradually relaxed.
"I dreamed of him again..."
"Your father?" Rosella looked at Colette and nodded gently, holding her shoulders to comfort her: "Uncle is an archbishop, he will be fine."
Colette did not speak, and the memory brought her back. Dreaming of a light and warm dream.
It would be nice if it wasn't a dream...
"I know a local fortune teller in Huadu. She should know about my uncle. Let's go over and give it a try?"
"Okay."
They first came to the mansion's restaurant to dine.
As the celebration approaches, Huadu begins to decorate the city with flowers. Rosella chattered while Colette stirred the hot soup with a silver spoon. At a certain moment, she raised her head.
Outside the window that reflected the cheek, a float loaded with bright blue flowers drove past the street.
……
Annan opened his eyes in front of the dusty room.
There is no sunshine, no cleanliness, no lively streets outside the window, the dusty room seems to have been abandoned by time, showing dust and decay.
There was a sudden sound outside the corridor. Annan turned around and saw that the sound was coming from the chapel.
After realizing something, Annan looked at the empty room, returned to the corridor, stood in front of the guardrail and looked down at the chapel on the first floor.
As if the church had just experienced a dazzling light, the entire chapel was gradually dimming. A dark silhouette knelt in front of the statue of the God of Order.
The whispers in Valencia dissipated with "The Warden" in the church.
"This is the reward I promised you..."
"'My' last wish is not for her, but to pray to see my god..."
"It's really sad..."
A book fell out from the disappearing outline of the warden.
Annan returned to the chapel and picked up the body of the "Warden". It was a vague code... no surprise.
Is this supposed to be a "good" ending? Valencia on January 17 made her daughter happy. The real Valencia finally saw the gods appear... although they were all false.
After calming down his emotions, Annan walked out of the church holding the code in his arms.
The strange prisoners who were alarmed by the previous light gathered in front of the church. Annan stood on the steps, looking down at them: "I am now appointed by the warden as deputy warden, which means I have the right to do Two things."
"The first thing is to acquit you."
Annan paused for a moment and pointed at the hairless werewolf after the weirdos finished cheering: "And the second thing. Two things...get it!"
The weirdos paused for a moment, then screamed and pounced on the hairless werewolf.
The painter depicts a hairless werewolf being strangled by a rope, and its neck is stretched as if it is suspended. The slug lying on the hairless werewolf's upper suddenly grew huge, wrapping around its legs. Candlehead and Crocodile Head grab the hairless werewolf's left and right arms respectively.
The remaining weirdos couldn't squeeze in, so they followed the slender dancing shadow in front of the hairless werewolf.
Annan drove away the dancing weirdness and stared at the roaring and struggling hairless werewolf: "Hairless werewolf, you killed young children, tried to swallow slugs several times, and offended the warden... I take this as my deputy As the warden, you are sentenced to death."
After that, he tilted his head slightly: "Sister, the body of the hairless werewolf will be handed over to you."
The charred girl crawled into the dungeon, and the hairless werewolf's roar grew louder and louder. Suddenly its body melted away like a candle, leaving only its roar echoing in the pre-dawn night sky.
Annan continued to pronounce the sentence after the burnt girl returned: "Then...it was a waste of time!"
"I am innocent! I just avenged the person who killed me!" The screams of the dead caught in the same way. "So his family, his neighbors, and his colleagues are also involved?" Annan said with a sarcastic tone, "Are you seeking revenge, or are you venting because of the sudden power you gained?"
"I... of course I am seeking revenge!"
"But you only have a triumphant tone when you tell it."
Then the burnt girl was asked to eat the body of the dead man, and Annan successively announced two strange death sentences.
"If it kills me, it will kill you too!"
The death scream of one weird creature makes the remaining weird ones uneasy. Annan told them: "If you have not made a mistake, nothing will happen."
"Candle head..."
"I..."
The candle head of the candle, which has been a loyal guard, almost went out. It wanted to resist, but the Burnt Girl was staring at it and it didn't dare to move.
"Although you killed the guards, because of self-defense... I am not qualified to forgive you on behalf of the guards, so I can only compensate their families for you. Can you accept it?"
Candlehead, who was about to cry, breathed a sigh of relief and knelt on the ground humbly, "Your kindness has never been seen before even in my lifetime..."
"Stand up, don't kneel."
< br>
"As for the remaining weirdos... you are safe."
The weirdos breathed a sigh of relief, looking enviously at the burnt girl who had devoured several weirdos and became much stronger.
"You don't have to be envious, because you will be like her soon."
Annan looked around at the remaining twenty-eight weirdos.
"Please allow me to introduce myself, I am Annan·King of the North·Raven Nemesis·Rat Hunting Champion·Lord of the Floating City·Champion Warlock·Dungeon Warden·King of Hide and Seek·Weird Goodwill Messenger· Reeves. And the warden will be familiar to you... He is the Archbishop of the Church of Order, Valencia."
The weirdos let out a burst of anthropomorphic exclamations.
“My city-state, Free City, is a city as magnificent as Lost City. There, elves, dwarves, orcs, ratmen, and demons live together freely and harmoniously. But now, the people who have been cleansed of their sins You are qualified to enter the Free City, and you no longer need to hide in the dark like rats in the gutter..."
Annan eliminated the unstable factors and gathered the weirdness. But he couldn't bring so many weirdos to the royal city, so he arranged a final test.
Annan and the remaining weirdos said: "You stay here and wait for me to come back. I will go to the palace to find the princess and solve all this..."
...
Annan set out in the early morning. Without the suppression of the princess, the Lost City is gradually evolving into chaos. Fortunately, the burnt girl with enhanced strength can protect Annan and rush to the palace.
The nobles hiding here are thinner than a few days ago...but the fat nobles still look naive.
Annan glanced at several faces that appeared in the Queen's Council. Their glory at that time was in contrast to their abjection at this time.
"Move these things, I will send them to the princess now."
Facing the gazes of the nobles and the magic lights lighting up along the way, Annan arrived at the circular square.
"Sorry, it took me a while."
Looking at the princess who was still entangled in thorns and sitting in the light, Annan's voice became gentle.
"You really did it..." the princess whispered happily, finding him looking at her cheek, "What happened to my face?"
"I had a dream , I dreamed of returning to the Lost City three years ago, and saw you.”
“I had not become so ugly at that time...” The princess showed a trace of recollection.
Annan shook his head.
"You are more beautiful now."
