Chapter 1028 259. Annan, Guardian of the Kingdom
There is no guardian church in Liberty City, or in other words, there is currently no church in Liberty City.
The reason... Annan's inspiration for "The Temple of Gods" is a bit too shocking.
The order camp thinks that putting all the gods into one temple is too chaotic, and the chaos camp thinks that putting all the gods into one temple is too orderly, so that they have never been so united to resist one thing.
If Annan hadn't been very popular in China, if the lost believers hadn't been so anxious, and if Annan hadn't been fighting at the forefront of mankind's defense against aliens, those mad believers would have launched a jihad long ago. .
Even the empire felt that Annan's behavior was too barbaric, and sent people to persuade him that the gods were only temporarily out of contact, and they might come back, at least for a few years...
But unlike Chaos, Chaos has a way of solving problems. It is to create chaos, and in the eyes of the order camp, Annan is a target that can be won over and a candidate who can be "ordered", so the guardian church in Syltovis did not hesitate to be kind and answered Olmedo's question.
The person left behind in the church dungeon was the priestess of the Maid of Misfortune - the Iron Maiden was not lying about this.
In the year 999 of the Saint Laurent calendar, the year when the gods completely lost contact, countless churches in the Allen continent fell into chaos. In order to reconnect with each other's gods, the believers tried their best to launch wars.
The order camp will also care about the turmoil caused by actions, but the chaos camp has no scruples. They have implemented countless methods, including but not limited to sacrificing a city to please the gods, massacring a certain race, and letting the entire principality indulge in carnival. Pleasure, and the hunting of rival churches.
Believers of the Maid of Doom are one of those "at any cost". They spread doom everywhere in an attempt to get the Misfortune Girls to look at them again.
Louise is the name of the priest. She is in charge of the entire kingdom of Rekaner. The kingdom at that time was not so bad...or rather, it had not been discovered that it was so bad. In order to eliminate Louise and her men, the guardian of the church paid a lot of price.
Some things happened later that deepened the conflict between the church and the kingdom. The guardian church gave up operating in the kingdom, and Louise was specially left to the kingdom.
"They also said that since we asked this, it means we have met her. Stay away from her, as far away as possible. The followers of the Girl of Misfortune are full of misfortune. Once she escapes, the entire New King will be doomed. If captured, even the people who killed them would suffer misfortunes, so the church just sealed her."
Seeing that Annan not only cannot use her, but also needs to continue to seal her to prevent bad luck from happening in the new capital.
But continuing the seal won't work... Church people say that the longer the seal lasts, the more resentment the priest will accumulate, and the more violent it will be when it breaks out.
After all, the priest is the leading figure in the church, the person in charge of a kingdom, a big shot who can contact the gods before the gods are in turmoil. Even without the magic, they are still difficult to provoke.
The guardian church left a big trouble, but not for the new royal capital, but for Annan.
He could almost imagine the moment the Iron Maiden's resentment broke out, what kind of nightmare the people living in the new capital would suffer...
"There is an Iron Maiden who protects the church...that is Louise More information? ”
"I'll ask again."
Soon after Annan opened the portal, Olmedo said that the church didn't know much. They only knew that many members of the Church of Doom were orphans.
Annan thought thoughtfully: "Has Aunt Susan cooked?"
......
Later, Annan came to the deepest part of the dungeon holding an apple pie. at.
The magic lamp hanging on the cell door still gave off a comfortable glow. Annan hesitated for a moment outside the door, thinking that the cell door could not prevent any bad luck, so he opened the cell door and walked in.
Maybe it was because the ground was wet, or maybe the grass absorbed water. Annan slipped when he stepped on the wet grass, and he only had time to lift the apple pie to prevent it from being thrown out.
His back was hit hard on the cold ground, making it difficult for Annan to breathe.
The mage's robe's malicious detection and magic shield were not activated, accident...just an accident...
"Are you okay..." Maria exclaimed and rushed over.
"Don't come in -"
It was too late. As soon as Maria got close to Annan, she slipped and fell backwards. The tail hidden in the uniform fell out, and it was lifted together with her legs and rested on Annan. On the chest. Can elite ratmen also wrestle? It was definitely not an accident this time...
Annan peeled off the tail beside his head and lay on the ground for a while before being pulled up by Maria.
"Fortunately, I didn't drop the apple pie..." Annan checked the intact and still steaming apple pie, exhaled, and walked as close to Iron Maiden as if on thin ice, regardless of the several pieces of wet grass stuck to the back of his head. , set aside.
"Martin and I like the apple pie made by Aunt Susan. Do you want to try it?"
The Iron Maiden didn't move. Annan guessed that she was shy and took Maria out of the cell. .
As for the cell door...it seems useless to lock it, and those left in the Purification Court are all executioners whose hands are stained with the blood of the Blade of Freedom. It doesn't hurt to lose Annan.
Activating the cleaning technique to make the outer uniforms look brand new, Annan and Maria left the dungeon and did business first.
Sheriff Milburn should have gotten the news, but he didn't expect Annan to actually take action against him.
So when Annan led the people from the Purification Court to surround Sheriff Millburn's manor, he was still waiting for the city guards to arrive.
Sheriff Milburn arrived late, only to see nearby residents surrounded outside. His family was under control, and there were piles of property next to him. There were also several people who had just escaped from the dungeon of the manor. victims of the day.
"Young Master Olmei, I have not offended you." Sheriff Milburn's face was so gloomy that he could shed tears.
"Barr, do you know?" Annan glanced at the victims covered in ulcers, "The king's cousin, the Marquis, has not offended me, but he is locked up in the Purification Court dungeon, preparing to be hanged. .”
“You...”
"Milburn Brito!"
Annan's cold voice choked Sheriff Milburn.
"I am arresting you for colluding with the Freedom Blade, corruption, setting up private dungeons, imprisoning people from the Kingdom, etc.!"
"...Freedom Blade? I don't have it!"
< br>Annan knew that he would quibble, so he pushed Buster out calmly.
"Do you still know him?"
The moment he saw him, Sheriff Milburn's face turned pale.
"This Free Blade has confessed to accepting bribes from you...What else do you have to say?"
"I was...an undercover agent."
"Undercover?" Annan looked at Buster.
"My lord, he is lying to you! He gave us a bag of gold coins and asked us to go to Holt Street to develop!"
Buster poured what Annan did on Sheriff Milburn's head.
Magistrate Milburn no longer quibbles, because he knows that it is no longer important whether he can prove his innocence. Young Olmei just wants to kill himself...
"Why!?" He Staring at Annan with resentment and incomprehension.
“Because I am an official of the kingdom, any act of betrayal of the kingdom will be brought to justice!”
I don't know who was the first to applaud, and gradually there was a round of applause and cheers.
