Chapter 321 Explosion and Flame
Ma Lu noticed an explosion in the direction of the Witch's House, and immediately walked downstairs without stopping at the shoemaker's shop.
After he went out, he found that Goethe was still following him closely.
"The questioning is over, there is nothing more to do with you here." Malu turned around and said.
“But I still want to stay by your side to help.” The female intelligence dealer said with a humble attitude.
Malu was slightly surprised, but he soon guessed what Goethe was planning. He originally wanted to drive her away, but then changed his mind.
Now the main road in front of me has been blocked by the crowds participating in the celebration. I don’t know how long it will take to walk from here to the Witch’s House. And Malu is not familiar with Temple City, so he took advantage of the situation and said .
“I’m going to the Witch’s House. Do you know how to go faster?”
“Of course, you’ve found the right person,” Goethe breathed a sigh of relief, “I’ll give it to you right away. You lead the way. "
The female intelligence dealer didn't lie. With her in front, although it was a little further away, the speed was much faster.
However, Malu still disliked Goethe for walking too slowly, and later simply held her in his hand and asked her to guide him.
The two also passed an explosion point along the way. The battle there was over. The witch who caused the explosion was killed by the knights and police who arrived.
Her body was almost sieved by bullets, and her appearance could no longer be recognized. In addition to herself, the explosion also caused about hundreds of civilian casualties, with corpses scattered everywhere. There were injured people wailing in the ruins.
Goethe has lived in the Temple City for twenty-nine years, and this is the first time he has seen such a scene.
Although she often complained about the tyranny of the church and her almost pathological pursuit of order, when this order was broken and chaos came, she was as at a loss as most people in the city. Wrapped in a deep sense of fear.
Malu quickened his pace again, and at the same time he was also paying attention to the movements of the knights.
After being promoted to Master, as a senior member of the Knights, he now has command authority and can view some orders and receive combat briefings.
Judging from the briefing, Levi's counterattack was quite timely. With the addition of dozens of knights, the fallen witches who sneaked into the city were either killed or fled before the knights arrived. .
The chaos in the city was quickly brought under control. The police maintained order, and medical and fire teams rushed to the scene to rescue the wounded and control the fire.
Ma Lu also arrived outside the Witch's House at this time. There had also been a battle here not long ago. The iron gates were all broken, and half of the iron gates were completely melted by the high temperature.
Through the door that no longer existed, Malu also saw a collapsed building and the flames that were still burning.
A cordon was also put up here, and two knights were guarding the door, but after seeing Ma Lu, they immediately stepped forward to salute.
"Master."
Ma Lu put Goethe aside and asked, "How is the situation inside?"
One of the knights immediately reported, " About a quarter of an hour ago, a fallen witch launched an attack here, and some witches inside also took the opportunity to betray. However, after encountering resistance from other witches, they quickly retreated and blew up the auditorium before leaving."

"Oh, what about the casualties?"
"All 12 guards of the Witch's House were killed in the first round of conflict, and the three nuns who tried to prevent them from leaving were also killed by them. In addition, the explosion in the auditorium also killed three witches."
Ma Lu remained calm after hearing this, "Have you found out who the witches are?" "The list of traitors is still being compiled. After the order is completed, the church will use the ring of order to execute them directly," another knight said.
Ma Lu nodded and walked towards the door.
The two knights looked at each other without stopping.
Ma Lu now finds that the title of master is quite useful and can save him a lot of trouble.
He walked into the witch's house in such a swagger, and this place was usually inaccessible to knights except for the nuns and witches inside.
He didn't meet many people along the way. Until he came to the ruins where the explosion occurred, there were more people. Everyone was busy putting out the fire.
Although witches have many legal professions, their weapons are usually locked, and they cannot cast spells at this time. They can only use the most primitive means to put out fires like ordinary people.
Malu also saw Skylark in the crowd. The latter was carrying a small bucket and running very fast on his short legs. He went to the bathroom not far away to fetch water, and then ran back.
Ma Lu stopped her and asked, "Are everyone else okay?"
In the end, she didn't ask if she was okay. When she heard Malu's voice, Skylark burst into tears. While crying, she said, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, she's buried underneath!"
She pointed to the pile of ruins that were still burning.
Ma Lu didn't show any sadness when he heard this. He knew the identity of Ouroboros, and he remembered what the girl said to him when he went out last time. He knew in his heart that this should be what Ouroboros meant. There is no way to involve them anymore.
Faking death? It's a solution.
Ma Lu did not join the fire-fighting team. Instead, he grabbed Yunque and asked her about the whereabouts of the other two people.
I was relieved to learn that both Cerberus and Bird of Paradise were safe from the attack.
Ma Lu was not in a hurry to leave after that. The situation in the city is still unclear. The Witch Alliance launched so many attacks at once. No one knows where their next target will be. Instead, it is the Witch's House. The edge has already been blasted by them once, so the safety is even higher.
Ma Lu plans to stay here for a while to see what happens next, and at least to understand what those fallen witches want to do.
They are now wreaking havoc and setting off fireworks all over the city, but in the final analysis they are still carrying out terrorist attacks. Not only are they unable to sway the church, but they will actually make ordinary people's hatred of the witches even deeper.
Fortunately, this answer did not bother Ma Lu for too long. Soon he received another message. This time it was sent by the Holy Knights, asking the knights in the Southwest District to rush to Renxin Square immediately. Protect the Pope.
A large number of fallen witches suddenly appeared there, with more than forty people in total. It was the largest group of fallen witches so far.
Among them are the traitors who escaped from the Witch's House not long ago, and if nothing else, Ouroboros, who faked his death, is also among them.
Is that so?
The previous series of attacks in the city were just to disperse the strength of the Holy Knights and create opportunities for real action. The Witch Alliance was indeed very smart in this move.
However, Ma Lu noticed that the previous series of transfer orders were all ordinary knights, but Li Wei and his confidants were quiet and there was no movement at all.
