The next day, it was sunny after the rain.

Celia and Margalesia walked out of the hotel together, and the innkeeper looked at them with a puzzled expression.

He remembered that only the black-robed woman stayed there yesterday, and besides, how could this blonde woman look so familiar.

But before he could think about it, a piece of news reached his ears.

Something big happened last night! There was a cult sacrifice at Weems Manor on Queen's Road!

Several of the servants of the manor were frightened to the sight of the mess in the dark room.

According to the depiction, the scene was littered with flesh and blood fragments, with only one being the head of Duke Weems himself, which was used to prove his identity.

And the duke's youngest daughter, Relia, who has been in the spotlight recently, also disappeared.

It is said that before dawn, the priest of the Temple of Dawn had already gone to the Duke's palace to investigate, and it was rumored that it was a ritual about the devil.

Karando is in turmoil again.

But the innkeeper was not surprised, because in this way, the murder that had occurred in his street would not be suppressed.

After all, I believe that it will not be long before this news will be known all over the city, just like having wings on it.

When the time comes, everyone will talk about Weems Manor, Queen's Road, not the inconspicuous homicide that happened on his humble street.

However, when the next news reached his ears, it was like a lightning strike, and the joy was instantly extinguished.

The holy warriors stationed in the temple area are dispatched!

This means that the whole of Karandu will be under martial law throughout the city.

All the wicked people either fled the city or retreated to their homes, praying to the gods that they would not come to the door.

It's no joke that a paladin throws an evil detection when he meets someone.

This also means that all adventurers or merchants who want to enter the city recently will think twice.

Whether his camp has deviated, whether he has done anything evil, otherwise, before he enters the city of freedom, I am afraid that he will be judged.

As a result, the originally prosperous civilian area, the city of free trade, may fall into a state of cold depression.

Eric's dream of normal business will also be silenced again because of this Paladin dispatch.

Celia and Margalesia, who had left the inn, were also stationed by two paladins.

This rumor was also heard among the residents.

"Devil's ritual? Selling your soul to the devil?"

"How many years have it been, in the past, there were devil rituals in remote villages or small towns, but now even in the Duke's mansion, what's wrong with this world?"

"Who is the chief priest of the devil's ritual, the vanished Miss Duchess, or is it some other .....?"

The voices of the inhabitants made Celia and Margalesia look at each other, but they were able to enter and exit the city gate without incident.

After a night of conversation, Maglesia seemed to be persuaded by Celia.

However, instead of going home, she chose to visit the families of her deceased teammates and bring the news of their deaths back to their hometowns.

"Captain, I'm sorry for you!"

Under the golden silk and black robe, the gray-haired girl looked fixedly at Margalesia, who was about to get on a carriage bound for the White Tower.

Margalesia said with a nonchalant face.

"Don't worry, I'll bring your condolences to Galliot and their family. ”

"Since you can't leave here, I'll do it for you. ”

"But is that Your Excellency really as unkind as you say, and I would like to visit her and thank her for saving you. ”

Margalesia, under Celia's white lies, believed most of her words, but she was still a little puzzled by this.

After all, how could a powerful spellcaster save Celia if he had a strange temperament?

Will there be a scheme, but looking at Celia's current appearance, except for the collar, the good can't be better, and Margalesia can only listen to her.

"Hmm...... It's really ...... Eccentric. ”

Celia carefully recalled Gordon's appearance and demeanor, and found that this young dragon seemed to be different from other real dragons.

Whether in battle or in life, he has extraordinary patience and will not show the tyranny and ruthlessness that dragons often have.

It's more like a metal dragon that has been deeply involved in the world.

"Nasilia, don't make that Excellency angry, it's normal for high-level professionals to have strange tempers, just bear with it. ”

Margalesia hurriedly suggested.

"No! I respect it too late...... Where do you dare to provoke it, don't say anything, the carriage is about to leave, head of the regiment, go and report it!"

Celia said this, a slight flush appeared on her face, and she remembered the name of Gordon, and now she felt a sense of shame when she thought about it.

"Okay, then I'll go first, you have to take care!"

Margalessia looked at the leader of the long carriage line, counting the number of people.

As a second-order warrior, she must be present as a temporary escort.

"Goodbye!

Celia waved her hand as a sign of farewell, and Margalesia smiled.

Turning, he raised his right hand above his head, waved, and walked towards the front of the long carriage without looking back.

Probably due to the Paladins, many caravans left Karando much earlier.

Try to get out of the city before the paladins can take over the gates.

However, it is said that it is mainly the temple that puts people in the noble quarter, which has been banned, and not a single fly can fly out.

The devil's invasion of the main material plane is not big, but it is not small.

But being able to quietly infiltrate the Duke's Mansion is enough to show that behind this, it is definitely not accidental.

It is enough to arouse the anger of the people in the temple, and directly use the power of thunder to remove the evil hidden in the city of freedom.

When Celia set foot on the street again, she found that the street villains who had just been out of the street for a few days had disappeared.

The doors are closed, and even the taverns that used to be open all night have closed.

Obviously, when they asked about the rumors, they were like the rats in the black street, and they suddenly disappeared.

It is said that Vinci of the dragon hunting bar, even early in the morning, took the core backbone and went to the sea to avoid the limelight, because the wind was tight.

However, just as Celia is about to step into the mouth of the sewer and return to the kobold.... Oh no, it's supposed to be called Dragon's Lair now.

A group of paladins dressed in bright red and silver Sun Armor, armed with sun shields and long swords, arrived in the Black Street.

There is also a priest in a sun robe, who is the leader of the group.

Judging by the sunrise emblem of red, rose, and yellow gemstones on their chests or shields, they were devotees of Loshanda.

The leading priest first looked at the silent dark street and sneered slightly.

Then he said to the paladin behind him.

"The Dawn Sacrifice orders us to remove the evil of the Black Street this time, and to pull out the evil of the sewers completely!"

"Until nothingness, let the light of the Lord of Dawn shine on this land of filthy shadows completely!"

"Yes!

The Holy Warriors, whose average level was as high as the third order, said in unison to the [Dawn Greeter] who had already arrived in front of him, who had been transferred from the priest of Luoshanda for the second time and had reached the level of a fifth-order professional.

"Praise be to the Lord of the Dawn! May the light of the Lord of the Dawn always protect you!"

The leader priest nodded in satisfaction, and then gave these holy warriors a buff magic spell, and strode into this silent and lonely dark street.

On this day, the light of dawn will rise from the sea level, illuminating the shadows of this white giant city.
