Chapter 242: The Baptism Ceremony
The mansion where Balpo was located was like a huge palace. When Eggie arrives in the East End and finds the most lively mansion, he becomes more and more indignant. It seems that Ballpo has taken advantage of a lot of people's money and built such a beautiful palace.
The baptism was performed on the altar that had been erected in the palace of Palpo.
Since Balpo was madly obsessed with this baptism, which was held twice a month, he built an altar directly in his mansion. And it also means that two civilian girls will be robbed of their bodies by Balpo in a month.
This has gradually intensified the anger of the residents of the West Side. The internal contradictions in the city of Yefilol are slowly expanding, and if Balpo continues to be so arrogant, I am afraid that it will cause disputes in the city.
Many people know about Balpo's origins, and in fact, many people think his approach is ridiculous and laugh at him from the bottom of their hearts. But helpless because of his strength and the strength of the army, where do ordinary people dare to gossip.
When it comes to Balpo's strength, many people are afraid. It is not known who helped Balpo, who suddenly became so powerful that he could destroy a house with a single punch. And he is keen on the fighting arena, and often fights with some large monsters. People have seen it with their own eyes, and he has raised a black bull beast with one hand.
The Black Bullmon is a truly powerful beast, and it has also been domesticated for use on the battlefield, and it can be described as a tank-like monster. The strength of a person who can lift up the Black Bull Beast with one hand is really unimaginable. Because of this, it is strange that people are not afraid of Balbo.
Edge was faster than Rad's, and he must have arrived at Balpo's mansion before Rad. In order to prevent Ladd from getting into trouble when he comes, he asks Giroud to help keep an eye on Ladd, and if he sees Ladd's impulsiveness, he must stop it as soon as possible.
This is Balpo's mansion, and it's all his man. If Ladd had acted impulsively, he would have been in big trouble. Although Edge knew that there was no problem in saving people with his own strength, the fundamental purpose of his visit to Yefilol City was to find out the situation of the combined forces of the Righteous Army, and he didn't want to have an accident for other things.
But as you can imagine, that old Gaetu won't be directly tied to Carol to the altar. How could such a noisy thing appear on the altar of divine solemnity. Age thinks that old Gaitu must have been the one who contacted Balpo in private, and handed Carol to Balpo in exchange for payment.
In this case, if you want to find Carlo, the chances of finding Carol on the altar are slim, so it is better to go directly to the interior of the Palpo mansion.
But Edge had to take care of Ladd, who was always ready to save people, if he was busy trying to save Carol, and Ladd was killed when he arrived...... This is also something that is not desirable.
For this reason, Aggie can only go separate ways with Giroud. He had Giroud fly into the interior of the Palpo mansion to look for Carlo, while he stayed outside the altar to keep an eye on the situation.
Ballpo arranged the altar in a beautiful manner, surrounded by several statues of angels, facing the center of the altar, holding a mirror in his hand, as if shining with holy light. In the center of the altar is a bath with hot water. Curtains are erected around the pool to provide shelter.
After the baptismal ceremony begins, Bilpo takes off his clothes and enters the bath to soak. When a certain amount of time is reached, the sacrifice is offered. Naturally, the priests were the commoner girls from the West End. In other words, the girls of the West Side will be taken over by Balpo in front of everyone.
Naturally, if this kind of thing is a situation where the girl resists, it will be embarrassing. For this reason, the girl will go through some treatment before being sacrificed, and control her behavior with drugs and the like, so as to make the baptismal ceremony of Ballpo go smoothly.
Because the people present were all nobles, even if the commoners of the West End were very angry, they could not stop Balpo.
The baptismal ceremony finally reached the sacrifice of the girl, and in the eyes of everyone, two soldiers carried a girl to the altar. The girl's face was covered, and it was impossible to see if she was Carlo or not. But it is certain that she was drugged without the slightest struggle.
Edge looked around, but didn't see Ladd. There are a lot of people at the scene, and it is not easy to find someone in this chaotic scene.
"Who?!Damn, you dare to disturb the baptism of adults and catch him!"
As Edge kept looking, looking for Rad's figure, a corner of the altar suddenly erupted in the shouts of the soldiers. At this time, a man rushed into the altar and knocked down the soldier who was carrying the girl up, and then he grabbed the girl and ran.
Everyone was extremely surprised that someone dared to disturb Lord Balpo's baptismal ceremony, it was really boring!
Hearing the movement, Edge took a quick look. At this look, he had to marvel that the person who suddenly rushed into the altar to save the girl was none other than Ladd!
It turned out that Ladd had come here early in the morning, but he had been hiding in the corner closest to the altar. I'm afraid no one would have thought that a person who wanted to disturb the baptism ceremony of Ballpo would walk so close to the altar. Aegie didn't notice it, so he never found him.
It has to be said that such an act of Rad is reckless and stupid. He did so, and even if he saved Carol - and for the time being the girl she was Carol, he wouldn't have been able to escape. The consequence of this was that both he and Carol would die.
However, this also happens to show Rad's affection for Carol. For Carlo's sake, he could not even take his life. In this respect, it is not easy to judge Ladd as a stupid person. After all, if Ladd didn't show up to save Carol at this time, by the time Balpo's baptism ceremony was over, Carol would no longer be the same Carlo.
Not because he disliked that Carol would lose her body, but because he didn't let Carol suffer that kind of fatal injury.
Ladd didn't know any combat skills, and from the moment he rushed out, he was doomed. Soon he and the girl were surrounded by several soldiers, and in a short time they were knocked to the ground.
The holy baptism was disturbed, or by a poor man from the West End, how could Ballpo tolerate such a thing. He lifted the curtain of the bath and appeared on the altar wearing only a loose robe. When Edge saw him, he had to marvel at the height of his body.
If I want to describe it, I can only say that he is like Barton, giving people the feeling of a little giant. The exposed arms, chest, and restless muscles at the door are simply a complete muscular man.
No wonder he can lift a black bull beast with one hand, such a body, the shining power, people can't help but feel a sense of fear of him.
Ballpo stood in front of Rad, and Rad didn't dare to move when he saw it, completely suppressed by Ballpo's momentum.
At this time, Balpo was naturally angry, he frowned, stretched out his hand from a distance, slapped Rader's head, and grabbed Rad's head and lifted him up.
"Ahh......h
The head was pinched, and Ladd began to struggle, letting out a cry of pain.
Ballpo began to exert force on his fingers, and it was not difficult to predict that in the next moment, Ladd would probably be pinched and shot in the head and died.
But Aegie couldn't watch Ladd die, so he had to meddle and save Ladd.
