Section 51. Warden".

Early in the morning, Corlett woke up from her dream.

"Lily, what's wrong with you?"

Corlett, who woke up, saw Rosella's concerned eyes and gradually relaxed.

"I'm dreaming of him again......"

"Your father?" Rosela looked at Corlett and gently bowed her head, grabbed her shoulders and comforted: "Uncle is the archbishop, he will be fine." ”

Corlett didn't speak, reminiscing with a faint warm dream.

If only it weren't a dream......

"I know a local soothsayer in Huadu, she should know about her uncle's situation, let's go over and give it a try?"

"Okay."

They first went to the restaurant of the mansion to eat.

As the festivities approach, the city begins to decorate the city with flowers. Rosela chattered as Corlett stirred the hot soup with a silver spoon. At one point, she looked up.

Outside the window reflecting his cheeks, a float laden with bright blue flowers drove down the street.

……

Annan opened his eyes in front of the dusty room.

There is no sunlight, no smooth and new, no lively streets outside the window, and dusty rooms seem to have been abandoned by time, revealing ashes and decay.

Suddenly there was a noise outside the hallway, and Annan turned around, and the sound came from the chapel.

Realizing something, Annan glanced at the empty room, returned to the hallway, and stood in front of the guardrail looking down at the chapel on the first floor.

It was as if the church had just experienced a dazzling light, and the whole chapel was gradually dimming. A pitch-black silhouette knelt down in front of the statue of the god of order.

Valencia's whispers dissipated in the church with the "Warden".

"This is the reward I promised you......"

"My last wish is not for her, but for a prayer to see my own god......"

"It's sad......"

A book fell out of the vanishing warden's silhouette.

Annan walked back to the chapel and picked up the "warden" itself, which was a vague codex...... No surprises.

Should this be a "good" ending? Valencia on January 17 makes her daughter happy, and the real Valencia finally sees the manifestation of the gods...... Although all are false.

Gathering his emotions, Annan walked out of the church with the Codex in his arms.

The strange prisoners, alarmed by the previous light, gathered in front of the church, and Annan stood on the steps and looked down at them: "I am now appointed by the warden as the deputy warden, which means that I have the authority to do two things. ”

"The first thing is to acquit them."

Annan paused slightly, pointing to the hairless werewolf after the freaks cheered: "And the second thing...... Take it down! ”

The freaks were momentarily silent, screaming and pounced on the hairless werewolf.

The Sketchpad Man depicts a hairless werewolf strangled by a rope with its neck elongated as if it had been hoisted. The slugs lying on the upper of the hairless werewolf's shoes were massive, enveloping its legs. The candle head and crocodile head grab the left and right arms of the hairless werewolf, respectively.

The rest of the weirdness couldn't squeeze in, so they danced in front of the hairless werewolf with the slender dancing shadow.

Annan dispelled the strangeness of dancing and looked at the roaring and struggling hairless werewolf: "Hairless werewolf, you killed young children, tried to devour slugs several times, and offended the warden...... I sentence you in my capacity as Deputy Warden...... Death penalty. ”

After speaking, he tilted his head slightly: "Sister, the body of the hairless werewolf will be handed over to you." ”

The charred girl burrowed into the dungeon, and the hairless werewolf's roar grew louder and stronger, and suddenly its body melted away like a candle, leaving only the roar to echo in the pre-dawn night sky.

Annan continued to pronounce the sentence after the return of the charred girl: "And then ...... Dead in vain! ”

"I'm innocent! I'm just taking revenge on the man who killed me! "The dead who had been caught in the same way screamed.

"So his family, his neighbors, his colleagues?" Annan's tone was sarcastic, "Are you taking revenge, or are you venting because you suddenly gained power?" ”

"I ...... Of course I'm getting revenge! ”

"But you only speak in a smug tone."

and then let the charred girl eat the body of the dead in vain, and Annan announced two strange death sentences one after another.

"If it kills me, it will kill you!"

A grotesque scream before death makes the rest of the weirdos uneasy. Annan told them: "If you have not made a mistake, you will be fine." ”

"Candle Head ......"

"I ......"

The flame of the candle head that had been serving as the faithful guard was almost extinguished. It tried to resist, but was stared at by the scorched maiden and kept it from moving.

"You killed the guards, but in self-defense...... I am not in a position to forgive you on behalf of the guards, so I can only compensate their families on your behalf, can you accept it? ”

The candle head that was about to cry breathed a sigh of relief and knelt humbly on the ground, "Your kindness has never been seen even in my life......"

"Stand up, don't kneel."

"As for the rest of the weirdness...... You're safe. ”

The weirdos breathed a sigh of relief, and some looked enviously at the scorched girls who devoured a few weird and much more powerful ones.

"You don't have to be envious, because you'll soon be like her."

Annan looked around at the remaining twenty-eight weird.

"Allow me to introduce myself, I am Annan, King of the North, Nezumi Buster, Champion Rat Hunter, Lord of the Floating City, Champion Warlock, Dungeon Keeper, King of Hide and Seek, Strange Goodwill Messenger, Reeves. And you are no stranger to Warden...... He is the Archbishop of the Church of Order, Valencia. ”

The freaks let out an anthropomorphic exclamation.

"My city-state, Liberty City, a city as grand as Hearsi. There elves, dwarves, orcs, nezumi, and demons live freely and harmoniously. And now, you who have been washed away from your sins are entitled to enter Free City, and you no longer have to hide in the night like rats in the gutter......"

Annan cleared the instability and gathered the weird. However, he couldn't take so many weirdness to the royal city, so he arranged the last test.

Annan said to the rest of the strangers: "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 off early in the morning. Losing the suppression of the princess, Hearsa City is gradually evolving into chaos, but fortunately, the charred girl with improved strength can shelter Annan and rush to the palace.

The nobles hiding here are thinner than they were a few days ago...... But the fat aristocracy still looks naΓ―ve.

Annan swept over the faces that appeared in the royal council, their brilliance contrasting with their despondency.

"Get rid of these things, and I'll send them to the princess now."

Greeted by the gaze of the nobles and the magic lamps lit along the way, Annan came to the circular square.

"Sorry for the extra time."

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 with relief as she noticed that he was looking at her cheek, "what's wrong with my face?" ”

"I had a dream that I went back to Persona City three years ago and saw you."

"I hadn't become so ugly then...... "The princess had a hint of reminiscence.

Annan shook his head.

"You're more beautiful now."
