Alien world

Chapter 1028 259. Kingdom Guardian Annan

Liberty City does not have a guardian church, or rather, there is no church in Liberty City at present.

The reason is...the "Temple of the Gods" inspired by Annan was 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 they have never been so united to resist one thing together.

If Annan had not been so popular in Middle-earth, if the believers had not been extremely anxious about the loss of contact with the gods, if Annan had not been fighting on the front line of humanity's defense against alien races, that group of fanatical lunatics would have launched a holy war long ago.

Even the Empire felt that Annan was too barbaric and sent people to persuade them that the gods were only temporarily out of touch and might return. They could wait at least a few years...

Unlike chaos, which solves problems by creating chaos, in the eyes of the Order camp, Annan is an object that can be won over and a candidate who can be "ordered", so the Guardian Church of Siltovis did not hesitate to answer Olmedo's questions.

The one left in the church dungeon was the priest of the Maiden of Misfortune—the Iron Maiden did not lie about this.

In the year 999 of the Saint Laurent calendar, when the gods completely lost contact, countless churches on the continent of Allen fell into chaos. In order to reconnect with each other's gods, the believers tried every means and started a war.

The Order faction would still be concerned about the unrest caused by their actions, but the Chaos faction had no scruples. They implemented countless methods, including but not limited to sacrificing a city to please the gods, slaughtering a certain race, letting the entire principality sink into carnival and pleasure, and hunting down hostile churches.

The followers of the doom girl are part of the "by any means necessary" group. They spread doom everywhere, trying to get the doom girl to pay attention to them again.

Louise was the name of the priestess. She was in charge of the entire Kingdom of Rekanel. At that time, the kingdom was not so bad... or rather, it had not been discovered to be so bad. In order to eliminate Louise and her men, the Guardian Church paid a great price.

Later, some things happened that deepened the conflict between the church and the kingdom. The Guardian Church gave up operating in the kingdom, and Louise was deliberately left to the kingdom.

"They also said that since we asked this, it means we have met her. Stay away from her, the farther the better. The followers of the Maiden of Doom are full of misfortune. Once she escapes, the entire New King City will be captured by Doom, and even the people who killed them will meet with misfortune. That's why the church just sealed it up."

From this perspective, Annan not only cannot use her, but also has to continue to seal her to prevent disaster from breaking out in the new capital.

But continuing the seal is not good... People in the church said that the longer the seal is, the more resentment the priest will accumulate, and the more violent it will be when it explodes.

After all, the priest is the leading figure of the church, the person in charge of a kingdom, and a big shot who can contact the gods before the divine turmoil. Even if he has lost his divine power, he is still difficult to provoke.

The Guardian Church left a big trouble, but not for the new capital, but for Annan.

He could almost imagine what kind of nightmare the people living in the new capital would suffer the moment the Iron Girl's resentment erupted...

"Is there more information about the Iron Girl who protects the Church... Louise?"

"I'll go ask again."

Soon after, Annan opened the portal, and 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 yet?"

……

Later, Annan came to the deepest part of the dungeon with an apple pie.

The magic lamp hanging on the cell door still emitted a comfortable glow. Annan hesitated outside the door for a moment, thinking that the cell door could not prevent any bad luck, so he opened the cell door and walked in.

Perhaps it was because the ground was wet, or perhaps it was because the hay absorbed water, but Annan slipped on the wet hay and only had time to lift up the apple pie to prevent it from flying out.

His back hit the cold ground hard, making it difficult for Annan to breathe.

The mage robe's malicious detection and magic shield were not activated. It was an accident... just an accident...

"Are you okay..." Maria exclaimed and rushed over.

"Don't come in—"

It was too late. Maria slipped and fell backwards just as she approached Annan. Her tail, which was hidden in her uniform, fell out and was lifted up along with her legs, resting on Annan's chest. Can elite ratmen also wrestle? This time it was definitely not an accident...

Annan pulled the tail away from his head and lay on the ground for a while before being pulled up by Maria.

"Fortunately, the apple pie was not dropped..." Annan checked the intact and steaming apple pie, exhaled, and regardless of the wet grass on the back of his head, he walked cautiously to the Iron Girl and put it aside.

"Aunt Susan's apple pie is Martin's and my favorite. Would you like to try it?"

The Iron Girl didn't move. Annan guessed that she was shy, so he took Maria out of the cell.

As for the prison door... there seemed to be no point in locking it. Those left in the Purification Court were executioners whose hands were stained with the blood of the Free Blade, so they didn't feel sorry for losing Annan.

After activating the cleaning technique to make the uniforms outside look brand new, Annan and Maria left the dungeon and got down to business.

Sheriff Milburn should have received the news, but he didn't expect Annan to actually attack him.

So when Annan led the people of the Purification Court to surround Sheriff Milburn's manor, the city guards had not arrived yet.

Sheriff Milburn arrived late, only to see the outside surrounded by nearby residents. His family members were being held captive, property was piled up like a mountain nearby, and there were several victims who had just escaped from the dungeon of the manor.

"Master Olmey, I have never offended you." Sheriff Milburn's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it.

"Bar, do you know anything?" Annan glanced at the festering victims. "The king's cousin, the Marquis, has never offended me, but he is imprisoned in the Purification Court dungeon, ready to be hanged."

"you……"

"Milburn Brito!"

Annan's cold breath made Sheriff Milburn choke.

"I am arresting you for colluding with the Free Blade, corruption, setting up a private dungeon, and imprisoning people from the Kingdom!"

"...Free Blade? I don't have it!"

Annan knew that he would make excuses, so he calmly pushed Buster out.

"Do you still know him?"

The moment he saw him, Sheriff Milburn's face turned pale.

"This Freeblade has confessed to accepting your bribe... What else do you have to say?"

"I was... undercover."

"Undercover?" Annan looked at Buster.

"Sir, he is lying to you! He gave us a bag of gold coins and asked us to develop in Hot Street!"

Buster blamed Sheriff Milburn for what Annan had done.

Sheriff Milburn stopped quibbling, because he knew that it was no longer important to prove his innocence, and Young Master Olmey just wanted to kill him...

"Why!?" He stared at Annan with anger and confusion.

"Because I am an official of the kingdom, anyone who betrays the kingdom will be brought to justice!"

I don't know who started clapping first, but applause and cheers gradually spread around.
