A strange world

Chapter 654 Chapter 51. The identity of “Warden”

In the early morning, Colette woke up from her dream.

"Lily, what's wrong with you?"

Colette, who woke up, gradually relaxed when she saw Rosella's concerned eyes.

"I dreamed of him again..."

"Your father?" Rosella looked at Colette and nodded gently, holding her shoulders to comfort her: "Uncle is an archbishop, he will be fine."

Colette said nothing, recalling the dream with a touch of warmth.

If only it wasn't a dream...

"I know a local fortune teller in Huadu. She should know about uncle's situation. Can we go over and give it a try?"

"good."

They first came to the mansion's restaurant to dine.

As the celebration approaches, Huadu begins to decorate the city with flowers. Rosella chattered while Colette stirred the hot soup with a silver spoon. At a certain moment, she raised her head.

Outside the window that reflected the cheek, a float loaded with bright blue flowers drove past the street.

…

Annan opened his eyes in front of the dusty room.

There is no sunshine, no cleanliness, no lively streets outside the window, the dusty room seems to have been abandoned by time, showing dust and decay.

There was a sudden sound outside the corridor. Annan turned around and saw that the sound was coming from the chapel.

Annan, who realized something, looked at the empty room, returned to the corridor, stood in front of the guardrail and looked down at the chapel on the first floor.

As if the church had just experienced a dazzling light, the entire chapel was gradually dimming. A dark silhouette knelt in front of the statue of the God of Order.

The whispers of Valencia died in the church with "The Warden".

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

"'My' last wish is not to her, but to pray to see my God..."

"It's really sad..."

A book fell out from the disappearing outline of the warden.

Annan returned to the chapel and picked up the body of the "Warden". It was a vague code... no surprise.

Is this supposed to be a "good" ending? Valencia on January 17 made her daughter happy, and the real Valencia finally saw the gods appear... although they were all false.

After calming down his emotions, Annan walked out of the church holding the code.

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

"The first thing is to acquit you."

Annan paused for a moment, then pointed at the hairless werewolf after the weirdos finished cheering: "And the second thing...take it down!"

The weirdos paused for a moment, then screamed and pounced on the hairless werewolf.

The artist depicts the hairless werewolf being strangled by a rope, its neck stretched as if suspended. The slug lying on the hairless werewolf's upper suddenly grew huge, wrapping around its legs. Candlehead and Crocodile Head grab the hairless werewolf's left and right arms respectively.

The remaining weird ones couldn't squeeze in, so they followed the slender dancing figure and danced in front of the hairless werewolf.

Annan dismissed the dancing weirdness and stared at the roaring and struggling hairless werewolf: "Hairless werewolf, you killed young children, tried to swallow slugs several times, and offended the warden... I pronounce the sentence as the deputy warden. You...are sentenced to death."

After speaking, he tilted his head slightly: "Sister, I leave the body of the hairless werewolf to you."

The charred girl crawled into the dungeon, and the hairless werewolf's roar grew louder and louder. Suddenly its body melted away like a candle, leaving only its roar echoing in the pre-dawn night sky.

Annan continued to pronounce the sentence after the burnt girl returned: "Then...it was a waste of time!"

"I'm innocent! I'm just taking revenge on the person who killed me!" screamed the victim who was caught in the same way.

"So his family, his neighbors, and his colleagues are also involved?" Annan's tone was sarcastic, "Are you seeking revenge, or are you venting because of the sudden power you gained?"

"I... of course I am seeking revenge!"

"But you tell it with only a smug tone."

Then he made the burnt girl eat the body of the dead man, and Annan successively announced two strange death sentences.

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

One of the weird ones screamed before it died, making the remaining weird ones uneasy. Annan told them: "If you have not made any mistakes, nothing will happen to you."

"Candle head..."

"I……"

The candle-headed flame that had been serving as a loyal guard was nearly extinguished. It wanted to resist, but the Burnt Girl was staring at it and it didn't dare to move.

"Although you killed the guards, because of self-defense... I am not qualified to forgive you on behalf of the guards, so I can only compensate their families for you. Can you accept it?"

Candlehead, who was about to cry, breathed a sigh of relief and knelt on the ground humbly, "Your kindness has never been seen before even in my lifetime..."

"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 burnt girl who had devoured several weirdos and became much stronger.

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

Annan looked around at the remaining twenty-eight weirdos.

"Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Annan, King of the North, Rat Bane, Rat Hunting Champion, Lord of the Floating City, Champion Warlock, Dungeon Warden, King of Hide and Seek, Weird Goodwill Messenger, Reeves. Erdian The warden will be familiar to you... He is the Archbishop of the Church of Order, Valencia."

The weirdos let out a burst of anthropomorphic exclamations.

"My city-state, Free City, is a city as magnificent as Lost City. There, elves, dwarves, orcs, ratmen, and demons live together freely and harmoniously. And now, you who have been cleansed of your sins are eligible to enter the Free City. , no longer need to hide in the dark like a rat in the gutter..."

Annan eliminated unstable factors and contained weirdness. But he couldn't bring so many weirdos to the royal city, so he arranged a final test.

Annan and the remaining weird people said: "You guys 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 out in the early morning. Without the suppression of the princess, the Lost City is gradually evolving into chaos. Fortunately, the burnt girl with enhanced strength can protect Annan and rush to the palace.

The nobles hiding here are thinner than a few days ago... but the fat nobles still look naive.

Annan glanced at the faces that appeared on the Queen's Council. Their glory at that time was in contrast to their abjection at this time.

"Move these things, I will send them to the princess now."

Facing the gazes of the nobles and the magic lights lighting up along the way, Annan arrived at the circular square.

"Sorry, it took me a little longer."

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 happily, finding him looking at her cheek, "What's wrong with my face?"

"I had a dream. I dreamed that I returned to Lost City three years ago and saw you."

"I hadn't become so ugly at that time..." The princess recalled a trace of her.

Annan shook his head.

"You are more beautiful now."
