The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Bang bang bang!"

The gate of the manor was beaten hard, and upon closer inspection, the iron fence was even dented inward.

The servant in charge of guarding the door heard the sound and muttered a few curse words. But when he saw that it was a group of Valkyries knocking on the door, he immediately pursed his lips sincerely and quickly removed the door lock.

As soon as he took off the lock, Eleanor kicked the door. The servant quickly dodged back, biting his lip, and seemed to be too angry to speak, but none of the Valkyries paid attention to it. On him, they equally ignored everything around them, focusing entirely on Eleanor's raised palm.

As the palm waved down, more than twenty Valkyries filed in. Together with more Valkyries outside, it only took one minute to completely control the entire manor and the entrances and exits of all buildings in the manor.

And what about Eleanor herself? She held the Black Abyss White Flower upside down, and the sharp spear tip dragged out a series of golden sparks on the stone bricks. She walked very slowly, as if she couldn't help it, but eventually she walked into the living room of the manor villa step by step.

"Karen?"

The entire living room seemed to have been cleared in advance, with only two Kaslanas sitting silently on the sofa facing the door——

Luca leaned back on the chair, drinking brandy one after another, while Karen sat upright, her hands simply tied with hemp rope, with no expression on her face, even if Eleanor called.

"Karen?"

Eleanor called out again in disbelief, and this time Karen seemed to hear her. She raised her head slightly, and her dull eyes swept across Eleanor's face.

"snort……"

All the turbid air that was supposed to be exhaled suddenly accumulated in her chest. Eleanor snorted twice in a row, but was unable to expel the air smoothly.

She suddenly hit her chest hard, making the muscles there numb, but it still didn't help.

She could only look at Kallen for help - yes, she was clearly the one who was ordered to capture Kallen. She was a hunter, but at this time she looked at her prey for help.

Kallen felt her burning eyes and raised her head to look at her.

Eleanor was quickly defeated. The eyes that were as beautiful as the sea and the sky that she was tired of looking at now no longer have the vitality they should have, and the lively, firm, or decisive look in the past is no longer there. exists again, but what was not there before is replaced by a depth as deep as the sea and the sky...

Eleanor was unable to look at her again, and she didn't dare to look at her again, for reasons she couldn't explain.

She could only turn her head and direct all her anger towards Luca Kaslana, who was still drinking:

"Haha, I never thought that there would be an uncle who betrayed his niece in this world!"

Luka's eyelids trembled and he retorted without showing any weakness:

"Captain Eleanor, is your mission to arrest Kallen or to arrest me?"

"none of your business!"

Eleanor held the black abyss white flower tightly, and her slightly flat chest suddenly swelled due to her rapid breathing.

"Of course I'm here to take her away, but that doesn't stop me from despising you, Luka Kaslana!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

Luca raised the corners of his mouth, shook his head nonchalantly, and said in a tone that Eleanor hated most:

"You young people are like this. We act impulsively and never care about the consequences. It would be fine if we had no worries, but... Eleanor, don't forget, you represent the Shaniyat family, and Kallen represents It is the Kaslana family. Your glory comes from the family. Of course, you are also responsible for the entire family. If your personal behavior conflicts with the family, then it is no wonder that the family is against you..."

"hehe."

Eleanor twitched her lips with a smile, and replied with only two words:

"Scum!"

Luka looked disdainful, but actually shook his head bitterly, and then said:

"Okay, Captain Eleanor, please complete your mission. But I have one more thing to explain - I will go to Klosten with you. After all, the Kaslana family actually appeared under my leadership. For such a major issue, I still need to personally apologize to the bishop."

Eleanor's cheeks and her small nose trembled and twisted. She stood there and took a deep breath for half a minute, and then spat on Luka's face without any warning.

Luka's expression remained unchanged. He rolled up his sleeves, wiped the saliva off his face bit by bit, and then suddenly spoke:

"Captain Eleanor, don't your hands feel uncomfortable?"

Eleanor's left hand, which was hanging by her side and making gestures, quickly clenched into a fist, and she turned to glare at Karen. She had just been using the sign language of the Valkyrie troops to convey the deployment status of the Valkyrie troops to Kallen, and signaled her to escape - although Kallen's hands were tied with rope, no one really believed that this ordinary hemp rope could Shall we restrain the so-called most powerful Valkyrie?

Of course Karen also saw Eleanor's gesture. She made it so obvious. Of course, with Eleanor's character, even if she tried to cover it up, it was just an attempt to conceal it.

Seeing Eleanor's eyes glaring at her, Karen just raised her head again and gave a sad smile in return.

"Crack——"

Eleanor made a soft sound between her molars, and she said nothing more. She knew that Karen had made up her mind and she could no longer convince her.

No, maybe it's not that he has made up his mind, but that he has fallen into inescapable despair and has completely lost his way.

That's right, not to mention this woman's already annoying excessive sense of justice. It's hard not to despair when her most trusted family member betrays her.

But there was still a chance, Eleanor's fists unclenched and clenched.

To be precise, there is still time - after she brings Kallen back to Destiny, it will take a relatively long period of time to judge her crimes.

Destiny is like this. He always likes to engage in some sanctimonious scenes, but this is also Kallen's opportunity. As long as he convinces her to escape during this period of time... Anyway, the area that Destiny can control is limited. At the worst, he will escape to China. No matter what, She always survives.

As long as you survive, there is hope for everything, right? Old thing... Bishop Nicholas's health is getting worse and worse, and he probably doesn't have a few more years to live.

Naturally, Eleanor would not take Nicholas's words about letting Otto succeed the bishop seriously like ordinary people, but what does it matter even if the old man finally chose Marcel and Fabian?

The Valkyrie troops are under her control. As long as she asks Otto to raise her arms...well, the Valkyrie may not listen to her at all...

But it doesn't matter, the future is promising, good times are yet to come, and there must be a way to reach the mountain... What matters is that Kallen can survive, that's all.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

She said pretending to be relaxed, and then reached out to help Kallen, but the latter stood up before she could.

"Let's go."

Karen said the same thing, but there was no wave in her voice.

She slowly raised her right foot, taking a step forward, then raised her left foot and took a step forward. The joints of her whole body seemed to be frozen, and her movements were stiff and slow. After taking about ten steps forward, I finally returned to normal.

If she hadn't clearly seen that her ankles were empty, Eleanor would have suspected that she was shackled.

"Let's go, Captain Eleanor, what are you waiting for? You don't want the sinner who publicly slandered the destiny to escape halfway, do you? I would like to state in advance that if such a thing happens, it has nothing to do with my Kaslana family. , all responsibility lies with you, Shaniyat.”

"laugh!"

Eleanor's expression became even more contemptuous. She didn't waste any more words. She just picked up the Black Abyss White Flower and followed Kallen out.

When the Valkyries saw their target, their former captain, appear, they regrouped according to the previous plan. Hundreds of Valkyries formed a huge hollow square array with three layers inside and three outside, surrounding Kallen in the center.

"Tsk!"

Eleanor glanced at her mouth and said sarcastically:

"Look, Kallen, after all you are also their former captain, the most powerful Valkyrie, but this happened... They didn't say anything."

Kallen walked forward with her head lowered, not answering, and there was no need to answer.

Eleanor twisted her mouth and bit the corner of her mouth hard with her tiger teeth. She regretted it as soon as she blurted out that sentence. This was due to her long-term habit of getting along with Kallen. It seemed that she couldn't feel energetic without a gun and a stick in her mouth.

But she really didn't mean it sarcastically, she was just...a little sad.

To be honest, Karen is a very good person. She is powerful, has a great sense of justice, and is very gentle to her comrades and subordinates. Even if Eleanor realizes that she doesn't like her, she can only choose "no" "Cooking" is a problem.

But as she said, none of her comrades and subordinates, including the Valkyries, including Eleanor herself, liked a warrior who was so powerful, had such a sense of justice, and was so gentle in private... But none of them liked her very much... Not very supportive of Karen.

You can't say you don't like it. Whether you like it or not is everyone's inner thought. But at least at this time, everyone knew that Karen had not committed any heinous crime, but no one was willing to take risks for her—including Eleanor herself.

It was true that she wanted Kallen to survive, but the most she could do was secretly help her escape. After all, although she despised Luca, she had to admit that some of what he said was right. She also had two younger sisters behind her. There is also the Shaniyat family, she cannot be willful.

As for the rest of the Valkyries, Eleanor played a trick during the gathering and selected many carefree Valkyries to carry out this mission. They usually received a lot of care from Kallen, and even many of them Karen's life was saved, but no one stood up and did anything at this moment...

Of course, Eleanor was not qualified to accuse these Valkyries, so she just felt sad.

Perhaps, it's because Kallen's reason for publicly blaming Destiny is too far away for the Valkyrie. Needless to say, the Valkyries themselves do not need to buy indulgences, and the family members of the Valkyries do not need to buy indulgences, because indulgences are the church's incentives before the Eastern Expedition - any soldier who is willing to participate in the Eastern Expedition, himself and Family members can get indulgences issued by the church, so there is no need to buy them anymore.

Therefore, these Valkyries may privately applaud Kallen's bold move, but if they want to go further, they somewhat lack the motivation.

And... maybe there's another reason.

People are indeed afraid of darkness, so compared to the night, human beings always look forward to the arrival of daytime, when the holy sunshine will disperse all filth.

But if the sun is too dazzling and hot, people will complain in turn.

That's the case with Karen.

She has too much sense of justice. Even though her family is a noble, and the indulgence issue has nothing to do with her, she still has to meddle in her own business. This will only make the people around her feel ashamed, and then...then become alienated, even a little bit. Hate.

And this is not her own problem. To be precise, it is the same for the entire Kaslana family. Luca is a special case.

Because of this, Eleanor only felt even more embarrassed. She knew very well that if there was anything wrong with Karen, it was that she was too naive and too kind. But is it wrong to be naive? The maturity that ordinary people think of is just a process of selfishness. Once mature, kindness will disappear.

Eleanor didn't understand, if Karen was not wrong, what was wrong? Is it this world?

But if the world is wrong, why does the world exist?

If it's Kallen who's wrong, then just let her correct it, but what if it's the world that's wrong, almost everyone except her, then what should we do?

As she thought about it, her own heart became confused again.

She quickly stopped and grabbed her hair. When she raised her head again, she saw that the Valkyries around her had also stopped. Many of them were using their peripheral vision or turning their heads to look at her. Only Ka Lian stood upright half a step in front of her, lowering her head slightly, but standing upright.

There was an unexplained gaze behind her, which made Eleanor feel uncomfortable all over. It was Luca who was following him, but Eleanor didn't even bother to look back at him, even though he was also her elder.

"Ahem!"

She made a fist with her left hand, put it under her lips, and cleared her throat. There were so many thoughts in her heart that she couldn't express, but now there was no one to talk to. She could only turn her face cold again and waved her hand as if nothing happened. Then the whole team started moving forward again.

Because they were being escorted, the entire team moved very slowly. It originally only took half an hour to arrive quickly, but when they returned to Klosten, it was the annoying dusk again.

Klosten is an expanded city based on an old castle. The streets are extremely narrow, and it is naturally impossible for a team of hundreds of Valkyries to pass through the city. Of course, the Valkyries had already planned for this. As soon as they passed the suspension bridge at the foot of the southernmost mountain, the Valkyries disappeared without a trace at Eleanor's "disperse", leaving only four Valkyries at the front, back, left and right. Location, more people are hidden in wider streets and rooftops, secretly monitoring the prisoners' every move.

If the prisoner saw the Valkyrie disappearing and thought he could take the opportunity to escape, he would be totally wrong.

But for Kallen, who had been the captain of the Valkyrie force and had carried out countless arrests and escort missions, she naturally understood all this, but she never wanted to escape from the beginning to the end. Escaped.

"boom!"

Hearing the sound of the door being kicked open, Karen seemed to recall something and raised her head involuntarily. Although the Valkyries formed a human wall, she could still see clearly because most of the steps were arranged in front of Klosten's house. Everything that happened in front of me——

The knight is fully clothed, and the huge shoulder armor is like the wings of an angel. Under the reflection of the sunset, the silver armor reflects the rays of light, adding a bit of holiness.

But angels are not necessarily just, they may also be cruel angels.

They knocked on a door in this extremely polite way, but that was not the end. The two knights rushed into the house, dragged a man and a woman out, stepped on their knees, and made them kneel down. door.

The male owner of the room wanted to shout something, but was punched in the face by a knight wearing a metal gauntlet. The man fell to the side, opened his mouth, and three or four bloody teeth rolled out of his mouth. The woman let out a cry. She screamed in despair and frantically tried to pounce on her husband, but the knight deliberately grabbed her collar. She struggled forward desperately, but the inferior fabric could not withstand the force and tore apart bit by bit. Open it up, exposing the thin ribs under the collarbone.

Of course, there was nothing erotic about it, but the knight holding her still reached out and squeezed her unconsciously, and then reacted belatedly - he was wearing a metal gauntlet and couldn't feel anything. So he simply grabbed the woman's hair and enjoyed the woman's increasingly painful screams.

Then, the trembling salesman stood up holding a stack of crumpled indulgences. Apparently he was so frightened by the knights' rough behavior that he forgot all the words he had prepared and stood there. , stammering and hesitating, unable to say a complete sentence for a while.

"waste!"

The knight seemed to be divided into a team of three to perform the task. As the team leader, the knight became impatient and snatched the indulgence from the salesman's hand, grabbed his thin shoulder and pulled him back.

"Ouch!"

The salesman fell backwards and fell to the ground. However, he did not get up immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes tightly, his whole body was trembling, he made the sign of the cross on his chest with his hands, and prayed in a low voice. With.

Compared with the salesman's words, the knight was naturally straightforward. He walked up to the man and knelt down, holding a thick stack of indulgences, and patted the man's face gently:

"Indulgences, to buy or not to buy?"

"Pooh!"

A mouthful of blood spitted on the knight's face. However, the knight was wearing a barrel-shaped helmet, and the saliva only stayed on the outside of the helmet, and could not hurt the knight at all.

"I'll give you another chance. Your family is the only one in the whole street who hasn't bought any indulgences. You can either hand over the money today, or we can find another way."

"I have no money!"

"Ah, I knew it, but in order to save your soul, I suggest you buy an indulgence."

"I have no money!"

"Ah, I know, but money is dead and people are alive."

"What do you want to do!"

"PAPA! MAMA!"

A little girl of five or six years old suddenly rushed out of the room, but the knight leader seemed to have expected it. When the girl rushed in front of him with fists, he picked her up. The girl waved her fists and kicks, but she was hit by Xihui. The reflected plate armor would only make his hands and feet hurt.

"Wow--"

The man, woman, and child cried almost at the same time, and the knight leader held the little girl in one hand, rubbed his thumb with the other, and dropped an indulgence note in front of the man.

"Well, your sins have been atoned for."

"Beast!"

No matter how much the couple in front of them shouted, everything seemed to be of no avail.

"hateful!"

Karen exerted force suddenly, and the hemp ropes that bound her hands stretched to both sides. The fibers were stretched to the extreme and then broke into pieces, leaving only a few stubborn ones still resisting.

But her movements suddenly stopped - the hateful sound just now didn't seem to come from her.

"boom!"

The next moment, the Black Abyss White Flower hit the knight leader's head hard. The bucket helmet dented toward the center, and the person inside staggered two steps and fell heavily to the ground. As for the girl he was holding, she had appeared in Eleanor's arms at some point.

The other two knights didn't notice the presence of the Valkyrie until now, and looking at this weapon, it still...

"Is this how your commander teaches you to do things?"

"I...we..."

"Leave six Jingroshen for medical expenses. This stupid guy is fine. You can take him back to the military camp for treatment. In addition, I bought the family's indulgences for them..."

Eleanor suddenly thought of something and quickly added:

"Three, I bought all three people's indulgences for them!"

But she was here to perform a mission, so how could she bring money? She turned her head and looked at the other four Valkyries, but they were the same. The five of them searched all over and only found two Jingroshen.

"Let me do it."

A slightly hoarse voice sounded, and a jingling money bag was thrown at the knight's feet.

"This knight's medical expenses are also included."

Eleanor and Karen turned their heads at the same time, and saw Otto standing at the entrance of the alley nearby. Half of his body was covered with red light, as holy as an angel, while the other half was hidden in the shadows, blurry and chaotic.
