Chapter 55 -55 Do Not Question God_1
Using the “Heddon Family” as a guarantor was no trivial matter.
In the old butler’s view, this “Colin” was shrouded in mystery, using unknown methods from a non-majority church, possibly a member of some dangerous secret organization.
Yet she did not hesitate to vouch for him in the name of “family,” which could lead to serious consequences for Miss Helena if the family pursued accountability.
Clearly, it was all because of the Saintess Her Highness.
Perhaps, the formerly proud and cold Miss Helena, indifferent to everything, had really been trained by the Saintess Her Highness into obedient submission…
For her, she had fallen into danger several times, nearly losing her life.
Alas.
The old butler sighed quietly, hoping only that once he returned to the family, he could report the situation to the City Lord who might be able to resolve it.
And now, as a butler, all he could do was to obey.
On the other side, Colin, oblivious to these thoughts, was constantly pondering his next move, crafting his plan for the upcoming challenge.
The living room fell quiet for a moment.
It wasn’t until ten or so minutes later that footsteps could be heard from the street, and Warden Calder, accompanied by a dozen people, came upstairs.
“Miss Helena, one thousand seven hundred and sixty defenders of Black Stone City are willing to follow your commands,” said Warden Calder.
Hearing these people declare their loyalty, Colin on the other side began to arrange—
It wasn’t so much an arrangement.
It was to ambush a group of people outside the “Holy Healing Church,” then they would come up with an excuse to enter inside the “Holy Healing Church” to see if they would be allowed through.
The rest of the soldiers would head to the City Lord’s residence in Black Stone City, where they could retreat to the small castle of the City Lord’s family if things didn’t go well with the Holy Healing Church incident.
“What about the ordinary people?” Helena opened mouth to ask, noticing that ordinary people did not seem to be included in Colin’s arrangements.
“The disaster will not erupt too intensely at the first moment. At that point, we can try to save as many people as possible, exactly how many is just a matter of doing our best.”
Colin replied, had it not been for the demands of saving people, he had even entertained the idea of letting a majority perish in a fire to tackle the problem at its root.
Because doing so would fundamentally prevent the outbreak of “Beast Transformation Syndrome.”
By this time, he had learned that in this world, during The Night, even those Virtue Knights or Bishops, if exposed outdoors without any light or fire for too long, would die immediately.
No one knew what would happen the moment darkness enveloped them…
Because almost everyone who tried ended up dead, leaving nothing behind but bloodstains.
However, putting that idea aside, perhaps catching a couple of Holy Healing Priests later to figure out how Beast Transformation Syndrome actually spreads could also solve the problem…
Shaking his head, Colin reined in the surging thoughts in his heart, then stood up and went out the door with Helena and the others.
At that moment, downstairs, a dozen people were ready, holding lanterns and swords at their waists.
Without further communication, under the escort of their guards, Colin and Helena headed towards the largest “Great Cathedral of Holy Healing” in Black Stone City.
Fifteen minutes later, Colin saw the cathedral, which seemed somewhat similar to a “Church of Light” cathedral but decorated largely in red, with a symbol of a praying person holding a cup in their hands.
Outside the church, Colin saw five or six unusually tall figures robed in white with silver masks and bearing huge iron swords measuring one meter seventy-eight in length.
Beneath their cult robes, the iron boots of their lower limbs faintly suggested that they were armed to the teeth.
From these few, Colin felt a very strong sense of threat.
“What on earth do these people eat to grow so strong?” Colin mumbled to himself, grateful for the moment that they merely seemed to be extremely robust.
All muscle.
A single bullet would suffice to disable half their combat effectiveness.
And this time, he did not come alone….
With just one cannon strike, Calder would lead at least five hundred soldiers to charge forth.
However, more oppressive than these people to Colin’s heart was the invisible presence within the church that made him feel suppressed.
This suppression originated from the “Beast Transformation Syndrome” within him, from something even higher in rank.
At this moment, as soon as Colin and his companions arrived, a church cleric, also dressed in white cult robes and a pure silver mask, slender in build, stepped forward.
“Who are you?”
The old butler stepped up, “I am of the Heddon Family, and this lady is Helena Heddon, the third daughter of the Heddon Family. We have urgent matters that require an audience with Archbishop Laurenson, please go and inform him immediately.”
“The Heddon Family?”
Father Alenna, who originally intended to send the visitors away, was taken aback. He had not expected an offspring of such important stature to appear here, akin to a country farmer meeting a royal minister.
After a few seconds of shock, just as he began to doubt, he saw the other party present a badge depicting a centaur…
The spiritual imprint on it made him feel as if he were standing before a towering beast holding a black scythe, surrounded by an endless aura of death.
It was a massive fog formed from the congregation of countless departed souls…
A mythological centaur creature who was said to have fought alongside the King of Knights, carving out a kingdom upon this dark land!
Beneath its feet were the bones of countless dead, a testament to its exploits.
While Father Alenna was lost in the vision for a moment, a ray of Purification Light emerged on his body, and all the illusions disappeared…
Only then did he snap back from the shock of the momentary glance.
It’s true!
Damn it!
Why would the offspring of such an influential figure appear in this place?
Father Alenna roared.

“I…”
Under normal circumstances, Father Alenna would find it difficult to refuse the request of such an important person’s offspring, but now, the Archbishop’s ritual was ongoing and could not be disturbed!
“I apologize for the offense, but Archbishop Laurenson is dealing with important matters and cannot meet with you.”
With great determination in his voice, Father Alenna spoke, gesturing with his hand as he did so.
Behind him, several towering Sanctuary Punishers reached for the large swords on their backs, and at that moment, the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.
“Are you sure you want to refuse my request? Are you questioning my identity?”
Helena’s icy voice rang out, “Is that how I should interpret this? You are questioning my identity! Questioning the authenticity of this badge?”
“No, I wouldn’t dare question the legitimacy of your identity, but right now, Archbishop Laurenson is devising a way to solve the key issue of the Beast Transformation Syndrome, and it cannot be disrupted.”
Father Alenna’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, and at that moment, he did not use any excuses to claim the badge was fake or such.
Because even if he killed Helena, there probably wouldn’t be a problem, but questioning the authenticity of that badge was almost equivalent to questioning the mythological creature itself.
It was a strong act of blasphemy that really could trigger something to happen…
You must not question God!
Even if it is just a Sub-God.
Meanwhile, Colin was about to give the signal for the “Axemen” to summon five hundred soldiers, but a sudden disturbance occurred.
A scream suddenly emanated from within the church.
