Retired God King becomes Witch Idol Manager

Yet this group of madmen who spread chaos and promoted hegemony have strangely not joined any camp, and their stance seems as unpredictable as their fanatical beliefs.

The fact that Duke Destruction's second daughter gained the favor of the Lord of Chaos, while his eldest daughter was promoted to Archer Envoy of the Sanctuary of Stars, is of course extremely complicated for the human race.

No one, noble or commoner alike, has forgotten what the Holy Alliance did to the Joestar family...

The Throne of Chaos is gaining more and more influence in the mortal realm, while the Holy Alliance, having lost its alignment with the Light and Law, is in grave danger, and the glory of the Septim goddesses is no longer convincing.

At first glance, the loyalty of Leiri and Mistress Miaoye seems beyond question, but this feeling of being manipulated makes Nolan particularly uncomfortable.

What exactly do you want to do?

The silver-haired girl murmured to herself, gazing out the window at the top of the Septium Cathedral.

boom!

Someone suddenly burst in from outside, stumbling and scrambling in.

The newcomer was dressed in tight leather armor, with fluffy blue hair, a mask covering half of his face, and a pair of bright blue eyes that were panicked and tense. He was holding a bloodstained weapon and looked terrifying, which startled the adventurers and staff.

"Shut up if you don't want to die!"

The person let out a low growl, the voice melodious; it was a woman. She looked around, then rushed to the bar and pressed the blade against the neck of the stunned silver-haired girl.

"Don't move. You should know the consequences of not cooperating."

The woman's threat was accompanied by coughing, and her heavy breathing carried a strong smell of blood, suggesting she had suffered a serious injury.

Nolan blinked, lost in thought. The opponent's powerful spiritual circuits and elemental imprints were clearly visible to the true god of the present world.

Why are the Seven Luminaries Apostles fleeing in this holy city?

The time, the place, the people—every aspect is wonderful.

Nolan remained silent, watching as the woman ripped off her filthy cloak and wrapped it around herself. She then grabbed a bottle of strong liquor from the bar and poured it over herself, concealing her aura and spiritual fluctuations, and pretending to be drunk as she collapsed onto the table.

After doing all this, the woman hugged Nolan tightly, hiding the blade under her cloak. Her posture was intimate, but her cold eyes were fixed on her, as if issuing a warning.

The bar patrons looked strange and dared not utter a sound. Soon, they heard frequent footsteps outside.

Dozens of guards followed closely behind the woman, including the Seven Stars Papacy Knights clad in armor, exuding a murderous aura.

Have you seen a masked woman?

The adventurers looked at each other, shook their heads, and pretended not to hear. After all, helping wouldn't bring any rewards, but might even cause them a lot of trouble.

In the blink of an eye, the Dawn Tavern was surrounded by Papal Knights. The lead guard was about to shout when an impatient voice came from behind, and the Papal Knights quickly made way for him.

"Get out of my way!"

As the sun shone in, a little winged girl flew in. She was petite, delicate, and adorable, yet her haughty demeanor and arrogant tone revealed her noble status. Her imposing armor and pure white wings proclaimed her high status.

【Azure Arrow】Saint Victoria!

The guests at Dawn Tavern were filled with suspicion and uncertainty. The appearance of a Holy War Maiden in Outer Flame City made everyone extremely nervous. They suddenly felt that they had been caught up in a terrible crisis and regretted coming here.

"Your Holiness, the secret tracking signal disappears here."

"Ah."

Victoria flapped her wings, turned to look at the people in the tavern, and smiled, "Are you sure... you didn't see an injured woman? You know, I hate being lied to the most!"

Nolan curled his lip, somewhat surprised to see this treacherous little liar again. Curtis and Li Qingqiu kept their promise and did not expose the Demon King's spy, so it seemed that the Holy Alliance was no longer in the mood to launch an attack on the Abyss.

Victoria sneered, folded her wings, and slowly landed on the ground. She drew back the string of her exquisite longbow, aimed, and condensed an arrow of light, which swept across each person in turn.

Nolan could sense the woman beside him trembling slightly, extremely nervous, and ready to retaliate at any moment.

Victoria shook her head, her aim darting around, finally settling on the two daring guys who hadn't stood up.

The strong smell of alcohol disgusted the Winged Clan Saintess. She covered her nose, resisted the urge to shoot the drunkard, and stepped back a little. Soon, she was drawn to another silver-haired figure.

At this moment, Nolan slowly turned around, his lifeless red eyes giving Victoria a faint glance.

726. The Escaped Saintess

Victoria felt a chill run down her spine, her heart pounded, and she bit her lip hard.

"Um... let's go!"

"Uh, Your Majesty?"

"I said let's go! Don't you understand!?"

Victoria took a deep breath, her hand holding the bow trembling slightly. Suppressing her panic, she turned and left, no longer displaying her previous arrogance.

The Guardian Knights hesitated for a moment, but dared not disobey the Holy War Maiden's orders, and quickly withdrew. The guards on the street also stopped lingering.

The tense adventurers breathed a sigh of relief, their faces full of questions. They glanced cautiously at the strange woman on the bar and made the wisest choice, because those who are too curious often don't live long.

Leaving the Dawn Tavern, the fleeing Battle Maiden Cangya leaped into the sky, her tightly clenched fingers betraying her intense fear; she only wanted to fly as far away as possible.

She recognized Nolan with just one glance.

That night's abyss was a nightmare Victoria would never forget. Even Serantia couldn't stop the Chaos Knight from being a human girl, and from returning to the Holy Alliance once again.

"Damn it, she's been gone for so long, how did she come back? Could it be...?"

Invincible has an ambiguous relationship with the Demon King and is closely involved with various forces. From any perspective, he doesn't seem like someone who came to help.

From the perspective of a saint, the corrupt Holy Alliance was already terminally ill, and the cunning little liar had thus found a way out in advance. Now, the volatile situation has only strengthened her resolve to submit to the abyss.

The most terrifying thing is that the witch who wreaks havoc on the world and walks with chaos may become the last straw that breaks the back of the fragile human race.

Victoria shuddered, not daring to think too much, let alone tell anyone, for fear of offending that person. She could only put aside the task of capturing the "traitor" for the time being.

Nolan withdrew his gaze, unintentionally helping the mysterious woman out of a predicament, but the woman who was tightly holding him had already fallen into a coma, and blood was constantly seeping out of her inner clothes.

"Ugh."

Nolan sighed and reached out her fingers to push the blade away, but the woman's arms clung to her like steel.

There was nothing he could do; everyone else had run away. The beautiful goddess king could only accept his bad luck and carried the woman away from the bar and kitchen of Dawn Tavern.

I can't stay here anymore, where should I go?

Nolan's intuition told her that this guy was no ordinary person and might be crucial to the Holy Alliance in its period of change. After a moment's hesitation, she had no choice but to seek help from an old friend.

The city of Lieyang has now sealed off its ring road, and even the slightest disturbance will attract patrols, especially from unfamiliar faces. It is nearly impossible for them to penetrate into the inner flame city or even the inner flame palace where the powerful reside.

However, this was a trivial matter and didn't warrant Nolan using her powers. She still remembered the secret passage of the winery under the Blue Shield King's name; the dozing owner immediately perked up upon seeing the token.

The Azure Lilac helped Nolan navigate the underground passage, from where he could reach the Blue Shield Palace and see that adorable little prince again.

The unconscious woman in his arms murmured softly and indistinctly the whole way, but her hand was tightly gripping a weapon hanging around Nolan's neck, making her look like a battle-hardened saint.

She probably never dreamed that after all the hardships she had endured to escape the inner city, she would be taken back by this little girl.

It was from the Blue Shield servant who led the way that Nolan learned that the Crimson Lotus King and His Highness the Holy Son were not in Avalon at the time. One had gone to the Free Federation to negotiate, and the other was leading the Seven Luminaries Holy Army to fight in the Polar Snowfield. The road to change was fraught with difficulties.

The round table conference at Platinum Palace has become a mere formality, devoid of any authority, and the human race has split into two factions.

The old nobles were unwilling to relinquish their power and supported the Azure King. Most of the former subordinates of the Yellow Rock King and members of the royal family also submitted to him, making their power not to be underestimated.

The Crimson Lotus King and the Blue Shield King lost some of their noble allies, and even with the help of His Highness the Holy Son, they were unable to fully gain the trust of the citizens. Considering the future, they prioritized dealing with foreign invasion.

The fact that both sides fought independently greatly dispersed the Holy Legion's strength, which was the fundamental reason why the polar day snowfield became stronger and stronger as the battle progressed.

Among them, the position of the Sandalwood King is the most special. He controls the energy of the Magic Crystal Tower and the Trident Merchant Guild in Avalon and has never needed to do anything according to anyone's wishes.

The old madman who is still obsessed with Tess will only trade with others and will not help unconditionally. The remaining Duke Cherry Orange and Duke Garuda are ambiguous in their attitudes. Everyone knows that they will only side with the winner and will not easily take sides.

This was not unexpected for Nolan, but she wasn't there to cause trouble. The answer might be near, it might be far, or it might not be here at all.

Blue candlelight flickered in the dimly lit room, and a faint fragrance drifted in on the night breeze, soothing the soul.

The blue-haired woman's eyelids twitched, and she stared blankly at the unfamiliar ceiling before waking up with a start.

"what!"

Sariel found herself lying on a luxurious bed. She abruptly threw off the duvet, her naked body causing her face to flush slightly. She jumped up instantly, looking around warily with embarrassment and anger, trying to assess her situation.

It took me a lot of effort to break free from you.

A soft voice suddenly came from the darkness. Sariel narrowed his eyes and growled, his spirit condensing into an icy blue flame, only to find that the girl sitting in the chair was the one he had coerced in the tavern.

"It's you!"

The blue-haired woman frowned in surprise and asked, "Where is this? And who are you?"

Nolan touched his nose, crossed his legs, and sat in the corner. His red eyes were particularly striking in the darkness, and his exceptionally sweet face and dazzling silver hair stunned Sariel, who was also a woman.

"I should be the one asking you that question. You disturbed someone's lunch without permission, almost getting me arrested by the Vatican. Is this how you repay me?"

"I'm sorry, but if there was no other way... I didn't want to hurt anyone."

The woman blushed, remembering the carefully treated wounds on her body. She lowered her guard slightly, realizing she had successfully fooled Victoria. At least the other party wasn't from the Holy See or the Azure King's faction; otherwise, she would have been imprisoned in the Inquisition.

“I… am Sariel, so I advise you to leave here as soon as possible. It’s best for you to know nothing.”

The woman spoke frankly, as if the name itself was enough to explain everything.

Nolan waited a moment, then shrugged and said, "That's it?"

Sariel was stunned, then chuckled, "You...don't recognize me?"

Should I get to know you?

Nolan shook his head. Suddenly, someone pushed open the door and said in a childish voice, "She is the Fourth Saint War Maiden, a traitor who colluded with the Polar Snowfield. She has the blood of northern barbarians flowing through her veins and is wanted by the Holy See."

The one who came in was none other than the young prince of Blue Shield. It had been a long time since I had seen You Li. He had grown taller and become much more composed. His youthful face had become even more handsome. He paid no attention to the traitor he was talking about. Instead, he looked at Nolan with excitement.

727. The Young Queen Has Grown Up

The woman on the bed was like a frightened bird, extremely nervous. Upon noticing the third person, she grabbed the nightlight on the counter as a weapon.

But when Sariel saw the face of the frail noble boy, he was pleasantly surprised and released the lampstand, exclaiming excitedly, "Lord Youli!"

Sariel no longer has a foothold in Avalon, and the city of Blazing Sun is fraught with danger. Even the sisters who fight side by side may not be trustworthy.

After all, this wasn't the first time the noble and beautiful Holy War Maiden had fallen from grace. No one wanted to become the second Fenrir, thrown into the arena and reduced to a plaything for the powerful and wealthy.
