I'm really not a Sanctuary Warlock.

Anna remained silent for a moment.

"You decide this yourself," she said softly. "Whatever choice you make, I will support you."

Lynn turned to look at her.

Anna's face was expressionless, but Lynn could tell that she was telling the truth.

Just then, Lisa, who had been standing to the side trying to make herself inconspicuous, suddenly spoke up.

"I...I support you too."

Lynn paused for a moment, then laughed.

"Understood, my dear lords."

Chapter 123 The Chaotic Obelisk

The air froze the moment those words were spoken.

Lisa's pretty face, which had just regained its normal color, suddenly turned bright red again.

Her dark eyes glared at Lynn, filled with shame and anger.

"You're just a lowly servant! No... don't get too cocky!"

Lisa gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands, as if only in this way could she give herself some confidence.

But in her mind, the hot breath in the tent last night, the kiss that made her weak all over, and the large hand that roamed over her body all surged up uncontrollably.

How could this guy make such a casual joke like that!

Even Anna, who is usually calm, had a faint blush on her cheeks.

She turned her head away, seemingly trying to cover herself with her hair, but the faint curve of her lips betrayed her inner turmoil.

Lynn took their reactions to heart and felt inexplicably better.

He did it on purpose.

Watching the usually aloof and cold disciplinary nun bristle like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, and seeing the holy and noble saintess reveal a girlish shyness, this feeling was much more interesting than killing a few monsters.

"Haha."

Lynn laughed loudly, breaking the somewhat ambiguous atmosphere.

"Since both of you have agreed, let's not delay and set off now."

He stood up and dusted himself off.

"While the night is still deep, I will take you to meet the people of 'Burning Fire'."

"Now?" Lisa was somewhat surprised.

“Of course.” Lynn nodded matter-of-factly. “Holy Song City is a powder keg right now. Every minute that’s wasted increases the danger.”

"We need a base in the city, we need allies, and we need the latest intelligence."

Anna also stood up; she had regained her usual composure.

“Lynn is right, we can’t stay outside the city forever.”

She looked at Lynn, her eyes asking, "Is the route safe?"

"Don't worry, I checked it out when I came back. Apart from being a bit dirty, there's nothing dangerous about that road."

As Lynn spoke, he put his black invisibility cloak back on.

"I'll go ahead and wait for you at the wellhead. Just follow me."

After he finished speaking, his figure slowly faded into the air until he disappeared completely.

Lisa stared at the spot where Lynn had disappeared, her heart still pounding.

Anna walked over to her and gently patted her shoulder.

"Let's go, Lisa."

……

Entering the sewers again was something Lynn was already quite familiar with.

But for Anna and Lisa, this was a first.

The dark, damp air, mixed with the putrid smell of soil and unknown substances, hit me.

Lisa's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. As a disciplinary nun with a slight obsession with cleanliness, this environment made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

But she glanced at Anna walking ahead, said nothing, and silently followed.

Anna, on the other hand, appeared quite calm. For her, the environment did not matter as long as she could achieve her goal.

Lynn walked at the front, skillfully navigating the side streets based on her memory.

Soon, they heard a commotion of voices coming from ahead.

As the three turned a corner and appeared at the refugees' shelter, Sain, who was on patrol, immediately spotted them.

"It's you."

When Sain saw Lynn, he was initially delighted, but when he noticed Anna and Lisa behind Lynn, a nervous expression appeared on his face.

"They are..."

“My companion,” Lynn explained simply.

"Nora is waiting for you inside." Sain stepped aside and gestured for her to enter.

Lynn nodded and led Anna and Lisa deeper into the passage.

The surrounding refugees cast curious glances at them.

They whispered among themselves, speculating about the identities of the two beautiful women who had suddenly appeared.

When Lynn knocked on the heavy wooden door again, Nora's voice came from inside very quickly.

"Come in."

The door opened, revealing the same messy room and the red-haired woman buried in her books.

Nora looked up, and when she saw Anna following behind Lynn, her hand holding the quill stopped in mid-air.

The room was very quiet.

Nora's gaze swept over Lynn, landed on Lisa, and finally settled firmly on Anna.

As a scholar, Nora's perception far surpasses that of ordinary people.

In her perception, the silver-haired woman behind Lynn was like a drawn sword, sharp, cold, and full of deadly power, only her level was somewhat low.

And that blonde woman...

Nora couldn't find the right words to describe it.

If Lisa is the sword, then Anna is the sun.

No, it is a being that is purer and more vast than the sun.

It was a kind of holiness and majesty that could not be described in words. The boundless power of holy light flowed quietly within her body, yet it contained terrifying energy that was enough to purify all evil in the world.

This feeling...

Nora had only seen it on the saintess of the Holy Song City.

Nora's heart was in turmoil, but her face remained impassive.

She put down her pen, stood up, and took the initiative to greet him.

"Welcome, friends from afar."

A genuine smile appeared on her face, and her previous wariness vanished without a trace.

“I am Nora, the leader of the fire.”

“Anna.”

"Lisa."

Anna and Lisa also simply gave their names.

“I’m so glad you’ve joined us.” Nora’s joy was palpable. “With your help, we have a much better chance of overthrowing the Order’s rule.”

She looked at Anna and exclaimed sincerely, "Madam, the holy light emanating from you is the purest I have ever seen."

Anna simply nodded, without explaining her identity.

She doesn't like to expose herself, especially when the situation is unclear.

Nora wisely refrained from asking further questions. Instead, she led the three of them aside and pointed to a few relatively clean chairs.

"Please have a seat, let's talk about our plans."

Nora's enthusiasm and honesty made Lynn like her even more.

She is a smart woman; she knows when to do what.

Faced with absolute strength, any probing or scheming is superfluous; showing the utmost sincerity is the best choice.

After a brief discussion, Nora stood up.

"The most important thing now is to have a safe place to stay. We can't let you guys stay outside indefinitely."

She had a hint of apology on her face.

"However, the underground space is limited and the conditions are very basic, so we'll have to make do with this."

“It’s alright,” Anna said. “As long as there’s a place to stay.”

"Alright, I'll take you there."

Nora led the way herself, guiding the three through the crowd and onto a side path deeper into the shelter.

The passageways there were even narrower, and some simple room signs hung on the walls.

Nora stopped in front of two of the doors.

"This is the room we reserved beforehand. It's been empty and is fairly clean."

She pushed open one of the doors. "There are two beds inside, which can be used by the two ladies to rest."

Then she pushed open the door next door.

"This room is smaller, with only one bed."

Nora looked at Lynn, her meaning clear.

Lynn didn't care; he was a grown man, so it didn't matter where he slept.

Just then, Nora's expression suddenly turned serious.

As if remembering something important, she turned to the three of them and said:

"By the way, there's something I must remind you of."

"The cult erected a huge obelisk in the square in the center of the city, and executed civilians in front of it every day."

"According to our latest intelligence, that obelisk appears to be more than just part of an altar; it's continuously draining the life force from the entire city, and..."

Nora paused, her voice filled with deep worry.

"It spreads a kind of spiritual pollution to the surrounding area. Everyone who gets close to the square will have their sanity quickly eroded and become crazy and bloodthirsty."

"We had a few scouts who just took a glimpse from afar, and when they came back they went completely insane, attacking each other, and in the end they could only..."

Nora didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear.

She looked at Lynn with a serious expression.

"Therefore, until a way to deal with that obelisk is found, do not go near the central square under any circumstances."
