Chapter 450: Protective Custody

~7 min read 1,226 words

Klein was also completely unprepared for the sudden outbreak of this war; after all, it was a war between three kingdoms, and the things involved were simply too numerous, so there should have been a period of easing.

But all of this was interrupted by his actions in the Southern Continent.

The Mother Goddess of Earth Church became even more radical due to the loss of the "Tears of the Beauty God," which directly led to the God of War Church, still preparing for war, being forced to start the "Holy War" ahead of schedule.

Coincidentally, the Castiya Family also kicked them while they were down, making a move against the Augustus Family.

Being caught in the middle, it was already impossible for Klein to avoid it.

"Participate in this war?" Audrey's breath hitched, but when she raised her eyes, the Mr. "World" before her had already disappeared.

"Mr. 'World' is rushing about for the war, you cannot slack off either, Audrey!" Audrey Hall cheered herself on, then took out the Magical Item "Lie."

This was a Magical Item crafted from a "Faceless" Characteristic, which could allow Audrey to complete the final piece of the John Constantine identity.

It was also on this day that the Saint John, carrying the mercy of Dream, returned to Backlund and set up a sanctuary in the name of the Dream Sect.

The Dream Sect had sufficient reputation and strength; even the Augustus Family dared not say anything.

And the current Klein had already returned to Saint Samuel Cathedral.

This place had completely changed its appearance; the believers who came to pray daily had become much fewer, and the priests of the Evernight Church all wore solemn expressions.

"Sir, you have finally returned." Klein happened to meet a Red Glove, who was a member of Leonard's team.

"Where is your Captain? Take me to see him." Klein nodded slightly.

Soon, he saw Leonard, who now completely lacked his previous casualness.

"Klein? It's good that you're back!" A pile of documents waiting to be processed was laid out in front of Leonard.

Seeing Klein was like seeing a savior; he hurriedly handed a document in his hand to Klein.

"What is it?" Klein blinked and looked at the document in his hand.

"Uh..." Klein's mouth twitched, feeling very surprised.

This was an order from the Holy See to deal with heretics.

"Emlyn White..." This was the heretic they needed to deal with, and he was also a priest of the Mother Goddess of Earth; this was really...

And from the perspective of the current situation, the Mother Goddess of Earth had already been characterized as an enemy, just like the God of War Church.

"Lock him up first; let's call it protective custody. As for how to deal with him, let's wait until the war ends..."

After all, he is Mr. "Moon"!

Klein and Leonard looked at each other and both saw the worry in the other's eyes; if the war really progressed to a certain extent, this Mr. "Moon" would be too dangerous.

"We can only handle it this way for now..." Leonard nodded helplessly.

"Let's go, come with me to make an arrest!" Leonard's gaze became firm; since the war began, his work had increased many times over, and his actions had become increasingly capable.

"I'll go too." Klein's Spirituality suddenly stirred, and he followed as well.

The Mother Goddess of Earth Church only had one cathedral in Backlund, small in scale, with no more than a few hundred believers.

"What do you want to do!?" Klein soon saw Mr. "Moon," who was wearing the robes of the Mother Goddess of Earth Church and was currently blocking the outside of the Mother Goddess of Earth Cathedral, preventing the Red Gloves from entering.

"Is his faith this firm?" Klein muttered silently; he remembered that Emlyn was very resistant to becoming a priest of the Mother Goddess of Earth. "How do you intend to deal with us?" Father Utravsky's tall figure stood behind Emlyn, looking calmly at the group of Red Gloves.

Their situation was extremely dire; they didn't even have a chance to fight to the death.

"Protective custody. Before the war ends, you may have to be under our supervision," Klein glanced at some of the believers inside the cathedral and said slowly.

"Very well, we have only one condition: do not make things difficult for the believers behind us." Father Utravsky actually agreed without hesitation, only proposing a condition that wasn't really a condition.

"Hm?" Klein and Leonard were both somewhat suspicious; although they held an absolute advantage, this surrender was too fast.

"We are here to spread the glory of life, not for war."

"This is a Divine Oracle," Father Utravsky said softly, directly putting down the greatsword in his hand.

"Hmph!" Emlyn White gave a soft snort, also tacitly accepting this explanation.

Of course, another reason was that he had already recognized Leonard and knew that this Mr. "Star" would not make things difficult for him.

"Good." Leonard waved his hand lightly, and the group of Red Gloves stepped forward in silence to take the two away.

Emlyn looked at Leonard as if he wanted to say something.

Klein sensed this very obvious intention and quietly reached out to quickly build a "local area network" between the three using Causality Threads.

"Do you have anything you want to say?" Leonard, receiving a signal from Klein, asked Emlyn.

"You!" Emlyn was startled by this voice ringing in his heart, but he quickly reacted.

"Hmph, I'm not really afraid of you; I have truly received a Divine Oracle from the Ancestor!" Emlyn held his head high, displaying the demeanor of a savior of the Blood Clan.

"A Divine Oracle?!" Klein and Leonard were both filled with suspicion.

"You don't believe me? I am the savior of the Blood Clan!" Emlyn saw the doubt on Leonard's face.

"Uh, should I believe you?" Leonard said helplessly, actually asking Klein, but Klein did not answer.

"Of course, otherwise why do you think I was chosen?" Emlyn felt very confident with the Ancestor backing him.

"Also, remember to send me some fresh blood every day; I am of the Blood Clan, unlike you humans." Emlyn made another request.

"I can pay you some compensation, but only after I get out of this..."

It was just that Klein remained "submerged," and Emlyn didn't even know of his existence; it was only after returning to Saint Samuel Cathedral that he disconnected the "local area network."

"Savior of the Blood Clan? Ancestor of the Blood Clan... Lilith?" As the "Fool," Klein did indeed know that there was something unusual about Emlyn.

Judging from the situation above the Grey Fog, he seemed to truly possess some kind of extremely high-level favor.

Regarding this kind of favor, Klein saw it very clearly; it was nothing more than an investment by a certain existence in him, or rather, in "Sefirah Castle," and the price paid was merely an Emlyn.

"But, Emlyn has already become a priest of the Mother Goddess of Earth, yet Lilith still favors him?"

"Is it because of the title 'Savior of the Blood Clan'? Judging from Emlyn's performance, this title does not seem to be fake."

Klein shook his head slowly, no longer thinking about this question that had no answer.
