Chapter 321 Explosion and Fire

Malu noticed an explosion in the direction of the Witch's House and did not stay in the shoemaker's shop any longer. He immediately went downstairs.

But when he went out, he found that Goethe was still following him closely.

"The questioning is over. You have nothing to do here anymore." Malu turned around and said.

"But I still want to stay by your side and help you." said the female intelligence dealer with a humble attitude.

Malu was a little surprised, but he soon guessed what Goethe was planning. He originally wanted to drive her away directly, but then changed his mind.

Now the main road in front of them was blocked by the crowd participating in the celebration. It was unknown how long it would take to walk from here to the Witch's House. Malu was not familiar with the Temple City, so he went along with it.

"I need to go to the witch's house. Do you know how to get there faster?"

"Of course, you have found the right person," Goethe said with a sigh of relief. "I will show you the way right away."

The female intelligence dealer did not lie. With her in front, although they took a longer detour, they moved much faster.

However, Malu still complained that Goethe walked too slowly, so he simply carried her in his hands and asked her to show the way.

The two also passed an explosion site along the way. The battle there had ended, and the witch who caused the explosion was shot dead by the knights and police who arrived.

Her body was almost riddled with bullets, and her features were no longer recognizable. In addition to herself, the explosion also caused casualties among hundreds of civilians. Corpses were scattered everywhere, and the wounded were wailing in the ruins.

Goethe had lived in the Temple City for twenty-nine years, but this was the first time he had seen such a scene.

Although she often complained about the church's tyranny and its almost pathological pursuit of order, when this order was broken and chaos came, she was as confused as most people in the city and was deeply wrapped in a sense of fear.

Malu quickened his pace again, while also keeping an eye on the movements of the Knights.

After being promoted to Grand Master and serving as a high-ranking member of the Knights Templar, he now has command authority and can view some transfer orders and receive combat briefings.

Judging from the briefing, Levi's counterattack was timely. With the addition of dozens of knights, the fallen witches who had sneaked into the city were either killed or escaped before the knights arrived.

The chaotic situation in the city was quickly brought under control. The police maintained order, and medical and fire teams rushed to the scene to rescue the wounded and control the fire.

Millipede also came to the outside of the witch's house at this time. A battle had also taken place here not long ago. The iron gate was broken and half of the iron gate was completely melted by the high temperature.

Through the gate that no longer existed, Malu also saw a collapsed small building and a fire that was still burning.

A cordon was also set up here, and there were two knights guarding the door, but after seeing the millipede, they immediately stepped forward and saluted.

"Grandmaster."

Malu put Goethe aside and asked, "What's the situation inside?"

One of the knights immediately reported, "About a quarter of an hour ago, a fallen witch launched an attack here, and some witches inside took the opportunity to betray us. However, after being resisted by other witches, they quickly retreated and blew up the auditorium before leaving."

"Oh, and what about the casualties?"

"All 12 guards of the Witch House were killed in the first round of conflict. The three maids who tried to stop them from leaving were also killed by them. In addition, the explosion in the auditorium also killed three witches."

Malu remained calm upon hearing this, "Did witches betray you? Have you found out who they are?" "The list of traitors is still being compiled. Once it is completed, the church will use the Ring of Order to execute them directly." said another knight.

Malu nodded and walked towards the door.

The two knights looked at each other but did not stop them.

Malu now finds that the title of master is quite useful and can save him a lot of trouble.

He walked into the witch's house in such a swagger, a place that normally no knights could enter except the maids and witches inside.

He didn't meet many people along the way until he arrived at the ruins where the explosion occurred. Then more people came and everyone was busy putting out the fire.

Although there are many magic professions among the witches, their weapons are usually locked, and they cannot cast spells at this moment. They can only use the most primitive means to put out the fire like ordinary people.

Malu also saw Skylark in the crowd. The latter was carrying a small bucket and running very fast with his short legs. He went to the bathroom not far away to fetch water and then ran back.

Malu stopped her and asked, "Is everyone else okay?"

It would have been better if I hadn't asked. When Yun Que heard Malu's voice, she burst into tears and cried, "Wow, Wow, Ah She is buried down there!"

She pointed to the pile of rubble that was still on fire.

Malu showed no sadness when he heard this. He knew Ouroboros' identity and remembered what the girl said to him the last time they went out. He knew that this was probably Ouroboros' way of not getting them into trouble.

Faking death? That's one way.

Malu did not join the fire-fighting team. Instead, he pulled Yunque aside and asked her about the whereabouts of the other two people.

He was relieved to learn that both the Hellhound and the Bird of Paradise were safe and sound in the attack.

After that, Malu was not in a hurry to leave. The situation in the city was still unclear. The Witch Alliance launched so many attacks in one go, and no one knew where their next target would be. On the contrary, the Witch House had been blown up by them once, so it was actually safer.

Malu planned to stay here for a while to see what developed next and at least figure out what those fallen witches were trying to do.

They are now wreaking havoc and setting off fireworks all over the city, but in the final analysis it is still a terrorist attack. Not only can it not shake the church, but it will further deepen ordinary people's resentment towards witches.

Fortunately, this answer did not bother Malu for too long, and he soon received another message. This time it was sent by the Paladin Order, requiring the knights in the southwest area to rush to Renxin Square immediately to protect the Pope.

A large number of fallen witches suddenly emerged there, numbering more than forty people. It was the largest group of fallen witches so far.

Among them was the traitor who had escaped from the Witch's House not long ago, and if nothing unexpected happened, the Ouroboros who had faked his death was also among them.

Is that so?

The previous series of attacks in the city were only intended to disperse the forces of the Paladins and create opportunities for real action. This move by the Witch Alliance was indeed a smart one.

However, Malu noticed that the previous series of transfer orders were all for ordinary knights, while Levi and his confidants were quiet and did not make any movement.
