Baron Cullen

Karen was somewhat surprised.

He had never crossed paths with this rumored powerful figure.

Even though many stories about him have been circulating in the city during this time, it's unlikely to attract his attention.

After all, he is currently only a second-tier warrior and a first-tier mage.

Karen hesitated for a moment, then decided to ask, "May I be so bold as to inquire, what brings the leader of the Order Keepers to see me?"

"What else could it be?" A rare hint of helplessness appeared on Brett's usually expressionless face. "Of course, it's because we see your potential and want to invite you to join us!"

After saying that, he didn't give Karen a chance to ask any more questions and immediately went over and forcibly pulled her away.

...

A moment later, Karen followed Bright out the door in the latter's carriage.

They drove through many streets of the City of No Breath, heading north, and soon came to a street that was neither narrow nor wide.

Luofeng Street.

A stand-alone gray stone building stands here.

This building has no obvious features compared to the surrounding buildings, but its overall style is cold and solemn.

The walls are made of large, uncarved gray stones, covered with dark vines, and fitted with narrow windows.

The carriage soon stopped at the main entrance of the building, and the two of them got out.

Karen looked closely and discovered that this building, which represented one of the forces in the City of No Breath, didn't even have a doorman outside.

It should be noted that whether it is the city lord's mansion, the church, the warband, or the mage association, without exception, they all have dedicated personnel on duty at the main gate.

This is not simply for formalism; more often, it is to guide visitors to their destination in the shortest possible time when they come to visit.

"That's how the Order Keepers are, nothing to be surprised about." Bright seemed to have seen through Karen's thoughts, and waved from the front. "Come on, stick close to me."

Karen followed Bright through the heavy, black iron gate.

The door didn't lead directly to the hall, but rather to a wide, slightly sloping passageway.

The walls on both sides of the passage were inlaid with some kind of crystal that emitted a slightly cold light. The air was cool and dry, and as the door behind us closed, it instantly shut out the noise of the street.

He didn't speak, he just followed silently.

Only at the end of the passage did we see a spacious hall with a high ceiling.

Karen had expected the place to be very dark, but to her surprise, there were torches standing at intervals throughout the hall, and a huge chandelier hanging from the dome.

The bright candlelight illuminated the interior of the building, which was almost completely dark, making it easy to read books.

At that moment, Karen saw some people dressed in various styles of clothing hurrying by, as if something very urgent had happened.

Aside from the uniform Order Keeper badges they wore on their chests, they had almost no other decorations.

Although they were in a hurry, upon seeing Bright, they immediately showed a look of respect and said, "Deputy Chief!"

Blythe nodded and smiled, "No need to be so formal. I've already said, we're all brothers here. You guys get back to work."

Upon hearing this, the Order Keepers also noticed Karen behind the deputy leader.

Although they were somewhat curious about the young man's identity, they seemed to be quite busy, so they went back to work in twos and threes.

As Karen passed by those people, she vaguely heard a hushed conversation:

"A corpse was found in the sewers of the East District. An investigation revealed that the body bore traces of a curse."

"This mission might encounter evil spirits, so we need to request more demon-hunting arrows from the church."

He tilted his head slightly to observe and found that the members of the Order Keepers were checking the various weapons they carried.

An enchanted crossbow, a longsword engraved with intricate runes, and a crystal bottle containing an unknown liquid.

It was only then that he suddenly realized that the members of this force were not of a single extraordinary profession, but rather a collection of almost all professions except for divine servants.

Even the wizard class, which is even rarer than the assassin class, has a few of them.

While divine servants are also one of the five extraordinary professions, they possess certain unique characteristics due to the requirement of wholeheartedly believing in and serving the God of Light.

Karen remained a silent observer; an extremely efficient atmosphere permeated the entire Order Keeper's Hall.

Rather than a secret agency that deals with extraordinary matters, it is more like an outpost that is always on standby for war.

At this moment, Bright led Karen through the hall to a wooden door.

There were no signs on the door, and if you didn't look closely, you might even think it was a warehouse used for storing items.

However, Karen's heart skipped a beat!

As he approached the door, he suddenly sensed a slightly familiar yet extremely terrifying aura!

He felt he had sensed this aura somewhere before.

"Go in, the boss is waiting for you inside." Bright smiled, his expression casual. "Don't feel pressured. You may have heard some rumors about the boss in the city."

Such as the strongest person in the City of No Breath, the only sixth-order transcendent being, and so on.

However, fundamentally, the boss is someone who cares deeply about his subordinates.

"I understand, thank you very much." Karen bowed slightly, then took a deep breath and knocked on the wooden door in front of her.

"Enter."

A cool, clear voice came from behind the wooden door.

Karen pushed the door open and entered, then immediately turned around and closed the wooden door.

However, when he turned around again, his previously calm expression instantly revealed a look of shock!

The room, which wasn't very spacious, was simply furnished. Besides a desk and a chair, there were several bookshelves against one wall, filled with documents and reports.

What shocked him was the figure sitting behind the desk.

She was a young woman with short, silver-white hair, who looked to be in her early twenties, but she gave off a heroic and spirited vibe.

And this woman was none other than the woman he had seen in the office of Donald Bennett, the president of the Mage Association!

Karen felt as if a raging storm was brewing in her heart!

He clearly remembered that the last time he saw this young woman, even though her aura was extremely restrained, she still gave him a feeling of being unable to breathe.

Unexpectedly, this young woman was actually the leader of the Order Keepers branch in the City of No Breath!

The legendary strongest person in the city, the only sixth-order transcendent being, is actually such a young woman!

After a brief moment of shock, Karen quickly forced herself to calm down.

He then maintained aristocratic manners and walked directly to the desk, bowing slightly to the young woman, saying, "Hello, I am Karen Waller. It is an honor to meet you, esteemed leader of the Order..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear: he wanted to tentatively ask the young woman in front of him her name.

The young woman was also looking at him, her gaze filled with a hint of inquiry, before a faint smile appeared on her face:

"Fiona Iren Noel, that's my name."
