Although it is a bit shabby, this heroic spirit is super strong

Chapter 70 The Hero's Broken Companion (I)

*

Early in the morning, Maren sat on the platform in front of the town hall, looking at the bloody square with a smile.

Although it didn't take long for the guards to take action, the crazy believers fled like birds and beasts.

But the chaos still caused hundreds of deaths, and no one counted the number of injured.

"Lord Maren, we have found Moira."

Two soldiers came to Maren carrying a corpse.

"This guy is really ridiculous and disgusting. Please carry him away quickly."

Maren looked at Moira's face, which was bruised from being trampled on, and waved her hand in disgust to drive the soldiers away.

"Maren, what's going on?!"

"Ah, Vida. I've already dealt with those troublesome guys. You don't need to take action."

Maren looked at Vida, who was a little shocked, and smiled sarcastically.

"What have you done? Where's Benny, the one I sent yesterday?!"

Vida looked at the soldiers who were dejectedly cleaning up the bloodstains in the square and questioned Maren angrily.

Their plan, just as Akatsuki had expected, was accomplished in the worst possible way.

"Ah, so that annoying guy was called Benny. I killed him."

"Are you kidding me? He's a close official of the Earl's family!"

"What can be done about the Earl's close retainers? Even if those who disobey military orders are killed, there won't be any problem, right?"

Vida was a little dumbfounded by the idiotic woman in front of him.

“First of all, you don’t have the command authority over Benny and the others.

The role I gave you was simply to stand by and monitor the situation as the Hero's messenger. Your role was merely a figurehead."

Vida tried to remain calm and make his words as clear as possible to Maren.

"What do you mean? You mean I'm only fit to be a symbol?!"

Maren stood up and angrily grabbed Vida's collar, yelling at her angrily.

"In fact, you haven't even done the symbol well, have you?!"

"you…"

"Now, how do you think the people of Warhol and the citizens of the Empire will evaluate Master Xiaohao?!"

"What do you mean? They are all cultists and rebels! What did I do wrong?!"

"Cultists? Rebels?"

Vida slapped Maren's hand away and slapped her hard.

"You, you dare to hit me?!"

Vida looked at Maren and lost control of himself.

“First of all, the Imperial Inquisition and the Santetes Inquisition have not yet issued a verdict, so the Heavenly Tree Cult is still considered a legal religion in the Empire.

If you call the Tianshu Sect a cult, you might be accused of slander and cause trouble for Master Xiaohao."

"you…"

Maren was about to retort when Vida slapped her in the face again.

"Secondly, you have no right to conclude that those people launched a rebellion. Neither do I, nor even Lord Xiaohao."

"W-what did you say!"

"Is this the only weak rebuttal you can offer? I really overestimated you. Now, because of you, a rift has arisen between Lord Xiaohao and the Count Warhol family."

"You, what nonsense are you talking about..."

"Don't you understand how the world will judge you, Master Xiaohao? You've abused your title of hero, exceeded your authority, and even plotted against the earldom.

You are bringing shame to Master Xiaohao!"

"me…"

Maren was speechless after being scolded by Vida, and she lowered her head and fell into silence.

"Negan, I'm very sorry about what happened to Mr. Benny. Please find someone to take her to the dungeon."

Vida gave orders to Benny's former deputy behind him.

"What? What are you going to do? What do you mean by taking me to the dungeon?!"

Maren kicked away several soldiers who were close to her and questioned Vida.

"Isn't the meaning simple? You've made an irreparable mistake, so you must accept severe punishment."

"What right do you have to punish me?! I'm a veteran, and I'm the one who has always been by Master Xiaohao's side!"

"It is for this reason that I have imprisoned you in the dungeon to await Master Xiaohao's judgment.

If it were anyone else, I would have dragged her to the central square and executed her to appease the public anger!"

"You, you mean..."

Maren pushed Vida down and rode on top of her.

“Although that’s not what I meant to say.

But besides your long experience and good looks, do you have anything else to offer?"

Vida, who was being strangled, showed no fear at all and calmly questioned Maren.

"You guy, if it weren't for you!"

"Woo! Even if you kill me~ huh!"

Maren was suddenly kicked away, which made Vida feel relieved.

"Are you okay, Vida?"

Nakamura gently helped Vida up and glared fiercely at Maren who was struggling to get up.

"No, thank you, Master Hyoho."

"Master Xiaohao, I, I..."

Looking at Xiaohao's cold eyes, Maren stood alone and started crying.

It's a pity that no one wants to try to care about this lovely girl.

In the minds of these soldiers, what happened last night is still vivid in their minds, and it may become a sin that they will blame themselves for the rest of their lives.

"Vida, what should we do with this troublesome woman?"

"I'm very sorry, but I don't have any particularly good solutions right now."

"Is that so..."

Nakamura had no intention of blaming Vida, which almost made Maren collapse.

She had hoped that Nakamura would at least blame Vida for this, but...

Maren realized in despair that not only Vida, but even her beloved Nakamura did not take her seriously at all.

"One more thing. If it is convenient for Master Xiaohao, please come with me to the Earl's mansion."

Vida lowered his body and asked nervously.

"It's okay. I'm not angry. Tell me the reason."

Nakamura's calm response made Vida feel a little relieved.

“Benny, whom I sent to command the guards yesterday, was killed by Maren.

Although Benny is just an ordinary soldier, his family has been loyal to the Marquis of Warhol for generations.

His father was a close minister of Count Warhol and had considerable influence in the Count's family.

And his brother is Nathan, the current garrison captain of Pierre-Eyre.

If we create discord with the Earl's family at this point, it will have a significant impact on our future endeavors."

"I understand. Now prepare the carriage and the gift of apology."

When talking about gifts, Nakamura looked at Maren.

The girl trembled with fear, but soon stood there in a daze as if she had accepted her fate.

“Master Xiaohao, please wait a moment.

Giving Maren's head as a gift could cause trouble within our own ranks.

After all, Maren was the first person to follow you. If you kill her arbitrarily, it will cause panic among others."

"This girl is such a hassle. If I had known, I wouldn't have brought her into the adventurer team."

Nakamura deliberately spoke loudly so that Maren, who was not far away, could hear it clearly.

Nakamura felt a little disappointed when he saw that Maren had no reaction.

"You two take her to the dungeon and come back for Vida to deal with her."

"Yes."

Maren was held up by two soldiers, her eyes dull and without any reaction.

"If there really is a hell after death, I will definitely be the kind of person who goes to hell."

Looking at the dried blood on the ground, Vida showed a very sad expression.

She clearly knew that things might turn out like this, but she didn't raise any objections to Xiao's plan.

"Don't worry, it's not your fault."

Nakamura didn't understand the real meaning of what Vida wanted to express, but just put his hand on her shoulder to comfort her.

"Thank you."

"Okay, I'm going to get ready to go out now, you can arrange the relevant matters."

"I understand. I'm so sorry."

Nakamura waved his hand and returned to the city hall.

"Will he go to hell? If so, then it doesn't matter if he goes to hell..."

(Anyway, there's no hope for me to go to heaven and be with my sister and that idiot...)

Vida looked at the sky and smiled sadly.

"Miss Maren, you look so miserable."

Although he said so, Isaac was also very surprised by the changes in the girl in front of him.

In just less than half a day, Maren seemed to have lost noticeably more weight.

The originally delicate skin has lost its luster and turned a sickly grayish white.

The woman who had always been in front of him was now dressed up and placed in front of him. Isaac was confident that he would not react at all.

"Did you come here just to laugh at me?"

Looking at Maren's empty eyes, Isaac didn't feel any emotional fluctuation in her.

"Ah, I thought you were a strong person, but I didn't expect you to break down so easily."

"Is it broken... hehe... hehe..."

Isaac looked at Maren's current state and was a little confused about whether to continue talking to her.

Originally, he wanted to obtain Maren's power to complete his plan.
