Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 671: Change Owners

Vera replied, but there was a commotion in the crowd. Two Crusader knights were escorting a Blood Wolf over. The knight threw the blood wolf to the ground and reported to Vera, "Miss, we've got a criminal. He's willing to confess, but with some conditions."

Vera stepped forward and whispered, "As long as you tell the truth, the Lord will forgive you. I can give you your freedom, so tell me, what is your name?"

"Lacey, noble miss." The Blood Wolf raised its head. This knight was still very young, around twenty years old. His face was stained with blood, and one side of his cheek was already swollen from being beaten up.

"Alright, Mr. Lacy. I see that you are also a knight, so I think you know better than I do what the knight follows."

"Yes." The young Blood Wolf shouted, "Loyalty and honor are the rules and beliefs that run through a knight's life!"

"Very well, then tell me, Sir Knight, what are you doing here tonight?"

Lacey hesitated and looked up at Lanza uneasily. The latter said gloomily, "Be careful of your words."

Vera raised her head. "Are you threatening him? Threatening this knight, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that he will tell the truth?"

Lan Zha snorted and stopped talking. Vera then looked at Lacey and said, "You see, that man is clearly not worthy of your loyalty. I can foresee that even if you don't say anything, he will make you disappear."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lan Zha said angrily.

"If I'm spouting nonsense, why are you so angry? Is it because I said something important?" Vera's gaze fell on Lanza's right hand, which was retracted under his loose sleeve. "Why hide your hand? Is there a gun there?"

Lanza's expression changed and he couldn't hide anything. An exquisite flame slid out of his sleeve. The gun pointed at the Blood Wolf on the ground and pressed down the trigger. DeVera reminded the two silver knights to watch Lanza's movements and see if he could lift the fire. The guns had already joined hands to set up a barrier of Origin Energy. The Blood Wolf Knight on the ground could clearly see a bullet struggling through the Origin Energy Barrier, but in the end, it fell in front of his eyes.

Without that Origin Energy Barrier, he might have already turned into a corpse. Hillay gritted his teeth and shouted, "They're going to rape a lady, miss. We're under orders to guard, only to follow orders!"

Lanza was furious, but a few Crusader Swordsmen stepped forward and had already handed over his flames and spears. Vera continued, "Oh, who are they? Is it convenient to tell everyone their names?"

The Blood Wolf Knight pointed at Lanza and shouted his name. Then he moved to Gills and said, "This is the Count. That's right, he is your Lord, the Count of Gills!"

Vera raised her hand and signaled for everyone to be quiet. Gills had been desperately trying to reveal his identity, but now he wished that no one would recognize him. Being pointed out by the Blood Wolf Knights in person, this was not a matter of glory. Looking at everyone's disdainful gazes, he couldn't help but shout, "Bullshit, I didn't do anything! This bastard is slandering me, slandering an Earl, I want to send him to the gallows!"

"I am the witness!" Suddenly, someone in the crowd said. Hearing this, Giles's expression changed drastically.

The crowd separated again, and Wilick, who was wearing his helmet again, escorted Zora to the arena. Everyone saw Ruola's clothes were untidy and her body was wrapped in sheets, revealing her smooth shoulders. They immediately understood what was going on. When he looked at Gills again, his gaze was no longer as simple as disdain, but disdain. "I'm not only a witness, I'm also a victim," Zora shouted. "This Earl Gills is planning to rape me, and he's my relative! I really don't know how my brother gave birth to a bastard like you!"

"I'm not! You're slandering, dirty … Oh, what are you doing!" Giles roared at Ruola in rage from embarrassment.

He suddenly felt a chill on his body, but his long robe was firmly stepped on by someone. Gills walked forward like this, causing his robe to slip off his body, revealing his thin body. Gills was trembling in the cold wind when the sight fell on the count's naked body, especially when he stepped down. The count finally roared, pulled back his robe and wrapped it around his body, and squeezed towards the crowd, "Get out of my way. If you don't get out of my way, I'll kill you all! Kill all of you!"

He had lost his rationality, and his dignity as an Earl had vanished completely. Looking at Gills' departing figure, Ruo La sighed softly.

Tonight's sacrament ended with Gills' furious cries, and as Vera had planned, the count was seen to be in a terrible state. This news would spread throughout Ark Harbor after tomorrow, and the public opinion would make Gills feel ashamed to death. It could be said that the Count would not take a single step out of White Castle for some time to come.

Returning to his residence in Ark Harbor, the courtyard was originally the property of a major merchant in the Emerald Pearl Trading Firm. After becoming a Christian, the merchant generously donated the estate to the church and became Vera's foothold in Ark Harbor. The property, which includes the main building, the auxiliary building, the square, the garden and the stables, is spacious enough to accommodate dozens of people.

Apart from Vera and the priest, as well as the servants and knights of the Crusaders, there were twenty to thirty people living in this courtyard. Tonight, there was another guest here. Of course, it was Zora, who was temporarily inconvenient to return to White Castle.

After hearing about the scandal on the banks of the Three Forks River, some of the heavy lifters in Ark Harbor didn't care about sleeping and rushed over to meet Vera overnight. Apart from seeking confirmation, he also wanted to probe the situation so that he could know what Ruo La planned to do next. After Vera sent them back, she saw Jorah in a relatively quiet room in the garden. Ruo La had already taken a shower and changed into new clothes. Apart from the fact that he looked tired, there was nothing unusual about him.

The antidote Baggins had concocted was already working. Ruo La's Origin Energy was once again overflowing, causing her face to turn red again, no longer as pale as before.

Seeing Vera, she sighed, "I can't believe such a terrible thing happened. Fortunately, you all arrived in time. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Just in time?" Vera shook her head and said, "Do you think there are so many coincidences in this world? Tonight's Holy Scripture was deliberately arranged by me, along the banks of the Three Forks River, and the same goes for the old Humble House. It's all based on the arrangements I made for the future I foresaw in Lanza when I last met him."

"You already saw it coming?" "Then why didn't you let me know?" Ruo La smiled bitterly.

"Will you believe it?" Vera asked.

Jorah sighed and nodded, "Indeed, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have known that Gills' mind would have been twisted to such an extent. By the way, you have to inform Alan Gills himself that he was the one who planned the last assassination attempt on Alan in Ark Harbor. I didn't expect that he wouldn't have listened to his brother's advice."

"This is unexpected news." Vera sat down and crossed her hands in her lap, "I will tell Sir Allen the truth. But what are you going to do with Ark Harbor in its present state? Will Gills remain the count?"

Ruo La's brows furrowed. "He just sat in this position, and now something like this has happened. If Gills continues to be this count, I'm afraid that people will divorce him." At that time, if someone as thoughtful as Earl Rackett intervened, Ark Harbor would have to hand it over to him. "This is the territory that my brother has fought for all his life. I can't let Gills die just like that."

"Looks like you're smarter than I thought. I thought I'd have to talk."

"It was tonight that allowed me to see things clearly and to know where my responsibility lies. Ever since my brother left, I have been depressed for several months. I can't continue like this." "I'll go back to the barracks tomorrow and take control of the army. Then I'll send a letter to the Marquis of Iron Spear. I need him to restrain Rick Vera. I need to see Edward again," Zora said.

"I will arrange that. But before meeting Edward, I think you need to talk to a few other people. They are businessmen, officials, officers in this city. More importantly, they are believers in our church. I think these people can help you a lot."

Ruo La looked at the girl in front of her for the first time and sighed, "I really underestimated you. No, I should say I underestimated the power of your church. Not long ago, your power had already reached this level."

"Don't worry, as long as you and Alan are on the same side, then our Church will definitely not be your enemy." Vera smiled.

"I hope so." Ruo La's eyes darkened as he said, "How long will it take for him to return?"

"Should be, soon?" This was the only thing Vera wasn't sure about. She stood up and said, "It's very late. You should rest early. I won't disturb you."

Refusing to let Jorah see her off, she left the room. The corridor was lit by a dim yellow candle. Under the candle light, the silver armor on William's body flowed with a streak of luster. He spread out his hands and said, "When will I not have to play the role of Dodd?"

"You can be William again. Actually, I agree with Edward's suggestion. We lack a commander in the Crusaders. William, you are the most suitable candidate." Vera raised her head and said.

She continued to walk forward, and Wilick, who was leaning against the wall, followed behind the girl. He turned around and said, "But I'd rather follow Young Master Allen."

'"It's all for his sake. You're the commander of the Crusaders, and Alan will probably agree. After all, this position requires someone he trusts. And you, I think Alan has enough trust in you."

"Let's wait for Young Master to return before we discuss this matter." '"Is Miss Jorah alright?" Welik looked behind him.

"She's stronger than I thought. Willie, I need you to personally go to Dawn Castle." Vera said, "The lord of Ark Harbor has to be changed. Tell Edward to be ready to act."

William nodded forcefully.
