Chapter 1027 Return
"Okay, now that I've finished expressing my feelings, it's time to get down to business."
In the portrait exhibition room, after a brief sigh of emotion, Dorothy finally began the necessary work after every battle, cleaning the battlefield.
Just as Dorothy was about to take action, she heard footsteps in the dark corridor beside her. Dorothy looked over there and saw a familiar figure.
"Miss Dorothea, are you okay? I heard a loud noise over here just now. What happened?"
Holding a sword in her hand, Vanya ran towards this side breathlessly. The loud noise that shattered the glass of the entire villa just now directly frightened her so much that she sat down on the ground. Then after hesitating for a while, she ran towards the location of the sound with the sword in hand. Because the effect of the Kama Sutra had worn off, she was running breathlessly all the way.
"Ah, it's Sister Vanya. It's nothing. It's just the noise caused by the battle. Don't worry about it." Dorothy said bluntly as she looked at Vanya who was running over. Vanya, who had just run in front of Dorothy, couldn't help but complain in her heart after hearing what she said.
"You're really concerned, okay? Normally, battles don't make this much noise."
Although she thought so, since she saw that Dorothy was fine, Vanya felt relieved and didn't ask any more questions. After all, if the other party said not to care, it meant that she didn't want to say it clearly.
"Well, you mentioned fighting. Did you also encounter an attack? Miss Dorothy..." Vanya continued to ask Dorothy with a hint of worry, and Dorothy nodded in response.
"Well... I met the guy who survived the bullet you shot him with, but he's dead now." Dorothy said as she looked at Luer lying in a pool of broken bricks and blood in the room. Vanya turned her eyes away and was stunned when she saw the scene in front of her.
"This... this is the cult leader! The one who can transform into a beast! This seems to be a black-level Beyonder! One level higher than me and the one I fought before... Is he dead already? "
Vanya thought with horror that, judging from his previous performance in the chapel, the guy in front of her seemed to be the leader of this small cult, much stronger than the average apprentice, at least a black-level existence, and yet this girl who was younger than her actually killed him all by herself!
While thinking, Vanya looked around, at the consecutive broken walls, and couldn't help swallowing.
“Did you… do all of this, Miss Dorothea? Excuse me, but… what level of Beyonder are you?”
"Didn't I say this before? I am still an apprentice like you. I was able to defeat this guy largely because his mimicry in the dream world was destroyed, and his mental weakness and disorder reduced his ability. I was able to defeat such a strong enemy, in fact, thanks to the protection of that person... Praise my Lord..." Covering her chest, Dorothy said in the tone of Vanya's prayer, attributing all her special powers to her own protection. Vanya couldn't help but panic after hearing this, and then she didn't dare to disrespect God and followed her to pray.
"Ah... Praise be to the Lord... Praise be to the Lord..."
"Well, we shouldn't stay here for long. People from the Security Bureau and the church may come over at any time. Let's finish our business and leave." Dorothy said with a smile as she looked at Vanya who was praying with them. Vanya raised her head in confusion.
"Business?"
"It means harvesting war spoils."
As she spoke, Dorothy came to Luer's body and began to loot. Because of her passive ability of identification, Dorothy easily searched most of Luer's things.
There were three extraordinary items, a ruby cane on the waist, a black candle, and a copper bracelet. Then there were a few talismans, a few spiritual storage objects, and some money.
After stripping Luer of most of his clothes, Dorothy packed her things and walked out of the room under Vanya's somewhat stunned gaze.
"Um... where do you want to go?"
"Of course, let's continue. There's more to come. By the way, where did the guy you killed die?"
"This...is over there in the hallway I came from."
"Okay, let's make it quick and get it over with."
As she spoke, Dorothy activated the corpse puppet ring and manipulated several corpses in the house to help her collect the loot.
With the help of several zombies, Dorothy finally searched the villa and got a lot of things, including two secret books, a considerable amount of money and talismans.
Because it was too dark, Dorothy did not search many places too carefully. Logically, there should be a secret room in this house, which contained more good things, but Dorothy did not have time to look for it.
This is because Viscount Field has been exposed, and the Security Bureau will definitely find this place after resting. In order to avoid being blocked again, Dorothy does not have much time to waste.
Finally, Dorothy and Vanya checked on the children in the chapel. After checking, Vanya found that they were all fainted due to the interruption of the ceremony. They all breathed a sigh of relief. Then Dorothy controlled the corpse puppets to carry them all to a room and asked them to wait there for the Security Bureau to come.
In the dimly lit chapel, Vanya watched the rescued children being carried to other rooms, and couldn't help but think with emotion.
'Did these children finally get saved because of our intervention? Did the evil pagan finally get punished... No matter what the true intention of that one was, his followers were definitely doing the work of saving people...'
Then, Vanya looked at the stained glass window of the Virgin Mary painted with a bloody wolf head and defiled in the moonlight, and could not help but continue thinking.
'My dear Holy Mother, although I worship a foreign god and deserve to be judged as apostate, I am able to redeem and save people. You taught me in the scriptures that actions speak louder than words. If you saw my situation, I'm sure you would understand.'
Vanya thought like this, her mentality was very simple. Although I...seem...maybe...I believe in other gods, but I still do good things. Since you, the Virgin Mary, teach that actions speak louder than words, you must be able to forgive my apostasy...
Just like that, after patching up her psychology, Vanya's psychological pressure of being born under the worship of a foreign god was much less. Ever since she received divine revelation, she had been a little nervous and timid in the church on weekdays.
After settling the children, Dorothy and Vanya got back into their carriage, carrying a bag of things. Dorothy asked the coachman, Edwin, to hang up the lights, and then drove the carriage back home.
Dorothy sneaked into the Field mansion carefully when she came, and when she left, only the children were left dead.
"Huh... Anyway, the matter of the Holy Communion has finally come to an end. Let's hurry back to the city."
Dorothy, finally feeling relaxed, sat in the carriage and steered it out of the gate and into the darkness of the woods.
