The Crimson Lord

At the center of the court of justice was a grand square. In the center of the square was a five-meter-tall statue fountain of an old man standing with dignity, holding a book in his left hand and a scale in his right, which was the first Great Guardian.

The prototype of the book was the Silver Codex, and the prototype of the scale was the Scale of Balance.

The Scale of Balance had been lost; this was the big pie Linlin drew for the Gluttony Demon King.

A divine-level relic.

Huh? As for why she didn’t touch the Silver Codex…

Even if Linlin could really get her hands on it, the Gluttony Demon King wouldn’t dare to take it.

This was a divine gift, not something that a so-called relic could compare to.

The God of Order might not notice the destruction of Holderma, but He would notice the things He had given away.

Countless signs indicated that this god still existed.

Who would dare to snatch it?

Going back to the statue.

Water flowed from the center of the scale to both ends, and the water drawn up by the siphon flowed very evenly, according to the preset.

But there were always accidents; one side would have a bit more, and the scale would tilt slightly.

But after the tilt, the small mechanism inside would cause more water to flow to the other side, and then the scale would tilt back.

A very ingenious design, fully embodying the thinking of the first Great Guardian, balance.

After swaying, it would eventually return to balance.

Of course, this adjustment mechanism had a limit. Throw a large stone on it, and the scale would completely lose its balance.

Mavis understood this very well. Ask her how she knew?

She said, “If Linlin doesn’t believe it, I’ll demonstrate it to you.”

Mavis was eager to try, and Linlin quickly stopped her, “No need, no need, I believe you, darling.”

Mavis was a bit disappointed; this was clearly quite interesting, but it was a pity that Linlin couldn’t see it.

Linlin breathed a sigh of relief. Sometimes, rumors weren’t groundless; Mavis did like to do things that she thought were very interesting. Of course, this might be a prank to others.

“Linlin, how about we dismantle this statue and take it home? It’s not like anyone wants it here anyway.”

“Ah?”

“Okay, let’s do it.”

Facing the strange gazes of those around them, Linlin sighed helplessly and said, “Calm down, hey, this is a public facility, and destruction of public property is forbidden. It’s not like no one wants it…”

Mavis nodded and officially added the sentence “Destruction of public property is forbidden” to her Linlin-speak.

Thales, high up, watched Mavis, who was about to damage public property, from the window on the fourth floor.

Just as he was about to take action, he discovered that Mavis had been persuaded. He felt a little surprised.

In his impression, Mavis had always been a person who meant what she said; even if she was wrong, she thought she was right.

Four years ago, she even fought a huge battle with the Great Guardian to marry someone of unknown origin.

Ordinary people didn’t know about this, but the court of justice’s civil servants did, but they would only think that it was the Great Guardian thinking of family.

Only he and a few others knew.

At the time, the Great Guardian was very angry and didn’t hold back at all, but in the end, he lost.

Holding back a laugh.

Of course, this was without using the Silver Codex.

Thales understood Amir’s anger. Amir was the original name of the Great Guardian, but after becoming the Great Guardian, he never used his original name again.

Mavis was originally a candidate for the Great Guardian.

The Great Guardian was a role similar to the Saint or Saintess of other city-states, but of a higher status.

The god Falan Dun was very tolerant; He didn’t object to His believers worshipping normal gods.

But no matter how tolerant, He wouldn’t tolerate allowing a believer of the Love God to become the Saintess who communicated with Him.

Mavis married under the witness of the Love God, which meant she had cut off her own path, and it was forever impossible for her to become the next Great Guardian.

Even if she was the only descendant of the Kelling family, besides the Great Guardian, it wouldn’t work.

The Great Guardian was very angry because of this; it was equivalent to cutting off the inheritance of the Kelling family. The inheritance left from the first Great Guardian.

Thales was relatively tolerant, thinking that they might as well let Amir be the Great Guardian for some time, and wait for Mavis’s daughter to grow up, Amir wasn’t impatient.

Seemingly thinking of something, Thales’s face suddenly stiffened.

Before Alice and Snake escaped from prison, the court of justice had already drained everything they knew and, by following the clues, forced out the Senate member, forcing him to surrender.

The Senate didn’t know what methods they had used, but they made this Senate member implicate the Great Guardian.

It was already known that the original solution’s effect was to prolong life…

If Amir really couldn’t wait, then his anger towards Mavis at the time was understandable.

“Amir, could it be that this time, it’s true?” Thales’s face was ashen.

He had originally thought this was just another false accusation against the Great Guardian.

Just like the rumors about Mavis; this child was indeed a bit mischievous, but it wasn’t to that extent. Someone was clearly fueling the fire.

The black hand behind the scenes wasn’t hard to guess, it was the Senate, who had always been trying to weaken the Great Guardian’s power.

And now, Thales had to re-examine it. He felt a headache, “If only I could just blow up the Senate.”

He missed his days in the expeditionary force; back then, there weren’t so many twists and turns. No matter how cunning the demons were, they could be annihilated by thunder.

The current situation of being in a dilemma really wasn’t suitable for him.

If the Great Guardian was really colluding with demons, but the reason was just to prolong his life, then he could understand it, but understand as he might, he didn’t approve of trading with demons in this way.

“No, I need to see Amir; I must see him this time!”

Thales made up his mind, and with that, he instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning and flashed across the sky.

Every citizen who saw the lightning flashing across the sky would proudly raise their chest; look, this was the powerful court of justice’s head.

The lurking demons were trembling, fearing that they were discovered.

Xiao Lin was even more bewildered, “So this one was really here!”

And then there was relief, “Fortunately, he’s gone now.”

If Xiao Lin had acted a bit faster, there was a high probability that before she could say anything, she would have been elbowed to death by this one.

“So we have to hurry!” Linlin finished sketching the magic circle designed by Teacher Bertha and put in the energy-filled blood-red bead.

She specifically chose a remote, less-populated building, and at the same time ensured that the group of people in the big square could see the super-dominant blood-red giant she designed.

As long as it was the effect of that night, bluffing some divinity practitioners might not work, but it was more than enough for ordinary people.

“Come out! Crimson Storm!”

Xiao Lin immediately activated the magic circle, causing the blood-red bead to emit a strong light.

Blood qi filled the air, and a grimacing giant formed of blood qi slowly appeared. Its gaze could even look straight at Xiao Lin’s knees…

Wait? Knees?

Xiao Lin stared at the miniature crimson storm and fell into contemplation.

This, that’s not right?

“The sound seems to be coming from over here.”

Three footsteps sounded, and Xiao Lin turned her head, meeting the eyes of Marton, Hans, and Jim.

The three of them had originally been looking for a remote place to hide from Mavis, and as a result, they heard a strange sound. Their professional instincts made them check it out.

They just happened to see a thing completely hidden under a black robe, suspected to be a small demon.

“Sentence!” Eager to show off, Hans, without thinking, directly threw out a judgment document targeting small demons.

But Xiao Lin reacted faster, grabbing the blood-red bead and running.

In addition, it was a judgment document targeting small demons. She was a succubus, and they let her run away.

“Marton, you go get people, the two of us will chase!” Without thinking, Hans let Marton, who had been in a bad state recently, go get people, and he and Jim hurriedly chased after her.

Xiao Lin: “It’s over, the plan failed.”

Linlin: “Then let’s forget it, prepare to run on the original planned route.”

Xiao Lin: “I refuse, you know what I’m thinking. Hehe.”

Linlin: “What do you want to do?”

Xiao Lin: “Hehe, are you feigning ignorance?”

Xiao Lin first came to the roof, leisurely watching the pursuers behind her.

“Where’s the demon? Where is it?”

“Don’t squeeze, let me kill!”

It was a bit noisy, but this was expected. The court of justice allowed outsiders to visit because they were determined to fish. Dare to rob the execution ground? One dies.

Not to mention, they considered Xiao Lin to be the weakest small demon.

The feelings between demons were extremely thin.

It was rare to have someone who seemed to be robbing the execution ground, and they naturally became excited, wanting the demons to feel the court of justice’s enthusiasm.

“You think, why do I dare to stop here?” Teacher Bertha’s researched voice-changing magic was quite useful, making Xiao Lin’s voice sound deep and heavy. It sounded like an evil villain.

Xiao Lin raised the blood-red bead, and the others immediately prepared for battle.

Dealing with demons, caution was necessary. Anyway, there was no escape, so they temporarily distanced themselves to observe.

“Bring your anger to the world! Come out! Crimson Storm!” Xiao Lin shouted, scaring those people, and they all jumped away.

And then…

Everyone looked at the miniature crimson giant and fell into contemplation.

Some people even couldn’t help but, Pfft, burst into laughter.

Xiao Lin wanted to cry but had no tears, and thought in her heart, “Main body, if you don’t take action, I, the little one, will be done for.”

In the grand square, Linlin lowered her eyes, but in the end, sighed and grabbed Mavis.

“What’s wrong? Linlin?” Mavis wondered.

“Darling, look over there, what is that?”

Mavis looked in the direction Linlin was pointing and saw a group of people who seemed to be about to gang up on a little thing.

“Wait a moment.” Mavis’s gaze suddenly focused on the item the little thing was holding. Wasn’t that her blood-red bead?

“It’s over, Linlin, our home has been robbed!”

Linlin held her forehead; this was a thief in their own home.

On the other side.

After realizing that the small demon in front of them was just bluffing, everyone didn’t intend to hold back.

However, at this moment, Xiao Lin breathed a long sigh of relief, “Finally…”

“Heh, stop acting tough.”

“Acting tough? Then what about now? Roar! Crimson Overlord!”

Wait, didn’t they call it Crimson Storm? Those people were inwardly complaining.

They thought this small demon was stalling for time, but it was a pity, the real strong ones were all closely watching the demons in those cells, and there was no chance for them to lure anyone away.

And then…

The sky suddenly changed, and a dense blood qi covered the sky in an instant, and even the sun was dyed red.

The air was filled with a suffocating atmosphere, causing everyone’s hearts to tremble.

“In the name of Falan Dun, what, what is this?” A law practitioner’s hand holding the judgment document was trembling slightly.

“Demon lord! It’s a demon lord! Its anger will destroy all of Holderma!” A soldier who had participated in the war ten years ago, and had seen a demon lord, collapsed on the ground, seemingly stimulated, and shouted at the top of his lungs.

Buzzing…

The air was vibrating, and something of great terror seemed to be condensed in the blood qi.

Everyone wanted to run, but fear prevented them from taking any steps.

Only Mavis’s eyes lit up and said to Linlin, “Linlin, look, this is the blood-red bead, it’s very powerful. That’s right, that’s right, fully activating it should be like this.”

Linlin’s face was flushed. Was this effect more terrifying than the previous time?

A pair of claws tore the sky apart, and a blood-red eye looked down upon the world, like a god in its second life.

However, this god was filled with boundless malice towards the world.

“The Solitary Sorrowful One’s blade will eventually stain Holderma with blood! Celebrate! You ignorant mortals!”

Xiao Lin pretended to be an enthusiastic cultist, and inadvertently pointed out the background.
