## Chapter 704 – Paladin Kim Kat

Anyway, I moved the coffin containing the heretic preacher, the chests of money, and the ledger into the wagon with Anderson and Harmat.

Ewald outside will keep a good watch over it.

If I can’t trust our disciples, who can I trust?
I trust them as much as they trust me.

“Now, we’ll head down to the main site, the second basement floor.”
“…”
“…”

Standing in front of the door, they were quite nervous and stood at attention.

“This is your first real mission and case, right?”
“That’s right.”
“…Yes.”

It felt like I was commanding newly enlisted privates.

“The first button is important. Whatever you start with is the most important. Why? Because even if you forget the second or third, you’ll always remember the first. You’ll unknowingly be influenced by that memory.”

I spouted some appropriate nonsense.

“I believe you’ll fasten that first button well. Yes, there are heinous guys restrained below. But what if we kill them right away? We won’t be able to figure out their methods. That can’t happen. Did you understand?”
“…Yes, I understand well. Although my heart is trembling with anger.”

Anderson said, placing his hand on his chest.

“I’ve taken the Paladin’s words to heart, so I believe I can do well.”
“Escort the guys in the wagon to the temple! I’ll only think about that!”

Harmat also answered energetically.

Even if they say this, once they go down, they’ll probably scream and do the techno dance from the late 90s as soon as they open the bathroom door. Or maybe the Divine Cossack dance of madness.

“…Let’s go down then.”

Then I’ll have to subdue them with force first.
I hope that doesn’t happen.

ㅡThump, thump.

The stairs were dark.

The disciples followed closely behind me. Eventually, we reached the second basement floor and opened the door. The thick aphrodisiac scent was long gone.

It doesn’t really smell like anything.

“This is…”
“The heretics’ gathering place… I can already feel the evil energy rushing in.”

The two rookie paladins said in quite a nervous tone. Well, there are only women at the end of that hallway anyway.

We crossed the entire hallway and entered the orgy hall.

“Huk…!”
“T, this is…!”

In the orgy hall, there were women in their early twenties lying, sitting and sobbing, or sleeping. In the corner… those who hadn’t recovered from the side effects were masturbating.

These women had also been here for the past three days.

They were provided with food, water, toiletries, and toilets, but they still looked quite haggard.

“S, such a terrible thing…”
“Are these women… all victims?”

The disciples, swallowing their breaths, asked.

“Yes. Most of them.”

I nodded and answered.
Most of them are victims.

“But there’s a chance that remnants are mixed in. That’s why an investigation is needed.”
“…I understand.”
“…Yes.”

Perhaps because they saw the victims, they paused for a moment, about to move their feet, and looked at my face.

ㅡA panicked expression.

“P, Paladin? A large number of women are… committing indecent acts…”
“W, what kind of, what kind of things…”

They seemed embarrassed because they were young.

“As I said, they were affected by the aphrodisiac, and they have side effects or broken hearts. Those who are committing indecent acts now… must have been particularly shocked.”
“This is…!”
“Unbelievable…!”

The disciples, who were about to tear their hair out, covered their mouths with both hands, knelt down, and shed tears.

“You’ll witness more of this in the future. That’s what paladins do. Of course, it depends on the affiliation, but it won’t be much different.”

I told them the harsh reality.

“Sob…! Why, whyyy…! Such cruel…!”
“Terrible thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“It must be all because of the heretics.”

Atrocities committed for religious achievement, not personal gain. They rationalize these things in the name of religion and commit them without guilt.

Fusion Confucianism doesn’t forgive those bastards.

“Now go and tell them who you are and ask for their cooperation.”

The disciples, wiping away their tears and nodding, approached the women and said.

“We’re from the Brass Celestial Angel Society. We are paladins, and we will now escort you to the Order. For investigation related to heretics. Of course, if you are innocent, nothing will happen.”
“Unfortunately… you are suspected of heresy. Of course, we know that’s not the case. But this is a procedure that must be done. Please cooperate. Nothing will happen.”

The young teenagers tried to smile as kindly as possible to reassure them, and perhaps relieved by their attitude and introduction as paladins, the women soon began to shed tears.

“Sniff… Sniff…!”
“The, the church… came to save us…!”
“Paladins…!”

ㅡA sea of tears.

I quietly watched the disciples calming the women down. They explained the procedures and escort plans, and the women nodded, crying.

Harmat began to take control.
Anderson approached me and said with a gloomy face.

“Paladin. I… I can never forgive the beings who made these women suffer so much.”
“You don’t have to forgive them.”

There’s no need to forgive those bastards.

“Killing and destroying is our job. But not now. Just think about that. Got it?”
“Yes. I understand, Paladin. But where are the criminals?”
“In that bathroom. Let’s move the women first.”

They slowly controlled the people and went up to the ground, putting them in the wagon. There were over twenty people, but it was enough to divide them into two wagons. Cooperation was also very good.

“Ewald. Keep a good watch.”
“Yes, Paladin.”

Now we’ll put the criminals in the remaining one.

We went back down to the orgy hall.

“Now the last ones are the criminals.”

ㅡGulp.

The sound of swallowing could be heard all the way here.
…I’m nervous too.

I’m worried these bastards will act crazy.

“As I explained, the bastards inside attended this orgy gathering, raped women, and paid tribute to the heretic preacher.”

I explain again.

“The real heretic committed suicide, and these guys are likely just suckers. Still, they committed special rapes. They’re dangerous because they were involved in heresy. Above all, they didn’t cooperate with my investigation. So be careful.”

When I told them that, the faces of the two disciples began to distort.

“Krrr…!”
“Urrrr!! Urrrrrr!!”

Huh?

“Anderson? Harmat?”
“Hulululung!!! Hululululung!! Hululululululululung!!!!!”
“Iyollolololololololololololo!!!”

ㅡBouncing!

They squeezed their faces and screamed, grabbing and releasing the handles of the swords on their waists, stomping their feet, rolling their eyes, and licking their philtrums with their tongues.

“Hey.”

They haven’t even seen them yet?

“Rest assured, Paladin! I’m going to release my anger first to calm down, Dejaaaaaaaat!!!”
“Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!!”

Damn it, the situation I was worried about has happened?

After releasing their impulses for a long time, they finally said with refreshed faces.

“I’m calm!!!”
“Anger piggy bank memorized!!! Ready to save!!!”

Is this… one of the ways to control anger?
If so, I’ve educated them properly.

“…Yeah, who else can I trust but you guys.”

Now it’s a gamble.

ㅡSqueak.

I opened the bathroom door.

As soon as I entered, the men with dead eyes listlessly looked this way. These were the criminals. So, their arms and legs were tied in a narrow space, and they were thrown in with only their underwear on.

“Me. Descend.”

A disgusting smell wafts in.

“You almost-were trash bastards.”

These bastards deserve to die.

“The paladins have come. Now you have to go there.”
“U, uuuuuuck…!”
“Sniff, sniff…!”
“Kheuheueuck…!”

The men trembled, terrified by the word paladin. I had briefly interrogated and questioned them over the past three days. In the process, I gave them a few inhumane threats.

“From now on, I will escort you to the Order. Depending on the severity of the crime, your lives will be decided. I hope you don’t think about lying in front of the Order’s stern inquisitors.”

Then, the City Guard Chief cried out, shedding tears.

“I didn’t know…! I didn’t know!!!”

Having lost his penis and testicles, he looked so pathetic.

“I didn’t know this was such a heretical gathering!!! We were deceived by the preacher!!! So please have mercy!!!”

The guys who were crying sincerely are making excuses?

“You’ll find out about that too. If you had cooperated with the investigation in the first place, this wouldn’t have happened.”
“Heueueuck!!”
“Keueueueuck…!”

Okay, then I’ll have Anderson and Harmatㅡ

“Krrreureup…! Kkurrrreureup!!”
“Hikiieeeeeeeeeeeet!!!”
“Guys?”

At that moment, Anderson and Harmat made all sorts of strange noises, grabbing and releasing the handles of the swords on their waists, stomping their feet, rolling their eyes, and licking their philtrums with their tongues.

“Shaaaaaaaat!!”
“Hoooooooong!!!! Ssuuuuuung!!! Ssuuuuuung! SsuungsSuung!!!!”
“Miyaaaaaaaong!!! Miyoooooooong!!!”
“Huoong! Huuuuuwook!!!!!!! Huoooooooooook!!!”

Saliva splattered, and tongues popped out.

Giving their bodies a lot of strength, they looked like the craziest guys in the world. Guys, damn it! What’s wrong with you! The Paladin explained so much to calm you down!!

“Calm! Calm! Calm! Calmeeeeeeeeeeee!!”
“The anger piggy bank!!!!!! Paladin!!!! Taught me!!!!”
“To prevent future victims!!!!”
“I endure! I endure! I endure! Kieeeeeeeeeek!!”

ㅡShwoooong!

Harmat, who screamed, flew out of the bathroom in an instant.

“Hey, damn it, don’t fly away!!! Anderson! Wake up!!”
“I’m awake!!!! That was a ritual to save this huge anger!! Harmat will be back soon too!!! We practiced it together a few times!!!”

As he said, after waiting for about 30 seconds, Harmat, covered in sweat, came back and gasped.

What are these guys…?

What have I created?

I may have created something more bizarre than I thought.

“Then can you take these bastards up now?”
“Just give me the order!!!!!”
“Get up, you heretic bastards!!!!!”
“Hiiiiiiick!!”

The disciples, who were finally motivated, started kicking the heretics to get them up! But it wasn’t a massacre, just a simple threat!

Finally!

The paladins prevented the massacre of heretics and escorted them!!!

“Anderson! Harmat! Now you have to be judged! Escort them to the wagon quickly!”
“Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“I understand!!!!!!!”

The disciples, who answered energetically, tied the criminals like dried corvina, and we barely managed to go up to the ground and put the criminals in the wagon.

Now, damn it, I’m going home.

“Paladin! Are you going back to the Order right away!”
“We want to!!”

Anderson and Harmat asked.

“Eueukeueueuck…! Angerrrrrrrr…!”

Ewald rolled his eyes and was about to go crazy.

“Yeah, now we have to go to the Great Temple. Calm Ewald down first and leave right away. I’ll pack my bags and follow you.”

With Ilryong and Iryong’s speed, they can catch up with the wagon quickly.

“I understand! Then we’ll leave!!!”

With that answer, my disciples drove the wagon. And the wagon carrying the victims and criminals leaves the main street.

I waved to them and returned to the accommodation.

Let’s go see the Saintess quickly.

* * *

We were able to arrive in the capital faster than expected.

“You need a pass.”

First, the disciples’ wagon was blocked at the entrance.

Because they were carrying heretics. It’s a very natural thing, but in this case, permission is required to enter. I’ll go and inform the temple first.

“Paladin! Please inform the temple immediately! Then you’ll get permission to enter!”
“I know that! Wait a moment!”
“Yes!”

I had no problem, so I could enter right away, and after stopping by the house to drop off the women, I immediately rushed to the temple.

“Cloudy! I’ll go to the church first!!!”
“Okay. Have a good trip.”

I greeted her briefly.

I went straight into the temple and looked for the Saintess. Is it over if I arrive at the Great Temple? Absolutely not. This is the base of fanatics who are eager to kill heretics.

According to what I heard from the Saintess last time, the Order’s inquisitors are really dedicated people. They wouldn’t be able to be inquisitors if they weren’t dedicated.

They just haven’t had many opportunities to interrogate heretics, but they are said to be sincere and rational people.

Then my mission will be to safely get the people who were escorted to the interrogation room.

“Saintess!!! I’m here!!!”

I urgently went to find the Saintess.

“Paladin has come. Hmm, I’ll listen to the detailed explanation and report later. What do you need now?”

The Saintess said that as soon as she saw me, quickly noticing.

“First of all, I somehow persuaded and controlled the rookie paladins and arrested and brought all the people involved! They are waiting at the entrance of the capital now!! But if you want to interrogate those people, you have to take them to the interrogation room safely! But, damn it, I think as soon as the wagon arrives in front of the temple, all the paladins will rush in and tear the wagon apart!!”

When I said it as concisely as possible, the Saintess nodded.

“…I understand. I’ll prepare right away.”

ㅡClick.

“Rest assured. They won’t be able to do such a thing in front of this Saintess.”

And she gets up from her seat.

“I’m a Saintess, after all.”
“As expected!!! Saintess!!! I’m relieved!!!!!!”
