...

Time passed by quickly, and before I knew it, it was a few days later.

Gru is a relatively remote town in the Saint-Luen area.

There are six villages of all sizes around the town, as well as manors near the villages, and small gathering places with a total population of 6,000 or 7,000 people.

In addition to being closer to the Monastery of St. Lu'an, this is a town with no characteristics. In the early years, it could also maintain the prosperity of the town by entertaining a steady stream of pilgrimage teams and the procurement of materials for the monastery. However, with the fall of the God of Light and the empire introduced a policy to ban the Cult of Light, the town of Gru became increasingly desolate, and even fewer caravans came.

Southwest corner of Gru Town.

On a towering cliff, Gru Fort is like a crouching beast, quietly guarding the town of Gru under your feet.

Compared with the Monastery of St. Lu'an, Gru Castle is less sacred and majestic, but it is even more ferocious. The moat is more than ten meters wide, the thick stone walls, the towering arrow tower and the observation deck... The complete war facilities make it look like a war machine, with a fierce and evil spirit, as if it is possible to stretch out its hideous fangs anytime and anywhere.

It is the hereditary war fortress of the Gru family and the last barrier to enter the Gru area.

And Baron Gundyar is the hereditary baron of the Gru family.

The ancestors of the Gru family also appeared in great men who followed the emperor to open up territory and fought against the east and west, but time passed and the world changed.

The foundation passed down from ancestors was gradually wiped out, and the generation of Gondeyar became increasingly declining.

However, after the decline, Gundyar's pomp was not small at all. In order to maintain his arrogance and debauchery, he imposed heavy taxes in the territory, which had already caused deep resentment among the people of the territorial people. It was just that due to Gundyar's tyranny, he dared not speak out.

In the evening, the sun sets.

The afterglow of the sunset shone on an old carriage, which inexplicably looked desolate.

Under the pull of the slow horse, the old carriage slowly approached Gruburg in Gundyar.

The driving was a young man wearing linen clothes, strong and strong, with a slightly red eye socket, and his expression seemed to have some kind of reluctance that had been suppressed for a long time.

The gates of Gru Fort are not yet closed, and the suspension bridge is still built on the moat.

On the post, two elite soldiers in mail saw the approaching carriage and immediately stepped forward to stop it with guns. They shouted arrogantly: "Stop, stop, who are you? You are so brave, how dare you approach Gru Castle and live impatiently?"

Hearing this, the young man's eyes were filled with anger.

However, he quickly suppressed his anger and showed a flattering smile: "Two sirs, my name is Abram, and I was sent to Gruburg by the order of the Baron."

The elite soldier looked him up and down, with a vigilant look on his face: "Where is the Baron's handwriting? And, who is on the carriage?"

The young man Abram hesitated for a moment, his eyes seemed unwilling to accept: "No, there is no handwriting. The car, my newlywed wife Alia."

The two elite soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

They smiled unscrupulously, and their eyes looked at Abram with contempt and mockery: "So you are Abram~ I heard that you have married a beautiful wife, congratulations."

Abram's face turned red, as if he could not bear the humiliation, and his fists were clenched tightly.

The elite soldiers didn't care about his mood at all, and they smiled even more happily when they saw him like this. One of the elite soldiers even stepped forward and opened the curtain of the carriage.

I saw a bride wearing a white wedding dress sitting in a carriage. Although she couldn't see her face clearly because she was wearing a veil, she could still see that she was graceful and had outstanding temperament. Moreover, the afterglow of the sunset shone on the bride through the car window, as if she was covered with a layer of holy light gauze, adding a bit of sacred temperament.

"What a beautiful bride." A trace of greed and excitement flashed in the eyes of the elite soldier, and he waved at Abram without turning his head, "Leave the carriage, you can go back first."

Abram blushed and said nervously, "Sir, no. According to the rules of Lord Baron, I must send Alia to the castle in person."

“Hahaha~”

The laughter of the two elite soldiers became increasingly rampant: "What an obedient waste groom~ Forget it, go in~ Remember, you can only sleep in the stable tonight."

They waved and let go, and then Abram lowered his head and sat back in the driver's seat, and drove slowly towards the suspension bridge in the carriage.

Seeing this, the two elite soldiers couldn't help laughing, not afraid that Abram would hear him, so they even started to laugh loudly in front of him.

"The Baron is really good at playing. After the execution, Ye Quan actually asked the other groom to send him here in person."

"Yes, yes~ But this is very good, right? Let the groom guard the castle, let him fantasize about what kind of joy his beautiful bride is experiencing."

"This time, I wonder if it's our turn to get a share of the pie? This time the bride is very beautiful."

"We'll go and have a look after the rotation. Maybe we can get a good deal, hahaha~"

The evil laughter was unscrupulous and was transmitted into the carriage through the thick curtains.

In the carriage, the "bride" who should have shrunk and frightened, her spine was straight, her eyes were as cold as ice, as if even the air could freeze.

...

Before we knew it, the sunset completely fell below the horizon.

Night falls.

Darkness enveloped Gruburg.

At the highest point of the castle, in the floor-to-ceiling window at the top of the watchtower, a faint candlelight shines.

In the room, the "bride" who was sent by her newlywed husband was now wearing the holy and beautiful white wedding dress, sitting dignifiedly on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at the door.

This room, which should have been a lookout room, has been transformed into a dormitory by Baron Gundyar, a special dormitory dedicated to exercising the lord's first night power.

The room was very simple, with only a wooden bed with linen in the center of the room, and seven or eight kinds of "torture instruments" with wooden structures were placed on the table next to it. Those torture instruments were obscure in shape, and there were still blood stains of different colors on the surface, which was shocking.

Even with the candlelight swaying, a gloomy and cold aura still floated in the room, as if there were evil spirits surrounding it, making people shudder.

However, in such an environment, the "bride" sitting on the edge of the bed still has a calm face, and her blue eyes are not afraid at all, but instead reveal a hint of compassion.

It turned out that this "bride" was nothing but Katherine who disguised herself as she sneaked into Gruburg.

Only by seeing the scene in front of you, Katherine could imagine the inhuman experiences that pure and kind brides had suffered in this room, and could even imagine their helplessness and fear at that time. Naturally, they would not feel afraid, but would only be angry.

In her mind, she unconsciously remembered the tragic death of the nanny and sisters in the monastery. The anger in her heart became more and more intense like flames, almost swallowing her reason.

Just when Catherine was sad and angry, in the Kingdom of God, Wu Hui also saw the decorations in the room through the "Eye of God".

Seeing this situation, even if he was not carrying a deep hatred like Katherine, he couldn't help but curse the beast. This Gandyar is really a big deal~

Just yesterday, he had accumulated 1,000 points of faith and condensed 1 point of divine power again, giving him more confidence, and then he officially started to take action.

However, even though he was fully prepared, it was still very dangerous for Catherine to go deep alone. Wu Hui was really worried. He had been opening the Eye of God from the beginning to pay attention to the progress of the situation in real time so that he could respond in time when problems arise.

Suddenly.

Heavy footsteps came from outside the door.

Even Wu Hui became a little nervous. This battle was related to life and death.
