Chapter 688 Entering the City

"call……………"

Seeing the green dragon's body being dragged away, Emilia breathed a sigh of relief and let go of her hand holding the sword hilt.

The girl next to her had her eyes widened.

"Ai, Ai, Ms. Emilia? He, they killed a dragon?"

"Well...it's really surprising, but since it's the Tribunal...it doesn't seem that surprising."

As she spoke, Emilia sighed.

"And don't call me ma'am."

"But………"

Looking at the girl next to her, Emilia only felt that everything in the world was uncertain. In the cold winter less than a year ago, she was just a fledgling divine paladin, running behind Duanmu Huai like an ignorant puppy. As a result, in less than a year, after experiencing adventures in Neverwinter City and the Underdark Region, she has now become the Knight Commander of the Tyrian Church in Neverwinter City - taking over the position of Irebes.

And this girl, the new divine knight, became her subordinate.

Did Mr. Duanmu think of me the same way back then?

Looking at the innocent and simple girl in front of her, Emilia suddenly felt a little emotional. It was less than a year ago, but why did she become so old-fashioned...

"I'm not a few years older than you, so just call me Miss."

"Ah, okay, Miss Amelia."

"Let's go in."

After all, Amelia had followed Duanmu Huai around for a long time and had developed resistance, so she was only slightly shocked, and then she immediately came back to her senses.

After all, in the Underdark, the Inquisition is a ruthless character who chases down the drow and kills them all, even the patron saint Lolth. What does a mere green dragon mean? Even the red dragon and the black dragon will probably end up with the same fate.

As for the Colorful Dragon Queen... Well, to put it bluntly, Emilia thought that if Tiamat dared to come to trouble, she would end up like Rose.

After all, Duanmu Huai is not an easy person to talk to.

Emilia turned around and left with the paladins of Tyr, but the others were not so determined. In fact, they were almost all standing there blankly, staring at the scene in front of them, dumbfounded, with long mouths. Bigger than an egg. This is normal. After all, they all felt the terrifying power emanating from the green dragon. Of course, there were people present who could deal with the dragon, but...

Thinking of this, everyone looked at the night guards who returned to their posts with complicated expressions. There are many veterans among them, and they can naturally see the whole process of the battle clearly. Generally, if they want to deal with a giant dragon, they must either use some special means or use magic targeted at dragons. After all, dealing with a giant dragon is really dangerous and difficult. things.

However, these people didn't do that. They just crushed him head-on. To put it simply - they were stronger than the green dragon, so they beat the green dragon like a grandson, and were easily defeated by them.

Such a powerful guard is actually guarding the door here?

How strong is the Inquisition?

At this moment, everyone's expressions became serious.

It was obvious that they were dealing with a powerful force beyond their imagination.

Although Amelia thought she was used to the crazy actions Duanmu Huai did, when she walked through the porch and came inside, the view in front of her still surprised Amelia.

Because she had been here before as part of a survey team, Emilia still remembered that just a few months ago, this place was still deserted. Although the black-armored warriors were indeed under construction, when Emilia wanted to come, The construction work in the territory may not be completed within three to five years.

But it turns out that Amelia's idea was wrong.

Passing through the side porch, the first thing that catches Amelia's eyes is a magnificent bridge. The bridge can accommodate dozens of people shoulder to shoulder. The clear sound. Opposite the bridge is a circular public square, which is spread out in three directions: left, center and right by three main roads.

The most impressive thing is the countless luxurious, elegant and exquisite buildings opposite. They are all stone buildings. However, the most prominent feature is that there is a long spire at the top of these buildings. These round spires. Slender, long and tall, pointing straight into the air like a raised knight's spear.

The majestic appearance and towering spiers of these buildings are filled with an indescribable sanctity and solemnity under the sunlight. So much so that just looking at the building complex from a distance before getting close makes people instinctively feel... A feeling of awe.

Looking further into the distance, the metal church complex where the Tribunal is located stands proudly on these buildings, as if the temple on the Heavenly Mountain overlooks the world.

Sacred, solemn, mysterious, majestic, terrifying.

This was Emilia's first impression of seeing this city. It was a feeling that was difficult to describe in detail. As a Paladin, she had never seen such an architectural style, let alone such a magnificent one. The building complex, even the palaces of the lords or even the royal palace, may not be comparable to this city.

And Emilia is obviously not the only one who feels this way.

She turned her head and looked to the side, and saw many people not far away who had passed the customs. They were kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down their faces, clasping their hands on their chests and praying, as if they had seen some kind of miracle. Others also lowered their heads and moved forward slowly, as if it was a sin to make a loud noise in front of such a majestic city.

"Okay, so beautiful..."

Emilia's followers were also dumbfounded at this moment, standing there blankly, motionless.

"Okay, let's go."

Emilia whispered something, then pulled the little follower who had come back to his senses, and continued to move forward with the priest.

However, for them, this is just the beginning.

When Amelia and others crossed the bridge and arrived at the circular square, suddenly, several shadows fell from the sky and slowly fell in front of them. It was wearing armor, holding a sharp blade, and had wings behind it...

"God, God, angel?!"

Not only was his little follower stunned, but even Emilia was also greatly surprised. Angels, the spokespersons of God, have always lived in Heaven Mountain. Unless there is an emergency, angels rarely appear on the main material plane. And in this city, there are actually angels guarding it?

But doesn’t the Inquisition not believe in gods?

Emilia also hurriedly lowered her head and saluted respectfully to the angel in front of her. At the same time, she was secretly confused deep in her heart. After all, Duanmu Huai also told them about the beliefs and doctrines of the Tribunal, and according to the education Emilia received, angels generally serve the gods... But there is no god in the Tribunal to believe in...? ?

"Mortals, why are you here?"

"Hello, noble angel."

Neither Emilia nor the little follower spoke, but the old priest beside her answered hurriedly.

"We are the guardians of Tire and were invited to come here to meet with His Excellency the Grand Inquisitor."

"I understand, come with me."

Hearing the priest's answer, the angel nodded to them and then looked at the others.

"Representatives of the temple, please come with me to the Inquisition, while others will go to the Civic Center to complete the procedures."

After saying this, the angel flapped his wings, turned and walked towards the middle road, and representatives from various temples, including Emilia and others, hurriedly followed.

Following the angel moving forward, Emilia also carefully looked at the surrounding buildings. The characteristics of this city are really very distinct. There are countless statues erected on both sides of the street. Their images are basically the same - ——These warriors wore armor similar to that of the Night Guard, holding swords and shields in their hands. They had wings behind them and wore helmets. They stood silently on both sides of the street, looking like rows of guards.

Apart from that, the most eye-catching thing is the skull pattern.

There are patterns of skulls and warhammers on almost every door. They are equally silent and full of some indescribable sense of oppression and fear.

But for Amelia, she noticed something else.

That is - the buildings here are very big.

Yes, Amelia could see clearly that even the outer door of an ordinary building was quite tall. Although it is not as big as the main entrance of the church, it is still nearly two meters high. Moreover, there are no dark alleys like those in other cities here, and the narrowest roads are as wide as the main roads in other cities...

Hmm... maybe this is Mr. Duanmu's request.

I don’t know why, but at this moment, Emilia suddenly recalled that when she was in Helm Fortress, Duanmu Huai had so much trouble getting in, so that he always broke through the wall later. Of course, considering his height and build, there's nothing he can do about it. When he was in Neverwinter City, he also complained several times about the difficulty of walking on the road and the difficulty of entering the door.

Is it because of this that Mr. Duanmu asked the city’s doors and windows to be so big?

"Pfft."

Thinking of this, Amelia couldn't help but chuckle. When he heard her laughter, the little follower next to her looked at her curiously. Fortunately, Amelia quickly stopped her smile.

When they walked to the metal church of the Tribunal, the representatives all exclaimed in surprise, but Emilia breathed a sigh of relief.

After walking for so long, I finally saw something familiar to me.

"Representatives please come in, while others are waiting outside."

The meeting place was still the hall, but this time, Emilia did not enter. According to the angel, only representatives of various temples were eligible to enter. So she could only stand in the corridor with her little follower. The latter's eyes widened and he looked around, obviously dazzled by everything in front of him.

However, what exactly is Mr. Duanmu going to do?

Amelia stared at the door, lost in thought. She didn't know what was going on. She only knew that Duanmu Huai had sent invitations to the churches of the gods in the name of the Tribunal, and that the temples that had received the invitations had sent high-ranking priests or priests. Even some people who would not even attend the king's banquet were invited to the court.

What did Mr. Duanmu want to do when he called these people together?

In fact, this is also a question that others have.

"We are already here, Mr. Inquisitor."

In the hall, representatives of various temples stood there, looking at Duanmu Huai who was sitting on a chair.

"Excuse me, what exactly did you call us here for?"

"Are you all here?"

However, Duanmu Huai did not intend to answer their questions. Instead, he stood up, stared at the representatives below, and then spoke.

"Since you are all here, then show up. There is no point in wasting time."

"——————————!!"

As soon as Duanmu Huai finished speaking, suddenly, dazzling rays of light fell from the sky, shining on these high-level priests and priests.

When the light faded, shining figures slowly appeared in front of Duanmu Huai.
