Chapter 865 Plot Props

When Duanmu Huai returned to the Tribunal, he was also exhausted.

It was not a big problem to deal with ghouls and vampires, but the Son of the Black Goat that appeared at the end brought real losses to the Tribunal. Not only did the Countermeasures Bureau suffer heavy losses, but even the Night Guards brought by Duanmu Huai also lost more than a dozen people. You know, the Night Guards are soul carriers and have no physical bodies at all. But even so, they were still parasitized by the Son of the Black Goat, which shows how terrifying Shabu Nicholas is...

Once again, Duanmu Huai was determined not to take people to that world casually.

Even the Night Guards could be infected, so he didn't want to try whether the Soul Card would be treated the same way.

Of course, for the Countermeasures Bureau, this plan was ultimately successful. After all, Duanmu Huai directly used his spear to sweep the ground without any martial ethics, completely destroying the entire 24th district. Everything, including the Son of the Black Goat, was burned to charcoal, but the Countermeasures Bureau also suffered heavy losses. As for the last beam of light, well, Duanmu Huai didn't say it, and the Countermeasures Bureau could only think that it was done by the ghouls who were desperate and wanted to die together.

Fortunately, the 24th district was located in a remote part of the city, and the Countermeasures Bureau also evacuated the surrounding people for safety reasons before the battle began, so there were not too many civilian casualties.

However, for Duanmu Huai... he was a little troubled.

"Hey, what is this thing used for?"

While muttering, Duanmu Huai opened the system menu and called up the inventory. In the inventory, you can see a black, billiard-sized round bead.

This is something Duanmu Huai found from the ashes after defeating the core of the Son of the Black Goat and burning it.

The system explained this thing like this.

[Black Goat Seed (Plot Item)]

Gone.

Duanmu Huai’s first reaction was to burn or smash this thing directly. However, no matter whether he smashed it with a war hammer or burned it with black flames, this thing did not react at all. Mary looked at it with her golden eyes, and the latter also said that it looked like an ordinary bead, as if there was nothing special about it.

Well, according to the game settings, plot items cannot be sold or destroyed. Otherwise, if the player accidentally throws away an important plot item, he will cry.

But Duanmu Huai really wanted to throw it away, but he couldn’t!

That’s right, after confirming that there was no way to destroy this thing, Duanmu Huai even took a battleship to throw this thing into a star.

As a result, the thing popped up again in the inventory just after he threw it out.

This is a game bug. Can I report it?

Unfortunately, Duanmu Huai pressed the report button to pieces and it didn’t work.

Of course, according to the game, this is definitely not a bug, but Duanmu Huai was panicking.

Because this is a "plot item"!

In what plot will he meet Shab-Nicholas? !

He was so scared that he was stunned.

Duanmu Huai felt that even if his loving father jumped out and hugged him, it would be better than this.

After all, the mother of the black goat in the legend really didn't care about life or coldness, and she would accept anyone who came. As long as it was a living being, it would be fine... What if she found him and wanted to have a baby with him?

Duanmu Huai felt cold all over when he thought about it.

But he couldn't throw it away, so what could he do?

He had to take it with him... I hope nothing will happen.

Duanmu Huai silently locked the black bead in the inventory, then dragged it to the corner and put it down.

Really, I hope nothing will happen.

"Hey..."

Duanmu Huai closed the inventory, and then noticed a pair of eyes staring at him. He turned his head and saw a petite girl with silver hair and red eyes staring at him from behind a pillar. Seeing Duanmu Huai found her, the silver-haired girl made a face at him, then turned and ran away.

"Ah............"

Duanmu Huai sighed again. His relationship with Illya was not bad, but it was not good either. To be honest, Duanmu Huai felt awkward looking at Illya, and Illya probably felt awkward looking at Duanmu Huai as well. It was not because of their appearance, but because they were in this position, which was awkward in itself.

For Duanmu Huai, Illya was not the daughter of Irisviel next to him, but the daughter of Irisviel and another man in another timeline. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was wrong. And for Illya, her father was not Duanmu Huai, but a man whose name was unknown in another timeline.

So when she saw her mother - well, the mother in another timeline and Duanmu Huai being intimate together, Illya probably had the same complicated feelings as Duanmu Huai.

To be honest, this is all a mess.

Duanmu Huai felt numb.

Of course, if we think of Irisviel in another timeline as the sister of Irisviel in this timeline, it is not impossible... After all, from what Illya said, there seems to be a difference between the two.

For example, according to Irisviel, she is the most perfect android created by the Einzbern family, so she became the master of Saber and came to participate in the Holy Grail War. But according to Illya, the Irisviel in her world does not seem to be a perfect android, so that world will choose to find a magician to marry into the family to cooperate with Irisviel in participating in the Holy Grail War.

As for where the flaws are... I definitely can't say what Irisviel is anyway. As far as Duanmu Huai is concerned, from his point of view, Irisviel is indeed perfect as a woman, with a good figure. Moreover, the skin feels very good, and the reaction is quite endearing...Ahem, I digress.

After all, she is a "perfect" artificial human.

So strictly speaking, the two are still different.

Well, Duanmuhuai can be put down.

"call……………"

After taking a deep breath, Duanmuhuai walked into the living room, and Irisviel who was sitting there stood up hurriedly when she saw Duanmuhuai.

"You're back, MASTER."

"Well, I'm back."

"I also met Miss Mary just now. She said she wanted to tidy up..."

"ah………"

After hearing Irisviel's report, Duanmu Huai also smiled bitterly - the previous tactics against the Son of the Black Goat were perfect, but they were not without losses. Apart from a dozen night guards, the biggest problem was that a strand of Mary's hair was singed.

There is actually nothing that can be done about this. Being in a torrent of energy that can melt even stones, even with the protection of Duanmuhuai and magic barriers, Mary cannot be said to be fully protected, let alone the scorching air. If there is no trace of If ordinary people who are protected go in, their entire bodies will be scorched. Relatively speaking, Mary only lost some hair, which was not a big deal in Duanmuhuai's opinion.

But Mary obviously complained about this to some extent, and kept complaining on the way back - it seems that there is some truth in the saying that hair is a woman's life.

Although Duanmuhuai doesn't think this is a big deal, but...

"Mr. Duanmu, who has no hair, doesn't understand the importance of hair at all!"

It's rare that Mary, who has always been gentle and elegant, can be so aggressive... Strictly speaking, Duanmu Huai is not hairless, he just doesn't like haircuts, so he has shaved his head...

"Mr. Knight should also pay more attention to girls' hearts. For girls, hair is very important."

An, who was sitting on the other side, was shaking her teacup and said with a smile.

As the number of people in the Tribunal increased, several unwritten rules were formed.

Basically, the current situation in the Inquisition is as follows.

In most cases, the girls, centered around Duanmu Huai, will drink tea and chat in the reception room, which is a bit like a company lounge. Everyone will also come to the reception room as soon as they come back to chat with everyone. Say hello, talk about what’s been going on, and talk about your experiences.

If Duanmu Huai needs to be notified of anything, he will summon everyone to the combat command room.

Apart from that, the girls spend most of their time independently, either in their own rooms or going to the library. There is also one who jogs around the entire satellite orbit——well, it goes without saying that you know who it is. .

"It's just a strand of hair. Besides, it can grow back."

Duanmuhuai doesn't think this is very important. In Irisviel's world, women's hair can be used as a medium for magic, so almost all the female magicians there have long hair, but Mary's hair does not need to be used for magic. Be a media...

"Why……………"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, An also sighed dumbfounded.

"Mr. Knight, places like this can really make people speechless sometimes."

"Okay, anyway, I will remember that you value hair more than gold."

Duanmuhuai didn't want to argue with women on such a topic that he didn't understand at all, just like he didn't understand why women on the Internet would argue about the color of lipstick.

Isn’t it just painting the mouth red? What’s the difference?

To put it ten thousand steps back, it’s just pink and crimson.

This one is red and that one is red, and they are sold so expensively... This is a system that men simply cannot understand.

Well, just like women can’t understand men’s love for graphics cards.

Aren’t they all graphics cards? What is the difference between AMD and NVDIA?

"Is there anything you need to report? I'll go back if it's okay."

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, Ogis, who was sitting aside, quickly climbed up Duanmuhuai's body like a monkey, sat on his shoulders, glanced at the other people around, and An The others shook their heads.

"It's no big deal."

"Let's talk about it later."

Hey, shouldn't there be a eunuch next to me at this time, and then every morning "if there is something going on, I will leave the court without the foundation"?

It doesn’t seem right for Ogis to say this...?

Recalling the TV series he had watched, Duanmuhuai muttered, then turned around and left the living room with Ojis.

"I'm back!"

Shortly after Duanmuhuai left, Medea came to the reception room with a smile and said hello to everyone.

"Medea, you are back, how is the situation there?"

Seeing Medea, Irisviel poured her a cup of tea and asked.

"Well, it's nice. Arkham City feels great. I like it there."

Taking the teacup handed over by Irisviel, Medea answered with a cheerful smile while enjoying the black tea. For Medea, Arkham City in the world of Faerûn is very similar to the world she lived in when she was alive, a world with magic, warcraft, and gods. This makes Medea quite enjoy her time in Arkham City. She lives a comfortable life, and she is also very interested in the gods of that world.

It's a pity that that world did not have the goddess Hecate that Medea believed in...

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Medea. Thanks to you, I can finally be liberated."

An also waved to Medea and said - Originally, An was responsible for being the magic consultant of Arkham City, but after all, she was still the princess of Manalia and needed to manage the situation in Manalia. , a bit too busy. The appearance of Medea also made An feel relieved. The latter was also a princess and a powerful magician. She was more proficient in gods and religions than An, so Medea soon took over An's care. As a magic consultant, An was able to free up and fish here again.

"It's nothing, I quite like that world... Has MASTER come back?"

"He just came back and he has already gone to rest."

"one person?"

Upon hearing Irisviel's answer, Medea's eyes suddenly lit up.

"No, Miss Ogis is with him."

"Ugh... I didn't expect MASTER to look so fierce and so popular with girls."

Regarding Medea's words, Irisviel also nodded silently in her heart. Although it was hard to say, in fact, they had some sense of superiority at first. After all, even though Duanmu Huai is powerful, he looks so fierce and is not the type that ordinary girls like at all, so at the beginning, they didn't think they would have many opponents.

As a result, when I arrived at the trial court, I discovered... there were quite a few girls around Duanmu Huai.

And...it's not much worse than them at all.

Although as servants, they have formed a solid contract with Duanmu Huai, they are still somewhat uneasy.

"But then again, there are absolutely no men in the upper echelons of the Inquisition."

"Isn't this good? It's just like the temple. After all, too many men will cause trouble. I've seen too many before..."

As she spoke, Medea sighed.

"Why did a subordinate army commander fall in love with his superior's newlywed wife, and the two of them eloped together. Or maybe a confidant man secretly had an affair with the king's wife. That's all troublesome... History There are so many similar things, even my father... Forget it, let’s not talk about it. Sometimes it’s better.”

"Ah, I did ask Mr. Knight this question. What do you think he answered?"

After hearing the exchange between the two, An also came over with a smile.

"How did you answer that?"

"Mr. Knight said that he will never allow a man who is more handsome than him to join the Tribunal."

"……………………"

Upon hearing Ann's answer, Medea and Irisviel looked at each other.

It seems that there will be no more men in the Inquisition.
