Chapter 686: enter the city

   "Hoo......"

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

  The girl next to her had her eyes widened.

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

   "Hmm... It's really surprising, but since it's a trial court... it doesn't seem so surprising."

   While speaking, Emilia sighed.

   "Also, don't call me Ms."

"But……"

   Looking at the girl beside her, Emilia only felt that the world was impermanent. In the cold winter less than a year ago, she was just a fledgling holy knight, running behind Duanmu Huai like an ignorant puppy. As a result, it has been less than a year now, and after experiencing the adventures of Neverwinter and the Underdark, she has now become the Knight Commander of the Church of Tyre in Neverwinter—taking over the position of Erebes.

   And this young girl, the new knight of the gods, became her subordinate.

  Did Mr. Duanmu think of me that way?

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

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

   "Ah, yes, Miss Amelia."

"Let's go in."

   After all, Amelia had been running around with Duanmuhuai for a long time, and she 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 chased the drow to kill even the patron saint Rose, so what is a mere green dragon? Even the red dragons and black dragons will probably have the same fate when they come.

  As for the Colorful Dragon Queen... Uh, to put it bluntly, what does Emilia think, if that Tiamat dares to make trouble, she might end up with Rose.

   After all, Duanmu Huai is not a talkative person.

Emilia turned around and left with Tyre's paladins, while the others didn't have such a good concentration. In fact, they were almost all standing there dumbfounded at the scene in front of them, with their mouths long. Bigger than an egg. This is also normal, after all, they all felt the terrifying power emanating from the green dragon. Of course, it is not that there are no people present who can 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 see the whole process of the battle clearly. Generally, if they want to deal with giant dragons, they either use some special means or use magic against the dragon clan. After all, it is really dangerous and difficult to deal with a giant dragon. things.

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

   Such a powerful guard actually guards the gate here?

  How strong is the Tribunal?

  At this moment, everyone's expressions became serious.

   Obviously, they are dealing with a powerful force beyond their imagination.

  Although Emilia thought that she was used to the crazy actions of Duanmuhuai, when she walked through the porch and came inside, the scenery in front of her still surprised Emilia.

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 those black armored soldiers were indeed under construction, when Emilia wanted to I am afraid that the construction work of the territory will not be completed in three to five years.

   But it turns out that Amelia was wrong.

Passing through the porch of the side door, the first thing that catches Emilia's eyes is a magnificent bridge, which can accommodate dozens of people shoulder to shoulder and stretches forward. clear sound. On the opposite side of the bridge is a circular public square spread from three main roads to the left, middle and right respectively.

The most impressive thing is the countless luxurious, elegant and exquisite buildings on the opposite side. They are all stone buildings, but the most prominent feature is that there is a long minaret at the top of these buildings. These circular minarets Thin, long and tall, pointing straight into the air like a raised knight's lance.

The majestic appearance of these buildings, the towering spiers, are full of an indescribable sacredness and solemnity under the sunlight, so that they are not close, but just looking at this building group from a distance, people instinctively have a A sense of awe.

   Looking further into the distance, the metal churches where the Tribunal is located stand proudly on top of these buildings, as if the temple on Heaven Mountain overlooks the world.

  Holy, majestic, mysterious, majestic, terrifying.

This is Emilia's first impression of this city, it is a feeling that is difficult to describe in detail, as a paladin, she has never seen such an architectural style, let alone such a magnificent The architectural complex, even the palaces of the lords or even the royal palace, may not be comparable to this city.

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

  She turned her head and looked to the side, and saw that not far away, there were many people who had already cleared the customs. At this moment, they were kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down their faces, clasping their hands in front of their chests and praying, as if they had seen some kind of miracle. The others also bowed their heads and walked forward slowly, as if in front of such a magnificent and magnificent city, just making loud noises was a sin.

   "Okay, so beautiful..."

   Emilia's servant was also dumbfounded at the moment, and stood there blankly, motionless.

   "Okay, let's go."

   Emilia said something in a low voice, and then pulled the little follower who came back to his senses, and followed the priest to continue walking forward.

   However, for them, this is just the beginning.

  When Emilia and the others crossed the bridge and came to the circular square, suddenly, several shadows descended from the sky and slowly fell in front of them. It was wearing armor, holding a sharp blade, with wings growing behind it...

   "God, god, angel?!"

   Not only was his little follower stunned, but even Emilia was greatly surprised. Angels, the spokespersons of the gods, have always lived in Mount Paradise. Unless it is an emergency, angels seldom appear on the main material plane on their own initiative. And in this city, there are actually angels guarding it?

   But, isn’t the Inquisition a godless one?

  Emilia also hurriedly lowered her head, respectfully bowing to the angel in front of her, and at the same time she was secretly puzzled deep in her heart. After all, Duanmuhuai also told them about the beliefs and teachings of the Tribunal, and according to Emilia's education, angels generally serve the gods...but there is no **** in the Tribunal to believe in...? ?

   "Mortal, why are you here?"

   "Hello, noble angel."

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

   "We are the guardians of Tire, and we are invited to come here to meet with the Grand Inquisitor."

   "I see, you come with me."

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

   "Representatives of the temple, please go to the trial court with me, and the others will go to the municipal center to go through the formalities."

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

Following the angel forward, Emilia also carefully looked at the surrounding buildings. The characteristics of this city are really very distinctive. On both sides of the street, there are countless statues erected. Their images are basically the same—— —These warriors were dressed in armor similar to the Night Guard, holding long swords and shields, with wings behind them, wearing helmets, standing silently on both sides of the street, looking like rows of guards.

   Besides this, the most eye-catching thing is the pattern of the skull.

  Almost every door has patterns of skulls and warhammers. They are also silent, full of some kind of indescribable sense of oppression and fear.

  But for Emilia, she noticed another thing.

   That's it - the buildings here are huge.

  That's right, Emilia can see clearly that even the outer door of an ordinary building is quite tall. Although it is not as big as the main entrance of the church, it is nearly two meters high. Moreover, the dark alleys of other cities are completely absent 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 he was in Fortress Heim, Duan Muhuai took so much trouble to enter the door, that he broke through the wall directly afterwards. Of course, considering his height and physique, there is no way. And when he was in Neverwinter, he also complained several times that the roads were difficult to walk and the doors were difficult to enter.

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

   "Pfft."

  Thinking of this, Emilia couldn't help chuckling, and when she heard her laughter, the little follower next to her looked at her curiously, but fortunately, Emilia quickly restrained her smile.

  When they walked in front of the metal church of the trial court, the representatives were all amazed, but Emilia was relieved.

   After walking for so long, I finally saw something I was familiar with.

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

  The meeting place is still the hall, but this time, Emilia did not enter. According to the angel, only representatives of various temples are eligible to enter. So she could only stand in the corridor with her little follower. The latter stared wide-eyed, looking around, apparently dazzled by everything in front of her.

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

   Emilia stared at the door, lost in thought. She didn't know what was going on, but she only knew that Duanmu Huai had sent invitations to the Church of the Gods in the name of the Tribunal, and all the temples that had received the invitation had sent high priests or priests to come. Even some people who would not even attend the king's banquet were also invited to the trial court.

  Mr. Duanmu called these people, what exactly do you want to do?

   In fact, this is also the question of other people.

   "We have come, Mister Inquisitor."

  In the hall, representatives of various temples stood there, watching Duanmuhuai sitting on a chair.

   "Excuse me, what is the purpose of calling us here?"

   "Are they all here?"

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

   "Since you're all here, let's show up, there's no point in wasting time."

   "—————!"

  Just as Duanmu Huai finished speaking, suddenly, dazzling brilliance descended from the sky, shining on these high-ranking priests and priests.

  When the brilliance dissipated, one by one shining figures slowly appeared in front of Duanmu Huai.
