Chapter 690 Serge


    With the reopening of the Lost Land, Arkham immediately became the focus of the entire Sword Coast and even the Northland. On the one hand, this city is indeed quite luxurious and majestic, even surpassing the capital of the entire Faer?n World Kingdom. On the other hand... many churches are in Arkham City and have begun to build their own church power.


    Of course, generally speaking, it is not surprising that such a thing would happen, but the problem is that there are so many temples in Arkham City. It can be said that almost all good and neutral churches of gods have been built in Arkham City. Their temple. There are even rumors that there are temples of evil gods such as Shar and Lauvita in the dark underground corner of this city.


    ?This is a very unusual thing for a new territory, because generally speaking, it is rare for a large number of gods and churches to appear together, which naturally arouses the suspicion and concern of many forces.


    Of course Duanmuhuai knows that the nature of these churches in Arkham is actually equivalent to embassies. So he also followed the example of the embassy and approved sites for these churches based on their applications. Naturally, the buildings above were built by believers of each **** themselves.


    This naturally makes many chambers of commerce make a fortune, although generally speaking, many people do not particularly care about the size of churches and temples.


    But...it''s completely different in Arkham!


    The holiness and majesty brought by this huge Gothic-style city make people''s hearts tremble just looking at it. In this case, if your church or temple is not well built, then it is not for your own family. Is it a smear on the face of the gods?


    Not to mention that this city is currently crowded with various gods and churches. Although most of them are good gods or gods from the neutral camp, who wants to be compared to others!


    So these churches also spent a lot of money, especially wealthy churches like Lathander and Woking, they just threw away gold coins as if they were free, hired the best construction teams, and purchased the best building materials. , demanding that the most gorgeous and noble buildings must be built.


    ??If we use civilization as an analogy, then Arkham City is currently in a religious victory mode.


    Not only that, Arkham City’s unique lifestyle is also the envy of many poor people. Generally speaking, in other cities, it is difficult for poor people to find a job to support their families, let alone buy a house. However, Arkham City''s policy is completely different from elsewhere. In Arkham''s municipal center, as long as poor people find a job and sign a contract, they can automatically be assigned a room, similar to public housing. The rent is automatically deducted from the salary. For example, if a poor man finds a job as a street sweeper in Arkham, he can get a public rental house. As long as he works hard and saves money, he can live at a certain level. day.


    Moreover, the security in Arkham City is also quite good. Although it is not as good as not picking up leftovers on the street and keeping the house closed at night, there are very few security cases that occur. This is also normal. There are angels flying in the sky. How can ordinary thieves have such courage? Do it in front of the angels.


    Even if they are not afraid of angels, not everyone can withstand the ruthless iron fist of the Night Guard.


    Because of this, Arkham City immediately attracted the attention of many wealthy businessmen and nobles, and many businessmen considered living here - after all, compared to the chaos and danger of other cities, Arkham City This kind of place has good security and is protected by a bunch of gods and churches. If nothing else, it is at least safe.


    “Many chambers of commerce have already applied through diplomatic channels, hoping to purchase land and build estates in Arkham City…”


    “What’s the purpose? We’re not a resort.”


    “Mainly used for the residence of children and their families.”


    “Oh, that makes sense. This is using Arkham City as a safe.”


    Duanmu Huai snorted coldly. Of course, those big nobles and big businessmen would not have such needs. After all, they were all local leaders, the ones who could call the shots in their own territory, so they didn''t have to worry about these problems at all. But it’s hard to say what’s second best, especially since the situation here in the North is complicated. Many people are also worried about whether their family members will be affected. If they can live in Arkham City, if nothing else, at least they will be safe. It''s guaranteed.


    "As usual, tell them that the land in Arkham is owned by the Inquisition. It can only be rented but not sold. It can be leased for a long time. The construction blueprint must be approved before construction can be allowed."


    "yes."


    ?Mistrina nodded and shook the furry ears on the top of her head. The long, silky golden hair and ears of Her Royal Highness the Forest Princess were really beautiful, and Duanmuhuai couldn''t help but want to pinch them.


    “Then there’s the news from Bambi that Shar’s church has been built at No. 13, the underground block, and has been put into use... Is it really okay? Isn’t Shar an evil god?”


    "Fighting against the evil **** is not as simple as a battle between justice and evil. Although Shar is a **** from the evil camp... but she doesn''t want the world to be destroyed. After all, if the world is destroyed, she will either run away or go. I don’t think Shar has any intention of becoming a slave of the Chaos Evil God.”


    ??In fact, those who hate the invasion of the Chaos Evil God the most are the gods from the evil camp. After all, they are considered the local mafia. Your foreign gang wants to annex the local gang. Have you asked us?


    If the gods of the good camp are like government intelligence agencies such as the police or the Secret Service, then the gods of the evil camp are basically mafia gangs. The former have to be scrupulous in doing things, while the latter will not give you anything. Black is good, and if you want me to bow down to you, don’t even think about it!


    In particular, an evil **** with powerful powers like Shar is more similar to the big brother who takes the lead - other younger brothers may change their ways or betray others, but a boss like Shar has no choice but to take one path. It''s dark now.


    ?Hence, Duanmuhuai acquiesced to Shar''s behavior of building a church underground in her home. As long as she did not openly cause trouble and resist the Tribunal, Duanmuhuai would ignore her.


    ??But if she dares to interfere with the affairs of the Tribunal... Haha, I hope this goddess of the night will not be so stupid.


    “There are also applications from the Church of Heim...”


    “Reject directly, not Heim.”


    ? Duanmu Huai waved his hand. The Church of Heim has applied for it several times, but Duanmu Huai will not let these **** come in. The Church of Helm is loved by rulers in other cities because they can help each other maintain law and order and are good dogs.


    ??But Duanmuhuai doesn''t need these good dogs. Aren''t the night guards under him better than this?


    Tyr even came here to express his love for him, but Duanmuhuai really didn''t like Heim at all. This thing is just a piece of shit. He stands on the standpoint of lawful neutrality, and what he does is totally lawful evil. He is acting like a **** and setting up a memorial arch at the same time. It''s disgusting.


    ?In Duanmu Huai''s view, Heim is really not as good as those gods from the evil camp. At least he has the words "I am evil" written on his face. If anyone is fooled, they deserve it. Just like those victims of phone scams, the police can’t stop them and they have to remit money. So what can they do?


    ?The only thing she can do is wait for her to jump off.


    ??Haim is someone who secretly has a lot of male thieves and female prostitutes, but on the surface he claims to be for freedom and democracy.


    How shameless. "There are also applications...from the Zhentarim and the Council of Red Mages of Thayre."


    Mistrina turned the page again.


    “The Zhentarim have requested to establish a stronghold in Arkham City, and the Seer Red Mage Council hopes to establish a trading stronghold belonging to the red mage.”


    “Hmph, let them sneak in and engage in smuggling, right? No approval.”


    ?Duanmu Huai doesn''t want to get involved with the Zhentarim, who are not particular about even drow business as long as they give money, and those red-robed bald people.


    Neither of these is a good thing.


    “One more thing, the Red Robe Mage would like to have a magical exchange with Arkham City…”


    “An is going to do it, right?”


    Seeing Mistrina''s troubled expression, Duanmuhuai immediately knew what the problem was. Things like magic exchange meetings, especially magic exchanges between different worlds, were An''s favorite. Otherwise, Misty Trina would not specifically bring it up after she had already denied it.


    “Yes, Miss An is looking forward to this. She thinks it would be very interesting to have magical exchanges with the red-robed mage.”


    “That’s because she doesn’t know how notorious those bald heads are.”


    Duanmuhuai snorted coldly. The reputation of Serge''s red-robed mage is not much worse than that of the devil in hell, but... this is also a good opportunity.


    “Okay, I approve.”


    Duanmuhuai thought for a moment and nodded.


    “I want to see what those bald men in red robes will use to deceive us.”


    "Next, there are some... well, not so good things."


    "Um?"


    ?Looking at Mistrina hesitating, Duanmuhuai also looked at her curiously.


    “Is there something so difficult to talk about?”


    “No, ah, that’s not it either…it’s just that recently there have been rumors from the outside world, criticizing Arkham City’s policy of not allowing aliens to enter…”


    ?The Lost Lands is the territory of the Tribunal, and Arkham City is the city of the Tribunal, so naturally in accordance with the requirements of the Tribunal, aliens, heretics and demons are not allowed to enter Arkham City. The latter two are easy to say, but the aliens are a bit troublesome. After all, the standard used by the Inquisition to determine whether they are human is the skull, and there are many races in Faer?n with brains that do not look like humans. They are basically blocked when they try to enter the Lost Land. Turned away.


    No wonder these races complain.


    “To **** with them.”


    Duanmuhuai snorted coldly.


    "This is an order from the Tribunal. What others say is their business and has nothing to do with us."


    “Yes, finally...Intelligence collection work is currently in progress, and there is no sign of an invasion similar to that of the Chaos Evil God.”


    “Not now, and not necessarily in the future.”


    Duanmuhuai sighed, and at this moment, the communicator suddenly sounded, and then Aikote''s voice appeared in Duanmuhuai''s ears.


    “Report to Uncle Inquisitor that the reconnaissance fleet has locked the target!”


    "oh?"


    Hearing this, Duanmuhuai''s eyes lit up and he stood up hurriedly.


    “Very good, I’ll go now!”
