Chapter 660 Rock Town


    Under the leadership of the priest, everyone came to a remote corner of the cemetery behind the Temple of Tel. It was covered with green trees and looked quite comfortable. In a corner of the cemetery, Duanmuhuai saw a small tombstone and a small tomb.


    There are also words engraved on it.


    [Poor Lisa, she didn''t even have time to open her eyes to see the world, may she rest in peace]


    "You even named me?"


    "certainly."


    The priest nodded.


    "The soul of the dead without a name cannot go where it should go... Of course, it is difficult to say whether it has a soul."


    "All right."


    Duanmuhuai didn''t say much, then he walked forward, raised his right hand, and under the control of the gravity glove, the soil quickly turned open, and then a small coffin emerged from it. Duanmuhuai put it next to it, then moved his fingers slightly, and opened the lid of the coffin.


    A nauseating breath emerged from it. Looking closely, you can see a baby''s body that has begun to decay inside.


    “Woo……”


    Seeing the corpse and smelling the stench of decay, An and Gureya couldn''t help but take a few steps back, and although Mary frowned, she did not dodge.


    "Aren''t you afraid? Miss Mary?"


    Looking at the way Mary was still burying her head in the notebook, An asked carefully, while Mary hesitated for a moment.


    "Actually... I have seen a lot of similar things in our world with Mr. Duanmu..."


    The disgusting level of the outer **** and the old dominant is far greater than the rotten baby in front of him, and Mary feels numb.


    "Your world is not easy..."


    Hearing Mary''s answer, An looked at her with sympathy and couldn''t speak.


    Duanmu Huai didn''t care about the chattering of the little girl next to him. He stared at the baby''s body in front of him and looked at it.


    Although some places have begun to rot, it can be seen that the baby has traces of a beast-like trace. For example, its fingers are not as fat as ordinary babies, but are dry and thin. This is not because of malnutrition, but more similar to the shape of an eagle claw. Through investigation, it was found that it had a sharp and sharp teeth in its mouth. The toes also show a hoof-like fork.


    Well... According to the standards of the court, the alien has completely disappeared.


    In fact, generally speaking, the judge also relies on teeth to determine whether an abnormal shape. Of course, it is definitely not counted to say that he has lost a tooth, but if he grows sharp teeth, he will be completely expelled from the court and is a type that can be directly burned to death on the spot.


    Because this is obvious - it is the result of subspace erosion.


    Similar to the orcs.


    Duanmuhuai remembered the beastmen in the novice village world. Those beastmen caused the consequences of infant mutation because of the magic wind. They were bipedal creatures with wild beast characteristics and naturally worshiped chaos and evil gods. In the novice village, the orcs belong to the chaotic camp, and they will be killed as soon as they see it.


    So from this sign, giants, orcs, goblins and the like in this world are all excluded from humans. The mouth teeth and the mutated huge skull alone have already shown that they are no longer humans.


    OK, physical mutations are understandable, but the problem is that there is no soul...


    Duanmu Huai looked at the magic consultant next to him.


    "What do you think about this?"


    "Why………?"


    Faced with Duanmu Huai''s inquiry, An and Gureya obviously showed embarrassment. Then they discussed for a while, before they seemed to have made a decision.


    “Generally speaking, whether a baby has a soul is actually a very difficult topic to study.”


    "What, do you mean that babies have no soul before they are born?"


    "Woo... I can''t say that, but according to the college''s records, there is indeed a discussion on this aspect. Some people think that the new soul has entered the mother''s body, so it becomes pregnant. Some people think that before birth, the baby actually has no soul, just like the fingers or hair on a human body. It is not until the first cry at birth that the soul completely enters the body."


    "Do you think it''s possible?"


    "I''m not an expert in soul science..."


    An spread your hands.


    "I have to go to the local area to study the specific situation, at least we can''t draw a conclusion at the moment."


    "So what does Thiel think?"


    Cong An did not get an answer, Duanmu Huai looked at the priest.


    "You should ask Thiel."


    “The God of Justice did not respond to our call.”


    "That''s Tyre himself doesn''t know..."


    "Well………"


    Hearing Duanmu Huai''s muttering to himself, the priest''s expression was a little awkward, but Duanmu Huai didn''t care.


    By the way, Duanmuhuai did not intend to expand the court to collect believers by relying on faith. The reason is very simple - once the power of faith is collected, it is equivalent to having a designated object to worship.


    For example, the God of Justice, everyone knows that he is the God of Justice, and he also knows that he has lost his right hand and is a very clear image of a god. Therefore, when believers pray, the power of faith will flow to the God of Justice, Tyre, and become his power. Of course, this is how it is done whether it is a good **** or an evil god.


    To put it bluntly, for example, the gods on the Feren continent are actually equivalent to the boss of a company. The powerful divine power is a multinational enterprise, and the weak divine power is a local chain store. The so-called **** war is actually similar to a business war. You should defeat the opponent''s company as much as possible, annex it, and expand yourself.


    Like the **** of murder, Prince Cirik of Lies also wrote a Cirik for himself, which is nothing more than the only great true god, and the others are all fake gods. This is essentially the same as when you pour black water on the other party in business wars that other companies'' products are all copycats, and only you are the official authorized genuine version.


    Duanmuhuai’s court is not like this. The court is more like a robber. When your company is opened, I rushed in directly, then wiped out all the money you have accumulated through hard work, and finally burned your company... Duanmuhuai did this to Luo Si.


    And Duanmu Huai did this because... he did not intend to reap the power of faith.


    The reason is very simple, faith requires a name.


    For example, if someone believes in Duanmuhuai, he will pray, "Duanmuhuai, the **** of destruction, give me strength! I am Ximan--!"


    Oh, wrong, Duanmuhuai is not the name of Duanmuhuai in this world - to be precise, it is ID. Yes, Duanmu Huai’s ID is [Little Hammer Hits Your Head].


    So if there are believers of the God of Destruction to call Duanmu Huai, they will shout, "The God of Destruction will hit your head and give me strength! I am Ximan--!"


    …………………


    Well, Duanmu Huai thinks that it is nothing bad to be a robber.


    It proves the importance of giving a serious name again.


    By the way, the court is actually more like a gangster than a robber. While smashing, looting and burning, the other party is lending usury. If the other party uses the services of the court, it means that the soul is bound by the court, and after death, the soul will automatically return to the court.


    Well, it’s a perfect overbearing clause, but if you say it first, it’s your own business whether you listen or not.


    However, Duanmu Huai does not intend to rob believers with other gods in this world.


    The efficiency of fighting business wars is too low, so it is better to directly grab the company and make money quickly. As the saying goes, horses are not fat without night grass, and people are not rich without windfall.


    There are so many local gods in this world who are waiting to be robbed by themselves?


    OK, let’s stop talking.


    “Thank you.”


    Duanmu Huai put the baby''s body back into the coffin, and then nodded to the priest.


    "We will continue to investigate this matter... By the way, for this corpse, I personally recommend that you burn it as soon as possible. It has been eroded by chaos. Just put it here, it may have a bad impact on the surrounding environment."


    "this………"


    Hearing Duanmu Huai''s suggestion, the priest hesitated, but she was silent for a moment and nodded.


    "Well, I will go and make the proposal. I believe Thiel is not willing to let the child exist in such a blasphemous posture. It may be a better ending to disappear in the sacred fire."


    After confirming that this was indeed subspace erosion, Duanmu Huai took the others away from Deepwater City without saying a word and went to Rock Town - for the Inquisition, nothing is more important than investigating subspace erosion and evil **** invasion, especially now that such traces are already present, which is even more so.


    It is not difficult to get to Rock Town itself. Rock Town is located in the east of the Deep Water City. Take a boat from Dagger Beach and go upstream along the Delinbir River. After passing the Noisy Water City, you will come to the Gray Peak Mountains. Behind the Gray Peak Mountains is the Lost Place, and at the foot of the mountain is Rock Town.


    This was once a small town that made a living by mining. It might have been glorious during its most prosperous period, but just like all the resource points that rely on the mountains to eat, when the ore here was hollowed out, Rock Town began to gradually decline.


    But even so, when Duanmuhuai and others came to the front of Rock Town, the thick and hard steel gate could prove the glory of Rock Town in the past.


    But only the afterglow is left.


    And the group was stopped for granted.


    "Who are you?"


    The guards standing in the guard face were pale, holding a crossbow in hand, aiming at Duanmuhuai and others, and shouting loudly.


    "I am Duanmu Huai, the chief judge of the court."


    Duanmu Huai showed his rose knot to the guards. Although he knew that the other party couldn''t understand, the process still had to be done.


    "I came here to investigate the death baby incident that happened here."


    "We have never heard of any court."


    However, at this moment, a man with a beard walked onto the guard post. He stared at Duanmuhuai and spoke coldly.


    "Locke Town does not need help. This town has been closed down and no one is allowed to enter or exit. Please leave!"


    "I think you got it wrong."


    Hearing the man''s answer, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.


    "We are here not to help you. Investigating any incident related to the evil **** of Chaos is the duty of the Inquisition. This is not help or assistance, but a task. Anyone who tries to prevent the Inquisition from conducting an investigation will be regarded as a heretic cult-"


    Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai suddenly held the hammer tightly and waved forward.


    "Kill me!"


    “Ah———!”


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s murderous words, the soldier holding a crossbow on the post was so scared that his legs were weak and he collapsed on the ground. The man stared at Duanmuhuai for a moment, then spoke.


    "Listen to your tone, do you know what''s going on in the town?"


    “We need to go through investigation and understand before we can determine it.”


    “………………”


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s answer, the man was silent for a moment, and then raised his hand.


    "Open the door and let them in."


    "But, but the mayor..."


    "This is an order!"


    Soon, the originally closed steel door slowly opened, Duanmuhuai and others walked into the town, and then the door closed again behind them, as if there was a terrible devil chasing them behind them.


    At the same time, within the city wall, a group of fully armed soldiers were already holding weapons, looking at Duanmuhuai and others uneasy and cautiously. Judging from their equipment, these soldiers were just local militias and did not have much combat experience. In fact, they were already trembling when they stood here just to face Duanmuhuai. Mary really suspected that Duanmuhuai would roar and run away immediately.


    Then the soldiers separated, and the bearded man who had spoken before walked in.


    "I am Glenza Brown, the mayor of Rock Town."


    The man who claimed to be the mayor stared at Duanmuhuai and spoke carefully, but his expression was extremely haggard and looked frowning.


    "Although it is not the time, you are still welcome to Rock Town."
