Chapter 695 Autumn rest
After this, Duanmu Huai had a rare leisure time. Motarian was dead, at least for the time being, there was no threat to Torrell. Of course, this is only the recent, but for Duanmuhuai, it can be counted as a period of time now.
Although Duanmu Huai is now like a salted fish in Arkham''s castle, in fact, the entire inquisition has completely begun to operate in an orderly manner.
Liumier and Ackler are responsible for monitoring the situation of Star Alliance. Liumier has been lurking in the Star Alliance network, looking for traces of possible invasion by chaos, while Ackler will be responsible for personally going to investigate - they were originally doing similar tasks, but they were very skilled.
In addition, other members have also taken similar actions.
Pupil.
The Star Word Slave that Duanmu Huai originally bought from Xingshanglangren was almost always a transparent person before, which is normal. In order to avoid alarming the snake, Duanmu Huai strictly forbidden Tong to use her innate Star Word Slave ability to sneak into the sea of ??souls. However, now it is different, the seal is gradually weakening. Motarian is the first, but it will not be the last demonic primordial to try to counterattack the material world of the Milky Way again. Therefore, Duanmu Huai also canceled Tong''s ban. The girl''s current job is to close her eyes and meditate in Xingyu Court to detect abnormal fluctuations from the subspace.
After all, even after so many years, the communication methods between the Chaos Fleet have not changed. Therefore, as long as you can grasp the spiritual reaction from the depths of the sea of ??souls, you can almost guess what the other party wants to do.
Tong also showed great enthusiasm for this task. Since she came to the court, she has been studying most of her time. Of course, Duanmu Huai also made Lani the teacher of this Xingyu. The former has a deep understanding of magic in the universe and starry sky, and is also very interested in the extraordinary talent of the Xingyu. Therefore, Lani teaches the magic of the Xingyu sky while studying the special psychic power of the Xingyu.
Unfortunately, according to Tong, she did not see the brilliance of the star torch that shook people and illuminated everything in the sea of ??soul. The entire sea of ??souls is still dark and silent, as calm as the sea under the gloomy night.
The monitoring of the network and psychic energy has been fully opened. Although the court is extremely calm at the moment, it is more like the peace before the war comes. Once any party discovers abnormal movement, the war machine will start and fire without hesitation, knock all targets into pieces.
The Inquisition also seized this gap and began to create large quantities of warships again to supplement the loss of the battle between the Reaper and the Universe Monsters. Of course, there are also changes. For example, Duanmuhuai ordered that all destroyer energy cores be modified from antimatter reactors to shrinkage furnaces. Although the energy supply of the shrinkage furnace is relatively limited, Duanmuhuai is interested in the micro black holes generated when the shrinkage furnace undergoes a shrinkage reaction.
Simply put, if you can''t beat it, you can send a few destroyers to sneak into the network, rush directly into the enemy fleet and then retract and create a micro black hole. Judging from the previous results of dealing with cosmic monsters, this thing is still very good to use as a weapon.
Of course, it is not easy to manufacture a shrinkage furnace. Even if it is the strength of the court, it is very difficult to mass-produce it in large quantities. However, Duanmuhuai does not need to mass-produce things that can blow the center of the universe into a large black hole...
Well... Considering just in case, maybe I should try it myself?
After all, facing chaos, no matter how strong the firepower is, it is not an exaggeration.
Duanmuhuai sat on the balcony, overlooking the scenery below. It was early autumn now. Looking around, the trees in Arkham City were already mixed with red and green. Many people walked on the streets, and they looked very peaceful and lively.
"It looks good."
Duanmuhuai picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. Ojisi sat beside him, staring at the book in his hand. At the same time, there was a melodious violin music echoing in their ears.
That was not the sound from the speaker or phonograph, but from the girl playing the violin on the other side. Mary closed her eyes, her fingers gently pulling the strings, playing a melodious and soft tune.
I have to say that as a daughter-in-law, Mary is indeed versatile in this regard. Soon, the song was finished, and Duanmu Huai also raised her hands and clapped her hands.
“Good performance, Mary.”
"Thank you, Mr. Duanmu."
Mary put down the violin and smiled embarrassedly at Duanmu Huai.
"This is indeed difficult, but I think I have grasped the rhythm."
"Well, it''s a talent, I can''t get this thing."
Duanmu Huai said while spreading her hands out - Mary''s playing here was not just a whim. In fact, she is trying her new career now.
Barriage.
This is a relatively interesting profession on the Feren Continent. Its combat power is average, but it is very comprehensive. But the most interesting thing is that the bard can release magic and skills by playing music. To be honest, this kind of middle-aged and cool way is indeed in line with the idea of ??the literary girl Mary. Therefore, after seeing the performance of those bards, Mary couldn''t wait to become one of them.
After all, this kind of profession that can play gracefully during combat, release magic to confuse the enemy, and at the same time can fight in close combat, look elegant and beautiful.
Duanmuhuai did not object to this, and there were many minstrels living in Arkham City. He introduced one of the respected female minstrels to be Mary''s teacher, and Mary also learned very quickly.
The only flaw is...
"It''s a pity that I can''t use the magic spell..."
Speaking of this, Mary seemed very depressed. What she likes most about bards is that if they use magic spells when they play, they can create lifelike illusions and turn music into reality to present them to the audience. This ability makes Mary very jealous.
Unfortunately, Mary cannot use all the magic spells.
Duanmu Huai of course knew what the reason was. Mary''s golden eyes were simply an enhanced version of the real vision, and all phantoms did not exist in front of her. So there is nothing we can do about Mary''s spells that are immune to the illusion and confusion.
And for granted, she could no longer cast magic spells.
"But aren''t you doing a great job in energy-plastic systems?"
"Woo... I don''t actually like the energy system so much..."
Looking at the depression on Mary''s face, Duanmu Huai burst into laughter. Of course, he understood why Mary complained so much. The energy-shaping system is also called the Five Fireball God Sect or the barbarian of the power-shaping system by players because it is simple, direct and rough. The so-called barbarians in the mage refer to the energy-shaping system.
Of course, Mary doesn''t set fireballs simply and roughly, but she has a high level of attainment in sonic waves. She can break rocks and iron by playing the violin at will... Well, if you just look at the literal meaning, you can understand why Mary is resentful about herself. After all, isn''t this like saying that her performance is beyond imagination?
Just like a fat tiger who can shake the glass by singing.
“By the way, Mr. Duanmu.”
After complaining a few little words, Mary seemed to have thought of something and looked at Duanmu Huai with a little embarrassed look. "Huh? What''s the matter?"
"I would like to ask... can I invite Charlie and Asherika to the court for a look?"
Speaking of this, Mary was a little nervous.
"Your two good friends? Why did you suddenly think of talking about this?"
“Uh…because when I was having tea with them before, both of them thought I had changed a lot, so I wanted to see what job I was doing…”
Speaking here, Mary looked down at herself in confusion.
"But I don''t think I''ve changed much??"
"It is difficult for people to look at themselves objectively."
Duanmu Huai smiled and of course he understood what Mary was wondering. In Mary''s opinion, she was still herself, cautious, elegant and polite, and had no changes most of the time. But Duanmu Huai knew that this was not the case. In any case, Mary had followed her through several battlefields, facing the old dominators and destroying the core of the Reaper. If such a person wants to say that he is an ordinary person, then the real ordinary person is basically a group of insects.
Maybe Mary herself didn''t notice it, but in fact she had a bit of the iron-blooded taste and temperament of the Inquisition. You should know that Mariko is different from Ann, Gureya and others. She comes from a relatively peaceful world that has not experienced war and people will not encounter danger in normal times. Now Mary is already a veteran of all kinds of battles. Even though her behavior is the same as before, the aura she exudes is still very easy to make people feel different.
This is like an ordinary person standing in front of an iron-blooded soldier, even if the other person smiles, he will easily feel nervous.
Maybe she still smiles and behaves politely when she drinks tea and chats with her friends on weekdays. However, when danger comes, her friends may be so scared that they are trembling and slumped to the ground, while Mary can calmly pull out her long sword to deal with it - this is the difference.
"It doesn''t matter, you can do it. It''s good to take them to see Arkham City."
"Hey... I still think the name of Thousand Towers City sounds better."
Hearing this, Mary suddenly complained. At that time, Duanmuhuai clearly said she wanted Mary to name the city, but Mary racked her brains to give a bunch of names, and all of them were beaten back by Duanmuhuai. In the end, Mary had no choice but to accommodate Duanmu Huai and used the name Arkham City...
"It''s just a name, it doesn''t matter."
"But Mr. Duanmu didn''t say that before..."
Mary complained a little. When Duanmuhuai handed over this task to her before, she said that the name was the face of a city and asked her to think carefully and not to embarrass the court.
As a result, it turns out to be a name by yourself, and it doesn''t matter...
Sometimes this gentleman''s ability to cheat really makes her amazed.
"Report."
Just as Duanmu Huai was chatting with Marie, Mistrina walked in. She saluted the two of them first before speaking.
"What''s the matter? Mistrina?"
Looking at the forest princess in front of her, Duanmu Huai also slightly restrained her expression and sat up again. After the initial chaos, Arkham City has now gotten on track. Because the regulations of the Court of Justice are very clear and the law is very strict. With the dual deterrence of the Dark Night Guard and the Angels, there are basically no one who dares to make trouble here.
So after Duanmu Huai decided on the general direction, Mistrina could handle many things herself.
“There is a report from the Blade of Judgment.”
"oh?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai lifted his spirits.
After the Inquisition acquired this territory, locals naturally need to maintain public security, patrol and fight. Therefore, Duanmuhuai formed a unit called Judgment Blade based on the structure of the Inquisition, which was a role similar to the Imperial Auxiliary Army. Their main task is to assist in guarding Arkham City and the entire Inquisition territory, while investigating the surrounding situation and eliminating all evil existences that threaten humanity.
This army is basically composed of people from Feilun''s natives, most of which are soldiers from other territories, as well as some adventurers, as well as paladins, priests and priests from various temples. After all, although the Inquisition seems to be a religious institution, they do not believe in gods, and Duanmu Huai does not need to draw strength from his faith, so he and the God of Feren have no essential conflict of interest.
This army is quite competent at present, and the pressure of the Judgment Court is nothing more than saying. In addition, there are really gods in this world, and no one wants their souls to be dragged into **** after death. In addition, the reward of the Judgment Blade is very high, so everyone is willing to stay here.
But for Duanmuhuai, this army is more like a scout, investigating everywhere and then seeing where to activate what event.
Now it seems that this is a reward?
"The Fifteenth Squad of Judgment Blade discovered a strange cult organization in the nearby mountains. They believed that they were limited in strength, so they asked the Tribunal for support."
“What’s specific?”
"There is a high probability that they are facing a true god."
"Oh? That''s interesting."
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai''s eyes lit up.
"Then I''ll go over and take a look."
