Chapter 700 Star Words


    Before stepping into this door, the two imagined many scenes, but none of them would be more shocking than before their eyes - the dome shining with golden light, the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the burning stars and the dark universe outside, which made the two of them stunned, just standing there blankly, looking at everything in front of them, almost unable to believe their eyes.


    "This is the Inquisition, Charlie, Asherika."


    At this moment, Mary also spoke beside the two, and there was a little more pride in her voice.


    “Welcome to the Court of Justice.”


    “…………”


    The two of them did not speak. They slowly shifted their eyes and looked around. Then they stretched out their hands and rubbed their eyes. Then they turned their heads in horror and looked at Mary, as if the one who was beside them was not their friend, but a stranger.


    "What''s going on? Mary? Are you really Mary? Where are we?"


    "Of course it''s me, thank you."


    Looking at Asherika''s pale little face, Mary smiled slightly.


    "Believe me, I was as surprised as you guys when I first came here."


    "So... are you working here?"


    Xia Li blinked and looked around.


    "Yes, Mr. Duanmu said he needed my strength, and... I also needed strength."


    "Your power? Mary, what power do you have?"


    Facing his friend''s inquiry, Mary pointed to her right eye.


    "That golden eye? But isn''t that a disease?"


    "That''s not a disease, and I don''t know what to say, but it does have unique power..."


    Speaking of this, Mary smiled bitterly.


    “Anyway, let’s talk while walking.”


    With the two, Mary walked out of the teleportation room. In the corridor, she told the two about her series of experiences of joining the Inquisition (of course, the part of Charlie was omitted). For Charlie and Asherika, they could hardly believe everything they heard, but the shocking scene in front of them and the cold steel floor under their feet reminded them that this was not a dream.


    "So...is this a cosmic organization?"


    Ashelica first came to her senses, then lay down to the window and looked out.


    "So that''s the sun? Are we in the solar system now? Where is the earth?"


    "This is not the solar system. We are currently in the Realm God Galaxy, a place far away from the solar system..."


    "The Realm God Galaxy?"


    Hearing this, Xia Li was stunned for a moment, came to her senses and looked at Mary.


    "Isn''t that the world in your novel? Are all the things you write in your novel true?"


    Yes, after publishing the first edition of the novel about the family of the old gods, Mary''s second novel is about the story of the Inquisition and the Star League fighting against the Reapers. This novel caused a lot of sensation as soon as it was published. First of all, it was because in the field of science fiction, it was still male-dominated, and it was rare for Mary to write best-selling science fiction novels as a girl.


    Secondly, some concepts adopted in Mary''s science fiction novels made many scientific experts who study the interstellar universe lit up, believing that this is an interstellar sociology that is enough to guide humans in the future of interstellar navigation - well, this is also nonsense, because Mary basically sets the rules and systems of the star alliance, and the star alliance is a pure human civilization. It can be said that if Mary''s world enters the era of interstellar travel in the future, she might use Mary''s novels to formulate rules and regulations.


    Of course, there are reds and blacks. Many book reviewers pointed out that the organization of the Inquisition, which is the protagonist, is too xenophobic. Human supremacy is an evil dictatorial idea in the universe, and thus believe that Mary has some evil dictatorial tendencies...


    But Mary doesn''t care about this, she doesn''t care. Because she is currently in the court most of her time, except for following Duanmu Huai''s actions, Mary writes the manuscript in the court, and then takes it back to her own world and hand it over to the editor. As long as there is no major change, she basically ignores it. As for things like royalties... well, Mary is indeed very rich now, but unfortunately her money is useless in the court.


    "certainly."


    Hearing his friend''s inquiry, Mary nodded.


    "Strictly speaking, what I wrote is not science fiction, but documentary literature. What I actually did is to follow Mr. Duanmu, record every move of the court, and then process the literature and then publish it... You see, it is similar to Watson beside Sherlock Holmes."


    “Documentary literature……”


    Hearing this, Charlie was also shocked. As Mary''s best friend, she reads Mary''s first novel every time she published a novel. Of course, there is no need to say that Mary''s writing is delicate and gentle, but the content about the Inquisition is indeed too cruel and even cruel in Charlie''s opinion. For example, in the face of the threat of an enemy named Reaper, the Inquisition did not choose to cross the differences of races like many novels, and unite to fight against foreign enemies. Instead, she waited for the Reaper to destroy other interstellar races in the Castle Council, and then launched an attack, resisted and eventually eliminated the Reaper.


    This paragraph is also a huge reason for controversy. After all, most similar works talk about uniting and unanimously exchanging their competitors. Such plots of allowing the enemy to destroy their competitors are generally done by villains.


    When it was published, Xia Li still remembered that the Fog Metro Times published book reviews almost every day, which were basically divided into two factions. One faction believed that the ending of Mary''s novel was a bit too cruel and did not conform to the main theme values. And if you act with this value, the organization called the Inquisition will eventually be destroyed.


    The other faction scoffed at this and praised Mary for interpreting the concepts of human beings and the universe from a new perspective. After all, if not one of our race, his heart will be different. It would be fine if everyone looks similar on the same planet. But why be so polite from those aliens who look different and have completely different bodies? What''s more, it was a time when races were alive. If humans were not protected, would we have to sacrifice humans to protect alien races?


    Gradually, the scope of this discussion became wider and wider. At first it was just a discussion between book fans and science fiction literature, but gradually this became a serious topic of how humans coexist with other races in the universe, and more and more people were involved. Even in master''s colleges, many professors and teachers argue endlessly about this.


    The reporters also wanted to find the original author Mary and ask her about her ideas, but unfortunately they couldn’t find anyone - of course they couldn’t find it. Just as the reporter was rummaging through the entire fog, Mary was taking a risk by Duanmuhuai, so she wouldn’t care about the ideas of these paparazzi.


    At that time, Charlie and Asherika were also worried about Mary''s concern. After all, many people only got angry at the original author when they debated. In addition, Mary was a woman and was weak, so all kinds of sarcastic and dirty water that didn''t cost money were poured on her. At that time, the newspapers every day could make the two of them so angry that they wanted to jump off the building. They were afraid that Mary would be unable to think about it, so they chose to commit suicide.


    At that time, Mary said she was fine, and because after that, she would call the two of them to report their safety every time, so the two of them thought that Mary might have been hiding somewhere else.


    Now it seems that she has indeed hid somewhere else, but this place is really unexpected.


    But if this is true... then the court...


    Xia Li looked at Mary with some concern. From Mary''s writing, she could see that the Inquisition was a cold, cruel and powerful organization. They regard human beings as the supreme being, and regard all races different from human beings as threats and potential threats to human beings, and do not fear genocide in any way. To be honest, Xia Li only felt fear and terror when she was studying, but now, when she was in this magnificent hall, Xia Li suddenly felt a feeling similar to enlightenment.


    It was as if my vision was suddenly opened, and everything in front of me seemed to be different.


    Even the court of judges, which they originally thought were rough and cruel, seemed so sacred and solemn, as if their existence itself represented the truth.


    "Charlie? What''s wrong with you?"


    Looking at her friend in a daze, Mary asked curiously, and when she heard Mary''s voice, Xia Li was stunned for a moment and then came to her senses.


    "Oh, nothing, but it''s all too unexpected."


    “Yes, the Inquisition does look magnificent.”


    Mary didn''t think much about her friend''s abnormality. After all, Charlie was not the first to be shocked by the grandeur of the Inquisition.


    "So, Mary, what job are you doing here?"


    Xia Li coughed lightly, asking as if to change the subject, while Mary thought for a moment.


    "Most of the time I collect materials and organize materials for the next novel, and then when Mr. Duanmu asks me to take risks together, I will go."


    "Adventure?"


    Hearing this, Asherika suddenly widened her eyes.


    "What kind of adventure? Is it dangerous?"


    "Uh... there are still some dangers, but you don''t have to be afraid of those threats around Mr. Duanmu."


    Speaking here, Mary smiled slightly.


    "And I have learned a lot of new knowledge."


    At this time, Asherika became excited.


    "Do you still want to tell interstellar stories?"


    "This time is a fantasy adventure story. We are currently fighting in a world with dragons, demons and gods."


    Mary didn''t care about sharing this knowledge with her friends.


    “When everything is over, I will write it into a book.”


    “Dragon and magic?”


    Sure enough, when Ashelica heard this, her eyes glowed.


    "Can we go to that world to see it? I haven''t seen what real magic looks like!"


    “……I can take you to see.”


    Of course, Mary understood the impatient feeling of the two of them. In fact, this is no different from her original mood. No child who grew up living in fog has never heard of a similar story. And when such a world really appears in front of them, they will definitely want to experience it.


    But just as Mary was about to take the two of them to the portal leading to Arkham, a burst of rapid footsteps came.


    "Miss Mary, is it Miss Mary?"


    Mary and others turned their heads and saw a girl trotting towards her. She looked just a child, her eyes were closed and bandaged, but she was not like a blind man at all, running forward at a rapid speed.


    "This is Miss Tong, a star talker..."


    Mary whispered to the two of them, then turned her head and looked at her pupil.


    "Tong, are you doing something?"


    "Please report to the judge."


    Tong was panting and clenched his hands.


    “I received a message from the Sea of ??Soul.”


    Duanmu Huai doesn’t know where he has heard this sentence, that is, in a place like a police station, a fire brigade or a hospital, you can’t say that you are too idle, otherwise you will definitely be busy next time.


    Well, now he found that he really couldn''t live a few leisurely days.


    “Signal from subspace?”


    “Yes, Lord Judge.”


    Standing in front of Duanmuhuai, Tong lowered her head.


    "I received a signal from the depths of the sea of ??souls. A forged world was attacked by aliens and asked for support."


    "Can confirm the time...well, it''s impossible."


    Duanmuhuai was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head and joked that talking about time in Asia Space is a fantasy.


    But casting the world...


    Duanmu Huai started to think.


    "Sir, do we need to attack?"


    Aikot looked at Duanmuhuai and asked, while Duanmuhuai shook his head.


    "Don''t hurry."


    "Hey? No hurry? But..."


    "There is no concept of time in the sub-space. It is true that Tong has received this message for help, but this does not mean that the message was just sent. It may have been sent a few years ago, decades ago, hundreds of years ago, thousands of years ago... or even thousands of years later."


    Duanmu Huai said here, but he made a decision.


    "How about it, a casting world is worth my visit. Let those Gisyanki **** live a little longer. Although it is unlikely, it would be great if I could find something good in the casting world..."


    Although Duanmuhuai doesn''t think that the empire has been destroyed for so long, and a forged world can survive, even if it is a destructive forged world, it is a forged world. Maybe it can get something good if you do it.


    "Prepare a reconnaissance fleet."


    Duanmu Huai made a decision.


    "I''ll go and see the situation in person... Speaking of Mary, what''s going on with those two?"


    Duanmuhuai curled his lips at the door, while Mari was a little embarrassed.


    "Uh, I told you before that they were worried about me, so I wanted them to see... Can I go to Arkham City?"


    "Of course, just be careful."


    Duanmu Huai didn''t care, so he gave a few instructions casually, then turned around and walked out of the hall. It was not until Duanmuhuai left that Mary breathed a sigh of relief, and then she came to Asherika and Charlie again.


    "Okay, I''ll take you to Arkham City...Charlie?Charlie?"


    It was not until this time that Mary realized that her friend was staring at Duanmu Huai''s back as he was leaving, and couldn''t help but shout in confusion. When Xia Li was stunned when she heard Mary''s shouting, she came to her senses.


    "Ah, what''s the matter?"


    "What''s wrong with Mr. Duanmu?"


    "No, it''s nothing, I just want to say hello to him... Mary, what''s wrong? Where is Mr. Duanmu going?"


    "Just going to investigate another world is not a big deal."


    “………”


    Hearing Mary''s answer, Charlie was silent for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Mary.


    “Can we go together too?”


    "Why?"


    The proposal that Xia Li suddenly made not only surprised Asherika, but also surprised Mary.


    "This... cannot be done. Although it is a reconnaissance, there may be danger and battles. I don''t think Mr. Duanmu will agree to your request."


    “That’s right…”


    Hearing Mary''s answer, Charlie lowered her head in disappointment, and looking at Charlie''s appearance, Mary and Asherika looked at each other.


    What''s wrong with her?
