"Okay, everyone, we all know what we're here for."

The warrior stared at the people in front of him, his expression serious and serious.

"An unexplained explosion occurred in the Lost Land, and we are now going to investigate what happened there. I think everyone is already clear."

"The rocks are on top. That explosion almost buried our clan's nest! Now my people are still digging rocks. If you let me know who did this, I will definitely smash his head! Let him know How terrible is the wrath of the dwarves!”

The dwarf waved the battle ax in his hand angrily and complained loudly. His movement was so big that other people nearby moved away from the crazy dwarf, for fear that the other party's ax would accidentally hit him.

"I must find out who did such a crazy thing!"

"According to the information we have obtained, it is a tall steel demon wearing terrifying armor."

The elf ranger standing on the other side whispered, holding the long bow in her hand with a serious expression.

"If the intelligence is true, then we may face unimaginable dangers."

"You mean a crisis like Hellgate Castle?"

The mage next to her interjected, and the elf's expression was a little embarrassed, but she still nodded slightly.

Hell Gate Castle can be regarded as one of the biggest dark histories of the Supreme Forest. This starts from that year. At that time, the Supreme Forest was completely the territory of the elves, and these elves were far from being as pure and arrogant as humans imagined. Like their distant relatives, the Eldar, they do whatever they catch, in short, they do it, no matter what race they are, they do it day or night, they do it no matter where they are——otherwise you think this is everywhere Where did so many half-elves in the mainland come from?

Could it be that it jumped out of the cracks in the rocks?

Half-elves are almost becoming a race. Whose fault is this?

If the giant hadn't been too big to handle, these damn elves might even have produced a half-elf giant!

The consequence of being careless was that demons took the form of humans and mixed in, partying with the elves, and then a race called demon elves was born. This race is not like half-elves, although they have demons flowing in their bodies. blood, but looks no different from ordinary elves. Moreover, these demon elves knew their destiny from birth, so they disguised themselves as ordinary elves and desecrated this forest in accordance with the requirements of their fathers who were far away in hell.

Finally, they took advantage of an elf festival and opened a portal to Baator Hell in a fortress. A large number of demons came out of the portal and wreaked havoc. This disaster almost affected the entire Northland. Later, everyone worked together. Only then did they drive these demons back to Baator Hell, and at the same time completely seal the Hell Gate Castle.

After that, the demon elves were exiled, and the number of elves was greatly reduced due to the Battle of Hell Gate Castle. They finally understood the dangers of being cold and unrestrained, and began to seclude themselves in the country and have sex with close relatives.

Of course, as time goes by, most short-lived races have long forgotten how the elves used to be wild and caused trouble. Most of the legends record only that some elves were seduced by the devil and fell, and then opened the portal to cause disasters. ——As for how he fell, he never mentioned it.

Only the elves themselves still remember that tragic black history, which is why the elves are now as stoic in the outside world as the nuns in the monastery.

At least in case someone asks, "Didn't you elves do it with a glass of wine just like standing in Bichi Street?" You can hold a rosary in your hand and pronounce the Buddha's name, "Amitabha, monks don't lie. I can't hear what the donor is saying." Understand..."

Well, you can still pretend, right?

Of course, for elves, this is a dark history that cannot be looked back upon, so even if others don’t know it, as long as the other party mentions that period of history, they will reflexively... Well, okay, a kind of self-psychological defense. , it’s like a good lady planning to delete all the previous contacts in her phone to show that nothing happened, which is understandable.

"Everyone who comes here, I think everyone is familiar with it."

The warrior glanced at the crowd.

"You are all well-known adventurers in the North. Oh, by the way, there are these four... They are the heroes who saved Neverwinter City, strong men who have successfully returned from the Dark Territory!"


As he spoke, the warrior stretched out his hand and pointed at the four people next to him. They were Emilia, Cassim, Rosia...and Luo Qixi.

"Hey, good guys, I didn't expect you guys to be here too."

Seeing the four people, other adventurers were also quite surprised. They were all well-known adventurers, but there were only a few who had saved a city. At this time, everyone gave warm applause, and Emilia and others He also hurriedly returned the gift.

"Finally, there is the representative of Waterdeep City, the priest Dolfin from the Temple of Helm..."

"…………"

When a man wearing iron armor and holding a war hammer came up and saluted everyone, the originally lively atmosphere suddenly came to a standstill. Many adventurers looked at the Helm priest in front of them speechlessly, with unhappy expressions on their faces. Even Emilia and the others silently took a few steps back.

After what happened in Neverwinter, they had a psychological shadow on the followers of Helm.

Other adventurers also dislike Heim followers. Heim is known as the Guardian Eye. He is mainly responsible for guarding the city most of the time and rarely goes out for adventure. In the eyes of adventurers, these Heim followers are basically rich people. He is a lackey of the authorities, and the followers of Heim don't like these adventurers who break the rules at every turn. The two sides don't like each other very much.

As for the mage…………

"Hmph."

The mage who was smiling just now looked at Priest Heim, his face suddenly turned cold, and he snorted coldly.

They have not forgotten who killed the Magic Goddess.

"Let's go."

Although it was quiet, they still had to do what needed to be done, so the group of people set off in a hurry, heading towards the Lost Land.

At the end of the team, Kasim and Rosia quietly approached Emilia.

"Miss Emilia, that should be the Inquisitor, right?"

"I think...it should be, right?"

Yes, that's why they joined this adventure. Originally, Emilia and others planned to stay at Baldur's Gate for a while to see if Duanmu Huai would come back, but they encountered the Lost Land. There was a big explosion, and then Baldur's Gate issued a reward, hoping that someone could go to the Lost Land to investigate. When Emilia and others learned that this incident was probably related to a tall steel demon wearing black armor... ...Well, they know who to look for.

"What is he doing in the Lost Land? And making such a big noise?"

Kasim looked confused. No one else knew how powerful the Inquisition was, but they knew. Just kidding, they were ruthless guys who chased and killed all the drow in the Underdark. Even the Spider Queen Rose was killed. How about blowing up an open space? Already?

Others can't do it, but Duanmu Huai... well, he might actually be able to do it.

"If it were really the Inquisitor, I think it might be worse."

Cassim secretly glanced at the priest of Helm walking in front and complained in a low voice. They are no longer fledgling boys. At least after leaving Neverwinter, they have traveled to many places. They know that the followers of Heim are really stubborn and disgusting, and Emilia is Tyr's. Paladin, so those Helm followers gave her some face, but for ordinary adventurers, Helm followers... were really unbearable.

Stubborn, rigid, with eyes high above the head, like a loyal guard dog, barking at everything except wagging its tail at its owner.

"If this stupid Helm priest says something, I think we need to consider how to report to the Helm Temple why their priest's head is stuck on the wall."

"………………"

As witnesses who had personally witnessed how Duanmu Huai dealt with Deszell, Emilia and Rosia nodded.

"Hey..."

Emilia also sighed tiredly. Thiel and Heim were not from the same camp. Thiel was lawful good and Heim was lawful neutral. But at least they could be considered colleagues. When she thought that this would happen to her, Emilia was filled with despair.

As for stopping Duanmu Huai? Well, Amelia feels that she can only do her best...

Of course, the most desperate thing is…………

"Why should I come with you too!"

Following the three of them, Luo Qixi almost cried to death. She now finally understands why Duanmu Huai said "there are times when you are unlucky". Indeed, as the hero who saved Neverwinter City, Luo Qixi had good food, sleep and fun in Neverwinter City, and also had a large sum of money. The lord's mage advisor salary can be collected, and the lord also promised that she can build her own mage tower!

Luo Qixi now only feels that she is living a life that even gods would not change.

The result——just when she was indulged in her comfortable life, with a bang, the Lost Land exploded.

So, as "the hero who once saved Neverwinter", shouldn't you take the lead and go to see the situation? Now Luo Qixi finally understands that not a single gold coin in the salary she received was in vain!

This money is really hot!

Luo Qixi regretted it, but it was too late. Fortunately, when she packed her bags and came to Silver Moon City, she saw the figures of her companions - Luo Qixi almost cried when she saw Emilia and others. .

If I had known that she would follow the example of Kasim and Rosha, it would not be better than asking for a large sum of money to fly far away?

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world.

In this way, a team composed of elite adventurers from various cities set out from Silvermoon City and moved along the Adventurer Avenue towards the Lost Land. They didn't encounter too many enemies along the way. After all, most people would definitely avoid them when they saw such an elite team. However, in the end, their progress was blocked.

By a huge iron gate.

"What is this???"

Everyone in the expedition team looked at the iron gate in front of them with confused expressions, while Priest Heim held the Holy Emblem tightly, his face serious and ashen.

"This is blasphemy!!"

"Uh..."

Looking at the door in front of them, Emilia and others were speechless for a moment. The steel door in front of them was completely black, and the golden trim made it look a bit artistic, but in the center of the door was a huge inlaid A pure white skull pattern with a warhammer standing behind it was a symbol that Amelia and others were familiar with. They had seen similar decorations in Duanmuhuai's mage's mansion - that was the symbol of the Inquisition.

After all, this symbol is so distinct that no one can forget it at a glance.

Okay, but Emilia has to admit that if a person who doesn't know the truth sees this thing, he will definitely think that it is some kind of terrifying organization that worships evil gods.

Such as murdering Prince Cyric or something...

"This must be the work of Cyric's church!"

Sure enough, the next moment, the priest of Helm started shouting madly.

Well, considering that the Holy Symbol of the Murdered Prince is a glowing skull, it's not unreasonable.

"But it doesn't look like Cyric's mark."

As Heim's eternal enemy—meaning an enemy who would never give up until Heim was killed once, the mage quickly gave a different opinion.

"Cyric's holy symbol doesn't look like this, and there's no hammer behind their symbol."

"So what you're saying is that what's hiding behind this door is not Cyric's sinister, despicable and cunning followers, but a group of barbarians?"

The priests of Helm sneered at the mage's remarks - they had no compunction about the god they believed in killing the goddess of magic, and even passed it down as an example: Look, even the goddess of magic died while doing her duty faithfully. Under Heim's sword, this shows that the power of guardianship is unstoppable!

Well, it was lucky for the Mages Association that they didn't blow up the Helm Temple directly.

But this does not mean that they will not attack a Helm priest face to face.

"Aha, I think you have the same narrow vision as the stupid idiot you believe in, so you can't see the vastness of this world."

The mage sneered.

"In fact, the barbarians in the wilderness are much smarter than you idiots who only know how to hide behind the city wall and pray for Heim's mercy to help you tie your feet. Although they are dangerous, they are not stupid. And you... …Hehe…”

"What did you say? How dare you insult Heim?"

"You're here if you're not afraid of death? Am I afraid of you?"

The mage raised his staff, the priest of Helm raised his staff, and the others took a step back.

To be honest, they had no intention of stepping forward to stop him. They just hoped that this boring quarrel could end as soon as possible, or if the mage accidentally did something with his hand, they could just pretend they didn't see it.

Only Emilia hesitated. As a Paladin of Tyr, she seemed not to be watching the show from the sidelines now...

Fortunately, at this moment, the steel door slowly opened, preventing this boring fight. Everyone turned their heads and were shocked - behind the steel gate, several tall steel warriors holding strange saws were standing there. Their eyes were shining with scarlet brilliance, and each of them was filled with murderous thoughts. meaning.

"Well, I'm sure they are definitely not followers of Cyric."

At this time, the elf ranger also took a step back, nervously holding the long bow, and whispered to himself at the same time. Cyric is the god of murder, but his followers are not a straight-faced army. These are more like the subordinates of Bane, the god of tyranny. These adventurers can tell at a glance that the Iron Warriors in front of them have strict military discipline and good advance and retreat. They are not comparable to Cyric's group of mad killers.

That kind of discipline, fearless spirit and killing intent, even if there are only a few dozen soldiers, give them the illusion of standing in front of thousands of troops, as if they only have a few people now, facing the enemy with bare hands. Like an entire heavily armed army, almost everyone felt some unimaginable and terrible pressure.

But no matter what, when you see dozens of terrifying beings wearing black steel armor with golden skulls on them, holding mechanical saws, and looking almost as tall as giants, it's hard not to get nervous.

"Evil!"

The appearance of the black iron warrior obviously irritated the Helm priest. He turned his head and stared fiercely at the target in front of him.

"You Cyric cultists! How dare you be so rampant in this northern land! In the name of Holy Helm, I..."

"Bang!"

However, before the words of the Helm priest were finished, there was a deafening loud noise, and the next moment everyone saw the upper body of the Helm priest explode. His waist and above completely collapsed, and his flesh and blood were flying and scattered all over the ground. At this scene, others clenched their weapons and stepped back. At the same time, the black iron warrior who took action looked at them.

"The Tribunal does not allow any questioning or hostility. Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"I, we are..."

Facing these steel giants, the soldier responsible for leading the team stammered for a while, not knowing what to say. He once faced the leader of a frost giant tribe single-handedly and killed him while being surrounded. But looking at the steel warrior in front of him, he suddenly felt that the frost giant leader he had faced before was as docile as a kitten.

Fortunately, someone still stepped forward at this time.

"We are a special investigation team organized by Ms. Alustriel."

Emilia stood up hurriedly. Although she was not familiar with these steel warriors, but referring to Duanmu Huai's character and temper and their previous actions of ruthlessly killing the priests of Helm, Emilia almost guessed that this would continue. It won't be a good thing to go down.

"We came here because there was a violent explosion in the Lost Land, and we got some bad news, so... Is Mr. Duanmuhuai here? Do we want to talk to him?"


"………………"

Hearing Emilia's words, the Iron Warriors were silent for a moment, and then the leader turned his head to look at her.

"The Grand Inquisitor is waiting for you, please follow me."

"Huh..."

At this moment, Amelia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, at least they can avoid the fate of being beaten into pieces.
