Even on a sunny day, the door of this lonely building, standing in a remote corner of the Holy See, is full of doors.

On a night like today, there is not even a ghost in front of the door of the court, and although the entire court covers an area of several square kilometers, it is so quiet that even the sound of a hair falling on the ground can be heard clearly.

If it weren't for the fact that there were two flimsy torches in the gate, the place would look no different from an abandoned haunted house.

In fact, even with these two torches, the floor is only a little better than an abandoned haunted house - only a little bit.

The silence was broken by the screeching of wheels, and an ordinary-looking carriage emerged from the darkness in front of the gate, and then drove through the two torches without stopping and into the path behind the gate that led to the main building of the Inquisition.

After another moment, the carriage stopped in front of the Inquisition building.

The whole building was black and empty, without any lights.

The coachman jumped out of the carriage, and the coachman was evidently not young, as was evident from his slightly rickety figure and somewhat stumbling steps.

Strangely, the driver did not reach out to open the door behind him or call out to the people in the courtroom, but stood there in silence, staring at the building in front of him, which was completely hidden in darkness.

After a few moments, a voice suddenly sounded from the darkness next to the coachman: "What do you think of this building?" ”

The driver was silent for a moment, then replied, "This building shouldn't have existed. ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”

"An organization like the Inquisition should be hidden in the dark forever, and it shouldn't be so openly visible to people."

"But isn't the current Inquisition hiding in the dark?"

"That's just because the darkness obscures the view, and when the sun comes, the inquisition remains visible."

"So you want to erase all traces of the Inquisition's place in this world?"

"No, the Inquisition should continue to exist, but it should no longer be in the eyes of the people, it should exist in the legends of word of mouth and in the hearts of the people."

"The Inquisition is not a rat's nest, and the adjudicator is not a rat, only rats will always hide in the shadows."

This sentence silenced the coachman for a while, and then spoke again after a moment: "Don't you think it's a bit too early to discuss this issue at this time, Lord Cheeto?" ”

The light of the torch suddenly lit up, illuminating everything next to the carriage, including the coachman standing next to it.

Cheeto's figure stepped out of the darkness beside the carriage and stood in front of the coachman.

"Please come in, Lord Gavin."

The coachman took off the hat he had been wearing on his head, revealing the face that belonged to Gavin.

The two walked side by side into the building in front of them.

In the silent corridor, only the footsteps of the two people kept echoing.

On both sides of the corridor are tall pillars, and whenever two people walk through a certain part of the corridor, the torches on the pillars on both sides of the corridor will suddenly be lit; And after the two of them left, the torches on the pillar would be quietly extinguished again, leaving everything in darkness.

At any given time, the number of torches lit is always six.

Bishop Gavin had apparently seen this scene for the first time, and had been watching the torches on both sides with great interest, and finally couldn't help but praise: "This must be some kind of application of sound magic, right?" It's a great way to save on oil. ”

Cheeto, who was walking beside Bishop Gavin, smiled when he heard this, and said softly: "No way, who let the inquisition now have fewer and fewer adjudicators who can go out and chop wood?" ”

Bishop Gavin was stunned for a moment, and then, as if he had heard some great joke, he burst out laughing.

Hearty laughter echoed through the silent building, making a hollow echo that sounded rather permeating.

Even the old horse downstairs, who was waiting quietly in the dark with the carriage, couldn't help but snort heavily when he heard this laughter, and stomped his horse's hooves a few times uneasily.

"It's here, please come in." Cheeto stepped forward and pulled the door open in front of him.

The room was large and very empty.

A desk, two chairs, that's all there is to the room.

Without hesitation, Bishop Gavin stepped into the room and took his seat at his desk.

Cheeto also sat down in his own chair behind his desk.

Bishop Gavin got straight to the point: "Lord Cheetos must already know what I am here for. ”

Cheeto didn't speak immediately, but looked at the cardinal in front of him with a very strange gaze.

As the master of the Inquisition, Cheedo has a very loud nickname - "Demon God's Pupil", because according to legend, his black eyes can see through the thoughts of everyone's heart.

At this moment, the eyes of the demon god were staring at Bishop Gavin's body for a moment, but Bishop Gavin didn't seem to feel anything, and even smiled, the expression on his face looked quite calm.

In the end, it was Cheeto who was the first to speak to break the silence: "Fifteen minutes ago, a squad leader named Derek and his squad on patrol tonight were attacked by unknown people at the city gate, and they were all killed. ”

"Oh?" Bishop Gavin's eyebrows raised slightly: "That was a surprise. ”

Although he said surprise, Bishop Gavin's face showed no surprise at all.

Cheedo continued, "It's strange that the guards who were supposed to be guarding the city gate all disappeared when this patrol team was killed, as if they had vanished from the world. ”

Bishop Gavin sighed twice: "A strange thing indeed. ”

Cheeto didn't seem to take Bishop Gavin's answer to heart at all, but continued to speak to himself: "What's even more strange is that the city gate was opened later, and then a certain ace knight regiment that was supposed to be stationed in the military camp outside the city and guarding the security of the eastern part of the Holy See actually entered the Holy See through the city gate in the middle of the night, and started a fierce battle with the defenders of the city. ”

Bishop Gavin also sighed: "The world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient, I didn't expect that such scum would appear in my dignified Bright Church." ”

It is worth mentioning that from the words of Bishop Gavin, it is not possible to tell which of the two sides is the "scum" in his mouth.

Cheedo gave Gavin a deep look: "What's even more coincidental is that the force that attacked the city has just changed its supreme commander not long ago. And this new commander, according to the covert investigation of our Inquisition, seems to have been able to take office with the covert support of you, His Excellency Bishop Gavin. ”

Cheeto narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Bishop Gavin in front of him, and said word by word: "So now, respected Bishop Gavin, please tell me, why did you choose to rebel at this time?" ”
