Chapter 201: Gloomy
Northtown, a regional border city of Helseid, Eloais, and Siloria.
As the adventurer's union with the largest number of members, the union branch is naturally located in the center of North City.
This morning, the Adventurers' Guild was as lively as ever, and it was strange that the people gathered in the main hall of the Guild were not the clients who came to apply for the mission, nor the adventurers who received the mission—but the soldiers.
The soldiers in military uniforms straightened their waists like sculptures, motionless, and the invisible aura of murder quickly spread through the union. Those adventurers who had a bad case record secretly quenched themselves and quietly slipped into the backyard, intending to walk out through the back door, but they didn't expect that the backyard of the adventurer's union was controlled by the soldiers with guns.
The soldiers in the first row held their guns in their left hands and their swords in their right, and the musketeers in the back row were half-crouching to replenish their ammunition.
- The Adventurers' Guild, surrounded.
"The Imperial Praetorian Guard is taking care of the business, please wait here. Violators, behead! ”
The officer guarding the backyard of the Adventurers' Guild said coldly, his expression cold and devoid of intimacy.
Originally, a sturdy-looking adventurer wanted to go up and ask for an explanation, but just one step closer to the officer, the knights in the first row directly opened the safety of the musket and pointed their guns at him.
The person who is armed with a brick does not need to reason with you.
"Quiet everyone, we have evidence from the Inquisition that we suspect a heretic in the Norse branch of the Adventurers' Guild. We have no mercy on heresies that bring down the lives of people. The officer spread out the inspection order in his hand, and his cold gaze swept over the faces of each adventurer, "Also, anyone who provokes the majesty of the Empire will be punished by the Empire!" ”
The moment the fierce adventurer heard about the "Inquisition Hall of Heresy", he was instantly frightened and retracted his legs.
The most important thing to be a man is to be from the heart. It's better to offend the soldiers, but to offend the Inquisition of Heresy...... Is it bad to be alive?
Even if the Priesthood Church is nothing more than an institution of faith for the Empire...... At least that's what the nobility of the empire thought. However, even the high-ranking politicians of the Empire have no right to intervene in the actions of the Inquisition, and the only person who can manage the Inquisition of Heresy is the Pope, or rather, the central body above the Pope.
The Inquisition has the same enforcement powers as the military, and can use force in any city of the Empire...... Therefore, their rights are almost unlimited. Anyone can be hung on the gallows in the name of heresy, whether it is a true demon heretic or an imperial politician who is in a sense the private army of the Priesthood Church.
What's more, now, the Inquisition of Inquisition has joined hands with the real soldiers they are most incompatible with to fight against foreign enemies. It seems that this incident is really terrible, what kind of people can alarm them?
The Demon King's son came to Norse City for a tour?
In desperation, the adventurers honestly looked for a place to gather in the union. No matter how strong the union is, it is also the state. Those who work directly against the state have no end except to be pressed to the ground and rubbed, even by the richest adventurers' unions.
Compared to the frowning and restless adventurers, the bar owner was quite happy to wipe the glass, and told the waiter to make some snacks and prepare to watch the play.
"What the hell is going on, do you have any news?"
The adventurers gathered around, looking left and right, and talking.
"Damn, it can't be that I found out about Anderson's widowed wife Hipi the other day, right?" A good-looking adventurer's face instantly darkened.
The other adventurer was so frightened that he hurriedly glanced at the officer, turned his head and whispered, "Oh grass, you won't even let Anderson's wife go?" I heard that when Anderson died, his body turned into a ball, and everyone was dead, and you planted grass on his head? You're a man...... Remember to call me next time. ”
"Hehe, his wife is lonely, how can I, as his neighbor, not help? I'm a good citizen of North! ”
The north wind blows, the autumn breeze is cool, whose wife guards the empty house? When there is difficulty, I help, moving like a tiger and calming like a wave.
Seven feet high, as long as a rod, eighteen centimeters man; Strong body, great technique, once graduated from Lan Xiang.
About frost and frost, the teacher will be the mother, and the night and night sheng song is like a cave room; Now, with a good reputation, I live next door and my surname is Wang.
Another adventurer had a look of envy and jealousy on his face, and said in pieces, "Just blow you!" How can you do it in the aristocratic district...... Wait, could it have something to do with the death of the dog thief of the Felder City Lord? ”
"Not necessarily, I think it should be related to the collapse of Ignis Prison last month, my brother was supposed to be out of prison for three months, but now the prison is completely locked down, I leaned over to ask about the situation and was beaten."
"No wonder you're limping around today...... Hey, wait, do you guys feel the floor shaking? ”
"What are you shaking, you and Anderson's wife were shaking in bed and haven't stopped yet?"
"No, I mean—huh?!"
At this moment, even the face of the adventurer who ridiculed Lao Wang changed, and there seemed to be a sound of thunder not far away, thundering during the day. The ground shook, as if it were a harbinger of a storm. The adventurers were a little unable to sit still, completely ignoring the cold gaze of the army, and returned to the main hall of the union, and followed in the direction from which the thunder came.
The main road of North City is full of dust, and if someone looks down from a high place at this time, they will find that the pedestrians on the road are frightened and avoid under the eaves, and the whole street is emptied in an instant.
The sky was still cloudless and clear, and there was no sign of dark clouds condensing to thunder or rain, and the thunder came from the dust flying in the streets, like a roaring thunderbeast hidden in a smoke screen.
All of a sudden! The sharp horns pierced through the smoke screen, and it accelerated out, leaving the dust behind! It was a long cart pulled by a seventh-order unicorn, wrapped in black iron, and it looked like a giant coffin. The unicorn was wrapped in a steel vest, and its purple eyes seemed to flash with thunder, and it ran wildly without stopping.
The four corners of the carriage were carved with angels, two with six wings, two for their eyes, two for their feet, and two for flight, entwined by pitch-black flames, as if bound to the slender and bewitching body of a serpent. As the unicorn surged, the flames on the fallen angel's body became more and more swaying, thunder roared, and the high-concentration steam let out a sharp whistling.
The carriage of the Inquisition Hall is a carriage driven by a seventh-order unicorn, and it has a nice name, it is called Youxi. But its appearance does not match the name at all, it resembles a moving coffin, and when it walks, it seems to be a funeral.
