Chapter 697: Vivien

Edward's trip to Varroyo is legendary in the eyes of others. The ability of the pioneer of Andust and the inquisitor of the Inquisition www.biquge.info the Varroyo battle with a demon in public has been rumored in various versions.

Some say he has gained the power of Androst, some say he has the spirit of a true god, some say he is the most powerful mage in all of Cedas, and some use his two-handed sword to refute Edward's claim that he is a mageβ€”after all, no mage has ever used such a thankless weapon as a two-handed heavy sword.

One of the most outrageous theories is that Edward was the child of the Creator and Andast, who inherited the Creator's powerful divine power and the brilliance of Andast, and descended on the continent of Saidas to redeem them as mortals......

Regardless of the rumors, Edward's trip to Varroyo was an unexpected surprise - many Templars were willing to join the Inquisition and swear allegiance to the Inquisitor until a new Sage was born. Many of the priests who had witnessed the power of Edward's Light had announced that they would join the jury and that they would accept Giselle's reorganization.

"You mean, many Templars were taking Chilirem under the orders of the impostor Lucius?" In one of Varroyo's rooms, Edward looked at Blackwall and Leliana, who had rushed to hear the news, with a solemn face.

"That's right, the Templars who have declared that they want to join our Inquisition are mostly low-level knights who have not taken Chilirem, and most of the high-ranking have defected. Blackwall sighed, "At the same time, in their base camp, we also found a large number of Chiliram Magic Crystals. ”

"My scouts have encountered many Red Knights on their way to the Templar Fortress, and almost all of them have gone mad and delirious, attacking anyone who approaches them, and it is almost impossible to get out of their mind. Reliana said with a grim face, "For this, I also lost three excellent scouts. Inquisitor, are we going to give up our ...... to them?"

"No! Blackwall knew what Reliana meant, and immediately objected, "Leave it to us to hunt down the Red Knight, Lady Reliana. All your people need to do is find them and notify me, and we'll do the rest, and I'm sure the Light will purify their crazy minds. ”

"Many of them said that they were absolutely loyal to the Church, that they could not disobey Lucius's orders, and that it was probably not their intention to take Chilirem. ”

"Understood. Reliana was already saddened by the fact that something like this had happened in the Templars, and seeing that the commander of the paladins still did not give up on redeeming these people, she smiled and said, "It seems that Edward's choice is not wrong, you are a respectable commander. ”

Blackwall smiled reluctantly.

"Now that the Templars have joined, and the batch of Chilirem that they have obtained, is it time to close the crack in the sky?" asked Reliana, looking at the small note in her hand.

"Aren't there any apostate mages?" Edward said, waving his hand, "Since the Templars have joined the Inquisition, we should also have the support or joining of the mages, so that the conflict between the Templars and the mages can be completely settled, otherwise our Inquisition will be criticized by the world and say that we are a Templar team." ”

"Well, as you wish. Reliana seemed to have known that Edward would say this, "I've asked my men to find a teleportation point in Chiyan Village. In addition, there are two invitations here. One of them, Vivian Dove, the chief mage of Montesma and court mage of the Oles Empire, invites you to attend the salon at the castle of the Duke of Bastien de Guisland. The other is from a mysterious organization called Red Jenny. ”

"Why did the Imperial Court Mage invite me?" said Edward, a little surprised.

"This Vivien mage has openly supported us since the beginning of our Inquisition, and I think it would be better for the Inquisitor to go. "Aside from her status as a mage, her position in the Oles Empire is an important political weight for us. ”

"Then let's go now. Edward pinched his eyebrows and said helplessly, "Is there a teleportation point there?"

"It's already arranged. "However, since you are attending a salon, does the Inquisitor need a decent dress?"

"Dress, Lady Reliana, can I get an inch and ask for a life assistant? Edward joked.

Reliana glared at Edward, then walked out of the room.

............

Edward directly used the holy light to cleanse the Rivendell armor stained with the blood of the monster, and then directly used the teleportation technique to go directly to the Duke's castle alone.

By this time, the salon had already begun, and the Duke's castle was full of masked and gown-wearing Oles nobles. Although Edward's Ruiwei Dale armor was well-made and gorgeously fitted, it still stood out among this group of nobles.

However, Edward's young and handsome appearance, coupled with his recent public battle in Piazza Valroyo, did not consider his dress to be impolite, and even took it for granted.

As soon as he entered the banquet hall, he was surrounded by many noble children, who greeted him one after another, and some even openly flattered him.

This made many aristocratic men unconvinced, and secretly slandered themselves but did not dare to confront them face-to-face, so they could only sit in the corner and sulk. One of the second ancestors mustered up the courage to belittle this figure of unknown origin, but Edward glared at him slightly, and he shrank back in fright.

"It looks like Your Excellency the Inquisitor is very popular. A dark-skinned woman in a revealing dress gracefully descended the stairs of the hall, walked around Edward's side a few times, and praised, "Young, handsome, powerful, wise, kind, or the judge of the recently famous Inquisition, and possibly even our savior? ”

"Don't you know, my dear? You make a lot of people fascinated by you. The dark-skinned woman said this in an ambiguous tone before she gracefully saluted Edward, "It's an honor for you to be able to participate in this salon, I think many of you here will think so, I'm Vivienne Dove, a court mage of the Empire. ”

"My pleasure, Lady Vivien. Edward scratched his nose and stepped back in salute.

"Hehe, now I have found a shortcoming, shyness. Vivien made a gesture of please, and led Edward out of the banquet hall and into a corner.

"Now, let me tell you exactly why I invited you here. As the last loyal mage, I wish to join the Inquisition. Vivien said bluntly, "I know you're smart, and I don't want to hide my intentions in front of smart people, that would make you think I'm premeditated." ”

"So you mean you want to join the jury, but the purpose is actually very simple?" said Edward with a smile.

"Great, worthy of Your Excellency the Inquisitor, you are quite right. "It's a win-win situation." I provide political and combat assistance to the Inquisition, and the Inquisition protects my position in the Church from infringement, and it is a matter of taking sides, and I choose to be on the side of the Inquisition, it's as simple as that. ”

"Welcome to the jury, Ms. Vivien. Edward stared at Vivien for a moment and smiled, "As long as it helps our cause, a little shelter is nothing." I'm disappointed, though, that you may not be able to be the commander of the Legion of Palads. ”
