After breakfast, Edward was accompanied by Varik to the city walls. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I know about your past, Valek. "You've spent most of your time so far in Cocovo, on the Freedom Frontier, where many stories have happened, most notably the defender of Cocoward. ”

"Is that the one you want to introduce? Mr. Hawke?"

"I'm Hawke. It is an honor to meet you, Your Excellency. A man calmly walked over. Dressed in shabby armor and carrying a staff, his face covered in vicissitudes, a scruffy face beneath his tousled hair, and a war paint painted horizontally across his nose, "though few people call me this title anymore." ”

"Edward Lee, judge of the Jury. Edward stared at Hawke for a moment, then stepped forward to shake the hand of the Cokwo hero.

"You're much younger than I thought you were, Inquisitor. "This is one of the functions of the Light?"

Edward shrugged his shoulders in acquiescence.

Hawke propped his hands on the city wall, looked at the ruined Sky Dome Castle, and sighed, "This scene reminds me of my hometown in Cocoward. I once had a garden with a bird's-eye view of the whole city. At first I liked it, but after a while I realized that all I saw were counting on the people I was protecting. ”

"If I were you, I would like it even more. Edward laughed, "With great power comes great responsibility." Defenders should not allow their beliefs to be weakened over time. ”

Hawke was visibly stunned, and looked at Edward seriously.

"This is our Judge. "From the first time I saw him, I felt like I saw you as a young man, Hawke. So I sent you a letter asking you to come all the way here to help us, and I just want to help me...... New friends. ”

"Hehe, it's rare to see you look so sincere, Varek. "I'm glad you've found a new friend." ”

Varik scratched his face and smirked.

"Varik once said that you fought with Corifias?" said Edward, "as far as I know, that Tavent Ancient Sacrifice wasn't that easy to kill. ”

"That's right, not only did I fight him, but I also 'killed' him, and now it seems that he is really difficult to kill. "However, I don't have as much fighting power as you, and the Grey Warden has kept him in check as my helper, but he doesn't know how to establish contact with the Darkspawn, and then influence the Wardens to kill each other." ”

"The fight with Corifia taught me a lot of things. "Edward said," said the ancient priest of Tavent, who had entered the Shadow Realm and had reached the Dark City there. His crumbling body was made of red Lirim crystals and flesh, and he held the orb of the Ancient Elves in his hands. ”

"I'd say that his soul is strong enough, and with the Elven Orb giving him a connection to the Shadowworld, it's not unusual for him to be able to control the Darkspawn. Edward continued, "If something like this happens to the Watchmen, do you think we can save them?"

"Possibly, but I need more information. "I have a Warden friend named Stroud who is investigating some incident about the corruption of the Warden. He told me he was now hiding in the hole of an old smuggler in Cresswood. ”

"Creswood, it's not far from the Stormy Shore, so we can investigate together?" said Edward with interest, "However, I'm going to a banquet at the Winter Palace in the evening, and Varik knows that I don't want that to happen, but Coryfias wants to assassinate Queen Selene, and we must stop it as soon as possible." If you can, you can stay in Skyvault for a while, you shouldn't have seen Varrick in a long time?"

"No, I'll be waiting for you at Creswood. "I'm not part of the jury, I'm going to cause some trouble here." Come to me when you're ready. ”

With that, Hawke was about to leave, but Edward stopped him and handed Hawke a palm-sized emblem of Holy Light with his open hand.

"This is my emblem of the Holy Light, and if you are in trouble, you can use it to turn to the Inquisition in Creswood. At the same time, I can find you quickly with this emblem. ”

"Very clever spell. Hawke glanced at the huge emblem of Holy Light in the distance, and the dragon that entrenched beneath it, took it, and turned away.

"This friend of yours seems to be ...... A little unsociable? Wait for Hawke to leave, Edward said.

"War can change the character of a lot of people. "What's more, Hawke has lost a lot of relatives, and he always thinks it's his reason." He doesn't have the power to change the situation like you, and all he can do is maintain the posture of a victor in the midst of war. ”

"Many people think that the defenders of Cokvo are victors, a hero to be respected, and a winner in life, but no one cares what this hero loses in the war. ”

"You're right. Edward propped his hands on the city wall and fell into memory, he remembered the demon hunter family in the Western Continent of the native plane, "But so what? Before choosing this path, we should be prepared for this, we should not be confused because of the deceased, only by strengthening our beliefs can we let those dead relatives rest in peace." ”

"That's what makes you special, Edward. "But, go to your beliefs, few people think like you." The world is selfish and cruel, and not even God can do it to the extent that you are. ”

With that, Varik walked away in a rage.

Edward touched his nose awkwardly and smiled wryly.

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

Because he was going to attend the Winter Palace banquet in the evening, Edward never left the castle all day, and was always in the council chamber, either listening to Josephine talk about court etiquette or listening to Leliana's report.

Edward was very disgusted with court etiquette. But fortunately, Edward's appearance is handsome, and he is not the kind of three or five thick appearance, as long as he stands there, he is very attractive. And his etiquette is impeccable, and the details of his actions do not make people feel rude.

"Do I really want to wear this red to a banquet?" Edward said with a wry smile as he looked at himself in the mirror, "It doesn't look like it's appropriate." ”

"So what do you want to wear? Vivien, who was in charge of Edward's costume, straightened the sleeves of Edward's gown and said, "Is it a dress like that of the nobles of Oles?"

"Helmet. Edward said, "As a judge of the Inquisition, can't I wear armor? In my hometown, all generals are allowed to wear ornate helmets to banquets, so that they can not only identify themselves, but also not look rude." ”

"The one you usually wear?" Vivien's eyes lit up and she thought for a moment, "Well, I think you can try it." You are now a noble dragon knight and inquisitor, and whatever you wear, you should not be blamed by people, I think it will bring a new wave of trends!"
