Chapter 43: Strong, Powerful, Powerful (Seeking Reading)

The Inquisition, which originated as the Inquisition, played an important role in the wars of religion in antiquity.

However, with the passage of time, the distribution of faith has stabilized, but the infiltration of various forces by the cultists is a headache.

At this time, the Inquisition was transformed from external to internal, directly under the orders of the Pope, and had the authority to prosecute the clergy of all parties.

With such an organization similar to the brocade guard, Joshua was ready to be dismounted as soon as he came up, but ......

[Flowers are abundant, and everyone is expected to return to the great Joshua who will come to his faithful court today.] 】

"This is the kid that Bishop Jacob said? It's really good-looking. ”

"It's finally here, our savior."

"Open champagne~"

……

If it weren't for the confirmation of the text of fate, Joshua would not have believed that this tavern-like place was the courtroom that would stop children crying at night.

Shouldn't the so-called Inquisition be a place where a group of demons and monsters gather?

"That...... I shouldn't have come at the right time. ”

"No, you came at the right time."

Just as Joshua was about to pull away, a large hand pressed him down.

"That's right, Bishop Jacob has already shown us your portrait, Joshua of Black Mountain, who has established a relationship with the Holy Maiden in just a few days that goes beyond friendship, and we all recognize you when you turn to ashes."

The strong man like an iron tower grabbed Joshua like a drowning man holding on to a life-saving straw.

Even if this straw can't save lives.

"I think there's some misunderstanding between us."

Although Joshua and Lilith lived and died together, it makes sense to describe it as a "relationship that goes beyond friendship."

But looking at the appearance of these people, it is obvious that they want to be crooked.

"I didn't think about it at all, that saint girl seems to be innocent, but she actually has a good impression of you."

Juno's voice interjected at this point, and it seemed that she had really recovered a lot, but ......

"You think too much, one of the three major illusions in life is that he/she likes me, and it's good to think about things like being liked by a saint in your heart, it's okay to deceive your brother, but don't deceive yourself."

Joshua scoffed at Juno's rhetoric, and the routine of having girls throw themselves into their arms as soon as the tiger's body shook was no longer popular.

["Women only affect the speed at which I draw my sword. ”】

Men are like this for one or two.

For someone like Joshua who can maximize everything for the best of his ability, Juno doesn't know what the Church of the Moon God will look like in the future.

But the battle in Black Mountain proved that Joshua was still occasionally dominated by feelings.

This also made him a little more human.

"Misunderstanding? There is no misunderstanding, when we read your information from Bishop Jacob, we were sure that you are the most straining member we need right now. ”

It was a hippie-smiling man walking in, who didn't look a few years older than Joshua, and if it weren't for the Inquisition, Joshua wouldn't mind talking to them a little longer.

[It is gold that always shines, although it is a lie to fool the world, but at this time, the people of the Inquisition noticed Joshua's specialty, the handsome face that can always quickly get closer to the opposite sex. 】

Well, since the Riddler, the Elder of the Soul Temple, and the Mad Man, Joshua has also discovered that the fate text still has the attribute of narcissism.

This is really too many elements to taste and vomit, hurry up and serve it.

"That's right, it's the ability to quickly get closer to the opposite sex."

"What?"

If it weren't for Joshua watching the frivolous man in front of him say this, Joshua would have even thought that the fate text would have begun to be repeated.

"Our captain Charlotte, who is almost thirty years old and has not been in a relationship once, you know, whether it is a man or a woman, there is a little psychological problem after holding it for a long time."

is obviously in his early twenties, but at this moment, the frivolous man showed a look of seeing through the warmth and coldness of the world.

"Actually, I don't expect you to walk with the captain, but if she doesn't open up a little to distract us, then we will be tormented to death by her exuberant energy."

When I think of the high-intensity missions these days, the tower-like strong man can't help but have sore muscles.

This cultist can't be caught alive or dead.

In a sense, there are only two people left in the headquarters of the Inquisition, which already shows how busy they are at this time.

This was a time when there was a desperate shortage of manpower, and Joshua could share some of their pressure when he came to the door, if not to spark with their captain.

"Wait, is it that simple? This is the Inquisition. ”

Joshua didn't expect to be so hastily recognized, it stands to reason that this kind of organization similar to Jinyiwei shouldn't be strictly screened and all eight generations of Joshua's ancestors turned out?

"Normally, this is the case, but you are the person recommended by the Holy Maiden, and at the same time, you are also a divine favorite, and you have the merit of assisting the Holy Maiden to hinder the ritual of the evil gods, if you have a problem, you have to suffer this loss."

The frivolous man looks indifferent.

Although his statement is indeed reasonable, it would be too costly for the cultists to give up a Dark Moon Sage, an advent ceremony of the Evil God Son, and a chance to kill the Holy Maiden of Light, so they were ready to install Joshua with a nail in it.

Using this as a counter-extrapolation, the other party has paid such a big price, and even if Joshua really has a problem, they don't mind suffering this loss.

There are really no normal people in the courtroom.

That's what Joshua thought after he figured it all out.

"Is that Captain Charlotte really that scary?"

You must know that most of the people in the court are not normal people, and what kind of existence can make these guys afraid.

"She's not a scary kind of problem, it's ......"

The frivolous man hesitated for a long time and didn't think of a good adjective, but the big man on the side spoke.

"The captain is a person who is strict with herself and strict with others, she does things too seriously, otherwise she would not have had no sign of promotion in the next few years after becoming a grandmaster."

Although Fei Leng Emerald is on the border of the Empire, the activity of the Cultists is much lower than that of other border cities.

After all, a dead cultist naturally has no ability to make trouble.

Under Charlotte's leadership, many talents walked out of here and mixed well in the Papal Palace.

However, Charlotte, who is the captain, has no intention of being promoted.

"There is no room for sand in her eyes, the bishop of Fei Leng Cui has been trading for the situation before Jacob, and this is indispensable for the captain to report back to the Papal Palace according to the collected materials."

"That's right."

Joshua had not yet officially joined the court, but he did have some glimpse of his future immediate boss.

Although the Inquisition is directly subordinate to the Pope, in the absence of an order from the Pope, the regional bishops are their immediate superiors, at least nominal.

Even if Charlotte is very capable, for this kind of subordinate who dares to backstab his boss, no matter who he is, he is a plague god.

Naturally, there is no chance of promotion.

As for those who have left the Emerald, they will either hold a grudge against them and thank God for not stepping on them, and those who are grateful will probably not let Charlotte be promoted to the Papal Palace.

There is a whirlpool of power struggles, and the grandmaster will be easily eaten and wiped out.

[The footsteps are inaudible, like a dexterous cat approaching here, but the faint aroma from between the air vibrations, this aroma stimulates Joshua's nerves, and its strength is really strong, strong and powerful~]

Got a woman closer?

Joshua was stunned for a moment, but found that the two in front of him didn't notice it, and they were generally still in the black fart, their own captain.

You must know that the location of the Inquisition is itself hidden, and there are illusions and enchantments guarding it outside, so once someone enters it, people should be the first to notice it.

The two did not react, and there were only two possibilities.

The first is that the enemy is too strong to be perceived, and the second is that it is not the enemy who is coming, but his own people.

"That's the end of the matter about Captain Charlotte."

Joshua is well aware of the so-called Murphy's Law, and if there is a possibility that something will go bad, it will definitely go bad.

At this point, the horrible Captain Charlotte should be behind the door listening to their black fart.

"That's it? How can it, the captain finally went out once, and at this time he said that there was no chance in the future. ”

"Let's talk more about things related to the captain, which can be regarded as laying a good foundation for her future strategy, knowing yourself and knowing your opponent to win all battles."

You can still live if you do evil in heaven, but you can't live if you do evil in yourself.

Joshua looked at the two of them who were still talking, and those eyes already had a bit of a taste of looking at the dead.

If that Captain Charlotte was really that murderous.

"Stark, Brown, you seem to be very energetic, last night to clear the cultists all night is still so energetic, it seems that it is time to double your training volume."

The hidden wooden door was pushed open, and a cold female voice was heard, and as Stark and Brown stared at them in horror, Joshua knew he was right.

Charlotte is back.

"Captain, listen to my explanation......"

"I don't need to explain, I'll talk about it later in the training room, and now let me talk to the newcomer alone."

When Charlotte said the words "training room", the two of them were in mourning, and finally they could only pin their hopes on Joshua.

For the sake of calling you daddy, pull your brother along.

That's how I pull.

Although it has only been in contact for a relatively short time, there is always a sight at first sight in this world, just like three men don't need words between them, they can understand each other's inner words just by looking at each other, and even be able to communicate.

"If I could, I wouldn't want to show the newcomers such a side of the courtroom."

Charlotte came up to Joshua and took a closer look at the man in front of her.

Even the two of them knew about Joshua's relationship with Lilith that "transcended friendship", and it was impossible for the captain of the Inquisition not to know about it.

But Charlotte didn't care about that, but wondered how Joshua was going to jump between Anna and Lilith.

Originally, it was impossible for her to come back so soon, after all, it was necessary to fight against the inheritor of the Sword of the Upper Branch, and it was necessary for both sides to understand their respective strengths.

For this reason, Charlotte even reported in advance, and launched an enchantment to expel idlers in the city, but she didn't expect that the battle did not start.

It is impossible for Anna to give up her strength, and at the same time, she wants to grow her strength by leaps and bounds through the cultivation of the church.

It's not a desire for power, it's a simple desire to help the person in front of you.

Does this man really have so much magic?

"Captain Charlotte, your mask ......"

To be honest, Joshua was under a lot of pressure, after all, it was Alexander's thing to meet his immediate boss, not to mention that the immediate boss was wearing a one-piece bodysuit.

It's obviously tightly wrapped, but it shows off its figure as if it's not worn.

It's tights, it's magical.

"I don't want people to see my face."

Charlotte touched the mask on her face, she was used to questions like this, probably everyone who joined the team would ask about it.

As for the Stark, who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, she even said that she was born with the ability to charm, so she had to use a mask to seal it.

Of course, the moment she said this, Charlotte hung up the broken-mouthed guy and beat him.

"Although they are not in tune, they are still very trustworthy when they work, and you don't have to worry about that, the next thing is about you."

Charlotte pulled out a document from a nearby drawer with information about Joshua.

An exorcist-level god who is also a trainee magician, such strength is difficult for Charlotte to believe that the young man in front of her can help the saintess in the battle with the Darkmoon Sage.

But Stark was right before, whether it was the recommendation of the saint and the bishop, the identity of the priest, or the inheritor of Father Andrei, such an identity was too rooted, but ......

"Settle this matter tonight."

A bag of documents is thrown in front of Joshua, and although Charlotte has no way to refuse Joshua's joining, she wants to understand Joshua's strength and character.

Although Charlotte is a member of the courtroom, it cannot be denied that the people in the courtroom are more or less abnormal.

In such an environment, this too normal teenager in front of him is really not suitable to stay here.

If there are no surprises, Charlotte will probably arrange a spare job for Joshua.

"The remnants of the Predator Brotherhood?"

Joshua looked at the information on the file and fell into deep thought.

Since Skaven's death, the Predator Brotherhood has not only lost its leading role, but has also been torn apart by factional fighting.

This wave of remnants wanted to go to the orc court through the Emerald Jade, and what Joshua had to do was to stop them halfway tonight.

Should it be said that it is worthy of the court?

Such a small wave of cultists who are secretly operating can detect it, and it seems that the Captain Charlotte in front of him really has no ability to say.

"Oh? It's a night action, so you can try to see how effective my blessing is for you. ”

Juno's rumbling words came, but it made Joshua a little confused.

This guy was weakly asleep a few days ago, so will he be able to use the blessing in just a few days?

Could it be that this is a fool in a sense?
