With the destruction of Deszel and the recovery of the antidote, the plague in Neverwinter is over.

After that, everyone lived happily and peacefully......... Congratulations, congratulations.........

Well, it's a pity that this is not the game END.

The truth is that the atmosphere in Neverwinter is still tense right now.

Deszel's betrayal had already spread through the streets of Neverwinter, and his plague-spreading behavior had been confirmed, which naturally angered the populace. Of course, Deszel himself had been killed by Duanmu Huai, and his men were either killed or burned in the Heim Fortress, but it wasn't entirely without a target to vent the anger of the populace.

That's Vanswick.

As Erebes's right-hand man and lover, Van Swick provided a lot of help to Deszel in the whole thing, including the warehouse incident that they investigated before, and similar things were also found out later. According to his own account, he thinks that Deszer has done nothing wrong, so he has been helping the other party, wanting to prove that Deszer cares about Neverwinter as much as everyone else——— at that time, Duanmu Huai was left with only hehe.

In a word, stupid enough.

So the next thing to do was the trial of Vanswijk.

Vanswijk himself did not plead, but it was Erebeth who argued with reason, trying to prove that Vanswijk had not betrayed.

"I know, Vanswijk is not a traitor! He did not commit treason! I can assure him that he doesn't have the slightest intention in his heart! ”

But Duanmu Huai obviously won't accept such a statement.

"I don't care what Vanswick thinks! The truth is that what he did led to the spread of the plague and the death of thousands of people in Neverwinter! This is an undeniable truth! The trial chamber is not concerned with motives, only with results. Whatever Vanswick's motives, it was ultimately his actions that caused the spread of the plague and nearly brought the city to the brink of destruction! Therefore, I think Vanswick must be put to death! ”

Throughout the trial, Duanmu Huai and Erebes went toe-to-toe and quarreled. Erebeth insisted that Vanswick was only insisting on his righteousness and was deceived by Deszell, who was a victim himself, so he was not guilty of death, even if he was wrong.

And Duanmu Huai, as the judge, directly refuted, he didn't care whether Vanswijk insisted on his justice or was stupid enough to be deceived by Deszel or had ulterior motives, but what he did can be called a typical example of deception, just like when Deszel asked Vanswick to go through the transfer procedures of the warehouse, as Erebes's right and left hand, Vinswijk didn't tell Erebes about it——— this is dereliction of duty!

Anyone who associates with heresies of evil gods has only one way to die, and is the Inquisition a dry meal?

By the way, Lord Nashr in the court at the moment also did not look good, for the simple reason that he was also one of the people who trusted Deszaire, and the biggest responsibility lay with him. In addition, just before, Duanmu Huai even forced him to take off his clothes and carefully examined him, in order to make sure that the Lord of Nashr was not corrupted——— but whenever he had the slightest trace of corruption, Duanmu Huai killed him on the spot.

This was a great humiliation for Lord Nashir, who was once a great adventurer, but Duanmu Huai didn't care——— and the inquisitors never cared about what others liked and disliked them, they could do whatever they wanted, and they could do whatever they wanted. What others think of them is someone else's business, and it has nothing to do with the judges.

"This ..............."

And in the audience, Amilia, who had watched the whole trial, was also embarrassed.

As a follower of Tyre, she knew she should support Erebes. However, when Emilia followed Duanmu Huai to Heim Fortress and saw the mutated aberrations infected by the plague along the way, she had to admit Duanmu Huai's statement——— once Deszel replicated all this in Neverwinter, it would only bring destruction worse than nightmares.

At the moment, Erebeth and Duanmu Huai have a heated argument, but there is nothing wrong with both sides standing on each other——— Erebeth is the paladin of Tyr, and as a believer in Tyr, she first believes in justice. Therefore, in Erebes's opinion, even if Van Swijk is wrong, his intentions are good, so the punishment should be mitigated, at least not to death.

However, the Inquisition took the opposite position, it was not concerned with good or evil, they were only concerned with the survival of humanity. Therefore, in the eyes of Duanmuhuai, who is the inquisitor, what Vanswick did was an accomplice to the death of the people of Neverwinter, no matter what his considerations, his actions threatened the goals of the Inquisition, so the Inquisition would definitely not let Vanswick go——— if Neverwinter did not sentence him to death, then Duanmuhuai would have to do it himself.

Again, the Inquisitor never cares what others think.

They may not understand, but they must obey.

"You make him sound like a murderer! It wasn't Vanswijk who caused the plague, and it wasn't Vanswijk who destroyed the city! He is just too trusting and too focused on his duties! ”

"But it is an indisputable fact that he contributed to the spread of the plague!"

Duanmu Huai waved his hand abruptly and pointed out the window.

"I repeat, stop your useless arguments! You should go and look outside, see those who have died from the plague, go and tell them that their family was infected by the plague was just an accident, Vanswick is not going to do that, you see how many people will be willing to accept your explanation! And will the dead accept your apology! You only pay for the betrayed trust, but they pay for their lives! Do you want to say that your so-called kindness and justice are more important than human life?! ”

"Nope! But that's not Vanswick's responsibility! He spent his life toiling for the sake of justice, and he did his best to fulfill his duties, just like me! But why did he end up like this? Isn't that a betrayal? To appease the anger of the populace, his lord turned his back on him, and the gods he worshipped turned his back on him by a foolish mistake! Is that fair? ”

"A stupid mistake?"

Duanmu Huai's voice suddenly deepened, and at the same time, a cold killing intent spread from his body.

"Do you mean to say that the deaths of thousands of people can be justified by a single stupid mistake?"

"I ..............."

"You just don't want to face it!"

Duanmu Huai abruptly interrupted Erebes's defense, reached out and slapped the table hard————— and with a click, the heavy table shattered directly into two.

Seeing this scene, everyone present was shocked, but Duanmu Huai didn't care, just stared at Erebes viciously.

"You just don't want to accept that your lover has betrayed you! Hide it from you! Don't believe you! ”

While speaking, Duanmu Huai picked up a confession.

"You see, Van Swijk himself admits that he has opened up a lot of facilities for Deszel's actions, but he doesn't tell you because Vance Swijk thinks you don't trust Deszel and will probably not allow some of his actions. So he decided to act on his own, and not report to you! What does it feel like to be betrayed by a loved one? Erebes? Now, you are like a little girl who has been carried away by love, and you would rather question your gods and beliefs than turn your head to see the reality clearly! Let's face it, the reality is that your lover didn't trust you and betrayed you! ”

"No, I ..............."

At this moment, in the face of Duanmu Huai's angry rebuke, Erebes had nothing to say for a while.

After that, the trial continued, but it was already clear.

The evidence on Duanmuhuai's side is ironclad, and Erebes has nothing else to say except that she herself is desperately trying to explain that Vanswick didn't mean it......... Eventually, Vanswick was sentenced to be hanged for treason, and to the cheers of the people of Neverwinter, the priest was sent to the gallows, where he was reduced to a cold corpse.

It was only then that the plague in Neverwinter was truly over.

But......... It's still not over.

After the trial, Duanmu Huai and Ogis were invited to the lord's residence, after all, although Deszel was dead, the threat remained. Even now, they don't know what kind of enemy they are facing. And judging from the previous situation, only Duanmu Huai knew this best.

"Then, Your Excellency Inquisitor, I will ask you directly, do you know what the evil existence that Deszel believes in is?"

"Of course."

Faced with Lord Nashr's inquiry, Duanmu Huai nodded.

"That's a very old evil god, huh......... Call it the God of life. ”

"Huh?"

I have to say that when she heard Duanmu Huai's answer, Emilia looked confused.

"God of Life??? But ..............."

"But what?"

Duanmuhuai glanced at her, people are life, cattle are life, then let me ask you, do flies, mosquitoes, maggots count as life?"

"This ..............."

"Got it? This is the God of Life. ”

Duanmu Huai explained simply, and everyone immediately understood......... I have to say that this god of life really breaks their three views a bit.

"So, these cultists......... Where exactly are they active? ”

"Not necessarily."

Duanmu Huai spread out his hands.

"Strictly speaking, all those who have been sick for a long time and cannot be cured have the possibility of receiving the attention and favor of that person, and then become his followers."

“…………… Ay? What do you mean........."

"That guy does hear people's wails of pain and heal them."

"Treatment? But the previous aberrations ..............."

"It's disgusting, right, but it's cured. They don't feel pain anymore, they don't get sick anymore——— because they're walking plagues, you see, it's a little weird on the outside, but it's done, isn't it? ”

"Uh..............."

At this time, the boy named Qasim also reacted.

"Your Excellency, do you mean to say that the evil god turned people into that way in order to heal them of their diseases? But it's too ................"

"Don't do this or that, just say that the disease is cured."

“…………………”

Now everyone was speechless.

"But why are they spreading the plague?"

"It's very simple, let more people get infected with the disease, so that they can feel the love of the evil god.........

Duanmu Huai sneered.

"If people don't get sick, where do they go to propagate the greatness of the evil gods they believe in?"

“…………………”

Don't say it, it makes sense.

"All in all, the actions of these heretics are still very clear, basically, if there is an incurable plague, or some kind of distorted mutation, which makes people and animals and even plants distort and does not know the details, it is most likely their ghost——— which is why I am here."

"I see."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Lord Nashr breathed a sigh of relief, and now it seems that the actions of these evil god believers are still very predictable, at least much better than some devil believers who are hiding.

"I see, thank you for your advice. Lately, there has been a lot of peace in the Northlands, and we've always been suspicious of that......... I'll send someone to investigate right away. ”

Overall, although the initial disturbance was a bit unpleasant, Lord Nashr was still willing to cooperate with Duanmu Huai, and even invited the Inquisition to come to Neverwinter to set up a stronghold. After all, the Inquisition's ruthlessness and efficiency in dealing with evil heresies are indeed useful——— well, at least much better than some of the Tyre cultists.

During the whole process, Erebeth only stood behind Lord Nashr without saying a word, and her status in the Temple of Tyre was now greatly reduced, and in turn, Amelia, as the hero who followed Duanmu Huai to Heim Fortress to destroy the pagan stronghold, has replaced the original Erebeth position.

There is no way to do this, Erebeth has angered many people by defending Vanswick in the previous trial, and Vanswick is her subordinate, so Erebeth is naturally also responsible, if it weren't for the success of the antidote to the plague led by Erebes, I'm afraid even Erebeth would have to follow in Vanswick's footsteps.

It's just that now she is also rising and descending secretly, and has become a marginal person.

Duanmu Huai was not sympathetic to this, but it was the words that Erebeth had defended for Vanswick that angered him and reminded him of the widely circulated "You just lost a leg, but what she lost was love......... Well, if it weren't for the courtroom, Duanmu Huai would have burst out on the spot and wanted to kill someone.

But now...............

Duanmu Huai glanced at Erebes, then withdrew his gaze.

I hope she can figure it out and stop making trouble.
