"Alright, guys, we all know what we're here for."

The warrior stared at the crowd in front of him, his expression serious and serious.

"There's been a big explosion in the Lost Lands for no apparent reason, and we're going to investigate what happened there, and I think you're all aware of that."

"The stones are on it, and that explosion literally buried our clan's nest! My people are still digging for stones, and if I ever let me know who did this, I'm going to smash his head! Let him know how terrible the wrath of the dwarves is! ”

The dwarf angrily waved his tomahawk in his hand and whined loudly. His movements were so great that the others around him moved away from the mad dwarf, for fear that the other's axe would accidentally cut at him.

"I have to find out who did such a crazy thing!"

"According to the information we have obtained, it is a tall steel demon wearing terrifying armor."

The Elven Ranger on the other side whispered, her longbow clenched in her hand and her expression serious.

"If the intelligence is true, then we could be in unimaginable danger."

"You mean a crisis like Hellgate?"

The mage next to her interjected, and the elf's expression was a little embarrassed, but she nodded slightly.

Hell Gate Fort can be regarded as one of the biggest black histories of the Supreme Forest, which has to start from that year, when the Supreme Forest was completely the territory of elves, and these elves are far from being as pure and arrogant as humans imagined, they are just like their distant relatives, the Aydarin, what to do, in short, to do it, no matter what race it is, no matter what day and night, no matter where it is————— otherwise where do you think so many half of the elves all over the continent came from?

Could it be that it jumped out of a crack in the stone?

Half-elves are about to become a race, whose pot is this?

If it weren't for the giants being too big to handle, this group of damn elves might even be able to make a half-elf giant!

The consequence of being cold and jealous is that there are demons who turn into human forms and mix in it, and they have a big silver party with the elves, and then a race called the demon elves was born, this race is not like the half-elves, although they have the blood of the devil in their bodies, but the appearance looks no different from ordinary elves. Moreover, these demonic elves were born to know their fate, so they disguised themselves as ordinary elves while desecrating the forest at the behest of their father, who was far away in hell.

In the end, they took the opportunity of an elven festival to open the portal to Baatar Hell in a fortress, and a large number of demons came out of the portal and raged wildly, this disaster affected almost the entire Northland, and then everyone worked together to drive this group of demons back to Bato Hell, and at the same time completely sealed the Hell Gate Fort.

After that, the Demon Elves were banished, and the number of Elves was greatly reduced due to the Battle of Hell Gate Fort, and finally understood the dangers of being cold and jealous, and began to close their relatives in the country.

Of course, as time slowly passes, most of the short-lived races have long forgotten the appearance of the elves who caused trouble, and most of the legends record that some elves were tempted by the devil to fall and then open the portal to create disasters——— as for how they fell, it is never mentioned.

Only the elves themselves still remember that tragic black history, which is why the elves are now as pure in the outside world as the nuns of the monastery.

Anyway, in case someone asks, "Didn't you elves use to be able to do it with a glass of wine like standing on the street?" When you can hold a rosary in your hand, you can proclaim the Buddha's name, "Amitabha, the monks don't speak, I don't understand what the donor is saying........."

Well, you can pretend anyway, right?

Of course, for elves, this is a dark history that is unbearable, so even if others don't know, as long as the other party mentions that history, they will reflexively ......... Well, well, a kind of self-psychological defense, as if the woman sitting on the stage from the good is going to delete all the previous contacts on her phone to show that nothing has happened, which is understandable.

"I think everyone who has come here is familiar with it."

The warrior glanced at the crowd.

"You're all notorious adventurers in the Northlands, oh yes, and these four......... They are the heroes who saved Neverwinter, the strong ones who have only successfully returned from the dark realm! ”

As he spoke, the warrior reached out and pointed to the four people next to him, who were Amilia, Kassim, and Rosha......... and Lokihi.

"Yo, good fellows, I didn't expect you to come too."

Seeing the four people, the other adventurers were also quite surprised, they were all well-known adventurers, but there were still a few who had saved a city, and everyone gave warm applause at this time, and Emilia and the others also hurriedly returned the salute.

"Finally, the representative of Waterdeep, Dolfin, the priest from the Temple of Haim........."

“……………”

When a man in iron armor and a war hammer came up to salute everyone, the atmosphere that was originally quite lively was directly cold. Many adventurers looked at the Hem priest in front of them speechlessly, with an unhappy expression, even Emilia and the others silently took a few steps back at this time.

After the incident in Neverwinter, they can be regarded as having a psychological shadow on Haim's followers.

Other adventurers also don't like the Haim believers, Haim is known as the guardian eye, most of the time on weekdays is mainly responsible for the security work in the city, rarely go out on adventures, in the eyes of adventurers, these Haim believers are basically the rich and the authorities' lackeys, and Haim believers also don't like these adventurers who break the rules at every turn, and the two sides don't look at each other very well.

As for the mage...............

"Hmph."

The mage, who was still smiling just now, looked at Priest Haim, and suddenly his face turned closed, and he snorted coldly.

They hadn't forgotten who killed the goddess of magic.

"Let's go."

Although it was cold, what should be done still had to be done, so the group also hurriedly set off and headed in the direction of the Lost Land.

At the end of the line, Cassim and Roshaa crept closer to Amelia's side.

"Miss Amilia, that should be the Inquisitor, right?"

"I think......... It should be, right? ”

That's right, that's why they joined this adventure, originally Emilia and the others planned to stay at Baldur's Gate for a while to see if Duanmu Huai would come back, but they encountered the Lost Lands explosion, and then Baldur's Gate issued a bounty, hoping that someone would go to the Lost Lands to investigate, when Emilia and the others learned that this matter was likely related to a tall, black armor-clad steel demon......... Well, they know who to turn to.

"What is he doing in the Lost Lands? Still making such a big move? ”

Qasim looked confused, the others didn't know how powerful the Inquisition was, but they knew, just kidding, chasing the drow elves in the dark region to kill them all, and even the ruthless character of the spider queen Rose was killed, what happened to blowing up a clearing?

Others can't do it, but Duanmu Huai ......... Well, he might be able to do it.

"If it's really the Inquisitor, I think it might be worse."

Qasim stole a glance at Priest Haim, who was walking in front, and whispered. They are no longer fledgling boys, at least after leaving Neverwinter, they have traveled to a lot of places, knowing that Haim's believers are really stubborn and disgusting, and Emilia is a paladin of Tyre, so those Heim believers still give her some face, but for ordinary adventurers, Haim believers ......... It's unbearable.

Stubborn, rigid, eye-to-head, like a loyal watchdog, barking at everything but wagging his tail at his master.

"If this stupid Priest of Heim says something, I think we'll have to think about how to report back to the Temple of Heim why their priest's head is stuck on the wall."

“…………………”

As witnesses to how Duanmu Huai cleaned up Deszaire, Emilia and Rosa nodded.

"Hey..............."

Emilia also sighed tiredly, Tyre and Heim are not in the same camp, Tyre is orderly and kind, Heim is orderly and neutral————— but at least the two sides can barely be regarded as colleagues, and the thought of this thing falling on her makes Emilia ten thousand desperate.

As for stopping the Duanmu locust? Well, Emilia felt like she had to do her best.........

Of course, the most desperate thing is...............

"Why do I want to come with you?"

Following behind the three of them, Lokixi was about to cry to death. She now finally understands why Duanmu Huai would say "there is a time when you are unlucky", indeed, as the hero who saved Neverwinter, Luo Qixi eats and sleeps well and has fun in Neverwinter, and there is a large amount of salary for the lord's mage advisor to receive, and the lord also promises her to build her own mage tower!

Luo Qixi now only feels that she is living a life where the gods do not change.

As a result——— just as she was indulging in her comfortable life, there was a bang, and the Lost Land exploded.

So, as the "hero who once saved Neverwinter", shouldn't you take the lead and go and see what happens?

Now Luo Qixi finally understands that not a single gold coin is for nothing in the salary she receives!

This money is really hot!

Lokihi regretted it, but it was too late, but luckily when she packed her bags and came to Silvermoon City, she saw the figure of her companion——— and when she saw Emilia and the others, Lokihi was about to cry.

I knew that she also learned from Cassim and Roxia, and it was not better to go away with a large sum of money than this?

It's a pity, there is no regret medicine in this world.

In this way, a team of elite adventurers from various cities set off from Silvermoon City and walked all the way down the Adventurer's Avenue towards the Lost Land. They didn't encounter too many enemies along the way, after all, most people would definitely avoid seeing such an elite team, but in the end, their progress was blocked.

by a huge iron gate.

"What is this???"

Everyone in the expedition looked at the iron gate in front of them with a bewildered expression, while Priest Haim held the holy emblem tightly, his face was serious and iron-blue.

"It's blasphemy!!"

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

Looking at the gate in front of them, Emilia and the others were speechless for a while, the steel gate in front of them was pitch black, and the golden trim made it look a little artistic, but in the center of the gate was inlaid with a huge pure white skull pattern, and a war hammer was erected behind it, this symbol Emilia and the others were no strangers, they had seen similar decorations in the mage mansion in Duanmu Huai———— which was the symbol of the Inquisition.

After all, this logo is so vivid that people can't forget it at a glance.

Okay, but Amelia also had to admit that if someone who didn't know the truth saw this, he would definitely think it was some kind of terrible organization that worshiped evil gods.

Like murdering Prince Shirek or something.........

"This must be the work of Ciric's church!"

Sure enough, the next moment the Priest Haim was crying out in a frenzy.

Well, considering that the emblem of the murder prince is a glowing skull, it's not unreasonable.

"But it's not like a sign of Ciric."

As Haim's sworn enemy for 10,000 years——— meaning an enemy who will never give up unless he kills Haim once, the mage quickly gave a different opinion.

"Ciric's emblem doesn't look like this, and they don't have a hammer behind their badge."

"So you mean it's not the sinister, mean, cunning believers of Ciric hiding behind this door, but a bunch of savages?"

The Priests of Heim scoffed at the mage's words——— they were not guilty of their god killing the goddess of magic, and even used it as a model to pass on: Look, even the goddess of magic died at the hands of the faithful Heim's sword, which shows that the power of the guardian is unstoppable!

Well, the Mage Guild didn't directly blow up the Temple of Heim, which is already considered their luck.

But that doesn't mean they won't attack a Heim priest in person.

"Aha, I think you're as narrow-minded as that stupid idiot you believe in, so you can't see the vastness of the world."

The mage sneered.

"In fact, the barbarians of the wilderness are far smarter than you idiots who only know how to hide behind the walls and beg Heim to have mercy on your feet, they are dangerous, but they are not stupid. And you guys......... Hehe..............."

"What do you say? How dare you insult Haim? ”

"If you're not afraid of death, you'll come? I'm afraid you won't make it? ”

The mage raised his staff, the Priest Heim raised it, and the others took a step back.

To be honest, they had no intention of stepping forward to stop it, they just hoped that this boring quarrel would end as soon as possible, or that if the mage accidentally slipped his hand and did something, they could also act as if they didn't see it.

Only Emilia hesitated, as a paladin of Tyre, it seemed that she shouldn't be watching the show from the sidelines now...............

But fortunately, just then, the steel gate opened and slowly opened, stopping this boring fight. Everyone turned their heads, and then they were taken aback——— only to see that behind the steel gate, several tall steel warriors with strange saws were standing there, their eyes shining with scarlet light, and each of them was full of murderous intent.

"Well, I'm sure they're definitely not believers in Ciric."

At this time, the elven ranger also took a step back, clenched his longbow nervously, and whispered to himself at the same time. Cirek is the god of murder, but his followers are not the kind of army that is just in front of him. This is more like the subordinates of Bane, the god of tyranny, and these adventurers know at a glance that the iron warriors in front of them are disciplined and well-trained, and they are not at all comparable to the mad killers of Ciric.

That kind of discipline, iron-blooded and fearless spirit and killing intent, even a few dozen soldiers, gave them the illusion that they were standing in front of thousands of troops, as if there were only a few of them now, and they were about to face a whole heavily armed army with their bare hands, and almost all of them felt some kind of unimaginable terrible pressure.

Either way, it's hard not to get nervous when you see dozens of terrifying beings wearing black steel armor with golden skull emblems inlaid with golden skull emblems and armed with mechanical saws, and looking about as tall as giants.

"Evil!"

And the Black Iron Warrior's outfit obviously irritated the Hem priest, who turned his head and stared viciously at the target in front of him.

"You Shirek cultists! How dare you run so rampant in this northern land! In the name of Holy Heim, I ..............."

"Bang!"

However, before Priest Haim's words were finished, with a deafening loud bang, the next moment everyone saw that the upper body of Priest Haim exploded, and his waist was completely collapsed, and his flesh flew and scattered all over the ground.

"The Inquisition does not allow any questioning or hostility, who are you and what are you doing here?"

"I, we are ..............."

In the face of these steel giants, the warriors in charge of leading the team also stammered for a while, not knowing what to say. He once single-handedly confronted the leader of a tribe of frost giants and slain him under siege. But looking at the Iron Warrior in front of him, he suddenly felt that the Frost Giant Leader he had faced before was as docile as a kitten.

Fortunately, there were people who stepped up at this time.

"We are a special investigative mission organized by Ms. Erastro."

Emilia hurriedly stepped forward, although she was not familiar with these Iron Warriors, but considering Duanmu Huai's temperament and their previous merciless killing of the Hem Priests, Emilia almost guessed that it would not be a good thing to continue like this.

"We're here because there's been a violent explosion in the Lost Lands and we've gotten some bad news, so ............... Is Mr. Duanmu Huai here? We want to talk to him? ”

“…………………”

Hearing Amelia's words, the Iron Warriors were silent for a moment, and then the one in the lead turned his head to look at her.

"The Grand Inquisitor is waiting for you, please come with me."

"Hoo ..............."

At this moment, Emilia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, at least the fate of them being beaten to pieces can be avoided.
