Chapter 863: Plot Props

When Duanmu Huai returned to the courtroom, he was also tired.

It's not a big problem to deal with ghouls and vampires, but the son of the black goat who appeared in the end brought real losses to the Inquisition, not only the heavy losses on the side of the countermeasures, but even the night guards brought by Duanmu Huai also lost more than a dozen people. You must know that the Night Guard is a soul carrier, and there is no physical body at all. But even so, they will still be parasitized by the son of the black goat. How scary is Nicholas.........

Once again, he strengthened the idea that Duanmu Huai would never take people to that world casually.

The Night Guard can be infected, and he doesn't want to try the soul card if it will be a treat.

Of course, for the Countermeasures Bureau, this plan was finally considered a success, after all, Duanmu Huai directly did not talk about martial arts and completely destroyed the entire 24 districts, including the son of the black goat, everything was burned to charcoal, but the Countermeasures Bureau was also considered to have suffered heavy losses, as for the final beam——— Well, Duanmu Huai didn't say it, and the Countermeasures Bureau could only think that the ghouls jumped over the wall in a hurry to end up together.

Luckily, Area 24 is located in the middle of nowhere, and the Countermeasures Bureau evacuated the surrounding crowd before the battle began, so there were not many civilian casualties.

However, for Duanmu locust......... He's a little bit of a problem.

"Hey, what the hell is this thing for?"

While muttering, Duanmu Huai opened the system menu, and then brought up the inventory, in the inventory, you can see a pitch-black, billiard-sized round bead in sight.

This is something found in the ashes after Duanmu Locust defeated the core of the Black Goat's Son and burned it down.

Here's how the system explains this thing.

【Black Goat Seed (Plot Item)】

Nope.

Duanmu Huai's first reaction was to directly burn or smash this thing, however, no matter whether he smashed it with a war hammer or burned it with a black flame, this thing didn't react at all. Let Mary look at it with golden eyes, and the latter also said that it looked like it was just an ordinary bead, as if there was nothing special about it.

Well, according to the game setting, plot items really can't be sold or destroyed, otherwise if the player throws away an important plot item with a slip of his hand, he really can't cry.

But Duanmu Huai really wanted to throw it, but he couldn't throw it away!

That's right, after making sure that there was no way to destroy this thing, Duanmu Huai even took a battleship to throw this thing into the stars.

As a result, as soon as the front foot was thrown out, the back foot jumped out of the inventory on its own.

This is a game bug, can I report it?

It's a pity that Duanmu Huai pressed the report button badly, and it was useless.

Of course, according to the game, this is definitely not a bug, but Duanmu Huai is flustered.

It's because it's a "story item"!

In what plot did I want to meet Shabu. Nicholas?!

I'm scared stupid, okay.

Duanmu Huai felt that now it was the loving father who jumped out and hugged himself, and a bite was stronger than this.

After all, the mother of the black goat in the legend is really cold, and those who come do not refuse to come, as long as she is a living entity......... What if she finds herself and wants to have a monkey with her?

Thinking about Duanmu Huai makes me feel chills.

But if you can't throw it away, what can you do?

I had to take it with me......... Let's hope nothing happens.

Duanmu Huai silently locked the black bead in the inventory, and then dragged it to the corner and put it down.

Really, hopefully, nothing will happen.

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

Duanmu Huai closed his inventory, and then noticed a gaze staring at him, and he turned his head to see a petite girl with silver hair and red eyes staring at him behind a pillar. Seeing Duanmu Huai find herself, the silver-haired girl grimaced at him, then turned around and ran away.

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

Duanmu Huai sighed again, his relationship with Illya was not bad, but it was not good. To be honest, Duanmu Huai looked at Illya awkwardly, and Illya estimated that Duanmu Huai was also awkward. It's not because of their looks, but because of their position, it's embarrassing in itself.

For Duanmu Huai, Illya is not the daughter born to Alice Phil next to her, but the daughter of Alice Phil and other men in another timeline, no matter how you think about it, it doesn't feel right. And for Illya, her father is not Duanmu Huai, but a man from another timeline who doesn't know what his name is.

So when watching her mother ——— okay, and the mother of another timeline and Duanmu Huai making out together, Illya is estimated to be in the same complicated mood as Duanmu Huai.

Seriously, it's all a mess.

Duanmu Huai felt that he was numb.

Of course, if you think of Alice Phil from another timeline as the sister of Alice Phil from this timeline, it's not impossible......... After all, judging from Illya's statement, it seems that there is indeed a difference between the two.

For example, according to Alice Phil, she was the most perfect artificial human created by the Einzberen family, which is why she became the master of Saber to participate in the Holy Grail War. But according to Elijah, Alice Phil in her world doesn't seem to be a perfect android, so that world chooses to find a magician to cooperate with Alice Phil in the Holy Grail War.

As for what exactly is flawed......... Anyway, this Alice Phil definitely can't be said, and as far as Duanmu Huai is concerned, in his opinion, Alice Phil, as a woman, is indeed perfect, with a good figure, and the skin feels very good, and the reaction is quite cute......... Ahem, off topic.

After all, she's a "perfect" android.

So strictly speaking, the two are still different.

Well, Duanmu Huai can be put down.

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

With a sigh, Duanmu Huai walked into the living room, and Alice Phil, who was sitting there, saw Duanmu Huai and hurriedly stood up.

"You're back, Master."

"Well, I'm back."

"I met Miss Mary just now, and she said she was going to tidy up ........."

"Ah.........h

Hearing Alice Phil's report, Duanmu Huai also smiled bitterly——— the previous tactics against the son of the black goat were perfect, but they were not without losses. The biggest problem, aside from a dozen Night Guards, was ——— Mary's hair was scorched.

In fact, there is no way to do this, in the torrent of energy that can melt even stones, even with the protection of Duanmu and magic barriers, it can't be said that Mary is well protected, not to mention the scorching air, if it is an ordinary person without the slightest protection, the whole body will be scorched directly. Comparatively speaking, Mary only lost some hair, which was not a big deal in Duanmuhuai's eyes.

However, Mary obviously complained a little bit about this, and kept complaining on the way back——— it seems that there is some truth in saying that hair is a woman's life.

Although Duanmu Huai didn't think it was a big deal, it was .........

"Mr. Duanmu, who has no hair, doesn't understand the importance of hair at all!"

It's rare for Mary, who has always been mild-mannered, to be so aggressive......... Strictly speaking, Duanmu Huai is not hairless, he just doesn't like haircuts, so he has a bald head.........

"Mr. Knight should also care more about the girl's heart, for girls, hair is very important."

Ann, who was sitting on the other side, was also shaking the teacup at this time, and said with a smile.

As the number of people in the court grew, several unwritten rules were formed.

Basically, the current situation in the trial court is as follows.

In general, most of the girls centered on Duanmu Huai will drink tea and chat in the reception room, which is a bit like the company's lounge, and everyone will come to the reception room as soon as they come back, say hello to everyone, chat about the recent situation, and talk about their own experiences.

If Duanmu Huai had anything to be notified, he would summon all of them to the operational command room.

In addition, the girls spend most of their time on their own, either in their own rooms, or in the library, and there are ———— who will jog in the entire satellite orbit, well, needless to say, they all know who it is.

"It's just a strand of hair, and it can grow again."

Duanmu Huai didn't think it was very important, Alice Phil's world women's hair can be used as a medium for magic, so almost all female magicians there have long hair, but Mary's hair doesn't need to be used as a medium.........

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

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, An also sighed dumbfounded.

"Places like Mr. Knight are sometimes speechless."

"Alright, I'll remember that you value hair more than gold."

Duanmuhuai didn't want to argue with women on such a topic that he didn't understand at all, just as he didn't understand why women on the Internet would quarrel over the color of lipstick.

Isn't it just to paint your mouth red, what's the difference?

Take 10,000 steps back, that's pink and crimson.

Why is this red and that red, and it is still sold so expensive......... This is a system that men simply cannot understand.

Well, just like women can't understand a man's love for graphics cards.

Aren't they all graphics cards? What is the difference between AMD and NVDIA?

"Is there anything you need to report? I'll go back first. ”

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, I saw that Ao Jisi, who was originally sitting on the side, quickly climbed onto Duanmu Huai's body like a monkey, sat on his shoulder, and glanced at the other people around him, while An and the others shook their heads.

"It's not a big deal."

"Let's get back to that."

Hey, shouldn't there be a eunuch by your side at this time, and then "get up and play every morning, and retreat from the dynasty without capital"?

Let Ogis say this......... Doesn't seem quite right?

Recalling the TV series he had watched, Duanmu Huai muttered, and then turned around and left the living room with Okis.

"I'm back!"

Not long after Duanmu Huai left, I saw Medea also come to the reception room with a smile and say hello to everyone.

"Medea, you're back, what's going on over there?"

Seeing Medea, Alice Phil also poured a cup of tea for her and asked.

"Well, it's good, Arkham City feels great, I love it."

Taking the teacup handed by Alice Phil, Medea replied with a smile while enjoying the black tea. For Medea, Arkham City, located in the world of Feron, is very similar to the world she was in when she was alive, a world of magic, magical beasts, and gods, which makes Medea quite enjoy her comfortable life in Arkham City, and she is also interested in the gods of that world.

It's a pity that there is no goddess Hecate in that world.........

"It's been so hard for you, Miss Medea, and thanks to you, I've finally been free."

Ann also waved her hand at Medea and said———Originally, Ann was in charge of being the magic advisor of Arkham City, but after all, she was still the princess of Manalia, and she needed to manage the situation in Manalia, so she was a little too busy. And the appearance of Medea can be regarded as a relief for Ann, who is also a princess and a powerful magician, and is more proficient in the religion of the gods than Ann, so soon Medea took over Ann's position as a magic consultant, so Ann was able to fish here again.

"It's nothing, I kind of like that world......... Is MASTER back? ”

"Just came back, and he's already gone to rest."

"Alone?"

Hearing Alice Field's answer, Medea's eyes lit up.

"No, Miss Ogis is with him, too."

"Uh............... I really didn't expect MASTER to look so fierce, and it's quite popular with girls. ”

Alice Phil also nodded silently in her heart about Medea's words, although it was hard to say, but in fact, they had a sense of superiority at the beginning. After all, even if Duanmu Huai is strong, but he looks so fierce, he is not the type that ordinary girls like at all, so at the beginning, they didn't think they would have many opponents.

It was only found out in the trial court......... There are really a lot of girls around Duanmu Huai.

And......... Not much worse than them at all.

Although as servants, they have concluded a solid contract with Duanmu Huai, but ......... It's still a little unsettling.

"But then again, there are no men at the top of the court."

"Isn't that good? It's like the temple, after all, if there are too many men, you will get into trouble or something, and I've seen too many of them before........."

As she spoke, Medea sighed.

"What kind of subordinate regiment commander fell in love with the newlywed wife of the superior, and the two eloped together. Or that the man who is a confidant has a secret affair with the king's wife or something, and that's a troublesome thing......... There have been so many similar things in history, even my father......... Forget it, let's not talk about it. Sometimes it's better. ”

"Ah, I did ask Mr. Knight this question, and guess how he answered?"

Hearing the exchange between the two, An also came over with a smile.

"How did you answer that?"

"Mr. Knight said that he would not allow a man more handsome than him to join the court."

“………………………”

Hearing Ann's answer, Medea and Alice Fell glanced at each other.

It seems that there will be no more men in the court.
