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

After bathing, Mary changed her clothes and walked out of the room to the living room. She flipped through the notebook in her hand, carefully thinking about the subject matter of the next new book——— which is also Mary's habit, although her adventure with Duanmu Huai is indeed thrilling, but from the perspective of literary and artistic works, it still needs some artistic processing. In many cases, Mary made up a story and substituted it into the material she had collected.

After all——— this story is purely fictional, and any similarities are purely coincidental.

For example, in a story about a ghoul, she will also hide the name of the city where she is located, and an organization like the Bureau of Countermeasures will also change its name, after all, many things are classified, and even if everyone knows about it, you can't write it directly. In any case, if you want to write it, you still need permission from the other party, but many times this is tricky.........

"Hello, Mary."

Ann's voice rang out, and Mary looked up, only to see that she was walking into the parlor with a teacup with a teacup and a smile, waving her hand at herself.

"You've worked hard, and you're sorting out the materials again?"

"Well, that's right........."

"Where did you and Mr. Knight go this time? What kind of monsters did you encounter? ”

Hearing Mary's answer, Anton immediately came over excitedly, and the other girls also looked at Mary with curiosity. It's no wonder they have this reaction, because only Duanmu Huai can go to Mary's world, and everyone else is strictly forbidden to enter. And more importantly, Mary was a writer, and she would write the whole story in a book and publish it......... This ability is unique in the courtroom.

In Ann's words, let her narrate basically "I went somewhere with Mr. Knight, met super disgusting monsters, and then I killed them all with a magic 'bang'".

It's basically the same as saying nothing.

So for the girls of the Inquisition, it was still very interesting to listen to Mary's story.

And Mary did not disappoint them, and soon told her about her experience this time, and after listening to Mary's story, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

"Vampires, werewolves, and ghouls who eat people......... Well, if there were these races in Manalia, I would find it tricky. ”

Ann folded her arms and sighed helplessly, while Lorena thought for a moment and looked at Mary.

"Miss Mary, in your opinion, those ghouls......... Is it really damned? ”

"What do I think? To be honest, I can understand their desire to survive, but alas, these ghouls eat people and only rely on cannibalism to survive——— so while they do show some moving thoughts, I think they ......... That's all there is to it. ”

“…………………”

Hearing Mary's answer, the girls were also silent. To be honest, they have also seen a lot of stories in Mary's world, but they are not as complex as the mecha universe, nor are they as grand and gorgeous as the forerunners or reapers, but the human entanglements hidden in it do make people hesitate, such as the little girl who is a ghoul like Mary said, if they are there, they may not necessarily start......... Although I know what Mary said, I .........

Thankfully, they don't have to face that choice.

I have to say that the girls are relieved in their hearts, although they have been to many worlds with Duanmu Huai, but such a tricky world is probably only the world where Mary is. Fortunately, Duanmu Huai didn't let them follow, otherwise they wouldn't know what they would do.

For a while, the atmosphere couldn't help but become solemn.

"Ah, forget it, let's not talk about that."

Ann clapped her hands vigorously, dispelling the somewhat heavy atmosphere.

"Tell me something interesting, have you ever dated Mr. Knight in that world?"

"Dating?"

"That's right, let's hang out together, have dinner together or something, I should have had."

"Let's have dinner........."

Hearing Ann's inquiry, Mary silently turned her head to look out the window——— where the rings were clearly visible in the light of the stars.

"Indeed, Mr. Duanmu invited me to a hotel for dinner, and I heard that the chef at that restaurant is very skilled."

"Oh oh, and then what?"

And then ......... He ate ten steaks, two bottles of red wine, and a few ......... of food."

“………………………”

Hearing Mary's faint answer, the other girls who were originally surrounding to listen to the gossip were directly speechless.

Generally speaking, the purpose of having dinner together is to strengthen the relationship with the woman.

Do you really think this is a buffet dinner?

"Forget it, it was the same when the nobles of Manalia invited him to the banquet, obviously surrounded by young ladies who were eager to come up and talk to him, but Mr. Knight only cared about the food in front of him........."

Ann reached out and pressed her forehead and sighed helplessly.

"Mr. Knight doesn't have any romantic cells in his head, but there are a lot of violent cells."

Hearing Ann's complaints, Mary didn't speak, but put her eyes back on her notebook.

She didn't think that Duanmu Huai didn't have any romantic cells at all, after all, she still remembered that after she got drunk that night, Duanmu Huai stayed with her in her room all night, just because she grabbed his clothes and didn't let him go............ Well, but it's Mary's own little secret, and she doesn't have to share it with anyone else.

After all, it's a bit of a shame.

In the next few days, Duanmu Huai regained a bit of leisure, although he was a judge and the ruler of Arkham City, but basically these things would be done by other people, Duanmu Huai only needed to read the report and seal it, if it was not a particularly troublesome matter, he didn't need to deal with it.

As for the black bead, it was lying very peacefully in Duanmu Huai's inventory, and it looked like something useless——— maybe it was really useless?

Duanmu Huai still remembers that similar things have happened more than once in the game, for example, a certain task is to expel demons, players need to find the holy book, and then arrange the magic circle according to the holy book, and then expel the demon——— this is a normal process.

But some ruthless people were too lazy to arrange the magic circle, and directly resisted and killed the demons.

Then the holy book is useless, but because the holy book is regarded as a necessary plot item to expel demons in this task, it will disappear after creating the magic circle according to the steps, but the player did not create the magic circle, so the holy book was not used, so it can't be discarded and destroyed, it can only be kept to occupy the space, and the player has complained about it several times, but this bug has not been fixed.

On the bright side, maybe this bead is actually a quest item used to destroy ghouls, but the ghouls are eliminated, so they don't use it?

Well, although Duanmu Huai wants to think so, but unfortunately it's unlikely——— after all, eliminating the ghoul didn't activate the task at all.

How can there be quest items?

"Okay, that's pretty much it."

Duanmu Huai put the document in his hand aside, and then stretched, and at this time, Ogis used both hands and feet, and lay on his back again.

"Ogis, do you have to hold me?"

"Hmm."

"Hey............ Forget it, whatever you want. ”

Hearing Aojisi's answer, Duanmuhuai could only sigh helplessly, since he came back that day, Aojisi has basically been like a creeper, has been wrapped around him, anyway, Duanmuhuai is tall, and Aojisi on him is like a kitten, but there is no big obstacle.

"Dididi............!"

At this moment, suddenly the communication sounded, and then Miyana's voice was as innocent and optimistic as ever, as if there was no slightest annoyance, sounded in Duanmu Huai's ears.

"Morning~~ Master, I have something to report to you~~~"

"What's the matter?"

"Is it Mr. Dardanelle's newsletter, do you want to get it?"

"Dardanelle? What the hell did he make a fuss about? ”

Hearing the name of this merchant ronin, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes speechlessly, in his impression, the other party usually looks for him to deal with trouble——— well, but Duanmu Huai wants him to be okay and not to call him all the time, which can't be blamed on him.

"Take it in."

"Yes~~~"

Soon, the picture flashed in front of him, and then the mustachioed and shrewd businessman appeared on the screen in front of Duanmu Huai, looking at Ogis lying on Duanmu Huai's shoulder, Dardanelle was stunned for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses and smiled at Duanmu Huai.

"It's great to see that you're still so healthy, Your Excellency Inquisitor."

"Something to talk about, what trouble did you encounter this time?"

"This ............... Strictly speaking, it's not a nuisance........."

"Huh?"

"I wonder if you're interested, Judge......... Attending a banquet? ”

"Banquet?"

"That's right..............."

While speaking, Dardanelle also explained to Duanmu Huai. The matter still came from the alliance between the previous Tower Council and the War Planet and the Demon Planet, when they also sent a message to Duanmu Huai, but Duanmu Huai said that the Inquisition did not intervene in political affairs and directly called back.

And now, the four parties, including Dardanelle, have successfully negotiated and reached an agreement——— simply put, with the planets controlled by Dardanelle, form an alliance with other planets, and Dardanelles' Chamber of Commerce will become the only designated official chamber of commerce alliance among the alliance forces.

In other places, this kind of thing is actually very difficult to do, but the problem is that the people on those planets are either killed by aliens, demons, or orcs, and they can't even find a formal business establishment, so Dardanelle naturally laughed at this franchise.

Naturally, they were going to throw a party to celebrate, and then sign a contract at the banquet.

Since the Inquisition was connected to these planets, and Dardanelle knew that without the Inquisition, he would not have been able to do what he is today, so he specially invited the Inquisition to come to the banquet.

Besides...............

"The Galactic Business Alliance will also send people to participate in ........."

"You're actually getting involved with someone from the Galactic Business Alliance?"

Hearing this name, Duanmu Huai's brows furrowed, the Galaxy Business Alliance is a large cross-galaxy commercial organization, and it can also be regarded as a relatively famous business alliance organization in this world.

And the reason why Duanmu Huai's tribunal didn't deal with them is also very simple.

The Galactic Business Alliance is full of aliens.

In other words, they're all aliens.

They weren't ancient races like the Eldars, the Ancient Saints, the Death-Dread, or the Star Gods, nor were they once brilliant civilizations like humans and orcs———— so to speak, the aliens in this alliance were all young alien races, that is, races that had grown up in the thousands of years since the destruction of the Human Empire.

If you use humans as an analogy, the ancient saints are considered to be the generation of grandfathers, the human empire is considered to be the older generation, and the alien races in this galaxy business alliance are basically those non-mainstream gangsters who are fifteen or sixteen years old and are in the period of rebellion, and they don't know what they are.

Well, in fact, it's pretty much the same.

Duanmu Huai didn't want to fight them before, because this alien alliance is too far away from the current territory of the Inquisition, and it is not worth crossing most of the galaxy for it, and now the world of Faeron is still very dangerous, and it is not good to pick up sesame seeds and throw watermelons.

But now, they're actually delivered to the door on their own?

"You should know the rules of the Inquisition."

"Of course I do."

"That's good."

Although Dardanelle didn't say anything, Duanmu Huai also understood that he had actually said everything.

"Okay, I got it."

Duanmu Huai thought for a moment and nodded.

"I'll go to the banquet."
