MTL - Throne of Magical Arcana-v9 Chapter 7 "Tribunal Tour"
Thick yellow carpet, high ceiling hanging, chandeliers full of candlesticks, exquisite and delicate stone statues, lifelike murals and reliefs, bright and warm atmosphere, make the black small building like a villa of a certain aristocracy, rather than let people The dreaded "Hell".
This is the first impression that the "tribunal" left for Fernando and Douglas. After following the "gatekeeper" through the statue-filled avenue, they formally entered the place where every magician sent his inner fear.
In the hall, except for Fernando, Douglas, and the "janitor", no other tribunal staff moved around, but the two keen senses noticed that several people were hiding in the dark. They seemed to be the first of the "tribunal" Road safety alert.
The "janitor" had a dignified face, slightly exposed Cangjie, and said angrily as he walked: "I doubt your devotion to the Lord. This kind of thing should be reported as soon as possible. If it delays a major event, you wait for the fire to stand on fire. . "
After a pause, he calmed down: "If things go well, you will also get a generous reward."
"Yes, sir." As Douglas looked like Vinoy, Fernando lowered his head and said nothing, as if frightened.
The "normal performance" of the "janitor" and the disclosed information made the "night watchmen" in the dark do nothing, but swept Douglas with the knight's intuition, the clergy's hunch and the magician's mental force field. And Fernando, this inspection has undoubtedly failed to discover their true identity when the two were well prepared.
Of course, Douglas and Fernando didn't pretend to be ordinary people too much. It's not easy to conceal magic fluctuations in the magic circle. They play low-level magicians who are preparing to sell their companions. This identity is half-true and half-false, which effectively hides the facts and does not attract people's attention. After Fowler fell, there were too many similar situations, too much to be numb.
Therefore, the vigils as the first line of warning of the "tribunal" are only slightly curious about what important information they have, but they are not qualified to pay attention to such things.
After walking through the hall. It's an east-west corridor. On either side is a room that is either crunched or opened.
Through the half-open door, Fernando found that there were ordinary clergymen who dealt with words, files, and records, and most of them were not qualified as formal priests.
Until then, he glanced at Douglas. They understood each other's minds from the eyes and slightly relaxed expression. The "tribunal" is still in accordance with the original regulations. Layers of vigilance and defense were laid down, like the strongest fortress, but the perfect layout also required human manipulation. The careless and slack human heart makes all this a vain.
Halfway down the corridor, the "janitor" suddenly opened a closed door. There was no decoration in the door. The grey floor was bare, and a downward staircase was in the middle.
At the end of the staircase is a gray stone gate, painted with simple but profound divine symbols, which seem to be ten crowns symbolizing different meanings, linked together in unique levels and ways.
The eyes of Fernando and Douglas narrowed at the same time and felt its powerful power. This door should be a visual reflection of the entire tribunal's defensive magical circle. After operation, it is almost equal to a Cardinal Nine Class-the current church Is so powerful that only legends can become cardinals.
"The tree of gifts ..." Fernando whispered in his heart, recognizing the signs of the ten crowns.
"The janitor" tapped a few times at the fourth crown, and the rhythm changed significantly. There was a murmur of sound that quickly came out: "Who? What's the matter?"
"The second squad, 'Touch of the Twilight', today's 'Gatekeeper', had two low-level magicians invited to report. The intelligence is very important. I worry that they have concealed or lied, so I brought them in and asked the captain to ask for him." The "janitor" replied neatly, his eyes were sharp and sober, but if he looked carefully, there was a faint divergence and enlargement deep in his pupil.
Under normal circumstances, the whistleblower can only let the "janitor" pass the message, and then the captain of the night watchman decides where to ask them, but the reason for the "janitor" is also very bright. After all, some special magical arrays that distinguish lies Only in the "interrogation room", and similar violations are not two together. Frequent victories have caused the vigils to disregard the detailed rules made by their predecessors, or to remember them at all, and consider them unnecessary.
The night watchman guarding this stone gate was silent for a while, and seemed to be using the identity of the three men outside the core of the magic circle. Thirty seconds later, he said in a calm voice: "Come in."
The rays of light lit up, and the ten "crowns of magic" were shrouded in holiness, and the gate slowly opened.
Douglas exhaled, and was slightly pleased. Although the Captain of the Night Watch came out and interrogated, he could control the other party, but there were many magicians in the underground referee, and the spell fluctuation was easily covered. If he was outside, he could only rely on the constant hacking now. Under the silver and white lightning and roaring thunder.
Behind the gate was a martyr with no end in sight, and the watchman was hiding in the darkness without showing up.
The martyrdom is winding and winding, and there are rows of silver candlesticks on both sides, but they are not lit by candlelight, but by the holy light from the magic circle.
The light is falling, forming a sharp contrast with the gloomy and faint martyrdom, which makes people feel depressed and dull.
After passing through this martyrdom, there was a loud noise. In the wide hall, many people with black gloves came and went, and there were also "interrogators" with red gloves inside, and "sentences" covered in grey cloaks. people".
There are corridors around the hall. From time to time, the atmosphere of magical fluctuations and magical fluctuations comes out. Obviously someone is exercising their abilities or using them to interrogate prisoners.
Regarding the entry of the "janitor" and Douglas and Fernando, the staff of the tribunal did not pay much attention. In their opinion, there was a formal night watchman leading the way and passed the previous inspections. What else could go wrong?
The "janitor" turned into a corridor and knocked on the door of a room with a black skull.
"Come in." There was a majestic voice inside.
Pushing the door open, Fernando saw a middle-aged man with a slender cheek like a poisonous snake.
"They are?" Captain of the Night Watch asked slightly angrily.
The "janitor" closed the door of the room and repeated the words just now.
"Don't be so reckless next time, do a preliminary interrogation on it first." The vigil captain criticized it, but it was not too harsh, then he looked up and looked at Douglas and Fernando. "You know where the Dark Storm is hiding ? Know the headquarters of the "Magic Union"? "
His eyes became hazy, and the holy light on the wall began to flow. Obviously, they are looking for the answer unexpectedly with the help of the special magic circle.
About it. He is full of confidence. Although he is only a fifth-level knight, with the help of the magic circle, advanced magicians are unprepared. Will also be affected. Opposite the two low-level magicians are impossible to resist.
suddenly. He saw a pair of deep and dim eyes, starry inside, holy and charming.
"You guys really know!" The vigil captain stood up sharply. The sound became much louder.
The faint magic wave is so inconspicuous under the flowing light, and it is close to nothing mixed in the similar atmosphere around.
The vigil captain paced back and forth: "This matter is too big, I must report to the 'Actors'! No, I have to invite the 'Slayers' together."
Actors are the giants of county courts, and they also have high-level capabilities.
He opened the door of the room and instructed a night watchman who came over: "Go and ask Lord" Slayer "and let him go to the room of" Actor ". There is important information about the" Dark Storm "and the magician union. ! "
The night watchman passing by quickly nodded and trot to the room of the "hunter", this adult just came to hunt down the "dark storm"! This information must be told to him immediately!
The "slayer" is the "vulture" in their mouth, which made him clenched his fist gently, waiting for an outbreak.
The vigil captain took the "janitor" and Douglas out of the room and headed for the "passer" room in the other corridor. Along the way, Douglas and Fernando looked at the hidden magical lines on the wall with the light of their eyes Arranged and reached the same conclusion. It is very suppressive to the magician here. It will be very laborious to get in all the way, but even so, the two of them have already stood here squarely.
No matter how strong the magic field is, it can open a breakthrough from the "human heart." The victory and tranquility of hundreds of years have made everything so slack, and there is no vigilance and alert to go out to perform tasks.
Walking around, the vigil captain suddenly paused, and half-spokenly said to himself: "It is necessary to bring the magician who surrendered before, and let them face to face."
So he changed direction and went to the other corridor first.
This is the will of Douglas. He must ensure that the "Hunterman" arrives in the "Actor" room before he waits for him, and then the network is exhausted. After all, the fact that the "night watchman" and "janitor" are controlled is difficult to hide. "Substitute", at that time, I am afraid that the goal of "hunter" must be abandoned-time is not enough, as long as the action must be completed in a very short time, and then escape before the church notices.
In the room, Benson drank strong spirits that would normally affect his senses, his expression was unspeakably relaxed, and he was free of fear and anxiety.
Of course, only when you are drunk can you forget your unbelievable grievance before your friend's death.
"Come with me, the" Actor ", some magicians provide information, you help to identify." The vigil captain is very polite.
Benson was a ruddy young man, with good facial features, good looks, and a smile, "This is what I should do."
He glanced at Douglas behind the night watchman and felt very strange, but there were not many mages he knew in the organization, and it was normal to feel strange.
Fernando, who had changed his appearance and breath, also concealed Benson. He just thought funnyly that there was such a short male magician.
He had never thought that Fernando would dare to break in here, but this is the "inquisition"!
Along the way, Benson didn't pay too much attention to the two magicians. Only the low-level ones did not pose a danger to their own status, so they were more talking to the vigilant captain and striving for good interpersonal relationships.
The captain of the night watchman grabbed the staff in the hall and asked a few words, confirming that the "Hunter" had moved to the "Actor" room, so he accelerated his pace and was afraid that his boss would rush over in blame.
The "surrogate" 's room was dressed in black leather and a shadow helmet. The "hunter" was sitting on a dark red chair ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ and asked the "surrogate" in silver and white armor opposite: "There really is a whereabouts of 'Dark Storm'."
"They haven't come yet, and I don't know, but 'Lion' will not invite you blindly." The agent replied,
"Lion" is the code name of the vigil captain.
The "Hunter" nodded, didn't speak again, and waited quietly as if blended into the darkness.
Footsteps came and someone knocked on the door.
"Come in." The "Actor" knew it was the "Lion" coming.
The door slowly opened, and the heartbeat of the "hunter" at the door suddenly accelerated, and he was promoted from the blood of the corpse, and he had an instinct of death.
"No!" He rushed to the door without even thinking about it. Rich experience told him that only by interrupting the other party in advance could he get a chance to survive.
However, everything in front of him became gray and dim, everything was still, as if he had come to another world. (To be continued ...)
