It seems that the God of Contract and Law is indeed a god who is truly devoted to building his own power. Although Estelon does not have a military strength that exceeds the version, it has developed from a small split country to one of the four giants on land today, and even encompasses absolute air combat advantages and alchemy skills. Perhaps if it had been a hundred years later, Estelon might really have replaced the title of the El Empire's number one military power.
Rusalka: (For example, developing an automatic rifle?)
Sanita: (The probability isn't high. This world probably doesn't even have a periodic table of chemical elements, but it's hard to say it's impossible. Perhaps some wizard suddenly makes a breakthrough in magic, like turning chain fireballs into a trick, and is willing to make it public, allowing everyone to use it and become a soldier. That would definitely change the current war situation. Of course, this goal won't be achieved after your arrival.)
Rusalka: (Why? Because I'm invincible?)
Sanita: (No, because the first creature without magic power was born in this world, so it can no longer be used by all people.)
Rusalka: (Damn, don't be so proud. I curse you to be bitten by mosquitoes 78 times when you return to Earth.)
My brother seems to be a bit vicious.
This meeting was the first time in the hundred years since the establishment of the Esterlen Tribunal that two emergency sessions had been held consecutively within five years. Moreover, this time the chief judge personally issued a notice and order that all six jurors of the tribunal, or six members of the tribunal, must appear in court in person and may not ask for leave for any reason other than a life-threatening situation.
Thanks to the arrival of Rusalka, the Grand Duke of Snidi, the members of Esterlen were able to experience Snidi's labor system - the aristocratic core system.
The noble Grand Duke has condescended to come and inspect your territory. How dare you let your subordinates take a holiday? What else are you going to do?
To briefly summarize this meeting, it can be summarized into two topics, each centered around one core.
Needless to say, the core is of course Rusalka.
Topic 1: Rewi Alley in Rusalka.
Topic 2: Rusalka’s spaceship.
Although these two things may have nothing to do with Rusalka, it is unlikely that they have nothing to do with Rusalka.
The above sentence is not a grammatical error. Through Qi Weiya's description, its logic itself is surprisingly smooth, which makes several parliamentarians present who have nothing to do with the incident feel a little outrageous.
The chief judge of Estelun has the surname Moming Wujue, which is the same single surname and double name format of the oldest human family as the Guardian Knight family. When put together, it is Mo Wujue, or according to current custom, it can be called Mo. Wujue separately.
According to legend, his family never married or had children, and the lineage was passed down through the "inheritance system". When the head of the family felt that his time was up, he would find an heir in Estelon, pass on his skills and ideas to the other person, and then when he died, the heir would inherit the blessing and power of the gods, as well as his own name, and continue to serve as the chief judge.
This method of inheritance sounds very unreliable. People who know the inside story will wonder if one day the chief judge who has inherited the throne fails to find an heir and dies due to an accident, then what will happen to the position of chief judge and the power of the gods?
But over the past thousands of years, countless people and families who raised this question are no longer around, but Mo Wujue is still sitting here, giving the most powerful answer in this silent way - it doesn't matter, the gods will take action.
There are three council members on the left. The first one is Qi Weiya dressed as a mage. The second one is a middle-aged man wearing a cowboy hat. The third one is a male mermaid who looks listless and dozes off with his eyes half closed.
The first person on the right was also a human female, who was hurriedly writing on a pile of documents in front of her. The second person was a paladin, and the only councilor who sat upright and looked at Mo Wujue seriously. The last person was also an elderly human mage.
However, he was completely azure blue, clearly an elemental clone, and his original form wasn't present. When he was invited, he'd left a note: "If you interrupt this experiment, it would be easier to kill me. It's no big deal. I'll just send my clone to listen."
Mo Wujue calmly opened the meeting: "Let's talk about Rusalka first. First of all, the latest intelligence shows that he has just become the Grand Duke of Snidi, and a group of gray mercenaries from our Esterlun attacked him at his wedding. I think, based on objective evidence and facts, this matter should have nothing to do with you all."
The other council members who were not worried all looked at Qi Weiya at the same time, and she replied calmly, "Of course."
"That's good. The second thing is, Rusalka's purpose for coming this time has nothing to do with that mermaid."
Qi Weiya asked doubtfully, "Didn't he come here to use the mermaid wanted by the sea tribe as a bargaining chip?"
Mo Wujue said expressionlessly, "Do you think the value of a mermaid royal family is worth the risk of him coming here in person to make a deal? He's not trading with the sea people, and we obviously don't have anything worth his coveting."
The Paladin nodded: "That being said, he still came."
"It's simple, because he is the Messenger of the End."
Mo Wujue's words startled those who were dozing off, rushing to complete tasks, distracted, and the clone who was not sure whether he was online or not. Six pairs of eyes looked at him in unison.
Qi Weiya's expression was clearly excited about the news. She knew about the Messenger of the Apocalypse. Or rather, the entire Esterlun Tribunal knew about it. He was a wanted man by the gods. If Rusalka was really the Messenger of the Apocalypse, wouldn't that mean they could kill him at will without even having to find a reason? "Mr. Chief Judge, are you sure?"
"Sure. Abandoning the construction of the territory and coming here alone when the Gate of Hell is about to reappear is completely unbecoming of a noble. Who else could it be but the Messenger of the End?"
The six of them nodded, but each of them had their own thoughts in their eyes.
Mo Wujue slowly stood up and propped his arms on the table. "However, even though I'm certain he's the Messenger of the End, in Esterlon, as long as he doesn't break the law and doesn't reveal his identity, he's a distinguished guest of Snidi and is protected by the law. So, I hope everyone won't be too impulsive before he reveals himself, lest you go against the will of the gods."
He didn't delve further into the topic, but instead turned the conversation to Rewi Alley: "Then, the third thing, Ms. Qi Weiya, do you know the Patriarch named Rewi Alley?"
"Maybe. This probably happened more than ten years ago, on the eve of my official joining the Tribunal. I can't quite remember the details."
Qi Weiya joined the Inquisition ten years ago through the recommendation of the School of Knowledge mage organization. The School of Knowledge was popular in Estron, and there were three of them in the Inquisition alone, namely the old mage who sent the elemental substitute, Qi Weiya, and the man wearing a cowboy beanie who didn't look like a mage.
Mo Wujue frowned slightly: "You really can't remember?"
"real."
"Well, since you can't remember it anymore, let's adjourn here."
Qi Weiya hurriedly said, "Ah, wait! Mr. Chief Referee, I'm sorry, I think I remembered something."
"Go ahead."
"Actually, more than a decade ago, I went to her village, a cursed place called Shishi Village in Esdiri, and performed some small experiments on her, who was not affected by the curse. Of course, it was consensual on both sides, and there was no coercion at all."
"Is there a contract?"
"Well, I also suffered from not understanding contracts at that time, so I didn't ask the God of Contracts and Law to witness it."
"Are there any witnesses?"
Qi Weiya insisted: "No, absolutely not. I have been paying attention to it. The whole village was completely 'purified' by that great saint."
"Really? Purify them all? But how do I see it? Now this Ai Liming has survived and even became the Patriarch. Now that the Messenger of the End has found her and wants to use her as an excuse to kill you, are you really sure that there are no survivors?"
Mo Wujue spoke very bluntly, causing Qi Weiya's face to turn ashen instantly. If the prophecy card was correct, then the one who brought the destruction might not be the mermaid, or the mermaid might be an unrelated adopted child, and it was the messenger of the end who followed her who was the real culprit who wanted to kill her.
But it is obvious that the members of this parliament do not feel like one family to each other. When others heard that Qi Weiya was in trouble, most of them were indifferent, acted as if it was none of their business, and went about their own business.
Only the Paladin, who had been attending the meeting seriously, spoke up. "I've heard about this, too. The entire village must have been purified. I suspect that Ai Li was held hostage by the Messenger of the End, or that she deliberately left a backup plan, allowing her to escape from the High Saint's blockade."
Mo Wujue asked, "So if she comes to court in person to accuse you, and you ask for divine judgment or use Esidi's mind-reading technique next door, do you have a good chance of winning?"
Qi Weiya remained silent instead of answering.
"Is that so, Qi Weiya? You've contributed a lot to the parliament, and I'm very satisfied with the results of your research on that curse. You once said that knowledge and progress always come with sacrifice, and I understand your thinking. How about this? I'll help you buy time and suppress public opinion, so you don't have to show up in person."
Mo Wujue: "But if that Ai Li really shows up in person and comes here to seek divine judgment, we cannot violate the strict rules set by the God of Contract and Law."
"Qi Weiya, I've always heard that you're a very kind person. You've taken in many 'wanderers' who, for various reasons, have lost their asylum in Esterlun, providing them with humanitarian care and the most basic living security. I hope you can always maintain this kindness. If Rewi Alley really does come to the Free City in person, then use your love to influence Rewi Alley, okay?"
Qi Weiya nodded, and after the surprise in her eyes that Mo Wujue, the guy who never left the Twin Towers, knew her trump card, there was a hint of ruthlessness.
"That's all I have to say. As for Rusalka's spaceship, it's an antique left behind by the Cult of Time. He might have a great wizard or a skilled craftsman under his command. It's a miracle that it can now fly. Dropping flyers is the limit. I will dispatch air forces from all directions to limit its threat. I hope everyone can do their job well and not let the bounty on the Messenger of the End go to your heads and start muddying the waters."
"Remember, in Esterlen, order is above all else."
"Meeting dismissed."
Chapter 359 Fantasy Breaker
The next day, after a long break, Rusalka got up to wash and change clothes, and found that Phoenix was not beside her.
She was sitting at the small table over there, with her ears and tail drooping, a rare sight. She looked dejected and her head lowered, being lectured by Hydra, who was sitting opposite her with his eyes closed but still a serious expression on his face.
"Sister, I know you've grown up and you can relax a little after getting married. I understand that. But do you know what moderation means? After all, we are in enemy territory and we are staying in accommodations arranged by others. How can we be so carefree at night? Aren't you really afraid of not seeing the sun tomorrow? Although we are not native Filins of the El Empire, we must never forget our roots, especially at night, which should be our home turf. But you, on the other hand, fell asleep right after having fun."
"It's fine to learn from humans, but why don't you learn how to use magic and how to fight? You only learn the bad things instead of the good ones."
"Luckily, I'm here so I can keep watch for you all night. What would you do without me? If you keep doing this every day, can you really expect your spouse who sleeps even more soundly than you to protect you? Are you still a Filin?"
"Also, I've noticed a really bad problem with you. You're clearly a noble of Snidy now, but you have no manners at all. You don't act like a noble at all. You wake up and sneak off to eat alone without even saying hello to me or asking me to come with you. Is it because Lord Pearl Tear dotes on you too much at home?"
"The demons are about to invade, and you're acting so careless right now. How can I let you go to the front lines with me?"
Phoenix didn't dare to retaliate even after being scolded by Hydra. She just lowered her head and drew circles on the ground with her tail. It was really like there was always someone to conquer.
When she saw Rusalka get up, her ears immediately perked up. She turned her little face to look at her savior and, for the first time ever, took the initiative to greet Rusalka: "Good morning."
"Good morning, Phoenix, sister-in-law."
When Hydra saw Rushaka getting up, the lesson came to an abrupt end.
She might have planned to bring it up later, but Phoenix wasn't stupid and probably wouldn't consider rooming with her anytime soon.
After the three of them finished breakfast together, they met Daiya who was waiting at the door with her men.
"Good morning, Your Majesty, Grand Duke Pearl Tears. I am here to escort you to the Twin Towers."
There are also horse-drawn carriages in Estelon, because in this world, magic technology cannot be popularized. Putting aside military supplies, in daily life, it is much more convenient for horses to pull people than for people to drive.
Their carriage was being watched all the way. These paparazzi were always the companions of the media. Diya was afraid that Rusalka would not like it, so she apologized to him and told him that the situation would end when they arrived at the Twin Towers.
Finally, their carriage drove all the way to the heavily guarded entrance to the basement. After seeing the certificate presented by Daiya, the surrounding guards nodded and said, "Three of you, two Ferrins and a Grand Duke from Snidi. Yes, please leave your weapons and other things here."
Hydra and Phoenix cooperated by throwing some knives on the ground. Rusalka said that he was only wearing two pieces of armor and cooperated by taking off the heavy armor on the outside. After seeing that he really had nothing on his body, the guard nodded and signaled that Rusalka and his group could pass.
In fact, Hydra can draw bound artifacts from the void; Phoenix has his own small space in the shadow plane where he stores a lot of weapons and supplies; and Rusalka, a mobile arsenal, is even more so.
Even with magic, this kind of body search would not be able to detect how these three people would display their magical powers at that time.
Seeing that Daiya didn't come over, Rusalka asked, "Aren't you going to follow?"
"what?"
"Didn't you say we could have a local guide accompany us? You even recommended yourself. I think that's great. You can come along."
Of course, this sentence was made up by Deya. She thought that if Rusalka asked for it, those bigwigs would not refuse, so she said that at the time.
So now her mind was a little confused: "But didn't you refuse?"
Rusalka spread her hands and said, "I don't remember ever saying no."
Thinking about it carefully, Rusalka just pushed her body away at that time, and it seemed that she really did not say that she was not allowed to go with them.
Are these still the same greedy and lustful Sindhi nobles we know from the Truth Broadcasting?
At this moment, Daya did not feel overjoyed, but felt deeply regretful and unwilling, because last night she thought Rusalka had refused, so she only reported the three of them. Now, even if Rusalka agreed, it would be too late for this temporary report.
I actually missed such a good opportunity to enter the Twin Towers!
Just as she was about to regret it, the guard beside her suddenly reached out and tapped his ear. He said to Daiya, "Executive Daiya, you have been approved to follow them in. However, before you lead them to the top floor, you must fulfill your duties as a guide. You must not leave your post without permission or deviate from the established route. If you agree, please sign this contract."
Daiya barely even glanced at the contents of the contract. She stretched out her slightly trembling fingers and quickly wrote her name in beautiful handwriting at the end of the signature section.
In Esterlen, signing a contract is a daily routine, and the reason why Rusalka didn't let them sign it was probably because they were guests and didn't force them to follow local customs.
"Okay, leave your weapons outside and come in."
The group walked into the basement smoothly.
Everyone first walked through a long corridor. Daiya realized as if she had just woken up from a dream that she was really about to enter the Twin Towers she had dreamed of. Seeing that there was no one around, she could no longer hide the joy and excitement in her heart. Her breathing and pace became much faster, and she hurried ahead.
But this was not enough to soothe her emotions, so she couldn't help but introduce the history of the Twin Towers to Rusalka: "The Twin Towers, the power center of our Esterlen, were actually built during the Evil War..."
"I've heard this part of history. Can you tell me something modern?"
Daiya thought for a moment and said, "Actually, the Twin Towers have a very unique structure. It has no doors or windows. It's a completely enclosed tower, so no one outside can get in."
A building without doors and windows?
"Does it mean that in order to enter this building, you must have a level 4 esper who can move coordinates to lead you in?"
"Huh?" Daiya was stunned. She didn't quite understand what Rusalka said, and she didn't know whether to nod or shake her head. "It's true that you need teleportation to enter, and this authority is only granted to the Grand Judge. The place we're going to next is the teleportation entrance."
Rusalka touched her chin. "I imagine your Chief Judge is still hanging upside down in a jar, secretly spying on the outside world every day."
"Oh? Is that so?" Obviously, Deya had no idea what the chief judge looked like. Whether he was a man or a woman was a big question mark. The most important thing was that Rusalka's description was too abstract. It was hard to imagine any creature living upside down in a jar. It sounded like bragging, but it sounded very credible to her.
Human cognition is limited and within a framework. If you have never seen this kind of creature, how could you come up with such an idea that a normal person would never think of in his lifetime?
"But you can't use such negative words to describe him. He's a great man who led Estron to prosperity. He's just quietly protecting this country!"
Everyone walked into the small room at the end of the corridor and stepped on an obvious ground mark. The next moment, the runes on the ground lit up, and the surrounding scenery changed rapidly. The surroundings were full of clouds and mist, and a few steps appeared in front of them, leading to a golden door.
Rusalka: (Damn, he sent me to heaven.)
Standing by the door was a man and a woman, both dressed in ceremonial attire and beautiful in appearance. They bowed slightly to the group and opened the door for them with a smile on their faces: "Welcome to Youmobang."
Come to think of it, this tower is called the Twin Towers, so the places inside must have their own names.
You Mobang, this name is good. Just hearing it makes Rusalka feel a little greedy, and she thinks she wants to eat the flesh of the sin-eating spirit.
Daiya walked up the stairs excitedly, her face flushed and her calves trembling, as if she had really arrived in the kingdom of God.
Seeing her like this, Rusalka couldn't help but tighten her thighs as she stepped onto the stairs: (Oh no, does this Hanged Man have a remote control? She's acting like there's an old man exerting force on the stairs. Honestly, I'm really scared. Maybe the cat shouldn't go up there. I'll go alone. I'm a fire element, so I'm resistant to grass.)
Sani Tower: (Question mark.)
The world behind the gate is indeed completely different from the outside. The entire twin towers are more like layers of urban living circles than a building structure. Each floor has residences, schools, public facilities, shops, etc.
Adequate material supply ensures the quality of life there, and what is very different from the elves in the Elf Forest is that the people here have more advanced means of entertainment. Rusalka even saw the existence of a special kingdom sandbox battle store, which made this addicted player who either couldn't beat anyone at home or didn't dare to beat anyone suddenly feel itchy to fight.
Look, what did I find? A wild, bustling card shop! Hey, I just happened to have a 71-card deck with 40 Divine Monument main cards, 15 bonus cards, and 15 spare cards. How could such a coincidence happen? I had to go in and take a look!
