Chapter 1010 Mary’s decision

The food cooked by Rias and Maria was still delicious, but the atmosphere at the dinner table seemed a bit dull. Although Mary seemed very calm, the reactions from Naruse Mio and Rias... were a bit unusual.

"What's wrong? Are you having a quarrel?"

Duanmuhuai ate his meal and looked curiously at the two silent people in front of him, while Rias shook her head.

"No, teacher, we didn't quarrel. We just..."

"only?"

"We just... don't quite understand the Inquisition's practices."

"What don't you understand?"

Duanmuhuai blinked doubtfully.

"Ghouls, they eat humans and must be completely annihilated. Didn't I say before that the goal of the Tribunal is to protect mankind at all costs and destroy any existence that tries to threaten mankind. That is, the three of you now There is a truce. If it had been a few hundred years ago that the three of you had fought and humans had been involved, then our Tribunal would have definitely annihilated all three of you without hesitation."

"Is this necessary?"

Hearing this, Naruse Mio was shocked, while Duanmu Huai just shrugged.

"Of course, in fact, you don't need to think too complicated. The Inquisition will never be like those boring religious believers who declare that we are just and you are evil before starting a war, so we have legitimate reasons to beat you. …This kind of thing doesn’t matter to the Inquisition at all.”

"...It doesn't matter?"

"Yeah, you see, it's just like humans eradicating rats. What did the rats do wrong? Did they steal food? Spread the plague? But this is not voluntary by rats. They are born to do this. This is their instinct, and Evil has nothing to do with it. But in order to prevent rats from harming their interests, humans will eliminate rats. And the same goes for cockroaches..."

"Master Duanmu, you are eating now."

Wan Liya spoke hurriedly to interrupt Duanmu Huai, and several other girls nodded.

"...Okay, as long as you know what it means."

Duanmuhuai shrugged silently.

"Perhaps for you, it is necessary to demonstrate your own justice and the evil of the other party before starting a war, but it does not matter to the Tribunal. For us, it only depends on whether they pose a threat to human existence. You see , ghouls eat people, and make a living by eating people - there is nothing you can do about it, no matter whether there are good people among them, since they eat people, they must be eliminated, there is no need for justice or evil in this .The only thing that needs to be considered by the Inquisition is the issue of purification or not."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of hamburger meat.

"Like this, to eat? Or not to eat? It's that simple."

After saying that, Duanmu Huai opened his mouth and stuffed the burger meat into his mouth.

"Well, Rias, you did a good job."

"Thank you teacher for the compliment."

Perhaps Duanmu Huai's metaphor was so disgusting that after that, everyone stopped worrying about this issue. After they were full of wine and food, Duanmu Huai also sat on the sofa, patted his belly, and then looked at Mary.

"By the way, Mary, have you brought what I asked you to bring?"

"Bring it, Mr. Duanmu. To be honest, your request is really strange."

As she spoke, Mary took out a wallet-sized bag from her pocket and handed it over. Duanmuhuai opened it and looked at it, then nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad, not bad. I've managed to survive."

"Teacher, what's in there?"

Naruse Mio was also curiously looking at the small pocket in Duanmu Huai's hand, which was no bigger than his palm, with a curious look on her face. When hearing Naruse Mio's question, Duanmuhuai chuckled.

"Want to know? Watch, I'll do a magic trick for you."

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai opened his pocket, then turned it over and shook it twice.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw a gold brick fall out of the pocket and land on the table with a "dong" sound.

"Whoa!"

Seeing this scene, Rias, Mio Naruse and even Maria opened their eyes in surprise and almost jumped up.

However, it was not over yet. Then, under their gaze, they saw gold bricks falling from it one after another, and in the blink of an eye, they piled up into a hill!

"What's going on? Is this some kind of magic trick?"

Seeing this, the three girls immediately gathered around. No wonder they were so surprised, because the pocket looked no bigger than a gold brick, but dozens of gold bricks fell out. It was like a magic trick on TV!

Rias also picked up a piece full of doubts - it's so heavy! It's the real deal!

"How? Isn't it interesting?"

Looking at the puzzled girls surrounding him, Duanmu Huai also burst out laughing. When he came into this world, his biggest problem now was lack of money. After all, the system sent him here without giving him any money. Now that Duanmuhuai wants to build a branch of the Tribunal here, there will definitely be a lot of money to spend. His physical education teacher's salary of three melons and two dates would not be enough for a lifetime.

Thanks to the invitation function, you can also leave messages, so Duanmuhuai asked Mary to take a space pocket and put some valuable things in it to sell.

Of course, it is not possible to take money directly, because banknotes in all worlds are not universal. Even if Duanmu Huai pays with gold coins from the world of Faerûn or credits from the Star Alliance, the world will not recognize him.

So the best way is to bring valuable things and sell them here.

And gold bricks and gems are basically the hard currency in all worlds... Fortunately, Mary brought a space pocket, because Duanmu Huai had always used the system's inventory before, so she didn't think about these problems. It seems that when you go out by yourself in the future, you will have to bring something valuable with you.

"Is this also some kind of artifact?"

Rias watched Duanmu Huai open her pocket curiously, put the pile of gold bricks back in, and asked. After all, she had observed it carefully, and it was obviously not a trick. In other words, was it some kind of artifact? And this kind of strange artifact?

But I have to say, this thing is quite useful.

"Uh...how do I put it...just take it as it is."

After all, although this thing is not very rare in the world of Faerûn, it is also quite expensive, and ordinary adventurers will definitely not be able to afford it.

Duanmu Huai now has enough capital to take action in this world.

After making sure that he had food in his pocket, Duanmu Huai finally thought of business.

"By the way, Mary, come to my room later."

"………………!"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Rias, Naruse Mio and Maria all turned their heads and stared at him with wide eyes. The latter rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Seriously, don't you have anything else to think about every day?!"

What is going on with the girls in this world? So humble?

Fortunately, Mary is reliable and does not always cause trouble like Rias and others. After hearing Duanmuhuai's words, she also came to Duanmuhuai's room very obediently. After Duanmuhuai closed the door, he carefully explained the situation to Mary.

I have to say that after listening to Duanmu Huai's words, Mary was also quite surprised.

"Family of God?"

"Yes, you are very strong, and your golden eyes are also very powerful, but you are still just an ordinary girl after all. Like before in the wasteland, a miniature nuclear bomb can pose a threat to you, which is very... No. And if you become my divine companion, it will not only enhance your physical abilities, but also ensure that your soul will not be taken away by other evil gods or chaotic demons. Even if you die, As long as your soul is in my hands, I can still resurrect you."

"I think no matter who encounters a nuclear bomb, there's nothing they can do..."

Hearing this, Mary also broke into a cold sweat and complained silently.

"What do you think? After all, the decision is yours. For me, you are a very reliable companion and helper. Not only the golden pupil, you yourself are also very important to me."

Duanmu Huai was right. There were so many women around him, but there were really few as reliable as Mary...

"Then...what will I become after becoming a member of the gods?"

"Well, the lifespan will be very long. Basically, if I don't die, you won't die either. And you won't get old. As I said before, your physical fitness will be greatly enhanced according to the characteristics of the chess pieces... Of course, what is the specific situation? I don’t know either, after all, I haven’t tried it before.”

"That's it... then, what chess piece does Mr. Duanmu plan to give me?"

Regarding the characteristics of the chess pieces, Mary had already listened to Duanmu Huai's explanation, so she was relatively clear about it.

"Queen."

"Why?"

Mary was stunned for a moment when she heard Duanmuhuai's unhesitating answer.

"Queen... I remember, there is only one queen chess piece. Is it really okay to give it to me?"

"Of course, you are the most important to me."

Duanmu Huai answered without hesitation. The only person around him who needed and must be strengthened in all aspects was Mary. Therefore, in Duanmu Huai's view, giving the queen to Mary was the most appropriate choice.

When she heard Duanmuhuai's answer, Mary's reaction was a bit strange. She turned slightly, her ears turned red... It seemed that she didn't dare to look at Duanmuhuai.

What's happening here?

"I see."

Just when Duanmuhuai was confused, Mary seemed to have made up her mind, taking a deep breath, and then turned to look at Duanmuhuai again.

"Then, according to the words of this country... the little girl is not talented, so please give me some advice."

"Ah, oh......"

Looking at Mary, Duanmu Huai scratched his head inexplicably.

Could it be that I said something wrong?
