Chapter 1811 Emergency Meeting (I have to go hungry for the next two days)

“……………So, you guys are back just like this?”

Looking at Alicia, An's expression was very complicated, and Alicia spread her hands helplessly.

"I don't know what to do. The Inquisitor's condition is really abnormal. He completely ignored our calls. Besides, I think he is living quite well among those orcs now."

Alicia was not just talking nonsense, but a fact. As more and more orcs gathered, Duanmu Huai stopped killing, and the orcs tacitly stopped attacking. Then Duanmu Huai suddenly raised his war hammer and shouted "WAAAAAAAGH", and then the other orcs raised their hands and cheered. The atmosphere was so enthusiastic that it was as if a new emperor had been elected.

Alicia had no idea what was going on, but she still remembered the doctrine and mission that the Inquisition had shown her, so after that, the three of them quickly chose to evacuate.

In fact, Duanmu Huai is living very well on that planet now. At least from what the reconnaissance fleet observed, Duanmu Huai is commanding the orcs to build orc warships, obviously intending to launch an attack somewhere.

"Uh... Has Mr. Duanmu been brainwashed? Or is he being controlled?"

"I don't think orcs have that ability, but I'm not sure..."

An put his hand to his temple and frowned in distress.

"By the way, what are the characteristics of orcs?"

"Let me see...here."

Gu Leiya took out a manual of the Inquisition that she carried with her - it was mainly used to help everyone identify various aliens.

"Orcs are a warlike, rude and extremely aggressive green-skinned alien race. They are strong, aggressive, muscular, and simple-minded..."

"Okay, now I understand why Mr. Knight gets along so well with them."

An sighed silently.

"If Mr. Knight's skin wasn't green, I would have suspected that he was also an orc."

"What do we do now?"

Kurokawa Akane was a little uneasy. After all, in her opinion, Duanmu Huai was the supreme ruler of the Tribunal. If something happened to him, what would she and others do... Kurokawa Akane really had no way of imagining it.

At this moment, Mary, who had been deep in thought, raised her head and looked at Alicia.

"Ms. Ailishiya, did Mr. Duanmu tell you what this orc crown he wants you to bring is for?"

"I don't know about that. He just said he wanted to use it."

Alicia shook her head, while Mary stared at her notebook and read it from beginning to end.

"Mary, do you have any idea?"

An looked at Mary. As Duanmu Huai's "secretary", the person most likely to figure out what Duanmu Huai was doing would only be Mary.

"According to my records, Mr. Duanmu went to a world through the Unified God Realm before, and then he came back and asked Miss Alicia to give him the task of finding the Orc Crown... Well, I think Mr. Duanmu's search for the Orc Crown is likely for that world."

Mary said this and looked at Ogis who was sitting next to her.

"Ms. Ogis, can you contact Mr. Duanmu?"

Ogis shook her head expressionlessly.

"The owner did not respond. He was in a state of high spirits and confusion."

Duanmu Huai can communicate with the soul card creatures under his command through mental connection. Even if Duanmu Huai cannot explain it directly in words at that time, he can still contact Ojis or An through mental connection.

But now it seems that Duanmu Huai did not do so, for unknown reasons.

"Can we send a fleet to that planet to rescue the Knight?"

Lorena said with some uneasiness.

“I don’t really recommend that.”

Ann shook her head.

"If this is one of Mr. Knight's plans, then sending a fleet there will only cause trouble. And if Mr. Knight really mixed up with those greenskins for some reason, then... sending a fleet there will only cause unnecessary losses."

Everyone present except Heichuan Akane knew how powerful Duanmu Huai was.

By the way, even Kurokawa Akane couldn't understand why Duanmu Huai became like this.

"Then can Satori go over and kill the aliens with the teacher?"

At this time, Mianme Sanatori raised his hand with a smile and asked a question, but was immediately suppressed by An.

"Of course not."

"Ugh... stingy!"

This isn't a question of being stingy...

Looking at the pouting, dissatisfied Mianme-satori, everyone exchanged glances in silence. To be honest, her thinking pattern is quite similar to that of an orc. Maybe she would also shout "WAAAAAGH" and chop around with a Japanese sword. Mianme-satori could really do such a thing.

"Leave this matter to me to investigate."

Mary closed her notebook.

"I will go to that world and investigate what happened to Mr. Duanmu there. The general attack on the Eye of Terror is imminent, and I think Mr. Duanmu will not make trouble at this critical juncture. What he did must be related to this plan. I heard that there are still many Dark Night Guards stationed in the Unified God Realm, and I should be able to get some information from them."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Miss Mary."

Although he was anxious, An knew that Mary was the best person to take charge of this matter. After all, she had to control the overall situation of the Tribunal and could not leave. Although Kurokawa Akane knew Duanmu Huai's personality and behavior patterns very well, she had been in the Tribunal for too short a time to act alone. "But I don't want you to act alone. You are different from Mr. Knight. I think you need a team. You can choose anyone to join this operation and find out the development of the matter as soon as possible... Ecot."

"Yes?"

"Please ask the reconnaissance fleet to continue monitoring. We at least need to know where Mr. Knight is planning to take his 'compatriots'."

"Yes...I will pay attention to it."

"So Miss Mary, who are you going to choose to join you in the investigation?"

"…………………"

Mary stood up, turned her head and slowly looked at the people sitting at the table. Some were nervous, some were expectant, and some didn't care.

"Ms. Kurokawa Akane, please come with me."

"I'm going too? Is that really okay?"

"You are very familiar with Mr. Duanmu's way of thinking. There are some things I hope to find answers with the help of your perspective."

Mary never concealed this fact. She was indeed one of the people who "knew" Duanmu Huai the most, but Mary could not see things from Duanmu Huai's perspective. After all, Duanmu Huai's brain circuits were not comparable to those of ordinary people, so Mary thought that it would be more convenient to take Kurokawa Akane with her to solve the problem instead of thinking hard by herself.

Watson is just Watson after all. It's okay for him to be responsible for recording Holmes' actions, but wanting to become Sherlock Holmes solving cases is another matter.

"Then Miss Lorena, I need your strength."

Lorena is the second strongest fighter in the Inquisition after Duanmu Huai. Although most of the time this petite nun who always likes to run circles in the satellite ring for exercise does not look that powerful, only veterans like Ann and Mary who have followed Duanmu Huai through many battles know Lorena's true ability.

That heavy holy book is not just for show, it can really smash the head of a demon lord.

"Of course, I'll help."

Lorena nodded vigorously.

"And Miss Alicia, I hope you can go with me."

"I?"

"Yes, since Mr. Duanmu has chosen you to carry out this mission, it means that he must think that you will play a very important role in the next plan... Although I don't know exactly what plan Mr. Duanmu has made, I think it would be more convenient if you were by his side."

"OK then."

Alicia smiled and nodded.

"Since it's a beautiful lady who invited me, I won't spoil the mood."

"And then..."

Mary hesitated for a moment and looked at the bored Mianme Satori standing nearby.

"Ms. Satori."

"Hey?"

Hearing this candidate, many people were stunned and subconsciously looked at Mary. Although they didn't say anything, the meaning in their eyes was very clear.

Do you really want to take this guy with you who will draw his sword and kill people at the slightest disagreement?

When Duanmu Huai was here, he could control Menmu Sanatori, but now Duanmu Huai is not here... Is it really okay?

Mary naturally understood this, but she had no other choice. Mary knew very well that Duanmu Huai's style of action had always been cold and cruel. Coldness was fine, but cruelty was something that none of her and her friends could learn. However, the inquisitor's investigation mission also required doing this kind of thing, so since no one could do it, she would find someone who could do it.

From this point of view, Neme-satori, who likes to draw his sword and chop people and likes to listen to others wailing, is indeed the best choice.

Sure enough, after hearing what Mary said, Menme Satori, who had been bored and looking unhappy and angry just now, suddenly had his eyes flashed, and jumped up with his eyes wide open.

"Can Satori go find the teacher?"

"No, but we will investigate what happened to Mr. Duanmu... It can also be regarded as carrying out his plan."

"That's fine, Satori should go."

In fact, Mary also wanted to call Frillian, but she was still in her own world helping the brave Xinmeier and could not come back for a while. To be honest, the experience of this elf wizard was indeed very necessary for them, but there was no way without her assistance.

So Mary turned to Naruse Mio... As a disciple of Fulilian, at least her strength was acceptable.

Naruse Mio seemed quite surprised about the idea of ​​investigating the New World. After joining the Inquisition, she spent most of her time practicing magic and indulging in fighting demons. Thanks to Frillian's demon training method, Naruse Mio has made some progress.

But she naturally would not refuse this request, so she nodded and accepted Mary's invitation.

As for the Night Guard, Mary would naturally mobilize them, as she was the deputy of the judge, she also had the authority to do so. Mary also knew that her ability was not as strong as Duanmu Huai, so it was impossible for her to sneak in alone.

"So, what's the plan?"

After Mary decided on the candidate, Maria was the next to speak. As the head of the engineering department, she looked like she hadn't slept for a thousand years.

“Should we continue to move forward with the plan?”

"The plan remains as usual."

Ann's speech obviously blocked Maria's idea of ​​taking a nap, and he also made a summary speech.

"Whatever Mr. Knight wants to do, that is what the Inquisition is going to do, and that is what we are going to do."
