Chapter 1013: Expansion of Power
I have to say that Mary's arrival did make Duanmu Huai relax a lot.
Those golden brick Duanmuhuai found a channel to contact the rabbit next door, and then sold them all.
After all, the depreciation of the Japanese yen is like scum. Even if Duanmuhuai has money, he will not buy the Japanese yen. He will simply switch to other currencies with stronger purchasing power.
With money in his pocket, Duanmuhuai didn't panic at all. He first spent a large amount of money to buy the church where the Fallen Angels and others had previously used as their base. Of course, the church itself had been dilapidated in the previous battles, but luckily the church was in a good location. It is not far below the residence of Duanmu Huai and others. As a fortress, it is quite qualified.
So Duanmu Huai then cleaned up the ruins of the church, and then rebuilt the church of the Tribunal on top - he did not use the construction team here. After all, all the engineering teams in this damn place are construction immortals. A gate can be built for you for five years and it is said that it is hand-polished and ingenious... Duanmu Huai would have shot them a hundred times in the Inquisition.
So he directly used the magic servants brought by Mary. These magic servants never eat, drink or sleep. They work twenty-four hours a day as long as they have magic power. All you have to do is buy the materials and throw them there, and people will consciously work according to the drawings.
Look, these are real workers.
As for Mary, she also directly transferred to Kuoh Academy as a transfer student.
By the way, although Mary's current age is indeed a high school student, she has actually graduated from college, because Mary's education is different from that of ordinary children. She received family education when she was a child, and then went directly to the Royal Masters College - which meant that Mary basically went to college directly without going to middle school or high school.
Well, if you think about it carefully, considering that the Royal Master Academy attracts top talents from the empire, you won't be able to get in if you don't have any skills, right?
So Mary was somewhat looking forward to going to high school in Japan.
As a beautiful girl, Mary's enrollment naturally caused a sensation. Not to mention her status as a foreigner, Mary's demeanor and strange eyes were quite eye-catching.
But for Duanmu Huai, Mary's arrival was an added joke.
That's language.
As we all know, the Japanese speak mute English, which foreigners cannot understand at all. Mary graduated from the Royal College of Masters, specializing in ancient writing and languages. With a pure London accent, one is elegant, noble and full of aura. So much so that in English classes, teachers basically don’t dare to call her Mary. When someone’s pronunciation is better than mine, does that mean the teacher still needs to lose face?
And Mary herself also suffered a great cultural shock. After all, Japanese people read English RL without distinguishing the accents. For example, they pronounce SORRY as "sao Li" and STORY as "dead reason", so when Mary was in English class, she listened to them read I once doubted my life, and even came to Duanmuhuai to ask if there was a difference in pronunciation of the languages due to the different worlds... Duanmuhuai almost laughed to death.
Not only that, Mary's arrival also saved Duanmu Huai's ears. The people in the wind band club were really bad. Although there was progress day by day, the progress was still too small and they lacked a stable backbone. Generally speaking, the person who leads the club should be the most stable one. However, in Duanmu Huai's opinion, Ogasawara Haruka, the president of the Wind Band Club, is simply a rabbit. She is more timid than anyone else, which makes people speechless.
So after asking Taki and learning that the wind band also had violin playing, Duanmu Huai decisively pulled Mary over.
Although he doesn't understand music, he has at least heard Mary's performance, which sounds pretty good. Moreover, Mary is used to being with Duanmu Huai and is not afraid of him, so she will not tremble in front of him like other students...
Facts have proved that Duanmuhuai’s choice was correct.
Mary's joining seemed to give the wind club a stabilizing influence. According to Taki, the violin does not rely on air like other woodwind instruments, so as long as the player's level is high enough, he can lead the whole team to improve together. Before, they had only one double bass player, and the arrival of Mary, the violinist, finally made up for the wind club's most fatal shortcoming.
Of course, Duanmu Huai didn't understand what Taki said. He only knew that after Mary joined, this group of people finally got out of tune... and his suffering was finally over.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai silently gave himself a thumbs up.
Sure enough, the first choice to summon Mary was the right choice.
For Duanmu Huai, this is just a normal operation of the Tribunal, but for others... it is not like this.
"Well, not bad, very good."
Looking at the church in front of him, Duanmuhuai nodded with satisfaction. Sure enough, the magic servants are still very efficient. They worked around the clock for a Gothic cathedral without eating or drinking, so it took them less than a week to complete it, including the decoration inside.
And there’s no salary required.
What a great experience.
"Is this the church of the Inquisition?"
Compared to Duanmu Huai and Mary who were calm, the others were shocked when they entered the gate. The tall and glorious dome, the statues of Space Marines erected around it, and the ubiquitous skull and double-headed eagle symbols - just stepping into this church gives people a soul-filling shock.
By the way, this is not an illusion.
The reason why Duanmu Huai built the church of the Tribunal was not just to show off. The church is the divine domain of the God of Destruction, not to mention that there is a hammer mark of the God of Destruction made by Duanmu Huai himself on this church. In fact, at this moment, with this church as the center, the power of the God of Destruction has completely spread and enveloped the entire city.
Although humans will not have any special feelings, other races, such as angels, fallen angels or demons, if they dare to step into this city like before, then they will feel the endless pressure and fear from the God of Destruction. If they don’t leave... then don’t blame Duanmu Huai for being rude.
You see, it’s like the sign clearly says "Military important area, no trespassing", and you still insist on going in, then if you are caught and shot, isn’t it your own fault?
"But why do I look like the base camp of the villains in the cartoons..."
Staring at the skull symbol on the gate in front of her, Naruse Mio couldn't help but complain. Although she had been educated by Duanmu Huai and knew the rules and circumstances of the Tribunal, seeing such a big skull carved on the gate in such a grand manner still gave her a chilling feeling.
"What villain? We are obviously an organization that protects humans."
"Then what are those?"
Rias was also speechless, and stretched out her hand to point to the sky. There, servo skulls with candles on their heads were flying around.
"If I'm not wrong, those are real human skulls."
"What's the problem? They are the most loyal servants of the Tribunal."
"………………I still feel like the Demon King's Castle no matter how I look at it..."
"No, the Demon King's castle is not like this."
As the Demon King's sister, Rias decisively rejected Naruse Mio's sigh. It's not like she hasn't been to the Demon King's Castle. Although it's the Demon King's castle, it's still very normal most of the time except for being a little luxurious.
Unlike here, the whole atmosphere seems to be full of unspoken deterrence. There are more than ten meters high knight statues on both sides of the wall, wearing terrifying armor and wearing helmets that look like demons. The wall is full of skull patterns, and there are skulls flying in the air with their spines swinging... This is the Demon King's castle, right?
At this moment, one of the servo skulls flew down, staring at everyone, and then a red light was emitted from its right mechanical eye, scanning everyone, and then calmly turned around and flew away.
"……………………"
This is the Demon King's castle, right?
Although everyone didn't say it, they all thought so in their hearts.
If you have the ability, let the angel come and see, it would be strange if they don't think you are a demon at the first time!
This is even more demonic than the demon!
"Mr. Duanmu, what do you want the servo skull for?"
Mary looked at Duanmu Huai speechlessly and asked. Others didn't know what the servo skull was for, but how could Mary not know? Facing Mary's question, Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.
"Oh, I installed some macro cannons here, which require some automatic operation, right?"
"………………Didn't you say you didn't even bring money?"
"Yes, but how could I forget the macro cannons? What if I want to use it to bomb something? Look, just like now."
Duanmu Huai didn't think there was any problem. It didn't matter whether you brought money or not. After all, the currency in each world was different, so it was useless to bring it. But the macro cannon was different. As long as you took out the macro cannon and pointed it at the black muzzle, Duanmu Huai thought that most people would be wise to take out the money.
So it's more useful to bring something that can make money than money, isn't it?
"………………………………"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Mary sighed helplessly, then she raised her head and looked at the center of the church. Unlike most churches, there was a huge bell hanging in the sky above the center of this church...
More importantly, Mary remembered that she seemed to have seen this thing somewhere.
"Mr. Duanmu, this can't be that..."
"Well, it's what you think."
Duanmu Huai blinked at Mary, who sighed again and was completely speechless.
"Next time, I hope you remember to bring some daily necessities."
"I will remember, although I don't usually use it."
After all, Duanmu Huai has a wizard's mansion, which is enough to solve the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation, so he almost doesn't consider bringing money. But now it seems that putting some valuable things in the inventory at any time can indeed be a precaution. For example, in a world like this, it's really troublesome if you don't make more money.
Well, do you want to summon Lumiel? I remember that she is very good at hacking into the network. It would be nice to let Lumiel hack into the FBI and get some money to spend.
As for why the FBI?
The reason is very simple. Duanmu Huai remembers that the opening of the movies he watched before all had the words "FBI WARNING", which means that the FBI must have made a lot of money.
I spent a lot of money on buying those movies, and it's time to recoup the cost.
