Rise of the Inquisition (Arc 4-6)

Chapter 127: Domain of the Inquisition

One Month after the events with the Icarus Cult, Paladin was sitting down in a dark wooden chair next to a dark wooden desk in front of him in the Office of the Lord Inquisitor. He was wearing his white suit jacket suit, with his white suit pants. The Office of the Lord Inquisitor had blue carpets, with solid white walls. Behind Paladin, were four windows with white framing. The windows were closed, however white shades were pushed to the side of the windows to allow yellow rays of sunlight to come into the room. In front of Paladin's desk, was a large dark wooden table that was positioned horizontally, with three large brown leather couches sitting on each end of the table, each of the couches three feet away from the table. There was nothing on top of the table, seemingly as if it was used only for beverages. In the far right corner of the room, was a white door that was completely shut. In the left corner of the room, was brown bookshelves filled with books that had various colored covers. Paladin sighed, as laying down front of him on top of his desk was papers upon papers of that came with owning two Domains, businesses, and everything else that the Inquisition was gifted. Paladin picked up the papers in mass, and he looked at the first paper. He started to read the piece of paper, skipping past the tiny details, until he started to see numbers. Paladin's eyes squinted when he saw the numbers on the paper, and when he clearly saw the numbers his hands started to shake.

"We're being charged Six hundred fucking coins from some Succubus club--" Paladin dropped all of the papers, and he slammed his right hand's palm against his face as he pushed back against the wooden desk. "Stop spending money on useless fucking shit Noxious!" As his hand covered his face, Odin then suddenly glowed into existence. Standing at the side of the brown wooden table, Odin was tapping the top of the table with his left hand's knuckles to get the attention of Paladin.

"Who is it?"

"Who else could it be?"

Paladin took his right hand off of his face, he quickly noticed that Odin was the one knocking on the table.

"Oh--Odin, it's you."

"It is indeed me Paladin, I bring with me some good news."

"What's the good news--"

"Come here and I'll show you."

As Paladin got out of his chair, Odin knocked his knuckles again on the brown wooden table and instantly a golden aurora appeared on the top of the table. As Paladin stood at the side of the table, he looked down at the golden aurora. What appeared was a map of the known world, showing every single continent, island, and country in existence. The map showed every single feature of the world, trees, mountains, cities, towns, and even abandoned structures. Paladin could see the Kingdom of Orion in the center of the map, the Kingdom of Orion being on a continent entirely to itself, outside of the Kingdom of the High Elves that had the top right of the continent to themselves. On the left, right, and bottom sides of the continent the ocean was surrounding, almost making the continent similar to how Australia is today. However, on the top of the continent was a desert landbridge that connected to a larger continent. The larger continent was seemingly a large thick ring, filled with deserts, green plains, and snow. The continent was so large, that the map couldn't fit it entirely. While the Kingdom of Orion was entirely filled with nothing but green, across the sea, on the right side of the Kingdom of Orion was a continent filled with ice and snow, a continent with the name the Kingdom of Frostaria hovering above. Each physical feature of the map had a glowing outline, a side effect of the map creation ability.

"What did you want to show me?" Paladin asked as he crossed his arms, he spoke as he was still looking down at the map.

The map then suddenly shifted south, as it moved south Paladin saw endless amounts of blue that represented the large and vast ocean. However, a sudden golden glowing star then appeared in the middle of the map that was now filled blue.
