Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 1465

Episode 1465. How can good and evil exist together?

Elio was able to find the woman five minutes after hearing the scream.

It is an ambiguous time neither too early nor too late.

But unfortunately the woman was no longer of this world.

He appeared to be in his early twenties at most.

Although it was torn here and there the woman’s clothes were relatively clean.

She was likely a settler rather than a wanderer.

Elio tried to find his presence by radiating spiritual energy but he felt nothing.

“Huh.”

It appears that the woman screamed as she neared her death.

It was a pity for her but she couldn’t do anything for the woman who died in a tragic accident.

Just as Elio was about to turn around several young men burst in.

“Don’t move!”

“He is a murderer!”

The eyes of the young men surrounding Elio were menacing.

The young men did not attack the young man standing next to the corpse because he looked like a knight.

One of the young men shouted at the youngest.

“Donovan! Report it to the security forces! In the meantime we will catch the criminal!”

The young man named Donovan paused then turned and ran into the darkness.

Elio who was looking at the young people with a nervous expression said.

“hey. Don’t push yourself too hard when you don’t know anything. Because I too am the one who heard the woman’s screams and ran to her. But who are you? Who is it that is carrying a sword at this early morning?”

Mikel the young man who had told Donovan to report it looked at the article with suspicious eyes and opened his mouth.

“We are the vigilantes of Hirhera. I’m Mikel a vigilante leader. Who are you to say that? And what were you doing outside the city this early in the morning?”

To clear up the vigilante’s misunderstanding Elio revealed himself.

“I am Count Elio Lagoa Commander of the Western Army. If you want to know what I was doing… become an article. By the way why are vigilantes patrolling the outskirts of the city? “And at this early in the morning?”

Hirhera is a military city with excellent security.

However I could not understand why the vigilante patrolled to the outskirts of the city.

Mikel answered with a frozen face.

“That’s because people have been dying on the outskirts of the city for the past few days. Vigilantes are patrolling the outskirts of the city.”

“Continue?”

“Yes today is the third time.”

While Elio was talking to the vigilantes Donovan returned with the constabulary.

Fortunately Raoul the leader of the security force recognized Count Lagoa and bowed his head.

“omg! “His Excellency Count Lagoa.”

“Do you think you know me? Thank goodness. When I heard the woman screaming I came to find her dead. “Murders like this have been happening frequently lately?”

“That’s right. “This is the fourth person.”

“They say there are three vigilantes?”

“One more murdered body was found last night. “You probably didn’t know because it wasn’t known to the outside world yet.”

“Four people. Are all the victims women?”

“That’s not it. “The body found last night was a man.”

“You’re saying it doesn’t discriminate between men and women. “What was the weapon of crime?”

“Everyone was stabbed.”

Raoul’s gaze turned to the fallen woman.

The woman’s upper body was also stained with blood.

“Are there any clues to the culprit?”

“Not yet.”

Elio who silently nodded his head spoke to Raoul.

“I need to find out something so take a step back thirty steps with the others.”

“yes!”

Raoul left the security forces and vigilantes behind without asking why.

Because of the dark ether I took thirty steps back and could not see anything.

Mikel who was snooping around the dark front asked Raoul the leader of the security team.

“What are you trying to do?”

“Your Excellency Count Lagoa is a magic swordsman isn’t he? “I guess you’re trying to find out something with magic.”

“I guess we shouldn’t look at it?”

“If you’re curious just ask directly.”

“Aren’t you curious Captain?”

“I’m not interested. “I am satisfied that I have spoken with His Excellency Count Lagoa.”

“I guess… His Excellency Count Lagoa is not the culprit?”

“That’s crazy.”

“Couldn’t they have killed him to do something with the body?”

“Tsk tsk! If that were the case do you think we would still be alive today? “Don’t say anything just think.”

“ah.”

As Mikel shook his head Count Lagoa appeared through the darkness.

“You can take the body with you. “Where are the other bodies?”

Raoul hastily answered Count Lagoa’s question.

“The body from last night is still in the police warehouse. “All the other bodies were burned.”

“I need to at least see the body found last night. Guide me.”

“yes!”

Raoul ordered his men to collect the woman’s body and headed to the police station with Count Lagoa.

Elio examined the body found last night in the police warehouse.

I didn’t do it with the mindset of ‘I need to catch the culprit.’

Has she just done what she can?

As Elio left the police warehouse Raoul came rushing up to him.

“dismissal. “Have you found any clues about the culprit?”

“He is a man in his forties who has never met the victims. They said there was a knife mark on one of his cheeks. He would search around for the victim in vain. Instead find the man with the knife mark on his cheek and investigate.”

“omg! “Can you tell that just by looking at the corpse?”

Instead of answering Elio waved her hand and left the police station.

***

Elio who returned to the Western Army Headquarters was left speechless.

He told him to send word to the Lord of Gronemia so all he had to do was wait until the unveiling ceremony.

Has it been about three days?

When Elio was resting in the barracks after a day’s work Fabian suddenly came to visit.

“What’s going on?”

“Are you finished meeting the demon lord?”

“uh.”

“ah! So you were staying in the camp?”

“That’s right. “What are you going to do when it’s so dark?”

“Do you know that the atmosphere in Hirhera is a bit turbulent these days?”

“Because of the murder?”

“no. Does it only take a day or two for someone to die? Rather there is a lot of talk about the polar night.”

“What do you have to say?”

“It’s not just darkness it’s a harbinger of the apocalypse.”

“end?”

“Isn’t it normal darkness? The light extends less than ten meters. Not only knights but also wizards have never experienced darkness like this before. These days people are asking if this is extreme night.”

“If it’s not the polar night what is it?”

“Daylight may never come back.”

“hmm. “Maybe so.”

“omg! “Do you think the Count can do that too?”

“It’s clear that this is no ordinary polar night. “Even I can’t see far.”

“Yeah? Does the Count also have trouble seeing? I thought the Count would see through it as usual.”

“I’m also frustrated because I can’t see far. “It feels like there’s some kind of black fog.”

“You think so too Count. So it’s really not that serious? “I don’t know if the world will end like this.”

“It will not be destroyed.”

“why?”

“I don’t think this darkness will last forever. Because then even the creatures created by the evil god Shaitin will not be able to survive.”

“Do you think the darkness will one day go away?”

“of course. “If the world is filled with the ether of darkness won’t the darkness also disappear?”

“Like the atmosphere of the Abyss?”

“Yeah like Abyss.”

“If the world is filled with the dark ether… it will become a world of monsters right?”

“It’s going back to the original world.”

“People cannot live in a world where mana has disappeared. “I couldn’t believe it… but it really is the end.”

Fabian’s face was filled with despair.

But Elio’s expression was calm from beginning to end.

“Don’t be too disappointed Fabian. Still humans have magic engineering. “With a magic gun and Thanatos you can deal with most demons.”

“But aren’t knights and wizards over?”

“If Mana Prass dies then so be it. But since I’m alive it’s not completely over.”

“Are you saying that the world will become full of mana again?”

“As long as the evil god Shaitin is alive it will be difficult.”

“Then what is it? Neither this nor that. Are you really thinking of a world where dark ether and mana coexist?”

“uh.”

“yes? That’s impossible. Manapthras and the evil spirit Shaitin cannot coexist. How can good and evil exist together?”

“there is.”

“How?”

“There is no need to look far. Take a look at yourself. Are you a good person? “Are you an evil person?”

“Of course I am….”

Fabian trailed off.

Wouldn’t it be nice if it were someone else?

Because lying in front of Count Elio Lagoa did not work.

Fabian said after thinking for a while.

“It’s because I’m human. “Mana Prass and Shaitin are gods.”

“Do you think it would be any different if it were God? They are just beings that are superior to humans but if you look closely they are similar to humans. Even gods have joy anger sadness joy love hate and greed.”

“That’s true… but still how can Manatras…”

Fabian could not easily accept Count Lagoa’s radical ideas.

For him the evil spirit Shaitin is an enemy that must be destroyed.

“Okay let’s go out for dinner for the first time in a while. “Today I buy it.”

Elio got up from his seat and put on his coat.

***

After a while the two people left the barracks and entered Hirhera’s downtown area.

Elio who was walking along the streetlight suddenly spoke.

“Huh? “I think the dark ether has lightened a little.”

“Really?”

“When have you ever seen me lie? “During the day I could only see a single streetlight but now I can see beyond that.”

“I hope it’s real. “I’m sick of the dark.”

“me too. “I wish the polar night would disappear along with the dark ether.”

It’s not that you can’t see because it’s night but your eyes get tired quickly.

The two people who were talking stopped in front of Victoria.

Victoria’s snack was okay as a meal replacement for her but the two went too far.

The two stopped in front of the second largest bar after Victoria.

“Dolphin Pub? “Are you okay here?”

“it’s okay. This is a place I often visit with my unit commanders. “The atmosphere is nice but the prices for drinks and snacks are relatively cheap.”

“okay?”

When Elio showed interest Fabian took the lead.

As we entered Sarah the manager recognized Fabian and approached us with a bright smile.

Sarah guided Fabian and his group to an empty seat by the window.

Eventually when Fabian and her young knight sat down she covered her mouth and whispered.

“Baron Cloud did you hear the news?”

“What news?”

“This is Tracy Gold who was recently kicked out of Victoria.”

“Why is she that woman?”

“She died last night.”

“huh? asleep? “She said she met a demon beast?”

“They say she appears to have been murdered? These days there’s a murderer called the ‘Butcher’ who goes around killing people. They say they were beaten by that butcher. The polar night must end quickly. How could I live in fear? But no matter how dark it is day and night there are kingdom soldiers everywhere so is it murder? “Isn’t that bold?”

Elio who did not want to know anything about Tracy Gold hurriedly ordered her to drink and have snacks.

When Sara tried to say more after her spell was over Elio sent her after her.

Fabian who was waiting for her drink and snack said indifferently.

“She’s out of luck with that girl. She happened to meet a guy like a butcher… Huh! “If you look at something like that you won’t notice any difference between humans and monsters.”

“Do you know that now?”

“Oh but people are much better. “People like Butcher are not common are they?”

“Don’t bet.”

“No but Count. Isn’t that butcher really crazy? Doing something like that in a military town like Hirhera? Our knights must have looked so easy to do something like that here. “I want to catch someone and check their face.”

“After hearing this I feel bad too. Let’s catch that butcher.”

Her light flashed in Elio’s eyes.

How dare she slaughter in her own front yard?

She was determined to catch Hir Hera even if it meant robbing her.
