Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 1020

Episode 1020. Hiding in the woods for three days?

The first person in Alpha Company to discover Elio and Fabian was Cale, a knight from the 1st Platoon.

When something stepped out of the crack, he hurriedly blew the whistle for a signal, and the whistle fell from his mouth.

“Fabian?”

What came out of the rift were Fabian and Elio, who had entered the rift three days ago.

“Sir Fabian! Sir Elio!”

Cale screamed like a madman and ran to the crack.

The soldiers of Alpha Company, who had been resting in the absence of the beast, gathered one by one at the entrance of the crack as if being led.

Soon, cheers erupted from the mouths of the soldiers and knights who saw Elio and Fabian alive and well.

When Viscount Oscar Avid and Baron Dennis Robin approached belatedly, the men of Alpha Company hurriedly returned to their positions.

Upon discovering Viscount Oscar Avid, Elio and Fabian bowed their heads.

“Chief.”

“Goodbye. Have you just returned from reconnaissance of Tameyon?”

Viscount Oscar Avid said ‘Tameion’ with force.

If he had been scouting elsewhere, he had given him a chance to correct himself.

“yes.”

“Both of you?”

Viscount Oscar Avid’s gaze turned to Fabian this time.

“That’s right.”

Fabian did not deny it either.

Alpha Company saw that he fell into the rift, so he couldn’t deny it.

“You’ve had a hard time. company commander.”

At the Viscount’s call, Baron Dennis Robin stepped forward.

“yes.”

“Immediately isolate these two separately. I will have the interrogator investigate the reconnaissance.”

His staff, Viscount Oscar Avid, was thinking of entrusting it to a professional interrogator given the seriousness of the matter.

For a moment, Fabian looked at Elio without realizing it.

However, Elio had an indifferent face as if it were someone else’s business.

Eventually, Elio and Fabian, who returned safely from Tamion, were moved to different locations by Baron Dennis Robin.

***

Baron Carl Dane, the interrogator of Marquis Bernardo’s family, was called the messenger of the estate twenty years ago.

A commoner (Ramus) of noble origin, he became a baron thanks to his merits at that time, and now works as an interrogator for the marquis.

Baron Carl Dane stared intently at Elio.

Baron Carl Dane, who had been reading the documents for about 15 minutes without saying anything, asked abruptly.

“From the ‘mountain tribe’?”

“yes.”

“How strange. Sir’s mastery of swordsmanship would have been famous among the savage tribes… No one knew Sir’s name. What do you think about this?”

“Is there any advantage to living if you call yourself a savage?”

“He is too. get to the point Did you go over to Tamion?”

“If beyond the rift is Tameion, then it is correct that it passed.”

“How was it there? Was it really a dark and desolate place like the rumors say?”

“I didn’t go deep into it, so I have nothing to say about that part. As for the area near the ice wall, it was similar to the Hirhera area.”

“At what point?”

“The topography and climate of the snowfields are similar. It seemed that the great snowfield had been completely blocked by an ice wall. They weren’t completely different from each other.”

“I will note that it is limited to the vicinity of the ice wall. And don’t make such remarks anywhere. If you don’t want to be accused of heresy and die.”

“Heretic?”

“If Tameion, the world of demons, is similar to our Rodina continent, do you think you would stay still in the temple? At that time, you will face the Heretic Inquisitor, not me.”

Still, Baron Carl Dane, who was from the same Marquis Bernardo family, gave advice instead of accusation.

“Ah yes. I will be careful.”

He accepted the words of Baron Carl Dane, whom he had a rivalry with.

This is because if you bite and stretch in the temple, only you will get tired.

“Now then, tell me what happened in the three days since you passed through the rift and entered Tamion.”

After organizing his thoughts for a while, Yeon Jeok-ha got lucky.

“So, as for how that happened…”

Baron Carl Dane wrote something nonstop, and when he didn’t understand, he threw a sharp question.

Whether it was listening to the circumstances or interrogation, the conversation lasted for 9 hours.

In the meantime, I had to repeat the story that happened in Tamion, my rival, more than five times.

At the end of the fifth story, Baron Carl Dane asked.

“Oh, by the way, what did you say the first witch you met after entering the rift was?”

“Ice ogre. You seem to be working hard, but why do you keep asking me the same thing?”

Then Baron Caldane smiled and said,

“There are three obscure points in your story. In fact, three out of three days is pretty good. Asking the same story over and over again is to confirm the reference point of ambiguity and clarity.”

“So the ambiguity is reduced?”

“at all. The history of you and Fabian is clear as if it were drawn in my eyes, but there are things I don’t understand.”

“What is it?”

“Tameion is not a land that is generous to humans. If so, why would the Creator divide this side and the other side with an ice wall? Your luck is too good. I have never met people as fortunate as you in my entire life.”

“I have nothing to say about that.”

“Anyway, I got it right. Your and Fabian’s eyewitness accounts will be of great help to the investigation of the Hirhera Rift.”

“But I also have a question. The stakes that the warlocks planted in the snowfield. What is that?”

“Well, to be honest, I don’t know. If you’re the court mage, Carlos, you might know about it. If the Marquis meets Marshal Escatos with this report, you will find out what the warlocks did.”

“Ah… I guess so.”

Yeonjeokha lowered his head.

If it was the court mage Kalos, he would be able to figure it out because he would have a different level of knowledge in black magic.

Baron Caldane rose from his seat.

“Good job. Let’s end your investigation with this. You can go home and rest.”

“Then are you going to see Sir Fabian now?”

Then Baron Caldane looked at Elio with strange eyes.

“why? Is there anything that bothers you? If so, tell me now. It’s troublesome to call you here again.”

“Ah Sir Fabian, I thought it would be tiring to talk about the same thing for a long time. Nothing bothers me.”

“If you are, then so be it. I see.”

Baron Carl Dane left without looking back.

After a while, Yeonjeokha also went outside to return to Alpha Company.

Looking up at the sky, it is a bright starry morning.

Called early in the evening and talking non-stop until now, I feel like my head is all dizzy.

After a while, he arrived at the Alpha Company area in front of the rift and asked the guards to find the knights’ barracks.

Cale couldn’t see if he was on duty, and Qunut and Ridley were asleep – so deep that no one would know who was carrying them.

He burrowed into the roughly empty cot and closed his eyes.

My body was tired, but I couldn’t sleep easily.

Suddenly, I felt pitiful.

It wasn’t like this even when I was carrying a dung bag in Kuju.

In Kangho and Guju, no matter what anyone said, they were the center of the world.

However, on the continent of Rodina, he couldn’t do that.

He was almost killed by a meteor shower and faced another crisis with the black magician’s magic.

Meteor shower, it is the ultimate magic. Even so, it is a matter of pride that I almost died from the 7th circle magic.

‘Is Mana that strong?’

Come to think of it, I think it was similar when I first went to Kuju.

Certainly, the aura was stronger than the internal strength.

To be honest, when I returned to the present world, I wondered if Namgung-yeon and Shimtong’s aura were sealed.

If Aiki and Mana are related like that, I think there will be no answer unless Mana is awakened.

‘Yes, let’s awaken the manna.’

It won’t be difficult to awaken mana like it was when you learned aura.

He slowly fell asleep while imagining that he was awakening his mana and surprising the people around him.

***

Next morning.

Baron Cal Dane found Fabian, who was sequestered in a makeshift barracks.

Baron Carl Dane’s eyes narrowed when he saw Fabian, who was sitting with a tense face unlike Elio, who was calm.

‘Maybe things will work out.’

Both were in their twenties, but compared to Helio, Fabian was like a child.

“Fabian Cloud. Although he is the eldest son of Baron Silas Cloud, he is unfortunately a commoner because he is a single winner. Am I right?”

“yes.”

“I have looked closely at your records. You awakened Mana at the age of 16 and earned the title of ‘Kluton’s Genius Knight’?”

“It is an undeserved title.”

“By the way, there is a record of him missing from his first duty station, Pontiac Company in the Montanosa Mountains. What happened?”

“I was chasing the mortally wounded Beast… and got lost.”

“Pontiac Company is a famous Ranger unit… are you saying it got lost?”

“Because it was my first assignment, the terrain was dark.”

“I heard that new recruits in the Ranger unit are supposed to go through basic training, but did you mean that?”

“…yes. I was so embarrassed…”

Fabian couldn’t even lift his face in shame when the baron revealed his dark history.

“Which is more dangerous, the Montanosa Mountains or the Tamion?”

“Of course it is Tamion.”

“Then you must have been more embarrassed in Tamion.”

“yes.”

“Then why did you set out to guide Sir Elio to Tameyon? Sir’s mission was to bring Sir Elio back to Alpha Company.”

“I was a little relieved that I didn’t see a demon beast around the ice wall. So, ‘Wouldn’t it be all right if I scouted that Tameion came in?’ I thought.”

“I heard that he was relieved to be with Sir Elio, is that correct?”

“There is no such thing.”

“A man who panicked and lost his way in the Montanosa Mountains was relieved in the more heinous Tamion? It’s fun.”

“…”

Fabian seemed to have made a mistake, but he was not confident enough to correct it, so he remained silent.

“I don’t deny it. I got it. Then tell Dennis Robin what happened after you volunteered to bring Sir Elio to the company commander.”

Baron Caldane skillfully led the conversation.

“What I saw right after entering Tamion was a fight between an Ice Ogre and Lord Elio, who fled after being mortally wounded by Alpha Company’s attack. I met Sir Elio shortly after he took the last breath of the half-dead Ice Ogre. Perhaps because of the Ice Ogre, I couldn’t see any other monsters near the ice wall. You pointed out my mission a little while ago, but since there was no danger, I decided to patrol the area with Sir Elio.”

Fabian, who spoke like an excuse, looked at Baron Chaldean’s complexion.

Baron Caldean didn’t react much, just wrote it down.

Relieved by that appearance, Fabian continued to speak more comfortably.

“It’s called patrol, but in reality, it was all about hiding in the frozen forest and looking over the snowfields. As you know, there’s nothing two knights can do in Tamion. Then I saw six warlocks standing in a circle around a stake and casting spells. As the warlocks sacrificed people, the stake melted away under the snowfield as if it had been dipped in water. And the six warlocks made a huge teleport formation and disappeared. After waiting for three days, the warlocks did not reappear. Sir Elio and I hid in the woods and returned right away.”

“You hid in the woods for three days?”

“yes.”

“In the vicinity of the spot where there are no Ice Ogres and six corpses killed by warlocks remain?”

“yes.”

“Did you know that monsters can smell blood from 10 kilometers away?”

“It was a bit far from the forest.”

“Humans smell better. Even the ice forest is a home for some demons. To think that he returned safely after spending three days in the Witchbeast’s nest. If Sir Elio was a sword master, wouldn’t he know? That’s impossible.”
