Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 1248

Episode 1248. The world can’t be divided into black and white.

The Shastra Parakti priests took their place between the mercenary and Elio’s party.

As they ordered the clerk, they took off their hats.

Two women and three middle-aged men, each in their twenties and thirties.

The women were beautiful, but like a priest, the atmosphere was somewhat difficult to approach, and the middle-aged men were all expressionless with angular faces.

The mercenaries kept glancing at the beautiful priestesses, but they didn’t talk dirty.

Seeing the silent mercenaries, Elio said to Fabian.

“Are the mercenaries quiet even after seeing the beautiful priests? If you harass the priests, will you be arrested?”

Fabian shrugged as if he didn’t know.

It was because there was no temple of Shastra Parakti in the north, so I didn’t know why.

Then Baron Howard Solon intervened again.

“It’s about looking at the paladins who accompany you.”

“A paladin?”

“The priests of Shastra Parakti are all women. You can think of a man wearing priestly clothes as a paladin.”

“So those three are paladins?”

“you’re right.”

“Are the mercenaries who are half dog caring about the paladin? Are paladins that strong?”

“The Paladins of Mana Phthras Shastra Parakti Justia are strong. I heard that it is more than a sword expert.”

“Are they the sword masters?”

“It is not. Paladins’ mana is superior in quantity and quality to other mana users. So, even with the same sword expert, the paladin is much stronger.”

“aha.”

Elio immediately knew what that meant.

It would be as if his own spirituality was so outstanding that it could not be compared to that of the savages.

“I know that the priests of Mana Phthras received the Blessing of Mana more heavily, but it is unexpected that the priests of Shastra Parakti and Eustaa are also like that.”

Then Fabian sneaked in.

“Aren’t Shastra Parakti and Justia the daughters of Manapthras? So I will.”

“what? Shastra Parakti and Justia are the daughters of Manapthras?”

“yes.”

“So, does Mana Phthras have a husband?”

“There is none.”

“How can you have a daughter without a husband?”

“Because he is the creator.”

Elio looked at Fabian with bewildered eyes for a moment, then nodded.

If there is a god here, then that is it.

It is foolish to judge the god of another world with your own common sense.

“Is that why the mercenaries fear the Paladins of Shastra Parakti?”

“If you are stamped in the temple of Shastra Parakti, you can be considered dead. The paladins of Shastra Parakti pursue him until he dies.”

“It deserves the mercenaries to shut up.”

Elio looked at the priests of Shastra Parakti with new eyes.

At first, when the priestesses took off their hats, they were worried about the mercenaries’ dirty talk.

But from what I’ve heard, it’s the opposite.

In fact, the mercenaries were watching the Shastra Parakti priests.

Of course, it was still the same as glancing at her with shady eyes.

When the young priestess’s eyes met just in time, Elio inadvertently silently bowed.

Since he himself had a relationship with Shastra Parakti, he expressed his affinity.

Priestess Sishit smiled and nodded.

Hamish, who happened to see the scene, asked.

“Do you know someone?”

“no.”

“Then why did you hide your identity?”

“That person greeted me first and accepted it.”

At that, Hamish turned his head toward the man.

An innocent-looking young man in his twenties was sipping a drink with his party.

Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like he flirted.

“As you may know, ‘one who has received an oracle’ should not get involved in worldly affairs.”

“Yes, I was just accepting greetings.”

“You shouldn’t mix words with strangers.”

“yes yes. i know.”

When it seemed that Hamish’s words would continue, Sishit quickly filled an empty glass and handed it over.

Hamish brought the glass to his mouth with a displeased expression.

I was thirsty, but it seemed that Sisht didn’t want to hear nagging.

She believed in Sishit and decided not to mention it any further.

However, things did not go according to Hamish’s wishes.

The young man who said hello to Sishit walked towards their seat.

For a moment, Hamish’s eyes softened.

Greetings from a distance can be tolerated, but it is because more than that is cold.

Paladin Almet Hareb, who is called the ‘Sword of Immortality’, rose from his seat and stood in front of the young man.

Almet Hareb said in a nonchalant tone.

“Do not sin. It is a serious sin to approach a priest performing an oracle.”

“After meeting with the priests of A Shastra Parakti, I have a question for you.”

Before Almet Hareb could say anything, Baron Howard Solon hurried over and grabbed Count Elio Lagoa by the arm.

“Adventurer, you mustn’t talk to ‘the one who received the trust’. Holy Knight, our adventurer was dark about the temple situation. Please understand.”

Baron Howard Solon bowed to the Paladin on behalf of Count Elio Lagoa.

Almet Hareb gestured to Baron Howard Solon as if to take him with him.

“Please return to your seat, adventurer. Priests practicing oracles do not communicate with outsiders.”

“Am I not an outsider?”

“It is the same even if the adventurer is a follower of Shastra Parakti.”

“Who is Shinto?”

“yes? So what is it? Have you at least been ordained a priest of the Shastra Parakti Temple?”

“me? I am the disciple of Shastra Parakti.”

Even the two paladins who were sitting at the moment stood up from their seats.

A total of three paladins glared at Elio with eyes that seemed to be devouring them.

Unlike other temples, there was something that Shastra Parakti Temple did not have, and that was the apostle.

The priesthood is appointed by priests, but the apostleship must be appointed directly by God.

So, to call someone an apostle was an insult to Shastra Parakti.

Almet Hareb, the senior of the Paladins, spoke in a voice filled with anger.

“There are no apostles in the Shastra Parakti Temple. How dare you call yourself an apostle in front of the ‘priests who received the oracle’! That is the grave sin of blasphemy! Who the hell are you!”

“There are a lot of people watching here, so I’d like to go outside and have a chat. How is it?”

At the young man’s suggestion, Almet Hareb looked back at the priests involuntarily.

If it wasn’t crazy, it meant there was something real, but as a paladin, it was difficult to judge.

Sishit and Hamish, who suddenly exchanged glances, rose from their seats.

For a moment, Almet Hareb was startled.

It was because those two priests were ‘those who received an oracle’ and so far had no contact with outsiders.

When the priests showed their will to step out, the paladins immediately changed their attitude.

The three paladins quickly made their way out of the tavern with the priests.

Baron Howard Solon, who was standing there blankly, asked Count Elio Lagoa.

“Adventurer, are you really an apostle of Shastra Parakti?”

“I don’t know about that.”

“But didn’t you just say you were an apostle?”

“You say you don’t talk to outsiders. That’s why I called him an apostle. I think it would be something like an apostle.”

“I’m presumptuous, but I think you made a big mistake. An apostle is a special priesthood directly appointed by God as a representative of God. If you impersonate a priest, you will be killed by the Temple of Shastra Parakti Manaptras Justia. No matter how good an adventurer you are, you can’t win against the paladins of the continent.”

“Who is the impersonator?”

“Didn’t you just say you didn’t know? I heard that you’re just hanging around because you don’t talk to outsiders?”

“Why are you forgetting that back story? You said it would be like an apostle.”

“Again, an apostle is a very special priesthood appointed only by an oracle. You may not know that yourself. I was appointed directly by God, but ‘I think I’ll become an apostle’. If you buy, you buy, if not, you don’t.”

“hey. You can’t just divide the world into black and white. Do you know how many ambiguous things there are? Even black and white, and white and black.”

“I see what you mean, but the appointment of an apostle is clearly a ‘yes’ and a ‘no’.”

“okay? Let’s see. who is right I’ll bet ten gold on me coming back laughing with the priests. It’s not you, how much are you going to bet on fighting a big fight and coming back alone?”

“The current situation should not be taken lightly. It depends on whether or not you become an enemy of the Paladins of the Three Great Shrines of the Continent. Enemies make you tired for the rest of your life.”

“So how much are you going to bet?”

Baron Howard Solon said annoyed at Count Helio Lagoa’s repeated bullshit.

“One hundred gold.”

“You obviously bet 100 gold? Fabian, did you hear that too?”

Then, Fabian nodded vigorously.

“yes! Baron Solon said he would bet 100 gold. But I bet too…”

“No. To rip someone’s back.”

“Ah yes.”

Fabian meekly withdrew.

He knew that Count Elio Lagoa had a special relationship with Shastra Parakti, but he did not insist because he did not know whether he was an apostle or not.

“Then see you in a little while.”

After saying that, Elio walked outside.

Fabian said to Baron Howard Solon, who was standing with a bewildered face.

“Because he only knows how to go straight.”

“I’m really curious, but is there a possibility that you are an apostle?”

“I am also curious.”

Fabian shook his head excitedly.

I think I know Count Helio Lagoa better than anyone else, but I don’t know that.

There were many naturally formed forests and lakes in Rachel, befitting the hot and humid south.

The priests and paladins of Shastra Parakti went out of sight.

Almet Hareb, who was waiting for the young man who claimed to be an apostle, asked Priest Hamish.

“Is it possible that he is an apostle?”

“I don’t know yet.”

“….”

At that moment, Almet Hareb’s eyes grew different.

Because I don’t know yet means that the apostle’s claim may not be nonsense.

At that time, a young man appeared with a relaxed face as if he were taking a walk.

Almet Hareb and two paladins once again stood in his way.

“I am Almet Hareb, a paladin of the Shastra Parkti Temple, called the ‘Sword of Immortality’. The one on my left is Paladin Tamenuk and the one on my right. What is your name as you claim to be the disciple of Lord Shastra Parakti?”

“I am Count Helio Lagoa.”

Surprised by the unexpected name, Almet Hareb asked back as if to confirm.

“Could it be that you are Count Elio Lagoa, the lord of Latinus, Duchy of Lorraine, and Northern Slash Land?”

“you’re right.”

“Do you have anything that can prove your identity?”

Elio took out the ‘Mark of Invincibility’ he had received from Count Cardinal Paganus and handed it to Almet Hareb.

“It’s the ‘Mark of Invincibility’ you received from Count Paganus, can you recognize it?”

After examining the ‘Mark of Invincibility’, Almet Hareb returned it to Count Helio Lagoa with both hands.

“Everyone knows. The Mark of Invincibility is an item made of Arternum. It is an honor to meet you.”

After the identity verification, Hamish and Sishit, who had been watching from behind, stepped forward.

“I am the fifth Hamish in the temple who received the oracle of Shastra Parakti.”

“This is the sixth sishit I received from the oracle.”

As the priests rushed in, Elio smiled awkwardly and said,

“Ahaha. I think you said that the priests performing the oracle don’t talk to outsiders.”
