Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 1466

1466 times. Why did the Count learn such strange skills?

Hirge is a special place for Elio.

Not only is it the place where I first set foot in another world but it is also the place where I was ordained a knight and even received a title.

It was no exaggeration to say that Hirhera was his second hometown.

Naturally I have a special affection for Hirhera.

Wasn’t the first nickname he got as ‘Guardian of Hirhera’?

As a guardian of Hirhera he decided to catch the ‘butcher’.

I have information about the butcher.

He is a man with a knife mark on one cheek.

Almost all of the Northern Kingdom’s army had gathered in Hirhera but there were probably not many people with knife wounds on their cheeks.

Fabian said putting down his half-empty beer glass.

“If he can hide his popularity in such a short period of time he must not be an ordinary person.”

“But he was caught because there was a decisive clue.”

“By the way Count how did you know there was a knife mark on his cheek?”

As the military operation ended prematurely Fabian used the title ‘Count’ instead of ‘Commander’.

“I asked dead people.”

“You’re telling all kinds of jokes that you’ve never told before?”

“It’s not a joke.”

“How do you talk to a dead person? “If I die that’s enough.”

“I know. I was also very curious about what would happen if I died in this world? But I’m not curious anymore.”

“What happens when you die?”

Elio responded to Fabian’s question.

“Before that what are they teaching here?”

“I teach you that you will return to Manaptras.”

“Yeah I’m not going back.”

“sure? What happens?”

“Did you ask a dead person? Do you know what I said?”

“What do you say?”

“They said they had no memory until I called them out. As if I had fallen asleep. “When I called him out he came to his senses as if he had just woken up.”

“omg!”

“Are you surprised?”

“That’s it. Even if what the dead man said is true wouldn’t it be possible that he has returned to Manapthras? “You said you don’t know anyway?”

“I don’t know anything else but I know that you are a positive person.”

“Are you kidding?”

“what?”

“I mean I talked to a dead person. Only high-ranking shamans can do that right? Besides even if you were a shaman it would be impossible to go into that much detail. If that were the case there wouldn’t be a murderer that couldn’t be caught. The head of security would also have been a shaman. “Isn’t that the reality?”

“I learned it from a demon lord a while ago.”

Elio told the story of Murmor the lord of Gronemia.

Fabian looked at Count Lagoa with bewildered eyes.

“If you have a corpse you can summon the spirit of the dead?”

“When I did what Murmor taught me a real spirit suddenly appeared?”

“You don’t know if it’s real or fake do you?”

“Well that’s not true. But when you see that the description of the murderer is similar… Is it really true?”

“That’s it again.”

Fabian readily admitted.

If it had been a lie their stories would have been different.

When you die you have no memory of the afterlife as if you were asleep.

It feels puzzling.

After filling their stomachs with snacks the two people quenched their thirst with beer and got up.

Fabian who was looking around lightly asked as he passed by.

“Where are you going now?”

“police.”

“Are you going to talk to a corpse again?”

“You might get more clues about the Butcher.”

“Can I come with you too?”

“That’s right.”

Elio answered indifferently and walked steadily towards Hirhera’s security guard.

After a while Fabian came out of the warehouse where the body was stored and let out a long sigh.

“ha! “This really doesn’t make sense.”

“Are you surprised?”

“It’s not just shocking it’s horrifying. When you die it’s like you’re asleep and you have no memory. But what is it that wakes up when the Count summons it? “Shouldn’t I just stay asleep?”

“I don’t know the principles either. I don’t really want to know. “I don’t need to know all the mysteries of the universe.”

“That’s it. “Can I learn too?”

“What are you going to learn? “The security forces will catch murderers?”

“no. “I was just wondering if it might be of help.”

“It’s better for you not to learn.”

“why? Is there anything wrong with learning it? “The Count is using it to catch butchers right?”

“Your poor karma cannot bear the consequences. “You will be overwhelmed by the weight of the souls you have summoned.”

“Are you saying there will be aftereffects?”

“uh. If you are weak your dreams will be disturbed but if you are strong several souls may reside in your body. “There may be souls who don’t want to go back to sleep.”

“Oh my! Just hearing those words gives me chills. I won’t learn. “Please pretend you didn’t hear it.”

“Good idea. When I become a lord I just think about ruling the territory well. “Leave it to the security forces to catch the criminal.”

“But why did you learn such a strange skill Count?”

“Just in case.”

“Is it possible?”

“uh.”

In fact Elio wonders ‘Can he summon Namgoong Yeon?’ It was something she wanted to learn.

Of course since Namgoongyeon did not die but went to the upper world the outcome cannot be guaranteed.

She has never called her for learning the spirit summoning technique.

Her curiosity could be answered by asking her Nine Heavenly Wise Woman but what was the point of calling her who had left her?

Fabian did not ask any further questions thinking that she had learned that Count Lagoa was visiting his deceased wife.

Just then her snow began to fall.

The two people who had been walking silently each lost in their thoughts became faster.

***

That night.

Fabian closed his eyes but he could not fall asleep easily.

After tossing and turning several times he suddenly raised his upper body.

“iced coffee! “I’m going crazy.”

He couldn’t sleep.

When I tried to fall asleep Tracy Gold’s translucent soul came to mind.

This was a shock to him who believed that when he died he would naturally return to Manaptras’ arms.

Of course people who have received the ‘Blessing of Mana’ believe in Mana Prasras even if they do not go to the Mana Prasas Temple.

But instead of being in the arms of Manapthras he’s just sleeping?

I can understand up to that point.

But what does it mean to wake it up and call it out?

Fabian who was scratching his head felt a chill and put a piece of firestone in his stove.

Still it was creepy.

Could this be the same aftereffects that Count Lagoa mentioned?

He climbed back into bed rubbing his increasingly sore shoulders with both hands.

‘If you go near me performing a spirit summoning spell you won’t be a person.’

He must have gone crazy for a moment because he asked me to teach him this scary thing.

***

The next day.

As the day dawned Elio went to the Northern Kingdom Allied Headquarters.

He taught the General Staff about the Butcher’s impression and instructed them to spread it to the units stationed in Hirhera.

This is something that the Grand Master and no one else is interested in.

In less than an hour the butcher’s appearance was known throughout Hirhera.

Elio thought that the identity of the butcher would be revealed in half a day.

But he didn’t report seeing the butcher until after lunchtime.

After finishing dinner Elio was curious about the results and visited the police station.

The police chief’s office.

Baron Dennis Hope the head of the security force continued his explanation with an innocent look on his face.

“…Three reports of suspects have been received so far. When I checked it wasn’t a knife wound it was just a simple scar. “There has not yet been a single report of someone with a knife wound on their face.”

“People’s faces are cleaner than I thought. “I thought there would be a lot more than that because there was a war with the demons.”

“Is there anyone who got hit in the face with a demon’s sword and survived? It probably arose from people fighting each other. But even that wasn’t there. “I don’t know who the culprit is but he seems to have hidden well.”

“It’s a lot of hard work. “If anyone has a knife mark on their face please contact me.”

Elio patted Chief Dennis on the shoulder and then turned around.

His expression as he left the police station was not good.

It seemed like he would catch it at any moment but it was surprising.

“her! Oh my! “There must be someone who has come and gone…”

Hirhera is a small city so it’s not like they didn’t report it because they didn’t know.

Elio trudged back to the Western Army garrison.

Day after day passed by as he made no progress toward Butcher’s apprehension.

Three days before the unveiling ceremony Elio sent a notice to the Northern Kingdoms Allied Forces.

A huge monument was also erected where the ice wall broke in the past.

No words have been engraved on the tombstone yet.

When the demon lords came they planned to engrave letters in the common language of the demons and the continent.

Whenever the Northern Kingdoms Allied Forces gathered they talked about the monument and the unveiling ceremony.

“Will the demon lords come? “I bet my left hand that you won’t come.”

“It’s also a problem to come. “What if the demon lords swoop in and destroy the Northern Kingdoms Allied Command?”

“I think Count Lagoa is too naive. You treat demons like human nobles. Even if several monarchs attend the promise will not be kept.”

“What about demons who don’t know letters? “They can climb over the monument at any time right?”

“It’s totally unreasonable.”

“I am against tombstones. What if you only trust the tombstone and the demons attack? First of all you have to get beaten up and go to war. “When our northern kingdom’s allied forces gather we must push in preemptively and suppress them.”

“Count Lagoa is excellent at military power but seems to be weak at strategy and tactics.”

“This is the limit of a commander from the wild. “Commanders should be appointed by intellect not by force.”

Elio often visited a restaurant outside the camp.

His face is little known compared to his continent-shaking fame.

For that reason he had to listen to harsh criticism from the public about the unveiling ceremony and the monument.

Elio didn’t think anything bad of them.

These were words he could only say because he did not know what a demon lord was and how ruthless he could be.

The day before the unveiling ceremony.

Elio headed to the front line of his camp to inspect the tombstone.

He crossed several defense lines and finally stood tall in front of the monument.

He felt a new emotion when he saw the tombstone the size of a house.

Tomorrow the North will regain stability.

Next I plan to go to the archipelago and meet the Apostle of Manaptras.

You can guess what the Apostle of Manaptras will say.

‘Would you like to tell me where the evil god Shaitin’s magic stone is?’

In all likelihood that will happen.

Manaptras did not tell us where the magic stone was in the monolith.

The reason he brought his apostle to the forefront was probably to regain his lost status.

It’s not something I don’t understand but I think it’s as political as it is human.

If you destroy the evil god Shaitin’s magic stone will the black sun disappear?

I think it would be nice if that were the case.

He did not want to be deeply involved in the war between Manapthras and the evil god Shaitin.

As he was looking at the tombstone he was reminded of the tombstone erected on the tomb of Namgung-yeon.

It was quite a long time ago that she became a hermit.

Perhaps she may have been decades or even hundreds of years removed from the immortal world.

Since she came to this world counting the time has become meaningless.

“It’s love… damn it.”

When she thought of love she started swearing.

Love is like a flash of light it lasts forever even if it only lasts a short life.

She’s a woman everywhere she goes even if she’s just herself.

Now that his relationship with Namgung-yeon has been cut off he can hug a woman just by extending her hand.

I may be able to tolerate it for a while because of my lingering feelings for Nangong Yeon but I cannot tolerate it for tens hundreds or thousands of years.

By that time his feelings for Namgung-yeon would have changed like dust.

“Before I leave here I have to catch that bastard that’s going to be slaughtered…”

Elio tried to shake off thoughts of her butcher by thinking of her butcher.
