Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1212



Only Noblemtl

Episode 1212. A warlock is controlling my mouth!

Andrea Jeter: ‘This is a joke, right? When asked, ‘Is that so?’, Transportation Manager Leon Toros turned his head to Elio and his group.

“Are you kidding me? “What is this story again?”

Before the misunderstanding deepened, Fabian told me what happened while waiting for the repairs.

“… … I apologized right then and there, saying it was a joke. There’s no way someone would kidnap someone as a joke, right? Mr. Jeter, I am sorry about what happened to your wife and daughter, but kidnapping is not a joke.”

Still, Andrea Jeter couldn’t shake off her doubts about Elio and his group.

They say it’s a joke, but it’s suspicious because his wife and daughter disappeared right after that.

The same was true for Leon Toros, the transportation manager.

‘An armed person threatened a stranger and apologized, saying it was a joke?’

When you think about it with common sense, it was an action that made no sense.

Just then, the guards who had been searching the village returned.

“doesn’t exist.”

“They searched all the stores, restaurants, and inns, but they said they didn’t see anyone.”

“I’m sure it’s not in town.”

Duvalier glanced at Elio and his group and asked cautiously.

“Passengers in other carriages are asking when we will leave. What should I say?”

“A repaired carriage has just joined us, so tell them to wait an hour until they finish eating.”

“All right.”

Duvalier walked towards the dining room where the passengers of the other carriage were staying.

Soon, Leon Toros spoke to Elio and the others.

“It may be inconvenient for you three, but I need you to go to the police station with me.”

The Stagecoach Transportation Association does not ask for customer information when selling carriage tickets.

Nevertheless, by agreements reached between the Stagecoach Transport Association and each principality, carriages were excluded from inspection.

Of course there are exceptions.

For example, when passing through a conflict zone, even the Stagecoach Transportation Association was subject to surprise inspections.

But after the empire became stable, such things rarely happened.

Thanks to low fares and the benefit of passing inspection, the Stagecoach Transportation Association made rapid progress.

It was not a loss for the imperial court as the Stagecoach Transportation Association carried people and logistics to every corner of the continent on its own – without having to ask them to do so.

Thanks to this, the Stagecoach Transportation Association established itself as an organization second only to the Mercenary Guild.

However, when working with people, incidents and accidents always occur.

Accidents that happen to carriage passengers are initially resolved by the guards, but if that does not work, they are supposed to report it to the local police force.

However, since taking passengers to the police station is an ‘act of breaking the passenger’s trust in the transport association’, they did not go that far.

But now something embarrassing has happened to Elio and his group.

Fabian said with a puzzled expression.

“Do you think we are in league with the kidnappers?”

“Excuse me, what is your name?”

“This is Fabian.”

“Fabian, as you can see, we currently have no clues related to this disappearance. This is a situation where if there is even the slightest suspicion, you have to shake it off. There should be no exceptions to that. “Isn’t that right?”

“Doubt? “It was a joke.”

“Whether it was a prank or not will be revealed when the security forces investigate. Wouldn’t it be nice if Fabian could also take this opportunity to be cleared of the charges? “Has he done anything that he shouldn’t have done in the police force?”

“It can’t be. “I even apologized and said it was a joke, but I did it because I was embarrassed to go to the police station.”

“Come on, we don’t have time. We must hurry to find Mr. Jeter and his daughter within the hour. As the Director of Transportation, I respectfully request this. “Everyone, please accompany us to the police station.”

As soon as Leon Toros finished speaking, four guards surrounded Elio and his group.

Fabian was shocked, but did not protest any further.

If you argue or fight here, you will end up looking like a weirdo.

When Fabian hesitated, Elio came forward.

“Let’s quickly go to the security forces or whatever. “Someone is missing and we need to find them.”

Then Fabian spoke with a downcast face.

“sorry. It’s because of me… … .”

“are you okay. Apologizing once is enough. “Things just happened to go wrong and ended up like this.”

Elio strode in front of the transportation manager.

“Please guide me.”

Leon Toros and the guards took Elio and his group to the security guard.

However, Andrea Jeter, whose body was hot, ran down the street looking for his wife and daughter.

***

3 p.m.

Algorium Security Forces.

Leon Toros, Guard, and Elio were taken to the police chief’s office without any additional procedures.

That was how powerful the Stagecoach Transportation Association was.

Baron Clayton Uber, the commander of the security forces who was reading the document, raised his face and asked.

“What’s going on?”

Leon Toros took a step forward.

“Baron Uber, it is an honor to meet you. “My name is Leon Toros of the Stagecoach Transportation Association.”

He explained what had happened so far in as neutral a position as possible.

If Fabian had nothing to do with the hijacker, it would have been a huge disservice to the passengers.

As soon as Leon Thoros finished speaking, Baron Clayton Uber closed his papers and stood up.

The Coral Company was a famous company in the Duchy of Lorraine.

If the Coral Company’s family had gone missing from the Algorium, it should have been dealt with as a priority.

Without thinking for long, he walked towards Elio and his group.

“Do you have anything to prove your identity? “If there is, please shake off even a single particle of dust and show it to me.”

Elio then submitted an adventurer’s certificate, and Count Larva Omar and Fabian submitted travel certificates guaranteed by Duke Beracht Wulfs, the Duke of Lorraine.

The travel document was given as a bonus when Elio received the title of count.

Baron Clayton Uber’s hand holding the document trembled like a person suffering from epilepsy.

This is because the name written on the adventurer’s certificate is Count Elio Lagoa, who recently shook the Duchy of Lorraine.

Larva Omar, whose identity was vouched for by Duke Beracht Wulfs, was a northern count, and even a young man who looked like a child was a baron.

“Go, Your Excellency.”

“Until there.”

Elio, who hated being bothered, interrupted Baron Clayton Uber.

Clayton Uber, who was nervous, straightened his posture like he did during the ceremony.

“Chief of Security, you know we’re not the ones to do that, right? Should I shake it off more?”

“no! “You are enough.”

“Then go out now and catch the criminal. “We must capture it even if it means turning the entire village upside down.”

“All right!”

Clayton Uber handed the documents to Fabian and ran outside.

Elio looked back at Leon Toros.

“Mr. Toros.”

“yes?”

“Let’s go to the general store where Mr. Jeter’s wife and daughter went. “The disappearance had to do with the last person seen.”

This was the case without exception in Green Forest.

The thief who was with him killed the other person and buried or abandoned him somewhere.

At some point, Elio thought that this world was no different from the underworld.

So, I planned to meet the owner of the general store first.

“That general store is the Coral Company. Is there really a connection?”

Leon Thoros looked at the young adventurer with puzzled eyes.

Why would the General Store of Coral Store do something like that to the family of a co-worker?

“It might have more to do with the Coral Company. “Let’s go.”

“Yes, yes.”

Leon Toros couldn’t believe it, but he couldn’t go against the wishes of a young adventurer who was clearly a great nobleman.

***

Leon Toros, the guards, and Elio, who left the security force, entered the general store.

A man in his early fifties standing behind the counter gave Leon Toros a knowing look.

“Toros, you are back. “Is there any news from them yet?”

“doesn’t exist. Oh, and these people are part of the group riding the same carriage. We arrived in town a little while ago because the carriage broke down and was being repaired. I brought Mr. Merer with me because I wanted to ask him something. Fraudster, Mr. Merer here is the owner of this general store.”

After finishing speaking, Leon Toros took a step back.

Elio, who had been observing closely from behind, stepped in front of the general store owner.

“Did you kidnap Mr. Jeter’s wife and daughter?”

Then Merer jumped up.

“no! Who on earth said that! Why would I kidnap them!”

“Of course, it’s to threaten Mr. Jeter, the mana stone appraiser.”

“I am just the owner of a general store. Why am I threatening Mr. Jeter?”

“Or that you have a crush on Mr. Jeter’s wife.”

“Hey! What kind of person are you, why are you talking so carelessly from earlier! You may be ignoring me because I’m the owner of a general store, but I’m from Coral Store! “What about you?”

“me? adventurer. I command in the name of the Son of the Empty Field (Gongyaja) and the disciple of the ageless Purum (Cheongbulno), and the Southern Sky Pond (Yeonnamcheon). Merer! “Tell me what you did to Mr. Jeter’s wife and daughter!”

Merer, who had been blinking in bewilderment at the unexpected maneuver, opened his mouth.

“I locked him in a dry well. no? What am I talking about? no. That’s nonsense. This is not me. you! Are you a warlock? Toros! This guy is a warlock! “He must be a warlock!”

Merer, who revealed his true feelings, went on a rampage.

Leon Thoros looked back and forth between the adventurer and Merer, unable to do anything.

Anyway, Elio’s questions continued.

“Where is the dry well?”

“In the backyard of the general store, I covered the warehouse with dismantled planks just in case. What, what is it? Toros! A warlock is controlling my mouth! Hurry up and catch it! “You have to catch it!”

Elio, who had been listening silently, turned his gaze to Leon Toros.

“What are you doing? Is this your first time seeing magic? You said they covered the backyard of the general store with boards? “Send the guards to save them.”

“yes? yes!”

At the command of Leon Toros, the guards went deep into the general store.

After a while, ‘I found it!’ A shout was heard.

Elio, who was quietly staring at Merer, said.

“Hey, we belong to the same company, why did you do that?”

Merer, who was shaking as if the speech had ended, suddenly cursed.

“You fucking bastard! You think I’m going to say that! Even you, a warlock, will not be safe! I saw you burn to death with my own eyes… … .”

“I’m sorry, but it’s not black magic. “I am a magic swordsman guaranteed by the empire.”

“Well, that can’t be true. “There is such magic?”

“I use it because I have it. Mr. Toros, please hand this person over to the security forces. “I don’t like trouble, so just say Mr. Toros and his guards got it.”

When the great noble adventurer tried to pass the ball, Leon Toros shook his head violently.

“Oh, no! How dare I… … . “That cannot be done.”

“Do by that way. Why would I take a carriage? “It’s because I want to be quiet and go as if nothing is happening.”

Only then did Leon Thoros bend down as if his forehead was touching the ground.

“All right. thank you.”

“And what happened here and in the police force is our secret. Make sure the guards control their presence. “Okay?”

“yes! “I will take responsibility and keep my mouth shut.”

Leon Toros’ eyes were full of adoration and respect as he straightened up again.

‘They say there are great nobles who hide their identities and live as adventurers!’

He thought that the young adventurer was one of those people.

The old man and young man accompanying him were most likely the knights accompanying him.

This is how the disappearance case in Algorium ended.

Leon Toros and Elio and his group brushed off Andrea Jeter’s family, believing that the matter had been resolved well.
