Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1248
Only Noblemtl
1248 times. You can’t divide the world into only black and white.
The Shastra Parakti priests took their positions between the mercenaries and Elio’s group.
They took off the hats they had been wearing while ordering from the clerk.
There are two women and three middle-aged men who appear to be in their twenties and thirties, respectively.
The women were beautiful, but like priests, they had an atmosphere that was difficult to approach, and the middle-aged men all had angular faces and expressions.
The mercenaries kept glancing at the beautiful priestesses, but they did not say anything obscene.
Elio, seeing the silent mercenaries, spoke to Fabian.
“The mercenaries are quiet even after seeing the beautiful priests? If you harass priests, will you get arrested?”
Fabian shrugged his shoulders as if he didn’t know.
This was because there was no temple of Shastra Parakti in the north, so the reason for this was unknown.
Then Baron Howard Solon intervened again.
“I am looking at the feelings of the paladins who accompanied me.”
“Paladin?”
“All the priests of Shastra Parakti are women. A man wearing a priest’s uniform can be considered a paladin.”
“So those three are paladins?”
“you’re right.”
“The mercenaries who are part of the Gacha squad are watching the Holy Knights? “Is the Paladin that strong?”
“The paladins of Manaptras, Shastra Parakti, and Justia are strong. “I heard that you are a sword expert or higher.”
“Are you saying they are sword masters?”
“That’s not it. Paladins’ mana is superior in quantity and quality to that of other mana users. So, even with the same sword expert, a paladin is much stronger.”
“aha.”
Elio immediately knew what that meant.
It would be as if his spiritual energy was so superior that it could not be compared to that of the wildlings.
“I know that the priests of Mana Prass received the blessings of mana more strongly, but it is unexpected that the priests of Shastra Parakti and Eustaa are also the same.”
Then Fabian quietly intervened.
“Aren’t Shastra Parakti and Justia the daughters of Manaptras? “That’s why I do it.”
“what? Shastra Parakti and Justia are the daughters of Manapthras?”
“yes.”
“Then, does Mana Prass have a husband?”
“There is no such thing.”
“How can I have a daughter if I don’t have a husband?”
“Because he is the creator god.”
Elio looked at Fabian with puzzled eyes for a moment, then nodded.
If the God of this place is so, then so be it.
It is foolish to judge the gods of this world based on your own common sense.
“So the mercenaries are also afraid of the paladins of Shastra Parakti?”
“If you are photographed in the temple of Shastra Parakti, you can be considered dead. “The paladins of Shastra Parakti will pursue him until he dies.”
“The mercenaries deserve to be shut up.”
Elio looked at the priests of Shastra Parakti with new eyes.
When the priestesses first took off their hats, they were worried about the mercenaries’ dirty talk.
But when I heard it, it was quite the opposite.
In fact, the mercenaries were watching the Shastra Parakti priests.
Of course, the slying with dark eyes was still there.
When Elio made eye contact with the young priestess, he inadvertently bowed.
He expressed his friendliness because he was also related to Shastra Parakti.
The priestess, Sisht, smiled and nodded.
Hamish, who happened to see the scene, asked.
“Do you know someone?”
“no.”
“Then why did you pretend to know?”
“That person greeted me first and I accepted it.”
At those words, Hamish turned his head towards the man.
An innocent-looking young man in his twenties was sipping alcohol with his companions.
Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like he was flirting.
“As you may know, ‘those who have been entrusted’ are not supposed to get involved in worldly affairs.”
“Yes, I was just saying hello.”
“You shouldn’t talk to strangers.”
“yes yes. i know.”
When it seemed like Hamish would continue talking, Sisht quickly filled the empty glass with water and handed it to him.
Hamish raised the glass of water to his mouth with a nonchalant expression.
Not only was I thirsty, but it seemed like Sishit didn’t want to be nagged.
She trusted Shishit and decided not to discuss it further.
But things did not go as Hamish hoped.
The young man who said hello to Sisht was trotting towards their seats.
For a moment, Hamish’s eyes cooled down.
Greetings from a distance are acceptable, but anything more than that is flirting.
Holy Knight Almet Harev, known as the ‘Sword of Immortality’, stood up and blocked the young man’s path.
Almet Harev said in an indifferent tone.
“Do not sin. “It is a grave offense to approach a priest performing an oracle.”
“Ah, since I met with the priests of Shastra Parakti, I have something to ask you.”
Before Almet Harev could say anything, Baron Howard Solon quickly approached and gently grabbed Count Elio Lagoa’s arm.
“Adventurer, you must not talk to the ‘trustee.’ Paladin, our adventurer was in the dark about the situation at the temple. Please understand.”
Baron Howard Solon bowed to the paladin on behalf of Count Elio Lagoa.
Almet Harev gestured at Baron Howard Solon as if to take him away.
“Adventurer, please return to your seat. “Priests practicing oracles do not communicate with outsiders.”
“I’m not an outsider?”
“It is the same even if you, adventurer, are a follower of Shastra Parakti.”
“Who is Shinto?”
“yes? Then what is it? Have you by any chance been ordained a priest of the Shastra Parakti temple?”
“me? “I am an apostle of Shastra Parakti.”
At that moment, even the two Holy Knights who were sitting jumped up from their seats.
A total of three Holy Knights stared at Elio with eyes that looked like they were going to eat him.
Unlike other temples, one thing that the Shastra Parakti temple did not have was an apostle.
The priestly office is appointed by a priest, but the apostolic office must be appointed directly from God.
So, calling someone an apostle was an insult to Shastra Parakti.
Almet Harev, the senior of the Holy Knights, spoke in a voice full of anger.
“There are no apostles in the temple of Shastra Parakti. How dare you call yourself an apostle in front of ‘oracled priests’! That is the capital crime 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 about that?”
At the young man’s suggestion, Almet Harev unconsciously turned to the priests.
If it wasn’t crazy, it meant there was something really there, but as a paladin, it was difficult to judge.
Suddenly, Sisht and Hamish exchanged glances and stood up.
For a moment, Almet Harev was startled.
This is because those two priests are ‘trustees’ and have not had any contact with outsiders until now.
When the priests showed their intention to step forward, the paladins immediately changed their attitude.
The three paladins quickly escaped out of the tavern with the priests.
Baron Howard Solon, who was standing blankly, asked Count Elio Lagoa.
“Adventurer, are you really an apostle of Shastra Parakti?”
“I don’t know that.”
“But you just said you were an apostle, right?”
“They say you don’t talk to outsiders. That’s why it’s called an apostle. “I think it will be enough to be an apostle.”
“Well, this may be presumptuous, but I think you’ve made a big mistake. An apostle is a representative of God and is a special priest appointed directly by God. If you impersonate a priest, you will be subject to extermination by Shastra Parakti, Manaptras, and the Temple of Justia. No matter how good an adventurer you are, you cannot win against the continent’s paladins.”
“Who said this was an impersonation?”
“You just said you didn’t know, right? “You’re saying I’m just lying around because I don’t talk to outsiders?”
“Why are you leaving out that afterword? “I said it would be at least an apostle.”
“I’ll say it again, an apostle is a very special priest who is appointed only by oracle. You can’t possibly not know that. I was appointed directly by God, and they said, ‘I think I can become an apostle.’ “If it is an apostle, it is an apostle. If not, it is not.”
“hey. You can’t divide the world into only black and white. Do you know how many things are ambiguous? “It even goes from black to white, and sometimes from white to black.”
“I know what you mean, but the appointment of an apostle is clearly ‘yes’ and ‘no.’”
“okay? We’ll see. Who is right? I’ll bet you ten gold that I’ll come back laughing with the priests. That’s not it. How much are you willing to bet that he fights in a big fight and comes back alone?”
“The current situation should not be taken lightly. It depends on whether you become an enemy of the continent’s three great temple paladins or not. “If you become an enemy, the rest of your life will be tiring.”
“So how much are you willing to bet?”
Baron Howard Solon said in frustration at Count Elio Lagoa’s repeated nonsense.
“One hundred gold.”
“Are you sure you bet 100 gold? Fabian, did you hear that too?”
Then Fabian nodded vigorously.
“yes! Baron Solon said he would bet 100 gold. But I also bet… … .”
“no. To steal someone’s spine.”
“Oh, yes.”
Fabian obediently retreated.
I know that Count Elio Lagoa has a special relationship with Shastra Parakti, but I do not know whether he is an apostle or not, so I am not stubborn.
“Then I’ll see you later.”
With those words, Elio trotted out.
Fabian said to Baron Howard Solon, who was standing with a bewildered look on his face.
“He’s someone who only knows how to walk straight.”
“I’m really curious. Is there a possibility that you, adventurer, are an apostle?”
“I’m curious too.”
Fabian shook his head.
I think I know more about Count Elio Lagoa than anyone else, but I don’t know.
As it is in the hot and humid southern region, Rachel has many naturally created forests and lakes.
The priests and paladins of Shastra Parakti entered a place where people could not see.
Almet Harev, who was waiting for the young man who claimed to be an apostle, asked Father Hamish.
“Is it possible that he is an apostle?”
“I don’t know yet.”
“… … .”
For a moment, Almet Harev looked young.
The fact that we don’t know yet means that the apostle’s claim may not be nonsense.
At that time, a young man appeared with a relaxed expression, as if he were taking a walk.
Almet Harev and the two Holy Knights once again blocked his path.
“I am Almet Harev, a paladin of the Temple of Shastra Parkti, known as the ‘Sword of Immortality.’ On my left is Paladin Tamenuk, and on my right is Shem. “What is your name as you call yourself an apostle of Shastra Parakti?”
“This is Count Elio Lagoa.”
Almet Harev, surprised by the unexpected name, asked back as if to confirm.
“No way, you are the lord of Latinus, Duchy of Lorraine and the Northern Slash Land… … Are you Count Elio Lagoa?”
“you’re right.”
“Is there anything that can prove your identity, Count?”
Elio took out the ‘Token of Invincibility’ that he received from Count Cardinal Paganus and handed it to Almet Harev.
“It’s the ‘Token of Invincibility’ given to you by Count Paganus. Can you recognize it?”
Almet Harev examined the ‘Sign of Invincibility’ and returned it to Count Elio Lagoa with both hands.
“Every time I look into it. The Token of Invincibility is an item made from Arternum. “It is an honor to meet you.”
After identity verification was completed, Hamish and Sisht, who had been watching from behind, stepped forward.
“I am Hamish, the fifth person in the temple to receive the oracle of Shastra Parakti.”
“This is Sisht, the sixth person to receive the oracle.”
As the priests rushed in, Elio smiled awkwardly and said,
“Ahaha. “I think you said that priests performing oracles do not communicate with outsiders.”
