Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1253



Only Noblemtl

1253 times. Where is the sinner?

Transport manager Ryne Hyde has a surname like a nobleman, but is actually a commoner.

Such a person is called Ramus.

The world’s evaluation of Ramus is generally twofold.

The first is ‘working hard to bring back the movies of the past’, and the second is ‘obeying the law’.

As long as the standards for performance are ‘merit’ and ‘law compliance’, the evaluation of Ramus will not change in the future.

As a result, there was no one better suited as a middle manager than Ramus.

This is because he is diligent in everything he does and even obeys the law.

The Ramus were so cooperative with the security forces that they even actively helped them.

Transport manager Ryne Hyde was one of those people.

He was planning to report what happened last night to the Krully security force.

That’s why I came to meet the priests of Manaptras before I even had breakfast.

To an adventurer named Lagoa, ‘Can I tell you what I know?’ I asked, but in fact, I plan to tell everything to the security forces even if the other person objects.

So the current question was just giving him a chance to escape.

But Lagoa seemed to have no intention of doing so.

“Please. “Then we will leave only after the police investigation is over?”

The person who was taken aback by his somewhat leisurely question was Rhein Hyde.

He hesitated at Lagoa’s attitude, which was different from his expectations, but then calmly answered.

“If you don’t know who the suspect is, no one will say anything even if you leave immediately after reporting, but in this case, the security forces will come to meet you, adventurer.”

“Then report it and come. “I will be waiting here for the security forces.”

“Are you sure you don’t mind? The mercenaries have done something that deserves hanging, but they may be able to impose personal sanctions on you, the adventurer. “Regardless of the policy of accepting imperial adventurers, the perception of imperial adventurers is not good.”

The royal family welcomed imperial adventurers, but the citizens mobilized for war despised the empire.

The security forces, which are closer to the citizens than the royal family, turn a blind eye to the illegal activities of imperial adventurers?

That was something that could not have happened in Rheinhyde’s common sense.

“it’s okay. I take care of my own problems. Mr. Hyde just mind the business of the stagecoach.”

“Yes, I understand. “Then, I will go to the security forces to report the disappearance of the mercenaries.”

Ryne Hyde bowed silently to Lagoa and left the tavern.

This is because in order to move a stagecoach, you must first report it to the police.

***

Shade Kingdom.

Krully Police Force.

Ryne Hyde reported the events of last night in a low tone, as if he were a criminal.

“… … “Currently, all mercenaries are missing, and the kidnapped adventurers have returned to the tavern.”

Miriam Sein, a security inspector, stopped recording and raised her head.

“So, last night, nine mercenaries turned into robbers and kidnapped a woman and two men. Another adventurer among the passengers rescued the woman and received treatment at the temple, and the two men returned on their own feet? that’s right?”

“yes.”

“What is the name of the adventurer who saved the woman?”

“you’re right. “All passengers are currently waiting for departure at the tavern.”

“Is Lagoa still at the tavern?”

“yes. “I said I would do it if an investigation was needed.”

“Where are the mercenaries who turned into robbers now? “You said you escaped from Cruli?”

“that is… … .”

Rhein Hyde trailed off.

It wasn’t easy to say because, depending on the outcome, he might have been the one reporting the brave passenger.

“I know, but you can’t hide anything. Mr. Hyde could also be at a disadvantage.”

Hearing the word disadvantage, Reinhyde quickly opened his mouth.

“I heard he was dead in an abandoned house on the outskirts of the city. “I don’t know if it’s true because I haven’t checked.”

“Are the people who killed the mercenaries the men who were kidnapped? Or are you the one who saved the woman?”

“It is certain that they are not the men who were kidnapped. “We could not confirm whether it was Mr. Lagoa.”

Ryne Hyde diverted his words as best he could.

But Miriam Sein, a police inspector, was a quick-witted person.

“I guess Lagoa killed the mercenaries in the process of rescuing the woman. Do you think the woman was seriously injured? “Seeing as they took him to the temple and not to the healer.”

“I heard at the temple that he was stabbed in the neck. “If he had been a little late, he would have been dead.”

The corners of Miriam Sein’s mouth rose slightly.

This is because Reinhyde told them who the culprit who killed the mercenaries was.

She closed the papers and stood up.

“Please go back and wait. Not a single passenger is allowed to leave the tavern. “After investigating the scene of the incident, security forces will visit the tavern.”

“May I know when the security forces are coming to the tavern?”

That was the most important thing to Rhein Hyde, who was in charge of running the stagecoach.

“We have to find an abandoned house, so it won’t be possible anytime soon. “I’ll be there in an hour at the earliest, or before lunch at the latest.”

“Yes, I understand so.”

Ryne Hyde got up, bowed his head to the investigator, and then turned around.

Miriam Sein said to him who was just about to start walking.

“It would be best not to think of helping an adventurer just because he or she is from the Empire. “If only you were willing to drive the stagecoach all the way to the Adriatic kingdom.”

“What do you mean?”

“I am telling you to hold Lagoa tightly to the tavern. If he runs away, by any chance, I will send your stagecoach back to its starting point.”

“That won’t happen. Mr. Lagoa voluntarily agreed to undergo an investigation by the security forces.”

“I can’t say anything to reassure you. Be sure to protect him for your own sake. “If you need support, let me know now.”

Reinhyde was heartbroken as the investigator treated the adventurer like a criminal.

I knew this would happen, but when it happened, I felt ashamed.

“Mr. Lagoa is not the type of person to do that. When the investigator sees him too, he sees how wrong it is… … .”

“I take that to mean that your guards are sufficient. “Please stop and go back.”

Ryne Hyde left the interrogation room with his shoulders slumped.

***

Around noon.

Heavily armed Krully security forces came to the tavern.

However, the expressions and eyes of the security guards were unusual.

A security force of about 30 people surrounded the tavern without water.

Soon after, the police captain and inspector opened the tavern door and went inside.

At that moment, Rein Hyde, who was in the restaurant on the first floor, recognized the investigator and stood up.

“Investigator?”

Miriam Sein said with a cold face.

“Mr. Hyde, where is Lagoa?”

“I am staying in the accommodation on this floor. “It’s lunch time, so I’ll be down soon.”

Then the police chief signaled out the window.

Ten security guards quickly came inside and blocked the front and back doors.

Inspector Miriam Sein introduced the constable to Ryne Hyde, who stood with a surprised look on his face.

“This is Baron Fred Bettle, chief constable of Krully. “Baron, this is the stagecoach transporter.”

Line Hyde, who had been rolling his eyes, bent his back as if it were going to break and bowed.

“This is Rhein Heidl, director of transportation.”

“It’s Baron Weaver. “When was the last time you saw a sinner?”

“Are you talking about mercenaries?”

“I’m asking about Lagoa.”

“He saved adventurers from robbers… … . Why do you call me a sinner?”

“Nine corpses were found in an abandoned house. Eight of them had their limbs cut off, and one had a hole in the abdomen. The Empire may view such a thing as self-defense, but it is not the Kingdom of Shade. “Where is the sinner?”

“omg! Mr. Lagoa is in the accommodation on this floor. “The guards and I have been guarding the first floor since morning until now, but no one has come down.”

Reinhyde, who only thought that Lagoa had saved Crea, was unable to come to his senses.

“Go up with the guards and see if they are still there. If there is, bring it down.”

Reinhyde hesitated at the command of the police captain.

I was astounded that they would use guards to arrest a dangerous person like Lagoa.

However, I did not know what disadvantages I would face if I refused the security captain’s orders.

While he was confused by the unfair instructions, three men came down the stairs.

Elio and his group came down to have a meal.

Line Hyde’s face turned bright red as he looked towards the stairs.

“Chief of Security, the man in the lead over there is an adventurer named Lagoa that you were looking for.”

After finishing speaking, he quickly retreated before the security chief pulled in the guards.

Elio’s eyes, which were looking for an empty seat, turned to two unfamiliar men and women.

“Which of the two is the police chief?”

Inspector Miriam Sein stopped short of shouting at the convict’s profanity.

I heard he was a young adventurer, but the heavy look in his eyes made it seem like he shouldn’t be messed with.

“The person next to me is Baron Fred Bettle, Chief of Police at Crully. My name is Miriam Sein and I am an investigator. Are you an adventurer named Lagoa?”

For a moment, she put aside the ‘charge of murdering nine adventurers’.

This is because now it is more important to know exactly the other person’s identity.

Instead of answering, Elio leisurely walked to the window seat and sat down.

When the head of the constable, Baron Fred Bettle,’s eyebrows twitched, Fabian stepped forward.

“Since you are curious about who Lord Lagoa is, let me introduce you. The guardian of the scutum (ice wall) that protects the continent! The rightful ruler of Latinus, Duchy of Lorraine and the Northern Slashlands! A great grand master who stands shoulder to shoulder with the legitimate son of the sword, Archduke Kaiser Knauf! This is Count Elio Lagoa! The person opposite Count Lagoa is Count Larva Omar, the swordmaster known as the ‘Tiger of the Kingdom of Baylem’, and I am Baron Fabian Cloud, the ‘Knight of the Rift’.”

Eventually, Fabian handed his title certificate to Baron Fred Bettle.

There is also a travel certificate vouched for by Duke Beracht Wulfs, the Duke of Lorraine, but since the Empire and the Southern Kingdom are at war, it has been replaced with a title certificate from the Northern Kingdom.

The Southern Kingdom and the Northern Kingdom have a long-standing alliance.

Even so, there was no one in the Southern Kingdom who did not know the name of Count Elio Lagoa.

A hero of the Northern Kingdom who defeated the demon lords on the ice wall of Hirhera and defeated the sword masters of the empire.

Although he was recently tricked by the Emperor and received the title of Imperial Count, Count Elio Lagoa was the pride of the knights of the Northern and Southern Kingdoms.

Baron Fred Bettle politely returned the certificate of title to Baron Fabian Cloud.

And then he bowed towards Count Elio Lagoa.

“It is an honor for me and my family to meet the great hero of the North. Thanks to your Excellency’s destruction of the bandits, the citizens of Krully are now safer. “On behalf of the citizens of Krully, I would like to thank you for your hard work.”

Elio responded with a puzzled look on his face.

“What glory? If you came here because you had some business to run, please tell me. “Don’t say anything else later.”

“doesn’t exist. However, if I had to say it, there have been many cases of mercenaries turning into robbers recently. Of course, it may not cause the slightest harm to Your Excellency, but it poses a great threat to other adventurers and citizens, so I earnestly ask you to punish it and not ignore it because it is a bother.”

Miriam Sein glanced at the police chief who was talking crazy.

The chief of security, who is supposed to catch private sanctions, actually asks for it?

At this level, it was more than just turning a blind eye and wagging its tail.
