Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1464



Only Noblemtl

Episode 1464. Is there a reason for collecting corpses?

The next day.

In the afternoon, show promoter Allen Boucher called Tracy Gold aside.

“Did you call?”

“Tracy, how many years have we been performing together? Ten years, maybe?”

“About eleven years? Why?”

Tracy looked at Allen, wondering if the thief was going to bite his own foot.

“I thought you were a pro who risked your life to Bardos. That’s why I brought you here with your broken neck. But that wasn’t the case. You’re not a pro.”

“That’s right, I’m a pro. It’s also true that I’ve staked my life on Bardos.”

“No. I should have noticed when your voice changed from drinking and smoking. You are not a professional. That is why you must have poured shit into the show. Do you know how much I paid the nobles to make that show happen? Ha! The Victorian courtiers who ruined it because of you alone are worth a hundred gold pieces.”

“What, what did I do?”

“What did you do? I met with Count Griff this morning. He told me what you did to Mr. Harvey. Why did you do it? Why did you incite Mr. Harvey to provoke Count Lagoa?”

“That, that is… … .”

Tracy’s face turned white.

She didn’t know that Harvey would tell her everything.

‘I thought I would carry it alone out of the pride of a knight… … .’

The vague illusions I had about the article were shattered.

“No. It must have been for some trivial reason. Since we have old ties, I will not seek compensation. Even if I did, I would not be able to give it to you. I do not want to see your face again, so leave. There will be no stage for you in Hirhera. I do not, but Count Griff will not allow it.”

“Leave? Where do you want me to go in the dark of the night? And what about the demons? There are demons in Hirhera too… … If I leave Hirhera, I will die in less than a day.”

“If you follow the supply unit, your safety will be guaranteed.”

“Are you telling me to follow the soldiers alone? What if I get raped?”

“You’re mistaken… … I’m not your protector, I’m the one who was harmed because of you. Do you really think I care if you get raped or sell your body?”

“What? Sell your body to Vardos? You’re a hypocrite!”

“When did I ask you to sell your body? I don’t care about your business. If you understand, then just get out.”

Tracy glared at Allen’s stern attitude for a while before storming out.

As Tracy left, Allen let out a long sigh.

Even if she somehow leaves Hirhera, it is questionable whether she will be safe.

Because the nobles’ desire for revenge is tenacious and dark.

Elio set out again to find the Demon Lord.

Elio, who flew up using Tornuvis (the art of fortune telling), advanced forward using the faint constellations as reference.

It’s called a reference, but it’s actually just a guess.

If you knew how to use the constellations properly in the first place, you wouldn’t have lost your way.

Yet, whenever he felt lost, he looked up at the constellations – as if the answer lay there.

It was the same even now, when the needle pointing to time had already made more than one full rotation.

“Tch! You’re saying that you can’t tell even if you look at it.”

Elio, who was clicking his tongue as if he was disappointed, suddenly changed direction.

Since going ‘according to my feelings’ always takes me farther away from my destination, I chose a direction that ‘seemed like it wasn’t the right direction.

It was a reversal of thinking that only someone with the teleportation technique called Nine Dragons’ Transformation could do.

Elio stubbornly flew through the darkness, saying, “This is not it.”

But what is this!

Just when I was hesitating whether to turn back, I saw a light on the ground.

As I went down, a city as huge as Kodiak came into view.

It was likely that the Demon Lord had a surname.

“This is it!”

Elio shouted without realizing it and sent the clouds down.

After a while, a mass of white clouds gently descended on the front yard of the huge castle.

Elio, who landed on the ground, looked around with a curious face.

The Black Castle felt similar to Moloch’s Castle in Kodiak.

“It seems to be the Demon Lord’s castle… … .”

As I was wandering around the garden, demons came crashing down from the sky like lightning.

“Who are you!”

“Are you human? Or a demon?”

Elio looked up at the demons and spoke calmly.

“I am the lord of Mokubas. I stopped by on my way. Where is this place?”

For a moment, the demons shut their mouths as if they had made a promise.

The monarch of Mokubas has been famous among the demons for five years.

The Buraqui tribe appeared like a comet, killed Moloch, and became the monarch of Mokubas.

Although the Demon Lords were belligerent, most Demon Lords were reluctant to meet him.

To that extent, the monarch of Mokubas was a unique being among monarchs.

The leader of the demon tribe stepped forward and spoke.

“This is the region of Gronemia, and this castle is the dark castle of Lord Murmor.”

“I wish to meet the Lord Murmor, so guide me.”

“Your Majesty is resting now… … Yes, I will guide you.”

The demon leader, Turak, turned and walked into the castle.

It was time for the Murmor Lord to rest, but he did not say no because he was an opponent.

The Demon Lords were all eccentric, so trying to offend them only harmed oneself.

After a while, Turak guided the Lord of Mokubas to the central hall of the castle and explained the situation to the surprised butler.

The butler hurriedly ran inside when he heard that the Lord of Mokubas had come to visit.

Elio sat leisurely on his chair and looked around every corner of the central hall.

Just by looking at the interior decoration, it seemed obvious what a strange monarch Murmor was.

On all four walls were stuffed corpses of demons, and among them were corpses that appeared to be Buraqui.

When I saw stuffed animals of other tribes, I thought it was like that, but when I saw the stuffed animals of the Buraqui tribe, I felt inwardly uncomfortable.

It seems that he felt sympathy for the Buraqui tribe, who consider themselves to be of the same race.

As Elio couldn’t take his eyes off the stuffed Buraqui, a bull-headed giant entered the central hall with heavy footsteps.

But Elio didn’t even bother to look at it.

That’s how much I wanted to express the discomfort I was feeling right now.

Eventually, the bull-headed giant, Murmor, was the first to offer greetings.

“Welcome. I am Murmor, lord of Gronemia.”

Only then did Elio turn around.

A giant with a bull’s head was smiling awkwardly.

“This is Prince Elio Lagoa.”

Elio, who was upset after seeing the stuffed Buraqui tribe member, suddenly spoke up.

Murmor flinched, but didn’t point out why he was speaking informally.

The Demon Race basically has to be strong to be respected.

As the monarch of Mokubas, he had to endure it because he had become the monarch by killing Balam.

“What brings you here at this late hour… … .”

“I don’t check the time, so how can I know if I’m late or not?”

“Haha, that’s right. It’s even more so now that day and night have disappeared.”

Murmor went out in a completely humble manner.

He was weaker than his predecessor, Balaam, so he could not be stubborn toward the being who killed Balaam.

“I came because I had a question. I also have a favor to ask.”

“Please tell me. Everything in Gronemia is yours, my lord.”

“Do you communicate with other Demon Lords?”

“Sometimes, high-ranking officials contact me when they need something.”

“Good. Then I would like you to contact the Demon Lords in this area on my behalf.”

“Is that what you said you wanted to ask me?”

“Why? Is there a problem?”

“No. That’s not a request, it’s something you can just say… …I asked.”

“Contrary to his looks, he’s actually a very friendly guy.”

Elio looked up at Murmor with crooked eyes.

Murmor didn’t dare to look him in the eye and looked down.

“I would like to call all the lords of Tameion, but that would be difficult. I would like to call all the lords of the regions bordering the human lands. How many days will it take for everyone to come?”

“If that’s the case, two weeks should be enough.”

“You said this was Gronemia?”

“yes.”

“Was the previous monarch Balaam?”

“you’re right.”

“Were you there five years ago when the Demon Lords invaded the human lands?”

“No. At that time, I was guarding the Dark Castle.”

“But you still know what happened back then, right?”

“yes.”

Elio nodded and spoke in a calm tone.

“There is a corridor leading to the ice wall with holes in it in Tameion. If you pass through that corridor, you will reach the land of humans called Hirhera. Do you know where it is?”

“This is the Canibora Corridor.”

At that moment, Elio frowned without realizing it.

Kanibora means ‘predation’ in the language of the Demon Tribe.

It was a name that clearly revealed the thoughts of the Demon Tribe, who consider humans as prey.

“I will erect a boundary stone dividing the lands of the demons and the humans at the border of the Kanibora Corridor and the lands of the humans. Inform the nearby lords to attend the unveiling ceremony in two weeks.”

“What is the border guard?”

“This is a stone monument inscribed with the words, ‘From here on out, this is human land, so do not trespass.’”

“ah…….”

“If the Demons invade human lands, this is a sign of my oath that I will wash their territory with blood.”

“… … .”

Murmur was so shocked by the words that he couldn’t say anything.

As expected from a being that had defeated several Demon Lords, its scale was extraordinary.

Elio, who had finished his business, suddenly asked before leaving.

“What are those corpses hanging on the wall?”

“That’s it… … They are the demons who opposed my ascending to the throne. They are displayed to commemorate our victory in battle.”

“I thought you knew I was a Buraqui and hung up a Buraqui corpse.”

“Absolutely not.”

“That’s how I feel. That’s why I’ve been in a bad mood since earlier.”

“We will separate the Buraqui tribe.”

“Is there a reason you collect corpses?”

“That’s because I can summon the spirits of the dead through corpses. In order to summon their spirits and mock them, I need a corpse… … .”

“It’s a lot different from how it looks.”

Elio looked at Murmor with new eyes.

It’s surprising that someone with such kind eyes like a cow could do such a bizarre thing.

As Elio was walking through the central hall, he suddenly asked Murmor.

“You mean the technique of summoning that spirit? Can I learn it too?”

“Of course.”

Murmor approached the Lord of Mokubas and whispered to him, fearing that someone might hear.

Elio, who had been listening to the method silently, stared at Murmor and said.

“If you forget the favor I asked you today, I will turn you into a stuffed animal like my fellow countrymen. If you don’t want to see me when you’re dead, you know what to do, right?”

“Yes! I will definitely do so.”

Murmor answered loudly, forgetting even the dignity of a monarch.

Only then did Elio leave the Dark Castle with a satisfied face.

When I first arrived at the front yard, I looked at my pocket watch and saw that it was 3 o’clock.

However, I wasn’t sure whether it was dawn or afternoon.

“You’ll know when you go.”

Elio, who had been muttering, leaped into the air.

It is the unfolding of the Nine Dragons.

Elio’s new form, which had been changing direction here and there in the darkness, disappeared in an instant.

***

Herhera Garrison.

A magical field appeared in the air as if by teleportation, and soon a man appeared.

Elio uses the Nine Dragons Sword in Black Castle.

Elio, who returned to the Hirhera Garrison, checked the lights first.

It must have been 3 a.m. because the streetlights were off.

This is because street lights are turned off at dawn when people are sleeping.

“Tch! It doesn’t fit perfectly.”

Maybe it was because of the dark ether, but it was slightly misaligned from the place I thought it was.

Even now, I am reminded of the Western Army Command barracks, but when I actually came here, I saw that it was on the outskirts of Herghera city.

But since it was something he had experienced in the Abyss, Elio didn’t think too deeply about it.

As I was walking towards the Western Army Command, I heard a woman’s scream from somewhere.

“Please save me! Evil!”

As soon as he heard the sound, Elio’s new form disappeared as if it was turned off.

But he couldn’t find the girl right away.

The darkness mixed with the dark ether obstructed Elio’s vision.

The woman fell silent after her final scream.
