Episode 168 〈 Heresy Inquisitor 〉
The hem of a long red robe flutters.
Red Cross soldiers wearing bird-beak masks galloped on horseback.
“What is this all of a sudden…!”
“be careful!”
The people were startled and vacated the road.
In that split second, the Red Cross rolled its eyes.
People’s faces were quickly recognized and information was confirmed.
and.
‘-found!’
The Red Cross stopped, raising its halter.
The horse whined and raised his front paws.
“Huh!”
The person in front of the Red Cross was an ordinary merchant with a chubby build.
[Name: Lani
Na-:5-
Characteristics: — Greed — — Selfishness-.
+ Mr. Farmer, above you, Mr. Farmer, will have eternal life!
Information that is vaguely visible.
[Mind’s Eye] looked through the merchant’s information.
The merchant broke into a cold sweat.
When he realized the Red Cross was staring right at him, he knew something was wrong.
“What’s going on over there?”
The merchant stammered.
I asked, lowering my head to avoid offending my feelings as much as possible.
Okay.
There’s no way he knew he was a devil worshiper.
The opponent is just a priest.
There is no way he could do something to himself in the middle of the road without any evidence.
but.
“You are a heretic.”
The other party was confident.
The merchant stopped in surprise and quickly raised his head.
A member of the Red Cross raised a shovel and struck it
mercilessly toward the merchant.
The merchant fell to the ground.
The people screamed and even the soldiers who followed were shocked. They froze in surprise.
The Red Cross got off their horses.
“Aaaah!”
The merchant who was hit on the head by a flat shovel struggled in pain.
“Save me, the madman is running wild!”
“We have the eyes of the Son. Devil worshiper, stop trying to hide your corruption!”
“Oh no, really no! I am not a devil worshiper…!”
The Red Cross grabs the merchant’s arm:
“You can see through everything, but where do you tell lies?” “For your sake, Farmer’s greatness will give you eternal life. Wasn’t that what you wanted to live for?”
The merchant opened his mouth.
He shook his head left and right as if in denial.
The Red Cross narrowed their eyes at that sight.
“Let me get rid of that selfish desire.”
I broke my hand.
“Ugh!”
He pushes the merchant to the floor.
“I will see how far your faith lasts.”
I lifted my bent arm even further.
Screams rang out and the people shouted.
“What is that…?”
“Soldier, aren’t you going to stop that monster?”
The soldiers’ faces turned pale.
They had no power to stop the Red Cross.
The Red Cross is a unit directly under the Seonghwang family.
If you stop them, you will not be able to avoid heresy trials.
“Now tell me. “Who are you!”
The Red Cross is putting pressure on us.
The merchant’s eyes rolled over, but he did not faint.
“I asked who it was-!”
The merchant’s beliefs change.
-it hurts! I want to live! I want to live, damn it, I wasn’t serving Farmer!
“Ah, a devil, a devil worshiper. Yes, that’s right. Damn it, so please open your arms…!”
“What evidence do you have that you are a devil worshiper?”
“Ugh… there is a letter inside the leather that serves Farmer…”
The people’s eyes widened.
Even the private soldiers were surprised and put down their weapons as they were conflicted about whether to stop the Red Cross.
The Red Cross pinned the merchant to the ground.
He tears off his clothes with his hands, takes out a dagger and tears the skin on his back.
And the scars between the exposed muscles.
You can see characters that signify devil worship.
The soldiers froze with expressions of astonishment.
What kind of crazy person in the world would carve runes into their backs! That’s why it’s inevitable that no evidence will come out.
The Red Cross member who checked the evidence gently closed his eyes.
“Ah, Holy King!”
See, this is the greatness of the Son.
Omniscient and omnipotent, able to see through even the beliefs of others.
After all, He knows everything.
The Red Cross slowly opened its eyes.
The corner of his mouth curled up behind his mask.
“Son, I will trial you for heresy.”
The Red Cross grabbed him by the back of his neck.
Screams are heard all over the city.
Private soldiers aimed spears at a couple.
The private soldier forcibly separated the husband and wife.
The Red Cross member looked at his wife.
“I am not a devil worshiper! Really…”
“That’s right. Not my wife. “I’m feeling sad because my son went missing the day before…!”
My husband shouts.
The Red Cross raised its head and said:
“They say that devil worshipers even sell their children to vampires.”
“…!”
“Didn’t you use your son as a sacrifice?”
My wife’s face hardened.
The husband looked shocked and looked at his wife while speaking.
“That can’t be possible… Honey, if you say no, there will definitely be a misunderstanding. honey?”
“…”
My wife’s face turned blue and she trembled.
“Say something!”
The hoodlums in the alley grabbed their weapons.
These are extremely flimsy weapons such as daggers and farming tools.
“We have to resist.”
“What? What crazy talk are you talking about? The enemy is the Red Cross! One of the six major forces of the Holy Empire…” “
Or just be hunted? Among those captured by them, there is one who knows about us. There was this. If we become known through torture…”
Kwajik.
The sound of wooden boards breaking was heard.
The thugs were startled and turned around.
A figure resembling a reaper was seen between the alleys. A bird’s beak and
a red robe. The Heretic Inquisitor with the Reaper’s scythe on his shoulder.
The thugs swallowed their saliva.
“What is this Heretic Inquisitor…”
“It’s a heresy.”
The eyes of the Red Cross flashed in the darkness.
The thugs backed away in fear.
‘…I saw right through them.’
A member of the Red Cross pointed his sickle and asked,
“This is an interrogation for heresy. “I ask you.”
He raises his head and says.
“Where is Farmer?”
“…Kill!”
The thugs rushed in and the Red Cross grabbed their scythes and threw them back.
Use your waist.
He swung his scythe sharply.
There was a flash of light and the bullies’ legs were cut off.
“…uh?”
The body leans forward without even feeling the pain.
The eyes inside the Red Cross mask bend like a crescent moon and smile.
“Be put on trial, you devil worshipers.”
He lifts the scythe, cuts down their shoulders, and drags them alive.
“What’s going on?”
“Well, my neighbor Mr. Harmus was a devil worshiper!”
“What? Weren’t you sad because that family’s child went missing not long ago?”
People gathered in the square.
Devil worshipers were also arrested and gathered in one place.
There were about 30 people.
Among them, parchment devil statues with runes used in various devil worship and patterns engraved on the bodies of devil statues were seen.
Clear evidence . .
The job is handled quickly.
There is no mistake.
Saeran was so shocked that he covered his mouth, and the twin brothers were frozen and silent.
Among the devil worshipers, there were people they knew. They
patrolled and greeted the three people, and even gave them food as a bonus. The good people who divided are also involved.
“This is ridiculous. Are they really…?”
“The evidence has come out.”
Saeran turns his head.
Allen on horseback approaches her.
He looks down at the devil worshipers.
“It’s only a small part of it yet. We haven’t searched outside the city center.”
“…”
“The Red Cross is probably searching the outside villages by now. They will quickly find the remaining people.”
Allen smiled and looked at Saeran and said,
“What do you think? It may not be at the level of completely detecting it, but isn’t it a sure way to eradicate devil worshipers?”
“How on earth… can you really see something?”
“You can think of it as a novelty.”
Saeran looked at the devil worshipers and said,
“They are definitely the ones we couldn’t find. But it will make the people nervous.”
“Anxiety? Yes, you feel anxious. But even anxiety will be calmed by anger.”
Saeran was startled by Allen’s words and turned his head.
“These demons-!”
“Are you saying my fucking daughter was captured by those guys?”
“Dad, where is Dad? Where are you!”
The people are clamoring to attack the devil worshipers.
The private soldiers are barely able to block them with their shields.
The family is missing.
The devil worshipers have kidnapped them and sacrificed them to Palmer.
Allen looked at the devil worshipers.
Via [Mind’s Eye] I saw right through them.
– They weren’t serving Farmer.
– They wanted to live, so they wanted to live!
– Farmer, please save us. Punish those evildoers and give us eternal life!
They did not repent of their sins.
Their only obsession was that they wanted to live. It’s just that they are.
That’s all they can do.
“These people will be judged according to the laws of the Holy Emperor’s Kingdom. Since we caught them, there won’t be a problem, right?”
Saeran nodded at Allen’s words,
“…Okay.”
“Okay. Then.”
Allen got off the horse and
approached the devil worshipers.
Among them, the one with the most selfish characteristics and obsession with ‘wanting to live’ grabbed the man by the collar and
lifted him up.
“Do you want to live?”
“I want to buy it!”
“Then I ask you, Farmer, where is he?”
“That…”
“Do you want to die and become a dead person?”
Holy undead were summoned around Allen.
Looking at the skeleton soldiers, the man stammered.
“I don’t know!”
“…what?”
“If you don’t know, there’s no way you would know. All we did was kidnap him, hand him over, and create an alibi for him.”
“To whom did you hand it over?”
“The chief of Tinia Village has served Farmer for a long time. They might know!”
Allen looked at the Red Cross.
Some of the Red Cross bowed their heads and said,
“About five people have already headed there. “The subjugation would have been completed by now.”
“Right.”
Allen let go of the man:
“Transport.”
“All right.”
Red Cross drags away devil worshipers:
“What are you going to do?”
Saeran approached and asked, and Allen lightly cleared his throat and spoke.
“I’m going to Tinia village. Where are you?”
“It’s not that far. “It’s a 10-minute ride from here on horseback.”
“Then let’s go.”
Allen got on the horse and said,
“I’m going with you.”
Allen looked at Saeran,
“I want to see the vampire who was harassing the people.”
Saeran took a deep breath and said,
“A hint to prevent the apocalypse. “I want to know that.”
“…All right.”
Allen held out his hand to Saeran.
Saeran also took the hand and climbed onto the saddle.
**
Lawrence’s wife was trembling with anxiety holding the child.
Suddenly, people wearing red-robed bird-beak masks came to the village.
And screams. When they heard this, they forcibly dragged the village chief and some of the villagers and beat them up in the center of the village.
One of the Red Cross members turned his gaze to look at Lawrence’s wife.
He checked her information through his [mind’s eye].
[Name: Alina Age
: 4
Characteristics: Very understanding — — Motherly love
+ Lawrence Where are you? Please leave my baby alone. Please be safe.
The Red Cross is keeping an eye on you. I narrowed my eyes.
I looked at the baby I was holding.
It’s covered in cloth, so I can’t tell for sure.
It’s definitely the child born to a husband named Lawrence and that woman named Alina.
It’s clearly a victim of the Palmer incident.
‘Devil worshipers.’ no.’
That was when the Red Cross turned its
head back to the devil worshiper. A slight but divine energy was felt behind his back.
The moment the Red Cross was startled and looked back.
“We will serve Farmer until the end!”
The Red Cross looked at the village chief.
“You will have eternal life!”
They are all dying old men.
They probably served Farmer out of fear of dying at the end of their lives.
However, vampires are only using them and will not create creatures while inheriting some of their powers. Let
the Red Cross wave their hands . A colleague grabbed the village chief’s head and pressed it to the ground.
The Red Cross looked to the place where the energy was felt again.
Many people were watching with anxious expressions.
The Red Cross frowned at that sight.
They felt the energy just a moment ago. I didn’t lose.
The Red Cross looked at their colleagues.
They didn’t even notice.
In fact, it was such a small amount of energy.
Is it just a mistake?
No, it’s more accurate to check.
The Red Cross looked at the people one by one.
“Goddess Gaia, protect my child and Lawrence. Please give it to me.”
The Red Cross turned to look at Laurence’s wife, Alina, and the baby.
The Red Cross approached her,
looked straight into her face, and looked at the baby covered in cloth.
The village chief, whose head was crushed, cried out,
“Farmer, let us go.” Please help!”
The ground rumbled.
The Red Cross looked down at the ground in shock.
The ground cracked and an unknown energy stirred.
At that moment, something jumped out and pierced the Red Cross’s body.
It was the long leg of an insect.
The hard shell was sparsely saw-like. It was sticking out.
The Red Cross looked at the cracked ground, spitting
out blood. A monster with long, hard insect legs sprouting from its back.
Farmer was glaring at the Red Cross.
