Chapter 131

Episode 131. News and processing

Truburn Islands treated as a periphery even on the continent.



It was a good place to hide from the eyes of the continent, where numerous islands were gathered together.

As much as that, all kinds of criminals gathered there.

Fuck!

“Get lost!”

“Kill it!”

A place where fistfights happen like everyday life on the street, and people around you watch without stopping.

It was the true face of the lawless Trouban Islands.

Today, as the peaceful time passes by, the leader of the Kinane Mercenary Corps, which occupies Veronica, the largest island in the Truburn Islands, is welcoming guests.

“You look really free. Seeing how you crawled all the way here.”

The leader, Muto Kinane, treated the opponent sitting across from him rudely.

Even so, the opponent was just listening in silence.

“You know, there’s nothing you want here. To be honest, I don’t even know what I want. Didn’t you already come and go a few years ago?”

The man on the other side had a huge rectangular wooden box beside him, and Muto said with a displeased look at the coffin-like object.

“Tell me something. Don’t set the mood for nothing.”

“Muto.”

The man’s voice was like a dry desert.

The man with a thick cloak wrapped around his shoulders called Muto’s name once and then closed his mouth again.

“I’m really going to turn around. If I’m going to keep setting the mood like that, I’ll just leave?”

Then someone knocked on the door.

Muto, who glared at the man for a moment as if he was fighting, shouted as if it was all right.

“what?”

“Commander, an urgent message has been delivered.”

“Urgent news? Should I hide it?”

“It is not.”

“Then come in and tell me.”

A mercenary opened the door and came in, but was startled and stopped when he saw the person sitting across from Muto.

Muto, who looked at him with a pathetic look, urged.

“What.”

“Ah that... ... .”

Muto’s expression distorted as the subordinate stuttered after recognizing the man’s true identity.

Then, the subordinate responded coldly.

“This is an urgent message from the Kingdom of Carcassion. It is said that Evan von Orleon has resigned, giving up all authority and position.”

“Is that crazy guy?”

When Muto asked back with a surprised expression, Subha nodded.

Evan von Orleon.

No, now the paladin, who had become a mere Evan man, was a person with ardent support and strong power even within the Holy Land.

“You mean you quit being the Heretic Questioner?”

“Not only did he quit being a Heretic Inquisitor, but he also came out of the Holy Land.”

“You came out? her!”

At the unbelievable news, Muto scratched his head for a moment before looking at the man sitting across from him.

He was still sitting there motionless.

“The reason is? There must be some reason Originally, he was a crazy person, but did he really lose his mind?”

“According to the Archbishop’s announcement, he resigned taking responsibility for failing his recent mission.”

“mission? responsibility? No, it’s funny that the Auror Master failed the mission, but you can only take responsibility with that? no i can’t But is it possible to say that he came out of the Holy Land?”

“That seems to be a lot of talk elsewhere. I can’t believe that he is a nobleman who is known for his faithfulness, and I wonder if he has other ulterior motives for such a sudden decision... ... .”

At that time, the quiet man added a word.

“Looks like you finally figured it out.”

“You notice?”

“All gods were already buried in ancient times. The things that are now called gods are all illusions. The Holy Kingdom of Kasion is only fulfilling their own desires in the name of a god that doesn’t exist.”

Muto and Suha couldn’t even respond to his sharp words.

They didn’t have any particular religious beliefs, but they thought that God existed.

“You mean that Evan turned around after seeing the dark side of the Kasion Kingdom?”

“Other news will come soon. It’s been a while since I’ve heard from old people.”

The man’s words gave Muto goosebumps.

The old people he refers to probably mean the 1st and 2nd Heretic Inquisitors of Kasion Holy Land.

The fact that they were moving meant that the hunt would soon begin.

‘The prey must be Evan, of course.’

“hello.”

Diane bowed respectfully to her senior, Kelly, and looked behind her.

“Looking for someone? Adrias?”

“huh.”

“I thought you came first, but it seems you didn’t.”

At that moment, Diene’s mind recalled the message that had just arrived.

When I took out the tablet again and checked it, I could see that the way he spoke was somewhat like Adrias.

“Did Urihi Adrias have a tablet?”

“huh? Wasn’t it originally there? But he won’t have a lot of money anymore. I could have bought one.”

“I just got a text message from an ID I don’t know.”

To Diene, who showed the contents of the text, Yurihi said with a troubled expression.

“Does this look like Adrias?”

“What did Student Adrias say?”

When Kelly asked curiously, Diane immediately explained.

After hearing the explanation, Kelly immediately suggested it.

“How about we go to the Ash Dormitory now?”

“But the rice... ... .”

“great.”

After interrupting Urich, Diene immediately stood up.

Urihi, who wanted to have lunch, followed them with a tearful face.

The three of them headed to the Ash Dormitory, skipping meals, and were soon able to meet the guards guarding the dormitory.

“Have you ever been a student of Adrias?”

“I went in a while ago saying I was doing an investigation.”

The guess was right too.

Looking at the atmosphere of the dormitory, Urihi asked to go in later with the engineering students, but Diene decided to enter.

I have already felt with my own body that this bizarre incident is not ordinary.

I don’t know what kind of confidence Adrias went in alone, but I was worried.

“Is it lunchtime now?”

Yurihi rubbed her arms with both hands and looked around.

Diene immediately lit up the surroundings with her light magic in a more gloomy atmosphere than before.

“Definitely strange. Is there no light?”

When I looked around at Kelly’s question, all the windows in the hallway were covered with black cloth.

Urich and Kelly hadn’t been to Ash Dormitory before, so they didn’t find it strange, but Diene was different.

“No.”

“yes?”

“Those cloths. It wasn’t there when I was there before.”

Yurihi, who grew goosebumps at Diene’s words, spoke brightly.

“Are you talking about the last investigation? Could someone have done it after that?”

“Why are you covering the windows with a black cloth? who? In the first place, no one can come in here.”

“that... ... .”

Realizing that something was wrong, the three gradually stepped back.

“Let’s go at once. Call the investigators who were supposed to be with you first.”

“okay. I think senior Kelly is right. Let’s go out at once.”

Then an unknown scream came from inside.

Chiaaa!

“Adrias!”

Diane ran once and saw it.

Urihi reluctantly followed her, and Kelly had no choice but to follow them.

And an amazing sight was unfolding before their eyes.

―Kyaaaaagh!

A man in a robe was holding something in the shape of a black humanoid in one hand, with the other holding a sword.

Looking closely, I could see that Adrias was holding his chin with his fingers inserted into the mouth of something bizarre. In that state, he pressed down on the floor and was aiming his sword as if to stab it. He stabbed his sword without hesitation.

– Interrupt!

Yurihi covered her ears at that grotesque scream.

“What the hell is that!”

Something bizarre was scattered as smoke.

And after having done something bizarre, Adrias stood up and said,

“There are still more.”

Then he gestured.

“Right after.”
