Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1265. I have to kill one person.

Tombstone somewhere.

“You mean you just came out after hearing that? Without being beaten to death?”

Auria Charles, the leader of the Falcon Mercenary Corps, sitting cross-legged, stared at Frau with cold eyes.

Frau said as if making excuses.

“He subdued Merdef with a strange trick, so I couldn’t do anything about it.”

“A strange trick?”

“Yes, when he stretched out his hand like this, Merdef’s body was sucked into his palm.”

With the horse, Frau stretched out his hand, just as the young man had done in the tavern earlier.

“It must have been a wizard.”

“I didn’t do a magic chant. He stretched out his hand abruptly, as if grabbing something.”

“I did, but Merdef’s body was sucked in?”

“yes.”

“Where is Merdef now?”

“I am at the accommodation.”

“I told you to pack your personal belongings and come back by tomorrow morning?”

“I threatened to gouge out my eyes if I didn’t come.”

“Crazy.”

Auria Charles shook her head excitedly.

The Falcon Mercenary Corps is a mid-level mercenary group in Tombstone.

The nobles of the Southern Kingdom beg to meet you just once, but you’re trying to steal a member of such a mercenary corps by blackmail?

The mercenary butler, Frau, didn’t say anything and looked down.

Seeing Frau’s lethargic appearance, Auria Charles shouted out loud.

“You’re a mercenary’s butler! Didn’t you say anything even after hearing such childish threats!”

“That’s because the captain wasn’t there, but… it really seemed like that would happen.”

“What a fool. That’s called intimidation. The mercenary trembled at the threat of a fledgling adventurer. Are you still a mercenary?”

“sorry.”

Frau lowered his head.

It’s not that it’s not, but now that I think about it, it’s a little absurd.

The mercenary turned around silently at the adventurer’s threat to ‘take out his eyeball’.

It is only natural that the leader jumps up and down like that.

‘Why the fuck did you do that earlier?’

Hearing the captain’s words, he thought of himself and Merdef as idiots.

Then, he heard the leader’s voice – as calm as a lie – in his ears.

“How long has it been since you joined the Falcon Mercenaries?”

“It’s been seven years.”

“Merdef is five years, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Frau, are you dissatisfied with the way my mercenary group operates? Or that there is something that you think is ‘this is a problem’.”

“doesn’t exist.”

“How about Merdef?”

“What are you talking about?”

“I wonder if Merdef has ever expressed dissatisfaction with the way I run my mercenary corps.”

“None. Why are you asking such a question…

”

“Absolutely not.”

“You say no, but can you be sure that Merdef isn’t either?”

Auria Charles stared at Frau with deep eyes.

Frau swallowed dry saliva at the cold eyes of the sword expert leader.

Not sure about himself, but to be honest, I don’t know about Merdef.

“Do you think Merdef got along with that adventurer?”

“Anything can happen in this world. There’s nothing Merdef can’t do if he seduced you on good terms.”

“That is impossible. Those adventurers are newcomers to Tombstone today.”

“okay? You mean what you see? There was a fight while drinking at the tavern, and a wandering adventurer threatened Merdef after subduing him?”

“That’s right.”

“Did that adventurer look dangerous to you too?”

“yes.”

“How about comparing him to me, a high-ranking sword expert?”

“I don’t know, but there was an indescribable dignity in his words. It feels like it will come true as it is said.”

“You must be noble. It also has a high retardation.”

Auria Charles noticed at once that her opponent was an adventurer from a noble family.

High-ranking aristocrats’ words and actions are quite intimidating, unlike ordinary people.

Frau muttered to himself, ‘It’s a little different from that of the nobles’.

However, I didn’t refute it because it wasn’t wrong in the big picture.

“Gather the mercenaries after breakfast tomorrow. I need to go to Tavern and meet the adventurers who are aiming for Merdef.”

“All right.”

After Frau bowed, he turned around and left.

As Auria Charles, who was left alone, was contemplating how to deal with Merdef’s affairs, someone silently opened the door and entered the room.

When a person’s shadow was reflected through the window, Auria Charles said with a calm face.

“Would you like to knock for a while?”

“If you don’t mind knowing that Auria Charles is meeting with a warlock at this time.”

As if Auria Charles had lost, she shook her head and sat back down.

A man in his early fifties in a black robe stood against a dark background.

It doesn’t feel as if it’s a painting.

He himself would not have noticed it had it not been for the reflection in the window.

“I heard that everyone died, but I guess that wasn’t it? Is it Crescent’s resurrection?”

“Not quite like that. It’s like a personal request that came through my network.”

“It’s not an ordinary person to personally ask the former Chief Executive of Crescent.”

“He was a good customer.”

Charles Manson passed Auria Charles and approached the window.

Auria Charles’ gaze followed him.

“I bet you didn’t come to see me until the Great Forest, so what do you want?”

“I have to kill one person.”

“Isn’t that your specialty, not mine?”

“I failed a long time ago.”

“So you’re asking me to do what you failed me to do?”

Auria Charles looked at Charles Manson with an absurd face.

You want me to do what the top member of the assassination organization Crescent and the black magician of the 7th circle failed?

“Accurate.”

Charles Manson’s gaze turned around and scanned Auria Charles’ whole body.

It is a body that any man would want to have, with his youthful face, voluptuous breasts and slender legs that make one doubt his age.

Auria Charles calmly accepted his greedy gaze.

It’s because of the relationship with him in the past.

“You are joking. Of course, like other mercenaries, we don’t care about work as long as the pay is solid. But no matter how much I offer, I have no intention of taking on Crescent’s failure. We’re just an ordinary mercenary. Wait, is that an excuse and did you actually come here because you missed me?”

“This is not just for my clients.”

“You’re not going to sugarcoat the job for me, are you?”

“right. It is also for you. To be precise, it is to save face with the Falcon Mercenary Corps.”

“Nonsense. Why did your absurd request come out… just by chance?”

Suddenly, Auria Charles thought of Merdef and the adventurers.

Because right now, other than that, there was nothing special about it.

“right. Didn’t the mercenaries of the Falcon Mercenary Corps get into a fight with a strange adventurer in Tavern today?”

“That rookie adventurer is your target?”

Charles Manson nodded.

“What!”

Shocked, Auria Charles spurned her seat and stood up.

The adventurer who wants Merdef is the one Charles Manson failed to assassinate?

Charles Manson said as he wrapped his arms around the thin waist of Auria Charles.

“Would you like to hear my sugar coating now?”

“Before that, I want to hear from you who the adventurer was and why people like you failed.”

“I’m sure you’ve heard of it too. The Grand Master of the North, who is said to be on a par with Archduke Kaiser Knauf…”

At the moment, Auria Charles’s mouth opened wide.

“no way? Are you Count Elio Lagoa?”

“Yes.”

“He came to Tombstone?”

“today.”

“oh my god! Nonsense!”

Excited Auria Charles escaped Charles Manson’s clutches.

Auria Charles, who had been going back and forth for a while, glared at Charles Manson.

“Are you going to ask the Falcon Mercenaries to assassinate the Grand Master? Are you crazy? Are you going to leave us with your failures too?”

Charles Manson asked with a puzzled face.

“If it was impossible, would I have come to you?”

“great. let’s listen tell me How can our Falcon mercenaries kill the Grand Master?”

“I’ll support you with the finest magic gun passion and 30 excitium.”

“…”

Auria Charles was speechless for a moment at the suggestion beyond imagination.

The finest magic gun was a rare item that was only supplied to the imperial musketeers.

Besides, thirty excitiums?

“The excitium that was made to kill the sword master?”

“right.”

“It’s never been sold, but if it sells, I’ll give you 30 of those excitiums that cost over 200 gold each? Why are you trying to kill the Grand Master in the Three Magic Towers?”

At once, she realized that the assassination request was behind the Three Demon Towers.

It’s because they can’t supply the finest magic guns and excitium without them.

“Have you ever asked a client why?”

“No.”

“I think that’s enough to kill a god. What do you think?”

Auria Charles nodded involuntarily.

Certainly, 30 excitiums with passion for the finest magic gun were more than enough to kill him.

“What is the price?”

“I’ll give you whatever you ask for.”

Charles Manson moved like a ghost and picked up Auria Charles.

Auria Charles wrapped her thin white arms around Charles Manson’s neck.

***

Next day.

Auria Charles led the Falcon Mercenary Corps and visited the tavern where the adventurers were staying.

Entering the tavern with Merdef, she gave Merdef a chin.

It means to check if the opponent is here.

Merdef, who was looking around the first floor, suddenly shrugged.

In a seat by the window, the young man from last night was sitting with a group of people who looked like him.

“There is a young man sitting next to the woman in white.”

“Can you see the group?”

“There were only two of us last night.”

“Is that why you were giggling?”

“sorry.”

When Merdef lowered her eyes with an indignant face, Auria Charles did not scold him any more.

When he suddenly saw the woman with him, he was so beautiful that the eyes of the mercenaries turned around.

‘It’s worthy of being accompanied by a grand master.’

Even though he doesn’t have a face that makes him look good anywhere, he loses his energy when he sees a beauty.

Sighing lightly, she slowly walked towards the young adventurer.

Eventually, Auria Charles, who arrived at the seat of the adventurers, spoke politely.

“I am Auria Charles, the leader of the Falcon Mercenary Corps. I heard that two of our mercenaries were rude last night. I was drunk, so I would appreciate it if you would forgive me with a broad heart.”

As she spoke, she bowed her head.

The mercenaries could not hide their bewilderment at the unexpected appearance of the leader, who was usually aloof.
