Paladin, Priest, and Heretic Inquisitor.
Ferocious Tooth that scanned the surroundings let out a low breath. It was difficult for people who did not know the language of the Lizardman to tell the difference from the harsh breathing sounds. It was perfect for a secret conversation.
“What are they? Those men have a strong smell of blood.”
“It’s the temple’s army chasing the same enemy.”
“Then why are you so wary?”
“Because there is an Inquisitor involved.”
When it comes to heresy inquisitors of Sanctus Populi, in a sense, they carried more demonic notoriety than the demon itself.
There were all sorts of bloody backstories when talking about them, and sometimes people feared them more than the devil.
Sacred nail plucking, righteous water torture, faith ironing.
They were already famous for their continuous torture technique while perfectly healing the opponent with their overflowing divine power. Each time they tortured someone, they read a verse of the scriptures, yet people said they had never read the shortest scripture. Before they finished praying, everyone would ‘repent’.
Ivan said with a frown on his forehead.
“The Heretic Inquisitor will never act recklessly. If they moved, they must see the results.”
Originally, Sanctus Populi did not have a hierarchical relationship with the nobility. Still, most of the Continental people were members of the Sanctus Populi nine denominations. Even if it was branded as a heretic, even a noble person could have his head cut off.
Therefore, the movement of the heretic inquisitor was a matter of considerable resistance even for the nobles. In itself, the political aftermath was strong, so they wouldn’t show up just in vain.
‘By the way, the Kundara Temple is in charge of this, but they asked the Temple of Arun why he is here. Is it like a battle of strength between the Sanctus Populi Temples?’
Since the Temple of Arun builds one in the Roman Kingdom, it seems that there was a political deal that the Kundara Temple would build one too.
He said that he might be connected to a demon worshiper, and he thought that he would pressure the nobility and increase the power of the Kundara Temple.
‘But is it just that? Suspiciously, Ivan carefully carved a rune into the floor with his heel. He thus infused his magical powers and rubbed his feet, wiping out his traces.
It was difficult to keep others unnoticed, fortunately it worked. It was the result of Ferocious Tooth that received Ivan’s signal to distract their gaze.
“I want to wash in hot water! I want to polish my scales! My tail is itchy!”
It was a content that would have caused laughter to Ivan, who could understand Lizardman’s language but felt very intimidating to others. As the Lizardman hissed violently and raised his tail, they couldn’t help but flinch. (dlazarturead(dot)wordpress(dot)com)
The paladins raised their vigilance and raised their weapons. But there was no battle, just staring at each other. In the meantime, the conversation between Delfino and Pierre Lorraine was going on.
“The party seems excited.”
“Because we were attacked all of a sudden. Isn’t it natural that the excitement hasn’t subsided yet?”
