Chapter 1531 – 13. Get Caught.

“Then let’s hear about why the priests were cremated without permission from the Holy Kingdom.”

Agnes stared at Leila with cold eyes and opened her mouth.

It’s makeup

As the commander of the Knights of the Holy Kingdom, these were words that he could not just ignore.

If you can’t give a good reason, I’ll make you pay for it.

“It was the order of the Heretic Questioner, Zaelos.”

“You’re lying, Zaelos is a religious man who values ​​doctrine above all else, so he couldn’t have given such an order?”

“How dare I tell a lie in front of the Commander of the Holy Cross? It’s the truth without the tiniest bit of lies.”

“Looking at you, you think that’s enough?”

“I hear a lot of people say that I have a lean personality.”

Leila continued with her lovely smile.

“It means cheeky.”

Agnes opened her mouth while frowning at him.

It was because her calm and weak appearance was quite annoying.

“I’m sorry if you’re uncomfortable… I’m so ignorant.”

“…You don’t seem very conscious, do you?”

She felt like she was pretending on purpose.

There are dozens of snakes perched behind a smiling face.

“…I don’t know what you mean…”

“Well, that’s fine, since I don’t intend to quarrel with you.”

Agnes was roughly finished.

The important thing now was not how dark the woman was inside.

“Anyway, I don’t understand, how could Zaelos order a cremation?”

“They said it was because of a curse.”

“Curse?”

“Yes, he said that beings killed by the Death Knight had no choice but to be burned because they were resurrected as undead.”

“The Death Knight does not have the power to raise her corpse.”

“It’s not an ordinary Death Knight.”

Leila calmly opened her mouth.

“…”

Agnes stared at her without speaking.

To find even the slightest hint

And Leila didn’t avoid that gaze.

Without even a bit of agitation, she just faces her with her straight eyes

How did we stare at each other like that?

“I’ll have to see the corpses with my own two eyes.”

“It’s going to turn to ashes and there won’t be a whole body, will you be okay?”

“Of course.”

“Then let me guide you.”

Leila turned her body.

And she slowly started moving her steps.

“Encircle the whole village, not a single rat can escape.”

Agnes gave a blockade order to the paladins behind her.

It was to prepare for any unforeseen circumstances.

“”All right!””

The Paladins responded loudly.

And soon they were scattered.

“…Captain…Why is the village…”

As they left, Hudson asked with a puzzled look on his face.

“If what you say is true, nothing else will happen.”

Agnes stared at Hudson and continued her words.

“But if it’s false… It will be a very big deal… The price will be paid not only by you but also by the entire village.”

Whiik

After finishing his words, Agnes turned around and started following Leila.

‘…Damn it…God…Please drop even blind Meteora from that bitch..’

And Hudson, who was looking at the back, prayed earnestly.

Drop that motherfuckin’ blind Meteora

********

“It’s not like a village.”

Agnes opened his mouth as he looked around the central plaza.

Numerous buildings had collapsed, and debris was scattered here and there.

It was like being bombarded with a lot of magic.

“It was here in the plaza that the battle was fierce. The aftermath was so great that it collapsed into the plaza.”

Leila, who was leading the way, continued with a calm tone.

“Here… The fight…”

That was definitely an acceptable statement.

With the power wielded by Zaelos, who wields the Fragment of the Celestial World, he could have easily destroyed the square.

“Still, I think it’s okay in many ways…The building collapsed, but miraculously there were no casualties.”

“It’s surprising, I thought that a collapse like this would inevitably cause a significant number of casualties.”

“All of this is God’s grace.”

Of course, the grace of the guardian deity.

“…Okay.”

Agnes, who gave a rough answer, roused his eyesight and glanced around the plaza.

‘…Certainly… I can feel… The holy power of Zaeloth.’

It seemed that it was not a lie that a fight had taken place.

‘But…Something is suspicious…’

The words themselves fit quite plausibly.

But I couldn’t shake the feeling of being suspicious.

‘…I need to watch more.’

Agnes’ eyes narrowed even more.
.

.

How far did you follow

Before long, Agnes and his party reached a large clearing at the back of the plaza.

Warak

And at that moment, Agnes’s eyebrows furrowed mercilessly.

It was because when I burned a human corpse, the stinging smell penetrated my nostrils.

“Im here.”

At that moment, Leila, who stopped walking, turned to Agnes and opened her mouth.

“…This is… Right..”

“Yes, this is where the bodies of the priests were burned.”

Leila shook her head.

“…”

Agnes silently looked around the clearing.

There were heaps of charred ashes all over the place.

“There are no intact bodies.”

“Because he gave a trustworthy order that everything should be burned.”

“You mean Zaelos?”

“Yes, he is.”

Leila shook her head with a refreshing smile.

“…”

Agnes stared at Leila without saying a word.

“Did you put anything on my face? How can you stare at me so embarrassed… Did you fall in love? It’s difficult, I’m Jung-in who promised a future…”

“I’m a little suspicious.”

Agnes cut off Laira’s playful words with her single sword.

“What do you mean by doubt?”

Then Leila asked back, erasing her playfulness.

“…Everything you say.”

“Could you tell me which part is in doubt?”

“The assortment fits in many ways, but all the horses are contrived, Zaeloth is not there, all the Black Priests are dead, and the corpses can’t be shown either… It feels like the horses have been tailored to the situation.”

“I think you can feel that way enough, I think it’s pretty contrived, but everything I say is the truth! You’ll be able to see Master Zaelos in person!”

Layla insisted on her innocence with a pitiful expression on her face.

“Yes, if I can meet you.”

Agnes shook her head.

It was definitely not wrong.

If only I could meet Zaelos, everything would be clear.

“But what if we never see each other again?”

“What do you mean by that…”

Leila put on a puzzled expression.

“If Zaeloth is dead, there’s no way to confirm the truth, right?”

“…Are you saying that Zaelos-sama could be defeated? It can’t be so, he was blessed by the Goddess…The great Heretic Inquisitor…”

“No, no, I’m not saying that, I mean Inquisitor Zaeloth might be in those ashes.”

Agnes pointed to the ashes piled up in the distance.

“You are suspicious of us.”

“Yes, I doubt it. A lot of that too.”

“It’s unfortunate, we just faithfully fulfilled Lord Zaelos’s orders… To be suspected of this.”

“Wouldn’t it be unknown if I was just faithfully fulfilling my duties or if I was just spouting ridiculous lies by selling the name of the dead Zaeloth?”

“Then what should I do? How can the girl trust the captain? How can I prove her innocence? I’ll do anything, please tell me how to do it.”

Leila begged earnestly.

Give me a chance to prove my innocence

“You don’t have to do anything.”

Seuleung

A silver sword began to appear, emitting light all around her.

“I’ll do the proof myself.”

Chuck

Agnes pointed the tip of her sword at Laira and removed her mouth.

“…Are you going to interrogate me?”

Leila made a nervous expression.

“You don’t have to be too scared, I have no intention of resorting to coercion.”

Agnes continued her words with a cold smile.

“I’m just borrowing the divine skill.”

“God…Ki?”

“If you can’t judge by cognition, shouldn’t you borrow the wisdom of the gods?”

Shaaaaa

As soon as she finished her words, strong holy power erupted around Agnes and began to soar into the sky.

LinkLink

It is a temporary connection with the great being in the heavens.

[From now on, you will have to answer questions without lies… Borrowed from the angel of justice, Luceria, these eyes of truth… Won’t miss any lies.]

Flash

Agnes’ eyes flashed and shone.

“…Ugh…”

Faced with that intense glare, Leila let out a soft moan.

The moment we meet

It was because of the unpleasant sensation that pierced her whole body.

‘…That’s…Real.’

I knew it instinctively.

That those words aren’t lies

Rumble

Cold sweat started flowing.

For the first time, I started to feel relaxed and tense.

[I ask, is Zaelos dead?]

“…”

Leila couldn’t answer.

They fell into a dilemma that could neither be affirmed nor denied.

[I’ll ask you again, if you don’t answer this time, I’ll point you out as a heretic and have you summarily executed.]

Agnes glared at her with her cold eyes, threatening her.

Indeed, if what she said was true, she had no reason not to.

If you hide it to the end, it will surely reveal itself as a lie.

[Is Zaelos dead?]

“Mr. Zaelos… Mr. Zaelos, the Heretic Questioner…”

Leila began to take a break.

And Agnes gave her full attention to her.

Without blinking an eye

“He’s dead.”

Before long, Leila calmly continued her words.

In the end, he acknowledged the death of Zaelos.

“I’ll send you there too.”

Scolding

Then, her cold eyes twinkled and she lightly snapped her fingers.

Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa

At that moment, a huge explosion occurred centering on the ground where her Agnes was standing, and swept her away.

“Kuaaaaa!

Hudson, who was not far away, was caught in the aftermath of the explosion and began to roll on the floor.

It was also because the sudden explosion was completely unexpected.

Pop

[Bind]

At that moment, his body came to a complete stop along with a gentle starter.

The lovely daughter stopped herself.

“Father, are you okay?”

Leila, who had come right in front of her, worriedly opened her mouth.

“It’s not okay… I think the wound will get worse… Look here… By any chance… Isn’t it bleeding?”

Hudson peeked out his stomach and complained of his pain.

“I’m fine.”

But her daughter’s reaction was infinitely unsympathetic.

“Look closely!”

I raised my voice out of sadness.

“It’s okay to look closely, so wake up, I don’t have time to be like this.”

“Huh…Honey…My daughter has grown so mean and heartless…It’s all my fault…I should have made her a hot prosecutor instead of a cold-hearted wizard…”

Hudson grumbled and pulled himself up.

He was covered in dust for this, but

Leila, like her horse, was in very good shape.

“That explosion earlier…What was it?”

“I set the trap in advance.”

“Trap?!”

“It’s something you never know will mess things up.”

“How did you know you’d be standing there?”

“Of course, I deliberately induced it, to the place where the vacant land is the most visible.”

“…I don’t think I’ve thought about the number of cases I’ll get caught up in…”

“My father is strong, so I wondered if he would survive.”

“This guy! My father is a human too! A human! It could have been a big deal!”

“Isn’t everything good as long as the results are good?”

“No, it’s bad! It’s so bad! I’ll spend my two hours preaching! So you know!

“If only I could go back alive, I’ll laugh and listen to you for hours, Father.”

“What?”

“Right now, the chances of dying are greater than the chances of living.”

Leila looked straight ahead of her.

Hudson’s gaze naturally followed her.

I could see that easy birth.

A silver paladin standing alone in the smoke that was lifted

“..Mer.. Are you fine!?”

The scale of the explosion was staggering.

If hit properly, even himself, who was as strong as most senior knights, could not guarantee life or death.

But how did you get hit like that and be so fine!?”

I couldn’t help but feel sad.

[You are finally revealing your true colors, Ethan.]

Agnes continued with a tone that was cooler than the cold north wind.

[Everything was a lie, it was you guys who killed Zaelos and the Black Priests.]

Agnes began raising her sword.

Seeing that, Hudson and Layra prepared for battle with tense expressions on their faces.

It was the intention to rush at the first sign.

[I will pass judgment on you guys!]

Woo woo woo woo

A holy and brilliant light began to emanate from the sword body.

And the light reached above the clouds.

Then the sky began to fill with holy light.

[Destroy heresy!]

Boo Woo Woo Woo

Agnes swung her sword wide.

Shoot aaaaa

Shoot aaaaa

At that moment, a terrifying sight unfolded.

Pillars of divine light fell from the sky and began bombarding the ground.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa

Soon after, the village began to collapse with a huge roar that shook the heavens and the earth.
