Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1227
Episode 1227. If I’m lying, I’ll lay my head.
Blackjack is one of the three criminal groups that control the Eastern District of Ignas.
It is nominally called a guild, but in reality, it intervened in various interests and exercised murder, kidnapping, and assault.
Around 8 p.m., Sutton, the blackjack guild’s manager, knocked on the guild’s door.
bang! bang! bang-!
After a while, Prad Taylor, the head of the Blackjack Guild, came out with a frown.
“Sutton? I would have told you not to come to my house as much as possible?”
“You should go to the guild office now.”
“why? what’s the matter?”
“There’s been some trouble with Count Vegan’s work.”
“Appraiser?”
Prad Taylor tilted his head.
Earl Donal Vegan is the owner of the Red Valley Mana Stone Mine.
Not long ago, the Red Valley Mana Stone Mine signed a mana stone supply contract with Coral Corporation.
There is no room here for the criminal organization Blackjack Guild to intervene.
However, Earl Donal Vegan wanted to get his hands on the mana stone appraiser of Coral Co., and entrusted the task to the Blackjack Guild.
Prad Taylor could not refuse because it was the Black Jack Guild that had grown into one of the three major powers in eastern Ignas under the protection of the Count.
Manipulating someone by intimidation was not difficult as it was something the Blackjack Guild had always done.
Still, since the contractor was Count Donal Vegan, he paid special attention to the selection of his subordinates.
That’s why he entrusted the job to Royble, who was expelled from the mercenary guild, Stephner, a murder addict who enjoys active human flesh.
Those three were aces in the guild.
The reason I put in three aces was because I failed once in the algorithm.
“Yes, the East Residential District is upside down right now. The security guard is investigating the three major guilds in eastern Ignas. There are even rumors that the eastern part of Ignas may be blockaded.”
“Is it because of that? Isn’t there something else going on?”
“The jeweler’s daughter is said to be a disciple of a great nobleman.”
“gibberish. Even if the daughter of a great aristocrat is kidnapped, it won’t be that much repair.”
“I don’t know either. Let’s go to the guild office first.”
“Are you at peace?”
“I received a call saying that I was coming to investigate, and I stole the secret ledger to another location. You can formally participate in the investigation.”
“Is it an atmosphere where even the guild leader needs to be investigated?”
“That’s right. It feels like things have gotten a little bigger.”
“Where are they?”
“You said you were going to a closed logging camp, so you should be there.”
Prad Taylor paused for a moment.
Usually, the end of an abduction is one of three.
If the other party agrees to do so, they are quietly returned to their homes, but if they refuse, they are killed or sold as slaves to other regions.
But this time, things went wrong from the start.
It was wrong to send them back quietly if the security forces rose up and searched for them.
If this happens, it’s a pity for the family of the mana stone appraiser, but we have to clean it up so that there is no mess.
“call. It is difficult to return or sell the item, so just incinerate it.”
“All right.”
“I’ll change my clothes and come out, so go ahead and get things done. The damn count is going to make a fuss.”
When Prad Taylor, who had been babbling about, entered, Sutton also hurriedly left.
***
East District Marshal, Baron Gladys Chronore glanced back.
The knights of the Grand Duchess of Knauf were following behind them, looking like they were leaving for a battlefield.
‘How far are they going to intervene?’
The Knights of the Grand Duchess of Knauf are the Empire’s best military power that can only be seen in national wars.
It was completely incomprehensible that such knights were following around to catch criminals in the eastern district of Ignas.
It would be unreasonable to say that he was just a disciple of Count Elio Lagoa.
Shaking her head, she stopped in front of a large building.
“This is the Chimera Guild. Guild master…”
Elio quickly passed her without listening to her explanation.
The Knauf Knights quickly followed behind him.
Gladys Cronor, who had been bumped into and pushed aside by the Knauf Knights, hurriedly moved inside.
Hearing footsteps, Baron Python Hammer, the head of the Northern District, who was sitting across from the Chimera guild leader, glanced back.
A young knight he had never seen before was approaching in a straight line.
The security guards of the Northern District, who were trying to stop him, backed away when they saw the knights following them.
Count Damon Isaac, the knight commander of the Grand Duke of Knauf, who was following Count Helio Lagoa, said to the two men sitting across from each other in the chair.
“I am Count Damon Isaac, Commander of the Knights of Knauf! Who is the owner of this place?”
The Northern District Marshal, Baron Python Hammer, jumped up from his seat and pointed at the man across from him.
“I am Baron Python Hammer, Marshal of the Northern District. This is Chimera Guild’s guild leader Santia Pinto.”
Santiago Pinto stood up awkwardly.
At that moment, Elio approached him with the divine law of Lee Hyung-hwan and said.
“I command in the name of the son of the empty field (Gong Yaja) and the disciple of the ageless Pureum (Cheongbulno), the southern sky pond (Yeonnamcheon). Answer my questions honestly. Did you kidnap the daughter of Andrea Jeter, a mana stone connoisseur?”
“Oh no.”
I was told no, but Elio didn’t turn around right away.
In the case of Nokrimdo, they know what each other is doing.
The bad guys in this world wouldn’t be any different.
“Then, which organization is related to mana stones?”
“The Blackjack Guild. The person who looks after the Blackjack Guild is Count Donal Vegan. The Count is the owner of the Red Valley Mine, and he is mining mana stones there.”
Elio approached the East District Marshal.
“Let’s go to the Blackjack Guild. Where are you?”
“It’s on the other side of the shopping district.”
After leaving the building, Elio asked the East District Marshal.
“What is the direction and distance?”
“It’s about two kilometers to the west.”
Then Elio grabbed her by the waist and soared into the sky.
As Count Helio Lagoa flew away with his fly magic, Count Damon Isaac stuck his tongue out inwardly.
‘I know he’s a magic swordsman, but he’s amazing.’
Even if he was a wizard, he wouldn’t be able to use fly magic like that naturally.
Soon after, he led the Knauf Knights and ran in the direction Count Helio Lagoa had flown.
Blackjack Guild.
The Southern District Marshal, Baron Todd Graham, slammed the desk in frustration.
However, Norton Haymes, the sub-guild leader of the Blackjack Guild, did not blink an eye.
Rather, I hit my chest with the palm of my hand, ‘Puck-Puck!’ sighed and said
“Oh, that’s frustrating. How many times have we told you that we have long since turned away from illegal activities? If it’s kidnapping, go to the Chimera Guild and ask. Because they really have no blood or tears.”
“Where is the guild leader? Since when did you say you were coming, has there been no news yet?”
Then Norton Haymes asked the secretary.
“Sutton! What happened to the guild leader!”
“You said you were coming out after changing your clothes, so you’ll be back soon.”
Norton Haymes turned to the Southern District Marshal.
“They are coming.”
No matter how criminal a group is, once its power grows, even the chief of the police cannot do as it pleases.
There is a lot of money that I usually take without knowing it, but it is because a criminal group may hire an assassin to aim for my life.
The chief of security for the southern district said, glaring at the two men as if they were going to eat them.
“If you bastards were involved in this, I would not be able to tear them apart.”
Secretary Sutton, who was rolling his eyes here and there, asked cautiously.
“By the way, Chief of Police. Wasn’t it too loud when only one of the disciples was kidnapped and not the firstborn son of the count? I heard that the security forces are going to block the road.”
“If you knew who the count was, you wouldn’t say such a thing.”
“Who are you?”
“He is a northern savage who was recently enlisted as Count Elio Lagoa by His Majesty the Emperor.”
“Do you give wages to wild people in the north?”
“Do you think you are an ordinary savage? It’s like the Grand Duchess of Knauf…”
Before he could finish his words, Prad Taylor, the guild leader, entered.
Baron Todd Graham snapped his finger at Prad Taylor.
“Prad! Are you crawling out now? Come out right now!”
Guildmaster Prad Taylor glanced at the security guards in the office and approached Baron Todd Graham.
“What happened?”
“Don’t talk nonsense and answer honestly when asked. The daughter of a mana stone appraiser was kidnapped at a restaurant this evening. Are you guys doing this?”
Then Prad Taylor replied with an absurd face.
“Are we? We haven’t done anything bad in a long time. You can make money working legally, so why would you do that? It’s not what we did.”
“Grunt! good. Then, among the guys you have, who would do something like that?”
“doesn’t exist. When you don’t have enough time to do legal things, when do you kidnap people? We are no longer an organization, but a guild. That’s why you pay your taxes every now and then, right?”
One of the security guards who were searching the office and its surroundings came at a quick pace.
“Captain, you are clean. There is no record of receiving a contract.”
“driving me crazy. If not here, what the hell kind of people did this?”
Because the kidnappers covered their faces with masks, there were many witnesses, but nothing to salvage.
Prad Taylor said in a calm tone, as if advising.
“It seems that the security forces have taken the wrong direction. Instead of a diligent guild like us, try robbing a small organization. They don’t mind kidnapping and murdering if it’s profitable.”
Baron Todd Graham shook his head.
I hate to admit it, but it was a valid point.
Certainly, there was a high probability that they would rush in from a small organization rather than from a guild.
He got up from his seat and shouted at the security guards with a sad face.
“Withdraw!”
Just as the security guards were rushing to the entrance, someone burst through the door.
Elio and the chief of security in the eastern district flew in with the new law of the parasite.
Soon after, the eyes of Baron Gladys Chronore and Baron Todd Graham met in midair.
Baron Todd Graham spoke first.
“Baron Kronor? I’ve investigated this place and found nothing to do with kidnapping. I think we should change the direction of our investigation. By the way, who is next to you?”
“This is Sir Count Elio Lagoa, the teacher of Miss Sinclair Jeter, who was kidnapped. His Excellency, Earl of Lagoa. Over there is Baron Todd Graham, Marshal of the Southern District. And the man across from him is the head of the Blackjack Guild.”
“omg! dismissal! I’m the Southern District Security Force…”
But Elio, who passed him silently, stood tall in front of Prad Taylor.
Prad Taylor said with a determined face.
“His Excellency, the chief of the Southern District has also confirmed, but it has been a long time since we have been reborn as a sound guild. Now they are the taxpayers of the good principality. I wish I could open my chest and show you. If what I say is false, I will offer my head.”
he roared loudly.
It is because there is no child kidnapped here and there is no evidence related to the crime.
