Cultural Invasion In Different World

Chapter 198

“Your curse will spread to her... definitely... defini...”

When the inquisition leader Shackles started walking toward the basement of the chapel, some mutterings of urging nature had emerged in his head.

The inquisition leader Shackles knew very well exactly what sort of existence it was that granted him power and endless knowledge. Using the identical tone, he began to repeat the voice in his head. It took him a very long time till that voice finally started to gradually disappear.

Shackles wanted to obtain greater power and knowledge. In order to do so, he must curry favor with his god.

The only and also the fastest method to do so was to destroy all the World Trees in this world.

“Lord Shackles, are we going to ignore that frost elf survivor?” asked an inquisitor following Shackles with a quiet voice.

“Ignore?”

The inquisition leader Shackles was slowly walking down the basement stairs. There was no light provided by illumination magic in the surroundings. Yet, to these inquisitors, the darkness was as clear as day.

The question asked by the inquisitor behind him seemed to have upsetted Shackles. No, to be exact, it had upsetted a certain existence in his consciousness.

Shackles stopped and grabbed that inquisitor’s neck, raising him in midair. In this darkness, the inquisition leader Shackles’ eyes do not resemble a human’s eyes.

“That frost elf survivor will be engulfed by the curse. Like her race, the gray mist will definitely spread through every corner of this world...”

Shackles only let go of his neck when it was that inquisitor started to suffocate. As that inquisitor fell to the ground, he began to grasp for breath.

Shackles did not bother to pay any further attention to him. He arrived at the basement. A large amount of rune inscriptions appeared on the basement floor. The runes were emitting a dull blue light. This meant that the formation was started to activate.

Quietly, the sound of gears in motion began to echo in the entire basement.

“Those ignorant mages or Norland are secretly helping and protecting that demon. Regardless of what method that demon used to entice those mages, it’ll be impossible to take away that frost elf’s life under the protection of the mages with only you and that fool Hom.”

The inquisition leader Shackles started at the gradually activating teleportation formation. An indescribable sort of excitement was present in his voice.

“It will not take a long time. As long as this teleportation formation exists, even denser gray mist will befall this city. Over a hundred inquisitors and Lord Archbishop will come personally. That elf... will be reduced to food.”

“What food?”

Messai had managed to catch up to Shackles and the others by running. Because of that, she managed to hear what the conversation between the inquisition leader shackles and the other inquisitor.

“You need not worry about that. You only need to return to the Holy City with me and accept your trial.”

The inquisition leader shackles entered the teleportation formation. The other inquisitor also followed him in.

Messai was not afraid of the trial from the Heresy Tribunal. Thus, she stepped into the teleportation formation without any hesitation. But, at the time when the inquisition leader Shackles was about to activate the teleportation formation, his movements grew stiff.

“Lord Shackles... a group of people are rushing toward the chapel.”

The voice from another inquisitor appeared in Shackles’s mind.

After they failed the demon assassination mission, only two inquisitors apart from Shackles survived. Shackles decided to bring one inquisitor back to the Holy City and have the other stay in the chapel to protect the teleportation formation.

What Shackles was worried about the most happened. That Chaos Demon was not planning to let things go that easily. He was planning to attack the chapel.

‘It’s Norland’s Law Enforcers. There’s over ten of them.’

‘Law Enforcers? That cunning demon!’

If the ones that came to attack the chapel were a bunch of demons or even mercenaries, shackles would be able to justifiably kill them.

But, it was completely different when it’s Norland’s Law Enforcers. If the Law Enforcers died before the chapel, the relationship between the Nation of the Holy Church and Norland will become very tense.

That will in turn create a massive detrimental effect toward the operations of the Heresy Tribunal. After all, the sages of Norland were not people to be looked down upon.

‘Let them in.’

After muttering to himself irresolutely, Shackles made the worst decision he had to make.

Once Norland’s Law Enforcers found the teleportation formation, they will definitely not let it remain. Shackles’s plan to dispatch a large number of inquisitors to Norland in a short period of time by utilizing that teleportation formation will be ruined.

But, that was much better than the relationship between the Nation of the Holy Church and Norland turning hostile.

Shackles activated the teleportation formation. Azure light enveloped the three of them. After the magic power engulfed them, the entire basement grew quiet.

.........

The dark elf Thousand Faces tidied up her ‘equipment.’

She had returned to Norland from the Demon Realm yesterday. When she learned that the inquisitors were attacking the tavern, she was planning to join the battle against the inquisitors.

After all, the Heresy Tribunal was the cause of the extermination of her race. Even if Joshua didn’t order her to do so, she would still eliminate those executioners of the Holy Church.

Unfortunately, the mission Joshua assigned her this time was not an assassination mission. Rather... she was tasked to be a ‘reporter.’

The dark elf didn’t understand exactly what a ‘reporter’ was. But, after Joshua gave her an ‘arcanotech device’ that could freeze and record a scene, she immediately understood the implication of being a ‘reporter.’

It was none other than her old profession of acquiring valuable information.

The only difference was the fact that she would have to sell those information with spoken words in the past whereas now they were attached with real ‘photographs.’

“The chapel we’re investigating is ahead. I can smell the scent of blood. Everyone, be on guard.”

The dark elf had disguised herself as a member of Norland’s Law Enforcers. This Law Enforcement team was dispatched to the chapel to investigate whether or not they’ve privately constructed a teleportation formation.

“Who are you all?!”

There were three templars before the chapel. They were there in case new enemies strike them. The sudden appearance of twelve Law Enforcers immediately caused the three templars to unsheathe their swords and enter a battle-prepared posture.

“We’re Law Enforcers. I am the captain, Sir Muster! Norland’s Patent Office suspects that you all have constructed a teleportation formation beneath the church without approval!”

A figure close to two meters tall walked out from the Law Enforcement team. The robust muscles on his body made one suspect the staff in his hand to be a decoration.

“Law Enforcement? This is a private estate. If you all do not possess proof of identity and sufficient evidence, do not think about entering the chapel.”

The three templars were on high alert. After all, a fierce battle had just happened. It wasn’t even certain if the battle had ended yet.

“This is the signed agreement from the Sage Tower!”

Sir Muster took out a sheepskin scroll. Once the three templars verified the wax seal to be real, they were forced to compel and move aside so that the Law Enforcers could enter the chapel.
