Chapter 51 Inquisition Team Arrives!
?Soon time passed, and with the appearance of the first tree, more and more trees came. Soon before they knew it they were surrounded by lush trees and bushes
"Ahh~ the air around us feels so much better"
Getting out of the former dry environment Davis couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Yeah, although I can't imagine what caused such an abnormality, however, whatever it was given the amount of radiation released is definitely not something we can deal with"
Seeing Davis like this Alvin suddenly spoke dampening his mood
*Haha don't worry Alvin, when we get back and have rested, well come back together with the young master and figure out what caused the change" said George as his red eyes glistened at the thoughts of home
Time passed, and with the help of the map they successfully made it on time without too many unnecessary detours
"Young master, we're here!!"
With a look of relief and excitement, Alvin shouted quickly gaining everyone's attention
Immediately all four of them focused on the town entrance before them, seeing its familiar appearance everyone had a smile on their face
"Haha young master, it seems your prediction was right!"
"We made it before nightfall!"
Looking at the sun still high in the sky George was ecstatic knowing they made it in time for lunch
With the plans of finding lunch Immediately after seeing Reinhardt the three of them immediately entered the town, unexpectedly apart from a slightly awkward glance neither of the gatekeepers asked them anything rather, they let them pass unhindered.
"Hey it's them!"
"Shhhh! Don't look at them if you don't want to get in trouble"
"Oh no! These demons are back"
Immediately They passed through the entrance the surroundings townsmen began to mumble taking peeks from time to time at different angles
"The atmosphere here doesn't seem right" Said Elric
Looking out his surroundings Elric could feel malice from the surrounding towns men gaze
"Let's hurry up back to the mansion, something is wrong"
With a serious expression on his face, Elric and the rest quickly rushed toward the mansion
Unfortunately a few seconds after they left, a discussion between three voices could vaguely be heard
"It seems they're back, should we tell them?"
"Don't! Look at the direction they're headed, they'll most likely find out soon"
"Yeah don't! I don't want to get in trouble with those guys"
With that said, the three voices immediately disappeared into the darkness as if they had never been there.
...
On Elric's side, just after leaving the entrance street, unlike the earlier plan to go to Reinhardt first, due to the current situation they decided to go home first.
"Young master we're here"
Looking at the dilapidated building in front, the four of them couldn't believe the sight before their eyes.
"Damn, young master! Something has definitely happened" shouted Davis as an ominous premonition suddenly enveloped him
"Now's not the time to panic or think of any unnecessary thing, let's go inside and see what happened"
Although shocked by the scene Elric still tried to maintain a calm atmosphere unfortunately his shocked expression from before already gave away his current mood
Soon after taking a minute to calm down, the four of them successfully entered the mansion,
Entering the mansion the first thing that came to fade was the wind full of dust as the entrance door was open
"Hello! Anyone home??" Shouted George
Unfortunately no matter how much George shouted there was no reply
*Cough*
"Hey Elric, it seems like there was a fight over there"
Patting off the dust from his clothes, Alvin coughed as he pointed to the side of a wall, a human-shaped dent could be seen
"Here too"
"And here"
Soon with the help of Davis and George more things were found each pointing to the fact that a somewhat large-scale fight should have happened here
*According to what we've seen so far, it's obvious that while we left this place was attacked, however, who and why?*
Putting his hand on his chin, Elric's face was full of doubt as he continued to analyse the situation based on their findings.
*Could it be the people hunting Aomas mother finally found this place and decided to raid it?*
*If so, doesn't that mean that something bad must have happened to Aoma and Reinhardt?"
"But this town has four Gods protecting it, how could something like this happen under their nose,
"Either something is happening now taking up their time or they know about this but they aquincesed to it
The more the thought of it, the more Elric felt that this might lead to huge problems later on if didn't find out
"Young master! Look what I found!"
Just when Elric was about to continue thinking, a voice quickly caught his attention
Ruining towards his direction was George holding a stack of papers
"Look at this!"
Without waiting for Elric's reply, he directly handed him the papers
Immediately seeing him so anxious Elric quickly turned over the papers however his eyes dilated as he saw what was on it
'NOTICE: on orders of the God of light, it is said that some demons hiding in the skin of humans are currently within freedom town
These demons have been caught and they along with all those associated with them will promptly be executed tomorrow
Unfortunately, the demon king, as well as his three generals have not been found, if found immediately report to the nearest inquisition officer!'
After that, the pictures of Reinhardt, Aoma, and the other villagers tied up could be seen underneath they put the tag demons and associates
On the next page, the faces of George, Alvin, and Davis were tagged as demon Generals
And on the last page, Elric's face was seen tagged with a blood-red word underneath
Demon king!
Looking at the pictures below Elric felt like he's been struck with a bolt of lightning
Unexpectedly he'd been watched by the God of light and been branded a demon kind and was meant to be executed along with everyone he knew
*What is going on?*
But no matter how much he thought of it could thinking of anything he'd done to brand himself a demon
Just as he and George were discussing countermeasures Davis and Alvin suddenly ran toward him with anxious expressions
"Young master, it's not good! a group of people who call themselves the inquisition have surrounded us!" Shouted Davis
Hearing this, Elric's and George's expressions Immediately hit rock bottom.
