Chapter 220: Nobody Expects The Solarian Inquisition. (2/2)

“Um… what?”

The more the h-ranking churchable to remember Wentworth’s children he presumed that Roland was a bastard son made out of wedlock This was not uncommon as many nobles sired children that they let out in the world to fend for theood resolution to the situation

“Don’t worry boy, when I meet your father I’ll be sure to…”

“No please don’t!”

The oldbut before he could continue Roland shouted out to stop hio to his father, one h he wasn’t as afraid of ain as he was in the past, this was so that he still wished to postpone as much as he could The best would be after he achieved tier 3 status and would not be that easily bullied

“Is that so? It seems that you do not wish me to speak to that bastard of a father of yours, very well! This old man will do so!”

“Ah? Yes, thank you”

To his surprise, the man was quick to accept the proposal but even then Roland was not sure ould happen if he ever met his father How deep was their relationshi+p and how often did they run into each other The h-level church inquisitor that could even order noble armies around He probably did not have that much time on his hands to talk and he could not see how his stoic father would enjoy the coive this old otten e but about the Abyssal Cult, Loreena’s letter brought soht but I would like to hear your recount of the event”

“Yes Sir”

“Sir? Just call me Bartholomew”

“Um, Sir Bartholomew then…”

“Ho ho, have it your way then”

After receiving a few more smacks to his poor shoulder that felt like it was about to break Roland gave a recount of the situation It was a very similar tale to what he told Loreena but this tih this randfather it could have been all an act

He was also an inquisitor that probably had experience in interrogating people, perhaps he would see through his lies if he tried This he avoided by constructing his sentences in such a way that he would not be caught lying Instead ofskill he only confirmed that he found the core rune to disable the illusion Loreena’s self-na all the way until he was finished with the story

“I see, I ain! But I also must ask you to keep this a secret”

“Of course”

“I didn’t think that I would meet such a lad like you here, a reward is called for but I did not take anything hile with…”

“If Iin mind?”

“Yes, if it's a reward… could you keep my involvement in this incident a secret?”

“Hoh, you do not wish to be named? … I see very well”

Roland took the opportunity to ask for a small favor Riches was not what he wanted but if his name could be kept from the records then perhaps it could keep hi this er than he anticipated This whole region could turn into a fighting ground as the cultists would surely not allow the church to get their hands on their relic

“This has been a good talk but I must now be on my way, those cultist snakes have to be taken care of!”

Roland was not sure about what conversation he was talking about as it wasfroive a recount of what happened he was interrupted er of being taken in for further questioning as the barrier around the!”

Bartholomew moved back towards his horse while everyone else kept quiet The church knights startedback into fore was Before leaving there was another lucky turn of events as this was not the end of the ht?”

“Y-yes sir inquisitor”

He called out to the leader of the knights that had come here first

“You shall coht”

“But the Lord has ordered us to…”

“You dare refuse the order of the Inquisitor?”

The knight that was here quickly shrunk back as the saht that previously shouted at Roland turned towards him now Bartholomew had the power to force forces like this to move on his own accord

“I dare not! But what about these…”

“They do not belong to the cult, I feel no presence of the abyss here let thelancing in Roland’s direction For a naled his horse toof hooves resumed as the whole place cleared out, even the hired hts that were the leading force here

“Wayland… what… how?”

The predicament was over and almost instantly the adventurers swar questions Hoas it possible for an adventurer like hi to them but to the man himself, it wasn’t much different

‘What just happened here…’

Roland could only shrug his shoulders as he didn’t kno to react Was he supposed to be shocked, stressed, or reassured that the scary inquisitor didn’t burn hiet out of here quickly and get back to his home…
