Death... and me

Chapter 3161: Rifindio's Arrival

With the twins inside their Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm, no one could find a single trace of them. At some point, there was some information regarding the Lava Pristine

Salamanders, but it was ultimately discarded since it was a deal of Demon Beasts. The targets that the Inquisition Hall was looking for were from the humanoid races, so it didn't fit the bill. Besides, the Salamander didn't want to comment much about it since there seemed to be some embarrassing moments included in whatever happened there.

The Inquisition Hall continued its search, spreading the information everywhere they could. Too bad that they couldn't find a single clue, including Zangeshu or the group Rean received help from. Just like that, another two months went by.

The Inquisition Hall had a few major locations on the planet, the main one being the Inquisition Hall on the Dolei Continent, Riantan Country. This Inquisition Hall was their headquarters, and it was basically the only manmade construction in over a thousand kilometers on all sides. It was prohibited by the Inquisition Hall for any other power to approach their headquarters.

The buildings there were that big, though. The Inquisition Forging Hall was basically the only branch of the Inquisition Hall that dealt with many experts. All the others were reserved for the Inquisition Hall members alone, and the Inquisition Hall never had that many.

Their building expanded for just five or so kilometers, quite small if compared to any common city on Closal Planet, let alone big ones. Most of those who worked here were under the Soul Binding Contract effect, just like Karev's deceased brother. There were exceptions, though. The Inquisition Hall had three representatives from the Werdlem Empire itself, experts who came from outside the planet. They were basically the only ones who had complete free will.

It was late afternoon in the Inquisition Hall headquarters when a Spaceship appeared, entering the atmosphere. It wasn't anything big, and considering the position of the Inquisition Hall, some spaceships coming from outside once in a while were normal.

This one was different, though. It carried the emblem of the Supreme Palace, the same place where the legendary Triaglia lived, the Universe Owner. Outside, floating above the headquarters, the three higher elders waiting for the spaceship to come down with respectful expressions.

When the spaceship finally landed, those three elders came down to receive the representative of the Supreme Palace.

As one can imagine, the one who came out was none other than Rifindio, the discarded Camazotz Bat. He was followed by several subordinates... who were selected at the last moment to come with him. They weren't anything special, but since Rifindio wasn't anyone either, they were just perfect for the job. For them, just the fact that they could serve this Camazotz Bat for a time would already be great for their future.

"Master Rifindio, is that really okay that we were sent to this mortal planet?" One of them, a guy called Gluvin, asked Rifindio on the side. "This feels like a waste of time for a race like the Divine Camazotz Bat."

Rifindop glared at him. "Shut your mouth. This is a direct request from the Werdlem Empire Main Universe. Are you saying that the Werdlem Empire itself is wrong?"

Gluvin trembled all over. "Sorry, master Rifindio. This little one misspoke. There is no way the Werdlem Empire Main Universe would ever issue a meaningless task, especially one directly at the Supreme Palace of the Camazotz Bats."

"Still, are those three over there what we should expect to be our helpers?" Someone else asked, a female White Striped Silver Tiger by the name of Qarcisa. She checked the three elders' foundations with her Divine Sense, looking down on them. "No wonder they were sent to take care of a mortal planet. Terrible cultivation, loose foundation, old as fuck, and still in the Peak Stage of the Transition Realm. This is pretty much pure disrespect to your Divine Camazotz Race, Master Rifindio."

The woman didn't try to hide her words at all, which made those three leaders of the Closal Planet Inquisiton Hall find it hard to keep their smiles. Yet, it was true that they were sent to this planet exactly because there wasn't much expected from them.

'Hmph! She might say that, but isn't she here too?' They thought at the same time. Of course, they would never say that aloud. Their position compared to that female tiger wasn't even worth mentioning.

Rifindo could relate, though. Were those elders sent here to be discarded? That makes them pretty much the same as himself. It's just that these people around don't know the truth about the real reason for the Supreme Palace to send Rifindio to this planet. "Enough. They are also subordinates of the Werdlem Empire, and they will be our main backers during this investigation. I do not want to see any problems arising while I'm here. Do you all understand?"

"Yes, Master Rifindio." Rifindio's entourage answered in unison. They all wanted to curry favor from him.

Those three elders of the Inquisition Hall were surprised, though. They thought Rifindo, as a Camazotz Bat, would treat them even worse. It was still too early to tell. Still, Rifindio didn't seem to be that hard to work with.

One of those three elders came forward. "I'm Obsefio, the one in charge of the Inquisition Hall of Closal Planetm, the Head Inquisitor. Welcome, Master Rifindio. It is our fortune to receive the visit of a pure-blooded Camazotz Bat. These two by my side are the Vice Head Inquisitors who act in my instead when I'm not available, Poclidis and Xutrin."

Rifindio nodded at them. "I'm counting on you. Now, let's not waste each other's time. The faster we resolve this stolen ID issue, the faster we can leave this place. Tell me everything you know."

Obsefio nodded and began to recount the results of their investigations so far while they made their way back inside the Headquarters.
