The warden who guards the witches

Same name?

This was Heinz's first thought. He had heard of this name. He was a well-known heretic inquisitor in the autonomous state. He was young and promising. He was promoted to a senior inquisitor in the Heretic Inquisition of Silver City before he was 20 years old. He had arrested an S-level wanted criminal on his own.

But the information showed that this "Aiden Garrod" was the warden of the Rose Iron Prison five years ago.

Heinz glanced at the photo attached to the information and was immediately sure that it was the same person.

There were two photos attached to the information. One was a report photo cut from an old newspaper. The content of the photo was a commendation meeting. Senior Heretic Inquisitor Aiden Garrod was wearing a uniform and receiving a medal.

The other was a photo of Aiden Garrod secretly taken through the window of a high floor of the house. Because of the distance and angle, the photo was very blurry. The spy who caught this photo obviously realized that tracking and secretly taking photos too close might be noticed by a former Heretic Inquisitor. However, the photo can still barely make out the target's facial features - at least it can be seen that it is the same person as the one in the clipping above.

An ace Inquisitor who has been rapidly approaching the peak of his profession within three years of joining the company, suddenly transferred to become a prison guard?

This made Heinz feel something was wrong.

He continued to read on. His subordinates' initial thoughts were obviously the same as his, so during the period after Sera was imprisoned, they investigated and sorted out the intelligence of the former Inquisitor as much as possible, and generally speaking, the work was done in a relatively detailed manner.

The nearly three years that this former Inquisitor served in the Inquisition Bureau were basically the same as what Heinz had heard. He began to stand out soon after joining the Inquisition Bureau. He was promoted to Senior Inquisitor after more than a year of joining the company. During his tenure, he arrested one S-level wanted criminal and five A-level wanted criminals alone, participated in the team to arrest two S-level wanted criminals and nine A-level wanted criminals, and also commanded the encirclement and suppression of a cult group on the purge list.

There is nothing strange about this. Among the group combatants, whether they are soldiers, mercenaries or other armed personnel, there are always some individuals who are born different from others. With the same level of training, some people can quickly become sharpshooters, while some people are sitting ducks on the battlefield.

Heinz has seen this level of genius in the military and police circles of Gistas and the Empire. In comparison, this Aiden Garrod is not too outrageous.

After entering the Rose Iron Prison, Aiden Garrod successively put forward many constructive initiatives, greatly improving the management level of the prison. At the same time, his position was quickly promoted, and he soon took over the position of the originally vacant warden. After taking office, he carried out more drastic reforms on the entire prison and achieved quite outstanding results, making the Rose Iron Prison, which had been in trouble every year, become an advanced unit within the system.

In the three years since he took office, he has solved many incidents in the prison every year. This year, his activity has reached its peak, and the things he has solved have increasingly involved things outside the prison. He has even cooperated with the Inquisition several times again, and there is a vague trend of returning to his old business.

His subordinates have found out that there are four major incidents that occurred this year. The first two mainly involved the prison. The first was an unjust case, and the second was a riot that was quickly suppressed. Then the remaining two were two wanted criminals he captured.

The first one was a cultist vampire who was sentenced to death and is still waiting for execution; the second one was the famous Coral Sea Pirate King Neville Drake, who was captured while breaking into the Rose Iron Prison.

In addition to these four incidents, there is another incident marked as doubtful - a few months ago, a cult group suspected of being the Mother Goddess of Plenty was wiped out by the Inquisition of Silver City.

The mark of doubtful means that the spies suspected that Aiden Garrod was involved in this incident, but they did not find definite evidence.

However, it was this incident with a questionable relevance to Aiden Garrod that completely attracted Heinz's attention, and his subordinates also specially marked out the information related to this incident.

The Royal Secret Police also has a rich intelligence network abroad, but not all intelligence will be dug up.

For foreign countries, they mainly focus on those forces that may threaten the kingdom.

So they don't know much about the Blood Moon Cult, which has a large number of vampires involved, and the intelligence of the Imperial Pirates, but the Plenty Mother Cult, nicknamed "Black Goat", is their "old friend".

The Plenty Mother Cult originated from the royal family of the old Reiser Kingdom, which had once perished. After the fall of the old Reiser Kingdom, it was divided by the Dragon Spine Empire and the Gistas Kingdom. For the Plenty Mother Cult, who is determined to restore the country, the Gistas Kingdom is the second biggest obstacle on their road to restoration.

From the perspective of Gistas, the Plenty Mother Cult is a major hidden danger threatening the country's territorial integrity. For a long time, the Mother Goddess of Plenty has been on the list of the Gistas Inquisition to be purged. The Royal Secret Police's Royal Military Police and its predecessor, the King's Guard, have never taken their eyes off this cult in the past hundred years.

Simply put, in Gistas, the Inquisition has always been responsible for eradicating this evil cult, while the Royal Secret Police have also been continuously seeking information about the cult, always ready to contribute to the elimination of the kingdom's enemies.

The previous actions of the Silver City Inquisition in Beifeng Town were not public, but the Royal Secret Police still found out that the evil cult group that was eradicated there was most likely the Mother Goddess of Plenty.

The Royal Secret Police also knew that the Mother Goddess Cult, like the royal family of the old Reise Kingdom, possessed the secret art of life alchemy that could transform humans into synthetic beasts and mass-produce alchemical androids.

But only Heinz knew that the secret art mastered by the Mother Goddess Cult was probably the same as the secret art mastered by the Hoffman family, which was recorded in ancient books as "the great power that belongs to the gods and cannot be inherited by those who are not qualified."

Heinz did not believe that the Heresy Inquisition of the City of Silver had the ability to wipe out the Mother Goddess Cult, which neither the Empire nor the Kingdom of Gistas could eradicate, but the fact was that after this incident, the Mother Goddess Cult stopped its activities.

A few days ago, the Royal Secret Police discovered that the forces of the Mother Goddess of Plenty in Gistas were being defeated one by one. The Inquisition and the Royal Secret Police had investigated the matter carefully and finally determined that it was not an official agency of any country that did this, but most likely a master who was proficient in black magic, and the biggest suspect was the S-level wanted criminal, the great witch Habinis.

Earlier, the Mother Goddess of Plenty attacked the Demon Feast Forest, the base of the Witch Gathering.

If both assumptions are true, it means that the Inquisition of the City of Silver and the Witch Gathering, two organizations that are almost impossible to cooperate, simultaneously cleared out the Mother Goddess of Plenty.

Is it just because the Mother Goddess of Plenty provoked both parties at the same time?

Or... someone is playing the role of a middleman?
