Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1147. Why did you turn the wagon?

Count Omar of Larva entered meditation.

Elio and Fabian kept their mouths shut for a moment, not even breathing.

The skilled coachman drove the wagon without any hesitation.

Outside the wagon, only the regular sound of the wheels turning could be heard.

Elio thought he was lucky to have hired an experienced coachman.

If the coachman had been a fool, the Count would have woken up from his meditation long ago.

He knew that the Count had entered the Sword Master.

It was strange to see someone breaking through the limits right in front of me.

At that time, the carriage that had been turning the corner of the mountain like water flowing suddenly stopped.

The horses neighed sharply as the coachman must hastily pulled the reins.

The carriage shook violently with a rattling sound.

The impact sent Fabian’s upper body forward, but Elio and the Count did not even move.

Elio had immobilized the count with the empty water.

Fabian, who noticed it belatedly, pursed his lips.

‘Sheesh! If possible, please catch me too.’

Viscount Elio Lagoa’s voice echoed in his ears as he grumbled inwardly.

“Go out and check what’s going on.”

“yes.”

Fabian got off the carriage and lightly jumped to the side of the driver’s seat.

The coachman pointed to the front with a frightened face and said.

“The Baron had a fight.”

“I see.”

Fabian shook his head.

The coachman with decades of experience was astounding.

Thirty meters in front, dozens of knights and hundreds of soldiers were fighting fiercely.

It was too large to be called a fight.

‘Did the Battle of Yeongji take place?’

If you look at the different flags held by the riders on both sides, it’s just a Yeongji battle.

However, the number is subtly small to be called Yeongjijeon.

Fabian shouted at the carriage.

“Viscount! There seems to be a fight!”

At Fabian’s cry, the knights who were fighting in front glanced back at the carriage.

However, the knights on both sides did not hostile to the carriage, perhaps thinking that they were passing travelers.

When Elio showed no sign of moving the carriage, he opened the door and went outside.

“Wow! What happened?”

An exclamation escaped Elio’s lips.

I didn’t expect to see bloodshed like this in an empire that was so peaceful.

He threw himself over the roof of the carriage to get a closer look.

Fabian said as Elio sat down on the roof.

“It seems that the Battle of Yeongji took place.”

“Isn’t that a small number for something like that?”

Elio tilted his head.

It was because he did not understand that it was a battle against the territory with less than one company.

“That’s true, but… it could be a fight between scouts.”

“Which one do you think will win?”

“Don’t you think the Black Eagle Flag will win?”

“I bet 4 coppers on the Golden Shield Banner.”

“It’s not 4 silver, what is 4 copper? secondly.”

It’s time for the two of them to quarrel over the amount of the bet.

After meditating, Count Larva Omar climbed onto the roof of the carriage.

“thank you. Lord Lagoa.”

“From now on, meditate in a safe place. Then you can really hook up.”

“Yes, it was because Lord Lagoa was present today.”

That’s true.

Count Larva Omar knew that the small heavenly circuit (小周天) is a method of meditation with clear advantages and disadvantages.

The ‘Little Sky Circuit’ makes mana easy to control, but was vulnerable to external attacks while meditating.

“By the way, congratulations on becoming a sword master.”

“thank you. All thanks to Lord Lagoa’s guidance.”

Fabian, who was listening from the front, asked with a surprised face.

“Have you really become a sword master, Count?”

“Yes.”

“Congratulations. Would you be comfortable going back to the north now?”

Now that Count Omar of Larva had become a sword master, Count Nebla Aximus would no longer think of getting rid of him.

Count Larva Omar only smiled.

That’s what a fight is.

At the time, I thought that was justice and I had to do it, so I risked my life, but looking back now, it’s just futile.

A strange feeling of relief appeared on the driver’s face, who was listening from the driver’s seat.

He was surprised to see the battle, but quickly calmed down at the sound of the sword master.

Maybe 30 minutes passed?

The clash between the two units ended with the Black Eagle flag fleeing.

Elio and his party waited for the Golden Shield Banner troops to open the way.

But what is this?

The troops of the Golden Shield Banner blocked the open road with wooden fences.

As if that wasn’t enough, they even started erecting geomachang (拒馬槍) with sharpened ends of logs.

It means that no matter who sees it, it will block the road.

Knights approached Elio and his party, who were watching blankly.

His eyes were full of life, perhaps because of the bloody fight he had just had.

Soon after, one of the knights stepped forward.

“I am Viscount Fides Martello of the Countess of Escudo. Who are you?”

Fabian stood up from the driver’s seat and introduced the party in a calm tone.

“The one on the left is Count Larva Omar, lord of Northern Athionias, and next to him is Viscount Elio Lagoa, lord of Slash Land. I am Baron Fabian Cloud, a knight of Viscount Lagoa. We are traveling to the Duchy of Lorraine. I would appreciate it if you could clear the way for me to pass.”

Viscount Fides Martello looked at the nobles of the north with puzzled eyes.

I tried to press it with a title, but I can’t do that if I have a count.

This is because it is a time of peace between the Empire and the Kingdom, so the title of the other party must be respected to some extent.

“Do you have anything to prove your identity?”

Fabian took out his title certificate and handed it to Viscount Fides Martello.

After checking the title certificate, Viscount Fides Martello’s gaze turned to Viscount Elio Lagoa this time.

“Isn’t there one?”

Elio rummaged through his bosom, took out the viscount title certificate and handed it over.

Viscount Fides Martello, who was examining the certificate, glanced at Viscount Elio Lagoa.

I thought I was inherited because I was young, but I was given a bongjak?

‘They said the situation in the north wasn’t good, so they must have played a part in it.’

He said as he returned the certificate to Viscount Elio Lagoa.

“Your identity has been verified. However, Count Escudo ordered us to block the road… so I have no choice but to obey that order. Go back to another territory or get permission from Count Escudo.”

“Go back to another territory? We are new to the road, so we don’t know the other way. It looks like you’re just blocking the road, so please take care of the situation.”

However, Viscount Fides Martello shook his head apologetically.

“I understand the circumstances, but I can’t let a single ant hatch through without the Count’s permission.”

“Are you in the middle of the Yeongji War?”

“It’s similar.”

“Is there anything to fight in the same empire?”

It was a rude question, but Viscount Fides Martello did not blame the young Viscount.

He had to endure a little because he had to get the count’s permission to go back.

“Yes.”

“What is it? Why are people from the same empire risking their lives fighting?”

Viscount Fides Martello frowned.

“Don’t try to find out about the circumstances of other territories. There must be an academy in the Northern Kingdom too, haven’t you learned the basics?”

“Ah, because I am from a savage. I didn’t go to the academy.”

“What kind of merit does a wild man have to make in order to receive the title of Viscount?”

Being from a barbarian, Viscount Fides Martello’s words shortened at once.

At that moment, Count Larva Omar raised a speculation and shouted.

“Don’t be rude to Lord Lagoa!”

Viscount Fides Martello and the knights’ faces turned white from the sword master’s fighting spirit.

Viscount Fides Martello hurriedly lowered his head as he choked.

“Excuse me.”

Only then did the Count withdraw his speculation.

“Clear obstacles and barriers.”

However, Viscount Fides Martello did not give up on that point either.

“That’s difficult until you get Count Escudo’s permission.”

Elio is a man who cannot hold back his curiosity.

“Why are nobles of the same empire fighting while blocking the road? I know some.”

But Viscount Fides Martello did not answer the question.

“why! why! why! Fighting even while blocking the road! Let’s hear the reason clearly!”

Opinions to open the way, get permission, and tell the reason for the fight were fiercely opposed.

Fabian, who couldn’t see it, intervened.

“There is no great reason for the Viscount’s estate. You fight when one side has hurt face or wants something to take away from you.”

“really?”

“Yes, the Count will know.”

Fabian passed the ball to Count Omar of Larva.

This is because Count Larva Omar, a high nobleman, is more accurate than himself, a lower nobleman.

Count Larva Omar nodded.

“you’re right. Pride and greed can be said to be the essence of Yeongjijeon.”

“That makes me want to know more. Tell me what Viscount Fides is talking about. Why did you fight like that? Quite a few people seem to have died.”

Viscount Fides Martello looked at Viscount Elio Lagoa with displeasure.

‘Is it because he’s a savage?’

I told you not to tell me about the circumstances of someone else’s territory, but I don’t know why you’re so nasty.

Until the end, Viscount Fides Martello did not tell us why.

Elio, who was glaring at him like that, pulled up his spittle and said, ‘Ton!’ and exhaled.

“dirty! dirty! Uncle coachman! Turn the wagon! I think there is no way other than here! Did you say Count Escudo? Let’s see how well he eats and lives! no way! Twin nobles!”

The coachman, who noticed, quickly turned the wagon.

One of the knights who watched the carriage going away said cautiously.

“Viscount, are you going to let those rude people go?”

“It is too much for us. Tell the Count what they said without leaving out anyone.”

“yes!”

After a while, a knight rushed toward Count Escudo.

***

Elio and Fabian, Count Omar of Larva, moved back into the carriage.

Elio looked out the window as if he was very angry and muttered nonstop.

Count Larva Omar, who was worse off, asked.

“You were so angry, why did you turn the carriage around? I thought that Lord Lagoa would just push through the spear and the wooden fence.”

“That’s because I’m not a spoiled person. I am also a person who knows the rules and norms.”

Although Elio was from the green forest, he lived by keeping what he had to protect.

Or, perhaps, because he was from Green Forest, he tried to follow the norms more.

In addition, if you do things arbitrarily, it is comfortable right now, but the consequences are not easy.

Knowing that, it was to bring up morality and norms.

Fabian, who was still reeling from a near-death situation, said a word.

“But in the end, you do it according to your nature, right?”

“You give the other person a chance to choose between good fortune and disaster. It’s entirely his choice, so it’s not my fault.”

“It sounds like the Viscount is going round to make himself comfortable. isn’t it? Count?”

Fabian, who became slightly uneasy, secretly attracted Count Larva Omar.

“well. I think Lord Lagoa’s method is fine too. Maybe that’s just leaving it up to Heaven’s will.”
