Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1157. Heading east at a bad time.

Shootaaaaaaaa!

Bump-!

The sudden downpour showed no signs of stopping even after a while.

Elio, who was looking out the dark window even in broad daylight, muttered to himself.

“Isn’t this rain going to stop soon?”

“Iknow, right.”

Fabian shook his head as if he agreed.

For passing rain, the sky cannot be so dark.

The three people in the carriage silently looked out the window and were lost in thought.

Elio, thinking of the stone sutra, suddenly asked Fabian.

“Where is your home, Fabian?”

“Anatolia.”

“Anatolia?”

“It is a city in the eastern part of the Marquis of Bernardo.”

“Are you in touch with the house?”

“Isn’t no news good news?”

Sounds like no contact.

At Fabian’s shameless reply, Elio shouted ‘Tsk tsk!’ and clicked his tongue.

“What about Sarah?”

“I send a letter every four or three days.”

“Why are you sending it to Sarah?”

“Because we are not a family yet.”

Elio nodded involuntarily at his clear answer.

I thought it was pathetic, but on the other hand, I understood.

Fabian quickly changed the subject, probably stung by what he said.

“Do you think of your family?”

“Is it because it’s raining? I want to see you more today.”

“The Viscount’s hometown.”

“Why?”

“Are there things like monsters and monsters there too?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“Then will you be less worried?”

“You want to be less? I saw that humans are more terrifying than monsters and demons.”

“It is like that again.”

Fabian did not insist and acknowledged it.

It was because there was no room for refutation when thinking of Hirhera’s black magician, Count Putocoa, Tabula, Magic Tower, and Count Escudo.

Count Larva Omar, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, interjected.

“Are there places where there are no demons and monsters?”

The Rodina continent was originally a land of monsters and monsters.

In ancient times, monsters and monsters moved en masse to Tameion, but the unexplored lands were still teeming with monsters and monsters.

The deep mountains inhabited by savages are no exception.

No, the deeper the mountain where humans couldn’t reach, the more monsters and demons there were.

However, I was puzzled that there were no demons and monsters.

“yes. There is such a place.”

Seeing Viscount Elio Lagoa’s expression looking somewhat lonely, Count Larva Omar said, ‘Oops!’ I wanted to

He remembered that his tribe had been annihilated by the Putokoa count family belatedly.

Count Larva Omar, who misunderstood ‘a place like that’ as ‘the world of the dead’, didn’t ask any more.

In the awkward silence, only the sound of rain was loud.

Shoot aaaaaaaaaaa!

Bump-!

Breaking through the heavy rain, occasionally shouting ‘Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr’ and a thunderclap rang out.

Whenever that happened, Fabian twitched his shoulders like a child.

Seeing him like that, Elio said with an absurd face.

“Are you afraid of Fabian’s lightning?”

“Of course it is scary.”

“Puhaha! Why are adults, not even children, afraid of lightning?”

“I am afraid because I am an adult. Because you know that lightning doesn’t fall because it covers people. If you’re unlucky, you’ll be hooked in one shot, but of course it’s scary.”

Elio’s eyes widened.

This is because it seems more plausible than the sound of ‘being next to a guilty person and being struck by lightning’.

“That thunderbolt magic of the Viscount who destroyed Count Escudo.”

“Why?”

“Other wizards use magic wands or wands… but the Viscount seems to be using paper.”

“What about the paper?”

“Won’t you use it on a rainy day like today?”

“You only know one, don’t you know the other two?”

“What do I not know?”

Then Elio got up, opened the carriage door, and went outside.

In the meantime, he took a look at the state of the coachman and the horses and returned to the carriage.

Despite walking around in the heavy rain, there was not a single drop of water on his body.

An exclamation flowed from Fabian’s mouth, who noticed it belatedly.

“ah! What technology is that?”

“It releases aura outside the body to block raindrops. Maybe it’s an aura shield? If you become a sword master, you can do it.”

At Viscount Elio Lagoa’s words, Fabian turned to Count Omar of Larva.

“Is that true?”

Count Larva Omar thought for a moment and nodded.

“I’ve never done it before… but with practice it seems possible.”

Then Elio said.

“Practice. I don’t know about magic bullets, but the mana shield will block arrows. It is also very helpful in managing mana.”

“Yes, I will.”

Count Larva Omar bowed his head in gratitude to Viscount Elio Lagoa.

Thinking that he was the only one falling behind, Fabian asked sneakily.

“Viscount, can’t you start a sword?”

“A mana shield?”

“yes.”

“There’s nothing I can’t do.”

“Is that true?”

Fabian reacted with displeasure.

But his joy was short-lived.

“But it won’t even show up. there will be no feeling Can’t even block the dust?”

“Hey, what kind of mana shield is that? That doesn’t work.”

“It’s not that it’s impossible, it’s that you just have to try, but the effect is insignificant.”

“Apart from the effect, is it useful for mana management?”

“It won’t help much. I don’t have the feeling of a mana shield… Who knows if I’m doing it right or not?”

“ah!”

A shotgun ceremony flowed from Fabian’s mouth.

‘Hey, I can’t feel the mana shield, but what kind of training is training…’

He glanced at Larva Count Omar with envious eyes.

At first, it was obviously just a water owner, but at some point, he was receiving the greatest benefits.

However, as a vassal of Viscount Elio Lagoa, he was still in place.

Elio looked at Fabian with a pouting mouth and spoke.

“Don’t be greedy. Isn’t there a saying ‘a journey of a thousand kilometers starts with one step’? To climb a high place, you have to climb from a low place [登高自卑]. Sword beginners should focus on the sword beginner’s training method.”

“yes.”

Fabian brushed off his envy.

He himself had learned many things from Viscount Elio Lagoa, so he had no reason to feel sick to his stomach.

The rain did not stop even after the sun went down.

As if a dam had broken, streams of water poured out non-stop.

Feeling stuffy inside the wagon, Elio and the others moved under the tree where Harvey was.

The stream of water that came down the hill ran through the forest like a ditch, but it didn’t penetrate to the lower part of the tree on a slightly higher elevation.

Harvey stooped as the nobles approached.

“I’m sorry. I should have made it all the way to the village… But the rain was too strong so stop…”

He meant it.

The raindrops were too thick and strong, so I avoided it for a while, but as the sun continued to fall, I regretted that I should have gone at least in the rain.

Then Elio waved his hand.

“no. It was raining so much that it was difficult to move anyway. There are times like this and times like that. Never mind.”

Fabian handed it over because he knew that Viscount Elio Lagoa was kind to his subordinates.

But Count Omar of Larva was different.

Viscount Elio Lagoa killed the wizard of the tower and killed hundreds of Count Escudo with thunderbolts for cursing beasts.

How could he be so kind to a mere coachman?

It was an incredible sight to see with my own eyes.

Ordinary nobles would kick or whip the coachman in such cases, but he thought and spoke on the driver’s side.

‘Which one is the real one?’

Earl of Larva Omar hoped that his current appearance would be as real as possible.

This is because when an absolute being like the Grand Master is cruel, the world is soaked in blood.

In the meantime, Elio ran under a large tree not far away and gestured to Fabian and others.

“Mr. Harvey! Fabian! Come on! Let’s pitch a tent here!”

After a while, when the Count and Fabian Harvey crossed over, Elio took out the tent from the Mahadam (space warehouse).

The four of them set up a tent under a tree branch thick like lightning.

Harvey dug a drainage ditch around the tent.

When the tent was completed, Elio pulled out cots and table chairs.

Harvey went out to look at the horses again, and the three of them sat down in their chairs.

I could see Harvey busily wandering through the doorway left open to see the condition of the horses.

Elio stretched out and said.

“Aww! I’m tired! Harvey is respected. You’re not even a mana user, aren’t you tired?”

Then Fabian laughed.

“Where did I hear that? The muscles of swordsmanship and the muscles that work are different. Mr. Harvey must be less tired than we are.”

“That’s what you call bullshit. I’m working hard for money. What’s less tiring? How much did you decide to give Mr. Harvey per day?”

“Two hundred coppers a day.”

“I’ll give you 100 copper.”

“Three hundred copper?”

“uh.”

“…yes.”

Fabian, who was about to oppose the impromptu wage increase, kept his mouth shut when he saw Harvey struggling in the rain.

Every day is not the same as today, but seeing people struggling right in front of my eyes, it is because my heart has disappeared.

By the next morning the rain had stopped.

The tent, soaked in the hot autumn sun, quickly dried up.

It is time for Elio and the others to prepare for departure after lunch.

Hundreds of knights on horses appeared on the road, looking like knights.

The rider was holding a large flag with the pattern of a noble family, but Elio and his party, who were northern nobles, did not know which family it belonged to.

Three of the knights marching in the lead turned their horses’ heads and approached Elio’s party.

One of them greeted Count Omar of Larva and said:

“I am Viscount Cairn Cadell of the Knights of Lampas in the Duchy of Pommernburg. Where are you knights from?”

Seeing the unusual eyes of the knights, Count Larva Omar took a step forward.

“I am Count Larva Omar of North Baylem.”

Viscount Cairn Cardell looked closely at the Count, but did not ask for a certificate.

“Are you all northern nobles?”

Then, this time, Fabian introduced on behalf of Count Larva Omar.

“This is Viscount Elio Lagoa, Lord of Slash Land in the North, and I am Baron Fabian Cloud, a knight of Slash Land.”

Only then did the light of vigilance disappear from Viscount Cairn Cardell’s eyes.

“Where is the destination of the Baron’s trip?”

“This is the Duchy of Lauren.”

“You’re going east at a bad time.”

Fabian asked sneakily at Viscount Cairn Cardell’s meaningful words.

“What’s going on?”

“There is a war in the South. The first expeditionary force is converging on the island. The procedure to enter the territory must have become more difficult than before.”

Viscount Cairn Cadel bowed to Count Larva Omar and then went back the way he had come.

Seeing the knights filling the road, Elio muttered involuntarily.

“Looks like a war broke out after all.”

Surprised by that, Count Larva Omar asked Viscount Helio Lagoa.

“Do you know why the war broke out?”

“A collective burial of steel golems was discovered in the Great Forest Abyss. When the southern kingdoms restricted access to the Great Forest to monopolize it, the Empire dispatched troops to confront it.”

“Huh! Did that happen while the North was closing the rift in Hirhera?”

“yes. The Corvo Magic Corps was stationed in Hirhera for a while, and then I heard from Duke Cillian Hale.”

“Then the reason must be clear.”

Fabian, who had been listening quietly, interrupted.

“Then, what will happen to Count Aethos?”
