Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1235. do you want to come out? Are you telling me not to?

Six-seater wagons are divided into seats, but they are basically one space.

You can naturally hear conversations in first class in third class.

Fabian murmured at the bold words of the young aristocrat called Baron Solon.

“He’s a real man.”

“Why are you jealous?”

“I cannot say no. Sir Lagoa, isn’t it?”

“Are you jealous of the chartered carriage? Are you envious of beauty?”

“It’s a chartered carriage.”

“Put saliva on your lips and say something like that.”

“Why do you ask me to spit on my lips in winter?”

“In my hometown, you say that to people who lie. I don’t know why.”

“Ah… you mean it’s okay to lie and spit on? You must have grown up in a pretty rough place, right?”

Elio glanced back at Fabian.

It’s a word I always use, but it’s surprising that you can take it like that.

“Tough? This place is no more, no less than my hometown.”

“Is that so? It is difficult to live anywhere.”

The two of them looked out the window and lost themselves in their own thoughts.

It’s winter, but the further south you go, the warmer the weather becomes.

After about 15 days, the temperature rose to such an extent that it was difficult to find snow on the roads.

The further south you go, the more villages there are, so it was easy to travel by stagecoach.

Since the village is only an hour’s drive away, there was no need to advance or delay the meal time.

There was no such thing as homelessness or even snacking on a casual meal on the road.

***

Duchy of Crowley.

Shine Hall Pioneer Village.

Facing the red-hot sunset, five wagons entered the village entrance.

It belongs to the Empire, but unlike other places, wooden fences were surrounding the village.

The clothes and weapons of the people guarding the entrance to the fence were all different.

Seeing that, Elio muttered to himself.

“Looks like this is a place where there are no gnomes.”

“It will be a pioneer village.”

“A pioneering village?”

“The lord does not send soldiers to unexplored lands. When people flock to such a place and settle down, it is called a pioneering village.”

“Then are these people vigilantes?”

“I will.”

Elio knew what that meant and nodded.

So, in terms of Gangho, it would be like a slash-and-burn village.

“Still, it’s quite busy for a pioneering village, right?”

There were so many decent buildings in the village that I felt sorry for comparing it to the village of slash-and-burn farmers.

“Iknow, right. At this size, the lord will soon send an army to take over the village.”

“Are you good? Is it bad?”

“It will be half and half. It will be painful to have to pay taxes that you have not paid until now, but the lord’s army will protect the village from bandits and beasts.”

“The villagers will hate it. They must have come all this way because they didn’t have money to pay taxes.”

“But at this size, there will be money to pay taxes.”

“Not everyone is rich. What about people who don’t have money to pay taxes?”

“I have to go to an unexplored place again.”

“Wow, that’s cruel.”

“That’s how we develop metallurgy and metallurgy territory. There are so many people, can’t we just let it be lawless?”

“The vigilantes protect it on their own, so what’s wrong with lawlessness?”

“There are only a handful of vigilantes. With that number, even a single mercenary can’t stop it. Those who have money to pay taxes will want the lord’s army to come.”

“her.”

Elio didn’t object anymore.

It is because there will be people who want to live stably even in the pioneer village.

There were five wagons, but three of them were pack wagons, carrying only twelve passengers.

As soon as the twelve passengers entered the tavern, they scattered and took their seats.

In the corner of the tavern, the man and the woman sat facing each other.

Baron Howard Solon and his companions, and a large giant of the second class.

Baron Howard Solon asked the escort knight, Tynelock, insinuatingly.

“So what are they doing?”

“I’ve tried a full name, but they say I’m an adventurer.”

“Are you from a mercenary?”

“Rather than that, if you look at his way of talking or his clothes, he looks like he came from a free knight.”

“I’m glad.”

Then, the beautiful woman who accompanied her, Crea, pursed her lips and asked.

“What are you happy about? Because you’re not a mercenary? I’m a mercenary too, right?”

“So you believe in mercenaries?”

When Baron Howard Solon asked, Crea quietly turned her head.

The difference between a mercenary and a criminal is literally a piece of paper.

When she objected, Baron Howard Solon turned back to Tynelock.

“How did your swordsmanship look like?”

“If you look at it, it seems that you are better than me.”

Tinelock answered honestly without adding or subtracting.

“It’s too bad. If it weren’t for the adventurers, I would have reaped it…”

Adventurers hate being tied down, so it wasn’t difficult to make a contract with them.

Crea, who was watching the adventurers, whispered.

“Are they going to the Great Forest too?”

“I don’t know.”

“Otherwise, why would you go south in this war? These days, the imperial family is encouraging adventurers to go to the Great Forest. They say that only adventurers can go outside the borders of the Empire right now.”

Since the war was triggered by the treasure of the Abyss, the Empire was frantic about sending adventurers to the Great Forest.

Even the stagecoach’s access to the southern kingdom has become more difficult, while adventurers skip checkpoints.

Baron Howard Solon nodded reluctantly.

If they were really adventurers, the final destination would most likely be the Abyss.

“so? What do you want to say?”

“I was wondering if we could go together if we had the same destination.”

Baron Howard Solon didn’t respond, but he was clearly uneasy.

He was displeased with three other men intervening between himself and Crea.

“Okay. If you have a lot of heads, you’ll get the attention of the southern kingdom and you’ll get tired.”

“Wouldn’t being tired be better than a violent death? No one knows if the adventurers who entered the southern kingdom are alive or dead.”

“Do you think you’re going to kill imperial adventurers in the southern kingdom?”

“What can’t people do in the yard where the war broke out with the empire with the treasure of the Abyss?”

“You’re going to the Great Forest even though you know that?”

“I am an adventurer too. With a strong helper like the baron, what should I be afraid of?”

“What if I refuse to join them? Will you leave me and go to them?”

“It can’t be. Where else can you find a more capable helper than Baron Solon, the genius knight of the Principality of Toplar?”

“Then don’t talk about it any more. Because right now is perfect for me.”

“Am I not good? Whoops! Don’t be serious. just joke. I know my subject well.”

Crea quickly raised her beer glass and took a sip.

Baron Howard Solon is the second son of Marquis Solon, a great aristocrat with a long history of the Principality of Tofla.

Far from succession to the title, he obtained the title of baron on his own and wandered around the empire as a free knight for the peace of his family.

In the meantime, he met Crea, a mercenary, in the Principality of Fatima and went with him.

The escort knight, Tynelock, was a knight who had been escorting him for a long time in the count’s family.

Tinelock just ate the stew in silence.

Both Baron Solon and Crea had a point.

It’s safe in numbers, but it’s not good to attract the attention of the southern kingdoms.

‘Now is the perfect time…’

I don’t know.

In the first place, it was for the sake of success that he became a knight of the Marquis of Solon after going through fierce competition.

It was my goal in life to win a title for achievement, but now I’m quite far from it.

When I was appointed as Baron Solon’s escort, I knew that my career path was blocked.

The way forward for a knight is open to the legitimate successor, that is, the eldest son.

This is because even if you are an ordinary nobleman’s escort knight, you cannot exceed the title of the nobleman you serve.

‘It’s probably because I’m from a savage.’

The great nobility learned too late that even when selecting escort knights, origin and lineage were taken into account.

Now, the only way for him to succeed is for Baron Solon to rise above the ball.

But since Baron Solon became an adventurer and was flirting with a woman

…

That was his concern these days.

The tavern was crowded with customers, but Elio and his party were all mana users, so their ears were bright.

Fabian, who happened to overhear Baron Solon’s party, laughed.

“Who are you laughing at? Is it because life is depressing and enjoyable?”

“I am not crazy. First class Baron Solon and his party.”

“Why are they?”

“It sounds like you are talking about adventurers.”

“Did you overhear someone else?”

“How can you not hear something that comes to your ears spontaneously rather than overheard?”

“If you heard it, you should let it go. Do you think Sir Omar doesn’t hear because he has no ears?”

“I’m still at a low level, so it’s hard to let go.”

“It’s not a matter of state, it’s because of useless curiosity. If you have any questions, ask them fair and square. Why do you keep eavesdropping?”

“Oh really. Because it’s not eavesdropping. I am not that bad.”

“Do it. Adventurers, so what?”

“It looks like they are going to the Great Forest too.”

“How is that? A two-legged beast can’t go anywhere. tell them to go.”

Elio didn’t care.

What does it matter whether people you don’t know go to the Great Forest?

“The woman wants to go with us, but the baron is against it.”

“I guess I instinctively noticed that you were revealing a woman.”

“Don’t you think you’ll run into that baron’s group more often in the future?”

“Yes or no.”

Elio didn’t want to listen at all.

Even if I begged him to go with me, I was wondering if he would listen or not, but I’m just grateful that he didn’t want to.

At that time, Count Larva Omar said something in passing.

“The man sitting next to me. He is a spiritual practitioner. It seems to be of savage origin.”

“A big man?”

Elio was interested.

It wasn’t because he was a ‘savage’, but because he was a ‘reiki practitioner’ like himself that he became interested.

This is because that man is the first spiritual practitioner I met after coming to this world.

“Yes, I got a feeling when I released my energy a little while ago. I think it was to raise my level… It resembled Lord Lagoa’s energy.”

“You mean that person released his energy in an attempt to reach the level of Lord Omar? He is a bold man.”

Discharging energy while the body is in contact!

It was a difficult act to do before one had confidence in one’s powerlessness.

“I didn’t feel any malice, so I pretended not to know and closed my eyes.”

“I guess that happened.”

Fabian, who had been depressed for an instant, revived.

“It wasn’t just me. It seems that the other side was also curious about who we were.”

However, Elio and Count Omar of Larva no longer mentioned Baron Solon’s party.

As the conversation faded, Fabian eventually turned the topic to something else.

the next morning.

The wagons of the Stagecoach Transport Association, which left the pioneer village, entered the Dolos Corridor.

Did it run like that for thirty minutes?

Suddenly ‘Boom! pop-!’ The sound of magic bullets rang out, and the carriage that was running in the lead stopped.

The guards running in the lead shouted as they hurriedly returned to their wagons.

“It’s an assault!”

“Don’t get out of the carriage!”

“There are many enemies! Those who can fight, please come out and help the guards!”

At the shouts of the guards, Fabian muttered while scratching his head.

“Are you asking me to come out or not?”
