Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1236. It’s not like we swore allegiance.

Transport manager Berts Willard ran toward the wagon Elio and his party rode.

Knowing that there are adventurers in this wagon, he came to ask for cooperation.

In the current situation, adventurers are very helpful to the guards.

“Adventurer! please help! The highwaymen are outnumbered and the guards alone can’t do it! Everyone will die if we don’t help in time!”

Baron Howard Solon and Crea Tynelock spurned their seats at Burts Willord’s screams.

If the guards died, the adventurers would be in danger, so it was better to join forces from the beginning.

After getting off the wagon, Baron Howard Solon glanced back at Elio and the others, then rushed forward.

Crea and Tynlock quickly caught up on his left and right.

Seeing them run without thinking, Fabian stuck out his tongue.

“wow! awesome. I thought you were a person full of bravado, but when you do, do you?”

Elio shook his head as if he agreed.

“That’s the charm.”

Then Count Larva Omar spoke.

“But don’t you think it’s a little strange?”

“What?”

“Because I heard the sound of a magic gun.”

“Why is that?”

“Magic guns are produced at the Magic Tower, but they are only sold to kings and lords. So, unless you are a member of the regular army or knights, you can’t even take a look.”

“ah! is it so?”

When Elio made a surprised face, Fabian also added a few words.

“There are exceptions. Mercenaries who participated in the Battle of the Territory sometimes take them as trophies. But that’s only possible with really good mercenaries, and it’s usually replaced with additional money. Although magic guns are expensive, they are not easily obtainable.”

“You mean robbers have magic guns like that?”

“Yes, it doesn’t seem like they were targeting us… There might be someone important among the passengers…”

“There could be something great in the wagon. Which one would you like?”

“I don’t know which side, but if we don’t get out soon, the guards will all die.”

At Fabian’s words, Elio poked his head out the window and surveyed the situation.

indeed! Just like Fabian said, the robbers were fiercely pushing the guards and Baron Solon’s party.

However, the robbers were very different from Nokrim.

The armed status of the robbers engaged in close combat at the forefront was similar to that of the Hirhera garrison.

An armed force comparable to that of a great nobleman’s territory!

And that’s not all.

On both sides of the gorge, the sound of magic gun firing was heard non-stop.

Fortunately, it seemed that they were hiding and firing, one by one, in the canyons on the left and right, not the musketeers.

If it had been a magic gun of the musketry unit level, the guards would have died without being able to avoid it.

Baron Solon and his party couldn’t join the guards because of the magic gun fired from the top of the canyon.

At this rate, it was only a matter of time before the guards were massacred.

Finally, Elio got up.

“I will take over the magic gun. Two people tidy up. don’t kill I need to know at least why someone is impersonating a robber.”

“All right.”

“ancient!”

Soon after, Elio’s party got off the wagon and quickly ran towards the target.

Hiding behind a rock, Baron Howard Solon pouted his head and looked ahead.

But before he could see anything, ‘Fuck!’ and the edge of the rock burst open.

Baron Howard Solon, who learned that the magic gun shooter was aiming at him, fell flat on the ground.

I’d never seen a magic gun up close, but I didn’t know bullets could be so terrifying.

‘Wedge juice!’ The sound that cut through the air was nothing compared to an arrow.

It was true that even sword experts were afraid of magic gun shooters.

If you hit it right, you could die in one hit.

‘shit! That gunner wouldn’t even be a mana user, but I’m a sword beginner and I’m like this.’

I don’t think there’s anything in this world that’s unfair.

Whoever it is, he must be a commoner.

On the other hand, he, who had trained swordsmanship all his life, had to crawl on such a cold floor even though he was a sword beginner.

He gritted his teeth, but that did not change the reality.

As he was rolling his head, he heard Crea’s cry in his ears.

“be careful! They’re after the baron!”

“know! Watch out too!”

“What? When the guards fall, we will be next!”

“What about the other adventurers in the wagon? Why are you still not coming out?”

“uh? It’s coming out now! Baron! Run forward when the gunners aim at them! If you mix with the enemies, even the gunners won’t be able to shoot! Now!”

Crea ran forward before Baron Howard Solon could say anything.

As she ran out, Baron Howard Solon and Tynelock ran to the guards as well.

Soon after, Baron Howard Solon’s party, joined by the guards, hit the center without a chance to breathe.

The robbers, who had been dealing with the guards leisurely, took a step back.

The original number of robbers was twenty-two.

With twelve guards, it was almost twice as strong.

However, with only three people joining the guard side, he hesitated and retreated.

That’s why the swordsmanship of the three joined was so excellent.

In the case of Tine Lock, a splendid aura emanated from the sword.

It is the symbol of a sword expert, but it is weaker than mana because it is made of aura.

But the robbers couldn’t figure it out.

They assumed that Tinelock was a sword expert, and that alone weakened their fighting spirit.

If there was a person more rampant than Tynelock, he was Howard Solon.

Surprisingly, as a sword beginner, he was a magic swordsman.

In the case of a magic swordsman, it is difficult to master, and in the beginning, it chews up similar sword beginners.

Even if you cast a 1-circle weight magic that lightens the weight on yourself, the effect is enormous.

Longswords are heavy and slow in movement.

However, Howard Solon, who cast a weight spell on himself, swung his longsword like a branch.

Even a quick swing of the longsword scared away the robbers.

Crea also used a swordsmanship that was quite desperate for a mercenary.

The robbers were knocked down one by one by the excellent swordsmanship of the three.

Five fell in the blink of an eye, and the twelve robbers fled without looking back.

Transport Director Berts Willard approached Baron Howard Solon and bowed his head.

“thank you! I live thanks to you! If it’s not rude, what’s your name?”

“Baron Howard Solon.”

“omg! Are you Baron Howard Solon? It’s an honor to meet you! I’m Berts Willard, Director of Transportation. Just call me Butts.”

“Okay. Mr. Butts, let’s start by tidying up the area. And if there are live robbers, bring them with you. I have something to ask you.”

“yes! All right!”

The transport manager gathered the fallen robbers together with the guards.

Fabian, who was standing between the carriage and the guards with a puzzled face, murmured.

“Is this over with no time to do anything about it?”

“Isn’t that a good thing? By the way, are you hurt anywhere?”

“Yes, I am fine. Lord Lagoa didn’t give the enemy a chance to shoot twice.”

“You were lucky. You still have to be careful of magic bullets.”

A bitter smile appeared on Fabian’s face.

It was because he was the target of the gunners because he ran in the lead.

It’s not like I’m trying to hit the ball.

It was unimaginable for him, who had lived in Yeongji County for a long time, to put a sword master first.

“I will be careful.”

Just then, Elio returned with a gunner on his shoulder.

There are two places where the magic gun was shot, but one person?

Fabian tilted his head and asked.

“Did you kill another guy?”

“No, when he saw me catching him, he ran away. It bothered me so I sent it. Because if you catch one, you can find out all of them.”

“Did you ask?”

“Are you a mercenary hired by the Marquis of Solon?”

“Yes? Are you the Marquis of Solon?”

“uh. The magic gun was also lent to me by the Marquis of Solon.”

“As for Marquis Solon, isn’t that Baron Solon’s family over there?”

Fabian pointed with his finger at Baron Solon’s party with the guards.

“that’s right.”

“Why in the Marquis of Solon? Was the wagon looking for something?”

“It is not a burden.”

“her!”

A sigh escaped from Fabian’s mouth.

With a clear understanding of the physiology of the aristocratic family, he immediately recognized the situation Baron Solon was facing.

Elio looked at the place where Baron Solon was and said.

“You’re trying to kill someone like Iza Crow, even though it’s not yours… What are you doing?”

“Sometimes this happens to ensure the succession of the eldest son’s title. It’s not uncommon for the first one to lack the ability to have to kill his younger brother… I’m sorry.”

At the end of our conversation, the transport manager, Berts Willod, came quickly.

Elio handed over the mercenary before the transport manager could say anything.

“He was the one who shot the magic gun from above. Take me with you.”

“As expected. But how did you catch the man on the cliff?”

Burts Willard looked at the young adventurer with a surprised face.

Catch the culprit when it’s too late to go up?

Considering that these people were no less talented than Baron Solon, he noticed them for no reason.

Elio didn’t answer his question and turned around and went into the wagon.

Count Omar of Larva and Fabian also followed him.

After a while, after investigating the robbers, Baron Howard Solon’s party returned to the carriage.

The usually cheerful Baron Howard Solon’s expression was dark despite his achievements.

Her companion, Crea, was the same, but in the case of Tynlock, her face was completely chewed up.

Just before boarding the carriage, Baron Howard Solon took Tynelock and moved a little further away.

Before long, Howard Solon, who had been hesitant, opened his mouth with a complicated face.

“How long have we been together?”

“Ten years.”

“It already happened. I remember meeting you for the first time on the day I finished my coming-of-age ceremony.”

“That’s right. That day, I was appointed as the baron’s escort knight.”

“I won’t go round and round about it. Thank you for all this time. Your goal is to be Bongjak, right?”

“That’s right.”

“As you can see today, there is no place for me in the marquis family. There is nothing I can do for you in the future. So now I’m going to let you go.”

“Are you telling me to leave the baron?”

“Isn’t it a relationship in which we swore allegiance?”

“…”

Tinelock was silent.

As he said, he did not serve the knight’s oath, but merely obeyed the orders of his superiors.

“I will probably live my life as an adventurer. I don’t think the Marquis family will support me anymore. You might be in a hurry to make a living from day to day, let alone be small. A rich life is also until today.”

“Well sir. Give me time to think.”

Tinelock wanted to leave right away, but then I thought it would be too cold, so I left room.

I asked for time, but honestly, I was going to leave even if he did.

“Okay. Let me know when you’ve made up your mind. I’ll make sure to take care of the farewell money.”

After that, Baron Howard Solon left.

Tine-Lok, who was standing there with a grave face, said ‘Pick!’ I laughed and went back to the carriage.
