Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1158. What kind of existence is Viscount Lagoa to you?

Elio grabbed the back of his neck at the embarrassing question.

If war broke out in the South, it would be difficult for the Corvo Magic Corps to get out of the South as well.

If that happens, it is difficult to expect help from Duke Cillian Hale.

‘shit. I just sent the letter.’

My face burned when I thought that I had asked a man at war to do a chore.

As his silence lengthened, Count Larva Omar spoke.

“If the southern kingdoms were united, it would be difficult for the Corvo Magic Corps to fall into the rear. I guess we’ll have to find another way.”

“Is there any other way, Viscount?”

Fabian stared at Viscount Elio Lagoa.

Elio shrugged and said.

“There is a saying in my hometown. Take away the shit you made yourself.”

“The Viscount will solve it yourself? How about going to the Duchy of Lorraine?”

“It’s a bit cumbersome, but you can do it while you’re on the go.”

“how?”

“Am I not a magic swordsman? You just have to go back and forth with something magical.”

“The Countess of Aethos?”

“no. The Escudo Countess.”

Elio was thinking of using his hand against the troublemaker, Count Escudo.

Perhaps this is why there is a saying, ‘When cutting grass, pull up the roots’.

Fabian glanced at Elio’s complexion.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Viscount.”

“uh?”

“Did you know that Viscount has been acting very violently lately?”

“I?”

“yes.”

“What else is so violent?”

Elio looked at Fabian with bewildered eyes.

Of course, I heard that it was a little devil once in Gangho. But that’s just a minor misunderstanding that arose in the process of revenge.

Fabian’s words came as a shock to him, who believed himself to be a soft and delicate person – unlike other people from Green Forest.

“You behaved violently in Kodiak (the city where Moloch’s castle is located).”

He was heartbroken that Viscount Elio Lagoa ate the heart of Bigfoot in Tamion. There’s no way a demon lord could benefit humans!

“What did I do?”

“Do you think I’ve seen one or two people tremble in anger just by making eye contact with demons?”

“I did it on purpose to keep you from thinking about it. You saw what the demons in Kodiak are like.”

“It is true that it was excessive. Not too long ago, Linda Kelly of the Taboola Magic Tower was also judged by summary.”

“That was because he put a curse on Emily.”

“However, it was a bit excessive to kill him without a trial even though he is not a warlock. Hundreds of Count Escudo lost their lives to the Viscount’s magic. Honestly, what’s wrong with the gnomes? Aren’t they just people who go when the lord goes and come when he comes back?”

“…”

Elio couldn’t refute that part.

After listening to it, it seems that Fabian is right.

The lord and his family were at fault, but it was the estate soldiers who died.

‘Have I fallen into a heart attack?’

Shimma refers to the inner darkness that even oneself did not know.

Come to think of it, it seems that he didn’t have any hesitation when using magic against demons or killing wizards.

“The Viscount also saved Putokoa’s raiders. I don’t think their sins are any less than Linda Kelly’s.”

At Fabian’s point, Elio did not make excuses.

He is the person who watched him closest in this world. I couldn’t hear what he was saying with one ear.

Meanwhile, when Viscount Elio Lagoa looked sullen like a child, Count Larva Omar couldn’t help laughing inwardly.

First of all, beating a demon to death is rather a heroic act.

In the case of Linda Kelly, great nobles have the power of summary judgment. No great noble would criticize Viscount Elio Lagoa for overstepping his power.

Finally, I don’t know what’s wrong with killing Count Escudo.

The essence of Youngjijeondo is war.

How can a war be won without killing the enemy?

Harvey shouted ‘Oh!’ as the Lampas Knights moved out of sight. he exclaimed, shaking the reins lightly.

After a while, the quadruped wagon pulled out of the forest road and ran vigorously on the road.

***

Around sundown.

The quadruped carriage carrying Helio’s party arrived at the border between the Duchy of Pommernburg and the Duchy of Malacia.

Harvey drove the wagon to the checkpoint.

Perhaps because of the aftermath of the war, the speed at which travelers passed through the checkpoint was very slow.

After waiting for a long time, it was finally the turn of the quadruped carriage.

As the carriage approached the wooden fence, the guards approached the carriage.

“Who from where?”

When Harvey hesitated, he opened the carriage door and Fabian stepped out.

He presented his own certificates of title, but the guards demanded those of others as well.

It was a figure that had not been seen before when entering and exiting the principality.

In the end, the carriage was able to pass through the barrier only after submitting the title certificates of Count Omar and Helio of Larva.

It was already dark outside the window.

Still running without stopping, Harvey must have found something.

Fabian grumbled after arguing with the guards during the checkup process.

“No, the war was in the South, so why are you so picky with us? Are you discriminating against northern nobles?”

Then Count Larva Omar laughed and said:

“I must have learned it when I was studying war history at the academy. Have you forgotten?”

“What do you have?”

“Didn’t the Empire and Kingdom’s task force carry out sabotage operations in enemy cities? So many units had to be sent back to the rear. After a war, it is natural to keep track of the movement of knights from other countries.”

Elio clicked his tongue as he looked at Fabian.

“Tsk tsk! You graduated from the knight academy, right?”

“I graduated with great grades. If we were southern nobles, we would understand, but the northern nobles say the same thing.”

After hearing this, Elio, feeling strange, turned his head to Count Omar of Larva.

“Is that so?”

“When war breaks out, the distinction between South and North is meaningless. Only the relationship between empires and kingdoms remains. If it wasn’t for the Hirhera incident, the northern kingdoms would have helped the southern ones.”

“Really?”

“That’s why the Empire sent only one division to Hirhera. The more the northern kingdoms lose money in Hirhera, the more stable the empire will be.”

“Huh! Are you saying that you had the war between the Empire and the Kingdom in mind even in the midst of that?”

“Because it has only been 50 years since the war ended. There are many great nobles who want war in the kingdom as well as in the empire.”

Recalling Marquis Hednar, who was hostile to the North, Elio nodded.

If so, the guards’ rough behavior is understandable.

Elio exclaimed inwardly, ‘The great nobility has a different perspective!’

Before long, his gaze turned to Fabian.

“Didn’t you say you heard the genius knight?”

“It’s like that in swordsmanship. Swordsmanship and the eyes to see the world are completely different. I am also learning a lot from Count Larva Omar.”

Fabian jumped before Viscount Helio Lagoa could say anything.

Meanwhile, the carriage stopped.

Elio and the others rushed off the wagon before Harvey could speak.

It was a small village surrounded by wooden fences.

Fabian said to Harvey, who approached.

“There was no inspection?”

“The vigilantes opened it on their own before they could say anything. When they saw the quadruped carriage, they seemed to think it was a procession of a great nobleman.”

“aha.”

Fabian asked no more.

Where there was no lord’s army, the residents formed a vigilante group to defend themselves.

The vigilantes, who had no authority, feared the great nobles as much as the beasts.

In a small village, the quad carriage attracted people’s attention.

After a while, the village chief came running and guided Elio and the others to the village hall.

The village chief voluntarily served the food without being asked to do so.

It was so delectable that it was unbelievable that it was a village.

Fabian asked after Elio finished eating and took the Thunder Sword.

“Where are you going tonight?”

“To clean up the shit.”

“It’s dark on the road, so are you going alone tonight?”

“There is a way to find it without getting lost.”

“Is there such a thing?”

“There is.”

“Can the Count and I wait here?”

“Oh, I’ll be back before sunrise at the latest.”

Elio didn’t say anything definitively.

Count Aethos can go to Count Aethos at once using the technique of nine dragons, but Count Escudo must be visited.

“Don’t be too hard on yourself to be on time. I will be waiting for the viscount to return.”

Count Larva Omar also said a word.

“Sir Lagoa, you don’t have to hurry. Please go slowly.”

Elio greeted Count Omar of Larva and went outside.

Fabian and Count Omar of Larva, who had nothing to do, also quietly followed him.

As Elio leaped into the air and performed the Kowloon Transformation, his figure suddenly disappeared.

Fabian, who had been watching with strained eyes, said with an absurd face.

“Count? Do you have a teleport magic like that?”

“As far as I know, no. And that’s not a teleport.”

“No?”

“There was no distortion in the space. It must be an unknown teleportation technique.”

“I thought I knew the viscount, but… it’s embarrassing.”

“Rather than that, I want to ask you something, can you answer it?”

“Yes, I will tell you everything I know.”

“Didn’t Sir Lagoa tell you many things today in the Duchy of Pommernburg when Sir Lagoa said he would take care of Count Escudo’s affairs himself?”

“Ah then? Did I say something a little presumptuous?”

Fabian, quick-witted, tried to cut off the nagging of Count Omar of Larva.

But Count Omar of Larva had other interests.

“I thought about what you said to Lord Lagoa. You pointed out Lord Lagoa’s behavior as violent and outrageous.”

“Ouch! Are you intelligent? Absolutely not. If it seemed that way to the Count, I must have made a mistake. When the Viscount returns, I will apologize.”

“I am not asking you to apologize to Lord Lagoa. And it’s not the first time you’ve said something like that. If what I see is correct, you are worried about Lord Lagoa. What happened to Lord Lagoa in Tameyon?”

“…”

At that moment, Fabian wanted to punch his own mouth.

Hearing the Count’s story, it was clear that he had crossed the line.

That did not bode well for all members of this group.

After rolling his head for a moment, he faced Count Larva Omar.

It was too much for Viscount Elio Lagoa to carry only himself.

“What kind of existence is Viscount Lagoa to you?”

“What kind of being are you?”

At Fabian’s bold question, Count Larva Omar slightly pulled his upper body back.

Asking the Sword Master a question that would only be appropriate for a librarian or secretary in a library!

“If the word ‘existence’ is burdensome, what do you think of the Viscount?”

“I think you are a great master of swordsmanship. Personally, I believe he is a better person than Archduke Hannes Knauf.”

“Other than that, I want to know the Count’s feelings toward a human named Viscount Elio Lagoa.”

“Wait a minute, you haven’t answered my question yet.”

Count Omar of Larva frowned.

Regardless of the high or low status, it is inconvenient to keep asking questions without answering your own questions.

“As you know, I am a knight for Viscount Elio Lagoa. Please consider asking me to determine whether it is okay to answer the Count’s question.”
