Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1107
Episode 1107. Are you finally going to Jedo?
Hirhera Allied Garrison.
When Elio appeared, the sword masters rushed towards him.
Duke Escatos asked urgently.
“Sir Elio, what happened?”
“The demon lords fought me and then ran away. We will not invade for a while until we raise more troops.”
In fact, while running away, the three died instantly on the spot, but they omitted the afterword. It’s because I don’t feel the need to explain it so far.
“Oh oh! that!”
“indeed!”
“Lord Lagoa saved the North!”
“The monarchs are running away! oh my god!”
The sword masters, who were discouraged by the fight with the demon champions, praised Viscount Elio Lagoa with one voice.
To the sword masters who fought champions, the demon lord was a story from a distant country.
They no longer felt jealous or competitive with Elio Lagoa.
The sword masters of the Northern Arm Kingdom considered Viscount Elio Lagoa to be of a similar rank to the legendary Grand Duke Hannes Knauf.
One division of the Armed Kingdom and the Imperial Army advanced to the rift and began restoration work.
that evening.
Escatos Kingdom Command and Control Barracks.
Three people sat across from each other at a rectangular table.
The Duke of Escatos, Marshal of the Kingdom of Escatos, the Marquis Bernardo, the general, and Viscount Elio Lagoa, vice-captain of the Phoenix Knights.
Duke Escatos and Marquis Bernardo only noticed, but did not open their mouths first.
It is because the person who summoned them to this place was that Viscount Elio Lagoa.
After organizing his thoughts for a while, Elio spoke to the two people who were waiting quietly.
“Moloch, who invaded last time, was Lord of Mokubas. After he died at my hands, other demon lords came to seek revenge. As you know, as long as there is a rift, the invasion of demons will be repeated.”
Duke Escatos and Marquis Bernardo nodded.
It was something that all the northern kingdoms already knew.
“When I was fighting the lords this time, I was a bit misunderstood. Because I have so many auras, they misunderstood me as a member of the demon tribe.”
“A demon?”
Marquis Bernardo looked at the Viscount of Lagoa through Eli with absurd eyes.
It’s true that his aura is immeasurable, but such a misunderstanding?
“In ancient times, before the formation of ice walls… They say that the Buraqui tribe, a demon with a human-like appearance, lived on the continent. Later, the Buraqui people escaped from humans and went into the mountains to live with savages. Since I am a savage tribe, they thought I was a descendant of the Buraqui people. They said that a human body could not train that level of aura.”
“…”
In the moment, the eyes of Duke Escatos and Marquis Bernardo were tense.
It could be true if the Buraqui tribe really came down and lived with the savages in ancient times.
Elio guessed what they were thinking and smiled.
“I am not a Buraqui. I don’t know who invited you, but I heard that there is a priest of Manaphthras in the garrison city. A priest should be able to distinguish whether I am a human or a demon.”
Then Duke Escatos said with a shy face.
“The priest… asked me to come to dispel the suspicions of the nobles of other kingdoms. Now that the word has come out, let’s meet together tomorrow morning.”
Duke Escatos, who was planning a natural meeting between the priest and Viscount Helio, did not miss this opportunity.
Marquis Bernardo secretly sided with the duke.
“It happened. In fact, we believe that Sir Elio has nothing to do with demons or black magic… but the great nobles who do not know Sir Elio well do not. If it’s the priest’s guarantee, they won’t think of anything else.”
Elio nodded his head to fully understand their position.
If you were from a savage tribe and transcended human limitations, you had nothing to say even if you were suspicious of black magic or demons.
Isn’t it enough to believe that the demon lords are descendants of the Buraqui people?
“The story has gone off the beaten path for a while. The demon lords believe me to be a Buraqui. I intend to use their faith to become the Lord of Mokuvas. After that, we will block other demons from entering Mokubas. If this method succeeds, there will be no demons invading Hiruhera right away. In the meantime, my plan is to build a castle wall or repair an ice wall.”
The Duke of Escatos and the Marquis Bernardo looked at Viscount Elio Lagoa with surprised eyes.
A human becoming a demon lord to protect Hirhera!
If someone else did that, they would have called it crazy.
By the way, listening to Viscount Elio Lagoa’s words, do you think it’s a good idea?
To be honest, from a human point of view, you have to lose money.
If it worked, it would buy time, but if it failed, nothing would get worse.
“So, after meeting with the priest tomorrow, please discharge me and Baron Fabian.”
Marquis Bernardo hurriedly asked back.
“Are you thinking of leaving Hirhera?”
“Once I become Lord of Mokubas, it will be quiet for at least a few years.”
Only then did Marquis Bernardo nod.
Indeed, if Viscount Helio Lagoa became the ruler of Mokubas, Hirhera would be safe, so it didn’t matter if he ordered him to be discharged.
“Okay. Pray for the Lord to become the Lord of Mokuvas. Please come back if your plans get in the way and you can’t become the lord of Mokubas.”
“I will.”
As soon as the story was sorted out, Duke Escatos cracked a joke.
“Sir Elio, even if you become the lord of Mokubas, please come to the palace often. At that time, I will honor the king, not the lord. ha ha ha.”
Elio smiled and asked as if he had suddenly remembered.
“By the way, did you learn anything more from the warlock?”
Then Marquis Bernardo answered on behalf of the duke.
“Dylan Dunford didn’t just use the evil spirit’s barrier (Terminus). The reason the ice wall continued to rise was because of the bone called Charat.”
“Charat?”
“They say that bone fragments with curses that worsen the condition are called charatra. Warlocks have confessed to scattering hundreds of charat on and around the ice walls. If you remove Charat, the ice wall will return to its original form.”
“I’m so glad that is. It seems more feasible than building a wall?”
“exactly. I hope there is no invasion of demons while I retrieve Charat.”
“Are you sure the ice wall will return to its original form once you retrieve the Charat?”
“I’m guessing that’s pretty much it.”
“okay.”
Elio let out a sigh of relief.
I felt uncomfortable leaving behind Hirhera’s rift, but my heart felt lighter.
After a while, Elio came out of the command and control barracks and went to find Fabian with Rufus Company.
Fabian, who had just gone to bed, got up hastily and greeted Elio.
“Oops! Viscount! What are you doing at such a late hour?”
“Say good-bye to the troops tomorrow morning.”
“yes? Suddenly?”
“Oh, that’s how things turned out. You won’t be coming to Hirhera for the time being.”
“Are you finally going to the imperial capital?”
“Similar.”
For a moment, Fabian hesitated.
For some reason, an ominous feeling crept up.
“Where are you going if not to Jedo?”
“Mokubas.”
“Yes? Isn’t that the territory of Moloch in Tamion?”
Surprised, Fabian raised his voice involuntarily.
“What are you so surprised about? Don’t get excited and listen.”
Elio explained to Fabian what happened while fighting the demon lords.
“…That’s why I decided to go to Mokubas. First of all, we have to let the demons of Mokubas know who their monarch is.”
“Go alone. Can you take me with you on the way to Jedo!”
“You want me to go to the demons’ den by myself? That doesn’t work. If I want to sleep, I need to have at least one trustworthy person next to me. That’s why you’re perfect.”
“Just use the alarm magic. Don’t you know how to use magic, too?”
“I don’t know how to use magic. All I know is a few spells. Anyway, I know it’s because I got permission from the Marquis.”
“Are you allowed?”
“You and I will be discharged tomorrow. I told you I was going to Mokubas with you.”
“no! Why do you decide on your own? You should ask my opinion!”
“so? Aren’t you going?”
“I’m not going! I can’t go! Unlike the Viscount, I am only a sword beginner. It is said that it is not even a mouthful of demons. Do you know my level?”
“Who told you to fight demons? I just need to be vigilant when I sleep.”
“They say they stand guard and go hook.”
“Just stop it once, man. You know how bright my ears are Besides, I have a sixth sense, so I can foresee any danger in advance. Don’t worry too much.”
“You know the danger in advance? Then maybe I shouldn’t sleep. Go alone.”
“You’ll be discharged tomorrow anyway. Are you going to become a wandering knight?”
“ha! Why are you doing this to me? Didn’t I say that I would go with the Empire as well as the South? But suddenly, let’s go to Mokubas? In Tamion, a knight like me can’t even survive a day. Would you feel relieved if I were eaten by demons?”
“Which demon eats you while I’m there?”
“If the hungry demons turn their eyes away, that might be the case.”
“don’t worry. To be honest, it doesn’t look appetizing enough to make you roll your eyes.”
Fabian lowered his head as Viscount Elio Lagoa refused to give up his will to take him to the end.
“Why is the would-be lord of Slash Land so disappointed?”
Fabian’s ears perked up at the sound of the lord.
“If you want to live as a lord in the north, it would be good to know about the neighboring Mokubas. It would be nice if the ice wall was repaired, but it might not be. Imagine that in the distant future, northern kingdoms will gather in Hirhera to find you.”
Only then did Fabian lift his face.
It’s not that, considering the location of Slash Land, it wasn’t bad to get to know Mokubas. Because it was true that they were neighbors, whether they liked it or not.
“You must protect me. Just promise me that.”
“of course. Because I will protect you.”
“The limbs are fine.”
“uh?”
When Elio looked at what he was talking about, Fabian said clearly.
“The limbs must be intact. Promise me.”
“okay. Buy it intact. Are you okay?”
“All right. I will go.”
“Yah! Baron Fabian, are you like my master?”
“Don’t talk back. I still don’t want to go, but I’m going so that the viscount can sleep comfortably.”
“Isn’t it because of Slash Land?”
“That’s a bonus.”
“Oh, is that so? I will. And Miss Sera told me to just stay in Hirhera.”
Hirhera would tell her to go back to her hometown if she was unstable, but since then, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
It was better to leave it alone than to hear that I stole an acquaintance in a safe place.
“Yes, once the viscount becomes the lord of Mokubas, it will be safe for a while, so I will.”
“It’s not necessarily because of that. If done well, the ice wall could be restored.”
Elio told Marquis Bernardo the story about Charat.
Fabian’s face brightened.
If that’s true, it’s because not only Hirhera but the entire North will be safe.
