Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1124
Episode 1124. A blind man touching an elephant
Elio glanced at the man next to him.
Shise seemed to be chatting with the others, but it seemed that he had kept his ears open.
This is why there is a saying that birds listen to daytime words and mice listen to nighttime words.
“Is Count Omar famous?”
As Elio whispered, the merchant asked in a voice barely audible even from the seat next to him.
“Where are the knights from?”
“The Kingdom of Escatos.”
Only then did the merchant say with a relieved face.
“He is known as the Baylem Tiger. You are the strongest knight in the North.”
“North?”
Elio widened his eyes.
If he was a master at that level, his name would have been known even to Hirhera, but this is because it is the first time he has heard of it.
“North Baylem.”
“aha.”
Elio shook his head.
I was surprised to think he was talking about the northern part of the continent, but it was the northern part of Baylem.
“Are you a good lord?”
In front of that question, the merchant hesitated.
It is a cautious evaluation of the owner of the area where he is staying.
“I don’t know that far, but I heard that you are a great person.”
At the merchant’s answer, Elio chuckled.
Saying that he doesn’t know is sincere, and the back saying is that he is a great nobleman.
“Aren’t you from this area?”
“That’s right. Our Amicus Merchant is located in southern Baylem. You said that the knights came from the kingdom of Escatos, right?”
“yes.”
“Then do you know a little about the Hirhera region?”
The merchant skillfully changed the topic.
Elio, knowing that there was no more information to gain, agreed moderately.
“A little bit.”
“Is Hirhera still blocked from entering by the military?”
“It’s been a while since I solved it.”
“ah! Then, can the top also come in?”
“Would you rather welcome it? It’s turning into a city.”
“no way! Do you really know? Someone is building a city in a snowy field where there are no people.”
Fabian interrupted the merchant’s words.
“You speak harshly. Why would you lie to a merchant because you regret the article?”
At Fabian’s reproachful words, the merchant immediately lowered his eyes.
“Oops! sorry. I was surprised, I didn’t think it was a lie.”
The conversation ended there.
The merchant had a lot of questions, but he didn’t ask any more because he seemed to be a noble.
However, interest in Hirhera was not limited to merchants.
Two knights who had been talking about Count Larva Omar and Count Gerald Logan a while ago approached Elio and Fabian.
As Elio and Fabian turned around, one of them spoke politely.
“I am Baron Dennis Live, and this is my colleague. I’m curious about something, but if it’s not rude, can I sit together?”
Fabian turned his gaze to Viscount Elio Lagoa.
Then Elio naturally moved inside and sat down.
It means that you can do the synthesis.
Fabian, who had nothing to shy away from, moved to the side and sat down.
Baron Dennis Live and his party settled down next to Elio and Fabian.
As the two unfamiliar knights took their seats, Fabian introduced them briefly.
“I am Baron Fabian Cloud of the Marquis Bernardo, and that is a knight accompanying me.”
Baron Dennis Live and his party glanced at the knight they were accompanying.
Seeing his young age, it was clear that he was the seed of Baron Fabian Cloud.
The article that Baron Dennis Live introduced as a colleague suddenly opened his mouth.
“I am Baron Wildbaum. You are talking about Hirhera… is a city really being built there?”
Fabian then realized that the two knights had come because of curiosity about Hirhera.
Hey, when you become a baron, you might be curious because it’s the time when your blood is boiling.
“you’re right. Dozens of stone buildings have been erected in the past few months. Didn’t you say that there was a bar where Bardos performed?”
“oh!”
“Awesome.”
An exclamation escaped the mouths of Baron Dennis Live and Baron Wildbaum.
In fact, the performance of Bardos is more certain than the number of stone buildings.
The fact that Bardos performances are held means that there are a lot of upper-class people who enjoy them.
Regardless of any era, the population distribution is pyramidal.
The number of the lower middle class is about 10 to 100 times higher than the number of the upper class.
That is why the two knights admired the words ‘Bardos’ performance will be held’.
Perhaps because he was young, Baron Dennis Live showed interest in Bardos’ performance.
“Do you know who Bardos is performing in Hirhera?”
“Miss Erica is performing. I heard that Viscount Natasha Bella is also preparing for a performance.”
“oh! Mysterious Erica? Is that correct?”
“yes. Your voice is really beautiful.”
Fabian said ‘Oops!’ I looked at Baron Dennis Live with a wanting face.
If this happens, it is no different from saying that he was in Hirhera.
just as expected?
Baron Dennis Live asked right away.
“Have you ever been to Hirhera?”
“yes.”
In an instant, Elio kicked Fabian in the shin under the table.
Fabian picked up his beer mug as if nothing had happened.
“Did you serve in the Hirhera Garrison? Or were you in Hirhera?”
“I served as the commander of Rufus Company, a rift monitoring unit.”
Fabian had no reason to hide it, so he revealed the truth.
For an instant, the mouths of Baron Dennis Live and Baron Wildbaum opened up.
That’s because it means that the knight in front of you served in the Hirhera Garrison.
Baron Wildbaum interjected, unable to contain his curiosity.
“Then did you see the demon army attacking through the rift?”
“Did you see it? I also had a fight. Fortunately, it ended with a human victory. If we had lost, we would have been caught up in the war here too.”
“Wow! You did a really great job. hey! miss! Bring four beers here! Bring plenty of side dishes.”
Baron Wildbaum then smiled at Fabian and said,
“I will buy it for the knights who have worked hard.”
Fabian did not hesitate, but showed a light bow as a token of gratitude.
The knights of Baylem knew how to treat a war hero like a country that dispatched an army to Hirhera.
After a while, the clerk brought new beer and snacks.
Baron Dennis Live and Baron Wildbaum asked about the war against the demons.
Even though the kingdom of Baylem dispatched troops, it was because high-level information was not passed on to the lower nobility.
Fabian, who knew the aristocratic society well, gave an appropriate answer.
As the atmosphere matured, this time Fabian spoke in passing.
“Actually, I just heard the two of you talking. I didn’t listen to it, but the voices of the two of you are a bit loud…”
Then Baron Dennis Robin scratched his head with a puzzled face.
“Ah, I was a little excited.”
“I think you two are close to Count Omar of Larva.”
“It’s because Viscount Milo Walker, whom we serve, is Count Larva Omar’s line.”
“Oh, that’s the line.”
Fabian nodded as if he understood the situation.
The nature of the aristocratic gatherings varied.
If an alliance or union is an equal relationship, the line signifies a relationship of superiority and inferiority.
That doesn’t mean you’ve gone
If the vassal shared life and death with the lord, the line was a little more free.
The line maintained a top-down relationship only when the direction was the same.
‘huh? Prince 1’s side lost, but it’s still a line?’
That part was strange to Fabian, but he didn’t dig deeper.
Even if the purpose is lost, there are many cases where the line of duty continues.
The drinking party of the four knights ended happily.
Elio and Fabian remained, and Baron Dennis Live and Baron Wildbaum left the inn-tavern.
The night went deep.
Elio said when most of the bar patrons had left.
“But why is Viscount Milo Walker still on the Rhine? What is left?”
“Doesn’t human relations end as easily as cutting a radish with a knife?”
“Doesn’t it have some other purpose?”
“There won’t be. The 2nd Prince inherited the throne, and Count Larva Omar joined Count Gerald Logan, who was close to the 2nd Prince.”
“Then why are you still under Count Omar of Larva? The situation with Count Omar of Larva didn’t seem good either.”
“I don’t know. If you have any questions, ask them directly.”
“Are you crazy? Why am I meddling in the affairs of the nobles of the Kingdom of Baylem?”
“wow! I didn’t know the Viscount had that kind of discernment.”
“Damn it. What did I do?”
“You’ve been doing whatever you feel like up until now, right?”
“I?”
“Yes, ever since I met the Viscount, it has always been like that.”
“Don’t jump to conclusions. That’s what they call ‘a blind man touching an elephant’.”
“Did I see it with my own two eyes?”
“late. now.”
Elio, speechless, got up from his seat.
Fabian followed Viscount Elio Lagoa with a reluctant face.
***
County of Larva Omar.
Dark Forest.
around noon.
Two knights on horseback entered a forest road thick with beautiful trees.
They are Elio and Fabian.
Neither was speeding for the weary horse.
Elio, who nodded his upper body in line with the sway of the horse, suddenly looked up at the sky.
It has been a long time since the forest was so dense that the sky could not be seen.
Even in broad daylight, the surroundings were dark with densely grown trees.
“Did you say this is the Dark Forest?”
“yes.”
“It is really dark. Even though it’s broad daylight, it feels like early evening. I hope the thieves live.”
“Even if you don’t, I told you to be careful because you can meet bandits in the village you just passed by.”
“Even if I were a thief, I would live in a place like this.”
“Merchants don’t enter unless they form a group.”
“Yah! This is really heaven made for stealing.”
An exclamation of exclamation flowed from Elio, who was from Green Forest.
“Is there a thief who will attack us to rob us even though he knows we are knights?”
“why? Do you want to subdue the thieves?”
“I don’t go looking for it, but if I get a chance, I should. Isn’t that the viscount?”
“Well… that’s right.”
Elio, evading his answer, looked around.
The cool weather adds to the shade of the trees, giving it a dreary feeling.
Suddenly, Elio pricked up his ears.
The faint sound of metal scraping could be heard in the distance.
“Hey, there was a fight.”
“Looks like someone met a thief. How are you?”
Fabian turned his upper body on top of the horse and looked in all directions.
But he couldn’t hear anything.
“I have to go in for a while. It looks like it’s just begun, so let’s go.”
Along with the horse, Elio lightly kicked the horse in the stomach.
The startled horse rushed forward.
Fabian hurriedly followed Viscount Helio Lagoa’s trail.
When the ten knights resisted fiercely, the thirty knights who were attacking them quickly fell back.
At that moment, ten musketeers waiting in the back opened fire with magic guns.
Pupperpuppung-!
Puff-!
The armor of the knights hit by the magic bullets was ‘puffed’.
Unluckily, two knights died after being hit in the face by magic bullets.
When the vassals died, the aged knight burst into a scream and rushed at the musketeers.
Shuaak! Shuak!
The musketeers fell to his sword like a flash war.
The knight, who was running to the other musketeers in succession, suddenly broke his back.
“Cool! Cool!”
Red blood gushed out of his mouth as he coughed violently.
In the meantime, the musketeers hurriedly ran away into the forest.
Thirty knights stood between the bloody elderly knight and the seven knights.
The elderly knight Count Larva Omar, called the Tiger of Baylem, gnashed his teeth and shouted.
“Milo Walker! You scum! You are the disgrace of the knights!”
