Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1208
Episode 1208. Yes, I don’t think so.
The next morning Elio’s group packed up and left the port.
Count Larva Omar, who had recently visited Fiestra to discuss the issue of the title of Count Helio Lagoa, led the party to the police station.
Police Department Secretariat.
Strange men piled in, but the magistrate, Cecilia Crom, was not taken aback.
“welcome. I’m Administrator Cecilia Crom. What did you come for?”
Fabian took the place of Count Helio Lagoa.
“I am Baron Fabian Cloud. Count Elio Lagoa next to me visited to register as an adventurer. What should I do?”
Surprised by the word Elio, Countess of Lagoa, Cecilia Crom jumped up from her seat.
There was no one in Fiestra who did not know the name of Count Helio Lagoa.
That famous nobleman is coming!
“Registration as an adventurer? Now wait a minute!”
Cecilia Crom hurriedly went to the bookshelf and started looking for the adventurer registration documents.
Then she took out a piece of paper and politely handed it to Baron Fabian Cloud.
“You can fill out this document. In the meantime, if you submit a title certificate, I will quickly check the contents and return it to you.”
Title certificates and documents passed between Fabian and Count Helio Lagoa.
Elio sat down at the desk guided by the administrator and filled in the blanks on the paperwork.
The content was as simple as heard.
After a while, he handed over the completed papers and returned the title certificate.
Elio got up from his seat and asked the magistrate standing on one side.
“By the way, are there any special qualifications to become an adventurer? I don’t think anyone can get it just because their identity is certain.”
“yes. Only nobles and wizard mercenaries can register as adventurers. In the case of wizards and mercenaries, you must submit a certificate issued by the School of Magic and the Mercenary Guild, respectively.”
“Only nobles, wizards, and mercenaries can be adventurers?”
“That’s right. Since the Abyss is a dangerous zone, the general public is restricted from entering.”
“Is the Abyss such a dangerous place?”
Cecilia Crom looked at Count Elio Lagoa involuntarily.
It was because he was the first aristocrat who did not know such basic things.
“During the ancient upheaval, monsters and monsters in the central continent moved to the north, while monsters and monsters in the south flocked to the Abyss.”
“Is the Abyss that wide?”
Elio looked at the magistrate with astonished eyes.
That’s because it would be impossible unless the Abyss was as wide as Tamion.
Only then did Cecilia Crom realize that Count Helio Lagoa had no idea about the Abyss.
She went back to the bookshelf and started picking out books about the Abyss.
“The Abyss is the entrance to a great underground cavity connected to ‘another dimension with a specific space’. Although the wizards claim that it is just a new type of dungeon. There is only one entrance to the grand cavity that goes down underground, but as you go down, different spaces are connected like blocks. It is said that not even 10 percent of the Great Cavity has been explored in the past thousands of years.”
Cecilia Crom put the three books down on the wooden desk and took a step back.
Elio picked up the topmost book and opened it.
As the title suggests, the history of the Abyss from the first discovery to the present was recorded.
When I saw the list of demons and monsters that appeared in the Abyss, I felt strange.
‘The monster and the monster that fought in the real Hirhera Garrison.’
The other two books contained the contents of the Abyss monsters and the structure of the Abyss, respectively.
Elio held up the ‘Comprehensive Abyss’ in front of Fabian.
“Have you ever seen a book like this?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“Isn’t there such a good book at the academy?”
As Elio looked at Fabian with a bewildered face, Cecilia Chrome intervened slightly.
“The Abyss is an island managed by the Empire, so it must not have been known to the Kingdom.”
“Ah, is there anywhere to get this?”
Elio openly revealed his greed for the Abyss.
After hesitating for a moment, Cecilia Chrome answered cautiously.
“If Count Lagoa wants it, take it. We can order again.”
The price of the book was expensive, but the lord’s butler would rather have liked it if it was a gift to Count Helio Lagoa.
“ah! Really? thank you What is the name of the magistrate?”
“This is Cecilia Crom of the Fiestra Police Corps.”
“I will not forget Administrator Cecilia Chrome. Please contact me if you ever need my help.”
Cecilia Crom couldn’t hide her joy at Count Elio Lagoa’s words.
It was only natural that he heard such words from a great nobleman standing shoulder to shoulder with the Grand Duke of Knauf.
“thank you!”
“Thank you for what. I’m rather grateful By the way, when will I get that adventurer registration card?”
“Please wait a moment. I will make it right away.”
Cecilia Crom hurriedly returned to her desk and stamped the seal of the Fiestra Security Guard on Count Elio Lagoa’s adventurer’s registration card.
“Here it is. I don’t know if you know, but the adventurer’s registration card can be used instead of an identity document at the border or territory checkpoint.”
“ah! is it so?”
“Yes, in the Empire as well as in the Kingdom, forgery of certificates is a serious crime, so it can be trusted.”
“Good for you. Then let’s go.”
Elio nodded to the beauty administrator and turned around.
After a while, Elio’s party left the security guard and headed for Fiestra’s carriage station.
Fabian, who was walking shoulder to shoulder with Count Elio Lagoa, asked sneakily.
“Count Lagoa, the book is thick. Is it okay? Shall I read it for you?”
“why? Are you greedy because it’s not even in the academy?”
“Not at all. I’m afraid Count Lagoa will be tired.”
“are you okay. I thought Abyss was just such a place… From what the administrator said, it was a bloody place.”
Then, Fabian walked away.
“Some of the administrators exaggerated. It’s actually not that dangerous. Miners and gatherers also come and go to the Abyss.”
“Wasn’t only adventurers allowed to enter? Why is it different from the administrator’s explanation?”
“haha! Did you know that only miners and gatherers enter? Even the handymen come and go.”
“Then what is an adventurer registration card?”
As Elio stopped with a stunned face, Count Larva Omar intervened.
“Adventurer registration is absolutely necessary. There’s something Baron Fabian didn’t tell you. Adventurers can enter and exit the Abyss freely, but miners and gatherers do not. They enter briefly under the supervision of adventurers to mine ore or gather herbs. You can think of the handymen as the porters of adventurers. If you are not an adventurer, there are many restrictions on activities. You are not even allowed entry on your own from the start.”
“aha!”
“At the beginning of the Abyss, the risk factors were removed by the adventurers, but the administrator’s words are only ten percent. No, since we don’t know the whole thing, it would be correct to regard even 10 percent as an uncertain number.”
Elio shook his head.
It was only now that he could understand why the magistrate and Fabian were slightly different.
In the meantime, Elio’s party arrived at Fiestra’s carriage station.
Fabian was busy running around looking for a carriage heading south.
Elio, who was warming up in front of the hearth of history, turned his head to the sharp hammering sound.
Hundreds of people were busy moving in the plaza behind the carriage station.
Half of the men advanced in one direction, leveling the ground, while the other half laid a long strip of wood about three meters long on the rammed ground.
Dozens of workers were beating it with sledgehammers after placing a piece of steel long like a thong on the wood.
earth! earth! Daang-!
Elio, who has excellent hearing, frowned at the continued hammering sound.
“Why are those people hammering on the bare ground?”
“We’re making tracks for the horsepower train.”
“What is a horsepower train?”
“A horse-drawn carriage is a horse-powered train. It operated only in a part of the central part of the island, but it seems to be expanding to the entire central part.”
It was a misunderstanding by Count Omar of Larva, a northern aristocrat.
The Empire had entered into the construction of a railway line that criss-crossed East-West and North-South.
Elio said with a pitiful face.
“If you don’t say anything, you won’t know? Speaking of overflowing stuff, why bother people unnecessarily? At first glance, it seems like a lot of work has been done to divert people’s attention to something else. Right?”
Count Omar of Larva did not reply.
Even he, a great aristocrat, did not yet know what he could do with the magic train.
“Only one wagon can go on that road. Waste of time, waste of materials.”
While Elio grumbled, Fabian returned with a carriage ticket.
“We leave in 30 minutes.”
“Fabian, do you see people working in the vacant lot behind the station over there?”
“Yes, why?”
“Do you know what it is doing?”
“I do not know. It’s the first time I’ve seen such a strange construction.”
“It is the work of laying the tracks of the horsepower train.”
Elio excitedly recounted the story he had heard from Count Omar of Larva.
However, Fabian listened and listened with one ear.
Because what matters to him now is not the stagecoach horsepower train to the south.
Fabian waited for Elio to finish speaking before speaking quickly.
“Because the weather is cold, the carriage does not provide meals. There is a restaurant in town that has a contract with the stagecoach, and you have to eat there.”
“Does it taste good?”
“They say they signed a contract with a delicious restaurant… You have to try it to know, right?”
“Then it would probably be a piece of shit. Can’t we eat somewhere else?”
“There’s nothing wrong with it, but I’ll be damned that I don’t have time to wait.”
“Good is good. Believe me, let’s try it. How long does it take to get to the south?”
“It takes two months to reach the southern border. However, you have to transfer to another stagecoach at the Principality of Fatima in the middle. The stagecoaches of the Duchy of Lorraine don’t go all the way to the southern border.”
“You mean you have to go for a month in the middle?”
“That’s right. However, it may take longer depending on weather conditions. If there is heavy snow, you have to wait for it to melt. If the road is covered with snow, it is dangerous because you cannot know where the road is.”
Elio took a peek behind the scenes of history.
It seemed to me that I wouldn’t have to worry about straying from the road if I worked on the ground like that and walked on iron poles.
‘That would be a waste.’
He soon gave up his interest in magic trains.
After a while, Elio and Count Omar of Larva followed Fabian – to their carriage.
After walking for a long time, Fabian stopped in front of a huge carriage that could accommodate as many as six people.
The family in front of the waiting area glanced at Elio and the others with wary eyes.
Going out with three black men with knives at their waists seems a bit uneasy.
Seeing their nervous faces, Elio stabbed Fabian in the side.
“How much does it cost to charter a carriage?”
“Don’t think that you will use it like water because it’s not my money. Do you know how much Count Omar spent on his horse-powered sailboat?”
“Can’t you even ask?”
“Yes, I hate that thought. Don’t even do it. Anyone with a conscience should save as much as possible and receive help.”
