Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1223
Episode 1223. Where are the adventurers?
Fabian chuckled at Synclair Jeter’s question, ‘Who is the Master?
Even if you have the luck of a lifetime, there are often cases where you don’t know the value of it.
Synchronous Jeter stared at Fabian with curious eyes.
Then, Fabian said as if he was intoxicated.
“Adventure.”
“I know that.”
“If you know, ask what?”
Fabian turned his upper body to the other side as if he had nothing more to say.
Synclare Jeter, who had been standing there, trudged toward the door.
The youngest guard, Jonver, called her and stopped her.
“You can’t go outside, kid.”
“yes.”
Sinclair Jeter stood idly by the door and looked around the first floor.
Then, when my eyes met the man who was fighting with my father, I secretly turned my head.
Soon after, in the crowd of nobles, ‘Waaaa!’ Laughter was heard.
My face felt hot as if I was laughing at myself.
‘ha! It’s all my fault.’
If I hadn’t asked an adventurer to teach me swordsmanship, my parents wouldn’t have fought.
As she blamed herself, the tightly closed door opened slowly.
Sinclair Jeter’s face, which had been raising his head just in case, brightened.
was an adventurer.
“master!”
“Why are you here?”
“I can’t sleep.”
“Then why not run the ‘Little Sky Circuit’?”
“I forgot.”
Of course it’s a lie.
I couldn’t practice because I was worried about my parents’ worries.
“Follow me.”
Elio walked over to the seat where Fabian and Count Larva Omar were.
As the two approached, Fabian quietly moved to the side of Count Larva Omar.
Elio, who had Synclare Jeter seated next to him, called the saleswoman.
“Do you need anything?”
“Warm milk and cold beer.”
“Yes, I will bring it right away.”
When the saleswoman disappeared, Synclare Jeter said with a confused face.
“thank you.”
“If you succeed later, pay back a hundredfold.”
“yes.”
Fabian, who had been listening to the conversation between the two priests from the other side, interrupted.
“Isn’t a hundred times too much for a child?”
“Are you going to be a kid by then?”
“Oh, I see. But by then, you must have returned to your hometown.”
“ha! I hope so.”
Elio’s sigh cut off the conversation for a moment.
Then the saleswoman brought hot milk and cold beer.
Synclare Jeter, who was sipping milk, asked in passing.
“Where is your hometown?”
“Over there the stars.”
Elio pointed at the night sky with his finger.
Just in time, a shining meteor fell with a long tail.
Synclare Jeter pouted at the master’s bland voice.
“Chi! If you don’t want to teach me, say no.”
Wouldn’t it be over the mountain or across the sea?
Among the many excuses, ‘beyond the stars’ is absurd.
Meanwhile, Wayne Scott, surrounded by aristocrats, was in a bad mood.
It was because of syncrere with the adventurers.
After all, the cause of all this is that she learned swordsmanship from a wandering adventurer.
Even right after my father was beaten up, I felt uncomfortable when I saw Synclare hanging out with the adventurers.
It seems that he was not the only one who thought so.
One of the nobles opened his mouth.
“You can’t just think innocently like a child. Kids these days act like adults. Only the shell is young, but the inside is worn out.”
“you’re right. There are a lot of kids playing on top of adults’ heads. If you were a normal kid, your father would beat you up, but you can’t do that.”
Along with the horse, Wayne Scott pointed at Synclair Jeter with his chin.
The nobles shook their heads.
Iza Crow looked at Synclare Jeter with cold eyes and said.
“Things like that should be trampled on so that they don’t dare to raise their faces. I want to make you realize how scary the world is.”
Even the well-mannered Wayne Scott, perhaps displeased, did not hold back his wife any longer.
***
Next day.
Around noon the three wagons finally reached the border.
Transport Director Leon Thoros frowned.
There was a long line waiting for immigration in front of the checkpoint in the Principality of Fatima.
Considering that he passed without stopping when entering the Principality of Avalant, it was unusual.
He crept up to the side of the experienced guard Duvalier.
“Mr. Duvalier, why doesn’t the immigration process seem complicated?”
“Iknow, right. I don’t know why you’re doing that all of a sudden.”
Leon Thoros, who looked around silently, drove his horse to the checkpoint.
As the man-horse approached, the captain of the guard raised his hand to stop the opponent.
“Stop.”
Leon Toros immediately dismounted and identified himself.
“You work hard. I’m Leon Toros, Director of Transportation for the Stagecoach Transportation Association. The line at the checkpoint is long. What happened?”
“The head of the guard, Baron Victor Orland. There was a terrorist attack in the vicinity in the morning. For a few days, wherever you go, you will be heavily checked and searched.”
“Ah, that’s right. We are a stagecoach from Fiestra. I’ve been running for a month and a half, so can you take care of the situation?”
When the captain of the guard hesitated, Leon Toros placed the three silvers in his hand.
Baron Victor Orland said with a wry smile.
“It can’t be done, take out the wagon separately. I will verify the identity of the passengers and send them.”
“Can’t we pass it with a guarantee from the Stagecoach Transportation Association?”
“I’ve done that in the past…but it’s difficult because there were even terror attacks during wartime. What will you do? Would you like to wait and be checked? Would you like to take it now?”
“ha! I’ll take it now. Please wait a moment.”
Leon Toros, who returned to the carriage, called the guards and delivered the guard’s request.
Guards roamed the wagon to announce that there was a background check.
Some of the passengers jumped at the word identification, but they couldn’t resist the tide.
After a while, three wagons pulled out of the long queue and moved to the side of the checkpoint.
The captain of the guard, Baron Victor Orland, led the knights and approached the lead carriage.
“I will verify the identity of the men, except for the woman and the child. Submit documents to prove your identity to the driver.”
Andrea Jeter handed the knight a confirmation of a mana stone appraiser from Coral Co., and then glanced at the adventurer next to him.
Elio held out the adventurer’s certificate to the knight with a nonchalant face.
Casper, the knight who thoughtlessly looked at the adventurer’s certificate, was taken aback.
‘Count Elio Lagoa?’
He hurriedly returned to the chief of the guard, Baron Victor Orland.
“Baron, you should take a look at this.”
“Something?”
As Baron Victor Orland, who confirmed his adventurer certificate, hurriedly ran to the carriage, a voice pierced his ears.
-Do not pretend to know me and pass this wagon.
Whose name are you going to defy?
Baron Victor Orland politely returned the adventurer’s certificate to Count Helio Lagoa and turned around.
After a while, three carriages and guards crossed the border of the Principality of Fatima.
After ordering Casper to follow the carriage, Baron Victor Orland sent a magic message to the royal palace, as it was a famous aristocrat’s visit.
***
Principality of Fatima.
Gateway city Odessa.
As the sun went down, three carriages approached the great gates.
Although it is a gateway city to the Principality of Fatima, Odessa boasts a scale comparable to that of the royal capital. The gates were also made of steel.
Three carriages pulled close to the rear of the long line to enter the city.
Unlike border checkpoints, access to Odessa was not difficult, but the speed of reduction was slow as there were so many people flocking from all over the country.
It was then.
Suddenly, armed soldiers poured out from inside the castle and pushed the people waiting in front of the wagon from side to side.
Before long, the road that had been blocked by people and wagons was wide open.
Hundreds of knights came out of the gate in an orderly manner.
Even at first glance, it was the official procession of a great aristocrat of the empire.
Leon Toros and the guards hurriedly pulled the three wagons aside in the middle of the road.
Leon Toros, who was watching the knights coming from afar, stuck out his tongue.
“Wow! It looks like the Marquis is moving… You’re enjoying your eyes today.”
The ruler near the border, including the gateway city of Odessa, is Marquis Marquis Reg Evans.
Considering the rumors of the Margrave coming out of the castle or when the Emperor of the Empire came to visit, it was something that would remain in my memory forever.
Following hundreds of knights, the knights of the Marquis in robes appeared.
I don’t know what kind of event it was, but seeing the majesty of the knights made my hamstrings tingle.
As the knights with banners embroidered with gold thread approached, Leon Toros and his guards hurriedly dismounted from their horses and stepped aside.
But what is this?
The knights of the Marquis advanced in a straight line towards Leon Toros and the guards.
It was time for Leon Toros to look up at the Knights with a nervous heart.
A knight in his fifties, clad in golden armor, approached from among the knights.
“Are you the ones who passed the border checkpoint at noon today?”
“yes.”
“Did you start from Fiestra?”
“That’s right.”
Then the knight in golden armor got off his horse and asked again.
“Where are the adventurers?”
“For adventurers… it is the leading wagon.”
A knight in golden armor approached the carriage in the lead and raised his hand.
Hundreds of knights rode horses like the wind and lined up in front of the carriage.
As the knights settled down, the knight in golden armor shouted with a loud voice.
“Your Excellency, Count Elio Lagoa! I am Count Bert Pons, leader of the Phoenix Knights. Welcome to Odessa, the gateway city to the Principality of Fatima!”
Elio, who had been watching with a sullen face, opened the window and poked his head out.
“Count Berthe Pons? What good do you welcome? Open the road.”
When Count Helio Lagoa showed off his displeasure, Count Bert Ponce couldn’t hide his embarrassment.
‘Damn it! It’s a big deal. What the hell did Viscount Crow do?’
Whatever the reason, the Viscount Crow has come to an end now that he has touched such a magnate that even Prince Atensio Catis would notice.
“Your Excellency, Marquis Marquis Reg Evans, wants to see you.”
“That’s Okay. There is no time, so open the road.”
“dismissal! We have closed three of the Viscount Crow’s businesses and arrested those associated with the Viscount Crow. Wouldn’t it be great if you could accept the invitation of the Marquis, even with such sincerity?”
“…”
Only then did Elio stare at Count Bert Ponce with a cold face.
Count Bert Ponce didn’t miss the opportunity and pushed harder.
“Just in case you didn’t know, I’ve also secured recruits for people related to Viscount Crow. Withdraw your anger and meet with the Marquis.”
“Is Baron Scott among them?”
“yes! Baron Scott is on standby as well as Baron Cotton.”
“Who is Baron Cotton?”
“I am one of Viscount Crow’s in-laws.”
“Ah…”
Elio nodded.
It seems that after arguing bitterly against the king, they arrested all of Viscount Crow’s in-laws.
“No, what’s that…”
Count Helio Lagoa’s expression softened slightly, and Count Bert Ponce called for joy inwardly.
‘That’s it!’
