Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1357

Episode 1357. You should be able to get one duchy.

Chief of staff, Viscount Ikov Sayha, winked at staff, Baron Sofia Orlova.

Baron Sofia Orlova, a blonde beauty in her twenties, nodded with a determined face.

Eventually, she entered through the collapsed wall of the T-pop (southern lodging house).

Inside the T-pop, only two young men were eating.

Baron Sofia Orlova, checking the young men’s attire, slowly approached them.

‘You’re really wearing Gambison (quilted armor).’

I couldn’t understand at first glance that Gambison was in this scorching heat.

On the other hand, I felt the stubbornness of the northern knights, and it was a bit of a burden.

As the young men glanced back, Baron Sofia Orlova hurriedly opened her mouth.

“hello? We are very sorry for the inconvenience during the meal. I am Baron Sofia Orlova, staff member of the Skull Corps in the Kingdom of Adria. Are you two Count Elio Lagoa and Baron Fabian Cloud from the North?”

A rare beauty asked, and Fabian quickly rose from his seat.

“I am Baron Fabian Cloud. This is Count Elio Lagoa. What did you come for?”

Then Baron Sofia Orlova smiled and said,

“It is an honor to meet you first. The head of the Skull Corps, Count Dipon Cornelia, wants to meet the hero of the North, Count Lagoa.”

She paused for a moment and glanced over the table.

I was lucky.

Seeing that the plates were empty, he seemed to have just finished eating.

“The corps commander is now in front of T-pop. If it’s not rude, can I bring you in now?”

Fabian nodded vigorously.

“It’s possible. Don’t be.”

Baron Sofia Orlova looked at Count Elio Lagoa as if to confirm.

When Baron Cloud, a low-class aristocrat, responded without asking the earl’s intention, a high-noble man, he acted as such reflexively.

Elio nodded absently when the woman saw him.

Only then did Baron Sofia Orlova speak with a relieved face.

“thank you. I will bring you.”

After speaking, she bowed silently and then turned around and went outside.

As Fabian couldn’t take his eyes off her back, Elio clicked his tongue with a ‘tsk tsk’.

“When are you going to come to your senses?”

“why? Do you still have the aftereffects of mind magic?”

“It’s because women don’t seem to be able to keep their senses.”

“Am I? It can’t be. Not at all. I don’t even look at a beautiful woman. Please don’t make me look like a guy who’s obsessed with women.”

“Isn’t that what it is?”

“No. It’s natural to have your eyes set on beautiful ladies. That’s the nature of nature.”

“Whew. let’s not talk Did you send a letter to Sarah?”

“I sent it because you said something last time… but would you like an answer?”

Elio said, ‘Why do you think there won’t be an answer?’ The moment he was about to ask, the Skull Corps commanders entered through the collapsed wall.

At the visit of the great noble of the southern kingdom, Elio slowly rose from his seat.

A staff member, Baron Sofia Orlova, introduced the two sides in the middle.

After greeting each other, Baron Sofia Orlova took a step back from the corps commander.

Even Fabian, who was only a baron, sneaked back without noticing.

Naturally, Count Dipon Cornelia and Count Elio Lagoa sat face to face.

Count Dipon Cornelia, the sword master, smiled and opened his mouth.

“I didn’t expect to see the living legend of the north, His Excellency Count Lagoa, here. It is an honor to meet you.”

“It was nothing. By the way, what are you doing early in the morning?”

Elio, who was not social by nature, went to the main topic without hesitation.

Earl Dipon Cornelia was a little taken aback, but answered without showing it.

“I didn’t come because I had a special business. Little by little, the situation in the North is being known to the Southern Kingdom as well. Anyone who knew what His Excellency did in Hirhera… anyone would have come running and asked to see you.”

“aha. You didn’t come because you had other business, did you?”

“yes.”

“thank god. I’ve been cautious about meeting anyone since my aide, Baron Cloud, was captured by the Imperial Army a few days ago.”

“Huh! Did that happen? The imperial army is crazy. Wasn’t His Excellency, a nobleman from the north, given the title of Count of the Empire in order not to get involved in the war?”

“It was.”

“What the Southern Kingdom also knows… Why did the Imperial Army make such an irrational number? Moreover, ahead of the southern kingdom’s counterattack. It seems that the staff of the Imperial Army did not do their job?”

“I was also curious, so I went to the crown prince and asked him. Then they said it was an arbitrary act by the chief of staff of the Expeditionary Forces General Headquarters.”

“Chief of Staff? Isn’t the Marquis of Reid Costak the Chief of Staff of the Expeditionary Force? I heard that he is a pretty rational person… Why did he shoot my foot?”

“I think it was to show loyalty to the crown prince.”

“Oh no!”

“Recently, the prince’s closest aide tried to kill me and died at my hand. He seems to have thought that the crown prince’s face had been lost because of that.”

“ah!”

“I couldn’t touch it and instead touched Baron Cloud.”

“If it had been done under the direction of the chief of staff, would Baron Cloud have had a hard time?”

“I was affected by mental magic a little… I’m not sure if it’s aftereffects or not because I’ve always been good at talking nonsense.”

“Huh…”

Earl Dipon Cornelia was speechless.

It was difficult to tell how much of it was serious and where it was a joke.

‘Is this a Northern joke?’

Considering the barren North, even more self-torture is understandable.

Count Dipon Cornelia glanced at Count Elio Lagoa.

“Wouldn’t your relationship with the Empire be the same as before?”

“There is a saying in my hometown. The tree tries to stay still, but the wind does not stop [樹欲靜而風不止].”

“iced coffee!”

Earl Dipon Cornelia thought, ‘The analogy is very natural, as expected from a savage.’

‘Are you saying that the wind just shakes the trees?’

It means ‘even if the empire shakes him, he will not fight’.

It’s a pity for the southern kingdom, but I wasn’t too disappointed.

It was because he was convinced that ‘if the steel golem played its part, we could defeat the imperial army’.

While he was trying to make up his mind, Elio immediately asked.

“But can we say that the southern kingdom’s great counterattack has begun?”

“yes. That’s right. Not only the Adria Kingdom, but also the southern kingdom allied forces gathered in the Dnirov Kingdom and the Ureum Kingdom are advancing towards Adria. The Empire will despair before the might of the true southern realm. The southern kingdoms intend to use this opportunity to dismantle the great evil of the Empire. That way, the Central will never again have its eyes on the treasures of the South.”

Elio stuck his tongue out.

The southern treasure means, of course, the iron golem.

Dismantling the empire to monopolize it is such a great greed.

“If the southern kingdom has a large number of steel golems… I don’t know if the empire will come to the south then?”

The Londinium Empire also started out as a small city-state.

Then it waged wars of conquest and finally became an empire, and it seemed that the southern kingdoms would surely follow the same history.

“It is better to rule than to be controlled by someone.”

“…”

Elio clicked his tongue inwardly at Count Dipon Cornelia’s outspoken words.

‘Tsk tsk! This guy or that guy…’

It seems that people are doing the same thing in the upper world and the lower world.

“I heard that there is a new weapon in the Southern Kingdom… Can you deal with the Empire’s Excitium with it?”

“her! how did you know that? It’s a secret that hasn’t been revealed to the outside world yet.”

“I know my companion, Count Larva Omar, is in Krasion.”

“iced coffee! You did. I also met him in Krasion. Let me tell you that you already know. The Southern Kingdom purchased a new material called Artenium from the Mage Tower.”

“Arthenium?”

“It is an immortal new material that cannot be destroyed even if it is hit by excitium. It can protect the iron golem.”

“You made something like that in the Mage Tower?”

Elio was stunned.

‘Are wizards crazy?’

They sold Excitium – a spear that can pierce anything – to the Empire, and Arthenium – a shield that can block anything – to the Southern Kingdom.

“It must mean that Mana Phrass did not abandon the southern kingdom. It wasn’t long before the empire collapsed. Why don’t you, Your Excellency, help the Southern Kingdom, which is now an ally? With Your Excellency’s ability, you should be able to obtain at least one principality after the war. Having the imperial decree seems fine, too.”

Count Dipon Cornelia subtly tried to appease Count Lagoa.

Even if you become a sword master, you will hear the sound of a one-man army, but your opponent is a grand master.

It should be seen that it had the same armed forces as one group army.

Consider one group with high mobility.

A bit blasphemous, but on the battlefield, the Grand Master is a god.

The time it takes to destroy the Londinium Empire will be greatly shortened.

Fabian’s face, who was listening from behind, turned red.

After the Count of Lagoa said, ‘I will return the title of the Empire’, Latinus (Lorraine Duchy) gave up.

I was satisfied with being the next lord of the northern slash land, but now that I’ve listened to it, I’m in the mood to become the next king?

‘Ask for help!’

Anyway, the relationship between Count Lagoa and the empire has long since collapsed.

In particular, the prince would never pass over the humiliation he suffered this time.

If you think about after Count Lagoa left, the empire must disappear.

‘please!’

Fabian’s heart beat quickened.

It doesn’t matter if you can keep the throne or not.

Isn’t the opportunity to sit on the throne precious in itself!

The calm voice of Count Elio Lagoa reached Fabian’s ears.

“Thank you for your words. As long as the emperor does not oppose me, I will not enter this war.”

Elio, who would leave anyway, had no interest in the throne.

In addition, if Ushas Undra is in the Imperial Territory, you have to travel around the Empire to catch him, but if you become an enemy of the Empire, your activities will be difficult.

So it was better to remain neutral until the end.

In an instant, Fabian’s face crumpled.

‘Ah, it’s been good.’

I was lucky enough to sit on the throne, but the opportunity passed before my eyes like lightning.

Baron Sofia Orlova whispered to him as he collapsed.

“Could you give me a minute?”

Fabian’s heartbeat accelerated again at the fragrant beauty’s scent.

“yes.”

When Baron Cloud nodded vigorously, Baron Sofia Orlova motioned for her to follow him and sneaked out.

Fabian followed her like an obedient puppy.

The corps commander, Earl Dipon Cornelia, did not get up right away, even though the offer of conversion was rejected.

It’s not like we talked about anything great.

He spent a time like gold, uncharacteristically for a commander who was at the forefront of a counterattack.

Thanks to this, Elio was able to obtain a lot of information about Artenium.

Their conversation ended after about half an hour, when Baron Sofia Orlova and Baron Fabian Cloud returned.

Elio asked Fabian right after the commanders of the Adria Kingdom army left.

“Where have you been?”

“yes? Where do you think I went?”

“okay? Didn’t you see it when I looked around for a while while I was talking?”

“Oh, I went to the bathroom for a while. You don’t have to go to the bathroom with the Count’s permission, do you?”

“When will I do that? why are you so sensitive it’s award winning Do you smell something?”

As Elio sniffed, Fabian quietly backed away.

Elio, who had been tilting his head, suddenly frowned.

“Hey! You come here!”
