Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1361
Episode 1361. Righteous relationship between humans and gods
Inside the stagecoach to Krasion.
Elio, who was looking out the window with a bored face, suddenly tilted his head.
“Why is that?”
“It’s strange that Baron Orlova didn’t follow.”
Elio couldn’t understand what Baron Sofia Orlova was doing.
The Skull Corps dropped Baron Sofia Orlova to Servo.
He said that he was reassigned to a support unit because his swordsmanship was weak, but in his own eyes, it was left by Fabian at the level of the Adria Kingdom.
So, of course, he thought that he would come to Krasion with various excuses.
But she stayed in Servo.
For a person who threw himself at Fabian as soon as they met, the ending was somewhat futile.
Then, Fabian said as if it were natural.
“You don’t know, but this floor is originally like that. It burns hot when we meet, but it’s over when we turn around. If you’re soggy, you’ll get pointed at.”
“What kind of floor is this?”
“A floor that loves like a flame?”
“I am playing. Don’t you know that you reap what you sow? Whatever you sow, you will eventually reap.”
“That is not necessarily the case. If we reap everything we sow, will no one be poor or starve to death? Shouldn’t the end of all the wicked be miserable? Where is it actually? Those are all words invented by someone out of necessity.”
Hearing it, it wasn’t completely wrong, so Elio didn’t refute it.
It was around sunset when the stagecoach arrived in Krasion.
An exclamation flowed from Elio’s mouth as he looked out the window at the city.
“and! There are a lot of people.”
The streets of Krasion, the capital city, were overflowing with ordinary people even during the war.
It was in stark contrast to the cities I had seen so far full of soldiers.
Perhaps it was because of the successful counterattack, the faces of people walking down the street were also bright.
“Iknow, right. It feels more noisy than before. It seems to be because of the victory of Feromuros.”
After a while, the two of them got off the stagecoach and headed to Cusco Castle, where Count Larva Omar and others were staying.
Cuzco Castle.
It was dinner time when Elio and Fabian arrived at Cusco Castle.
As the two entered the dining room, Count Larva Omar and Baron Howard Crea rose from their seats in amazement.
Count Larva Omar greeted me with a friendly face.
“Sir Lagoa, welcome. I was wondering if I should go to Servo even if it wasn’t so, but you came directly.”
“I have to come because I have to meet King Adria about Artenium.”
“You knew that too. I have something to tell you about the matter. Please sit down first. After dinner, I will tell you what I have learned.”
“Maybe?”
After eating only the convenience food provided by the stagecoach for a full day, Elio sat down on an empty seat.
The dinner was rich due to King Raoul Brosnan’s special consideration for the great northern nobility.
Thanks to this, Elio was able to unexpectedly enjoy a great aristocratic dinner.
After the meal, Elio and the others moved to the central hall.
Before the people settled down, Howard looked at Fabian half-jokingly and half-seriously.
“Brother, your complexion is better than when you were here, right? T-pop (city accommodation) food was better than chalet (mountain lodge)?”
Elio interrupted before Fabian could say anything with a puzzled face.
“It’s not about the food.”
“Then the water seems to be good?”
“It’s not even water. I met a girl in Servo.”
“Are you a woman?”
Howard looked back and forth between Baron Fabian and Count Lagoa with startled eyes.
Fabian said with a puzzled face.
“We only met for a few days because our eyes met by chance. don’t mind.”
“Ah, have you met a bar girl?”
When Howard misunderstood, Elio briefly exposed what had happened.
“… Even right before we left, they met and knocked on me to see if my back hurt. They live today as if the world is going to end tomorrow.”
“…”
For an instant, people’s eyes were fixed on Fabian.
Is it possible to do that as soon as we meet on the battlefield? Everyone has an absurd face.
Fabian said as if making excuses.
“Originally, doesn’t war make people desperate and extreme? It’s a light thing that happened after that… It’s like a brightly burning meteor meeting. It was a relationship that ended once it happened. No one else knows, but Count Omar knows what it feels like.”
“I don’t know.”
“…”
Count Larva Omar’s resolute denial made the central hall quiet for a moment.
Count Omar said to Fabian, who blinked at the unexpected answer.
“If it was a story about love, know that I am more like Lord Lagoa than you are.”
He is Count Larva Omar, who meets and marries his first love and lives without a concubine.
Because he was like that, he was serious and opposed to Fabian’s words.
Fabian muttered with a sullen face.
“Am I the only bad person?”
Howard, who was watching between the two stern counts, quietly offered words of comfort.
“I’m sure you’ll settle down with a woman someday, too.”
“Howard. That’s the act of breaking a bird’s wings.”
Elio then frowned and said.
“What kind of wings do dogs have? By the way, Count Omar, you said you had something to say about Artenium earlier. What is it?”
Fabian tried to refute the word ‘dog bird’, but hung his head as the subject was the subject.
“The place where Artenium was purchased from the Mage Tower is the royal family of the Adria Kingdom. To be precise, King Raoul Brosnan bought it through a black market manager named Magenta.”
“What is a black market?”
“The merchant organization that sells the products of the Mage Tower in the shadows is called the Black Market. The manager there made a deal with the king himself.”
“If you meet Magenta, will you be able to tell if he is Ushas Wundra or not?”
“That’s right. The only person who can contact Magenta… Right now, King Raoul Brosnan is the only one.”
“I must meet the King first.”
“Tomorrow morning, I will take you to the palace. If you tell me Lord Lagoa has come, he will come out barefoot to greet you.”
“Ah no way. The southern kingdom army is pushing the imperial army, what are you missing?”
Elio smiled and shook his head.
When the imperial army was doing well, he even arrested Fabian, one of his aides.
Human beings are such a being.
“King Brosnan would. You can tell just by giving us his beloved Cuzco Castle and treating him as a state guest.”
“I have a steel golem and even artenium, so what’s wrong with it?”
“well. I don’t know the details of the Empire and the Southern Kingdom… Anyway, King Brosnan’s attitude toward me hasn’t changed. That must mean that you have expectations for Lord Lagoa.”
“is that so? You’ll know when I see you tomorrow.”
As soon as the conversation between the two ended, Fabian cried out.
“Sir Lagoa, please cancel the dog bird.”
“How is the dog? A dog faithful to its instincts, but at the same time the freedom of a bird flying high in the sky. It’s just right for you.”
“Poop!”
Crea covered her mouth with both hands at the burst of laughter.
Fabian glared at her and said.
“The meaning is good, but the tone is a bit off.”
“Then do your research and let me know. Because I can’t find a better word than a dog.”
Fabian, who had no choice but to back down at Elio’s words, invited the easy-going Howard to find an appropriate expression.
Elio, who had been watching the discussion between the two, got up and went outside.
My heart fluttered at the thought that tomorrow I would find out the location of one of the two people presumed to be Ushas Undra.
There is such a thing as intuition.
If it wasn’t the black market manager who supplied Arthenium to Adria Kingdom, the Mage Tower wizard who gave Arthenium at the right time must be Ushas Undra.
You will find out when you meet Magenta.
Who is Ushas Undra.
Wanting to return to his family as soon as possible, he hoped that Magenta would be Ushas Undra.
***
Royal Krasion.
When the news that Count Helio Lagoa had arrived, King Raoul Brosnan came out to meet the garden with the great nobles.
It was a behavior that he only showed when he greeted the king of the kingdom or the kings of the northern and southern kingdoms.
In the central hall of Krasion Castle, Count Helio Lagoa’s chair was placed next to King Raoul Brosnan’s.
King Raoul Brosnan’s unconventional arrangement of seats opened the mouths of the great nobles of the Adria Kingdom as if they had not been tipped off at all.
Soon after, the head of the royal palace came out and introduced the great nobles of the Adriatic kingdom to Count Elio Lagoa by name one by one.
After a while, the butler finished the introduction and stepped back with a dignified step.
After that, light chatter passed between the king, Elio, and the great nobles.
As the conversation matured to a certain extent, King Raoul Brosnan took a sneak peek.
“For the past seven days, Count Omar has been visiting Mushi and asking various things. Could Count Lagoa’s visit to Krasion have something to do with it?”
Elio didn’t say anything.
“yes.”
“Listen.”
“There is an existence that wants to take advantage of the war between the Empire and the Southern Kingdom.”
“Who is he?”
“I am Shaitin, the evil god.”
“her!”
King Brosnan was speechless at the unexpected name.
I thought it was the emperor of the empire or the king of the south, but is it the evil god Shaitin?
It was a very unexpected name.
“The evil god Shaitin is trying to throw the world into chaos with this war. That’s why I put up Ushas Undra as the vanguard of chaos.”
Elio did not bother to explain the history of the gods.
It’s because it’s a headache if you say it for nothing and get accused of heresy.
“Ushas Undra is a god who follows Mana Phrases…”
King Raoul Brosnan looked at Count Elio Lagoa with an absurd face.
If the opponent wasn’t a grand master, I would have kicked him out right away, saying don’t talk nonsense.
“Ushas Undra voluntarily or involuntarily turned to the side of the evil god Shaytin. I’m sure it was because I met the demons in the Abyss a while ago and confirmed it.”
Having said that, even King Raoul Brosnan could not refute.
“I don’t understand, but why are you saying that to me? I have nothing to do with Shaitin, the evil god, or Ushas Undra.”
“Ushas Undra has materialized as a human and is instigating this war. I’m suspicious of Magenta who sold Arthenium to the Southern Kingdom, or the Wizard of the Mage Tower who developed Arthenium. Because of them, the war has intensified.”
“Huh! this is true I don’t know what to say.”
King Raoul Brosnan, who listened for a while, asked.
“If the relationship between the Count of Lagoa and the Empire was good… Do you know that it would be a good thing to be misunderstood as an agent of the Empire?”
“Me?”
Elio looked at the king with bewildered eyes.
“If Magenta hadn’t sold me the Artenium developed in the Mage Tower, how would the Southern Kingdom’s army have fought and defeated the Imperial Army? The Count is now accusing the benefactors of the Southern Kingdom as the masterminds of the evil god Shaitin.”
“You might think so in the Southern Kingdom, but… Ushas Undra didn’t provide it for the Southern Kingdom. His purpose is to throw the world into chaos.”
“Do you want our southern kingdom to be trampled underfoot by the imperial army?”
“It can’t be.”
“Somehow, it seems like the Imperial Army wants the war to end quickly, so I did it.”
“I…”
Elio was speechless.
Frankly, having nothing to do with the other world, he wasn’t interested in who would win.
King Raoul Brosnan, who was looking at the mouth of Count Lagoa, struck first.
“I know that the people of our southern realm are not willing to submit to the Empire. If Ushas Undra helps the southern kingdom, we can serve Ushas Undra. Isn’t that the right relationship between humans and gods?”
