Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1198. I will go with you until the end.

Marquis Claude Bernardo tried hard to look at Count Elio Lagoa with calm eyes.

In fact, Escatos IV and the great nobles of the Northern Kingdom were trembling in fear that he might invade the Northern Kingdom from the side of the Empire.

Some even said that Count Helio Lagoa was the second coming of Archduke Hannes Knauf, who was called the God of War during the Imperial War fifty years ago.

Elio asked with a puzzled face.

“ah! Is that already known to the Escatos Kingdom?”

In fact, the news of Helio’s cultivation spread to the empire and kingdom at an unprecedented speed, but only the person concerned was unaware of it.

“The Empire sent a notice via magic communication not only to Escatos but also to the entire Northern Kingdom. It was the first time since the Imperial War that the Empire had sent magic communications to all of the Northern Kingdoms. That’s why some people said, ‘I thought the Empire was declaring war’.”

“ha ha ha! Declaration of war? that was a bit harsh The empire is at war with the southern kingdoms, but what kind of spirit is it to declare war on the northern kingdoms…”

Elio tried to assure him that ‘that will not happen’, but his words became blurry.

There were some things that he didn’t know about the atmosphere of the great aristocrats of the empire yet, but it was difficult to say anything after knowing about the crown prince.

“Considering the imperial people’s ambition to hold the entire continent in their hands, it’s not a useless worry. As a result, it is my honest feeling that I am not comfortable hearing the news of the title of Count of Lagoa.”

Elio nodded as if he understood, then opened his mouth.

“I was given the title because I wanted to prevent the escalation of the war, contrary to the concerns of the great northern nobility.”

Elio explained a series of recent events in the Empire.

“…If I defeat the Grand Duchess of Knauf, the northern kingdoms might join hands with the southern kingdoms and enter the war, so I asked the empire for reinforcements. However, life in the Northern Kingdom is so strange to think of it backwards.”

The Marquis Claude Bernardo, who had been listening with a nod, asked again.

“By the way. Is there any chance of the opposite happening?”

“Against it?”

“Since the Count of Lagoa has been given the title of the Empire… I’m saying this because I want to be able to invade the North with peace of mind in the Empire.”

“Ah, war with the southern kingdom didn’t seem easy, so should we invade the northern kingdom?”

“Is it true that the Empire is struggling in the South?”

“Do you know why there was a war between the Empire and the Southern Kingdom?”

“I heard that many steel golems, strategic weapons of the age of sorcery, were found in the Abyss, and the southern kingdoms were controlling access to the Great Forest to monopolize them.”

“that’s right. But lately the Imperial Army seems to be struggling on the southern front. Did Count Omar think that the southern kingdoms used that iron golem? Didn’t the Count say that last time?”

Elio asked Count Omar of Larva as if to confirm.

Count Larva Omar nodded his head kindly.

“Yes, if the Imperial Army struggles in the south, I don’t think there is any other reason.”

At that moment, a quiet voice flowed from the mouth of the Marquis Claude Bernardo.

“Hmm! If it’s an iron golem, there’s a good chance. One steel golem has the destructive power equivalent to one sword master.”

“Are you that strong?”

“A magic gun or magic cannon cannot pierce the steel golem’s skin. In order to destroy the shell, you have to hit the same spot constantly, but that’s not as easy as it sounds… it’s almost impossible. If the Sword Master gets close and cuts the same spot several times with the mana blade, then the outer shell is destroyed… Until then, the steel golem doesn’t wait quietly, and if there are other steel golems nearby, the Sword Master can’t approach it, so it’s truly invincible. You can.”

“Incredible. Anyway, I think yes. Right now the Empire is struggling on the southern front, so you won’t be able to turn your eyes to the Northern Kingdom.”

“I feel a little relieved to hear what Count Lagoa said. If that’s true, the northern kingdoms will also try to send adventurers to the Great Forest, but I don’t know how the southern kings will react.”

“If the southern kingdoms intend to monopolize, they will block entry, right? Or you could condition it to join the war against the Empire.”

“Do you think there is no possibility of just opening it?”

“If it were the Marquis, would you share it for free when you went to war with the empire to eat it alone?”

A bitter smile appeared on the face of the Marquis Claude Bernardo.

‘It can’t be.’

Then, what choices will the great nobles of the Northern Kingdom make?

To keep up with the turbulent times, you must acquire the Iron Golem.

Shall we join hands with the southern kingdoms, traditional blood alliances, to fight the Empire?

Or will they try to force their way into the Great Forest with the Empire?

‘I don’t know if the Empire will allow the Northern Kingdom to intervene before that.’

Marquis Claude Bernardo shook his head.

My head was already dizzy thinking about the problem of the great forest.

next day.

Marquis Claude Bernardo’s party boarded an airship and left Fiesta.

The Sea Breeze Tavern, which was filled with knights, had a regular guest again.

As the weather got colder, Elio and the others didn’t go out of the sea breeze tavern.

Compared to Hirhera, it was spring weather, but it was because the ice was frozen outside.

The fact that there were no other places to go from Hades Port also played a role.

Elio and the others had been seated by the window since morning and did not move.

All he had to do was order Sally a beer or a snack once in a while.

In the afternoon, too, Sally put down her snacks and said,

“Where are you not going?”

Then Fabian asked with a greasy face.

“Do you have anywhere to go?”

“Go to the beach and watch the waves.”

“When you go out on a boat, you get tired of watching it. What else are you going to see?”

“Or go see the lighthouse. The lighthouse in Hades Port is famous even in the Empire.”

“I get sick of seeing it every time I enter the port.”

“Do you know that seeing from afar is the same as seeing from up close? How beautiful is it when you see it up close?”

“Will you keep the window seat until we get back?”

“I can’t do that. How can a mere clerk stop someone from wanting to sit down?”

“Then don’t go. Aren’t you going? Counts?”

Elio and Count Larva Omar nodded.

They could see the lighthouse in detail from a sailboat, so there was no reason to do so.

Sitting in one place for a long time can make your body uncomfortable.

Elio changed his posture, but did not get up from his seat until the end.

Compared to him, Count Larva Omar looked like a stone statue.

Fabian said a word to Elio, who was wriggling like a man with a body.

“If you’re tired, go to your room and lie down for a bit, then come back.”

“What are you struggling with?”

“I’m telling you this because you don’t stay still like a sick person.”

“Is it because of the back you hurt last time? Look at your back.”

Elio showed his back to Fabian.

“I am fine. As if burned by fire, only the scars from the magic bullets were left.”

“okay?”

Elio dressed again and suddenly tore his hair.

“iced coffee! boring. boring. When I meet this son of a bitch, Kama Debias, I turn it to dust.”

“I will see you soon. Didn’t you discover the green island after a month last time? It will appear again on this voyage.”

“Is that right? Wasn’t it about a month then?”

“Yes, but shouldn’t we also prepare for sirens and storms?”

“It’s all set up.”

“But why don’t I know? Do you know Count Omar?”

Fabian turned his gaze to Count Omar of Larva.

“I don’t know. Lord Lagoa, is it something we shouldn’t know about?”

Elio shook his head at the question of Count Omar of Larva.

“no. You can find out. No big deal. When the green island appears, I plan to fly to Tornuvis. I don’t think it would be possible with a magic sailboat.”

Then Fabian intervened.

“Are you going alone? Take Count Omar and me with you. We went through high school together until now, but you shouldn’t go alone at a crucial moment. isn’t it? Count Omar?”

“Baron Fabian’s words are kind. Please take me and Baron Fabian too.”

Elio looked at Count Omar and Fabian with ambiguous eyes.

“It’s not a problem to take him… but it’s because I don’t know what will happen. If Kama Debias has fully regained his body power, it will not be an easy opponent for me either.”

Then Fabian said coolly.

“What will happen to me that will make me die? I think I’ll regret it for the rest of my life if I don’t go to Celestial Star because I’m afraid of it. Please take Count Omar and me with you.”

Elio asked Count Omar of Larva.

“I told you. could die Will you still come with me?”

“Like Baron Fabian said, if I send only Lord Lagoa, I think I will regret it for the rest of my life. I will go with you until the end.”

When even Count Omar of Larva said so, Elio could not bear to refuse.

For the knights of another world, Sky is an adventure worthy of risking their lives.

“All right. Then, when you see the green island or the extreme weather is certain… Come to my side right away. I will fly to Tornubis. Fabian you too. If it’s messy, I’ll leave it.”

“yes.”

Fabian replied courageously.

I don’t know if I feel the same way when I fly through a storm.

***

Next morning.

Elio and the others boarded the magic sailboat again and went out to sea.

The sailors also had quite determined faces, as if they were feeling this voyage.

The feeling of the sea in winter is different from autumn.

Even in the middle of the day, the cold and dreary feeling is far from refreshing.

Maybe that’s why the expression of Elio and the others gathered at the bow was also somewhat gloomy.

Looking at the waves crashing against the bow, Fabian muttered to himself.

“If you fall into the winter sea, you will freeze to death, right?”

Elio glanced back at him.

“Why are you thinking of dropping out?”

“If the storm is strong, it may fall. Didn’t one of the sailors fall out last time too?”

Just in time, the wave that hit the side rocked the magic sailboat once.

As his upper body shook, Fabian made a fuss with a worried face.

“Oops! It’s not easy from the start this time, right?”

“I know. How suspicious is the weather? At a time like this, if the weather overlaps… you’re going to go back?”

“Why do you say such a thing? Isn’t it said that words become seeds? Please refrain from saying such things, even if they are empty words.”

Fabian looked in all directions with anxious eyes.

Unlike before, the strong wind made the swaying of the waves unusual.

just as expected?

Captain Althelm, who was stuck in the wheelhouse, hurriedly approached the bow.

“My gentlemen, the wind is getting stronger little by little. Can I leave the Sea of Demons for a while and come back after the wind has stopped?”

“That would be better, right? What should I do, Count?”

Fabian looked at Count Elio Lagoa for the first time in a while.

Normally, I would pretend to be bold, but seeing the bloody winter sea, my liver shrank.

No, more than anything, it felt cheap.

If the extreme weather was added to this, it seemed that someone would surely die.
