Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1207. Please consider it my loyalty to Count Lagoa

. The next day.

Fabian appeared in front of Elio and Count Omar of Larva, looking more broken than yesterday.

He didn’t even ask for more time, as if he had given up on finding it.

Elio looked at the visibly drawn man and spoke to him.

“Did you find it?”

“Not at all. I gave up.”

“Isn’t there a secret room?”

“There will be. The sun god couldn’t be broke, right?”

“Maybe I lived without knowing the need.”

“I guess Count Lagoa thinks that the sun god has no treasure?”

“If you couldn’t find it, wouldn’t it be there?”

When Elio asked back, Fabian answered with a face full of regret.

“If I had had enough time, I would have found it.”

“You’re not asking for more time, are you? Isn’t the knight talking twice with one mouth?”

“When did I ask for more time? I am also a person who keeps promises.”

“okay? Would you give it if you asked for more time? But if you don’t like it, I’ll have to leave now.”

Fabian’s face, which had been dying for an instant, became lively.

“Really? Will you give it to me if I ask for more time?”

“You said you kept your promise?”

“If Count Lagoa permits it, is the promise big? Will you give me more time?”

“Tsk tsk! hey hey Because I knew it would be like this! don’t give You must keep what the knight promised.”

Belatedly, Fabian realized that everything was meant to be made fun of by Count Elio Lagoa.

But even knowing that, I couldn’t let go of my expectations.

However, Elio turned away from Fabian’s hot gaze.

After a while, a white cloud formed under the feet of Elio and the others.

As Elio and Count Omar of Larva took the lead, Fabian reluctantly stepped aside as well.

Before long, the clouds carrying Elio’s party soared into the sky.

***

Fiestra.

Hades port.

In the gloomy early evening, white clouds flew over the bleakly empty port.

The cloud settled lightly in the quiet empty lot behind the warehouse where the fishing gear was stored.

After getting off the cloud, Elio and the others walked slowly through the sea breeze tavern.

sea breeze tavern.

When Elio and the others opened the sea breeze tavern door and went in, silence settled in the room.

The sailors of the magic sailboat that returned two days ago said that ‘the northern nobility went missing in the Sea of Magic’.

Disappearance in the Sea of Demons is death.

Two days had passed since they disappeared in the middle of the sea, so no one doubted their deaths.

However, the northern nobles reappeared in the tavern in perfect shape.

Sally approached the hesitant Baron Fabian with a disbelieving expression on her face.

“Baron Fabian Cloud? Are you right?”

“right. Have you already forgotten the face of your regular customer just because you haven’t seen him in days?”

“Were you alive? Aren’t you a ghost?”

“Of course you are alive. Do you think we have lingering attachments to Tavern enough to come back after we die?”

“No. Welcome. Sit over here.”

Sally led the northern nobles to a corner seat that was empty at the right time.

As soon as he sat down, Fabian asked just in case.

“We must still have our luggage at the dorm, right? If you thought it was dead and abandoned it or burned it, you should pay compensation for everything.”

“Even if you don’t, I told you to wait a few more days to throw it away. Don’t worry, the room and luggage are the same.”

“Good. Serve a hearty dinner and see. After eating only combat rations for two days, it seems like my mouth smells hoarse.”

“Yes, please wait a moment. Today’s menu is stew and smoked salmon goose whole.”

When Sally finished speaking, she went into the kitchen, and the silent guests started talking again.

Count Larva Omar, who was drinking tea, opened his mouth as if he had suddenly remembered.

“By now, the southern border would be blocked. Thinking back, Lord Lagoa was given a title by the Empire. If it wasn’t for that, the road to the South wouldn’t have been smooth.”

Fabian shook his head as if he agreed.

“you’re right. Even if I were in the Imperial Army, a northern noble would look at me with suspicion if I went south. In that sense, people in the south would really hate Count Lagoa’s visit, right?”

“Why me?”

“You also have the status of an Imperial Count now, don’t you? You might think Count Lagoa is working for the Empire. There was a definite reason that it was after the warlock, but it wasn’t the Abyss, right? They will surely misunderstand that you are here to investigate the iron golem. Would you believe me if I said no?”

“It is like that again.”

Elio nodded, and Fabian continued.

“The nobles of the north wouldn’t like to come and go, but since they’ve even been given the title of empire… they’ll try to interfere with our work at every turn.”

“Could I go that far?”

“It remains. They are people who are at war with the empire. There will be nothing to see now.”

Count Larva Omar also helped out.

“There is a point in what Baron Fabian said. The South is hiding information about the Iron Golem from the North as well. In the case of Lord Lagoa, since it is close to the northern part of the country as well as the empire, he will be more vigilant.”

“…”

Elio scratched his head at the two’s point.

There was no difficulty in finding the perforation star because the empire tolerated it.

Or rather, the Empire even tried to help find the perforation.

It was because there was a justification to ‘find the mastermind behind the black magician who went to the sky’.

But Abyss is different.

Finding Ushas Undra is purely for personal purposes.

Besides, it is clear that the Southern Kingdoms—with the steel golem in hand—don’t want any change in the Abyss.

If he knew that he was trying to kill Ushas Undra, he might block the Great Forest.

Fabian said, apparently having similar thoughts.

“Don’t even mention the story of Ushas Undra to the southern nobles. Then you will not be able to step into the real Great Forest.”

“Is that right?”

“Absolutely. Even if I say I’m a southern aristocrat, I won’t stop.”

“Then what do you say?”

“You have to enter the Abyss first, so register as an adventurer first.”

“Adventurer Registration? Is there such a thing?”

“If mercenaries are autonomous organizations, adventurers are organizations managed by the central government. Like mercenaries, adventurers also get a separate registration card.”

“Is it possible in Fiestra?”

“It will be. You can register as an adventurer at the police station.”

“Isn’t the procedure complicated?”

“The identification process is not complicated and registration is simple. There is no support, only obligation. From the emperor or lord’s point of view, it’s something to be thankful for.”

“What duty?”

“Because I have to report the treasure I excavated. It is said that it is a system created to prevent trade in stolen goods. You can trade without reporting it. There are also more treasures that are traded in backdoor transactions like that.”

“There’s nothing wrong with reporting it, right?”

“If the lord or the emperor has an eye on it, you have to hand it over at a bargain price, right?”

“aha!”

Only then did Elio know why there were more behind-the-scenes transactions than reports.

“What happens if you find the treasure and don’t report it?”

“If someone steals it, you can never find it. It’s stolen, but it’s a fair trade. Even if the original owner finds it later, he cannot claim ownership.”

“You’d better report it.”

“It depends on what kind of treasure it is. Take the iron golem as an example. I unearthed an iron golem. If you report it to the government office, you must hand it over to the lord at a low price. But if you sell it on the black market, you’ll have a huge amount in your hands. It’s risky, but the benefits to be gained are just as great? Adventurers call it ‘high risk high return’.”

“If the risk is great, the return is also great?”

“That’s right.”

“They are real men. Then, what if the treasure is stolen and the life is lost?”

“Most adventurers prefer to go short and thick rather than thin and long.”

“okay. That means registering is easy.”

“Yes, just write down your name and they will issue an adventurer certificate. With that, you can safely pass through any territory in any kingdom like a mercenary. No one can block an adventurer’s entry without good reason. Didn’t you try to stop it by force, and then a war broke out?”

“But if you think of it the other way around, since there is a war anyway, you can block adventurers from entering, right?”

Count Omar of Larva sneaked in.

“It is not completely blocked. If it did, it would have risen up in the Northern Kingdom. It was just a change from being able to enter the Abyss freely after reporting it to a permission system. The Empire’s adventurers were rarely given permission.”

“Then can we register as northern adventurers?”

“Me and Baron Fabian must go to the Northern Kingdom to register as adventurers. The Imperial Security Service does not register northern kingdom nobles as adventurers. In the case of Lord Lagoa, he will be registered as an Imperial Adventurer.”

“this!”

Elio let out a sigh.

If you are an adventurer in the north, it will be difficult for you to bet on the southern kingdom, but it has become difficult.

Count Larva Omar continued to speak to Count Elio Lagoa, who could not hide his disappointment.

“Still, in the case of Baron Fabian and I, there will be no restrictions on access to the Great Forest. It’s still an ally, the nobles of the north. Even if we are vigilant, we will not be able to prevent them from entering.”

“Then don’t I have to register as an adventurer too?”

“Only adventurers can enter the Abyss. That’s why Baron Fabian asked you to register as an adventurer.”

“Ah Fabian, you know that, why didn’t you tell me about registering as an adventurer in the North?”

Fabian replied with a puzzled face.

“You said you were looking for the Sky Star before that, didn’t you? For thousands of years no one had found the Celestial Star, so the Abyss didn’t care. Still, it’s not like there’s no way to get an adventurer’s registration card.”

“Is it issued in the Southern Kingdom?”

“Not at all. What do they know about me, would you publish that?”

“But how do you get it?”

“There is an adventurer’s village in the Great Grove. You can get it on the black market there.”

“Are you going to buy a fake adventurer registration card?”

“It’s not fake, it’s real. I buy what someone else issued.”

“That’s what it sounds like. We have different identities, is that possible?”

“How do you know who the men guarding the entrance are? I’ll just check the authenticity of the adventurer’s certificate. Isn’t that what life is all about?”

Elio said with an absurd face.

“So you’re saying you’re going to buy someone else’s certificate and commit fraud?”

“It’s not a scam. Why do you say that a certificate purchased with legitimate money is fraudulent? Then leave us in the Great Forest and go into the Abyss alone.”

“Wow! You really have a thick face.”

“Think of it as my loyalty to Count Lagoa.”

Fabian raised his head and looked at Count Elio Lagoa.

Don’t you know if there is no way?

What are you worried about when you can’t find anything you can’t find on the black market in Adventurer’s Village?
