Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1334. At the words of the Iron

Corps commander, Viscount Iron Bert, chief of staff of the 30th Division, said nothing.

It is undoubtedly a somewhat far-fetched claim, but there were also questionable circumstances.

Count Helio Lagoa and Count Larva Omar annihilated the Scorpion Company.

No matter how great aristocrat, it is an act of crossing the line to punish a company of the Imperial Army on the battlefield.

The commander could have been arrested and brought before the imperial court.

No, if the company commander was Baron Hank Stauran, it was natural.

Because he has the right to be judged according to imperial law.

Moreover, the assailant was not the imperial army, but a great aristocrat.

Count Helio Lagoa does not have the authority to summarily dispose of the Scorpion Company.

Count Larva Omar, a great nobleman in the north, is more.

It is an issue that could lead to a fight between the Baylem Kingdom and the Empire.

Nevertheless, Count Helio Lagoa’s party immediately disposed of the Scorpion Company.

Corps Commander Theo Stauran, who lost his son in an illegal way, deserves to jump.

But even so, it is unreasonable to publicize this case.

This is because various war crimes committed by the Imperial Army in the southern kingdom villages could be highlighted.

That’s why the Stagecoach Association, which suffered damage, suggested turning it over to the resistance and covering it up.

Thinking that far, Chief of Staff Iron Burt opened his mouth.

“As the corps commander said, there are suspicious parts in Count Lagoa’s actions. With his ability, he could have brought the Scorpion Company before the Imperial Court without being punished.”

“That makes sense.”

“But the problem is that there is no evidence to support the corps commander’s words.”

“Because Count Lagoa has executed all the witnesses against him.”

“…”

Chief of Staff Iron Burt kept his mouth shut.

This is something everyone knows about.

He waited for new words to come out of the corps commander’s mouth.

“I’m thinking of asking the Imperial Army intelligence unit to investigate. It makes no sense to cover up the slaughter of the Scorpion Company with reports from the Stagecoach Society. If you investigate the passengers, you’ll find out why the Count of Lagoa made an irrational move. Tell your lazy and foolish superior (commander of the 30th division) my will.”

Chief of Staff Iron Burt, who could not bear to say ‘yes’ to the insulting remarks about his superiors, quietly bowed and withdrew.

***

Adriatic kingdom.

Harkit, south of Feromuros.

The stagecoach passengers who survived the dead arrived at their original destination, the trading city of Harkit, in a new stagecoach sent by the Stagecoach Association.

Half of the passengers stayed in Harkit and the other half took another stagecoach to the north.

Elio and his party, who had to find the ‘vanguard of chaos’, remained in Harkit.

It is only half a day from Harkit to Pheromuros.

Perhaps that’s why Harkit was also teeming with heavily armed Imperial troops.

Elio and Fabian, who had been living in the barracks for a long time in northern Hirhera, were not awkward in a city full of Imperial troops.

However, Count Larva Omar and others seemed a little concerned.

In particular, Howard and Crea were even slightly nervous when a platoon-sized Imperial army approached.

I wondered if he had come because of the Scorpion Company’s business.

While walking down the street, Elio went under the shade of a tree to avoid the hot southern sun.

No matter how incurable the body is, it is because the skin burns when exposed to the hot sunlight for a long time.

Entering the shade, Fabian made a fuss.

“Wow! It seems to live. At times like this, I really miss the North. Isn’t it?”

Elio and Count Larva Omar nodded in agreement.

As the imperial soldiers passing by glanced at Crea, Fabian muttered as if he understood.

“Oh! Poor guys. Whether it be fighting the enemy or fighting loneliness, there is a lot of hardship.”

Then Howard said something.

“Isn’t it lust, not solitude, brother?”

“You’ve never lived in Yeongji-kun’s life, have you?”

“yes.”

“Try it later. Then you will know.”

“…”

said Crea to Howard, who tilted his head.

“Brother, please don’t live with Youngji.”

“why?”

“You have to stay away from me.”

“Ah…”

Belatedly, Howard recognized the meaning behind Fabian’s words.

“I will not. Even so, Commander will be fine. Yes? older brother?”

“Unless a major event occurs and they are not summoned.”

“What kind of incident?”

“Something like the Battle of the Territory or the cracks in the ice wall that we have to protect. In that situation, the commander can’t say he’s going home.”

“Ah, that’s natural. I am not such a ruthless person.”

While listening to the chat between the two, Elio suddenly spoke to Count Larva Omar.

“Imperial soldiers look bright. Shall we give up the Abyss monopoly in the Southern Kingdom?”

“It won’t be easy. If an iron golem falls into the Empire’s hands, you’ll think you’ll have to live with the Empire forever.”

“You mean the war won’t end easily?”

“Empires who won the war will also present harsh conditions different from before. The cost the defeated country will have to pay is greater than expected.”

“It won’t be easy this way or that.”

“That’s why the empire must have brought out even the dead excitium.”

“Now that the Imperial Army has tasted the excitium… it will be difficult to bury it again, right?”

“Even if the Empire blocks it, it will be solved through black trade. The era dominated by knights and wizards will soon come to an end.”

“It doesn’t have to be made at the Mage Tower. In the long run, it is harmful to wizards, so why make and sell it?”

“Magic Engineers have a slightly different position from wizards. The treatment is also different. Magic engineers’ magic skills are far behind that of traditional wizards. Some orthodox wizards treat magic engineers as blacksmiths. Leaving aside everything else, in the case of a magic engineer, there is nothing to lose due to excitium. Even if there is, the benefit outweighs the loss. I gave up on honor right away, and excitium becomes a lot of money.”

“Is this an irreversible wave?”

“That’s right. The efficacy of excitium has been sufficiently proven, so it will not be able to stop it.”

Howard interjected.

“Then will musketeers be treated more favorably than knights?”

“It will be. A skilled musketeer would be able to blow away at least a sword expert in one shot. Sword Master is a bit difficult though.”

“Wow. Should I become a musketeer too?”

Crea helped out with a word.

“I heard that there are many articles that have changed positions to musketeers these days. Still, I won’t let go of the sword.”

“why? Do you think women would be more likely to be shot by a musketeer physically?”

“Because I have to pass on the swordsmanship of Luna Mylus to the next generation. If I become a musketeer here… Luna Mylus-sama’s swordsmanship will also disappear.”

“oh! such a deep meaning. Since I also have to pass on Lord Lagoa’s swordsmanship, the musketeer is giving up.”

At the word “give up,” Elio narrowed his eyes.

“Howard.”

“yes?”

“It’s free to become a musketeer, but don’t you think it’s easy to succeed as a musketeer?”

“Isn’t it just a matter of receiving the blessing of mana?”

“Tsk tsk! I thought so. I’ve never fired a gun before, so don’t say that. Explain to me what it takes to succeed as a Fabian Musketeer.”

“yes! Howard. Does anyone become a Sword Master immediately after receiving the Blessing of Mana?”

“It can’t be.”

“It is the same. A musketeer must first shoot the magic gun well. If you shoot a target with your magic gun, how many out of 10 do you think you can hit?”

“If you can’t do it, won’t you get half of it right?”

“To succeed as a musketeer, you have to hit all ten shots. It has to be born.”

“You will have to try.”

“Not everyone can become a sword master by working hard. So does the musketeer. Of course, starting out is easier than swordsmanship… but standing at the top is as difficult as becoming a sword master.”

“Oh is that so?”

“uh. So please don’t say ‘I gave up being a musketeer to inherit Lord Lagoa’s swordsmanship’. When the musketeers at the top hear it, they laugh at you inwardly.”

Howard said with a frown on his face.

“I just said it… My thoughts were short.”

“And Lord Lagoa’s swordsmanship… no.”

Fabian also didn’t like Howard’s mention of Count Helio Lagoa’s swordsmanship.

No one jokes about the swordsmanship of the Archduke Knauf.

Even if you learn just one swordsmanship of the Grand Duke of Knauf, it is regarded as a family treasure.

But to joke with Count Helio Lagoa’s superior swordsmanship.

From Fabian’s point of view, it was an act that could not be understood at all.

Belatedly, Howard realized his mistake and hurriedly looked at Count Elio Lagoa.

Elio, who had been watching the passing clouds with an indifferent face, got up from his seat.

Soon after, Elio and Count Omar of Larva took to the streets.

Fabian followed closely behind the two of them.

Howard and Crea, who had fallen behind, looked at each other with embarrassed faces.

Howard was the first to speak.

“Do you think I made a mistake?”

“I don’t know. Because of you, even I became a strange person for no reason.”

“What did I do?”

“I said that because I really wanted to inherit Luna Mylus-sama’s swordsmanship. Like my older brother joked, that doesn’t mean I can’t be a musketeer.”

“When did I say something like that?”

“Depending on what I heard, it could have sounded like that. It’s like when the trend is a musketeer, but I had no choice but to choose Lord Lagoa’s swordsmanship.”

“I? no. am i crazy I just said it to the effect that I, like you, should master Lord Lagoa’s swordsmanship.”

“My older brother said, ‘Since I also have to pass on Lord Lagoa’s swordsmanship, being a musketeer is a given.’ Giving up is kind of like that. I feel reluctant… Sir Lagoa must have been in a bad mood.”

“Wow, I’ll turn. I didn’t really mean that.”

“My brother Fabian seems to be living comfortably with Lord Lagoa… but he keeps the line even if it looks dangerous.”

“Did I cross the line in your opinion?”

“Think about it yourself. My brother was always envious of the friendship between Brother Fabian and Lord Lagoa.”

“So you went out too much without me knowing?”

“no?”

“…”

Howard let out a long sigh.

When I heard it, it seemed right.

At first, it was difficult for Count Helio Lagoa and Count Larva Omar, but after coming out of the Abyss, they became as comfortable as their families.

So just now, Count Lagoa and Count Omar were by my side, and I said that.

Considering that Count Elio Lagoa is the Grand Master and has the ability to kill even a god, he deserves to die in front of him.

“They say you can’t figure out the subject if the favor lasts… I’m like that.”

“It’s not that much, just be a little careful.”

“A fool like me deserves to die.”

“Do it in moderation. It just seems so insincere.”

“Is that so?”

Before Crea could answer, Fabian, who was walking ahead, turned around and said.

“From what I see, you are overly self-conscious. How much do you think your weight will be in Lord Lagoa’s mind? you are the dust that blows in the wind So just do what you do and live.”
