Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1381. His Excellency, Earl

of Lagoa, please lead the northern kingdom forces.

“Viscount.”

For Fabian, the baron of the Kingdom of Escatos, the court mage, Viscount Osborne Carlos, was a very difficult person.

Viscount Osborne Carlos nodded at Fabian, then met eyes with Count Helio Lagoa again.

Elio also got up from his seat.

Considering his long relationship with Viscount Osborne Carlos, it was natural.

“long time no see. I’ve been fine. Have a seat.”

At Elio’s words, Fabian sneaked aside and gave up his seat.

Eventually, Viscount Osborne Carlos sat down and asked Elio curiously.

“How is Hirhera’s situation? Since I am in the Empire, I can’t find out from the northern news.”

“The ice wall has been completely restored. So most of the soldiers in the Hirhera Garrison returned to their territory. Now, only one company remains to watch over the garrison. The soldiers are gone, so only the merchants in the garrison village are going crazy.”

“Ah… that’s how it ended up.”

Elio shook his head.

I knew that the Hirhera Garrison would decline at any moment.

A city was suddenly created as Gnostic soldiers gathered because of the rift, but honestly, it’s not a place for a person named Hirhe to live.

As the rift disappeared, the army of the Northern Kingdom returned, so the city would soon fall.

It is an unbelievable reality that a city develops only when a crisis comes.

Suddenly, Viscount Osborne Carlos turned to Baron Fabian Cloud.

“Oh and Baron Cloud. Do you remember Sir Sera?”

“yes?”

“Sir Sarah Lore, Musketeer of the Phantom Knights.”

“Yes, of course I remember.”

Then Osborne Carlos continued with a meaningful face.

“When the baron was discharged, he was sent down to the territory, but he returned to the Phantom Knights not too long ago.”

“….”

“Aren’t you curious about the reason?”

“Why did you go back?”

“They say they returned because they couldn’t reach the baron. You seem to be out of touch with the baron in the estate? That’s not wrong. Because you can come to the palace and deliver the news through me. get it It is a letter from her.”

Viscount Osborne Carlos took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Fabian.

Fabian received the letter with an embarrassed face.

Seeing Fabian like that, Viscount Osborne Carlos said with a confused face.

“Sir Sera is said to be in love with the baron. If it was Lord Sera’s one-sided courtship, I must have done something funny in the middle.”

At the overly self-deprecating words, Elio glanced at Viscount Osborne Carlos.

Entrusting the letter to the court mage would have made them very close.

If that was the case, it was clear that those words were turning Fabian’s attitude around and rebuking him.

Elio took the place of Fabian, who was at a loss.

“It’s true that the two of you dated when you were in Hirhera. I saw everything from the side.”

“I’m glad then. I was just regretting that I had done something wrong.”

Viscount Osborne Carlos, the court mage, trembled.

In the end, Elio shredded the truth.

“Baron Fabian is a bit cheating. Everywhere I go, I see only beautiful women, and I giggle. She said that it was okay because Lord Sera would have forgotten her.”

“Oops. Sir Sera is not that kind of person… what is this?”

The gazes of Elio and Viscount Osborne Carlos turned to Fabian.

Fabian’s mouth, which had been tightly shut like a clam, finally opened.

“It’s all my fault. I will write a reply to Sir Sera. If Viscount Carlos can help me one more time… I’d appreciate it.”

Then, Viscount Osborne Carlos nodded happily.

“Okay. There is nothing difficult about that kind of work.”

When Fabian’s work was finished, Elio changed the subject.

“By the way, what is the court mage of the Escatos Kingdom doing all the way here? I bet you didn’t come here to deliver a love letter.”

“Actually, I came to see you because I have something to tell you, but there are too many people around…”

“Please go up to our room.”

“Won’t the sound leak out?”

So secret was the story that Viscount Osborne Carlos did not intend to move.

Elio smiled and said.

“I can block out the speech. It’s possible here too, but I was afraid that others would think it was strange, so I asked to go to my room.”

“ah! If so, please show me to your room.”

At the words of Viscount Osborne Carlos, Elio rose from his seat.

After a while, Elio went up to the lodging on this floor and blocked the sound with his aura.

“You may speak now.”

At the Grand Master’s assurance, Viscount Osborne Carlos took his luck without hesitation.

“First of all, I would like to inform you that His Highness Escatos IV has elevated the title of Sir Elio Lagoa to Count. In accordance with his title, he additionally bestowed Hirhera as a fiefdom. Now, I can say that the count’s estate is larger than that of the Marquis Bernardo in terms of area alone. Of course, there are more useless lands.”

Elio just stared blankly at Marquis Osborne Carlos.

In any case, titles and territories did not mean much to him.

When I go back to my hometown, what am I going to do with all the things I want to leave behind?

“Of course, I am well aware that His Excellency, Countess of Lagoa, is not greedy for title or territory. In the meantime, there was a lot of talk inside and outside the palace about giving the hero of Escatos a title lower than that of the Empire. I would appreciate it if you could understand it on that level.”

“Isn’t that all?”

Elio looked at Viscount Osborne Carlos with meaningful eyes.

Is there anything free in this world?

just as expected?

“I heard that there is a conflict with the Imperial Army. And that you’re at odds with the crown prince. Is it true?”

“you’re right. It was because I accidentally destroyed a legion that the crown prince cherished.”

“The crown prince is the one who will succeed Dexter Fraser II as emperor. There is no person in the imperial family who can replace him, and since the great nobles support him, there is no problem with his enthronement.”

“They said so.”

“Since you became an enemy of such a crown prince… the title you received in the empire won’t last long.”

Viscount Osborne Carlos approached cautiously as to what he was about to say.

“does not matter. I said I would return the title to the Empire first.”

“Did something like that happen?”

Viscount Osborne Carlos’s expression softened.

I wondered if the Grand Master would be lost to the Empire, but it’s good that it’s the opposite.

“If I do anything, I’ll be bitten by rebellion or whatever. So from now on, I will not be an imperial count, but only a northern nobleman, so I told him to take the title.”

“Good job. Give up your imperial title at this point.”

“Did you come to say that?”

“Relations between the Empire and the Northern Kingdom are getting worse.”

“Really?”

Elio asked with a surprised face.

Why would an empire at war with the Southern Kingdoms even touch the Northern Kingdoms?

“Not too long ago, the northern kingdoms sent envoys to the empire to mediate peace. As a result, I was rejected and returned. The Empire had no intention of ending war with the southern kingdoms. Their goal is the complete occupation of the southern kingdoms.”

“You mean the Southern Kingdom, not the Abyss?”

“That’s right. At first, the northern kingdoms also thought the Abyss was their goal… but this time they found out for sure. Their goal is to destroy the southern royal family and establish a principality. The Southern Kingdom is followed by the Northern Kingdom. That’s why the northern kingdoms are also gathering armies.”

“Are you going to war with the Empire?”

Elio narrowed his eyes.

If the Southern Kingdom and the Northern Kingdom enter the war, war will sweep the entire continent.

It is nothing compared to the conflict between the Empire and the Southern Kingdom.

There will be total chaos.

“If the southern kingdom perishes, then it will be the turn of the northern kingdom. The Northern Kingdoms concluded that ‘If war cannot be avoided, it is right to do so now that the Imperial Army’s power is scattered.’”

“Have you already made up your mind?”

“That’s right. So, I have come to request that Your Excellency Count lead the Northern Kingdom forces.”

“No… I’ve been patient until now, but why…”

Elio’s heart was heavy.

It’s not that I don’t know the position of the Northern Kingdom, but it’s still a sudden war!

“If you don’t know the purpose of the empire, don’t you? You can’t be foolish enough to wait for your turn, knowingly, can you?”

Elio couldn’t resist.

It was a sudden thing, but from the point of view of the northern kingdoms, it could have been enough.

It would be an idiot to remain silent when he said he would get rid of the royal family and rule the empire.

“For the future of the Kingdom of Escatos and the Northern Kingdom, Count Lagoa, please lead the Northern Kingdom Army.”

Court wizard Osborne Carlos looked at Count Helio Lagoa with burning eyes.

The reason he came down to Jedo was to convey these words.

After thinking for a while, Elio said.

“I see what you mean… I cannot get involved in this war.”

“May I ask why?”

“You know that I’ve been chasing the people behind the rift all this time, right?”

“yes.”

“While chasing behind the rift, I learned something. The rift and the current war were fought for one purpose.”

“A purpose?”

“There is an entity that wants to throw this world into chaos. This is how the rifts and wars were created.”

“Who is that being? What do you get by throwing this world into chaos?”

“I am Shaitin, the evil god. I am trying to return this world to its pre-manaphras state.”

At those words, Viscount Osborne Carlos tilted his head.

Manaphthras created this world, but what was its previous state?

Elio briefly told the story he had heard from Antar, the demon god.

“…I intend to bring peace to this world by eradicating Ushas Undra, the ‘vanguard of chaos’. My participation in the war will only increase confusion.”

“I have heard your Excellency the Count’s words. But if the person who said that is the god of the demons… shouldn’t we examine whether it’s true or false? I may have confused His Excellency with false information.”

“If the demon god hadn’t lied… the world would be headed for destruction. Moreover, it is also my mission to eliminate the ‘vanguard of chaos’.”

Viscount Osborne Carlos looked at Count Lagoa with a rather absurd face.

Do It Now it’s a mission.

‘Looking at his expression, I’m not just saying…’

I was going to take him to the Northern Kingdom, but I guess that was wrong.

“I understand your Excellency’s intentions. It’s unfortunate, but since this is our mission, we have to make concessions. As for me, I earnestly ask that His Excellency the Count remember our Escatos kingdom and its people.”

“I am also always grateful for the relationship with the Escatos Kingdom.”

After the story, Viscount Osborne Carlos turned to Baron Fabian Cloud.

“I will leave at dawn tomorrow. Have your reply ready by then.”

“yes.”

Elio asked as Viscount Osborne Carlos got up from his seat.

“Last time, Marquis Bernardo came. How is the Marquis?”

“You are fine. This time, the Marquis is busy reorganizing the army… but everyone stopped him because his face is known to the Empire. Compared to that, wizards don’t do anything, and they don’t get much attention these days, so it’s easy to come and go. haha.”

Elio smiled wryly without realizing it.
