Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 1489

Episode 1489. What is your relationship with the Count…?

Elio went south using Tornubis.

After he left the kingdom of Escatos he again used the stagecoach.

This is because they have no sense of direction and do not know anything about the Kingdom of Valelum.

He said that even though it was the same north the passage to the south was safer.

This is thanks to the large-scale subjugation of the Northern Kingdoms Allied Forces a few months ago.

I could hear the cries of a demonic beast from a distant mountain but that was all.

Elio thought about grabbing the beast from inside the carriage but left it alone.

He didn’t want to draw people’s attention while holding the horse and returning to the carriage… That was an excuse and he was exhausted now.

Although he did not show it to Fabian and others the conquest of the Abyss left indelible scars on his mind and body.

This is because while he was devastated by Abranath’s curse he was betrayed by Archduke Knauf and Sync Lair.

He eventually destroyed his magic stone and went out into the world but he was still busy after that.

He defeated the monsters of the Great Forest condemned the emperor and cleared out the demonic beasts of Slashland again.

There were no major difficulties after leaving the Abyss but the exhaustion of his mental power was inevitable.

After he was freed from Abra Nath’s curse his body healed but his mind did not.

Rattling.

The carriage shook once as it climbed over the stone where the wheels were stuck.

The upper bodies of the passengers swayed as the carriage shook.

The passengers who had been dozing off from the shock suddenly came to their senses.

A middle-aged man woke up looked around with a bored expression and made eye contact with Elio.

“Where are you going?”

“The Kingdom of Baylem.”

“oh! Baelum Kingdom. “I’m on my way there too… The Kingdom of Valelum is hot these days.”

The middle-aged man spoke quietly.

“Is it hot?”

“Don’t you know the word hot? Young people these days use it well. “I mean it’s hot.”

“What’s going on?”

The middle-aged man asked before answering.

“Where were you from before?”

“The Kingdom of Escatos.”

“Then I have no idea. The Kingdom of Baelum has been in turmoil for ten years. “Prince 1 and Prince 2 fought for the throne and in the end Prince 2 became king.”

“I thought so?”

Elio laughed but she didn’t show it.

Count Larva Omar served as a sword for the 1st Prince but when the 2nd Prince ascended the throne he surrendered to Count Gerald Logan a close associate of the 2nd Prince.

Count Nebla Aximus who was dissatisfied with this sent an assassin to him.

He went with Count Omar after saving him from the brink of death but he said ‘I have no idea.’

“There has been a battle for dominance between Count Paul Herman and Count Gerald Logan since five years ago. “Count Gerald Logan who was feeling like he was dead attacked Count Paul Herman’s side.”

“ah….”

Elio immediately realized what the situation was.

Now that Count Omar has returned as the Sword Master Count Gerald Logan who had been quiet has begun to raise his voice.

As expected the middle-aged man’s explanation continued.

“It’s only natural that Count Omar the sword master is on Count Logan’s side. Not to be outdone Count Herman also brought in the Sword Master… and a big fight is ahead.”

“Who is the sword master brought by Count Herman?”

“Count Jurgen Rade is a great knight who started out as a mercenary and rose to great noble rank.”

“Oh I guess you’re a great sword master?”

“They say they are the best on the continent in terms of practical swordsmanship. It’s amazing how much swordsmanship I learned while working as a mercenary. It’s been about ten years since I became a sword master. “They say Count Omar is an opponent they can’t beat.”

“Is it that much?”

“If we compete purely on swordsmanship Count Lagoa won’t be his opponent right?”

“You seem like a really great person.”

“So everyone is predicting a victory for Count Paul Herman. You can tell just by looking at the number of nobles gathered. “Five years ago they were close together but now Count Paul Herman’s side is overwhelmingly majority.”

“That’s just how people are in the world.”

“You know something too. This time on our Raccoon platform…. Oh my I was talking too much to myself. “For what reason are you going to Baelum Kingdom?”

“I’m on my way to see Count Omar.”

“huh? who?”

“I’m on my way to meet Count Larva Omar.”

“Ah haha Count Omar. So what is your relationship with the Count…?”

The man took a quick look at the young man’s complexion.

Up until now Count Herman had been boasting that he was overwhelmingly superior but he was nervous about going to meet Count Omar the leader of the opposition.

“A friend.”

“Haha young man joke. Count Omar is over sixty years old…”

“Age is just a number when it comes to dating people. Count Omar and I are quite close.”

“Oh don’t do that. Are you even a distant relative? Or did you receive support from Count Omar? “Actually I am rooting for Count Omar in my heart.”

The middle-aged man changed his words as if he was being stung.

Elio asked staring at the man.

“why?”

“huh? “What do you mean?”

“Contrary to your words you say you support Count Omar in your heart? Why are you cheering? “There must be a reason.”

“That’s right Count Omar is a man among men.”

“What are you looking at?”

“You’re the sword master.”

“Count Rade is also a sword master.”

“Anyway please know that I also support Count Omar.”

“What is your name?”

“me? “Why do you ask that?”

The middle-aged man asked back in slight surprise.

She said Elio as if it was obvious.

“You need to know who is rooting for you. Did you say raccoon top? “What’s your name?”

When Elio persistently asked the middle-aged man reluctantly opened her mouth.

“It’s Ma Michael.”

“You’re Michael from Raccoon right?”

“Once you say it they understand. Why are you asking so much? Who are you? “Who are you to say that you are Count Omar’s friend?”

“Me? Elio.”

“Seeing as he doesn’t have a last name I guess he’s a commoner… huh? “Who did you just say?”

“Once you say it you understand. Why are you asking so much?”

Elio returned it as is but Michael was unable to convulse.

For some reason my heart sank when I heard the word Elio.

“I guess Elio… isn’t Count Lagoa… right?”

Michael spoke carefully.

This is because the only Elio who could be considered a friend of Count Omar was Count Elio Lagoa.

“That’s Elio.”

At that moment Michael quickly stood up with his face turning white.

Trying to get his knees on the floor.

But there was no way that was possible in a carriage so narrow that his knees were almost touching.

He said with a scared look on his face as he tried to bend his knees several times.

“I committed a great sin by not knowing you Count. Please forgive me.”

“Sin can happen if you don’t know what it is. “Sit down.”

“Thank you thank you.”

Michael who had been bowing his head sat down in a humble posture.

For a moment the inside of the carriage became so quiet that not even a sound of breathing could be heard.

The only sound was the loud sound of rolling wheels.

Dudduddu-.

Elio who was looking at Michael with an indifferent face suddenly asked.

“Mr. Michael you said that if I fight purely with swordsmanship I won’t be a match for Count Rade right?”

“That’s just a rumor….”

“Oh Michael you’re saying that’s not what you thought but that’s what you heard?”

“That’s right. How can I evaluate the swordsmanship of a Grand Master and a Sword Master in my subject? These are just words picked up from the top. Please forgive me.”

“The Raccoon fleet lined up on Count Herman’s side right?”

Elio looked at Michael with one meaningful look in her eyes.

I remembered what he said a little while ago about the raccoon leader and stabbed him.

“That’s… that’s right.”

Michael eventually admitted.

I couldn’t do it because it would be revealed if Count Lagoa investigated anyway.

“So it looks like Count Herman is saying something like that? Shamefully.”

“I guess so.”

Michael lowered his eyes.

As the top manager came and went to the Count Nebla Aximus family such rumors spread to the top as well.

What could the top manager say that he knew about swordsmanship?

It was obvious that he like himself had heard the story from Count Aximus’ family.

“Mr. Michael.”

“yes?”

“Go and tell it. “If you talk nonsense I’ll pull out all your teeth.”

“Who are you telling me to tell…?”

“People who go around saying things like that.”

“Oh yeah….”

Michael didn’t know who it was but he said ‘yes’.

This is because he could not answer ‘No’ to the Grand Master’s instructions.

Michael was unable to transfer to another carriage because he said he was ‘going all the way to the Kingdom of Baylam’.

All the passengers except him got off at the next stagecoach office.

I don’t know if that was the original destination or if it was to change stagecoaches.

***

Baelum Kingdom.

Ationias.

Around noon.

A stagecoach stopped in front of the Ationias stagecoach office.

After a while when the dust settled the passengers got off one by one.

The last people to get off were a young man and a middle-aged man who appeared to be in their twenties.

This is Elio and Michael.

Michael couldn’t make the first move and just watched Count Lagoa.

“Why are you doing this? Let’s go.”

As Count Lagoa’s words fell Michael’s face finally became brighter.

“Yes yes. “Then I’ll just go.”

Michael broke his back and left without looking back.

Elio leisurely walked towards the Yeongju Castle visible in the distance.

***

Prince of Ationias.

Count Omar greeted Count Lagoa with a bright smile.

“Lagoa thank you for your hard work. “I heard you’ve been in Slash Land all this time?”

“Fabian complained that it was a barren land so I tried to survive.”

“Heh heh. You said so. I’ve heard rumors that Slashland has turned into a great place to live. “I heard that public safety is so good?”

“We caught all the trouble makers and threw them into the mine.”

“As expected it is Lagoa Sutra. “If we just fix the people who cause trouble the world will be a much better place to live in. But that’s not easy.”

Count Omar shook his head as if his headaches were aching just thinking about it.

Elio just smiled.

Count Omar is a capable and responsible lord but he doesn’t seem to get his way.

Count Omar who was laughing bitterly opened his eyes cautiously.

“I heard about Archduke Knauf and Synclair. It happened at the emperor’s instigation right? “Have you finished your conversation with the Emperor?”

Elio told the story of his visit to the emperor.

“…I sorted it out by receiving an apology. By the way I heard that Sir Omar got caught up in political strife again? “The world does not leave Sir Omar alone just because there is no wind on the tree with many branches.”

“Hehe! “Has my story already reached Lord Lagoa’s ears?”

“I was riding a stagecoach when I heard it from a fellow passenger. “I see you’re famous in Baylem?”

“In fact nothing has happened but Count Herman’s side keeps making matters worse.”

“What they want is a duel between Lord Omar and Count Rade right?”

“I think so.”

“The person riding with me said that Count Rade has the upper hand… What do you think?”

Count Omar shrugged his shoulders in response to Elio’s explicit question.

“I don’t know. As you know I have been involved in a lot of combat… but Count Rade is a warmonger. His practical experience will be much more there. “He became a sword master ten years earlier than me.”

He is saying that he cannot be confident of victory.

Such words come out of the mouth of Count Omar the Tiger of Baylem!

Elio looked at Count Omar’s face with her new eyes.

Now that I think about it he has aged drastically due to what he has been through in the past five years.
