Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 1034

Episode 1034. Do not be swayed by any temptation.

Baron Irwin Leatherr, who had returned from seeing off Elio from afar, asked Baron Ashley Nelson with a smile.

“Okay, how was it when I met you? Did you like it?”

“I didn’t know there was such a story. But what did the successor of Putokoa believe in and became enemies with the advanced sword expert?”

“Did you know that? I didn’t know and heard that it was like that. How surprised would you have been to ask Duke Escatos to intercede in front of the nobles?”

“The heir of Putokoa must have been pretty hurt, too, right?”

“Still, I have no choice but to keep the position of heir. It’s not like there aren’t any other direct descendants of Putokoa. By the way, how long did they say that the Corvo magic corps will stay in Hirhera?”

“Maybe it won’t go back until we repair the rift in Skutum?”

“You said you failed today? Will it ever be restored?”

“I’m not a wizard, so I don’t know. But what will the Corvo Magic Corps do? No matter what mission I’ve taken on so far, I’ve always succeeded.”

“Then, are you going back to the system right away after finishing work?”

“It will be. How strict are the rules of the Corvo Magic Corps? Today too, Magus Killian Hale-sama was away, so he barely escaped.”

“I did everything you asked. You are the one who broke the plate. you know that?”

“yes yes. thank you.”

Baron Ashley Nelson’s gaze turned to the seat where Elio had been sitting.

Unlike other sticky nobles, I think it was a good thing to meet him, thinking of his calm attitude towards himself.

***

Returning to the inn, Elio turned his gaze to the distant sky.

It’s been two months since I came to this world.

If it’s long, it’s long, if it’s short, it’s a short period, but it feels strangely long.

It felt like two years had passed.

Was it because he was shocked by an unexpected injury?

Or does it feel that way because the flow of time is different?

If it’s the former, I’m glad, but if it’s the latter, I don’t even want to think about it.

Suddenly, Gucheonhyeonnyeo’s words came to mind.

―They are in the chaos, follow the chaos.

As you said, you are right in the right place.

Because there is no doubt that the rift in Hirhera is chaos.

“shit. I thought it was too easy.”

In this world, unlike the ‘Heaven of Kings’, everything is hidden.

Although they are at the center of chaos, they have not been able to find out who the magician who dropped the meteor shower is, let alone the Thousand Horse and the golden lion.

Even if you find out, it’s a problem.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t compete with that magician.

With pure force, he is no more than a sword master.

However, that mage was far above the sword master.

You can tell just by looking at how helpless he and Count Codrantes were.

It is said that when fighting the wizard, you must take out the Nine Heaven Sword Spirit.

But there shouldn’t be any witnesses.

The more I learned about this world, the stronger I felt that way.

It is a matter directly related to his survival, but on the contrary, the Cheonjama and Geumsa could have been hidden.

It was an unfamiliar knight who greeted Elio, who trudged back to the inn with a distraught heart.

“I am Baron Dylan Moran of the Optimus Knights. His Excellency Escatos told me to bring Sir Elio.”

“Ah…”

Elio followed Baron Dylan Moran without a break.

It was because the call of the Duke of Escatos, the marshal of the kingdom’s garrison, could not be delayed or refused.

***

When Elio entered the barracks, Duke Escatos spoke first.

“Sir Elio. Come on.”

“yes.”

As Elio stood there with a puzzled face, Duke Escatos pointed to an empty seat.

“Sit down. I have something to share with you.”

“ah. yes.”

As Elio sat down, Duke Escatos brought two coffee cups himself.

Even though he had an adjutant, doing it himself was a sign of his affinity for Elio.

As I filled the cup with coffee, the savory aroma of coffee rose.

“Do you like coffee?”

“I don’t hate it.”

Elio smiled awkwardly and grabbed the glass.

Originally, I enjoyed drinking tea, but it was the first time I had tea like coffee. So, the likes and dislikes were not yet clear.

“I heard that Yain likes coffee… but it seems that not everyone is like that.”

“Haha…”

Elio laughed awkwardly.

It’s just that I’m not used to it yet, but the duke seems to be misunderstanding.

The Duke of Escatos took a sip of tea and got lucky.

“Yesterday, right after the demons appeared, a noble meeting was held. At the end of the meeting, Putokoa made a request.”

“…”

Elio stared at the Duke.

It was because Putokoa’s request seemed to be related to him.

“Through Marquis Bernardo, I heard about the relationship between the Lord and the Counts of Putocoa. The heir of Count Putocoa has done a bad thing. I still can’t believe that there are nobles like that… but there are many types of people in the world.”

“You mean it’s bad even in the eyes of the Duke?”

“That’s right. No matter what anyone says, it’s Tobias Putokoa’s fault. I fully understand the Lord’s vengeance towards Count Putokoa. It could be solved by a duel. Nevertheless, I have accepted Tobias Putokoa’s request for mediation. The reason is that the wonder knows better than anyone else. Today’s Hirhera… has become the most dangerous area on the continent. Today, the Archmage Magus Killian Hale of the 7th Circle attempted to repair the rift… but failed. It’s a bit more advanced than the mage Sir Carlos did, but it didn’t close the rift. Due to the problems of the southern kingdoms, Magus Cillian Hale Duke can’t stay in Hirhera for long.”

“What is the problem with the southern kingdoms?”

For an instant, Elio’s ears flashed open.

As he had to follow the chaos, he needed to know what it was.

“They say the neighboring kingdoms are trying to control access to the Southern Great Forest. As a result, the Empire’s troops are said to have been redeployed to the south. The southern kingdoms fear the most, the Corvo Magic Troops, so they won’t stay in Hirhera for long.”

“Isn’t the Great Forest the place where the Abyss are located?”

“Right.”

“I heard that the Abyss is popular with adventurers… You mean they control the entry and exit of adventurers?”

“It looks blatant enough for the Imperial Army to move.”

“Why are the southern kingdoms suddenly like that?”

For a moment, Duke Escatos glanced at Elio.

Duke Escatos hesitated for a moment.

I don’t know if it’s okay to teach Elio the advanced information that only the kingdom’s intelligence department handles.

But Great Forest and Abyss are the story of the far south.

Since Elio came to Hirhera voluntarily, he did not have to worry about leaving for the Great Forest.

“This is a secret even in the Empire, but they say that steel golems have been found in the Abyss.”

“A steel golem?”

“The most powerful magic weapon in existence. The Empire fears that the southern kingdoms will unearth iron golems and rebel against the Empire. That’s why I’m putting pressure on you to release the controls. That’s how we’re going to stop the steel golem’s monopoly.”

“ah!”

“Only you know the story you just heard. If the northern lords turn their personnel to the Great Forest out of vain greed… it will only make it difficult to defend the Hirhera Rift.”

“yes.”

“Anyway, for that reason, the Corvo Magic Corps won’t stay long. If the emperor finds out that this is not possible even with the Duke of Magus Killian Hale anyway, he will quickly come up with an alternative. At that time, I will turn the Corvo Magic Corps back to the south. What would happen if Count Putokoa, one of the three great lords of the north, was shaken in this gloomy situation?”

Of course, there will be a big problem with the defense of the rift.

“Are you saying not to take revenge?”

“I want revenge, but I want you to delay the timing. If the wonder touches the Countess of Putokoa now, they’d rather go back to Putokoa. When they go back, only the Marquis Bernardo and Codrantes will be left in Hirhera.”

Duke Escatos stopped talking and looked at Elio.

Fortunately, he also had a face that knew what the consequences would be.

“After the danger of the rift is gone, I won’t mind if you challenge the nobles of Wonder Putokoa to a duel. Do you know how precarious the situation in Hirhera is right now?”

“…”

A sigh came out of Elio’s mouth.

Duke Escatos is right.

Even now, the three major territories in the north are monitoring the rift every three days.

After that, they come down to the garrison, treat injuries for six days, repair equipment, and then go back to work for three days.

If Count Putokoa withdraws, the reorganization time will be reduced to three days.

I know from my own experience, but that was something I really couldn’t do.

“Can Count Putokoa go back on their own?”

“If you’re determined to pay the price for disobeying the king’s order, there’s nothing you can’t do. If you think it’s better to pay the price than to end up in ruins, then you will.”

Elio couldn’t resist.

The duke should have known more about the problems of the lords than he did.

‘It could fall out of the defense of the rift? Then it won’t work.’

That was something the soldiers of the Marquis Bernardo and Count Codrantes couldn’t do.

Who wants to let them go back to their territory?

“All right. When the danger of the rift is resolved, then I will take revenge on Count Putokoa.”

At Elio’s words, Duke Escatos’ face brightened.

“Good idea. I will never forget that loyalty towards the kingdom. If there’s anything you want, let me know. If there’s anything I can do for you, I’ll listen.”

“doesn’t exist.”

Elio shook his head.

There was nothing to get ahead of here, and now was just right.

However, Duke Escatos did not back down easily.

He wanted to do something for Elio out of gratitude.

“I’ll give you one more company, so why don’t you take on the role of company commander?”

“it’s okay.”

“Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable staying with Alpha Company Commander, Baron Dennis Robin?”

“Aren’t you uncomfortable?”

“If it’s fine, I won’t recommend it any more. Let me know if you change your mind at any time. It is now, but after receiving the bongjak, you will become a staff member or command a company.”

“yes.”

The conversation was interrupted for a moment.

The two drank lukewarm coffee in silence.

Suddenly, Duke Escatos said.

“Duke Magus Cillian Hale has shown interest in you. Sooner or later, I may sing the sutra separately.”

“Me?”

“The nobles of the empire are greedy for talented people. To be honest, if you have the skills of a Lord, you should be given the title of Viscount. Since he did not know the status of the Lord, he will be sealed as a baron… but the achievements the Lord has made in Hirhera so far are enough to earn the title of viscount. Hum hum So… I hope you don’t fall for the conciliation of Magus Killian Hale Duke. For young people, it would be nice if the imperial capital was splendid… but it’s also a place where you can get tired of factional fights among nobles.”

Elio smiled knowing why Duke Escatos was saying such a thing.

It seems that he is worried that he will leave Hirhera with the Corvo magic corps from the Empire.

“Duke, I have no intention of leaving Hirhera until the problem of the rift is resolved.”

“also! I saw people well. I knew Kyung would be that kind of person. Surely you won’t suddenly stab me in the back after saying this in front of me?”

“I don’t speak twice with one mouth.”

“I believe. great I promise on my honor. Sir Elio’s triumph will be accomplished before the end of the year. So don’t be swayed by any temptation.”

It is said that he will make his own within this year.

“thank you.”

Elio didn’t mind the title, but he didn’t refuse.

This is because the higher the title, the less likely it is to lose.
