Episode 1128. I will serve you as Fermosa Estella (Shining Star).
The forest on the left and right of Thessalus Gorge was devastated by the Jingeom River that poured like hail.
Beautiful trees were shattered, and holes were drilled in the ground.
The assailants were obscured by fallen and broken trees.
Count Larva Omar murmured with a bewildered face.
“Is this… the sword master’s ability?”
It can’t be.
You can tell because you are close to the sword master.
Of course, similar results can be achieved.
But you can’t just blow up both sides of the canyon like that in such a short amount of time.
Wouldn’t it be strange if two sword masters did a sword dance?
Even if Archduke Hannes Knauf, the God of War, was revived, it would be impossible.
Fabian, who was next to him, helped with a word.
“Isn’t that great?”
“Awesome? no more than that To be sure, Viscount Elio Lagoa is not a sword master. He’s probably…”
Count Larva Omar was speechless.
The word ‘grand master’ came to my throat, but I held it back.
That was not a word that he, who had not yet become a sword master, would mention.
Elio, who was sweeping the gorge, gave a short shout.
“Don’t play dead, come out! If it doesn’t come out, I’ll change it again.”
At his threat, survivors crawled out of both canyons.
There were five musketeers and four knights.
Elio’s gaze turned to the knights covered in blood.
“Viscount Milo Walker?”
Viscount Milo Walker flinched at Elio’s words.
“I thought it was a thief. What happened to this? There’s no way the viscount has a musketeer. Who is the musketeer?”
“They were hired as mercenaries.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Who do you work for?”
“I worked for Count Omar of Larva until recently.”
Viscount Milo Walker did not pretend to the end.
But Elio was not frustrated.
There is a good way to get a boner, so what’s wrong with being angry?
“You know the torture method whereby I ‘split tendons and dislocate bones [分筋錯骨]’? If you use this, you will blow 100,000 of them. Will you speak plainly? Or should I use that method?”
Viscount Milo Walker chuckled.
Will a sword expert knight succumb to torture?
“Do whatever you want.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Elio snapped his fingers.
Pupper puck—!
Viscount Milo Walker’s body began to shrivel as blood was drawn.
“Ahh! stop! I will tell you! stop! I will tell you!”
Hearing his screams, Elio loosened the broken bone with a pyrotechnic point.
Then he looked down at Viscount Milo Walker, who was panting with a stunned face.
How can you start to break down and surrender while you take a breath!
He was the quickest person to give up since he had broken a goal so far.
“So whose musketeers?”
“They are the musketeers brought by Viscount Sven Hauser. If you ask, you will know, but they must be the musketeers of Count Nebla Aximus.”
At that moment, the commander of the musketeers, Baron Balter Skars, shouted.
“Viscount Milo Walker! You betray your faith! Are you still a knight!”
However, Viscount Milo Walker only stared blankly at a point in the void with a face that gave up on everything.
Elio approached the shouting musketeer.
“Where is the person who hid and made an ambush on passersby talking loudly? what is your name?”
“Baron Valter Skars.”
Baron Baltes Skars proudly revealed himself because his back stomach had already been exposed.
“Are you sure it’s the musketeers of Count Nebla Aximus?”
“exactly.”
“Did the Count send you?”
“I only listen to the Count’s orders.”
It is said that Count Nebla Aximus sent it.
“What did Nebla do to send this? He said that I had a grudge against the count and that he was aiming at me? Are you a pure twin bastard?”
“Don’t insult the Count… Evil!”
Baron Balter Skars, who was defending his master at Elio’s punches, fell backwards.
That’s not the end.
Enraged, Elio kicked the fallen Baron Balter Skars without stopping.
“You bastard! Do you know what a good guy you are? Hide and shoot your magic gun because you have a grudge against me! You are worse than a thief! You don’t even deserve to be called an insult!”
“evil! evil! Aww!”
Baron Valter Skars screamed every time he was kicked.
Elio, who had been kicking until the anger subsided, turned to Viscount Milo Walker.
“Mr. Milo.”
“Are you calling me?”
“Yes you. What about Nebla, go tell the count. If you want to live, go to Hirhera within a month. If you don’t go, I’ll get rid of the Countess. Do you know what I mean?”
“Are you asking the Count to send troops?”
“Whether I am dispatched or alone with my daughter, that is something I have to figure out. Can’t see Count Nebla in Hirhera? Then you will die by my hand. Take all these people and get out of my sight.”
Viscount Milo Walker took the knights and musketeers and ran away as if fleeing.
Count Omar of Larva and Fabian approached Elio.
Fabian said with a knowing face.
“Viscount, are you so concerned about Hirhera? There won’t be any demon lords attacking for a while, right?”
“Wandering demons may wander and find cracks. There are many monsters around the ice wall. It’s about preparing in advance.”
Count Larva Omar, who had been listening quietly, interjected.
“But it is the first time I have seen the Viscount’s swordsmanship. What is your name?”
After witnessing Elio’s swordsmanship, he changed his tone.
It’s because I can’t keep using Haoche against opponents who are better than the Sword Master.
“Nine Sky swordsmanship.”
“ah! Nine Sky. Can you guess who the founder is?”
Elio pointed to the sky with his index finger.
Taking that as a sign that he should not ask any more questions, Count Larva Omar withdrew with a puzzled face.
After a while, Count Larva Omar and Helio’s party left the Thessalos Gorge.
After the fighting in Thessalus Gorge, Count Larva Omar and his personal guard honored Elio.
In particular, Count Omar of Larva treated Elio like a duke.
His tone became more polite, and he asked his opinion first in everything.
The day after leaving the Thessalos Gorge.
Finally, Count Larva Omar and Elio’s party arrived at the Count’s castle.
Of course, Count Omar of Larva treated Elio and Fabian extremely well.
Elio and Fabian were able to relax at the Count’s castle.
The next morning, Elio and Fabian were ready to leave again.
Earl Larva Omar, who heard the news, came running in a month.
“Viscount, are you going to rest for a few days already?”
“I have work to do.”
“Didn’t you say you were going to Petropolis (the imperial capital)?”
“yes.”
“Hey, can I accompany you?”
“A Count?”
“Yes, there has been no progress in swordsmanship in recent years. Would it feel like standing in front of a fragile, unbreakable wall? Being by the viscount’s side would be of great help… so I won’t bother you.”
“Will you mind if I go with you? I don’t think the Count’s position in Baylem is good.”
“Staying in Baylem will only make matters worse. These are things that will be solved only when I become a Sword Master.”
Elio shook his head.
It seemed that he would rather be away for the time being than to remain in Baylem and watch the great nobles.
“I have no intention of getting involved in the Count’s affairs while we are together. Literally, it just means companionship. Will you be okay?”
The count looked slightly disappointed, but soon nodded.
“Accompanying is enough.”
He decided not to rush.
I believed that if I stayed together, an opportunity would come to me too.
That’s how Count Larva Omar was added to Helio’s Islands.
***
Londinium Empire.
Petropolis.
If you ask, ‘Who is the owner of the continent of Rodina today?’, most humans will answer the Londinium Empire.
Even the people of the kingdom that fought the war against the empire do not deny it.
Fifty years ago, the empire did not spare investment in the development of culture and art after the kingdom unification war ended.
There was criticism that it was to suppress the culture of the kingdom absorbed into the empire, but as a result, the empire became the center of culture.
A representative example of the Empire’s development was Bardos.
Songs played by playing the harp or singing along with the performance spread all over the continent.
People on the continent of Rodina were enthusiastic about the name of the famous Bardos and the songs they released.
It became fashionable to support Bardos among the great nobility, and there was also a royal family who preoccupied Bardos in the name of sponsorship and had it sung only at royal family events.
The first thing Elio and his party saw upon arriving at Petropolis was a poster announcing Bardos’ performance.
Elio said, pointing to the papers tightly stuck to the wall.
“Wow! What is this? Why are there so many posters announcing Bardos’ performances?”
“Iknow, right. Are there more than ten?”
Fabian couldn’t take his eyes off the mural either.
More than ten new ones were put on top of the faded old ones.
Only Count Larva Omar, who had been to the islands, had a nonchalant face.
“It was all put on by the bar owners. Noble family events are not open to the public.”
“Then the number of Bardos must be very large, right?”
To Viscount Elio Lagoa’s question, the Count calculated for a moment before answering.
“There must be about a hundred Bardos alone active in Petropolis.”
“Crazy.”
“Iknow, right. With so many people hanging out and eating, it seems like they are in another world.”
However, Elio’s shock did not last long.
Come to think of it, the number of Yegi in Nanjing was even greater than that.
Compared to Yegi, Bardos was rather small when considering the size of the city.
Maybe it’s because the Bardos of this world are real artists.
Then a well-dressed middle-aged man approached the three of them.
“Knights. If you have not yet decided where to go, we will take you to our Fermosa Estella (Shining Star).”
Fabian, the lowest of the three, took the place of the party.
“Permosa Estella?”
“It is a place with fragrant alcohol, delicious food, and a cozy bed. Of course, you can also meet beautiful girls who shine like stars.”
In an instant, dry saliva flowed down Fabian’s throat in the bitter cold.
As Fabian glanced back at Elio, Elio said.
“Fabian, we need to get a room near the magic tower.”
“Oh right. Magic Tower.”
Fabian’s excited eyes quickly returned to normal.
However, the middle-aged man did not quietly withdraw.
“Then it was even better. There is a mage tower of the Abraxas School in close proximity to our Fermosa Estella.”
Fabian said with a heated face.
“It’s close!”
Then Elio asked with a sullen face.
“How close are you?”
“You can even see the Mage Tower of the Abraxas School from our shop.”
Elio nodded.
If you can see the mage tower from a city like this, it’s because it’s quite close.
“We have everything from food and drink to lodging, right?”
“In addition, there are as many girls as beautiful as the stars, like the grains of sand on the beach.”
At the middle-aged man’s bold words, Count Larva Omar laughed.
There are two young people, so it is Taryeong who is always beautiful.
Since Elio had nowhere else to go, he decided to follow the man’s suggestion.
“Okay. Let’s go.”
After he gave his permission, the middle-aged man pointed to the front with a flamboyant gesture and bowed his head.
