Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 1269

Episode 1269. If not, would I have come to see you?

Safe area EXO too.

bar baron.

In a corner seat, six men sat together at two tables.

Judging by the rough eyes and uncoordinated Gambison (quilted armor), it was unmistakable that he was a mercenary.

Among them, a savage-looking mercenary glanced left and right and spoke in a whisper.

“But what about those clouds? No matter how much it rains at any time in the great forest, I have never seen such a cloud. That only happens in open pit mines. Couldn’t that have been magic?”

Then, all eyes of the mercenaries turned to the leader, Baron Rainforest.

It was because he planned and promoted it, so he wanted to know something.

But that was unexpected even for Baron Rainforest.

When he shrugged his shoulders as if he didn’t know, the mercenaries soon withdrew their gaze.

Baron Rain Forest silently poured honey wine into a tin goblet.

Unlike the bars in Tombstone, Exodo sold honey wine as its main product.

Honey wine made with wild honey and edible berries in Abyss tasted good and was known to be very helpful in maintaining health.

You will suddenly ask why your health is, but that’s because you don’t know Abyss.

Abyss was not good for humans, unlike the scenery that was beautiful to the eye.

If you work hard, you will quickly get tired and your nerves will become sharp, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep.

Some scholars said it was because of the difference in air quality between the Abyss and the outside world, but that was just a hypothesis that had not been proven.

Regardless of the reason, honey wine was the most popular drink in Abyss because it relieved not only fatigue but also sharp nerves.

Baron Rainforest, who was staring at the yellow liquid in the tin glass, muttered to himself.

“What a fucking mercenary is honey. Say it.”

Then, the mean-looking mercenary Drain said something to draw him into the conversation.

“Captain, honey wine is not important right now. As those puppies adjust to the Abyss, they will be harder to defeat. Before that, somehow…”

“Or I’ll just roll it.”

Drain asked with a surprised face at Baron Rainforest’s words.

“Are you quitting?”

“What are you so surprised about? So, did you try to follow them all the time in the Abyss?”

“It’s because it hurts. Did you see those girls? These women are hard to find even in the Empire.”

“Are you saying women are better than treasure?”

“Treasures will always stay there, but women are different, right? hey friends Am I wrong?”

The other mercenaries nodded fiercely at Drain’s question.

“that’s right!”

“There aren’t any women like that in the system, right?”

“Especially the woman in white was as beautiful as the goddess.”

“They are definitely better than treasure.”

Drain said with a triumphant face.

“Did you hear? Everyone says a woman is better than a treasure. Take revenge on the guy who sprinkled feces on the captain’s life and get drunk with women. How good is it?”

“I tried, but it didn’t work. Let’s not overdo it. If we fight head-on, we are no match for them.”

“Who fights the front in the world these days? The magic gun originally hides behind and shoots.”

“You couldn’t kill him even if you shot him.”

“I was out of luck then. Who knew there would suddenly be dark clouds? Even if it wasn’t for the dark clouds, I could have killed all of those kids.”

“Luck is also skill.”

“Ah why are you like that? Are you having a hard time remembering old friendships because you’re about to kill him? Is it because it’s an old subordinate?”

“You sound like old times. My life has been ruined because of that bastard.”

“Then why do you keep talking weakly? It’s not once or twice that he robbed adventurers in the Abyss. With the magic gun we have, it’s not a difficult task.”

“I’m saying this because it didn’t work with that magic gun.”

“As I said, I was out of luck then…”

Before Drain could finish, someone interrupted.

“No luck. And you can never kill them with your crappy magic guns.”

The mercenaries checked the face of the woman who had suddenly intervened and then quietly looked away.

Auria Charles, the leader of the Falcon Mercenary Corps, sat down on the opposite side of the Rainforest and said to the two mercenaries sitting next to her.

“The two of you go somewhere else for a while and have a drink. I have something to say to your captain.”

The two of them moved to another place without making a sound.

If he is stamped by the Falcon mercenary leader, he will crawl on his own because he died in the Abyss.

Baron Rainforest, who was staring at the Falcon mercenary leader with calm eyes, asked.

“Have we met before?”

“no.”

“Anything like that, you talk like you know us well?”

“I saw you by chance during the day today. At the entrance of the Abyss, he was doing what the mojiri do.”

“If you see it, don’t run to the vigilante.”

“There are things I don’t have proof of, but I don’t like them as much as you do.”

“Do you know them well?”

There was a difference in Rainforest’s eyes.

Judging by the way he spoke, the Falcon mercenary leader seemed to know the adventurers well.

“I can say I know better than you. By the way, I saw earlier that they were using magic guns. Where did you get them?”

For a moment, Rain Forest misunderstood that the opponent had come because of the magic gun.

“If the purpose is a magic gun, then you have come to the wrong place. Because I have no intention of selling.”

When Rainforest was straight, Auria Charles smiled.

“Don’t get me wrong. Did you forget what I said?”

While hesitating, Rain Forest remembered the phrase ‘a crappy magic gun’.

“Of course, I know that what we have is not a good quality magic gun.”

However, most of the mercenaries didn’t even have such a crappy magic gun.

This is because the empire and the kingdom strongly regulate the general trade of magic guns.

Auria Charles, who felt proud of his tone, looked at the other person with new eyes. ‘Well

, to think

that only six mercenaries have two magic guns…’

It was a reality that even mid-level mercenaries like the Falcon mercenaries did not have a magic gun.

“I’ll tell you in advance, I’m not interested in your magic gun. But I’m curious. How did you manage to have two magic guns?”

“I was a northern nobleman. I was thinking of burying my bones in the kingdom army, but I was stripped of my position and kicked out due to the fault of a subordinate who lacked social skills. When I returned to the manor, the lord didn’t even pay attention to me after I was dishonorably discharged. I stole it from the armory before leaving the estate with no future in sight.”

“Hoho! I didn’t know there was such a story. Is the subordinate who cut off your life among the adventurers?”

“exactly.”

“aha! That’s why you did such a ridiculous surprise.”

At the words of Auria Charles, Baron Rainforest was furious.

“It’s an absurd surprise. If it hadn’t been for bad luck and dark clouds, it would have been successful.”

“I wouldn’t have been successful if it hadn’t been for the dark clouds. Or maybe the dark clouds saved your lives.”

“Dark clouds saved us? What nonsense are you talking about?”

“When dark clouds came in and the surprise attack was disrupted, you guys left the scene right away, right? So, you’re still alive.”

“Right. But you haven’t answered my question yet.”

Auria Charles looked at Baron Rainforest with pity.

“I guess you don’t know how much your subordinate has risen in the world?”

“Did he get ahead?”

“Baron Fabian Cloud is also called the ‘Knight of the Rift’ in the North. Are you hearing this for the first time?”

“Has he already been made a baron?”

“Tsk tsk! You’re from the North, but the situation in the North is dark. ah! I guess so.”

Because the Empire hid information from the North, their names were not widely known yet. Didn’t he only know about it after hearing it from Charles Manson?

At the words of Auria Charles, Baron Rain Forest gritted his teeth and asked.

“What did he do?”

“I hear there was a crack in the scutum (ice wall) in the north last winter. Demons came over through the rift and waged war against the northern kingdoms, at which time Elio Lagoa and Fabian Cloud made a big contribution. For his exploits at that time, Fabian Cloud received the title of baron.”

“Damn it! Even if I hadn’t been kicked out…”

Baron Rainforest gulped down his mead, feeling his stomach burn.

“I haven’t said anything important yet. Your men, unlike you, have been very, very lucky. The superior he served in the north is Viscount Elio Lagoa.”

“You mean the young adventurer Fabian was following?”

Baron Rainforest tilted his head at the name, as if he had heard it somewhere.

“is it so. If you knew who he was, you would agree with ‘The Dark Cloud Saved Your Lives’.”

“Is he a sword master?”

“Whoops! do not be surprised. He is a Grand Master standing shoulder to shoulder with Archduke Kaiser Knauf. That’s why I recently received the title of count in the Empire.”

“Count Helio Lagoa? Are you saying that young adventurer is really Count Elio Lagoa?”

“that’s right. Do you see now how lucky you are?”

“…”

Baron Rainforest blinked for a while, as if he didn’t realize it.

“It didn’t look like that at all…”

“Isn’t it? With such a plain face, who would think of him as a grandmaster? I knew it, so it’s a shame.

“shit.”

The world really sucks.

To think that Fabian, who ruined him, would make a fortune.

Baron Rainforest reached for the bottle with a resigned face.

It was because if Count Elio Lagoa was by Fabian’s side, revenge was over.

The voice of Auria Charles came to his ears.

“You look like you’ve already given up. Is it because the grudge isn’t deep? But what if there was something in this world that could kill a Grand Master?”

“Is there such a thing?”

“If not, would I have come to see you?”

Auria Charles looked at Baron Rainforest with meaningful eyes.

***

Partonic acid.

Nine heavily armed men and women appeared at the entrance of a lush mountain.

Elio and the others are visiting the development area.

Elio, who saw the golden lines hanging all over the mountain, asked Merdef, who was in the lead.

“Brother! What is that line?”

“This is a sign telling you not to enter because the owner is there.”

“What owner is in the dungeon?”

“It was drawn unilaterally by the kingdom and the mercenary guilds of the empire that developed this place in the first place.”

“They are like thugs. What’s in that gold chain?”

“I know it as a rare herb colony.”

“By the way, does it become a single gold line? I guess there are people who sneak over and collect them?”

“There are watchtowers everywhere, so if you get caught, you die. But as you said, there are people who secretly gather.”

“It’s brutal. So what if I discover a new herb colony? Can I put a gold string on it?”

“Individuals do not have the strength to protect it, so they inform the mercenary group or noble family of their location and receive money. Then they’re going to hit a new gold line.”

“Hey, it’s not even your own land, but you draw a line and pretend to be the owner. It’s ridiculous. Keep your eyes peeled to see if there are any Fabian herbs. Are open pit mines any good? Let’s hit the gold line too!”

“yes!”

Fabian, who was examining the bush with eyes burning with desire, suddenly asked Baron Howard Solon.

“But what do herbs look like?”
