Episode 1487. The water in this neighborhood is bad.
Elio glanced at her man asking ‘Where are you from?’
A man in his thirties with a muscular body looked like a gangster at first glance.
This situation was not new to me as I had witnessed it countless times in the green forest.
“at home.”
The man Carmine frowned at the young man’s unexpected sly reply.
Normally you would be embarrassed when faced with a situation like this in a foreign country but the young man was so carefree.
Feeling that he couldn’t be pushed around he continued to ask.
“Where is home?”
Carmine spoke quietly.
They act like they are friendly but in reality they are doing it to put pressure on the other person.
Elio asked back looking at her man with a sullen expression.
“I don’t think it’s a security force is it a vigilante group? “Why are you asking such questions?”
At that moment Carmine and his colleagues’ faces turned red.
They were moved to tears when a young man who looked three or four years younger than them spoke informally to them.
In particular the humiliation felt by Carmine who spoke directly with the young man was indescribable.
Carmine who took his hand away from the young man stood up from his seat and said.
“This guy with no blood on his head always speaks informally. “You bastard do you know who I am?”
“If you don’t know who you are go home and ask your mom.”
“What a bastard!”
Unexpectedly when the young man mentioned his parents Carmine immediately swung his fist at him.
Just before her man’s fist hit her head Elio caught it with his palm.
For a moment there was silence in the room.
As the fight broke out the guests who were watching did not even make a sound.
Soon a scream came out of Carmine’s mouth.
“Ahh! stop! stop!”
Carmine’s fist held in the young man’s hand had lost blood and had turned white.
Elio said putting more pressure on her hand.
“Respectful language.”
“Stop that!”
Only then did Elio let go of her man’s hand.
Carmine took a few steps back clutching her sore hand.
His companions looked at Carmine and the young man in turn not knowing what to do.
When I continue the young man looks out of the ordinary and when I tell him to back out he feels embarrassed and hesitates.
Dry saliva ran down Carmine’s throat.
There’s no way he doesn’t know what his colleagues’ looks mean.
‘There’s no way he’s a fucking knight… What is he doing?’
Slash Land is a place known to be barren even in the north so there is no way a knight would have come there.
Just looking at his attire he was far from a knight.
First of all he wasn’t even wearing the common gambison (quilted armor) that is standard for knights.
No matter how many times I look at it it’s just everyday clothes.
Carmine’s hand slowly moved to the handle of the sword.
At that time the young man’s mouth opened.
“In his hand is a sword in his hand. “You know?”
“….”
Carmine couldn’t move at all.
Even though the opponent knew that a knife fight would occur he was relaxed.
The thought crossed his mind that if he had the grip strength to pin him down his swordsmanship would also be excellent.
Only then did Carmine come to his senses and slowly lowered his hand.
However due to his excitement he did not back down any time soon.
Elio spoke to the three men standing awkwardly around the table.
“If you’re not going to attack me get out of here. “Because it’s frustrating.”
Carmine who was gritting his teeth in frustration asked.
“What brought you to Slash Land which you don’t have even though a great person gave it to you?”
“I heard you received it well because you gave it to me?”
“What did you give to whom?”
“I gave Slash Land to Fabian and he responded well.”
“Fabian? “Are you talking about Lord Cloud?”
“Oh you know?”
“How can a person from Slash Land not know the lord’s name… Or rather you gave Slash Land to our lord?”
“however? why? Is there a problem?”
Then Carmine’s face distorted.
This is because the person who handed over Slash Land to Baron Cloud was the Grand Master Count Elio Lagoa.
“joy! Do you think lies like that would work in slashland? Our lord inherited Slash Land from Count Lagoa. Are you even Count Lagoa?”
Carmine’s companions laughed heartily at his words.
If you don’t have the courage to fight you should leave but instead you stay and languish.
There is no way Elio who has a lot of experience in the green forest could not see that.
“The water in this neighborhood is bad.”
One of Carmine’s colleagues laughed and responded.
“If the water is good will it be Slash Land?”
As Elio was shaking his head the door opened and new people came in.
Armed they were a security force.
Carmine quickly approached the security team leader and pretended to know.
“Welcome Brother Cult.”
“why? Did you have an accident again?”
The security guard cult quickly looked around the inside of the building.
However the table was still intact and there were no signs of any accident.
“It’s not me it’s some wanderer impersonating a nobleman.”
“Are you impersonating a nobleman?”
The cult frowned.
Impersonating a nobleman was a serious crime not only in the Empire but also in the North.
Carmine’s finger pointed at the young man.
“That kid impersonated a nobleman even a great nobleman.”
“What are you talking about? “Say it in an easy-to-understand manner.”
“He said he gave our lord the slashland. What that means is that he is the Count. So it’s an impersonation of a great nobleman.”
“Is it true?”
Cult looked at Carmine with ambiguous eyes.
This was because I couldn’t easily believe it considering Carmine’s usual behavior.
“I’m not the only one who heard it. My colleagues and others here have heard it. Hey you tell me “Did I lie?”
When Carmine pointed to a random person and asked the other person shook his head with a reluctant face.
“You saw it right? “It’s real.”
Leaving behind the triumphant Carmine the cult approached the unfamiliar young man.
“I am Cult leader of the 3rd Division of the Slash Land Security Force. “This is my first time seeing you. Where are you from?”
“….”
Elio thought for a moment.
She asks where she’s from but she can’t think of a suitable answer.
policy?
Abyss?
Or the lower world?
If I had a connection here I would have put it there but after handing everything over to Fabian there was no place in particular that came to mind.
“He’s a suspicious guy. Arrest him.”
When the young man hesitated the cult did not hesitate and ordered his arrest.
When the order was given three police officers attacked the young man without asking.
The security guards grabbed Elio’s arms and lifted him up.
Elio asked with a frown.
“Is it okay to do this without even checking who it is? “What if I were a nobleman?”
Then the cult smiled and answered.
“Northern nobles don’t go around like you. Judging from his attire he looks like a guy from the south right?”
“That’s right.”
“Since you went around pretending to be a nobleman you will either be hanged or forced to work. If there is room for improvement it may end with a warning. “The head of the security force has that much discretion.”
“What do you see as room for improvement?”
“It’s the atonement money. “What are you going to do?”
It means asking for money.
Elio looked around at the security guards and gangsters with bewildered eyes.
How can a security guard openly ask for money in front of so many witnesses?
I got a feel for what kind of place Slash Land was.
“If I give you money you’ll share it with those guys right?”
Elio pointed to her thugs with her chin.
“That’s none of your business. You just have to pay the ransom and leave. Still it’s me so it’s amazing like this. “If I had met other leaders I wouldn’t have been able to find a single bone.”
“It’s a tough place for outsiders to live.”
“Do you think it’s like that somewhere? If you get upset go back to your hometown. “No one called you here.”
“Is there one?”
“There is? By any chance do you know anyone in Slash Land?”
The cult looked at the young man with nervous eyes.
Elio nodded her head.
“Of course there is. Do you think no one will recognize me? No I don’t know anyone so why would I come to such a barren place? “This is the first time in my life that I have seen a place where the security forces join hands with gangsters and prey on travelers.”
“Who is it that stabbed someone on the back? Not only is it not enough to impersonate a nobleman but you are also framing a good police force! Who are you! “Who is this person you say you know!”
“Lord Fabian.”
“….”
The cult was speechless for a moment and only looked at the young man’s face blankly.
Carmine quickly intervened.
“Brother don’t fall for that guy’s nonsense. He also said earlier that he handed over Slash Land to the lord. “He lies every time he opens his mouth.”
Only then did the cult member’s face who thought he had been fooled turn red.
“You bastard! “Playing with people?”
Cult took a step towards the young man and pulled back her fist like a thunderbolt.
The intention was to punch the young man in the face.
But Elio was faster than him.
‘Pakak!’ With a sound the cult flew backwards.
It was so fast that people watching thought the cult had jumped backwards alone.
The four police officers reflexively drew their swords.
Just as they were about to pounce on the young man his body disappeared on the spot.
Followed by ‘Pakak!’ The sound rang out four times in succession.
The four security guards fell backwards with a loud noise.
When the police force he trusted collapsed Carmine slowly took a step back.
Elio snapped her finger at him.
Carmine made eye contact with the young man and asked with a forced smile.
“Me?”
“So there will be a lord’s castle in Slash Land right?”
“Of course.”
“Guide me.”
“Are you talking about Yeongju Castle?”
“Yes Yeongju Castle.”
“Now?”
“why? Is there a problem?”
“It takes another half a day from here to Yeongju Castle. It’s almost night now…”
“okay? “Then we can leave in the morning.”
“Ah in the morning….”
Carmine muttered in a weak voice.
She feels like she got caught trying to extort money from a seemingly clueless stranger.
After a while the security guard woke up looked at the young man and ran away.
Elio didn’t bother to catch them running away.
Anyway I didn’t know who they were so I had to run away to see that it was Son Goku in the Buddha’s palm.
Carmine’s colleagues also quietly disappeared in the gap.
Either way Elio only kept Carmine by her side as her guide.
The next day.
Elio rode Carmine’s snow sled and ran toward Yeongju Castle.
Maybe she ran for an hour or so?
Suddenly a hungry demonic beast jumped out from the frozen forest.
Since there is no food it seems to be trying to attack humans.
Carmine in a panic hit the reindeer with a pole like crazy.
The reindeer surprised to see the beast also ran forward with foam at the mouth.
Elio threw a coin without Carmine’s knowledge and defeated the demon beast that was following him.
Carmine didn’t even know that the horseman was dead and used all his strength to drive the sleigh.
The castle was about half a day away from a small village on the outskirts of Slash Land.
Around noon a sleigh glided towards the main gate of Yeongju Castle and stopped.
Elio got off the sleigh and gave Carmine a gesture of her chin.
It means to take the lead.
As Carmine approached the gate guards with a worried look one of the guards asked.
“What’s going on?”
“My name is Carmine from Denali Village. “A foreigner said he wanted to meet the lord so I brought him here.”
“What is your name?”
“This is Carmine. In Denali Village….”
“Not you. “What is the name of the stranger who wants to meet the lord?”
“ah….”
Carmine who was scratching the back of his head with a embarrassed look returned to the young man.
“I’m asking what your name is?”
“It’s Elio Lagoa.”
“Oh yeah.”
Carmine who was about to turn away without thinking asked back with a surprised face.
“Who are you?”
“Elio Lagoa. He is a count and the adoptive father of Lord Fabian.”
“….”
Carmine looked at the young man with an angry look on his face.
Who would have guessed that the wanderer they were trying to rob was Count Elio Lagoa the hero of the North!
