Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 1488

1488 times. If I go this time, I won’t come back again.

Slash Land.

Yeongju Castle.

Finally Elio and Fabian Howard Crea sat down face to face.

When they asked about the conquest of the Abyss Elio briefly told them what happened there.

“…the evil spirit who cured Abranath’s curse returned to the throne and became as hard as stone. “They have changed like the stone statues in the temple.”

Everyone just blinked in shock.

The betrayal of Archduke Knauf and Synclair was one thing but the fact that Count Lagoa saved the evil spirit and that the evil spirit cured Count Lagoa’s curse was something beyond imagination.

“When we went back to where we came in the black sun had disappeared. I thought that EXO had returned to its original place so I went to the village… and as expected the black Abyss entrance was clearly visible. And when I went out I found that it was the Abyss Entry Control Center in the Great Forest.”

“Wow!”

“Hey! “I had no idea it was a black sun.”

“You’ve returned to EXO.”

The three people said one word at a time.

Finally Fabian asked.

“Have you seen the monster of the forest? “I heard the Southern Kingdom is suffering a lot because of those guys.”

“I saw it while moving to Tornuvis with Apostle Anna to the Empire. Everyone walked on two feet like humans and made and used tools. But his head is different from that of a human. There’s a dog’s head and a pig’s head… Ugh! They even talked among themselves. They even rape human women and create mutants. “Shouldn’t we say that the evil spirit created it to ridicule and humiliate Manaptras?”

“The evil spirit is also really terrible.”

Fabian shook his head.

However he did not blindly curse the evil god Shaitin like before.

This is not something that cannot be understood considering the relationship between Manaptras and evil spirits.

“The strongest among them was a monster that resembled the giants of the Abyss. He looks to be over 3 meters tall and is quite strong. It’s a shame because the Empire and Southern Kingdom have Exitium and Thanatos. Without it its downfall would have been a matter of time.”

Crea said her body shaking.

“Ugh! Just hearing those words gives me goosebumps. I used to envy southerners… but now I don’t think I could go to the south even if I were paid money. “I hate it so much.”

After roughly speaking Elio asked Fabian.

“How about Slash Land? “I heard it was barren… but when I came here it seemed to be worse than I thought.”

“Still there are two mana stone mines so it’s worth living. “You can think of it as Yeongji’s source of livelihood.”

“Thank goodness. “The people I met for the first time when I came here tried to rob me so I thought it wasn’t a place for people to live.”

“Huh! Did you do that? What kind of guys are they? “You haven’t already made everyone into idiots right?”

“I’m not someone who always shows off my power. One is the one who came with me and the rest will come out if you investigate him. “But why them?”

Elio looked at Fabian with a puzzled look.

Fabian’s temper seemed to make him rather worried about those guys so I was curious as to why.

“There is a shortage of workers in the mines. “I want to capture them and throw them into the mine.”

“That’s right. “I wondered why you were worried about those guys.”

“If it weren’t for the mine I would have cut off all the branches.”

“By the way I met a demonic beast on the way. “It seems like there are still demonic beasts?”

“Is it only a day or two that a demonic beast has been wandering around the North? Still major thoroughfares are regularly patrolled. “I also go out to subjugate whenever I have time.”

“Okay now that you are a lord try to develop yourself well.”

“Yes but how long do you plan to stay here Count?”

“why? “Do you want me to leave quickly?”

“It can’t be. I hope the Count will stay by my side for a long time.”

“Six months.”

“It’s short. “I thought you would be around for a few years.”

Fabian looked at Count Lagoa with regretful eyes.

I thought we’d be together for years like last time but it’s only been six months…

“And if I go this time I will never come back.”

“….”

Fabian as well as Howard and Crea kept their mouths shut with confused expressions on their faces.

Fabian gave Count Lagoa the lord’s room and moved into his guest room.

Elio who had nothing else to do wandered around Slash Land at will.

At the same time she captured and killed all the demonic beasts she saw.

In just one month Slashland was transformed into one of the safest areas in the North.

This is because demons have disappeared throughout Slash Land.

Nomads and wanderers raising reindeer heard the rumor and flocked to Slash Land.

The reason northerners were reluctant to go to Slash Land was because it was located in the northernmost part and there were many demons.

Slash Land was full of demonic beasts driven out from the north.

However since it is safer than the royal castle it is natural for people to flock there.

Fabian employed wanderers as mine workers.

Workers in northern mines are generally divided into two categories.

These are people and workers who have committed sins like Carmine or cults.

If the offenders were forced to work in the mines the workers received daily wages.

As people gathered Slash Land developed so quickly that it was unrecognizable.

In the three months since Elio arrived the population of Yeongju Castle has doubled.

Rather than residents from the outskirts gathering in search of safety most people came from other areas.

Most reindeer herders settled on the outskirts of Slashland.

The number of reindeer nomads was not comparable to the population of Yeongju but the number of reindeer that increased was enormous.

Still because the slash land was so large the number of reindeer herders steadily increased.

Time passed quickly.

It’s been over five months since Elio came to Slash Land.

Today again Elio wandered around Slash Land from morning until sunset.

Now it was difficult for her to find a single demon beast even if she traveled across the wide slash land.

Of course there are still demonic beasts in the north so one or two will come over.

To that extent patrols by vigilantes or Fabian are sufficient.

A smile appeared on Elio’s face as he saw the nomad tent and herd of reindeer in the distance.

‘I guess this is enough right?’

When I first came to Slash Land I was shocked.

He had no idea that the land he handed over to Fabian would be in such a mess.

This is why it seemed like it would be better to live as a knight of a lord rather than a lord.

So he diligently cleaned the demon beast.

It’s not just demonic beasts.

The thugs and gangsters who sucked the blood of the residents were sent to the mana stone mine.

Even those who were watching their backs were captured and thrown into the mine.

After running around without stopping for five months I finally feel like I have made progress.

Elio soon realized that it was time for him to leave Slash Land.

If he used the Kowloon Domain God he could go to the islands in one go but he had to meet Count Omar one last time.

If she wants to meet Count Omar he must go to the Kingdom of Baylum.

Elio who was once again sweeping the Slash Land rushed to the Lord’s Castle like the wind.

Slash Land Lord Castle.

Fabian asked with a surprised look on his face that Elio was leaving now.

“You’re leaving already? “Isn’t there still a month left?”

“I plan to go to the Kingdom of Baylem and meet Count Omar.”

“If you say so I will take care of you.”

“It’s done. Now that the foundation of Slash Land is finally being laid where will the lord go? You work hard to manage your territory. “They could send spies from nearby territories to cause trouble.”

“Oh no way.”

“no way? Man are you still saying that after hearing that I was stabbed in the back by Archduke Knauf and Synclair? Did you know that the nomads and reindeer that came to Slash Land fell from the sky? They are all people who flowed in from surrounding territories. From the lords’ point of view their wealth was leaked. “Do you know that there are one or two people who want Slash Land to fail?”

Fabian did not become more stubborn in response to Count Lagoa’s nagging.

Because what the Count said was not wrong at all.

“Even so there are disturbing rumors circulating within the castle these days. After listening to his words I don’t know if it was the work of those sent by the surrounding lords.”

“What rumor?”

“It seems like I am secretly running warlocks. “Otherwise we won’t be able to eliminate the demonic beasts so quickly.”

Immediately after the black sun disappeared the warlocks hid in the shadows again.

The aristocratic society once again became passionate about hunting down warlocks.

Now that the power of Mana Prass has been revived he is defeated by the warlock again.

Nowadays there is nothing more dishonorable than the rumor that it is associated with a warlock.

“Soon there will be talk of capturing people and conducting secret experiments on them.”

“It’s already coming out. “They should have caught one or two people.”

Fabian glanced at Count Lagoa.

This was a side effect of capturing all the gangsters and throwing them into the mine.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Me? “Isn’t it?”

“Don’t let them go easily. There is a saying in my hometown that habits from the age of three will last until you are eighty. “People don’t change easily.”

“Yes just thinking about the mine will make you vomit.”

“Catch those who are spreading strange rumors and throw them all into the mine.”

“Again?”

“Then are you going to let him keep doing that?”

“I guess so. All right. “Did you learn how to manage your estate separately?”

“no.”

“But you are much better than me who graduated from the Academy.”

“It’s because I know human nature quite well. By the way when do you plan on marrying Sarah?”

“Miss Sarah will be visiting Slashland with her parents next spring. “She plans to corner her then.”

“I’m sorry that her stepfather won’t be able to attend her son’s wedding.”

“it’s okay.”

“Be sure to tell the Cloud family.”

“I will.”

Elio looked at Fabian blankly.

Fabian Cloud Lagoa.

He changed his surname to Cloud and now became a member of the Lagoa family.

He met him at the Hir Hera garrison and became a foster son so you wouldn’t know it was a human relationship.

“And congratulations on becoming a sword expert.”

“Huh! “I haven’t told you yet did you know?”

“You’re a fool if you don’t know when you’re spewing out so much mana from your whole body. Run the little sky circuit diligently. Then the mana won’t spread outward like it does now.”

“Is there any benefit to not stretching outward?”

“If you hide your skills you will have an advantage when fighting the enemy. “Can’t you see me?”

“ah! “I will diligently run the small sky circuit without anyone knowing that I am a sword expert.”

“okay. “There’s nothing good about advertising something like that.”

That evening.

Elio invited Fabian and Howard Crea to dinner and said goodbye.

Howard and Crea also offered to take him to the Kingdom of Baylem but Elio did not accept it.

Even though Fabian reached Sword Expert he was unable to manage Slash Land on his own.

The dinner which also served as a farewell party continued until late at night.

The farewell party ended when Fabian and Howard were so drunk that normal conversation became impossible.

The next morning dawned like any other day.

Elio quietly left the castle before Fabian and Howard Crea even woke up.
