Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1269

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

Safe area EXO too.

Bar Baron.

Six men sat together in a corner with two tables close together.

Looking at his wild eyes and uneven Gambison (quilted armor), he was clearly a mercenary.

Among them, a somewhat mean-looking mercenary looked left and right and spoke in a whisper.

“And what are those clouds? Even though it rains all the time in the great forest, I have never seen such clouds before. That only happens in open pit mines. “Could it have been magic?”

Then the mercenaries’ attention all turned to their leader, Baron Rain Forest.

This is because I wanted to know something about it since it was something he planned and promoted.

But that was something even Baron Rainforest didn’t expect.

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

Baron Rainforest silently poured a tin cup full of mead.

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

The mead made using wild honey and edible berries within the Abyss was known to not only taste good but also be very helpful in maintaining health.

People might ask me about my health out of the blue, but that’s because I don’t know the Abyss.

Despite its beautiful scenery, the Abyss was not good for humans.

When you exert effort, you quickly feel tired and your nerves become sharp, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep.

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

Whatever the reason, mead was the most popular drink in the Abyss because it relieved not only fatigue but also sharp nerves.

Baron Rainforest muttered to himself as he stared at the yellow liquid in the tin cup.

“Fuck, a mercenary drinks mead. “You’re right.”

Then the mean-looking mercenary, Drain, said something with the intention of drawing him into conversation.

“Captain, mead is not important right now. As those hatchlings adapt to the Abyss, they will become more difficult to kill. Somehow before that… … .”

“Otherwise, it’s okay.”

Drain asked back with a shocked expression on Baron Rainforest’s words.

“You’re quitting?”

“Why are you so surprised? “So you were just going to follow them around the Abyss?”

“It’s because it’s a waste. You saw those women, right? “These women are difficult to find even in the empire.”

“Are you saying a woman is better than treasure?”

“Treasure will always stay there, but women are different, right? Hey guys. “Am I wrong?”

The other mercenaries nodded vigorously in response to 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 a goddess.”

“Those women are definitely better than treasure.”

Drain said with a triumphant expression.

“Did you hear? Everyone says women are better than treasure. Take revenge on the guy who threw shit on your life, and get a girl too. “How good is it?”

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

“Who in the world fights from the front these days? “A magic gun is originally meant to be fired from behind.”

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

“I wasn’t lucky at that time. Who knew that dark clouds would suddenly appear? “If it weren’t for the dark clouds, we could have killed all of those babies.”

“Luck is also a skill.”

“Hey, why are you doing that? Are you having a hard time remembering your old feelings when you actually want to kill him? “Because he’s an old subordinate?”

“You sound like an old friend. “My life was ruined because of that bastard.”

“But why do you keep speaking weakly? I’ve robbed adventurers in the Abyss more than once. “It’s not a difficult task with the magic guns we have.”

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

“As I said, I wasn’t so lucky back then… … .”

Before Drain could finish speaking, someone suddenly interrupted.

“It’s not luck. And you can never kill them with that crappy magic gun you have.”

The mercenaries suddenly looked at the face of the woman who had intervened and then secretly looked away.

Auria Charles, the leader of the Falcon mercenaries, sat down across from Rain Forest and spoke to the two mercenaries sitting next to him.

“You two, go somewhere else for a moment and drink. “Because I have something to talk about with your captain.”

The two people moved to another place without even saying a word.

If you are captured by the Falcon mercenary leader, you will be left alone as you are dead in the Abyss.

Baron Rain Forest, who was staring at the Falcon mercenary leader with grave eyes, asked.

“Have we met before?”

“no.”

“For that matter, you speak as if you know us well?”

“I saw you by chance during the day today. “At the entrance to the Abyss, they were doing what mojiris do.”

“If you saw it, you wouldn’t run to the vigilante.”

“I don’t have any proof, but I don’t like them as much as you do.”

“Do you know them well?”

In Rain Forest’s eyes, Lee Chae was young.

Judging by his tone, the Falcon mercenary leader seemed to know the adventurers well.

“I can say I know better than you. But I saw earlier that you were using a magic gun. Where did you get it?”

At that moment, Rain Forest misunderstood that the opponent came because of the magic gun.

“If the magic gun is your goal, you’ve come to the wrong place. “Because I have no intention of selling.”

As Rain Forest made a straight face, Auria Charles laughed.

“Don’t misunderstand. “Did you forget what I said?”

Rain Forest, who had stopped, remembered the words ‘crappy magic gun’.

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

However, most mercenary groups did not even have such flimsy magic guns.

This is because empires and kingdoms strongly regulate the general magic gun trade.

Auria Charles, who sensed pride in his tone of voice, looked at the other person with new eyes.

‘Well, there are only six mercenaries with two magic guns… … .’

If other mercenary groups found out, things would turn upside down.

The reality was that even mid-level mercenary groups like the Falcon Mercenaries did not have a single magic gun.

“Let me tell you in advance, I am not interested in your magic gun. But I’m curious. “How could you have two magic guns?”

“I was a northern noble. I was planning to bury my bones in the kingdom’s army, but due to the fault of a subordinate who lacked social skills, I was stripped of my position and kicked out. When I returned to the estate, the lord did not even pay attention to me, who had been dishonorably discharged. “I stole it from the armory before leaving the futureless territory.”

“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 they carried out such a ridiculous surprise attack.”

Baron Rain Forest became enraged at Auria Charles’ words.

“What a ridiculous surprise attack. “If it hadn’t been for the unfortunate clouds, we would have succeeded.”

“If there weren’t dark clouds, we wouldn’t have succeeded. No, maybe the dark clouds saved your lives.”

“Dark clouds saved us? “What kind of nonsense is that?”

“As dark clouds gathered and the surprise attack was disrupted, you fled the scene right away, right? So, he’s still alive to this day.”

“That’s right. “But you haven’t answered my question yet.”

Auriah Charles looked at Baron Rainforest with pity.

“I guess you don’t know how successful your subordinate has been?”

“Did he become successful?”

“Baron Fabian Cloud, also known as the ‘Knight of the Rift’ in the North. Is this your first time hearing this?”

“Has he already been given the title of Baron?”

“Tsk tsk! Even though you’re from the North, you’re in the dark about the situation in the North. ah! “I guess so.”

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

Baron Rain Forest gritted his teeth and asked after hearing Auria Charles’ words.

“What contribution did he make?”

“I heard there were cracks in the scutum (ice wall) in the north last winter. Through the crack, demons came over and waged war against the northern kingdoms, in which Elio Lagoa and Fabian Cloud made a great contribution. “For his achievements at that time, Fabian Cloud was awarded the title of Baron.”

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

Baron Rainforest gulped down the mead as if his stomach was burning.

“I haven’t told you the important thing yet. Unlike you, your subordinate was very, very lucky. “The superior he served in the north was Viscount Elio Lagoa.”

“Are you talking about that young adventurer that Fabian was following around?”

Baron Rainforest tilted his head at the name he seemed to have heard before.

“is it so. “If you know who he is, you will agree that ‘the dark cloud saved your life.’”

“Is he even a sword master?”

“Heh! do not be surprised. He is a grand master on par with Archduke Kaiser Knauf. So he recently received the title of count in the empire.”

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

“that’s right. Now do you see how lucky you are?”

“… … .”

Baron Rainforest blinked for a while, as if he couldn’t feel it.

“It didn’t look like that at all… … .”

“Yes? With such an ordinary face, who could possibly think he was a Grand Master? “I knew he was a mess and if I had met him without knowing, he would have been in big trouble.”

“shit.”

The world really sucks.

Who would have thought that Fabian, the man who ruined him, would suddenly rise to prominence.

Baron Rainforest reached for the bottle with a resigned look on his face.

If Count Elio Lagoa is next to Fabian, revenge is over.

Then, Auria Charles’ voice reached his ears.

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

“Is there such a thing?”

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

Auriah Charles looked at Baron Rainforest with meaningful eyes.

Parton Mountain.

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

Elio and his group are visiting a development area.

Elio, who saw the gold strings hanging all over the mountain, asked Merdev, the leader.

“Brother! “What is that line?”

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

“What kind of owner is there in the dungeon?”

“It was drawn unilaterally by the kingdom, empire, and mercenary guild that first developed this place.”

“They are like day robbers. “What’s inside that gold string?”

“I know it’s a rare herb colony.”

“But can it be done with just one gold string? “I think there are people who sneak over and collect it?”

“There are surveillance posts everywhere, so if you get caught, you die. Still, like you said, there are people who secretly collect it.”

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

“Individuals do not have the power to protect it, so they inform mercenaries or noble families of their location and receive money. Then they play the gold string again.”

“Wow, it’s not your land, so you draw a line and pretend to be the owner. This is ridiculous. Fabian, keep your eyes peeled to see if there are any herbs. Are open pit mines a big deal? “Let’s play the gold string too!”

“yes!”

Fabian, who was scanning the bushes with eyes burning with desire, suddenly asked Baron Howard Solon.

“And what do herbs look like?”
