Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1270



Only Noblemtl

1270 times. Are there that many robbers in the Abyss?

In response to Baron Fabian Cloud’s question, ‘What does the herb look like?’, Baron Howard Solon shrugged his shoulders.

“I also graduated from the Knight Academy, so I’m bad at medicinal herbs.”

“ah… … .”

As Fabian let out an exclamation, Crea, who was next to him, also chimed in.

“I’ve never even looked at medicinal herbs. “If it’s Tain Lok, I don’t know.”

At that moment, Fabian’s eyes turned to the leader, Taine Rok.

Ever since Fabian started hanging out with Baron Solon, Tainrog has been moving around with his guide, Merdev, half of his own accord.

Tain-Rok, who was listening to the conversation behind him, spoke before Fabian could ask.

“Don’t assume that just because you’re a wild person, you know a lot about medicinal herbs. “I am a warrior.”

It means you don’t know.

Fabian grumbled with a disappointed look on his face.

“I knew it would be like this. “We should just focus our efforts on managing the territory, what about medicinal herbs?”

Then young Crea showed interest.

“Do you have a territory?”

I asked that because there was a case where the title of baron and a fief were given together.

“I wasn’t talking about my domain, but Lord Lagoa’s domain in the North and the Empire. Because Lord Lagoa entrusted the management of the estate to me… … .”

“ah!”

An exclamation flowed from Crea’s mouth.

I feel like the relationship between Baron Cloud and Count Lagoa is closer than I thought.

Baron Solon glanced at Baron Cloud with an envious look.

You are serving him like a servant – because of a huge debt – but you are his agent!

There were more rocks than trees near the summit of Mount Parton.

Merdev and Tainrok, who were climbing the sloping rocky area, stopped as if they were tired.

One by one, others who had been following behind them joined the lead.

Under the shade of the tree, Fabian slowly looked down.

Then Fabian, who found dozens of people on the mountainside, asked Merdev.

“Those people seem like ordinary people, right?”

“you’re right. “They must be herbalists.”

“I thought only handymen could come in, but it looks like herbalists can come in as well.”

Because they had to lift the luggage of adventurers and mercenaries, the handymen were able to enter the Abyss.

“After the safety zone was created, regulations have become a little more relaxed. “I understand that even herbalists, blacksmiths, and healers are now permitted to enter.”

“It looks like Exodo has a blacksmith shop.”

“That’s right. You have to constantly repair your armor and weapons. “For things like arrows, you have to buy them from Tombstone.”

“It looks like they only do repairs and no manufacturing?”

“It’s probably because we don’t have time to produce it. “There is only one blacksmith shop.”

“I think it would be better to open a blacksmith shop in Exodo rather than Tombstone.”

“Not really. Because no matter what you do in the Abyss, you get tired quickly… … It’s not easy. “If you work 10 hours in Tombstone, you can only do half that in Exodo.”

“ah! There is such a problem. The air is clearer and cooler than a major forest, so why do I get tired so quickly? “I don’t understand.”

“Scholars say it’s because the air quality is different from the outside world, but the healers at Exodo say something a little different?”

“What are you saying?”

“It’s because of the curse of the Abyss.”

The unexpected answer focused Elio’s attention on Merdev.

“The curse of the Abyss?”

“Yes, you may get tired easily, but if you continue to stay in the Abyss, you will experience hallucinations and auditory hallucinations.”

“Isn’t that because of the stress that comes from living in the dangerous Abyss?”

That was what was being taught in every academy on the continent.

Scholars who studied the Abyss also explained that it was caused by extreme stress.

“Therapists don’t think that way. Once you leave the Abyss, all symptoms disappear without treatment… … . “They say it’s definitely a curse.”

Fabian showed no reaction.

This is because the social status of therapists is insignificant.

Academy graduates generally only listen to the opinions of authority figures.

It was the same for Fabian.

But Elio, who played in a strong game, is different.

Elio, who was admiring the scenery of Luna Mylus and Mount Parton, asked.

“Mer, have you experienced hallucinations or hallucinations?”

“Yes, the reason the Falcon mercenaries went to Tombstone was to treat it.”

“If I go outside, will I be cured?”

“That’s right. “If you stay one night in Tombstone, it disappears like a lie.”

“How long do I have to stay before I start to hallucinate or hear hallucinations?”

“It varies from person to person, but it is said to be approximately one month.”

“That’s fun.”

When Elio showed interest, Fabian intervened.

“It’s such a dangerous place that the stress will reach its peak in a month.”

This is to say that it was not a ‘Curse of the Abyss’ but a natural reaction.

“Fabian.”

“yes?”

“Who do you think will stay in the Abyss longer? Academy professor? “Therapist?”

“Therapists, but they are ignorant.”

“Even if you are ignorant, you will know the phenomenon of the Abyss better than the academy professors.”

“Maybe so. but… … .”

“That’s it. We’ll find out in a month. Is it because of stress, a curse, or some other reason? Am I right? “Saint?”

Luna Mylus smiled and nodded.

“of course. “The root of knowledge is experience.”

“Did you hear? Fabian. Do you want to bet with me too?”

“Stress and the Curse of the Abyss? “If that’s the case, I’d bet on stress.”

“When did I say it was the curse of the Abyss? “I said there might be another reason.”

“Anyway, I’m stressed. “Do not underestimate the research results accumulated over many years.”

“I’m betting it’s the curse of the Abyss, or there could be some other reason. how is it?”

“great. “But what are you betting on?”

“How about a hundred gold like Baron Solon?”

“Pear, 100 gold?”

Fabian looked at Count Elio Lagoa with bewildered eyes.

There’s no way he could have that much money.

There is a saying, ‘Correct your own flaws with the flaws of others.’

Fabian shook his head after seeing Baron Solon fall into the abyss after betting with money he didn’t have.

“I don’t have any money.”

“You don’t have to bet only with the money you have. “Baron Solon did the same.”

“Are you telling me to make such a bet even after seeing the reality of Baron Solon? “I can’t do it.”

“You don’t have faith in the academy professors?”

“I told you I had no money.”

“Of course, it’s not in your hands, but I’ll admit that it’s there just for this time. “How about a hundred gold bet?”

Intrigued, Fabian looked at Baron Solon without realizing it.

At that moment, Baron Howard Solon shook his head as if telling him not to do it.

Only then did Fabian come to his senses and strongly refused.

“I don’t like it. “I won’t do it.”

“okay. “I understand that you lack trust in the academy professors.”

“… … .”

Fabian’s stomach was boiling, but he pretended not to hear it because it wasn’t completely wrong.

Suddenly Elio turned his gaze to Baron Howard Solon.

“Howard. What do you think?”

“yes?”

Baron Howard Solon was surprised when Count Elio Lagoa called him by his name for the first time.

“Who do you think is right, the therapist or the academy professors?”

“… … I do not know.”

To be honest, just a moment ago, I thought it was as stressful as Baron Cloud.

But after hearing the conversation between Count Lagoa and the saint, I somehow lost confidence.

“Okay, if you were to bet 100 gold, where would you bet?”

“I have no money.”

“Who’s to blame? Assuming you bet, which side will you bet on?”

After thinking for a moment, Baron Howard Solon gave an unexpected answer.

“If it’s one of two things, I’d choose a therapist. “It seems like there may be other, unknown reasons.”

“okay? “Do you think the same as me?”

Then Fabian took a different approach.

“Debt is scary. “Aren’t you more concerned about the debtor’s conscience than the driver’s conscience?”

“Do you think everyone is like you? “Howard is not that kind of person.”

When Elio called his name again, Baron Howard Solon’s face lit up.

Fabian did not refute further.

This is because I don’t want to keep making negative comments in front of the excited Baron Howard Solon.

Then Elio spoke.

“good! “Howard, I’ll bet you a hundred gold pieces for you.”

Baron Howard Solon didn’t even take a breath, wondering what this was all about.

Fabian asked on behalf of him, who was staring with a blank expression on his face.

“What do you mean by that?”

“I’ll bet you money you don’t have. “If Howard is right, you will be free from debt.”

“What if I’m wrong? “If I’m right, will you give me a hundred gold?”

“You didn’t participate in the bet. If it’s wrong, you’ll end up feeling a little embarrassed. why? Do you want to bet? “Have you suddenly lost faith in the professors at the academy?”

Fabian was shocked by Count Elio Lagoa’s provocation, but he did not let go.

On the other hand, if I received 100 gold now, there was no use for it, but if I lost the bet, the price I would have to pay was too high.

‘Let’s be patient. I will tell you to pay with your own body just like you did to Baron Solon.’

After thinking that far, Fabian shook his head resolutely.

“I won’t. “I learned, ‘A knight should never say two words.’”

“oh! “Did you learn that at the academy too?”

“yes.”

“I learned something good. “Aren’t the academy professors really stupid?”

Elio now openly laughed at the academy professors.

Still, Fabian did not waver.

This is because there is no benefit to you if you participate in Count Elio Lagoa’s bet.

When the talk about the Abyss was about to die down, Merdev and Tyneok made their move again.

After a while, Elio and his group finally climbed to the top of Mount Parton.

Elio, who was looking at the direction of the development area he had to go to, muttered with a bewildered expression on his face.

“What are all these places?”

Beyond Mount Parton was a desert area where it was difficult to find a single tree.

As if someone had drawn a straight line, the desert is right from where the mountain ends.

The same is true if you look to the left and right.

What can I say? It was as if the Creator had been roughly making it and then suddenly took his hand away.

There was a bigger problem than the bizarre sight.

“Fabian.”

“yes?”

“When we entered that desert. “What do you think will happen if you fire a magic gun here?”

“It’s the perfect place to get ambushed. “Are they following us?”

Elio then turned his gaze to Merdev.

“Mr. Mer, is this the only road to the development area?”

“That’s what we know so far.”

“What about Mount Petra and the Plain of Ebrima?”

“Both are adjacent to risk areas, so development was halted.”

“Are you saying it’s a one-way street?”

“That’s the way it is. If you’re concerned about surprise attack, why not enter the desert after dark? “The Falcon Mercenaries also used to do that when they weren’t feeling well.”

“Are there that many robbers in the Abyss?”

“If more than a month passes, people will become violent and no one knows how they will change.”

“I’m going to turn. “Are there many people who don’t go out of the Abyss?”

Originally, there was a difference between a mercenary and a robber, but they became even more violent!

“The longer you stay in the Abyss, the more violent it becomes, but the pleasure also increases. “There are many adventurers and mercenaries who are addicted to the pleasure and just sit there.”

“That’s shit.”

Elio suddenly started hating the Abyss.

Even though I had hallucinations and auditory hallucinations, the pleasure was too much.

When I thought of Exodo (safe zone village), which seemed peaceful, I got goosebumps.
