Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1329

Episode 1329. Why do you care about my origin?
Three days later.
Elio and his group finally returned to Exodo, a village at the beginning of the Abyss.
And, following Fabian’s suggestion, ‘Shouldn’t we celebrate before leaving the Abyss?’, we headed to a nearby bar.
Even though it was still broad daylight, the bar was crowded with customers.
Elio and his group were barely able to fit their butts into the corner seats provided by the clerk.
“Why are there so many people?”
Fabian, who was grumbling, called out to the clerk who was busy going between the tables.
A young, scraggly-looking clerk approached me at a brisk pace.
“yes? “What can I get you?”
“We’ll give you the drinks and snacks we always have, and let’s ask one question. Why are there so many customers in broad daylight? “I think I see not only adventurers and mercenaries, but also handymen.”
Adventurers and mercenaries who enter and exit the Abyss like to drink.
On the other hand, the jobbers were people who came here to make money, so they were far from entertainment.
When I felt like drinking, I would buy it and drink it at my hotel instead of going to a bar.
But now it was different.
The number of people wearing the shabby clothes typical of handymen has increased noticeably.
It’s not like a group of handymen became rich people in a month or so, and I was curious as to why.
“Have you been in the mines or plains until now?”
“how did you know?”
“The Kingdom of Shade has been taken over by the Empire. People from the Southern Kingdom can’t get their hands on things these days. I’m curious about the news outside, and I can’t seem to get anything done… … . “I come in and out of here.”
“When did that happen? “Wasn’t the imperial army being pushed back?”
“It was like that at first. But when the Empire brought in special forces, things completely turned around.”
“Special forces?”
“It was recently known that the Southern Kingdom army started a war because of the steel golem. Until now, the southern kingdoms had been quiet about what was unearthed from the mines of the Abyss. Anyway, I used that as my lead and pushed my way up to the Principality of Topla… … . The imperial prince developed a strange weapon and defeated the steel golem. The good times are gone. After that, the Kingdom of Shade was taken away, and now they are fighting on the border of the Kingdom of Adriatic. So do you think people from the Southern Kingdom would be happy to work there? “Because of the contract, we can’t leave the Abyss, and all we can do is gather together and drink.”
“Wow. “The world turned upside down in just one month?”
“But, you asked for what you always eat…” … . Are you a regular?”
“no?”
“What can I get you?”
The clerk was moved to tears by the customer’s pun, but tried to suppress his emotions and asked back.
This is because if you fight against adventurers or mercenaries, you will only lose yourself.
“Bring the best in this house according to the number of people. “I know that if you tell me to get it on my own, I will beat you all up.”
“I don’t know what kind of bar you’ve been going to, adventurer, but we don’t do that. Then, we will bring the best snacks and drinks according to the number of people.”
The clerk bowed his head and left, as if he didn’t want to talk anymore.
Elio said as Fabian took a bite with an embarrassed expression.
“The young man has spirit.”
“My personality is outstanding because I don’t scold someone even after hearing such arrogant comments.”
“Why is that so cocky? It’s a statement of conviction. Howard, am I wrong?”
Howard nodded vigorously in response to Count Elio Lagoa’s question.
“Lord Lagoa’s words are absolutely correct.”
“It’s not unconditional. “I’m human too, so it’s not unconditional.”
Howard cried out to himself, ‘Where do you see that you are a man?’
How can a being kill not only demonic transcendents but also the gods they serve?
After a while, food and drinks came out.
Elio and his group, who found proper food for the first time in a month, ate and drank hungrily.
After feeling somewhat full, Fabian took a quick look around.
The atmosphere is quite different from a month ago.
When the empire was losing war after war, the atmosphere in the bar was never this dark.
Fabian muttered without realizing it.
“Looking at the atmosphere of the mourning house, it seems like there are many people in the Abyss from the Southern Kingdom?”
Then Howard said:
“You’re surrounded by southern kingdoms.”
“Right.”
Fabian nodded.
Geographically, the empire was far from the Abyss.
As the distance increases, interest tends to decrease.
It is no wonder that the development of the Abyss took place mainly in the Southern Kingdom.
At that time, a mercenary sitting next to me joined in the argument.
“What house of mourning? You speak strangely. “So you are from the Empire?”
The bar, which had been noisy for a moment, suddenly became quiet.
Until now, adventurers and mercenaries in the Abyss had no nationality discrimination.
It was like that when the empire was defeated.
Adventurers and mercenaries from the Southern Kingdom were tolerant of those from the Empire.
The atmosphere was ‘What good is a country to adventurers and mercenaries?’
However, when the Southern Kingdom suffered repeated defeats and the Shade Kingdom was occupied, the atmosphere changed.
Adventurers and mercenaries treated people from the empire harshly.
Considering the families who suffered under the empire, it was probably natural.
The customers’ eyes were fierce when they saw Fabian.
Even the facial expressions of the store clerks who were trying to please customers with forced smiles were not good.
There was no way Fabian, who was quick-witted, could not read such an atmosphere.
“I did pass through the empire. “We are adventurers from the north.”
The tense tension was relieved.
One by one, the bar patrons looked away and started talking again.
Wagner, a middle-aged mercenary man, asked as if confirming.
“Did you say you were from the North?”
“however? “Is there still work left for me?”
“There are still some left. Coincidentally, there is one person in our group from the North. Hey Orlando. “Come here for a moment.”
Wagner called a mercenary who was in another position.
The scattered attention of the bar customers again turned to Elio and the mercenaries.
A young mercenary named Orlando approached hesitantly.
“Orlando, that guy sounds like he’s from the Empire. You say you are from the North? Since you’re from the north, check it out. Are you really from the North? These days, there are a lot of people lying about their hometown.”
Fabian frowned at Wagner’s words.
It wasn’t something I would say in front of people.
When I looked again, the middle-aged mercenary’s reddish face looked like he was drunk.
I wanted to see it out of antipathy towards the empire, but maybe it was just drunkenness.
Orlando, who was watching Wagner, the head of the Balom mercenary group, asked the young man.
“You’re from the North?”
“Yes.”
Fabian, who was inwardly displeased, said nothing.
If you ask who he is, his identity as a nobleman will eventually be revealed, so he went out comfortably.
“Somewhere in the north… … .”
“I am from Anatolia, Escatos Kingdom. “Where are you from?”
“This is the Kingdom of Balem. But at first meeting, I said a little… … .”
“I am the Baron. “Are you a nobleman?”
“… … .”
Orlando, a commoner, could not answer and just blinked.
Wagner, who had been watching the conversation between the two with a slanted eye, intervened.
“If you go on an adventure, you just go on an adventure. Why do nobles show up here? Shit. Orlando, don’t be discouraged. If you want to be treated like a noble, go north. “There is nothing like that in the Abyss.”
Then Fabian looked at the middle-aged mercenary with cold eyes.
“Hey you! ‘If you go on an adventure, you’re just an adventurer’, so why do you ask about my origins? “In a place where nobles and commoners are not considered, do you want to be concerned about your origins?”
“Hehe. Northern nobleman. Since you’re from the North, I won’t say anything more. Why are you asking about my origin? That’s because the Empire invaded the Southern Kingdom. “Don’t you, a nobleman, hate the Empire in the North?”
“I heard you well. Then, when the Southern Kingdom occupied the city of the Principality of Topla, did you apologize to the people from the empire?”
“Fuck! That’s it… … . “It’s not because the empire started a war first!”
“Then shouldn’t you have treated people from the empire as a bit of a mess back then like you do now? Why did you start a war? Back then, adventurers from the empire were welcomed. When I came to the Abyss, I saw that they accepted it without even asking. Why are you so anxious now that you can’t catch people from the empire? ah! The Southern Kingdom won then, and now they lost? Where is the country for adventurers and mercenaries? Wasn’t the motherland the place that paid money to hire mercenaries? If you’ve had a drink, go to your dorm and sleep quietly. “Don’t argue with other adventurers for no reason.”
Wagner, who was huffing at Fabian’s harsh words, raised his eyes and shouted.
“It’s my heart, you bastard! I tried to look at him because he was from the North, but he was completely blind to me! You lost today! Where can you find a cub with no blood on its head? … . evil!”
Wagner, who was making a fuss as if he was going to attack him at any moment, sat down holding his face.
“My teeth… … . what? 어떤 개새끼가… … . evil!”
Wagner, who had jumped up and grabbed his missing tooth, fell backwards.
The Balom mercenaries at the bar gathered around Wagner.
Some people surrounded Elio and his group.
Elio said, eating the peanuts he was holding one by one.
“That’s what happens if you make fun of your snout in front of me. If anyone wants to eat peanuts again, let me know. “I’ll put it in your mouth.”
The Balom mercenaries picked up the unconscious Wagner and placed him on a chair.
A lump the size of a chestnut rose in the middle of Wagner’s forehead.
The Balom mercenaries looked at the young man and Wagner alternately with embarrassed faces.
If he defeated Wagner, the head of the house, with a peanut, it means he was stronger than anyone could imagine.
However, you can’t just watch it like it’s someone else’s business.
While the mercenaries were just rolling their eyes, Fabian snapped his finger at Orlando.
Orlando’s heart was pounding, but he did not show it and approached the young man.
“If you’re from the North, you’ve probably heard of it at least once, right? Guardian of the Scutum (Ice Wall), Lord of the Slash Lands, Grand Master of the North… … .”
“Eh, I know if you mean Count Elio Lagoa. “You are the pride of the North.”
“The person eating peanuts is none other than Count Elio Lagoa. Next to him is Count Larva Omar of your homeland, the Kingdom of Baylem.”
“… … .”
Orlando, who was looking at Count Elio Lagoa and Count Larva Omar alternately, hurriedly went in front of Count Larva Omar and bowed his head.
It is a sight that shows the extent of Count Larva Omar’s majesty in the Kingdom of Baylem.
“A humble people meets His Excellency the Count.”
Count Larva Omar said, shaking his hands with an embarrassed expression.
“Go away.”
Orlando did not dare to raise his head and took a step back.
Orlando and Balom mercenaries left the bar carrying the unconscious Wagner.
The bar was so quiet that not even a sound could be heard.
There was no one brave enough to speak out in front of Count Elio Lagoa and Count Larva Omar.
Suddenly Fabian grumbled.
“ah! this! Now that I think about it, I didn’t teach you who I am, which is really important. shit.”
Howard asked, laughing.
“Who are you?”
“me? It’s ‘Knight of Tameon’. “Haven’t you heard of it?”
“It feels like I’ve heard it… … It may not seem like it… … . I do not know.”
“I am the first knight to return from scouting Tameon, the land of the demons. Of course, I received some help from Count Lagoa.”
Elio shook his head at his consistent bragging.
