Episode 1355. The crazy guy was scarier than the demon-possessed guy.
Elio looked at Fabian with an angry face.
I was sent away saying that I would die if I stayed in Minos, but I don’t know why it suddenly came back.
I saved him with my quick thinking, but if I had been a little late, wouldn’t I have turned into an idiot?
When Count Elio Lagoa seemed genuinely angry, Fabian quickly explained what had happened.
“… … If the Southern Kingdom army’s great counterattack is successful, it will definitely be because of that new weapon. We concluded that the developer of the new weapon, or the arms dealer supplying it to the southern kingdoms, may be the culprits of the confusion. I came here because I wanted to quickly let Lord Lagoa know about it… … “He was arrested by the imperial army.”
“The Southern Kingdom army is planning a major counterattack with a new weapon?”
“The commander of the Southern Kingdom Army said so. Don’t you know, Lord Lagoa? “Once he becomes a company commander, he has many opportunities to access advanced information.”
“If that’s true, it would be difficult to predict the situation of the war even an inch ahead.”
“you’re right. “Isn’t there a ‘spearhead of chaos’ at the root?”
“That is highly likely.”
“there is!”
Fabian said in a confident tone.
This is because it was the most notable activity in the war between the Empire and the Southern Kingdom.
Elio thought for a while and asked.
“What about the other southern kingdoms? Will they also participate in the great counteroffensive?”
“The Southern Kingdom military commanders I met in Krazion naturally believed that would be the case. I heard that the armies of other southern kingdoms have actually gathered in the Dnirov Kingdom and the Urum Kingdom. “As soon as they confirm the power of the new weapon, they will join the war.”
“Huh!”
A sigh came out of Elio’s mouth.
Until now, it had been a war between several kingdoms and empires near the Great Forest.
However, if the entire Southern Kingdom moved, the scale of the war would become as large as the past imperial wars.
“At a time like this, you are arresting and interrogating me, a close associate of Count Lagoa? The Imperial Army staff also seem to be out of their minds.”
“You believed in Exitium and tried to touch me. “Don’t call yourself a grand master.”
“Then can I go back to Crasion?”
“I don’t think I need to go.”
“You said I would die if I stayed?”
“Marquis Theo Stauren, who was targeting us, is dead. “The imperial army will be quiet for the time being.”
“aha! But why did you kill the Marquis of Stauren?”
Elio shrugged his shoulders and answered.
“I warned you that you would die if you touched me… … . “He didn’t listen.”
“Ouch! Is that why the Imperial Army staff’s eyes turned away?”
“It may not necessarily be because of that reason, but… … . “I guess it affected you to some extent?”
“I guess it’s because of that, not to what extent? Isn’t the Marquis of Stauren the crown prince’s closest confidant? He killed such a man… … . You didn’t dare say anything to Lord Lagoa, but instead you took out your anger on the easygoing me, right? “Isn’t that just the composition?”
Elio, who had nothing to say about it, quickly changed the topic.
“Were you investigated by the staff?”
“At first it was an investigator, but at some point it changed to Count Rand Getty?”
“What did he say?”
“Why did you go to Crasion? It is said that the Southern Kingdom is preparing a major counterattack. If you have any information, please report it. “Is that so?”
“That’s it.”
“yes? What?”
“We arrested you to investigate whether you passed on information about the Imperial Army to the Southern Kingdom and whether you knew anything about the Southern Kingdom’s great counterattack.”
“That’s the superficial reason. In reality, Lord Lagoa killed the Marquis and took me away!”
“look. You went around Peromuros and went to Crasion, right? So, when you met with the commander of the Southern Kingdom Army, you probably talked about the Imperial Army? From the imperial military’s point of view, that’s espionage. Moreover, the counterattack is very important information for the imperial military. “Your arrest wasn’t just to embarrass me.”
“Wow! driving me crazy. This is not something Sir Lagoa, who had an accident, would say. “I was captured because Sir Lagoa killed the Marquis!”
“Who doesn’t? You admitted that I might be a little like that. But that’s not everything. Should I go back to the Expeditionary Force Chief of Staff and ask who is right?”
“Oh my! That’s it. Why are you making such excuses when you could just admit that ‘it happened because of me’? “Is someone going to kidnap me?”
When Fabian made a straight face, Elio didn’t say anything anymore.
“Yes, it’s all my fault. You haven’t done anything wrong. Are you done?”
“You should have done that right away. “If it had been that way from the beginning, the story wouldn’t have gotten this long.”
“stop! stop. “I feel like my ears are bleeding.”
“Lord Lagoa, blood is coming out of your ears, right? “Every time Lord Lagoa blames me for everything, my heart bleeds.”
“okay. Tell me to stop because I did something wrong. please.”
“Don’t ever blame others again. Lord Lagoa, problems arise even when he breathes, so think of it as all my fault.”
“that’s right. “It’s all my fault, so let’s just shut up now.”
“yes. Then, can I also follow Lord Lagoa to Minos?”
“It won’t be long.”
“why?”
“If nothing happens with the imperial army, we plan to move over to the southern kingdom.”
Elio’s goal was to find and eliminate the ‘spearhead of chaos’, and if there were no suspicious people in the imperial army, it was natural to move to Krazion.
“All right. “I will also diligently monitor the imperial military’s movements.”
“no. You just stay still. There’s no way the imperial army would like you because you were arrested for ‘the crime of benefiting the enemy.’ “It will only raise more suspicion.”
“So you just want me to stay in the chalet?”
“That’s what helps. “If you wander around and get arrested by the imperial army again, things will go wrong.”
“Oh, the crown prince, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, will not allow it.”
“You don’t know what people do. If the crown prince, annoyed by you running around red-faced, pretends to be crazy and unleashes Exitium… … . You can get caught again. No matter how I was back then, I couldn’t get it as easily as I did this time.”
“No way. Exitium is a weapon that gives ordinary people (musketeers) the power of a sword expert level knight… … . Would the crown prince solve that? “The order of the world will change, right?”
“A sheep with a ‘lion’s heart’ is stronger than a lion with a ‘lamb’s heart’? A musketeer is, after all, a musketeer. Although he became a lion with Exitium, he had the ‘heart of a sheep.’ “They cannot go against the will of those in power.”
“Are you saying that the positions of knights and wizards will not change?”
“No, it means that the person in power will not lose his position. “Not all knights and wizards are powerful people.”
Fabian looked at Count Elio Lagoa with strange eyes.
The metaphor of the lion and the lamb was a little strange, but I thought I understood what was being said.
“ah! Looking at times like this, it doesn’t seem like Lord Lagoa’s head is bad either?”
“Did you think I was crazy?”
“Because you don’t use your head at all. To be honest, Sir Lagoa hasn’t used his brain until now, has he? “You said strong people don’t even think?”
“Well, this isn’t a thinking head…” … What can I say… … . Um, yes, that’s right. insight! It’s insight. There is a difference between using your eyes to see through the essence of a situation and using your brain. Insight just happens.”
“Ah, yes.”
Fabian answered half-heartedly and walked ahead toward the city.
Since it was already late at night, Elio and Fabian decided to look for accommodation first.
The streets of the city at war were filled with only the occasional imperial army, with no residents in sight.
The two went to a building that was still brightly lit.
As the two entered, a middle-aged man approached them cautiously, as if to greet them.
“Are you by any chance looking for a place to stay?”
“That’s right. “Can I have dinner?”
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and answered Fabian’s question after not having eaten anything all day.
“I shouldn’t have done it in the first place, but… … . The customer’s face looked like he had starved for several days… … . If you don’t mind the noodles, I can cook them for you right away.”
“Oh my! I will eat noodles with gratitude. “I starved all day today.”
Elio clicked his tongue at those words.
“Tsk tsk! “Didn’t they give you anything to eat?”
“I did well not to eat. If I had eaten it, I would have vomited it all. “Even after I came to my senses, I felt nauseous for a long time, as if I was seasick.”
The owner noticed and intervened in the conversation between the two.
“I will serve the noodles quickly.”
When the owner found an apron, put it on, and disappeared into the kitchen, the two went to an empty seat and sat down.
Elio, looking out onto the dark street, suddenly asked.
“Are you feeling okay? “I heard the aftereffects of mental magic are so scary.”
“it’s okay. I keep hearing something… … . “It’s bearable.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You hear people talking in the market place, right? “It sounds like something you can forget.”
“Hey, just hearing that is scary. “Is it like a ghost?”
“Oh, no way. I just hear a buzzing sound. But if I concentrate to hear what it means, I can’t hear it again.”
“It seems like a very shy ghost.”
“Because it’s not a ghost!”
Fabian, who was already feeling uncomfortable, let out a loud noise.
Elio, startled by the sudden action, blinked and said.
“Or no, why are you yelling? Is this something it doesn’t do? “Are you crazy?”
Also, fearing that Count Elio Lagoa might say, ‘A stick is the only medicine for a crazy person,’ Fabian quickly waved his hand.
“no. “I’m not crazy.”
“But why are you yelling? men and horses.”
“I keep hearing strange noises and I’m dying of anxiety, but you say it’s a ghost… … “I’m annoyed.”
“You can’t yell at anyone just because you’re annoyed.”
“Yes, yes. “I will be careful.”
Elio looked at Fabian with suspicious eyes.
I really wondered if I was possessed by a ghost.
However, he quickly withdrew his suspicions when he did not sense fraud in Fabian – a characteristic characteristic of a person who has come to know him.
“I said it wasn’t a ghost.”
“know.”
Fabian smiled at Elio’s indifferent words.
“Really not?”
“I said no. “You said no too.”
“Did you see the thief calling himself a thief? “It’s not the work of a ghost, right?”
“that’s right. “I’m hearing auditory hallucinations as a result of the mental magic.”
“iced coffee! thank god. “It was definitely an auditory hallucination!”
“what? “Did you make a fuss about saying no without any certainty?”
“I hope not. I feel much lighter because I have auditory hallucinations. ha ha ha!”
Fabian, who had been downcast, changed his attitude and this time burst into laughter.
Elio, who was watching this closely, asked.
“Hey, did you say it rained in your heart and the sun came out?”
“yes? why?”
“I feel like my emotional ups and downs are too severe. “I feel like a crazy person doing this.”
“Hey, are you crazy? “As you live, you can feel good and then feel bad.”
“I understand, but don’t go back and forth too much. “I was more scared of a crazy person than a person possessed by a ghost.”
Fabian was about to retort when the owner came out holding noodles.
When Elio and Fabian ate half of their noodles.
Suddenly, from afar, ‘Boom!’ thud! thud!’ And the sound of a magic cannon being fired was heard.
The two people ignored the sound as they often heard it around Peromuros and focused on playing with their chopsticks.
This is when Elio and Fabian stuffed their mouths with noodles.
Suddenly, ‘Kwaang!’ One wall was blown away with an explosion sound.
Fragments of the shattered building flew inside, but luckily they were blocked by Elio’s self-defense skills and fell down.
Elio, who had been blinking with a bewildered expression for a while, turned his head.
A panoramic view of the small city was visible through the collapsed wall.
Magical cannonballs were falling like a meteor shower over the city occupied by the imperial army.
