Episode 1384. Are you pretending to be drunk? Are you drunk?
The moment Elio saw Ariette Albano and the young man, he thought it was a good thing he came to replace Fabian.
‘Tsk!’
Fabian and Ariette Albano seem similar in this respect.
When Elio clicked his tongue in strange sadness, the young man looked at him with crooked eyes and said.
“Get out of the way.”
Elio looked the young man up and down as he spoke casually.
Looking at the luxuriously textured fabric and the large jewel embedded in the long sword’s pummel (end of the handle), it looked like the child of a great nobleman.
‘If that’s the case, he must have been drinking with Miss Ariette.’
People who disparaged Bardos called them ‘high-class hostesses.’
If you think about it, it wasn’t wrong.
Bardos became the nobles’ conversation partners and received allowances in return.
The relationship between Miss Ariette and this young man was likely to be like that.
“Did you say that to me?”
Elio is strong against the strong and weak against the weak.
The young man’s overbearing tone was like a provocation to him.
The young man, Haimer Kivtere, frowned as a man of similar age boldly came out.
“Do you know who I am?”
“Do you know who I am?”
As the other person repeated his words, Haimer Kivtere shook his head.
I think I met an asshole.
If Ms. Ariette sobers up while dealing with a guy like this, she will only be at a loss.
He took out a silver coin from his pocket and flicked it lightly toward the other person’s face.
It means eat this and leave.
Tuk. Clink.
The silver coin that hit Elio’s forehead fell to the floor.
“What are you doing? now? “Did you hit me?”
Elio glared at the young man with murderous eyes.
When things turned out differently than expected, Haimer Kivtere hurriedly revealed himself.
“I am Haimer Kivtere, Grand Duke of the Kivtere Counts. If you leave now, I will treat you as if it never happened. “What can we do?”
“Does the imperial law say that anyone who is a prince of a count family can be attacked?”
“Don’t misunderstand that I gave you money to cover the cost of alcohol. “But who are you to treat me so poorly?”
In fact, he is said to be the grand duke of the count family, but he is only a nobleman and has no title yet.
However, people served as they pleased, keeping title succession in mind.
As a result, Haimer Kivtere’s feelings were quite upset right now.
If it weren’t for Ariette Albano next to him, it would have exploded a long time ago.
At that time, Ariette Albano must have sobered up a bit and spoke with wide-open eyes.
“uh? Count Lagoa? What are you doing here? Even if you have something to say to me… … .”
Haimer Kivtere gently removed his hand from Ariette and asked as if confirming.
“Did you say you were a count now?”
“yes… … . He is Count Elio Lagoa, the hero of the North and the great Grand Master. Yes? “Count?”
Instead of answering, Elio glared at Haimer Kivtere.
“Have you been drugged by Ms. Ariette’s drink?”
Haimer Kivtere, startled, waved his hands furiously.
“Oh, no. I do that because I drink a lot of wine. I have never even touched medicine. “I can swear to you.”
He, who had been bossy just a moment ago, had suddenly turned into a gentle sheep.
“There’s a war in the country, and you’re drinking with Bardos by your side. If you do not enlist by tomorrow, I will challenge the Count Kivtere to a duel for insulting me. “What shall we do?”
“I will enlist.”
“I will check tomorrow. If you lied to avoid this situation… … . I will make you regret being born. “Go and see.”
“Yes, yes… … .”
Haimer Kivtere’s shoulders slumped as he bowed and left.
Elio seated Ariette Albano in a nearby seat.
Ariette Albano repeatedly hit her face with her palm to sober up.
Elio, who had been staring at her silently, opened his mouth.
“Are you pretending to be drunk? Are you drunk?”
At that moment, Ariette Albano stopped moving.
Elio continued.
“I was going to change from Countess to Archduke, but I feel sorry if I interrupted you. “Fabian is a similar guy, so it’s not new to me.”
“ha! I know I’ll look weird. “I was really angry and drank a lot today.”
“You don’t have to make excuses to me. Let’s ask just one question. I understand that the Marquis Juliana Leola sponsored Miss Ariette. The wizards of the Magic Tower live disconnected from the outside world. The Marquis Leola did the same.”
“… … .”
“Most of Marquis Leola’s external activities were related to Miss Arriet. “Like watching a performance or having a meal together.”
“Is that a problem?”
“Not at all. You do know that it was Marquis Leola who killed Baron Sofia, right? I am now looking for the escaped Marquis Leola. Do you know of any place the Marquis might go?”
“I don’t know.”
Even if Ariette Albano knew, she had no intention of saying anything.
The reason Marquis Leola did that was for his own happiness.
How could you betray such a marquis!
“Even the Marquis’ hometown or a place specifically mentioned… … .”
Ariette Albano slowly turned her head at Count Lagoa’s expectant gaze.
The Marquis Leola was a person who treated him better than his own mother.
So sometimes I imagined that she was my biological mother.
“The Marquis has never once talked about his hometown.”
But there is a place I want to go.
“Any places you mentioned in particular?”
“no.”
Elio, who was staring at Ariette’s face, spoke calmly.
“You know that I am a magic swordsman, right?”
“Are you going to use mental magic on me?”
Then Elio shook his shoulders and laughed.
“Did I say something that funny?”
“Sometimes when I catch bad guys and ask them something, they always have something to say to me. Do you know what that is?”
“… … .”
“People who have something to hide always ask, ‘Are you going to use mind magic?’ “Isn’t it fun?”
“I heard that mental magic should not be used because of the aftereffects.”
“that’s right. That’s why it’s only used against heinous criminals.”
“I am not a criminal.”
Ariette Albano protested with a completely sober face.
Whether she was pretending to be drunk or was drunk, the situation she was in right now was bound to make her come to her senses.
“Do not worry. “My mental magic has no aftereffects.”
“If I hadn’t broken up with Baron Fabian, you wouldn’t have said that, right?”
It is a statement that makes the other person feel guilty.
But Elio didn’t even blink.
“If Fabian is hiding something from me, I can use it on him too. “My mind magic is safe enough for that.”
At that moment, Ariette Albano spoke with a straight face.
“No matter how much you are the Count, don’t make such promises. Unless you’re God, you can’t be perfect.”
She raised her thorns like a hedgehog in danger.
Now he was more worried about his own sanity than his loyalty to Marquis Leola.
“If you’re that worried, say it yourself. “What story do you want to hide?”
“… … .”
Ariette Albano’s eyes wavered.
Elio, who is impatient, felt upset, but did not press for an answer.
Because I know that it is not an easy decision for her either.
After a while, Ariette Albano spoke.
“The Marquis wanted to have an ancient magic laboratory like Megistus.”
“Megistus?”
“He is the Arch Mage of the Tabula Magic Tower. He envied me because he discovered an ancient magic laboratory and used it as a laboratory. “That kind of thing is too much for an alchemist.”
“So you found an ancient magic laboratory?”
“It can’t be. Once you reach the point where you’re in the magic tower, you can’t move around freely. But how can we find an ancient magic laboratory? “You just asked for something similar.”
“Something similar?”
“I heard it was an old castle that was owned by a wizard.”
“Where is it?”
“I just know it’s in the Appendel Mountains.”
“Apendel Mountain?”
“The first mountain you see after leaving the northern part of the archipelago is Mount Appendel.”
Elio stared at Ariette Albano.
His face was resigned, but his eyes were unwavering, unlike before.
“It must have been a difficult decision, but thank you.”
“Well, if I happen to meet Marquis Leola there… … . “Can you please tell me that you figured it out using mind magic?”
Elio stood up without answering.
Would you like me to lie to a practitioner of speech?
‘I thought it was similar to Fabian… … She was a plus woman.’
Elio, who was about to turn around, said.
“Marquis Leola and I are not in a relationship to talk about such things.”
Of course, if Marquis Leola asks, ‘How did you know?’, I am willing to teach him.
Elio left Calliope without seeing her face.
Elio, who returned to Fermosa Estella, looked around the first floor.
Since it was dinner time, I checked to see if Fabian had come down.
just as expected?
Fabian was eating dinner sitting by the window with a good view.
Elio walked forward with great strides and flopped down across from him.
“Aren’t you getting a great place by staying in the cheapest room?”
“I pay as much as one silver a day, so I have to earn it at least like this. “Did your job go well?”
“uh.”
Elio answered roughly and called the clerk to order a meal.
“You had a close relationship with the Marquis. Did you teach him obediently?”
“When I told him I was using mental magic, he explained it to me.”
“Hehe.”
Fabian, who remembered that scene, laughed cheerfully.
The term mind magic inspires fear in people.
If Ms. Arriet had been quick-witted, she would have voluntarily confessed this before being attacked.
Elio did not bother to say what he saw in Calliope.
Not only because he doesn’t know the relationship between Haimer Kivtere and Miss Ariette, but because he wants to protect Fabian’s memories.
“Tomorrow, let’s go find the Marquis together with me.”
“Where is it?”
“It’s Mount Appendel… … “It’s the first mountain I see after leaving the north.”
“You went into the mountain?”
“It looks like the old castle there was saved separately.”
Elio told the story he heard from Miss Ariette.
“The wizard’s shout… … “It’s mysterious.”
“He must have his own room in the magic tower, but I don’t know what his greed is.”
“Who knows the black inside of a wizard?”
“Anyway, is there anything about the general mobilization order?”
“They say there are more casualties on the southern front than expected, so they say a general mobilization order will be issued soon.”
“If that happens, won’t it really be chaos?”
“Don’t you think it will become more difficult to find the vanguard of the chaos?”
“Oh really! I thought we were almost there… … ”
Elio grumbled.
Suddenly Thanatos came out and everything went awry.
“You said you met the magic engineer who created Thanatos a few days ago, right?”
“I said no.”
“Then who is it? If it’s not Artenium or Thanatos… … ”
“If I’m not an alchemist or magic engineer, should I investigate the empire’s great nobles, the imperial family, and influential kings?”
“But you haven’t fully investigated the Magic Tower yet, have you?”
“That’s not true.”
Meanwhile, the clerk served the food.
Elio and Fabian sat quietly engrossed in their meal for a while.
Fabian, who was drinking tea as a habit after meals, suddenly muttered.
“If you think about it, isn’t it all because of Exitium that the world has changed so rapidly and the war has become bigger and bigger?”
“I guess so.”
“What happened to the magic engineers who created it?”
“It happened fifty years ago, so aren’t we all old and dead now? “Archduke Kaiser Knauf, who was called his predecessor, also died of old age.”
Elio tilted his head, as if he wasn’t sure what he was saying.
