Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1487



Only Noblemtl

Episode 1487. The water in this neighborhood is bad.

Elio glanced at the man asking, “Where are you from?”

The man in his thirties with a muscular body was obviously a gangster.

This kind of thing was not new, as I had witnessed it countless times in the forest.

“at home.”

The man, Carmine, frowned at the young man’s unexpected and sly answer.

Normally, if you were in this situation in a foreign land, you would be flustered, but the young man was very calm.

He thought he couldn’t be pushed by him, so he continued to ask.

“Where is your home?”

Carmine spoke slyly.

They pretend to be friendly, but in reality, it is an action to pressure the other person.

Elio looked at the man with a sullen face and asked back.

“You don’t seem to be a police officer, or a vigilante? Why are you asking so many questions?”

In an instant, Carmine and his companions’ faces turned red.

They were upset when a young man who looked three or four years younger than them spoke to them informally.

The humiliation that Carmine felt, especially when he spoke directly to the young man, was indescribable.

Carmine took his hand off the young man and stood up abruptly.

“You still speak informally to me like that, you punk. Do you know who I am?”

“If you don’t know who you are, go home and ask your mother.”

“이런 개새끼가!”

When the young man unexpectedly brought up his parents, Carmine immediately swung his fist.

Just before the man’s fist reached his head, Elio caught the man’s fist with his palm.

For a moment, silence fell over the room.

The guests who had been watching the incident were silent from the moment the fight broke out.

Then a scream burst out of Carmine’s mouth.

“Ahh! Stop! Stop!”

Carmine’s fist, held in the young man’s hand, was drained of blood and turned white.

Elio said, putting more strength into his hands.

“Polite speech.”

“That, that’s enough!”

Only then did Elio let go of the man’s hand.

Carmine took a few steps back, holding his sore hand.

His colleagues looked back and forth between Carmine and the young man, not knowing what to do.

If I continue, the young man will look unusual, and if I back off, I will hesitate because I will feel embarrassed.

A dry spit gulped down Carmine’s throat.

There’s no way he wouldn’t know what his colleagues’ gazes mean.

‘Fuck, there’s no way he’s a knight… … What the hell is he doing?’

Slash Land is known to be a harsh place even in the North, so it is unlikely that a knight would have come there.

Just looking at his attire, he was far from being a knight.

First of all, he wasn’t even wearing the common gambitson (quilted armor) that is standard for a knight.

No matter how many times I look at it, it’s just everyday clothes.

Carmine’s hand slowly moved towards the hilt of the sword.

Then the young man’s mouth opened.

“Hand for hand, sword for sword. You know?”

“… … .”

At those words, Carmine couldn’t move an inch.

The opponent was relaxed even though he knew a sword fight was about to take place.

The thought crossed his mind that if it was an evil force that could immobilize him, he would also be excellent at swordsmanship.

Only then did Carmine come to his senses and slowly lower his hand.

But the excitement didn’t go away right away.

Elio said to the three men standing around the table.

“If you’re not going to fight, then get out. It’s frustrating.”

Carmine asked, gritting his teeth as if in anger.

“What brings you all the way to Slash Land, where even the greatest of people wouldn’t give you anything?”

“I thought you accepted it well when I gave it to you?”

“Who did you give what to?”

“I gave Fabian a slash land and he accepted it very well.”

“Fabian? Are you talking about Lord Cloud?”

“Oh, you know?”

“How could a person from Slash Land not know your lord’s name… … No, more than that, you gave Slash Land to our lord?”

“But? Why? Is there a problem?”

Then Carmine’s face suddenly distorted.

The person who handed over Slash Land to Baron Cloud was Count Elio Lagoa, the Grand Master.

“Huh! Do you think such a lie would work in Slash Land? Our lord inherited Slash Land from Count Lagoa. Are you even Count Lagoa?”

Carmine’s words made his companions laugh heartily.

If you don’t have the courage to fight, you should leave, but instead, you stay and get stuck.

There’s no way Elio, who’s been through a lot in the green forest, wouldn’t have noticed.

“The water in this neighborhood is not good.”

One of Carmine’s colleagues responded with a grin.

“If the water is good, it must be Slash Land?”

As Elio shook his head, the door opened and new people came in.

They were armed and were a security force.

Carmine approached the police chief and pretended to know him.

“Cult Brother, welcome.”

“Why? Did you have another accident?”

The security force’s leader, Cult, quickly looked around the interior of the building.

But the table was fine and there were no visible signs of damage.

“It’s not me, it’s some rascal pretending to be a noble.”

“Pretending to be a noble?”

The cult frowned.

Impersonating a noble was a felony, not only in the Empire but also in the North.

Carmine’s finger pointed at the young man.

“That bastard impersonated a noble, a great noble at that.”

“What are you talking about? Say it in simple terms.”

“He said he gave Slash Land to our lord. That means he is Count Lagoa. So he is pretending to be a great noble.”

“Is it true?”

The cult looked at Carmine with ambiguous eyes.

Because it was hard to believe, considering Carmine’s usual behavior.

“It wasn’t just me who heard it. My colleagues heard it, and so did everyone else here. Hey, you, tell me. Did I lie?”

When Carmine pointed to someone and asked, the person he was talking to shook their head with a reluctant expression.

“You saw it? I told you it was real.”

Leaving the proud Carmine behind, the cult approached the strange young man.

“I am Cult, the 3rd division leader of the Slash Land Police Force. It’s my first time seeing you. Where are you from and who are you?”

“… … .”

Elio thought for a moment.

When I ask where I come from, I can’t come up with a suitable answer.

policy?

Abyss?

Or the lower world?

If there was a place with a connection here, I would have chosen that place, but after handing everything over to Fabian, no place came to mind.

“He’s suspicious. Arrest him.”

When the young man hesitated, the cult gave the order for his arrest without hesitation.

As soon as the order was given, three police officers pounced on the young man without asking any questions.

The security guards grabbed Elio by both arms and lifted him up.

Elio asked with a frown.

“Can you do this without even checking who it is? What if I’m a noble?”

Then the cultist replied with a smirk.

“The nobles of the North don’t walk around like you. Judging from the way you dress, you seem to have come from the South, don’t you?”

“That’s right.”

“Since you’re pretending to be a noble, you should be hanged or forced to do hard labor. If you show any room for improvement, it could end with a warning. The chief of the police force has that much discretion.”

“What do you see as room for improvement?”

“It’s a ransom. What are you going to do with it?”

It’s a request for money.

Elio looked around at the security guards and thugs with bewildered eyes.

How can a chief of police demand money so openly in front of so many witnesses?

I got a feel for what Slashland was like.

“If I give you money, you’ll share it with them, right?”

Elio gestured at the thugs with his chin.

“That’s none of your business. You just have to pay the ransom and leave. But since it’s me, I’m going to end it like this. If I had met other leaders, I wouldn’t have been able to even pick up the bones.”

“It’s a tough place for an outsider to live.”

“Do you know where that is not? If you’re going to be upset, go back to your hometown. No one called you here.”

“Is it there?”

“You do? Do you know anyone in Slash Land?”

The cult looked at the young man with nervous eyes.

Elio nodded.

“Of course. Do you think I don’t know anyone? No, I don’t know anyone, so why would I come all the way to such a barren place? This is the first time in my life that I’ve seen the police team up with gangsters and prey on travelers.”

“Who, who is it that you are talking about? Not only did you impersonate a noble, but you even tried to frame the good police! Who are you? Who is that guy you think you know?”

“Lord Fabian.”

“… … .”

The cult was speechless for a moment, just staring blankly at the young man’s face.

Carmine quickly intervened.

“Brother, don’t fall for that guy’s nonsense. He even said earlier that he handed over Slash Land to the lord with his own mouth. He’s a guy who lies every time he opens his mouth.”

Only then did the cultist’s face turn bright red as he realized he had been tricked.

“This kid! Playing with people?”

The cultist took a step towards the young man and pulled his fist back like lightning.

It’s like trying to hit the young man in the face.

But Elio was faster than him.

With a ‘snap!’ the cult flew backwards.

It was so fast that the onlookers thought the cult had leapt backwards on its own.

Four security guards reflexively drew their swords.

Just as they were about to rush at the young man, his body disappeared from the spot.

Then, the sound of ‘Crack!’ rang out four times in succession.

Four security guards were thrown backwards with a loud noise.

As the security force he had trusted collapsed, Carmine slowly backed away.

Elio snapped his finger at him.

Carmine met the young man’s eyes and forced a smile to ask.

“Me?”

“Yeah, there must be a lord in Slash Land too?”

“Oh, of course.”

“Give me guidance.”

“Are you speaking to Yeongjuseong?”

“Yes, Yeongju Castle.”

“Right now?”

“Why? Is there a problem?”

“Well, it takes another half day from here to Yeongju Castle. It’s almost nighttime… … .”

“Really? Then we can leave in the morning.”

“Ah, in the morning… … .”

Carmine muttered in a weary voice.

I feel like I’ve been caught trying to extort money from a seemingly innocent stranger.

The police woke up a moment later and watched the young man’s expression before running away.

Elio didn’t bother to catch them as they ran away.

Anyway, no matter who they are, they were just Son Oh-gong in the palm of Buddha’s hand.

Carmine’s colleagues also disappeared into thin air during that time.

Be that as it may, Elio kept Carmine by his side as his guide.

The next day.

Elio rode a sled driven by Carmine and raced towards the castle.

Did we run for about an hour?

Suddenly, a hungry demon emerged from the frozen forest.

It seems that since there is no food, they are trying to prey on humans.

Carmine, who was in a state of panic, beat the reindeer with his stick like crazy.

The reindeer, surprised by the sight of the devil, also ran forward, foaming at the mouth.

Elio defeated the beast that followed him by throwing coins without Carmine knowing.

Carmine drove the sled with all his might, not even knowing that Masoo was dead.

The castle was a full half-day’s journey from a small town on the outskirts of Slash Land.

Around noon, a sled came sliding up to the main gate of Yeongju Castle and stopped.

Elio got off the sled and nodded to Carmine.

It means to take the lead.

As Carmine approached the gate guards with a trembling face, one of the guards asked.

“What’s going on?”

“I am Carmine of Denali Village. An outsider asked to see the lord… …and I brought him here.”

“What is your name?”

“This is Carmine. From Denali Village… … .”

“Other than you. What is the name of the outsider who wants to meet the lord?”

“ah…….”

Carmine, who had been scratching the back of his head with an embarrassed face, turned back to the young man.

“They asked me what my name was.”

“This is Elio Lagoada.”

“Oh, yes.”

Carmine, who was about to turn around absentmindedly, asked back with a startled expression.

“Who are you?”

“Elio Lagoa. Count and adoptive father of Lord Fabian.”

“… … .”

Carmine looked at the young man with a hot face.

Who would have thought that the rascal who was about to take advantage of them was none other than Count Elio Lagoa, the hero of the North!
