Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1492



Only Noblemtl

Episode 1492. Are you ready to go back?

Count Gerald Logan once roamed the kingdom of Balem, but has not left his territory for nearly twenty years.

The nobles talked about him, saying things like, “He was hiding from the bloody struggles of the princes,” or, “He was fed up with political strife and went into seclusion.”

The exact reason is unknown, but that’s how he got his nickname, ‘Old Horse’.

Even Count Logan moved briskly today.

This is because Count Lagoa, the savior of the continent and the Grand Master, has come to the Kingdom of Balem.

On the one hand, it is also to confirm the recently emerged theory of a honeymoon between Count Herman and Count Omar.

Meeting Count Omar was extremely uncomfortable, as we had been cut off from each other for the past four years.

Still, it was necessary to attend in order to ‘see through’ or ‘block’ the greater dangers that might come in the future.

But when I actually participated, the result was the opposite of my concerns.

The savior of the continent cornered Count Aximus, a member of Count Herman’s side, like a rat.

I also watched the duel between Count Lagoa and Count Rade as if I was watching a fire across the river.

Count Lagoa was obviously hostile to the nobles on Count Herman’s side.

Naturally, the eyes looking at Count Omar also softened.

It was definitely like that until just now.

But then Count Lagoa, who had been doing well, suddenly called him and said.

“In my opinion, you are the most cowardly person.”

“… … .”

The old Earl Gerald Logan was startled when the spark suddenly flew towards him.

Until now, Count Lagoa had been suppressing the side of his political enemy, Count Herman.

I saw that and laughed to myself, ‘You are the most cowardly person!’

My face burned red, especially when I heard those words in front of Count Herman, the leader of the opposing side.

“yes?”

Count Logan looked at Count Lagoa with a look of indignation on his face.

It is true that he responded passively to Count Herman’s offensive, but it was not to the extent that he was called ‘the most cowardly person’.

Whether so or not, Elio said with a firm voice.

“Even I, a non-Belhamite, would know that the rumors about Count Omar were lies. That Count Omar killed your concubine and gathered the nobles to take your place? Isn’t that ridiculous? Because of those rumors, you distanced yourself from Count Omar, and he became isolated. You must know that Count Omar is completely isolated. Who would Count Omar bring in to take your place? You should know that the rumors are all lies. Why did you distance yourself when you knew that?”

“You misunderstand.”

“That sounds like a misunderstanding. Shall I tell you why? You were uncomfortable keeping Count Omar by your side after becoming the Sword Master. You were afraid that if you kept Count Omar by your side, your close associates would flock to him. Then, as the rumors said, you thought Count Omar would take your place. That’s why you kept your distance from Count Aximus, even though you knew he was after Count Omar. You let him deal with it as he pleased. Tell me. Did you know that the rumor was false? Didn’t you?”

“I had no idea, Your Majesty. The world was thrown into chaos as the black sun rose. In an age when even blood relatives betrayed each other as easily as eating rice… … there was not a single good word about Count Omar. Not only I, but all the nobles around me were afraid of Count Omar. There were days when I could barely sleep without a sword by my bedside.”

Elio looked at Count Logan with a blushing face.

I could tell even without using the language.

That what he said was true.

The cause was far off, but the result was the same, so it was less embarrassing.

“It is true that you handed Sir Omar over to Count Aximus for whatever reason. When Count Aximus brought in Count Rade, the swordmaster, did you not know who he was dealing with?”

“… … .”

Earl Logan, unable to refute those words, lowered his eyes quietly.

There was no one who did not know who Count Jurgen Rade was after.

Anyway, I hoped that since it had turned out that way, both of them would die or be seriously injured and go into hiding.

If Count Lagoa hadn’t intervened, it certainly would have ended that way.

“Earl Logan, you betrayed Count Omar because he was superior to you. You are a man who can only embrace nobles who are inferior to you. That should give you an idea of ​​the level of you and your entourage.”

Count Logan gritted his teeth at Count Lagoa’s harsh words.

Looking at the results, it was true, so no matter how frustrating it was, it was difficult to protest.

Finally, Elio spoke in a slightly calmer voice.

“You have heard what Count Omar wants. Do not involve Count Omar in your affairs any longer. Do you understand, Count Logan?”

“……yes.”

Frankly, Count Logan felt a little wronged.

Because it was not he who brought Count Omar to him, but rather Count Omar who came to him.

However, I couldn’t bring up the past in front of the icy Count Lagoa.

After a while, the nobles of the Kingdom of Balem left one by one.

The castle, once bustling with nobles, has regained its former tranquility.

When he was left alone with Count Omar, Elio spoke with an awkward expression.

“Ugh, I wonder if I’ve gotten too involved in Sir Omar’s business?”

“No. Thanks to you, I was able to achieve my dream. If it weren’t for Lord Lagoa, I would have been harassed by Count Herman and Count Logan my whole life.”

“But Count Rade.”

“yes.”

“You seem like a man who is used to fighting. Your pride must have been greatly hurt by today’s events… … . After your treatment is over, you may challenge Lord Omar.”

“Hehe, it’s okay. Thanks to Lord Lagoa, I was able to refresh my mind. And when I saw Lord Lagoa’s sparring with him, I realized that he wasn’t at a level where I could be defeated or anything.”

“Haha. Then that’s good.”

Elio laughed lightly at Count Omar’s confident attitude.

It was a remarkable change compared to yesterday when I didn’t even have the will to fight.

“What are you going to do now, Sir Lagoa?”

“I plan to stop by the island and then go back to my hometown.”

“Can I come with you?”

Count Omar, who had suffered for several years, looked at Count Lagoa with expectant eyes.

But Elio refused outright.

“No. Thank you for your kind words, but I must go alone this time.”

The reason he goes to the system is to move to another dimension back to his hometown.

I didn’t want anyone else to know that.

“Oh, I see.”

Count Omar was very sorry, but he gave up cleanly.

Late that evening, Elio continued to chat with Count Omar.

In fact, in both the upper and lower worlds, there were few people who communicated as well with Elio as Count Omar.

Elio was greatly impressed by Count Omar’s words – which were full of insight and life experience.

Count Omar was a wise man, reminiscent of Namgung Yeon.

Near midnight, Elio suddenly said:

“Come to think of it, I have never met Sir Omar’s wife.”

“He died thirty years ago.”

“Oh, I see. Sorry.”

“It’s okay. I should have told you first… … It’s been so long that I’ve completely forgotten. Hehe.”

“Have you been alone since then?”

“It just so happened that way.”

“Is it because you can’t forget your wife?”

“It would be more accurate to say that I didn’t feel the need. I was so busy being the swordsman of the First Prince’s camp that I didn’t have time to take care of my family.”

“ah…….”

A sigh of regret escaped Elio’s mouth.

At first, I felt a sense of sympathy, but after hearing it, I realized that it was very different from me.

“I guess Lord Lagoa still hasn’t forgotten his wife?”

Elio hesitated for a while to answer Count Omar’s question, then asked back.

“Do you believe, Sir Omar, that there is everlasting love in the world?”

“I haven’t experienced it… … but isn’t it somewhere?”

Then Elio smiled and said,

“Hahaha, if Sir Omar misses his wife before he dies, it is like he loved her like that.”

“Is that so? I thought it was just a story about someone far away, but it’s not like that. I thought eternal love was a difficult thing. Hehe.”

“It is difficult for me.”

Count Omar tilted his head, but thought it was a joke and did not ask questions.

The two people who finished their conversation at dawn returned to their respective accommodations.

Dawn, before daybreak.

A mass of white clouds rose above the pitch-black sky of the castle.

Elio left the castle using Tornuvis (the art of fortune telling).

He rode a cloud and went down south.

As I thought it was the last time, the familiar northern scenery felt new to me.

***

Early April.

Empire of Londinium.

Petropolis North District.

A young man looked up at the Great Temple of Mana Phtras from a street where flower petals were fluttering.

The main shrine was just as authoritative as it had been five years ago.

The citizens did not dare to approach the main shrine and circled around it from afar.

It’s an unbelievable transformation, considering that even the inside of the main shrine was filled with trash.

Elio walked slowly to the main temple.

As expected!

As he reached the main temple, unfamiliar temple knights rushed out and blocked his path.

Still, I guess you didn’t forget your promise.

‘I have arranged to meet with Apostle Anna Ramakrishna,’ the temple knights said and took him inside.

After walking a long way behind the main shrine, a small and neat monastery appeared.

As I was standing in front of the monastery with the knights of the temple, the Apostle Anna came out to greet me.

The knights of the temple returned the way they came, and Elio followed the Apostle Anna into the monastery.

“This is where I live. It’s called a sanctuary.”

Elio looked around the monastery with a slightly surprised expression.

Because the Sanctuary was known as the most secret place in the Mana Phtras cult.

Apostle Anna, who was walking quickly, stopped in front of a huge stone monument in the center of the monastery.

Elio’s eyes widened when he saw the stone monument measuring 4 meters wide and 12 meters high.

‘Is this a mana stone?’

Only then did Elio vaguely understand why he had to wait nine months.

This is how we wait for the large mana stone to recharge.

The Apostle Anna stepped back and retreated outside the area of ​​the stone monument.

As she stepped aside, a soft voice came from the sky as if it had been waiting.

-Elio Lagoa. Are you ready to go back?

“yes.”

―No one in the world you belong to will remember you anymore. Do you still want to go back?

“yes.”

-The world you left is different from the world you knew. Do you still want to go back?

“yes.”

Elio didn’t hesitate at all.

The reason he goes to his hometown is because he has something to confirm with Gucheonhyeonnyeo.

As always, the world was outside his control.

―Telemma, immortal power! I will guide you to where you left off by promise. Go.
