Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1261. Is the great grove’s night always so quiet?

Luna Mylus was heartbroken at Elio’s rather violent reaction.

When they were together in Gangho, the two never raised their voices.

There are things we agree with, but more than that, it’s because Elio followed his will.

But when Elio, whom he met again after 30 years, interrupted her and questioned her as if protesting, Luna Mylus couldn’t help but be taken aback.

“What are you talking about all of a sudden? Why do I hate you and be disappointed?”

“Then why are you keeping your distance from me? Why are you pushing me away when you say you came because you wanted to be with me?”

Elio glared at Luna Mylus with resentful eyes.

In fact, he had been hanging around Luna Mylus all day long.

Every time that happened, she smiled and accepted it all.

However, he only accepted it, but never approached Elio first.

It must have been the iron wall created by his 30-year-old dogfight, or his sense of qualifications that he was older than Elio.

Or maybe it’s a mix of the two.

It was difficult for Elio to discern her complex emotions—simple, if not so.

Luna Mylus, who hesitated, opened her mouth with difficulty.

“You’re still in your late twenties…”

“Is it because of your age? It’s okay. Who would look at your older sister when she is over sixty years old? My sister still looks in her twenties.”

“Others don’t know, but you know. I’m afraid they’ll think it’s the main book that doesn’t fit their age…”

“Am I? Where are you looking? Do you still say things like that after seeing me teasing you all day?”

“Foot!”

At Elio’s words, Luna Mylus burst into laughter.

Surely he’s been quite mean today.

To put it bluntly, it hovered around him like a dog in heat.

Considering his usual personality, it was clear that he was not close to women in another world.

“Why are you laughing?”

Instead of answering, Luna Mylus jumped up from her seat.

“let’s go.”

“yes? Where?”

“Where is the room? Don’t expect to get some rest tonight. You are one year, but I have endured for thirty years.”

After a while, she wrapped her arms around Elio’s arms tightly with both hands.

As Luna Mylus’ body touched his elbow, Elio hurriedly led her to this floor.

***

Next day.

After breakfast, Elio and the others leisurely entered the Great Forest.

Daesurim is so rough that it is difficult for horses and carriages to travel.

Of course, Elio and the others had to move on their own two feet.

Fabian, who was walking along the narrow road in the forest in the lead group, grumbled with a tired face.

“Wow! Surely it won’t be like this until the end? But is this road right?”

Then Baron Howard Solon replied.

“For now, there is only one road, so it will be right. If the road diverges later, then you have to look at the constellations.”

“Have you ever been to the Abyss?”

“It’s my first time too. I only learned how to get to the Abyss in theory at the academy. The only place in the southern kingdom where Abyss travel is practiced is the academy of the kingdom of Adria.”

At those words, Crea, who was from the Adria Kingdom Academy, quietly intervened.

“It’s not until Abyss, but I stay in the Great Forest for three days and then go back. Oh, I’m from Adria Kingdom Academy. I had a great forest experience only in my senior year.”

“ah!”

Fabian looked at Crea with new eyes.

His swordsmanship skills are also top-notch, but I didn’t expect him to have experience in Daesoorim.

“It’s nothing great, so don’t expect it. They say it’s three days, but in fact, it’s just that I stayed at the beginning of the great forest and then went back.”

Then Baron Howard Solon said something.

“Three days in the Great Forest is great. It takes about 15 days to Abyss?”

“As long as you don’t get lost on the road.”

“I believe in you.”

“You know how to see the constellations too, right?”

“Because learning in books is different from reality. I need to check the constellations tonight.”

“If you have any questions, ask anytime. There is a difference between theory and practice.”

“Sure.”

“Is that all?”

“huh? What is missing?”

“Isn’t there something like thank you or something you’ll do for me in return?”

“Ah, thank you. What can I do for you?”

“Hmm, I’ll think about it.”

“Yeah, just say anything.”

“Will you listen to everything I tell you?”

“If it is within my power.”

Fabian, who had heard the two of them chatting, sighed lightly.

Following Count Elio Lagoa and the saint, now Baron Solon and Crea are salting.

Unable to join the conversation between the two, he slipped behind him.

Before long, Fabian mingled with Count Larva Omar and the Paladins who were following him.

But that didn’t last long either.

The heavy-mouthed Count Larva Omar and the paladin said nothing, and Fabian moved away from them again.

The third was Count Elio Lagoa and the saintess.

Fabian’s pace slowed down and he finally met Tinelock, who was at the very rear.

However, Tynelock’s mouth was heavier than that of Larva Count Omar and the Paladin.

We walked together for half a day, but he never gave Fabian a glance.

Fabian, unable to bear the silence, asked first.

“Tinlock-san must have trained aura too, right?”

“exactly.”

“Tynelock-san’s aura doesn’t seem normal. Do you have any secrets?”

Tynlock then glanced at Fabian.

If it was a secret, he rather wanted to ask Count Helio Lagoa.

“When I was young, I ate a hot apple in the Knuckles Mountains and became ill for several days. I’ve never seen an apology like that again. I asked the village elders, but they all said it was their first time hearing about it. Perhaps the reason why I have more aura than other savages is because of that apple.”

“Why do you think it is because of the apology?”

“Have you ever seen an apple that was hot without being roasted?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“After eating it, I got a fever and suffered for three days. I haven’t had a single cold since. The same goes for spirituality. I didn’t have a lot of time to practice Reiki, but I did two or three times more than others.”

“You think it’s because of the hot apple?”

“Because that’s the only thing that’s different from others in my life.”

“I don’t think so. It’s a hot apple that increases aura… It’s amazing.”

“Compared to Lord Lagoa, I am nothing. If I am a candle, Lord Lagoa’s aura is the sun. To be honest, there are many times when I doubt whether Lord Lagoa is human.”

Fabian nodded as if agreeing.

“Do you know how Lord Lagoa’s aura can be like that? Like what I ate or if there is a special training method.”

“Ask Lord Lagoa directly about that. Perhaps he will teach you.”

“Don’t you know Sir Cloud?”

“I can guess, but I don’t want to talk about the lord carelessly.”

Fabian clearly drew a line.

In fact, the reason I told you this far was because I thought that Count Elio Lagoa had accepted him. If it weren’t for that, I would have denied knowing from the start.

I didn’t ask any more because Tine Lock was also an article.

The conversation between the two ended like that.

Maybe an hour has passed since then?

Around the time the sunset burned red, Baron Solon and Crea in the lead stopped.

Baron Solon waited for the people to gather and pointed to an empty lot off the forest road.

“It’s a little early, but it looks like a good place to camp. Crea said that a seat like that is rare in the Great Forest.”

After looking around, Elio and the others left the forest and entered the clearing.

As if someone had used it as a campground, there were traces of a fire burning everywhere.

In the end, Elio and his party also decided to stay overnight there.

People scattered to make their own overnight shelters.

Only Elio’s party and the saintess were sitting leisurely as if it were someone else’s business.

Baron Solon, who was contemplating where to sleep for Count Elio Lagoa, summoned Fabian gently.

“I need to make Lagoa-sama’s bed, but I don’t know how.”

“Oh, then you don’t have to worry about that.”

“Is there anyone else besides me who will make Lord Lagoa’s bed?”

“there is.”

“Who are you? Are you a Holy Knight?”

Baron Solon looked at Fabian with expectant eyes.

Considering the relationship between the saintess and the Count of Lagoa, that possibility was not out of the question.

“no. Lord Lagoa’s bed will be prepared by Lord Lagoa.”

“Sir Lagoa? Are you saying that His Excellency the Count himself does such a thing?”

Baron Solon looked at Fabian with bewildered eyes.

The counts of the southern kingdoms are not doing anything with their own hands, but the counts of the empire make a bed?

“Trust me and wait. Can’t you see me and Sir Omar playing?”

“Come to think of it, why don’t you two prepare?”

“Sir Lagoa has our bed too.”

After speaking, Fabian glanced at Baron Solon.

Although he had been homeless a few times when riding in a stagecoach with Baron Solon and his party, Count Elio Lagoa did not use subspace magic in front of others.

But now the situation is different from then.

Both the saintess’ party and Baron Solon’s party were not meant to pass by for a moment.

Not to mention saints, Baron Solon, a magic swordsman, and Tynelock, a barbarian, were the ones who caught the eyes of Count Elio Lagoa – though they may not be aware of it.

In front of them, it seemed that Count Elio Lagoa would not hide his subspace magic.

just as expected!

Count Elio Lagoa, who had been laughing and chatting with the saintess, suddenly pulled out a tent and a bed from the air.

Having a tent does not mean that a bed is complete.

Fabian patted Baron Solon on the shoulder and walked forward.

“Let’s go pitch a tent.”

“Is that subspace magic?”

“What are you asking out of the blue when you know Lord Lagoa is a magic swordsman?”

“….”

Baron Solon looked at Fabian with devastated eyes.

Even if they are magic swordsmen, most of them only use magic that is less than Circle 4.

Magic is as difficult as swordsmanship, and in some ways more difficult than swordsmanship.

That’s why magic swordsmen don’t succeed so much.

However, sub-space magic is a secret technique of high-ranking wizards, and wizards below the 4th circle do not even know the spell.

I knew that Count Elio Lagoa was the Grand Master, but I thought he would even reach a higher level of magic!

There were two tents Elio took out of Mahadam.

Fabian and Baron Solon diligently set up a tent and put a bed inside.

As soon as Elio and the saintess finished supper, they went into the tent and did not come out.

The other one was to be used by Count Larva Omar, Fabian, and the Holy Knight.

Baron Solon and his party made a bed between the two tents.

A bed was all about laying leaves on a flat floor.

Baron Solon, who was lying on the leaves and looking at the Black Forest, asked Crea.

“Are the nights of the great grove so quiet? From what I learned at the academy, beasts run amok.”

“It’s the first time I’ve had such a quiet night.”

Then, Tinelock muttered to himself.

“It’s like looking at Ishika’s forgotten shrine.”

Baron Solon and Crea shook their heads.

Certainly this strange peace resembled the forgotten temple of Ishika.
