Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1365. Destiny… isn’t always sweet

Elio looked at the customers as soon as he entered Fermosa Estella.

indeed! I saw Fabian.

But what kind of beauty are you talking to kindly?

The woman’s face was familiar, so when I looked closely, it was Bardos, whom I had met here before.

Also, it reminded me of Marquis Yuliana Leola, the owner of the Taboola Magic Tower.

‘Top owner wasn’t normal either…’

I don’t know what he’s doing these days.

He walked over to Fabian as he was greeted by the manager.

Ariette Albano, who spotted Count Elio Lagoa one step ahead of Fabian, jumped up from her seat with a puzzled face.

“Count Lagoa. long time no see. I don’t know if you remember, but I’m Ariette Albano, who played and sang here.”

“Long time no see. Of course I remember.”

Elio passed by Ariette Albano and sat down next to Fabian.

“I thought you would be here.”

“How was it?”

Fabian was surprised, but he carefully checked Count Elio Lagoa’s condition.

Ariette Albano, who had been standing there awkwardly, glanced at Fabian and quietly withdrew.

Elio, who had been sitting with a sullen face, replied in an indifferent tone.

“It wasn’t. We just said goodbye and left.”

“ah! So now there is only one person left. It will not go down in history badly.”

It was a black market manager, so someone else could be in charge.

Then Elio suddenly asked.

“What happened?”

“yes? What?”

Fabian, startled, blinked his eyes with an ignorant face.

“She looked friendly with Miss Albano.”

“It’s been a long time since we met and talked…”

Fabian slurred.

To say that his heart was connected is because he seemed shameless even when he saw it.

“It wasn’t like that when I was with Miss Sara in Hirhera, was it?”

“ha!”

A shotgun ceremony flowed from Fabian’s mouth.

He did not want to deceive his master, Count Elio Lagoa.

His hesitant mouth opened with difficulty.

“You know what?”

“You know what to say.”

“I was not fully human. There was an empty hole somewhere.”

“however?”

“That was Miss Ariette. The more I talk to her, the more I feel that ‘this woman is my destiny’. It’s been a little over an hour since we talked, but I think we’ve known each other for ten years. Sir Lagoa doesn’t know this feeling, right?”

“Why do you think I don’t know?”

“Sir Lagoa is not interested in women, is he?”

“It’s because I’ve already met and married such a woman.”

In an instant, ‘Ah!’ came out of Fabian’s mouth. An exclamation flowed out.

I forgot that the other person was already married because I was immersed in my own work.

“Then you know what I’m in right now?”

Elio, who had been silently watching Fabian, spoke in a calm tone.

“Aren’t you the only one who thinks so?”

“Miss Ariette thinks the same as mine. She said something similar to me.”

“okay? Congratulations.”

Elio didn’t ask for more.

Certainly, the two people I had seen a while ago were undoubtedly in love.

“…Aren’t you scolding me?”

Fabian sneakily looked into Count Lagoa’s eyes.

He wondered if he was congratulating him, who scolded him every time he mentioned a woman.

“You seem to be in true love now, so I should congratulate you.”

“thank you.”

“If you look at another woman after Dan and look away… then.”

Elio stared at Fabian with stern eyes.

It’s understandable to be swayed by instincts when you don’t know what love is.

But doing so knowingly is a matter of humanity.

Fabian quietly lowered his eyes, as if his conscience stung even at the thought of it.

“That is a betrayal of those who believe. I don’t stick around people who eat betrayal. Do you know what that means?”

“yes! There is no such thing.”

“You know how to do it. I believe that you have that level of self-discipline.”

“thank you.”

Fabian bowed his head.

I thought Count Lagoa would jump out of the water because of the work in Adria Kingdom.

Surprisingly, however, Count Lagoa did not even mention the name of Baron Sofia Orlova.

“But you’re going back to the North… what did Miss Albano say about it?”

“I haven’t said that yet… but she’s adventurous. He said he wanted to live in the North as well.”

“Treat me well. If you are not from the north, it will be difficult to adapt. In that case, a man needs to be by his side and be really good to him. It’s only real idiots who ask for the other person’s effort.”

“yes. I intend to live with you.”

“If you have that mindset, then I don’t have to worry. After singing about freedom like that, did you manage to think of kicking off the shackles yourself?”

“Because I met the woman of my destiny. If I lose this woman, I think I will live with regret for the rest of my life. Now I think I know why Lord Lagoa put up an iron wall against other women.”

“I heard that people die when they suddenly change… You should be careful.”

“Ah, then all grown ups will die?”

Elio shook his head excitedly.

Anyway, in any situation, he is always a very good talker.

Believing that Count Lagoa had given permission, Fabian called Ariette Albano.

Ariette Albano, who had been watching from a little distance, joined them.

Eventually, the three of them naturally continued their conversation.

Ariette Albano’s eyes were so lively that they even shone as she listened to the adventures of the Great Forest and the Abyss, the war against the demons in Northern Hirhera and Tamion.

Elio seemed to know why Fabian fell in love with her.

In Ariette Albano, Miss Sara’s innocence, Baron Sofia Orlova’s passion, and the nobility of her aristocratic lineage were mixed.

Fabian, the eldest son of Baron Danseung, was Ramus with only the surname of an aristocrat.

Sarah, a commoner, did not have the nobility of an aristocrat, and Baron Sofia Orlova lacked innocence but overflowing passion.

Ariette Albano had all the good qualities of other women.

Nobility of innocence, passion, nobility.

Besides, living in Bardos, she must have met many men whether she liked it or not, so it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that she and Fabian were half of her soul.

Elio acknowledged and blessed the relationship between the two.

Emotions are relative.

Ariette Albano noticed the change in Count Lagoa, who was wary of her.

A piece of darkness had fallen over her face.

In front of Elio and Fabian, she shone more beautifully than ever.

The conversation between the three ended late at night.

Ariette Albano said goodbye with a sad face and withdrew.

When only the two of them were left, Fabian suddenly spoke.

“thank you.”

“what?”

“Thank you for allowing me to have a relationship with Miss Ariette. If Lord Lagoa had objected… I would have really wanted to die.”

“I am not that perverse. You met someone you truly love, but there is no reason to object.”

“Still… you could have not believed it.”

“Of course it’s sudden, but you and Miss Ariette get along well. More than any woman you’ve ever met.”

Elio was also calling him by his first name, probably more comfortable now.

“lol. I guess there is such a thing as fate. I’m so glad I met you so early. Aren’t there a lot of people you never met in your lifetime?”

“Fate… isn’t always sweet. Sometimes I use it to the point of dying.”

Elio looked out the window with a bitter face.

My heart is heavy when I think of Namgung-yeon, who disappeared in the Abyss.

That night, Elio and Fabian stayed at the Fermosa Estella.

Of course, it is not as expensive as before.

It was the cheapest room in Estella, Fermosa, 1 silver per day.

The next morning, the Imperial Intelligence Department came and said, ‘I want to help you find Magenta.’

Elio didn’t hesitate.

From the Empire’s point of view, he would want to use himself to eliminate Magenta, the sword master, but it didn’t matter what the inside story was.

Furthermore, Elio handed over the accommodation fee of 1 silver a day to the Imperial Intelligence Agency.

If you’re going to kill a car, wouldn’t it be polite to pay that much?

The Imperial Intelligence Service accepted Count Helio Lagoa’s proposal.

That way, Elio and Fabian could stay at Fermosa Estella without spending a dime.

Elio and Fabian, who handed over the search for Magenta to the Imperial Intelligence Agency, sat around doing nothing.

Fabian spent most of his time with Ariette Albano.

Elio didn’t scold Fabian, saying, ‘Why don’t you go looking for Magenta?’

It was obvious that no matter how much Fabian, who was from the north, ran around, he would end up with worse results than the Imperial Intelligence Service.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Unlike the northern and southern regions, the central region has seasonal changes like rivers and lakes.

The heat subsided and the wind became cool in the morning and evening.

The green leaves of trees planted along the street were dyed red.

around 3pm.

It was the time when Elio, who was sitting by the window, was looking at the street with nonchalant eyes.

An agent of the Imperial Intelligence Service approached without warning.

Elio slightly turned his head to look at his opponent, and the agent said.

“The target has arrived at Hive in the southern part of the archipelago. He is currently visiting the magic tower in Nam-gu.”

“Which Mage Tower?”

“This is the Adobe Magic Tower.”

For a moment, Elio’s eyes lit up.

If it was the Adobe Mage Tower, it was the first Mage Tower he visited after returning to the islands.

“What kind of magic tower is that?”

“It is a mage tower with roots in the south, and a kingdom-friendly mage tower. It is more famous for alchemy and artifact production than for pure magic.”

“Having roots in the south… does that mean that the origins of the Adobe Mage Tower are in the south?”

“That’s right. Our Intelligence Department’s judgment is that ‘the target seems to have gone to request the production of weapons to be sold to the southern kingdom’.”

Elio nodded.

Looking at Magenta’s behavior so far, it remains that way.

The idea that he was the ‘vanguard of chaos’ was further strengthened.

“Where do you think you will go next?”

“I will go to the Hermetica Mage Tower. It’s because I’ve been secretly visiting the Hermetica Tower before. It is highly likely that the producer of Artenium is in the Hermetica Mage Tower.”

“Do you have any reason to think so?”

He already knew this, but Elio stopped pretending and asked.

“Because the Hermetica Mage Tower is famous for its protection magic. Considering the characteristics of Arthenium, the Hermetica Magic Tower is the most powerful.”

“So, his next destination is the Hermetiga Mage Tower?”

“Yes, I have agents attached, you will find out soon. If we move to another place… I’ll let the Count know right away.”

Elio nodded as if he understood, and the intelligence agent silently left.

Elio, who was looking at the street with indifferent eyes, murmured.

“There are no secrets in this world.”

At that time, Fabian, who had been chatting with Ariette, quietly approached and sat across from Elio.

“What do you say?”

“Magenta appeared in Nam-gu. It seems that the means of transportation has not changed as much as I thought.”

“Lord Lagoa’s Tornubis (fortune telling) is a scam. Normal people take that much.”

“They say you’re a sword master?”

“After not being a great wizard, there is nothing special about being a sword master. What are you going to do now? Are we going to Nam-gu too?”

“no. His next destination is likely to be Hermetica Magic Tower. It will arrive by tomorrow.”

“As expected, the Imperial Intelligence Service is scary.”

“Look at how he came to us in one day. It’s disgusting. Maybe you know everything you did in the kingdom of Adria.”

“Oh no way.”

Fabian waved his hand with a puzzled face.

Free love is not a sin, but it was because Ariette Albano knew nothing good.
