Chapter 1136

Episode 1136. Sir, you made a big mistake

, said Fabian to the stunned Viscount Elio Lagoa.

“Didn’t the Viscount also say that mages were terrifying a few days ago?”

“Being cruel and manipulating papers are two different things. What do you think, Count?”

Elio saw Count Omar of Larva.

Still, it was because he thought that the Count knew more about wizards than Fabian, a lower nobleman.

After thinking for a moment, Count Larva Omar opened his mouth.

“It is the Imperial Security Service’s job to arrest criminals in the Empire. According to the Mage Tower’s explanation, the security guard arrested the criminal and handed it over to the Mage Tower. Do you remember any specific details on the papers?”

“About that.”

“As far as I know, the Security Guard and the Mage Tower are not intertwined by interests. It means that there is no reason to manipulate the documents for the Mage Tower. If you go to the local police department where the prisoner was arrested, they will be able to verify the authenticity of the papers.”

“ah!”

An exclamation escaped Elio’s lips.

At that time, I was disappointed and didn’t even think about that, but I want to do a trick.

young Fabian asked hastily.

“Where were you arrested?”

“What was Ape in the County of Obidos? Ape... Aperio? right. Aperio. Do you know where Count Obidos is?”

“Haha... The empire is vast, so I don’t know until I go to the government office and check it out.”

Count Larva Omar smiled awkwardly.

It was because there were 17 principalities in the empire, so I couldn’t figure it out because I had just heard about it.

The story about the beastman was built up with that.

Since there was no need to go to the government office right away, the topic naturally turned to the original purpose.

“By the way, how did you go? Did you know anything about Celestiality in the Taboola Tower?”

In response to Fabian’s question, Elio took out the paper the Marquis had given him and put it down.

“He told me a poem titled The Sky. It was originally written in an ancient language, but it was translated into the common language of the continent.”

The Count, who picked up the paper and checked its contents, handed it to Fabian.

In the meantime, Elio explained the words and sentences that appeared in the poem.

said Fabian, gently putting the paper down.

“It seems that even wizards have nothing to do. How could you have studied such a short poem for thousands of years?”

“You should be grateful. Thanks to that, we got to know the contents without even moving.”

“Where is the land protruding like an awl at the eastern end of the continent? Should I go to the government office and find out?”

Fabian muttered as if talking to himself.

Then Count Larva Omar lifted his chin slightly and said:

“If it is in that area, I know. It is now called ‘Fiestra’. It belongs to the Duchy of Lorraine, an imperial monarchy.”

“ah! Is that so? Are you familiar with geography?”

Fabian looked at the Count with admiration.

At the same time, I thought to myself, ‘As expected, the great nobility is different no matter what it is.

Elio asked as if checking the paper.

“If it’s an Imperial Monarchy, then it’s part of the Empire, right?”

“That’s right. It is one of the 17 principalities. I remember the famous naval battle that took place there during the Imperial War.”

“Is it far from here?”

“If you start from Jedo, you have to pass through five principalities... It’s a long distance.”

It took about 10 days to cross one duchy using a wagon, so five principalities was quite a distance.

Elio thought deeply.

“At that distance, it would be difficult to conduct a preliminary survey, so I should move after meeting the pagoda owners. I hope the Earl of Obidos is nearby...”

He wanted to investigate the prisoner’s affairs before leaving for Fiestra.

It was difficult even if it was too far from the island to deal with it before meeting the tower owners.

Fabian stared at the troubled Viscount Elio Lagoa and asked.

“why? Will you give up if it’s as far as Fiestra?”

“Would you like me to give up?”

“That’s what I said because I didn’t think that would be the case with the Viscount’s personality. Whether you’re near or far, you’ll have to check the bottom to be satisfied, right?”

“You should have seen that prisoner’s expression. Seriously, I would have gone back to see the Marquis.”

around noon.

A two-headed carriage stopped in front of the county of Obidos.

A wagon carrying Elio and his friends.

Baron Walter Beck of the government office said ’10 days away’, but Elio saved time to rest and arrived a day earlier.

As such, both the coachman and the horse were clearly tired.

Elio, who got off the carriage, said to the coachman.

“Good job, coachman. You can go back to Jedo by yourself.”

At the words ‘go alone’, the dying coachman’s face bloomed.

“Yes yes. The Viscount also worked hard to come a long way.”

The coachman, who had been cringing, disappeared with the carriage without looking back to see if he would catch him.

Fabian, who had been watching blankly, hurriedly spoke to Viscount Helio Lagoa.

“No, why are you just sending the wagon? What are you going to do when you return?”

“I try to go faster.”

“how?”

Then Elio pointed to the clouds in the sky.

“ah!”

Fabian understood Viscount Elio Lagoa’s meaning and did not ask further.

Count Larva Omar, who was watching the conversation between the two, asked Fabian sneakily.

“Does Lord Lagoa have a faster means than a chariot?”

“You will see later. You will be surprised.”

At Fabian’s meaningful words, the count did not ask any more in the face of a great nobleman.

Elio said, pointing to the huge mansion built behind the steel gate.

“No time for Fabian.”

“yes.”

It was just about time for Fabian to turn around.

One step ahead of him, the guards guarding the county approached.

The guards noticed that the three were knights and asked politely.

“This is Count Obidos. What did you come for?”

Then Fabian stepped out.

“This is Count Larva Omar, next to him is Viscount Elio Lagoa and I am Baron Fabian Cloud. I came to see Count Obidos. Is the Count inside?”

“There is. I will put a message inside, so please wait a moment.”

The guards treated the guests politely, since they were a count and a viscount.

Soon after, a smart-looking guard ran toward the mansion.

Count of Obidos.

central hall.

The count’s butler, Baron Armin Rippers, accompanied the nobles of the Northern Kingdom who had visited without notice and moved to the central hall.

After a while, he introduced the guests to Count Edgar Obidos, who was sitting at the table of honor.

“These are Count Larva Omar, lord of Baylem Kingdom, Viscount Helio Lagoa, lord of the North, and Baron Fabian Cloud, who accompanies them.”

Count Edgar Obidos nodded and looked closely at the three.

Since the other party was a nobleman of the empire, Count Larva Omar greeted them first on behalf of the party.

“I am Count Omar of Larva. I ran from the islands in need of the wise Count’s help.”

“I am the Count of Baylem Kingdom... We, the Duchy of Pommernburg and the Kingdom of Baylem, have no exchanges, so are you a little embarrassed to come and help?”

Even with the same count, the status of the imperial count is remarkably high.

For that reason, Count Larva Omar was using honorifics and Count Edgar Obidos was using Haoche.

Earl Larva Omar, hesitant, decided to just choose the straight attack method.

It’s because it’s not normal to come and ask for help when you don’t have a one-sided relationship.

He confessed that Viscount Elio Lagoa had met a beast girl in the Taboola Magic Tower.

“...so I came all the way here to determine whether the record about the number of people is true or false. I hope you will help me with the investigation without the slightest resentment.”

Then Count Edgar Obidos said with a grave face.

“You made a big mistake. If I have a close relationship with the Mage Tower, why are you making such a statement in front of me to take care of yourself?”
