Chapter 143: Barn's Investigation

Barn has been in Huttonmarr for several days.

Of course, he wasn't very comfortable along the way.

Because of that mysterious Empire archmage, her purpose is also Huttonmar.

Naturally, Barn did not dare to relax.

He didn't even see through this woman now. What the hell did she want to do.

To say that she simply wanted to take the Bahn car to Huttonmar.

Barn didn't believe it.

A great magician like her still needs to squeeze his carriage.

How is this possible?

It must mean something else.

Maybe it's because of myself. What she wanted to do by herself.

Or what?

Barn couldn't guess.

He didn't know what attracted him to the mysterious Empire's archmage.

So that such a figure can stoop into his own carriage.

This in itself is an unusual thing.

Stay with such people.

Bath always had a sense of insecurity.

It's just this mysterious Imperial Grand Magician.

She didn't make any moves along the way.

It was as if it was really just a ride to Huttonmar in the Bath car.

In the end, Barn didn't know what she meant by doing this.

But the mysterious Archmage of the Empire was separated from them when he arrived at Huttonmar.

Otherwise, Barn had been with a man who had been hiding his head and tail.

He felt like he might be out of shape.

But what's the matter with her coming here?

The situation in the Duchy of Belmar.

Does she want to intervene again?

Or does this have something to do with her?

Forget it, Barn doesn't want to think about it.

All he had to do was fulfill the instructions given to him by His Majesty the Emperor.

It's useless for the others to worry about themselves so much.

Just know that the woman hasn't done anything bad for the empire right now.

The other Barnes had no choice either.

However, come to Huttonmar these days.

Bath was also idle for several days.

Because it's good to leave those things to your own men.

You just need to give them a decision.

Not everything needs to be done yourself.

You just need to take control of some important things.

These experiences.

It's all Barnes himself.

So, Barn didn't go straight to those things.

Rather, it's okay to wander around Huttonmar.

Visiting old friends or something.

Bring a little bit of your own gift. After all, sometimes these relationships can bring unexpected rewards to themselves.

Then, if you're fine, go to the Moonlight Tavern and have a look.

Of course, Barn didn't go to drink.

He didn't like that kind of thing.

Because alcohol numbs himself and makes Barn lose his vigilance around him.

Let him expose his weaknesses.

People who have drunk alcohol generally don't have half the judgment of what they used to be.

Naturally, Barn wouldn't let himself be like this.

He got there just to gather information.

It's not for drinking.

Because the Moonlight Tavern is the place where the Duchy of Belmar issued a commission from Huttonmar.

There are a lot of people who like to be there.

It doesn't matter if it's good to have a glass of wine, or if you're there to chat with someone else or other commissions.

They will always reveal a lot of information, intentionally or unintentionally.

Naturally, this is what Barn wants to collect.

Although some of them are false. It's the kind of wind that comes out of nowhere.

But. You can also analyze a lot of things from it.

Barn is here.

Naturally, it is impossible to just sit there.

Otherwise, Sothia, the owner of the Moonlight Tavern, wouldn't have let Barn in.

If it's all like Barn's, how would she do business?

That's why Barn always has a drink when he comes here.

But don't drink it.

But you can see it from here. The situation in the Duchy of Belmar is quite chaotic right now.

Their parliament is out of control.

I can only let things develop.

But. They, on the other hand, still think it's all their own push.

I have to continue to add fuel to the fire, and I don't want to stop at all.

Barn was a little unconvinced that there was no one in the Principality of Belmar Council who could read it.

If this development continues, the most influential can only be the Duchy of Belmar itself.

Even if a new president of the Great Council comes to power can reverse this trend.

But the rift between them and the church has been planted.

How could the two sides still act as if nothing had happened?

It's like if you put a nail into the wall, even if you can pull it out in the end. But the nail on the wall will still be there.

However, the situation is more confusing.

It's incomprehensible.

On the other hand, the church is clearly playing a good hand.

The beginning of the matter was.

A senior priest of the Church died outside Huttonmar.

In the case of the obvious presence of a crossbow at the scene.

The people of the church can also be beaten back by the parliament of the Duchy of Belmar.

It's kind of incredible.

You have to know such a thing as a crossbow. It's hard to get hold of ordinary forces.

Basically, only the Imperial and Duchy Belmar armies are equipped with some.

However, the controls are very strict. Generally, it is impossible to reveal it to the outside at all.

In that kind of place, there must be forces with military backgrounds involved.

There's not much action on the Empire's side.

Bath is sure of that.

After all, enter the Duchy of Belmar with that kind of thing.

and an ambush near Huttonmar.

Let's not talk about whether this matter is necessary or not.

It's a very dangerous thing for the Empire.

Moreover, it is easy to spot.

The Duchy of Belmar is the only country on the continent that can wrestle with the Empire.

How could he not have a little bit of his own merits?

At least the necessary persistence is certainly there.

A crossbow or something like that.

Either way. It decided that it wouldn't be as small as a crossbow bolt.

No matter how this kind of thing is brought to Huttonmar, no one will find out.

So those things must have been acquired by people in the Duchy of Belmar.

Only then will there be conditions.

The church must have seen that too.

However, they were trapped by the parliament of the Duchy of Belmar.

It can't be opened at all, and there is no way to investigate.

And their direction is okay, it seems that they are also looking for the wrong one.

Let those politicians lead the church by the nose.

Give the feeling to Barn.

It's like tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall.

That's the downside of too much decentralization.

Although it seems that they check and balance each other. They can maintain stability with each other.

However, at critical times.

But they dragged each other back and passed the buck to each other, so that things could not be dealt with quickly.

Or for their own benefit. And attack each other.

But isn't such a Duchy of Belmar what the Empire wants to see?

If only they weren't.

Then the task that His Majesty the Emperor ordered to himself was not at all likely to be completed.
