Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1174. The knight commander’s words were right,

and Elio and Fabian ended their argument with embarrassed faces at the knight’s laughter.

As the atmosphere became strange for an instant, Benzel hurriedly opened his mouth.

“sorry. I wasn’t laughing. Seeing the two of you reminds me of my knight academy days.”

Then Fabian, who was in close proximity to her, spoke.

“Okay. The one who made the loud noise in the tavern was at fault. But why eat alone? Are you being bullied?”

Of course, the last words were a Fabian joke.

“no. I missed the time to eat because I was dealing with urgent business. We are having a late breakfast and lunch.”

“aha! So I was eating this portion alone. The mindset to eat three meals a day is great.”

“Not necessarily. This is what happened because I was hungry and ordered whatever came to my mind.”

Elio, who was watching the conversation between the two, scolded Fabian.

“Leave me to eat, Knight Fabian. What does it matter to you whether you eat two servings or three by yourself? Talking to someone who is hungry is bad.”

For a moment, Benzel, who thought he was misunderstood as a glutton, spoke as if making an excuse.

“I don’t usually eat like this.”

But neither Elio nor Fabian showed any interest in her anymore.

Benzel looked away with an embarrassed face.

Half of the remaining beer and smoked chicken and marinated salmon fried rice caught my eye.

I think I know why the baron said it was this person.

She ate again, but she couldn’t taste it because she noticed.

Elio, who was drinking black tea while waiting for food, asked Fabian.

“What did you say to the captain this morning?”

“Oh, it seems difficult to leave today. I think we need to hire new crew members.”

“Yeah, tell me to clean it up right now. I heard that there are many people who are not afraid of the sea of demons.”

“But the security guard said strange things, so they said it wasn’t easy to recruit.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Are you saying that if you work for the nobles of the Northern Kingdom, you might be accused of renegades later?”

“What do you mean? Why is a renegade here?”

“If the Northern Kingdom helps the Southern Kingdom participate in the war, that could happen. The captain rather asked me. Do you think the northern kingdom will help the southern kingdom, even later?”

“So what did you say?”

“I said I didn’t know. What do you think, Count?”

Count Larva Omar answered Fabian’s question with an ambiguous face.

“I don’t know. If the war is prolonged, the southern kingdom will eventually ask the northern kingdom to join the war. At that time, there is a high possibility that we will see Hirhera’s situation and decide whether or not to participate in the war.”

Fabian tried to say something, but kept his mouth shut.

Seeing that the Count, who knows Hirhera’s situation better than anyone else, said that, I can understand it.

Hirhera has already stabilized.

That meant that at that time the Northern Kingdom would also join the war.

The conversation ended naturally when the ordered dish was served just in time.

Benzel finished eating first, but did not get up.

After a while, she said cautiously as Elio and the others finished eating.

“I will take care of the security guard so that I don’t say anything strange. If you have any difficulties using Port Hades, please let us know.”

Fabian nodded happily.

“Thank you for saying that. But what should I do to meet you?”

“You can ask anyone to call Benzel.”

“Are you saying that whether you are a police officer or a knight?”

“That’s right.”

“i get it. If you stayed to say that, you may go.”

At Fabian’s words, Benzel got up from his seat, bowed, and left.

Fabian murmured as she disappeared.

“Don’t you think the treatment has changed since you met the lord?”

“In the process of verifying the truth of what we said that day, you must have learned what kind of existence Lord Lagoa is.”

“okay. By the way, Count.”

“Speak.”

“If the North gets involved in a war… will the Empire tolerate our activities even then?”

“Maybe they will give you full support. Because they want us to be tied up in the sea of demons.”

“Oh is that so?”

“More than anything else, aren’t we looking for sky stars for the comfort of the continent? Even the head of the empire knows what is more important. On the other hand, there is no better cause than that.”

“I hope they don’t interfere like the security forces at Hades Port.”

“I won’t. Didn’t the female knight say she would solve the security guard’s problem right away? It looks like the Empire has decided to help us with our activities, so it seems to be going well.”

Elio, who had been listening silently, spoke.

“The problem is not the empire, but the sea of demons. Contrary to rumors, nothing happened. I have no intention of clinging to the sea for ten or twenty years.”

“Viscount, if you haven’t had an income for thousands of years, you can’t stand it for ten or twenty years.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. Because I don’t want to joke about things like that. It only takes a day or two to receive financial support from the Count. Even fleas have faces, and I don’t want to do that for years.”

Count Omar of Larva said nothing.

In fact, right now, you are paying for it yourself, but there are obviously limits to support.

A few years of exploration would make him broke himself.

When Viscount Elio Lagoa looked serious, Fabian quickly apologized.

“sorry. It will work out. How long will it last if the sea of demons is calm? Sooner or later it will turn inside out like a mad horse.”

Count Omar of Larva also helped.

“Sir Lagoa, don’t worry too much. Considering that rumors have been following the Demon Sea for thousands of years, the moment you have been waiting for will surely come.”

“I hope so too.”

Elio got up and went out of the tavern.

At the mooring on the other side of the pier of the fishing boats, I saw a magical sailboat floating alone.

He trudged toward the magic sailboat as if being led.

He jumped up on the deck and stared at the distant sea.

Will it last for years, let alone decades?

How long can you live floating on the sea without any income?

Will I be able to meet my family when I go back after spending so many years like this?

He suddenly shouted, ‘Crying!’

“Shastra Parakti! Listen carefully! I’m disappointed in you! They said that this world would be ruined because of Kama Debias (Chunjama) and Ushas Undra (Golden Thread)! I thought this world was a paradise because it was a fairly high upper world! so! ‘ah! If something like Kama Devias or Ushas Undra roamed around in such a world, it would be damned!’ I said I wanted to help! But no! This world is shit like the one I was in! It’s trash everywhere! To think that I’ve been separated from my family to save this fucking world! He even kicks the blanket in his sleep! Know this! If I can’t find Kama Devias and Ushas Undra, I will destroy this world! therefore! please help me! You left your family and came all the way! Then you can help me out! Seebaal-!”

A high wave from the distant sea hit the mooring and disappeared.

***

Next day.

As soon as Elio and his party finished breakfast, they moved to the mooring.

Captain Althelm’s expression brightened as he greeted Elio and the others at the mooring.

“welcome.”

Fabian asked as if to confirm on behalf of the party.

“Have you saved all the sailors?”

“Yes, yesterday, the security guard suddenly told me to work because it’s okay to help the northern nobles. Thanks to that, there were so many applicants that we had a hard time choosing.”

“Good. How many days are you going to be at sea this time?”

“It is difficult for more than 10 days because of the storage problem of food ingredients. We need to return to the port and resupply for a day.”

“You mean sailing for ten days and taking a day off. Am I right?”

“yes.”

Fabian glanced at Viscount Elio Lagoa.

Elio nodded, and Fabian spoke to the captain.

“I will not do that. What happened to the reinforcement of the sailors who will be watching?”

“I was selected to do three shifts a day.”

“Good job. Let’s do our best not to get hurt this time.”

“Leave it to me.”

Althelm shouted loudly, and Elio and the others passed him by without saying more.

After a while, the horsepower sailboat slowly left the port.

***

The day after the magic sailboat left Hades Port.

Around noon, an airship with the imperial emblem appeared on Fiestra.

The Airship circled over Count Belanus and landed in the front yard.

Count Viator Bellanus and his retainers lined up in front of the airship.

After a while, knights with cold impressions that were too burdensome to face face to face poured out in the airship, and the number reached 30.

Taskmaster Keisa Coldwall approached Count Viator Bellanus.

“This is the head of the task force, Countess Kaysa Coldwall.”

“I am Count Viator Belanus.”

After the mutually dry introduction, Kaysa Coldwall asked directly.

“Where are the northern nobles?”

“We left yesterday morning. You should have reached the Sea of Demons by now.”

“Is there any information about them that we didn’t know about?”

Count Belanus was slightly offended at his attitude, as if he were interrogating him, but he did not show it.

The speculation that radiated from the opponent’s body was unusual.

‘Could it be the sword master?’

Seeing that he, an intermediate level sword expert, was unable to resist, it was clear that he was a sword master.

‘Looking at his name, it seems like he recently became a sword master.’

Thinking that far, he hurriedly answered after swallowing a dry saliva.

“A few days ago, the northern nobility’s ship was attacked by a pirate ship in the Sea of Ma. At that time, it is said that Count Omar blocked the shells with his Mana Blade.”

Convinced that the opponent was a sword master, his tone became humble.

“Is that all?”

“no. At that time, Viscount Lagoa ran over a hundred meters over the sea and broke the pirate ship in two.”

“You mean you ran across the sea without any equipment?”

“I heard that.”

“Okay. He said he was a magic swordsman, so he must have used magic.”

“Is there such a magic?”

“Isn’t it written because there is? Are there any other stories about Viscount Lagoa?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“Okay. From now on, the management of Port Hades will be taken over by our task force. Do you have any objections?”

“You mean to withdraw the security forces and knights?”

“exactly.”

“All right. If you need our Knights’ cooperation later, please let us know.”

“Nothing like that. I don’t know if I mobilize the army of the Principality of Lauren. Enough then.”

Count Keitha Coldwall left a meaningful message and turned around.

Soon after, the airship that had landed flew up again, and the knights of the task force also left Count Belanus.

The commander of the Knights Camilo Kusman approached Count Viator Bellanus, who was standing in the empty courtyard in front of the castle.

“Younglord. No matter how much the task force requested, it doesn’t seem like it would be a good idea to remove all of the security forces and knights from Hades Port. Shouldn’t you know at least what the task force is doing there?”

“The commander of the task force is a sword master.”

“…”

“But there was an article that called the special task force commander with a beckoning hand just before getting off the airship.”

“omg!”

“The knight commander is right. Still, you should know at least what’s going on in my estate. Isn’t it?”

“Just take it all out.”

“Withdraw all but one person you can trust.”

At the direction of the lord, the knight commander resented his cubism.
