Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1195. The Poisoned Grail bestowed by the Crown Prince

is the Duchy of Knauf in the central part of the Empire.

Knauf Castle.

Investigator Baron Katia Mikel continued his report in front of Archduke Kaiser Knauf and Knight Commander Count Damon Isaac.

“…Bezel asked Viscount Lagoa, ‘Why are you doing a great battle?’ I think I’ve been asked. At that time, Viscount Lagoa replied, ‘Because he is a practitioner of swordsmanship’. From the context, it seemed to mean ‘chivalry’.”

“chivalry?”

Archduke Kaiser Knauf asked with an absurd face.

It was just for that reason that he couldn’t believe that he had drawn his sword against the Grand Duchess of Knauf.

“Yes, because I couldn’t find any other reason than to ‘help the weak against injustice’.”

“In today’s world, chivalry. To become a warrior with something that is not even used as a subject for jokes. Did the Archduke of Knauf look down on you? Or is it the conceit of a northern knight? What do you think, investigator?”

“I do not know. But one thing is certain: the northern nobles were not afraid of the Grand Duke of Knauf.”

“If I had been afraid, I would not have become a warrior. There would have been no cutting of Gosling’s penis. Good work. You can stop going back.”

“yes.”

Baron Katia Mikel bowed and quietly withdrew.

Archduke Kaiser Knauf smiled at Count Damon Isaac.

“Which one do you think is the truth? While sniping with Spera Oblio (Manatan).”

“I want to believe it was a sniper.”

“You want to believe? Are you denying the possibility of Spera Oblio?”

“As someone who watched the Grand Duke’s Sphera Oblio up close, I’m sorry, but I can only say that.”

“Tsk! Even Marquis Gosling should have had someone like Sir by his side. The person who claimed the Sphera Oblio was Countess Keitha Coldwall, right? The intent to kill soars to the point where I want to kill him.”

“Be patient. Count Keisa Coldwall is the Crown Prince’s henchman.”

“Yes, I believed that and threw feces into the duel of the Grand Duchess of Knauf. A sniping at the duel of the Grand Duke of Knauf… It will serve as a snack for the great nobles for about ten years, right?”

“Not ten years, but at least one generation (30 years).”

“Yes, to turn the Grand Duchess of Knauf into a snack in an instant is a formidable ability. Did the Countess Coldwall have a grudge against the Grand Duchess of Knauf?”

“Earl Keisa’s father lost his right arm in a duel with Archduke Hannes Knauf, so if that’s grudge, then it must be grudge.”

“I didn’t know. Only one or two knights were defeated by my father.”

“For the same reason, if half of the great nobles of the empire are the Grand Duchess of Knauf, wouldn’t they tremble?”

“Anyway, Count Keisa got a good shot. If I ask them why they did that, they’ll say it was for the sake of the Knauf family’s face and the safety of the empire, right?”

“Anyone would say that.”

“You got it right. To wash away this disgrace, I must deal with the northern nobles with my own hands?”

“That’s what Count Keisa wants.”

“What about the safety of the empire? If I lose too, the northern kingdoms will wake up like bees?”

“Isn’t the prince originally immature? He boasts to the great nobles he meets recently that he must restore the glory of the empire.”

“Imperial glory? Are you trying to steal the land of the kingdom?”

“The crown prince said that the continent must be unified in order to eliminate war.”

“It turned. He said he wouldn’t be at the forefront of that war anyway.”

“That money person is Hwang Tae-ja. When His Majesty passes away, you will become the next Emperor, so please pay attention to your expressions.”

“What does the crown prince really want? Is it the death of the northern nobles in Fiestra? Or is it the defeat of the Grand Duchess of Knauf?”

“Either way, the crown prince won’t suffer any loss.”

“In a sense, he is a great person. The prince.”

“Aren’t you called a genius?”

“The sniping was to throw me into the mess that the prince staged, right?

“Perhaps.”

“Kyung, do you think I should drink the ‘poisoned chalice bestowed by the crown prince’?”

“You’re not going to drink, are you?”

“Why do you think that would be?”

“Because the Knauf family has so much to lose compared to what they gain.”

“There is a bigger reason than that.”

“What is it?”

“I don’t want to be a piece on the chessboard played by the crown prince. That is why I am asking this question.”

“The crown prince could make up all sorts of words to put pressure on him.”

“Do it. If you’re wrong, I’ll fight you and suffocate you.”

“Then you can pretend to be the prince.”

“So, the only thing I regret is the prince, not me. There is no one other than me who can deal with the kingdom’s sword masters.”

Even Earl Damon Isaac did not dispute that.

It was also true that Archduke Knauf needed help as much as the prince wanted war.

Duchy of Lorraine.

Fiesta.

sea area of the horse.

It was the eighth day after the magical sailboat sailed through the sea of demons.

It’s hard to go back and forth on the calm sea without doing anything, but the sailors didn’t show it.

This is because they know what kind of people the northern nobles who hired them are.

Captain Althelm, who was holding the rudder, asked Delos.

“How many days has it been since you sailed?”

“It’s been eight days. It’s been seven days since I entered the Sea of Demons.”

“Time flies. It’s already returning tomorrow.”

“Are you fast, Captain? Sailors are bored to death.”

“Does that sound even after a storm? It looks like your stomach is full.”

“Storm storm came out, Captain?”

“why?”

“Are you going to continue to come to the sea with the northern nobles?”

“What if it doesn’t come out?”

“Money is good, but don’t you think it’s too risky? To be honest, I was lucky the last time too, and the boat didn’t go over, wasn’t it a situation where it would have been enough to capsize?”

“It was dangerous.”

“I’m lucky once or twice, isn’t there a guarantee that it won’t be overturned next time?”

“No.”

“But will you continue to travel to the sea of demons?”

“Thanks to the northern nobility, you are always bringing money to your wife.”

“Money is good, but what if the boat capsizes?”

“Does it add anything but death?”

“Are you okay though?”

“Delos.”

Captain Althelm’s timid voice suddenly subsided.

Delos shrugged his shoulders involuntarily.

“yes?”

“Do you think your wife will stay at home if you don’t bring her money?”

“Are you going to leave?”

“Yeah, that’s it. You’ve seen how many technicians have come to repair the sails this time. Everyone is desperate to make a living. If we are not northern nobles, we will have to look for work like them. After such a long time, my wife will leave the house. Do you want that to happen?”

“It’s not like that, but it’s too dangerous…”

“It’s dangerous, what? Looking for another guest? If there were, I wouldn’t even come out here with the northern nobles. Which is more frightening, my wife leaving the house or the sea of demons?”

“My wife is leaving the house.”

“Queuck! Does anyone know that say something like that?”

“Iknow, right. Why did I say that?”

As Delos scratched the back of his head with a puzzled face, the captain said a word.

“If you think of miscellaneous things, at least go fishing from the boat. Side dishes are running out, so try fishing something.”

“Because the northern nobility noticed.”

“If you sneakily ask if it’s okay to get some side dishes for dinner, they will allow it. It’s because they don’t seem to be nobles who are so tightly blocked that they can’t even do that.”

“Yes, I have to pay for it, so I’ll ask.”

As Dilos exited the wheelhouse, Captain Althelm let out a long sigh.

It was the same that he was afraid of being in the sea of demons due to the last storm.

As Captain Althelm said, northern nobles did not oppose fishing.

Delos and some other sailors moved to the boat with fishing rods.

Looking at the sea dyed by the setting sun, Fabian muttered to himself.

“This voyage is also in vain. It’s no wonder that people think the sea of demons is superstitious.”

“that’s right. It doesn’t happen often.”

Elio shook his head as if he agreed.

“Still, it’s nice to hear that I don’t feel like catching floating clouds like before. How about a couple of fights before dark, Count Omar?”

At Fabian’s words, Count Larva Omar nodded happily.

In the case of knights, if they do not use their bodies, their swordsmanship skills may deteriorate.

Count Larva Omar and Fabian faced each other in the center of the deck.

Then Fabian raised his longsword and charged at Count Larva Omar.

Sparks flew between the two with the sound of metal clashing.

Cha Cha Cha Cha Chang-!

Their swordsmanship was sharp enough to make the hands of onlookers sweaty.

After a heated skirmish, Fabian hurriedly widened his distance.

His longsword shone as if he had raised his mana.

Then, the shape of a translucent blue dragon flickered in the air.

It opened the dragon fly.

Earl Larva Omar, who was watching the blue dragon with interest, swung his longsword.

Parts-suits-.

The blue dragon wrapped around a longsword and waited for a while before disappearing.

Fabian shook his shoulders as if he had squeezed out his energy and gasped for breath.

“omg! omg! I can’t do any more.”

Count Larva Omar, who was looking at Fabian with meaningful eyes, spoke.

“Your dragon fly… is different from any other sword beginner. Do you know?”

“Is it different?”

Fabian asked with puzzled eyes.

This is because he has never mixed swords with other knights since becoming a sword beginner.

“The power of the dragon fly surpasses the mana force of a sword beginner. However, it does not reach the mana aura of sword experts. It just means that it is qualitatively different from Mana Force. It’s somewhere between mana force and mana aura. I can assure you that no one among the sword beginners can match your dragon fly.”

“Are you saying that I am the strongest among sword beginners?”

A lot of strength went into Fabian’s shoulders.

“I don’t mean that. There must be many people who are better than you in swordsmanship. But even they won’t be able to break your dragon fly. What about your dragon fly? It seemed to contain a supernatural will. I can’t understand it, but it’s like the real dragon’s will.”

Elio spoke as Fabian tilted his head, unable to understand the Count’s words.

“The Count has an excellent eye. It is called the will of swordsmanship. The founder incorporated the dragon’s movements into his swordsmanship, and Fabian seems to have mastered not only the appearance but also the heart. It looks like catching a mouse on the back of a cow.”

At that moment, an exclamation flowed from the mouth of Count Larva Omar.

“ah! The will beyond the form of swordsmanship… I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes.”

Count Omar of Larva looked at Baron Fabian Cloud with envious eyes.

From the small heavenly circuit (小周天) to the dragon fly’s swordsmanship!

He didn’t even know that the knight who would succeed Viscount Elio Lagoa and become the true Grand Master was Baron Fabian Cloud.

Although he had been practicing swordsmanship all his life, his ‘will of swordsmanship’ was unknown.

“Lord Lagoa, do all the swordsmanships in the world have the will of swordsmanship?”

“well. It seems like a matter that depends on the realm of the founder of swordsmanship. If anyone could easily put their will into swordsmanship, the Count wouldn’t be surprised.”

“I asked a stupid question.”

Count Larva Omar’s face flushed red.

There are also grades in the swordsmanship of the kingdom.

However, even the swordsmanship that was said to be of the highest class was different from that of the dragon fly.

But to ask, ‘Does all swordsmanship have the will of swordsmanship?’

I was surprised by the word ‘will of swordsmanship’ and asked a stupid question.
