Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Chapter 1193

Episode 1193. I’m loyal to the viscount, not to the royal family.

Northern nobles think of themselves as cursing Prince Knauf, but they know one thing and don’t know the other.

Archduke Knauf prefers people with ability.

That’s why even though she’s a female knight, she carries out the duties of an investigator.

If he had only reported information that suited Archduke Knauf’s taste, he wouldn’t be here.

What Archduke Knauf wants from the investigator is the truth itself.

It is entirely up to Archduke Knauf to make any judgment based on that.

For example, the wound on Viscount Helio Lagoa’s back can be attributed to ‘Spera Oblio (Manatan)’ or it can be attributed to sniping.

The more he tells the truth, the more options Archduke Knauf has.

So the northern nobles’ remarks about themselves

were... “Narrow prejudice against the inspectors!”

Baron Katia Mikel widened her eyes as if the northern nobles were in front of her.

Her spirits subsided, and when her emotions subsided, she returned to the tavern.

The next day, Baron Katia Michel left Fiestra after meeting the Knights of Boris and Benzel.

After the windstorm of ‘the duel between Marquis Gosling Knauf and the northern nobility’ and ‘the investigation of the Knauf Grand Duchess’ swept away, Fiesta went back to his daily routine.

Port of Hades.

sea breeze tavern.

Around sunset, a visitor came to Elio and his party enjoying beer on the first floor.

It was Althelm, the captain of the magic sailboat.

“I have something to tell you.”

“Something?”

Fabian looked back at him with a reddened face.

Judging from the fact that he came the evening before the voyage, it seems to be quite urgent.

“A few more problems were found during the repairs.... I think we will have to delay the voyage for a few days.”

“problem?”

At the word that the voyage should be delayed, even Elio and Count Omar of Larva paid attention to Captain Althelm.

‘I missed my destination right in front of my eyes, but is it postponed?’ It looks like he’s asking.

“A crack was found in the lower part of the auxiliary mast on the bow side. The bow of the main mast (a long wooden pole hung horizontally) was also slightly damaged. They all need to be replaced... they say it will take two days at the earliest.”

“Oops! If that’s the case, you’ll need to fix it. Could it be two days?”

“Yes, there are many technicians who have been idle lately because they have no work. However, I would like to ask you to tell me that the owner of the ship would like to pay at least a part of the repair cost. It happened while the northern nobility were looking for abnormal weather, and it seems that similar things will continue to happen in the future...”

When the topic of money came out, Fabian looked back at Count Larva Omar.

“The Count’s shipowner wants repair money?”

Count Larva Omar asked Captain Althelm.

“Usually, what do you do if there is a problem with the ship?”

“If it’s a normal voyage, the ship owner will do the repairs on his own... but since the ministers are only looking for abnormal weather even in the sea of the horse... There is truth in the ship owner’s words.”

“i get it. Then let’s pay half of it. Will that be enough?”

“Yes, that is enough.”

The face of Captain Althelm, who was sandwiched between the ship owner and the northern nobles, brightened.

After a while, Captain Althelm returned.

Perhaps the shock of the sudden postponement of the voyage was great, and Elio and his party were silent for a while.

After a while, Fabian opened his mouth.

“It looks like I’ll be taking two more days off without a plan. What are you going to do now, Viscount?”

“me? I want to go to the Demon Sea by myself.”

“You want another boat? Two days round trip? The repairs will be finished first.”

“Shall we ask the Empire for a title so that the northern part doesn’t do anything stupid? If I get a title in the Empire, won’t the northern kingdoms think of something else? What do you think, Count?”

“That is a very good idea. How about sending a letter to Count Cardinal Paganus of the nearby Duchy of Aragon?”

Count Larva Omar, who did not want to escalate the battle, actively stepped forward.

Count Paganus was a great nobleman who was kind enough to even give Viscount Elio Lagoa the ‘Mark of Invincibility’, so he was sure to like it.

“It’s fine. The Count should take care of that matter. Since you defeated Marquis Knauf, the Empire will give you a title worthy of him, right?”

“Even considering the resistance of the great nobles of the empire, I will give you the title of count.”

Fabian, who had been listening with a sullen face, hurriedly interrupted, wondering what he was thinking.

“If possible, ask for the territory. Somewhere not far from Fiestra.”

“why? Do you like the eastern part of the Empire?”

“Anywhere would be a hundred times better than Slash Land.”

“What do you mean by a knight who swore allegiance to the Escatos royal family?”

“Viscount, I am loyal to you, not to the royal family. I am sorry to hear you say that.”

“aha! So, if I get a territory from the Empire... I will inherit that territory later, right?”

“If that is my legitimate right, I should accept it. Is there anyone else around the Viscount who would pass it on?”

“Wow! Look at this quick stance shift. You acted as if you were going to run to the battlefield for the sake of the Escatos Kingdom a little while ago... but you’re looking at the territory of the empire right away, right?”

“I am the Viscount’s knight. If the Viscount goes to the kingdom, he goes to the kingdom, and if he goes to the empire, he goes to the empire.”

“I want to see who your parents are.”

“Even the Viscount is not swearing at his family.”

“I wasn’t cursing. I’m really curious Don’t you want to see my family?”

“I miss you.”

“It’s the same. I did it out of pure curiosity. don’t feel bad I am not an immoral person who curses at other people’s families.”

Elio said without thinking, then sweated profusely.

When Viscount Elio Lagoa desperately made an excuse, Fabian did not stumble any further.

The story with the theme of the Grand Duchess of Knauf went to the war between the kingdom and the empire, and ended with a family curse or not.

***

Next day.

As soon as Elio finished breakfast, he moved to a dark place and performed fortune telling.

The green island that I missed before my eyes was shimmering, so I couldn’t just stay there.

Elio flew up on a white cloud and moved eastward.

I thought it wouldn’t be difficult because I had been traveling on a magic sailboat for over a month, but the reality was very different from what I thought.

He flew in search of the sea area of the sea and arrived at Rhodes Island in half a day.

This happened because fortune-telling was dozens of times faster than a magic sailboat.

Elio returned to the sea he passed by for about two hours.

An exclamation flowed from Elio’s mouth as he flew as slowly as possible and looked under the clouds.

“It’s a meat boat!”

Those were obviously boats fishing near the Sea of Ma.

Elio slowed the cloud even further.

A little more like that, the sea, which is thought to be the sea area of Gajama, spreads out.

He passed his time by going back and forth over the empty sea with fortune telling.

But within an hour, a problem arose.

The skin that was exposed outside the clothes was burnt black from the blazing sun.

‘This won’t work.’

I didn’t know that an insignificant awning could be so important.

I tried going into the clouds, but the problem was that I couldn’t see the sea in that case.

After racking his brains, Elio went back to Hades Port to avoid the sun after a day.
