Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1171. Children, please build up your pride.

Fabian, who came down from Top Castle, went back to being a player at ease, unlike when he came out.

“It looks like a pirate ship converted from a normal merchant ship, not a battleship.”

“Are you sure?”

Fabian confidently answered Viscount Elio Lagoa’s question.

“Yes, the hull is flat. Battleships have very high hulls because they have to mount guns on the sides of the hull.”

“Not even on deck?”

“It was confirmed through a telescope. Clean.”

“It looks like a real pirate ship. Is your liver swollen from piracy in the imperial sea?”

“It seems like they came out because the war with the South was messy.”

“But pirates in the sea of demons… isn’t it a bit strange?”

“What?”

“lets think. A pirate ship comes all the way here because someone travels in the Sea of Demons?”

At Viscount Elio Lagoa’s sharp point, Fabian said “Ah!” and exclaimed.

“It looks like they followed us. is not it?”

“It seems a bit fishy.”

“Well, you’ll know when you catch the pirates. Is it a coincidence or is there someone who is in the middle of the day. Perforation doesn’t appear, and some dung flies are attracted to it. shit.”

After grumbling, Elio sat down on the chair and stretched out his feet over the railing.

The boat rocked violently against the waves, but his body did not move.

The Octopus, a privateer ship from the Southern Adria Kingdom.

Arcos Adal, who was examining the sailboat through the telescope at the bow, muttered to himself.

“You should know by now that we’re behind…. No change in pace.”

Then the boatswain Cameron asked.

“Did they think of us as merchant ships?”

“I didn’t even raise the identification flag… would I be that stupid?”

“You might have thought it was a smuggling ship.”

“Well, if that’s the case, I’m glad… but it’s better to be certain, right? Artillery field!”

Gunnery leader Uriel, who was waiting on deck, answered his call loudly.

“yes! Captain!”

“Immediately remove the camouflage cloth and blow the main sail of the magic sailboat. Do not stop firing until the mainsail is destroyed.”

“All right. 1 bag 2 bags roll up camouflage! Prepare to fire the magic cannon!”

When the sailors removed the camouflage cloth, two magic cannons were revealed on the bow.

After a while, the gunners who had finished calculating the distance and wind speed shouted out loud.

“One battery is ready to fire!

“The two batteries are ready to fire.”

“Shoot!”

As soon as the gunnery commander gave the order, the two magic cannons spewed fire.

bang! bang!

One shot landed on the water on the left side of the sailboat, but the other hit the stern of the sailboat.

The gunners who corrected the firing angle continued to fire magic cannons.

The secondary bombardment all hit the magic sailboat.

A satisfied smile appeared on Arcos Adal’s face as he inspected the sailboat through a telescope.

The gunners’ skills were excellent, but they were lucky to hit with the second shot.

However, it was only in the fourth shelling that the main sail of the sailboat was destroyed.

When the main sail was destroyed, the horse-powered sailboat raised a white flag.

The privateer Octopus quickly approached the stationary magic sailboat.

Soon after, the crew of the Octopus hooked up to the magic sailboat and doubled it.

After a while, Arcos Adal crossed over with the pirates in a magic sailboat.

Captain Althelm greeted the pirates with a firm face.

“Excuse me, which kingdom are you from? We are neither warships nor merchant ships. Did you come to take the boat?”

Then boatswain Cameron took over as captain of the Octopus.

“We are the privateers of the Adria Kingdom. I know that Imperial nobles are on board this ship. Give them up and you will be safe.”

“Imperial nobility? They are not imperial nobles.”

Captain Althelm looked at the pirates with an absurd face.

Before setting sail, I told the helmsman and the navigator that I was going to sail with nobles, but it seems that it was misrepresented as imperial nobles.

“Aren’t you a noble of the empire? Then who are you?”

“They are the nobles of the north.”

“North?”

Cameron looked back at Captain Arcos Adal with dazed eyes.

Meanwhile, Captain Arcos Adal, who was listening to the conversation between the two, frowned.

I tried to catch an imperial nobleman and earn ransom, but he was a northern nobleman.

Of course, since it’s a pirate, it doesn’t matter if you capture a noble from any kingdom.

However, it did not look like capturing a northern noble after grandiosely saying that it was a privateer from the Adria Kingdom.

In addition, in the situation where the war broke out between the southern kingdom and the empire, capturing the northern nobility would be a burden to the Adria kingdom.

Perhaps the privateering license could have been revoked.

I don’t know how much the northern nobleman’s ransom would be, but it wouldn’t be as much as the privateer’s permit.

After thinking that far, Arcos Adal asked the captain of the magic sailboat.

“Where are the northern nobles?”

Althelm then pointed towards the player.

Arcos Adal’s gaze turned to the direction the opponent pointed.

Three men – including chairs – were sitting leisurely in the shaded area.

A magical sailboat was captured by a pirate ship, but they don’t care.

Seeing them carefree, Arcos Adal’s planting was not good.

Even if it’s a privateer ship, it’s fundamentally a pirate.

It is a privateer ship that a warring kingdom gave partial permission to plunder to pirates operating in its own country, saying, ‘Even if I rob an enemy’s ship, I will not ask for the crime.’

As a result, the difference between a pirate ship and a privateer ship was virtually insignificant.

There were also pirates who claimed to be privateers while piracy was done according to the rules of piracy.

Of course, Arcos Adal didn’t just go that far, but I was a little annoyed to see the northern nobles who were so carefree.

Even now, while the pirates are agonizing over their treatment, they act as if they are watching other people’s business!

Arcos Adal, who thought he had to extort money from them, said to the captain of the magic sailboat.

“Bring the northern nobles.”

At the words of the pirate captain, Althelm hurriedly approached the player.

“The pirates are coming.”

Then Elio said without taking his eyes off the front of the sea.

“I want someone on business to come.”

“….”

Hesitant Althelm returned to the pirates again.

“Please come directly.”

He couldn’t bear to convey the northern nobleman’s words and looked at the pirate captain’s notice.

After thinking for a moment, Arcos Adal moved to the player.

Armed pirates rushed to the bow with him.

As he approached the player, Arcos Adal’s face hardened.

‘what? I don’t feel good.’

Then, the moment I met the eyes of the elderly man, he stopped involuntarily.

It was like seeing a huge mountain, not a person.

As an Intermediate Sword Expert, he knew that the elderly man was much stronger than himself.

‘omg! Is it a sword master?’

He lowered his eyes at once.

This is because the Octopus could be cut in two by the sword master’s sword.

If the distance between the Magic Sailboat and the Octopus is considerable, it can be smashed with the Magic Cannon.

However, if it is doubled as it is now, it is an unconditional victory for the Sword Master.

As he lowered his tail, Count Larva Omar opened his mouth.

“It’s pretty good to be a sword expert on the topic of pirates. Who are you?”

“I am Viscount Arcos Adal of the Adria Kingdom.”

“Do pirates get titles there?”

“no. It’s a family that fell a long time ago… but when the war broke out with the empire, the king gave permission for privateering and restored the extinct title.”

“There was such a story. I am Count Larva Omar of the Kingdom of Baylem. I am exploring the sea of demons with the lord of the north that I serve. But the viscount’s privateer came after our ship.”

“Forgive me. If I had known that the ship was occupied by northern nobles, I would not have attacked it. It happened because the imperial nobility rode it. We will replace the main sail immediately.”

Masts often break during voyages, so most ships used to carry timber and repair it themselves.

In particular, pirates are good at repairing ships as they fight frequently. That is why he offered to replace the destroyed mainsail.

“How long will it take to replace?”

“I will replace it before sunset today.”

“It doesn’t have to be that fast. It should be replaced by tomorrow evening.”

“Are you talking about tomorrow evening?”

“Yes, until tomorrow evening. Can you be punctual?”

“I can do it for you by tonight…”

“You’re a brainless friend. I want you to do it by tomorrow evening.”

“Ah yes. I will replace it by tomorrow evening.”

Arcos Adal was puzzled, but couldn’t refuse the Sword Master’s instructions.

The pirates made a tighter bond between the Octopus and the Sailboat, while replacing the main sail of the Sailboat destroyed by their bombardment.

***

That night.

Privateer ship Octopus.

While everyone was asleep, Walter, the helmsman of the Octopus, asked Arcos Adal sneakily.

“Captain, are you just going to send the northern nobles like this?”

“what are you talking about?”

“Didn’t we lose a lot because of the northern nobles?”

“Are you talking about repairing the main sail?”

“It’s time and the damage is huge in terms of materials.”

“I didn’t know that the northern nobles were on that ship and broke it, so I have to fix it.”

“Those northern nobles are the problem. The Count is really quiet, but the people next to him are scratching at the inside.”

“I just have to wait until tomorrow.”

“The kids said something about staring at the sky all day like crazy people, but got beaten up. Isn’t it too much for a northern noble? Words are coming out that you can’t just leave the northern nobles alone.”

“What if I don’t just let it go? There’s a sword master over there. Are you saying we should fight?”

“Aren’t we going to break up after the repairs are done? When the distance is a bit far, can’t we finish it off with artillery fire? Isn’t it the same as a sword master dying when a ship sinks?”

“Tsk tsk! Kill the northern nobles and hear what later? Don’t you know that the southern kingdoms are trying to rekindle their alliance with the northern kingdoms? If rumors spread that we killed the northern nobles, the privateer license will be blown.”

“What’s the big deal about sinking a ship in the sea of demons? If the ship sinks and everyone dies, no one will know. Let’s build our children’s self-esteem. An hour of shelling will break it in two.”

Arcos Adal looked at Walter with ambiguous eyes.

In fact, as long as the distance is secured, shelling is not a problem.

Because no matter how good a sword master you are, you can’t fly 100 meters.

But let’s sink the sword master’s ship just by getting hit by a few pirates?

I honestly don’t know if that’s the case.

“Can’t we just wait a day?”

“There may be rumors going around from the mouths of the disgruntled that ‘we not only fixed the boats of northern nobles, but also beat them up.’”

At those words, Arcos Adal’s expression distorted.

If such a thing became known, it was certain that he would be treated as a petticoat in the pirate society.

It was fatal for the pirates who wanted to be known by a fearful name.

“I’ll take care of it, so shut up and focus on replacing the main sail. Then go quietly and call the gunnery commander without anyone noticing.”

“yes.”

Walter’s steps were light as he went to call the gunnery chief.

Seeing him secretly looking for gunnery ranges at this late hour, it was clear that his words had worked.

‘All the bastards are dead.’

It doesn’t matter if it’s a northern noble or a sword master.

Anyone who touches a pirate at sea will let you know that you are fucked.
