Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1185. There’s nothing wrong with being prepared.

Noon that day.

With Viscount Helio Lagoa as his great warrior, Benzel challenged the sword master, Marquis Gosling Knauf to a duel.

Of course, Fiestra was upset.

Count Viator Bellanus, lord of Fiestra, hastily summoned the knight commander.

Countess Bellanus.

Introspective central hall.

As the knight commander entered the central hall, Count Viator Bellanus jumped up from his seat.

“Viscount Camilo. Is Benzel challenging Marquis Knauf to a duel? What is this all of a sudden? Besides, the northern nobles are great warriors? Is the whole story true? Did that really happen?”

Viscount Camilo Kussman lowered his head as if he was embarrassed.

“It is true. The arena has been delivered to His Excellency through the Special Forces. Before coming to the lord, I confirmed it through Viscount Colin Mescal, a staff member of the task force.”

In an instant, Count Viator Bellanus collapsed into his chair.

“iced coffee! What can I do? Applying for a duel with the Grand Duke of Knauf… And that’s because the Great Warrior was brought up as a Northern nobleman…”

Now that the Empire’s attention is focused on whether or not the Northern and Southern nations will restore their alliance, the Northern nobleman and the Knauf Grand Duke’s family The duel was a formidable event.

The Grand Duchess of Knauf is the largest and most powerful pillar that supports the Empire.

If the Marquis Knauf wins, it will pass quietly, but what if it loses by chance?

It is clear that the movement to normalize the alliance between the Northern Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom will also accelerate.

It was a catastrophe for the Empire.

Count Viator Belanus, thinking that far, spoke in an urgent tone.

“Gyeong meet Benzel himself and cancel the duel.”

“I want to, but Benzel won’t listen to me anymore. If I had, I wouldn’t have come to this point.”

“Grunt!”

A painful sound came from the mouth of Count Viator Bellanus.

He also had nothing more to say because he knew that the relationship between the knight commander and Benzel had completely changed due to the Marquis Knauf.

“So, what is the Marquis Knauf’s response?”

“We haven’t confirmed that yet.”

“How was the atmosphere of the task force?”

“Of course I thought I would be against it… but that was a little strange.”

“Strange?”

“The staff member, Viscount Mezcal, clearly expressed his disapproval, but the captain, Earl Coldwall, seemed to agree.”

“This is because the special forces are half and half.”

“It is what it appears to be.”

“What do you think Marquis Knauf himself thought?”

“The staff said they didn’t even know.”

“I don’t know?”

“There has been a lot of talk about leaving the gallows in the port.”

“The gallows were not taken down after Gibson Cannon’s execution?”

Count Viator Bellanus looked at the knight commander with bewildered eyes.

The gallows used to be demolished immediately after the execution of the sentence, as it aroused fear in the citizens.

By the way, it’s been four days since Gibson Cannon and the gallows haven’t been dismantled?

Considering that northern nobles were coming and going in and out of the port, it was unusual.

“The staff kept suggesting demolition… but the Marquis of Knauf blocked it.”

“The Marquis of Knauf? Did you leave it there to put pressure on Benzel?”

“There is such a thing, but the staff said it seemed to be conscious of the northern nobility.”

“If you were conscious of the northern nobility, you should have demolished it rather quickly.”

“I thought so too, but my staff told me. When such a story came out within the task force, Marquis Knauf became angry and stopped demolishing it. They said that it seemed that such words came out from within the task force rather than hurt the pride of the Marquis Knauf.”

“Huh! It’s okay if things go wrong.”

“Yes, it seems that several circumstances have worked in a complicated way.”

“Anyway, did you find out the relationship between Viscount Lagoa and Benzel? Seeing as a great warrior, it doesn’t seem like a normal relationship. Could it be that Viscount Lagoa and Benzel were dating?”

“It is not. The two met by chance on the beach, and after hearing Benzel’s story, he said he was happy to become a warrior.”

“Viscount Lagoa is also insane.”

“Maybe it’s for fame. For the knights of the continent, the Grand Duchess of Knauf is a legend. I would have thought it was a good opportunity.”

“If you lose to Marquis Knauf, your reputation in the north will be gone, right?”

“It doesn’t just happen when you lose. There is nothing shameful about losing to the Grand Duke of Knauf.”

The knight commander drove Viscount Elio Lagoa to that direction.

Otherwise, there is no reason to become a champion of Benzel.

“Hmm! Hearing that, it seems like that. The date and place of the duel?”

“Tomorrow at noon in front of the gallows.”

“Should I inform His Highness?”

“It’s related to the Knauf Grand Duchess, so that’s what you should do.”

The Duke of Lorraine, Bercht Wulfs, is a close friend of Archduke Kaiser Knauf.

If I didn’t tell anyone else, or about my close friend’s younger brother, something big would happen.

Count Viator Belanus, who nodded, suddenly asked.

“Sir, do you think that the Marquis of Knauf will accept a duel?”

“Looking at you stopping the gallows from being demolished… I think that’s why.”

“I should inform His Highness right away. Got it. Increase the number of people at the territory checkpoint and control unauthorized outsiders from entering the port.”

“yes.”

Viscount Camilo Kuzman nodded silently and then turned around and left.

***

Port of Hades.

Sea Breeze Tavern Room.

As the sun was setting, Marquis Gosling Knauf called Countess Kaysa Coldwall to her quarters.

“Did you find the Marquis?”

“Did you find out?”

“Yes, Viscount Lagoa and Benzel have never met before.”

“So, are you really saying that we met by chance on a walk this morning and decided to become a great warrior right there? You want me to believe that?”

“It’s hard to believe, but it’s true.”

“No, it can’t be. The task force must be missing something. Is this possible without prior communication?”

“There is an evaluation that Viscount Lagoa is erratic because he is from a barbarian.”

“Anyway, it is. Are you thinking of fighting against the Grand Duchess of Knauf? Do you think that is possible?”

“Of course it’s impossible, but you have to believe it happened right in front of your eyes.”

“The two of them must have had a relationship without anyone knowing. With Viscount Lagoa’s ability, it’s not difficult to avoid people’s eyes.”

The horny Marquis Gosling Knauf did not give in to his will.

His chronic illness, which sees everything as a relationship between a man and a woman, has been cured.

“It may have been.”

Count Keitha Coldwall did not object.

It’s a somewhat far-fetched claim, but it’s not at all wrong.

No, on second thought, it was more persuasive than ‘Viscount Lagoa became a champion of Benzel out of sympathy’.

“You’ve become nasty.”

Marquis Gosling Knauf’s face contorted.

He thought Viscount Elio Lagoa and Benzel had tricked him.

If Benzel had confessed from the beginning that he had a deep relationship with Viscount Elio Lagoa, he would not have come to this point.

When he thought that he had been tricked by a woman and hanged an innocent knight and port manager, a fire flared up inside him.

“A lot of people are curious about the duel. What do you plan to do?”

“What should I do? Wouldn’t the world laugh at you if you avoided the fight that came from the knights of the Grand Duke of Knauf?”

“Since Viscount Lagoa is a noble from the north, no one will say anything if he refuses. If you look at it from time to time, it might be better to avoid it.”

“omg! Are you serious?”

“yes.”

said Marquis Gosling Knauf, staring into Countess Keitha Coldwall’s face.

“It’s surprising to hear such an answer come out of your mouth. I knew you wanted me and Viscount Lagoa to fight.”

“I am also a knight of the Empire.”

“Does that mean you think I will lose to Viscount Lagoa?”

“Sir Lagoa ran about 100 meters on the sea, cut the pirate ship in two with a single sword, and returned.”

“There are many heroic stories like that in the Grand Duchess of Knauf. But I know the truth.”

“What if it’s not an exaggerated heroic tale?”

“It could have been made to fit in our ears. I would have done that too If that method works, you can win without fighting.”

Marquis Gosling Knauf did not take the rumors at face value.

Human beings have no choice but to recognize within the scope of their experience.

In particular, he denied what he had not experienced because he believed that ‘only the Grand Duke of Knauf could reach the peak of swordsmanship’.

“If that’s what His Excellency the Marquis thinks, then I won’t object. However, Viscount Lagoa’s level of magic may be superior to rumors, so I hope you are prepared for that.”

Count Keitha Coldwall thought that running across the sea was magic.

So, I hoped that the Marquis of Knauf would cope well with magic.

“Whoops. Did you think I would fight the magic swordsman without any countermeasures?”

“Ah, did you prepare anything else?”

“Do you know the mana force field device?”

“Yes, I know you are in the imperial palace.”

A large-scale mana force field device was hidden in the imperial palace in preparation for an ambush by magicians.

The mana force field device intervened in the flow of mana and made it impossible to use magic.

“The magicians of the Grand Duke of Knauf succeeded in miniaturizing it. If you bury it near the gallows, you won’t be able to use magic.”

“iced coffee!”

Count Keitha Coldwall sincerely admired the Marquis of Knauf.

It is not an ordinary person to say that he has not expressed his feelings even after preparing that much.

‘I thought he was a horny man who was only good at swordsmanship, but he has a deep heart.’

Marquis Gosling Knauf added words like an excuse.

“As for me, I want to fight a magic swordsman fairly, but it’s a little different if the opponent is a northern knight. Wouldn’t it be too selfish to find the romance of knights in this situation?”

“This is a wise statement. Never let anything happen that gives the northern kingdoms the wrong signal.”

“I think so too. I’ve never thought of losing to Viscount Lagoa, but I’m prepared so there’s nothing wrong with it. Are the Viscount Lagoa’s party still staying here?”

“yes.”

“Tonight, I want to eat alone with Viscount Lagoa.”

“I will empty the sea breeze tavern.”

“I’ll take Count Omar and Baron Cloud out separately and treat them.”

“All right.”

Time was running out, so Count Keitha Coldwall immediately got up and went outside.

After a while, the task force in the Sea Breeze Tavern left the Tavern as if the tide was sinking.

Count Omar of Larva and Baron Fabian Cloud also moved to another restaurant along with Count Keitha Coldwall.

At Sea Breeze Tavern, only the cook, the waitress, Sally, the Marquis Gosling Knauf, and the Viscount Elio Lagoa were left.

Marquis Gosling Knauf sent the cook and saleswoman Sally outside as soon as the food was ready.

The sea breeze tavern, which was crowded with people, quickly became as quiet as a graveyard.

Marquis Gosling Knauf, who had been staring at the dark harbor for a while, turned her eyes to Viscount Elio Lagoa.

“Today, during the day, I received a dueling ring from Miss Benzel. By the way, your name was written on the seat of Daejeonsa Temple. There’s no way there’s another person with the same name in Fiestra, why?”
