Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1192. Apples don’t fall far from the tree.

Shelly, who informed them that ‘an inspector from the Grand Duke of Knauf has arrived’ opened the door to the Sea Breeze Tavern and naturally changed the subject.

“Are you tired of seafood? Fortunately, for dinner tonight, roast lamb is the main menu. You’ll love it because it’s grilled with our special sauce.”

Conscious of the inspector, she went back after talking nonstop about the dinner menu.

It was dinner time just in time, so Elio and the others didn’t go up to the lodging and found an empty seat.

Elio looked with regret at the window seat with a good view.

For this moment, he missed the task force – who reigned in Hades Harbor with fear.

Because they always used to leave that seat empty when they entered the port.

The person who took the window seat was a woman in her thirties with an intelligent appearance.

The woman whose eyes met just in time, nodded slightly as if to say hello.

Unexpectedly, Elio also lightly ignored it.

Seeing that, Fabian glanced at a seat by the window and asked.

“Do you know someone?”

“I don’t know. I accepted it because I wanted to say hello.”

“You look like a knight just by looking at your clothes, right? It’s the first time I’ve seen this place… I can feel it.”

At that, Elio looked at the woman once more.

Looking at the longsword worn around his waist, I think that he might really be an investigator for the Grand Duke of Knauf.

After a while, Sally came to cook.

Elio, who was serving the meat on a plate in front of him, said a word.

“They said it was a whole lamb, where did the sheep go?”

“Kuuuu! Did you know that a sheep is served on the table?”

“Oh, I thought you were giving me a whole sheep.”

“Your appetite is enormous. Even if you give me one sheep, I will not eat it.”

“Who said you ate them all? I tried it just in case by emphasizing the whole roasting of sheep.”

Elio dipped the lamb with a fork and put it in his mouth.

For what Celie boasted about as a special dish, it tasted so-so.

Elio and the others ate silently, probably because of the hardships they suffered in the Sea of Demons.

After a while, as the three of them finished eating, a woman at the window approached.

“hello? I am Baron Katia Michel of the Grand Duchess of Knauf. You seem to be curious about who I am, so I came to say hello.”

Then Fabian got up from his seat and introduced the party.

“This is Count Larva Omar, that is Viscount Elio Lagoa and I am Baron Fabian Cloud.”

After Fabian’s introduction, Baron Katia Michel made a polite request.

“If it’s not rude, can I sit together for a while?”

Fabian reflexively looked back at Viscount Elio Lagoa.

will ask what to do

Elio willingly nodded and agreed to join the table.

It was because he was also curious about the reaction of the Grand Duke of Knauf.

Then Count Larva Omar moved to the side of Viscount Elio Lagoa.

It was because I couldn’t sit the inspector and Viscount Elio Lagoa side by side.

Naturally, Baron Katia Mikel sat next to Fabian.

There was an awkward silence for a while.

Elio was the first to speak.

“Are you here alone?”

“no. The party is meeting with the port officials.”

Elio immediately stopped paying attention.

Baron Katia Mikel’s manner of speaking was polite, but it was stiff and did not show humanity.

As he picked up the teacup, the quick-witted Fabian stepped out.

“What is Baron Michel’s official title? For example, I am Viscount Lagoa’s attendant.”

“As you may have guessed, I am in charge of the work of an investigator for the Grand Duke of Knauf.”

“Can we assume that you have come because of His Excellency, Marquis Gosling Knauf?”

“Yes, it is. By the way, I have already met with the officials of the task force.”

“What did they say?”

At Fabian’s question, Baron Katia Mikel only smiled and did not answer.

Elio clicked his tongue at Fabian’s nonsense.

“Tsk tsk! Would the Archduke Knauf family’s inspector tell you something like that? Get in the habit of going through your head a little before speaking.”

“It was just a casual comment. I don’t necessarily want to hear the answer. Since they are people from the intelligence department, they must have adapted it to their advantage. They are people who call themselves Manatan even after they snipe during a duel.”

For an instant, Baron Katia Michel’s eyes twinkled.

The task force said, ‘The Marquis used Manatan’s technique, but the ignorant northern nobles mistook it for a sniper and protested.’

“Do you have any reason to be sure it was a sniper?”

“Our Viscount was pushing His Excellency the Marquis, and suddenly almost fell forward. Just before that, I heard the sound of a magic gun shooting in the distance. Even now, there is a scar in the middle of the viscount’s back, as if it had been burned. Do you know what the Special Forces Commander said then? His Excellency the Marquis’ mana bullet pierced his chest and went out on his back. Viscount, show me your intact breasts.”

“Ah, why do you do that so lamely…”

While babbling, Elio opened his collar coolly.

“Look. No signs of penetration? Someone shot a magic gun from behind. As the viscount said, please show me the back that almost got a hole in it.”

“Oh really! I have something to look at…”

Elio, who took off his top, gave his back to Baron Katia Michel.

Fabian proudly tore off the gauze attached to Viscount Elio Lagoa’s back, revealing a wound the size of an adult’s fist.

Red blood oozes out from the hole in the middle – dug to the depth of a finger.

“Did you see? If it was an ordinary knight, a hole the size of a fist would have pierced his real chest. If that was the case, the lie of the task force would have worked, right? ah! It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.”

Fabian, who was trembling, put gauze on, and Elio put on his clothes again.

Baron Katia Michel was confused in her head, but she didn’t show it.

“We don’t fully know mana yet. The technique of ‘Esoteropy (internal destruction)’ used by martial arts masters causes mana to break inside and explode backwards. Like the scars you see now.”

Then, this time, Count Larva Omar smiled and said,

“I clearly witnessed the Marquis’ Spera Oblio (Manatan). Do you see me as someone who cannot tell the difference between Sphera Oblio and Esoteropy?”

“That is not what I meant. I just meant that ‘the effects of mana bullets can appear slightly differently for each sword master’.”

“So it’s not the sniping, but the effect of mana bullets?”

“I am just thinking about the possibilities. It is the Grand Duke who makes the judgment.”

“Whoops. It must be a little awkward since the face of the Grand Duke of Knauf is at stake. Let me ask you one thing.”

“yes.”

“Did all the duels of the Grand Duchess of Knauf be handled that way?”

“Absolutely not. The Grand Duchess of Knauf has always been fair and square.”

“Of course I’d like to say that, but we’ve seen it too.”

“Isn’t it true that the effects of mana bullets vary slightly depending on the level of the sword master?”

“Yes, His Highness Archduke Knauf would know better. Whether or not the Manatan of the Grand Duchess of Knauf is the same as Esoteropy.”

“….”

At the words of Count Larva Omar, who was caught off guard, Baron Katia Michel was unable to say anything.

right.

Whether it was sniping or the effect of Knauf’s mana bullets, Archduke Knauf would have known better.

When the conversation was cut off, Fabian spoke.

“No more? Don’t ask why the duel took place, for example? The task force would have manipulated the information as they always do.”

“Rather than that, I’d like to hear about the reason why Viscount Lagoa decided to fight.”

Anyway, you can learn about the duel through Benzel.

Rather, he was curious about the inner thoughts of Viscount Elio Lagoa, a northern aristocrat.

‘Please tell me. Did he touch the Grand Duchess of Knauf to gain honor like the knights of the Empire, or did he have another purpose?’

Elio looked at Baron Katia Michel with disapproval.

The reason he took the role of a great warrior was because of the shameless behavior of Marquis Gosling Knauf. That’s something you can understand naturally when you hear the reason why the duel happened.

However, that Knauf investigator was more interested in ‘becoming a great warrior’ than ‘the cause of the duel’.

The attitude of ‘it doesn’t matter what the cause of the duel’ is!

What could be more important than that in a duel between knights?

“I didn’t like the Marquis’ brother’s behavior, so I helped Sir Benzel. If you don’t have any more questions, let’s go. I don’t expect it because I think what they’re doing will be as good as the special task force. do you know what that says? Apples do not fall far from the tree [the herb and the rice]. huh? is this correct? Do you understand Fabian?”

“Yes, it is a word that touches my heart.”

“Then it’s done. Investigate, Nabal, and go. Whoa!”

When Elio waved his hand, Baron Katia Mikel stood up embarrassedly.

This is the first time that an investigation conducted in the name of the Grand Duke of Knauf has been treated like this.

However, the opponent was the Marquis of Gosling Knauf, a person who even cut that place.

I didn’t even know how fortunate it was to end like this.

“Thank you for your cooperation. May Mana Phrass protect you for the rest of your schedule…”

Baron Katia Michele was speechless as she was giving her final greetings.

None of the northern nobles were looking at him.

Baron Katia Michel, who was standing with a bewildered face, nodded and left the tavern.

As she left the tavern, she heard the words of northern nobles.

“Ah, I lost the taste of tea. He said he was an investigator for the Grand Duke of Knauf, so I expected it, but it turned out to be a mess.”

“Still, that’s pretty good. Usually, it is as if a criminal is interrogated.”

“I’m an investigator, but I don’t have the slightest interest in facts. I get annoyed when I see people clinging to power like that.”

“Think of it as a pitiful life. That person probably believes that courting the great nobles is ‘doing a good job’. And that’s how you’ll be able to survive in the Grand Duchess of Knauf.”

“It’s the superior’s fault when subordinates only say things that suit the superior’s taste. I think Archduke Knauf is similar to Marquis Gosling. It’s the fruit of that tree. Ay dog crap.”

Baron Katia Mikel couldn’t bear to hear more and covered her ears with her palms.

To say such gossip against the Grand Duke of Knauf, the best swordsmanship family on the continent!

‘ah! Should I report this to His Highness, Archduke Knauf or not?’

It was too disgraceful to report it, and I was reluctant to omit it because it seemed like deceiving the lord.

A tavern appeared in front of Katia Mikel, who trudged along with a bewildered face.

Frustrated, as she entered the tavern, two investigators quickly approached her.

Baron Katia Michel was greeted by the two, and ordered a strong drink from the tavern owner.

Soon after, she took the glass and went out into the dark street.

Words such as ‘a person who lives by clinging to power’ and ‘a pitiful life’ kept floating around in my head.

‘But why were they so enraged?’

Tracing my memory, it happened after I ignored the baron’s words, ‘Don’t ask me why the duel happened?’

‘Would it have been different if I said that I planned to investigate that part sequentially?’

Perhaps the northern nobles misunderstood the unkind tone that had been cultivated during the life of an investigator for the Grand Duchess of Knauf.

‘Why should I try to understand the faults of the northern nobles!’

In a moment of shock, she threw the glass she was holding onto the street.
