Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1014

Episode 1014. Have you ever seen a silver rift up close?

Marquis Bernardo watched the conversation between the three from a step away.

There was only one thought in his mind right now.

The question is whether or not the nobility of the territory should be informed that Elio is a survivor of the Hirhera disaster.

If the nobles knew Elio’s true identity, they would have been inquiring about what happened in Hirhera.

If so, an astute nobleman could deduce that the ‘Meteor Swarm’ had fallen on Hirhera.

‘Meteor Swarm’ is the realm of God.

The morale of the aristocrats fell, and of course, there could be people who left.

Of course, there is a possibility that the fact that Elio is a survivor will be known through Count Putokoa. But the ice wall would be repaired faster than that.

‘Should I keep it a secret for the time being?’

Come to think of it, it seems that he hasn’t even ordered a separate crackdown on Elio until now.

It is because he inadvertently passed on the prejudice that he was a ‘savage man who does not speak the language’.

However, since he received the Artifact of Interpretation from the court mage, Carlos, that is not something to be relieved of.

Especially now that he is living with nobles.

Thinking that far, Marquis Bernardo summoned Elio and conveyed his thoughts in a whisper.

Marquis Bernardo, who finished the work in such a hurry, moved to the place where high-ranking nobles gathered.

The gathered nobles followed the Marquis like goslings.

In an instant, the surroundings of Baron Dennis Robin and his rival became cold.

Nevertheless, Baron Dennis Robin led Elio, who was standing in a daze, and moved to a more secluded spot.

“Well, for people like us, this kind of corner is more comfortable. Isn’t it?”

Baron Dennis Robin immediately put his horse down to take up the discipline.

I wasn’t the kind of person who cared about trivial things like dating, so I accepted it casually.

“A little bit.”

Yeon Jeok-ha was also comfortable in the corner because he had a personality that did not show himself in front of him.

“Everyone has preconceived notions about savages, but I am different. Have you ever slept with a beast woman?”

When Baron Dennis Robin suddenly came in the wrong direction, he couldn’t help but panic.

“doesn’t exist. My wife is a human being.”

“It’s not about the wife, is it? I’m just talking about sleeping with women. Speaking of knights’ pastimes.”

“ah.”

I knew that Baron Dennis Robin’s interest was in that direction.

It wasn’t new because there were many Madou like that in Green Forest.

On the other hand, I wondered if the Marquis Bernardo’s article about “only pursuing justice” could be like that, but seeing that he didn’t hide it, it seems to be okay.

Baron Dennis Robin glanced sideways at Elio.

Seeing that he answered so that the conversation did not continue, his sociability was very poor.

‘Well, do savages know about cults?’

If he hadn’t caught the attention of Marquis Bernardo, who was greedy for talent, Elio would have been running around the forest by now.

“Do you know why three territories dispatched soldiers to Hirhera?”

“Isn’t it because of the cracks in the ice wall?”

“right. Soldiers dispatched from the three territories take turns blocking the cracks in the ice wall. The vanguard of Marquis Bernardo is our Alpha Company.”

Baron Dennis Robin gave strength to the word ‘Alpha Company’.

In company formation, ‘alpha’ means the beginning and standard.

So the knights recognized the Alpha Company as the strongest unit.

Although Yeon Jeok-ha, who was living in the barracks for the first time, did not feel anything.

When Elio didn’t respond, Baron Dennis Robin continued with the introduction of Alpha Company.

“When put into the rift, Alpha Company will take the front line, and Bellatos Company and Charlie Company will assist on the left and right sides. It’s a bit harsh on Alpha Company at the forefront, but it can’t be helped. Due to the nature of the terrain, only one company can stand in the lead.”

“Ah…”

An exclamation flowed from Yeonjeokha’s mouth.

When Elio showed emotion for the first time, Baron Dennis Robin smiled.

“It is too early to be surprised. The gnostic troops sent to the rift change every three days, and tomorrow is the turn of the Marquis Bernardo family. Have you ever seen a silver rift up close?”

“doesn’t exist.”

Then Baron Dennis Robin said teasingly.

“I’ll see you to my heart’s content tomorrow. After breakfast, return to Alpha Company. By the way, if you have personal luggage, we recommend that you bring all of them. You will live in front of the rift for three days.”

Afterwards, Baron Dennis Robin gave a long speech about life in the Rift.

By the time his words were over, the coffee break had also come to an end.

I walked back to the barracks of the second lieutenant, trudging through the eyes of the enemy.

When I opened the barracks curtain and went inside, the sound that had been heard outside suddenly stopped.

Either that or not, he went to his cot and lay down for a long time.

Quite a lot seems to have happened in one day.

I met a marquis, became a knight, was promised a title, greeted nobles, was assigned a company…

I think there was something else, but I couldn’t remember.

Then Fabian approached and spoke to him.

“Did the Marquis’ coffee time go well?”

Only then did Yeonjeokha recall what he had forgotten.

It was a duel with Fabian.

After being beaten with one blow, he became quite docile.

‘A cute guy.’

He muttered inwardly, and answered simply.

“uh.”

“Have you ever heard of being placed somewhere?”

“I heard you.”

For a moment, the eyes of the knights in the barracks were focused.

Now that I see it, everyone seems to be curious about that.

Even though he clearly knew, he didn’t tell me first.

As expected, Fabian could not stand it and asked.

“Which company were you assigned to?”

“Alpha.”

The faces of the knights who were still listening were distorted.

Fabian’s expression didn’t look good either.

“What’s wrong with your expression? Have you lost enemies with Alpha Company?”

Then, Fabian let out a light sigh.

“ha. It can’t be. This is the quarters for the second lieutenants of Alpha Company. Welcome to Alpha Company.”

Contrary to what he said, Fabian looked like he was chewing shit.

It was only then that he realized why Fabian and the knights who were rivals were disappointed.

“what? Did you really want me to be assigned to another company?”

“Oh no. I thought it was fortunate that the power was replenished.”

That’s a lie.

The reason Ridley first brought in a new recruit was because he wanted to fill the vacancy left by an injury.

However, the second lieutenants of Alpha Company changed their minds after learning that Elio, who seemed to be okay, was from a barbarian.

Now everyone was hoping Elio would be assigned to Bellatos or Charlie Company.

That’s why the reaction of the knights was bad.

“Isn’t this a face? What can I do though? You should stay with Alpha Company until you receive your title. Just wait until you get your title.”

An awkward smile appeared on Fabian’s face.

He did not know that Elio’s title would directly affect his life.

The knights began sharpening their weapons with resigned faces.

I could understand the behavior of the knights belatedly.

It will be put into the rift tomorrow, so it is being fixed in advance.

After finishing the conversation, Fabian, who was about to return to his place, was stopped by Yeonjeokha.

“Fabian.”

“yes?”

“I heard that Alpha Company is the vanguard…. Seeing that only one person was injured, the fight must be fierce, right?”

“Because the number of Alpha Company is still far greater than the number of monsters.”

“How many Alpha Company are there?”

“There are five ensigns, three centenarians, three tens, and thirty soldiers, three hundred.”

Yeonjeokha shook his head.

It was said that if three companies faced each other like that, about nine hundred people would be put in.

Including the troops of the royal palace in the three territories, it means that at least 3,000 people are stationed in Hirhera.

Yeon Jeok-ha, who continued his thoughts, tilted his head.

Still, the number in front of the crack was at the same level as last time.

‘At the time, it seemed like a thousand soldiers were struggling to stop it?’

Whether the number of monsters had decreased or not, it meant that the current soldiers were superior in quality.

However, the level of aristocrats seen at the Marquis’ coffee time was so-so.

‘Then, the number of monsters has decreased…’

No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know why the number of monsters decreased.

It was also strange that the magician who had even showered Hirhera with a meteor shower did not follow up.

“Couldn’t the low number of monsters be dissatisfaction?”

Fabian looked at Elio with suspicion.

He hoped that no matter how much Elio liked to fight, he hadn’t gone so crazy.

“I heard that monsters live on the other side of the ice wall?”

“Are you sure you’re not satisfied with the Witchbeast?”

Fabian looked at Elio with wide eyes.

Anyway, isn’t the monster going too far!

“No, I thought it might be a monster, not a monster. Then, even if the number is large, it becomes dangerous, right?”

“Court mage Carlos and sword master Duke Escatos are here, what are you worried about?”

“I’m not worried. It’s not like they’re guarding the rift. Who’s in front of the crack? You said it was our Alpha Company? It must be difficult as Baron Dennis Robin, right?”

“I’m sorry, but the company commander won’t be able to take a bite of a monster.”

“So you’re saying that we have to treat ourselves with our bodies until the high-ranking people come? Right?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. The monsters haven’t come out yet. It won’t come out in the future.”

“Then why is the other side of the ice wall so quiet?”

“You may not even know it’s cracked yet.”

“Do you think the cracks formed naturally?”

“….”

Fabian, who responded clearly, fell silent.

Another name for the ice wall is Scutum, which means ‘God’s shield’.

There is even a story that a sword master from a kingdom in the past used a sword to cut an ice wall, but the sword actually broke.

Even the 7th Circle Archmage’s Inferno couldn’t melt the Ice Wall.

Can such an ice wall break naturally?

I don’t know if the weather is warm.

There was no natural breaking of the ice wall in such a cold snowfield.

I just had a lot of luck in the middle of the day, and I lay down on the bed.

Fabian looked down at Elio with complicated eyes.

It doesn’t sound like you know anything, but I don’t know why you’re so anxious.

the next morning.

The second lieutenants of Alpha Company, who woke up early, checked their personal equipment once more and headed to the cafeteria.

This time, Yeon Jeok-ha, whose affiliation was confirmed, also moved together.

The restaurant was full of nobles from the Marquis Bernardo.

It was thanks to the consideration of other territories that it was Marquis Bernardo’s turn to be put into the rift.

Unlike the high-ranking nobles who chatted from time to time, none of the 15 second lieutenants (three companies) spoke.

With a rather familiar gesture of linking up, I tore the bread and dipped it in the soup and ate it.

Following the speed of the second lieutenants of Alpha Company, after finishing their meal, they moved to the dish drop box with the second lieutenants.

The second lieutenants who returned the tableware took a handful of energy balls as promised.

It is a noticeable change that occurred prior to the introduction of the rift.

Yeonjeokha also took more energy balls than yesterday.

Fabian, who was worse off, uttered a hint.

“Bellatos and Charlie Company lieutenants are watching.”

“Ah….”

An exclamation flowed out of Yeonjeokha’s mouth belatedly, but he did not put down the energy ball he was holding in his hand.
