Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1089
Episode 1089. Is there a song you want to hear in particular?
The kingdom of Tallinn, located in the center of the north, is recognized by others as the ‘strongest country in the north’.
Its basis was food.
Unlike the barren surrounding kingdoms, the Kingdom of Tallinn had fertile territory.
The northern kingdoms, except for Tallinn, were not self-sufficient.
About 30% of the food distributed in the north is from the kingdom of Tallinn, 50% from the empire and 20% from the southern kingdom.
Like the strongest northern kingdom, the pride of the Tallinn Kingdom’s knights was great.
There was no way that Count Victor Cairn, leader of the Rage Knights of the Kingdom of Tallinn—who could be said to be the face of the kingdom—had heard the idiot, so he couldn’t just ignore it.
There are people who are lenient with themselves and strict with others.
Count Victor Kern was one of those people.
As a human being, he knew that his behavior at the bar was excessive, but he considered it to be within the socially acceptable range.
It was nothing new for the Count to tease Bardos in a bar.
However, it is a felony for young knights in blue to mock the leader of the knights of the strongest kingdom.
Count Victor Kern and Viscount Hans Holt rose from their seats and approached the young knights’ seats.
Since it was a garrison where troops from 8 kingdoms and 1 division of the Imperial Army gathered, no one recognized Elio and Fabian yet.
Count Victor Kern stopped at the seat of the young knights.
Count Victor Kern, who looked down at the two young men with prey eyes, spoke.
“I am Count Victor Kern, a knight of the Kingdom of Tallinn. Looking at the outfit, it looks like the knights of the Escatos Kingdom. Am I right?”
When Fabian, who was only a baron, acted out of his way, Elio reluctantly stepped in.
“So what?”
“Looking at their faces, they only look like barons, do you know that the commanders of the allied forces of the Kingdom have the right to make a summary decision?”
“I heard that there is such a thing.”
“Then, do you know that insulting a superior is punishable by a summary sentence?”
Elio blinked, and vice-captain Viscount Hans Holt yelled out.
“These guys! You’re sitting while the Count is talking! Do you want to die!”
Unable to withstand the pressure, Fabian hesitated to his feet.
Still, Elio just sipped his glass and pretended not to hear.
When the vice-captain tried to say something else, Count Victor Kern raised his hand to stop him.
“You have a lot of spirit. You mean you won’t give in to class? Does that mean you have enough skills? This is fun. Are you trying to challenge me, who is called the ‘Storm Knight’? If that’s really the case, I won’t hesitate. If you win, I’ll make it as if there was no immediate disposition. How are you? Would you like to try it?”
Then Elio replied with a sullen face.
“When you get older, you say that strength goes to your mouth, so I don’t know what you’re talking about. What’s the summary and what’s the challenge? Count, let’s go easily.”
Count Victor Kern gestured as if to continue speaking.
“I don’t like both the immediate disposition and the challenge. Just let me challenge the count to a duel. What the Count is doing is so irritating that he won’t let me see it. how is it? If you’re scared, you can just go.”
In an instant, a fishy smile appeared on Count Victor Kern’s lips.
The request for a duel, a challenge for a summary judgment, and all of them pointed to one thing.
That would mean that the young knight would have to sword-to-sword with himself.
‘A duel would be cleaner than an immediate disposition.’
Even if he was a superior, it was awkward to kill a baron from another kingdom with a summary measure.
But a duel is different.
Aside from titles and kingdoms, no one can dispute the outcome of the duel.
“good night. I will accept it. I didn’t know there was a knight in Escatos who risked his life just for Bardos. I already introduced myself, and who are you to challenge me to a duel?”
As Elio stood up, Fabian stepped out as if he had been waiting.
“Let me introduce myself instead. This is Viscount Elio Lagoa, who is the lord of Slash Land and is called the guardian of Hirhera, the Knight of the Rift.”
“…”
As if time stopped for a moment, no one moved.
The rift in Hirhera and the invasion of the demons gave birth to a hero, and he was Viscount Elio Lagoa.
In front of the unexpected name, Count Victor Keron was dazed for a moment.
Eventually, he came to his senses and carefully examined the article in front of him.
His eyes and face are far from the strong momentum unique to the Sword Master.
I heard that Viscount Elio Lagoa is young, but I never thought he would be such a kid!
‘The rumors are overly exaggerated.’
He regarded Viscount Elio Lagoa as a ‘hero forged’ by the three kingdoms.
‘There’s also the Duke of Escatos, so why did you bring this kid up?’
It could have been for the morale of the young knights, but it was too much.
It would make a dog laugh that such a young fellow defeated a sword master and even cut the neck of a demon lord.
Count Viktor Cairn’s face was sneering when he thought that far.
“It’s surprising that he’s the Viscount of Lagoa, who is rumored to be a wonder. It’s because I don’t really believe in rumors. If I defeat the sutra, will I become the guardian of Hirhera? Whoops!”
Then Elio stared at him and said.
“There is a saying in my hometown, ‘Can an unheated chimney smoke?’”
“I’m sorry, but there is no smoke coming from the chimney of our Tallinn noble family. Because they all use fire stones. The knights gathered here are witnesses of the duel. Where would you like to do it?”
“I’m too lazy to go out, so let’s do it here.”
“Here? I don’t really care. When the property is damaged, the loser decides to bite it. Do you agree?”
“I am overconfident. I guarantee it will be over before the property is destroyed.”
“That’s a lot of confidence. Even if your swordsmanship skills are as great as rumors say, it won’t be easy. For the sake of the Escatos Kingdom, I will not kill you.”
With his horse, Count Victor Cairn stepped back and drew his longsword.
Opposite him stood Elio, but he did not bother to pull out his sword.
Count Victor Kern said to him.
“It looks like he wants to avoid a duel somehow, but it’s already too late. Whether you draw your sword or not, the duel has begun.”
“I said it started, so don’t say anything else.”
In an instant, Elio’s new model “Puck!” and disappeared
Elio, who appeared in front of Count Victor Cairn with Lee Hyung-hwan’s new method, slapped the count’s cheek with the palm of his hand.
‘slam!’ With a groan, the count’s head jerked to one side.
It happened as soon as Elio’s words were finished.
Count Victor Kern reflexively turned his head, and this time a palm flew from the other side.
slam!
The count’s head turned helplessly.
Before the Count could even come to his senses, Elio blew his ears five times.
The count was beaten as if he had lost his soul, unable to respond in the slightest.
Elio, who had hit five, returned to his original position.
The Count shook his head vigorously, as if coming to his senses only then.
The count’s chest was stained red with the blood that flowed from his nose.
It is time for Count Victor Cairn, who belatedly realized his reality, to run forward.
Elio, who appeared in front of him like a ghost again, struck him in the ear once again.
slam! slam! slam!
This time, Count Victor Cairne also swung his sword as if he had prepared his mind.
No, I was trying to wield it.
But his sword did not budge.
It was because, at some point, Elio was pressing down on the pommel at the bottom of Count Victor Kern’s sword handle with his fingers.
Elio backed away like the wind.
Surprised by Viscount Elio Lagoa’s taijutsu, Count Victor Cairn did not dare to move his feet.
Hot liquid flowed from both nostrils, but he didn’t wipe it.
It was only after being beaten twice that the opponent’s presence came into view.
Elio said to the frozen man.
“Would you like to try more, Count? Or will you admit defeat?”
It’s a half word, but Count Victor Cairn accepted it rather gratefully.
“I will admit defeat.”
“Then apologize.”
“I have offended you sir. Forgive me.”
Count Victor Cairn, who threw away his pride, followed his orders without hesitation.
“To Bardos. Miss Erika is not the Count’s maid.”
For a moment, Count Victor Kern hesitated.
For the Count to apologize to one Bardos?
It was tantamount to spoiling the face of the Tallinn nobles.
The voice of Viscount Elio Lagoa came to his ears as he hesitated.
“If you don’t, they’ll think you won’t accept the outcome of the duel. I’ll do it with my fist this time. If your teeth are all gone, will it be difficult to eat meat in the future?”
Elio slammed my palms with his fists like some bastards at the market, ‘Jip!’ hit
At that vulgar provocation, Earl Victor Kern, with tears in his eyes, shouted at Erica, who was far away.
“Miss Erica, please forgive my rudeness!”
Erica gracefully spread one hand to the side and bowed her head slightly in response.
Count Victor Kern turned to Viscount Helio Lagoa.
Count Victor Kern and Viscount Hans Holt hurriedly turned around when Elio waved his hand as if to stop, and left without looking back.
As Elio and Fabian sat down, Erica cautiously approached them.
“Thank you for helping Viscount Elio Lagoa.”
“Thank you for what. As a man, I’m just ashamed. Not all men are like the Count, so don’t be disappointed with men.”
“of course. I am well aware that there are many gentlemen like the Viscount.”
Fabian, who had been glancing at Erica, interrupted.
“There are many gentlemen among barons. You didn’t introduce me. I am Baron Fabian Cloud, called the ‘Knight of the Rift’ along with the Viscount.”
“Ah yes. You are the company commander of Rufus Company, right? I heard a lot. I’m Erica… Noble. Ramus is now only a nobleman’s castle.”
“aha! Do you have a relationship like this! I was also Ramus, who only used noble surnames a while ago. I recently became a true nobility with the title of baron.”
“Oh, that’s right. Very nice to see you.”
Erika’s face, who had lived with discrimination rather than discrimination as Ramus, was blushing.
All commoners dream of rising in status, but Ramus is especially special.
This is because the desire of those who had and lost it is greater than those who never had it from the beginning.
A female clerk approached Erika, who was casually sitting together and having a conversation, whispering in her ear.
Erica, who nodded, spoke to Elio and Fabian.
“It is already time to sing again. Is there a song you want to hear in particular?”
For a moment, Fabian replied as if he had been waiting.
“’Knights always run away’, please. Who is the vice-captain? What do you have?”
Erica turned to Viscount Elio Lagoa.
She asked the two, but in fact her question was directed at Viscount Elio Lagoa.
Even if his swordsmanship is excellent, it is not because he is a viscount.
She was infatuated with Viscount Elio Lagoa, who saved her at the moment of crisis.
Elio shrugged and said.
“There must be a song you know. I like all of Erica’s songs, so please sing any of them.”
“Yes, I will. Please listen to the end without leaving your seat.”
Eventually, Erica got up and disappeared with the saleswoman who had called for her.
