Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1091
Episode 1091. He is an exceptional human being.
Fabian glanced at Elio’s complexion.
As the strongest country in the north, the pride of the Tallinn Kingdom’s knights was famous.
It would have been rather strange if he had beaten the knight commander of the Kingdom of Tallinn in front of the allied knights.
“Do whatever you want. I am not one to look back.”
“The Tallinn Kingdom’s knights may challenge you to a duel.”
“Do it. give me lose what’s the problem?”
“If you fight the kingdom of Tallinn like that, it might turn into an affair between the kingdoms.”
“Tell me to do whatever you want. I’m not even a king are you okay.”
Elio didn’t care as much as the snow.
What mattered to him was right and wrong, not the face of an aristocrat.
“I am saying this because it will be difficult to succeed if you are out of the eyes of the royal family. With the viscount’s swordsmanship, you can become a duke… but if you cause trouble, it’s difficult for the count.”
“Fabian.”
“yes?”
“If you cling to a seat, your life will get tired from then on. Does the viscount eat three meals a day and the duke ten meals a day? It’s the same whether you’re a viscount or a duke, and you eat three meals a day anyway.”
“Why are you talking about eating here?”
“Why are you coming? What could be more important than making a living?”
“Is the Viscount saying that if you only eat three meals a day, the rest doesn’t matter anyway?”
“uh.”
As if frustrated by Elio’s words, Fabian raised his chest ‘Puck-Puck!’ I was beaten.
“No, man is not an animal. How do you think about eating? If you’re like the Viscount, you should look a little higher.”
“What’s up there?”
“The Count and Marquis Duke. Even if you can’t do it with a knight, you should aim for the count.”
“So you mean you should have watched even if the count of Tallinn gave an injection in a bar? You were the one who cursed at the Count! men and horses! Is this a very different person?”
“I mean, let’s end it with Count Cairn. It’s a loss to the Viscount if you have to grow more.”
“Do I raise the plate? You don’t know yet, but I hate fighting. What a soft-hearted person I am.”
“I know that the Viscount is a good man. What I mean is, even if Tallinn raises a dispute, don’t raise your business as much as possible.”
“He makes me say the same thing over and over again. There is a saying in our hometown. The tree tries to stay still, but the wind blows and shakes the branches. I am like a tree.”
“Yes, it is a tree that can not be shaken even in a typhoon, so why does it shake even when a breeze blows? I mean.”
“Do you know why?”
“I asked because I didn’t know.”
“My blood boils when I see things that don’t even look like they use their strength to do bad things.”
“Viscount.”
“why?”
“If a knight like me acts according to his feelings, the end will come to nothing. But if someone like the Viscount does that… the country will be shaken.”
“A country that will be shaken by punishing injustice can perish.”
“It is not about pursuing justice and injustice. I mean do what you feel. If someone like the Viscount lives just as he feels, the country will be shaken.”
“I have never had a baby.”
“I heard that when the knights of the kingdom of Tallinn attack, they all fall in love. Even if the country shakes, he said it’s okay because he’s not the king. That’s enough for the barracks.”
Elio then turned to Fabian.
“Fabian.”
“yes?”
“If you were a sword master, what would you do?”
“…”
Fabian didn’t readily answer.
Elio asked again.
“If the knights of the Kingdom of Tallinn come to you and say shit, will you apologize for your mistake? Or are you going to give it away?”
“…I don’t think he will apologize.”
“Good thing. If you said you apologized, I was going to break it somewhere.”
“Is it just like that?”
“Only? A sword master who is not properly mindful brings harm to the world. You should be thankful that he didn’t say he would kill you.”
“Looking at it at times like this, the Viscount is more righteous than anyone else, but it’s a pity.”
“What are you sorry about?”
“In the Kingdom of Tallinn, the Viscount will think of you as a dirty person, won’t you? So you’ll be more angry. Considering that such a vicious cycle would repeat itself…”
Fabian shook his head excitedly.
A knight academy graduate, he found this a difficult dilemma to solve.
It could only be solved with a dramatic change in the attitude of the knights of the Kingdom of Tallinn or Viscount Elio, because that was only possible in fairy tales.

It took less than a day for what happened in Chrysopedio to reach the ears of the Tallinn kingdom’s knights.
Hearing the rumor that ‘Count Victor Cairne was beaten by Viscount Helio Lagoa of Escatos Kingdom’, the nobles of Tallinn rushed to their enemy, Duke Ulrik Lundgren.
Count Rolf Ekman, deputy general of the Tallinn Kingdom, spoke on behalf of the nobles.
“There is no doubt that Viscount Elio Lagoa of the Kingdom of Escatos broke the rules of the Allied Forces. There are dozens of eyewitness accounts of his beating of his superior, Count Victor Kern. There is nothing to go far. This happened in front of the eyes of Viscount Hans Holt, who accompanied the Count. The allied knights are paying attention to our Tallinn kingdom’s response. If we know it and pretend we don’t know it… the honor of the kingdom of Tallinn will fall to the ground.”
Duke Ulrik Lundgren, who had been listening in silence, asked Count Rolf Ekman and the nobles standing behind him.
“Do you know about Viscount Elio Lagoa?”
As the nobles hesitated, Count Rolf Ekman stepped up again.
“I know if you mean that he defeated Count Codrantes and killed Moloch at Glaches Fortress. But aren’t those just rumors? There is a lot of talk even within the Allied Forces about it. Some even say that he was a hero created to boost the morale of the garrison in Hirhera.”
“If you consider the status of the sword master, Count Codrantes, you know how baseless that speculation is.”
“But Viscount Elio Lagoa is only in his late twenties now. It is impossible to defeat a sword master at his age.”
“So why spread that impossible rumor in Escatos and Baylem Raminof?”
“The morale of the garrison in Hirhera…”
“Rabbit. It is much more effective to make Count Codrantes or Duke Escatos into a hero than a knight from a barbarian.”
“But if Viscount Elio Lagoa really did such a thing, why would his title in the Kingdom of Escatos be only Viscount?”
“…”
Duke Ulrik Lundgren made a puzzled expression.
The Count was right.
Compared to the great rumors, the title of Elio Lagoa was very insignificant.
The Marquis of Stormier, the general, said to the worried Duke Ulrik Lundgren.
“majesty. There is a point in the general’s words. The honor and title established by Viscount Elio Lagoa do not match. Count Codrantes may have conceded victory to him for some reason. Hasn’t anyone witnessed the killing of Moloch?”
“The general doesn’t believe in rumors.”
“Before attending this event, I met Count Victor Kern. He said he was hit by taijutsu, not swordsmanship.”
“So you can’t believe it?”
“Covering it like this is not good for the morale of the knights of the Kingdom of Tallinn.”
“If this matter is made official, either Viscount Elio Lagoa or the Kingdom of Tallinn will receive a fatal blow.”
“The Kingdom of Tallinn has already suffered a major blow. You must be held accountable for assaulting your superior in front of the knights.”
“Hmm!”
A quiet voice flowed from Duke Ulrik Lundgren’s mouth.
Even from his own perspective, it was problematic for the viscount to assault the count in front of allied knights.
Duke Ulrik Lundgren, who was worried, suddenly saw the general.
“But I still don’t know the circumstances surrounding this incident. What the hell happened between you two?”
“There is a bar and inn called Chrysopedio in the garrison. There, it seems that Count Cairne was harassing the female Bardos. It is said that the knights of the Kingdom of Escatos who saw it cursed and quarreled.”
“You mean the viscount hit the count just for making fun of Bardos?”
“That’s why the Knights of the Allied Forces pay attention to how we, the Kingdom of Tallinn, are responding. In the quarrel between the two, the status of the kingdom of Tallinn has now become an issue at stake.”
“So what is the solution?”
“Escatos Kingdom should ask Viscount Helio Lagoa to be punished, or Count Cairne should challenge Viscount Helio Lagoa to a duel.”
“I don’t think the Kingdom of Escatos will agree to the punishment, so it’s a duel… Is there a warrior who will fight on behalf of Count Cairn?”
There are also sword masters in Tallinn Kingdom.
But none of them were worthy of becoming Count Cairn’s champions.
“There is one opponent suitable for Viscount Elio Lagoa.”
“Is there? To replace Count Cairn, you must be a sword master, right?”
“Just in time, Mercenary King Chris Dunamis’ mercenaries have entered the Kingdom of Tallinn. Chris Dunamis is externally known to be stronger than Count Codrantes. He is an undeserved opponent for Viscount Elio Lagoa.”
“But he is an acquaintance of Marquis Bernardo. Have you forgotten that Viscount Elio Lagoa is from the Marquis Bernardo?”
“Yes, but Chris Dunamis is a mercenary to the core. He won’t refuse to duel with Viscount Elio Lagoa if we ask him for the Great Warrior first. Once the mercenary contract is concluded, even Marquis Bernardo cannot be overthrown.”
“It seems plausible. First of all, ask the Kingdom of Escatos to formally dispose of Viscount Elio Lagoa, and proceed with a contract with Chris Dunamis just in case.”
“All right.”
The nobles who had rushed to them turned around with satisfied faces.
***
Next morning.
Viscount Roland Bennant, Chief of Staff of the Tallinn Kingdom, visited the base of the Escatos Kingdom Army.
Having had a private meeting with Count Colin Strong, Vice General of the Kingdom of Escatos, he conveyed the words of Duke Ulrik Lundgren.
“Two days ago in Chrysopedio, Viscount Elio Lagoa, who returned home, was violent against Count Victor Kern, the commander of the knights of his home country. Duke Ulrik Lundgren has demanded a fair punishment for Viscount Elio Lagoa’s actions.”
Count Colin Strong replied with a puzzled face.
“I’m sorry about that… but I heard that Count Cairn didn’t do well either. Besides, since both sides went through the dueling process, it’s hard to see it as a hypocrisy. Who’s fighting for rank in a duel?”
“It sounds like you are rejecting the formal request of the Marshal of the Kingdom of Tallinn, is that correct?”
“It’s not a refusal, it’s just that I want you to know that no crime was established in the first place.”
Earl Colin Strong responded with the utmost courtesy.
This is because the kingdom of Tallinn is not an opponent to be taken lightly by the kingdom of Escatos.
Then Viscount Roland Bennant spoke in a calm tone.
“Commander. Aside from everything else, the Count was beaten by the Viscount. This is not good for all of us nobles. It is correct in many ways to hold Viscount Helio Lagoa accountable. Isn’t it?”
“That’s all right. I don’t know why But Viscount Elio Lagoa… No. He is an exceptional human being. Do you know what they called him in the Hirhera Garrison?”
“What do you call it?”
“Untouchable. When he was still a baron, he beat Count Putokoa in front of the soldiers. For that, Count Codrantes fought a duel with him, but he too was defeated. Do we just like Viscount Elio Lagoa? I can’t help it, so I’m just watching. He is literally untouchable. It would be best not to get entangled with him even when you return home.”
Count Colin Strong shook his head with a tired face.
Fortunately, Viscount Elio Lagoa was docile unless he was touched first.
If it wasn’t for that, it would have been a rift and all the nobles would have escaped from Hirhera.
