Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1172

Episode 1172. Are you mocking me for being a woman!

next day.

At sunset, the work of replacing the main sail of the horse-powered sailboat and repairing the deck was completed.

Arcos Adal, the captain of the Octopus, visited Count Omar of Larva after meticulously checking the main trap and deck condition.

“Count. The main sail has been replaced. Even the broken deck has been cleaned up.”

“You broke it, so I won’t say that you worked hard. From now on, take good care of the other person and work.”

Count Larva Omar looked at Arcos Adal with indifferent eyes.

I wanted to arrest all of them and hand them over to the Imperial Security Service, but I couldn’t do that to the pirates who had received a privateer’s license in the Southern Kingdom.

Because the Northern Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom are allies.

Even though it was in a state of insignificance now, he did not want to damage it himself.

‘If you want to keep the empire in check, you shouldn’t even damage it.’

So it was only natural to let go of the captured pirates.

“I will keep that in mind. Can I leave now?”

“I heard that your ship is a converted merchant ship… Are all pirates these days like that?”

“It is not. To make it easier to hit and run, only the bow was equipped with guns. Most still have guns mounted on their sides.”

“Right. Are there other pirates active around the Sea of Demons?”

“doesn’t exist. Even the pirates are reluctant to go to the Sea of Demons.”

“By the way, did you manage to follow our ship? Did any of our ship’s crew sell information?”

“doesn’t exist. I just prepared it after hearing the rumors at the port tavern.”

Arcos Adal examined the count’s complexion.

Of course, there are sailors who are in love, but there was no reason to teach them that.

“is it.”

Count Omar of Larva asked no more.

I could dig deeper here, but there’s no reason to go that far.

Before long, Count Larva Omar waved his hand as if it were annoying.

“Then we will go away. May the blessings of Mana Phrass be with you.”

Arcos Adal bowed politely and turned around.

After a while, the pirates who had come over for repairs returned to the privateer Octopus.

The hook that held the two ships together was disengaged and the Octopus slowly pulled back.

Elio muttered as he watched the Octopus move away from the boat.

“These are rude things.”

Then Fabian asked.

“why? Are the pirates cursing at us?”

“The front of that ship is facing this way.”

“How is that?”

“I don’t know? It looks like the magic cannon is aiming at this side.”

“uh? Is that so?”

Only then did Fabian frown.

But to fire magic cannons at the ship they’ve worked so hard to repair?

Thinking so, Fabian pointed his finger at the Octopus and shouted.

“uh? Pirates are walking camouflage!”

Soon after, the two magic cannons on the bow of the Octopus appeared.

Surprised, the crew of the magical sailboat screamed and ran to and fro.

Sailors raised all the auxiliary sails that they had folded to live.

Then the sails of the Octopus were unfurled one by one.

Just like the day we first met, it became a chasing and chasing relationship again.

Fabian, who was watching the Octopus gradually catch up, said with an absurd face.

“Why are they like that?”

“I know. There’s nothing to steal, so why did you take out the magic cannon?”

The two tilted their heads at the incomprehensible behavior of the pirates.

bang!

Along with the sound of the magic cannon, a column of water gushed from the back of the magic sailboat.

The sailors were contemplative and did not know what to do.

bang!

Again, a column of water gushed from the aft end.

Fabian, who was glaring at the Octopus, glanced back at Viscount Elio Lagoa.

“At this rate, we will be shot before dark.”

Elio, who was shaking his head, spoke to Count Larva Omar.

“I don’t want the Count’s crew to get hurt, so please stop them from falling on the ship once or twice.”

“All right.”

Immediately moving to the stern, Count Larva Omar drew his longsword.

Do you want me to stop the magic bullets?

Certainly Sir Lagoa thought differently from ordinary people.

I had never cut a magic bullet before, but I thought there was nothing I couldn’t do.

Bell had confidence in anything as long as he could see it.

Larva Count Omar quietly raised his mana blade.

Ugh-!

His sword glowed faintly under the dark red sunset.

Uriel, the gunnery leader of the Octopus, pointed forward and shouted.

“It is the light of the Mana Blade! Foolish bastards! You’re begging me to kill you! catchers! Shoot at those lights! The sword master’s sword can’t reach us, but our magic cannon can reach that ship! Keep shooting! I mean pour it out!”

Since the purpose is to sink it anyway, all you have to do is hit the target.

The pirates, whose morale had risen, generously fired their magic cannons.

bang! bang!

One of the cannonballs fired by magical energy fell into the stern of the magical sailboat.

Count Larva Omar, who had been waiting, swung his longsword like a thunderbolt.

Zeng-!

With a heavy metal sound, the halved cannonball deviated to the left and right of the magical sailboat.

Earl Larva Omar, who had split the cannonball in one blow, pulled out the mana blade again and raised it.

He pretended to be calm, but his heart was beating fast and his breathing was rough.

‘ha! ha!’

If you cut one more time, you feel like your concentration will be disturbed.

It seemed like he knew why Viscount Lagoa had asked to be blocked only once or twice.

‘Whoa!’

Earl Larva Omar, who was struggling to control his breathing, opened his eyes wide.

Viscount Elio Lagoa is running on the sea?

‘omg!’

If you strain your eyes and look again, you can only move forward by kicking the waves with your feet.

The pirates must have seen it too, and the sound of the magic cannon stopped.

Stopping next to the Octopus, Elio pulled out his sword and swung it.

The aura blade fired from the Thunder Sword hit the Octopus directly.

Quad Deuk-!

With a single sword, Octopus’ waist was cut straight.

Elio left behind the sinking Octopus and went back to the magic sailboat.

It is a new method of forceful reply that is said to be superior to the level of equality.

As much as he had to hold his body in the air, he needed an enormous amount of gong power, but Elio didn’t even notice that much gong power.

The moment he set foot on the stern, the Octopus sank without a trace.

The pirates were floating in the sunset grabbing onto the planks.

Captain Althelm, who left the rudder and ran to the stern, asked cautiously.

“The pirates… what will they do?”

Elio replied with a sullen face.

“We must entrust it to the protection of Mana Phthras. is that right? Count?”

At Viscount Elio Lagoa’s question, Count Larva Omar nodded.

“you’re right. If you rescue them and return to the port, you will have to hand them over to the security forces.

“Did you hear? If you give me a chance, I should be grateful. to die.”

“yes!”

Seeing the young viscount running across the sea in front of him, the captain did not ask twice.

He ordered the crew to lower the sails and returned to the wheelhouse to turn off the power drive.

The horsepower sailboat slowly drifted along the current.

After that incident, the sailors did not mention the sea area of the horse.

The same was true of Bruno, the navigator who was afraid of the Sea of Magic.

How dare you complain in front of a man who runs on the sea on his own two feet and cuts a large sailboat in half with a single sword!

Moreover, anxiety and fear can only be felt when the sea is raging.

The current sea area of the devil was incredibly calm.

The magical sailboat, which had been wandering in the sea of demons for three days, turned its bow back to Hades Port.

It is to treat the sailors who were injured the day they first met the Octopus.

The pirates aimed at the main sail, and no one was seriously injured, but they decided to reorganize it because they couldn’t make the injured do difficult sailing.

***

Fiestra.

Hades port.

Early moning.

The day the magic sailboat returned to the port was just in time for a thick fog in the morning.

Elio’s party packed up their belongings and went back to the lodging they had stayed five days before.

Finally, Captain Althelm, who got off the ship, looked at the magic sailboat with emotion.

Although it was a short voyage of only five days, it was more thrilling than any voyage he had experienced in his entire life.

I’ve never been bombarded by a pirate ship, and I’ve never stayed in demonic waters for so long.

I even saw a knight run over the sea and cut the pirate ship in two.

Will I ever see a sight like that again in my lifetime?

‘Probably not.’

As he shook his head, he heard a young woman’s voice behind him.

“Captain Althelm.”

Althelm slowly turned back.

Perhaps it was because of such an amazing experience, even if someone suddenly came to me, I was calm.

“Yes, but.”

Althelm did not despise the opponent, even though he was a woman.

It was because she was wearing an outfit that only knights of the lord would wear.

just as expected?

“I am Benzel of the Boris Knights. I came to ask you a few questions.”

“To me? I’m just the captain of an ordinary magic sailboat.”

“I already know who you are. I have come to inquire about the northern nobles.”

“Ah yes.”

Althelm lowered his eyes.

It was natural for the lord to be interested in those northern nobles.

“Aren’t you surprised?”

“Because the northern nobles are worthy of that.”

“It’s strange. I understand that this is your first meeting with the northern nobles. But are you such a person? What do you mean?”

“Ah, as you said, these are the first people I met. We saw so many things during our five-day voyage together.”

“okay? We’ll hear that story a little later. Before that, I need to know the purpose of the northern nobility’s voyage. Where did you go with them?”

“I went to the Sea of Demons.”

“You mean you’ve been in the sea of demons since you left?”

“Yes, I came after circling around the Sea of Ma for three days.”

“Why?”

“They said they were looking for perforation.”

Captain Althelm didn’t hide it because it wasn’t even a secret.

“Is there any possibility that you have investigated the port of Hades and the sea near Fiestra?”

For knights, Fiesta is famous for naval battles.

As such, it was a place where the enemy could spy on anyone.

“doesn’t exist. As soon as we set sail, we sailed in a straight line toward Rhodes Island. Offshore didn’t even come close.”

The Demon Sea is located in the center of Hades Port and Rhodes Island.

As such, it was impossible to spy on the waters near Fiesta.

“i get it. For the purpose of finding the Celestial Star, he stayed in the Demon Sea for three days. Am I right?”

“That’s right.”

“Don’t report it like that. Now let’s hear what you saw.”

“Yes, that’s why…”

Captain Althelm confided about the pirate ship he met in the sea of demons.

“…Those pirates pretended to go, then came back and fired magic cannons at our ship. It was obvious that it would not work in hand-to-hand combat, so they tried to drown us in the sea.”

“Apart from that, your stomach was fine?”

“The Count slashed the shells that fell on the ship with his sword. In the meantime, the Viscount ran over the sea and tore the pirate ship behind him in two.”

In an instant, Benzel’s eyebrows rose upward.

“Are you making fun of me for being a woman now?”
