Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1224
Episode 1224. What a great verdict!
Escorted by the Phoenix Knights, the guards and three wagons passed through the gates.
Andrea Jeter did not move with her back stiffly erect.
I thought he was a wandering adventurer, but he’s a count.
He was also a person with such a high level of retardation that the Marquis sent him to the knight commander.
To him, who was only a member of the baron family, the count was a difficult existence to dare to look at.
Even his wife, Shine Cowles, was alert and didn’t even breathe.
Born into a baron family, she was well aware of the ferocity of the great nobility.
The great nobility is, in a word, a tiger.
No one knows what the tiger is thinking.
To be honest, she liked but was afraid that Synclair’s teacher was a great noble.
It was like riding on the back of a tiger.
Unlike parents who were confused by expectations and fears, Synchreer Jeter was good.
It was because the Count was much better than the Master being a wanderer.
Meanwhile, in the other wagon, the Wayne Scotts were breathing heavily.
The two did not open their mouths after the identity of the adventurer was revealed.
I didn’t show it on the outside because of face, but inside I was indescribably distressed.
It’s not because I’m jealous of Synclare Jeter’s luck.
It was because he was worried about how he would come back to slander the adventurer without knowing he was the count.
It was the same with other nobles who joined the adventurer’s slander.
Aside from the complex screening of the nobles, the carriage ran smoothly down the road under the escort of the knights.

Written by Marquis Reg Evans.
Passengers, as well as the transportation manager and five guards, were ushered into the banquet hall.
When Elio and his party entered, the butler of the Marquis family shouted.
“Guardian of the Skutum (ice wall) that protects the continent from those ferocious demons! The legitimate ruler of the Duchy of Lorraine, Latinus, and Northern Slash Land! A great grand master who stands shoulder to shoulder with Archduke Kaiser Knauf, the fittest son of the sword! Count Elio Lagoa is entering!”
After his introduction, the waiting bardos started playing in unison.
Magnificent music shook the banquet hall.
After the short performance, the nobles gathered in the banquet hall clapped madly.
clap clap clap-!
The Marquis, Marquis Reg Evans, smiled brightly and approached Count Helio Lagoa.
“Come, Count Lagoa. I am Marquis Reg Evans, lord of Odessa. A warm welcome to Odessa, the gateway city.”
Despite his high position, he greeted Count Elio Lagoa first.
“This is Elio Lagoa.”
After greeting Elio, Marquis Reg Evans’ eyes turned to the back.
“They must be Count Omar of Larva and Baron Fabian Cloud. Nice to meet you.”
“I am Count Omar of Larva. It is an honor to meet you.”
“I am Baron Fabian Cloud.”
After a brief greeting, Marquis Reg Evans led Count Helio Lagoa and his party to the table of honor.
Marquis Reg Evans and Count Helio Lagoa sat side by side, and Count Larva Omar and Fabian took their seats next to them.
The servants of the Marquis took the standing passengers to seats on one side.
Marquis Reg Evans, who prepared this special banquet, got lucky first.
“I have heard a lot. Is Skutum safe now?”
“Yes, I heard that the rift is returning to its original state. It is said that the power of the creator god came back to life after removing the charat (bone fragments with curses).”
“iced coffee! I hope it’s good. I heard that he also fought against demon lords… Is that true?”
“Somehow it happened.”
“Awesome. Are demon lords stronger than sword masters?”
Marquis Reg Evans looked at Count Helio Lagoa with new eyes.
He only looks like he’s in his mid-twenties, but it’s just amazing to hear the sound of a grandmaster.
“It is very strong.”
Elio did not speak at length.
It must be said that there is no human being who can fight on an equal footing with the demon lord.
If it wasn’t for the Gucheon Sword Spirit, he would have been buried in the ground.
Marquis Reg Evans, who was somewhat curious, turned the topic slightly.
“really! I heard from His Highness the Prince that the Crow Viscounts had done a great offense to the Countess of Lagoa. What the hell happened?”
“I took in a young disciple during my travels. But over that, the nobles of Viscount Crow cursed at me like I was a pervert. The disciple’s father was even beaten by him.”
“Huh! how could that happen Is that madman here?”
“yes.”
“Why did you keep such a person alive until now when you would kill him on the spot?”
Marquis Reg Evans looked at Count Elio Lagoa with bewildered eyes.
Even if you are a noble, you will die if you fall out of the eyes of a great noble.
It didn’t matter because the law is an earring if you wear it on your ear, and a nose ring if you wear it on your nose.
That is why ordinary nobles fear great nobles.
But I don’t know why Count Elio Lagoa, who had power comparable to the Grand Duke of Knauf in the Empire, let such a man who deserved to die live.
“Ah, is that enough to kill me?”
Marquis Reg Evans burst into laughter at the question of the naive Count Helio Lagoa.
“Ha ha ha! Did you ask if I could kill you? Great nobles kill even if they don’t like the look in their eyes. Even more so, if you cursed, there is nothing to say.”
“Wouldn’t it be a legal problem if I just killed someone like that?”
“What such naive words. The law is for those below us to follow. The great nobles enact and enforce laws, so who will hold the great nobles accountable?”
“and. It is an amazing world.”
Elio’s mouth fell open.
Is this world that is so damned the upper world?
At this moment, I wonder what the distinction between the upper world and the lower world means.
Marquis Reg Evans, perhaps thinking that his words were a little harsh, put on four legs.
“Of course, if you kill people too much, even the greatest nobles can get in trouble. Even so, insulting a great nobleman is a serious crime and deserves death.”
“You learn a lot today.”
“So what are you going to do with those sinners?”
Marquis Reg Evans looked at Count Helio Lagoa with curious eyes.
“They say there is a Baron Scott here, is that true?”
“Yes. Just in case, I captured Baron Scott and Baron Cotton, the sons-in-law of the Viscount Crow. Are Wayne Scott and Iza Crowe guilty of insulting the Earl of Lagoa by any chance?”
Marquis Reg Evans’s eyes twinkled.
There was no Viscount Crow’s family in Odessa, so he caught Baron Scott with the feeling that he was a chicken instead of a pheasant.
“That’s right. Those two couples took the lead in slandering me and my disciple. Call me a pervert who bought a little girl with money or something…”
“Huh! That’s enough, I won’t say anything even if I’m burned at the stake instead of hanging. Count Bert Ponce! did you hear Arrest felons immediately…”
“Wait a minute.”
Elio interrupted Marquis Reg Evans.
Marquis Reg Evans pushed Count Bert Ponce back when Count Helio Lagoa stepped forward.
“Because I’m not the kind of person who puts off my work to others.”
“ah! Excuse me. I was so excited that I crossed the line. Do what Count Lagoa wants.”
“Please call Baron Scott for now.”
Then, Marquis Reg Evans gave a chin gesture to Count Bert Ponce, the commander of the knights.
Count Bert Ponce, who had left the banquet hall, soon returned with an elderly man.
The elderly Baron Gryan Scott collapsed on the spot as soon as he saw Marquis Legg Evans.
“Marquis! Please save my life!”
The performance stopped at the cry of Baron Gryan Scott.
Wayne Scott, who belatedly found his father, hurriedly ran forward.
said Marquis Reg Evans, frowning in displeasure.
“Why do you ask me to save you after committing a crime against Count Lagoa?”
Baron Grean Scott turned his head to Count Helio Lagoa.
“Count Lagoa! Help me!”
Wayne Scott, who finally understood the situation, knelt down next to his father.
“Wrong! Forgive me!”
Elio looked down at Wayne Scott and turned to the passengers.
The corner of his mouth went up when he noticed the white Iza Crow.
After a while, Elio’s mouth opened.
“Baron Scott. What is the punishment for insulting a great noble in the Empire?”
“Depending on the severity of the crime, they are sentenced to imprisonment, forced labor, slavery, hanging, etc.”
“If someone called me a pervert and a scumbag, what kind of punishment should I punish?”
Baron Gryan Scott closed his eyes.
I heard about it from the knight commander on the way, but I didn’t know it was that much.
“…hanging.”
“Okay, an honest man. Who do you think should be hanged, Baron? Is it the baron who raised the wrong child? Or is it the son of the baron who insulted me?”
After hesitating for a while, Baron Gryan Scott answered with a crawling sound.
“…I think that as an adult, you deserve to be held accountable for your actions.”
“Isn’t the baron guilty of raising his child wrongly?”
Then Baron Gryan Scott raised his head.
“I had two sons and a daughter, but the others were brought up right.”
that it’s not your fault
Wayne Scott, who was lowering his head, looked at his father with resentful eyes.
Elio asked Wayne Scott this time.
“Wayne Scott. Whose fault do you think this is? Is it the baron’s fault for teaching you wrong? Or did the baron teach you well, but are you the only one perverse?”
“Isn’t it said that children are the mirror of their parents? It is my father who made me this way.”
That’s true.
Now, Wayne Scott was in a state of despair when his father told him to kill him.
Elio looked down at the two and said with a satisfied face.
“with pleasure. I’ve been thinking about how to deal with this problem, and they gave me a very good answer. Since the two marquises each claim that it is the other’s fault, it is clear that both of them have sinned.”
An awkward smile appeared on Marquis Reg Evans’ lips.
You said earlier that you shouldn’t kill people too much, but you’re going to kill the father and son.
“Do you want Count Herman to hang them both?”
“The hanging seems a bit excessive, and I want to enslave them both. If you become a slave, you won’t be able to slander or curse others, right?”
“A fine judgment! I was truly moved by Count Lagoa.”
When Marquis Reg Evans suddenly stood up and applauded, the nobles in the banquet hall clapped along.
After a while, when the applause died down, Marquis Legg Evans gave the order to the knight commander.
“Deprive criminals of titles and nobility, and list them as slaves in Odessa.”
“yes!”
Before long, Count Berthe Pons beckoned to the escort knights nearby.
Four knights approached and grabbed Baron Scott and his son by the arms and pulled them out.
When Marquis Reg Evans winked at the Bardos, the music resumed.
