Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1237. Are you making fun of me for being a savage?

ten years ago.

Principality of Topla.

The Marquis of Truman Solon.

Tynelock, a knight of the Griffin Knights, rushed after receiving a call from Baron Sein Sherwood, the head of the Knights.

“Did you call? Baron.”

“Yes, Tynlock. It’s been three years since you joined the Knights, right?”

“That’s right.”

“It was a lot of hard work during that time. Because of his background, it must have been difficult for him to get along with the other knights.”

“no.”

Tinelock looked at the knights butler.

There are no rumors that the number of members of the Knights Templar is being reduced, and he is one of the best sword beginners in the Knights, so there is nothing to be pointed out, but I don’t know what is going on.

I don’t know what it was, but it felt cheap.

just as expected?

“Today, the second, Prince Howard, had a coming-of-age ceremony. It means that you are no longer a child, but an adult. Therefore, the time came when he needed a knight to guard him by his side. The Knight Commander told me to send a talented knight, even though Prince Howard is the second son of the Marquis. The moment I heard the words of the knight commander, your face came to mind. Pack your personal equipment and go to the inner guard.”

“Are you telling me to leave the Knights?”

“Can it be? A talented knight like you shouldn’t be neglected like that. If interest in Prince Howard fades, I will replace it with an appropriate article. Just wait a year.”

“All right.”

Tynlock left with the hope of returning to the Knights.

noon that day.

Reassigned as an escort, Tynelock went to see Howard Solon.

“hello? I am Tynelock, who has been entrusted with Sir Howard’s escort as of today.”

Howard Solon looked at the giant knight with curious eyes.

“Tynelock? Your name is unique. Where is your hometown?”

“The Knuckles Mountains.”

“The unexplored land in the eastern part of the principality?”

“That’s right.”

“Are you a savage?”

“yes.”

“Is it really Small Gigas?”

The savages living in the unexplored lands at the eastern end of the Principality of Toplar were called ‘Small Gigas’ because of their large size.

It was a nickname that was close to ridicule because Small was added to Gigas, which means giant.

“you’re right.”

Tynelock stared at Howard Solon with eyes saying what to do.

The second, he could not inherit the title, because he was nothing more than a bright apricot.

“Looking at the look in your eyes, you don’t like being my escort? Is it because I’m second?”

“…”

Tinelock neither affirmed nor denied.

He had no intention of currying the person who mocked him as ‘Small Gigas’.

He plans to become a mercenary once he is kicked out of the marquis family.

“Because I am a savage, I do not hide my feelings. It’s better than people who smile on the outside and sharpen their knives on the inside. okay. Let’s get along.”

Despite Tynelock’s somewhat rogue attitude, Howard Solon did not reject him.

The voice of Howard Solon was heard in the ears of Tynelock, who was relieved inside.

“But you know what? You are a message sent to me by the nobles who follow my brother. We both got fucked.”

‘no. Only you, the second one, were fucked.’

Tynlock believed in Baron Sherwood’s promise.

No, it is more accurate to say that he believed in his talent as a prosecutor.

There was no way that Baron Sherwood, who was an excellent swordsman like himself, would give up!

Thus, Tynelock spent many years by Howard Solon’s side.

But even after a year as promised, Baron Sein Sherwood did not call him.

It took about three years for Tynlock to realize that he had been completely expelled from the Order.

To the Knights of Griffin, the face of the Marquis of Solon, the savage was ‘out of the box’.

***

Current.

As Tynlock sat down, Count Larva Omar glanced at him.

His expression is as grave as usual, but the atmosphere has changed.

Just a little while ago, it seemed like it was there as an escort, but now it seems like it will explode if you touch it.

Count Omar of Larva knew that he was hiding his status.

If you have that much momentum, you are at the end of the barbaric sword expert.

Even if he was a mana user, a sword beginner would not be able to compete with him.

‘It’s a waste.’

If he had been blessed with mana, he could have become a true sword master.

However, in terms of mana users, the savage Sword Master was only better than the Sword Beginner.

He would be better than ordinary sword beginners, but at least he was below a sword expert.

From the Sword Master onwards, he is a superhuman.

No matter how flying and creeping a swordsman Tinelock was – as long as he was a Reiki practitioner – it would be difficult for him to join the ranks of superhumans.

Count Helio Lagoa is out of the rules.

At that time, Tynelock felt the adventurer’s gaze and opened his mouth.

“If you have something to say, say it.”

“Looking at the momentum you were hiding, you seem to be breaking up with Baron Solon, right?”

For a moment, Tynlock’s eyes turned strange.

A test enough to notice that subtle difference?

Perhaps the opponent is a better knight than he had imagined.

“I don’t know about that yet, but it is true that we are no longer in the same relationship as before.”

A bitter smile appeared on Tynlock’s face.

With today’s incident, the label of being an escort for Baron Howard Solon naturally fell off.

He devoted thirteen years to the Marquis of Solon, but instead of success, he became the target of slaughter.

He expected that the day would come when he would break up with the Marquis of Solon when he was not called by the Knights, but it wasn’t like this.

The carriage started when Count Omar of Larva gave a slight nod.

“What did the mercenaries who pretended to be robbers decide to do?”

“I decided to just let it go. You can’t blame the Marquis Solon family, and you have to hand it over to the police, but it’s like advertising Baron Solon.”

Fabian, who was listening in the back seat (third class), whispered to Count Elio Lagoa next to him.

“People with power are proud even when they commit sins.”

“It can’t be helped.”

In this case, it was related to the succession of the title, so it is no exaggeration to say that it was a civil war.

It is difficult to judge whether an assassination in a civil war is a success or a failure.

When the adventurers in the back seat mentioned the Marquess of Solon, Baron Howard Solon slightly raised his voice.

“I am sorry for the inconvenience, but it is a sin to talk about the great nobles without permission. So if you don’t want to see the police station, please keep your mouth shut.”

Then Elio poked Fabian in the side and whispered.

“Hey, be quiet. I can’t go to the police station again.”

“Yes yes.”

When Baron Howard Solon clenched his fist at the reaction of the adventurers, Crea quickly changed the subject.

“What are you going to do next? It must be difficult to charter a carriage, right?”

Not too long ago, Baron Howard Solon had offered to ride a chartered carriage in the Duchy of Topla.

All of these were said with the support of the Marquis of Solon in mind.

But now, the Marquis of Solon is aiming for his life, so he has to avoid it.

I couldn’t go to Daesoorim without worrying about money like before.

Then Baron Howard Solon, who was clenching his teeth, spoke in a calm tone.

“The money is tight, but traveling with me is dangerous. Do you still intend to accompany me? I want you to find other comrades in the Principality of Toplar. Not the adventurers who come and go to the police station, but more proper adventurers.”

Baron Howard Solon subtly revealed his uncomfortable planting.

“Could it be like that again in the Marquis of Solon? If the baron keeps his distance, it will fade on its own.”

“If you don’t fade away, you might really die next time.”

“What are we doing? We will be able to overcome it again like this time.”

“Even charter wagons are difficult. We will have to use a wagon to the Great Forest.”

“are you okay. Caravans are faster to pass through checkpoints.”

Crea made it clear that she had no intention of breaking up with him.

When she revealed her thoughts, Baron Howard Solon did not push back any further.

There are things that I have affection for, but it is because going to the Great Forest alone is truly dangerous.

Crea glanced back at the back seat (second class).

Just in time, the eyes of Tynlock and Crea, who were looking at the front, met.

Crea, who hesitated as if to say something, turned her head again with a soft sigh.

It would be reassuring if Tine Lock went with him, but that was a matter for him to choose.

After the raid of the mercenaries, Tynelock kept a reasonable distance from Baron Solon.

They still went together, but they didn’t follow Baron Solon like a shadow.

Instead, he had frequent conversations with the old adventurer next to him.

On the verge of joining the Sword Master, he was instinctively drawn to the old adventurer.

When the carriage took a break, it circled around the old adventurer.

***

About ten days later, the carriage finally crossed the border of the Principality of Topla.

It was two days from the border to Pneuma, the capital of the principality, so we were almost at our destination.

around 3pm.

The carriage stopped on the side of the road to give the tired horses a rest.

Tynlock, who had been thinking hard about something since the morning, visited the old adventurers.

“Adventurer. I would like to ask you to take a moment.”

Count Omar of Larva saw not him, but Baron Elio Lagoa.

Elio shrugged his shoulders as if he didn’t know what he was talking about.

In the end, I have no choice but to meet and hear it in person.

“I will come and talk for a while.”

Count Larva Omar rose from his seat and followed Tynlock.

Tinelock veered off the road and went deep into the thick forest.

The weather in the Principality of Toplar, bordering the southern kingdom, was like summer, and the green was lush.

Tynlock found a large clearing in the middle of the forest and slowly turned around.

“I would like to formally greet you. I call it Tinelock. As you may know from the name, this is a knight from a savage. It’s been many years since I reached the limit of my swordsmanship, but I haven’t met a significant opportunity yet.”

As his explanation lengthened, Count Larva Omar cut off his words.

“Do you want to fight with me?”

“That’s right. Please don’t be rude and teach your junior adventurer a lesson.”

He emphasized that he was an adventurer, fearing that his opponent would ignore him because he was from a savage.

Earl Larva Omar, who was staring at him, smiled and asked again.

“Why me?”

“That’s because the elder is the strongest. Even though I am a savage, my swordsmanship is close to that of a sword expert.”

“I know. Even if you can’t do it, it looks like you’ve become a sword expert beginner. If you had received the blessing of Mana, the Marquis of Solon would not have abandoned you.”

“I would like you to stop mentioning the Marquis of Solon. Could you give me some guidance?”

“Whoops! You lack insight.”

Tynelock frowned at the old adventurer’s words.

When I asked the strongest person to teach me a trick, he said he lacked discernment.

“What are you talking about?”

“They say I looked the strongest.”

“Are there any stronger prosecutors than the elderly among the stagecoach passengers?”

“Yes.”

“It can’t be. Except for the wagon we rode in, there are no passengers who have honed their swordsmanship.”

“That makes sense.”

“The two young men in third class are weaker than the elders.”

“That’s why you say you lack insight. I can’t even get a single sword from one of them.”

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

Tynelock, who thought he was being harassed, glared at the old adventurer as if he were going to eat him.
