Episode 1181. If there is a god, he will punish you.
Delos shuddered for a moment from the impact of falling into the sea, but soon recovered his senses and went back to his cabin.
Elio moved back to the foremost mast and stared at the sea.
Waves the size of a house hit the deck several times, but he didn’t budge.
Sailors clucked their tongues at the sight of humans fighting the storm.
It was also different from running on the sea and breaking a pirate ship in two.
The appearance of not yielding to Mother Nature was enough to feel awe.
It was the weather change that he had hoped so much for, but Elio’s expression was not good.
Shoot aaaaaaaaaaa!
Wheein-!
It was raining and the waves were high, but that was all.
In the morning, the storm that had been raging all night suddenly disappeared like a lie.
Sailors came out to the deck one by one and checked the mast and ropes.
Fabian and Count Omar of Larva approached Elio, who was standing on the prow with a hollow expression.
Count Omar of Larva stood side by side with him and turned his gaze to the sea.
“Lord Lagoa, we will look into it, so go in and close your eyes.”
“Is there really a sky star in this sea?”
“Believe the human record.”
Fabian also helped with a word.
“you’re right. Aren’t wizards as accurate as one record?”
Elio, who had been staring at the sea in silence, turned around.
“Then please. Wake me up if you see anything.”
After speaking, Elio trudged to the cabin.
The sailors who saw Elio stopped what they were doing and folded their backs.
Around lunchtime, Wright went up to Top Castle.
When the next worker came up, Milo got up and stretched.
“Aww! After squatting for 8 hours, my socks hurt. The deck looks nice, doesn’t it? I see you came on time.”
“The Viscount is sleeping.”
“How did you do yesterday? Did you decide not to sleep?”
“I was lucky. I fell asleep and opened my eyes for a moment and saw a dark cloud.”
“Poo-wow! i envy you. Someone sleeps and wakes up to see all that. I never blinked, but when something appears, I scream.”
Milo shook his head and left the top castle.
Left alone, Light strained his eyes and looked around.
Even if you are a fool, you have to look at your opponent and hit them.
After yesterday’s storm, the idea of ‘fooling the eyes of the northern nobility’ was gone.
***
Fiestra estate.
Hades port.
Tavern sea breeze.
After the task force entered the cabin, the general public refrained from entering the sea breeze.
Then, after William’s incident, the sea breeze became forbidden.
The task force rather liked that the accommodation was less crowded.
From some time ago, the sea breeze was known as the residence and office of the special task force.
After lunch, Marquis Gosling Knauf drank tea leisurely while looking out the window.
Looking at the empty pier and the deep blue sky, I felt a sense of loneliness.
Maybe that’s why I remembered Benzel more.
But she hadn’t even been to the port since William’s arrest.
It’s funny being human.
If you look at it naked, they’re all the same, but I’m more obsessed with people who say they don’t like me.
Even knowing that, he couldn’t break his obsession with Benzel.
As if he was addicted to it, he constantly craved her.
‘She’s a woman you won’t understand.’
I don’t know why it bounces like this when any woman just stretched out her hand and it came over.
He was sitting there with a confused face, but when he heard footsteps, he turned his head.
Countess Keitha Coldwall was approaching.
“Your Excellency Benzel refused.”
“You mean you did that even though I said you could just meet me?”
“That’s right.”
“That is a bit harsh. A colleague was arrested because of him, but he refuses to even negotiate.”
“Maybe it’s because I don’t believe William can die.”
“okay? You innocent girl. What did the knight commander say?”
“I keep persuading him, but now he won’t even listen.”
“How long has it been since you arrested William?”
“Today is three days.”
“Will there be any problems with carrying out the sentence later?”
“doesn’t exist. We have secured witnesses as well as recorded their testimonies.”
“Announce the hanging at noon tomorrow.”
“All right.”
“And did you say that Benzel went in and out of the port manager’s house?”
“Yes, I taught the swordsmanship of the manager’s son.”
“Check him out. Because there is no one who does not come out dust by shaking it off. Something will come out.”
“Are you planning on arresting those related to Benzel?”
“You have to put so much pressure on it. I can’t take a woman by force, can I?”
“Even if His Excellency takes the benzel by force, no one will say anything.”
Wouldn’t he know if Benzel was an aristocrat?
There was no one who would criticize her for being drunk by a great aristocrat, the Marquis Gosling Knauf.
Or rather, most aristocrats would say, ‘Benzel got lucky’.
“I do not take women by force. As a member of the Grand Duke of Knauf, I cannot do such a dishonorable thing.”
“All right. I’m going to rob the manager and put him in. By the way, the nobles of the north.”
“why? What’s wrong?”
“According to the recently received information, some suspicious parts have been found in the activities of Viscount Elio Lagoa and Baron Fabian Cloud.”
“Suspicious?”
“There is an intelligence that the two went over to Tamion right after the war with the demon legion.”
“I would have done some reconnaissance.”
“It is not. At that time, the two left Yeongji-gun to catch the mastermind behind the black magician. In fact, the two of them never met again with the Hirhera Garrison troops after that.”
“By the way, did you go to Tamion?”
“Yes, it turned out to have been in Tamion for more than ten days.”
“It’s strange, it’s strange. What did the northern kingdom say?”
“They guessed that he had been checking the dynamics before leaving. However, he who killed the demon lords stayed in Tamion for a long time… Isn’t it strange?”
“What is strange about it?”
“I suspect two things.”
“Two of them?”
“The first is that he may not have really killed the demon lord. He may have conspired with the demon lords and disguised his death.”
Then Marquis Gosling Knauf shook his head at once.
“To do that, we need to go through sufficient discussions with the demon lords, but that’s impossible. The Hirhera Garrison is narrow and there are many eyes to see, so it would not have been possible to leave.”
Countess Keitha Coldwall continued without retorting.
“The second is the possibility that he came from Tameion doing something secretly.”
“I must have looked around the situation.”
“If he really killed the demon lords… isn’t there no lord in that area?”
“so? Did he secretly get Tameyon into his hands?”
“Isn’t that not at all unlikely?”
“What are you going to use the land of Tamion for?”
“Couldn’t there be something of value there too?”
“You have too many doubts. I’m sure it happened because I’m in the inspection department… but in moderation. Rather, dig the estate of Count Omar of Larva.”
“Count Omar?”
“Isn’t Count Omar paying the expenses for Viscount Lagoa’s party? I mean, find out how long the count can cover the cost.”
“Why?”
“If that Magnum Ops really went back to the Celestial Star.
“But there is still no clear evidence that he went to Celestial Star…”
“Do you think someone like Count Omar and Viscount Lagoa are clinging to disinformation? Let’s trust the judgment of those who know the most about warlocks. Isn’t there a saying ‘the closer the enemy is, the closer you are’?”
“Do you intend to support their exploration expenses?”
“There’s nothing I can’t do.”
“All right.”
Countess Keitha Coldwall responded calmly.
I don’t know anything else, but I liked the saying ‘the closer the enemy is, the closer you are’.
That day, Count Keitha Coldwall announced William’s hanging on the harbor bulletin board.
The hopeless knights turned upside down.
The commander of the knights, Viscount Camilo Cusman, immediately went to Count Viator Bellanus.
“Your lord, Countess Kaysa Coldwall, announced William’s hanging. Lord, please step in and stop it. We must not let William die like this.”
“I tried, but to no avail. Do you know what the Marquis of Knauf wants? Only Benzel can solve this.”
“But Benzel won’t let me even mention the name of the Marquis.”
“I don’t understand why you refuse the favor of the Marquis of Knauf.”
“Maybe it’s because of the rebellion against me.”
“It’s not okay to refuse a job where a fellow knight’s life was at stake, just out of rebellion. Convince Benzel. Because only Benzel can overturn the task force’s decision.”
“No matter what I say, I won’t listen.”
“If William dies, I will also revoke Benzel’s knighthood. I think that’s the least courtesy for the dead William.”
“Still, I won’t go to Marquis Knauf.”
“You are boring. It resembles things that don’t have to be similar.”
Count Viator Bellanus glanced at the knight commander.
Once he made a decision, there was no turning back. It was the same when he parted with the forest keeper’s daughter.
next day.
Security guards roamed the harbor, calling people to the center of the pier.
The captain of the knights summoned all the knights to the pier in an unusual way.
Residents of Hades and Knights of the Security Guard filled the center of the pier.
Foul criminals have often been put to the gallows, but the lord’s knight is the first.
Citizens who knew why William had been arrested kept their mouths shut and watched with pity.
Camilo Kusman Knight Commander moved the Knights to the front.
It is to press Benzel until the end.
At noon, blindfolded William was led out to the gallows.
A member of the task force read William’s name before the gallows.
Benzel did not take his eyes off William.
It was as if he was trying to engrave William’s end in his head.
After reading the crime, the special task force knight’s gaze turned to Benzel, who stood in the forefront.
It’s like, ‘Will you survive this?’ seemed to ask
Suddenly, William, who had been standing still, shouted.
“Benzel! help me! I don’t want to die! Please save me! Benzel! Benziel—!”
But in the end, Benzel did not move.
The special task force driver who had been watching her like that muttered with a tired face.
“Bad bitch.”
The task force driver shook his head and waved to the executioner.
As the executioner pulled the lever with all his might, the bottom of William’s field ‘rattled!’ opened with a sound.
As the rope was pulled tight, William’s body twitched several times before stopping.
After the execution of the sentence, the security forces dispersed the citizens.
The Templars all disappeared before I knew it, and only Benzel was left in front of the gallows.
With empty eyes, Benzel watched the mortician collect the corpse.
After a while, even the undertaker left with the body in a wagon.
Viscount Colin Mescal, a staff member of the task force, approached her as she stood in awe.
“Is your pride more important than the life of a young and upright knight?”
“…”
She didn’t answer.
His mind was confused, and now he couldn’t even figure out why he was standing here.
“Soon Gibson Cannon will be arrested. I’ve been taking bribes here and there. His son’s admission to the academy will also be revoked. If his property is confiscated, he will not be able to attend anyway.”
Benzel, who came to his senses belatedly, said one word with strength.
“If there is a God, he will punish you.”
