Episode 1025. Did you say you would take revenge?
It was Baron Rolf Fritz’s mistake to sit in the corner, conscious of Elio.
If he had been sitting in the midst of the nobles, even a younger enemy would not have been able to openly quarrel with them.
However, Baron Rolf Fritz, who was far from the nobles, could not use his advantage at all.
“Eh Sir Elio?”
Confused, Baron Rolf Fritz looked around.
Fortunately, the nobles of Putokoa were not looking at them.
It’s partly because his position is in the corner, but it’s also because he hasn’t built a personal network yet since he was demoted not too long ago.
Elio, sitting down across from Baron Rolf Fritz, knew he didn’t have enough time and spoke straight.
“I should have warned you, but if you take out your anger on the savage tribes, they won’t let you go. By the way, they sent the ears of the savages from Putokoa to the treatment center?”
“That’s…”
“Do you know why I want to become a noble? It is to avenge the savages in a fair manner.”
“I was not involved in it. At that time, I was expelled from the Knights and transferred to the Yeongji Army. The Knight Commander sent me to the Goliath Company, which is said to be the most difficult, as if I wasn’t satisfied with that. I am a victim.”
Baron Rolf Fritz looked at Elio with regretful eyes.
It was only natural that he was kicked out of the Knights for being beaten by him and placed in the most difficult unit.
“Who killed the ‘mountain tribe’?”
Elio’s voice softened.
He’s emotional, but not so stupid that he doesn’t know who his enemies are.
“The Knight Commander selected 30 of the Griffin Knights. What they did.”
“The person who bought it is the eldest son of Count Putocoa? Am I right?”
“Right. The heir of Count Putocoa gave direct orders.”
Elio, who was shaking his head, suddenly asked.
“Did you properly convey my warning to the heir? I told you that I will retaliate if you touch the savage tribe.”
“I couldn’t tell you that. I couldn’t even open my mouth because of the sin of being beaten by a wild man. If you’ve participated in the gyeongdo noble meeting, wouldn’t you know? What could a criminal who was treated like an asshole in the Templars say? It wouldn’t have worked anyway.”
Elio stared intently at Baron Rolf Fritz.
It’s not that I don’t understand what he’s saying, but I’m angry.
It is because his irresponsibility will hinder his legitimate revenge against the Putokoa count family.
In this case, Count Putokoa could make an excuse that he had followed the custom because he did not know his warning.
There is a big difference between knowing and ignoring something and doing it because you didn’t know.
Baron Rolf Fritz was entirely responsible for leaving room for sympathy for Count Putocoa.
Thinking that far, Elio sharpened his teeth.
“Are you playing knights with such a trashy heart? Is it the chivalry of Putokoa that I can’t communicate properly because I’m scared? A pitiful bastard.”
Baron Rolf Fritz’s expression hardened at Elio’s sudden swearing.
He became a baron, and when he heard the sound of ‘Hirhera’s hero’ and was cursed at, he was ‘crying’ for a moment.
Elio said to the trembling Baron Rolf Fritz.
“why? is it insulting Then apply for a duel. If you’re scared of it, just quietly crouch like you did in front of the Putokoa nobles.”
“…”
When Baron Rolf Fritz’s face turned red, Baron Lower Adrian, who had gone to empty the tray, returned.
“Who are you?”
Baron Lower Adrian looked back and forth between the faces of Baron Rolf Fritz and the young knight.
He couldn’t believe the unusual atmosphere now.
A young knight who is immobilizing Baron Rolf Fritz, the ‘Hero of Hierhera’ and ‘Sword Beginner’?
“This is Elio. Who is that?”
“ah! Rift Knight? I am Baron Lore Adrian, Captain of the Hero Company. I’ve heard a lot about you By the way, what about the problem with Baron Rolf Fritz?”
“Ask the person concerned about that. Enough then.”
Elio greeted Baron Lower Adrian and turned around.
Baron Lower Adrian, who was watching Elio walk away with a bewildered face, said to Baron Rolf Fritz.
“Isn’t that a knight who hasn’t even received a title yet?”
“you’re right.”
“By the way, the way you speak is quite arrogant, isn’t it?”
“It must mean that you will receive a title soon.”
Baron Rolf Fritz drove in that direction.
This is because the relationship between himself and Elio is known and there is nothing to be honored with.
“Anyway, it is. Didn’t you say something harsh? Even though I’m a commoner, if I get a title, I’ll hit you.”
“For a ‘sword beginner’, his swordsmanship is quite good, so even Baron Adrian should avoid it.”
“You seem to know about him. Have you ever wrestled swords with him?”
“Unfortunately, I lost.”
“…”
Baron Lower Adrian’s mouth opened slightly at the shocking confession.
Baron Rolf Fritz’s swordsmanship was dazzling when catching the ‘Flame Hydra’.
So he lost to that young knight?
“I guess you weren’t feeling well that day? It must have been. You can’t lose with the swordsmanship I saw.”
Baron Rolf Fritz rose from his seat with a bitter face.
The words ‘If you look at Elio’s swordsmanship, you won’t be able to say that’ came up to his throat, but he swallowed it hard.
That’s because it’s not something you can know just because someone else is telling you.
After a while, the look in Baron Rolf Fritz’s eyes as he left the cafeteria barracks was grim.
‘Elio. I will return the feeling of humiliation I received.’
Meanwhile, as Elio holding the tray sat down in the seat of the Alpha Company knights, Fabian said.
“You have been patient. If you are going to fight, do it where there are no nobles.”
“Am I going to show off?”
“Are you going to challenge Baron Fritz to a duel?”
“why? Can’t we?”
“Even if you do, do it after the sealing process is over. When I heard the rumors, I heard about Yeongji. It’s better to take everything you get and fight.”
“A man can’t just calculate all of those things and then do that.”
“Eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyymmmmmmmmmmmm The salary of a knight is not much.”
“ah! that’s right. You have money problems.”
Elio nodded vigorously.
I forgot that you need money to live among people.
If you weren’t going to stay forever under Marquis Bernardo, you had better take measures to manage your finances as well.
This is because you can go anywhere in the empire only if you have money.
When I thought about going around, I suddenly thought of an airship.
“Aircraft must be expensive, right?”
“of course. We only have one in our kingdom. That’s what’s moored behind the Duke of Escatos’ quarters.”
“ah! How much?”
“I heard before that you can buy one Airship with ten years of royal treasury.”
“Then give up.”
I brushed off the existence of the airship in my head.
***
That evening.
Baron Rolf Fritz visited Viscount Colacio Keeper, the leader of the Griffin Knights.
Viscount Colacio Kiefer warmly welcomed the rising star’s visit.
“Howdy! Baron Fritz. Or should I call him ‘Hirhera’s hero’? What have you been up to here?”
“How have you been?”
“I am always like that. I regretted sending you to Goliath Company, but I’m glad it worked out. Now, it was not my intention to send you to the Goliath Company.”
He subtly pretended it was an order from his successor, Count Tobias Putocoa.
But Baron Rolf Fritz did not argue.
He didn’t care who it was who demoted him to the Goliath Company.
“It doesn’t matter anyway. Rather, viscount. It looks like there will be some problems.”
“problem? Are you saying that repair of cracks is slow? Or a sudden appearance of a monster?”
Like the leader of the Griffin Knights, his interest was in something a little more national.
Baron Rolf Fritz said with an embarrassed face.
“Didn’t the Gryphon Knights deal with a barbarian village in Putocoa before coming to Hiruhera?”
“If you’re talking about the ‘mountain tribe’, you don’t have to mind. Because there are no survivors left. Even if there are survivors, there is nothing a savage can do. Because the successor exercised his rightful right. Anyone can see that they are tax thieves.”
When the knight commander kept talking nonsense, Baron Rolf Fritz got to the point.
“The savage taken from the Marquis Bernardo has a grudge.”
“….”
Viscount Colacio Kiefer looked at Baron Rolf Fritz with bewildered eyes.
I don’t know what the problem is with that.
“Anyway, it’s like hitting a rock with an egg. What can a wild man do against Count Putokoa?”
“It’s not just a savage. Have you heard of the ‘Knight of the Rift’?”
“know. Aren’t they the articles that the Marquis Bernardo has been promoting these days? It is in response to that that we are pushing you. Why?”
“One of them, a knight named Elio… is that savage. Harvested by Marquis Bernardo himself.”
“Is Elio, who said he was awarded the title this time, that savage?”
“yes.”
After thinking for a while, the knight commander shrugged and asked.
“Does that matter?”
“It will be.”
“What problem? If you think that a baron can do anything about the county of Putokoa, you are mistaken.”
One corner of the knight commander’s mouth lifted slightly.
I don’t know why it’s called a problem when you can move the knights to deal with it if you’re really cumbersome.
“I said it because I thought he might seek revenge.”
“Tell me in detail.”
“He came to me during lunch today. Baron Lore Adrian witnessed it, check it out later. Here is the warning he gave when I visited him at Enarche’s clinic.”
“warning? Didn’t you say something like that?”
The leader of the knights, who had excellent political skills, drew the line first, just in case.
“I was suppressed by the atmosphere in the meeting room presided over by Tobias Putokoa, the rightful heir of Putokoa, but he warned me.”
Since Tobias Putokoa had not yet been recognized by Escatos IV, he used the expression ‘rightful successor’.
The knight commander gestured as if to continue talking.
“If you touch the savage tribe, retaliation will follow.”
“Is that starch?”
When the knight commander’s reaction did not live up to expectations, Baron Rolf Fritz came up with a more extreme expression.
“There are more. He also said that he would have to find a new successor if he harassed the savages of Count Putokoa for his work. He is a complete madman far from noble decency.”
As expected, the knight commander’s face hardened at once.
“Did he even mention the lord?”
“It is true. I can swear on the honor of a knight.”
“Where is such a madman…”
The knight commander’s eyes were shining brightly.
Knights cannot bear to see their lord insulted.
Even more, mentioning a new successor is beyond insult and treason.
“Did you stay still when you heard that? You should have cut his throat right away!”
“I’m sorry. I heard it right after losing the confrontation with him… I couldn’t deal with it properly.”
“Even though…. shit!”
In the end, curse words came out of the knight commander’s mouth.
Come to think of it, it was because of that that he sent the baron down to the Goliath Company.
“So you said you would take revenge?”
The Knight Commander looked at Baron Rolf Fritz with doubtful eyes.
No matter how much a savage’s sense of reality is lacking, would he not know the subject to that extent?
