Episode 1161. Under the command of a middle-aged man , a genius from the dukedom and a genius from the marquess,
the onlookers pulled out the two fallen people.
They were old and young.
One of the men watching the old man said to the middle-aged man.
“The old man is dead.”
“So what?”
When the middle-aged man shot him, the man hesitantly backed away.
Fortunately, the young man soon came to his senses.
The middle-aged man muttered, throwing a silver at the man with a broken arm.
“Stupid bastard. Are your ear canals blocked? If the wagon comes running, you have to avoid it.”
The young man with a broken arm picked up a silver coin that had fallen to the ground with his good arm and hurried away from his seat.
Meanwhile, the guards guarding the checkpoint approached.
A middle-aged man, Baron Keenan Geyer, shouted at them.
“If you saw the carriage coming, you should have cleared the road beforehand! Didn’t it only delay time because of you guys!”
It’s a far-fetched claim, but the guards prayed that they were wrong.
“I’ll let you go because I don’t have time, but if this happens again, I won’t forgive you.”
Baron Keenan Geyer, who had been harassing the guards, spoke patronizingly and turned around.
It is when he is about to climb into the carriage.
A disgruntled cry came from behind the line of people.
“hey! teacher! Can’t you see we’re waiting in line here? You’re not the only one busy, so let’s go in turn!”
What followed was more speculative.
“It’s not an eye, it’s a knothole. So even if you hit and kill someone, that’s the damn thing. Ayu! What is this world of bitches all about? Everywhere you go, there’s trash. People are worse than Kama Debias (Cheongjama) or Ushas Undra (Golden Snake). Shastra Parakti (Nine-Chun Hyeonnyeo)! Are you watching!”
“…”
Baron Keenan Geyer looked around.
At first, I was ‘crying’, but the moment I heard the names of the gods, I strangely calmed down.
This is because Kama Debias and Ushas Undra are by no means evil gods.
‘what? Are they crazy?’
No, maybe it’s a clown.
The stimulating and exaggerated tone was just like the conversation of clowns.
Before long, the eyes of the middle-aged Baron Keenan Geyer and Fabian met in the air.
“Teacher, go back when I say nice things. You can go 5 minutes early and go 50 years early.”
In an instant, Baron Keenan Geyer knew that his opponent was a knight, not a clown.
The quadrupedal chariot and the knight.
There was a high probability that it was a knight related to a great nobleman.
‘Which family are they from?’
Baron Keenan Geyer leaned back and looked at the other carriage door.
Unfortunately, the pattern of nobility was not engraved.
If so, it means that the wagon was pulled out as soon as it was purchased or rented temporarily.
‘Even though I revealed the family of Count Paganus, it’s like that…’
Count Paganus has great power in the Principality of Aragon.
Furthermore, the lord of Espana, where the checkpoint is located, is Viscount Bernburg, the right-hand man of Count Paganus.
No matter how much I thought about it, I had no reason to be fooled.
So he gestured for the remaining guards.
Two guards came running hastily.
“Yes, Baron.”
“That wagon is suspicious. Let’s find out who’s riding it.”
Baron Keenan Geyer pointed at the wagon carrying the mysterious knight.
“yes!”
Whose name would you defy!
The two guards immediately approached the quadruped carriage standing at the rear.
One of them pulled his head out of the window and asked a young knight watching.
“Who are you from?”
Even if you look at it, it was not a normal person’s clothes, so the guard’s sword was polite.
“ha! I am Baron Fabian Cloud of Northern Slash Land.”
“Do you have anything to prove your identity?”
Fabian took out the title certificate and handed it over.
Because of frequent use, the folds of the certificate were tattered.
The guard who checked the certificate asked again.
“Who are your companions?”
“This is Count Larva Omar of the Northern Baylem Kingdom and Viscount Elio Lagoa, the lord of Slash Land. Don’t bother and go.”
As Fabian glared at him, the guard returned the certificate and ran to Baron Keenan Geyer.
“Baron, the young knight is the baron of Northern Slashland. The people accompanying him are the counts and viscounts of the north.”
For an instant, the corner of Baron Keenan Geyer’s mouth went up.
I wondered what kind of great status it was, but it was a northern aristocrat.
‘Should I arrest you as a spy?’ I thought about it, but it seemed difficult.
It was because the checkpoint staff could not handle it unless the titles inherited from the Count and Viscount.
However, my pride did not allow me to brush it off as something that hadn’t happened.
“Just in case, make sure to do an internal search. It could be impure elements related to the southern kingdom.”
It is a great insult to inspect the wagon of a great nobleman.
Even so, he wanted to trick his opponent.
The guards were in a state of war and did not question Baron Keenan Geyer’s words.
“All right.”
The guard, who returned to the carriages of the northern nobles, spoke to Baron Fabian Cloud.
“Please cooperate so that I can investigate the inside of the baron’s carriage.”
Fabian, who was glaring at the middle-aged nobleman who cut in line, stepped out of the carriage.
“Hey guard.”
“yes?”
“Who is that man with dog oil running down his face?”
“This is Baron Keenan Geyer of the Paganus count family.”
“A little while ago, the carriage he rode hit and killed a man. Did you see it?”
“I didn’t see it.”
The guards did not want to get entangled in the complicated nobles’ quarrels, so they withdrew.
“You didn’t see it? Everyone here is a witness. Baron Keenan Geyer’s carriage ran over and killed a man. Why not arrest them?”
“That’s…”
The guard rolled his eyes here and there, unable to find an appropriate answer.
Baron Keenan Geyer, who was worse off, moved to the northern nobleman’s carriage.
“Imperial nobles have immunity from accidents in the course of their official duties. But why do northern nobles interrogate the imperial soldiers? Do you, like the southern kingdoms, challenge the authority of the Empire?”
Fabian hesitated for a moment at the counterattack of the seasoned Baron Keenan Geyer.
Then Elio, who was in the carriage, spoke.
“Hey Baron. It’s impunity, it’s fucking, it’s all good, but don’t intervene in front of me. I’m very busy, but I’m waiting in line?”
Baron Keenan Geyer, taken aback by the sudden insult, glared at the carriage.
“Who was the one who cursed at the baron of Count Paganus in the Espana estate?”
“You don’t even deserve to know my name. I’ll see if it’s immunity. Pull the wagon back. Otherwise, I will wreck the wagon.”
Baron Keenan Geyer, who was gritting his teeth, shot the guards.
But the guards did not come forward.
What if Baron Keenan Geyer was their direct superior?
It’s not even that, but the opponent’s title was too high to participate.
Counts and Viscounts – no matter how noble they were in the north – were not targets that the common guards could stare at.
But in the end, Baron Keenan Geyer did not pull out the carriage.
It was because doing so in Espana would lose the face of Count Paganus.
He thought that no one would dare touch the carriage of Count Paganus.
In the Duchy of Aragon, the Paganus family was in that position.
“joy!”
Baron Keenan Geyer sneered and turned away.
After a while, when Baron Keenan Geyer returned, the coachman of Count Paganus asked.
“What should I do, Baron?”
“Let’s go.”
After that, he got on the carriage as if showing off.
It’s when he puts his ass on the velvet-covered coach seat.
Suddenly ‘Boom!’ The wagon was smashed with the sound of an explosion.
People ran away with screams, and the guards at the checkpoint rushed in.
Baron Keenan Geyer blinked blankly.
Seeing the fragments of the wagon shattered, his heart ached and anger surged up.
‘A madman…’
to destroy the carriage of the real Count Paganus!
It had just happened to him, but he couldn’t believe it.
The coachman staggered towards him as he sat idly.
“Baron? Are you okay?”
Only then did Baron Keenan Geyer rise from his seat and quickly turn around.
The quadruped carriages of the northern nobility were nowhere to be seen.
He shouted at the guard standing nearby.
“What about the wagons of the northerners?”
“I just passed through a checkpoint. But what happened? Why did the carriage suddenly become like that?”
“Didn’t you see?”
“yes?”
When the guard asked back, Baron Keenan Geyer quickly changed the question.
“no. Where did the northern nobles say they were going?”
“It was called the Duchy of Loren.”
“Bring the horses!”
“yes!”
A guard rushed to the checkpoint and pulled a trooper.
As soon as Baron Keenan Geyer mounted his horse, he ran like the wind toward Count Paganus.
***
Duchy of Aragon.
Countess of Paganus.
“Did you say that the nobles of the north destroyed my carriage?”
Count Cardinal Paganus looked at Baron Keenan Geyer with bewildered eyes.
The Principality of Aragorn is one of the most powerful countries in the Empire.
There were two sword masters in the Duchy of Aragon, and one of them was Count Cardinal Paganus, who was called the ‘sword of red flame’.
Baron Keenan Geyer reported what happened at the checkpoint in the Espana estate.
“…At that time, a noble from the north who was in the wagon said he would destroy the wagon. Immediately after that, the carriage was crushed with an explosion.”
“Did you say Earl Omar of Larva and Viscount Helio Lagoa of Baylem?”
“That’s right.”
“Hmm!”
A quiet voice flowed from the mouth of Count Cardinal Paganus.
Of course, this is what happened when the 2nd convocation order fell!
However, he could not leave the reputation of the count family and go to the south.
He immediately summoned his knights and pursued the northern nobles.
***
Inside the running quadruped.
Count Larva Omar, who was looking out the window, spoke in a nonchalant tone.
“Count Paganus will not stand still.”
“Do you know someone?”
Elio glanced at the Count.
“I’ve never met him in person, but I know who he is.”
“Are you that famous?”
“Earl Cardinal Paganus is called the ‘Sword of the Crimson Flame’ and is known as one of the seven pillars of the Empire.”
“Crimson Sword? Does the longsword glow red?”
“He is the one who became a sword master as a magic swordsman.”
“oh! A magic swordsman?”
An exclamation escaped Elio’s lips.
Even if you concentrate on one thing, it is difficult to achieve greatness, but a sword master who has mastered magic! It deserves to be called the pillar that supports the empire.
Fabian also looked at Viscount Helio Lagoa and Count Larva Omar with interest.
I didn’t think that Viscount Helio Lagoa would lose, but my heart was pounding for some reason that my opponent was a magician who had reached the rank of Sword Master.
“The way you fight will be different from other sword masters.”
“How many circles did you climb?”
“You have to pass at least 4 circles to hear the magic swordsman.”
It’s more than 4 circles.
“Wow! Climbing to the 4th circle won’t be easy… You seem to be a real genius unlike anyone else?”
Then Fabian spoke as if making excuses.
“I am a genius too. If Count Paganus is a genius of the Principality of Aragon, consider me a genius of the Marquis (Anatolia).”
