Episode 1176. Around noon , a law of nature that is stronger than high and
low ranks.
The top castle watcher and deckhand light went up to the top castle in the upper part of the main sail.
“Hey Milo. Can you see anything?”
Then, Milo, who had been up at Top Castle since dawn, replied with a sullen face.
“doesn’t exist. There shouldn’t be.”
“Kuuuu! can’t you? Northern nobles, don’t be pissed off. I heard there were sailors who got beaten up for shaving their mouths in front of nobles before.”
“Things that don’t notice are cheap even if they are right. How’s the mood on the deck? Is the pressure low today?”
“Hey hey, don’t talk. Everyone is not breathing deeply because they are noticing Viscount Lagoa. Do you think I would have come up an hour early?”
Even though the light came up, Milo didn’t go down right away.
It was also because the top castle was more comfortable than watching from the deck.
“Nobles don’t understand. You don’t know what you’re doing in search of the sky.”
“All they have left is time. It’s a thank you nonetheless. Look, there were no such people. We have to be netting.”
“but. By the way, it’s nice to just observe on three shifts a day, but it’s so boring. Now, just looking at the sea makes me sick.”
“You have to do your best.”
“What tips do you have for watching?”
Then Light lowered his voice and spoke in a whisper.
“Even if I sit here and doze off for a while, I don’t know below. I’ve been sleeping well since yesterday.”
“crazy. Then what appeared, but you can’t see it? You get fucked up after that.”
“Didn’t you hear the rumors? There is a sword master among the northern nobility. The pirates near the Sea of Demons have moved to another place. Have you seen a ship the past few days? doesn’t exist. Said he was dry.”
“Anyway, I don’t think I’m sleeping. cadet! Just thinking about it gives me chills.”
“You can’t sleep for a long time. That’s why I told you to do it. wait a minute it’s okay Good time.”
“I have a small liver, so I can’t do that. Just hearing the words makes my heart race. I’m going down.”
Milo, who suddenly felt burdened by Light, got up and crawled downstairs.
When Milo disappeared, Light muttered with a pitiful look on his face.
“Aww, you little bastard. That’s why you’re so skinny.”
Then he leaned back on the mainsail and gazed out into the distance.
‘Speak the devil and he will appear’, then a fishing boat appeared on the horizon.
He jumped up and was about to shout downwards, ‘Ah!’ Then he sat down on the road.
It was belatedly said that ‘you don’t have to inform about fishing boats and merchant ships’.
The northern nobles told them to notify them if they found ‘signs of abnormal weather’ or ‘an island or artificial structure that had not been seen before’.
There are no islands in the Sea of Demons.
There are no islands, so of course there are no man-made structures.
From the standpoint of the watchman, this was like playing and eating.
***
Fiestra.
Hades port.
5pm.
Crossing the center of the port, a blonde haired female knight stopped in front of the port manager’s mansion.
He is the Benzel of the Boris Knights.
When she knocked on the door of the mansion, a Gibson Cannon came out as if she had been waiting.
“Sir Benzel?”
“yes.”
“Come inside. I was waiting for you anyway.”
Before long, Gibson Cannon threw the door wide open, as if inviting him in.
Benjel, who entered the house with him, peeked into the living room.
Like a successful Ramus, the living room was gorgeous.
“Please sit down for a moment.”
Gibson Cannon pointed at the leather sofa.
As Benzel sat down on the sofa, the Gibson Cannon sat across from her.
“I heard the rough story from Baron Pluty. I heard that you will teach my child for an hour every day. Is that true?”
“yes.”
“The honor fee is 10 silver a month?”
Benzel couldn’t help but sue inwardly.
I didn’t know that Baron Tais Pluty would even set the training time and pay.
“yes that’s right.”
“I told the baron, but I can’t teach for a long time. In the spring, the eldest child has to enter the knight academy.”
“I will know that.”
Benzel nodded.
Since it is now October, there are still five months left before spring.
I don’t know how long the northern nobles will stay in Hades Port, but if they remain even then, you can find another way.
When the story was somewhat finished, Gibson Cannon stood up.
“Please wait a moment. I will bring Jacob.”
As Gibson Cannon moved away, Benzel turned his gaze to the living room window.
Like the management manager’s mansion, the center of the port came into view at a glance.
Suddenly, ‘Can I do it well?’ I thought.
I was a little worried, but to get a title, you have to make outstanding achievements.
The greater the risk, the greater the benefit.
As she clenched her fists, Gibson Cannon returned with her 12-year-old son, Jacob.
Benzel said goodbye to Jacob and left the port manager’s house.
The street where the security forces and knights withdrew was strangely unfamiliar.
Even though I walked around the streets until yesterday, it was as if I was looking at the land of a foreign country.
She naturally headed for the tavern in the center of the harbor.
Looking at the signboard saying ‘Sea Breeze’ reminded me of the northern nobles I met a few days ago.
Laughing, she went into the sea breeze and sat down.
As usual, Shelly trotted up, and she ordered a beer and snacks.
“By the way, I couldn’t see the knights today? what happened?”
“Ah, I’m training in the inner sanctuary.”
“There were rumors that the Knights were dispatched to the battlefield, is that true?”
Benzel looked up at Sally with bewildered eyes.
“Who is it?”
“It was the guests rather than anyone.”
“no. Where are the knights going to protect Hades Port? Wouldn’t it be unaware if the Southern Kingdom’s forces were pushed all the way to the border?”
“aha! It must have been a rumor.”
Celie, who was exclaiming, bent down and whispered to Benzel.
“Today, the knights from Jedo have rented all the remaining rooms. But your expression is too cold. Our eyes met by chance and I got goosebumps. Ugh.”
Shelly shuddered as if the thought of it was terrifying and went back to the kitchen.
The head of the task force, Countess Kaysa Coldwall, knocked cautiously on the door.
“Who are you?”
A slightly drowsy middle-aged man’s voice came from the other side of the door.
Even though the opponent was out of sight, Count Keisa Coldwall, the sword master and the commander of the task force, straightened her posture and replied.
“I am Count Coldwall. Would you like to have dinner now?”
“Wait.”
“yes.”
After a while, a middle-aged knight opened the door and came out.
Upon meeting his eyes, Countess Kaysa Coldwall showed her silence.
Nodding his head, Marquis Gosling Knauf passed Count Keitha Coldwall.
After a while, the two went down to the first floor of the tavern.
The eyes of Marquis Gosling Knauf, who was looking around the room with a bored face, shone for a moment.
It was because a rare blonde beauty was sitting in the window seat.
Without hesitation, he walked in front of the beauty.
When someone approached, Benzel inadvertently raised his head and looked at the other person.
For an instant, her eyes flickered.
I wasn’t surprised because it was a special task force, but because the opponent seemed too high-ranking.
“What are you doing?”
“Ohh. Judging by the way he speaks, he must be a knight. Am I right?”
“The clothes I am wearing are also the conquests of the Boris Knights.”
“The Knights of Boris?”
As he muttered, Countess Kaysa Coldwall spoke from behind.
“His Excellency Boris Knights are the Knights of Count Belanus. Who the hell are you? The Templars have withdrawn from the port, so why do you stay?”
“Oh, my name is Benzel. I just stopped by the port for personal business.”
“Personal business? tell me.”
“I teach swordsmanship at the house of Mr. Gibson Cannon, the port manager. Mr. Cannon’s son is about to enter the knight academy next spring…”
“Huh! crap. You’ve decided to teach from today, right?”
Before Benzel could answer, Marquis Gosling Knauf raised his hand to end the conversation.
“You speak too harshly to Lady Coldwall.”
“dismissal!”
“Wait a minute, think and speak from now on. The one hanging on my shoulder is also a head. i like this lady She has a beauty that can’t be found in this secluded village. For that alone, the lady deserves to be treated. Do you think I am wrong?”
Count Keitha Coldwall lowered her eyes gently.
It was because there was no way that the Marquis Gosling Knauf could hear anything he said now.
“I made a mistake in my old age. Your Excellency is absolutely right.”
With the horse he took a step back.
Marquis Gosling Knauf pointed to an empty seat and said.
“Would it be okay for Miss Benzel to sit together?”
“Yes…”
Benzel followed as the opponent led.
In fact, there was no other way but to do as he pleases.
Marquis Gosling Knauf sat comfortably in a chair and stared at Benzel.
Looking at it from the front, my heart was as satisfied as the beauties of Jedo.
“Is Miss Benzel Ramus?”
“no. Both of my parents are commoners.”
“You can feel the noble lineage in Miss Benzel’s face, but is she a commoner?”
“My father was a wandering mercenary, and my maternal grandfather managed the lord’s forest. By the way, I apologize for the question, but who are you?”
“me? I am Marquis Gosling Knauf.”
At those words, Benzel stared at the opponent without realizing it.
This is because Marquis Gosling Knauf is the younger brother of the famous Archduke Kaiser Knauf.
‘Oh my God…’
Archduke Knauf, known as mankind’s strongest swordsman, is called the ‘unfinished Grand Master’.
It was Archduke Kaiser Knauf’s own will that he was labeled ‘unfinished’ after defeating countless sword masters.
“You look surprised?”
In an instant, Benzel jumped up from his seat and bowed deeply.
“Your Excellency Marquis! Please forgive the rudeness!”
Then Marquis Gosling Knauf waved his hand.
The wave of mana he emitted forced Benzel to stand up.
“Sit down. I don’t like being too polite.”
“Yes…”
Marquis Gosling Knauf said with a straight face, and Benzel reluctantly sat down.
“In the world, there are laws of nature that are stronger than high and low ranks. Do you know what it is?”
“Is there such a thing?”
“there is.”
“What law of nature is stronger than the high and the low?”
“It is a relationship between a man and a woman.”
“…”
For a moment, Benzel was stunned and couldn’t say anything.
To think such vulgar words would come out of the mouth of someone who might be the Marquis of the Grand Duchess of Knauf.
On the other hand, Marquis Gosling Knauf’s words were rather hurtful to her, who was out of wedlock.
“You look like you don’t agree.”
“I think we are happy when we meet someone who is worthy of our status.”
“Ask me before that. Your dream is to be titled, right?”
“That’s right.”
“If you wear my grace, you will receive a title. You make your dream come true and I get a beauty. Doesn’t this also seem to make each other happy?”
“Your Excellency, I am presumptuous, but my dream is to obtain a title worthy of my achievements as a knight. So if you follow His Excellency’s words, only Your Excellency will be happy.”
“Funny. I like roses with thorns like you. Even if you are too obedient, you won’t get drunk.”
At the words of blatant teasing, Benzel rose from his seat.
“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear what you said now. I’ll just go away.”
“You will regret it.”
“If I follow Your Excellency’s words, I think I will regret it even more. Enough then.”
Benzel bowed his head to Marquis Gosling Knauf and backed off.
As she left, Marquis Gosling Knauf threw a hand at Count Keitha Coldwall.
“Yes sir.”
“Check Benzel. He has something to hide.”
