Episode 1189. I see an island!
Elio walked over to the northern nobles and the task force knights who were pressuring Benzel.
His complexion was not good because of the serious injury, but his gait was energetic.
The task force, Count Keitha Coldwall, motioned to his staff, Viscount Colin Mescal, to step down.
Now that Marquis Gosling Knauf, whom he trusted, had left the battlefield, the northern nobles could not be defeated with the strength of the task force alone.
The northern nobility and the knights of the task force that were besieging Benzel slipped behind them, leaving only the task force commander and staff in their place.
Elio glared at Count Keitha Coldwall with displeased eyes.
“What are you doing? Would you kill the observers to cover up the shooting at me with the magic gun?”
“I’m wrong. Because Benzel is slandering the task force…”
“Hey Mister. Do you think my eyes and ears are decorations? Who is slandering whom? sudden! I’m afraid I’ll rip my mouth out.”
“….”
Count Casesa Coldwall pretended not to hear Viscount Elio Lagoa’s abusive remarks, ignoring them.
He passed on after learning that Viscount Helio Lagoa’s swordsmanship was comparable to that of Archduke Knauf.
Imperial titles, excluding hereditary succession, are proportional to ability.
Considering that he was a duke, not a viscount, there was nothing he couldn’t stand.
Elio continued talking while looking through the articles of the task force.
“hey! you. How do Imperial nobles fight duels between knights? If you’re about to lose, why don’t you support me with a magic gun from behind? Kill all the witnesses? oh, these kids It’s a waste of title. It’s a waste of title. Are you guys still knights? The result of the duel between the imperial nobility cannot be trusted. Am I the only one who got hit with a magic gun from behind? Ayy, you two bastards who can’t be related. What are you staring at? Get out of here you bastards!”
As he opened his eyes, Countess Kaysa Coldwall dismissed the knights of the task force and ran to Marquis Gosling Knauf with her staff.
“Your Excellency, Marquis.”
Marquis Gosling Knauf, who had been standing with a bewildered face at the call of the task force commander, turned his head.
“Where did you get hurt… Whoops!”
Countess Keitha Coldwall, who was examining the body of Marquis Gosling Knauf, opened her mouth wide.
Blood was dripping from the cut front of the pants, but I couldn’t see anything that a man must have inside.
Trembling with pain and loss, Marquis Gosling Knauf gritted his teeth and said,
“kill. will kill.”
Then Countess Keitha Coldwall held him by the arm and held him back.
“It’s not possible. You shouldn’t fight him now that he’s incapacitated.”
“Let go! How can I live like this!”
“Your Excellency, Marquis. Viscount Lagoa is more vicious than the demons. Please stop, for you may be insulted even more.”
“Can there be a greater insult than this? I am already dead.”
However, contrary to his extreme words, Marquis Gosling Knauf did not shake off the count’s hand.
It was because I felt that if I fought Viscount Elio Lagoa now, I would be in a worse situation.
Fabian asked, glancing at Marquis Gosling Knauf.
“What did you do with the Viscount Marquis so you can’t even stand properly?”
“I cut it off.”
“There? Are you sure that’s what you’re talking about?”
“uh. People have to control it, it can’t control people.”
“It does. But I’m not sure if that’s okay?”
“What if it’s not okay? What’s the matter?”
“I thought I might be able to stand up in the Grand Duchess of Knauf.”
“Tell me to get up. ‘Cause I’m going to dry the seeds out a lot. Those cowards who snip during duels are better off dead.”
Then Count Larva Omar, who had been listening silently, interrupted.
“It’s a presumptuous statement, but considering the peace of the continent, it’s better that the Knauf Archduchess is alive and well.”
“why?”
“If the Grand Duke of Knauf collapses, the northern kingdoms will invade the empire. Do you want the continent to return to the time of the Imperial War 50 years ago?”
“Did the northern kingdoms notice the Grand Duchess of Knauf?”
“The one who controls the battlefield is the Sword Master. But the Sword Master of the Grand Duchess of Knauf is the strongest, so I can’t help but notice.”
“aha.”
“Fifty years ago, the empire waged war, but didn’t the southern kingdoms go to war first? If the Grand Duchess of Knauf collapses now, the northern kingdoms will undoubtedly join the war.”
“I guess so.”
Elio, awakened, tried hard to suppress his antipathy toward the Grand Duchess of Knauf.
It was dizzy to think that the continent could fall into chaos because of him.
The news that ‘Viscount Elio Lagoa had won the duel against Marquis Gosling Knauf’ was soon spread throughout the Duchy of Lorraine.
However, not all facts have been made public.
The fact that Viscount Elio Lagoa was shot during the duel was thoroughly buried.
Elio’s party didn’t dare to brag about it in order to prevent the escalation of the war.
Benzel also heard the story of Count Omar of Larva and kept it a secret.
After finishing Benzel’s work, Elio’s party set out on a voyage again.

central hall.
Archduke Knauf listened to the words of Count Damon Isaac, the commander of the knights, with a solemn face.
“…then the northern nobles set sail again.”
“You say you’re looking for the Celestial Star?”
“That’s right. Whether it’s just words or really looking for perforation remains to be seen.”
“The veracity of the testimony that the Magnum Ops went to the Celestial Star?”
“It must be true, as it was verified by using mental magic on the captured warlock. Of course, Magnum Opps could have lied to the Warlock. Considering the power of the Magnum Ops, there seems to be no reason to do so.”
“So you’re saying that the Magnum Ops went to Celestial Star? Are you saying it’s not?”
“It has been reported that it has gone once, but it is not clear whether or not it exists, so it doesn’t seem like a simple matter to think about.”
“Even so. How bad is Marquis Gosling’s injury?”
“There are no injuries other than loss of male function.”
“Is that a challenge to the Grand Duchess of Knauf?”
“It’s more likely a punishment for the Marquis Gosling’s promiscuous private life.”
“If that’s how promiscuous a private life is, all the great nobles of the system will have to die.”
For a moment, a bitter smile appeared on Count Damon Isaac’s face.
As he said, when aristocrats find a woman they like, they get drunk and see it. So, the words of the Archduke Kaiser were not wrong.
“I didn’t think Viscount Lagoa had other political intentions, so I showed you.”
The eyes of Archduke Kaiser Knauf, who was looking at the knight commander, were young.
“Does Kyung want me to pretend I don’t know?”
“Yes, because there is nothing for the Grand Duke to gain by fighting the northern nobles.”
“Can’t we straighten the honor of the Grand Duchess of Knauf?”
“The honor of the Grand Duchess of Knauf belongs not to the Marquis Gosling, but to Her Highness.”
“But the Marquis of Gosling is the heir of the Grand Duke of Knauf and is my younger brother. Are you still pretending not to know?”
“Compared to what the Knauf family gains when they win, they lose too much when they lose.”
“Hmm! Sir, do you think I could be defeated by Viscount Lagoa?”
Archduke Kaiser Knauf stared at the knight commander with strange eyes.
Count Damon Isaac hurriedly bowed his head with a startled look on his face.
“I didn’t mean that. His Highness the Archduke is the foremost among knights. You will surely win the fight against Viscount Lagoa. I’m just thinking of avoiding it if there’s even a one percent chance…” ”
So that means I’m not 100 percent sure.”
Count Damon Isaac, hesitant, let out a light sigh.
“I’m sorry to inform you, but the general opinion of the knights of the imperial family is that Viscount Lagoa is no ordinary sword master.”
“Not an ordinary sword master? So, are you saying that you can become a grand master?”
“It’s not like that, but the knights of the imperial family count Her Highness the Grand Duke and Viscount Lagoa as knights close to the Grand Master.”
“It’s a generous evaluation for the northern knight who came out of nowhere.”
“Isn’t that reasonable considering his achievements in the North?”
“Who said that? Believe only half of the rumors.”
“Even if you cut it in half, it’s great. What knight would make such a feat these days?”
“If anyone hears it, they will know that you are from the North.”
When the knight commander sided with Viscount Lagoa, Archduke Kaiser Knauf said a word.
However, it was only in words, and in fact, he had no intention of fighting Viscount Lagoa.
Like the knight commander said, it’s because there’s so much to lose compared to what you gain.
However, as a knight, a sense of triumph arose.
For some reason, it seemed that if I fought Viscount Lagoa, I would be able to solve the Grand Master’s clue.
However, for such personal reasons, he could not run to Fiesta.
Don’t you know if the empire is in a stable period?
It’s because we’re at war with the South and we don’t know when the North will rise up.
Archduke Kaiser Knauf, who was pondering something, opened his mouth.
“Considering the situation on the continent, it is appropriate to cover it, but if we stay still, the enemies will laugh at us. Send an investigator to find out the full details of the duel.”
“yes.”
The knight commander bowed his head politely.
He thought Archduke Knauf had indeed made a wise decision.
If the knights were dispatched right away, or if Archduke Knauf moved, it was certain that it would cause a big wave.
Since it was a time of war, the duel would be forgotten during the investigator’s investigation.
It would have been better to solve Viscount Lagoa’s problem quietly then.

afternoon.
Elio and his party stared at the horizon all day under the canopy.
Fabian, who was scratching his chest with a bored face, suddenly glanced at Elio.
“Viscount?”
“uh?”
“Are you feeling well?”
“Not bad.”
“Were the magic bullets that strong?”
“I don’t know.”
“I don’t understand. Weren’t there musketeers in our Yeongji Army too? Isn’t Sir Sera the musketeer of the Phantom Knights? I saw Lord Sera shoot her magic gun, but it wasn’t that powerful.”
Then Count Omar of Larva intervened.
“Not all magic bullets are the same. Strange rumors circulated during the Imperial War in the past. The Empire has developed a magic bullet with tremendous destructive power that can kill a sword master. Maybe it didn’t even come out.”
“ah! Then it makes sense. Are the Viscount and others all right?”
“I can just hold on.”
“Oops! You can’t stand it. The one who has to fight the sun god. Wouldn’t it be better to get enough treatment and come out?”
“are you okay. Cama Debias is not for me to deal with.”
“yes? Aren’t you the Viscount? Do you really intend to entrust it to the Count?”
“Who do you want to catch? It has nothing to do with the Count or you, so don’t worry.”
“Who else is on this ship besides the Count and me?”
“Stop asking me because there is. Your back hurts every time you answer.”
“I was worried because I was sick. Even if you’re in good shape, you’re worried…”
“Fabian.”
“yes?”
“I don’t fight when I feel like I’m going to lose. I’ll take care of it, so take a good look around. Don’t pretend you didn’t see it because you’re scared.”
“How does the Viscount look at me? I am not that kind of guy.”
Fabian strained his eyes and glared at the sea.
Then Milo’s cry came from the top castle on the main mast.
“It’s Seo Island! I see an island!”
