Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Chapter 1005

Episode 1005. What if I refuse?

Duke Stauros looked at the savage with meaningful eyes and said.

“Your aura is the best I’ve ever seen. Did you get a title?”

“I didn’t get it.”

I don’t know exactly what the title of kinship is, but since I haven’t received anything since I came here, I answered like that.

Then Duke Stauros turned to Marquis Bernardo.

“Isn’t Marquis still giving titles to barbarians?”

“Conservative lords are reluctant to do so, but I know they’ve eased up a lot lately.”

“I’m sorry. With that level of skill, I think I’ll be at the level of a sword expert... I can’t believe I didn’t even get a title.”

“It seems that you look at the barbarian too well. Aren’t you a mana user’s opponent, no matter how many or how little you have?”

The Duke of Stauros had a slightly different opinion, but he did not dispute the words of the Marquis.

In general, it is also true that ‘mana users’ have two levels of power than ‘spirit practitioners’.

“Even so, that barbarian’s aura seems to exceed that of a sword beginner. I don’t know why Count Putocoa used barbarians as soldiers.”

“It must have been because Count Putocoa was conservative.”

When he said he was conservative, Duke Stauros didn’t have any more questions.

Originally, humans in ancient times practiced aura like beasts.

Then, he gradually awakened to Mana, and in the end, he abandoned his spiritual energy and entered the ‘Path of Mana’.

If spiritual energy is rooted in the essence of living things, mana is in contact with the source of all things.

That was the fundamental reason why mana was superior to aura.

Unlike humans, the Beasts couldn’t escape the aura. Because they couldn’t feel mana.

Since then, humans have regarded themselves as superior beings who received the ‘choice of mana’, and regarded beastmen who did not as inferior beings.

There is even a popular saying that ‘beasts are cursed by mana’.

For these reasons, humans rejected and despised beastmen.

Among those who did not receive mana’s choice, there were those who blamed it on the beasts around them.

In general, conservatives used to blame everything on prisoners.

A person who goes into the forest, hangs out with such beasts, and even trains his spirit skills is a ‘savage man’.

The humans of the Rodina Continent regarded the savage as ‘an unclean being who abandoned human nobility and ate with beastmen’.

So, if Count Putocoa was conservative, no matter how good a savage was, he would not have been given the title.

Duke Stauros, who grasped the circumstances, lost interest in the savage from the ‘Strong Forest’ tribe.

His attention turned to another survivor, Count Codrantes.

“Looks like you’ve figured out everything you need to know about the savage. Let’s go see Count Codrantes.”

The duke turned back with the horse.

In order to meet the ‘Scutum Expeditionary Force’ in time at the ‘Hirhera Rift’ where the battle took place, they had to hurry, no matter how airborne they were.

The court mage, Carlos, also followed the duke’s footsteps without hesitation.

Left alone, Marquis Bernardo said to Yain.

“Earl Putocoa, who hired you, died in the ‘Hirhera Rift’. If you wish, I am willing to give you the title of baron and accept you into my order of knights. How is it? Oh, of course, after treatment.”

Marquis Bernardo, who was somewhat open to recruiting talented people, wanted to accept ― a barbarian who was well-regarded by the Duke ― as a vassal.

“Thank you for your words. Let me think about it.”

I didn’t accept it because I didn’t know the details of the relationship.

Marquis Bernardo looked at the savage with strange eyes.

Would a barbarian ever think of a title of baron?

It was a bit dumbfounded because it was such an unconventional proposal that the nobles of the territory would jump out of their heads when they found out about it.

“Okay. Come see me when you recover from your injuries. Let’s talk about it again then. If it wasn’t for the ‘Hirhera Rift’, I’d be in Kluton’s lord’s castle.”

“yes.”

When the younger brother answered, Marquis Bernardo left without looking back.

Left alone, the rivalry scratched his head with a rather absurd face.

Hearing so many stories at once was confusing in my head.

On the one hand, it feels empty, as if a gale has swept through it.

“What were you talking about anyway?”

After wearing the ring, I could communicate, but there were so many words I didn’t know, it felt like when I was studying writing as a child.

Title wizard, barbarian, mana, sword expert, mana user, etc...

Having not yet received the ‘Blessing of Mana’, she did not want to stay with the savage for long.

“I know roughly. thank you. Go.”

When Yeon Jeok-ha finished talking, Amber left without looking back.

“That’s why you called me a savage. That’s a savage.”

I thought it was someone else’s misunderstanding just a little while ago, but after knowing the situation, it wasn’t wrong.

“By the way, what is it that mana users are about two levels stronger than aura practitioners? That’s what it means to beat the sword with swordsmanship. That’s how good mana is?”

It was similar to the difference between internal energy and spiritual energy.

That’s why you get treated as half a penny when you use a spirit skill.

“If mana and aura don’t coexist, you can’t train mana anymore. It’s a mess.”

That’s what he said, but he also wanted to see how great a ‘mana user’ was.

that afternoon.

Another woman, a therapist, came to the inn with a bowl of medicine.

As soon as I received the medicine, I drank it at once without saying a word.

It feels like the internal wounds are sinking, similar to Jingiyosang.

‘As expected, Sanggye’s medicine is different!’ The thought came to me.

Illyana said, putting the empty bowl on the pedestal.

“You’re wearing a ring I’ve never seen before? Is it because of that ring that you suddenly became able to speak Rodina?”

“yes.”

The couple openly admitted it.

There was no reason to lie, since the ring was given in front of the Marquis anyway.

In addition, unlike the eccentric woman, this woman, a therapist, did not change her attitude, so it was easy to deal with.

“The Marquis made a huge investment to even give me an artifact.”

He seemed to shrug his shoulders.

In fact, I received it from the court mage, but I didn’t feel the need to inform it.

“What is your name?”

“The red sunset reflected in the pond.”

“Are you a ‘mountain tribe’?”

“no. It’s the ‘strong forest’.”

Illyana chuckled.

It is because the innocence of wild people was felt in the name of ‘Strong Forest’.

However, she soon erased her smile and said with a serious face.

“If I found out you were alive in the County of Putokoa, I wouldn’t be quiet.”

“What if I’m not alone?”

“I’ll tell you to come back and work for the Earldom of Putokoa.”

“What if I refuse?”

“You can’t touch it. Because the Marquis wants to accept you as a vassal. Instead, I might take my anger out on the savages of the territory.”

“You mean bullying?”

“If it’s severe, we can subdue it.”

“What crime do you punish them for?”

“It’s okay if you make it. Savage tribes live in the mountains and don’t pay taxes. From the lord’s point of view, it’s no different than a thief.”

“Does the savage tribe steal?”

“I don’t. How do you steal when you live deep in the mountains where no one goes?”

After speaking, Illyana tilted her head.

‘Why does Yain ask me that?’

“So you’re saying I have to go back to the county?”

Illyana, startled for a moment, waved her hand.

“no! no! It could come from the County of Putokoa, so I told you to prepare for it.”

“aha! Thank you for letting me know.”

Yeonjeokha took a fresh look at the pharmacist.

It seems that his thoughtfulness and appearance resemble Gong Ji-yu, whom we first met in ‘Heaven of Kings’.

When our eyes met, Illyana left with a shy face.
