Dragon Poor

The Kingdom of Adenburg was essentially a centralized regime, but it was not completely feudalistic. Many lords swore allegiance and laid the foundation of the country under a powerful government, but the kingdom was able to influence many fields, directly or indirectly.

The nobles conceded to the powerful kingdom, and the royal family also acknowledged the authority of the nobles in a way that was not too demanding.

Among them, Wittenfeld Roy Mansk Change Bag was quite prestigious. Although his propensity was loyal to the royal family and there was no way to move for self-interest, no one doubted his majesty, who had long guarded the western army and its borders.

However, such a change bag did not completely control the appellants under the command. They were bending under Mansk's banner, but they were the rulers of the region for a long time, and were capable soldiers who eventually defended my land despite the frequent invasion of Nochtane.

One of them walks away from the Rhine Pearl territory. The Lord of Leyrak's territory, immediately adjacent to the Rhinepearl, challenged the ownership of the mine.

“The iron rays found belong to Leyrak territory. ”

The problem was that the location of the iron mine was ambiguous. If the boundary of the territory was not a river or mountain range to be bounded, it would not be precisely divided as if it were drawn by a ruler. If you wear a nose ring, it would be a conflict between earrings and any measurements. And the reigning ruler of Reyrak pointed out that flaw.

“Unfortunately, Mansk Change Bag is also unable to intervene directly on this matter. You can rely on the authority of the royal family as long as the royal family is authorized, but under the same circumstances, the royal family will not raise a hand until the dispute is resolved. ”

In the messenger's words, Kim Sun-hyuk said with a stiff face.

“That's what they decided to do. ”

The messenger was neither positive nor negative of what he said.

“That's what you want. Iron mines, but I'm curious how. How does this usually work? ”

“We may seek data and obtain legitimate ownership of the territory, or we may profit from agreements in good faith. ”

He shakes his head in response.

“It's not the way I like it. That's not the only way, is it? ”

“I've told you all about the formal method above, and actually there are different ways that nobles prefer to solve these problems. ”

Kim Sun-hyuk stood up with a fierce fist.

“So it's a territorial war after all! ”

Julian gives you a strange look.

“What kind of iron ore would threaten the self-destruction of the territory?" Before that, there might have been an army on our territory that would have done this. What are you talking about when you depend on Drake Cavalry for everything big and small? ”

“Isn't that usually the case? ”

“It's not usually the case. Even if it is possible, the Royal will not allow it. because the royal family doesn't want the lords of change to settle down with each other and make a beef with Noctune. Nevertheless, if you wage a territorial war, I guarantee you will face the Western army first, not the opposing lord's army. ”

I assumed it was a world that was at war with neighboring countries, but it was completely empty. He shuns Julian's pathetic gaze.

“There is a way to prove your own justice without consuming the power of the territory. ”

“So what is it? ”

Julian stares at the messenger with a grumpy reply to his anxious heart. The messenger gives the message to Earl Mansk as if awaiting.

“Mansk Change Bag has already approved the trial duel. If He wished, He would join the faithful to testify about the validity of the duel and the legitimacy of the judgement. ”

“Trial duel? ”

Julian explained for Kim Sun-hyuk, who is still a lord and noble.

“I'm leading a duel. Once the duel is over, the loser cannot object and must follow the winner's wishes. ”

“What is that? At the end of the day, the strong have the advantage. ”

He looks baffled in the inevitable manner of trial.

“God will raise the hand of the righteous. God does not want injustice to triumph. ”

“That's it. That means you're right to win. ”

“Different. The righteous win." ”

I couldn't understand what was different between the two, but Kim Sun-hyuk didn't vomit any more. What matters now is not the fairness of the trial, but the outcome of the duel.

“If the trial were to take place, did you hear who the opponent would be? ”

The messenger answered Julian's question, a servant but clearly a nobleman, who is also close to an apprentice knight.

“Baron Leyrak has been told that he will be bringing in another man serving in the Central Knights. ”

“If Leyrak's next of kin...”

“I am a senior knight with eight years of service in the Central Knights. A knight devoted his entire life to the training of the sword, to the motivation of having a talent from a young age and not having a succession to ranks. As a result, he was recognized as the" Sword of Thunder "in the Royal Family. ”

As soon as I heard the childish title, I knew whose work it was. Obviously Ophelia, a child of the House of Ardesden who had given the fierce beast an unfit nickname for Goldie.

“You're a tough one. I think I know why Baron Leyrak has done so much. ”

Julian's expression darkens while he remains obsessed with his uncomfortable thoughts for a moment.

“It would be better to make a certain profit and come to an agreement than a trial duel, if possible." Sword of Thunder "has a reputation for being similar in advanced articles in their 30s. ”

It was Julian who quickly changed his attitude, but he didn't blame her. It's because he knew how little the Knights looked like Humans. It remains vividly in my head how frightening Frederic's sword was at the position of the knight at the time in the encounter with Satine.

It weighs heavily on the opponent's mind that he is not just a knight, but a master knight.

“What would you do? ”

In Julian's question, he asked instead.

“To what degree do you compare the Birkhoff Sword or Lightning Sword to the Marquis of Lanehart? ”

“If the Earl of Lanehart heard that, he would be insulted and won't stand for it. ”

Even if it weren't for this story, Earl Reinhardt would already be desperate to eat himself, but he didn't even tell me that.

“So you're much weaker than the late Lanehardt? ”

“If you can count the columns of numbers by the time you count them, they'll think you're a genius. ”

There's hope. Fortunately, there's a gap between the same high ranking knights and the rest of the Reich family, not a monster like Earl Rainhard.

“Really? Let me ask you one more question. ”

“Are you sure you want to do this yourself? ”

“Just hear me out. ”

Julian's determination to immortalize himself with the strength of his lord's knights was rarely shown respect.

“Whatever answer I can give you. ”

Suddenly, he looks puzzled, looking at Julian, who gives an extreme example. On the other hand, Mansk's messenger also looks similar. He tilts his head in curiosity, but he asks the question he was going to ask first.

“Can you give up the trial duel? ”

“Yes?”

Julian asked with a blank face if it was an unexpected question.

“No. If that doesn't work in the middle of a duel, can we surrender?" ”

She slowly understands his words and replies with a kind, sunken face.

“Disgrace will follow, but it will. ”

“Then I'll get out of that duel. ”

It was only after I learned all the thin ideas about surrendering to the middle if I thought it was too much to speak in secret.

“There's no one else to go to. ”

In the end, the problem with the Baron Leyrak was shorted to seeing the resolution through a trial duel. Mansk's messenger sent word of Kim Sun-hyuk's decision to Earl Mansk, and the Earl sent word back to Baron Larc.

“I will fight fair and square, as the Royal Investigator. ”

The attendees are not affiliated with Mansk, but with Artist Geneger. The Royal Investigator had sufficient authority to appoint this slave wizard to attend, and the reason for the trial duel was also a mine related to the investigator's mission. No one disputed its fairness.

That's how I got in touch, and the trial duel was scheduled.

“Hm. Three weeks from now...”

For three weeks, neither long nor short, there was little time to sharpen and polish a sword that was lacking against a strong enemy. However, it was a story that was told to ordinary people everywhere, but not to Kim Sun-hyuk.

“If you try to get yourself killed, you can level up a level. ”

He was a foreigner who could grow up in a short time.

“The next Leyrak family member arrived at the territory yesterday. ”

“Really? Boom! You're here early, huh? ”

Kim Sun-hyuk, who left the duel for two weeks, was indifferent to training. He lets out his spear over and over again, listening to Julian's words.

“Ugh. Sweat. ”

The unstoppable spear stopped for a moment because of the sweat dripping down on my forehead. Julian approaches and gives you a dry towel, as if you were waiting.

“Oh, thank you. ”

He glances at her, handing her a towel to wipe away the sweat. In his eyes, she opens her mouth with a heavy expression.

“Ever since the trial duel was decided, the rumors about the Leyrak family's future have never been exaggerated. I have already been defeated several times in a trial duel on behalf of the high lords of the royal family, and have won an incredible victory. As a result, they've been known recently as" The Inquisitor of Leyrak Family. "”

“With a sense of naming...”

“It's not something to be trifled with. Some of the Knights who were defeated by him were senior knights. If you still think differently...”

“I've heard all the rumors in town. Can you cancel it? ”

“It might look a little funny, but it's better than losing a duel. because then you'll lose all of it, all of it. ”

Kim Sun-hyuk suddenly asked what Julian was worried about.

“Are you worried about me? ”

“Is there something wrong with the acolyte worrying about the owner? ”

“That's it? ”

After grabbing the spear again, you hear Julian's voice, leaving Tum for a moment.

“I'm sure you already know who I am. ”

He glances back at her, a complex emotion in her voice that had always been office, a spear in the floor.

“I am always deeply grateful to you. He avenged his father and made me feel like a little girl. Because of you, I was able to escape the shadow of my grandfather. If I didn't know the grace, I would be like an animal. And I don't even want to be an animal. ”

His eyes widen as she rarely tells the inside story.

“So I don't want you to get hurt. So please, just...”

“Thank you for your heart. ”

He cuts Julian's suggestion to reconsider from his waist.

“I told you, I'd surrender if I thought it was bad. ”

“Even the nickname Lightning bolt won't give you a chance at his sword. ”

“But we have to shout it desperately. Stop it, stop it. I lost. Shouting at a whale won't be hard to ignore. ”

Even though he was serious about what he said, Julian still answered with a slightly grim look on his face.

“Don't look like that. I have an idea. But you know what?”

Kim Sun-hyuk took a breath and corrected his posture. Then, he hurled his spear into the air in a solemn posture.

Bam!

However, the spear sounds noisy as if it had pierced something similar.

“I don't think I'm going to lose no matter how much I think about it.”

His gaze at the air caught the power of the attribute that began to scatter for a moment.

There was something I learned from training commanders last time. Is there a way to empower ourselves, like knights, with the concept of sword power? I was immersed in the individual training I had neglected for a while before the trial duel, and I was finally able to get the results I wanted.

Gooooo.

Following the trail of the spear, the mysterious energy, like the knights' swords, lingers heavily and scatters with a low sound of wind.
