Episode 1031. Nothing is more effective than the truth

.

Duke Escatos asked with a puzzled face.

“Oh, the young heir of Putokoa has something to say. What is it?”

Then Tobias Putocoa politely greeted Duke Escatos and opened his mouth.

“Last night in front of the knights’ restaurant, there was a fight between the knights of Marquis Bernardo and our barons of Putocoa.”

At the words of Tobias Putocoa, Marquis Bernardo turned to his staff, Viscount Oscar Avid.

Viscount Oscar Avid shrugged as if he didn’t know.

Marquis Bernardo, who had tilted his head, turned his gaze back to Tobias Putocoa.

I was a little interested in the fact that it was a fight that was done so secretly and quickly that even the informant staff did not know.

Duke Escatos, who had been listening quietly, asked Tobias Putocoa with an absurd face.

“Do you think we should know about private fights between knights?”

Since it was a place where many people gathered, quarrels often arose between the knights in the garrison.

However, in most cases, it was resolved between the parties involved through an apology or a duel, and there was no bringing them to the noble meeting.

To the Duke of Escatos’ point, Tobias Putokoa replied with a rather serious face.

“It would have been if it had been a normal fight with nothing to worry about.”

“What is the problem?”

“It is not because the untitled Marquis Bernardo’s knight insulted the Baron of Putocoa.”

Duke Escatos, who watched the political maneuvering in the palace, laughed.

Isn’t it quite a good idea to say that the artist’s theme was accused of saying, ‘The driver who is a quasi -family insulted the aristocracy.’

‘But it’s amazing that a knight alone faced three sword beginners. Was there a person of that level in the Marquis Bernardo family? Ah...’

The name came out of Tobias Putokoa’s mouth as he thought ‘If it’s Elio, it might be possible’.

“Last evening, after Elio, the ‘Knight of the Rift’, neutralized three barons of the Gryphon Knights, their mana was consumed.”

“What do you mean by extinguishing mana?”

“Elio forcibly infused the knights with aura... Mana was scattered.”

For a moment, the nobles murmured.

Most of the nobles paid attention to ‘making mana users useless’ rather than a fight between a knight and a baron.

The expressionless face of Duke Escatos also hardened at once.

“Strange. He must have known that he was a mana user. That the mana hole will not be broken unless you train yourself.”

“That’s right. Sir Elio forcibly opened the barons’ Elixir Field (Danjeon) and turned them into Reiki practitioners.”

“aha!”

Duke Escatos nodded as if he understood.

If it was Elio’s ignorant aura, it was possible.

Since he was an aura practitioner equal to mana users, he must have ignored mana’s repulsive force with that tremendous aura.

When Duke Escatos seemed to be insignificant, Tobias Putocoa took a step further.

“That’s not all. There are more important issues than that. In that fight, Elio used Blink, a 5th circle magic. Me and the Griffin Knights suspect that Elio was not helped by black magic. The fact that demons appeared just at the right time... I would like to formally suggest an investigation into Elio.”

A commotion arose among the nobles.

Perhaps because of the appearance of the demons, there were many nobles who supported Tobias Putokoa’s remarks.

In fact, it was true that Tobias Putokoa’s words were suspicious.

This is because Blink is a 5-circle magic.

Quite a few magicians do not learn magic to the level of mage (circle 4).

If you’re a 5th circle wizard, you don’t even need to learn swordsmanship. That alone is already a national talent.

“Before that, there is a truth to tell you. Sir Elio’s swordsmanship has reached the level of a mana user’s sword expert, even though he is an aura practitioner.”

“...”

The mouths of the nobles fell open.

Considering the age of Elio, who is said to be twenty-seven, that was a really hard story to believe.

Tobias Putokoa impatiently intervened.

“Even if he’s a sword expert, he can’t use Blink!”

“Heir of Putokoa, don’t get excited. Didn’t I tell you, or did you use a trick that looked like Blink?”

“...”

Tobias Putokoa frowned at the mage’s incomprehensible words with a disgruntled face.

If it’s Blink, then it’s Blink. What’s the trick to make it look like Blink?

As Tobias Putokoa was silent, Mage Carlos continued to explain to the nobles.

“I was surprised to see Sir Elio fighting the giant Cyclops today. They fought in the east and in the west. It did look like Blink at first glance. So, just in case, I observed with the ‘eyes of truth’. It was a skill created not by mana or black magic, but by the perfect harmony of aura and body. It was so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye, and it looked like Blink. Although I called Sir Helio a sword expert at the outset, he may have reached the edge of sword mastery. Let’s give thanks to Mana Phrass, the Creator God, for his boundless love towards the Kingdom of Escatos.”

After speaking, Mage Carlos sat down with an elegant greeting.

The nobles were shocked and quiet for a while.

After a while, the nobles looked at Tobias Putokoa with pity.

That’s why even if you’re a count, you’ll be tired if you lose to a noble who has reached the end of sword expert.

Moreover, after the death of Count Moritz Putocoa, all sword experts of Count Putocoa were beginners or intermediate level.

If Elio pretended to be crazy and challenged Count Putocoa to a duel, he would not have the courage to defeat him.

Duke Escatos stepped forward.

“Heir of Putokoa, would you still claim that Sir Elio used black magic?”

“no. I will withdraw my suggestion. In addition, I formally request the Duke to mediate between Count Putocoa and Sir Elio. It was caused by a misunderstanding between the two parties, so please clear it up.”

Duke Escatos looked at Tobias Putocoa with a strange expression.

Although he is only eighteen years old, he is a senile old man.

It was still difficult to know whether it was because of fear or cunning.

“Okay. For now, solving the kingdom’s crisis is the priority, so I’ll accept it, but know that nothing is more effective than the truth when it comes to dealing with people.”

“...”

Tobias Putokoa did not answer.

Duke Escatos was wrong.

The most effective thing in matters with people is power.

It was because he had the power that a wild man could dare to take revenge on Count Putokoa.

***

The second day after Alpha Company was deployed on a rift monitoring mission.

around noon.

Fabian, who was chewing on energy balls with company commander Dennis Robin and Baron Elio, raised his hand and pointed to the sky.

“Squadron commander! Isn’t that unfair?”

The gazes of Baron Dennis Robin and Elio followed Fabian’s fingertips to the sky.

indeed! A huge ship was approaching the garrison.

Baron Dennis Robin pretended to be Al.

“I heard that you requested support, and finally the Empire’s magic corps arrived.”

For a moment, Fabian made a fuss.

“Wow! The Imperial Magic Corps? I’ve only heard of it, but I’m seeing it for the first time. So, has Magus Killian Hale, the top mage of the 7th Circle, come?”

Even the soldiers around them pricked up their ears at the word ‘Imperial Magic Corps’.
