Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1378. They will haunt us from all sides.

Elio and his party left without looking back.

The kings of the Southern Kingdom and the ‘representatives of the king’ who were in the central hall did not open their mouths for a while in shame.

It is only natural that Count Elio Lagoa killed the Chancellor of the Kingdom of Adria despite the opposition of the southern kings and the ‘king’s representative’.

King Raoul Brosnan said with a sad expression.

“If we had the power to defend ourselves… we would never have had a war with the Empire or been put to shame by Count Lagoa.”

Of course, that was only half true.

The war with the Empire was caused by trying to monopolize the steel golem.

But no one pointed it out here.

In fact, they thought, ‘If the power of the Southern Kingdoms was strong, even if the Southern Kingdoms blocked access to the Abyss, the war would not have occurred’.

The king of the Shade Kingdom, whose country was taken over by the imperial army, helped with a word.

“You are right. In that sense, how did the development of the new strategic weapon go?”

The king and the ‘king’s plenipotentiary’ all saw King Raoul Brosnan in unison.

“I received a call a month ago saying that we were in the final stages. Sooner or later, we too will be armed with weapons comparable to Excitium.”

King Raoul Brosnan did not hide the progress.

It was because the Adria Kingdom army alone could not defeat the Imperial army anyway.

If the weapons of both sides were similar, the victory or defeat would ultimately depend on the number of heads and tactical strategies, so the entire southern kingdom had to arm themselves with new weapons.

The three southern kingdom kings and two ‘king’s plenipotentiaries’ held a meeting over the matter of dealing with the Empire and the Earl of Lagoa.

***

After leaving the palace, Elio and his party moved to a restaurant in Krasion Castle.

If it was like before, he would have gone to the Cusco Castle, but the relationship with the Adria Kingdom was strained, so he decided to just use the restaurant.

Elio, who ordered food and waited for it to come out, muttered involuntarily.

“Would you have killed him after finding out which magic tower made that request?”

Then Count Larva Omar spoke.

“I think I know where it is.”

“Really?”

“It must be the Taboola Magic Tower.”

“Why do you think it will be Taboola Magic Tower?”

“Have you forgotten who Miss Ariette Albano’s sponsor is?”

“ah!”

An exclamation escaped Elio’s lips.

It came to my mind belatedly that Ariette Albano’s patron was the owner of Tabula’s magic tower.

Count Omar glanced at Fabian and continued.

“It’s interfering with Miss Ariette and Baron Fabian’s marriage, so she must have wanted to sort it out.”

Then Fabian raised an objection.

“Couldn’t it be? If it turns out that Baron Sophia’s warriors were planned, it’s obvious that the Taboola Mage Tower will be suspected of being behind it.

“But even you, Baron Fabian, the closest person to Baron Sophia, did not doubt the warrior. The more people wish for someone’s death, the less the truth will be revealed.”

“Are you saying I wished for the death of Baron Sophia?”

“It may not be death, but I would have thought that she had caught me. The tower owner, Marquis Yuliana Leola, and the Chancellor of Adria Kingdom must have predicted that far. Great nobles always think that way.”

Fabian’s expression contorted for a moment, but he did not refute.

Because I couldn’t deny the fact that everyone knew.

Then Elio asked Fabian.

“As Count Omar said, if you are behind the Taboola Magic Tower… what will you do?”

“What do you want from me, a mere baron? If the top owner even snapped his finger, he would die.”

“Leave the handling of the Tower Master to me, and what will you do with your relationship with Miss Ariette?”

“…”

Fabian didn’t readily answer.

After the death of Baron Sophia, he continued to dream of reuniting with Ariette Albano.

But what if the Taboola Magic Tower is behind Baron Sophia’s warrior?

Will he be able to pursue a reunion with Ariette Albano even then?

My heart still wanted Ariette Albano, but my reason said no.

“Fabian?”

“What do you do? It’s over.”

“Good idea. I told you not to see me again if you talk nonsense.”

“I’m not that thoughtless.”

At the end of their conversation, Howard carefully changed the subject.

“Well, what do I do now? Should Count Omar and us remain in the kingdom of Adria?”

After thinking for a moment, Elio replied.

“I think there is something in the southern kingdom. I would like to at least confirm what it is, but what do you think, Count Omar?”

“I think the same. It’s like the sudden sacrifice of Baron Sophia, who had even mobilized the airship… I feel a different atmosphere than before. I guess we’ll have to figure out what it is.”

“Then Count Omar, please investigate the southern kingdom as before. Fabian and I will return to the Empire and finish the job.”

“What do you plan to do with Taboola Mage Lord?”

For a moment, everyone paid attention to Elio’s mouth.

If you think about it, his movements are not without a feeling that transcends imagination.

With the death of Baron Sophia, the chief of staff of the Skull Corps and the Chancellor of Adria Kingdom lost their lives.

Did Count Lagoa and Baron Sofia have a close relationship? If you do, that’s not it either.

Baron Sophia is just a woman Fabian briefly enjoyed.

However, for killing such a woman, Count Lagoa killed the great nobles.

It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t curious about what he would do with the tower owner after returning to the empire.

Elio said as if it were natural.

“It’s a life for a life.”

“If you kill the owner of the Taboola Tower, you will end up with hostile relations with the other Towers.”

“So you want to forgive me?”

“I’m afraid the whole world will turn its back on Lord Lagoa.”

Following the Empire, relations with the southern kingdoms were also not good.

If even the mage tower became an enemy, Count Lagoa would become a loner.

“I say so. Because I have nothing to regret.”

Then Fabian said curtly.

“Sir Lagoa, that would be true, but please consider our position as well.”

“How is your position?”

“They’re going to harass us from all sides.”

“so? You want to forgive the lord of the mage who killed your child? say it. I will give it according to the will of the father who lost his child. No matter how angry I am, it will not be as bad as my father.”

Elio looked directly at Fabian, who quietly lowered his eyes.

“Life seems to fit life.”

“If you go on the wide road that people of the world go on, your body will be comfortable, but… In the end, we will be just the same people as them.”

At Elio’s words, the party silently nodded.

Just in time the food came out.

Elio and his party began to quietly eat the food placed in front of them.

Londinium Empire.

The capital, Petropolis, Jung-gu.

Taboola Magic Tower.

As the magic crystal ball on the desk shimmered, the tower owner, Marquis Yuliana Leola, reached out and touched the magic crystal ball.

The face of the court wizard of the southern kingdom of Adria appeared in the magic crystal ball.

―I have contacted the owner of the Taboola Magic Tower because I have something urgent to tell you.

“Please speak.”

Up until this point, Marquis Yuliana Leola thought it was an inquiry about the magic gun.

―Count Helio Lagoa found out that there is a magic tower behind Baron Sophia’s warrior.

“what! What are you talking about now!”

Surprised, Marquis Yuliana Leola jumped up from her seat.

―It seems that the chief of staff confessed. As a result, the chief of staff and the prime minister died at the hands of Count Lagoa, and the corps commander was put on trial.

“If you mentioned my name, you wouldn’t even see the magic gun for the rest of your life!”

―The chancellor is dead, but he didn’t mention the Mage Tower.

“It’s a good thing out of misfortune.”

―Earl Lagoa and Baron Cloud have disappeared from Krasion Castle. When they return to the system, they will investigate the Mage Tower. I contacted you because I think you need to prepare for it.

“all right. If there’s nothing more to say, I’ll hang up.”

After her words, Marquis Yuliana Leola nervously hit the magic crystal ball.

There was a loud noise, but the magic crystal ball fixed on the desk didn’t even move.

“Tsk! I wasn’t dealing with things that were lacking…”

Marquis Yuliana Leola wandered around the office, struggling to come up with a countermeasure.

But no matter how much I squeezed my head, no trick came to mind.

If they had known that the Magic Tower was behind it, they would have come from the Taboola Magic Tower.

Thinking of Count Helio Lagoa’s mental magic gave me goosebumps.

In front of him, denials and lies don’t work.

Even if he is the tower owner, he will definitely use mental magic.

‘What is it?’

I squeezed my hair, but I couldn’t think of a way to avoid Count Helio Lagoa.

The complexion of the Marquis Yuliana Leola gradually turned white.

The work he thought was no big deal was strangling his neck.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

The knock on the door made Marquis Yuliana Leola startle and scream.

“Who are you!”

Magician Count Kaby Kraser opened the door and came in.

“Tower Lord, out of 10,000 Magic Guns, the first sale, 2,000 tablets, has been prepared. Can I send it like this?”

Marquis Yuliana Leola frowned.

‘At a time like this…’

It was a magic gun that he decided to sell to the Adria Kingdom.

Since the kingdom of Adria dealt with Baron Sophia, the contract had to be kept.

“Send… no, let’s go.”

Marquis Yuliana Leola nervously waved her hand.

I was tempted to ask for help, but I knew it was just a waste of time.

“yes.”

Earl Kaby Kraser took a quick look at the tower master’s complexion and quietly retreated.

Marquis Yuliana Leola, who had been biting her lip as she stood there, decided to run away.

She said, ‘Don’t look for me for a while. I will do my research in a quiet place,’ he wrote on his desk and left the Mage Tower without anyone noticing.

that evening.

Count Kaby Kraser handed out a letter to Elio, who had come to see the tower owner.

After reading the letter, Elio learned that the tower owner had run away and jumped up, but the escaped tower owner did not return.

Elio, who had calmed down his anger after a while, asked Count Carby Kraser.

“Do you know where the Tower Master can go?”

“I do not know. As far as I know, there is no private laboratory for the tower owner outside.”

It is said that it just bounced without measuring back and forth.

It is said that the best method of strategy is the 36-year-old Julhaengrang [走爲上策], and that is correct.

When I saw it myself, my insides turned upside down, but I couldn’t use my hands.

Elio, who had been standing there with a dejected face, turned around helplessly.

same time.

Fabian, who remains in Estella, Fermosa, has an unexpected guest.

Bardos Ariet Albano was at the peak of popularity.

She greeted Fabian in the eyes and sat across from Fabian.

“I haven’t seen you for a long time. Where have you been?”

“I have been to the kingdom of Adria.”

Ariette Albano, who remembered Baron Sofia Orlova, did not ask why.

Fabian said to Ariette Albano, who was quietly looking at him.

“Baron Sophia was killed in Peromuros.”

“…”

Ariette Albano looked at Fabian with a startled face.

Did Baron Sophia die in battle?

Though it was unfortunate, the thought of being fortunate at the same time passed through my mind.

However, Ariette Albano’s expression hardened at Fabian’s continued words.

“The Chancellor of Adria confessed. The Mage’s Tower in the Islands demanded the death of Baron Sophia as a condition for selling the magic gun. I once had a conversation with the tower’s owner, Marquis Yuliana Leola. He said to make you happy. Count Omar suspects your patron, the Marquis Juliana Leola, is behind it. Count Lagoa went to the Taboola Magic Tower, so you’ll know the results soon.”

“….”

“If Tabula Magic Tower made such a request to Adria’s chancellor, I will never see you.

Fabian left Ariette Albano, who was stunned and stunned, and stood up.
