Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1277. no! Why is something like that in the sky!

Marquis Yuliana Leola could not refuse Marquis Reid Kostock’s strong request.

However, even so, it was impossible to produce heat for the remaining month.

The production success rate of ‘Soul Stone’ is only around 5%.

It takes a huge number of hands to craft ten soul stones.

No matter how secretly it is pursued, it can be stepped on by the security forces or the intelligence bureau.

If that happens, the Taboola Magic Tower is over.

If something happened, even the emperor, not even the crown prince, would not be able to protect him.

“I will make three prototypes. Anything more than that is impossible.”

“His Highness the Crown Prince said it was the 10th.”

“Did I tell you? Anything more than that is impossible. It is not okay to not do it.”

When pressure in the name of the crown prince did not work, Marquis Reid Kostock hesitated for a moment.

“How long can you make the remaining 7?”

“Our mage tower’s production capacity is 3 gigabytes per month. Also, as I said beforehand, I have no intention of sharing my crafting skills with other magic towers.”

“Grunt! If so, please send three planes a month to the front. If you refuse, I will suggest to His Highness the Crown Prince that we share the crafting technology with the Magic Towers.”

“ha! great. Let’s send three 3rd generation Goliaths a month. Instead, the payment for the 3rd generation Goliath must be clearly settled. If payment is delayed, production will be delayed that much.”

“Please coordinate the payment issue with the Minister of Military Affairs, not with me. I don’t know about the financial execution of the Imperial Army, but there won’t be any delay.”

When the chief of staff slipped away, the corner of Marquis Yuliana Leola’s mouth went up.

“does not matter. We will only produce as much as we get paid for. If you want to receive the goods on time, you will definitely have to tell the Minister of Military Affairs.”

The wizards of the Mage Tower are not the Emperor’s servants, and the Imperial Family is only a good business partner to the Mage Tower.

Knowing that, Marquis Reid Kostock stared at the tower owner and then left.

Immediately after the expeditionary force’s chief of staff disappeared, Marquis Yuliana Leola headed to the Magic Engineering Lab.

When the tower owner visited without notice, Count Kaby Kraser, head of the Magic Engineering Research Institute, stopped what he was doing and approached her.

“Tower Lord.”

“What is the success rate of making soul stones?”

“It’s still not above 5 percent.”

“I met the chief of staff of the Expeditionary Force a while ago. They told me to deliver 10 3rd generation Goliaths until the launch ceremony.”

“That is impossible.”

“I said so too. First of all, we decided to produce 3 units until the launch ceremony and then deliver 3 units a month.”

“It’s possible to have 3 units in a month… but that will disrupt the production of Excitium.”

“Axisium is co-produced by the Three Demon Towers, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“ah! If so, you’re lucky. But, top lord. Is it really okay to release excitium like this? I heard they’re creating a special unit called the Batalion?”

Excitium is a weapon designed to kill sword masters, but it is also fatal to wizards.

This is because even the shields of high-ranking mages are torn like paper in front of Excitium.

“If there are a hundred knights, there is only one wizard. Higher mages are even rarer. The knights will be more anxious than the wizards, so they will take care of it on their own.”

“That’s true, but I’m uncomfortable that the Three Demon Towers are mobilized for the production of Excitium. With that much volume released, can you manage it properly?”

“Never mind. Isn’t that a good thing for us? Now that I can focus on developing the 3rd generation Goliath.”

Count Carby Kraser, who was silent for a moment, changed the topic.

“By the way, Megistus. A third-generation Goliath after two months of making a second-generation Goliath? Is this a feasible development rate?”

“You’re a magic engineer who received the title of Arch Mage. Thank you for having a genius.”

A wizard who reached the ultimate stage was called an Arch Mage by a Magnum Ops magic engineer.

Megistus was a magic engineer who received the rare title of Arch Mage in the Mage Tower.

“To jump over two generations of Goliath development in less than half a year… I’m watching from the sidelines, but it’s an incredible speed.”

“What do you mean?”

“This is what I said because I thought there was something suspicious about it.”

“Aren’t you jealous?”

“It can’t be.”

“Isn’t the study of soul stones such a difficult field in magic engineering? It is not right to doubt that you have achieved results by working hard on things that others consider taboo.”

The difficulty of research in magic engineering is divided according to the material.

While being based on rare metals is difficult, being based on living things is easy.

because of supply problems.

Beasts and monsters abound, but the amount of rare metals mined is fixed.

It was the same in the field of soul stones.

The soul stone is to put the soul of an intelligent body in a special crystal ball.

It was not difficult to obtain crystal spheres and intelligences, so the difficulty of the research was on the low side.

Securing ultra-light armor is as difficult as making a soul stone even in the production of a 3rd generation Goliath. If the Empire does not fully support it, 3 units in a month cannot be dreamed of.

“Even considering that, the 3rd generation is too fast.”

“I know what Kyung is concerned about. If Megistus’ mana had been corrupted, Lord would have known first. Am I wrong?”

“It is.”

“That’s all right. But I’ll forgive Megistus even if he’s a warlock, as long as he can produce at least three 3rd generation Goliaths a month.”

“As it is these days, so am I.”

Marquis Yuliana Leola and Count Carby Kraser looked at each other and smiled.

***

Abyss Pioneer Area.

As if a typhoon was about to come, the sea breeze blew fiercely from the morning.

The steps of Elio and the others walking along the shore also sped up.

Merdef, who was walking in the lead, shouted backwards.

“It’s windy! I think we need to find a safe place!”

Fabian, who was looking at the sky above the sea, asked.

“It’s not a typhoon, is it?”

“I do not know! It’s the first time I’ve had a wind like this!”

Fabian, who acts as the party’s butler, thought for a while before saying.

“Find a suitable place! I don’t think I’m going blindly like this!”

“yes!”

To find a safe place, Merdef and Tinelock turned inland.

Not long after, the two found a huge rock and hurriedly moved on.

Fortunately, there was enough space under the rock to fit ten people.

By the time Elio and his party reached Neoleokbawi, the strong wind reached its peak.

The trees in the forest bent and raindrops fell from the sky.

Woo woo woo!

Elio and the others huddled under the rock and stared at the front with surprised faces.

A dead tree was uprooted and blown away by the wind.

A strong wind blew incessantly from the sea.

The waves soared to a height of several tens of meters and could be seen even from the rock.

Elio asked Merdef.

“Is a typhoon blowing in Merci Abyss?”

“Yes, you can think of it as almost everything on the ground.”

“It looks really wide.”

“It’s not that wide. No one has ever been out to sea.”

“Don’t you know what lies across the sea?”

“Yes, the sea itself is unexplored.”

“Then what did people develop over those long years?”

“Even if it’s a pioneer area, it’s only a decent kingdom. They mined minerals there or gathered herbs.”

“Are you saying you only did things that made money?”

“Because it was discovered and developed by mercenaries.”

“aha!”

Elio nodded vigorously.

I don’t do dangerous things that don’t make money, so most of the Abyss is bound to be an unexplored area.

“But there are also minerals and herbs on the ground. Do you have any reason to risk your life to come down to the Abyss?”

“Because coming out of the Abyss is much better. There is a qualitative difference that is incomparable. That’s why it is a high-priced transaction.”

“Right.”

At that time, Crea pointed her finger at the sky above the sea.

“It’s a sky whale!”

At her cry, people’s eyes all at once turned to the sky above the sea.

The body of a huge whale was revealed through the gray clouds.

Seeing that, Elio shouted in surprise.

“How do whales fly in the sky!”

But it wasn’t just whales floating in the sky.

Soon after, creatures resembling gigantic jellyfish were blown to the shore by the wind.

But, as if he knew something, no one was as surprised as Elio.

“no! Why is something like that in the sky!”

Baron Howard Solon answered Elio’s continued cry.

“The sea of Abyss is a little different from the land. Whales that float like this are called ‘sky whales’. Those that look like jellyfish are called ‘floating jellyfish’.”

“Isn’t that supposed to be under the sea?”

“The sea of Abyss is a little different.”

“Is this Chaos?”

At Elio’s self-talk, Baron Howard Solon tilted his head.

“Chaos?”

“No, I just did it. How far do they fly? Haven’t you seen them in the desert?”

“I live mainly on the sea. I learned that when strong winds blow, they can even fly to the shore. Merdef, is there anything wrong with what I said?”

Baron Howard Solon, who was new to the Abyss, attracted Merdef as if he was not confident.

“Yes, that’s right. It is mainly found only on the beach. Even if you enter the land, you will return to the sea soon.”

Elio asked with his eyes fixed on the sky whale and the floating jellyfish.

“Mr. Mer, doesn’t that attack people?”

“It is docile and will not come down to the ground unless you attack first.”

“Are those witches? Are you a monster?”

“It is classified as a monster.”

“Do mercenaries hunt sky whales?”

“Ordinary mercenaries cannot even dream of it. Regular troops armed with magic guns often go hunting. The skin and bones of sky whales are the materials for the finest armor.”

“How much is your combat power?”

At that time, the faint cry of a whale was heard from the other side of the sky.

Although it was a monster, the cry of a whale somehow warmed my heart.

The sky whale was a creature far from fighting even if it only heard its cry.

“Compared to its size, its combat power is not strong. If you are careful, you can catch it without much sacrifice if you are careful to attack with a huge amount of water called ‘Heavy Water’.”

“Have you ever seen a catch? Or where did you get them from?”

“Hehe, I only heard rumors from EXO. With the Count’s magic, it should be able to be eliminated in an instant.”

Merdef remembered the magic of the falling night sky he had seen a while ago.

With one shot, even the thick skin of a sky whale would turn into a beehive.

“Why kill a monster that won’t harm people no matter how bad it is? I don’t even look like a monster because I hear her cry.”

“Is it money?”

“Do you think I came to Abyss to make money? Stop talking nonsense and look for personal information.”

“yes.”

Merdef looked in all directions pretending to be looking for something.

Even though he was a savage, he knew the honor of his vulgar behavior. Tynlock shook his head.

Elio whispered to Luna Mylus, who was holding his shoulder.

“sister. Don’t you want to ride a sky whale?”

“why? do you want to do that?”

“If not here, when else would you fly through the sky in something like that?”

Luna Mylus laughed bashfully.

As he said, it was only possible in the Abyss in the entire universe.

Meanwhile, sky whales and floating jellyfish drifted deep into the land.

The wind that had been raging like a typhoon calmed down for an instant.

Luna Mylus, who was looking at the white clouds floating like cotton balls in the deep blue sky, said quietly.

“Yes, let’s do it before looking for Ushas Undra (Golden Thread).”
