Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1286. I found a new statue!

That night.

Luna Mylus patted Elio’s hair and asked right after making passionate love.

“How long are you going to keep watching Tinelock?”

“why? Who said what?”

“Not like that. I could see him circling around you. You know what he wants Are you pretending not to see him because you don’t like him?”

“If you don’t like it, just kick it out. Why are you pretending not to see it?”

“So you are asking. How long will that be?”

“Sister, originally, a thirsty person has to dig a well. He’s not even my family, so there’s no reason for me to take care of him, is there?”

“Ohhh.”

“what? that? Are you kidding me?”

“I’m not even family to Baron Howard, so didn’t you reach out first?”

“Am I? when?”

“You called me by the friendly name Howard and treated me well.”

“It’s because I can see that he believes in me and follows me. Tine locks… people can’t be honest.”

Luna Mylus said, touching Elio’s forehead with a loving hand.

“It’s not that I’m not being honest, but that I don’t have sociability unlike anyone else? You know what a barbarian is in the Empire. If there are a lot of scars, the relationship between people is bound to shrink.”

“You must know me as a savage, right?”

“As a grand master, he is also a count of the empire. You and he are close yet distant.”

“That’s why you seated Howard and the others at the table. If you did that much, you’d have to feed me rice with a spoon? To that reckless giant?”

“It is the role of the strong to reach out first.”

“If my sister goes that far, there’s nothing I can’t do. Stop talking about other people and talk about us.”

Elio started stroking Luna Mylus’ chest again.

“To talk?”

“…it makes sense.”

Before long, the rough breathing of Elio and Luna Mylus warmed the tent.

next day.

Elio, who was walking with Luna Mylus as usual, sped up and approached Tynelock, who was ahead of him.

“Mr. Tynlock.”

Tynelock, who was looking back at the sudden call, hesitated.

Or rather, ‘Mr. Tinelock’?

It was as crude a title as calling Baron Howard Solon ‘Howard’.

“yes.”

“How is it going?”

“…”

Tinelock did not readily answer.

Could this be the meaning of why you still stay here instead of leaving?

No, maybe it was just a word.

As he was confused over the intention of the question, Elio’s words continued.

“It’s fine as long as you’re doing well.”

Elio quickly passed him.

When he thought, “If there is no response after doing this, the relationship is over there,” he heard Tynelock’s voice.

“…not that I’m getting along well.”

Elio, who was approaching the leading Akerio mercenaries, aligned with Tinelock again.

“What’s wrong?”

“…yes.”

Tinelock, who hesitated, answered that he had a problem, although it was difficult.

Considering the danger of the Abyss, this might be the last chance.

Count Larva Omar, who was walking side by side with the paladin, suddenly asked.

“Hey Hareb. What kind of existence is a saintess?”

“Yes, of course it is the incarnation of Lord Shastra Parakti.”

“Do you believe that Luna Mylus is the incarnation of Shastra Parakti?”

“yes. Lord Omar, have you seen the divine power of Luna Mylus? You will not be able to imitate the high priest of any denomination.”

“But the relationship between Luna Mylus and Lord Lagoa…”

“Among the legends of other churches, there is a story of a goddess who loved humans.”

“Do goddesses even marry humans?”

“There is nothing I can’t do.”

“Is that so?”

Count Larva Omar looked at Luna Mylus with new eyes.

Anyone can see that the current Luna Mylus was a woman in love with Lord Lagoa.

Even the saintess who appeared out of nowhere was curious, but the change in attitude of Lord Lagoa, who usually shunned women, was shocking beyond surprise.

Paladin Almet Hareb said with a smile on his lips.

“I cannot think of the Goddess and Luna Mylus as separate. Never doubt that you two are the same.”

“No doubt. It’s just that it seems a little different from the gods I used to know…”

“I’m surprised too…but now I think so. With that said, didn’t Lagoa, who was ahead of him, go beyond the human category?”

“okay.”

Count Larva Omar nodded.

It was because Count Helio Lagoa was as mysterious as the saintess.

When I thought that way, it seemed like the two of them got along well, apart from God and human beings.

The Akerio Mercenary Corps, which was advancing while fighting the demons, let out cheers.

Mountains are visible over the horizon.

“It’s Mount Petra!”

“It’s here!”

The footsteps of the drooping mercenaries gained strength.

This is because Exodo will come out as soon as you go along Mount Petra.

During lunchtime, Captain Urea visited Elio and the others.

Leader Urrea started rhyming with the word ‘that’ because he didn’t know Elio’s identity yet.

“If you go around Mount Petra, you will find Exodo. It will take three or three days before EXO too.”

Elio, who was looking at Mount Petra, asked.

“I heard demons are coming over Mount Petra? It’s close to EXODO, so is EXODOO okay?”

“The canyon where monsters appear in large numbers is connected to the Evrima Plain. It rarely goes towards mines or exos.”

“Are you going?”

“There are also things that get out there by chance, but they can’t get through the mine. Because there are a lot of southern kingdom troops put into the mine.”

“Aren’t the mercenaries and adventurers?”

“The mercenary corps and adventurers are all meals. Main is the southern kingdom army.”

“I didn’t know.”

“Then you don’t know that golems were excavated in the mines, right?”

“Golem?”

Elio pretended not to know.

He shouted inwardly that it was not just a golem, but a steel golem.

“The golem is said to have created an off-limits zone. Of course, it’s still only rumors.”

“If the golem came out, it would be enough to ban the entry. I heard that there are still many mines that are free to enter and exit?”

“It’s because of the opposition from the mercenaries and adventurers. If they get angry and take their hands off, that good mine development will be impossible.”

“What happens when a golem comes out from another mine? I don’t think the southern kingdom will stand still.”

“There is a saying that they will buy it for a large sum of money. Anyway, since golems are prohibited from being traded between individuals… I will sell mines to the Southern Kingdom.”

“No trading?”

“yes. It was announced after the war broke out. from the Confederation of the Southern Kingdoms.”

“What is the Empire doing?”

“There was a war before the Empire intervened, right? Imperial influence in the Abyss is weak. There is no imperial army, only mercenaries and adventurers from the empire. They are only looking at the southern kingdom forces. Maybe it’s the atmosphere of being glad that you weren’t kicked out?”

“So the Empire is completely smitten?”

“If the golem had been found in the mines of the Imperial Mercenaries, the outcome would have been different.”

“I am fortunate to know that it came from a mine developed by a person from the Southern Kingdom. If the golem had come out of the imperial mercenary’s mine, this place would have turned into a battlefield too, right?”

“Ah…”

Exclamation flowed from Captain Urea’s mouth.

When I thought about it, that seemed right.

If the imperial army had entered the Abyss quickly, there would be no peace as it is now.

“Find the new statue well.”

“Well, then why are you looking for a new statue? Will that make money?”

Captain Urea looked at the young adventurer with servile eyes.

Then Elio replied with a sullen face.

“You know better than I do about making money in Abyss. It’s a personal matter, so don’t worry about it and look for personal information. If you find it in the Akerio Mercenary Corps, the protection fee accumulated so far will be forgiven.”

“omg! Is that true?”

“Have you been deceived? What do you ask?”

“All right! I will definitely find it!”

After those words, Captain Urea returned to the lead.

The movements of the mercenaries, who had been slow for some reason, suddenly became quicker.

Not only that.

In order to get the protection fee to be paid off, Director Urea even operated a separate search team.

Director Urea’s tearful efforts finally blossomed.

The next afternoon, the search team, which had been prowling everywhere, returned with a lot of excitement.

“Captain! I found it!”

“I found a new statue in what appears to be a building site!”

“It’s a goddess statue! Goddess statue!”

The mercenaries of the search team shouted one word at a time.

Surprised, Captain Urrea left the search team with directions and ran to the back.

He started shouting, fearing that the young adventurer might say something else.

“I found a new statue!”

Arriving in front of Elio, Captain Urea glanced at the sword master behind him.

As he hesitated – not knowing whom to report to – Count Larva Omar nodded and pointed at Count Elio Lagoa.

“Our mercenaries found a goddess statue at a building site about 3 kilometers to the west. We are on our way there now. Lucky for you. I wouldn’t have been able to find EXO if I had only gone in that direction.”

In the meantime, Captain Urea secretly revealed the mercenary’s achievements.

It means that since they found it with great effort, they ask for the protection fee to be forgiven as promised.

Elio, who understood his words, smiled and said.

“great job. If the identity is correct, the protection fee will be forgiven as promised. When you get there, pull back so the mercenaries can’t touch anything.”

“All right.”

After bowing to the young adventurer, Captain Urea hurriedly returned to his place.

This is because the mercenaries can bet on the grounds that they tamper with something.

After a while, the Akerio Mercenary Corps stopped.

Soon after, Captain Urea commanded the mercenaries with a loud voice.

“good! good job! Don’t touch anything! Everyone step back from this state! Don’t touch a brick with your hands or even your feet!”

The mercenaries who were acting independently under his command moved in perfect order.

Akerio’s mercenaries settled behind Elio’s party like a folding screen.

Elio and the others slowly walked toward the center.

Dozens of stone pillars, with only the base remaining, suggest that this is a building site.

At the end of the building site, a statue of a goddess with one arm fell off stood lonely.

“Is this Ushas Undra?”

Baron Howard Solon carefully answered Elio’s question.

“I don’t think it’s Ushas Undra.”

“why?”

“Aren’t there snakes wrapped around the goddess’ arms? There is no record of Ushas Undra ever carrying a snake around his arm.”

“Then, are there any goddesses with snakes wrapped around their arms?”

“I don’t know that far.”

Elio looked around at the other party.

Everyone just shrugged, but no one responded.

“What about the Holy Knight? Doesn’t even the Holy Knight know?”

Paladin Almet Hareb replied with an embarrassed face.

“It’s embarrassing, but I don’t know much about the gods of other denominations either.”

“What are you ashamed of? You may not know.”

After comforting the paladin, Elio approached the statue of the goddess and examined it carefully.

I don’t know if I’ll look into it closely, but I think I’ll be able to solve my intuition if I do that.

At that time, Luna Mylus’ mouth, which had been tightly closed, opened.

“She’s Kurea, the goddess of the earth. The one wrapped around her arm isn’t a snake, it’s a basilisk.”

I got an answer, but Elio’s expression wasn’t good.

It was because the more she used her powers, the less time she had.
