Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1296. Don’t believe me, look at the situation.

Elio was dizzy at Luna Mylus’ words.

It was Mana Phrases, known as the creator of this world, who wished for the deaths of Kama Debias (Human of Heaven) and Ushas Undra (Golden Snake).

By the way, Ushas Undra was an errand boy for Mana Phthras, the creator god.

“So Mana Phthras and Ushas Undra were on the same side?”

“It must have been at first. So Ushas Undra must have taken the lead in pioneering the Abyss.”

“I’m getting dizzy. What is the steel golem in the Abyss?”

“That is a story not recorded even in ancient history. Only the gods will know.”

Luna Mylus kept her mouth shut at that part.

I thought I might know if I thought about it deeply, but it only accelerated the union with the goddess, so I didn’t try to dig into it.

Elio also quickly changed the topic when he heard that ‘only the gods know’.

He also wants Luna Mylus to remain by his side for a long time.

“Viscount Norton. I want to see the steel golem move, is that possible?”

“That’s not okay.”

“why?”

Elio stared at him at the unexpected resolute refusal.

Seeing that they said no to coming here, it seemed like there must be a reason.

“I don’t know about the movement of the steel golem because it is the domain of magicians. The kingdom’s magic engineer has to come and take care of it.”

“aha. Then, if it breaks down or gets damaged during battle, how do I repair it?”

“If the Kingdom Army requests damaged parts, they will send them to you. If it fits, it will stick on its own.”

“If only the part fits, it sticks? I heard there are parts that don’t stick?”

“Even in the same part, there are subtle differences in shape. Those are listed separately. In the case of completed steel golems, the steel parts are highly versatile. So it is not difficult to replace the damaged part. Of course, if you have steel parts.”

“To use the steel golem, you must work hard to mine steel parts in the mine, right?”

“That’s why we’re trying to further strengthen the control of the Abyss.”

Elio nodded and spoke to the group.

“I have no more questions. If you want to know more about the mine or the iron golem, ask Viscount Norton now.”

After his words, as expected, Count Larva Omar and Fabian clung to Viscount Norton Sherwood.

Since the steel golem is active in the war against the Empire, it seems that there are a lot of questions.

Unlike the two active knights, the other adventurers did not show much interest.

Paladin Almet Hareb was also amused, perhaps because it had nothing to do with the Church.

Suddenly, Elio asked Luna Mylus.

“Don’t you have any questions about the saintess?”

“I know what to do.”

“Saint Sister likes to learn and learn everything.”

“This is not my world. It’s a waste of time to care about that.”

A forlorn smile appeared on her face.

These days, you can understand everything you see without trying.

It means that the boundary with the goddess has been broken.

The time of unity, predicted to be in about a year, is right around the corner.

It must have been caused by excessive use of divine power to heal Elio.

She didn’t want to waste the little time she had left.

Besides, the more he delved into new knowledge, the faster his time would run out.

So even if you were a little curious, it was better to ignore it and pretend you didn’t see it.

Viscount Norton Sherwood brought Count Larva Omar and Fabian to the iron golem and babbled fervently.

After a while, Count Larva Omar and Fabian returned with faces that had obtained everything they wanted.

Elio asked Fabian.

“So what did you get?”

“no. They say they don’t know all the crucial things.”

“It is not surprising. Don’t you know if you’re a magician? What would a knight wielding only a sword know?”

“I asked if I could get one of the steel parts, but I only received a lot of swearing.”

“Will you give it to me?”

“I don’t give. Sir Lagoa, ask for one. If Lord Lagoa asks for it, he will give it to you.”

“What are you going to do with a piece of it?”

“What are you doing? If it’s no use for you, can’t you sell it to the Empire or the Northern Kingdom?”

“I am not a merchant.”

“You know that. But you haven’t declined to do anything that makes money, have you?”

“It was because I had to go looking for Kama Debias and Ushas Undra. Now that I know where I am, I have no money to spend. There are many places to extort money.”

It seemed like he could get hundreds of gold just by circling the Abyss.

It’s not because there are many treasures, but it’s like that when you get money from the mercenary group who are arguing.

Fabian understood Elio’s meaning, but did not give up.

“With one steel part, you don’t have to go through the trouble of extorting money.”

“Why is that hard work? How fun is that?”

Fabian, who knew Elio’s eccentric personality, couldn’t refute.

It was because, unlike other aristocrats who pretended to be quite decent, Count Elio Lagoa enjoyed quarrels – like the idiots abandoned by the aristocratic family.

In the end, Fabian had to give up getting the steel parts.

‘I thought I’d give steel parts to the northern part or the empire and get a fief.’

In the current situation, one steel part can be a huge achievement.

But what about Count Omar of Larva?

With his own skills, he could not carry a single piece of iron at will.

Eventually, Elio’s party left the mining town with Viscount Norton Sherwood sending them off.

Fabian glanced at the mine several times before his vision was blocked by the wooden fence.

Seeing him look like a pooping dog, Elio grinned while holding onto his stomach.

“Keukkeuk! Holy lady, look at that guy’s greedy face. That expression of regret is exactly the same as that of old Sim, isn’t it?”

“Don’t tease me too much. Anyone who has seen steel parts can do that.”

“Anyone? Others take care of steel parts.”

“It’s because he’s afraid of Viscount Sherwood.”

“Lord Omar, too?”

“He is detached. You shouldn’t compare the mind of a sword master to an ordinary person.”

In fact, Count Larva Omar had already emptied his mind since taking the steel parts as if robbing them could be a diplomatic problem.

Luna Mylus, who possesses transcendental wisdom, guessed so, but it was wrapped up as ‘transcendence’ purely for the face of Count Larva Omar.

As you climbed to the top of Mount Petra, the size of the mine became smaller.

It goes without saying that the frigid guard post also disappeared.

In particular, the mine run by the mercenary guild was open to the surprise of Elio and his party.

Most mine operations were run by kingdoms or mercenary guilds.

Some of the mercenary guilds had their bases in the Empire, but in their case, they were quite wary of the appearance of outsiders.

They do so because they fear that the flames of war between the Empire and the Southern Kingdom will fly to them.

Elio and his party, who had gone all the way to the Ferdom Mine, showed no interest in other mines.

The mercenaries in the mine didn’t bother chasing after them, so the road to ‘Skull Valley’ was smooth.

At dusk, Elio and his party finally reached the summit of Mount Petra.

To be precise, it is one of several mountain peaks that stretch out like a dragon’s spine.

Elio murmured as he watched Mount Petra dyed red by the setting sun.

“Yah! It is spectacular.”

From the endless soft ridge to the unidentified flock of birds flying over it.

It was so beautiful that I couldn’t tell if it was real or fantasy.

Fabian, who was looking down at the mountain beside him, grumbled.

“If I had known Mount Petra was this wide, I would have brought Merdef. I don’t know if I’ll be able to find the Valley of Skulls.”

“You don’t know what? If you just go down the road, you will find the Valley of Skulls.”

“And what if there is a fork in the road?”

“Isn’t the crossroads the road? Just follow me.”

“That’s why Lord Lagoa gets lost every time.”

“Why are you blaming me? Am I giving directions? You and Tinelock are doing it.”

“Yes, I said this because I was worried that the person giving the directions might get lost. Be honest. Sir Lagoa, did you know that Mount Petra is so wide?”

“It’s my first time coming here, how do you know?”

“I didn’t know either. Even if the mountain is wide, it is too wide. It’s not even that the milestones are right. Perfect for getting lost.”

“It’s late today, so take a rest. Let’s talk tomorrow in a bright place with a clear mind.”

“I still have a clear mind.”

Luna Mylus spoke as Fabian felt the burden of being a guide on his first trip.

“Nothing to worry about. Looking at the mountain, it looks like a dragon bent over a rare. The summit we are standing on is near the head, and the torso extends over there. The place where the tail is facing is connected to Exodo… The Valley of Skulls, the passage to the unexplored land, is in this direction at the back of the head.”

She pointed her finger at the ridge on the left.

All eyes followed her fingers to the ridge on the left.

indeed!

If you hit it into the sea, it gave off a dark aura of death, as if you were looking at deep water.

That time Skull Valley.

About ninety mercenaries armed with magic guns and swords and shields entered the valley.

It is a group of three mercenaries who go to unexplored lands at the request of the black magician Charles Manson.

The leader of the Heldok Mercenary Corps, who was in the lead, shouted lowly to his subordinates on the left and right.

“If you see a beast, don’t kill it, just drive it away! I mean leave no traces! When you must fight, use a sword! Got it!”

“yes!”

The mercenaries who answered briefly looked around with hawk-like eyes.

After that, the Viper and Slatter mercenaries followed in an orderly fashion.

The three mercenaries passed through the Valley of Skulls cautiously with nervous faces.

Surprised by the heavily armed humans, the beasts ran away without making a sound.

It was right after the wave, so I couldn’t see any monsters.

Heaven helped, and there were no collisions with beasts or monsters throughout the valley.

Immediately after passing through the valley, the three mercenaries each moved to one place.

Eventually, Helldok left the center, Viper Slatter, and the mercenaries finished an ambush on the right.

The vice-captain of the Helldok Mercenary Corps whispered to the commander.

“I don’t feel good.”

“why?”

“The magic gun I received from the client is 60 tablets and 200 excitium, isn’t it?”

“How is that?”

“That’s equivalent to the strength of the southern kingdoms in the Abyss.”

“so?”

“Don’t you think you are over-armed to catch two sword masters?”

“Are you saying there’s even a Grand Master?”

“What if the Empire sent Archduke Knauf to investigate the Abyss?”

“If Archduke Mark Knauf moved, would the Abyss be this quiet? There must be hundreds of knights ascetics following the Archduke.”

“Is that so?”

“Are we fools? As you can see, there are a lot of trainees. Then you can quietly withdraw. If the opponent is the real Archduke Knauf, even the client cannot say that it is a breach of contract.”

“I will only trust the captain.”

“Don’t trust me, look at the situation.”

Afterwards, the Heldok mercenary leader sat down with his back leaning against a nearby tree trunk.

The string of tension that had been pulled tight was loosened, and fatigue came.

He muttered to himself as if he had promised.

‘You have to look at the situation. situation.’
