Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1135. That’s a little different from the truth.

Marquis Yuliana Leola looked at Elio with a warm face.

Unraveling the secret of Celestiality has been a long-cherished wish of the Mage Tower.

Could it be that he left three research papers on one side of an ancient poem called ‘Cheonggongseong’, which no one knows who wrote it.

Besides, Marquis is personally a lover of poetry and music.

It was a situation that she couldn’t help but pay attention to.

Elio, who was looking at the Marquis who was excited by himself with an embarrassed face, politely requested.

“please.”

As if waiting, Marquis Yuliana Leola’s lips opened.

perforation.

who is there

The sun rises in Aurorai, where the sky and the earth part.

The Lion of Hyperion

guards the green island surrounded by the sea.

O stranger,

fight alone against all the gods.

Thelema Immortal Power!

You who come from the ends of the earth will find no place to lay your head even when darkness descends.

After reciting, the Marquis was silent for a while in the sadness of the last phrase.

Elio’s head rests on an ordinary shaft.

The Marquis called it a short poem, but by his standards it was a long poem.

Of course, there is no way you can listen to it once and memorize it.

As Elio scratched his head with a confused face, Marquis Yuliana Leola smiled and took out a piece of paper she had prepared under the table.

He said it as if he would write it down here, but it seems he had prepared it in advance.

“It’s an ancient poem called ‘The Celestial Star,’ translated into the common language of the continent.”

Elio picked up the paper.

It was short enough that the entire poem could be read at a glance.

“Here, ‘the place where heaven and earth divide’ is called Aurora, right?”

“that’s right. According to the research paper, Aurorai is an ancient place name. It is a place that sticks out like an awl at the eastern end of the continent.”

“What about the messenger of Hyperion?”

“That means a griffin with the body of a lion and the wings of an eagle.”

“Griffin?”

“An animal that contains dark ether is called a monster or monster, right? An animal that contains mana is a divine beast. According to ancient records, griffins are said to be the highest level divine beasts, capable of tearing even monsters apart. Even demons are said to be powerful enough to hide when griffins appear.”

“Where is the green island surrounded by the sea?”

“That part has not been revealed. I’ve searched the eastern seas, but no one has found the green island yet. So there are people who say it is a real island, and there are people who say it is a metaphor.”

“What does Thelema mean?”

“It means ‘will’ in the ancient language. They say that the will is an immortal force.”

“Are there any parts that are difficult to interpret?”

Elio tilted his head.

But why haven’t wizards been able to unlock the secret of this poem for thousands of years?

“It is not a difficult poem. There is hardly any part to memorize. However, even after searching the eastern sea, I couldn’t find the green island… In the end, the wizards also thought ‘originally there was no answer’ and decided to cover it.”

“You mean there is no perforation?”

“Rather… don’t you think that poem is a little strange?”

“Where are you going?”

“If it is heavenly, then it is a poem related to the sun god.”

“Yes.”

“Look at the beginning and the end of the poem. ‘The Sun Rises’ and ‘Even When Darkness Comes Down’.”

“Is that strange?”

Elio narrowed his eyes.

It seems to mean morning and evening, but I don’t know where it is strange.

“When darkness descends, it means ‘the sun god has been defeated’. But all the poems praising the sun god say ‘the sun defeats the darkness’.”

“I heard and saw it.”

“If it’s not to praise the sun god, what is it? Is it like a prophecy about the death of the sun god?”

Elio received the words of Marquis Yuliana Leola, who had been muttering inadvertently.

“So you’re saying you’re going to be killed by a stranger?”

“I could see something like that. A stranger from the ends of the earth… Is it a prophecy that he will die? I don’t know. This is why there are three research books, right?”

Marquis Yuliana Leola sighed as if she was tired of it.

Elio asked with a puzzled face.

“Then is the last phrase addressed to a stranger?”

“I will.”

“What do you mean by ‘I can’t find a place to lay my head’ there?”

“You have to lie down to put your head down. Do you usually lie down at home? So, it means home or home. It could be a haven or something.”

“So you’re saying you can’t return home even if you kill the sun god? It’s like dog crap.”

For an instant, Elio, who was ‘crying!’ Grinded.

To Elio, who thought of the stranger as himself, it was like a thunderstorm.

“Poetry is just poetry, so don’t get excited. The analogy is up to interpretation. Seeing that you immerse yourself in ancient poetry, do you think you have a talent for that too?”

“Not at all. The person who is full of talent in that area is my concubine.”

“…”

Marquis Yuliana Leola, who knew the sad past of Viscount Elio Lagoa, quickly turned her words around.

“You don’t have to read the research papers. The contents of the research book are contained in the conversations the Viscount and I have had so far.”

“yes.”

Elio nodded his head.

The Marquis was not one to ask for anything else from himself as a research paper.

***

After a while, Elio went downstairs again with the guide.

By the time he and the guide passed the sixth floor.

Suddenly, a girl ran frantically screaming from afar.

“Help me!”

Elio looked at the girl with startled eyes.

The girl with horns on her head like a deer was a beast.

It’s time for Elio to stop seeing the beastman for the first time.

Wizards rushed like the wind from the end of the hallway and grabbed the girl and dragged her away.

It happened while taking a breath before the girl jumped out and the wizards caught her again.

Elio, standing with a puzzled face, asked the guide.

“What is it?”

Then the guide, Titos, replied with a smile as if nothing had happened.

“I am a prisoner who works at the Magic Engineering Lab. Occasionally, they take advantage of the gaps when surveillance is neglected and jump out. I can’t even get out of this hallway at all.”

“Why does a prisoner who works fine run out asking for help?”

“Oh, that part needs a bit of explanation. The prisoners who work in the Mage Tower are serious criminals. Among the prisoners, engineers can choose between ‘The Imperial Prison’ and ‘Working in the Mage Tower’.”

“Is it like correctional labor punishment?”

“That’s right. Most of them try to run away before they finish their days.”

“How many years do you work for a serious crime?”

“It ranges from twenty to thirty years to life in prison.”

“You look young too… What crime did you commit to become a felon?”

“Most of them are murder or treason.”

“hmm!”

A groan escaped Elio’s mouth.

The girl’s eyes were too pure to say that it was murder and treason.

“I need to see the tower lord again for a while.”

When Elio turned around, Titos took him back to the Tower Master’s office.

***

Tower owner’s office.

Despite the sudden return of Elio, who had left after saying goodbye, Marquis Yuliana Leola welcomed him.

“Do you need a research paper?”

“no. I came back because I wanted to find out something.”

“What is it?”

“I was going down a while ago and saw a prisoner girl on the 6th floor crying out for help. It had small antlers on its head like a deer?”

“ah! It looks like you met an engineer who works at the Magic Engineering Lab?”

“Are there any technicians that young?”

“The younger the tamer, the better he communicates with the beast.”

“okay. I want to know what the prisoner’s crime was.”

“Most of the prisoners who come to the Mage Tower must have committed murder or treason… Wait a minute. Titos?”

At the call of the Marquis, Titos, who had been waiting behind him, knelt.

“yes.”

“You must have seen the prisoner with the viscount, right? Go to the Magic Engineering Lab now and bring the data on that beastman.”

“yes!”

As Titos went outside, the Marquis pointed a chair at Elio.

“Sit down for a moment. It won’t take long.”

“Sorry for bothering you.”

Elio – intending to go after checking it out – sat down without hesitation.

The guide returned in 15 minutes.

Titos presented the document with both hands to Marquis Juliana Leola.

“My name is Emily. You’re only fourteen years old and you’ve committed two murders? Would you like to see for yourself?”

The Marquis put down the document he was reading in front of Viscount Elio Lagoa.

Elio checked the documents with a stiff face.

I knew it! Names, ages, and terrible crimes were clearly written on it.

“Hmm! His face didn’t look like that at all… It’s surprising.”

Then, Marquis Yuliana Leola said with a wry smile.

“The mindset of a beastman is different from that of a human being. Because they can’t go against their instincts, they are far more violent than humans. If you say pure, you mean pure… Anyway, the result came out badly.”

“Looked good. thank you.”

After closing the papers, Elio stood up and left Tabula Tower without looking back.

***

Islands Petropolis Buk.

Fermosa Estella.

Elio returned to Fermosa Estella in time for lunch.

Just in time, Fabian, who was having a meal with Count Larva Omar, waved to Elio.

Fabian jokingly said as Elio collapsed into an empty seat.

“You look out of energy? Are you hungry?”

“I’m feeling a bit grumpy.”

“why? What happened at the Taboola Tower?”

“What little?”

Fabian, startled for a moment, raised his voice.

“Yes? What happened? So, is the Magic Tower all right?”

“You’re fine, do you think I broke it?”

“If you turn a blind eye to the Viscount’s personality, is the Magic Tower a problem? The one who will destroy the palace too.”

Count Larva Omar couldn’t stand it and interrupted Fabian’s pointless voice.

“What happened at the Magic Tower?”

Elio told me a story about a beast tribe girl he met while going down the tower.

“…But when I found out, he was a heinous criminal who had committed two murders. At a young age, his eyes were kind, but I guess you wouldn’t know just by looking at his face.”

“Beasts, unlike humans, have stronger instincts than reason. So sometimes, unexpected accidents happen.”

“The tower owner said something similar.”

At that time, Fabian, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, raised an objection.

“That is a bit far from the truth. When I served in the ranger unit in the Montanosa Mountains, I was close to the beastmen. So I know a little bit about them.”

“Different?”

In response to Elio’s question, Fabian said with an unwavering face.

“Yes, people do not know and say that. Beasts have different characteristics depending on the race. It is true that instinct is stronger than reason. But you said that the girl had horns growing on her head, right?”

“uh. It was like a young deer’s antlers when it was about a span wide.”

“Then the deer are right. Deer are timid and do not mix well with humans. In particular, women are weak-minded and do not quarrel with others. A deer girl like that committed two murders? Do you think that makes sense?”

“Isn’t that possible instinctively?”

“That instinct is far more non-violent than that of humans. The deer tribe.”

“Oh yeah?”

At Fabian’s determined words, Count Larva Omar nodded.

People who have been close to the Beasts seem to think so.

“I heard you ran to the Viscount and asked for his life?”

“huh.”

“If prisoners commit a crime, they must pay for their sins. A deer who kills two people and gets caught will never run away.”

“Then what documents did I see?”

“I don’t know. If it’s real, the sky will be amazed…”

“You mean it could be fake?”

Elio looked at Fabian with bewildered eyes.

He could have done such a thing in the Taboola Magic Tower, also known as the Three Great Magic Towers.
