Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1139. Did the Marquis know?

As the beauty of Bardos approached, Elio and the others stopped chatting and stared at her.

Ariette Albano is Ramus, who wears a surname, but is not a noble.

Naturally, I bowed my head first and said hello.

“My name is Ariette Albano. Did you like my performance?”

Elio kicked the shin of Fabian, who was staring blankly, under the table.

Fabian, who came to his senses from the stinging blow, stepped forward.

“I like it very much. But what business do we have?”

“Ah, I saw you talking to Marquis Juliana Leola last time. So, if you are close to the Marquis, I would like to greet you.”

Count Larva Omar said with a grave face.

“Why did you think that? Is it because of the Marquis?”

Count Omar of Larva thought Ariette Albano was doing it because she wanted to get close to the Marquis.

Other than that purpose, there is no reason to approach articles you see for the first time.

It must have been embarrassing, but Ariette Albano nodded obediently.

“yes. The Marquis is supporting me. It seems like you’re an acquaintance of the Marquis… and you seem to like my performance, so I’m here to greet you.”

She stood still at the end of the table because the atmosphere of the knights was unusual.

Elio pointed to an empty seat and said to her, who was standing there with a puzzled face.

“Don’t stand, sit down. If anyone sees it, they’ll know it’s scolding.”

Then, without hesitation, Ariette Albano sat next to the young knight.

“thank you.”

Ariette Albano asked as Fabian looked at Viscount Elio Lagoa with envious eyes.

“Where do the knights come from? It’s like people I’m meeting for the first time.”

Then Fabian replied as if he had been waiting.

“This is Count Larva Omar of the Kingdom of Baylem, and the one over there is Viscount Elio Lagoa, lord of Slash Land, and I am the Viscount’s knight, Baron Fabian Cloud.”

“ah! You did. By the way, what kind of relationship do you three have with the Marquis? If you have a question that is difficult to answer, you can just skip it.”

“The Count and I have nothing to do with the Marquis. The Viscount will tell you that part yourself.”

Fabian handed over his burden to Viscount Elio Lagoa.

It’s because I don’t know how much to say about the relationship with the Taboola Magic Tower.

Ariette Albano turned to Viscount Helio Lagoa.

“The Marquis is a junior of a mage I know. That’s how I found out.”

“ah! If you are the Marquis’ senior, you must be very famous. Are you a wizard I know?”

“well. Do you know Cillian Hale?”

“omg! Are you Duke Cillian Hale? I know. Who in the empire doesn’t know his name? By any chance, the wizard the viscount knows… is that him?”

“yes.”

For a moment, Ariette Albano’s mouth fell open.

Duke Cillian Hale was the most feared wizard in the Empire.

The magic corps he led were powerful enough to destroy an entire kingdom.

I was so nervous that Ariette Albano’s back straightened.

When she was more nervous than necessary, Count Larva Omar subtly changed the subject.

“You said you were sponsored by the Marquis, right? What kind of person is the Marquis?”

“You are a kind person. He loves art to the extent that even a Bardos like me would support it.”

“I know that wizards are cold and rational, but it is unexpected that they are benevolent.”

The naive Ariette Albano asked for the bait thrown by the seasoned count.

“It may be so among mages… but to the Bardos, you are like a mother.”

“Whoops. You seem to be cold and rational among wizards.”

As the Count muttered with a gentle face, Ariette Albano said naturally.

“The Taboola Magic Tower is the Empire’s three great magic towers. To lead a place like that, to some extent…”

Count Larva Omar looked back at Viscount Elio Lagoa.

“It is. Lord Lagoa.”

Elio nodded.

The Count borrowed Bardos’ mouth and was saying that ‘Marquis Yuliana Leola looks gentle, but she is a cold and rational person’.

While watching the conversation between the three, Elio quietly stood up from his seat as the atmosphere matured.

“I’ll come see some business.”

Ariette Albano, who understood that as ‘going to the bathroom’, smiled.

With an expression of concern for Fabian, he said a word.

“Take a quick look. Gentle.”

“Foot!”

Ariette Albano couldn’t help laughing and lowered her head.

***

Islands Petropolis Jung-gu.

Taboola Magic Tower.

Around 8:00 in the evening, a young man approached the entrance of the magic tower.

It is Elio who flew from Buk-gu to Jung-gu at once using fortune-telling.

Guards who did not recognize Elio blocked his way.

“Stop. Outsiders are not allowed to enter after 6pm. I don’t know what business you’re here for…”

“Tell the tower owner that Viscount Elio Lagoa has come to visit.”

Fortunately, the head of the security who knew the name of Elio Lagoa hurriedly stepped forward.

“Did you promise to meet the Viscount and the tower lord, even if it’s late?”

“I didn’t promise, but go and tell him. What do you say?”

“Ah yes. Please wait a moment.”

He sent one of the guards into the tower.

After a while, a guard ran out in a hurry.

“omg! omg! I will see you inside.”

Only then did the guards split left and right to clear the road.

Elio made his way through the guards and into the tower.

Elio muttered as he followed the unfamiliar guide to the 7th floor.

“It’s also a job to go up and down to the 7th floor every once in a while. Can’t you make it a little more comfortable?”

Then the guide laughed and said.

“Even if it is not, we are developing a floating plate using the principle of airship. Once it is made, all you have to do is stand still on the float plate.”

“Are you developing it at the Magic Engineering Lab?”

“yes. Production has been completed, and now we know that we are testing stability.”

As we chatted, we found ourselves in front of Tower Owner’s office.

The guide who opened the door for some reason didn’t go in with them and let Elio in.

“welcome. I was surprised by the sudden arrival at such a late hour. Did something urgent happen?”

Marquis Juliana Leola stared at Viscount Elio Lagoa.

Someone else would have told me to come tomorrow.

However, Viscount Elio Lagoa was a knight highly praised by Duke Cillian Hale.

Considering Duke Cillian Hale, who had a strict eye for people, he could accept this much.

As soon as Elio sat across from the Marquis, he said with a smile.

“I went to Obidos county for a prisoner’s work. Witnesses to the murder were wizards? That’s the wizard of the Taboola Mage Tower.”

“Is it?”

“Without any evidence or confession, they brought the prisoner to the Mage Tower only with the testimony of an eyewitness.

“What touch is it?”

She looked at Viscount Elio Lagoa with a curious look on the Marquis Juliana Leola.

My relationship with him so far has been good.

‘Did he say he might be a sword master?’

As a wizard, he is in a position between himself and Count Kaby Kraser.

He would raise his hand if pressed with the power of the magic tower, but he didn’t want to.

Of course, it is ‘yet’.

Fighting against the Sword Master won’t benefit even the Tabula Mage Tower.

“Looks like the wizards killed the forest keepers. And he passed that crime on to a young tamer who couldn’t understand the language, and brought the young tamer to the mage tower. Because we need a Tamer to create Goliath at the Engineering Lab. What do you think?”

“Are you saying that the mages of Taboola Tower committed murder and laid the blame on the wrong prisoner?”

Marquis Yuliana Leola’s face stiffened at her remark beyond imagination.

“It seems so. It was late to check it out, but I visited. If the Marquis helps…”

“I’ll just listen to that. Even if Viscount Elio Lagoa is close to Duke Cillian Hale, what he’s saying now is crossing the line.”

“Why does Duke Cillian Hale’s name appear here?”

“If it weren’t for him, the Viscount and I would never have met. Why would the lord of the Three Great Magic Towers of the Empire meet the Viscount of the North?”

Marquis Yuliana Leola coldly cornered Viscount Elio Lagoa.

It’s a completely different look from the attitude a little while ago when he was welcoming him.

At this point, she hoped that Viscount Elio Lagoa would subside.

The relationship with the magic tower would be awkward, but it had to be so that it would not lead to catastrophe.

Quite a few people would be intimidated, but Elio did not.

‘Wow! It’s as the Count said.’

The Marquis was a gentle but cold person.

The more this happened, the more suspicious the wizards’ testimony became.

Like Fabian said, perhaps the Marquis knew everything.

Thinking that far, he asked directly.

“Did the Marquis know?”

Marquis Yuliana Leola, who was startled, screamed.

“Shut up! The Viscount has trampled on the honor of Taboola Magic Tower with me! You generously gave me information about Celestiality. Is this your return?”

“You didn’t get it for free, so what kind of reward do you want? As requested by the tower lord, I caught a healthy Draco and handed it over.”

“under! He was someone I couldn’t relate to. No matter how sword master you are, I will not tolerate it any longer. After today, the Imperial Mage Tower will not do any business with you. go.”

“Are you saying you want to prevent relationships with other magic towers?”

“Did you think you could trade with other towers even after insulting the Taboola Tower?”

“Contrary to what it looks like, you are a poor person. He was kind and good to Bardos, so I thought he was a person with a good personality. Because the boss is like this, sorcerers go around and commit such evil, right? He is framed for murder, captured, and used as a slave. Whoever’s idea is very creative. Could it be that it came from the tower lord’s head?”

“Shut up! A Viscount or something like that carelessly teasing his mouth in front of the Marquis of the Empire! Do you want to die!”

Marquis Yuliana Leola raised the cane standing next to her and stamped it hard on the floor.

Whoa!

A heavy vibration enveloped the Taboola Magic Tower.

The powerful protective magic circles engraved on the tower were activated all at once.

Soon after, the door to the office opened and dozens of wizards rushed in.

The Marquis ordered Count Kaby Kraser, who was at the forefront of the wizards.

“count! Viscount Elio Lagoa has denounced Tabula Tower as a group of murderers! Gouge out his eyes and tongue and lock him in the abyss!”

Abyss is the nickname for the prison under the Taboola Mage Tower.

Since their relationship with Marquis Yuliana Leola had gone wrong anyway, she intended to thoroughly destroy her opponent.

While the Marquis was talking, Count Kaby Kraser and the wizards, who secretly prepared magic spells, pointed their wands at Viscount Elio Lagoa instead of answering.

At that moment, dozens of fireballs the size of human heads flew towards Elio.

Roaring-! Hwareuk-!

Even though Fireball is only a 3rd circle magic, if ten are gathered together, it can no longer be called a 3rd circle.

The ten fireballs seemed to turn even the Sword Master into a lump of charcoal in an instant.

Elio didn’t just open his eyes and watch.

He, who had experience fighting magicians in Hirhera, escaped with Lee Hyeong-hwan’s divine law when a fireball flew.

Kukuku kung-! Coo Kung-!

The fire ball scattered everything in the office as ashes.

However, the walls of the magic tower were only slightly scorched due to the effect of the protective magic circle.

Elio’s eyes widened when he saw that.

‘Wizards really care about the Mage Tower!’

It’s best to destroy what the enemy cares about. No, that’s the strategy.
