Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1142. Elio frowned at Emily’s words

.

Are you a hunter who catches savages?

Are you saying that contempt isn’t enough, so now you’re hunting like a real beast?

Fabian glanced at Viscount Elio Lagoa and asked again.

“Do they hunt and kill savages? Or sell them as slaves?”

“I heard they sell.”

Stimulated by those words, Elio turned to Count Omar of Larva.

“Are there many savage slaves?”

“Not many. They have to be sold as prisoners of war or for debt to become slaves… As you know, savages do not live with humans. Even ‘selling them as slaves’ is a bit strange.”

“why?”

“The continent thoroughly registers and manages slaves. Slaves who do not go through due process are not recognized as ownership illegally.”

“What do you mean by not being recognized for ownership?”

“It means that it is not registered with the government office. In other words, it means trafficking between individuals. If it’s a sex slave, there might be occasional trafficking between lords… but to hunt and sell ordinary savages is to say that they don’t know how to register and manage slaves.”

“Is it impossible to manage?”

“If you escape from the master’s hand… you can’t find it because you’re not registered as a slave. Even if an escaped savage reports to the police, both the seller and the buyer are arrested for illegal transactions. The illegal slave trade is a far more serious problem than discrimination against barbarians. Maybe Emily got it wrong.”

Elio and Fabian, Count Omar of Larva, looked at Emily.

“It’s real. Even my parents told me to hide when I saw the Trano Covolorum.”

As she stuttered in embarrassment, Fabian stepped out.

“It may be true that they sell wild people. It may be for a different purpose than slavery.”

Elio looked at Fabian with a pouty look.

“What other purpose?”

“Yeah, I don’t know. Isn’t it a little bit like denying the existence of hunters just because the illegal slave trade is difficult?”

“Who is it?”

Elio looked away.

I don’t know why, but it seemed certain that someone was catching and selling savages.

In the meantime, breakfast was over.

The four of them, who had nothing to do in a hurry, spent their time drinking tea.

Maybe an hour passed?

When the conversation was getting boring, the wizards of the Taboola Mage Tower came to visit.

Emily followed the wizards with a mixture of anxiety and anticipation.

Elio, who was staring at Emily as she walked away, said to herself.

“Will you take me there?”

“If you are concerned, follow me. Oh, tomorrow there is a meeting with the owners of the Mage Tower in Buk-gu.”

“You spoke well. You can come and go.”

“Am I? You want me to go to the county of Obidos and then come back?”

“uh. why? Are you busy?”

“There is no such thing… but it takes ten days round trip. What about looking for the Celestial Star?”

“Are you looking for the Celestial Star? I will find it.”

“Two rather than one, three rather than two. Don’t you know?”

“is it. Then don’t.”

Elio nodded his head.

At that time, Count Larva Omar, who was thinking about something, threw a word.

“But isn’t that a little strange?”

“What?”

“Wizards. It takes five hours by carriage from Jung-gu to Buk-gu. It’s 10 o’clock now… I hear that you left at 6 am. I don’t think it’s something to be in such a hurry.”

“Maybe it was because I was sorry.”

“If Lord Lagoa had left Emily in the tower, would she have left at 6:00 in the morning?”

“…”

Elio and Fabian looked at each other strangely.

Certainly it was.

They thought the wizards would arrive around noon.

Still, I wouldn’t be offended that I was late.

But why?

At that point, Elio and Fabian couldn’t continue their thoughts.

Earl Larva Omar, who lived amid conspiracies and schemes as a great nobleman, shrugged and said,

“Of course, it may be my excessive suspicion. I can’t shake the feeling that the Mage Tower is in more haste than necessary.”

Elio, who nodded in agreement, turned his gaze to Fabian.

“Fabian.”

“yes.”

“You said you were from the Ranger unit, right?”

“yes. In the Pontiac Company in the Montanosa Mountains, which boasts history and tradition…” “

Enough. Can you secretly follow the wizards?”

“It is possible if you keep enough distance.”

Fabian shouted.

It would have been impossible if he had been a simple mana user, but it was possible now that he had become a sword beginner.

With the five senses greatly improved, it was only necessary not to miss the group of wizards.

“Take a sneak peek behind me. Because you have to get down to make money.”

“What about the Viscount? Are you trying to uncover the secrets of the Celestial Castle by yourself?”

“Will even the Mage Tower be able to uncover the secrets that have not been solved for thousands of years if I uncover them? I’ll join you right there after the meeting with the owners of the Magic Tower. Let’s put our heads together.”

Then Count Omar of Larva intervened.

“Sir Lagoa Then I will move along with Baron Fabian. In the unlikely event of a problem, the baron alone may not be able to do it.”

Elio nodded happily.

“Thank you for doing so. The inn expenses are like that, and I keep getting indebted to them.”

“Thank you. It’s not like that. I consider it fortunate to have learned the small heavenly circuit (小周天).”

Count Larva Omar looked at Viscount Elio Lagoa with burning eyes.

Where is only a small sky circuit!

Everything Viscount Elio Lagoa was a source of inspiration.

So I plan on sticking by his side somehow until he kicks me out.

Fabian, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, asked.

“We are a day apart, can you find us? Even though your eyes are dark.”

“It follows the main road to the southwest. For a day or so… it’s not difficult.”

Contrary to his words, his expression was dark.

It was just when Fabian, who had been watching Elio with anxious eyes, was about to wake up.

“wait for a sec. I had a good idea.”

Elio pulled out the Thunder Sword and handed it to Fabian.

“Take this.”

Blinding, Fabian pulled out his longsword and placed it on the table.

“Then keep mine. By the way, would changing knives help?”

“Oh, my aura and that sword are connected. So it’s not a job to look for you.”

“Is it connected?”

Fabian inspected the Thunder Sword here and there.

Come to think of it, the sword body and handle are integral as if they were made of casting?

However, it only looked like it, and the weight seemed to be lighter than any other longsword.

“Does it seem a bit lighter than my longsword?”

“okay?”

Elio didn’t explain further.

I made it roughly similar by eye guessing, but it seems that the weight is slightly different.

Shortly thereafter, Fabian and Count Omar of Larva left Fermosa Estella.

Left alone, Elio took out a piece of paper with the poem written on it and began to read it.

He intended to memorize this poem before meeting the tower owners in Buk-gu.

***

Next day.

Islands Petropolis North District.

Dionysi Magic Tower.

Elio went to the Dionysi Magic Tower early around 11:00.

It was around 11:30 when he arrived at the entrance of the Magic Tower.

The guard let him pass when he said that he had come at the invitation of the lord of the Abraxas Mage Tower.

There was no separate invitation for the regular meeting of the pagoda owners, so they left it to the guide on the 1st floor of the Mage Tower to verify its authenticity.

It was possible because there were extremely few outsiders looking for the magic tower.

After entering the magic tower, Elio walked towards the guide.

As the article I had never seen before approached, the guide asked with a formal smile.

“How did you come?”

“I am Viscount Elio Lagoa. At the invitation of the tower lord of the Abraxas Magic Tower, I came to participate in the regular meeting of the Northern Magic Tower.”

“Ah, you are the Viscount of Lagoa. Even if it wasn’t, I was contacted. wait a minute. I’ll call someone to guide me. It’s a regular meeting of tower owners today, so I can’t empty the first floor.”

The guide didn’t even ask, but kindly added an explanation.

A wizard in a robe came down without knowing what the guide did.

“Are you Viscount Elio Lagoa?”

“yes.”

“I’ll take you to the meeting room. Please follow me.”

The male wizard looked to be in his forties, but he was extremely polite.

Elio followed him, muttering to himself, ‘The northern wizards are kind’.

As Elio followed the 40-year-old wizard into the meeting room on the third floor, the chatter stopped.

“I brought Viscount Elio Lagoa.”

After the introduction, the wizard in his forties left the meeting room without looking back.

Abraxas Mage’s Tower lord Balter Ord rose from his seat.

“Viscount Lagoa! Welcome! Even if it’s not, I was just talking about Viscount Lagoa. Let me briefly introduce you to the tower owners of the Northern District.”

Walter Ord introduced the tower owners in the order closest to their location.

After the introduction of the pagoda owners, he asked as if floating.

“Sir Lagoa, have you heard the latest news about the Taboola Magic Tower?”

“The latest news?”

“It seems that the Taboola Magic Tower has blown all over it, leaving only the 6th floor. That upset the magicians of the system.”

“Ah…”

Elio hesitated.

It was because I didn’t want to incur the Mage Tower’s antipathy before I even got information about the Celestial Castle.

Walter Ord quickly changed the subject when Viscount Elio Lagoa didn’t say anything.

“I strongly insisted that the theme of this regular meeting be Celestiality. There was talk of discussing the Taboola Magic Tower, but it wasn’t a matter that could only be known after talking about it a hundred times. Oh, of course, there is no answer, but the sky is the same…”

At that moment, Alexio Berta, the owner of the Dionish Magic Tower, cut off his words.

“We haven’t decided yet what to do on the agenda. To be exact, it’s a state of tension in half and half.”

Elio glanced at Alexio Berta.

There was a subtle backlash in the way he spoke.

I don’t know who it was directed at, but it seemed formidable.

In this case, the correct method is the answer.

Elio said while slowly looking around the tower owners.

“Why don’t we do this because opinions are split half and half? I know why Taboola Magic Tower became the way it was. If you give me information about Celestial Star, I will give you information about Taboola Magic Tower. How is it?”

Then Alexio Berta immediately walked away.

“The Viscount’s information may be at the level of rumors floating around in the market… but if that happens, aren’t we losing money?”

“I guarantee that it is true, not a rumor. I’ll ask the opposite. Do the Tower Lords have any solid information about Celestiality?”

For a moment, the Tower Owners looked like they were chewing shit.

It is unpleasant to dare to bargain with the counts on the subject of one’s own work.

Some tower owners even glared at Viscount Elio Lagoa.

The sociable atmosphere became tense in an instant.

Then Balter Ord, the owner of the Abraxas Mage Tower, intervened.

“Come on, let’s go on our way. Viscount Lagoa is not one to lie. The lord of the Magic Tower, Viscount Dionysi of Lagoa, has information about the Celestial Castle. Trust us and go.”

Elio looked at Alexio Berta.

All in all, the owner of the tower, who was grumbling a while ago, has information.

He was slightly annoyed, but took a deep breath to calm his anger.

“All right. If you say so, believe me. I will first tell you what happened in the Taboola Tower. I hope that the Dionysi Tower’s information about the sky is as clear as I am.”
