Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1144. Did you have a nightmare?

Wizards refer to themselves as ‘those who prepare’.

They prepare for the dangers to come, as much as it is a habit.

Of course, there are people who have less and people who have more depending on their personality.

Linda Kelly, a 4th circle mage, was obsessive about preparation.

She gave the beast girl warnings whenever she could, but always thought it wasn’t enough.

It is the same now.

Emily nodded vigorously and said yes, but Linda Kelly was not trusting the young prisoner in front of her.

It was like that just a little while ago.

Today, Goliath can be said to be the core research of the Mage Tower.

It was not a word that a young prisoner would casually spit out.

However, the young prisoner boasted about Goliath as if he were boasting.

‘Dangerous.’

Linda Kelly glanced at the young prisoner.

I thought I would regret it forever if I let it go like this.

***

At that time, Fabian and Count Omar of Larva were also preparing for homelessness.

All I had to do to prepare was to lay a blanket on a flat surface.

The two sat facing each other without even lighting a bonfire because of the wizards.

The two, who had nothing to do until they fell asleep, turned the ‘small heavenly circuit’ at the same time.

It was Fabian who opened his eyes first.

He looked at Count Omar of Larva with envious eyes.

The person who taught the ‘Little Sky Circuit’ was himself, but the time he was immersed in meditation was incomparably longer than the Count.

After a while, the count opened his eyes and Fabian’s gaze met.

Fabian said with an embarrassed face.

“You seem to have been running the ‘Little Sky Circuit’ longer today than yesterday?”

“is it? It’s the same time as a moment to me. It’s strange to hear that it’s long.”

“The Viscount said to do it only in a safe place. Seeing the Count, I can see why.”

“How long have I been doing it?”

“Even after I finished meditating, you did another 15 minutes. It probably took about 30 minutes.”

“It’s 30 minutes defenselessly. Now I have to think about safety.”

“By the way, I thought the Viscount would be joining us today… I think he will come tomorrow?”

“I don’t know. Because he is like the wind.”

At that time, a lump of cloud descended from the night sky along with a gale.

Coming out of the clouds was Viscount Elio Lagoa.

Fabian said with a surprised face.

“Are you really here? How did you do it? It’s in the middle of the night for those with dark eyes.”

Elio pulled out the longsword he was wearing around his waist and threw it at Fabian.

“I told you. My sword and I are connected.”

Fabian returned Elio’s longsword with a dubious look on his face.

Eventually, Elio took out three wooden chairs and a table from Mahadam.

Fabian and Count Omar of Larva shook off the blankets on which they sat and put them in their backpacks.

Fabian sat down on his chair and said.

“I think it’s good to go around with the Viscount. I don’t think I can live on the bare floor anymore.”

“You can carry it on the wagon.”

“Isn’t that too noticeable to people?”

“If you want to seek comfort while traveling, you have to pay that much.”

“Is that so?”

As the chatter between the two faded away, Count Larva Omar asked.

“Did you get some information about Celestial Castle from the northern tower owners?”

“I heard that there is a record that the first owner of the Dionish Magic Tower witnessed the Celestial Castle in the East Sea.”

“Are you Donghae?”

“In ancient times, the sea to the east of the continent was called the East Sea. Now it is the Fiesta Sea.”

“It looks like the Celestial Star is in the sea to the east of the continent? Didn’t the place name Aurora appear in the poem obtained from the Taboola Mage Tower?”

“I think so. It seems to have something to do with the ‘Sea of Demons’ in the Fiestra Sea.”

For a moment, the count’s face was tense.

“’Evil Sea’? It’s a really dangerous place. The kingdom as well as the navy of the empire are avoiding it.”

“Are you avoiding warships too?”

“There are dozens of warships missing there. We know that there are more than 100 merchant ships. The fishing boat doesn’t count at all.”

“There is a record of seeing the Celestial Star there.”

Then the Count rather doubted the Mage Tower.

“You said that the place that gave you that information was the Dionish Magic Tower, right? Did something happen with the Dionish Magic Tower before that?”

“What are you talking about?”

“They collided like the Taboola Magic Tower…”

“I did fight with the head of the Dionysi Magic Tower. People are acting crookedly.”

“Perhaps the ‘Evil Sea’ is a word that was brought up to harm Lord Lagoa. The ‘Sea of Demons’ is known as the Sea of Death.”

“Are you saying you lied?”

“I think it’s more likely that it was.”

“Hmm!”

Elio tore off his beard, which had grown little by little lately.

After listening to the Count’s words, it was the same.

This is because Alexio Berta was far from goodwill or good will.

Fabian, who had been listening quietly, interrupted.

“I wouldn’t have said anything out of the ordinary. If there really is a perforation star in the eastern sea… it is worth suspecting the ‘Evil Sea’. Isn’t that the only place to hide for thousands of years?”

Elio and the Count did not object.

Because there was no better place to hide something than the ‘Evil Sea’.

Count Larva Omar muttered to himself.

“Aurorae Fiestra Sea ‘Sea of Demons’… It seems that the destination is clear.”

Elio, who nodded, turned his gaze to Fabian.

“Are you okay with Emily?”

“Yes, so far the wizards haven’t done anything special either.”

“But isn’t it too far away?”

“It should be this far. If you fall under the search spell, they will come to see who you are.”

“Are you okay here?”

“It’s not just us coming and going.”

Fabian pointed his finger around.

There were no villages, so there were groups camping here and there.

It was a sight that was hard to find in the North.

“Are they merchants?”

“Looking at the loaded wagon, it seems like that.”

“It’s a scene that reminds me of my hometown.”

As Elio muttered inadvertently, Count Larva Omar glanced back.

This is because the savage tribe is far from the top to live on its own.

Fabian, who was watching the front, asked.

“How long are you going to watch over Emily?”

“I’ll just watch until we reach the beast village.”

Fabian shook his head excitedly.

“Isn’t that enough to follow you to the end?”

“Imagine that your daughter is wandering in such a harsh world.”

“Is your daughter, by any chance, the same age as Emily?”

“A little younger than Emily.”

“okay.”

Fabian was unmarried, but he seemed to know Viscount Elio Lagoa’s heart.

***

Imperial Monarchy.

Duchy of Pommernburg.

Countess of Obidos.

Receiving the setting sun, a group of travelers entered Obidos County.

The wizards of Tabula Tower and Emily.

After seeing the sign of the Earldom of Obidos, Emily’s expression brightened noticeably.

As they entered the county, the road became quiet and only the wizards could be seen.

As the sun went down, wizards were busy preparing for homelessness.

In the meantime, Linda Kelly worked her search magic.

Paa-!

When there was no reaction from outsiders within one kilometer in all directions around him, his heart pounded once.

‘Now is the last chance to lay hands on the beast…’

Killing on the spot could be a problem later, so I had to put up with it.

The cleanest thing is the curse.

If they die from suffering, no one will doubt the wizards.

‘It shouldn’t take too long to be sick.’

If another wizard sees it before he dies, it could be revealed that it’s a curse.

‘A month would be suitable.’

That’s a period of time where it wouldn’t be strange if he died.

After death, no one other than Viscount Elio Lagoa could recognize the curse.

Linda Kelly called Emily, who was resting, to her barracks.

“Did you call me?”

“Now, tomorrow I will return to my hometown forest. How are you feeling?”

“great.”

“I would like to give you a gift in return for your two years of hard work.”

“A gift?”

Emily, relaxed with her hometown nearby, looked at the wizard with innocent eyes.

Linda Kelly pulled a bronze ring from her bosom.

It was more certain to use a medium than to just cast a curse.

She intended to use a common bronze ring as a medium.

“Okay, give me your hand.”

Emily held out her hand, looking at the bronze ring.

Sooin didn’t hesitate at all because she liked accessories.

Linda Kelly quietly chanted as she placed the bronze ring on Emily’s finger.

“Perna Torres (die in pain).”

The bronze ring was stained red and slowly returned to its original color.

For a moment, Emily closed her eyes tightly in the dizzying vertigo.

However, the dizziness soon disappeared like a lie.

Linda Kelly sent Emily outside when she opened her eyes.

***

Elio, who had been dozing on the bed since early evening, jumped up and stood up.

Fabian, taken aback by that, opened his eyes wide and asked.

“Why is that? Did you have any nightmares?”

“Emily is dead.”

“Yes? Really? Did the wizards kill you?”

Fabian, who had been sitting and resting, jumped up and began to arm himself.

Count Larva Omar also sewed the clothes he had taken off.

However, Elio was sitting on the bed and did not move.

Fabian, who was the first to prepare for departure, spoke to Elio.

“Aren’t you going to get revenge?”

“It’s not that I’m dead now. I mean, I saw you die.”

Then Fabian asked with an absurd face.

“Did you have a nightmare?”

“It’s not a dream… There’s something I see with six magical powers [六神通].”

“Is there anything like that?”

“there is. You can think of it as seeing the future.”

“So you’re saying Emily is dead in the future?”

“He died in agony, vomiting blood.”

“You’re not hurt anywhere?”

“There didn’t appear to be any injuries on the outside. But why did he vomit blood and die?”

“Maybe he was poisoned?”

“There were no signs of poisoning. Rather… it seemed sick. Do you have a disease so bad that you die vomiting blood?”

Meanwhile, the disarmed Count Larva Omar joined the conversation.

“How much time seemed to have passed from now?”

“If you look at the face or the horns, they were the same as when we parted.”

“Then it is not an illness. There is no disease that kills so quickly.”

Then, Fabian tilted his head.

“It’s not poison, it’s not sick, or what? To vomit blood and die in pain?”

“If it’s a curse, it’s possible.”

“A curse?”

“If it’s a curse called a murder spell… it can kill people as if they were dead. It’s a method often used by great nobles to kill their spouse’s cheating partner. Because there is no evidence, ten soldiers are treated as ten soldiers.”

“Wow! It’s creepy.”

Count Larva Omar said to Viscount Helio Lagoa.

“Only wizards can cast such a powerful curse.”

It is said that it was the work of Taboola Mage Tower wizards.

Fabian shook his head excitedly.

“The wizards came to the inn too early and said it was a little strange… but they don’t seem to have the heart to let go.”

Elio asked Count Omar of Larva.

“Is there any way to check the curse placed on Emily?”

“You can check it by using ‘Efibeo Kataras’, a search-type magic.
