Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1145. Don’t you know how to eat meat?

Elio frowned.

It feels like a curse, but there is no wizard to confirm it.

“Can wizards even find out who cast the curse?”

“I can only guess, but I can’t pinpoint who it is. Until I personally witnessed the curse being cast.”

“Is it because you have a heart attack but no physical evidence?”

“you’re right.”

“Can a wizard remove a curse?”

“of course.”

“Hmm!”

A groan escaped Elio’s mouth.

I’m glad I can get rid of the curse, but I’m worried because there’s no magician around.

Then Fabian asked Elio.

“Viscount. Those six magical abilities [六神通]. It will work just when you need it, right?”

“What are you talking about?”

“I thought that if the curse had been placed on me while I was in the Magic Tower, the Viscount might have noticed it a little earlier.”

“I guess so.”

Elio nodded.

Two nights had passed since Emily was brought out of the Mage Tower. Since I hadn’t had such a dream in the meantime, if the curse was applied, it was likely after that.

“Then one of the wizards in that convoy must have cast the curse.”

“oh! Are you sharp?”

An exclamation escaped Elio’s lips.

If it was a curse placed by one of the guards rather than by a wizard in Tabula Tower, there was no way to find out.

Elio jumped up from his chair, saying that the horns were also sweet.

“Why are you getting up all of a sudden?”

“To see if you are right.”

“Now?”

“Why? Got a problem?”

“doesn’t exist.”

Fabian and Count Omar of Larva also rose from their seats as if to accompany them.

***

Cavan, a 3rd-class wizard who was on night watch, jumped up from his seat when he heard the presence.

I thought it was the sound of the wind, but I listened quietly, but it was the sound of footsteps.

He took out a 30 cm long magic stick from his bosom and waited for his opponent to approach.

“Identify who you are!”

His mighty cry shook the silent escort barracks.

Fabian stepped forward and said.

“Howdy! Wizard! Nice to meet you again. Do you remember who we are? Count Larva Omar and Viscount Elio Lagoa and I are Baron Fabian Cloud.”

Cabana checked the faces of the uninvited guests and greeted them with an awkward smile.

“I remember. welcome. What are you doing late at night?”

“Before that, from your introduction.”

“This is the 3rd circle discard cabana of Taboola Magic Tower.”

Wizards do not receive the title of baron until they reach the 4th circle.

Kavanagh was a mage from a commoner who didn’t even have a last name.

Even if it wasn’t so, Fabian, who had a bad perception of the wizards of the Tabula Mage Tower due to the curse, immediately stopped talking.

“It was a cabana. Who is the leader?”

“Linda Kelly, a 4th-circle mage… Baron.”

Cabana reluctantly added Baron when the opponent put the title first.

“Our viscount said there is something urgent to check, so bring it.”

“Please wait a moment.”

Cabana was displeased, but did not dare to express it and ran to Linda Kelly’s barracks.

When he reached the barracks and was about to call Linda Kelly, he opened the curtain and she came out.

Linda Kelly checked the uninvited guest’s face and asked Cabana pretending not to know.

“What’s going on?”

“Viscount Elio Lagoa and his party have visited.”

“Tonight? why?”

“He said he has something urgent to check.”

“….”

Linda Kelly passed Cabana with a cool but effortless expression on her face.

Finally arriving in front of Elio Lagoa and the others, she lightly bowed her head.

“This is Linda Kelly, Mage of the Taboola Tower. Did you say there was something urgent to check?”

Mage is a title widely used from the 4th Circle (Baron) to the 6th Circle (Marquis).

Starting from the 7th circle, he was called Magus.

The experienced Linda Kelly called herself a Mage because of her opponent’s high title.

Usually, it was to take advantage of the fact that the wizard’s title was not confirmed.

She thought Viscount Elio Lagoa’s party had come to check on Emily’s safety.

Again, the answer that came back was unexpected.

“Our Viscount has come to see if Emily is all right. Call Emily.”

At Baron Fabian Cloud’s request, Linda Kelly ordered Cabana to bring Emily.

After a while, Kavanagh brought Emily from the wizards’ barracks.

Seeing Elio Lagoa and the others, Emily’s face brightened.

It was the first time Elio had ever seen a smile, probably because it was close to his hometown.

For a moment he wondered, ‘Am I really cursed?’ I tilted my head.

I watched him vomit blood and die, but he looked better than when he was taken out of the Mage Tower.

But the doubt is fleeting.

He believed in body pain.

If it wasn’t for the pain in the body, I wouldn’t have been able to get the artificial wind smoke.

Elio looked closely at Emily.

As expected, I couldn’t tell if I was cursed with my naked eyes.

“What is the ring on your hand?”

“The wizard gave it to me as a gift at dinner.”

“gift?”

When Elio showed interest, Emily showed off her ring proudly.

If you look closely, it is a common bronze ring.

Then Count Larva Omar stepped in.

“Who gave you the ring?”

Then Emily pointed at Linda Kelly.

“He gave it to me.”

Emily, as if surprised by the Count’s spirit, quietly closed her ringed hand.

Count Omar of Larva waved his hand as if to invite Emily to come closer.

As Emily approached cautiously, the Count took the bronze ring from Emily’s hand.

Then she glared at Linda Kelly with cold eyes.

“A gift?”

Linda Kelly responded casually.

“I gave it to you as an apology for the hardships you suffered at the Magic Tower.”

Then the count struck a sneer.

“joy! Do you believe in the words that a lofty wizard gave Suin an accessory? Ha ha ha ha! This is the best bullshit I’ve ever heard.”

“You may think so, but it is true. It means nothing else.”

“no. It must have a different meaning. There’s a sound I’ve heard before… You need a medium to strengthen the curse, right?”

Linda Kelly’s voice rose, startled.

“Is that a curse? It’s never like that. It is a gift given to you out of regret.”

she denied.

Even if it is later revealed that Emily is cursed, it is because the person who put the curse is unknown.

There are better ways.

All you have to do is break the curse before Emily is revealed to be cursed.

Breaking the curse isn’t difficult.

All that is needed is for the person who cast the curse to cast the curse nullification spell.

‘Unfortunately, let’s release it without anyone knowing.’

But things did not go the way she had planned.

“Mr. Linda Kelly.”

Viscount Elio Lagoa took a step forward.

Linda Kelly blinked her eyes, not knowing how to respond to the title “Mr.”

It was the first name I heard after awakening Mana, so it seemed like I was calling someone else.

“Madame.”

When Viscount Elio Lagoa looked directly at her, Linda Kelly gnashed her teeth in contempt.

“Did you call me?”

“Looks like you got your ears pierced now? There was no answer, so I called a little harder.”

“Why did you call me?”

“I’ll tell you in advance, but lies don’t work in front of me.”

“Do you think I lied?”

“That’s what you’ll find out soon. Didn’t Marquis Juliana Leola teach you? That I have a magic that detects lies?”

“I am well aware of the aftereffects of mental magic. Are you saying you’re going to make me, the mage of the Taboola Tower, into an idiot?”

“You haven’t heard the news yet. My magic has no side effects. Then we begin.”

Linda Kelly tried to refuse, but Elio was quick.

“In the name of the son of the empty field (Gong Yaja) and the disciple of the ageless Pureum (Cheongbulno), I command you to speak the truth. Linda Kelly, did you put a curse on Emily?”

For a moment, Linda Kelly laughed inwardly.

Would anyone tell the truth to tell the truth in a situation like this?

“At the beginning of the evening, I put the curse of ‘Perna Torres’ on the beastman. I put a ring on my hand just to be sure.”

The blood disappeared from the faces of the escort wizards.

They never dreamed that their leader, Linda Kelly, would confess to putting the curse on her lips.

I don’t know why he said that he was beaten to death when he wasn’t tortured and it didn’t seem like he was mentally manipulated.

Belatedly, Linda Kelly jumped up in surprise at what she had said.

“Oh no! What I just said… is not true! Viscount? What have you done to me? tell me! Is this mind manipulation?”

said Elio, glaring at Linda Kelly.

“Release the curse on Emily right now. Otherwise, you will feel the pain that will neither die nor live.”

Linda Kelly lowered her eyes softly.

The shock was so great that I was dizzy and found it difficult to stand upright.

“please forgive me. It shouldn’t be done with the intention of protecting the Magic Tower…”

“Shut up and release the curse first.”

Linda Kelly lifted the curse on Emily without a sound.

Elio took Emily’s blood transfusion with a blood attack.

Then, Emily’s small body floated in midair to Fabian.

“Take Fabian Emily to the tent.”

“yes.”

Fabian took Emily and walked to the tent.

Linda Kelly, who had been standing there with a bewildered face, knelt in front of Elio.

“Please save me!”

Elio, who was looking down at her with cold eyes, pulled out his sword like lightning.

Linda Kelly’s head soared into the air and fell at the feet of the wizards.

Like the throats of the escort wizards, dry saliva gulp down.

“You said you would take me well, but you cursed me to die? How do I do these things?”

The wizards who heard Elio’s self-talk broke their backs all at once.

“We didn’t know!”

“Maiji Linda Kelly did it alone!”

“If I had known, I would have objected!”

“If in doubt, investigate us with the Viscount’s magic!”

Elio’s face, which had been stiff at the words of the wizards, relaxed a little.

Seeing him say that, it seemed like Linda Kelly had done it alone.

The Count also helped with a word.

“Curses are known as shameful things even among wizards… Linda Kelly would have kept them secret.”

Meanwhile, Fabian returned.

Elio spoke to the wizards with a relaxed face.

“Tell the tower owner. If anything happened to Emily later… she would hold the Taboola Magic Tower responsible. If Emily dies, all the wizards in the Taboola Mage Tower will die too.”

At Viscount Elio Lagoa’s terrifying words, the wizards nodded furiously.

There was no one to protest where Linda Kelly’s head was rolling.

the next morning.

Emily woke up in a hurry and ran out of the tent.

It is to find Viscount Elio Lagoa and his party.

Fortunately, they were having breakfast with the wizards.

As Emily hesitated at a distance—with the timidity typical of a deer tribe—Fabian, who had spotted her just in time, smiled and beckoned.

Emily ran away and squatted down next to Viscount Elio Lagoa.

Elio looked curiously at the weak horns, which were less than a span wide, and asked.

“Do you know how to eat meat?”
