Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1199. Go one step further,

Elio muttered as if talking to himself while watching Captain Althelm and Fabian.

“There is something said by a sage in my hometown. ‘Take one more step at the end of a 30-meter high pole’. If you go one step further, you will surely die, but in fact, that is the way to live big.”

After a moment of silence, Elio turned his head to Fabian.

“Fabian, do you think you will die if you continue sailing here?”

“yes? As you can see the weather is…yes I don’t feel good.”

Elio’s gaze turned to Captain Althelm this time.

“Does the captain think so too?”

“If we meet the same extreme weather as last time in the current weather, the ship will sink.”

“Isn’t it like standing at the end of a 30-meter-tall pole?”

“….”

A dry saliva went over the throat of the tense Captain Althelm.

So, who knows, is he going to take a step forward to the place where he will die?

As expected, Count Elio Lagoa said in a calm tone.

“I keep going without turning the boat.”

“Yes…”

Who would disobey?

Captain Althelm’s shoulders drooped.

Before, I wasn’t afraid of extreme weather or anything, but not now.

However, they could not disobey Count Lagoa’s orders.

Elio said to the contemplative Captain Althelm.

“If you see an island you haven’t seen before, or if signs of unusual weather begin, the captain, immediately turn the boat around and leave.”

The eyes of Captain Althelm, who had been dying for a moment, came alive.

“Am I really?”

“For that to happen, the sailors will have to keep their eyes open and look in all directions.”

“Yes yes. I will.”

Captain Althelm thought Count Lagoa had halfway given up on finding the star.

‘Haha, since you went through an unusual weather last time, it’s only natural. But why do you keep wandering around the Sea of Demons?’

Curious, but he didn’t dare to ask and went back to the wheelhouse.

After a while, the Delos helmsman came out and brushed up on the crew.

The sailors resting on board were scattered to the bow and stern.

The winter wind grew stronger and stronger, but showed no signs of abating.

The horse-powered sailboat swayed from side to side in the waves hitting the boat.

It’s not comparable to a storm, but it’s an uncomfortable shake.

The upper bodies of Elio and the others also swayed from side to side without rest.

Count Larva Omar suddenly said something.

“Today’s wave seems to be the highest ever.”

“It’s not like there’s a typhoon coming, is it? Then it will be really big.”

Fabian glanced at Count Helio Lagoa’s complexion.

But Elio was immovable.

There is something called feeling.

Considering the weather, it would be right to leave the Sea of Ma, but it seemed that a green island would appear.

That’s why the phrase ‘Baekcheok Gandujin Ilbo’ came to mind.

Reason-wise it was right to leave, but my sixth sense told me not to.

The horse-powered sailboat moved forward fighting high waves all day long.

As the sun went down, the waves got rougher and the water poured over the deck.

slam! slam-!

The magic sailboat now moved up and down as well as left and right.

When the hull shakes, the bow is most affected.

The bodies of Elio and the others, who had been nodding left and right, now swayed up and down.

Thinking that he might fall off the ship like this, Fabian quietly moved to his seat next to the auxiliary mast.

Even after the sun had completely set, the waves did not subside.

The sailors in the bow and stern went back into the cabin one by one.

Some of them could not see ahead, but it was because the boat was so rocking that it was dangerous.

Dinner was also easily served in the cabin by Elio and the others.

My stomach fluctuated and I couldn’t even dream of a proper meal.

After eating, Elio went back to the bow, but Count Larva Omar and Fabian remained in the cabin.

Fabian looked at Count Elio Lagoa, who was sitting alone on the prow.

“He’s a very bitter person.”

“You have a great sense of duty.”

“I’m doing it because I want to go back to my hometown, not out of a sense of mission.”

“When you say your hometown, do you mean the savage village in the Alba Nubes Mountains?”

“well.”

Count Larva Omar glanced at Fabian.

It is already widely known that Count Helio Lagoa was from the Alba Nubes Mountains, but ‘well’?

“Looks like Lord Lagoa has a separate hometown?”

“I won’t say anything. If you have any questions, ask them directly.”

“Whoops. You are a loyal vassal.”

Count Larva Omar was not offended, but rather laughed.

I thought of Baron Fabian as a light-mouthed man, but I don’t think that’s necessarily the case.

next day.

Elio, who woke up early, went out to the bow.

At dawn, Fabian, who had been replaced by Count Larva Omar, looked back and said,

“The waves got a little bit stronger. The sound of the waves hitting the boat is deafening.”

“Good job. Go in and get some rest.”

“It’s still fine. You will only get motion sickness if you lie down.”

“If you’re having a hard time, run the small heavenly circuit (小周天). If you turn it at that time, the effect is better.”

“I’ve tried it, but my stomach is rocking and it keeps breaking.”

“Oh, keep going. Then, at some point, it will become as natural as breathing. It was real from then on.”

“Did the Count do it as naturally as breathing?”

“That’s basic. I wasn’t at the same level as I am now since I was born.”

“All right.”

Fabian gritted his teeth and focused on the ‘Little Sky Circuit’.

However, every time the ship went down, the small sky circuit was cut off.

Every time that happened, the mana hole in his heart felt stiff as if it would tear.

‘Isn’t this going wrong?’ I was worried, but when I heard that I was going to become the Count of Helio Lagoa, I did not stop the challenge.

It feels like the mana hole in his chest is torn to pieces and is in tatters.

Of course, that’s how it feels.

If the mana hall was really torn, he wouldn’t have been able to stand upright.

Fabian panicked as the pain in the Mana Hall intensified.

I wanted to quit even now.

I didn’t know that if I worked a little harder here, I might become a crippled person.

Manahole continued to send out red flags.

The sound of the waves or the rolling of the boat was no longer a problem.

If you think about ‘whether or not you become a disabled person’, that was nothing.

‘Should I quit? Shall we try one more time?’

I must have accidentally bit my lip in my nervousness, so it burned and tasted like blood.

In an instant, Fabian came to his senses.

‘I have to decide which one now before it’s too late.’

Then, the words of Count Elio Lagoa suddenly came to mind.

―There is something a wise man said in my hometown. ‘Take one more step at the end of a 30-meter high pole’. If you go one step further, you will surely die, but in fact, that is the way to live big.

I thought I knew what that meant now.

He was standing at the end of a 30-meter high pole.

If we go one step further, there might be a problem with the mana hall.

To the knight, that was worse than death.

‘Countess Lagoa, do we really have to go one step further from here?’

The back of Count Helio Lagoa came into Fabian’s eyes.

The Rift Knight and the guardian of Hirhera.

A knight who wants to fight alone against all the gods.

He said.

If you keep doing it, it will become as natural as breathing.

You can trust him and go one step further, or you can stop here and protect the Mana Hall.

‘let’s go.’

Fabian closed his eyes tightly and turned the ‘Little Sky Circuit’ again.

The mana hole, which seemed to be torn apart at any moment, did not explode.

The next moment ‘Puff!’ And the magic sailboat fell down.

Of course, I thought my heart would be clogged up, but like a lie, mana slowly returned along the small circuit of the sky.

As Count Elio Lagoa said, it was as comfortable as breathing.

At that time, a watchman shouted from the top castle of the main sail.

“It is an island! You can see the island at 3 o’clock!”

Fabian opened his eyes and quickly turned his head to the right.

indeed!

I saw a large dot on the horizontal line at 3 o’clock.

His eyes suddenly improved, although they were the size of a grain of rice.

After leaving the wheelhouse, Captain Althelm ran to the bow.

“Sir, then that island! Can I turn the boat over to the other side?”

Elio asked as if to confirm.

“It’s not Rhodes Island, right?”

“yes! Where we are is the Sea of Demons. There is no such thing as an island here.”

“All right. Turn the boat around and get out of the Sea of Demons.”

“Yes yes!”

Captain Althelm went back the way he came with a happy face.

Elio shouted at Fabian, who was clinging to the mast.

“Fabian! Bring Count Omar with you! If it’s late, I’ll go alone!”

“yes!”

However, Fabian never went to the cabin.

It was because at the same time as Fabian’s answer, Count Larva Omar came out to the deck.

Just in time, the magic sailboat turned rapidly.

Elio immediately performed fortune-telling as Count Larva Omar and Fabian stood on his left and right.

White clouds gathered over the bow.

The strong wind fluttered the collar violently, but the clouds did not dissipate.

Elio strode into the clouds.

Before long, the cloud carrying Elio and the others floated above the magic sailboat.

Thoth, the watchman, looked away from the telescope with a strange feeling.

‘huh? what?’

‘Ah!’ An exclamation burst out.

Are the Counts of Lagoa and the northern nobles in the white clouds?

No, to be precise, the Count of Lagoa and the nobles of the north were flying gently into the sky on white clouds.

Thinking he was wrong, Thoth rubbed his eyes with both hands.

But after watching it again and again, it was the same.

Fabian grinned and waved as he met his eyes.

Thoth suddenly waved his hand at me, then shouted with all his might.

“Where are you going!”

Instead of answering, Fabian pointed at 3 o’clock, the direction of the clouds.

Upon hearing Thoth’s cry, the eyes of the sailors all turned to the sky.

The mouths of the sailors who discovered the white cloud belatedly opened wide.

Soon after, fog slowly rose above the sea at 3 o’clock.

This is where the climate change began.

“I’m not going! Fog rolls in!”

Sailors no longer paid attention to the white clouds and northern nobles.

It was obvious that the ship would capsize if high waves and extreme weather conditions overlap like now.

Captain Althelm, who was in a hurry at the cries of the crew, even activated the magic engine.

Woo woo woo-.

The fog clung to it like it was trying to catch a sailboat.

Right before the stern of the sailboat touched the fog, the sailboat was sent forward as if it were sliding due to a strong wind blowing from somewhere.

Chwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

As the magic sailboat moved farther away, the fog lessened little by little.

The sailors, who belatedly learned that they had escaped from the abnormal weather, jumped up and down and cheered.

“Live!”

“Wow! I thought I was dying!”

After a while, the excitement subsided, and belatedly, the story of the northern nobles came out.

“What happened to the northern nobles?”

“You rode on a cloud.”

“If the weather changes, there will be a storm soon, but I don’t know if the clouds can withstand it.”

“Everyone will die.”

“If the northern nobles die, won’t we become dog hair too?”

“That’s right. Fuck.”

The atmosphere that had been raging with joy at being alive soon subsided heavily.
