Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1366. what are you celebrating?

Islands Petropolis Nam-gu.

Adobe Magic Tower.

Count Vasco Fiorenza, the owner of the tower, looked at the middle-aged man sitting across from him with an absurd face.

“Did you ask me if you could make a weapon like Excitium?”

A middle-aged male black market manager, Magenta, replied with a natural look.

“That’s right.”

“Do you say that even though you know that excitium is a strategic item that is strictly managed by the Empire?”

The Count of Fiorenza glared at Magenta.

Magenta was a black market manager and a sword master, so it was difficult to rush her.

Although he is a 5th circle wizard who is treated on the same level as a sword master, it is because the distance is too close to the opponent.

“I’m sure you’re not paying attention to the crown prince, is it difficult to make?”

As the opponent dug in without hesitation, the Count of Fiorenza asked as if to confirm.

“Do you really want to say that?”

“Could excitium be the subject of a joke?”

Count Fiorenza, who was silent at Magenta’s question, spoke as if explaining.

“The Adobe Mage Tower was also developing a weapon similar to Excitium. However, the Taboola Magic Tower completed development first… so we had no choice but to stop development. Probably other magic towers are similar.”

The introduction was long, but Magenta didn’t rush, just nodded.

“Did you say it was difficult to make? A similar weapon could be made in a matter of days, provided I could obtain excitium. However, I was afraid that the future of our Adobe Mage Tower would be unstable… Even now, we are sending out wizards due to reduced income, but if we are checked by the empire, we will be closed altogether.”

“The Empire plans to supply excitium to all gunmen. At this rate, only the Three Demon Towers that produce excitium will survive.”

The Count of Fiorenza did not deny it.

I don’t want to admit it, but the magic tower’s heyday is until Excitium.

With the development of Excitium, the Magic Tower would shine brilliantly, but it would also lead to its downfall.

Like a meteor.

Magenta continued.

“I’m thinking of selling it to the southern kingdom.”

“It is impossible. The Empire, as well as the Mage Tower Committee, will not stand still.”

The reason why the Empire cannot touch the Mage Tower is because of the Mage Tower Committee.

All magic towers on the continent were within the committee’s fence.

The committee protected the rights of developers for the development of engineering.

By the way, making something similar to Taboola Magic Tower’s Excitium and selling it to the southern kingdom?

That was a risky act.

“Hasn’t Adobe Mage Tower done similar research before? If the key ingredients are different, the committee won’t say anything. Isn’t it?”

“Hum hum. Hao man. Because that’s not as easy as it sounds.”

“Isn’t it said that imitation is the mother of creation? Even more so, if you’ve already done research… It’s sure to be similar, but different results will come out.”

“Hmm…”

A quiet voice escaped from Count Fiorenza’s lips.

However, his expression was not as dark as before.

The development of a weapon similar to Axisium but different was a possibility.

It is not difficult to find out the material and manufacturing process of Excitium.

What if we add the research of the Adobe Mage Tower?

The chances of success are higher.

Something in between, neither the same nor new, will be created.

Magenta’s voice reached the ear of the hesitant Earl of Fiorenza.

“If Accyrium is supplied to the Imperial Army, sales of artifacts will plummet.”

“…”

Count Fiorenza woke up.

right.

I don’t know why I didn’t think of that.

Most of the Mage Tower’s income is from selling artifacts.

Artifacts with built-in shield magic cannot withstand Excitium.

“Even Adobe Mage Tower will be difficult to withstand…”

“Let’s try.”

The Countess of Fiorenza interrupted Magenta.

If I stay still, it will surely fall, so I intend to try something.

“You did well.”

With her words, Magenta took an excitium from her bosom and put it on the table.

Count Fiorenza picked up the excitium and smiled bitterly.

“It won’t take long since Adobe Mage Tower is also a research field.”

“If possible, I would appreciate it if you could focus on this one thing. After the Southern Kingdom gives up its resistance, you can’t sell it even if you produce it.”

“Okay.”

After the story, Magenta left the Adobe Mage Tower with a relieved face.

***

Islands Petropolis Buk.

Stagecoach Office.

next day.

Around lunchtime a stagecoach pulled up at the Buk-gu stagecoach office.

After a while, passengers poured out of the stagecoach.

Among them was Magenta.

One corner of Magenta’s mouth went up as she glanced around.

‘Tsk! Wherever he goes, his popularity is…’

A few suspicious people followed him, but he didn’t care.

This is because the Sword Master must move to catch himself.

The Sword Master’s movements have not been detected yet, so the purpose must be information gathering.

Magenta, who was walking along the road, hesitated.

A young man was standing in the middle of the road.

‘what?’

Magenta’s regular steps slowed down before I knew it.

Then, belatedly, he realized his true condition and smiled bitterly.

A sword master who came out of the battlefield of hell swayed in front of a kid?

Shaking his head, he stood facing the young man.

“What business do you have with me?”

Young Elio asked with a nonchalant face.

“Are you Magenta, the black market manager?”

“Right. What about that one?”

“Damn, not even this guy. Then who is it? I will turn.”

Magenta frowned at the young man’s incomprehensible complaint.

How could you act so arrogantly in front of yourself as a sword master?

“I asked who you are.”

“This is Elio Lagoa.”

“…”

Magenta, who blinked at the unexpected answer, asked cautiously.

“Ah, you are the Count of Lagoa. Who are you looking for?”

“The one who continues to throw firewood into the fires of war.”

Magenta cleared her throat with a puzzled face.

The black market was selling weapons to the southern kingdom, so it was disgusting.

“I just…”

Elio cut off Magenta’s excuses.

“You are not the person I am looking for.”

“Ah yes. The Count’s adventures are also popular among black market workers. If you need black market help, please feel free to contact us.”

Although Magenta is a sword master, she lowered her head.

This is because he is the strongest Grand Master of this era who has defeated not only the demon lords and sword masters, but even the Batalion troops.

Elio, who was staring at Magenta, suddenly asked a question.

“Who do you think is responsible for this war?”

“Yes, of course he is the crown prince. Isn’t it a war that occurred when he dispatched a large number of imperial troops to the southern border of the Principality of Topla?”

“Are the actions of the southern kingdoms trying to monopolize the Abyss before that okay?”

He was talking about the fact that the southern kingdoms changed the access qualification to the Abyss from the ‘report system’ to the ‘permission system’.

As for the ‘permission system’, you must obtain approval in advance to enter the Abyss.

It was a considerably strengthened entry and exit procedure compared to the past, where only a report was made and freely entered and exited.

“It sounds like you are talking about the permission system… There has not been a single case in the Southern Kingdom where permission to enter the Abyss has been refused.”

“The Empire can’t be relieved just because it wasn’t there. Will the Empire accept a law that could be applied against you at any time?”

“That’s rude, but that’s the logic the Empire insists on.”

“that’s right. And you are defending the Kingdom’s position.”

“…”

Magenta did not object.

It was true that he was on the side of the kingdom – at least in this war.

Elio turned around without asking further questions.

Since there was nothing new to learn from Magenta, further conversation was a waste of time.

Fermosa Estella.

After parting with Magenta, Elio returned to the inn and was sprawled on the bed.

everything is back to square one

I’ve met all the suspicious people in the Southern Kingdom and the Mage Tower, but it’s futile.

I thought I followed right behind, but what a terrible result!

Lamenting, he closed his eyes to cool his complicated head.

how much time has passed

Elio opened his eyes and slowly raised his upper body.

It was already time to eat dinner, and my stomach growled.

After getting out of bed, Elio trudged to the dining room alone.

The dining room was filled with guests who had come for dinner at some point.

Without Fabian by his side, this was inconvenient.

There has been no news about the guy who went out to meet Miss Ariette in the morning.

‘It’s a good time.’

Elio, who had a lonely face, was guided by the manager to an empty seat.

As Elio finished eating, the manager approached cautiously.

“Count?”

“why?”

Elio wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and looked up at the manager.

“About 5:00, Baron Walter Beck of the Administration Office went by.”

So what?

Elio blinked, and the manager continued with an awkward smile.

“You asked me to charge the lodging fee until today. Eh again… Be sure to tell the Count about that fact…”

“Ah…”

These guys really have no feelings.

To cut off support immediately after letting go of Magenta!

Elio nodded as if he understood, and the manager quietly withdrew.

‘Didn’t I just say until today?’

Unlike usual, he ordered a lot of alcohol and various side dishes.

And he drank alone while listening to the song of Bardos, a young man.

When he was slightly drunk, someone quietly sat across from Elio.

It was Fabian.

“No, why are you drinking alone?”

“Am I you? Do you want to drink with anyone?”

“Anyway, call the manager.”

“What is the manager guilty of? Isn’t it easy to notice nobles?”

“It’s because you don’t look good drinking alone.”

“Then come quickly.”

“Where does that become like a heart? Even now, we are forced to break up.”

“Why are you breaking up? We just live together.”

“Haha…”

Fabian, who laughed awkwardly, quickly changed the subject.

“But what about magenta? Wasn’t that him too?”

“how did you know?”

“Because Sir Lagoa is dressed just the way I saw him this morning.”

“It’s daunting to start all over again.”

“You will do just fine.”

“I just let Magenta go, and the Ministry of Information cut off support right away. We have to pay for the lodging from tomorrow.”

“These are mean guys.”

“So we are enjoying our Last Supper.”

“aha! Since Sir Lagoa was playing alone, I did something.”

“Pan only has this much. If you want something to eat, order it too. Starting tomorrow, you should check the price before ordering.”

“All right. Even if it’s not, it’s a monumental day, but it’s good.”

“What are you celebrating?”

“Actually today… I proposed to Miss Ariette.”

“really?”

For a moment, Elio thought of Sarah, but he didn’t bother to mention it.

Where is the relationship between people forced?

“yes.”

Fabian scratched his head as if he was embarrassed to say it with his own mouth.

“What did Miss Ariette say?”

“I said yes.”

“Congratulations. So, when are you planning to do it?”

“I hope to do it when I go to Slash Land… What do you think?”

Fabian looked into Count Lagoa’s eyes.

He wanted Count Lagoa to officiate at Slash Land.

But I don’t know if the Count of Lagoa, who only waits for the day to return to his hometown, will allow it.

“I’m sorry, but I intend to go home immediately after I deal with Ushas Undra. I’ve been away from my family for too long. The wedding doesn’t have to be in Slash Land, right?”

“It does. Considering Ariette’s family, the system is better.”

“It’s a wedding between the two of you, so decide for yourself.”

“Then what about when Lord Lagoa and I are staying in the island? Will you be okay?”

“What about your family?”

“You just have to go to the north and have another wedding.”

“If that’s the case, do it.”

“Then let’s proceed as quickly as possible.”

“Do you have a house to live in after getting married?”

“We won’t be joining right away. Ariette and Bardos have a contract period left, and I have to go with Lord Lagoa, right?”

Elio smiled at Fabian’s excited face.

Judging from the reckless push forward without much preparation, it seems that this time it is for real.
