Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1168. It is a long-standing custom not to stay in the Sea of Demons. Port

of Hades.

As soon as Count Omar of Larva returned, Elio and his party went out to the pier.

The pier, where many fishing boats were moored, was secluded and quiet.

A medium-sized horse-powered sailboat floated elegantly in a separately installed mooring.

Count Omar of Larva walked toward the medium-sized sailboat without hesitation.

“This is a horsepowered sailboat that I rented for a month. Just in case, we signed a monthly rental agreement. He liked that there was no work.”

“Will it take a month? As long as I learn the sea route, I can go to Tornuvis (fortune telling).”

At Elio’s words, Count Omar replied with a smile.

“Wouldn’t it be difficult to have a meal in the clouds? A boat is better than a cloud to float on the sea all day.”

“Oh, that’s it again.”

Elio shook his head.

It is because a stomach is better than a cloud to eat, rest, and pack.

Fabian also came to the aid of the Count.

“you’re right. You can’t just eat energy balls from clouds. You should eat some soup, too. I don’t know when I’ll find it, but the Viscount is having a hard time, so I can’t. At best, we have found the sky star, but if the viscount falls out of exhaustion, we will all die.”

“That was a bit harsh. Are you going to use Tornubis to the point where I’m going to faint from exhaustion?”

“That is what it means. Take a long look too, Viscount. No one has been able to find it for thousands of years.”

“I know, I know. I don’t expect to find it in a day or two.”

When we arrived at the ship’s mooring, the captain came out to meet us.

“Welcome, Count.”

Upon greeting the captain, Count Omar introduced him to Viscount Elio Lagoa.

“Sir Lagoa, this is the captain. Say hello to the captain. This is Lord Lagoa, whom I serve. Since you are the leader of this expedition, you must take good care of him.”

The captain bowed in surprise when the word ‘serve’ came out of the earl’s mouth.

“This is Althelm, the captain of the magic sailboat.”

“This is Elio Lagoa. I plan to go a little further from today, are you ready?”

“Yes, I put ten days worth of food on board.”

Elio nodded and strode towards the magic sailboat.

Count Omar of Larva and Fabian Althelm followed him.

After a while, the horsepower sailboat slipped out of the mooring.

Elio, who was staring at the open sea from the bow, let out a sigh.

‘ha! It’s so wide.’

Coming out to the sea reminds me of ‘the sky of kings’.

Even though Muryangha and Baekriha were mere rivers, they were as large as the sea.

The intensity of the lower world was so great, but how wide is the sea of the other world, the upper world!

If you pass through the sea of demons, will the sky really appear?

Could the Celestial Star really be there?

Fabian approached him as he was lost in doubt watching the sea.

“What are you thinking about so intently?”

“Porcelain. I heard you found it after passing through the Sea of Demons. But why hasn’t anyone found it since then? For thousands of years.”

“One of the stories I heard was strange. The sea of demons doesn’t always go wild.”

“Not always?”

“It is usually quiet and nothing happens. As if the term “the sea of demons” is a lie.”

“Then when does it get weird?”

“There are times when it just happens. Suddenly, the waves become rough and the fog covers, and from then on, it becomes the sea of demons.”

“That’s because the weather is bad.”

“It’s different from bad weather. They say you know when you experience it yourself?”

“Wait, wait, then you mean that the sea of demons can be calm even after a day?”

“Yes. That’s probably why the captain said he was willing to go. It’s not always that the sea of demons turns upside down.”

“Tsk! Are you saying we have to hope that the sea of demons will turn upside down?”

“That’s right. That way, there will be a chance of finding a star or something.”

“By the way. Haven’t you thought of this?”

“What do you think?”

“Couldn’t there have been people like us for thousands of years?”

“It must have been a lot. Who would have wanted to meet the sun god?”

“They must have been fighting in the sea of demons too… Why has no one seen the Celestial Star until now?”

“Iknow, right?”

“I don’t think they would have made up their minds like us and roamed the seas of demons. However, no one has discovered the celestial star. thousands of years.”

“Maybe the lucky finder is dead. By the Sirens.”

“The sirens are the problem. Didn’t you say those were the people who were expelled from the Celestial City?”

“Yes, I heard that.”

“So you’re a human? How can people live in the sea?”

“It could be a beast that can live in the sea. If you have gills, can you live underwater?”

“Are you talking about mermaids?”

“Yes, any mermaid can live underwater.”

“So you’re saying sirens can be some kind of mermaid?”

“You must have called it that because there was something different about it, right?”

“hmm! Anyway, there is something in the Sea of Evil that can kill all wizards and knights, right? Whether it be a siren or whatever.”

“It’s scary all of a sudden when you say that.”

Fabian gasped lightly.

It was a shame that Viscount Elio Lagoa was next to him. If it wasn’t for that, he was afraid enough to ask to turn the boat around right now.

Dilos, the helmsman, approached the captain holding the rudder.

“Captain. Is it true that our ship is going to the Sea of Ma?”

“Who is it?”

“Bruno overheard the nobles on deck.”

Althelm frowned.

It seems that Bruno, the navigator, overheard the nobles while checking the sails.

“No fuss. I’m just going to watch.”

“Is it okay to just watch and fall for it right away?”

“Then what do nobles do there? Are you thinking of catching some fish? There’s nothing to see but the sea, so I’ll ask you to go soon.”

“What did you say about the perforation?”

“Have we passed the Demon Sea once or twice? Is there a perforated castle there?”

“None. It’s because I’m afraid they’ll roam around the Sea of Demons to find it.”

“How about walking around? Could it be that you are afraid of the sea area of the devil?”

“It’s not scary, but it’s not a place to look at easily, is it?”

“There is no better place on the sea. Did you board the ship without much resolution?”

“Isn’t that what you mean?”

The helmsman Dilos strained his eyes.

He was annoyed by that, even though he clearly knew why he said that.

“I know, I know. Don’t worry, you won’t stay long in the sea of demons. Please crack down on the navigator so that unnecessary words don’t come out.”

“You promised?”

“Okay, go and stop the navigator from talking nonsense.”

“yes.”

Then Delos quietly withdrew.

Althelm, who turned his gaze back to the sea, shook his head excitedly.

I don’t know what the devil’s sea area is, why the man of the sea is so frightened.

that evening.

Elio and his party enjoyed a grand dinner prepared by the captain on the deck.

What’s so urgent, Fabian said with seafood in his mouth.

“Wow! What a feast at sea! Can I do this?”

“I know. this is lucky too I’ve been on a boat a few times before, but it’s so different from that time.”

“What did you do before?”

“Watch fishing?”

“Did you get a fishing boat?”

“No, it was just a passenger boat, but they let me fish. Catch expensive fish.”

“I guess the captain was a very nice person?”

“It was to get the fishing rod rental fee.”

“aha! He was a resourceful person. Anyway, I wish it would come out like this every night. Then I think I can endure it without going back to Hades Port.”

“Didn’t you say that you only brought food for ten days?”

“I can go back and forth in ten days, so if I subtract two days, I can investigate about seven or eight days?”

“yes.”

Elio nodded and suddenly saw Count Larva Omar.

Even if it was operated that way for half a year, it seemed that the expenses would come out quite well.

If there is an accident during the voyage, it will cost more money.

Giving up on exploration in the Magic Tower was understandable.

When I thought so, my appetite plummeted.

‘Damn, now’s not the time to like great cooking…’

Obviously, my appetite ran away, but my hands kept going to seafood.

Around the end of the meal, Captain Althelm came to visit us.

“Do you like cooking?”

“You ate well.”

Fabian replied with a satisfied face on behalf of the party.

Althelm, who was observing the reaction of the nobles, caught his ears.

“I’m not proud of it, but our chef came from Jedo Island after running a restaurant. It is different from the cooks on other ships.”

“Is it because I like the atmosphere? It tasted better than a restaurant in the islands.”

“thank you. And the Sea of Ma will arrive tomorrow morning. You can penetrate the Sea of Demons vertically and horizontally… what do you want to do?”

“How long does it take to cross the Sea of Demons?”

“It can pass in half a day.”

“Then, would it be possible to go across once longitudinally and once horizontally?”

“With the help of the wind, it is possible. Occasionally, if there is a headwind or no wind…. It is difficult to do more than once, whether it is longitudinal or lateral.”

“Only once?”

“If there is no headwind or wind, you have to use your horsepower, but in that case, you won’t get any speed. It’s about the speed of a light jump…”

“After all, it depends on the wind tomorrow?”

“That’s right.”

“Okay. Look at the situation tomorrow and tell me.”

“By the way, what do we do after crossing the Sea of Demons vertically and horizontally?”

“What should I do next, Viscount?”

Fabian asked Elio.

Elio, who had been listening with a sullen face, answered.

“What? You just wander around randomly until you come up with something.”

For a moment, Althelm looked at Viscount Elio Lagoa with a sad face.

I knew that the destination was the Sea of Demons.

But wandering around the Sea of Demons at random?

Doesn’t that just mean sitting in the sea of demons!

“Come on, Viscount. It is a long-standing custom not to stay in the Sea of Demons.”

“Isn’t that what the law says?”

“Of course not.”

“But what is the problem?”

“Don’t you know what the Sea of Demons is like?”

“It’s okay to pass through the Sea of Demons, but it’s not okay to wander randomly?”

“It’s not that I can’t… I’m saying this because it could be dangerous.”

“I heard from the Count that the captain said he didn’t believe in such a thing? I rented a boat to investigate the Sea of Demons, but it seems that communication is not working properly?”

Elio looked back and forth between the captain and Count Omar of Larva.

Then Althelm waved his hand with a puzzled face.

“Oops! no. I don’t believe in superstition. But there are some sailors who believe in that. Because there are aspects that are difficult to simply dismiss the sea of demons as superstition… It was a word to be careful.”

Althelm forced a smile at Viscount Elio Lagoa.

‘Investigating the sea of demons’ and ‘living in the sea of demons’ are distinctly different.

Investigations can be done by going in and out of the Sea of Demons.

‘But wandering around the Sea of Magic…’

Had he known that the ignorant nobles from the north were planning to do so, he would have demanded more money.
