Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1254. It’s only one failure.

A swordsman who has reached the highest level is called a grand master wizard Magnum Opps.

Apart from that, there is a title that points to a magic engineer who has reached the highest level.

That is the Arch Mage.

Magic engineering is a combination of technology and magic, and just because magic is excellent doesn’t mean you can become an Arch Mage.

That’s why there is only one Arch Mage in the entire Mage Tower.

Londinium Empire.

capital Petropolis.

Taboola Magic Tower.

Magic Engineering Lab.

Two men sat facing each other in a window seat dyed by the red sunset.

He is the head of the Magic Engineering Research Institute, the 5th Circle mage, Count Carby Kraser, and an elderly man.

The old Arch Mage Megistus continued talking with a calm face.

“…and this morning in Pria’s production room, Goliath’s autonomous maneuvering was successful. The change from Beast to Beastman worked well. We are currently working on Goliath 2 with a different crew. As long as there are no incidents, it seems to go smoothly until autonomous maneuvering.”

Unlike Megistus, Count Carby Kraser couldn’t hide his excitement.

“Really? Have you checked autonomous maneuvering?”

“I have seen Goliath work on command more than ten times. We faithfully follow the instructions without resistance or resistance.”

“If that’s true, our Tabula Mage Tower will rise as the best Mage Tower in the empire, or even on the continent.”

“We need to check our fighting ability, but we need the permission of the imperial family to do so.”

“You mean to send us to the southern front?”

“Shouldn’t we see if we can stand up to the steel golems of the southern kingdoms?”

“hmm. Got it. I will discuss the matter with the tower lord and deal with it. How long will it take to build one Goliath?”

“Even if all the manpower is put in, it will take 15 days. Excluding the securing of the number of people, only the production of the aircraft.”

“You mean two times a month?”

“It is on the premise that the number of people is supplied in time.”

“Okay. Don’t worry about securing the number of people. Since we have confirmed the location of the beastman village, we should be able to supply it stably without any problems.”

“I have a crush on Eva Meles and her friend Ai. If Goliath’s secret was leaked out through that child… the Taboola Mage Tower could be in danger of being shut down.”

“It’s been quiet up until now, is there anything special?”

“When Goliath shows up in the world… there will be a lot of speculation about it. What do you think will happen if the story of Eva Meles breaks out then?”

“…”

Count Carby Kraser didn’t say anything.

Eva Meles was killed and her mouth shut, but his aide, Emily, returned to the beasts.

Although the Beasts are treated as inferior to humans, they are legally human.

If it were revealed that such a human soul had been put into Goliath, the mages of the Taboola Mage Tower would be treated like warlocks.

Even the imperial family would find it difficult to cover up an incident like that.

No, in a hurry to please the imperial citizens, the imperial family would take the lead in tearing down the Tabula Magic Tower.

The voice of Megistus was heard in the ears of Count Carby Kraser, who was troubled.

“We need to get rid of the beast child.”

“If Count Helio Lagoa finds out, I will not stand still.”

“Didn’t the warden and the tower lord try to get rid of Count Lagoa anyway?”

“I tried to assassinate him with excitium, but failed.”

“It’s just one failure. Did you use only one foot?”

“….”

“If one doesn’t work, if two doesn’t work, three or four… All you have to do is pour excitium until you die. Unless he is a god, he will eventually die.”

“I will discuss the matter with the tower lord.”

“You’re going to Abyss? Criminals in Tomstone will fight each other for one gold.”

Tomstone is a city of adventurers created naturally at the entrance to the Abyss.

Although the horse is a city of adventurers, it was actually a crime city infested with all sorts of criminals.

Perhaps the name of the city is tombstone (Tomstone).

The reason why Tomstone became a city of criminals is that there is no organization in charge of security in Tomstone.

The Great Forest is unexplored.

Naturally, even the tomstone in the middle of the great grove was not under the control of the Empire or the Kingdom.

It is often said that there are no three in the Great Forest.

That’s the King’s lord’s security guard.

As the circumstances were, all the criminals on the continent flocked to Tomstone.

Of course there are vigilantes in Tomstone, but criminal organizations were stronger than vigilantes.

As a result, dozens of people died every day, befitting the name of the city.

In Tomstone, contract killings cost not a single silver.

So, if you give me one gold, the person who said he would kill me would stand in line.

Count Carby Kraser did not give a definite answer.

Assassination of Count Elio Lagoa is different from killing a beastman child.

It was a matter of the survival of the Taboola Magic Tower, and it was not something he could decide on his own.

Eventually he repeated the same sound.

“I will discuss it with the tower lord.”

Megistus looked at the count with frustrated eyes, but did not push further.

Because if you want to keep Goliath’s secret, you will eventually.

***

Southern Adriatic kingdom.

Elio and his party’s stagecoach left Crowley and entered the kingdom of Adria ten days later.

The carriage ran another day from Adria Kingdom and arrived at the final destination, Pheromuros.

Feromuros was distinctly different from other cities he had seen so far.

The city was surrounded by an iron wall.

An exclamation flowed from Elio’s mouth as he looked out the window at the steel wall.

“Wow! look at the wall Is there any iron left?”

“That’s right. I don’t think you would believe me if I told you back to the north?”

Baron Howard Solon from third class intervened as the northern aristocrats stuck out their tongues.

“I heard that the invasion of demons and demons was so severe that they built a wall of steel.”

Then Fabian immediately refuted.

“no way! I wonder if he suffered as much as Glaches Fortress in the north. The Glaches Fortress was also stone, but the steel was severe. isn’t it? Lord Lagoa?”

Elio, who fought against the demons in Glaches, shook his head.

Geopolitically speaking, Glaches was more at risk than Feromuros.

“It’s true that Glaches added it.”

Baron Howard Solon had a lot to say, but he didn’t open his mouth.

Peromuros was a dangerous city that was known even to the Empire.

There is a saying, “If there is Tamion in the North, there is the Great Forest in the South.”

Peromuros of the Adria Kingdom is a place that touches the Great Forest, and demonic beasts still haunt it.

It can be said that it is a more dangerous area than the northern part, where the number of monsters has plummeted since the construction of the Skutum (Ice Wall).

Of course, knights from the north would believe that Hirhera was the most dangerous place in the world.

After a brief inspection, the stagecoach entered the steel wall.

The stagecoach stopped in front of the Stagecoach Transport Association building in the center of town.

The transport manager and guards lined up in front of Elio’s carriage.

We’ve reached our final destination, so we’re about to say goodbye.

Passers-by glanced at the guards at the rare sight.

When Elio and his party got off the wagon, Line Hyde, the transport manager, sprinted and knelt down.

“dismissal! It’s an honor to meet you. Please call me when you return to the Empire. At that time, I will serve you with all my might.”

“Good job.”

Elio did not dismiss the transportation manager who came to greet him as an annoyance.

Because if you know your identity, no one has no choice but to do that.

It’s burdensome to be treated well, but what can I do?

Just then, two luxurious carriages approached.

A wagon used by priests and paladins of Shastra Parakti.

Upon seeing the priests’ carriages, the transport manager and the guards sneaked into the Stagecoach Society’s offices.

He knew that he would only become a bridesmaid if he stayed, so he avoided the seat on his own.

The carriage of the temple stopped in the empty spot where the stagecoach had left.

Soon after, Hamish and Sishit got off the carriage and approached Elio.

Hamish pointed to the temple carriage and said.

“How about going with us to the temple of Ishika?”

At her suggestion, Elio peeked inside the wagon.

Like a stagecoach, it was six-seater, so three more people didn’t seem to have a problem.

“Is it far from here?”

“From here, we have to go into the great forest for half a day more. The distance is long, but it will be the first time, so it would be better to move with us.”

Elio was delighted at the word Great Forest.

“I think the temple of Ishika is close to the great grove?”

“That’s why people left Ishika. Because monsters and monsters often appear.”

“Is it still like that?”

“You know that monsters and monsters from the central part of the continent moved to the northern part and the great forest in ancient times, right? According to ancient history, they settled in Tamion and Great Forest, respectively. Tamion is blocked by a scutum (ice wall), but there is nothing like that between the Great Grove and the Southern Kingdom.”

“her! really? How did the people of the Southern Kingdom live?”

“The Great Grove served as the Scutum. The great forest was the best place for monsters and monsters, so there was no reason to advance into the human realm.”

“ah! Does that mean that the northern part of the ice wall and the southern part of the great forest prevented the influx of monsters?”

“you’re right. It could be said to be the providence of the mysterious Mana Phras.”

“But there are no walls in the great forest, so monsters and beasts can come over, right?”

Baron Howard Solon, who was standing still in the back, slipped in.

“That’s why cities like Feromuros were surrounded by steel walls.”

Elio glanced back at Baron Solon.

If that was true, then Peromuros was more dangerous than northern Glaches, or perhaps more dangerous than Hiruhera.

The ice wall in the north is a ‘wall’, but the Great Forest is just a ‘dense forest’.

Suddenly, Elio asked Hamish.

“Is there any reason why the monsters and demons of the Great Forest do not come over to the Southern Kingdom?”

“They say it’s because humans don’t have magical powers. Witchbeasts and monsters possess magical powers, but humans only have bodies. It would be much better from the point of view of a monster or monster to take magic at the same time, right?”

“Ah…”

“It’s one of two cases where a monster or monster leaves the Great Forest. They either got sick and found it difficult to hunt in the great forest, or they couldn’t forget the taste of human meat.”

“Listening to the words, I think that the great forest is also a mysterious area.”

“It’s the providence of Mana Phras.”

“Can the priest of Shastra Parakti praise Mana Phthras?”

“Because Shastra Parakti and Mana Phras are not strangers. Then, shall we go to the forgotten temple of Ishika?”

At Hamish’s repeated invitation, Elio nodded.

I don’t know the way, but I don’t want to walk half a day in this heat.

The temple wagon carrying Elio and his party passed through Feromuros, which was surrounded by steel walls.

As befits an area bordering the Great Forest, the road—with trees growing on both sides—was dark even in broad daylight.

‘Yah! It’s a perfect terrain for bandits to live on.’

Elio looked out the window with sentimental eyes.

The old memories of hiding in places like that and robbing the top came to mind one by one.

Fabian seemed to have had similar thoughts.

“It makes sense why the mercenaries suddenly changed. Looks good for robbery. Ayy twin bastards.”

Elio, stunned by the thief’s feet, quickly changed his mind.

“Since there is a shade, I should say that I like it because it is cool. Is that the only thing in your head?”
