Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1287

Episode 1288. It’s good that the gold lines aren’t visible.
7th Circle warlock Charles Manson responded by gently pushing Larissa’s hand away with his finger.
“Ten gold per day is correct.”
“I have to pay 100 gold in 10 days?”
“Have you ever thought that you would have to do something that difficult?”
“No matter how difficult it is, it’s there. Do you think there is something you can do in the Abyss without risking your life?”
Larissa looked at the old man with provocative eyes.
Requests through bars are usually illegal, so of course they are risky.
Even if it is legal, you have to risk your life in the Abyss.
So ten gold a day was a considerable amount of money.
“You are right. Still, I am willing to pay ten gold.”
Charles Manson looked his mistress straight in the eyes.
There was no intention of sparing any money in assassinating the Grand Master.
Larissa, who read the sincerity in the client’s eyes, walked to the wall holding the paper.
“There will be many mercenary groups asking you to meet their clients. Should we do it on a first-come, first-served basis? or not… … If you have any special criteria you want, please let me know.”
“It must be a mercenary group that is good at using magic guns.”
“It’s an interesting condition. “The reward is so high that many mercenary groups will apply, right?”
“A mercenary group with more than ten soldiers… … . “You can contract with up to three mercenary groups.”
Charles Manson specified the number of people in more detail.
But the hostess’s answer was strange.
“I will decide on a first-come, first-served basis.”
“Are you saying there are that many mercenary groups with more than ten soldiers?”
“If you participate in territory warfare, you will learn how to shoot a magic gun. Unless you measure your shooting skills separately, it is not difficult to fill the number of riflemen.”
“Right. In that case, I would like you to arrange for a mercenary group with magic guns.”
“It’s not because you don’t have a magic gun, is it?”
“Don’t worry about that. The magic gun will be provided by me. What I want
“He is not someone who knows how to use a magic gun, but a skilled gunman.”
“aha! all right. But what are you going to do with so many riflemen? … . “Are you planning on robbing a mana stone transport wagon?”
“Hehehe. “There must be an idiot who spends thousands of gold to steal mana stones.”
Let alone the labor cost of ten gold per day, it was foolish to say that magic guns alone were sold at unimaginably high prices.
“Oh, I see. I hadn’t thought of a magic gun. However, I am saying this out of old age… … “Don’t trust the mercenaries too much.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m saying this because I don’t think the mercenaries will readily return the magic gun after completing the request.”
“Hehe, if that’s the case, you don’t have to worry. All you have to do is connect us with a useful mercenary group. “I will take care of the rest.”
“Of course you will. Well, I put it in the middle like this, so you will be contacted soon. “I hope there will be good results.”
Larisa, who had attached the paper, shook her hands and returned to her place.
Charles Manson, who had been waiting for her to arrive, spoke in a coy tone.
“Come back at this time in three days. I would like to meet the mercenary group that applied at that time. “If the contract is concluded, I will give you more money equal to the amount I gave you today.”
“oh! thank you. Although the recruitment period is not long… … . “There are a lot of mercenaries looking for work, so it will work out.”
Larissa put her hands in front of her ample breasts and smiled brightly.

Great forest.
Tombstone.
Elio and his party could not leave Tombstone.
It’s not because I’m buying groceries and supplies from Abyss.
As we collected information about unexplored areas, our schedule stretched.
This is because, surprisingly, there was a lot of information about unexplored areas.
In fact, the pioneering area can be said to be saturated.
If you look at Mount Parton, you can see gold lines everywhere, and the plains of Ebrima are also crowded with mercenaries and adventurers.
So, for quite some time now, mercenaries and adventurers have turned their eyes to unexplored lands.
However, they left no records of the unexplored lands.
This is because I don’t want to share what I discovered through my hard work with others for free.
Then you may be thinking, why not sell it for money?
But unfortunately, neither the empire nor the kingdom paid any attention to the dangerous unexplored land.
The same was true for mercenary groups that were immediately desperate to make money.
In the end, exploration of unexplored lands remained a play with fire for curious mercenaries and adventurers.
At first, Elio and his party gathered information about the unexplored area without much expectation.
But the more I dug, the more new information came out.
There were people who went not only close to Mount Petra, but also quite far away.
A middle-aged man continued speaking, his face flushed with alcohol and even spitting up spittle.
“… … After passing the Ceratops habitat, if you go about three days further, you will reach Yongdusan Mountain. The reason why it is called Dragon Head Mountain is because the top of the mountain looks exactly like the head of a dragon. I am saying that the number of people who have been to this dragon head mountain is counted on one hand. But I also go in there.”
“By Ceratops, do you mean the horned lizard?”
When Fabian pretended to understand, the man nodded.
“that’s right. It’s a low-level monster, but it’s gentle and it’s okay as long as you don’t touch it first. But if you happen to touch one, you can just assume it died there. All the ceratopsians nearby are coming. “I heard that a regiment of the kingdom’s army was annihilated once it touched a ceratops.”
“It’s huge. “So, adventurer, have you been to Dragon Head Mountain?”
“Honestly, I never climbed Dragon Head Mountain. I saw a Palex Manti eating a Terradog at the foot of the mountain. I made eye contact with two fist-sized eyes… … . I almost peed myself. “If his stomach wasn’t full then, I wouldn’t be here.”
The middle-aged man trembled.
Palex Manti is a mid-level monster that resembles a praying mantis and is famous for its ferocity.
What’s even more terrifying is that they eat their prey little by little while it is still alive.
Of course, they don’t even look at the bodies of dead animals.
It is said that anyone who has ever seen a Palex manti feasting will never be able to recover from that shock, and the man’s eyes showed fear.
As the man’s breathing became louder, Fabian quickly turned around.
“Still, you managed to escape? They say there’s something beyond Dragon Head Mountain?
yo. this? Oh, I guess no one has climbed to the top yet?”
“No one will ever reach the top? “There are people who passed over, so what are you talking about?”
“There is such a person? Who are you? “That person?”
“He died a long time ago.”
“Eh? Are you dying?”
“I’m an adventurer named Hotern Phil. Although he was not known to the world because he was a criminal who killed the royal family. Still, in Tombstone and Exodo, if you don’t know him, you’ll be treated like a kid, so keep it in his mind.”
“Do you like that?”
“That much? If mercenaries have Chris Dunamis, adventurers have Hotern Phil. “You say you’re an adventurer, but don’t you know the Hotern Phil?”
“Because I’m from the North.”
“North of the Empire? Or higher than that?”
“More up.”
“Oh my! “They came from far away.”
Since it was a name erased by the nobles of the southern kingdom, it was natural for northerners to not know it.
“Anyway, no one has climbed over Dragon Head Mountain since then?”
“why? “Would you like to go over?”
The middle-aged man looked up and down at the young adventurer with wistful eyes.
“I don’t know if that will happen.”
“Wake up from your dream. I guess you think that Hotern Phil went over and you can too. look at me I’m a mercenary too, but do you think I could become Chris Dunamis? no. I can’t do it. A person must know the subject. Do you want to imitate Hotern Phil and die in an unexplored area without anyone knowing?”
Fabian poured beer into the middle-aged mercenary’s glass and stood up.
Since no one has crossed the Dragon Head Mountain since Hotern Phil, it seems like I have obtained all the information I needed from Tombstone.
next day.
Elio and his group headed to the Abyss again.
As we descended to the bottom of the open pit mine, the same black dot appeared.
Elio said while looking at the dot floating in the air.
“I find this the strangest. Look, it’s just a dot in the air. There is nothing behind the dot. It doesn’t seem like magic, how can this be? The funny thing is that if you pass this point, the inside of the Abyss appears. “This is absolutely ridiculous.”
“What nonsense is this? It’s like teleportation, right? Does teleportation make sense?”
“Oh, is that so?”
Elio, who had thin ears, seemed to immediately understand Fabian’s words.
Eventually, Elio and the others walked into the black dot one by one.
***
Abyss.
Elio and the others just passed by the Exodo in the safe area.
This is not the first time I have set foot in the Abyss, and I have already gained enough information about the unexplored area from Tombstone.
Elio and his group went straight to Mount Parton, which is to the left of Exo.
The leaders were Fabian and Tain Lok.
After that, Baron Howard Solon, Crea, Elio, and Luna Mylus followed.
The rear of the party was still occupied by Count Larva Omar and Paladin Almet Harev.
When we arrived at the beginning of Mount Parton, Fabian said with a withered face.
“I put gold lines here and there to say it’s a medicinal herb field, but it’s no big deal, right?”
“Then let’s take a different route than last time this time.”
Tain-rok boldly left the mountain path and entered the forest.
Fabian had his own words, so he could not object and kept pace with him.
Elio, who was following behind, shouted towards the front.
“no! Why go into the forest instead of leaving the good road behind? “What if I step on a Sagittar Viper?”
Sagita Viper is a poisonous snake and a low-level monster.
The Sagittar Viper, which has a head like an arrowhead, is a monster that is as fast as light. There is even a saying that ‘the moment you spot it, it has already been bitten.’
Because it is a monster that lives throughout the Abyss, an antidote has been developed, but the aftereffects remain for a long time, so it is best to avoid being bitten as much as possible.
However, Fabian was too busy looking at his feet to answer.
As the leader entered the forest, those who followed also reluctantly stepped into the forest.
Elio, who was walking mumblingly, spoke to Luna Mylus.
“Still, it’s good that the ugly gold lines aren’t visible.”
“You’ll see a snake instead.”
“No way. If you make the sound of your footsteps, won’t the snake run away?”
“Ordinary snakes are like that, but monsters will attack you for trespassing on their territory, right?”
“is it so?”
As if responding to Elio’s words, Fabian screamed from the front.
“evil! what! What hurts so much! I got bitten! It’s Sajita Viper!”
Elio, who was following, hurriedly ran to Fabian.
Fabian, who was chopping up a black snake with a long sword, said with an angry face.
“This bastard bit me. “It’s like a snake that won’t feel good even if you chew it!”
“Still, it has increased a lot? “You chopped Sagitta Viper into small pieces?”
“Now is not the time to talk about swordsmanship. “Please give me the antidote.”
“Are you speaking confidently as if you were the person who entrusted the antidote to me?”
While grumbling, Elio took out the antidote from Mahadam and handed it to Fabian.
Fabian, who drank the antidote, sighed and said.
“ha! I heard that the aftereffects of this will last for a long time… … . “I don’t know why this only happens to me.”
“Would you feel better if other people suffered too?”
“That’s not what you’re saying!”
“I heard hallucinations and auditory hallucinations last for a few days, so make it a habit to always check before doing anything.”
Elio warned Fabian.
Even so, I am worried that he is hallucinating and hallucinating because he is good at doing strange things.
