Episode 1291. Did I do that?
Safe zone village EXO too.
7th Circle Warlock Charles Manson is both a wizard and an astrologer.
Before entering the academy, he learned astrology from his father, an astrologer.
If he had not been gifted in magic, he would have followed in his father’s footsteps and become an astrologer.
Anyway, even after becoming a warlock, he often observed the movements of the stars.
This was especially true before something important.
When he woke up at dawn, he got out of bed and went out to the inn garden.
Even though it was clearly an underground world, a cool breeze blew from somewhere.
As I inhaled the cool wind deep into my lungs, I woke up completely.
With his mind clear, he unconsciously raised his head and looked up at the night sky.
‘It’s amazing that there are stars underground.’
Moreover, there was no difference between that star and the star seen from the ground.
It means that that sky is the sky on earth.
It’s been a long time since I gave up thinking about how such a thing is possible.
For thousands of years, humans have not been able to find the answer.
Even astrologer Charles Manson didn’t think about ‘how?’
It is time for him to carefully observe the movements of the stars.
sparkle-!
A brightly shining star fell diagonally, dragging its tail.
Charles Manson’s eyes flashed as he reflexively traced the meteor’s trajectory backwards.
‘ah! That… … .’
It was the disappearance of a god, or a hero comparable to a god.
There are only two such heroes in this era: Archduke Knauf and Count Elio Lagoa.
Archduke Knauf has not yet participated in the war, so he has no chance of dying.
On the other hand, there are currently three mercenary groups targeting Count Elio Lagoa.
The number of magic guns issued to them was 60, and the number of Exitiums was 200 rounds.
Considering Count Elio Lagoa’s fighting tendency, running wild like a wild boar on the battlefield, this is enough to kill him three or four times.
‘You die in the end.’
Does the world know that the Grand Master will be killed by just three mercenary companies?
***
Petra Mountain.
Unlike Mount Parton, the road to Mount Petra was wide and well-maintained.
There were even friendly signposts posted at each intersection, so it felt like I was seeing a famous tourist attraction.
Taine and Fabian stopped in front of the crossroads.
Soon Elio and his group gathered in front of the high signpost.
“Where shall we go?”
Elio, who was looking at the signpost in response to Fabian’s question, muttered.
“Where should I go… … .”
On the left is the Adria Mine, in the center is the Masdar Mine, and on the right is the Bostania Mine.
The three southern kingdoms bordering the Great Forest seemed to have the easiest positions.
Crea, from the Southern Kingdom, quietly intervened.
“To get to Skull Valley, you have to take the left path. “The center is connected to the top of the mountain, and the right side is connected to the plain.”
“Then it’s on the left.”
As soon as Elio’s words fell, Tyne Rock and Fabian immediately headed to the left path.
After climbing the mountain path for about an hour, a guard post appeared.
Soon, heavily armed guards came out and blocked the mountain path.
When the leader stopped, Elio and his group gathered again.
Fabian asked Crea with a puzzled look.
“Is this the left road? Aren’t we on the wrong track? “I think this is going straight to the Adria Mine?”
“But there was no other way, right?”
“That’s right, but why are the guards blocking the road?”
“I’ll ask the guards.”
With his horse, Crea approached the guards blocking the road.
“excuse me. I am an adventurer from the Adriatic Royal Academy. “I’m heading to the Valley of the Skull with my companions. Isn’t this the way?”
Then one of the guards answered.
“You’re on the right path.”
“Can I keep going up?”
“Yes, but before that, please show me your Abyss entry permit.”
“Why is that?”
Crea glanced at the guard.
This is because there has been no request for an entry permit since entering the Abyss.
I just went to Mount Parton, so why do I need something like that to climb Petra?
Wouldn’t you know that Mount Petra belongs to the Adriatic Kingdom?
It wasn’t like that, but asking them to present an entry permit was an excessive action.
“That’s because the Kingdom Alliance has ordered us to check the identity of visitors to Mount Petra.”
“Just checking? Or do they prevent me from going up?”
“I don’t know what will happen later, but for now, just confirm.”
“all right. Anyway, this road doesn’t only lead to the mines of the Adriatic Kingdom, right?”
“That’s right. As you go, you will see another signpost. There… … .”
As the guard hesitated, Crea bit down persistently.
“Which way should I go from there? If you know, please teach me. “This is my first time learning it, but it’s been so long since I learned it at the academy that I don’t remember much.”
“I am from the Adriatic Royal Academy, so I will teach you. At the second milestone, go to the center. From then on, just keep going left.”
“You mean just go to the center for the second time and keep going to the left after that?”
“That’s right. Now, show me your party’s entry permit.”
“Wait.”
Crea returned to Elio and the others and told them about the conversation she had with the guard.
“… … They ask me to show them my Abyss pass. I’m just checking for now. “Looking at what you’re saying, I think the inside of the Abyss will soon become noisy as well.”
Then Fabian patted Baron Howard Solon on the shoulder and spoke condescendingly.
“We’re fine, but you’re from a principality, so what should we do? There will be many difficulties in the future.”
“Hey, brother. “I think you would think that the saint and the paladin are also from the empire?”
Then Paladin Almet Harev spoke.
“No one will question the origins of the church’s clergy. For your information, there are many temples of the Shastra Parakti religion in the Adriatic Kingdom.”
“ah… … Then, I guess I’ll be the only one from the empire and get attention. “I will be careful.”
Fabian, who was patting Baron Howard Solon on the shoulder as if to cheer him up, took out an entry permit and handed it to Crea.
Crea approached the guards holding an entry permit.
Despite setting up a guard post and blocking the road, the results were in vain.
The guards glanced at the entry permit and stepped out of the way without saying anything.
After passing the guard post and walking for a while, Elio grumbled.
“Are you really just checking and then sending it to me? “What does that mean?”
Then Luna Mylus spoke.
“They are deliberately creating tension in the Southern Kingdom.”
“why?”
“Of course, I am confident that I will win the war. “The idea is to place the Abyss under the jurisdiction of the Southern Kingdom.”
“Wow, that’s shameful. But the southern kingdoms won’t be able to monopolize the Abyss.”
Even if there was just a wave of monsters right now, it was impossible to stop it with only adventurers and mercenaries from the southern kingdom.
Without adventurers and mercenaries from the empire, it would be gradually overrun by monsters.
If this happens, humans may be kicked out of Mount Petra.
“If people from the empire leave, the southern kingdom will not be able to withstand it and will withdraw.”
“My words. “I guess the decision makers in the Southern Kingdom have no eyes?”
“It’s always the plan you make at your desk.”
“If the Empire wins on Earth, the situation will turn around, right?”
“Wouldn’t the Empire try to control the Abyss again then?”
“why?”
“The Southern Kingdom started a war using ancient artifacts obtained from the Abyss. “Should we take action to prevent future wars?”
“One way or another, humans’ presence in the Abyss will likely decrease.”
“The Abyss is not originally a human domain. “There shouldn’t even be humans.”
Hearing Luna Mylus’ meaningful words, Elio looked at her without realizing it.
“What do you mean?”
“huh? what?”
When Luna Mylus asked, Elio, who blinked with an absurd expression on his face, spoke.
“You just said that the Abyss is not a human domain. “You’re saying humans shouldn’t even exist?”
“Did I do that?”
Luna Mylus pointed at herself with a finger.
Elio, startled by her unusual behavior, hurriedly blurted out his words.
“I guess it was because I said it inadvertently. “I also often speak without thinking and don’t remember things.”
“… … .”
Luna Mylus, who was silent for a moment, spoke in a calm tone.
“It seems like the boundary with the goddess is breaking down little by little. It seems like an important thing to say, so don’t just let her hear it and keep it in her mind. “Don’t be surprised because things like this will happen often in the future.”
“Can’t you stop it with your strong mental power?”
“If I am a river, the goddess is the sea. “A river cannot go against the sea.”
Elio gritted his teeth and opened his eyes.
If I relaxed my eyes now, I felt like tears would spill out.
As Elio walked with a confused mind, Fabian’s voice sounded in his ears.
“It’s a mine!”
After a while, Elio and the others stopped walking one by one.
The words ‘Adriatic Kingdom Mine’ were engraved on a huge cave, and about a dozen guard posts were blocking the area.
However, what is surprising is the state of armament of the nearly fifty guards at the post.
What they were carrying on their shoulders was a magic gun.
Elio, who had been burned by a magic gun, shouted with a surprised face.
“No, why are there so many magic guns?”
Then Crea spoke as if explaining.
“It’s probably a replica of the Imperial Magic Tower’s magic gun. “I heard that the performance is a bit low and there is a risk of explosion, but it is still usable, so they continue to copy it.”
“Won’t the Magic Tower impose sanctions on copying?”
“I gave up right away. There is no way to prevent magic gun duplication. Making a magic gun can be imitated even if you are not a magic engineer. In fact, it may be a better thing for the Magic Tower.”
“why?”
“The magic bullets from the Magic Tower are the best. “As the number of magic guns increases, the demand for magic bullets increases, so I might actually welcome it.”
“Wow. amazing. Howard, do you replicate magic guns in the Principality?”
“no. If you do that, you won’t be able to get caught in the magic tower. “The principality is preventing the trade in clones.”
“Isn’t there a shortage of magic guns?”
“There is no shortage because the Magic Tower supplies it to the principalities first. “The kingdom has a limited supply of magic guns, so they are replicating them.”
“aha!”
“The cloned magic gun is dangerous… … The duchy’s musketeers will not use it even if they are told to do so. “About one out of a hundred explodes, so how do you use that?”
“It’s huge. They just use that in the southern kingdom? “They are brave men.”
At that time, Fabian approached Elio.
“You said you would tour the mines. Would you like to go into the mines of the Adriatic Kingdom?”
“It’s just that the mines are meaningless and you should see where the steel golems come from. Do you think a steel golem came from here?”
“I don’t know. There are a lot of guard posts, but are they all set up like this, or is this one particularly crowded? … . “I guess I’ll have to look at other mines to find out.”
“yes? “There’s still a lot left, so let’s look at other mines.”
“All right. “Then I’ll just pass by this place.”
Just then, when the guard at the guard post glared at them, Elio and his group quietly left.
After passing the Adriatic Kingdom mine and climbing the mountain for about two more hours, I came to a fork again.
But there were four forks in the road.
Fabian, who was standing with an annoyed face, asked Crea as if to confirm.
“The guard told you to go to the middle, right?”
“ha! yes. It certainly did. They said he would teach me because he was from the Adriatic Royal Academy… … . “It seems like a crazy person was playing with people.”
Crea, who was tired from the arduous hike in the Abyss, immediately started swearing.
