Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1339

Episode 1339. Are you saying I am the ‘spearhead of chaos’?
“ha! I guess I somehow fell victim to Count Bamut’s pun. Count Lagoa, I am sorry. I ended up tying my own hands and feet in a situation where I needed help… … .”
As Duke Killian Hale sighed, Elio spoke in a calm tone.
“It wasn’t that crowded.”
“Although Count Lagoa is the Grand Master, do not let down your guard. The Steel Legion is the strongest unit of the Imperial Army. The Exitium of Batalion’s unit… … “It is the ultimate weapon that every being with a body should fear.”
“I know.”
“The Count is a magic swordsman, so he will act with skill, but… … . The Batalion unit also has a lot of experience fighting against sword masters and high-ranking wizards. Especially recently, they have even recruited a large number of musketeers. “The combination of Exitium and Musketeers could kill even an incarnated god.”
“… … .”
“That’s why the Imperial Military Intelligence Department takes a hard line. “There is a Batalion unit in the Steel Legion that can move right away.”
“What about Peromuros?”
“It depends on the wishes of the Crown Prince, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force. “They will worry about whether the occupation of Peromuros or the arrest of the Count comes first.”
“Duke, what decision do you think the Crown Prince will make?”
“I don’t know. Since he is the commander-in-chief, I think he will naturally occupy Peromuros first, but… … . “Seeing as they sent the Imperial Military Intelligence Service to provoke the Count, it doesn’t seem like that.”
“I was trying to quietly find the ‘spearhead of chaos’… … . “Suddenly things went wrong.”
“Don’t go somewhere else and talk about the ‘Castle of Confusion’.”
“Why?”
“I’m saying that because I think there will be people who say the Count is the ‘spearhead of chaos.’”
Elio asked back with an absurd expression on his face at the unexpected words.
“I am the ‘spearhead of chaos’?”
“Wouldn’t it seem that way to the Count’s enemies? If the commander-in-chief, the Crown Prince, and the Iron Legion commander, Marquis Stauren, clash with the Count, the war situation will become unmanageable. People who like to mince words may point to the Count as the cause of the chaos.”
When I thought about it, it made sense, so Elio nodded calmly.
“All right.”
It seemed better to follow the duke’s words, as he didn’t want his search for the ‘Spearhead of Chaos’ to be complicated because of him.
When there was nothing more to say, Elio stood up.
Duke Killian Hale just looked at him with a confused look on his face and did not catch him.
“Okay then, I’ll just go. If there are any strange signs within the imperial army… … . Please let me know. “I plan to stay in Minos for the time being.”
Minos is a city close to Ramsay Village.
Elio planned to wait there for Count Larva Omar and others to return.
“I understand. and… … Avoid conflict with the crown prince as much as possible. “If you touch him with just a moment’s emotion, you could end up becoming an enemy of the empire.”
Once the empire made its decision, Count Elio Lagoa would not be able to live comfortably even for a single day.
Perhaps Exitium, which was only provided to Batalion troops, could be distributed to the Imperial Army Musketeers.
If that happens, the world ruled by knights and wizards will end.
If the Battalion unit is a small hole in a solid dam, then the Exitium issued to the Musketeers… … . It will have the same effect as bursting a dam.
Once Exitium is distributed to the Musketeers, even if you become a lord, you will not have to worry about what others think.
No, rather, from then on, all knights and wizards – who hold Exitium in their hands – will have to live their lives under the guidance of the lord.
After thinking that far, Duke Killian Hale let out a long sigh.
Elio quietly left as Duke Killian Hale’s expression darkened.
As I went outside, I felt a little at a loss.
They are busy looking for Ushas Undra, but the Crown Prince and Marquis Stauren are about to catch them.
In the past, I wouldn’t have paid any attention to it, but the Batalion unit is a problem.
Batalion’s troops armed with Exitium were a great danger to him as well.
‘ha! ‘Nothing is easy.’
When he killed Cheonjama (Kama Devias), it seemed like he would soon be able to return to his family.
Finding the Golden Temple (Ushas Undra) was not as difficult as expected.
What had been going smoothly turned into a turbulent storm in the Abyss.
He unintentionally discovers the secrets of the gods and is on the verge of becoming embroiled in war.
However, I am not afraid of the Batalion unit.
There was no way that the Nine Heavenly Sword Spirits residing within his body would stand by and watch his death.
He believed that the Nine Heavenly Sword Spirits would do something in a desperate moment, whether it was treatment or self-defense.
That’s why he said it was a misunderstanding when Fabian recently said that Luna Mylus would have died if he had not devoted himself to treatment.
Neither he nor Luna Mylus knows much about the Nine Heavenly Sword Spirit.
Although the Nine Heavenly Sword Spirit is destructive to others, it acts as a kind of benediction to oneself.
To me, the Nine Heavenly Sword Spirit is the sword that saves life.
It drives out morale, clears blocked acupuncture points, and revitalizes.
I’ve been burned by Exitium a few times, but I’m not afraid.
For some reason, it feels like you’re not going to die in Exitium.
Someone called out to Elio from behind as he trudged along.
“Count Elio!”
When I heard a familiar voice, I turned around and saw that it was Baron Ashley Nelson.
Elio’s frozen face turned bright red.
“Lord Ashley.”
Baron Ashley Nelson took a moment to catch his breath, as if he had been tired from running.
Eventually, when her breathing stabilized, she opened her mouth.
“I came running when I heard you were coming. How have you been?”
“yes. How about Sir Ashley? She heard that Corvo’s magic legions were also damaged by the steel golem. are you okay?”
“There were some casualties among the knights, but thanks to the bravery of the leader, we escaped without further damage.”
“Duke Killian Hale made a brave decision?”
“Yes, if it were like other wizards, I would have held out until all the knights died for the sake of respect… … . The leader immediately ordered a retreat when the magic attack did not work. Thanks to him, everyone except the knights on the front line was safe.”
“Were the front-line knights attacked by a steel golem?”
“Yes, in ‘Light of Death’… … .”
“Is the red light coming from the steel golem’s eyes that scary?”
“Yes, it cuts off steel shields as well as heavy armor like cutting tofu. Should I say it melts? Anyway, the light of death cuts everything. So, if you see the red light of the steel golem later on, the Count must avoid it at all costs. “Don’t try to block it with a shield or sword.”
“I didn’t know it was to that extent. “I will keep that in mind.”
Elio thought to himself, ‘I need to be careful of the red light of the steel golem.’
Since the steel golem was a relic of the Titans, the destructive power of the red light would have been beyond imagination.
“I heard a rumor that you went to the Abyss. “How was the Abyss?”
Then Elio asked back.
“I heard that you teach about the Abyss at the academy, is that correct?”
“yes. Professors who studied the Abyss teach basic things to knights and wizards. Things like geographical characteristics, ecology, types of monsters and monsters and ways to deal with them, etc.”
“Then you also know that you have to go outside once a month?”
“yes. They say that if you stay in the Abyss for a long time, people become a little violent. Is that really true?”
The eyes of Baroness Ashley Nelson, who had never been to the Abyss, sparkled.
The Sky Star and the Abyss are called the two greatest mysteries of the world, so it is not surprising.
“The atmosphere of the Abyss is different from that on the ground. “You know that the Abyss is under the ground, right?”
“I know that the entrance to the Abyss is under an open pit mine. “By the way, was the Abyss underground too?”
“… … .”
For a moment, Elio felt like he had been hit in the back of the head with a hammer.
The entrance to the Abyss is underground, so I thought the Abyss must also be underground.
But is the Abyss underground?
If you think back to the night and day of the Abyss, you will understand how strange that sounds.
“Oh, I was mistaken. “I thought it was definitely underground, but maybe not.”
“Yes, even the professors said that the more they learned about the Abyss, the less they understood.”
“Anyway, the air in the Abyss is different from on land. The dark ether is melted there… … . “It’s the exact opposite of the world on land, which is full of mana.”
“There is dark ether dissolved in the air of the Abyss? Wow! This is my first time hearing something like that. “Even the academy didn’t teach you that.”
At her words, Elio said, ‘Oops!’ did.
This is because saying that it is because the evil god Shaitin created the Abyss would result in making a heretical statement.
Baroness Ashley Nelson, unaware of his speed, did not take her eyes off Count Elio Lagoa.
Elio decided to roughly finish the story.
“Anyway, they say that if you stay in the Abyss for a long time, people become a little strange.”
“Why is there a dark ether in the Abyss? “Is that why you thought it was underground?”
Elio nodded vigorously at her words.
“that’s right. Because the cloudy and damp energy subsides. “I thought it was underground.”
“I guess you are sensitive to energy because you practice reiki. I’m a bit insensitive to that because I received the ‘Blessing of Mana’. Have you ever toured the mines of Mount Petra?”
“Of course I’ve been there.”
“oh! is it so? Then, have you ever been to the mine where the steel golem was unearthed? “They won’t let you go there from the Southern Kingdom, right?”
Then Elio raised his chin and spoke in a calm tone.
“I went into the Ferdom mine owned by the Kingdom of Shade. Of course, before the Shade Kingdom was defeated.”
“Then, did you ever see the steel golem unearthed?”
Baroness Ashley Nelson held her breath and waited for Count Elio Lagoa’s answer.
Seeing her like that, Elio suddenly remembered Luna Mylus and burst out laughing.
“Why, why? “Did my question seem a little strange?”
“no. It reminds me of someone who can’t resist being curious. The steel golem was not found complete. The pieces called ‘steel parts’… … .”
Elio related what he witnessed in the storage room of the Ferdom mine.
***
The Imperial Intelligence Department staff who left the Corvo Magic Legion immediately returned to the Steel Legion stationed in northern Peromuros.
Partly because the Intelligence Department’s special investigation headquarters was established there, but more than that, it was to meet Marquis Theo Stauren, commander of the Steel Legion.
Iron Legion command center.
Count Karl Bamut told Marquis Theo Stauren, commander of the Steel Legion, the progress so far – in detail, even referring to documents as if reporting.
“… … Count Lagoa admitted all the charges, but said he refused to transport them. In addition, he displayed profane words and actions toward the Marquis and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”
Count Karl Bamut, like a seasoned great nobleman, did not convey Count Elio Lagoa’s remarks verbatim.
This is because saying something like that in front of the person involved only hurts the person’s feelings.
“What did he say?”
In response to the Marquis’ question, Count Karl Barmut had no choice but to open his mouth.
“He said unspeakable things such as ‘Stop talking nonsense, if you touch me I will make you pay.’”
But surprisingly, Marquis Theo Stauren did not show much opposition.
“Compared to what he said and did in the north, the level is weak. After all, the Northern Kingdom and the Empire are different. “It looks like you decided to save yourself a little bit, right?”
Count Karl Bamut muttered to himself, ‘It can’t be so,’ and added a final word.
“I wasn’t going to tell you this because it was such an astonishing statement… … . He said that if anyone touched him, he would kill not only Batalion’s troops, but also Marquis Stauren and His Highness the Crown Prince.”
