Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1378
Only Noblemtl
1378 times. They will harass us from all sides.
Elio and his group left without looking back.
The kings of the southern kingdom and the ‘king’s plenipotentiary representatives’ in the central hall were so overcome with shame that they did not speak for a while.
This is understandable, since Count Elio Lagoa murdered the Prime Minister of the Adriatic Kingdom despite the opposition of the southern kings and the ‘king’s plenipotentiary representatives’.
King Raoul Brosnan said with a sad expression.
“If only we had the power to protect ourselves… … . There would have been no war with the empire or shame from Count Lagoa.”
Of course, that was only half true.
The war with the Empire arose from an attempt to monopolize the steel golem.
But no one pointed it out here.
In fact, they thought, ‘If the southern kingdoms were so powerful, even if they blocked access to the Abyss, a war would not have occurred.’
The King of Shade Kingdom, whose country was taken over by the imperial army, offered a word of support.
“You are correct. In that sense, what happened to the development of new strategic weapons?”
The king and the ‘king’s plenipotentiary representatives’ all looked at King Raoul Brosnan.
“A month ago, I received notification that it had entered the final stage. “Sooner or later, we will be armed with weapons comparable to the Exitium.”
King Raoul Brosnan did not hide the progress.
This is because the Adriatic Kingdom army alone cannot fight and win against the imperial army.
If the weapons of both sides were similar, victory or defeat would ultimately depend on number, tactics, and strategy, so the entire Southern Kingdom army had to be armed with new weapons.
The three southern kingdom kings and the two ‘king’s plenipotentiary representatives’ continued their meetings over the matter of the empire and the disposition of the Earl of Lagoa.

After leaving the royal palace, Elio and his party moved to a restaurant within Crasion Castle.
Previously, I would have gone to Cusco Castle, but as the relationship with the Adriatic Kingdom became strained, I decided to just use the restaurant.
Elio, who was waiting for food to come out after ordering, muttered inadvertently.
“Should I have killed you after finding out which magic tower made such a request?”
Then Count Larva Omar spoke.
“I think I know where it is.”
“Really?”
“It would be the Tabula Magic Tower.”
“Why do you think it’s the Tabula Magic Tower?”
“Have you forgotten who Miss Ariette Albano’s sponsor is?”
“ah!”
An exclamation flowed from Elio’s mouth.
It occurred to me late that Ariette Albano’s benefactor was the owner of the Tabula Magic Tower.
Count Omar glanced at Fabian and continued.
“He probably wanted to sort it out because it was interfering with the marriage of Miss Ariette and Baron Fabian.”
Then Fabian raised a counterargument.
“Maybe not, right? If it is revealed that Baron Sophia’s death was planned, it is obvious that Tabula Magic Tower will be suspected of being behind it… … . Would smart wizards do something that would get their tails stepped on?”
“But even you, Baron Fabian, the closest person to Baron Sofia, did not doubt the warrior. “The more people wish for someone’s death, the less likely the truth will be revealed.”
“Are you saying that I wished for Baron Sophia’s death?”
“It may not be death, but she must have thought she was caught. The owner of the tower, Marquis Juliana Leola, and the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Adriatic must have predicted that far. “The great nobles always think like that.”
Fabian’s expression distorted for a moment, but he did not refute.
Because we couldn’t deny what everyone knew.
Then Elio asked Fabian.
“If you, Count Omar, are behind the Tabula Tower like you said… … “What are you going to do?”
“What do you expect from me, who is just a baron? “If the owner of the tower even lifted a finger, he would die.”
“Leave the handling of Topju to me, and what are you going to do with your relationship with Miss Ariette?”
“… … .”
Fabian was unable to answer readily.
After Baron Sofia’s death, he continued to dream of being reunited with Ariette Albano.
But what if the Tabula Tower is behind Baron Sophia’s warriors?
Would it be possible to pursue a reunion with Ariette Albano then?
My heart still wanted Ariette Albano, but my mind said no.
“Fabian?”
“Whatever, it’s over.”
“Well thought out. “I told you not to see me again if you talk nonsense.”
“I’m not that thoughtless.”
Near the end of their conversation, Howard carefully changed the topic.
“Well, what should we do now? Should Count Omar and we continue to remain in the Adriatic Kingdom?”
Elio thought for a moment and answered.
“I think there’s something in the Southern Kingdom. “I would like to at least confirm what it is, but what do you think, Count Omar?”
“I think the same thing. Also, suddenly sacrificing Baroness Sophia, who had even mobilized an airship to take her… … . I feel a different air current than before. I guess I’ll have to find out what that is.”
“Then, Count Omar, please investigate the southern kingdom as you have done so far. “Me and Fabian will return to the Empire and finish the job.”
“What do you plan to do with Tabula Matapju?”
At that moment, everyone paid attention to Elio’s mouth.
If you think about it, his movements feel like they are beyond imagination.
With the death of Baron Sophia, the Chief of Staff of the Skull Legion and the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Adriatic lost their lives.
Did Count Lagoa and Baron Sofia have a close relationship? If you do that, that’s not the case either.
Baroness Sophia is just a woman that Fabian enjoyed for a short time.
However, Count Lagoa had the great nobles killed for killing such a woman.
It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t curious about what he would do with the tower owner when he returned to the empire.
Elio said as if it were obvious.
“A life is a life.”
“If you kill the Tabula Mage Tower owner, you will end up in a hostile relationship with other Mage Towers.”
“So you’re asking me to forgive you?”
“I am afraid that the whole world may turn its back on Lord Lagoa.”
Following the empire, relations with the southern kingdoms were also not good.
If even the Magic Tower became an enemy, Count Lagoa would end up alone.
“I say so. “I have nothing to regret.”
Then Fabian spoke bluntly.
“Lord Lagoa, yes, but please consider our position as well.”
“What is your position?”
“They will harass us from all sides.”
“so? You want to forgive the magic tower lord who killed your child? say it. I will give it to you according to the wishes of a father who lost his child. “No matter how angry I am, I won’t be as angry as my father.”
When Elio looked straight at Fabian, Fabian slowly lowered his eyes.
“It seems like life is worth living.”
“If you take the wide road that the rest of the world takes, your body will be at ease… … . In the end, we become just like them.”
The group nodded silently at Elio’s words.
The food came out just in time.
Elio and his group began to quietly eat the food placed in front of them.

Londinium Empire.
Jung-gu, the capital city of Petropolis.
Tabula Magic Tower.
As the magic crystal ball on the desk sparkled, the tower owner, Marquis Juliana Leola, reached out and touched the magic crystal ball.
The face of a magician from the court of the Southern Adriatic Kingdom appeared in the magic crystal ball.
―I have contacted you because I have something urgent to say to the owner of the Tabula Magic Tower.
“Please speak.”
Up until this point, I thought Marquis Juliana Leola was asking about the magic gun.
―Count Elio Lagoa learned that the Magic Tower was behind Baron Sophia’s warriors.
“what! “What are you talking about now?”
Marquis Juliana Leola, startled, jumped up from her seat.
-It looks like the chief of staff confessed. As a result, the chief of staff and the chancellor died at the hands of Count Lagoa, and the corps commander was put on trial.
“If you mentioned my name, you would never see a magic gun in your life!”
―The Prime Minister died, but he did not mention the Magic Tower.
“That’s a fortunate thing among misfortunes.”
―Count Lagoa and Baron Cloud have disappeared from Krasion Castle. When they return to the Islands, they will investigate the Magic Tower. I contacted you because I thought we needed to prepare for that.
“all right. “If I don’t have anything more to say, I’ll just hang up.”
After speaking, Marquis Juliana Leola nervously struck the magic crystal ball.
There was a loud sound, but the magic crystal ball fixed to the desk did not move.
“Tsk! I wasn’t doing business with those who were lacking… … .”
Marquis Juliana Leola walked around her office, struggling to come up with a solution.
But no matter how much I racked my brain, I couldn’t come up with a silver bullet.
If they had known that the Magic Tower was behind it, they would have come looking for the Tabula Magic Tower first.
Thinking about Count Elio Lagoa’s mental magic gave me goosebumps.
In front of him, neither denying nor lying is acceptable.
Even if he were the owner of the tower, he would definitely use mental magic.
‘What is it?’
I racked my brain, but I couldn’t think of a way to avoid Count Elio Lagoa.
Marquis Juliana Leola’s complexion gradually became whiter.
The task he had pursued thinking it was no big deal was starting to tighten his neck.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Marquis Juliana Leola was startled and shouted at the sound of a knock on the door.
“Who are you?”
Magician Count Kaby Crazer opened the door and came in.
“Taplord, out of the total of 10,000 magic guns, the first batch of 2,000 tablets has been prepared. “Can I send it out like this?”
Marquis Juliana Leola narrowed her eyes.
‘Why, at a time like this… … .’
It was a magic gun that was to be sold to the Kingdom of Adriatic.
Since the Kingdom of Adriatic dealt with Baron Sophia, the contract had to be kept.
“Send it… … No, let’s go.”
Marquis Juliana Leola waved her hand nervously.
For a moment I thought about asking for help, but I knew it would just be a waste of time.
“yes.”
Count Carby Crazer glanced at the tower owner’s countenance and quietly retreated.
Marquis Juliana Leola, who was standing there biting her lip, decided to run away.
She said, ‘Don’t look for me for now. After putting a piece of paper on her desk that said, “I will do research in a quiet place,” she left her magic tower without anyone noticing.
That evening.
Count Cavy Crazer presented a letter to Elio, who came to meet the owner of the tower.
After reading the letter, Elio realized that the owner of the tower had run away and jumped, but the owner who ran away did not come back.
Elio, who had calmed down his anger after a while, asked Count Cavy Crazer.
“Does the tower owner know a place to go?”
“I do not know. As far as I know, there is no private laboratory of the owner outside.”
This means that it just jumped out without measuring back and forth.
They say that the best strategy is the 36 precepts of Joolhaengrang [走爲上策], and that is correct.
After experiencing it myself, my stomach is turned upside down and I can’t do anything about it.
Elio, who was standing with a helpless look on his face, turned around helplessly.
***
Same time.
An unexpected guest came to Fabian, who remained in Permosa Estella.
It was Bardos Ariette Albano at the peak of her popularity.
She gave Fabian a quick greeting and sat down across from him.
“I haven’t seen you in a while. Where have you been?”
“I went to the Kingdom of Adriatic.”
Ariette Albano, who remembered Baroness Sofia Orlova, did not ask why.
Fabian spoke to Ariette Albano, who was quietly looking at him.
“Baron Sophia was killed in Peromuros.”
“… … .”
Ariette Albano looked at Fabian with a surprised face.
Baron Sophia died in action?
Although it was unfortunate, the thought of being fortunate at the same time passed through my mind.
However, Ariette Albano’s expression hardened as Fabian continued.
“The Prime Minister of Adria confessed. The Island’s Magic Tower demanded the death of Baron Sophia as a condition for selling the magic gun. I once had a conversation with the owner of the tower, Marquis Juliana Leola. He told me to make you happy. Count Omar suspects your patron, the Marquis Juliana Leola, as the mastermind. “Count Lagoa has gone to the Tabula Tower, so you will know the results soon.”
“… … .”
“If Tabula Magic Tower made such a request to the Prime Minister of Adria, I will never see you again. “I think that is the minimum respect for the murdered Baroness Sophia and my child.”
Fabian stood up, leaving Ariette Albano in shock.
