Episode 1385. Is the magic engineer who developed it still alive?
When Elio said that the magic engineer would have died of old age, Fabian said with an ambiguous expression.
“Because Archduke Kaiser Knauf’s presence is so strong, I keep thinking of him as a standard. The magic engineer who developed Exitium. “If he had been young fifty years ago, wouldn’t he still be alive?”
“is it?”
“Even if that weren’t the case, my lifespan may have increased by changing my body. Doesn’t Count Lagoa live much longer than the average person? If you think about it that way, Archduke Kaiser Knauf may have died young.”
Only then did Elio realize that he had been foolish.
Even if it is not a body change, if the magic engineer is an incarnation of Ushas Undra, he is still alive.
As Fabian said, it was a mistake made by using Archduke Kaiser Knauf as the standard.
“That could be possible. “It was developed by the Tabula Magic Tower, so I’ll look into it when I find Marquis Leola.”
Fabian, who was nodding his head, suddenly asked.
“By the way, Count.”
“huh?”
“Once we take care of the vanguard of chaos. Are you going back to your hometown right away?”
“Why is that?”
“No, I was wondering if you could help the Northern Kingdom before you go.”
“Well, that’s fine. I understand your feelings… … . That’s not a war I want to be involved in. “It is also something that goes far beyond the authority given to me.”
Elio looked at Fabian with complicated eyes.
To be honest, it was burdensome to kill other people besides Geumsa and Cheonjama.
This is because it was not caused by the causality of this world, but by oneself.
Even if they were evil, war is different.
From his perspective, it is no different from killing innocent people.
That was what Buddhism calls accumulating karma.
“All right.”
Fabian didn’t ask any more questions.
Elio is a transparent person whose appearance is everything.
Besides, he also vaguely felt it.
When I look at Count Lagoa, I don’t think he is from this world.
Count Lagoa killed the gods in human form and even made love to the incarnated goddess.
However, it is not true that he is an incarnated god.
The Count overcame serious crises several times due to Exitium.
If you listen to the story about your hometown and family, you will hear that they are a pathetic wife and a foolish daughter.
It can only be thought of as a being that possesses the characteristics of both gods and humans.
To him, war is nothing more than an act of massacre, so he is unwilling to do so.
‘But wouldn’t it be possible to stop the Grand Master?’
The Grand Master was also treated as a demigod, so there wouldn’t be much of a burden.
‘Besides, it wasn’t a one-sided massacre.’
Fabian vowed that when the time came, he would at least ask for that for the Northern Kingdom.
***
Noon the next day.
A carriage came and stopped at the beginning of Mount Appendel.
Eventually, the two young men got out of the carriage and the driver drove the carriage to a nearby vacant lot.
Fabian grumbled as he watched the carriage moving away.
“No, what kind of carriage do you get paid 3 silver for for a day? “The accommodation fee at Fermosa Estella is 1 silver per day.”
“How much is it in the North?”
“It’s a little over 1 silver. The system receives almost double. They say people without money can’t live in the system… … .”
“I am still the Count of the Empire. “How much does it cost to rent a carriage for a day?”
In fact, Elio had no sense of money.
It goes without saying that living in the mountains is all about looting, and after I stopped banditry – whenever I needed money – I never felt like I was lacking, as I got a lot of money just by using a light sword.
When I came to this world, I lived in the barracks from the beginning and had no need to spend money.
Since leaving Hirhera, Count Larva Omar has been in charge of finances.
So even if the carriage rental was 3 silver a day, I didn’t feel indignant like Fabian.
“Count, have you ever borrowed money using your estate as collateral without my knowledge?”
“I live without borrowing money. “Why borrow money that you won’t use if you don’t have it?”
“You have the right mindset. Please don’t change until you return to your hometown.”
“Are you afraid I’ll leave you with some debt?”
“Oh, no way. I am not such a heartless person. This is all said with the Count in mind. “It should remain as a good memory.”
“If you use your land as collateral for money, will it become a dirty memory?”
“It won’t sound good because I have to pay it back.”
“I think you will live very well.”
“thank you.”
Elio, who had been exchanging a non-poetry story with Fabian, stopped.
“for a moment. “I need to do some research to find out where Marquis Leola is.”
After finishing speaking, Elio radiated spiritual energy to Mount Appendel.
Unlike the Abyss, the world of Manaptras was not rough.
Elio, who was standing with one hand raised in the sky, muttered.
“Is it the eastern ridge?”
Fabian, who knew Elio as a magic swordsman, was not surprised.
“The mountain is quite high, but it’s probably not near the top, right?”
“You’re a little short of the top, but don’t worry. “We have tornubis (the art of driving).”
Soon, as Elio performed the fortune-telling technique, clouds gathered under his feet.
Elio and Fabian climbed onto the cloud without hesitation.
The cloud carrying the two people slowly rose and soon flew over the mountain.
Did it fly by for about 10 minutes?
Fabian, who was constantly looking under the clouds, shouted briefly.
“There’s a castle over there!”
After a while, clouds gently settled in the courtyard of the huge old castle.
Elio entered the castle without hesitation.
Fabian hurriedly followed next to him and whispered.
“Is it okay for you to just leave without taking any action? Still, Marquis Leola is a 6th circle wizard.”
“Wouldn’t it be great if he had become a Magus (7th Circle Grand Wizard) in the meantime? Otherwise, you don’t have to worry about the Marquis’ magic.”
Elio was calm because he had fought Marquis Leola at the Tabula Tower in the past.
However, I looked around the inside of the castle, but there was no one in sight.
“No one is there? “Did you find the old castle using search magic?”
“No, I felt a fairly large wave of mana here. “I still feel it.”
“But why is there no one? Could it be that he escaped by teleportation?”
“I heard there are still some left. But I don’t know why I can’t see it.”
“I guess they hid the lab using magic. “I heard that wizards are good at hiding their personal labs that way.”
“okay?”
“Yes, where do you feel it?”
“here.”
Elio pointed to the stone wall with his index finger.
Fabian, who was pounding on the stone wall like an expert, shook his head.
“I can’t find where the entrance is?”
“Oh! That one. I thought I knew something else. “I’m a fool for expecting anything even for a moment.”
“I’ve never learned magic, so how should I know? “I only saw it just in case.”
“Hey, get out of the way.”
At Elio’s words, Fabian took a long step back.
Elio placed the sword paper on his temple and recited the spell to see through heaven.
A red glow appeared in his eyes.
“It was there.”
With those words, Elio took out the ‘Sword of the Void’ and swung it like a thunderbolt.
Ga-ga-ga-gag-!
The stone wall cracked diagonally along the sword.
Then, the moment I passed a certain point, a sudden flash of light exploded.
It wasn’t an explosion.
With a flash of light, the stone wall shook and was eventually sucked into the black crystal ball.
However, the black crystal ball cut in half could not absorb all the illusion of the stone wall, and soon fell to the floor and shattered.
Clink!
The remaining illusion of a stone wall stopped and slowly disappeared.
Marquis Juliana Leola slowly walked out from behind the illusion.
She spoke with a natural look on her face, as if she knew nothing.
“Count Lagoa? Cloud Baron? “What’s going on in my personal lab?”
Fabian just looked at the Marquis with complicated eyes and said nothing.
The reason the Marquis had Sophia die was for Miss Ariette’s happiness.
As someone who loved Ariette, he could not pour out any resentment or anger.
But Elio is different.
He was angry at the Marquis for driving Baron Sophia to death.
“I heard the whole story from the Prime Minister of the Adriatic Kingdom, so don’t be afraid to entertain me.”
Marquis Leola trembled at the shallow words of Count Lagoa.
Wizards have reigned as noble beings for thousands of years, and in particular, magic tower owners were treated like kings wherever they went.
I was shocked to see myself treated like a petty criminal.
Strictly speaking, he did not commit a mortal sin.
It was a long-standing practice for great nobles to assassinate political opponents.
Even the killing of a baron from the Southern Kingdom by the Tabula Magic Tower’s lord cannot even be brought to the imperial court.
Even according to the law, he was innocent.
“I don’t know what I heard from the Prime Minister of the Adriatic Kingdom, but I have no legal problems. “I will be acquitted not only in the Empire, but also in the courts of the Adriatic Kingdom.”
Elio was unable to refute the shameless words of the Marquis Leola.
Even if he thought about it, he really thought the judges would say he was not guilty.
“okay. As you said, judges are on the side of the rich and powerful, so they will say you are not guilty. By the way. What should I do with this? “I have no intention of putting you on trial?”
“Personal revenge is a great sin in a civilized society.”
“I know that? With great power comes great responsibility. As a Grand Master, I have great power. And the responsibility that comes with it… … .”
“If that’s the case, you will even more follow the laws and norms.”
Marquis Leola looked at Count Lagoa with an effortlessly calm expression.
To her, Count Lagoa was a ferocious beast that could go crazy at any time.
“My idea of responsibility is a little different from yours. I am an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. “I believe that is the original law of heaven.”
“Well, that’s a rule that only applies in barbaric times. “Humans are much more civilized than that.”
“Don’t pass off money and power as civilization. Do you think you would be acquitted even if you were not the owner of the Tabula Magic Tower?”
“By the universal values of this era, I am innocent.”
“doesn’t care. “I said I had no intention of taking you to court.”
“Are you going to kill me?”
“I will decide based on your attitude, so answer well from now on.”
“ha! great. ask.”
Marquis Leola let out a sigh as if the floor was sinking.
I have no idea who this person is, Count Lagoa.
Why is Baron Sofia so angry as if it was her own business when she is not even a blood relative?
“I heard that Exitium was developed at Tabula Magic Tower. “Is the magic engineer who developed it still alive?”
The Marquis Leola was taken aback when the question came out in the wrong direction and closed his eyes.
“You have a bad attitude.”
Only then did the Marquis Leola come to his senses and hastily reply.
“I’m alive.”
“name is?”
“Megistus.”
“Tell me about him.”
“I am the first Arch Mage produced from the Tabula Magic Tower. “Currently, I am conducting research in a private laboratory rather than a horse engineering research institute.”
“You mean in a place called an ancient magic laboratory?”
“How could that…” … By any chance, did Ariette Albano say that?”
“She was a fun girl. Where is the ancient magic laboratory?”
“… … I don’t even know the location. “Maggie Stuth is a very suspicious magician, so he didn’t tell anyone because he was afraid it would be taken away.”
“Then how can I meet him?”
“At the end of every month, I come to the magic engineering lab with the soul stone, the material for Goliath. The Soul Stone is a core material for the 3rd generation Goliath, and only he can make it. “It is produced in an ancient magic laboratory and provided to the Magic Engineering Research Institute.”
“Is the piece of iron being used by the imperial army in the Southern Kingdom a third-generation Goliath?”
“that’s right. “There is no magic engineer who can follow Megistus in the field of magic engineering.”
“That’s fun.”
Elio’s eyes lit up.
The things that are driving this world into catastrophe came from the hands of one person!
Maybe he is Ushas Undra, the ‘spearhead of chaos’.
