Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Chapter 1130

Episode 1130. You will need to be prepared to some extent.

There are thirteen magic schools in the Londinium Empire.

The most famous among them is the Hermetica Parabahad Tabula School, and people called their magic tower the Three Magic Towers.

Except for the Three Great Schools, the rest of the schools were barely maintaining their lives.

This is the result of aspiring wizards being cornered into the Three Great Schools after the Imperial War.

The reason why aspiring wizards flocked to the Three Great Schools is simple.

It was because the Three Great Schools were unrivaled in ‘Divine Magic’, ‘Elemental Magic’ and ‘Alchemy’.

For example, the ‘Hermetica School’ taught divine magic only to the people of the Mana Phras Church. As a result, there was no competition with other schools.

The ‘Parabahad school’ trained battle wizards under the full support of the imperial family. It was also the magician of the Parabahad School who played the most active part in the Imperial War.

The ‘Tabula School’ – unlike the Parabahad School, which sided with the imperial family – joined hands with the great nobility. With the support of the great nobility, they produced a magic gun magic gun golem with alchemy (magic engineering).

That doesn’t mean the other schools of magic didn’t do anything.

They too belatedly clung to combat magic and magic engineering.

However, the gap between the three major schools of magic and other schools of magic widened day by day.

In the case of the Abraxas School in the northern part of the system, they recently jumped into magic engineering, but the financial situation of the Mage Tower was deteriorating.

Abraxas Mage Tower 1st floor.

Clara, the guide of the Mage Tower, brought Elmare, the second-in-command of the Mage Tower and the creator of the artifact, the 5th-circle Mage Crag, in order to appraise the artifact containing magical power.

Crack Elmare’s gaze quickly scanned the young knight.

Judging from the smell of the forest coming from the young man’s whole body, he is a spiritual practitioner.

It was only that the aura was so deep that it seemed to smell like a great grove.

‘That’s not normal.’

Crack Elmare opened his mouth after roughly guessing the opponent’s information.

“I am Mage Crag Elmare, the creator of the artifact. What should I call you?”

“I am Viscount Elio Lagoa.”

Crack Elmare nodded with a nonchalant face.

Considering the depth of his spirituality, such a title was not surprising.

“I have some knowledge of the Viscount of the Empire... Are you from the Kingdom?”

“I was given a title in the Escatos Kingdom.”

“It was too. I heard you have a special artifact.”

Elio took out the crystal necklace he had put in his bosom and put it on the table.

“It is an artifact named Tracer. I heard that it translates the language of the demons...”

Of course, I used it, but Elio said, ‘I heard it’.

It was because I didn’t want to bring out the things I had done in Tamion.

Crack Elmare, like Clara, was startled by the magic flowing from the black crystal.

But like a 5th circle mage, he immediately picked up the necklace.

Subsequently, exclamation flowed from his mouth as he observed the necklace with the 4th circle magic ‘Eye of Truth’.

“ah! An ancient overlapping magic circle!”

After staring at it for a while, Crack Elmare took his eyes off the necklace.

The hazy eyes seem to have been quite impressed.

Then, coming to his senses, he said.

“If the interpretation is limited to the demon language, the performance of the artifact can be said to be intermediate. However, the ancient nesting magic circle is a precious treasure in itself. We’d like to buy it... but honestly, I’m not sure if Kyung can hit the price he wants.”

Clara didn’t make a sound and just watched from the sidelines.

This is because the decision to learn magic from the mages is not the place to intervene.

Craig Elmare returned the necklace to its original place with a sad face.

“I told the person next to me earlier, but I didn’t necessarily have the intention of selling it.”

Crack Elmare looked at Clara, wondering what this was all about.

“He came because he wanted to meet the Tower Lord. You said you could make a deal because the guards wouldn’t let you in.”

“aha.”

After thinking for a while, Crack Elmare spoke to Viscount Elio Lagoa.

“How about this? I will let you meet the tower lord, so please rent this necklace to our mage tower for ten days. If the necklace is damaged during the rental period, we will compensate you with a reasonable amount.”

“The Empire’s magic corps and combat divisions also came to support... but you don’t seem to know more about what happened in Hirhera than you think?”

“Imperial people are not interested in the northern part of the continent... but the imperial palace intentionally blocks information from Hirhera.”

“The imperial palace blocked it? Shouldn’t we rather spread the word and prepare for it?”

“There are things that the northern kingdoms did well against the invasion of the demons, but the situation in the south is worse than that. Now, if Hirhera’s affairs are revealed, all troops in the south should be returned to the north... but I don’t want to do that.”

“So you’re blocking news from the North to keep troops stationed in the South?”

“exactly.”

Elio didn’t ask why.

Rather, I wondered, ‘How does the top owner know the situation in the south?’

“By the way, the tower lord is a mage, so you know the Imperial Army well, right?”

“It’s because our Mage Tower also dispatches battle mages to the army. Compared to the Three Great Magic Towers, it’s new blood... but I can still see the imperial army’s movement.”

“ah! That’s right.”

Elio shook his head.

I didn’t know that the Mage Tower would dispatch battle mages to the Imperial Army.

Duke of Magus Killian Hale of the Corvo Magic Corps hadn’t told me that either.

I thought the Mage Tower was only a group of magicians, but it was surprising to have such a relationship with the imperial palace.

‘Because the northern kingdoms protect Hirhera well, they didn’t step out of the south.’

Or, perhaps, he was more interested in the artifacts of the Abyss than the invasion of the demons.

Human greed is so pathetic.

If he hadn’t actively intervened, the empire would have been devastated by now.

‘Tsk tsk! They don’t know that destruction has been averted, and they’re keeping their eyes on the South.’

The conversation ended abruptly.

Tower owner didn’t ask more about the north, and Elio didn’t ask about the situation in the south.

***

Fermosa Estella.

After leaving the Magic Tower, Elio returned to Estella in Fermosa around sunset.

Fabian, who had been out of the restaurant early, spotted him and waved.

Elio slumped down in the seat across from Fabian.

“Did things go wrong? Doesn’t your expression look like zero?”

“It wasn’t bad, and it wasn’t good either. To put it in a pinch, do you still see hope?”

“What did you say at the Mage Tower?”

“I met the tower owner, but he said he didn’t know anything about Celestiality. Instead, I decided to invite you to the meeting of the Mage Tower Lord in the Buk-gu area next month.”

“You mean wait a month?”

“yes.”

“Would you like to visit the Mage Tower just like today?”

“Hey, don’t talk. You can’t even go in if you have an appointment or don’t have anything to trade.”

“How did you get in today?”

“I barely got in with the excuse of trading a necklace I got from the Buraqui tribe.”

“Can’t you use that necklace to enter other magic towers as well?”

“I decided to lend it to Abraxas Magic Tower for ten days and met the owner of the tower. You have to wait at least ten days to get it back.”

“Wow! I heard that wizards never do anything to lose, is that true? I’ll just let you meet, on what condition?”

“Yes.”

Elio belatedly regretted that he had done something wrong. If he hadn’t rented the necklace, he could have visited another mage tower with it.

“Don’t beat yourself up too much. I’m sure the other Mage Towers also asked to borrow necklaces. It takes at least 50 days to see them all. It would be better to meet in one place next month.”

“yes? Come to think of it, it is. After all, we need to hear the opinions of many people.”

“By the way, the security isn’t a joke, is it? I need to spend at least 10 silver a day... in a month... Huh! 300 silver?”

“...”

A bitter smile appeared on Elio’s face.

It was because his entire wealth was around 300 silver.

Just in time, Count Larva Omar appeared, drenched in sweat. It seems that he came from training in swordsmanship at an independent training center.

Unlike usual, Elio’s hips trembled, probably because the money talk was over.
