and Abyss
“Don’t take it lightly on the lords.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I mean, don’t think of threatening Count Putokoa.”
“Have you ever been threatened?”
“You said you’d have to find a new successor if you harass the barbarians of Count Putokoa. If that’s not a threat, what is?”
“A warning.”
Illyana shook her head excitedly.
If such a voice reached Count Putocoa, he and the barbarian tribes of Count Putocoa would not be safe.
“That’s why I told them not to think easily of the lords. The territory of the lords of the northern region is enormous. Among them, the power of the 3 lords is terrifying. Count Putokoa is one of the three great lords. I heard that there are three ‘sword experts’ in the Griffin Knights there.”
“So what?”
“If the Griffin Knights move, Elio-nim will be in danger too. I won’t go that far because Marquis Bernardo is behind Elio-sama.”
“Are ‘Sword Experts’ really that great? I didn’t like seeing Baron Fritz.”
“ha! Baron Fritz is just a ‘Sword Beginner’. Out of a thousand ‘sword beginners’, how many do you think will become ‘sword experts’? Just one or two.”
Illyana looked at Elio with a frustrated face.
There are a little over 20 ‘sword experts’ in the Escatos Kingdom.
Half of them belong to the knights of the three major northern territories.
The knights naturally grew stronger as they stopped the Demonic Beasts coming down from the unexplored regions of the north.
Yeonjeokha said with a grave face.
“So you’re telling us to beware of the Griffin Knights?”
“that’s right. You’d better not give the Griffin Knights any excuse to move. There is a limit to how Marquis Bernardo can look after you.”
“The Count of Putokoa won’t be able to afford to deal with me.”
“why?”
“Count Putocoa died in Hirhera.”
“So?”
Illyana stared at Elio.
I don’t know why the eldest son of Count Putocoa inherited everything, but he said he couldn’t afford to deal with it.
From the eyes of her partner, he knew that the tragedy of Hirhera had not yet been known to the world.
If it is known that there is a problem with the knight’s ice wall, the continent of Rodina will be upset, so you should be quiet.
“No, that’s what it is.”
Even though he was younger, he knew the seriousness of the matter, so he blurted it out.
“If there is no official successor, there will be no panic, but I heard that in the case of Count Putokoa, the eldest son inherited everything. So...”
“Oh yes, I will be careful. But I have a question. Do you know about ‘Kama Debias’ and ‘Ushas Undra’?”
“Kama Debias is the ‘sun god’ and Ushas Undra is the god who created the ‘Abyss’.”
“What must I do to meet those gods?”
“Kama Devias is said to be in the ‘Abyss’ called ‘Sky Star’ Ushas Wound.”
“You mean you’re in ‘Sky’ and ‘Abyss’?”
“Yes.”
“Do you know where the ‘Correspondence’ and ‘Abyss’ are?”
“’Cheonggongseong’ has been researched in the Mage Tower for a long time, so wouldn’t the Mage Tower know about it?”
“Where is the magic tower?”
“All the magic towers on the Rodina continent are in the Empire. Since the empire is the center of the continent.”
“Ah... then what about ‘Abyss’?”
“It’s in the Great Forest in the southern part of the Rodina continent.”
“The great grove?”
“It’s an unexplored area called the Great Forest, to be exact.”
“Unexplored land... the location is not known, right?”
“It’s not like that. A city has been built around the ‘Abyss’. It’s more like a huge town rather than a city. I’ve only heard it, so I’m not sure if it’s a city or a village.”
Count Tobias Putocoa gritted his teeth.
“I wanted to hear about my father’s death, but you turned it down! Sirs, what kind of punishment do you think is suitable for a savage who does not know the honor?”
One step ahead of the vice-captain, Viscount Keeper, the knight commander, spoke.
“Savages treat their tribe like family. Killing the ‘Clan of the Mountain’ will have a huge impact on him. Even Marquis Bernardo wouldn’t be able to say anything.”
Only then did Count Tobias Putocoa’s face light up.
“Good idea. However, there is a sense that the death of wild people is not enough. How about cutting off their ears and sending them to him? Let me know that the death of the tribe is my fault.”
The knight commander nodded in agreement.
“This is a wise word. If you do that, even the barbarians who contract with you later won’t think of betraying you.”
The other nobles present at the meeting also nodded vigorously.
In fact, subjugation of wild people was not a loss for them.
Rather, it was a valuable opportunity to plunder wealth from tax thieves.
In addition, it was also good to instill fear in the savage tribes to contract again.
That afternoon, 30 Griffin Knights left the lord’s castle.
Their destination is the ‘Alba Nubes’ mountain range where the ‘mountain tribe’ resides.
Seven days later, the Griffon Knights returned to the lord’s castle carrying bags full of human ears.
***
Marquis of Bernardo.
Enarche.
After about ten days, the bandages were removed from the arms and legs.
Illyana, the healer, clucked her tongue at his speedy recovery.
“Among the patients I’ve seen so far, Helio’s recovery is the fastest. At this speed, you don’t even need to go to the wizard, right?”
“Do wizards know how to heal?”
The younger brother looked at Illyana with surprised eyes.
He also uses amulets and spells, but treatment is a completely different area.
“sure. Compared to Mage’s Heal, Healer is nothing. Haven’t you met the wizard yet?”
“yes. I’ve never seen one.”
“It can’t be. There was also a wizard among the people who visited with the Marquis.”
“Who are you?”
“Grandpa with a cane. Didn’t you receive an artifact from him?”
“ah! that’s right. I got it from my grandfather. he was a wizard Somehow, he used a strange technique. Do you know what his realm is?”
“Be a 5th circle mage.”
“Is it high?”
“It is very high. In terms of a knight, he is halfway between a ‘sword master’ and a ‘sword expert’. Besides, wizards are rare, but it is difficult for knights to handle mage attack magic. That’s why they are treated better than knights.”
I didn’t fully understand what Illyana was saying, but I didn’t ask any more.
It is said that it is better to see once than to hear a hundred times.
It was something I would know when I met him anyway.
Illyana, who was touching Elio’s arms and legs, muttered as if talking to herself.
“It’s already been about ten days since the Marquis’ party left. It was the first time I saw an airship up close.”
“What is an airship?”
“Ah, you don’t know airships yet. Wizards are divided into several schools. Among them, Taboola is a school that studies alchemy and magic engineering. There, they built a ship that levitates in the air, which is called an airship.”
“Are you saying that ships fly through the sky?”
“Yes, I heard that there is only one in our kingdom, but the Marquis and his party rode it.”
“No, how do ships fly through the sky?”
“Whoops! Isn’t it strange that mages create fire and lightning and ice? He even heals injured people with magical chanting. When you think about that, it’s nothing to see a ship fly through the sky.”
“Oh, is that so? I see.”
I shook my head in a row.
Hagiya, there are nine nine heavenly sword spirits in his body, so how is it that a boat flies in the sky?
“But alchemy and magic engineering cost a lot of money.”
“Ah, I don’t think it’s done with a magic chant?”
“We need expensive materials to study alchemy and magic engineering. That’s why they say the price for one unit is unbelievable. I said that there is only one in the palace. But what is it that brings you here? Seeing as he didn’t stay in the village and left right away, I don’t think it was because of Elio-sama. Do you know why?”
