Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1300

1300 times. It’s the first time I’ve seen him like that,

too. Exo’s bar.

Warlock Charles Manson drank lightly and overheard the conversation of the mercenaries.

The seven days that led the three mercenaries to leave Exo Island.

If you are not going to make an ambush in the unexplored land, now is the time to return.

The Abyss is large, but rumors spread quickly.

More than anything, there are many eyes that are hiding and watching.

Groups with weak powers were reluctant to meet with other groups, so they always erased their presence.

On the other hand, kingdoms and mercenary guilds sent spies to major frontiers to keep an eye on them.

Given the circumstances, we cannot be relieved that there are no witnesses.

In seven days, it was time for word to come out, whether the survivors of the three mercenaries returned, someone accidentally witnessed it, or through the watchers scattered everywhere.

The voices of the mercenaries who had been drinking since early evening in a corner seat became a little higher.

“The engagement that took place in the Valley of Skulls three days ago.”

“It was brutal.”

“The southern kingdom army and the imperial adventurers must have collided, right?”

“If you look at the wreckage of the smashed magic gun, you’ll get an answer. At a glance, it seemed to be close to 100. There is no mercenary group with a magic gun like that.”

“Yah! Even though magic engineering has developed so much, you’re saying you can’t compete with magic yet?”

“Why is it so connected again?”

“You too have seen the wild hills turned into beehives. Doing those smashed magic guns… What would happen if you fired hundreds of magic guns? They all die in one shot of wide-area magic.”

Then another mercenary in the seat next to him intervened.

“From what I’ve heard, you seem like a mercenary from the Empire, but you’re exaggerating a lot. Even the most brilliant wizard would have been turned into a beehive with hundreds of magic guns, but what kind of wide-area magic killed them all in one shot? Do you think the Empire should spread rumors like that?”

For an instant, the surroundings became quiet.

The mercenary seated next to him seemed to think the man was speaking as a duke on the side of the Empire.

The attention of the mercenaries in the bar was focused on two groups.

All of them were from kingdoms or empires, so they were interested in their own business.

Then, the mercenary who spoke first blushed and said.

“The Empire side? Don’t say anything that doesn’t work. We are the mercenaries of the Shade Kingdom.”

Along with the horse, the man took out a mercenary plaque from his bosom and showed it to the mercenary seated next to him.

Still, the mercenary seated next to him did not immediately take his suspicious glance.

This is because when it comes to the empire, you can manipulate as much as you want with mercenary cards.

“Let’s be careful as the time is right. The situation in the Abyss is not a little different from the ground. If the kingdom and the empire do not help each other, the frontier will be lost.

Then the Shade Kingdom mercenary said as if he was unfair.

“Honestly, I don’t know which side is the Kingdom and which side is the Empire, but it is true that a great battle took place in the Valley of Skulls.”

“Did you see them fire hundreds of magic guns?”

“I can’t say anything because I saw it. It was early evening, so the traces of the red magic bullets could be clearly seen from a distance.”

Momentarily, a sneer crept across the mouth of the mercenary next to him.

“Did you say that the trail of the magic bullet is now red?”

“It is.”

“Have you ever participated in the Yeongji War?”

“None.”

“I knew you would. Anyone who had participated in the Yeongji War wouldn’t have told such a lie. I used to be a gunman, but magic bullets don’t leave traces even at night. On the contrary, if it is properly inserted somewhere, a blue spark will fly. Even if I saw the trajectory, would I not know if it was blue? There are no red magic bullets.”

“No, because it’s really hot. I’m not the only one who saw it. hey say something Is that red? Are you blue?”

The young mercenary who was talking with the mercenary Shade immediately replied.

“It was dark red like lava. It was never blue.”

“Did you hear? It’s really red. Oh really! You should have seen a hundred or so red lights flying into the valley.”

He slightly inflated it to say ‘a hundred or so lines of red light’ because he had the number of magic guns he mentioned at the beginning.

But whether it was ten or a hundred, it didn’t mean much to the mercenary next to him.

“Sorry, but as far as I know, there is no magic bullet with a red trail.”

The middle-aged mercenary smiled as if he was no longer interested and turned his upper body.

Originally, the mercenaries of the Shade Kingdom, who had been hiding due to their weak power, did not object.

It’s because you have to keep claiming that you saw it, because it’s only a quarrel.

As the subject of conversation changed, Charles Manson quietly rose from his seat.

‘Three days ago…’

At that level, traces of the fierce battle would still remain.

After paying for the drink, his new model, who went outside, melted into the darkness.

dawn the next day.

An elderly man appeared in the Valley of Skulls.

This is Charles Manson, the warlock who was at Exo’s bar last night.

As he moved forward, carefully examining the Valley of Skulls, his steps stopped at the end of the valley.

There were two tombs in a cozy place facing the cliff – the soil was not yet dry.

“Whoops!”

One of the two tombs would have to do with the extinction of the divine being.

The corner of his mouth went up at the thought that he had finally completed his revenge and request.

I looked at the unexplored lands that led to it with a curious mind.

I knew it!

As the Shade Kingdom mercenaries said, traces of the fierce battle remained intact.

It was unclear whether the body had been eaten by a beast in the meantime, but it was clear that he had given away the pieces of the magic gun scattered on the hollow ground to the mercenaries.

He picked up a mercenary plaque half buried in the soil and examined it.

Looking at the engraved snake pattern, it is the Viper Mercenary Corps.

“Tsk! Poor bastards.”

It seems that he was killed by wide-area technology and had no time to escape.

Throwing away the mercenary plaque, he went back to the two graves.

It was certain that the three mercenary groups attacked Count Helio Lagoa and his party.

“One of the two must be Count Lagoa, right?”

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

The ground shuddered, and soon the mound of dirt from the tomb flowed down like water.

Like a suspicious wizard, he would rather check the corpse with his own eyes than wait for the adventurers in Exo Island.

Like the ebb tide, the soil receded, revealing two corpses.

Their heads were covered with clothes, but looking at their clothes, they are both men.

A dry saliva gulped down the throat of Charles Manson.

In time, he approached a relatively small physique.

It was because Count Elio Lagoa’s body was not as large as the other corpses.

Charles Manson’s hand tugged at the clothes covering the corpse’s head.

‘this!’

A groan escaped from his mouth.

I assumed it was Count Elio Lagoa, but a middle-aged man came out.

Still, just in case, this time I even removed the clothes that covered the body of the giant.

As expected, he is a middle-aged man with thick facial lines.

‘Shit! Then who is dead?’

Unlike cunning people, stars don’t lie.

Not too long ago, the stars announced the death of a hero who apparently rivaled a god.

I thought it was Elio Lagoa, but it must have meant someone else.

Charles Manson, who was standing there with a despondent face, moved to the unexplored land when he thought about excitium.

It is to recover what may remain.

I searched around the broken magic gun, but I couldn’t find Excitium.

The mercenaries must have used them all, or someone passing by must have picked them up.

He hoped the mercenaries had used them all.

It’s because it’s a headache if Axisium gets into the hands of other mercenaries.

But even that was nothing compared to the danger of Count Helio Lagoa.

‘Since you’ve done this, you’ll know that there is a magic tower behind you unless you’re an idiot…’

If the magic tower is robbed, your existence will soon be revealed.

Charles Manson trudged to Mount Petra with his shoulders drooping.

***

Wilderness.

Even after Tynelock died, Fabian, who was alone in the lead, spoke nonchalantly.

“I think it’s time to get to the Ceratops habitat, isn’t it?”

But there is no answer.

Belatedly aware of Tynelock’s death, Fabian answered himself.

“Looking at the smell of sulfur on the ground, it’s a Ceratops habitat. uh? It’s a Ceratops!”

Fabian involuntarily stood still.

About 30 meters ahead, a horned lizard the size of a crocodile stood among the white smoke rising over the cracked ground.

Like a rhinoceros, the huge and sharp horns on its nose looked dangerous, but just like the rumors that it was docile, it didn’t pay attention to people.

said Baron Howard Solon, who followed.

“The horns are as sharp as the point of a spear.”

“You’re a monster, too. It’s creepy to think that it’s going crazy.”

Crea also helped with a word.

“I hope someone else doesn’t provoke Ceratops.”

Feeling terrified at those words, Fabian looked around.

Fortunately, there were no visible people within sight.

“Whew!”

Fabian let out a long sigh of relief.

It was said that he was surprised to see the lid of the pot when he grew up, and recently, in the aftermath of an ambush, Fabian used to be surprised at even small things.

“Aren’t you too sensitive, brother?”

Baron Howard Solon looked at Fabian with worried eyes.

After the ambush in Skull Valley, Fabian seemed to have lost his unique composure.

“Until Sir Lagoa calms himself down, I must stay alert too.”

“Sir Lagoa, will you be all right?”

These days, like Baron Howard Solon and Creado Fabian, Count Helio Lagoa is referred to as ‘Lord Lagoa’.

Maybe that’s why it feels like we’re closer than just calling him ‘Adventurer’.

“of course.”

“I am worried. You have no words these days. Have you ever been like that before?”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen you like that.”

Meanwhile, Helio and Count Omar of Larva joined the lead.

Count Larva Omar asked in place of Elio, who was standing with a bewildered face.

“Why did you stop?”

“I want to inform you that we have arrived at the Ceratops habitat. The one with spear-like horns over there is Ceratops.”

“This is the brimstone field.”

Count Larva Omar looked around slowly.

I heard that the mercenary guild hired a handyman and came all the way here to collect sulfur, but it was quiet.

“The white smoke coming up from under the ground is like sulfur gas. I feel like I’m suffocating already. Even if it takes a little detour, I will move to a place with less gas.”

“You don’t have to tell me, but if you see someone, pay attention. Ambush men disguised as handymen might provoke Ceratops.”

“Yes, but Sir Lagoa didn’t say anything?”

At Fabian’s question, Count Larva Omar shook his head.

After the saintess disappeared, Count Elio Lagoa did not say a single word.

He looked like a crazy person, not a grand master who made the world cry.

I am worried that I will be able to fight Ushas Undra only like that.

I know that the saintess and Count Elio Lagoa have an unusual relationship, but I don’t know if her disappearance is such a shock.

‘A saintess is a being who will always leave…’

Doesn’t this sound like a bereavement of a loved one?
