Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 1470

1470 times. Do you know what to expect?

Elio felt the meaninglessness of life once again when he saw her hideous appearance before.

I had no idea that the Manaptras Church the spiritual pillar of humans in this world would end up like this.

I should have found out when the senior priest the senior priest came to the North in person.

I felt nauseous as I tried to smell the bad smell with my five senses already so keen.

Even the slums on the outskirts of the island were not as dirty as here.

As he was shaking his head a shout came from inside.

Elio cleared his throat and spoke a little louder.

“Are you there!”

It seems that the sound reached deep inside.

A middle-aged man opened the door slightly and stuck his head out.

“Who are you?”

“This is Count Elio Lagoa. “I have come to meet Apostle Anna Ramakrish.”

At that moment a middle-aged man burst open the door.

“Are you Count Lagoa? “Please wait a moment!”

The middle-aged man left the door open and rushed inside.

Soon people’s voices were heard from inside the main temple which was as quiet as a tomb.

He thought it was empty but he must have been holding his breath deep inside.

After a while a group of people poured into the main hall.

They were high-ranking priests including Apostle Anna Rama Krish and her priests.

Elio found Paladin Metatron among the priests and gave him a quick greeting.

Metatron responded by bowing his head with a puzzled look on his face.

But Metatron’s face looked better than before he lost his divine powers.

If it was gloomy before now it feels somewhat detached.

Among the high-ranking priests Chief Priest Deftero jumped out and pretended not to know.

“Count Lagoa you really came. thank you.”

“See you again.”

After greeting the old priest Elio turned his attention to Apostle Anna Ramakrish.

“It’s been a while.”

Apostle Anna Ramakrish said with a bitter smile.

“I see. I thought it was happening again at some point. “It wasn’t like this.”

“Why did Daeshinjeon become like this? “If people in the north see it they’ll think we’ve been attacked by a monster right?”

“You reap what you sow.”

“What do you mean?”

Anna Ramakrish sighed in response to Elio’s question.

“ha! In the past priests received money when they used divine power to heal people. To the point where I thought it was a little harsh. “People who didn’t have money didn’t even get treatment.”

Then Minister Hal Erian who was standing behind him spoke as if making an excuse.

“Rather than that priests are also humans…there is a limit to their divine power. “We couldn’t treat all the sick anyway.”

Apostle Anna Ramakrish continued her words self-deprecatingly.

“As you heard we couldn’t treat all the sick… so we treated those who paid. People without money continued to be left behind. But five years ago the divine power suddenly disappeared. When the priests and paladins lost their power… people from the slums came and turned the Great Temple upside down shouting ‘God is dead.’”

“Tsk! “You have paid a heavy price for losing people’s hearts.”

“What can I do? “You have to get what you get.”

Elio nodded his head and got straight to the point.

“Then why did you ask to meet me?”

“I received an oracle. “About the location of the magic stone that supports the Black Sun.”

“As expected it was like that. “Where is it?”

“Abyss.”

“….”

Elio thought she had heard wrong so he tilted his head and asked her back.

“Where?”

“It’s in the Abyss.”

With her words Anna Rama Krish raised her finger and pointed to her stomach.

Only then did she realize that Elio had not heard wrong.

“If it’s the Abyss… isn’t it the black sun?”

“that’s right.”

“There’s a magic stone there?”

“yes. Mana Ptras clearly said so.”

“I thought it would be in Tameion or the Great Forest… but that’s surprising.”

Elio looked at Apostle Anna Ramakrish with a puzzled expression.

Although it is difficult to reach the Black Sun the Abyss is a place as vast as the Rodina continent.

Finding a magic stone there was like finding a needle in the desert.

“I know the location of the magic stone so you don’t have to worry too much.”

“Do you want to enter the Abyss yourself?”

“yes. The Empire is planning to conquer the Abyss. “I hope Count Lagoa will join the Abyss Conquest Army.”

“To get to the Abyss you have to pass through the Black Sun… What can the imperial army do…”

“We’re conscripting airships.”

“ah!”

“Soon we will ask for cooperation from the northern kingdoms as well. “There aren’t many airships in the Northern Kingdom but right now even one is a shame.”

“It would be difficult with just the airship.”

The Abyss is the heart of the evil god Shaitin.

Of course there were demon lords as well as gods who followed the evil god Shaitin like the god Antar.

It is questionable whether the imperial army’s Exitium will work against gods like Antar.

“That’s why I need the Count’s help. We have no intention of fighting the evil Shaitin. “We will only destroy the magic stone and escape quickly.”

“Hmm. All right. “I will join too.”

Elio readily accepted the request to join the Abyss Conquest Army.

Since his purpose was the same as that of his conquering army he had no reason to refuse.

Apostle Anna Ramakrish’s face bloomed brightly.

This is because Count Lagoa’s cooperation was absolutely necessary to destroy the magic stone.

Before joining the conquest army I was worried about what would happen if Count Lagoa placed conditions that were difficult to accept but it was so easy that I actually felt sorry for him.

“thank you. “The Count is a benefactor of the Manaptras Church.”

“you’re welcome. But did the Emperor of the Empire believe what you said?”

“For those who have received the blessings of Manaptras the position of an apostle is very special.”

“Are you saying it will be acknowledged even if the divine power has disappeared?”

“Apart from the divine power if an apostle declares excommunication… the mana blessing they received also disappears. Therefore we have no choice but to recognize the authority of the apostle.”

“aha.”

Elio looked at Apostle Anna Ramakrish with new eyes.

I thought the Manaptras Church was completely ruined but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Perhaps conscious of Elio’s gaze Apostle Anna Rama Krish added her words.

“That only applies to me the apostle. Priests and paladins who have lost their divine power… are not even treated as human beings. “When the poor attacked the main shrine the security forces just looked back and watched.”

“Oh my.”

“I can’t even say that I will serve you because the main shrine is like this. “If you go to the government office in Buk-gu and request accommodation they will guide you.”

“All right. “By the way when do you think the conquering army will depart?”

“It won’t last more than a month. “As soon as the airship from the Northern Kingdom arrives we will depart.”

“It’s only for a month… I guess I’ll have to provide accommodation.”

A long stay of one month would cost quite a bit of money.

It seemed as if Apostle Anna Ramakrish knew the reason for visiting the imperial office.

After saying goodbye to Apostle Anna Ramakrish Elio immediately went to the government office in Northern Europe.

As the capital of an empire the government offices in Northern Europe were operating normally even in this dark world.

When Elio revealed his identity Baron Walter Beck came running.

“Your Excellency Count Lagoa. It’s been a while since I last saw you. “This is Baron Walter Beck Director of the Administration.”

“Oh it’s been a while. “I came here again to be indebted to you.”

“I’m sorry don’t worry. I’m sorry I couldn’t help you more before. “I was also tied to the government office… and there was nothing I could do under imperial law.”

About six years ago while Elio was searching for Magenta she received help from Imperial Intelligence.

But the relationship didn’t last long.

When Elio let Magenta go without killing her the empire immediately cut off support.

The practitioner at that time was Baron Walter Beck.

“I understand. If his superiors criticize him he has no choice but to criticize them. “Isn’t that right?”

“Haha… thank you for understanding. Are you by any chance stopping by Daesinjeon Temple?”

“Yes Apostle Anna Ramakrish told me to inquire about accommodation at the government office.”

“Have you decided to join the conquest army?”

“That’s it.”

“It’s an honor to be with you. “On behalf of the people of the Empire I would like to thank His Excellency the Count for his decision.”

Elio chuckled at the Baron’s exaggerated greeting.

This is because I know that the empire is something that can be ignored even if things continue like this.

Baron Beck led Elio to an inn not far from the government office.

From that day on Elio stayed at her inn.

Even after 15 days no one came to visit the main shrine or the government office.

Elio curious about her progress went to see Jeon instead.

She served on behalf of Manaptras.

Apostle Anna Ramakrish’s face looked haggard than it did fifteen days ago.

“I guess things aren’t going well?”

“Is her face that bad?”

In response to Apostle Anna Ramakrish’s rebuttal Elio nodded her head.

“yes.”

“ha! That’s because the Northern Kingdom’s response didn’t meet expectations. “I even informed you that the Count has joined the conquest army but he does not accept the conquest of the Abyss purely.”

“Are you saying you think the imperial conquest army has other intentions?”

“I think I believe the steel golem has a purpose.”

“her….”

Elio was shocked but on the other hand she could understand the Northern Kingdom’s suspicions.

This is because the kingdom’s biggest enemy is the empire.

The Manaptras Church wants to return the world to its pre-dark state but in the bright world the main enemy of the kingdom is the Empire!

It was natural that the kingdoms did not look purely at the imperial army’s conquest of the Abyss.

“We decided to send airships from only two kingdoms.”

“Where is it?”

“The Kingdom of Escatos and the Kingdom of Baylem.”

A bitter smile appeared on Elio’s lips.

The Kingdom of Eskatos must have sent it out of respect and the Kingdom of Baylem must have been sent by Count Larva Omar.

“By the way Apostle Anna.”

“yes?”

“Are you sure that the Imperial Conquest Army will not dig up steel golems in the Abyss?”

“Wouldn’t you? It’s hard to destroy the magic stone…”

“Apostle Anna you’re not sure either?”

“Because I am not the emperor.”

“The current emperor is Louis Fraser III right?”

“Yes the Emperor transferred the throne three years ago.”

“If the current emperor is Louis Fraser III I think it is reasonable for him to have other intentions… What do you think Apostle Anna?”

Louis Fraser III went to war with the Southern Kingdom five years ago when he was crown prince.

The starting point of the war is the steel golem unearthed from the Abyss.

Is there any way that Louis Fraser III would not be greedy for a steel golem?

Apostle Anna Ramakrish avoided giving a direct answer.

She didn’t trust the emperor either but she couldn’t bear to reveal her true feelings.

“I… I don’t know. However it is clear that the purpose of the Abyss Conquest Army is to destroy the magic stone. The world will not be restored unless the magic stone is destroyed. “Even the current emperor knows that.”

“I understand. “Then when will the two airships arrive?”

“I heard it was in ten days.”

“So the Abyss Conquest Army will take off in ten days?”

Elio’s hand rose diagonally like an airship.

“Maybe.”

“I’m looking forward to it.”

Elio bowed to Apostle Anna Ramakrish and turned around to leave.

She asked High Priest Hal Erian.

“Do you know what Anna is looking forward to?”

“I have no idea. “His thoughts are truly unpredictable.”

“I heard that the new emperor hates him. “I am worried about whether the Abyss Conquest Army will perform well.”

“All I want is the destruction of the magic stone. “Anything else doesn’t really matter.”

“The new emperor…”

Apostle Anna Ramakrish interrupted High Priest Hal Erian.

“Stop it. We are the servants of Manapthras. High Priest please focus only on reviving Manaptras’ power.”

“All right.”

High Priest Hal Erian did not express his anger at Apostle Anna’s resolute words.
