Episode 1143. At the end of the words , ‘Evil Sea’ and Celestial
Elio gnashed their teeth.
Conversation with a person with a twisted stomach is tiring and uncomfortable.
Even so, she endured it purely because of the owner of the Abraxas Magic Tower.
You can’t gossip in front of someone who invites you with good intentions.
Moreover, the head of the Dionysian Tower said.
―The Viscount’s information may be at the level of rumors floating around in the market… If so, aren’t we losing money?
That means that the information you have is quite advanced.
Elio was in no hurry.
Lies and bragging won’t work here anyway.
“As you all know, I am looking for information on perforation. That’s why I met the tower lord of Abraxas Magic Tower. At that time, the pagoda owner said that he would invite him to the regular meeting of the pagoda owners in Buk-gu. After that, I spent time at Fermosa Estella without doing anything. Then, by chance, I met the owner of the Tabula Magic Tower, who came to see Bardos’ performance.”
The pagoda owners, who had been listening with bored faces, pricked up their ears when the story of Taboola Magic Pagoda came out.
Elio told the story of what happened after he went to Taboola Mage’s Tower at the invitation of Marquis Yuliana Leola.
“…That’s how the Taboola Magic Tower was destroyed except for the 6th floor.”
Tower owners looked at Viscount Elio Lagoa with absurd eyes.
For a while, no one opened their mouth to such a shocking remark.
Marquis Yuliana Leola is a mage of the 6th circle, a person that even a sword master cannot take care of.
In addition, there are numerous 5th circle wizards in the Taboola Mage Tower.
A force equal to that of a decent kingdom was defeated by just one person?
Viscount Elio Lagoa said he had done it, but he did not readily believe it.
Either that or not, Elio said to the owner of the Dionish Magic Tower.
“As promised, I have revealed the reason for the collapse of the Taboola Magic Tower. Now it’s the top lord’s turn. Please tell me information about Porosity.”
“…”
At that moment, the eyes of the pagoda owners all turned to Alexio Berta, the pagoda owner of the Dionish Mage Tower.
Alexio Berta, who had been hesitant, took his luck with an ambiguous face.
“Before that, check whether the viscount’s words are true or not…”
Before he could finish his words, Elio drew his longsword.
Woo woo-.
A white light aura blade extended from the tip of the longsword.
“how? Will you believe me if I destroy this place too?”
Tower owners looked at Viscount Elio Lagoa with new eyes.
He looks weak, but it’s surprising that he’s a sword master.
However, all of the tower owners in the northern region were close to sword masters in terms of a 5th circle swordsman, so they did not lose their composure even in front of the Aura Blade.
Yes, it was because the opponent was one.
Of course, if he is the one who destroyed the Taboola Tower, he deserves to be on guard.
However, the tower owners were in a state of dubious doubt.
Considering the age of Viscount Elio Lagoa and the fact that he was a Reiki practitioner, it was inevitable.
At Viscount Elio Lagoa’s provocative remarks, Alexio Berta, the owner of the Dionysi Magic Tower, was furious.
Are you breaking here too?
No matter who heard it, it was the sound of belittling the Dionysi Magic Tower.
“I don’t believe the viscount has the ability to do that, but be aware that if you attack the magic tower, you may be counterattacked.”
At least, the opponent is a sword master, so he is giving a warning.
If he had said something like that to the sword expert, he would have already punished him with magic.
The corners of Elio’s lips went up.
What people who think they use strength have in common is that you have to take a picture to know whether it is poop or soybean paste.
“I’ll scoop you up if you want. Counterattack or whatever you like. Are you leaving then?”
Elio lightly swung his longsword.
Shuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The aura blade that flew like lightning hit the stone wall in front.
Kwaaang-!
There was a deafening explosion, but nonetheless!
Due to the effect of various protective magic circles, the stone walls were not even scratched.
As predicted by Alexio Berta, the owner of the Dionish Magic Tower, they launched a counterattack.
As he pointed his staff at Viscount Elio Lagoa, a series of explosions erupted around Viscount Elio Lagoa.
It was the 5th Circle Magic Explosion.
bang! bang! bang! Quaang-!
Viscount Elio Lagoa could not be seen in the flames and smoke.
Tower owners stared at the smoke with expectant eyes.
As the smoke subsided, Alexio Berta nervously waved his staff.
Roaring!
A wall of flame pushed towards Viscount Elio Lagoa.
It is also the 5th circle magic, Fire Wall.
Beads of sweat formed on Alexio Berta’s face after performing the 5th circle magic twice in a row.
Now, with one 5th circle magic, his mana hole would be empty.
Elio swung his longsword fiercely at the approaching wall of flame.
Kwaaang-!
With an explosion, flames flew in all directions.
After destroying the fire wall in one blow, Elio swung his longsword once more without delay.
Tsutsutsutsutsu-!
Hundreds of sword spirits rushed to the wall in front once again.
It was Gucheongugeom Ohsik Mountain Geomjeolji (散劍滅地).
Cuckoo-cuckoo-!
The tower began to vibrate after being struck by hundreds of sword spirits.
A smile spread across Elio’s face.
The magic circle of the Dionish Tower seemed weaker than the Tabula Tower.
‘At this level, the sword of the Gucheongu Sword would be enough, right?’
Hundreds of sword spirits were created around him.
It was when Elio was about to point the stone wall in front with his sword blade.
“Stop it!”
Alexio Berta screamed as if he couldn’t do it anymore.
The sword spirits of the mountain sword extinction, which numbered in the hundreds, disappeared.
“Do you believe?”
When Elio asked to confirm, Alexio Berta nodded with a distorted face.
Wizards are rational.
He didn’t even dare to fight anymore because his opponent lightly spilled the 5th circle magic.
“I will teach you the information about the Celestial Star that our Dionish Magic Tower knows. In the records left by the first owner of the pagoda, there is a record that ‘I witnessed the Celestial Castle’.”
“Couldn’t that be all?”
“No, of course. It is written that he witnessed the Celestial Star while sailing the East Sea.”
“Are you Donghae?”
“In ancient times, the sea on the eastern side of the continent was called the East Sea. Although it is called the Fiestra Sea now.”
“So you saw a sky star in the Fiestra Sea? it’s short Are you done with that?”
“That’s what I summarized… They say they encountered a typhoon in the East Sea, lost their course, and wandered for three days. One day, they saw a star floating on the horizon.”
“A sky star is in the sky?”
“Isn’t it natural that it is the dwelling place of the sun god?”
“Oh is that so? Are there any other records of perforation?”
“They say the island shone like an emerald.”
“Hmm!”
A groan escaped Elio’s mouth.
Come to think of it, the poem I got from the Taboola Magic Tower also had the phrase ‘green island’.
Since the emerald [翠玉] is green, you might have witnessed a real celestial star.
“With that kind of record, I think I would have searched all over the Fiestra Sea from the Dionish Magic Tower… Didn’t you get any results?”
“If you sail east from the Fiestra Sea for about a day, you will come to an area called the ‘Evil Sea’, which is famous for missing airships and ships.”
“Are you missing? Will it crash or sink?”
“exactly. It must be at that point that the first pagoda owner met a typhoon and lost his course. Now, non-airships are also roaming the ‘Evil Sea’.”
“Then, could there be perforation in that ‘Evil Sea’?”
Alexio Berta asked a question instead of an answer.
“Isn’t there anyone who has passed through the ‘Evil Sea’ in the past thousands of years?”
“Have you been?”
“There were people who happened to pass through the ‘Sea of Demons’ by chance. But they said they saw nothing there. After that, the ‘Evil Sea’ remained just the ‘Evil Sea’.”
“Didn’t you say that there are people who got through by luck? The ‘Evil Sea’ is so dangerous, so why did they go there?”
“The ‘Evil Sea’ is dangerous, so fishing boats have been avoiding it for thousands of years, and as a result, fish resources have become abundant in the area.”
“You mean you went in without knowing while fishing?”
“exactly. It’s not like the ‘Evil Sea’ is marked on the sea.”
“By the way, did you mean that there was no perforation in the ‘Evil Sea’?”
“If the person who said they saw it came out again… I would have continued to send expeditions to the ‘Evil Sea’ from the Empire and Kingdom. To meet the sun god.”
“I guess so. I heard you. Certainly better than rumors.”
At Viscount Elio Lagoa’s praise, Alexio Berta made a grotesque expression.
‘damn. I can see why the Taboola Magic Tower is hesitating.’
After being praised by a viscount, a sense of contempt came over me along with relief.
Abraxas Mage Tower owner Valter Ord, who was watching between Viscount Elio Lagoa and Dionish Magic Tower owner, said to Alexio Berta.
“Now that it’s over, let’s straighten our faces. It’s a good thing for us as the reputation of the Taboola Magic Tower has been ruined by this incident. Let’s try harder and listen to the sound of the Five Horse Towers.”
It was a mouthful, but the tower owners nodded vigorously.
As the atmosphere eased, Elio naturally left the conference room.
***
Islands southwest.
Principality of Hednar.
A group of people were walking along the boulevard in the setting sun.
The wizards of the Tabula Mage Tower and Emily, the prisoner girl they are escorting.
The leader, 4th Circle mage Linda Kelly, said to the wizards.
“I will be staying here tonight, so prepare to sleep.”
“yes.”
After the four wizards answered with one voice, they scattered in search of their own work.
Linda Kelly gestured to Emily.
Emily approached the middle-aged sorceress who had called her with anxious eyes.
“There is nothing to be nervous about. It’s because I have a few things to check.”
“yes.”
Emily, who became even more nervous at the wizard’s words, shrugged her shoulders.
“You worked at the Magic Engineering Lab for two years?”
“yes.”
“What have you done? I’m asking because I don’t know much about the work of the Magic Engineering Research Institute.”
“I worked on taming the beast.”
“What do you use for taming a beast in the Mage Tower?”
Linda Kelly tilted her head with a ignorant face.
“Because Goliath is complete only when the soul of a tamed beast is put into the core of the golem.”
“It’s amazing that you even know that.”
Linda Kelly looked at Su-in with curious eyes.
It was the same as saying that with that level of knowledge, you knew everything worth knowing.
“Are you the only prisoner in the Magic Engineering Lab?”
“no. There was one more.”
“Do you know the name?”
“Eva Meles.”
“Is that prisoner also a prisoner taken over by the police?”
“I heard that.”
“Did he meekly admit his guilt?”
“yes.”
“Ohh. It seems the two of you were pretty close. As long as you can talk like that.”
“Because there were only two prisoners.”
“What did Eva Meles do there? Did he make Goliath too?”
“no. I have tamed the beast Goliath needs.”
“Then what did he do? Was there anything else a tamer could do?”
There was a dark aura in Linda Kelly’s eyes, but Emily didn’t detect it.
“I don’t know. He was out on a business trip.”
“Didn’t you tell me where you were and what you were doing?”
“I once asked where you’ve been, but… he said you don’t need to know.”
“So you don’t know?”
“yes.”
Emily’s heart sank as the wizard dug into it.
I wonder if I was bragging about the work of the Magic Engineering Lab.
Fortunately, however, the wizard was not upset with that part.
On the contrary, he cautioned.
“The Magic Engineering Lab is the place where the most important work is done in the Magic Tower. If you tell others about the work there, then you truly become a sinner. If you don’t want to be captured by the security forces… you should know what you experienced in the Mage Tower to yourself.”
