Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 1132

Episode 1132. Instead of doing favors, there are conditions.

Although the emperor took a break from working in the north, the 5th circle mage, Count Carby Kraser, was in the dark with the news going around the world because he was staying at the Magic Engineering Lab.

However, when the tower’s owner, Marquis Juliana Leola, stood up to greet Viscount Elio Lagoa, she quickly calmed down and forced a smile.

When Elio sat down in Count Carby Kraser’s seat, one of the two wizards with the Marquis got up and gave up his seat to the Count.

Seats were rearranged because one of the wizards who were accompanying the pagoda quietly left.

“What do you want to ask?”

To the Marquis’ question, Elio said without hesitation.

“I want to know where the perforation is. It is said that the Mage Tower knows best about Celestiality. Do you know?”

“Um, do you mean the abode of the god Kama Devias when you say sky?”

“yes. that’s right.”

Marquis Yuliana Leola seemed to be thinking about something for a moment.

In the meantime, Bardos’ performance was over.

Using a short break, Ariette Albano took a peek inside the room.

A young knight was sitting in front of Marquis Yuliana Leola.

The 4th circle mage, who was accompanying the Marquis, was taken away and fell behind.

‘Could that young knight be above the 4th circle mage?’

No, he could just be the Marquis’ horse partner.

I looked at the young knight as naturally as possible, but it was still a face I had never seen before.

‘Who is it?’

Ariette Albano, who had been imagining the identity of the young knight, regained her composure.

Because whoever he is, it’s time to play the next song.

Delirirling-!

This time, the harp in a vague tone began to play.

Suddenly, Marquis Juliana Leola saw Viscount Elio Lagoa.

“How do you feel about playing now?”

To the Marquis’ sudden question, Elio answered after rolling his eyes for a moment.

“I don’t know how it feels, but I miss the family I left behind in my hometown.”

“As expected…. The title of this song is ‘casa’ in the eastern language, and ‘house’ in the common language of the continent. I’m surprised you got it right twice in a row. Is this a song you’ve heard before?”

“Not at all. Rather, I’d like to hear about the Celestiality.”

“The Mage Tower knows well about the Celestiality… Rumors are bound to be exaggerated. There is only one ‘Ancient Poetry’ related to Celestiality in the Taboola Tower. There is one piece of poetry, but there are several books that have studied it. I read it once out of curiosity, but it was disappointing because it was all just floating stories.”

“May I know something?”

“These are books I read a long time ago, so I will have to read them again to understand them.”

“A story about catching floating clouds is good. I would be grateful if you could let me know anything about Porosity.”

“Whoops. It’s not a difficult request.”

Marquis Yuliana Leola gave strength to the word ‘request’.

However, Elio, who was insensitive to that, did not understand the meaning of the words.

When the desired reaction did not come from him, Marquis Yuliana Leola opened her mouth.

“Nothing is free in this world. Instead of granting a favor, there are conditions.”

“Conditions?”

“Let me teach you what we know about perforation. ‘Ancient Poetry’ too.”

“What can I do for you in return? As I told you beforehand, I only have about 300 silver.”

“Ho-ho-ho! I have no intention of asking for money from the hero of Hirhera.”

Before long, the Marquis turned his gaze to Count Carby Kraser.

“Did the Count say the beast he’s struggling to capture is ‘Draco’?”

“Yes, it has been over six months since I requested it from the mercenary guild, but I haven’t been able to get it yet. It’s a superlative beast, so it’s said that it’s difficult to catch it alive. I once received one that was on the verge of death… but it died within a day.”

“I see. It wouldn’t take a few days if the mercenary king stepped forward. Maybe it’s because of the checks from the other magic towers.”

Hearing the Marquis’ words, Elio asked with a surprised face.

“Do other mage towers keep you in check?”

“I guess you don’t know much about magic engineering yet. The Count is the director of the Magic Engineering Lab, so please explain.”

At the words of the Marquis, Count Carby Kraser reluctantly stepped forward.

“It’s no exaggeration to say that magic engineering is the exclusive property of our Tabula Magic Tower. It was our Taboola Magic Engineering Lab that produced the first magic gun. Of course, that was 200 years ago. As Tabula’s magic tower grew rapidly with the sale of magic guns, other magic towers rushed into magic engineering. At first, the technology of our Taboola Magic Tower advanced, but now it’s almost leveled. Faced with the limits of magic gun development, the head of the former research institute turned to golem production, an ancient technology that was lost. If you don’t take one step ahead of the other magic towers, you could be pushed out of the three magic towers at any time… That was an excellent choice. Then, the other magic towers also started copying the golem research.”

Elio shook his head.

Since wizards are also human, they seem to have followed what went well.

“Actually, golem crafting is a technology lost in ancient times… I don’t know how long it will take to commercialize it. However, the head of the previous research institute recreated the golem. However, the golem created by the research director could only carry out one command. He couldn’t even differentiate between his enemies and his friends. So he researched implanting the souls of tamed beasts into golem cores.”

“Putting the soul of a beast into a golem?”

“exactly. The 2nd generation golem created in that way is called Goliath.”

“…”

Elio’s mouth fell open.

I heard that wizards are cruel, but it was beyond my imagination.

“As a result, when other Mage Towers succeeded in producing first-generation golems, we were able to successfully produce multi-command and Goliaths that distinguish between enemies and allies. With Goliath, you have succeeded in widening the gap of more than one generation with other Mage Towers.”

“Is the beast you ask me to catch also to be put into Goliath?”

“Right. Draco is a dragon species, and it is known that his intelligence is very high and is close to that of a human. The Goliath made of Draco will be the ruler of the battlefield.”

“….”

“The other Mage Towers don’t want us to develop Goliath. That is why we continue to obstruct the capture of the finest beasts.”

“Doesn’t a beast as intelligent as a human say he’ll take revenge if that happens?”

“Among the Beast Tribe, there are sorcerers called Tamers. Beasts tamed by them cannot refuse human commands.”

“Ah, the tamer puts the soul of a tamed beast into a golem?”

“exactly. So far, that Goliath’s technology is only in our Taboola Magic Tower. After about a generation, other magic towers will also develop the technology, but… at that time, we will be one step ahead with another magic technology.”

“…”

Elio pondered for a moment.

It was because he wondered if he could use a beast with human-like intelligence for such a purpose.

As his thoughts grew longer, Count Carby Kraser added a word.

“His Majesty the Emperor is deeply interested in the creation of Goliath. If you help me, His Majesty the Emperor will show great interest in you.”

However, Elio did not react much to the Count’s words.

He was not interested in advancing in the empire, so he did not fall for the count’s tricks.

Marquis Yuliana Leola looked intently at Viscount Elio Lagoa.

‘Hmm. I thought he would respond right away because he wanted to know about perforation…’

I thought it was a light price, but I don’t know why he was worried.

‘I’ll just let you know, so I shouldn’t have told you to come find me?’

In a situation where conditions were placed on the face of the nobility, what did he do to make it happen and just let me know.

No, now that I think about it, I even brought in Count Kaby Kraser from the Magic Engineering Research Institute, so now it looks like it has to be exchanged.

Then Elio said.

“Draco, give me some time to think. It’s embarrassing because they’re as intelligent as humans. If there is no other way, I will.”

Elio was thinking of meeting the owners of the other Mage Towers first.

If the owners of other towers have data similar to the Taboola Tower, there is no need to cling to the Taboola Tower.

Then Count Carby Kraser frowned in displeasure.

‘Sheesh! How dare you disregard the tower lord’s proposal when you’re a self-made man…’

As he let go of his anger, Marquis Yuliana Leola smiled and said.

“Please. Please visit us anytime. The door to the Taboola Magic Tower is open to the Viscount.”

“thank you.”

Elio nodded to the Marquis and got up from his seat.

Ariette Albano, who finished her performance just in time, went down from the stage and Bardos, a sleek-looking man, came up on stage.

Then, Marquis Juliana Leola, who had come to listen to Ariette Albano’s performance, got up and left without regret.

When Elio returned, Fabian glanced at the empty seat of the marquis and his party and asked,

“Did your trip go well?”

“For now, it’s not bad.”

“Does it look bad?”

“That’s not right. I’ll let you know if you catch a wild beast alive.”

“Beast? where do you use it? Did you raise them in the Mage Tower?”

“Wizards are terrifying.”

“why?”

Elio ignored Fabian and asked Count Omar of Larva.

“Count, do you know that you are Goliath?”

“I have heard. Aren’t they the next-generation golems the Empire is developing?”

“You know. Do you know what goes in Goliath?”

“I know it as the spirit of the beast.”

“Doesn’t that seem like a secret?”

“There was a time when some Mage Towers criticized it for being a cruel technique. However, the golem’s limitations were so obvious that it quickly faded. Now I know that all Mage Towers develop Goliath.”

“I see.”

When the conversation between the two ended, Fabian asked again.

“But why did you say that wizards are terrifying?”

“Did you just hear? Putting the soul of a beast into a golem.”

“Yes, why?”

“Aren’t you cruel?”

“What is cruel? There is also a restaurant that sells food made from wild beast meat. Eating it or putting it in a golem, what’s the difference?”

“Even if I put the soul of a beast with similar intelligence to a human into a golem?”

“A beast is a beast. That being said, I can’t eat meat. Are you saying you can eat brainy beasts and not eat smart beasts? To say that is cruel.”

“Oh is that so? It’s strange, but do you understand?”

“So, why don’t you catch a beast as smart as a human?”

“how did you know? How is it?”

“I recognized it when the Viscount cursed at mages for being cruel.”

“I want you to catch Draco alive, a beast as intelligent as a human. Then I will teach you.”

“Where is it?”

“I don’t know.”

When Elio shrugged, Fabian chimed in.

“No, what if you don’t ask and just come? Isn’t that the basic of the basics?”

Then Count Omar of Larva intervened.

“If you go to the mercenary guild and ask, you’ll find out. You can also buy it through the Mercenary Guild in the Mage Tower.”

“that’s right. I made a request to the mercenary guild, but they said they brought me something that was dying. So, it’s like the research didn’t go right or something.”

“It is true that the more intelligent the beast, the harder it is to capture.”

Fabian said with his eyes shining as if he was going to visit the mercenary guild at any moment.

“Then can I go to the mercenary guild and ask?”

“no. Before that, I want to meet some of the other Mage Tower owners. If you can get information from other tower owners… You don’t have to do such cruel things.”
