Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 1289

1290 episodes. Even though the wave has passed, the next day I was told what would happen

.

Elio’s party said goodbye to Mount Parton and headed for Mount Petra.

Baron Howard Solon, who was walking with his back to Mount Parton, muttered nonchalantly.

“I was attacked around here last time.”

“It’s not? It was a desert, right?”

In response to Crea’s rebuttal, Baron Howard Solon spoke as if explaining.

“Of course, the direction is different, but in terms of distance, that’s it. When he got to this point, the magic bullet…”

As he blurted out, Crea looked around the extension with a tense face.

Then Baron Howard Solon shook his shoulders and laughed.

“Puhaha! what are you so surprised What kind of idiot is going to do the same thing again? Besides, the mercenaries who were aiming for our backs died on the spot.”

At Baron Howard Solon’s teasing, Crea said with a straight face.

“It was like that just in case. Besides, there are some strange ones.”

“What’s wrong?”

“A magic gun. Dozens of magic bullets flew at once that day, right? Are there any mercenaries with that many magic guns?”

“It’s Abyss. Of course it is.”

“Is it natural?”

“Imperial forces haven’t advanced yet, but the southern kingdom forces are guarding the mine. The magic gun must have been smuggled out from the southern kingdom forces in Abyss.”

“I see…”

“It’s famous for munitions managers to steal magic guns and sell them.”

That’s true.

The munitions managers could easily steal the magic gun if they wanted to.

You only have to manipulate the numbers on the ledger, so it’s like swimming on the ground.

They manipulated the numbers and reassembled the magic gun outside the unit with stolen parts, or sold the magic gun on the black market saying that it was scrapped for reasons such as damage or unrepairable.

It was an open secret that ‘the number of magic guns smuggled out is greater than the number of magic guns that the mercenaries received after participating in the kingdom’s civil war or territory war’.

Crea glanced back at Mount Parton.

I feel a little creepy, perhaps because of the memory of the last raid.

‘But still, we have the saintess and the count of Lagoa…’

There is no reason to be afraid as there is a one-man corps, the Count Elio of Lagoa, and a saint who heals any wound.

Consoling herself like that, she took a brave step forward.

Elio is a man with thin ears.

He immediately released an aura towards Mount Parton and checked the abnormality.

Due to the influence of Chaos, the aura fell short of the halfway point of Mount Parton.

But just checking that distance was enough.

That’s because that’s the effective range of the Magic Gun.

After moving for a full day, the shape of a dark mountain appeared on the horizon.

It’s Petra Mountain.

No matter how tall the mountain was, it lay long across the entire horizon.

It was different from what I had seen on the plains of Evrima.

“Wow! Isn’t that a mountain range?”

At Elio’s words, Luna Mylus nodded and exclaimed.

“The mountain is not high, but it is really wide!”

There are no rugged mountain peaks, but they are so wide that you can’t even see them all at a glance.

“I think you know why the southern kingdoms couldn’t monopolize Mount Petra.”

Elio shook his head excitedly.

At that size, even the Londinium Empire would be unable to control it.

Elio and his party made camp on the plain overlooking Mount Petra.

While Baron Howard Solon and Tynelock set up three tents, Fabian seemed to notice as well, setting up cots and tables.

Crea hung the pot on Fabian’s bonfire.

At some point, cooking became the responsibility of Crea.

Some of her cooking skills are outstanding, but more than anything else, it came naturally because she loved to cook.

Elio just took out the ingredients Crea wanted from Mahadam.

The paladin Almet Hareb, who was watching Elio from the side, asked sneakily.

“Excuse me, but how big is Lord Lagoa’s Subspace Warehouse?”

“why?”

“From the tents to the tables, chairs, beds, and even the ingredients… it seems there is no end.”

“It is not as big as I thought. Would it be about one warehouse in the lord castle?”

“her! Do you have a warehouse in the lord castle?”

The paladin’s mouth was wide open.

The commonly known size of a subspace warehouse is 1 meter wide, 1 meter long and 1 meter high.

High-ranking wizards put magic books, gems, and rare alchemy materials in it.

Sundries such as tents and bedside tables cannot be put in.

‘No, even if the space is large, someone puts such things in the sub-space storage.’

Anyone would try to fill it with only expensive and rare items.

But to fill that place with daily necessities.

Almet Hareb couldn’t help but be surprised at the size and use of the subspace warehouse that Count Lagoa had.

After dinner, the party chatted around the bonfire and scattered one by one.

The night in Abyss after the wave was over was desolate.

The first night watch was a tine lock.

He picked up dry twigs nearby and piled them in a heap by the campfire.

‘This should be enough for the night, right?’

At other times, I would have picked up exactly what I needed, but not anymore.

It was because everyone was like family, except for the paladin who only followed the saint.

He stared at the burning bonfire with pleased eyes.

I can’t believe the luck that came to me.

Even when I was first assigned as an escort knight for Howard Solon, my eyes were dark, but looking back, it was heaven’s care.

As a result, he learned the swordsmanship of Count Helio Lagoa.

The distant realm of a sword master now feels as close as if you could touch it if you stretched out your hand.

It’s not just a patterned sword master, it’s a real sword master.

The small heavenly circuit learned from Count Elio Lagoa fully draws out the power of Reiki.

My heart fluttered at the thought of demonstrating my abilities approaching that of a real sword master.

‘huh?’

Hearing a faint sound in the distance, Tynlock rose from his seat.

According to my experience so far, anything I encountered in the Abyss was dangerous.

Awakened, Tynelock silenced the footsteps and melted into the darkness.

After a while, a bitter smile appeared on Tynlock’s face as he returned to the campfire.

I looked around the campsite, but couldn’t find anything.

“Hey, the wave has passed, so what is there?”

He tossed a twig into the campfire, then pulled out a piece of jerky from his pocket and chewed it.

***

Midway between Mount Parton and Mount Petra.

Shortly after the pursuit team returned, Heldok Viper Slater, the mercenary leader, gathered again.

The Heldok mercenary leader said with a firm face.

“Judging by the adventurers going to Mount Petra… it seems that they are going to the wilderness via ‘Skull Valley’. Let’s ambush at Mount Petra.”

Then the viper mercenary leader shook his head.

“I can’t say that. Not only the southern kingdoms, but also famous mercenaries are all gathered in the mine… If you start a commotion there, you’ll be caught in no time.”

“It’s okay since I don’t care about other people’s business in the Abyss. It’s none of their business, so who’s after us?”

“What I don’t know. If it wasn’t a magic gun, they’d pretend they didn’t know… but we have a lot of magic guns, right? That sound will make you think the Imperial Army has invaded the mine.”

At those words, the Helldok mercenary commander’s mouth said, ‘Grunt!’ and a sound of pain came out.

It’s not that it’s not, the sound of the magic gun at that level would topple Mount Petra.

But there was no better place than Mount Petra.

“So what are you going to do? Do you think we’ll have a chance once adventurers go into the wild? As I said before, the Helldok mercenary corps will not enter the unexplored lands.”

“You know. But I can’t work on Mount Petra. It’s too dangerous for us. In addition to investigating the cause of the commotion, there may be people aiming for our magic gun.”

“But there is no other suitable place besides Mount Petra. If you go to the unexplored land, you never know when or where you will return.”

At that time, the mercenary leader Slater, who had been listening silently, opened his mouth.

“At least the entrance to the unexplored land is fine. If you can’t go because the entrance is too scary, you’ll have to beat the mercenary.”

The Heldok Mercenary Commander nervously looked back at the Mercenary Commander Slater.

“You want us to go into the wilderness first?”

“There is a limit to stepping on the back. If I follow you for a long time, you will be caught someday? Why don’t we go through the ‘Valley of Skulls’ first, build a network and wait? The wave is over, so I don’t think even the monsters will be hanging around.”

It made sense, but the Heldok Mercenary Commander did not readily agree.

“And what if they don’t come to ‘Valley of Skulls’? Aren’t you all working in vain?”

“Is that a stone on your shoulder? They’ve surveyed the unexplored lands, and if they’re going to Mount Petra, of course they’ll pass through the ‘Valley of Skulls’.”

“No, there is no guarantee that all of them will go to the unexplored land even if they have investigated the unexplored lands. What if I just wanted to find out what was there?”

“Why don’t you wait a day and don’t come? Will you live there?”

“Someone said they lived there! Where are you going to find them again!”

“It’s coming to ‘Valley of Skulls’.”

“Aren’t you coming?”

“and.”

“If you don’t come, will you be responsible?”

“How much will you give me when you come?”

The Helldok mercenary leader, who was angry at the moment, shouted out loud.

“Don’t talk nonsense, you bastard! Do you know who doesn’t speak plain language?”

The Viper mercenary leader, who was watching, was nervous, knowing that the selfish Slater mercenary leader would run out of control.

Surprisingly, the mercenary leader Slater did not blink an eye even after being cursed at.

“Then do it.”

The unexpected reaction made the Heldok mercenary leader hesitate.

I was expecting a fist fight, but why is it that the atmosphere goes beyond words?

Mercenary leader Slater’s attitude was so calm that Helldok’s mercenary leader quickly calmed down his excitement.

The swearing and the relief of the lumpy stomach also played a role.

“You shouldn’t say this.”

The Helldok mercenary leader turned his head with a resigned face.

A heavy silence fell over the mercenary commanders.

The viper mercenary leader, who had been racking his brains for a while, carefully took his luck.

“Don’t you think Slater Mercenary Commander’s opinion is okay? If you avoid Mount Petra, which is like a dragon rare, the other side of ‘Skull Valley’ is perfect… but, of course, assuming that those damn bastards go to the unexplored land.”

Then, Slater’s mercenary leader put in a choo-im-sae.

“Because I’m going.”

The mercenary leader Slater did not react to Viper’s mercenary leader’s words.

That’s because you know what the other person is going to say.

The Viper mercenary leader turned his attention to the Heldok mercenary leader.

The Helldok mercenary leader nodded as if he couldn’t win.

There is no other sharp way, but just the opposite is because it is out of shape.

Thus, the three mercenaries decided to pass through the ‘Skeleton Valley’ ahead of the adventurers.

***

Crea, who was dozing in front of the campfire, raised her head in horror.

‘what?’

I pricked my ears, but all I could hear was the sound of the wind brushing the plains.

‘iced coffee! Be surprised.’

Before long, she slapped her head with the palm of her hand to drive her to sleep.

sparkle-!

Just in time, a meteor crossed the night sky with a long tail.

Maybe I woke up to see that.

Crea quickly prayed that nothing would happen to the current party.
