Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 1387

Episode 1387. Has this never happened before?

Great forest.

Open pit mine.

Abyss Entry Control Center.

Early morning.

The door to the wooden building opened and a person came out.

“Hwaam!”

The gaze of the middle-aged man who was stretching naturally turned towards Abyss.

“uh?”

The man who was tilting his head called a colleague from the Abyss Entry Control Center.

“Yonetsu! “Come out for a second!”

After a while a young man with shabby appearance stood one step behind him.

“why?”

“Look at the entrance to the Abyss! “Don’t you feel like you’re floating in the air?”

Yonetsu turned his gaze to where his leader Sakal was pointing.

“uh? Is that so? “Weren’t you stuck on the ground until yesterday?”

“that’s right. But now it’s up to knee height right? “I didn’t see it wrong right?”

“Yes it was definitely stuck to the ground yesterday.”

“But why is it up there? Was there a gust of wind all night long?”

“Ah Captain. “The entrance to the Abyss is immaterial so would it appear as if the wind was blowing?”

“I know. This is something I said because I was so amazed. By the way it won’t come to mind anymore right?”

“If more comes to mind it will be a big problem. “If the workers come out and fall they will break their legs.”

It might not be a big deal for mercenaries and adventurers but workers could easily get injured.

The Abyss is still short on workers and it would be difficult if there were even injuries.

“Holy shit. Report it to the Abyss Management Association right now. “Whether it’s building stairs or a platform they’ll take action.”

“All right. By the way leader.”

“why?”

“It won’t go any higher from there right?”

“How do I know if it’s going up or down? “It’s the mind of God who created that.”

“Ushas Undra?”

Then Sakal narrowed his eyes and asked Yonetsu back.

“Didn’t you go to the academy?”

“yes.”

“I see. There is no record of who made it. “If you want to continue working at the Abyss Access Control Center it would be a good idea to study something related to it.”

“What academy did you go to Captain?”

“Do you go to the academy because you have something to gain? I taught myself. “Stop talking nonsense and go to the Abyss Management Association.”

“yes.”

Yonetsu bowed to the leader and headed up the open-air mine.

Once Yonetsu was out of sight Sakal saw the entrance to the Abyss again.

Looking at it again it feels like it’s a little bigger than yesterday.

After entering her office Sakal brought out her ruler and measured the size of the Abyss.

The Abyss which was 5 meters wide had grown by a whopping 1 meter.

Sakal recorded the rising height and increased length in her log.

“You sure you can’t go all the way up there?”

Sakal’s eyes turned to the sky above the open pit mine.

Londinium Empire.

Jung-gu the capital city of Petropolis.

At the end of the month Elio woke up early in the morning and took a seat by the window.

Fabian delivered breakfast for Count Elio Lagoa.

Elio never took his eyes off the entrance to the Tabula Magic Tower.

Seeing him like that Fabian clicked his tongue inwardly.

I’ve been accompanying Count Lagoa for a long time but this is the first time I’ve seen him like that.

He who killed even gods is so desperate to find just one person!

“Hey Count. If Megistus is Ushas Und. Are you going to get rid of him and leave right away?”

“why?”

Elio fixed his eyes on the magic tower and didn’t even look back.

“I thought we should at least have a farewell party. “Shouldn’t we also see Count Omar and Howard Crea before we go?”

“You can just meet and go. “How difficult is that?”

“If you go won’t you come back?”

“I’m not coming.”

Fabian pouted his lips at Count Lagoa’s resolute words.

“I don’t think the Count is sad about being separated from us?”

“I’m so sad.”

“yes? Siwon? “What wrong have we done to the Count?”

“This world is so rotten that it’s embarrassing to even call it a superior world. I never dreamed that the commercial world would be this messed up. “It’s refreshing to think that I’m leaving this world of crap.”

Fabian could not refute.

Considering what Count Ah has suffered so far he is justified in cursing.

Of course if the Count received one blow he returned ten.

Elio stayed all morning but Megistus did not come.

Then around noon.

Suddenly the movement of people on the streets became busier.

That’s when Elio wonders what happened again.

Fabian came back with both hands full of food and shouted in great excitement.

“Count! An order for general mobilization has been issued! “The system has been turned upside down!”

“General mobilization order?”

“yes. The imperial army on the border of the southern Dnirov Kingdom was pushed back to the capital of Salam Kingdom. “I heard the crown prince was also injured?”

“The crown prince? “It must have been a mess.”

“The entire imperial border is now blocked. “Anyone under the age of 50 with a history of mental illness is subject to conscription.”

“Are you trying to push it with your head count?”

“It’s not just about the number of people. Currently all magic towers in the Imperial Territory are producing Exitium. “I will have you use Exitium instead of magic bullets.”

“They say you have that much money?”

“Since the South and North kingdoms are responding with Thanatos we are going to push with quantity. “I’m guessing they’re trying to win early on.”

“We will adjust the quantity again later right?”

“of course. “No matter how powerful an empire is it cannot produce Exitium infinitely.”

“People are going to die in droves.”

“But the Emperor won’t even blink.”

“What is the war situation in the north?”

“Seeing as there is no news that the front line has been breached it seems the situation is still tense. But if Archduke Knauf is sent to the northern front… it will break through right away.”

Without speaking Fabian looked at Count Lagoa’s eyes.

Since the order for general mobilization had been issued Archduke Knauf’s move to the north was as obvious as seeing fire.

If the Grand Master was deployed the Northern Front would not be able to last even a day.

Elio who was staring in front of the Tabula Magic Tower with indifferent eyes asked.

“Have you heard from Sir Sarah?”

“Not yet. “You’re in the middle of a battle. Do you have time to write a letter?”

“Are you worried?”

“of course. It happened because of me… If something happens to Serah I plan to become a monk.”

“That’s okay too.”

“What do you mean by that? “You don’t want anything to happen to Serra.”

“If you’re that worried why don’t you go to Lord Sarah’s side?”

Then Fabian got angry.

“What shame do I have for visiting her?”

“You know what?”

“Count I am also human.”

“If Lord Serah forgives him will he go to the North and fight together?”

“If the Count no longer needs my help I would like to.”

“Hmph.”

Elio nodded his head along with a snort of interest.

Fabian asked with a straight face.

“Is it okay for me not to be next to the Count?”

“Before that I need to receive forgiveness from Lord Sarah. “It’s not too late to hear my answer later.”

“ha!”

Fabian let out a long sigh as if he wasn’t feeling confident.

Elio said teasingly.

“You know that even if you become a sword expert you are still worse than a musketeer right? Now is the era of musketeers like Sir Sarah. “In the future Seungjakdo will be faster right?”

Recently the nature of combat has changed significantly.

In the past governors served as assistants to knights. When a knight fought all he had to do was provide cover from the rear.

But now the location has changed.

The knight serves as a shield for the rifle unit along with the sword unit.

The musketeers replace the knights and lead the musketeers in battle so the musketeers have no choice but to surpass the knights in exploits.

Now the only time a knight sees the light is when he retreats in defeat.

The knights must support themselves with their bodies until the rifle unit leaves the position.

However there is no merit in shedding blood in a lost battle.

Elio’s words pointed out that reality.

Fabian may have felt uncomfortable hearing it but he quietly changed the topic.

“What will you do if Megistus doesn’t show up?”

“It will appear.”

“If he doesn’t show up go to the magic engineering lab and meet the magic engineers. “Maybe my fellow magic engineers know more about him than the tower owner.”

“That’s a good idea.”

“The Marquis said it was the end of the month but sometimes he might not have kept the date. “Isn’t it inevitable if the production of the Soul Stone is delayed?”

“yes.”

Hearing Fabian’s words Elio gently relaxed his stiff body.

He had been concentrating since dawn and his stomach was sore.

At around 3pm the sky turned black like yesterday.

As the day became cloudy it was difficult for him to recognize the faces of people entering and leaving the magic tower.

“I can’t do it. “I need to get closer and guard it.”

Elio suddenly got up from his seat and disappeared as if extinguished by Lee Hyeong-hwanwi’s divine law.

Elio approached the street vendor in front of Tabula Matab.

An elderly man who was selling all kinds of miscellaneous goods smiled and spoke to me.

“Are you looking for something Nari?”

“Let me take a look.”

“Yes yes there is nothing missing so take a good look. If you are looking for anything else please let me know. “I can get you anything.”

Elio squatted down and started rummaging through her things.

Of course it was only her hands but all her attention was focused on the entrance to the magic tower.

“That’s 50 coppers. That’s 80 coppers and that’s 1 thread.”

As the old man continued to mention the price Elio spoke in an annoyed tone.

“I’m crazy so please tell me the price after I choose it.”

“Yes yes. That’s right. For your information I can give you up to 90 copper for the item you are holding now.”

The old man spoke stubbornly and pretended to be different.

Time passed in silence.

It got dark from 3 o’clock and by 4 o’clock it was as dark as midnight.

When it got dark the old man lit lamps around the stall.

“Oh my! I don’t know what harmony this is. This is the first time in my life something like this has happened. Why does the sun set at 4 o’clock in the middle of summer? “Don’t say it don’t say it.”

She asked as Elio looked at the entrance to the magic tower.

“Has this never happened before?”

“Nothing. In the North there are twenty-four hours of daylight for six months and darkness for the remaining six months. But in the central and southern regions it was clear that it was breakfast lunch and dinner. But these days it looks like this even at 4 o’clock. It’s been dark since 3 o’clock so it seems like the sun set a little earlier today than yesterday. I am afraid that if this continues the end times will come. “I have lived well but people with bright futures like Nari must feel a little unfair.”

“….”

Elio’s expression when he saw the entrance to the Magic Tower was not good.

The more I thought about it the more the sun set as the war descended into chaos the more bizarre it was.

‘Isn’t this really going to ruin the world?’

Since the general mobilization order was issued today the war will intensify further.

‘Oh I don’t know. “I just need to catch Ushas Undra.”

It is entirely the fault of this world that it is falling apart.

Even if it fails it’s cheap.

Nobles treat slaves like livestock and emperors and kings treat the lives of their people like flies.

Since I have already experienced salvation once I do not even desire the elegance of the upper world.

Still isn’t there such a thing as minimum help and virtue?

However the world reflected in one’s eyes is a bottomless abyss.

After a while it became difficult to distinguish even an inch ahead and the streets became deserted.

In the aftermath of the general mobilization order the city was quiet.

The old man mumbled and gathered up the things as if he couldn’t do it anymore.

Elio counted the items he was holding and then stood up.

Since Maggie Stuth didn’t come he plans to visit the Magic Engineering Research Institute.
