Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 1390

1390 times. I’m scared to death

The ‘Abyss Management Association’ made up of the great nobles of the Southern Kingdom eventually decided to ban adventurers and mercenaries from entering the Abyss.

This is because the entrance to the Abyss gradually rose upward even as the ‘Abyss Anomaly Investigation Team’ was urgently dispatched to investigate.

The ‘Abyss Management Association’ decided to dispatch magicians capable of flying to the Abyss as soon as possible.

The goal is to get as many adventurers and mercenaries active in the Abyss out as possible before the Abyss rises further into the air.

At the same time a platform about ten meters high was built at the bottom of the open-pit mine.

This is to safely remove miners and gatherers.

Meanwhile the ‘Abyss Management Association’ kept everything happening in the Abyss secret.

An attempt to monopolize the Abyss led to a war so how can they say ‘Abyss was shut down because of a problem’?

In addition if it became known that the steel golem could no longer be excavated the morale of the soldiers would drop so they had no choice but to hide it.

But that didn’t last long either.

Through the mouths of people who escaped from the Abyss the abnormal phenomenon of the Abyss became known to the world little by little under the name of ‘Abyss ghost stories.’

Londinium Empire.

Jung-gu the capital city of Petropolis.

Elio sitting by the window of the dorm did not look good.

It’s already been 15 days but Megistus hasn’t arrived yet.

The clerk brought the dish to the table next to Elio and quietly walked away.

This had been going on since Fabian left so the clerk’s behavior was natural.

As Elio finished his lunch the clerk came back to pick up his empty bowl.

Elio asked the clerk who turned away with an empty bowl.

“Hey is there anything interesting to say these days?”

“Oh my! Please don’t say things like that. “A general mobilization order has been issued. Is there such a thing?”

“So you don’t have any?”

“It’s all about war.”

“Tell me that at least.”

The clerk gently placed the empty dishes he was holding on the table.

At this point I’m going to take a break and make an excuse that I was caught by a great nobleman.

“The expeditionary force that went to the south withdrew to the Kingdom of Shade. It is said that there were over 100000 casualties in the expeditionary force… Although the government office says this is not the case it appears that a large number of people died. Nowadays in the southern part of the Imperial Territory anyone over the age of sixteen is conscripted. “I told you everything that they even kidnapped travelers.”

“Sixteen years old? “It looks like your eyes have really rolled back.”

“The situation is similar in the northern part of the Imperial Territory. Young people are taken straight from the streets into the militia. “The streets are almost empty because they are dragging people regardless of social status.”

“You’re saying you’re taking a noble with you too?”

“Oh! “There are no exceptions.”

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden? “I understand that the number of imperial troops is large?”

“We have gathered a huge number of magic guns from the southern and northern kingdoms. So the damage suffered by the imperial army is beyond imagination. “If the corpses of both sides form a mountain on the battlefield isn’t all that can be said?”

“Is it that much?”

“That’s right. The magic tower is the problem. “The wizards are not doing the magic research they are supposed to do and they are just making magic guns and selling them… I don’t know why we are waging this war that only fills the stomachs of the Magic Tower.”

“It’s because of the Abyss.”

“ah! Abyss. “I remembered it now but there are strange rumors going around these days.”

“Strange rumors?”

“The Abyss entrance at the bottom of the open pit mine continues to rise into the air. “I heard it has grown enormously?”

“really?”

“I also heard the story shared by customers in passing… I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

“There’s a lot going on.”

“They say it happened because of unusual weather.”

“It could be the other way around.”

“Oh I don’t think that’s right. “What does Abyss mean and why do abnormal weather events occur?”

Elio tried to teach him about the true nature of the Abyss but ended up failing.

Not only would they not believe her if she told her but she could have reported herself to the temple.

“okay. “Go out.”

When the order to congratulate guests was issued the clerk gathered up the empty dishes and left the lodging.

Elio’s expression became grave as he looked at the Tabula Magic Tower.

If Fabian had been around he would have been talking about it being the end of the world.

About an hour after lunch it was already starting to get dark.

Was it because of what the clerk said?

In the slowly descending darkness I felt an uneasy feeling.

“I guess I should check if the rumors about the Abyss are true.”

Elio muttered and left the lodgings and headed to Tabula Magic Tower.

Since she can’t see anyone at the window she wants to move to the front of the magic tower.

Although it was only 3pm most of the street vendors were preparing to leave.

This makes it difficult to act naturally.

Elio who was worried walked straight to the Tabula Tower.

Magical Engineering Research Institute.

Institute director Count Kavi Crazer greeted Count Elio Lagoa with a humble smile.

“welcome.”

Elio asked directly.

“Is Megistus here?”

“I haven’t visited yet but I know why it’s delayed.”

“Did you get a call?”

“yes. Five days ago I received a call from a magic communication port. They say it’s late because it’s hard to get ingredients because the border is blocked. “I will probably visit sometime today or tomorrow.”

“You didn’t say anything about me right?”

“Of course. I also warned other magic engineers.”

“great. Just keep doing that and there will be no problem. But… she’s frustrated waiting for someone who might come when she doesn’t know when. So I would like the director to contact me directly. I heard that wizards have various methods of communication. “Please give me a magic communication tool or something.”

At that moment an awkward smile appeared on Count Kavi Crazer’s face.

This is why magic communication tools are expensive items.

Of course if you are Count Lagoa you can have it but the problem is money.

“You don’t really need a magic communication tool do you?”

“I just need to be able to contact you from the director.”

“Then how about black beads instead?”

“Black bead?”

“Yes it’s small so it will be much easier to carry. wait a minute. Rather than explaining it in words I will show you the actual thing.”

Count Kavi Crazer asked for understanding from Count Lagoa and left.

When he returned a moment later he held two black beads the size of pearls in his hands.

“This is the black bead. There are several types but this one is for emergency signals. By linking the two together one can send a powerful signal to the other.”

Just sending a signal is cheap but Count Cavy Crazer didn’t say that.

Soon he placed a black bead on the table and poured mana into the black bead he was holding.

Then the black bead on the table vibrated and blinked.

Elio picked up the black bead – which was vibrating and blinking – and looked at it with curious eyes.

“So you’re telling me to carry this with me?”

“Yes. I will give you a signal when Megistus visits. “As long as you don’t remove the black bead from your body you will be able to see it anytime anywhere.”

“It’s okay. Then let’s do it.”

Without a second thought Elio put the black bead into her arms.

I feel like I am finally free from the shackles.

She’s been watching her magic tower from the window until her eyes hurt but with this she doesn’t have to do that.

When Count Lagoa was satisfied with the black bead Count Kavi Crazer was relieved.

“dismissal. I think I need to check out the production facility… Can I stop by and take a look? The position of director is busy with nothing to do. haha.”

Count Kavi Crazer smiled and looked at Count Lagoa.

“Oh one more thing. Director have you heard any rumors about the Abyss?”

“Abyss? “What happened to the Abyss?”

A bitter smile spread across Elio’s lips.

Looking at her expression it seemed as if Count Cavy Crazer had no idea.

“It’s no big deal. “I heard a story about the Believe It or Not level today so I asked if you knew anything about it.”

“I see. The original story about the Abyss is greatly exaggerated. “It must have been made up by someone who needed attention.”

“Then I’m glad. Well then let’s go. “Don’t forget the signal.”

Elio gave Count Cavy Crazer one more request and left her place.

She hadn’t been there long but it was already pitch dark outside the Magic Tower.

“Wouldn’t it be better to see it with my own eyes?”

With Black Bead she didn’t have to stay confined to her dorm.

Elio jumped into the air and unfolded her Kowloon Bunshin.

She wants to personally check the abnormalities in the Abyss.

***

Southern Great Forest.

Around noon when the sun was hot Elio fell out of thin air.

“uh? what?”

Elio looked around her with a puzzled face.

She was clearly targeting an open pit mine where the Abyss was located but it was located in a dense forest.

This is the first time something like this has happened since I used the Nine Dragon God.

Even in the secret scenery of the Savior it moved without a single bit of deviation but I don’t know what kind of harmony this is.

Still I’m glad it’s a major forest.

It didn’t fall into a completely wrong place.

“Has the Nine Dragon Gods been disturbed?”

That’s all I could think about right now.

For a moment her heart sank.

This is because she may miss Catfish Stoos if this happens while she is returning to the island.

In response to her anxious feelings Elio once again unfolded the Kowloon Belt God.

Her target was of course the open pit mine where the Abyss was located.

After a while a young man fell straight into the entrance of the open-air mine.

It was Elio who disappeared in the great forest.

Elio who was looking down the open-pit mine stroked her chest.

“iced coffee! It’s Abyss. thank god.”

This time we arrived at the right destination.

It was proven that there was no problem with her transfer to Kowloon.

“What did you do that for?”

Elio tilted his head and ran like a whirlwind down the spiral path.

As she performed her climax she was able to fall to the floor in no time.

“It’s true.”

Surprisingly the black dot that was the entrance to the Abyss was floating about 30 meters in the air.

It grew so large that it almost blocked the sky of the open pit mine.

Looking up from below it seemed like there was a hole in the sky.

As Elio looked up at the entrance to the Abyss with a devastated face someone’s shout came to his ears.

“For security reasons entry into the Abyss is prohibited! “I don’t know where you came from but please go back!”

Elio slowly turned around.

A familiar middle-aged man was standing in front of the Abyss Entry Control Center.

‘Did you say Sakal?’

Elio strode towards the Abyss manager.

Sakal who belatedly recognized the face of Count Elio Lagoa bowed her head.

“Count.”

“Mr. Sakal. It’s been a while. “How have you been?”

“Yes yes. “But you can’t see your companions today?”

Sakal glanced behind Count Lagoa.

“I heard rumors about the Abyss and came alone to check it out.”

“ah! “I see.”

“The entrance to the Abyss is rising quite high isn’t it? “Is it really big?”

“Ouch! Don’t even say anything. It started to come to me little by little about a month ago and that’s what it looks like. “I’m scared to death that it keeps getting bigger.”

Elio’s expression hardened slightly at Sakal’s words.

It seemed that the abnormal weather on the Rodina continent was caused by the Abyss.

Then a ‘de de de de de de!’ came out of her chest. I felt a vibration.

It was a signal sent by Count Kaby Crazer head of the Magic Engineering Research Center at Tabula Magic Tower.
