Chapter 1146
Episode 1146. Oh stranger, fight alone against all the gods. The
reason Elio asked Emily, a deer tribe, ‘Do you know how to eat meat?’ was because meat stew and bread were served for breakfast.
Emily replied with a bashful laugh.
“yes.”
Just because they are a deer doesn’t mean they are deer.
It had a gentle personality and antlers similar to that of a deer, but was omnivorous like humans.
“okay? I’m glad.”
Elio scooped up the meat stew and set it down in front of Emily.
Meanwhile, Emily picked up a loaf of bread.
Wizards glanced at Viscount Elio Lagoa and Emily.
That terrifying man waits on a girl who is a mere prisoner!
Even if they died and woke up with their common sense, they couldn’t understand it.
Whether the wizards were surprised or not, Elio meticulously took care of Emily.
If strong people saw it, they would probably have reacted similarly to wizards.
He was famous for hating women, children, and old people.
After the meal, the wizards circled around Emily.
It was because Viscount Elio Lagoa and his party continued to chat with Emily.
Fabian shouted at those mages.
“hey! wizards! Why are you spinning around us like dung flies? I’ll call you after drinking tea, so go somewhere else!”
“Yes yes.”
The wizards of the escort went into the brushwood beside the road, noticing Fabian.
Then, as if waiting, Count Larva Omar asked Emily.
“Do you remember what the wizard who gave you the ring said?”
“I told you not to talk about what you saw and heard in the Taboola Tower. They say they’re going to be arrested by the police.”
“Is that all?”
“Hmm… I also asked about Eva Meles.”
“Who is Eva Meles?”
“It’s my grandfather, an old prisoner.”
“Is he a tamer too?”
“yes.”
“Eva Meles must have done the same thing as you at the Magic Engineering Lab?”
“no. He worked outside. There were many times when the Magic Engineering Lab was empty.”
“You mean you went out of the magic tower?”
“yes.”
Fabian then intervened, unable to contain his curiosity.
“What were you doing outside the Magic Tower?”
“I don’t know that either. I asked, but you didn’t teach me.”
Fabian looked at Larva Count Omar.
“Did you do some secret research at the Magic Engineering Lab that shouldn’t be known to the outside world?”
“Maybe it was.”
“What is the secret you tried to keep by putting a curse on Emily?”
Count Larva Omar shrugged his shoulders as if he didn’t know.
This is because the work of the Magic Tower is not well known even to the great nobles.
Fabian turned to Viscount Elio Lagoa.
“Viscount.”
“why?”
“Aren’t you curious?”
“what?”
“What is it? You haven’t heard what we’ve said until now. The secret research in the Taboola Magic Tower.”
“be not interested in. I just need to find the Celestial Star.”
“Doesn’t it smell like some huge conspiracy?”
“Yeah, it doesn’t matter.”
Elio listened to Fabian’s words in his ears.
It seemed like they were doing dirty work in the Taboola Magic Tower, but what was that?
His goal is not the wicked, but the golden knight and the angel.
‘The magic tower’s conspiracy? That’s what dogs say.’
To him, who was not from another world, the conspiracy of the Mage Tower did not touch his skin.
Fabian pouted in dissatisfaction, but did not dig in further.
In fact, compared to what Viscount Elio Lagoa wanted to do, the secret of the Taboola Magic Tower was nothing.

Taboola Magic Tower.
The Magic Engineering Lab’s breeding grounds.
Count Kaby Kraser, the head of the Magic Engineering Lab and a 5th Circle mage, looked at Eva Meles, a prisoner sitting across from him bound, with bitter eyes.
“Eva Meles. Have you ever told Emily about what you do?”
“…doesn’t exist. There’s no way you can tell someone else that kind of thing, can you?”
“If you were human, you might have. But isn’t a prisoner a bit different?”
“We are people too.”
“Cats are not people. They are just cats.”
Then Eva Meles lifted her bowed head.
There was little anger in the vertically torn eyes.
However, soon after that, Eva Meles’ pupils loosened.
This is because the mage in front of him is a 5th circle mage.
“Believe me. I didn’t tell Emily about it.”
“I want to believe that. However, the top lord thinks differently.”
“No matter how many times I ask, my answer is the same. Why would I tell such a thing to a child with such a bright future as Emily?”
“The future is bright… Do you really think so?”
“….”
“You must have thought that the prisoner who entered the Tabula Mage Tower would not be able to leave alive. You are felons sentenced to death. is not it?”
“That’s right. But isn’t Emily innocent unlike me? I thought that one day, when the truth came out, I would leave.”
“So you didn’t tell me?”
“yes.”
It was when Count Carby Kraser was lost in thought with a complex face.
I opened the door and a magician from the Magic Engineering Lab hurriedly ran.
“What’s going on?”
“The wizards who went to Obidos County have returned.”
“however?”
“Linda Kelly, the escort leader, is dead.”
“Is Linda Kelly dying?”
“Yes, Viscount Elio Lagoa is said to have beheaded Linda Kelly.”
“Why is he?”
“I don’t even know that far. Now the tower lord is looking for the warden.”
“i get it. Lock up Eva Meles and keep an eye on her.”
“yes.”
Count Carby Kraser moved to the 5th floor where the Tower Master’s office was located.

Marquis Yuliana Leola frowned upon meeting Count Carby Kraser’s eyes.
“Linda Kelly is dead.”
“I heard. Viscount Elio Lagoa was beheaded. What happened?”
“Linda Kelly had an accident that is difficult to deal with.”
“Are you buying?”
Count Carby Kraser looked at the Marquis with bewildered eyes.
Is it something worthy of beheading the mage of the Taboola Magic Tower? I couldn’t even imagine.
“They say they put a murder curse on Emily. It must have been done out of loyalty to the Mage Tower.”
“How did Viscount Elio Lagoa find out about that?”
“They came in the middle of the night and used that strange magic.”
“The magic that makes you tell the truth?”
“Yes, Linda Kelly must have been so soft that she didn’t know how to die.”
For a moment, Count Carby Kraser gave goose bumps.
He himself witnessed the magic a few days ago at the Taboola Mage Tower.
It seemed to me that I would be happier with the aftereffects of becoming an idiot.
To have to confess your sins with a sane mind and pay the price.
It’s not an ending that’s hard to accept sanely.
The Marquis said to Count Carby Kraser, who was lost in thought.
“Now that Viscount Elio Lagoa has learned of Eva Melis’ existence… I think we will have to resort to the last resort.”
“Are you asking me to kill Eva Mellis?”
“Use mind magic to find out what he said to Emily. It’s not too late to kill after you become an idiot.”
“All right.”
“I will find a tamer to replace Eva Mellis soon.”
“It must be senior.”
Marquis Yuliana Leola nodded her head as an answer.
***
Elio’s party took Emily to Count Obidos’ hunting forest and moved east.
He was going to the Duchy of Lorraine, located at the eastern end of the continent.
Because it was his first trip, Count Larva Omar bought a quad carriage and hired a diligent coachman.
Of course, he told the coachman to ask the people around him whenever there was a fork in the road.
And so the journey to the east began.
The distance from the Duchy of Pommernburg in the southwest to the Duchy of Lorraine at the eastern end is a whopping 4500 kilometers.
It is a long journey that takes 56 days to move 80 kilometers a day by carriage.
Fabian, who was watching the scenery of the Duchy of Pommernburg through the window, suddenly turned his head to the side.
Count Omar of Larva was looking out the window on the other side.
Sensing Fabian’s gaze, Count Larva Omar glanced back.
“What is it?”
“Oh no. It’s comfortable to go around with the Count.”
“Aren’t you curious how long I’ll be following Lord Lagoa?”
“Haha…”
Fabian evaded with a laugh.
Elio stared at Count Omar of Larva with a look on his face telling him to continue.
Count Larva Omar opened his mouth as if determined.
“You should know that I am close to being a sword master. Lord Lagoa is the most ideal knight I’ve been pursuing. It is my wish to remain by Lord Lagoa’s side for as long as possible.”
“Do you know why the Viscount is looking for the Celestial Star?”
“I don’t know.”
Fabian glanced at Viscount Elio Lagoa.
The count’s eyes asked if he had to tell me if he was this determined.
Elio thought for a moment.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Count is already a colleague.
If so, shouldn’t you know the purpose of finding the sky star?
Elio nodded, and Fabian spoke.
“You know that it was the warlock who created the rift in Hirhera, right?”
“Everyone knows. Because of that, an order was issued to kill warlocks across the continent.”
“There was a celestial star behind that warlock. The Viscount will kill Kama Devias, the owner of the Celestial Castle.”
“So you’re saying that the sun god Kama Debias is behind it?”
“From what has been revealed so far, yes. I’m looking for a sky star to confirm that.”
“oh my god!”
An exclamation escaped from the mouth of Count Omar of Larva.
He knew that Viscount Elio Lagoa was not an ordinary sword master, but he did not know that he intended to kill the sun god.
‘Do you think a man can kill a god?’
The question rose to his throat, but he suppressed it.
‘her! It’s difficult to find the perforated castle…but after finding it, it’s more of a problem.’
A fight between humans and the sun god?
Something I had never even imagined was about to happen.
Fabian continued to speak to him who couldn’t hide his embarrassment.
“After the Celestial Star, we will visit the Abyss in the Southern Great Forest.”
“Abyss? Are you talking about an adventurer’s paradise?”
“Yes, Ushas Undra, the owner of the Abyss, is with Kama Debias.”
Since Fabian was still unsure about Ushas Undra, he only conveyed Viscount Helio Lagoa’s opinion.
Count Larva Omar, who had been listening with a bewildered face, asked Viscount Elio Lagoa.
“Sir Lagoa, do you really intend to fight the gods?”
“yes.”
The count felt a shudder at Viscount Elio Lagoa’s words without the slightest hesitation.
Suddenly, an ancient poem flashed through his mind.
who is there
The sun rises in Aurorai, where the sky and the earth part.
The lion of Hyperion
guards the green island surrounded by the sea.
O stranger,
fight alone against all the gods.
Thelema Immortal Power!
You who come from the ends of the earth will find no place to lay your head even when darkness descends.
‘O stranger, fight alone against all the gods. Could this have been a prophecy about Lord Lagoa?’
Thinking so, my blurry mind became clear for an instant.
This was a historical event that broke the boundary between humans and gods that far transcended the dimension of becoming a sword master.
The sword master, which was the goal of his life, seemed so insignificant now.
What is a sword master in front of a knight who wants to fight the gods at the stake of human fate?
The moment I let go of my obsession, a huge explosion occurred in my head.
As if responding to the explosion, the mana in the Mana Hall swirled fiercely.
Surprised, Count Larva Omar turned the small heavenly circuit without realizing it.
