Chapter 1140

Episode 1140. Would you believe me if I said I didn’t know?

The history of the mage tower is unimaginably long.

Some say a thousand years, others say thousands of years.

The history of the Mage Tower is so long that even the historians of the Empire and the Kingdom do not know about it.

The mage tower was shaped like a cylindrical column rising in a straight line toward the sky, but the surroundings were empty fields, so the shape was even more mysterious.

The mage tower with its long history and bizarre shape was an object of awe to humans as well as wizards.

Naturally, wizards regarded the mage tower as their symbol.

So, they generously invested in the permanent preservation of the Mage Tower.

The achievements made by wizards for thousands of years were engraved on the Mage Tower at that time.

2nd Circle Shield, 5th Circle Enchantment, 6th Circle Great Shield, 7th Circle Reflection Magic Reflection Regeneration Magic Restoration, as well as the 9th Circle Immortal (Permanent) Magic Circle.

Truly, the tower owners hit the magic tower with the most powerful magic they could.

As a result, physical and magic attacks on the tower were meaningless, and the damage that the tower could suffer was ‘wearing away from the wind’.

One of the three great towers of the Empire, the Tabula Tower, is no exception.

Successive tower owners carved the best magic circle they learned into the Tabula Magic Tower.

That is why the wizards of the Taboola Mage Tower were able to fire fireballs from inside the Mage Tower.

Leaving his seat on top of Lee Hyung-hwan, Elio pulled out the Cheondun Sword and swung it roughly.

Aww-!

A half-moon-shaped Jingeomgang shot out in front.

As the aura blades flew, the wizards scattered like locusts.

Kwaaang-!

A large explosion occurred at the stone wall that the Aura Blade hit directly, but surprisingly the stone wall was still intact.

‘Ho! Is it solid?’

Elio, whose goal was to destroy the mage tower, looked strange.

It was the first time the wall was intact even after being hit directly by the Jingeomgang.

‘There was a hole in Count Edgar Obidos’ castle.’

It was clear that the Magic Tower was protected by a magic circle or something.

After Elio had avoided the magic, he wanted to use the Dragon Dragon’s Edge.

Five jingom steels scratched the floor and flew toward the stone wall in front.

Gagagak—! Quaang-!

As expected, the sound of the explosion made my ears ring, but the walls were intact.

As he tilted his head, Marquis Yuliana Leola burst into laughter.

“Hohohoho! You must have thought that the mage tower would be destroyed. The magic tower is not so weak that it can be broken by a sword master’s sword.”

After speaking, she swung her staff as the battle between the wizards and Viscount Elio Lagoa got longer.

In an instant, a ring of red flame was created around Elio.

Roaring-!

It was the Ring of Fire, a 6th circle flame magic.

As Marquis Yuliana Leola turned her wand once, the ring of flame began to shrink.

In order to subdue her opponent with a single attack, she secretly memorized the spell of Artipatium, a circle 6 space control magic.

Write it...

It was an overlapping of 6 circle magic.

As the ring of flames tightened, Elio reflexively unfolded the shapeshifting position.

But for some reason, my body didn’t move as I wanted.

An invisible force was impeding its movement.

‘I’m trying to see the end, right?’

When he couldn’t move, Count Kaby Kraser and the wizards joined in.

Two fire walls were created to the left and right of Elio, and they gradually closed the distance.

Roar- Roar-!

At the same time, Cole Lightning and Fire Lance flew at him.

Tsutsutsu-! Shiiik-! shhh!

It was an excessive amount of magic attack to pour down on a single sword master.

‘These are real!’

Embarrassed, Elio spun on the spot and unleashed the Nine Thousand Nine Swords and Five Swords.

Hundreds of sword spirits flew in all directions like magic bullets.

Cole Lightning and Fire Lance exploded after being hit by the sword spirit, but the ring of flames clasped his waist.

Fire-!

Elio’s whole body was on fire.

“Would you believe me if I said I didn’t know?”

“Believe it or not, I will figure it out. okay? I did not know?”

“I did not know.”

“Then why did you try to kill me?”

“I thought the Viscount had trampled on the honor of the Taboola Tower... and was a difficult person to get along with.”

“Even if the wizards did that, did I trample on the honor of the Mage Tower?”

“That’s... I believe in mages as the main culprits of the Tabula Mage Tower. We wizards would never do such a thing.”

“Okay, check it out and you’ll see. Bring the wizards you said you saw two years ago. Right Now.”

“...”

Marquis Yuliana Leola hesitated.

However, he did not have the courage to defy Viscount Elio Lagoa’s orders.

Still, the tower owner asked for the sake of the wizards.

“Are you going to torture me if I don’t get the answers I want?”

“What do wizards do?”

“I use mind-altering magic... but I don’t use it often because the aftereffects can make me an idiot.”

Magicians, in particular, had a strong will, so the aftereffects of mental manipulation were great.

So, he only used mind manipulation on wizards who had committed serious sins.

Torture could be falsely confessed to avoid immediate pain, and mental manipulation made a wizard a crippled person, so it was an embarrassing situation.

“I don’t torture. No one has become an idiot the way I write. it’s okay?”

“yes.”

Marquis Yuliana Leola snapped her finger at Count Carby Kraser.

Count Carby Kraser hesitantly approached with a depressed face.

“Are the wizards who brought the beastmen from the Duchy of Pomernburg two years ago, magicians from the Magic Engineering Lab?”

“That’s right.”

“Are you still at the Magic Engineering Lab?”

“there is.”

“Bring it right away.”

“yes.”

Count Carby Kraser disappeared down the stairs to the sixth floor.

After a while, the count returned with a man and a woman who looked to be in their thirties.

This man and one woman hesitantly approached the Marquis Yuliana Leola.

Seeing them, the Marquis asked coldly.

“name.”

“This is Joel.”

“This is the Torah.”

“This is Melanie.”

“Is there any fact that you murdered two years ago in the county of Obidos and put the crime on a prisoner?”

“no!”

“I am framed!”

“The beast man killed a man with a wolf!”

Because their lives were at stake, the three wizards denied it.

Marquis Yuliana Leola frowned.

I tried using the ‘Eye of Truth’, but I wasn’t sure it was false.

‘Eye of truth’ is not omnipotent.

Unlike analyzing mana, it is difficult to perfectly discriminate between truth and lies.

For example, if a person with high intelligence, such as wizards, strongly suggested self-suggestion, there was no way to find out even if they were lying.

Marquis Yuliana Leola turned to Viscount Elio Lagoa.

“They are all 3rd circle mages. There is no power of black magic. I don’t think they really did that. If the viscount has a way, check it yourself.”

Elio took a step forward and met the eyes of the three wizards.

“I command in the name of the son of the empty field (Gong Yaja) and the disciple of the ageless Pureum (Cheongbulno), the southern sky pond (Yeonnamcheon). Tell me the truth about the murder that took place in the Obidos county two years ago.”

Then, the wizards, who blinked at what this meant, took turns talking.

“I found a cabin while passing by the hunting grounds of Count Obidos.”

“There was a forest keeper and his family’s dead body in the cabin.”

“We found a prisoner with a wolf nearby and handed it over to the police.”

“I added the word ‘I witnessed it myself’ to take the Tamer to the Engineering Lab.”

“The beast man must have killed the forest keeper’s family.”

A bitter smile appeared on Marquis Yuliana Leola’s face as she listened to the magicians’ words.
