Episode 1167. What are you looking for Magnum Ops!
Fiestra estate.
Hades port.
around dusk.
Among the fishing boats, a medium-sized horsepower sailboat slowly entered the port.
After a while, Count Larva Omar disembarked from the sailboat.
Fabian, who was waiting nearby, approached him after he landed at the port.
“Count.”
“Sir Cloud.”
“Do you have any income?”
“No. What about you?”
“I have heard some new stories, but nothing conclusive.”
“That’s why no one has discovered it in thousands of years. Lord Lagoa?”
“You haven’t arrived yet. Did the viscount also rent a magic sailboat?”
The magic sailboat is a sailboat that uses the energy of the magic stone and the power of the wind.
The energy of the mana stone was used when entering and leaving the port, and the sail was used at sea.
“Where are you from? He said he would look around with Tornubis.”
Elio trudged from the warehouse north of the port just in time.
Fabian smiled and spoke.
“No, why are you out there?”
“You can’t get off in front of people.”
“Ah, did you find something?”
“at all. I only saw seagulls. How about the Count?”
Elio, who was shaking his head, looked at Count Larva Omar with curious eyes.
“I didn’t even see it. Sailors say there is nothing offshore. It takes a full day of sailing to find the sky star.”
“A day? Are you saying we have to go to the Sea of Demons?”
“That’s right.”
“Are the sailors going to go to the Sea of Ma?”
“They said they would go anywhere if they gave me money. Judging from the fact that the rumors are exaggerated... it doesn’t seem to be as dangerous as I thought.”
“Are the rumors exaggerated?”
“That’s right. It is said that only one or two out of 10 boats have an accident. Most of the accidents are due to the mistakes of the captain and crew.”
Then Fabian intervened.
“Eh? Rumor has it that three out of ten ships disappear?”
“Did people here say that?”
“Yes, I have met some well-known people, and they all say that.”
“Funny. That’s right. You have to go out and experience it for yourself to know.”
Elio turned his gaze to the murky distant sea.
I want to investigate the sea of demons with fortune telling, but I don’t know where it is, so I think I’ll have to use a magic sailboat for the time being.
After a while, Elio and the others moved to the inn Fabian had booked.
As befits an inn adjacent to the sea, most of the dishes served were seafood.
It was a fairly satisfying dinner for the three inland people.
Since there were few customers, the three did not move even after the meal was over.
The person leading the conversation was Fabian, who had remained at the port.
“...There are sirens living in the Sea of Demons, and if you hear their song, you will die. However, these sirens are the ones who were kicked out of heaven. That’s why they say the location of the heavenly castle was hidden in the song.”
When he finished speaking, Elio clicked his tongue.
“Tsk tsk! If you hear the siren’s song, you die. How did you find out the secret of the song? It’s a story I just took and pasted for fun.”
“Is that so? By the way, the wizards and knights who went to find the Celestial Star in ancient times. They killed each other on the boat. You say you never went out to sea again after that? Is that a made-up word?”
Elio shrugged as if he didn’t know.
Earl Larva Omar, who had been listening silently, opened his mouth cautiously.
“There is no smoke coming from an unlit chimney. There may have been antagonism and division between mages and knights.”
Elio muttered involuntarily.
Count Viator Bellanus looked at Count Omar of Larva with startled eyes.
I heard that monsters and monsters appear in the rift, but I thought there was even a war!
“I think the imperial family controlled the information because of the conflict with the South, but it’s all true. The Empire’s 7th Battle Division participated in that war, so check it out anytime.”
“Ah...”
An exclamation escaped Count Viator Bellanus’ mouth.
I thought that it would not be a lie if the Imperial Army joined.
“The kingdom’s allied forces arrested the black magicians who were secretly operating in Tamion. And we found out that they created a rift with an ‘Evil God’s Barrier’ called Terminus. Behind the warlocks was Magnum Opps...the warlocks said he returned to the sky.”
Count Viator Bellanus’ mouth fell open.
The war between the demon corps and the northern kingdom is also surprising, but what about Magnum Ops?
It was the final stage of a wizard, and as a swordsman, it was like a grand master.
It is surprising that such an existence exists, but it returned to the sky!
I heard it with my own ears, but I couldn’t feel it.
The war between the Northern Kingdom and the Demon Legion, and the Magnum Ops that are only mentioned in legends.
This was so absurd that it was close to madness.
If other people had said that, they would have scolded me for not talking nonsense.
“Is that why you’re looking for the Celestial Star?”
“exactly.”
“...”
Count Viator Bellanus frowned as he pondered something.
It seemed plausible at first, but the more I thought about it, the more it made no sense.
“There is a great error in the count’s words. If I had forgotten, I would have been fooled too.”
“Did you say it was an error?”
“The Count said that Magnum Ops, who is behind the warlocks, went to the Celestial Star. Does it make sense that you are looking for the Celestial Star even after knowing that?”
“Why do you think it makes no sense?”
Then Count Viator Bellanus raised his voice.
“Know who the fool is! What are you looking for Magnum Ops! I am going to ask you to kill me!”
Then Count Larva Omar laughed and drew his longsword.
“me? Sword Master.”
Woo woo-.
A heavy resonant sound unique to Mana Blade resounded through the hall.
For an instant, Count Viator Bellanus’ face hardened.
Viscount Camilo Kusman, the commander of the knights, reflexively blocked Count Bellanus’s path, but his face was as white as a sheet of paper.
As Count Larva Omar reaped the Mana Blade, Count Belanus quietly pushed the stiff Knight Commander aside.
“Even if the Count is a sword master, he won’t be able to compete with Magnum Ops, right?”
Count Bellanus’ tone slightly changed.
“I am only a companion. Find someone else to deal with the Magnum Ops.”
“Who is he?”
“Sir Elio Lagoa, the lord of Slash Land and the guardian of Hirhera.”
“Is he... Grand Master?”
“You are someone who has gone beyond the stereotypical realm of what swordsmen think.”
“I heard that the count’s party is only the viscount and the baron.”
“He has been given the title of Viscount.”
Count Viator Bellanus, who had been staring blankly at Count Larva Omar, rose from his seat.
“Welcome to our Fiestra estate. If you need anything, please let me know at any time. We will do our best to help. Viscount Kuzman.”
“yes. Lord.”
“Did you hear? Take good care of the knights of the north so that there is no inconvenience in their lives.”
“yes.”
After a while, Count Larva Omar greeted them politely and went back.
As soon as he left, Count Belanus ordered the commander of the knights.
“Check the authenticity of those words with the system’s integrated headquarters via magic communication. Until then, refrain from actions that will provoke the count’s party.”
“All right.”
