Chapter 144. Holy water is the best for cleaning


    the undead.


    Helmin Melnia, the owner of Ernesia Magic Tower, asked while checking the final report of the undead incident.


    Of course, it was the wizards who were most obsessed with the investigation of the undead outbreak.


    As a person who pursues the same magic, the evil deeds of the witch wizards are so unpleasant that it is difficult to speak.


    They have an obligation to stand before anyone else to stop their evil deeds and pass judgment.


    Not only here in the Mage Tower, but also most wizards in Mage Towers belonging to other countries have these thoughts.


    That''s why they are frantic to chase after the ck magician.


    However, the results of the survey are very disappointing.


    The culprit in this case is already dead.


    I checked the body again just in case, but it only confirmed that the warlock was right.


    “...It''s embarrassing, but we couldn''t figure out who was doing it.”


    As if he had no face in raising his head sincerely, the old wizard Kedil was at a loss as to what to do.


    He is also one of the most skilled wizards in the Mage Tower.


    His power and knowledge, which reached the end of the 7th ss, are at a level that is highly regarded here as well.


    At least the only one who can match him is the same 7th ss Fei An.


    But even Kedil couldn''t lift his head from the man in front of him.


    The owner of the Ernesia Magic Tower.


    He is a rare genius who achieved an 8th ss master at the age of only 30 years old.


    He is rtively youngpared to other Mage Masters, but possesses knowledge and skills that are never outdone, and is an object of admiration among mages.


    He is the one who raised them, who were sluggish being pushed by other countries'' magic towers just 10 years ago without any achievements.


    Now he was restless to disappoint him.


    “I have no intention of ming you, so rest assured.”


    Helmin smiled kindly andforted the old man in front of him.


    “I have no face.”


    “You do not need to worry about it. Anyway, the ck magician is dead. Even though we couldn''t punish him with our own hands, he must have paid the price.”


    The result of an autopsy on the witch''s body.


    It was desperately conveyed how much pain he struggled until the moment he died.


    “If there''s one thing that''s a waste.”


    He said, “Haa.... I regret it with a sigh.


    “If it were me, I would have made him repent over and over again, hundreds of times, by slowly annihting him, starting with the fingertips.”


    “You''re still adamant about warlocks.”


    “of course. They are the great blot of the world. Of course, you can''t make them pay for their sins with light pain, can they?”


    They say terrible things with a smile on their faces.


    It is a well-known fact that the mage lord is particrly strict when ites to ck magicians, and harbors a strong hostility to the point of being brutal.


    It''s just a pity that I couldn''t directly punish him.


    At this time, even Kedil had to shudder at the wrath of the mage master.


    “The current investigation is wondering if there are any clues to find out the whereabouts of other ck magicians. And... it''s just an investigation to find out who killed him.”


    Among some feisty wizards,


    “What kind of guy dared to steal that orphan wizard instead of us!!”


    It was difficult to act like that while turning on the light in the eyes and looking for it.


    “I beg you again. You have to find it carefully to the end. It is difficult to forget that.”


    To find the one who punished the evil wicked to the end.


    However, it is difficult to show hostility.


    More than anything.


    ‘ording to the report, the warlock''s strength must have been unusual...


    Even when the first report about the battle with the warlock came in, Helmin had to consider whether he should step up.


    However, while he disappeared for a while, he was punished by someone.


    ‘If I go against his heart, it''ll be a headache.''


    There is no need to be hostile to those who do not need to be turned into enemies.


    Rather, if you are a good person, shouldn''t you actively build friendship with this side?


    “If there are no results, it would be meaningless to continue investigating. Investigate for the next two weeks and if you find nothing more, feel free to withdraw your hands.”


    But...


    “We have a lot of other things to do besides that.”


    Isn''t it?


    Helmin smiled and said it again, and Cedil said, “Yes.” He nodded and took a step back.


    I put aside the issue of the investigation of the ck magician for now and brought up the next agenda.


    “Then… then… what are you going to do about artificial holy water?”


    “Ah, is that what you mean?”


    Helmin nced at the water bottle on his desk and scratched his cheek.


    Artificial holy water developed by Arell Ernesia


    “Are you going to do what the Holy Land asked?”


    “No, let’s not get involved in this either.”


    Helmin resolutely drew a line.


    Although the Holy Kingdom secretly requested a full-scale investigation on this artificial holy water, Helmin cut it off saying that he had no intention of epting it.


    “It looks like they want us to take issue with this artificial holy water.”


    “Yes, didn’t it exceed the arbitrary authority of a lord in development? It seems like they want to take issue with it.”


    “Um... that''s a pain in the ass.”


    Suspicion that more than necessary magical technology was involved in the development of artificial holy water.


    Therefore, the question is whether it is necessary to conduct a direct audit at the Mage''s Tower and examine it thoroughly.


    Apparently, Seongguk is showing quite a bit of dissatisfaction with the artificial holy water.


    They even expressed their willingness to promise quite a few examples if they did.


    “The prince is credited with resolving this situation in the first ce. But why should we question his balls?”


    There is no need to engage in dirty political battles.


    Helmin decided that.


    ‘...And there''s no need to touch anything about Arell Ernesia right now.''


    In the past, a wizard belonging to him had alreadymitted rudeness once.


    I still owe Arel a small debt on the condition that I don''t bother to publicize the matter.


    In return, this side does not meddle with Arel.


    This was an unspoken rule.


    Because of that.


    Even during thest war, he did not bother to mention that Arel had purchased arge amount of magic stones.


    After all, if the kingdom of Ernesia were defeated in the war, their position would be difficult.


    As long as there is a cause for his actions, there is no need to touch him.


    This is the policy that the owner of the Magic Tower has set up now.


    “...Is that why you keep silent about that child?”


    Cedil sighed.


    “At that age, he is already a 6th ss master.”


    “…Diareki? Hmm... Certainly, if you grew up in a precious talent or the prince''s territory, that would be the right environment for you. There is no reason to force it.”


    “It''s a pity.... If you have that much talent, even more so if Helmin-nim taught you directly...


    “Don''t talk about that anymore.


    meaningless.”


    He expresses his regret openly, but Helmin deliberately told him not to mention it directly.


    “The Mage Tower''s policy that I manage is to create an environment where magicians can pursue the truth more freely. can never be suppressed Got it?”


    “...I''ll keep that in mind.”


    Kedil bowed his head again and then stepped back as if he had nothing more to report.


    Eventually, Helmin, who was left alone in his office, sighed lightly and brushed his bangs.


    “…I have a lot of work to do now. There is no time to worry about every little detail.”


    As for Arell, I have no intention of getting involved yet.


    He murmured and sighed once more.


    “But I''ll have to see you in person.”


    For the sake of the future, it would be better to establish a minimum connection point.


    So he began to think little by little about how to solidify the will of friendship without provoking Arel as much as possible.


    On the other hand, there were those who expressed their dissatisfaction outright.


    “Goyan! Like heretics!!”


    A man in a white robe exploded in anger and threw the water bottle in his hand.


    A clear liquid spilled from a broken water bottle that hit the floor, soaking the carpet.


    “How dare you counterfeit God’s grace with something like this!! It can''t be!!”


    He openly showed his anger.


    Feljin, one of the highest priests influencing the politics of the Holy Kingdom, was still angry as if he was not relieved.


    It seems that he doesn''t like the existence of artificial holy water as he has more devout faith than anyone else.


    “How can Nelvania-sama stay still!”


    As if he didn''t understand, he argued with her, who remained silent even in this situation.


    A woman in white clothes and hair sitting on a throne that only the emperor of the Holy Land could sit on.


    Saint Nelvenia.


    She just calmly looked at the noisy high priest, and then quietly said a word.


    “So what are you going to do?”


    “This is a challenge to our holy kingdom. It is not a matter of standing still.”


    “Then are you saying to condemn the kingdom of Ernesia?”


    She shook her head as if it were absurd.


    “Are we to condemn their actions for saving the people by reducing the damage to the undead?”


    When I asked again, he kept his mouth shut.


    No matter how impatient the highest priest, there was no way he wouldn''t understand how reckless his actions were.


    “That... But holy water is a miracle that you can bestow.


    That...


    “Didn’t I ever say with my own mouth that only I can make holy water?”


    K 99


    “Can''t you find any records?


    If you don''t believe me, look it up.”


    I don''t have anything to say when I react like that.


    Are you saying that the holy woman, not anyone else, should act meanly with the patent right of the holy water?


    If that happens, it will be she, not anyone else, who gets the public''sugh.


    The important thing is how generous you can be.


    “Anyway, the efficacy of artificial holy water is said to be iparable to holy water. Wouldn''t it have been better?


    There is nothing to be desired if more people can be saved.”


    “...that''s the only position we have to rify.”


    The saintess announced at this meeting that she would no longer raise the issue of artificial holy water.


    “So stop doing anything stupid. I know your faith is deep, but that is not right.”


    We already know that the highest priest is trying to negotiate something with Ernesia Mage Tower.


    It''s nothing short of frivolous.


    If they do not do so, it may be an act that will damage their name.


    That''s why she ordered me to get out of here as soon as possible.


    All right.”


    The highest priest seemed displeased with the wrinkles on his forehead, but he obediently followed the saintess'' intention.


    It has been 5 years since the great emperor of the Holy Kingdom passed away.


    Following in his footsteps, the one holding the actual power of the Holy Kingdom is none other than the Saint.


    To go against her is to go against the god they believe in.


    “Sooner orter, I will tell the other priests myself.”


    She had no intention of touching the current Arell Ernesia.


    Let''s make that clear.


    In the end, even the highest priest had to step back without saying anything.
