The wise man returns

“Welcome. Are you two?”

The waiter boy came out to the entrance and opened his eyes wide.

It was a woman and a young man who looked fabulous to me.

I wonder if I can get it at an inn like this.

“Yes, I'd like to stay until the end of the Emperor's games...”

“Of course! A beautiful young lady and a... wizard. Don't worry, I'll keep that lump of dirt for a special price now! ”

In Balin's reply, the boy stopped and replied.

Watching him, Balin smiles satisfactorily.

The boy has just spoken casually with a giant clay doll in front of his eyes.

This was the first reaction since the summoning of golems in the suburbs of the capital.

"Amazing vocationalism. You don't care about the golems and you're trying to sell them. ’

Balin said, taking control of the golem.

“I've heard that the food here is delicious, and I really hope it is. ”

“Ah... for food? Of course. Our chef's cooking is actually used by nobles up there. ”

Hearing the boy's words, Balin secretly smiled.

It seemed like the advice the soldiers gave was real.

* * *

The morning after her stay, Balin woke Evelyn up before daybreak and headed to the palace.

First, I applied for the imperial palace and wanted to gather information about my opponent.

Arriving at the entrance to Hwang Sung, Balin stands beside Evelyn who couldn't drive out her slumber and asks.

“Here, I'd like to join the Caesar's War... Perhaps? ”

“Request to participate in the Caesar's Tournament? Follow me.”

The guards guarding the gates lead them to a hall near the entrance.

There were dozens of tables in the auditorium and clerks in charge of the reception guide.

Balin approaches the desk in front of them and asks.

“Is it correct to fill out the entry form for the Emperor's War? ”

“Yes, here. We'll send you an application so you can fill it out. ”

The form presented by the clerk contained simple details of the aristocracy itself, proof of identity, and details of the identity of the attendee.

Valine looks down at the fields she needs to write down first.

"Name and gender, age, class, country of origin, magic... if this leaks, I can't win." ’

What kind of weapon do you use? What are its properties if you use magic?

An entry form that requires everything to be meticulously separated.

The intent was clear.

‘Yes, the Emperor's War was far more rotten than I expected. ’

The hypothesis that Kratan was alive thanks to the Duke of the Demon Prince was to be ignored.

Valine sighs, finishing her writing, and wakes Evelyn up next door.

“Ugh... I guess I ate too well and slept too well yesterday. Why are you so sleepy? ”

“You can sleep later, so just fill out an application now. ”

“... Yes. ”

Evelyn has been like this ever since she finished dinner yesterday.

It seemed that he had been drinking in the sense of celebration that he had arrived.

"By the way... who did Kratan send out?" ’

While Evelyn was filling out the paperwork, Valine quietly recalled the previous Emperor's War.

Although it will take place ten years from now, it was a good way to refer to it to some extent.

It was because no matter how long the decade was, it was not a time to make superhumans.

Perhaps at that time... you were the Crown Prince of the North, hiding who you were. That Schwein or something. ’

The Crown Prince, Schwein Chepez, was one of his former enemies.

If he supports Kratan again, Valine himself is willing to make him look like the Crown Prince.

‘His skills are the best among the soothmasters, and he does 8 classes of magic at the same time. He's a tricky one. ’

Since ancient times, the Magic Swordsman who uses the sword and magic at the same time has a different power than the General Swordsman.

But it was hard to dig a well, a story of a time when it was underpinned, and it was usually too young to dig a sword and magic together.

But Schwein, who is now hiding somewhere in the Empire, is different.

He was a vexing opponent who made the most of his golden blood power and genius, finally achieving the ultimate hardship in both sword and magic.

How strong is he now? ’

Thirty years apart.

It was a moment for a thousand years of vampires.

However, the realization sometimes came within that time.

Balin looks forward to it.

Like a decade ago, the Kratan would have existed, the Diamond Tower, the Duke of Rudens and the Duke of Abel...

Balin, who was reminded of another enemy, tasted it.

There is no easy opponent.

Besides, there was one other thing that was different from my past life.

It is the participation of Leven in the Emperor's Election Battle.

Unlike his previous life, the Holy See decided to exert its influence on the war.

But...

Just as Balin was wary of them, so were they.

After all, Balin had a lot of unique abilities that no one else had.

‘Plus, the Diamond Tower's residents have a solid lookout. ’

Balin looked around the house, smiling bloody.

The golem there was a fully upgraded one, with many additional functions on it.

Even if the prosecutor or Mutuga comes, it won't be easy to deal with him.

‘Use the detailed features one by one in practice... and you'd better finish filing the paperwork first. ’

I felt like I would drool on the application form if I left Evelyn still sleepy.

Balin sighs and puts his hand on the back of her neck.

Glug.

After a light gesture, Mana is swallowed by Valine's refined spine.

The Mana particles that spread throughout Evelyn's body loosen tired muscles and wiped away the tired and intoxicated brains and nerves.

“Hehe! Hehe! Ah… yes…”

Evelyn, who was trembling, vomited several times.

The crowded nerves loosened and I couldn't bear the pleasures without knowing it.

“... ”

The gaze of the scribes who had been out since morning was drawn to both of them.

Although the nobles enjoy strange things, they did not expect to do so in the morning in Hwang Sung.

But all they saw was Balin just touching the back of her neck, and Evelyn groaning wildly.

The clerks each opened their imaginations because they had no idea what secret was hidden.

Meanwhile, Valine moves Mana and asks about Evelyn's condition.

“Evelyn, are you feeling better now? ”

“Argh! Th-that's... that's... okay... ugh! Ha-ha-ha! ”

As the Mana of Balin spreads wider, Evelyn turns red and twists.

The pleasure of twisting her whole body was the first thing I felt for her.

That feeling was really great, and I don't know what the pleasure was, but I was sure it would be worse than this.

“No... stop! Everyone's watching... Hiya!! ”

Evelyn, who was somehow trying to stop Balin, eventually had to settle down stumbling, feeling relieved.

On top of that, Valine secretly smiles and asks.

“Are you all right? You seem to have lost your temper, so I took the liberty. ”

“It's okay... it's okay! You don't have to do it! I think so! ”

Evelyn shouts as if in a tight voice.

Balin, who was facing me quietly, thought with a bloody smile.

‘Obviously it's worth it to say that in front of these people. But...

I couldn't stand by and watch Evelyn go around sober.

After all, this was the imperial eclipse of the Cadim Empire, where numerous predators gathered to fight for their peak status.

It was a bit harsh, but I couldn't help but remember it.

On second glance, Evelyn regained her senses and was filling out the paperwork properly.

A young smile grows on Balin's lips.

At that moment, a few young men appeared in the dark.

A woman who looks like a swamp frog and a Chinese woman standing next to her.

Duke Azan and Hespea.

“This is it, Duke Azan. ”

“I see.”

Duke Azan replies, swallowing his breath.

An empty space the size of a countermeasure to where they are.

It was a basement filled with gray and black stones.

Brightening the darkness is only one bead that glows secretly in the middle.

All that was left was darkness.

The bead's light was incredibly intense, but the reason it could not reach was simple.

It was because the rest of the room was full of energy that seemed to be crushed in an instant instead of darkness.

“I never thought there'd be a place like this in the basement of the Duke of Rudens' mansion. ”

“What are you so surprised about? It's just a closet. ”

Hespia flinches at the duc, looking around in surprise.

But the Duke's admiration was worth it.

It was an unprecedented execution that the Imperial Circle of the Cadim Empire would have such a large vault underneath the largest city in the world.

“Then... why did you summon us here? ”

“I see. Sister.”

Someone shows up across the street with a greasy voice.

The man in the shadows is no different from Hespea. He was a young man who lived to the next level.

Someone's shadow shines behind your back, but you don't seem to be obscured by the darkness that fills 80 percent of the locker room.

The darkened chamber is filled like an ice cube, unlike outside when the day is loosening.

However, the young man wearing several layers of thick fur coats could not find any cold tea at all.

“... Randolph. ”

“You've made your point, sister. ”

Hespia asked, looking at his lightly baptized brother instead of greeting him.

“Are you here alone? Doesn't look like it. ”

“No, I'm here with my contractor. ”

When finished, Randolph points to a slightly darker figure behind his back.

Looking back in that direction, Hephaea smiles.

“But... why did you come...”

“That's right. He's just a kid. ”

Randolph reaches out and pushes the child behind his back forward.

A child with green hair and bright eyes did not look unusual at first sight.

Hespia blinks, forgetting her identity, looking adorable.

“Oh... is that your new toy? No matter how much I look at it, it still looks that way. ”

“Toys... maybe. ”

Randolph answers Hespia's question with hazy eyes.

Duke Azan, who was watching, secretly put his hand to his waist for no reason.

"Something..."

“Mister, you'd better take that hand off now. ”

At the green-haired boy's words, Asan takes off his hands in dismay.

At the same time, a chilly sensation hovered over his spine.

Uh... how? ’

Obviously, he just moved his hand as vigilantly as possible.

It was never something a kid like that could easily detect.

As Randolph said, the boy is more than just a boy.

It was an unknown monster that hid its identity in the shell of a child.

Just like that boy Balin I saw a while ago.

“You're all here. ”

It was then that an old man showed his face in the other corner of the locker room.

The old man had a full-moon body and face, and between his broad arms was full of gold and jewelry.

Behind the elderly man's back, an armed knight with a powerful artifact armor escorts him without a hitch.

The wizards and archers in between search for an assassin you may not know about.

I was perfectly defensive.

“Welcome, Father. ”

“Hello, Dad. ”

Randolph and Hespia salute the old man on their knees, almost simultaneously.

The old man's name was Rolev, the Duke of Rudens, the head of the family, and the father of their brothers and sisters.

Okay, that's it for today. I'm sorry it's a little late to post the revision.

Did you get rid of it... or is it a bad spell?

So I'm going to use it on allies.

Oh, and those of you who say that you've come to Tube with sincerity, but you have very little to write about... I'm sorry.

Well, I believe my skills will improve as I write, so I will have more content to write about.

Thanks for reading. See you tomorrow!
