The wise man returns

After a light greeting, Balin tries to cut off the Mana supplied to the crystal.

“Be careful, Balin. ”

“Ah… yes. ”

Unlike so far, Balin nodded without even knowing it.

Elijah, beyond the window, raises his voice a few more times, as if anxious.

“If you need any help, please contact us with this. I can send you manna rocks from the steeple, wizards, artifacts. Just say the word and we'll send it to you as soon as we can. ”

“You can stop worrying. That's enough."

Balin smiles, relaxing Elia a few more times before she hangs up.

Evelyn, who was watching from beginning to end, slowly opened her lips.

“Valine, Val. What does that artifact... do? ”

“Curious?”

In Balin's question, Evelyn moves up and down with all her might.

An artifact I've been watching carefully for a long time. I couldn't help but wonder.

“Yes, I really, really want to know. What's the function... what's the performance...”

Balin smiles brightly at Evelyn, who says with a sparkling light in her eyes.

The sun shines through the window, riding on Balin's back.

A smile rises from Evelyn's glowing face as well.

Seeing it, Balin slowly and indifferently replied.

“Unfortunately, it's a top secret business. I'm sorry, Evelyn. ”

There's no need to tell me what Evelyn was thinking when she heard that.

* * *

After washing up for a moment, Valine asks Evelyn, lying on her back.

“Don't be so mean. If Evelyn becomes emperor, she'll naturally interact with Ruby Tower. ”

“Woo.”

“Can't you do something about it when it's time? I can tell you for a price." ”

Evelyn, who was throwing herself out of bed, nods her head tightly at Balin's reply.

“Really?"

The face that looked between the blondes was as cute and charming as the gorgeous.

However, Balin calmly replied without a single blow.

“Why would I lie to someone in the same boat, Evelyn? ”

“... Is dragon magic not enough? You're greedy.”

To Evelyn, who shakes her head in horror, Valine smiles instead of answering.

I could have said a little longer, but now I have to get more instructions regarding today's schedule first.

“Anyway, Evelyn. I think you need to step into the Diamond Tower for a moment today. ”

“... Yes? ”

Evelyn's eyes widen with unexpected orders.

Balin scratches his back head as if he had no choice.

“I actually have somewhere I need to be alone. It won't take long, but in the meantime, just in case. ”

“A Diamond Tower...”

“Yes, that's where the Warwick ball is. If you say he's a guest, I think you'll be able to protect him there for a day, won't you? ”

Even if I try to say no, Balin is already aware of the administrative system of the tower.

As well as previous life experience, the knowledge accumulated during the administrative work of Ruby Tower has done its part.

Eventually, Evelyn softly nodded and accepted Valine's offer.

“Then tell me where you're going. Valine, I might have to prepare for an unfortunate incident if Valine doesn't show up. ”

“Well... well, that's a little...”

Evelyn wedges the egg, slightly raising the tail of her mouth.

“I thought you said we were in the same boat. I think a sailor in the same boat should know a little bit about his colleagues. ”

“Hmm. Evelyn was right about that. ”

Valine, who was stabbed in the heart, was forced to take her word.

What he said involved him was something that only happened when he was dealing with Leven.

Balin felt his assessment of Saab Evelyn was right.

“I ask others to keep it a secret. I'm going to the Holy See. ”

“Yes? The Holy See? ”

Evelyn's eyes widen.

Catholic Church is one of the two most famous places in the Ecclesiastical Church and the center of the Rayan Church that believes in the Lord Lean.

Given the other place, of course, the palace, we could see how the Pope's majesty had shifted.

But that's not why Evelyn was surprised.

“But you're... a wizard, right? Why would a wizard go to the Holy See...”

“I'm going to get some information. I have trusted friends there. ”

“Ah…”

Reminding you of the conversation this morning, Evelyn nods.

The last two months have made me somewhat familiar with Leven's visit.

“Even so... aren't you an enemy now that you support another nobleman?" ”

“So... we make a deal. ”

Balin adds with a bloody smile.

Evelyn picks up her things without asking.

Simple stationery, clothes, a little bit of money.

After the inn, the two head straight for the Diamond Tower.

“Can I leave the golem at the inn? ”

“When there's a crisis, it's going to be autonomous, and you'll be fine. ”

Balin finished answering lightly.

I buried the golem in the backyard of the inn for the second time last night, and if anyone's after it, the golem will come out and kill the thief with all his might.

A golem powered by electricity is a wretched opponent of Baleen himself.

It was said to be the Wizard's natural enemy, but even if it wasn't, a feisty thief could defend himself.

“The Tower of Diamonds is enormously large and tall, by the way. It's nothing compared to our towers. ”

Balin, who was watching the approaching white tower, gives you a whimsical expression.

It was true in my past life, but it was certainly a spectacular appearance of the Diamond Tower.

If the highest mountain in the world is the Elspor Mountains of the Northern Great Mountains.

The world's tallest building is the Diamond Tower, right here.

This is a building built with magical power, but even with that in mind, the rise to the clouds made me feel awkward.

“Yes... it's the tallest building in the world, like the Pope of all wizards. ”

“Sometimes I dream of practicing magic there from the beginning. That's a great building. The Diamond Tower...”

When he finished speaking, Balin smiled with an impatient expectation.

If, if.

If your former self had learned magic by entering the Diamond Tower instead of Ruby Tower.

Would the future have changed? Could it have stopped the Demon King?

The occasional question that I had forgotten came out again as soon as I saw the Diamond Tower.

“Well... that's probably not it. ”

“... Yes? ”

Valin looks surprised at Evelyn's exact question in his mind.

Nevertheless, Evelyn continues to keep her gaze on Balin.

Of course, she didn't look into Balin's mind, but she could clearly understand the meaning.

“No matter how high and great the Tower of Diamonds is, it's probably not for the Lord of Balin. ”

“Why do you think that is? ”

Balin asked again, tasting as if it were interesting.

“Yes, what Valine has done, and the artifact I saw earlier. That's way beyond the Diamond Tower. Perhaps Valine would have built a bigger and greater tower than a Diamond Tower in no matter where she went, or if she had made a new tower by herself. ”

Evelyn smiles as she finishes her speech.

At that moment, Balin felt a heart disappear from his mind.

Something about regret. The obsession with pursuing greater perfection.

As it disappears, Mana flutters in an instant.

Parker, Parker!

Despite being invisible to the outside, Mana, who was in Balin's body, shakes as hard as she can and creates a new Mana circle.

Glug.

Eight classes of walls, finally broken.

My heart beats like crazy, and my whole body's blood speeds up like a flash of light.

However, Balin strides toward the Diamond Tower in a seemingly innocent manner.

Completely in harmony with the truly serene exterior and the interior of chaos.

As long as I stayed in that condition, my body moved on its own without breathing.

As the realization faded, the ether unfolded and made another layer of Mana circles.

One for each of the seven frozen circles.

From the circles of the head, the circles below the neck, the circles of the heart, the pre-interruption, and the pre-interruption, one layer at a time.

It was a circle made of ether. It was stronger and more powerful than any other Mana Circle Tee.

At first, Balin flinches, and now she walks with a quiet smile.

“I mean, Valine is talented enough even if she doesn't have to be greedy for anything else. Do you understand?”

“I understand.”

A new reminder has come to mind of Balin's reply.

At the moment of realization, Balin smiled without even knowing it.

This divine artifact, which shameful in all its enlightenment and abilities, seemed to emit a tone of alarm even as he dissociated himself.

Evelyn, who knows nothing by her side, tilts her head, but Valine won't talk to her this time.

Thank you for reading. That's all for today.

The imperial trials are about to begin. I'm excited to use it.

Oh, and there's this reader who's talking about the protagonist's age.

I can't help it because Balin is young and everyone around her is young.

Correcting all the anger takes a tremendous amount of energy, and if you do that, the historical timeline in your head gets twisted...

Perhaps there is room for modification after completion, but I think we should be loyal to the softener now.

Sorry about that.

Well, thank you for reading it today. Please come with me tomorrow.

Goodbye, have a good day!
