The wise man returns

The Diamond Tower's door opens more easily than you might think.

As soon as Balin revealed his identity at the entrance, permission was given.

Balin and Evelyn step forward, taking in the same gaze on all sides.

The advent of a divine storm in the entire continental magical system was enormous.

“Valine? Why me?”

“I remember his name when I came to the Mission. I just came to the Imperial family and thought I'd say hello. ”

After hurrying out of nowhere, Valine blinks at one eye, proficiently answering his question.

The secret to the Diamond Tower is that Warwick is loyal to Evelyn!

Balin, who knew it beforehand, hit the player first.

Warwick sighs of relief and smiles at the skillful response.

“Oh, you remember. It was autumn, and now the weather is getting better and better. ”

Warwick escorts Valine and Evelyn to their chambers.

As I stepped inside, I saw a large bed, a simple table, and a cozy space surrounded by living utensils.

Balin, who closed the door, sighed as she sighed.

“Silence magic, can I use it? ”

“Yes.”

As soon as Warwick gives his permission, Valine casts a Silence spell across the room.

At the same time, there was a sigh of mourning on the outside that was loud.

He was curious as to what Balin was going to say.

‘Sorry for you guys, but I'm not here to talk about some interstellar business right now. ’

The business deal was to come with Elia a few months later.

Now we have to rely on the secret relationship between the three.

Balin turns his eyes to Warwick and says,

“I won't tell you for long. Take care of Evelyn for one day. ”

“Hannah's Day...? Is something wrong? ”

Warwick looks away, his head tilting.

It's because I didn't think much of what Balin would do alone in the Cadim Empire.

“Information gathering...”

“Gathering information. I think I have a lot of uncomfortable places to take me. ”

As Balin, unable to reveal the location, was about to climb over the wall, Evelyn wedged in and convinced Warwick neatly.

“Ah, gathering information. Right. Most places that handle that kind of thing...”

Warwick recalls the Imperial Intelligence Guilds and blurs his face.

It's usually packaged nicely as an information guild, but the reality was that thieves and assassins only changed their names.

“Very well. You may be struck by a blind sword, so please be careful again." ”

“I'll keep that in mind.”

Warwick nods and says, "Be careful."

However, I'm sorry for him, but Balin is not a sneaky place to go, like a backalley or an underground arena.

‘Probably one of the two safest places in the world with the Cadim Imperial Palace.' ’

Balin walks out of the Tower of Diamonds with a bloody smile.

Every day, Evelyn has a vision that she can put in the tower, that is, to be able to move alone.

During that time, I had to be busy from now on in order to pick up the pieces.

“Let's see, the place doesn't change, so it's this way. ”

Balin walked the streets relying on her former life's memories.

Between then and now, there was a considerable time difference, but the place Balin wanted to go was much stronger and more magnificent.

After a long walk, Balin felt the landscape slowly open.

dense buildings disappear, and the facial expressions of passers-by start to feel relaxed.

“Are you starting to see it? Oh, there he is. ”

Balin raised his gaze along the straight path and applauded.

What he saw was a white road, and a white fortress at the end of it.

Balin wanted to visit the Holy See, the center of the Church of Leian, and the home of a large group of priests from all over the world.

The entrance of Balin, which was near, happened without my knowledge.

“Fantastic.”

I've seen a few battles in place of the Pyonian Empire, but the danger in front of me is not the same.

Every high rise of white towers has a subtle glow that sweeps away all around, and beneath it, white buildings are similarly widespread.

The centrally located chapel was not as big as the imperial palace, but its beauty and sophistication gave many people a memorable memory that would never be forgotten.

Although it was said to be a fortress, it was an okay size, even if it was a lost city.

I feel once again how powerful the Sassam Layan Cult is.

“Of course, I couldn't move properly when I needed it. ”

Balin rushes forward, smiling heavily.

The Holy See is located on the outskirts of the Imperial Archipelago.

If the imperial palace controls the entire empire at the heart of the Imperial Court, then the Holy See has seized power from all over the world beyond the emperor's reach.

I understand the meaning, but Valine was dying to walk there.

“Oops, we should take care of this, too. ”

While walking in the daze, Balin glances at the necklace, startled by the feeling of bitterness on her neck.

I didn't know when I first confronted Deputy Robert, but this time I had to hide it clearly.

The place where Balin is headed now is the center of the Church of Layan, and I had no idea what would happen if I left this necklace out there.

I'd love to take it off and put it in my pocket, but...

Balin smiles lightly, recalling the many attempts he had made to remove the necklace.

After wearing the necklace at some point in the future, the necklace strangely never left Balin's side.

Even if I take it off and put it somewhere else, I teleport to my neck in an instant with the feeling that the space is coiling.

Is this magic, too? Or else... "

Previous Balin, a human hero, has seen and dealt with numerous artifacts.

From simple C-class artifacts to incredibly valuable S-classes.

I went through a variety of artifacts, but none of them kept coming back to their owners.

The Sgrade artifact Sword used by Palia, Skyfall, and the sacred Langrid that Kristel had, that's it!

It was only this one artifact that showed the owner the ability to automatically return.

"The power of God... Chet. ’

Balin felt like a loser for some reason.

Glug.

At the same time, Mana creates a shape and covers the necklace.

A cheap necklace, such as a dressroom or jewelry store, appeared around the area for a moment.

"If you can't hide it, you can disguise it as fantasy magic. ‘

It was always temporary, but it didn't matter that I wouldn't have to listen to the Pope again anyway.

About ten minutes after walking, the entrance of the Holy See was revealed.

Unlike the Uranus, there were no gates, but they were using simple barricades to build passageways and inspect them.

“Tell me your business. ”

The person standing at the checkpoint was a young girl's shrine who wanted to be just in her 20s.

“Just a word of business. Can I come in? ”

“Of course! There is no distinction between emperor and celestial people to serve Layan! ”

The Cathedral nods, smiling brightly at Balin's question.

The entrance to the Holy See was considered to be a very clumsy procedure, but Valine was able to quickly identify lurking new brothers and sisters around the Cathedral.

"Excellent paladins of Expert, indeed, the Holy See... of a different level." ’

Among the paladins Reuben gathered when he struck the Three Kingdoms, rank Expert was less than fifty of the seven hundred.

But in the Holy Father's Church, I was already looking forward to seeing what kind of people are lurking in there.

"Of course, there is no law that says the Demon Lord would not have infiltrated the Holy See..."

“So, what do you want...? ”

“I'm here to see Deputy Representative Leben, right? ”

“What? You heard wrong, I'm sorry, but just one more time...”

As soon as the name "Vatican" appeared, the goddess tilted her head.

But Valine was neither wrong nor joking.

“Maybe you heard it right. I'd like to meet Representative Leven. I have a personal errand to run. ”

“!!!!! ”

The paladins, as well as the paladins on ambush, opened their eyes together.

The Supreme Court ranks only the top ten within the Holy See.

In the noble family, who could stand right next to the Pope, they weighed like the Grand Duke.

“Uh, uh. That's it. That's it!! ”

The paladins who were watching the details instead of the restless goddess were embarrassed.

Suddenly, a more ornate paladin appeared among them surrounding Balin's surroundings.

“I am Aslon, palace master of the Holy Lyon Knights, in charge of the main gate guard commander. Could you follow us for a moment? ”

You say that, but judging by the paladin's foam, I think if you refuse, I'll draw my sword and swing it right away.

Balin smiles and nods softly.

This is how I expected to get back from the moment I told you I was going to meet Leven.

"It's a hassle, but I can't do it, and I don't even know where it is, and I can't sneak in and search it. ’

The paladins moved inward without delay as soon as they confirmed Balin's agreement.

As I stepped inside, I could see the buildings of the Holy See.

With the white as the main theme, the architectural beauty that mixed and painted different colors to prevent eye pain everywhere comforted people's eyes.

In the meantime, Balin and the paladins gathered together to look at those who had crossed the road.

“What's with all the paladins? ”

“Looks like you're guarding the inner man... the nobles of the Imperial Court or some foreign dignitaries? ”

“Wow… Mom! I wish the knights would protect me like that! ”

From immigrants from afar to family members from time to time, many people each uttered a word.

Thanks to this, Balin was able to enjoy the views of the Holy See with a feeling of being escorted.

‘That building is like a chapel, and that's where the synagogues live... I don't know how much money they spent, but they made it pretty good. ’

Balin, who was looking all over the place, suddenly went up his mouth without me even knowing it.

It was the first time I had seen the Holy See in Balin, but it was not destroyed in my past life.

It was natural that the Wizard in the early days did not have to visit the Holy See.

“The people walking around in here, by the way...“

“They are ordinary pilgrims who believe in him. from people living in the Imperial City to people from far-away countries. ”

In response to Aslon's earlier walk, Balin struggled to hide his embarrassment.

It seemed to have leaked out without me even knowing what I was thinking.

‘I was obsessed with the atmosphere without knowing it. We can't keep doing this. ’

After clearing his mind, Balin asked Aslon a question.
