The wise man returns

“Did I tell Representative Leven in advance? I'm here. ”

“Yes, someone with business is waiting for you. ”

“On that note... I don't know why they keep heading into the middle of nowhere. ”

Balin's eyes glow with a blurry tip.

Somehow they entered between the building and the building, i.e., in the backyard.

“If you wait here, you're not going to let Representative Leven out... Does this mean you want to hit me?" ”

“... I didn't think so. Draw your swords! ”

The paladins gathered at Aslon's command draw their swords one by one.

Smack! Sugar River!

The blade is sharp and sharp in the shadows.

The paladins' eyes sparkle.

“As expected? What's that? ”

“Shut up! You didn't think there'd be an assassin after the candidate that way! Hit it!”

The paladins start to move from all sides with their sharp edges.

With over twenty paladins! It was even stronger as the same knights spread.

“Wait, this has got to be...”

“Attack!”

Balin tries to explain what Moore is, but the blades surrounded by milky swords do not allow for that.

In front of the flying sword, Valine uses a blink to avoid the trails of the sword.

“No!”

“Blink! Artifact! ”

The paladins become more surprised and straighten their swords as they disappear in an instant and appear elsewhere.

Meanwhile, Balin, who appeared on the rooftop next to him, sweeps through the paladins in unison.

"Pure divinity! I'm not corrupted by the Demon Lord. ’

None of the twenty paladins were consumed by the Dark Mana.

That is, none of them is corrupt by the devil.

But then, suddenly, there was no reason to put a knife to Balin.

“I don't think there's room for negotiation, but let me ask you one last time. Who put you up to this? ”

“Shut up! Even the nobles rot in corruption by sending assassins into the Holy See to impede fair selection!“ ”

“... assassin? Aha.”

Sloan grunts and leaps to shore.

At the same time, I remembered the look on Balin's face that he had heard.

It seems that there were forces trying to assassinate the candidate nobles in this way before.

‘I think I misunderstood you that way, but you can't take me lightly! ’

Balin smiles meaningfully and moves sideways using the method of livestock.

The next moment, Aslon's Great Sword, which narrowed the distance by a few meters, slammed into place where Balin was.

“Yikes!”

“Heave-ho!! ”

Balin dodges quickly, but the windmill's trajectory doesn't stop.

The swords of the paladins surrounding Balin who were about to retreat behind her back have been blocked.

Balin closes his eyes as he can no longer stand back.

The jaws of the paladins rise as if the enemy had given up.

At that moment, they all slipped, losing ground.

“Wow!! ”

“Khh!”

Casting, Spellless Greek Trigger! Even though the paladins were veterans, they had to be immature in these situations.

But Balin's attack did not end here.

At the same time, what Valine wrote was Dig magic. It was the magic I used to fix Rufus and the wallpapers.

Pucker! Pump! Puck!

Subsequent Dick quickly plunges the paladins into the pit.

In the meantime, the only uninterrupted Aslon exclaims at Balin.

“What magic is this? ”

“I won't say anything. If you want to save the paladins here, tell Representative Leven that this is all he has to say. Greetings from Pioneer Kingdom. Then Representative Leven will take care of the rest. ”

“What?! ”

Balin smiles at the growling Aslon and makes a fire lance in his hand.

Aslon's face stiffens as he sees a raging flame.

On the other hand, it seemed to conflict between the lives of the underling paladins and their allegiance to Queen Reuben.

With a sigh of frustration, Valine cancels Fire Lance and says:

“I'm not thinking about it, so just say the word. I don't want to fight you right now. I want to walk with you. ”

“... Umm...”

As soon as Balin finishes speaking, Aslon's aura subsides.

I didn't know if it was the lives of my men or the frustrations that came from Balin.

“I see. I'll tell him exactly what you told me, but first get my men out of the pit." ”

“That's what you should have done. ”

Balin lets out a sigh of relief.

It's because I didn't think I'd be attacked even though I wasn't exposed to the sacred objects on my neck.

As Aslon asks, the paladins gather behind Aslon's back, filling the pit again.

“Ugh...”

“Damn it.”

It seemed like I was furious that the wizard had gotten this far.

As soon as he tries to console you, Aslon lets out a loud voice.

“Shut up! Idiots! You said you only got a couple of artifacts, so what are you going to do in the real world later? Get back to the front gate! More training at the end of the day! ”

“Hiic!”

The paladins who heard the mourning stiffened.

One of the things that seemed to be incredibly difficult was additional training.

Aslon, who sent the knights, led Balin to a cafe inside the Holy See.

To be precise, it was in the form of making and eating and drinking menus in the building outside tables.

“... please wait here. I'll talk to Representative Leven. ”

“You wouldn't happen to be carrying around a paladin and a shrine, would you? ”

Aslon shakes his head with a clear-headed cough in a bony question.

“That's not gonna happen. If you were really a raider, I would have killed us all and moved on. Sure."

Aslon's words quickly drift away.

Balin, who is left alone, sits still and looks around.

“... Hiya, nice weather. ”

As the sun rose, the Holy See, as well as the entire provincial eclipse, shone brightly.

It was almost time to let go of the day, and Balin stretches out his bow just like his mother's.

There were very few people here because of the crowd at the entrance.

Of the dozens of tables, only three or four were seated, while the rest became a playground for children running through grass.

Although it may not be selling well, Balin was able to enjoy pure peace of mind in a long time.

“Ahhhh...”

The chattering voices of the children, the sound of birds, the warm sun and the soft backseat chair led to everything falling asleep.

No matter how much I realized it wasn't a safe place, I couldn't help but get tired.

“Why are you here so late? ”

After yawning several times, Balin raised her head to the sky.

Seeing the sun coming over the crown someday, it seemed to be almost noon.

"The Pope's replacements aren't all together, are they? ’

Balin, who was looking towards the Cathedral from afar, shook his head.

I didn't think I'd be collecting paladins under the Pope to say so.

There was no reason to attack Balin, since we didn't see the Dark Mana and the sacred objects.

But time is of the essence...

As Valine dozed off once more with continued waiting, someone came closer this way.

‘... Leven? ’

Balin raises her head, and soon she looks disappointed.

It wasn't Leven who approached me, it was the waitress dressed as a summer maid.

I didn't get a good look at the tray and the shaded face, but I bet someone was working here at the cafe just looking at their clothes.

“... yawn. ”

Two glasses of cool lemonade were placed in front of the valine, which yawned again after the expectations were broken.

It was a refreshing drink that would refresh my bones if I drank it all the way to the ice.

“Oh, thank you. ”

“You're welcome."

A waiter responding to Balin's greeting sits across the street on a tray.

At that moment, Valine cried out in horror at the familiar face that appeared before her.

“Wow!? Leven!?”

“Hey, how are you? I've missed you! Valine!"

In a frightening balline, Leben in his summer makeup smiles and waves his hands.

I didn't think it would appear like this, so Balin was very surprised.

“Huff. Huff. Ugh.”

Should I have to take a breath to calm my heart down?

For a few minutes, Leven expressed his sincere apologies towards Balin.

“Hey, I'm sorry. Were you really that surprised? I thought Ballin was always good at handling my jokes, so...”

“No, there's nothing to be sorry about. I'm just a little surprised. ”

Barely soothing the heartbeat, Valine takes a sip of the lemonade in front of her eyes and glances at Leven.

The combination of a white black cloth covering the waist from the chest, while keeping her arms and shoulders cool, stood out even more as she mingled with her black head.

A perfectly balanced statue, with a short black skirt and apron wrapped around the lower back and a garter belt wrapped around the legs, was found thanks to the training body.

Despite being an objectively quite provocative outfit, Balin was able to treat her with nothing.

Even if it were not him, he would have to do so in a tranquil atmosphere full of surroundings.

“What's with the outfit, anyway? I thought you were supposed to be a double agent. ”

“The successor is right. I didn't have enough hands, so I was helping out a little. ”

When Balin asked, Leven smiled brightly and replied.

If it wasn't for Leven, Valine would have been suspicious of the plot of his enemies by now.

Who are the Grand Duchess! Within the Holy See, they are the ducs.

It was not common sense for such people to wear clothes like this because they lacked hands.

However, in his previous life, Balin, who knew Leben's face, smiled and said one word instead of being surprised.

“There you are. ”

“That's a compliment, right? Thank you, Valine. ”

Over the course of a few light jokes, Leven continued to shine his eyes and show a rich expression of emotion.

Apparently, the words Balin wanted to see were real.

How long have you been talking? When the lemonade is half empty, Leben licks his lips.

“Then why are you here, Valine? Did you really come here because I wanted to see you? ”

“No, that's not it. ”

In the instant denial of Balin, Leven sighs and pretends to be disappointed.

“Well, I can't help it. I thought you came to see me because you wanted to see me, even though you support different nobles. ”

“No way. ”

Balin cuts Leven's horse off with a dagger, just like before.

Love, I've thought about it before, but it was still unnecessary for me.

Meanwhile, Leven sipped a sip of lemonade and similarly leaned against his back on the chair.

“Even if you don't like me, I can see you've come all this way for a request of equivalent weight. Especially considering Valine's identity and where she is. ”

“...... ”

Balin takes only lemonade, not finding the right answer for a stabbing horse.

It was true that he had come to ask for a favor, and that he entered the Holy See as the Wizard himself.

“So, what did you come here to ask me? ”

When he asked, Valine left the lemonade she drank.
