The wise man returns

“Let's see... Oh, the color of the bead glistens blue and then it turns to jade, what a fortune! ”

“This card... the man who hid the scorpion and the scepter who wandered through the desert. It's in the middle of a journey with the goal you desperately want. If it's the luck of the Jade Orb, you'll both get what you want. ”

The fortuneteller's interpretation was all positive because of the gold coins.

Balin was aware of the content, but seeing Evelyn, who was genuinely interested, decided to cover it up first.

‘Glad I brought you a simple mood swing, but you like it better than I thought. ’

Valine smiles, wondering if her original plan to promote morale was working better than she thought.

“Now, one last thing I want you to do is dip your hands in this powder and tell me your names. ”

Finally, the old woman who brought the powder of the Borat Crystal suggested saying her name with a smile.

Elijah hesitates for a moment, smiling and saying.

“Evelyn Wellington. ”

“Valine Theodore. ”

The sand, named after the two, moves and paints a figure.

When the fortuneteller who finished there said his name, the figure circled back and drew something else, then returned to the original Borat Sands.

“My name is Balida, but now I pray to the great spirits of nature, so tell me the love between the two of you! ”

“Eek?! Love affair!?”

“No, that's...”

Both Evelyn and Valine were surprised at the sudden matter, but the fortune-teller who had already seen the shape of the sand pile opened his mouth.

“Huh, did you say Valine? I can't get my clothes to burst. I can catch four with less, but I'm not interested in them. ”

“... four? ”

Balin asked with a ridiculous look, saying that he had four women's clothes on him.

Evelyn, who was watching next to her, was also surprised.

I spent two months in the tower and found out about the other two, but I didn't know about them.

"There are four people who want to take Valine? I know two, but who are the other two? ’

Being pushed against them could cause problems in further relationships with Balin.

A great sorcerer with the power of dragon magic.

There was nothing good to be done for himself or the people of the empire if his relationship grew distant.

‘I can't lose. Never. Not for the good of all the people of the Commonwealth of Kadim! ’

Evelyn, who was burning with enthusiasm, was unaware that she had taken this divination seriously one day.

Meanwhile, Valine trembles without me knowing that four women are after her.

I didn't have time for love, and I didn't want to.

Besides, it's hard to talk to a Leven right now.

It was never a good idea for another woman to be attracted to three more.

“Are you sure about that...? ”

“Of course! This is what it takes… This Balinese is a 60-year fortune-teller's life guarantee. If that's what you're saying! ”

Balin pulls the horse up to his throat to change the outcome and pushes it back.

The Wizard was a one-time stamp. That was ridiculous.

“Let's see. And what will happen to this woman?”

Only Valida turns to read the figure on Evelyn's side.

I don't know what I read, but I think I got something big from shining my eyes.

For a moment, Evelyn secretly pulled her hand out of the powder.

“Aha. I mean...”

“Wait! Don't say that! I'm fine!”

Evelyn sighs in horror. Only Valida nods, looking at her.

“Oh, I didn't think of that. Here you go. ”

Balida handed them two wet towels to wipe their hands and pulled out two of the stacks of cards that had fallen down.

“This side of the card is the final sum of all horoscopes. It shows you your whole future. It doesn't mean anything, so just use it as a relief. Of course, I'll tell you in person, so don't worry. ”

Only Valida looks back at Evelyn and smiles red.

As a sinful Evelyn, all she had to do was bow her head.

Bloop. Bloop.

After confirming the card, Valida approached Balin first and said something cute.

“There's a lot of big rocks here and there. You must be having a hard time. You lose a lot of things even if you take one small step, and you have strong feet and bright eyes, so you can find your way in the dark. Don't worry, everything will be fine if you move. ”

“... I see. Thank you."

Balin nods lightly to thank the fortune-teller.

It was a pretty good view compared to those who stood in the way.

Meanwhile, Validaman turns to Evelyn and whispers in her ear.

“Careful, it looks like you still have enemies around you. Somehow it's cloudy, and the future is bright, and someone is deliberately obscuring it. ”

“... ”

Evelyn remembers the horsemen who raided her house with their lips closed.

If they were still hanging around, it wouldn't be hard to see the future like this.

“It's okay. Just trust the person next to you and you'll be safe." ”

“Ah. ”

Validaman smiles nervously at Evelyn.

“His body is glowing. Strong light that can't block any fog. If you just follow that light, the clouds will disappear from your path. The guests will find treasure in it. ”

“... Thank you. ”

Evelyn bows her head and thanks you.

By the way, it felt like my anxiety had subsided somewhat.

“Oh, and about that romance you didn't mention earlier...”

“!!! ”

Only Valida whispers something to Evelyn, who hardens her body.

“Well, that! ”

“Come on, come on. This is my little gift. ”

The close touch of Valida Bay penetrates between Evelyn's clothes.

Evelyn steps back, startled, and notices something coming in between her clothes.

“Today's horoscope ends here. Guests, a real wizard has to take care of other people, so why don't you enjoy the festival outside? ”

Balin nods indescribably.

I felt relieved of Evelyn's mood, and I heard she had a good future, so there was no reason for her to stay.

After seeing their fortunes, the two of them walked the streets without a word.

The street was filled with drunks because it was much later than when I first came out.

There were no more people to recognize and tangle with.

“How was it?”

“What?”

Balin added a supplemental explanation.

“The feeling of meeting a real wizard. Well, that's a waste of time, isn't it? ”

“That's... that's right. Thank you, Valine. ”

Evelyn leans forward smiling.

At the same time, her hands slip into her clothes.

There was something round in the palm of my hand that only Valida had given me.

It looks like a red candy, but Evelyn hears what it contains and carefully recalls a word inside.

"Beautiful..."

Two red candies, one of a variety of herbs, often packaged as a love potion.

‘Lady love is a little hard. Honestly, you do, right? You're one of the four. I don't care what it takes, but since you're here as a guest, let me give you a gift. ’

The fortuneteller's voice lingers in my head.

Evelyn sighs and puts two candies in her pocket.

"I Valine"? No. We just... signed up for Warrick's introduction. To get what we want from each other. ’

Balin gains the Dragon's Magic and Evelyn becomes Emperor.

After that, it would depend on how we formed the relationship, but the promise between the two was to expire at the end of the Great War of Emperors.

‘... four... me? ’

Evelyn, who was walking earlier, shakes her head vigorously.

Balin, who was walking behind him, suddenly raised a question mark on her flying blonde.

“Did the old man say something? I feel a little tired. ”

“No, I didn't hear much. It's okay."

Evelyn tries to retreat, pretending to be unfaithful, but she can't help it.

It's been like this ever since I heard from that fortune teller... what should I do? ’

Balin ponders.

I couldn't sell anything if I dug too hard.

But the subject of the conversation between the two caught up.

"Love... that's a shame. ’

If it wasn't particularly dangerous, it was better not to touch them.

A number of previous experiences supported that.

‘Let's leave it at that. If you feel anything, Evelyn will tell you first. ’

Balin finally stopped thinking about accusing Evelyn and the fortune-teller.

She is the kind of person who notices that Kratan is an empty tyrant.

If I noticed something suspicious, I would judge myself without saying it.

They wandered around and enjoyed the festival of the imperial family.

In addition to all the food and liquor, as well as all the toys and tools I have bought so far, all kinds of things caught my attention.

Meanwhile, Balin did not miss a few stories about other entrants.

Most of them are rumored to be from the mainstream drinkers, but some of them were definitely unique.

They came back before dark and went into the room early for tomorrow.

“Whoa, thanks to you, I had a great time. Thank you for your permission, Valine. ”

“Wash first and come. I have things to do. If something goes wrong, this Spirit will fight for you. ”

In case an assassin should attack, Valine gathers the Mana of Fire and summons a small spirit.

“Oh, that's cute. ”

“Don't touch it lightly. He's hot.”

Balin gives Evelyn a heads-up about touching the spirits, then pulls out the artifact.

On the first day of the Caesar's War, we even fought in person, so there was a place to report this.

Balin, who sent Evelyn to the bathroom, attempted to communicate with Ruby Tower by blowing Mana into the artifact.

One night it was quite deep, but Elijah quickly received a call from Balin.

“Are you alone, Your Highness? ”

“Yes? Yes. I'm alone now. I'm done and I'm on a bit of a stretch. ”

“If you'll excuse me, I'll tell you what happened on the first day of the Caesar's War. ”

Elijah nods.

It is the same all over the world that makes a tactile stand against the Emperor's advance.

I had no reason to hesitate to pass on information about it myself.

“Go ahead. The enemy is ready. ”

“Good.”

Balin delivers the information she hears on her first day without laughing.

Elia organized them into three types: perfect facts, questionable information, and rumors.

There were all kinds of information, not only for each entry, but also for the noblemen behind it.

They were categorized by topic and newly listed in the tower's documents.

“Chancellor Leven's reign has grown big enough to defeat the mercenary king Camille, and it seems that Duke Abel is up to something. There doesn't seem to be any information other than what I've said so far. That's all for today.”

“Well done. Less than I expected. ”

Elijah shakes the unfilled piece of paper.

The appearance appeared on this side through the artifact.
