The wise man returns

“The prince of Kratan is a sight for the nobles of the empire. It's weird not to do that just because you're stuck here and there and there. ”

“Well...”

“Yes, I'm sure the nobles brought you here to take this opportunity completely down. He would have taken it secretly, so of course it would have been hidden from the list of participants. ”

As Leven explains, two ancient daggers appeared in Mandos' robes.

Kiririk.

The two daggers, bent like hooks, are giving off a dark glow even in the sun.

“It's very unusual for me to be in the sun during the day. Did you know?”

Mandos, standing across from Ryden, raises his eyes in a robe.

Despite daylight, his surroundings are dark, but Ryden remains unmoved and stares at his opponent.

“... not funny. When do we start?”

When there was no reaction, Mandos tapped his feet and asked.

While the moderator was preparing to begin trembling, the nobles talked about the Lord of the Night.

“I never thought Mandos would show up. ”

“Perhaps the nobles were determined to bury the birthdays of Kratan. ”

“I know. ”

While he was wandering around, Valine heard from Leven about what Mandos looked like.

“The king of all assassins? ”

“Also known as the Black Sword Master. He said he could kill the Grandmaster himself. ”

When I heard Leven's explanation, I understood to some extent that there was no data about him.

“You can't dig out what the Pope has decided and what the nobles are hiding. ”

“That's... amazing. I can't believe you brought in someone that strong in the first place. ”

Leven's face is untidy.

Mandos' skill is not that strong, even with Camille, the mercenary king she faced.

Although this is not a good time for an assassin to move, the story is different for him.

“Two, two. Then get ready…”

“I'm ready.”

“Hehe, hehe. Hehehehe.”

Mandos smiled at the question of a moderator who had barely recovered his mind, and Ryden replied with a cold word.

“Poetry, here we go! Let's go!”

“Oh!”

“Hehe.”

As soon as I heard the host's cry, a sly smile burst out from all over the audience.

There were not a couple of nobles who regarded Kratan as a thorn in the eye.

As the vanguard of them all, Mandos has never failed a quest.

And that will be the same for this quest.

“Good... start. Very good.”

Immediately after the battle began, Mandos muttered with a hook dagger in both hands.

As he was about to make his move, he stared at Ryden as he suddenly relaxed.

His gray eyes do not waver, even with the Lord of the Night in front of them.

That stimulated Mandos.

“Hey, you want to bet with me? ”

“...? ”

A spear called Leiden suddenly turns his gaze toward the target calling out to himself.

“This battle, please me. Then I will not touch your master in particular. ”

“Hiccup, this is outrageous. ”

The nobles watching from above the stadium burst into laughter at Mandos' words.

Satisfied or not, Kratan was destined to die.

It is because if Mandos does not fulfill the quest, that's it. Even if Ryden did satisfy Mandos, it was enough to send another assassin.

Ryden notices this, raising his spear.

“Are you scared? You little bugger. ”

“... what? ”

For the rebellious Mandos, Ryden gives a pause, rattling his words.

“I have nothing to say or wager with those who hide in the darkness of the night like you. Come on, unless you're scared and run. ”

“... you will regret this. Be damned.”

When he finished speaking, Mandosh's body turned into a shadow.

Shhh!!

The Black Robe swarms towards Ryden at a terrifying speed.

It was a quick charge so you couldn't even see where the body was.

Balin, who was watching in the audience, gave me strength without even knowing it.

‘Darkness!! ’

The image of Mandos now resembles the image of Darkness I saw underneath Cardinal Castle.

Reuben relieves him by the shocked Balin's side.

“No. I can definitely feel the Dark Mana, but it's not the Devil's corruption, it's the Darkness that's been growing in my mind. ”

“... that much I know. But...”

“Yes?”

Balin talks that far and shuts up.

He knew that Shadow Spectre was underground.

I didn't think I'd have any reason to tell Leven now.

“Die regretting that arrogance! ”

In the meantime, you swing the mandos grappling dagger all the way to your doorstep.

The trajectory cut up into the air is as dark and sharp as its owner.

“Tsk!”

“Great!”

“Hehe.”

Along with many shouts, Ryden shook his hand like an electric quartz, shining his eyes.

Krrrrrrrrr!!

At the same time, suddenly there is a loud thunder in everyone's ears.

“Woo!”

“Unh!”

The crowd opens their mouths as they anticipate Ryden being torn apart at the edge of the dagger.

Out of nowhere, Mandos trembles in the middle of the training ground, with a huge flash of lightning pierced through his chest.

“Huff! Huff! Knng!”

Mandos, who was trembling, vomited blood with his elongated mouth.

The drops of blood were warming with a burst of smoke.

“This, this speed...”

He drops his dagger, muttering in disbelief.

Two daggers were shattered to pieces, trying to stop them somehow.

“... ”

I lost my horse, not only to the nobles who had entrusted me with unthinkable things, but to the nobles as well.

Meanwhile, Ryden pulls out a spear through Mandos' body.

Parker, Parker!

The electric shock contained in the golden error was pulverized and protruded towards the surroundings.

The training ground hit by the fragment of the orb bounces the pitted, small stone upward each time.

“Huh…? ”

Balin, who saw the error of lightning, opened his mouth with a slightly different meaning.

As far as Balin knew, there was only one person with the error of lightning in his lightning.

And he was supposed to be training in a closed tube somewhere in his family's mansion.

Officially.

“You... you can't do this. This can't be...”

Even though his whole body was baked by the lightning orb, Mandos was still alive.

Thanks to the powerful life force of the sorcerer, it doesn't look like much longer.

As his strength grows weaker, he tries to grab the dagger that fell to the ground.

“Not yet, not yet... I... this battle... assassination...”

“Don't you see? ”

At that moment, a heavy kick flew in with one of Ryden's words.

Manat, however, was a movement of ordinary people that did not use a single bolt, but Mandos struggled to resist and fell behind.

“Khhh!”

“I said I didn't like bugs. Laughing in the dark like you, having the advantage. Pretending to be in control. ”

No, Ryden, that narrows it down. The man Balin knows raises his spear.

“Now, wait a minute. ”

Once in the crowd, Ryden drops his spear without hesitation.

Krrrrrrr!!

Another giant epileptic episode! In a light filled with seats, Valine notices Ryden's identity and opens her eyes.

“It can't be... he's...”

“Do you know who that is? ”

The Leven next door asked me in a hurry.

Balin swallows a gulp, pulling Leven's hand instead of the horse, and writing on it.

“...!! ”

Leven's eyes tremble with a touch.

If what the message says is true, it was a secret within five of the most powerful pieces of information.

“Are you… sure? ”

In case you were wondering, Valine nodded instead of answering.

The writing he wrote on Abel's palm.

He was the greatest founder of the Cadim Federation, and the Duke of Abel Brainwagon, who is currently practicing his pulmonary canal in his mansion.

* * *

The fifth day, unfortunately, was the last day of the first round.

That's why Ryden dug deeper into everyone's mind.

“Did you see that?”

“Yes, the Black Assassin swoops in and swoops at me with his spear!! ”

Citizens returning to the Imperial City were also busy talking about Lyden's dance.

In bars, on the streets. Even at the dinner table at home.

“Isn't it wonderful! The Guardian of Justice's Lightning Spear just like that!! ”

“That's right! ”

Children swung their wooden swords under the feet of noisy young men.

“Ouch! I am Leiden! Take the Spear of Justice, Mandos! ”

“Hahaha! You're done with one of my swords! Hiya!”

“Ugh!”

A wooden spear strikes the wooden sword with a thud.

Of course, the wooden spear, not Ryden's spear, couldn't have pushed the wooden sword away.

“What the hell. If I do this, I'm gonna knock him out! ”

“There's no such thing! Next time, I'll be Ryden! You do the Mandos! ”

“No!! ”

Evelyn sighs as she watches the children screaming.

“That's an unexpected opponent. I never thought that Kratan would let someone like that in the first place. ”

“... ”

Balin snaps at the plate without saying a word.

The menu was chicken soup stewed in chicken and smoked white bread, which always tasted excellent.

“Was it that shocking? ”

“... No. I just don't have any appetite. ”

When Evelyn asks, she raises a spoon of soup and answers.

If it were normal, there would still be more than half of the dishes left to be emptied.

Evelyn, who couldn't take it anymore, asks again.

“What's the matter? Is it because you're not sure you want to win? His name is Leiden? ”

“... It's not like that. It's just that I feel a little...”

“What is that? We need to figure out a solution. ”

In response, Evelyn slams her chest for stuffness.

It was big, so there was no other way in the heart, but gestures alone were enough to indicate stuffiness.

“Whew… let's just say that. ”

Balin smiles helplessly and wakes up.

Still more than half of the table's cooking remained.

Evelyn no longer clings to Valine.

“What happened to my brother today? People like you call me that and ignore me like that. ”

“Well…? Maybe it's about a guy named Leiden today? ”

Behind Balin's back climbing the stairs, you hear Evelyn arguing with the waitress boy.

“I saw it, too! Swinging a lightning bolt...! ”

As the sound grew further away, Balin laughed and entered my room.

I already knew the future.

So what Duke Abel did was well within our grasp.

“Ten years have passed, but you've finally accepted the temptation. Duke Abel.”

Even though I tried to endure it, I could not help but smile.

I liked it because I thought the future was changing because I was doing pulmonary training, but the results were even more malignant.

Choosing to see Duke Abel in action during the Emperor's games.

As soon as Valine saw that, she was shocked as if she had been hammered by a hammer.

“And the duc's blood... it's not just the blood of the crown, it's the golden blood. ”

The Duke's blonde hair. It was a sign of the golden blood of only the northern empire.

The impact of Balin was much greater because it was something that had never been seen before.

Thank you for reading. This is the last episode of the day.

Leben lost his strength in the... town.

Hmph.

I'm sorry I misspelled the word "chief."

I apologize again for being so late today.

But putting heroin on the cover... hmm.

According to the fortune teller, there are four Hiros, should I change them every time?!

You get a lot of ideas.

1. The morning of the death penalty executioner is over. I want to congratulate you.

Please rest well enough for his head to come back.

Conversation 2. Rehabilitation Service Debt Performance Record? It was worth seeing. It's fun. Hehe.

3. Now, if we're going to use fan art as a cover, we have to try to put words in it. Ugh.
