The wise man returns

If they told me that I could be taught by such a person, I had no reason to stop Balin.

I don't know if it was between horses and a meeting, but I had to maintain a lasting relationship after Evelyn became Emperor.

“But be careful. They may be hiding their darknesses. ”

“I'm tired of that. I'll keep that in mind. Don't worry. Valine.”

In case you haven't noticed, Evelyn asked Balin not to worry.

The stadium was as lively as the first day.

It was at the beginning of the top round after one cycle.

The crowd was looking forward to the round, knowing the distinctiveness and style of each performer.

“My body is trembling by itself. ”

Balin, who was in the entry seat, shivered lightly.

The man was reduced by half, but his weight was stronger than ever.

I couldn't help but get the rest of the originals together after one screening.

Balin sighs and moves to his fixed seat.

“You're a little late today. The first game is over. ”

Reuben, who was waiting for you first, greets you with a smile.

Balin turns his head toward the training ground instead of answering.

Dozens of wizards were organizing the training ground as the moderator spoke, as she said.

There seems to have been a pretty violent struggle with blood stains everywhere.

“With who and who? ”

“Murun, who used to wear a mysterious robin and a Meteorite. We lost the murun. ”

“Hmph.”

When Valine said that meteor buttons had appeared, she tasted it lightly.

Between the sword, the wand and the occasional archery match, the Meteorological Meteor Shower was a German weapon that was like a rain of drought.

If you had observed, you would have gotten some more data about the battle. It was quite a bummer.

“Why didn't you come right away without breathing? ”

“Mana breath? ”

“Yeah, I think I'm going to be on my first day. ”

Balin narrows her eyes and speaks.

The first round was also a game on day 1, so it probably won't be that different in this round.

There were cases, but Valine's run today was confirmed to be more than nine.

It was my job not to say anything before the fight.

“Hmmm... cheer up! I'll cheer you on.”

“You're supposed to want your opponent to fall when this happens. ”

Balin sighs as if concerned, answering bluntly.

Normally, I would have just handed it over indifferently, but I couldn't do as much as I wanted today.

“No, I want Valine to come up. Seriously.”

“What?"

For Leven, who opened his mouth with a single smile, Valine throws a mysterious glance.

“I think you're the only one. ”

In fact, as soon as they saw the golem, they immediately named Balin a dangerous opponent.

Golems are very tough opponents for wizards as well as anyone who uses weapons.

An immortal monster who can recover quickly after several slashes if you don't break the scroll.

Even if I tell you I need to destroy the order, I don't even know where it is.

There must be a weakness in the mud somewhere. I don't really know what it is, so I was crazy to face it.

Nevertheless, Leven was different. She laughed and said.

“You know Balin. How would I deal with a golem? ”

“..... ”

In a word, Balin became mute with honey.

Leven is the one he cares about the most. He's not wrong.

“... then I hope you lose. ”

“Are you sure? ”

“No.”

Valine shakes her head in response to Leven's question.

Whatever she was, she was a comrade and protector who fought for the future of humanity in her past life.

Not only did I protect the future, but I didn't want Leven to fall for someone else.

“Ball, by the way. Can I ask you a favor? ”

“Please?”

Balin, who was watching the second match, raised his head.

This was the first time Reben asked me to do something first.

In the meantime, it's always been a way for Valine to make an offer and for Leven to accept it.

“Speak here? ”

“It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter anyway. ”

Leven smiles and whispers in Valine's ear.

“Tell me quickly, please, what are you trying to say? I think I'm going to get tired of waiting. ”

“!!!!! ”

Balin turns to face Leven in surprise.

Ever since I first met her and talked to her, I haven't been different from usual.

It was just a wonder how Leven figured it out.

‘You can't be unique and read each other's thoughts. ’

Reading minds is impossible with any magic.

But Leben is the one who receives the love of God Layan.

God may have really gone mad and given it such a unique ability.

“Did you really think I wouldn't notice? ”

“No, but... how did you find out? ”

Balin scratches his back head without even knowing it.

I thought I hid it thoroughly, but I was embarrassed when I found out.

“It's a lot different than usual. Other times, when I was joking, he hated me openly or answered me in reverse, and I realized that today he just accepted it. ”

“... That's it! ”

Valine sighs as she realizes what she's doing.

I thought I should tell you today, but it was not in the plan itself to tell you this way.

But it's too late to regret it. Balin pulls out the matter slowly.

“Yes, I need your help. I want you to protect Evelyn, not just now, but at night. ”

“Yes?”

Leven raises his voice and nods.

It was only a matter of time before I realized what Balin was asking for.

“I knew it. Okay, if you come to the Holy See, I'll give you two rooms. ”

“Room?”

“That's the room of Earl Evelyn and Valine. If you're uncomfortable with the Holy See, you may only get one Earl Evelyn. ”

When he finished speaking, Leven patted Balin on the back like he was thinking about something else.

“Are you worried about the Wizard entering the Holy See? Whatever. God doesn't discriminate against wizards. ”

“No, it's not like that. ”

Balin shakes his head.

If I asked Evelyn to take over at the Holy See even at night, I wouldn't have to worry about this.

How much you ask me to do at night what I already have during the day. It was a bit cumbersome, but I could say it without taking it seriously.

However, Balin's proposal was more than just a request for the Holy See's room.

Balin secretly encloses the Silence Magic around them, followed by a mouth.

“No, I want to ask you something else. ”

“Yes?”

This time, Leven tilts his head.

I was sure it was about Evelyn's livelihood, but when I said it, I was curious.

“Something else? ”

“The last time we met, you were helping out with the shops in the Holy See, right? ”

“Yes... I did. ”

Leven gives Balin a shivering look on his face.

In addition to the day I met Balin, I was always helping shops in the Pope's office.

Balline opens her mouth, smiling as if she knew.

“If that's possible, then. Why don't you come to where I'm staying and help me with my work? ”

“... Yes? ”

Leven's eyes falter, unable to conceal his frustration.

The offer she just heard was to shake Leven's common sense.

It was because I had no idea that I was going to leave the Holy Father's Church and borrow Leven's own power.

“Wait, why?! ”

“Not because I want to ask Leben, the Holy Father's successor, but because I want to ask an individual named Leben. ”

“!!!!! ”

Leven's expression changes profoundly when he hears the answer.

Balin spoke of his indiscretion, but not to mention the magnitude of his impact on Leven.

‘I don't want the other representatives of the Pope to get involved. ’

While he hesitates, Valine carefully places another weight on his offer.

“If you help me... I'll leave for once." ”

It was a simple matter of worship once, but given the identity of Balin, it was a great thing.

It means that the Wizard is going to worship because he believes in God's power instead of reason, efficiency, and Mana.

“Hoo... You know I'm giving you a lot of concessions, right? ”

It wasn't Leven who didn't know it.

Valine shakes her head, raising her mouth tail in response to a sigh.

“No.”

“Yes?”

When Leven raises his objection abruptly, Valine continues her story in a frenzied manner.

“Leven, I thought you said helping the Pope's shops was off the clock? ”

“I did. But why...? ”

Obviously, Leven said that once.

Balin reminded me of that.

“That's the only place you can change out of the Holy See right now. What difference does it make? ”

“Is there a difference between that for God and that for God? The Holy See belongs to Leian. ”

In Leben's reply, Valine smiles in repentance.

It's stuck!

The answer they now share was something that Balin was not used to.

Prior to regression, Balin fought with Reuben numerous times and suffered numerous losses each time.

But I had won a few times in the meantime, and the answer to this question was one of those few repertoires.

“So, is the god you believe in, Leian, only in the Holy See? ”

“That's...! ”

As expected, Leven begins to hesitate.

Balin prepares for the final blow without missing the gap.

“I thought you said that the Layan you gave me was everywhere? Doesn't it make a difference inside and out of the Holy See? ”

“... after all, you were trying to get me to come here. Okay, I lost. ”

After finishing his speech, Leven grins, shaking his head as if he had no choice.

Balin wondered, even though he had achieved his goal, how he felt defeated.

“Instead, I'll just give you one condition. ”

“Condition?”

Balin claps his hands, leaning against the backrest as if to ask.

“Tell me. Listen to what it is. ”

“If I go there with my candidate, the ball in between will be undercover, right? ”

“... I can't hide it. ”

Balin was forced to accept the point of the vertebrae.

It was the only thing I could do to let Evelyn go, so I couldn't escape Leben's prediction.

“As expected... you are the author and two dukes of Kratan, right? ”

Balin nods silently.

The writer of Kratan, the Duke of Abel, and the Duke of Rudens.

These three places had to be dug up at all costs.

Leven opens his mouth, looking the same way.

“Then I want to share that information. Since you're taking advantage of Rayan's Shrine, I have to give it back to him. ”

“Information sharing? Yeah, I'll do that. ”

Unlike Leven's expectations, Balin simply agreed to share information.

You may think you've stepped back too gently, but Valine doesn't.

‘If you try to eat it all for free, you will have a lot of after-effects. It's better to pay in this way to finish the job. ’

Rather than unconditionally retrieving it, I was able to prevent the effects in many ways by giving the other party the corresponding price.

Even if it wasn't a previous life experience, everyone knew about it.

The reason was simple.

It was because the person who received the payment suppressed the fact that they had received a complaint about the transaction.
