The wise man returns

Arnax, the man in front of him, was objectively quite fond of him.

It's a little upsetting to stop being a golem-only wizard.

‘I am strong in my will to see that I am awake and do not hold the dark hand even when my life is at stake. Duke Kettle raised an heir well. ’

In its original history, it was destined to die fighting the Demon Prince on the Wall.

I knew the soldiers at the Wall were a dying breed of warriors, but this one was even worse.

“... let me introduce you. However, there is one condition. ”

“Condition? Tell me. ”

Even at the risk of my life, I felt bold to see the terms of the deal.

Curious Balin clapped her fingers with a smile.

However, Arnax's terms were slightly different from Valine's.

“Before I introduce you, I'd like you to bring in a high-ranking member of the trustworthy Order of Layan. If he vouches for your identity, then I will fulfill my promise. ”

“Greetings from the High Church of Layan...? ”

Balin insists on a joyful smile.

Fortunately, Arnacs spoke without noticing.

“Yes, when I'm convinced that you're not in the dark Mana or in front of the Horsemen. If you don't, I won't be able to help you from here in pieces. ”

“I see what you're worried about. Okay."

Balin nods.

It's very rare for a wizard to have a relationship with a high ranking member of the Church.

Arnach looks stunned for a moment as he easily accepts it.

The two slowly descend to the ground.

As the pitch approached, the sound of snoring began to become noticeable.

“Golems are currently down in the Northwest Meadow and wizards are on the move to find out more! ”

The moderator was trying to calm people down in a loud way.

Balin smiles bloody and heads towards the center of the arena.

“Oh, no! Valine! It's Valine! I can see Arnaux! Yang's here! ”

“Oh!! ”

“Whoa!! ”

The moderator who found the two raised his fearless voice.

Two who thought they had died with the golem appeared.

“How...! ”

“Oh, Arnacs is floating! ”

“Fly, Fly is magic. ”

Several entrants who were watching guessed the situation at the same time.

A floating valine on its own, and an enchanted arnax on its way down.

It was easy to find out who won.

“Laughing”

Balin sets foot inside the training ground and tries to take Arnacs outside of the training ground.

Arnax then opened his mouth.

“You don't have to. Valine. I lost. ”

Since I went up into the air earlier, I've already decided to win or lose.

Arnax's words were merely acknowledging it.

“Uh... yeah. This round, Victory of Marquis Valine Theodore... Victory! ”

Soldiers approach behind the back of the host who speaks in a trembling voice and report about the golem.

The golem that fell into the forest was recovering its shape and there were no special injuries.

“Then after the tournament, as promised. ”

“... Got it. ”

Before the breakup, Valine confirmed her promise once more.

First of all, I was focused on the Emperor's campaign, and then I was planning to postpone the next one.

"With dragon magic and Duke Ketil's sword... we won't have time to rest after this tournament." ’

That's not all you have to do. I had to check Elia's performance and prepare for artifact production.

I sighed for a few years because I had a lot of work to do.

“I'll take care of the golem. Can you tell the soldiers over there not to suffer?" ”

“Yes! Of course! ”

Balin, who was cared for by her acolytes, restores the size of the golem to its original state.

Soon it will be back to its original size.

To Balin, who came up to the front seat, Leven throws a simple expression.

“Really, I have to admit, that's a lot of courage. ”

“What?”

In Valine's presence, Leven sighs and says,

“That's right. A wizard who buries himself in a golem, throwing himself into the air. That's a gambler you don't use on a battlefield. ”

There was not a single word wrong with the twisted palace.

However, Balin replied, saying that he did not know English.

“What's the matter? Everything went according to plan, and I won. ”

“You were pretty good at that in the beginning. ”

Valine's words stopped when she stabbed the valley.

Arnacs has proven himself worthy to be called Duke Ketil's apprentice.

His skills were already much higher than the Marquis of Tennessee, even though he had just ascended to the new Sawmaster.

“Duke Ketil kept his disciple well. ”

“Cook. You sound like the Pope. ”

Balin gives a subtle expression at the moment in Leben's answer.

I didn't know who the Pope of the age was, but I could tell him without saying what it was.

‘I feel like I've been in this body for over a year and I can't believe I still have the old man's accent. I have to be careful...' ’

Balin's eyes are stuck in a section of the audience.

A little boy sits in the crowd, chatting.

Wait a minute.

Balin narrows his eyes and focuses his gaze on it.

It was because the boy looked familiar.

The eyes of Balin were wide open for a moment.

The boy was known as Palias the Swordsman.

"Why is he here...? ’

The presence of Palias means that Andropos has already arrived at the Imperial Archipelago.

But it seemed to me that there was no news until yesterday.

“... Phew. ”

Balin sighs as he can't do anything.

Going directly to Palias is, of course, impossible.

It is strictly forbidden to go to the general audience.

Moreover, we cannot attach spirits because of the surrounding gaze.

However, Balin had a very good unique ability, a no-zone.

‘We can draw Mana a little farther... summon her and stick her.' ’

It was no good to use the Mana of the Wind now.

Balin summoned the Wind Spirit as discreetly as possible and had it cling to Palias.

"The last I heard of this Palias was a lowly expert? If that's all I have to say..."

It was easy to pass the Spirit's orders on to the summoned spirit.

The degree to which the spirit summoned on the sky of the stadium collects Mana of Wind to make writing.

Ordinary wizards would be a pain in the ass, but it wasn't that hard for Balin.

Valine glares at you, confirming that the spirit has attached itself to Palias.

I felt like I could see what Palias and Andropos were doing tomorrow or the next day.

Somewhat relaxed and focused on the next match, Arnacs, the loser, confronted Sonya.

“He's bad! You won by using something weird because you're not good at it! You're like the devil!”

“... ”

Arnacs says nothing, even with Sonya grumbling a few times next to her.

When I looked at his whitened face, I might think it was because of his heights.

But Sonia found out because she had been with Arnacs for a long time.

Now, this reaction was never about that.

It wasn't that high just now for him who had been through a lot of air warfare from the Great Wall.

“... What's the matter with you? ”

Sonia calms down for a while and opens her mouth.

Arnax, who should be most furious, didn't say anything, asked me.

“Are you not angry? The opportunity to glorify your honor is gone! ”

“... No. ”

Arnax, who was dumbstruck, shakes his head and replies.

He was reminded of the sword of all that Valine had shown him in his head.

I feel like I'm facing the Duke of Kettle, no. The tomb of a higher place does not leave your sight.

“Are you okay? Do you think you're out of your mind? ”

“Huh? Huh! Yes.”

Arnacs is furious and replies.

I had no idea where my usual sharp senses had gone.

Sonia, who was watching quietly, frowned and advised.

“Don't fall in love. That's why you've seen so many people die. ”

“Love?"

Arnacs wakes up and asks, but Sonya is already walking out of here in a robe.

‘You bastard, you'll teach me never to come out again. ’

I couldn't understand dragging the artifact out or surrendering to it.

Sonia walked out, pleading to teach him a lesson.

That evening, Balin broke up with Leven with a little fantasy magic on her face.

It was because I could not move because people recognized me.

“Then I'll come to you tomorrow night. Where are you staying? ”

“An inn with a sign called Honey Hut in the Western Capital Slum. It's inside the alley, so it won't be easy to come by, so you'd better come with me. ”

“Honeycomb...? ”

Leven tilts his head after listening to Valine.

“Is there a reason you went in there? It would be even more troublesome in the Slum. ”

I could have denounced the poor as my successor.

But Leven's words were not just spoken by the Holy See, they were spoken by the Holy See, but by the Holy See.

If security is bad, the risk of an ambush can only be greater.

The reason for insisting on a clean street or the Holy See.

Valine smiles and replies to Leben, asking for it.

“You'll see when you get here. Why I chose that inn. ”

“Beautiful waitress there. I understand.”

At a cynical joke, Valine turns to taste again.

I didn't care much because I would know why I was there even if I came tomorrow for just one meal.

After the two are separated, Leven moves with the paladins.

“Leven, don't you have to tell me? ”

“What?”

One of the paladins next door opened his mouth quietly.

“That... Earl Valine Theodore you were talking about, the one behind it. ”

“Oh, I'm sure you know Ballin. I took a quick look at the shape, and it was already moving Manat. ”

After finishing his speech, Leven adds, smiling in relief.

“So Farne, our paladin, can you be more serious? Until I can be my sparring partner. ”

“Yes, Representative Leven. ”

The paladin, known as Farner, bows with his voice.

Leven stretches out his hand as if it were fine, and as he finishes walking, he feels the worries of the matter rise in his mind.

Of course, it was a concern about the mysterious popularity that followed Balin.

'The ball will be up against it anyway.'

Leven recalls the power of Balin when he faced the emperor.

We don't know why we keep it a secret, but with that power, we should be able to take care of it lightly enough.

'Besides, I was worried about you earlier.'

Leven takes a step, hiding the pain in his legs.

The identity of the pain was a wound caused by suppressing the instinct to go directly when Balin had infiltrated the golem.
