The wise man returns

“Oh my! And I'll tell you one thing. ”

On the way back and forth, Valine turns her head to Arnach's sudden words.

“Yes? What can I say? ”

“Oh, by the way, I'm going to be doing my best to protect Valine from this inn. ”

“...? ”

At that moment, Balin tilted her head without even knowing it.

I don't know what the wind was suddenly blowing, but Arnacs was serious, not because of drinking.

“Wait, there's no need for that...”

Balin tries to lend a hand.

With Leven already inside, Evelyn's escort overflows in the garage.

In addition, it was a handshake, no matter how much I thought about it, to attract more people and attract others.

“Please don't refuse me. It's not just for the ball, it's also for me and Sonya. ”

This is what Arnach said.

The fact that Sonia visits here every evening is predetermined.

Rather, it was much better to live in a honeybee hive here.

“There's more than one or two things you can do to go back and forth in a robe. I don't want to keep them tied up and moving after the competition. ”

“Hmm.”

Balin nods, listening to Arnach.

Movement in that outfit certainly attracted the attention of others, as well as Sonja herself looked very frustrated.

If I stayed at the inn instead of moving like that, I could fight without going far.

‘It would be great if there were two of them when the enemy attacked. ’

Both Arnax and Sonya are sodmasters, and Sonya's level was almost equal to that of Leven.

It was definitely a great advantage that these people were crouching.

‘Plus, if you let them come from afar, it could happen again... okay. ’

Balin nods.

“All is well, but one thing. So what about the Arnaux Ball candidates? ”

“Haha, my candidate nobles are now in the Great Wall. You've probably met Duke Kettle by now. ”

Arnax laughs as he finishes speaking.

Balin shakes his head in an unexpected bombing remark.

“Which means... Lord Arnach and Sonya are the only two here?" ”

“Well, sort of. ”

Arnach nods, explaining why this happened.

“After all, the names of all the candidates we saved, the nobles under Duke Ketil, of course, died in the Great Wall as soon as the ceremony was over. ”

“And without seeing the Great War of the Emperors? ”

“I don't have time to watch. We don't know when the massive horsemen will attack us right away. ”

Arnax sighs as he finishes speaking. Balin seems to be able to feel some of the weight they're losing.

‘It's heavy, their burden. ’

Balin unconsciously looks behind his back.

A healthy back at first glance, but consciously, there was a baggage tied there.

The size looks small, but the weight is heavier than any other burden.

The burden, called the mission of salvation of the world, was tied on Balin's back.

‘Yes, don't forget. My weight.’

There was something each of them was carrying. Even the Horsemen did.

When Valine realized this, she took a big sip of alcohol and replied.

“Very well. I'm sure you have a room. Come as long as you like." And Sonya. ”

“Huh?"

Suddenly, Sonia turns to point her finger at my chest.

Balin gives you a few notes during her stay at the inn and picks something up from her bag.

“And the Wall doesn't seem to have any illusory magic artifacts, so I'll give you one. You won't be comfortable walking around here. I always wear that from now on. Okay?”

“Really?! Thank you!!"

A little silver ring with a blue sapphire in it.

A ring that looks like an ordinary accessory to me, but is enchanted by powerful fantasy magic.

Perhaps I was prepared for a secret move in the Imperial family, but I thought it would be better to give Valine this side since she can conjure up illusions anyway.

“So if you wear this, you don't have to wear a mask with Rob anymore?! You saved my life! I never thought I'd see something like this! ”

Sonia is literally happy to run.

Clothes that have been uncomfortable since coming to the kingdom.

I endured it because it was important to hide my identity, but the stuffiness that wrapped around my body was hard to endure.

Meanwhile, the artifact that Balin gave was like showers in the dry sky.

“The B rank artifact has reached its peak, so it shouldn't be a problem even if you're in the stadium. It's precious. You should give it back when it's done. ”

“Valine!!! ”

Sonya, who received the ring, is so happy that she hugs Valine as she is.

Wow!

Balin had to bury his face in Sonya's breasts as he did in unexpected movements.

“Let's go to sleep...”

I tried to open my mouth to the frustration I felt all over my body, but Sonya was a floater.

The scent of a woman that I felt all over my body seemed to calm me down soon enough.

If the Arnacs who was watching hadn't stopped him, he would have.

“Ha, ha. ”

After a short hug, Balin sighs.

I almost lost my mind.

If you lose consciousness here, you will wake up in the morning.

Then we spend the night in vain.

“Wow, you're in a good mood. ”

Somehow, Leven, standing behind his back, put down a new dish.

After working for a long time, I got some rest.

“Fair enough. Have a drink. ”

Balin pours out a glass of Fruit Wine to Leven.

After all, just a little movement of Manana's divine power was necessary to get drunk, so alcohol was not a big taboo for them.

“Thank you for the gift. How convenient.”

Sonia reaches out her ears and tails, smiling and thanking Balin.

I liked the fantasy artifact.

“A gift... Valine, don't I have a gift? ”

Leven, who was watching, smiles quietly and asks Valine.

Entry that already owes Leben a lot of money.

Balin pushes Leven away, pretending to be unfaithful.

“There you go.”

“Cook, I'm kidding. It's best to go to the people who need it. Rayan will like the Ball's decision. ”

“Terrible thing to hear. ”

As a wizard, Leben laughs and suggests new food.

So the dinner was shorted, and Balin prepared to sneak out while everyone was sleeping.

“Then I'll be on my way. We have Chancellor Reben and Sonja and Arnach, so it won't be a big deal without me. ”

“Have a safe trip. Take it out if you think it's dangerous. ”

Either you're reviewing what you learned from Earl Minarva or Evelyn, who was exploring the book, raises her hand and greets you.

“Don't worry. ”

The simple answer was Balin, who secretly opened a window and escaped through the methods of stockpiling.

Zec, Zec.

There was nothing rough about Balin's footsteps, which moved with transparency magic.

Unlike yesterday, today's inn is guarded by three sodmasters: Lebanese Arnacs and Sonia.

The chances of Evelyn being attacked were close to zero.

‘The first one is here. ’

Where Balin arrives is in the middle of a market.

It was still a bustling crowd of people, and it was also the last place the spirit had been placed on Palias a few days ago.

‘The extinction of spirits here... means that someone else sent them away by force.' ’

Balin assumes he is Andropos.

Expert is a secret spirit that is undetectable.

At the very least, Sword Exports are the best people who know where to find and cut it.

The answer was only that teacher, since Palias could not have led such a figure.

In order to eliminate the case, Valine approached nearby shoppers.

“Hey, old man. Let me ask you a question. ”

“I don't know if you'll ask. ”

Though the stores were blurry with fear, the reactions quickly changed as the silver coins were prepared.

“Did you happen to notice a young man in the area yesterday who had a knife to a little boy? ”

“Well... oh, right. I tried to stop him, but all of a sudden, he just disappeared like lightning. ”

“Yeah, I saw that, too. Suddenly, I saw where he was coming from, and he disappeared with the kid. It was so fast, I couldn't even see...”

Balin, who compiled the statements of the merchants, was only then certain.

It must have been Andropos who acted with Palias.

"The majority, including the look and feel, are consistent. That's for sure. Andropos is definitely in the Vatican now! ’

I didn't know why I didn't come to see myself.

But at least it didn't seem to have been passed on to the Demon Lord or the Northtra Empire.

If I had, I would never have made it this easy to find.

‘First of all, thank goodness. ’

Balin lets out a sigh of relief.

No matter how Andropos deals with the corruption, the real problem was Palias.

‘We must stop Palias from rotting. The moment he becomes a Demon King or a vampire, he'll have another enemy of the Demon King. ’

Unlike Balin with all her efforts and determination, Palias was a true genius from birth.

If the Horsemen who recognized it were to take Palias and teach him, there would be one more creature of the Trident rank.

‘We should contact Andropos as soon as possible, just in case. ’

Once the spirit is gone, it's hard to get any more clues about Andropos here.

One guess is that Andropos was not corrupt.

‘Starting tomorrow, we'll have to keep an eye on the inside of the stadium. ’

Next time, you won't put a spirit into it, but you will move yourself and enter the pursuit.

Andropos and Palias were more valuable than investigating the two dukes, so it was a reasonable move.

‘That's enough for today... let's see. Where are we going?'

While walking the streets, Balin remembers four places in her head to go.

The first is the Duke of Rudens. This is where he made Silon a player.

Shall we go to the Duke of Rudens? ’

The young man, Silon, who came up with the Duke of Asan, was truly a figure of interest.

‘Your first edition won't change, but you'll see whether he's really foaming or not tomorrow. ’

Seeing Silon's movements before the start of the match was not a bad choice.

‘Please hold for a moment. ’

Having paused on thinking about the Duke of Rudens, Balin recalls his second choice, the Duke of Abel.

Duke Abel made sure that he became a vampire through his blonde youth.

It was equally important to confirm his stronghold.

If the Northtra Empire had reached out to us, we'd be hunkered down there.

‘Duke Abel is full of dancers, eaters, attendants and soldiers. We need to investigate them before they're all vampires. ’

If the Duke of Abel is the head of the North Tra Empire.

If so, it could be a good way to get rid of them quickly.

I'm attracted to this, too. What do I do? ’

Balin considers the other two options and then takes a serious look.

The mysterious darkness hidden by the Pope, the distribution of the author Kratan and Duke Abel.

I couldn't ignore it anywhere.

After considering it for a long time, Balin finally made a decision.

It wasn't just intuition or photography, it was a choice made with reasonable concerns.

That's all for today. Thank you for reading.

Which of the four places does Balin go first?

We'll draw three out of those who get it right with a comment and each of you will get 20 tickets as a gift!

So, readers, may Conan possess you. Then! Writer Evergreen will be leaving for Yeouido tomorrow.

Thank you for reading and look forward to seeing you again tomorrow in the review section.
