The wise man returns

‘Yes, a little more noisy. As long as it catches my eye, I won't be noticed. ’

Balin, who was smiling in repentance, touched her without my knowledge.

"I don't know if it's superimposed well, this look. ’

It was made by memory, but no matter how much I thought about it, it felt awkward.

The image of Klyden is like Balin.

The synchronization rate was close to perfection, as I had seen many faces from Ruby Tower.

However, that and strangeness were separate problems.

The person who took everything so thoroughly not long ago is completely unaware of this.

‘Shadow Spectre usually feels like this, but you shouldn't act properly. ’

Cleaden's appearance is only slightly known in the Pioneer Kingdom, but he is completely new to the Cadim Empire.

The disadvantage was that the image of the wizard had been overlaid with the appearance of being appropriately old, but the feeling was more awkward than I thought.

While thinking about it, five diners, including Balin, reached the big door.

Behind them is Duke Abel's office, a blackwood door with a purple curtain.

“Stop. Is that five? ”

“Of course. If you don't believe me, check it out. ”

Five or six men and women guarding the door opened their eyes.

Likewise, Balin recognized some of their faces.

"Those guys...! ’

I did not encounter it a few times, but it was definitely memorable.

It is the face of Vampire Sodmasters who have taken over the world at the same time, a direct family of Eilan, the Second Empress of the North Tra Empire.

The presence of them means that Schwein and Eilan are inside.

Balin glares at his heart and waits for permission to pass.

In the meantime, a representative of the appetizers who came first finished confirming the identity of all of them.

“I'm Elst, three here are Banan, Yur, Odogan, and... who are you? ”

“It's Klodan. He probably didn't know my face or name in the other direction. ”

“Hmmm... This is Klodan. Are you done?”

“... ”

The six gatekeepers had a secret conversation with each other.

Balin, who was watching, seemed to know what it was about.

‘Maybe you think you can get us all in here and eat without too much. Hateful bastards...! ’

I wanted to wipe it out right away, but it was more important to check who was inside.

First, we need to find out who's behind Schwein and Eilan. And it's second in line to find out if there are any more of those executive vampires from the Empire.

And there is one zero-rank job that needs to be more important than that.

To see if the Emperor of the Empire is in this room.

If the emperor of the Northtra Empire is here, it's because nothing is as big as that.

"Emperor..."

The look on Balin's face darkens, picturing the Emperor.

The Emperor's fundamental specs are extremely dual Grandmasters. The sword was the Grandmaster's longevity, and the magic was the ninth grade.

It may have been dealt with somehow, but the inherent abilities of the emperor have made it even more difficult for the Alliance to attack the North Tra Empire.

"He absorbs the power of his opponent just by hitting him, but he can never win in the long run!" ’

Like all vampires' ancestors, he possessed a peculiar ability to absorb the power of his opponent just by striking magic or sword.

He's an increasingly difficult opponent in the long run, so he has to take a single hit...

"We don't have the ability to destroy the Emperor in one fell swoop." ’

The opponent is a Grandmaster with nine classes of magic.

Even with the fused magic that poured out the ether, it was impossible to defeat it with a single blow unless it was a surprise.

‘Please, I hope that's not the case. ’

While I was relaxing, the doorman nodded and opened the door.

“Okay, get in. ”

“Phew.”

Balin smiled with a sincere repentance as he did not do any censorship.

If Duke Abel doesn't take care of it, this is exactly what he expected.

Yuck.

The people who entered and opened the door in the room were nervous without my knowledge about the colorful ornaments that filled the dark room.

“Boo, you called, Duke. ”

“... ”

The predecessor opened his mouth. But the only thing that came back was silence.

But Valine was able to see a new body building in it.

The number of new ones was two, one male and one female.

"They…!! ’

As soon as Balin's eyes opened, the other dietitians saw the shadows of the two men and women who woke up.

“Who... are you...”

One of the first foodies who opened his mouth was ripped out in an instant.

Quasizig!

Without even screaming, one of the appetizers bitten on the neck quickly collapsed into a mummy.

The other drinkers quickly turned to look at the situation.

“D-o, we have to run! ”

“No! Die here...! ”

You rush towards the door later, but the door is clearly sealed by the clans that were already waiting outside.

“Grrrghhh...”

“Ugh...”

Feeding on the blood, the mouth-breathing eaters collapsed like mummies.

The faces in between must be the first and second princesses. It was Schwein and Eilan Schephech.

‘The presence of them here means the Emperor has not come. ’

Recognizing the situation, Balin smiles in repentance.

If there was an emperor, he wouldn't be able to understand any tricks or narratives.

But if it was just the two of them, the story would be different.

Like Hartler Chepez, who was the Pope, there is enough room to change things through "transactions."

Balin has undone the teleport spell that was secretly preparing the coordinates.

I originally tried to run away right away, but it seemed like I could swing a little more if I could.

“Khhh!! ”

Valine takes a deep breath while the other two appetites fall.

“Phew. Another fine dinner today. Isn't that right, brother? ”

“I have to agree with you on this one. I like the price Duke Abel gave me. ”

A blood-sucking ghoul rises behind the two vampires wiping their mouths.

All that's left is Valine, who takes a deep breath and opens his mouth slowly.

“Ho, are you vampires? If that's true, I'd like to ask you a few questions before I die. ”

While acting out the scared voice, I straighten up.

I feel the difference in power, but I don't lose my mind. In other words, we act to look like useful people.

“Oh? What do you want to ask? Don't worry. Somewhere I don't even think about it for a second. ”

An arm is outstretched in front of Iran as he opens his mouth, shining his eyes.

Schwein was the first to exclude the Emperor from the North Tra Empire, and if he stopped them, so was Eilan.

“Interesting, you. ”

You scour the surface of Cleaden, covered in Valine's eyes.

It is impossible to see the reality with all your strength because it is magical.

However, Balin felt like she was being watched naked for some reason.

"His unique ability... yes, yes. It was a prophecy. '

A lifetime ago, Schwein showed a terrifying face that predicted all kinds of attacks on the opposing team.

Differences that cannot be covered by similar or slight advantages.

However, there was never anything that could pierce the other person's fantasy magic.

“Ask, what is it? ”

“Phew... I see. Does anyone in this mansion like you two for being vampires? ”

“... what? ”

When Balin asked, Schwein's forehead trembled for a moment.

I thought he would ask me life beggars, magical secrets, etc., but I was embarrassed by the unexpected question.

Balin who felt this continued to act as if she had calmed down even more.

“Don't be surprised. I had a hunch. that this mansion is slowly being filled with vampires."

"... You, why didn't you contact someone else? “

On a cold note, Valine kept her calm expression instead of her usual smile.

“Don't be surprised, because I've always wanted to be a vampire. ”

“Since before...? ”

Schwein, who stopped Eilan from moving, gestured to keep going.

Balain rolls his mouth up as he goes into an unintended development, just trying to explore.

“Yes, I've heard that vampires live forever, and getting Mana is just about sucking human blood. ”

“You're right. Our noble vampires are guaranteed immortality, and as you said, you can obtain Mana by sucking human or monster blood. ”

When I heard the answer I already knew, I felt a new emotion.

Balin spoke again as he had deceived the king.

If there was a difference, this time I was just more active on this side.

“Eternal youth and infinite Mana! This is what I've been dreaming about! If you make it so, I will dedicate my allegiance forever. ”

“Oh, really? Then what am I supposed to believe in when I see you? ”

Schwein, who is listening, strokes my chin and asks. I was definitely curious.

Balin replies calmly.

To deceive the target in front of you, you need neither too much nor too little.

It should be moderately intermediate, but even the idea that it truly devotes its allegiance.

It's very difficult to meet the standards of the first vampires I've ever seen.

But in fact, Balin was not the first to see them.

Thanks to that, he has succeeded in precisely hitting one of Schwein's standards.

“As a human being, I will serve you as much as I can, and in return, I will have eternal life to study magic. May the Masters keep that achievement. I'm just trying to reach out endlessly into the unknown. ”

“... Yes, I understand. ”

Every wizard's dream is to uncover and uncover the unknown.

What Balin said was the exact answer.

Shuwein's smile grows more intense as he fits in front and back.

“You've done a lot of research on us. ”

“Yes, I do. I have a dream of immortality... and I beg your pardon. ”

When I make a sound that I don't even have in my heart, my tongue will dry up.

But this is all for the sake of the realm. Balin endured the insistence of cursing.

“What will you bring us in exchange for eternal life? ”

The price! I've been waiting for this. After a short breath, Valine replies without delay.

“... Valine Theodore. ”

“Hmm?"

Suddenly, Schwain lets out a groan.

Eilan behind his back raises his voice at the same time.

“If you're Valine Theodore, you're the wizard who marched off with the golems this time, aren't you? He contributed to the eradication of the Pope. ”

“... Obviously. But how are you going to bring him to us? ”

Schwein asked me with a question.

Obviously, Balin was the target they were after.

Not only is he talented and capable, but he decisively killed the emperor Hartler Chepesh.

They say they are in competition with the Emperor, but before that, the Emperor was a powerful weapon of the North Tra Empire.

It is natural for a mortal to avenge his own kind on his brother's behalf.

But apart from that, there was a need to doubt what the middle-aged wizard had said.

This could have been a trap for them.

Two undecided vampires, but Valine had many signs she could have.

“Don't worry. You can use Earl Evelyn. ”

“Earl Evelyn? How?"

Both Eilan and Schwein open their eyes in a circle.

Since Evelyn signed with Balin, it may be possible to use her to bring her in.

But how do you know who's bringing Evelyn?

Balin gave a pre-prepared answer to that.

“I'm actually one of the deputies of Earl Wellington, who allowed her to sign a contract with Balin in this competition. She believes me completely now, so it's a piece of cake to tie a line to Evelyn. My Lord."

In Balin's answer, Schwein and Eilan look at each other.

Meanwhile, Balin smiles in secret while keeping her head down.

What you just said is the real Evelyn and Warwick relationship.

They know as much as there is an information network.

Then the credibility of what you just said is completely guaranteed.

“... Okay, so what are we going to do? ”

When Valine heard the answer she had been waiting for, she felt satisfied all over.

I smelled something amazing on the agenda I came up with right away.
