The wise man returns

The power of the Duke of Rudens

“... me. ”

“...... No. ”

The sound coming from both ears lifts the eyelids.

The first things I saw were the faces of Leven and Sonia, covering the sky and the sky.

“... What, you came to my room to wake me up? ”

“What are you talking about? This is a stadium.”

“I'm disappointed to see you as someone who enters someone else's room without permission. Valine.”

In response, Balin blinked a few times.

As I regained my mind, I began to hear the sound of heaven and the surrounding area.

“This is... ah. Yeah, I asked you to wake me up. ”

After speaking, Balin rises to her feet. At that moment, a drop of water in the snow started to flow.

“Huh…? ”

You rub your sleeves up and wipe off the damp moisture.

Balin rubs his arms against his eyes.

As Valine wiped her tears out, she realized that she was lying down and cutting something.

"Pillows...? But I never brought anything like that... ’

As I reached for the pillow, I felt the shape of a soft leg.

Only then did Valine realize what a pillow she was covering.

“Leven.”

“Yes?”

“Don't tell me this has to go back and forth from here, too? ”

Leven replied with a smile that he had just seen at the Holy See.

“No way. ”

“Just in case. ”

After speaking, Balin immediately raises her torso. I had no choice but to find out who the pillow was.

Balin, sitting in a chair, tries to lightly unwind.

Zec.

My arms and legs moved lightly. I didn't think that stretching would be necessary.

“Did you sleep well? What's going on here? ”

“Sonia let me off easy. While the ball is sleeping. ”

“Sonya?”

Balin looks at Sonya with surprised eyes. Then there was the warmth that felt like something had been swept through my body.

“You gave the soldiers a first aid massage at the Great Wall! Is it working? ”

“Hmm. Very good. ”

Valine looks satisfied, moving her arms and legs a few more times.

I don't know what the secret is, but yesterday's fatigue disappeared completely.

Thanks to this, Balin's current condition has allowed him to watch all the games carefully, except for the excellent, slightly sore eyes.

“Good for you.”

Sonia smiles as she hears the answer. The cat's tail twitches as if it were in a good mood.

Seeing that, I suddenly remembered a man in Balin's head.

“By the way, what about Arnax? You weren't with Arnaux? ”

“Arnacs has fallen and is now in the audience. I thought you said you were here. ”

It was an answer that made me feel sorry for him for not knowing why.

Of course, both Sonia and Arnax surrendered to the outcome, but that and this are separate.

Balin turns his head to Leven, lowering his tone and asking.

“You woke me up, by the way...”

“Yes, it's the next game. The competitor you said was so important. ”

“… umm. ”

When Valine heard the answer, she gave a short moan. It's finally his turn to be Duke Rudens.

“I wonder. I heard the Duke of Rudens is of the same grade as his master. I wonder how Duke Rudens' disciple is doing! ”

Valine struggled to get a smile out of Sonia's mouth.

Duke Rudens is a merchant, not a dancer. Of course, they were dominated by gold through trading with great land rather than force.

I laughed because I thought the Duke's disciple from there would be on the training ground.

‘Do you want to use gold as a weapon? Funny thing.'

Money cannot save lives from the blade of the Demon King.

Saving the rich who were screaming was always the heavenly soldiers who were despised and enslaved beneath them.

Thinking about the past, Balin felt a headache as she moved on.

‘Dammit, now is not the time. ’

After turning Balin's back, Sonya shakes her head and asks with her arms around her neck.

“But Valine, what are Duke Rudens' disciples fighting for? The last time I asked you about it, you just laughed. ”

Hearing Sonya's words, Balin smiles deeply.

Perhaps Duke Kettle thought the same as he did.

“This is not Duke Rudens' apprentice. ”

“No? Then what? ”

“Rather than the duc's apprentice, I'd rather be the duc's savior. ”

Maybe the opposite of that relationship. Balin forcefully pushes the back horse into his mouth.

Fortunately, Sonia grumbles in a disappointing tone without noticing her insides.

“So you're like a mercenary? You've seen a lot of mercenaries in the Great Wall! If you just raised their voices and took them away, you wouldn't be able to make excuses. ”

“Haha.”

The other two smile lightly at Sonya's complaint. In the meantime, the cleanup of the training ground is almost complete.

“Oh...”

“Duke of Rudens...”

I felt nervous among the citizens I was watching. It did not block the audience and attendance seats.

Especially the superpowers in the front seat were raising more vigilance than anywhere else.

“Duke of Rudens...”

“You've done quite well in the first round, but this round won't be as good as the opponent. ”

This opponent of Silon is Claude of Sapphire Tower.

He is a strong man with experience and experience to his age, as well as many combat skills.

Those who gathered were confident that he would be able to do his part.

The role of the reader.

“Then go Yang! Enter!”

It was the shout of the moderator that stopped the beginning again.

Silon and Claude appear at the entrance opposite you as it grows noisy as you wait.

“Whoa!! ”

“Beat Silon! ”

As everyone shouts, the wizards surrounding you blow Mana into the shield as a whole.

The wizards' faces were hardened together.

Instinct is that this fight is going to be huge.

“... that boy...”

Claude looks up at Silon from the training ground.

Apparently, he's an unusual boy. Even though I moved and searched for Mana, that didn't change.

But Silon managed to defeat one of Expert's finest swordsmen.

There was enough reason why I could not be careless.

"Knight versus wizard... A knight of equal skill would certainly benefit." ’

Claude takes a breath.

He was a tower master. He was not just a visitor, but a representative of the Sapphire Tower.

‘I am... a rider. I won't lose. I won't lose! ’

The artifacts all over my body were shriveled up.

It was the opposite of his usual modest attire.

“Then, Yang, get ready. ”

Both appearances were on the training ground, and the moderator gave them a moment.

The cheerfulness, chatter, and conversation gradually disappeared. At that moment, Claude opened his mouth.

“I'll tell you in advance. I will never hold a grudge against you as a child, so you must fight to the death. ”

“Please take good care of it. ”

Silon replied with a light head. The posture is the same as when you face your first round of enemies.

Balin, who was watching the two, kicked his tongue.

“My golem is a pill. Look at that. You're wearing artifacts all over your body. ”

“Yes?”

When Leven, who saw nothing, asked lightly, pointing to Claude's arms and legs.

“Look, there's a bunch of rings and bracelets on your hands. They're all artifacts. ”

“Clearly Claude doesn't dress like that. ”

Reven nods, looking at the training ground again.

“A guy like that with a raggedy-ass artifact like that...”

“I mean it. ”

The horse swallowed the saliva. Claude was trying to do everything he could right now.

The Wizard of the Seven Classes is as strong as the Master of the Sword.

If that power pours out with power, this place will be a ruin.

Sonya sticks her upper body behind Balin's nervous back.

“Are you crying?”

“What?”

At a moment's blindness, Valine reaches out, bewildered.

However, his inability to climb the ranks of Expert dislodges Sonya's arm was unlikely.

“Wait, I can't see! ”

“Don't be so nervous. ”

“That's not it…! ”

Balin tries to pull out the head between her breasts.

It's because the rest of the training ground is hidden in the chest.

But Sonja hugs Valine with more strength than with less effort.

The more I did, the more I felt the softness on either side of my face.

For him who had studied magic all his life, this skin was a harsh ordeal.

Eventually, the situation calmed down only after an intervention from a lower Leven.

“Why all of a sudden? You scared me!”

As Valine breathes, she frowns and asks.

I couldn't figure out why I was playing this prank before the big game.

Sonya, who heard the communication, replied with a straight face, "Of course not."

“You can't even see me when I'm so nervous. That's why you let the Wall go free. ”

Balin sighs as he watches the expression on his face.

He smiles with no jokes, but he can't be angry with them.

“Hehe, thank goodness. Valine, you're relaxed. ”

“Relaxing... hmm. ”

Balan, who was sitting in his seat, tried to raise his voice for a moment when he heard something coming from behind his back.

“Obviously. Everything that had been stiff was washed away. ”

“What?"

What did Leven say when Valine turned around and greeted him? I made a face.

While we were talking, the anxiety that appeared to be washed away while watching the game.

“Sonia did a great job. Isn't that right, Valine? ”

“... I'll take that as a compliment, but next time, I'll say something in advance and ask. ”

When he finishes speaking, he sighs and turns his eyes to the training ground.

In the meantime, you seem to have finished greeting, but oddly, Claude is furious.

“Huh?"

“What's going on...”

I couldn't hear my voice because it was so far away. Balin listens with a sonic-amplified magic.

Spot.

After a light wave spreads, you begin to hear Claude and Silon's conversation.

Balin opens her eyes wide as she listens to a few words.

If what you just heard is true, Silon may be more powerful than you think.

* * *

Just moments ago, when Balin was using sound amplification magic, Silon and Claude were facing each other, waiting for instructions to start.

Claude, who collected Mana, closes his eyes. He tries to bring Mana Hart to an optimal state.

‘I need to be ready to use the artifact as well as the main body. The opponent is the Duke of Rudens, so don't let his guard down. Death by mistake. Wake up, Claude! ’

Duke Rudens is one of the most powerful families in the Cadim Empire.

He came out on behalf of the place, so he had no idea what he was hiding, and he had no idea.

If you try to get to know your opponent, your neck will explode!

If you don't know anything, you have to fight the best you can.

You're on your own. Claude takes a slow breath.
