The wise man returns

Balin collects a little more Mana in anticipation of the sounds coming from inside the meeting room.

The Wind Mana starts to shake like a sailboat in a storm.

“Ahhhh!”

“Nothing, it's going down! ”

“Ouch! Help me! ”

The movement of the Mana gives a good idea of how the contents of the Mana move.

It's the same thing that you can't hear. But when I saw the form of the fallen nobles, it was obvious.

Bang, bang!

The knights at the entrance stand vigilant, not even knowing what's going on inside.

The boundary was broken after the nobleman from the middle class barely threw himself down.

Wudang Tang!!

The solid door suddenly breaks from the inside. The knights who were just looking ahead gathered there in a colourful hue.

“Earl Lemil! ”

“Earl Nihill! Are you okay?”

The nobleman who opened to the surprised knights shouted at the whale with a pale face.

“You fools! The whole castle is shaken by an earthquake... and you don't even look at my master? ”

When I first came out, my thunderous voice was silent as if I had quickly entered the rat hole.

Hundreds of people looked at themselves beautifully, but the outside landscape itself was so peaceful.

“Hey, what... what's going on? ”

The dazzled nobleman shifts his head to either side.

The hallway was as calm as ever, with no loose paintings or tangled carpets.

The nobles who were in the conference room swaying in real time were shocked.

“Woof!”

“Hey, guys! Come on, come on, save me! ”

The other nobles appeared, one by one, behind the back of the surprised nobles.

They were all having tousled hair and pale complexions, as if they were pre-woven.

“Hooray, my lord! ”

“What the hell happened...”

“That's what we ask! You idiots! ”

The nobles spilled all sorts of abusive words to the furious knights.

Even in Balin, a third party, I was secretly angry with them, so it was obvious how they felt.

“Hmph. Hmph. ”

Balin clears his throat carefully. The nobles who were raising the ranks of profanity turned their heads for a moment.

“... Ball! ”

“Since when!? ”

The nobles smiled as soon as they saw Balin.

For them, Valine is the best VIP among the VIPs. I couldn't show him how angry I was in front of him.

“I've been coming here for a while. Until the aristocracy meeting is ongoing. ”

“Ah…! Oops! I didn't know you were coming at all! Because of my disgruntled henchmen... they don't know what's going on in the earthquake. ”

After finishing his speech, Duke Two-headed laughs, revealing his front teeth. Suddenly, I thought it looked like a rat.

Balin shakes her head, looking at the nobles for a moment.

Rats are considered selfish animals, but I throw myself generously for the herd.

Comparing it to these guys was an unfortunate excuse.

“Yes?”

“No, an earthquake. I don't know what you're talking about. Maybe you're feeling dizzy...”

Balin tilts his head with a crooked expression.

In fact, there was an earthquake inside the conference room.

The answer would be the same, not just to him, but to anyone on the outside.

“Well, that can't be. ”

“But we must be...! ”

The nobles who had blood around their necks looked at each other.

Balin wedges his face.

“Of course, if you think you have an earthquake, you can't help it. I just want you to know that I'm willing to swear on all my honor that there was no earthquake. ”

“Honor! ”

The nobles' mouths snapped as soon as the word "honor" came out.

Saying it out loud means you have that kind of guts.

If they stand there carelessly, they may lose their whole lives to the makers of battle golems.

Given the usefulness of the golem and the talent of Balin, this was a situation to avoid no matter what.

“... off. ”

“Heh. Heh. I guess I'm a little sleepy. Oops!”

Since the nobles were quick to notice, I corrected their words.

It doesn't matter that there was a real earthquake in the conference room.

What matters is how it works for their interests.

The high-ranking nobles in the conference room were thoroughly infused since childhood, to say the least.

“But why the ball? ”

“Oh, well...”

Balin tells the story he was waiting for at the entrance.

“Here's what happened. ”

“No, these guys...! ”

Nobles who want to raise their voices again. In a way, they were very simple people.

Just as Noho was about to burst out, a word from Balin resounded between everyone.

“Truly loyal knights. I can only say it's the Cadim Empire. ”

“I'm... sorry! Hahahaha!”

Originally, the words to start with changed to gratitude in an instant.

Greasy paper was a much quicker transition than burning paper.

“Hard knights like this are rare where I come from. I can imagine how amazing you must be to have all these friends. ”

“Hahahaha! No way. These guys are sincere! And I don't give a damn about loyalty! I'm so glad the ball was so kind to you! ”

Suddenly, the atmosphere that seemed to have left the blizzard in front of my eyes became harmful like a spring flower garden.

The knights were speechless, but only their eyes rolled around the derrick, feeling like they were going back and forth between summer and winter.

“I'm impressed. If you have friends like these, I think you can trust them. ”

“Hahaha!! Thank you for looking out for me! ”

Thanks to his subordinates, the nobles were able to have a good relationship with Valine.

Valine pretends not to reject the nobles' escorts, but looks back slowly.

The knights were still confused, but he reminded me of a bear that was covered in honey.

Maybe if I was incentivized to do this, I wouldn't have to listen to any complaints.

That's how messy it was in the first place.

‘Friends who are faithful to my work should not lose money. Yeah. Except for the Horses. ’

Balin winks quietly and goes into the meeting room.

The furniture in the conference room was a complete mess. I could tell as well as I could that I was shaking myself.

“My pen, my pen! ”

“Bring the chairs! ”

Several nobles move according to orders from all over.

Balin stares at the one standing still.

“...... ”

One nobleman, Randolph, sits recklessly and turns his head to see if he feels his gaze.

I can't even read a single dot of fluctuation on an indifferent face.

Balin looks at him carefully.

‘I don't feel the Mana of Darkness... but in fact, I think he's one of his servants. ’

The Pilgrimage of Sil-Lenon is currently inactive in the Duke of Rudens.

Unless you're hiding from the owner, Randolph must be involved, since Lennon wouldn't be ready to do that now.

“Come on, sit down. The meeting room is now organized and we will restart it. ”

“Shouldn't I be there? According to the regulations, no foreign nobles...”

“Haha! It used to be, but now it's the colostrum that rocks the foundation of the Contest! As a contestant, of course you may have questions! ”

That's 180 degrees from what the undertakers said.

Balin sits in the prepared seat, smiling bloody.

The nobles' gaze at him was full of respect.

Valine is a combat golem.).

Many of the nobles who had contacted Ruby Tower in advance had already known about it.

"No one can handle a golem like that except that boy..."

‘We cannot treat them carelessly. That's not gonna happen! ’

The aristocrats who made themselves nervous gave these words to Balin even after sitting around.

Of course, most of them highlight the special treatment Balin is receiving!

And it was a self-expression that they wanted to have such a good relationship with Balin.

Only one man, Randolph, was different.

He had been silent ever since before Balin came in.

I thought I was being manipulated like the Duke of Santos before, but when I looked closely, I was also not like the Duke of Santos.

You said that when you were a kid? Then I guess that's natural. ’

After finishing his thought, Balin turns his gaze to the side and opens his mouth.

“What's going on, the Emperor's War? ”

This is why he came here.

That's why Balin asked about the progress from the beginning.

‘Obviously, since we've been talking about this since last night, let's hit it before we get it right in advance and listen to the truth! ’

“The Caesar's War... well, the Duc Rudens didn't know anything about it...”

The nobles blurred their words and gathered their gaze into one place.

At the end was Randolph, a freckled young man who was still expressionless.

He's the one who's done the craziest thing in the tournament, probably still his puppet.

It was only natural that Balin's gaze became cooler.

“I'm very sorry, but this is also our responsibility. Please resume the competition as the Duke will cover all required expenses. ”

Randolph's expressionless mouth lowers his head lightly.

At the same time, several nobles of the Duke of Rudens said in unison.

“Look! Even the Duke of Rudens was fooled by them! ”

“We must close this tournament with the Horsemen's Tricks at once and inform all the nobles of the upcoming competition! ”

“It covers all of our operating expenses! What are you hesitating about?! ”

They are chattering in medium-grade heating, but the contents are one.

The imperial election is null and void. Let's open a new tournament from the beginning, as we will be responsible and indemnified.

Valine's eyes were meaningfully shining.

‘You can't do that. ’

How did you get into the 4th Anniversary of the Emperor's War? If you fall from here, you will have to wait for the next event without any commitment.

What's even more terrible is the Rear Duke, which will lead to both the Demon Prince and the North Tra Empire during that time!

At that time, it wasn't even hard for them to make the majority of the Imperial nobles flinch.

Then it's over! The Qadim Empire was nearly torn apart into dozens of pieces.

“Nonsense! I'm sure the other players will reject it! ”

“Even if you support operating expenses, the gold from the nobles in the process...! ”

“Do the math. I'll support you all.”

The austerity of the opposition bursting out like wildfire was silent in a word.

Randolph was the one who took the bail. If he says so, it actually means that the Duke of Rudens does it.

He is the richest family in the Cadim Empire and the world's largest repudiation family.

They were able to compensate for all that they had spent.

“Er... Er...”

“Ha, but the others! Remaining contestants...! ”

“If they're good enough, they'll come back up. Isn't that right? First of all, I think it's the first time to completely eliminate any suspicion of interference from the Horses. I take it you're not? ”

A cold blade of words breaks the gates of the peasant nobles.

At this rate, it was obvious that the current competition would be null and void.

If Balin hadn't come in on time, it would have been.

“You're telling me we're working with the Horsemen! Randolph Rudens!”

“I just told you my priorities. You're reacting violently.”

“What?! ”

Sharp austerity continues towards the peasant nobles.

The nobles who stood by Duke Rudens.

“The contestants will understand! They want their honor more than anyone! ”

“I can't believe the war between the Horses...!! ”

Balin quietly raises her hands among the roaring crowd.

Ugh.

The powerful Mana inside is transformed into an immense power.

Bang!

As I hit my desk, a loud rumbling sound spread to the floor.

Of course, the noises of the noisy nobles were silent in a heartbeat.

“I'm sorry, can I just say one thing?"

Balin glows after finishing her speech.

Now it was his turn to lead the flow.

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

In fact, I had a little dinner, and then I left... and I had no choice but to use a few. Please forgive me.

Tomorrow I will definitely go back to normal and make a fun article.

In the meantime, we would greatly appreciate it if you could stay in the review area.

It was more than green.
