The wise man returns

“?! ”

“Well…! ”

As expected, Nemrod's chancellor was furious, and the Pope uttered a heavy groan.

“Ball Ball. How rude of you. ”

“Haha...”

Your palms are stretched out toward Nemrod speaking stiff. It belongs to the Pope.

“... ”

Nemrod, who was about to say Moore, shuts up.

He realized that he was not in a position to leave.

He quietly steps back and collects the sacred power.

He was about to use the sacred law, but Valine was already aware of it.

‘The Pope's skills are similar to those of Penzance... maybe a little higher. And if we get to Nemrod... five? No, maybe three. ’

The Pope's question reaches the ears of Balin, who once again anticipated the battle situation.

“How much do you know? Ball?”

It seemed to have a lot of meaning. Valine glowed her eyes and spoke.

“I know everything. Otherwise, they wouldn't have even thought to come here. ”

“... all of it? ”

At that moment, I was blinded by suspicion in the eyes of the Pope.

I have doubts about myself. If I answered wrong here, I might not be able to get the principle of my visit to the Holy Father's Church.

In the simplest way, there is an explanation. However, after a long experience, Balin knew one more thing that was more effective.

It is to pass responsibility on to others.

“I'm not sure that's all of them. Because…”

Balin briefly drags the horse and looks behind his back.

“I don't know if this is all he taught me or if there's anything else the Pope is hiding. ”

“Balin Undertaking! ”

Immediately after finishing the sentence, Nemrod's face was embarrassed.

He was struck by lightning in the dry sky.

I told Valine not to go near Leven, but she was classified as a synagogue playing with a wizard for a moment.

“What the... Holy Father. No, I can explain. ”

“I'll hear about that later. First, I have to finish talking to the guests. ”

The Pope turns to Balin after finishing his speech.

I mean, I'm totally focused on talking to him.

Nemrod has been framed for his crimes, but with superhuman patience, he retreats without a word.

“Only what you taught Nemrod. We've been moving in with this guy since the beginning. ”

“... ”

Balin doesn't know anything, but he looks like he's bluffing.

All he knows is what the Pope and Nemrod pulled out of the basement.

Even in that conversation, there was nothing about Leven.

But all of his senses were speaking. The Dragon Heart in my arms is clearly connected to Leven.

“However, there may be differences between people, so I will teach you what the body knows. ”

“... ”

In an instant, Balin slips the needle down his throat.

Leven's ability, which he had never seen in his previous life, finally came to know the secret behind it.

“But first, if the ball has something to offer you. ”

“...! ”

The Pope's words were the same stories I heard from Leven earlier.

If you want something, pay for it instead of thinking of getting it for free.

It was also one of the few teachings of the Church of Layan that Balin agreed with.

“Something corresponding… the moment I mistook myself for being in the market. ”

“That's what it looked like. Haha. If we don't have this kind of superiority, we'll be eaten by the Seculars. ”

The Pope laughed and passed away, but in fact, this was not a word to be taken lightly.

I think I'm in the market In other words, it is a parable of the Pope to a street vendor.

In a way, it was a kind of insult, but I couldn't find a single detail in the look on Balin's face.

That is why the Pope also passes flexibly.

Apart from this, the price of what I heard from the Pope must have been enormous.

Your labor force, small ones, and the assets of Ruby Tower may be drained together.

It gives me goose bumps just hearing it. If you fail to pay the price, negotiation is a lack of time.

It was obvious how they would treat Balin.

A wizard who doesn't know the finest secrets, and also has the sacred relics.

Although he had just received an apology, it was weak enough to break up the relationship as soon as it broke.

‘Probably trying to kill me right now and keep my mouth shut. ’

Balin smiles and looks at Nemrod behind his back.

I can't feel the movement of the Divine Power, but I'm sure I'm up to something powerful.

But Balin was relaxed. It's because I brought something in advance for this to happen.

“In return... how about this? ”

After finishing his speech, you see a dragonheart wrapped in a black cloth in his arms.

Sararak.

As soon as the cloth was loosened, the light filled the room. The Pope, who confirmed his identity, was surprised and fell backwards into the chair.

“Ugh!”

“Ah!!! ”

Nemrod rushes to meet the fallen Pope.

Watching Balin, even Nemrod's hands tremble.

“I feel like I'm having fun in the basement. I went and found this. ”

“... you...”

For the first time, the Pope with a finite expression put profanity in his mouth.

At the same time, the furniture in the room began to shake together.

Divine power! The leader of the Rayan Cult has finally begun to show divine power.

If you respond here, it will be a big fight. A big fight about whether the Holy See collapses or Balin collapses.

But Balin had no intention of making things that big.

The Catholic Church is no less powerful when it comes to fighting the Demon King.

You can't fight the other way around when you have to hold hands.

It was always a threat that Balin took out the Dragonheart.

“I'll return it. In exchange for hearing the secret of Representative Leven. ”

“... hmm? ”

The Pope's face seemed to have changed soon.

A wizard with a Dragon Heart is incredibly powerful.

He will, too. The Dragon Heart sees an infinite amount of power.

There's an infinite amount of concentrated energy in that apple jewel that Manawa can't even compare to.

If you use it, the Wizard's power is tens of times stronger. No, it gets a few hundred times stronger.

Giving such power back came to me in a different way for the Pope.

It means that Balin has no intention of fighting himself by one percent.

Of course, I didn't relax because I could only get information and use magic.

Balin was aware of that, but it seemed good.

I brought out the Dragon Hearts anyway to keep them calm.

Later, I didn't know, but now there was no reason to take it.

It was definitely a powerful artifact, but for now it is the same as the tree.

‘I don't want to bother Reuben. I also have to worry about storage problems. ’

“You don't seem to believe it, so take it first. ”

“... first? ”

“On the assumption that you will tell me everything without hiding it. You're a priest. You wouldn't be lying. ”

The eyes of Balin glow sharply after finishing speaking.

The Pantheon does not lie. It is a bypass of the words, "Will this rule be broken in front of the Wizard?"

A word that reminds you of God's teachings while also interfering with the competition between jobs!

There couldn't have been a priest who wouldn't go over here.

“... Of course. Give me back the Dragon Heart and I'll tell you everything I know. ”

The Pope sighed from deep in his lungs.

In the meantime, Nemrod brought coffee and refreshments.

It was a beverage suitable for driving out deep sleepless nights.

“I'm just saying, I'm sure Representative Leven knows I'm here. ”

“Don't worry. I didn't poison it. ”

Nemrod, the substitute who brought the refreshments, immediately recognized the importance and said.

Only then did Balin drink coffee in peace.

The strong coffee aroma filled my mouth with sweet and bitter flavor at the same time I smelled it with my nose.

“It tastes good. I guess not just Leven, but the other ambassadors do things like that. ”

“It's a little hobby. ”

Nemrod simply replied to Balin's compliment. My mouth was cold enough to say that I spit.

“Then I'll ask again. Holy Father.”

“... ”

The Pope nodded instead of answering. Balin was the one who thought it was ready.

“What is Representative Leven to you? ”

“God.”

“It's a god.”

Both the Pope and Nemrod hesitated.

At that moment, Balin's eyes became dazed.

* * *

“God, what the...”

“Maybe it's more of an avatar, actually. ”

When the Pope finished speaking, Valine cast a questionable gaze.

The Leian Cult is the only system that serves him.

Although the angels below ruled over the power that Layan shared, it was not always God as a proxy.

What you just heard from Balin came as a shock.

Simply a synagogue is better, but it is the Pope Johannes IV who is in front of him.

He is the leader of the Church, the leader of the human race between Leian and the humans.

He said he was a god. This is one of two meanings.

Either the Pope and Nemrod's palace are corrupted by the Dark Mana, or Leben really is a god to be called.

Valine takes a deep breath and checks again.

“... Are you sure about that? The word" god "? ”

“I'm sure. It's just a miracle. ”

After the Pope finished speaking, he shook his head as if he couldn't believe it.

Balin looks back at Nemrod in a unimaginable remark.

But all I could see was Nemrod nodding his head as well.

“... What happened? ”

Balin guessed the Pope in a little more detail and heard some surprising facts.

“The first time was when I got the Dragon Heart. about 30 years ago. When I was deputy, I served as deputy for the northernmost parish of the Cardim Federation, the border with the Northtra Empire. ”

“If it was the northernmost parish, you'd have had a hard time. ”

The northernmost parish of the Cadim Federation is the number one refuge area of the High Septon, along with the Great Wall.

It is not only against the North Tra Empire, but also against the Northern Great Mountains, the monsters of the Frost Plains, and the harsh environment.

The pope, who was lightly large, continued to talk.

“I found a ruin there one day, and inside it was this Dragonheart and many other artifacts. It was sealed together. ”

‘Swords, magic wands, bows and more…! ’

Balin was able to draw the scenery of the place in her head, even if she didn't listen anymore.

Even so, the ruins the Pope spoke of were the place where the group gained Class S artifacts in their past lives.

"I thought there were some empty spots...! ’

The Pope said without knowing what he was thinking.

Thirty years ago, he brought two Dragon Hearts and several sacraments and said that he could become a Pope thanks to the proper use of the sacraments.
