The wise man returns

The Pope who spoke up to that point lightly nodded his head toward the bottom.

“Then I assembled the sacred objects underground, just in case, and I created a huge sect. The original goal was to create a powerful use of large-scale scripture, or a solution that was just as powerful. ”

“Hmm.”

Balin lets out a short moan.

As a person who had seen the members of the clergy in person, the scale was truly unimaginable.

A powerful Divine Constabulary that would have exerted tremendous power on anything if it had been properly gathered!

If it had been completed as originally planned, the Demon King would have suffered enormous damage.

The secret of changing history was coming out of the Pope's mouth.

I tried to stay calm, but my heart was pounding. Mana added that feeling as she flowed through the veins.

“It was easy to gather the sacraments. The Holy See has a great history. And as I was about to draw the magic circle, I saw an amazing sight. ”

“... amazing sights? ”

The ruins of the border area and the members of the Bible alone are surprising enough.

This time, the Pope was trembling.

I was so focused that I was thirsty. Balin took a quick sip of the rest of the coffee and listened to the Pope.

“I'm old, but I remember exactly what I saw that day. Fourteen years from now, when Nemrod's arm was cut and wounded in the process of creating a magic circle. ”

“... Deputy Minister Nemrod? ”

Surprised to see Nemrod standing beside him.

It is because no matter how high you hold your face, you do not look more than 40 years old.

“I was the Inquisitor back then. It's a starter, if you will. ”

It made sense to hear Nemrod's reply.

The Inquisitor reconciles everyone who belongs to him or her to be the most trustworthy person for each other.

Johannes IV worked with Nemrod because he was the Inquisitor.

Balin nods and urges you to:

“So... what happened? ”

“Yes. At that time...”

The beginning was that Nemrod, who was selling the Bible, accidentally put a carving knife in my arm.

After a quick first aid treatment, the moment he used recovery magic with divine power, Dragonheart suddenly started to glow.

“It naturally absorbed the sacred power of the sacred objects. As if he were alive...”

“... ”

Balin, who had heard so far, was so frustrated that I turned my back.

The Pope answered the question as expected, colorlessly.

“Bones and flesh are rising, creating a shape. ”

“... Leven? ”

“No, what it created was the creature that we know well. The most powerful and divine race in the middle. The dragon.”

Balin, who heard so far, shakes his head without even knowing it.

Even a dragon, it was an unbelievable story of regenerating the entire body with only a heart left.

If that's true, I understand what the Pope and Nemrod kept secret.

“I like dragons, but what does that have to do with Leven? ”

“Phew...”

When Balin asked, the Pope closed his eyes for a moment and took a deep breath.

Even though I decided to tell them all, I was hesitant.

At this time, waiting for me to get my thoughts straight was the lowest of the steps.

I'm sorry I've been waiting for you. You're the only one with sound.

In severe cases, it was mixed with lies, but the information caught my ankle at the crucial moment.

At the end of a decision, telling the truth is only a tenth, no, a 20th.

Rather than waiting for it, I had better make sure that what I had assumed was correct.

“So, is Leven the hatchling of the dragon, or is it a human hybrid with the dragon? ”

Balin gives a relaxed expression and says what he reasoned.

However, as soon as I heard the Pope's answer, the idea was shattered.

“No, she's not Hatchling. She is the Dragon himself. ”

* * *

The Pope explained:

As soon as a dragon reanimates itself from the heart, it becomes human. That's what Leven said.

“It was a miracle. At that moment, I felt instinctive. She said that she, the child, was personally descended from Layan, or that he gave us an incarnation as long as he saw fit. ”

The Pope relaxed his strength after finishing saying that. My whole body felt like I was in a good mood.

The following words were about how he raised Leven and the incidents that occurred in between.

Likewise, there were many unusual things, but Balin said he would.

As Climax passed by, the events that followed seemed relatively light.

“That's why we weren't surprised when we heard the boy had become a Grandmaster. I didn't have a sense of speed, but of course I had the power to have it. ”

“... Leven... dragon? ”

Balin looks ridiculous.

However, I could not find any feeling that the Pope's expression, posture, or statement just now were false.

“That's all I have to say. Let me know if you have any more questions. I will answer everything for now. ”

“Wait. Wait... that...”

One fact passed through Balin's head, shaking her head in a nonsense.

The Dragonhearts they claim have two guns.

The first Dragonheart has become Leven, and the second Dragonheart is now in the Pope's hands.

But what are the experiments that the Pope and Nemrod did in the basement?

“So what you were doing in the basement...”

“That's right. We saw the first miracle and thought, if the first one happened, it wouldn't be the second." ”

I mean, the regeneration experiments we were doing in the basement were to create a second leven.

Of course, he has continued to fail, but he is confident that he will succeed someday.

When Balin heard the story, he laughed in vain.

It was because he looked more like a wizard than a priest.

Experiment! Again! The exploration spirit contained in it was one of the essential elements to have as a wizard.

“That's why we think that Rayan himself came to save the world. That's why they call him God. ”

“... hmm. ”

Leven is a dragon. It certainly explains all of his great talents.

No, maybe Leven was too late because of his human form.

However, the question was not all solved.

The reason why Lennon ran into Leven, and the symptom he was suffering from.

Even the Pope didn't seem to know what caused it.

I had no choice but to think of Reuben's birth as the coming of God Layan.

‘I wonder if God has come too. Whew…’

If that is true, Balin has established pride and contention with the former life and the living.

I can't believe you were joking with God.

“Is there anything else I can ask you? ”

“... Actually... no, I don't. ”

Balin left to tell the Pope about Leven's condition.

Leven lost all his strength in his former life, and that has nothing to do with the Holy See.

‘Perhaps in Leben's detail, the Pope's office is more likely to prescribe it again. Then…’

Prescription results must have been what they had seen in their previous lives.

Leven will lose his strength and act in the holy law just like the other princes, and by his power he will save countless lives.

“... you can't be satisfied with that. ”

“Hmm…? ”

“What?"

Balin spoke to himself without even knowing it. Through her eyes, I saw her in my past life.

Leven was conducting the Bible with a large number of high priests.

I didn't know why she was so self-inflicted.

But in this life, I felt the reason for it. It was a sorrow for what he had lost.

The Pope and Nemrod looked up, but Balin held his fist tightly without answering.

You've become a Grandmaster and you lose all that power?

It is a great loss to humanity, and even Leven himself will not be able to escape that shock.

“... No. Nothing.”

Balin eventually did not speak out of his mouth about Leven's symptoms.

The Pope opened his eyes for a moment, smiling lightly.

“By the way, he is the one who took the sacrament of the Church. Last year, no one knew your name, but over the course of the year, you've made a lot of difference in the world. ”

“...? ”

A sudden compliment made Valine tilt her head slightly.

I didn't know if this was true or if she was hiding her darkness.

Meanwhile, the Pope's smile became even darker.

“That's why Layan may have placed the sacred object on your neck. It would be better to use it on someone like you than it would ever be in the basement of the Holy See. ”

“... ”

At that moment, Balin scratched his back neck without my knowledge.

This necklace was given to me by Leven at the last moment.

If she really is one of Layan's incarnations, then maybe she really did give herself this artifact.

‘You're thinking nonsense. I'm tired too. ’

Balin regained his posture after clearing his absurd thoughts.

Meanwhile, the Pope finished speaking while touching the Dragon Heart.

“I hope you'll always think about why it came to you. Not that I can tell from the walk so far... but I'm asking you again for this opportunity. ”

“Thank you for the good advice. ”

Balin bows.

The Pope's words reminded me of the mission on his necklace.

Of course, I couldn't forget that.

Life in 85 years is not so easily forgotten by a brief moment of happiness.

“Oh, right. Ballin, I heard you had a good relationship with Mr. Leven the other day. ”

“Yes?”

As the story was about to end, the Pope suddenly brought up Leven's story.

It was an unexpected request to speak to a nervous Balin about the disease.

“Please lead him well. If we are in this world with a human heart to the power of God, we must be influenced by man, and it depends a lot on the human being who is closest to him. ”

“... that's...”

Balin was unable to answer kindly.

He is an outsider in this world, a regretter who has lived a single life.

If there were no mission to stop the Demon Prince, there would be no reason to return.

If Leven was affected by the Pope's words, at least it shouldn't be him.

People who live once and repeat their lives again.

It won't be the same.

“... I'll try. ”

In the end, Balin did not have a clear answer. However, the Pope seemed satisfied enough by that alone.

It looked like a parent who left the child to the teacher.

The moment I thought about it, Valine was able to smile a little.
