The wise man returns

Duke Abel's surprise was unimaginable.

The Demon Monarchs have been wiped out in history since the Great War a thousand years ago.

A thousand years since they were driven south of the Great Wall into a barren wasteland. In all these years, the Horsemen have never shown themselves to the world.

But their shadows have been a constant presence in the history of the world for a thousand years.

That is why the Great Wall was built, and the whole World War ended in dramatic reconciliation several times.

I could see how big the impact of the Horsemen was, even if I could see the reaction to Sil-Lenon right away.

It wasn't a conspiracy. It wasn't a personal accident.

He just showed up to the trials, got beaten to death by Leven, and ran away.

Nevertheless, the eclipse had to fall into fear for a while.

The Demon Lord's Jundong was just as terrifying.

But the wizard in front of him introduced himself as an ally of the Demon Prince.

Darkening was the first thing, but in the meantime, Duke Abel realized that the information he had heard earlier was true.

‘Yes, the Demon King. The Demon Lord will know more about the vampires. ’

In the war a thousand years ago, vampires were also one of the magical things belonging to the Demon King's army.

Then nothing unusual about the vampires is known to the Demon Prince.

“Silon, I had some expectations from the time he showed up. If they were on the same side, they wouldn't have made another entrance. ”

“Haha.”

Balin smiles lightly, decorating his walk.

Originally, Clyden was fed to the Darkness, but Balin said he deliberately survived and joined the Demon King's army.

The Mages who were in charge of the Pioneer Kingdom died by the emperor, and the new leader took them to the Imperial Palace.

“I see. The advantage of being human is that you can move among humans. Did they come to the Emperor thanks to you? ”

“That's right.”

I finished talking about the rest of Balin's positive light.

We extract information from vampires, and then Silon loses, and everyone's retreating.

“So, you stayed here because you were vague about going to the land of the Mages. ”

“That's right.”

Duke Abel has heard very interesting stories of Balin.

The identity of the vampires, their backs, and the presence of the Demon Prince against them! There was nothing that didn't surprise me one by one.

However, as I listened to all of this, there was a question that grew. Duke Abel pulls it out of his mouth.

“Then you're still the Demon King's army, and you must be my enemy, the vampire. Why are you telling me this?" ”

The Duke is an Imperial Vampire who went to the Imperial family and paid for his own gold.

The pope must have died, too. It was Schwein's plan to need a new talent to replace him.

Thanks to this, Duke Abel became a member of the Emperor's household and was therefore not controlled by Schwein and Eilan.

But vampires should definitely be enemies with the Demon King.

If Balin is truly the devil's man, there's no reason to tell him this.

“Because I could no longer see the duc deceiving me. Duke Abel, you are being abandoned by two vampires. ”

“Fooled me? ”

“Yes, Duke. ”

In Valine's words, Duke Abel recalls what he heard earlier.

Valine, who avoided her spear, said that two vampires were intentionally less powerful.

“Why do you think that is? ”

“You just have to think about it a little bit. I heard two vampires say it's hard to control you, and I'm sure it won't be hard knowing what you're up to. ”

“This plan...? You're gonna move between us and make both Valine and Leven into family? How did you...”

Duke Abel forgot to mention that he was excited.

Opportunity to fight Leven! Rather, I wanted to volunteer from this side, but he was the one who thought it was going well.

However, after hearing Balin's words, the thought had to change.

“Duke, you are not a Grandmaster at the moment, and your opponent, Representative Leven, is an absolute one-on-one defeat of the complete Grandmaster, Silon. Even if you have support, it's not enough. You know the difference between a sodmaster and a grandmaster. ”

“... which means... ”

“Maybe I'll just throw Duke Abel away for once. I think that's what it means. I'm telling you, I think it's going to flow that way. ”

As Valine retreats, Duke Abel looks at his face.

The slightly smiling face did not reveal itself easily, but the duc's sharp senses quickly determined whether Valine's words were true.

‘You're not lying. Then they really lied to me? ’

At the beginning, Schwein and Eilan said that not being a Grandmaster was the limit of power.

No matter how much gold you have, it will not allow you to breach the Grand Master's walls.

But what if it was a trick that scared him, and that's why he stayed in the Sodmaster?

The question that arose once only grew thick. Especially since he was a peacock surrounded by inferiority.

"You bastards...! ’

An enormous amount of Mana flows through the duc's body, shuffling it.

He believed in them and gave up everything he had when he was human.

But they were scamming themselves to use and abandon them.

If that were true, he would never forgive them.

I will tear every last one of your limbs to pieces!

Duke Abel's furious eyes meet Valine for a moment.

Balin has a somewhat satisfied yet frightened appearance of a common human wizard.

At that moment, his brain spun violently. Taking all the facts that we don't know so far, one question comes up.

‘Wait, he's a figure of the Demon Prince. Surely the Demon King's army is hostile to vampires, so what guarantee do we have that they won't break between me and the two vampires? ’

Once I doubted it, my anger suddenly subsided.

If he were a feisty man, he wouldn't have thought of anything.

But he did it. The Grand Master's half-awake superhuman soothes his anger.

Doubt filling that position instead! A suspicion about this man, called Cleaden, arose.

‘Apparently, I heard earlier that you were the tower master of the Pioneer Kingdom. ’

I already know the story of Balin Theodore. The whole of Pioneer Kingdom could not help but flow into the Cadim Empire.

However, we do not know the details of the inner sanctuary.

All the Duke knows is that Clyden, a six-class master wizard, was chased away by Balin.

When I thought about it, I felt a cold sweat on my back. I almost fooled even the vampires who fulfilled their contract by deceiving the Demon King.

Duke Abel reaches out to the spear, sneaking his hands.

Weapon Control, one of the unique abilities he gained with the Golden Blood, was able to manipulate his weapon wherever it was.

“Of course the duc suspects me. Isn't that right?”

“Hmm?"

The hand of Duke Abel, who was just about to retrieve the spear, stops.

It's because Balin predicted his inner self exactly as if he had waited.

“No surprise there. With my mouth I declared the Horseman's claw, and I also told him that the Demon Lord and the Vampires are hostile, so it doesn't make sense. ”

“... You weren't an idiot at all. ”

Being immersed in your logic is one way of proving you're an outside-looking idiot.

The duc looks like he wants you to explain something to him.

“But, Duke, the truth is that you are being exploited and used as a discard. And I can't watch you do that! ”

“What do you see and believe? ”

It was the agent who persuaded the duc that the suspicion had already been raised.

To gain his trust in this situation, he had to give clear evidence or symptoms to break the doubt.

Harder than suspicion! Duke Abel senses a heartbeat in what Valine has to say.

And Balin did not disappoint the duc either.

“If you can prove my sincerity, I have five days left before Representative Leven and the Duke are scheduled to play. I'll use my hands to keep Leven's coffin from coming out. Will you trust me on this? ”

“... to replace Leven? ”

Duke Abel blinks in surprise.

As I've heard before, Leven's skills are already in the Grand Master.

Moreover, winning Silon made me confident that I had reached a fairly distant stage.

Anger works in her mind, but her strength cannot hide the truth.

However, when I thought it was possible to use my hands to keep such a person out of the game, I shook my head on both sides.

“Yes, I will not allow you to leave the Duchess of Leven. Believe me when I tell you that on the day of the competition. After that, it's up to you. You can go to the Demon Lord, you can go to freedom, you can continue to be loyal to vampires. ”

“...... ”

Duke Abel says nothing.

In his mind, his feelings for Leven and the words he just heard were swirling together.

If this man is wrong, he will face Leben in the semi-final arena.

My hands trembled at the moment I was waiting for.

At the same time, the other idea I had was about the man in front of me, Balin.

Why is this man so desperate to convince himself that he's the Demon King?

He quietly opens his mouth and asks.

“Then let me ask you one question before I accept the offer. ”

“Of course.”

The duc Abel sucks an empty bottle out of his mouth and says,

“If what you say is true, why are you so determined to do it for me? Why would you do that? ”

“... texture. ”

“What?"

The next moment, I heard a voice.

I couldn't even hear it correctly from Duke Abel's sense of nearness.

The duc couldn't help but raise his hand to say it again.

“I felt a sense of compassion. Dear Duke.”

“To me...? Compassion, what do you mean? ”

“It's the compassion of people who are not talented. You and I are a lot alike. I struggle in front of the intense light, but eventually I'm forced to be pushed away. because of their compassion for it. ”

The moment I heard about it, Duke Abel's eyes relaxed.

What he knows about Cleaden is a rough outline and circumstance.

But not a lot of people realize what Clyden was up to.

"Oh, yeah, me or you? ’

The Duke's suspicions were clouded by the compassion only those who had experienced it.

Once the suspicion was broken down, through the gap, the feeling of inferiority and anger rose again.

If there's nothing to stop it, it'll get worse this time, and it won't get weaker.

“... did Eilan tell you he was sending someone later on about the implementation of the plan? ”

“Yes. I don't know if I'll be here until then. ”

“Got it. Go ahead. I'll decide when you're right. ”

After speaking, Duke Abel turns away.

Already, he seems to have decided to take Balin's word for it.

"... Schwein... Eilan..."

I could tell by the sound of his voice that was repeating the names of the two vampires.

However, he made the mistake of ignoring one thing while being stuck in his thoughts.

A mistake is that you didn't look to the end for Balin to leave the mansion.

A sudden smile appeared on Balin's face as she walked out the door.

A very fresh new smile.

This is the last episode of the day. I can sleep an hour earlier than yesterday. It's so cool.

Anyway, thank you so much for coming to this side and reading. Today is another glorious day to see you in the review section.

I'll leave today for tomorrow, the fireworks are endless.

I'll post the next one at 0: 00 and in the morning. Thank you for reading.

p.s Answer one question.

Palias is a human talent. Yeah, she's talented.

And what Lennon did with his finger was to provoke the body of the dragon that was in Leven's body.

Regarding the last heart ether, I can tell you that the ether was changed to Divine Power during resurrection.

Instead of Mana, it's full of sacred power. So we can't do polymorphism or decree or methodology or magic.

That's it. Have a nice day!
