The wise man returns

After the semifinals of Balin and Penzance, all the sounds within the Diamond Tower die.

From the Elder Wizard to the Apprentice Apprentice, no one opened their mouths.

No one forced the silence, but everyone who heard the result fell into extreme depression.

Defeated by Penzance! You have failed the Diamond Tower Tournament!

Both of these news alone are full of garages, and it is extremely unlikely that even the Class S artifacts that were stored in the tower during the game were destroyed.

Hearing the news, all the wizards of the Diamond Tower mourned unhappily.

Class S artifacts each have the power to change the world.

Losing it could have been a bigger hit than Penzance's title disappearing.

The glory of the past was no longer found in the lost Diamond Tower, as well as down to its strongest position.

So the next day, the visit to Balin was enough to surprise everyone in the Diamond Tower.

“This, this... this!!! ”

The elderly wizards, who saw the staff on the table, shook their eyes like hermit crabs and trembled.

A little more shocked, and I felt like I was going to die in shock.

Balin shakes her hand lightly and bows.

“I'm sorry. I tried to get as many artifacts out as I could, but I thought something bigger might happen to Mr. Penzance." ”

“No, it's... it's really...”

“That's right. Class S artifact magic staff. Check if it's genuine or not. ”

When he finishes speaking, Balin gives me a hand.

When in doubt, it meant to activate the Minerals by touching them yourself.

A few elders exchange their eyes and grab the staff with trembling hands.

Woof.

At that moment, the staff's helix coiled and represented its shape.

The shape of the mana line, and the powerful power contained in it, must have been genuine.

“Thank you. Thank you very much. Balin Undertaking.”

“I did what we couldn't... I'm so sorry! ”

“Uuuhhh!! ”

The slave wizards, who confirmed that it was not a trick, all fell down in tears.

How many of the seven classes of Grand Wizards were there, so the worn side felt burdensome.

‘I'm glad you've had this experience in your past life. If I didn't remember that, I would've been on trend. ’

He was the greatest Grand Wizard of his life. With the power to pioneer new magical landscapes and earn the title of Wise Man!

It was a habit to receive examples from other wizards. Thanks to this, I was able to accept this more naturally than I thought.

Balin smiles lightly and raises the slave sorcerers.

“Of course I returned what I had to return. What do you mean you can't? I've never heard of anything. Please be relieved. ”

“Hrrrgh!! ”

“Ugh... Ugh..."

No matter how hard I tried, the weeping of the slave wizards only got worse.

It felt like I was seeing a child.

It was only after Balin had said a joke that they could stop crying.

“If you keep doing that, will you take this staff back in return for what you tried to do? ”

“Huff!!! ”

“Ahem! Ahem! ”

The slave wizards who heard the threat stopped crying like liars.

No matter how much tears come out of your eyes, you can't take away the staff you've been looking for.

I know it's a joke, but I was in a hurry as soon as a Class S artifact appeared. Valine smiles at the silent wizards.

“Where is Lord Penzance, by the way? ”

“Oh, forgive me. The high lord hasn't regained consciousness since he collapsed yesterday. ”

As expected, Valine nods briefly.

He is a savior who came to return a Class S artifact. Penzance should have come out himself.

That's why I felt something had happened since the elder wizards came out instead.

I already know what the symptoms are, and I already know why.

“Do you mind if I take a look at Mr. Penzance? ”

“Hmm?"

“Well... yes. ”

The old wizards let me off easy for a while.

Anyway, Balin is now a savior of the Diamond Tower.

Penzance's protection was fine, but if he refused to accept it, he had no idea what further insults would come from it.

“I'm very sorry about the other artifacts being destroyed. ”

On the way up to the tower, Balin lightly passes a note up.

Light was desired to be hidden from the Magical Staff, but the other artifacts equipped by Penzans were also extremely expensive to lose.

I don't know, but if I could get what Penzance ate, I'd be able to buy Valine's territory.

“I can't help it. But thanks to Valine, we were able to recover the magic staff. ”

The old wizard sniffed again, linking the horse with his earning eyes.

I calmed it down as much as I could, and it felt like I was touching disgust.

If I hadn't arrived at the top floor, I would have really cried.

“We're here. Here. ”

“Hmmm...”

The wizards groan as they lay on their beds.

“As you can see, there's no trauma, and I can't feel any Mana on my body. He's still unconscious...”

“It's simple. ”

Balin walks without hesitation and grabs Penzance's hand.

It was so natural that all the slave wizards could not say anything.

Ugh.

The hand-held Balin nods softly. I was confident because I knew about the magic staff.

“Please wait a moment. ”

When you're finished, Valine focuses on Mana at her fingertips.

The runaway Mana flows straight into Penzance's heart and begins to move.

Muscles. Muscles.

There were trace amounts of manna, but it was not too hard to move the Mana Circle.

Shhh.

Penzance's Mana Circle is completely empty. All it took to move it back was a handful.

‘It's simple enough to know. Everyone can think. ’

The Magical Staff pulls out all of the user's Mana during the minting process.

So the person who finished it hardened it this way, and the way to fix it was to blow a little Mana.

It is a simple, unpaired solution, but on the contrary, it is a solution that no one has thought of.

“Ugh… umm. ”

“High Lord! Penzance! ”

“Are you awake!? Look at my eyes! Lord!”

As a small groan erupted, the labor sorcerers became feverish and rushed to bed.

I felt like it would get worse if I just let it go. As he gently walked in between them, he spread his arms wide.

“Wait. The Lord of Penzance is having a hard time racing like that. ”

“Oh, dear...”

The faces of the labourers who realized the trend blurred.

Meanwhile, Penzance suddenly regained consciousness and looked around.

“This... is my room. How do you... oh, Balin? Did I lose to you? ”

He had no recollection since he fell, and the situation was strange to him now.

Balin slowly told me what had happened during the day.

“Haha, I see. So now the best wizard is you, not me. ”

Surprisingly, Penzance accepted his defeat without much shock.

Technically, you were defeated by the Oracle Blade, but there was something extraordinary you could have done.

“It makes sense to say no to the offer you made earlier. You're old enough to beat me, so you can't be told to come in as my apprentice. ”

“Your compliments. ”

Balin has always been humble.

After great skill, Penzance has supported a long wizarding society.

Balin was very aware of how important the experience was.

I was confident that no one would understand as well as I did, since I had lived a single life and returned.

“Haha, you don't have to duck too much. If you have the best title, you have to show them the right gait for the best. ”

Penzance bursts into a big smile as if he was satisfied with the look of Balin.

I couldn't find the bitterness of defeat anywhere when I was talking about the weight of the strongest place.

When the story is over, Balin steps out of the Diamond Tower for a generous ride.

“Be careful in there! ”

“Thank you. This day will go on forever in the history of the Horse Tower that I truly saw! ”

The elder labourers take a heavy step and escort Balin to the entrance of the tower.

If you think about what kind of identity they were, it was really great.

“Penzance is still recovering... He asked me to tell you how sorry he is for not coming out in person. ”

“It's okay. Take a few deep breaths and fill it up with empty Mana, and you'll feel better soon. ”

“Yes.”

Balin always smiled at the servants and treated the slavers.

It was obvious not to see what it looked like to the young wizards.

Two young wizards walking through the garden were having a conversation on this side.

“That's the boy who beat Penzance. What's he doing here? To mock?”

“Idiot, he's here because he has to return a Class S artifact. Don't talk nonsense. ”

“What?! Class S artifact!! ”

Rumors have spread to the common wizards.

Valine's value is already rising beyond imagination among nobles.

What happens if you change your attitude to the Diamond Tower, which you hated him for?

The Holy See, the nobles, and the steeple. In Balin, it was like having wings.

‘Sgrade artifacts are not a waste, but you don't have to have something that you can't even use properly. ’

It was comfortable to think of it as an investment in the future. The support of the Diamond Tower will undoubtedly be tremendous when the next tower system is broken.

“Great Wizard of Windeln. I'm ready."

“Oh, yeah. You're just in time. ”

I heard a different voice in the ears of the two who were talking about things.

A handful of the wizards of the Tower of Diamonds are gathered in front of you.

The old man smiles, checking the boxes behind him.

“Is this...? ”

“A small gift. I'm here to congratulate you on becoming the most powerful wizard of all, and I must repay you for your generosity. ”

“Hmm.”

Balin inhales lightly and sweeps through the crates.

Those chins on the back of the cart seemed to be of great value at first glance.

“This is...”

“A few artifacts from this tower. and a little bit of valuable Mana Seok and a little bit of gold and silver. It's nothing compared to the Magical Staff, but you'll like the fact that we've only selected the best pieces for artifacts of Class A or higher. ”

“Hmm…”

Balin glances at the crates behind the wagon.

I don't know what's in them, but they all look pretty heavy.

“I'll send you to where you're staying, or I'll take you to Ruby Tower. Do whatever you want. ”

“Then I'll take you to Ruby Tower. ”

Choose between an inn and a Ruby Tower.

There was also a storage problem, and it was a hassle for many reasons to pack this barley and go back later.

“Then I'll pass on the details to Lord Elia. Thank you again. Cheer up against the finals. ”

“The hopes of wizards... I'll work hard. I have to defend the title of" The Greatest Wizard. "”

“Ahhhhh!! ”

The Laborer bursts out a cheerful smile in Balin's reply.

The mere sight of how the Diamond Tower's perception has changed.

Thanks for reading. We'll be right back.

There are a lot of concerns about rapid completion or mid-year. But don't worry.

You've come a long way to do that.

See you on the next page.
