The wise man returns

Semi-finals

The day after Balin arrived at the Diamond Tower, the second round of the semi-finals was fortunately implemented without any action taken.

It's because the shield and the training ground have been reinforced in advance that it doesn't take much longer to repair than I thought.

But at the beginning of the game, Leven did not show up.

When that happened, I was eager for the articles to be assembled to host.

“What? Representative Leven hasn't arrived yet?! Find it! What does the Holy See say? ”

“Well, well. They don't know anything about Representative Leven's past...”

According to Suu Kyi, the knight commander froze his feet.

It was an unworthy precaution for the Imperial Knight Captain of the Cadim Empire, but it was not flattering.

“Nonsense! How can the Holy Father not manage one of his own deputies? Let's move! Search the Holy See and find them! ”

“Yes, yes! ”

The knights in heavy armor rush out of the Ur Stadium. It became a distance between the blink of an eye to see if I had all my strength.

As usual, they should all be escorting the Emperor.

Those knights belong to the Cadim Federal Imperial Crisis Squad!

All anyone needs to hear is the world's greatest knights.

“Ha.”

I was anxious for one of those articles. The absence of Leven was such a big incident.

“Oh, no... if we lose this game...”

The unfinished head of the Knight Captain looks across the hall.

Where Leben's opponent, Changsoo Ryden, waits.

According to a report I heard this morning, Ryden has been here since dawn.

I can imagine how enthusiastic he is about this fight.

“Phew...”

The knight commander, who was thinking about the afterstorm, sighed exhaustingly.

I, too, personally, was very excited about this match.

He is an unmanned man who prides himself on being a Sword Master.

If you don't want to see the duel between the two Grandmasters, you're lying.

But more than that, I was worried about what Ryden would do, and the rush of the nobles and commoners watching the game.

“Master! I've finished searching the inside of the Holy See! ”

“So! What happened?! ”

Chief of staff in blue in his report. But it was also a moment until his face became distorted.

“What! It's not there either! Find it! Search the entire Imperial Circle! ”

The knights are in a hurry as Noho bursts out.

As time went on, Leven, who the knights were looking for, was humming his nostrils.

Unlike a rowdy stadium, it's never been more relaxing.

The Balin next to her seemed so relaxed that she felt even more anxious.

“Hmm.”

“What's the matter? Ball?”

Leven, sitting side-by-side on the bench, smiles lightly and asks a question.

The two were a small park on the street of the wealthy.

Usually, it was full of children and noblewomen, so there was no laughter to be had as quiet as today.

Thanks to today's semi-finals.

The entire Imperial family naturally became incredibly calm as people were driven to every stadium.

“No, it's just that I'm resting like this. ”

“You haven't rested in a while, so you're not used to it? ”

Leven, who was next to him, puts his hand on his shoulder, saying so.

The body of Balin, who was about to dry, suddenly flinches. When I felt familiar for a moment, I reacted by myself.

After finishing the gap, Leven reaches out his hand and begins to saddle.

“Look, even if you move Mana, the Mana itself brings you together like this. ”

“Huff! Hmmm... Hmmm...”

Every time I touched a light touch, a cool sensation spread over my shoulder.

The body that was full of Mana was tense and relaxed.

The masses also went down along the spine of the back as well as the shoulder.

I suddenly remembered Balin, who was warming up to the cool feeling.

“I'm very familiar with this feeling. Did Sonya teach you that? ”

“Sonya?”

“Yes, it's very similar to how I used to feel when I fell asleep in the stadium. ”

The freshness I felt the next day when I first went to Duke Abel.

At that time, I was curious because I felt the same coolness.

“That's me. Valine.”

“... Huh? ”

Of course, Balin was surprised that he was right.

It's because I never imagined that Leven would have touched his body from the start.

Nevertheless, Leven continued to speak as if it were nothing.

“He was very tired at the time, so he touched it right away. I could never see my loved ones sniffing because of nightmares. ”

“... ”

Revealing his emotions, Leven came to a very different sensation than before.

Balin struggles to clear his throat and turns the subject to the other side.

“By the way, I hear you... awakened something. ”

“Yes, perhaps as a Grandmaster, I have expanded my acceptance of divinity. ”

“God... yes. God is the only one with that kind of power. ”

When you're finished, Leven bows slightly and apologizes.

With Balin knowing the exact reason, I thought my mouth would be tired to death.

I've already told Lennon she's a dragon, but getting it out of here is suicide.

If you ask me where I heard it, I have no way to explain it to you as Balin.

“And you don't feel... uncomfortable, wanting to take off your clothes or your clothes or anything? ”

“There's no such thing. I think I got used to having a fever. ”

Leven answered without a question.

But the content led to more questions for Balin.

Clearly, Lennon said she would become a dragon or something more.

Then, of course, it would have to look like a dragon, but that's not how it looks to Leven now.

‘Actually, Lennon was the last visitor, and even if he asked the Pope, he wouldn't know. There's very little food left for dragons... "

Dragons are known to have been extinct a thousand years ago.

The reality is that there's very little food or information about them.

It could be an Imperial Palace Library or an ancient ruin, but there's nothing about it in my previous life's experience.

Then all that's left is to find out from your own experiments.

Valine's gaze sweeps Leven from head to toe.

There are several ways to experiment, but mostly blood is drawn and chopped off. In other words, killing subjects is used a lot.

You did that to Leven? Suddenly, my body trembled by itself.

Before he could not, Leven himself would strongly resist, and if he were a Grandmaster-class figure, it was almost impossible to stop him.

‘Of course, if we were in this state, I'd give you everything I've asked for... but that's a bunch of crap that's tearing the fort down to get a rat. ’

“Then let's go. ”

When I finished thinking, Balin wakes up.

There were still a lot of places I decided to look around instead of going out there.

I thought I'd have to work hard to see them all in one day.

Moreover, I wanted to avoid the soldiers that are scattered around me.

On that day, Balin and Leven saw all the sights of the Imperial family.

I played a simple game of water in a large river near the Huangdo province, and played around in the quiet streets.

It was like a date with ordinary lovers.

But Valine doesn't act like she's playing. She asks Leven about something.

Success! Leven, whose point of view had changed, answered Valine's question straightaway.

In addition to the formulas of Manassan's mind so far, it is also related to sword or body movements in a moment.

Thanks to this, Valine got many new answers.

Among them was the idea of developing a goat-shaped necklace that had been rotting.

Occasionally, soldiers search the entire province, and each time, avoiding it adds some tension.

Between Balin and Leven, the stadium was breathtaking.

This is because Duke Abel, standing alone on the training ground, has unleashed a terrifying life.

“Well, you know... this is...”

“One more word and I'll cut that throat. Shut up."

To the host who was about to make a declaration of defeat, Duke Abel just took it out and shut his mouth.

It was an act of absolute dominance, but no one in the field dared point it out to him.

The life coming out of the duc's body waiting for the arena was so great that it overwhelmed tens of thousands of spectators all over the arena.

“I... have to... finish...”

Much less than that, Bird of Kratan cautiously speaks.

He was a well-known figure in the social world, but he didn't look that cool because he was sweating.

“I'll end it. You stay put. Puppet.”

An eerie glare sprays from Duke Abel as he looks back. There, overwhelmed by Kratan stumbles.

At the beginning, Baron Kratan was just a puppet.

But now, everyone is watching. It means it's okay to listen to what Birkhoff Kratan has to say.

However, Duke Abel has just publicly ignored the bird of Kratan.

This is why there could be no more nobles to follow the birthdays of Kratan.

“Hee, hee. ”

The horrified bird, Kratan, takes a step back, foaming at you.

Seeing the dampness between his legs, it looks like he didn't just pull out a bubble.

The only hope we have now is that the soldiers who move to the Imperial City will bring Leven.

But everyone had some notion that it couldn't be done.

Despite everyone's silence, there was a sunset over the blue sky.

Every day is gone.

“Time...”

“It's over...? ”

Even though the host did not speak, the audience gradually grew louder.

Meanwhile, Duke Abel bows his head without saying a word.

This time, the moderator did not hesitate to make a declaration of defeat.

“Round 2 of the Emperor's Quarterfinals! The winner is Lyden, the author of Kratan! Earl Minarva will be withdrawn automatically, as Representative Leven has not arrived! ”

“... ”

The Duke of Abel remains motionless on the battlefield despite the end of the Declaration.

The life that had been smoking from day to day disappeared, but he lowered his head so that no one could see his face.

As the crowds depart, Schwein, who was watching from the height of the Colosseum, told Eiran next door.

“Go back and prepare immediately. ”

“Prepare"? Ready for what? ”

Eilan reacts with a puzzling look.

The atmosphere suggests that it is not a preparation for the plan, because there is nothing else I can feel.

However, when she heard Schwein's answer, she reacted with an unparalleled intensity.

“I'm ready to go back. Operation abort. We're going back to the North Tra Empire. ”

“What-oh-oh!? ”

The screaming voice of Eilan echoes.

It's a good idea to put a silence on the curtain around the two seats beforehand. At last, Eilan's voice almost leaks out.

Thank you for reading. The last episode will be in the morning.

Apparently, it was today, and yesterday, Second Chance stopped playing.

Maybe that's why my readers are so worried about me.

I was impressed.

Don't worry, everyone. Daehyun is safe to return!

Fun... I'll do my best. We would appreciate it if you could give us one recommendation instead.

But... it's over 200 bucks now. I didn't know... Thank you for congratulating me.
