The wise man returns

The Black Ground refers to the land of the Horses south of the Great Wall and the Southern Mountains.

The area is unknown, but it is expected to be the same or slightly wider than the Cadim Empire.

It was not accurately measured. I didn't have the skills to do it, and I couldn't enter a place full of demons.

However, this was the result of collecting the testimony of the former literature and the sailors.

The land of the Cadim Empire is between 1/4 and 1/3 of the world today.

Including the Northtra Empire is only one-fifth the size.

That much land was eroded by the darkness of the Demons.

No matter how long they scoured the land, they could not purify it.

This hunt is only for a week. Since the total time had decreased to less than a quarter, I didn't even want to go deeper.

Nevertheless, the loot piled up on the horses' backs was unimaginable.

Balin vomited amazement.

“This is it? ”

“I could have taken more, but I couldn't. ”

The previous knight smiled and replied. His words faltered, unable to overcome the weight of his back.

This is about the same as my usual performance. The knight who said that swept away the chunky sack.

Inside the sack was a unique herb that can only be seen on the Black Ground and on all the corpses of the Horsemen.

They all come back with supplies and salaries. I had to treat each one preciously.

“The Black Ground is no more dangerous than I thought. ”

Balin, who was riding the horse in front of him, smiled and said. It was a kind of irony.

It's only been a week, but the procession has fought nearly a thousand battles in the past.

I could not keep watch for a moment, day or night. It's because the Horsemen move as soon as they relax.

Compared to this, the first day of marching into the Forward Fortress was almost a courtship.

“Huh. I see. ”

The knight who understood the meaning nodded and replied.

“But you and Charlotte kept everyone alive. It's a miracle. Thank you, Inbar. ”

In other times, there would have been a series of violent battles that would have been casualties.

In fact, during the struggle, injuries were drawn out, and some of them were just about to suffocate.

Even the Sword Master's Supreme Duke of Ketil cannot heal his wounds.

It was Valine and Leven that moved.

Balin rinses the wound with a Mana of water, and Leven breathes divine power into it to heal it.

The divine power that heals even the most chaotic amputations was quickly healed if the knights didn't die.

I was satisfied with the results, thanks to a little luck.

Zero warriors! Zero wounded! However, the loot won't be left behind for a month.

The whole procession could be pleased.

“I've been listening to this from day one. What?”

Valine, the star of the performance, scratched her head saying so.

It's because I've only been praising you for a week. The boundary that was standing one day was also somewhat depressed.

“So, are you really going back to your hometown? ”

“Yes.”

Balin answered without hesitation.

I hesitated a little, but I couldn't help but have a lot of work to do elsewhere.

‘We also need to resolve this conflict... which is something we can look at in the long run. ’

The army of the Great Wall is a force to stop the Demon King's army.

If the Demon Prince's army disappeared, he would return to the empire naturally, and it was clear that none of the central nobles could ignore them.

Ultimately, they are all connected to the Demon Prince. When Valine realized this, she rolled her tongue in her mouth.

Somehow, his work seemed to be tied up with the Demon Lord's army.

"If you defeat the Demon King, what do you do next?"

I had a lot to do as a wizard.

He brought knowledge of his past life through regression, but he found new paths beyond that.

Not only did I develop the unique abilities that the necklace gave me, but I didn't know if I could continue to perform more in the Eternal Tomb.

Pursue your own integrity.

Even if it is not a wizard, it is an unwanted end for all unarmed people.

Moreover, I had to deal with the Demon Lord's forces.

I don't know, but after defeating the Demon King, the problem won't be solved.

Every country that has ever been united against a common enemy will be scattered again.

If we don't know each other, we don't move because of fear.

But knowing each other through the union will not hesitate to swing the sword as much.

It was Valine's job to stop this. His share of the world was too large to just walk away.

‘What happened after that, I guess? ’

Somehow my belly button feels bigger than my stomach. But if I said this was a penalty for regression, I had nothing to say.

After the hunt, everyone on the wall was surprised.

First of all, it's a miracle everyone's okay without getting hurt.

And an unbelievable amount of loot from a week's worth of hunting!

“What the...”

Knights who speak in tongues that are more frightening than cheers.

Duke Kettle smiled and replied to them.

“Thanks to them. The two of them made hunting twice as easy! Let's take a little break today and get ready for tomorrow. ”

While the duc was talking, Valine tried to sneak out.

The hunt must be over, too.I 'm starting to find Lennon's body.

However, the movement was thoroughly prevented by the Duke of Ketil.

The Duke of Ketil is an excellent sorcerer.

As long as you don't become a Grandmaster like Leven, it's not a big deal.

The celebration was held solemnly by the members of the Knights involved in the hunt.

First, we go to the Temple of the Parish and thank Lord Layan, and then we eat and drink the food and drinks prepared by the Command.

Of course, the ritual involved the outsiders who helped hunt, Balin and Leven, as well.

“By the way, did Miss Charlotte belong to another parish temple? Which parish did you belong to? ”

“The Temple of the Pioneer Kingdom, of course. although it wasn't that big of a fat country. ”

In the Duke's question, Leven replied, "Of course not."

Since Balin and Leven are childhood friends, they fit together in the same way.

However, instead of nodding, the duc gave a vague look.

“Hmm. I'm sure it is. Then I'll tell you in advance. Maybe the priests here are a little unusual. But don't be surprised. They're very warm people. ”

“I'm even more curious to hear that. ”

Valine struggles to look you straight in the eye, beside the answering Leven.

But I couldn't help feeling anxious for some reason.

Strangely, the Duke of Ketil, who was just speaking, was somewhat uneasy.

‘Duke Ketil is trying hard to recruit me and Leven, so there's something bad about the temple he's going to. ’

Balin's head tilts at that moment, as he rides his horse.

It's a Temple of the Leian Cult, if anything else.

It's not as hostile to each other as the Horse Towers, but I can't think of a few reasons why the duc would do that.

No, there was one thing that came to mind first.

Are there too many patients? ’

Balin thought of a treatment center she had seen in her past life.

It's like a clinic in the back of a battlefield.

Lack of beds, dozens of soldiers and knights are brought in every second.

Most of the priests went out to fight, so all that was left was a bunch of apprentices and one official. They alone could not treat all patients even if they worked 24 hours.

Thanks to Valine's memory, hospitals and temples are always filled with patients around them.

I felt somewhat better as the time of life grew longer, but I naturally came back to it as I thought about it.

‘It may not be like the temples of a past life, but this place is also a great wall. ’

Balin takes a breath in advance. The hostile flesh and blood are already familiar, but you might find more here.

“Charlotte.”

“Huh?"

When Balin calls, Leven looks back quickly. He still covers his left cheek with one hand.

I wanted to say Moore, but now I have more important things than that.

“Be strong. I might see something worse than I thought. ”

You can never feel the horror of the battlefield alive unless you see it for yourself.

No matter how many Horses you eliminate, it's the same. The words just contained all of that realization.

“... Yes. ”

Leven blinks for a moment, then nods.

I can feel the weight of Balin speaking in a serious tone.

The leading part of the procession arrives at the Temple of the Great Wall as they speak.

The Temple of the Great Barrier Parish was a large rectangular building that looked three times larger than the others.

Thoroughly practical with big but colourful embellishment.

I looked around, and I was amazed at Leven.

“This place is huge. I don't think the Holy See is this big. ”

“The Holy See? Have you ever been to the Holy See? ”

When Duke Ketil asks, Leven nods.

Although it may seem suspicious, the duc didn't say much.

It was even weirder for a priest of her statue not to call me from the Holy See.

Maybe he gets one appointment from the Holy See and walks around as a free priest. Duke Ketil, who thought so, warns again.

“As I said before, I'll give you one more piece of advice. This place is a little unusual, so...”

“Welcome, Duke. I was waiting to hear that you won the hunt. ”

A man came out of the temple and greeted Duke Ketil.

The approximate image was a middle-aged man with normal curly hair, and he looked like an Imperial Library librarian just by looking at his face.

But looking down, Balin was stunned. It was the same with Leven.

“You haven't worn out your muscles today either, but what if you start sweating already? ”

“It's a readiness exercise, Duke. ”

After answering, the curly-haired man was surprisingly hostile to the upper body.

I still wore white trousers as if I were a synagogue, but I looked even more lewd because I was covered in sweat and dust.

“Tsk.”

Leven expressed his appreciation in a short sentence.

Fighters and mercenaries won't go around looking like that.

But watching this, Balin nodded and convinced.

It was not surprising to him that he expected a temple filled with blood and pus, and people rotting alive.

‘You have a lot of work to do, a lot of divine remedies to do, so you must be naturally strong. ’

Leian always unleashes divine power on the unscathed line of the congregation.

Therefore, individual training is essential to increase the Divine Strength.

The synagogues here were superior to anyone else in that regard.

Of course, the reactions will give you more stamina, and with them you'll be able to heal more injuries.

That muscle must have been the result of the act. It was nothing to be ashamed of or surprised about. Rather, it will be like a medal more beautiful than any medal.

“Come in. The banquet is being prepared and we'll get started right away. ”

After finishing speaking, the frizzy priest immediately turned around.

Following them, the hunting procession slowly walks into the temple.

Thank you for reading. This is the first episode of the day.

By the way, I stumbled across the Dungeon & Fighter Jeffrist illustration, and it really looked like Leven.

You might be able to use a large number of characters to get sleepy… hmm!

I'm joking.I 'll give you a recommendation before you go.
