The wise man returns

“Hmm.”

“This way.”

The knights are sitting around the backyard, with dozens of priests standing in that outfit in the middle.

Dozens of muscle-bound people were in a rebellious state, not that it was hard to accept in many ways.

Balin sighs and sits vacant.

I heard some about the victory ceremony on the way.

So I was able to anticipate to some extent what would happen in the future.

“Looks like everyone's here, so I'll get started. ”

The parish chief came forward and spoke. He was wearing white pants, too.

And the next moment, he plunges into the circle with his bare fists.

“Ahhhh - Ahh! ”

The next one is a full-body brawl. It was a real fight between men with sweat and muscle knots.

The synagogues wielded their fists with all their strength without distinguishing between rank and position.

Each time, my breasts and back muscles were pounding like freshly rescued fish.

The wounded are eager to escape, but each time, the sacred power inside the circle shifts.

Thanks to this, the synagogues continued to fight unscathed.

Either he lost his mind in a fight like that, or he was pushed out of the circle. As long as there is one last person left, it is the person who recites the sermon and delivers the Holy Water to all.

“Huff!”

“Huff!”

The moment I wanted to move a little, the priest of the three girls bounced out of the circle.

It had only just begun, but already more than ten people had fallen out.

Considering that there were about eighty of them, they were quite faster than expected.

“Huh? Huh? ”

“It's too soon this time...? ”

You hear a voice of panic on both sides at the same time. The ritual seemed to end surprisingly quickly for the knights.

"From what I've seen before, they all seem to have a knack for fighting. What the hell...?" ’

If the speed is suddenly accelerating, the reason is simple.

One of them suddenly had a high growth rate, or someone stronger was overwhelming. It was either.

And I was able to see that Balin was the latter case.

‘... why is Leven there? ’

As the synagogues continued to push forward, the rest of the people began to appear gradually.

Among them was the girl who pushed away the muscular penises.

You can see the belly button underneath your shorts for easy movement. The black head that flew over it must have been Leven.

“What?! ”

The knight next door said to me, heading towards Surprise Balin.

“Charlotte is also a priest. Apparently, she wanted to participate voluntarily. You're right. ”

“I see.”

When Balin heard the answer, she sighed and turned her gaze away.

It was unexpected, but not unconvincing.

Clearly, the fighting skills of the kidneys in front of us have reached quite a high level.

To put it mildly, Leben was overwhelming, but the martial arts created by the unique environment called the Great Wall were worth learning.

That's why Leven hides his skills and blends in.

While I was thinking, there were only two substitutes and Leven left.

His fighting skills were incredibly sophisticated. The purely martial arts landscape has already reached the level of the Swordmaster.

The practical experience you gained in the battle with the Horses was overlaid over a stable statute of scripture.

If the common Monks are defensive shields, the Grand Duchess will put thorns on them.

No matter how talented Leven was as a dragon, it wasn't worth it all at once.

But Valine looks at it and shakes her head.

‘That's definitely powerful... but it's also a subordinate of Palias. ’

Comb the flow over a firm foundation.

It was so similar to the sword that Palias used in his previous life.

The sword of all currents used by Balin has taken advantage of many swords.

One of them is as clear as the sword of Palias.

that you have nothing to gain from this fight.

But Balin watched the game to the end.

Not for himself, but for sure, Leven can get something.

Palias is a different sword from his former life. It has evolved and has grown independently in the fight against numerous enemies.

Even if you try to pass it on in person, you can no longer find the original sword of Palia.

That's why Valine expects Leven to grow even more through this duel.

“Tsh, tsh!”

“Huff! Huff! ”

At that moment, Leven's attack pushes the coffin out of the circle.

Until now, it has been a fair battle because it deliberately hit the sacred power.

However, this time, pushing the coffin away is not a force, it's a skill.

Boom!

The power of the sacred fist increases with the rotational force.

That was definitely the application of spear technology used by Duke Abel.

“Oh.”

“Hmph!”

The paladins who were watching also vomited.

“Whew...”

“That's a good battle. I never thought I'd have the skills to penetrate my defenses in a similar direction. I'll get right on it. ”

“I think I learned a good thing. Can I count on you a little bit more? ”

In Leben's question, the successor gladly accepted.

Balin suddenly wonders how she would react if she knew the famous Leven in front of her eyes.

‘You must have fallen unconscious. It doesn't matter to me.'

It was an infinite honor to teach the Grandmaster martial arts.

Meanwhile, Leven will go even deeper. That was win-win for each other.

“Here we go, then. Chancellor, holy water. ”

“Yes.”

Now that the last person has been chosen, it is time to be blessed.

As the synagogues retreated, the knights stood up, and Leven returned the holy water to each of them with a blessing.

“Thank you and blessings in the future. ”

“Blessings.”

Paladins greeting in a devout manner, especially the Duke of Ketil at the front, received holy water in a more serious atmosphere than anyone else.

‘Maybe it's because this is the place to celebrate the return of the next hunt at the same time as a thank you. ’

The old Balin kicked his tongue without even knowing it.

The more I thought about it, the more distressed the Cadim Empire became.

He's surrounded by people like Andropos, Leven, and Sonya, and the Empire's got this kind of talent lying around, which makes no sense.

Of course, they're not inferior. The problem was toughness.

"If only I had a man like that... I really..."

“Here you go."

“Uh, yeah. ”

Balin regains consciousness to the Holy Water in front of her eyes.

Suddenly, it was his turn.

“... ”

“... drink. ”

A solid tone that is completely different from others!

There was no such thing as a common blessing.

“But first... shouldn't we say the blessing of God or something? ”

“You said sorcerer?”

Leven says that and giggles.

When Balin fell asleep, she got holy water while kicking her tongue.

The holy water from the Great Wall was cool and tasty, but it was somewhat angry.

* * *

After the ceremony, Duke Ketil told them he would not bother them anymore.

I felt sorry for the surface reasons, but I knew the inside.

“Looks like scouts are coming. Seeing all this commotion. ”

Balin looked out the window and muttered.

Beyond the window, the entire force is on the move.

All troops are desperate to get even more supplies and budgets.

“Load as much supplies as you can, such as rations and arrows! All hands to forward fort! ”

“Trading of Horse Byproducts is restricted to authorized items only until the end of scouting! In the meantime, if someone else makes a deal, they'll punish you under state law. ”

Hide as much supplies as possible and hide anything that goes against the law.

In doing so, there is no supply on the surface, but the combat strength makes them appear to be stronger than anyone else.

We are so strong! But without supplies, we'll be breached in no time!

Pressure the opponent by appealing to it. The officer who is bewildered by the horrors of the Horses will be stunned from that moment on.

If someone is too difficult to check the supplies, show them to the forward fort and raise your hands.

A few carrots for a dead officer like that.

The panels were probably finished with nothing but canned gold or jewelry in the mountain mines.

“Excited. Excited. ”

Balin raises his head.

Now he was completely alone.

Duke Ketil is busy preparing for his scouting, and Leven is now having fun getting into and out of the war instead of the parish.

Exactly how they fight! If so, it could show even more complete movements.

Even if Valine is in the same position right now.

“I don't know where the hell Lennon is hiding my body, by the way. Did he really cheat and run away? ”

In the meantime, all the nearby peaks have been searched, but no sign of Three-Lenon.

It seemed to be hidden deep in the deep simian oil field somewhere.

Hard work compared to the reward of a dead dragon.

But I couldn't help but get annoyed by the long schedule.

Balin heads back to the mausoleum for a moment to relax, and continues to meditate.

- It's been a while, but your face is pretty burnt, so it must be because you were in the south.

After meditating once, Katua greets you.

Then Balin, who had looked around my body, finally had a taste.

I found a fairly burnt skin like before.

“That's odd. It was covered in clouds of dark mana 24 hours a day. ”

- No matter how powerful the Mana of Darkness is, it doesn't stop all light. Maybe that's why his weight has changed so much.

After finishing his speech, Katua turns around and sits next to Valine.

They must have been burning quite a bit, even if not expressed.

I guess I'm done meditating. Balin told me what had happened for a week without hesitation.

- So that's what happened to the South. That's how the Horsemen...

“The Mages are swarming. I think I'm close to 10,000, but I can't stop...”

-Maybe most of them are monsters consumed by the dark Mana. If you say so, the true Demon King's army will be deep in the Black Ground.

Katua's thoughts were exactly right. From that point of view, the Demon King didn't even resurrect, but there was no reason to liberate the army.

Especially if two of the ducs were smashed.

Balin suddenly came up with an idea.

“Hey, Katua. Can I ask you about dragons? ”

- About the Great One?

“There's a great man I brought as a friend. I thought it would be good to know about dragons since he's a dragon. ”

-... well, do it.

Katua nodding her head.

Balin brings out his curiosity, as if he was waiting.

“Hey, do dragons come here and get buried when they die? Automatically teleported?”

- You insolent bastard!!

Of course, Katua was immediately furious and raised her voice.

It was reasonable to ask questions for a friend and to ask questions about death.

But Valine did not panic, but spoke.

“It's not like that. Soon we'll be fighting the Demon Prince, and I just want to be there in case. ”

- Huh. Bet on your Mana Circle and make a pact! I can't believe it!

“No, that's...”

Balin is secretly cold sweating.

I was looking for clues to find Lennon for no reason, but it was always shaped on the chain every day.

I didn't have to see what the promise was about. Maybe he's trying to keep Leven from dying for something other than natural history his whole life.

Escort Leven for the rest of his life. It was like living a nervous life all my life. I couldn't do that in a time when I didn't have enough magic to practice.

- Or is there another way?

“... that's...”

A hesitant thought came to mind in Balin's mind.

He takes a big breath and replies.

“Here's how. Why don't you come out and keep an eye on me, see if I did anything else? ”
