The wise man returns

Soldier territory is said to be a mountain bone, but that's all ancient history now.

After Balin left for the capital, there was a wind of tremendous change here.

The empire troops who marched to subdue the Orcs scoured the entire Southern Great Mountains as they did, and the funds they received resurrected Soldier's territory.

The mountain village Balin knew was no longer here.

Instead, it's Soldier Castle, the resting place of the Southern Great Southern Guard.

It was a city full of games, performances, and entertainment.

Although it is the morning feast, there will be no problem even if you have a little fun as it is 24/7.

But Valine digs without even looking.

The cave in Bugbear where he had previously tied Castro.

It was once deep in the forest, but now it was opening up right before my eyes.

“Chuckle.”

“Balin! Did you find anything? ”

“That was fast! ”

Leven and Sonya, who followed them into the cave, were surprised.

It was worth it because the relaxation had just disappeared so suddenly.

“Over here. Let's go inside. ”

In front of the two surprises, Valine waves her hand toward one corner of the cave.

Suzus.

Ordinary walls and floors, or walls that float like waves when their hands touch them.

Consequences, that was also a tremendous level of deficit.

Without Force Search, I wouldn't even know there was a loophole here.

Aether gushes from Balin's breathing hand.

The Aether constitutes the Seal! You have to hit it with ether. If you try to use Mana, it will only sink into thin air.

As expected, as soon as the ether infiltrated, the seal disappeared like snow.

Instead, a tunnel appeared down there.

In the beginning, it seemed to be made to come in like this.

Balin's finger, which was just about to go down into the cave, suddenly aches like a needle.

“Tsk!”

I don't know what he did, but there was an enormous amount of cold in the cave.

Probably did it to preserve the body.

“... cold. ”

Sonia shudders as she feels the air coming out of the cave.

Leven felt cold, too. Leven, who lightly awakens his divine power, looks into the cave with his arms folded.

“It runs very deep. I don't know what's at the end...”

“I think I know. ”

Balin said so and took a confident step.

He believed in a shield made of several layers of mana around his body.

However, even though I was prepared that much, my body did not go cold enough to tremble.

‘Actually, Lennon, I can't believe you're here. ’

As I was going down quietly, a laughter suddenly appeared.

I asked him where he was from, but he made a mistake that he didn't really know he was going to leave his body in the mountain behind.

Besides, there was nothing else to blame.

Not enough ultra-high barriers to blow air into a corpse, not enough cooling magic to keep the corpse fresh.

It would have taken a tremendous amount of power to prepare this much.

For Lennon, who was dying of a fast runner, this would have been a fatal wound.

‘I've met you in my past life as a bad story, but in this life I end up with a good relationship. Be good in your next life. ’

Balin, who simply offered his blessing, went down with his foot.

The slope was pretty steep, so it was a moment before it slipped.

As I went down for almost thirty minutes, I finally saw the end.

Light full of holes! That was the end of this cave, for all to see.

“There he is!”

“... Finally...”

At last, Balin opened her mouth and stopped.

Strangely, there was another seal near the entrance.

Unlike the usual conclusions, it was a faint conclusion as it seemed.

‘What? That's the first time I've seen that. It's cold, and it's extending all the way up here, so it's probably not for temperature preservation, so is this just in case? Just me? ’

Maybe that was actually Lennon's last trap.

First, it was dangerous to go straight in. Balin stops Leven and Sonya, then reaches out.

Yippee.

The ether and mana on your fingertips are touching the boundary. They burrowed through the membrane without a care.

“Huh?"

I knew there was a reaction, but the reaction was more dull than I thought.

Balin's head tilts.

“Is this... something you have to touch yourself? ”

“Valine, here's the writing on the wall! ”

Leven makes an urgent announcement as he looks around.

When I turned my head to the words, there was a common phrase engraved on the wall of the cave.

- You can ignore it and come in.

“Huh.”

Valine checks the contents and smiles in vain.

Perhaps Lennon expected Valine to be curious about the outcome.

‘The Dragon's seal must be in the knowledge of the Eternal Tomb. I'll have to ask Katua later. ’

The seal will not disappear as long as you are confident, so you can bring Katua with you later.

The last time Balin felt that way, he spread the ether and detected the composition of the seal.

‘The Mana of Darkness... is a mixture of traces, but not harmful enough. Good.'

In the old days, he also asked me to tap the stone bridge three times.

This was the third time, so it was worth watching closely.

Balin takes a step back inside.

Suzus.

It feels like I'm passing through a very thin curtain.

There was an enormous thing in front of me as I broke the seal like that.

“Huff!”

“Ah.”

“... Ahhhh!! ”

Sonia, the last person to enter between Balin and Leven, curls up in a crouch.

However, the black giant in front of the eyes did not show any reaction.

Dragon! The strongest creature has just fallen unconscious here.

The Balin I knew before was less responsive, but Leben and Sonya's surprises were much greater.

From the head hanging from the long neck to the elegantly folded wings, to the tail extending from that end.

I could measure more than 100 meters in length.

A dragon this size would have been terribly powerful among his own kind.

“Hmm.”

Balin swallows his saliva and collects Mana. Then my body flashed into the air.

Fly magic works! Manat's flow is fairly smooth. That's it. '

Fortunately, the seal around here doesn't seem to be used to seal magic.

Balain sighs, relaxed, and looks down at Lennon's corpse in the air.

A cold stretch from head to toes. It seemed like he posed on purpose to be easy to dismantle.

“... you left it in the clear post-mortem. I never thought I'd keep my promise like this. ”

Balin suddenly remembers the insult he made to Three-Lenon while searching the Southern Great Mountains.

I think he was talking about a lot of things because he couldn't find it no matter how much I looked for it, but when I think about it now, I have no one to apologize to.

“... hmm. Hmm."

Balin clears his emotions with a cough and heads for Leven and Sonya.

Compared to Leven observing with curious eyes, Sonia was still growling with her ears and tails raised.

"Is this the instinct of the Cat Nation? ’

Suddenly, a strand of anxiety passed by.

Balin sits down and asks Sonya.

“What's the matter? Is something wrong? Something unsettling? ”

“Aren't you afraid of Balin? That guy... Even though he's dead, he still feels overwhelming pressure. Strangely similar to Representative Leven... ah! ”

Sonya, who was answering with tears, immediately covered my mouth.

I told him that I was having trouble dealing with Leven without knowing it.

It's a good thing Leven wasn't listening when he was looking at Lennon's corpse.

“... if you're like Leven... don't you feel anything else in particular?" ”

“Is there anything else? Not yet.”

“... Yes. That's a relief. I can trust your gut. ”

In a surprise compliment, Sonia grabbed my head.

When I stroked his head lightly, he looked like a real cat.

“There are no other traps! Just a chair, a shelf, a little bit in the corner. ”

Meanwhile, Leven, who looked around, approaches and says,

“Overall, it's enormous and vast, and it's more like a grave...”

“I know. You mean like a forge or a workshop? ”

Leven looks surprised when Valine intercepts what he was about to say.

What Valine saw was an admiration that she realized that even though the body was all she saw.

But she couldn't have known. that Balin had met Sil-Lenon beforehand, and that's what I heard from Sil-Lenon.

“... So you've done the sightseeing? ”

The other two nod, and Balin decides to approach the corpse.

“Town. Ha. ”

He takes a deep breath and lets out his hand.

Tak.

As my fingers touch the black scale, I feel a huge, dark Mana.

The outside was fine, but the inside was already broken.

“... not good. ”

- What's not good? Fucking human.

Valine's eyes are bursting with voices heard from the air.

Shhh!!

At the same time, an air stream gathered in the air, and within it appeared a boy's figure.

The three of them made a sound at the same time. The boy who appeared was a theorem of the imperial war.

- Late and fooling around with a woman, who can't be trusted as a human being?

He laughs as Valine collects Mana.

- Don't worry, I'm just a ghost here, a powerless shadow that I have left because I don't want you to get the wrong hands on my body.

The morning I came to the Southern Great Mountains, I visited Ruby Tower as well.

That morning, Elijah woke up in the sun and tidied up his sleeping bag with a yawn.

“Oww... I slept too much. ”

The roof of the steeple is where she is now. It was a dangerous altitude, even during the day when strong winds blew.

But it was entirely Elijah's will to come here.

There are limits to training in the Oval Office, so I decided to use this place instead.

“... let's get some sleep. ”

Elijah shakes his head while still looking around in the dark.

Whenever I felt lazy, I thought of letters and glass bottles, and my whole body stood still.

“We have to try harder to keep up with Master Balin! ”

Elia slaps her cheek saying that.

Cuteness was even more prominent because of my age.

After clearing out the area, Elia jumps off the roof of the tower.

When people see you, they yell, "Suicide."

However, she exclaims with confidence.

“Fly!”

Since the copy casting had reached its limit, it took less than 10 seconds to make the order.

Profit!

The falling body quickly snaps into the center, landing on the ground like a feather.

“Welcome, Your Highness! ”

“You're all eager early. I can't lose! ”

The clothes and the wooden sword were already taken down. You swing your wooden sword as hard as you can with Elijah, who joined the Crucible Heat.

Even after morning training, the daily routine was just beginning.

After finishing her fitness training, Elijah immediately went to work.

Elia's timeline was to focus on training and artifact production only until sunset.

Today will continue as usual.

However, that belief broke the mountain when Valine appeared in the tower room that day.

The other two nod, and Balin decides to approach the corpse.

Thank you for reading, the third and final chapter of the day.

Dear readers who have followed us to this review, we are very sorry for your trouble.

It's been a while since Elijah came out this side. It's been a long time.

Thank you for your love and attention. I will work hard to accommodate you, so please add one more recommendation before you go.

I'll leave for Yeouido tomorrow. Thank you once again.

/But the number of comments again is... what? I think it's a bank account number.
