The wise man returns

Kanehoof is dead and the Red Orcs are gone, but there's still a lot of work left to be done.

The first thing to do is to recover the destroyed village, Baron Soldane, who expected it to take about a week, but Valine never intended to take that long.

Stir your fingers and the ground will burn.

As you move your arms, the corpses dive into the pit themselves.

The villagers glared at the magical powers they had never seen before.

I saw it when I was dealing with the Red Orcs, but I didn't recognize it because it was too surreal at the time.

After I got used to it, I began to feel how strange it was. The villagers stared at Chantan after a long day.

It was at that time that the Black Wizard Incident Investigators from the capital arrived.

“We're here! Your Highness! ”

“Mmmm!”

Earl Tennessee lets out an uncomfortable groan as the Knight in the lead row shouts.

I told you you'd come in person, but you didn't even show up to entertain me early.

‘This will never go unnoticed. ‘

The monarch was clearly so determined, but the sights opened before his eyes, erasing his anger as if he had been washed away.

The town where everything was burnt down, except the castle, the people who are working hard to cut down the trees.

The monarch opened his mouth to the scene of war.

"Yi, what's going on?"

Baron Soldier, who appeared in front of the terrifying Marquis, bows his head and looks at the other party's face.

Marquis Tennessee, the Chief Investigator and the only Sword Master in the Kingdom.

Five Class Fire Wizard Serra from Ruby Tower, a royal tower.

And to replace Robert of the Order of Layan.

Swords, magic, and divinity were all in one place, and they were a true specimen of the investigators.

The three men who were guided to the reception hall sat side by side and listened to Baron Soldier's report.

In the meantime, Valine is summoned by the baron's command and has to wait outside the gate.

Through increased hearing, a shadow falls behind Balin's back, listening to the sound inside the door.

“Valine!! ”

“Oh, Dad? ”

Balin turns away from the sound of her calling, her eyes wide open to the warmth of her whole body.

As you gain strength, your limbs twitch, but Laden gives you strength without hesitation.

“Hey, I heard everything. I heard you used magic to drive out the Red Orcs. ”

Laden could not speak there and then speak. Balin scratches her head and replies with a sudden look.

“Well, um... It's no big deal. ”

An explanation that makes you feel shoddy while talking to yourself.

Balin felt her face turn red.

At that moment, Laden's lips opened. The air suddenly cooled between the two.

“But Valine, how did you get that power? ”

“... Yes? ”

Balin feels his spine getting cold. At the same time, several memories of my past life passed before my eyes.

A young genius with talent, a parent who uses it to pursue his own self-interest.

I distinctly remembered the faces of the nobles who treated the child like my property. The next moment, Laden grabs Balin by the shoulders and shakes his horse.

“You didn't do anything dangerous? A deal or two with the devil. That's the kind of thing that can ruin your life!! ”

Balin raises his lip and says,

“Don't worry. There's no problem. He didn't sell his soul to the devil. He didn't use his life as collateral. This is my pure power. ”

“... is that really true? ”

Balin nods instead of answering. Then Laden tightens his shoulders and hugs Valine again.

“Thank you... sorry. You saved everyone's life. Thank you so much."

“Look, about the power...”

“If you're not in danger, that's fine. Thank you so much.Thank you...! ”

Raden, who hugs Balin with tears, was filled with only pure gratitude and relief.

Balin tried so hard to stay calm for some reason.

Baron Soldier, who was talking in the reception room, opened the door and said.

“Valine, come in. ”

I saw three people sitting prominently on the spacious couch behind Baron Soldier speaking in a gentle tone.

"Good answer! Don't wriggle! Cheer up!"

After Balin entered, Laden sent a small cheer.

As soon as the door closed, the three of them each spit out a word.

“You're sure this kid used multiple attributes of magic at the same time? ”

“God, it was a miracle that Layan gave me. ”

A single word that pops out from both sides. In the meantime, Earl Tennessee, sitting in the middle, reaches out his hand and says,

“Come and sit here. Little hero.”

“Yes.”

Balin tidied up the harsh emotional lines and brought a barrier to her mind that she had put away.

I didn't know which of the three in front of me would be the next enemy.

This is better if we don't have a guarantee that we are allies.

“I've heard so much about your balls. I heard you and the Baron helped drive out the Red Orcs. That's quite an achievement at that age. ”

The late Tennessee smiles as he breathes deeply.

Knowing his reputation, Balin can't help but feel his hands and feet.

“By the way, may I ask what kind of attribute class wizard? ”

“I've mastered up to four classes, and the attributes are fire. ”

In Balin's reply, the late Marquis Tennessee opens his mouth and marvels. As he was about to speak, a hollow smile came over him.

“Haha, Lord Tennessee. Too much praise. ”

Robert, who was sitting on the right, gave his head as he looked away.

He opens his throat lightly, then recites their business.

“We are people from the capital to confirm the appearance of the Black Wizard. Robert, this side...”

“I know that. Are you the Wizard from the Marquis of Tennessee and the Tower? ”

“Haha. That's right. ”

You smiled at the late Earl Tennessee and Cera as if she already knew.

Chancellor Robert continues to speak as he searches the foothills of the law.

“But I can't believe this is happening. It would have been so big if it wasn't for you. ”

“A compliment.”

Balin bows humbly. Whether he liked it or not, he laughed once more.

“Heroes need a proper reward. I will grant you a thousand gold medals in my name. Think of it as a gift from God and use it well. ”

“Thousand gold... Thank you! ”

He nods, thanking you, but his expression is not very comfortable.

In his past life, the priests hated him after the Demon Prince and the Northtra Empire.

For the sake of profit, those who betray for the purpose are understood.

Because no matter how much I thought about the people who dedicated their lives to God, there was no answer.

But getting a thousand gold coins from them felt like a debt I couldn't repay.

“Have you finished your work? Deputy Robert.”

“Haha, thanks to you, I'm done. Take a look at your business.”

As soon as Marquis Tennessee is on the other side, Secretary Robert immediately retreats.

Marquis Tennessee clears his throat and brings out the question he asked.

"You didn't learn such magic by yourself, could you teach us who your master was?"

Balin swallows a gulp. My instincts were warning me of danger, even if I didn't think about it.

If you answer incorrectly here, you will see enemies hiding in plain sight, or giants crouching around.

This time it was time, and I revealed my strength because I had enemies right in front of me.

However, it was not a guarantee that it could be released without hiding the genius.

“I don't know his name. ”

“Master? You have a master? Do you think we could meet now? ”

Earl Tennessee, who was behind Saeera, hurriedly jumps in.

It seemed like Balin knew why he was doing it.

A Balin who stopped a horde of Red Orcs with her bare hands.

He has great qualities, but he must have considered him unusual as well.

Perhaps no matter what happens, he will try to lure you into the kingdom.

The true thoughts of the late Tennessee were almost the same.

A first-rate person who should be brought into the kingdom by a teacher of this level of genius.

The appearance of the Black Wizard is also important, but compared to this, it was a firefly in front of the sun.

Valine pretends to hesitate and replies to Earl Tennessee, who was shining his eyes.

“Well, you used to be a soul, but you disappeared not long ago. ”

“Ugh…! This is unfortunate. ”

Earl Tennessee, who kicks his tongue, just smiles beautifully.

No matter how greedy they are, they've already died and disappeared to their souls.

In fact, the current Balin, which is a teacher, is in the body of a young Balin in its soul state.

So it wasn't necessarily a lie.

Balin thought the work was done here. But that was not all that was embarrassing.

“I've always wanted to meet you as a wizard... but you died in Mana... Oh my... Ugh...“

When I heard Balin's lie, I suddenly burst into tears.

It was Balin's mistake not to think of the wizard's intellectual desire as a wizard.

“Wait, so the undead who just appeared in the vicinity, that was the effect of your master's spirit disappearing? ”

Duke Tennessee, who was silent in the back, suddenly appeared to realize something.

As soon as Valine heard that, she cheered herself up.

You didn't even tell me, but you built me an alibi over there first, so I wouldn't have to lie about Castro's corpse.

“Probably. When the teacher returned to Mana, a tremendous surge covered the area. ”

“Then it makes sense that the Black Wizard never existed. ”

Duke Tennessee smiling brightly. He seemed happy to be able to settle things here.

Even though he wiped his tears, he agreed with that, and even Secretary Robert did not object specifically.

“Well, that's fine. Then let's conclude the Black Wizard case with a brief happy ending that this boy's master was returning to Mana! ”

Marquis Tennessee raised his voice with a couple of applause.

His eyes glisten as he turns to Valine.

“Hey, boy hero. Let's go up to the capital together. We're going into the tower. ”
