The wise man returns

“A steeple?”

Balin pretends not to know where it is, even though he knows where it is.

Marquis Tennessee's talking tower. Ruby Tower, the only tower in the Pioneer Kingdom.

A place that is neither outdated nor outdated, but characterized by nothing in particular.

It's a place where Balin goes in two years later and learns magical knowledge.

‘I knew you'd say that. ’

If it's true that you defeated thousands of Red Orcs on your own, Valine is already a classy wizard.

You don't want to miss out on the Pioneer Kingdom. Rather, the privilege was insufficient.

After all, Valine did not feel the need to refuse the bargain of the baron.

I needed a fence to protect myself after I revealed my power anyway.

If you're at the Horse Tower in the capital of the Kingdom, at least you won't be able to come and kill me outright. A resolute Balin opened his mouth.

“Sure."

“By the way, if you want to ask your guardian, give me my name. No pressure. ”

The Marquis of Tennessee laughs out loud. Balin laughs at you in plain sight.

Making a successor a monarch means becoming a monarch.

That is, the ball excavated from the stone called Balin and the benefit of raising it as a gem.

It was said that all this would belong to the Marquis of Tennessee.

I would have been purely grateful to Balin in my past life, but now I know too much.

‘It may seem obvious, but there's no reason to refuse. It's more prestigious than it really is, so it should be easy to use. ’

But I shouldn't have accepted it right away. He glances at the rest of the two.

It was necessary to bounce them back to some extent while they were conscious.

Balin, who thought so, looked at the late Marquis Tennessee's face and said,

“Thank you for your kindness. Let's think about it slowly. ”

“Well, I see. I hope that's a good answer. ”

Of course, the Marquis's words were trembling as he thought he would accept them immediately.

As I had nothing more to say, Secretary Robert stood up first.

Balin bows and greets the three movers.

“Have a nice day. ”

“You should, too. ”

His eyes just opened wide. He glances at the necklace that Balin has around his neck with a white, dull expression.

‘Wait, is that... really?! ’

“Come out quickly. Your Excellency.”

“Ah, ah! I'm sorry.”

The voice behind his back raised his gaze.

He strives to stay calm and walks out the door.

However, no matter how hard I tried to erase it, the necklace Balin was wearing came to me more clearly.

"The necklace, that must have been kept in the Holy Father's...! ’

A few months ago, a secret known only to the highest ranking figures above the Chancellor.

The most closely guarded of the divine sacraments that had been kept in the deepest part of the Holy See.

The supreme sanctuary, known as the Necklace of Cognition, vanished like a charm!

There was no intrusion from the outside, but I can't say there wasn't.

Since then, I've been secretly searching for people, and I've found them here by surprise.

‘... let's not act rashly. We need to contact the Holy See first. Patience to the capital. Patience to the capital. Yuck!'

The prefect who ruled the mind smiled without struggling.

I originally decided to host a banquet with the investigators in the evening, but I ended up having a simple dinner because of the poor circumstances.

At the banquet, Valine thanked Baron Soldier himself.

It was an implied expression that I would never forget the grace I have given until now.

The baron shed an emotional tear and applauded the warm scene of Marquis Tennessee and Cesar.

Surprisingly, Secretary Robert didn't come out of the room to find out what was going on, but all he had to do was ask if he had something personal to do.

As the night goes on, Earl Tennessee announces the end of the party.

“Tomorrow we head straight for the capital, so let's call it a day. ”

“I understand.”

Dinner's over! Balin has been specially assigned a large room alone.

A natural courtesy of the hero who saved the territory.

I heard that, but I couldn't sleep because I was lying alone.

“You leave for the capital tomorrow. That's when they were exposed. ”

Balin, who had spoken to herself, held Mana in both hands.

A blue Mana in shape with a thought.

It's a powerful force, but it's still lacking in many ways compared to its target.

That's why I didn't bring up Laden and Millia.

Only one Valine may enter the tower in the capital unless specifically requested.

The rest, such as family members or relatives, cannot benefit unless they speak.

I don't know about Laden, but Millia seems to be quite upset.

Even at the dinner tonight, I could see how excited I was to see the capital.

“Hang in there. This grandfather isn't strong enough yet. Huff.”

An old man's accent that I thought I'd thrown away came out of nowhere.

I looked around in surprise, but fortunately, I couldn't see anyone else.

With a sigh of relief, Balin got up and walked slowly.

‘Not at this level. Growing my abilities will be slower, so I'll have to go the other way. ’

The higher the class of magic, the harder it is to get to the next level.

The interval that it starts to reveal is the interval from class 5 to class 6.

It is said that the wall is so big that the sky must allow it to become strong from here.

Even if you've been up there once, you can't get up there in a month or two.

Of course, it would have been nice if you had walked that path slowly, but now it is not the case.

‘For now, you need to get artifacts to strengthen your strength or make allies to fight with me. ’

Artifacts are simple objects, so you have to choose your allies carefully.

The man you chose could have been your future partner in the battle with the Demon King.

Balin's ears suddenly became cooler as I was considering it for a while. Balin turns her head and sighs of relief.

The window of the room was open. On the other side, a hot wind touched Balin's ear.

“?! ”

“Hehe, what a cute little boy. ”

You turn your head to the voice coming from behind you, and you see the woman in the red eye smiling.

Valine checks her face, loosening her guard and looking at her opponent.

The woman is Seira, a wizard from Ruby Tower.

“What are you doing here tonight? ”

“Is it because she has something to do with you? ”

The eyes of Seira smiling meaningfully sparkled brightly.

Now the third coming with a dazzling look in his eyes

Apparently, her outfit was weird, too.

Where did the red robe that I was wearing during the day go? I covered only the hidden areas with red silk.

The daring costume of a semi-girl in and out of the way! When I mingled with the atmosphere of the night, I showed a scary color.

But Valine could only feel anxiety there instead of glamour. He bites his lip and sticks out his hand.

“I don't know what you're talking about, but if you keep doing that, I'll call someone else. ”

“I'm disappointed, is it because you're still young? It's so cold.”

An invisible wave flows from Saeera's body as she laughs.

Balin quickly breaks through the magical barrier, but the wavelength remains intact.

“Oh!”

There was no room for screaming. When the wavelength hit my body, my whole body suddenly drained.

A black shadow draws over Balin's collapsing vision.

He revealed fangs and bloodshot eyes that are characteristic of a vampire.

She ducks as she shines beyond the shadow.

“I'd hoped you'd caught the Demon Lord's Kanehoof by yourself, but you're so easily overwhelmed. Woof. What can I do? ”

“Y-you were... a vampire? ”

A voice comes from Balin lying on the floor.

Selia shakes her head up and down with a Cook Cook smile.

“Yes. Serra Belin, Bird of the Northtra Empire, vampire. Take good care of him. Valine.”

“... Khh...”

He gladly watched Balin, who had been grinding his teeth.

You managed to secretly harness the power of the vampire enchantment as planned.

In doing so, she and her clan of vampires acquired a new henchman.

And at the age of 15, he's an amazing fire wizard who masters four classes!

“Huhu, it's an honor to know you. My master treats talented people that much. Unlike humans, who are background and identity. You'll remember this moment well. ”

Saira, who lowered her head and met Balin's eyes, said in a laughing tone.

But she didn't notice a pair of blue eyes shining behind her back.

A voice comes from a pair of eyes. It was Balin's.

“Bird of Serra Belin of the Northtra Empire... Who is your master?" ”

“My master? You want to know? Hehe, unfortunately... Pope. It's the Pope.”

Even if he speaks softly, he tells us all the information Balin asked for.

Her attachment was that she had no knowledge of Balin's unique abilities.

An Epic grade noble soul that has been given its unique ability since the beginning of Balin.

The ability to spill any kind of psychological attack was no exception to the vampire's power.

The bounced enchantment continues to reach Serra, and for the first time, she's caught in the act.

The result is what it looks like now. She falls in love with the illusion of enchanting Balin and passes on the information she knows.

Balin did not stop there, but went on to answer a few more questions.

All results achieved! As if to say everything you ask, you don't look like you're pretending to be bewitched and looking for an opportunity to strike back.

“So what's going on inside the empire right now? ”

Valine and Sae asked me about the politics of the Northtra Empire carefully.

“Hmmm, there's a succession of imperial succession going on. The king has promised to pass his golden blood on to the victor of the three successors...”

The word "imperial succession" made Valine's eyes gleam.

The North Tra Empire revealed its weaponry at the age of 40 in Balin.

Prior to that, it was a powerful nation, rivaled by the Federal Empire of Kadim, but inside it was completely sealed in secret.

Up until now, I thought he was just crouching for time.

What if there was a vortex within the Empire?

The first I heard of Balin asked, nervous.

“If it's succession, do we fight to the death? ”

“Once upon a time, but this succession came with special orders. I heard that the winner is the one who recruited the strongest in the world and got the strongest in the family. ”

“... What. ”

Balin had anticipated a civil war wielding a spear.

I breathed for a moment in a different meaning than I knew.

“Then the person with the most ties...”

“Become the new king. I inherited His Majesty's golden blood. ”

Sera's words contained surprising content.

The succession of the Northtra dominant, and the result of it.

Balin recalls her past life by swallowing her saliva.

When the Demon Prince and the Northtra Empire were fighting the Union of Humankind like rivals.

At that time, the emperor of the North Tra Empire displayed a truly near-perfect power.

Allies bind, enemies divide.

Seeking only the most efficient things. It looks like a wizard.

‘Emperor Hartler Chepesh. ’

Members of the Northern Imperial Palace are great figures whose names are hardly even known.

The only information the world knew was that the offspring of the Huanglongsa were both male and female.

But the direction in which Balin focused was not the successor to the emperor, but the many clans they had gathered during the succession.

Traitors from all over the world interfering with the United Nations. What worries Balin is that they are once again on the side of the Empire.

“Well, if one becomes emperor, what does the other do? ”

“You're a curious child. Hmmm. The successors will never die, so go on to the next succession, just like the new successors made by the Emperor in loyalty to the Emperor. ”

“Many ways to benefit the Empire, no harm done. ”

“Hehe, I told you. The Empire does a thorough portrait based on abilities. Now are you willing to cooperate with us sincerely? ”

Remaining in front of the sniveling Sera, Valine sighs.

If the roots of the North Tra Empire had grown this way.

It made sense that the United Nations had eventually collapsed in a former world.

The Great Tree took out all the viable roots, and all that was left was the dead branches of the Confederacy.

At that level, no matter how hard you try to stay strong, it only lasts a moment.

If you take away the power of the United Nations like this, you can almost go to war with another Demon King.

Of course, they won't respond unless you step on their tails.

Balin smiles meaningfully and then commands you to face Seira.

“I am perfectly caught in your brainwashing, and I am the best talent I have ever seen. Tell that to your master. Now go to sleep. ”

“Yes? I'll do that. Hehe. I'll see you later. ”

Seira disappears through the window, unaware that she has been bewitched by the illusion.

The rest of Balin smiles, resting comfortably in bed.

“Good. Even the emperor of the northra empire before his ascension. The moon is rolling...! ”

Perhaps other princes are spreading my chains, or intervening in the world themselves.

How dare you leave the Empire. You will surely regret it.

I swear in the name of Balin the Great!
