The wise man returns

'This?!'

Balin wanted to check out the new menu right away, but now Elijah is in trouble.

Valine couldn't help but postpone her confirmation and then tell Elijah.

"For the last time, you really have no objection?"

"Yes, I swear."

After checking each other's doctors, Balin and Elijah set some rules.

Number one. When people look at me, Balin is my disciple and Elijah is my teacher. Of course, at that time, Balin writes a respectful name.

Two, we don't do anything that's harmful to each other. If done, it shall be conducted in mutual consultation.

Third, Balin teaches Elijah the power to defend himself. During this process, Elijah never vomits over Balin's instructions.

At this rate, we have created a minimum framework. Balin reached an agreement by adding one more condition.

“Fourth, Elijah, you must swear by the contract of Mana. No matter what happens, I won't betray you. ”

When I had a chance, I fell into the temptation of darkness and lived among the person who showed my teeth. This time, I was going to fill my collar before they showed their teeth.

“Mana's contract? ”

“It's magic I made, and if you don't do what you promised, you can think of it as a penalty. ”

Mana Circle was a new magic that Balin invented during the Great War.

When you specify something with each other and write it down on the scroll, the scroll becomes Mana and enters the body of two people, and it stays in the circle and nerves as it is.

When someone breaks their promise, the rest of Mana immediately moves and destroys the nerves of the Mana Circle or the body.

Of course, now is the time before the magic was made, so Elijah could not have known what it was.

“... Sure. ”

After all, Elijah had no reason to betray Balin.

What I thought was just a boy genius was a story from before.

The moment she saw the magic of fire and water being used simultaneously in front of her eyes, she had just erased all the assessments she had made about Balin.

"This is the monster who hid his identity...!" ’

Valine relaxes from her body, confirming that Elijah nods.

I had to make a scroll to get the contract anyway, but the modification of these gloves had to take precedence.

After the conversation, Balin closes her eyes with her ears open. The tiredness of walking from the palace all at once.

“Let's postpone the contract for a bit, and I'd like to hear about this tower, by the way. ”

“It's good to hear about the tower, but when is the vow of allegiance between master and pupil? ”

Elijah narrows his gaze. Balin blinks as if she had forgotten.

“Oh, that? You have to.”

Then, I suddenly put my hands on Elia's head and recited a single word.

“I swear, I, Valine, take Elia... Bridget as my disciple." The end. ”

“No, not like this...! ”

“I did. ”

There was not a single point of flutter on Balin's face when he said that.

In the war with the Demon Lord, complex and large consciousness naturally diminished.

The ritual of priesthood has also been simplified.

It was like declaring defeat in an everyday battlefield where life flew away at once.

“But…! ”

“It's not about promises, it's about action, right? I was never his apprentice later because you didn't do this. Will you do it?”

“... ”

Balin, who cut off Elia's protest at once, relaxed on the couch.

“Let's hear it for now. What's the current power grid of the tower? ”

“... you can almost think of Clyden in one hand. ”

Elia spoke of the wizards in the tower in a calm tone.

Only a handful of apprentice wizards support her now.

All the official wizards in three or more classes were already lining up with Cleaden.

“It's as if everyone is the enemy. ”

“These are the ones that move as they change. I hope so. Just tell me which one of them you're interested in. ”

Elia's expression distorted with the attitude of not caring at all about the subordinates.

It was clear that she was angry, but Valine was unafraid.

Either Elijah was angry or he had nothing to do with controlling the Charming Horse Tower.

Information is important. Information about enemies moving Ruby Tower in the role of Cleaden's Hand and Foot.

“Hah, I don't know what confidence is, but I'll tell you what. Teacher.”

Elijah, who was staring at you with a bad look, finally shakes his head.

Balin rolls his mouth slightly at the words "teacher." I heard a lot of things in my previous life, but I felt strangely good hearing them again.

“First of all, Mr. Cleaden is the water wizard of a six-class master, and there are three very large subordinates below him. ”

She slowly unravels the descriptions of the three men.

First, Carl Mortenson, Advisor for Deepening Magic. Although it is easy to ignore because of the fat and fluffy flesh, he is actually a land magician who has mastered the sixth class.

Since he taught the majority of wizards because of his graceful personality, Clea was the second most enlisted ally in the tower.

As Carl Mortenson gathers the support of the wizards, there is no doubt that his whip awaits in front of those who oppose him.

Caron Ernst, Wizard of the Sixth Class Wind, is a man in his mid-50s who is in charge of the Martyr's Chief of Regulatory Enforcement.

“I'm wearing a black suit from head to toe, so it should be easy to recognize. ”

Elijah asks you to be careful what you do in front of him.

It also meant that he was persistent and fierce.

“Then the last one must be someone in charge of foreign affairs. Who is it?”

Balin asked the last person in a gentle tone. Elijah sighs, trying to say Moore, and tells you who the last one is.

“Yes, there is a sales manager who handles things related to the outside. She's not as magical as the other two, but she's a proper grill artist. ”

“Woman? That's amazing. ”

Even if the Horse Tower is fair, it is time for a woman to struggle to get into a position like that.

One of the corrective practices after Balin became Daehyun was that discrimination.

“Do I have to accept one commitment? So, who is it? ”

“Serra Belline, I've been in the tower for less than five years, and yet I've laid that much ground. He's probably the most vigilant of the three. ”

Elijah, who mentioned her name, bites her lips in an instant, thinking.

A woman who quickly entered the Horse Tower and accepted the news, then quickly grabbed the people around her.

Though her intuitive figure and aptitude made her a key figure in the tower in no time, Elijah was convinced she was hiding something dreadful.

Meanwhile, Balin's expression changed strangely as soon as he heard the name.

Cera must have been the vampire who was seduced by Balin.

You're from Ruby Tower, so you'd expect a name to come out once, but you didn't expect it to come out.

He grins at Elijah with a struggling grin.

“So, those three are Cleaden's hands and feet, right? ”

“Yes, Mr. Cleaden has a lot of connections to the nobles, but if we just take these three out, he can't do anything about it anymore. ”

After finishing speaking, Elia's expression was quite depressing. Maybe the stakes or abilities of those three people are that great.

Valine was quite surprised to hear that Serra was like that. However, he deliberately suppressed his views.

The fewer people who know about these hiddencards, the better. Besides, Elijah could have told me that she was still a child, and things could have gotten bigger.

“That's enough. That's all I hear today. So, Elia, where's my private room? ”

“Private room? You've never been in here before, do you know that? ”

“I have something to do. ”

One of the first wizards to enter the tower is the private room.

I wanted to give you a house, but it was hard to imagine giving you a room alone with all the equipment.

Even though Balin thought that was natural, Elijah stood still and laughed.

“I noticed you did a lot of research before you got here, but you're not there yet. Private rooms are only given to other wizards, not to apprentices. ”

“Oh, right. ”

After being on top of the job for so long in my previous life, I now take it for granted that I have a private room.

Balin scratched the back of his head without even knowing it. After seeing it, Elijah turns around, smiling bloody.

“I'll show you to my private room after hours. Until then, just be patient. ”

“No, I want to go now. I want to be alone. And I want Manasik, dissolution reagents and experimental tools, if possible. ”

Elia frowns at Balin's request. I could see him complaining that he couldn't take it for a day.

To put it into perspective, Valine whistles silently. After all, it was Elia who raised her hands.

“Phew, okay. Follow me. I'll show you to my private room. ”

After finishing her speech, she gets up without delay and heads out the door. Balin chases after you.

I already know where the private room for the ride is. What it looks like, what the structure looks like. All the secrets are hidden!

Elijah goes downstairs and tucks the key into the locked door. Watching Balin tilts his head.

“Wait, why are these keys? There's something else. Where's Red Eye? ”

“Oh, that's...”

Elia's face hardens as she opens the door. At that moment, Balin felt uneasy.

A staff that can only be owned by the tower of Red Eir and Ruby, and only a few A-rank artifacts in the world.

I've been using it since I opened the magic seal in my private room, but now I wonder why I use the key.

I saw myself in a private room in the ridiculous view of Balin.

Private rooms covered in rugs under colorful furniture looked generally old and hard.

But catching his eye is the table in the middle of the private room.

It was two sliced red staffs on the exact table.

“That's...!! ”

“Yes, Red Eir was found with his grandfather's body... half-cut. ”

Elijah replies in a bitter tone in front of the startled Balin.

His face was all tangled up with all sorts of emotions.

Elijah, who passed by Balin, was stunned.

“Thanks to you, I now use the key instead of using the staff to authenticate. But the security is intact, so no one will enter except me. It's perfect if you're going to do something alone. Then I'll come back after work. Until then, do what you have to do. Teacher.”

“Uh-huh. ”

Balin stuttered slightly, thinking that he had touched someone else's wound.

I had no idea there were two A-level artifacts.

As soon as Elijah closes the door, Valine lets out a deep sigh.

That's why I didn't pick a cane in the Artifact Repository, but something seemed to be going wrong.

But we have to do what we have to do. Balin quietly opens the magic field and sweeps through the room.
