The wise man returns

Valine watches the wizards' reactions closely, one of which is Alberto.

I've seen her since the last time, but she really was a desirable person.

‘I've been looking all over for myself, achievement and talent are fine. If you raise him well, he could be the talent that will make the Karshan Empire... "

Balin, who was thinking of the bear, shakes her head.

It was not the excitement of the Karshan Kingdom, but how to deal with the Demon King and the Emperor.

To do that, we needed to deal with it as an enemy, not as a talent to recruit now.

Balin, who determined her attitude, said resolutely to the repulsive towers.

“If you don't like it, I won't tell you. Have a safe journey. ”

“Tsk! This is a dogma! ”

Rashid, who was biting at it, protested violently.

Veron, standing beside you, persuades you, as well.

.

“Valine Tower-- no, Valine ball. We're not just doing this because of our interests...! ”

It was a long speech, but the content was simple.

We are doing this with good intentions. Don't be stubborn, but let us know.

It was fascinating for Balin to see how they behaved on their first day.

“If that's the case...”

Balin rises from her seat.

There was nothing special about not giving them information anyway.

That's why I offered you a deal, and if you refused, this side had nothing more to say.

All they could do was threaten to isolate themselves from the towers.

And Balin was confident that he would turn it upside down.

‘Which one of you, 70 years advanced, will keep up with the advanced artifacts and magic theories in battle with the Demon King? ’

The magical system developed by Balin and other wizards for 70 years was unimaginable.

Humankind was caught up in the crisis of colostrum against the Demon Prince and the North Tra Empire at the same time.

That's why I did everything I could to survive, and the results were truly unimaginable.

There was only one place in the world that could overcome this stored head.

The people who were just looking at Balin, Alberto, who was in between, took his lips off.

“I will persuade King Karshan to open a trade route to support the artifacts and personnel of the Ruby Tower. ”

“Wait! Alberto! What's that supposed to mean?"

Even Veron and Rondat, who were watching the situation, turned their heads.

The blockade between the towers is only effective if all the towers are united.

That's why Alberto reacted so vigorously to Ivan.

“You've been proudly opinionating for a long time, but you keep coming out like that...! ”

“I'll take that offer. I will also promise to share the new artifact production technology. ”

The faces of the growling representatives were rigid at that moment.

Even the Wizard of the Diamond Tower, who was watching the situation from behind, did the same.

I don't know what the new artifact is, but I can't react as quickly as Balin said it.

The wizards swallowed the saliva together.

As the Infinity Shield has already succeeded, it is expected that new artifacts will be just as great.

At the same time, what came to their minds was jealousy of Alberto.

And the profit and loss of which side to attach it to.

Since he was originally a wizard, the calculation ended quickly.

At the next moment, the three of them knelt on the floor without anyone having to first.

“Sorry, Balline. Our Emerald Tower will supply a certain amount of Pure Mana Stone from Mount Valtan to the Ear Horse Tower. ”

“The land of Topaz Tower is frequently occupied by people and has a large market. I will share the benefits of that. ”

“Our Mano Tower is close to the Northern Great Mountains and can be acquired without hesitation. The Crown has priority over the purchase, but I will negotiate a deal and hand it over to you. ”

Valine smiles at those who unilaterally express their will to surrender.

When the three representatives realized the deal had gone well, they heard a word from Balin.

“No, all three of you. ”

Accepting Alberto was a kind of bait.

It's natural to give a reward as much as you came this way first.

In addition, Balin seduced other riders with the prize, and the result was success itself, as you can see.

“Huff...”

“Tsk.”

The eyes of the three towers darkened, realizing that it was too late.

Balin, sitting in front of him, gives a seemingly nasty smile.

Alberto saw his smile and sincerely thanked them that he was not in their shoes.

* * *

The negotiations ended shortly after.

The three representatives gave more and more until Balin was satisfied.

Thanks to this, Valine was able to give Ruby Tower more gifts than she expected.

After clearing the room, Balin asked the five who had gathered again.

“Again, we are purely concerned about the future, so please answer honestly. ”

Three delegates pretending to be solemn, but Valine did not fall for it.

“How did you know? So far.”

When Balin asked, the three representatives exchanged their gazes.

There was quite a lot of news, but most of it was untrustworthy.

Those who were confused eventually admitted to surrendering and told the truth as far as they knew.

“We know very little, actually. The pope was a vampire, and he set a trap for it, but it failed, and a superhero came and dealt with it for him. This much?”

I couldn't think of a better way to get any contact information.

Balin smiles bloody and puts a slight variation on his horse.

“Not long ago, this place. You all know that Andropos has evolved into a Grandmaster at Cardinal Castle. ”

In a shocking speech, the delegates all opened their eyes.

It is true that Andropos has awoken. Everyone here has heard it from their towers.

However, it was hard to believe that he was telling the truth.

All along, the in-house wizards were nervous and listened to Valine's story with information that belonged to the category of confidentiality, telling it all at once.

“Here's the thing...”

Balin slowly pulls out his mouth and mixes a little bit of falsehood with it.

All of this was driven by Andropos' plans, except for the fact that he led it all.

The Grand Master's grand plan to destroy the evil that crouches here and the Three Kings!

It was an unbelievable scenario that made everyone nod.

“I mean, the Balin Confederacy was just an accomplice to Andropos' plan, and he was destroyed by the demolition of the Demon Nation and the Northern Imperium hiding here. This?”

“Exactly. ”

Balin nods, acknowledging that Veron and Rondath's summary is correct.

Of course, that's an outrageous lie, but Andropos is now in the north, looking for Palias to teach.

Fortunately, all five representatives were in a reasonably convincing atmosphere.

“I see. So all this was Andropos' idea. ”

“I thought you were just a wildling. What are you up to? ”

Instead, there were side effects of suspicious arrows directed at Andropos, but Valine was not so worried.

Andropos was following him anyway.

I could control the situation as much as I wanted.

“Phew... I see. I originally wanted to see more, but now I'm running out of time. ”

When they finished speaking, the representatives stood up all together.

Thanks to the devastating damage, their faces did not look as good as one.

Between them, Alberto lets out another sigh of relief.

Thanks to the first one applied, it is the only one that gains while everyone loses.

‘Sharing new artifacts… what will they look like? ’

Along the way, someone's conversation echoes through Alberto's mind.

‘Mr. Alberto. Don't be alarmed. Act like it's nothing. It's Balin.'

‘... Ball Ball!? ’

Alberto tries to pretend he's fine, hearing voices in his head.

However, no one could see him pausing.

‘That son of a bitch... You can't regret it anymore. ’

‘Ruby Tower is what it is, but Sapphire Tower is not. Moreover, the relationship between the two towers is the worst! ’

Fortunately, the rest of the delegates accepted the reaction in a different way.

Meanwhile, Alberto struggles to walk, listening to Valine's message.

You said earlier that I would open a trade route. Instead, I prepared something better. We ask that you postpone the event for one more day. ’

I don't know which side is better, but it was also welcome to ask to go later than a day.

It reminds me of some of Alberto's minions.

Talents, each responsible for the future of Sapphire Tower, are now learning a lot from Ruby Tower.

If you had more time in a day, you would have achieved that much.

He sneaks out of the conference room with a satisfactory smile.

With everyone gone, the last remaining Diamond Tower Wizard appears.

“Goodbye, then. ”

“Well done. It's been an honor having you visit the Diamond Tower. ”

The wizard looking at Balin, who was answering, suddenly showed a meaningful expression.

I felt anxious because someone could not read my mind.

At that moment, as he makes his move, he throws a small word.

“I think I'll see you again soon. I'll come back then. The hero who defeated the emperor. ‘

Balin reaches out his hand, grinning at the wizard's greeting.

The two firmly shook hands and faced each other.

It was the Wizard who opened his mouth first.

“Of course, half were joking. Ball Ball.”

“I think you call the other half my ball, and that's flattering. ”

Balin lets go with a smile on his face.

The wizard secretly clicked his tongue and left.

Balin, who was left alone, was able to relax by then.

“... I thought I'd caught you. ”

The battle with the Emperor was the most violent of all the fights since the regression.

I had to do that thoroughly, but I couldn't help but admit that I was negligent about it.

“I had to. I fell right after the fight. ”

That's why I was so cold sweated by the Diamond Tower Wizard's question.

The level of discovery had to hide as much skill as possible before because it had been so determined since it had been sufficiently dominant.

“It was a joke. If it was real...”

Balin mutters as he unravels the secretly collected Mana.

To hide a secret, I'd kill for it!

After a lifetime of failure, I couldn't help but be gentle again in this life.

“I'll see you soon, by the way. What does that mean? ”

If you think about the surface, you know how interested the Diamond Tower is in you.

But Valine never believed it straight away.

"You expect me to believe those people who have hundreds of snakes inside of them? Instead, I will find a way to make peace with the Demon Lord. ’

Balin, who fought desperately, remembers the former Qadim Empire.

The Cadim Empire was the center of the world, and the history of Cadim was the history of the world.

Thanks to this, Valine was able to guess why the wizard had summoned her more easily than he thought.

I don't see anything. ’

Soon, there was no particular reason for the Wizard to summon himself.

Several times, though, Valine came to the conclusion that the Diamond Tower was purely of interest to herself.

Lightning flashed through Balin's mind as the bear thought.

He struck his hand without me even knowing it.

“Oh, right. The past has changed. The future has changed. ”

We've already lost Castro and Cainhoof, followed by Darkness and the Crown Prince.

Not only that, but the supernova Balin, which had never been seen before, is shaking the whole academic world.

It was a hasty thought that the Tower of Diamonds would not be affected.

‘Then it doesn't matter what you think now. ’

If history has already changed, it is meaningless to think about the past.

It was more productive to do other things at that time.

Balin lights up his base and goes outside.

Before I made room with Alberto, I was going to help the rest of my work.
