The wise man returns

You don't have to come all the way here to see the top level wizard from Diamond Tower.

Even if it's not Penzance, the top wizards of the Diamond Tower are capable of fighting the Swordmaster.

Warwick hesitates for a moment and answers.

“... not officially... supportive. ”

“Yes?”

The feeling in Balin's head that she had heard the answer was one thing, and it was embarrassing.

What does the Wizard of the Diamond Tower have to do with anything if she's not a candidate for the Diamond Tower?

While he's hesitant about what to say, Warwick looks anxious.

“In the tower, the high lord either stands up for himself or meets in between two paths to support Duke Yuba. So it's safe to say that supporting Lady Evelyn was not part of the original tower's plan. ”

When Balin finally heard the answer, she sighed without concealing her embarrassment.

The Wizard of the Diamond Tower personally supports the Topside Doctor and others, and if anyone hears about it, he will not be able to escape the Intermediate.

“Did you leave the steeple now? ”

“No, I'm part of the Diamond Tower and I'm helping Evelyn at the same time. ”

Balin shakes his head without listening.

“I'm sorry, but I don't want to go on a sinking ship. ”

Warwick sighs as he says, "Moore."

Even if he thought about it, he wouldn't be able to say anything. As a wizard in a Horse Tower, you have a different meaning than a Horse Tower. I had nothing to say, even if it sank.

“Valine, help me. I need help.Actually, Evelyn...! ”

“I have a face with Warwick, but I don't think we're deep enough to go into the pit together. It was a pleasure speaking with you today. ”

He was the one who could only ask for help, but Balin could not resist.

It was Evelyn who had been watching for a while that she had just stopped standing up.

“Stop. You did good. Warwick, I'm in. ”

“Ah, miss...”

As she moves, Warwick shivers, agitated.

Out of the blue, Balin gathered his nerves there for a moment.

‘I thought you were just seducing Warwick with your looks, weren't you? ’

In Balin's mind, the assessment of Evelyn rises a little higher.

Either way, Evelyn finishes what she was saying to Warrick and turns to Valine.

“When you ask someone for help, Dory opens her hands after revealing everything she has done. I apologize for trying to break it on my end. ”

“... ”

The first number she took out was surprisingly honest apologies.

It was nothing special to apologize for or accept, but I couldn't help but answer because I was in a position to accept it.

‘Interesting.'

Balin sits down slowly.

She smells of danger.

It smells as dark as burning Ruby Towers, as if you were following them.

But, strangely, Balin continues to be curious.

Exactly what she's hiding. I wonder why Warwick follows Evelyn.

The Wizard of the Tower has no other sense of belonging.

The reason why Warrick is so superior and so devoted to Evelyn.

I wanted to hear it. It didn't mean anything.

“Sit down and I'll tell you everything. If you have any questions, feel free to make your own decision. ”

When Evelyn said that, she slowly began to unravel the truth toward Balin.

Why Warrick follows her and why he wants to be emperor.

“I have to tell you this first. It's about a bloodline that runs in my family. ”

“Genealogy?”

Balin adds, narrowing his eyes.

The Cadim Federation was free to be a union of numerous nobles like that name.

But to carry on the bloodline for wanting to be emperor there was a reason that if it was crude and familiar, it was familiar.

“Yes, bloodline. The connection between me and my family is the royal family of one of the five kingdoms that originally built the Federation of Qadim. ”

“... then. And why the Warwick ball follows you. ”

“That's right. Warwick is a descendant of a subordinate family that has protected our heritage for generations. Thank you... for coming to me... to fulfill my duties as a member of this family. ”

After speaking, Evelyn glances at Warwick.

There was an unmissable gratitude.

It was Balin who understood the situation. But he had nowhere else to help.

It was over 700 years ago that the five kingdoms were reborn as the Federal Empire of Kadim.

For the next seven hundred years, the emperor's position has changed over and over through this war.

Blood, a royal family, is a story that is no longer established in the Cadim Empire.

“I don't find it very convincing... Are you looking to regain some of your old honor? ”

The bluntly buried face of Balin was showing disgust.

At this rate, the results were obvious. Warwick, who was watching, finally opens his mouth without being patient.

“Hey, Valine...! ”

“To survive. If I don't win this tournament, I'm dead. ”

Survival, the most desperate and fundamental reason.

Even Valine, who stood up to Warrick and criticism, was surprised by this answer for a moment.

“Survival... Falling out of the Emperor's War won't put you at risk. Do you have any debts? ”

It is common for a respectable past celebrity to owe money.

Perhaps Evelyn is after a thousand dollars for it.

However, Evelyn gave me an answer that exceeded Balin's expectations.

“Ball Ball, I heard you got rid of the Horses a while ago. ”

“That's true. ”

“I'm with them, or I'm threatened by other kinds of horses. And that's why I'm asking you, as a groundskeeper, to do this. ”

Valine opens her eyes wide to the presence of the devil.

“... tell me a little more. ”

I had already known that a dark force was infiltrating the Kadim Empire.

It just didn't reveal who they were, crouching beneath the surface.

That's why I wasn't expecting much, and now she has a clue about them.

“I don't know the details. Just that they're coming at me for something...”

“Hmm.”

In front of Evelyn's blurry mouth, Valine is lost in thought.

If the Demon Prince invaded Evelyn like she said, it must have a special purpose.

They could have simply thought they were on the move to win the Emperor's War.

However, there was no reason to attack Evelyn.

‘I don't know what it is, but I think it's time to disrupt their movements. ’

The problem was credit in the end. Balin leans his dizzy head against the back of the chair.

“Then I'll ask. And if they're not emperors, then why do you think it's true that you're gonna die? Maybe he's just trying to get rid of the competition for the Caesar's War. ”

I couldn't believe what Evelyn just said.

Even so, we can't ask for evidence, so in the end, all Valine has to do is use her statement to determine the truth.

“There is evidence. Here.”

Balin looks back at the voice next to him, startled.

Warwick had just pulled something out of his hand.

“This? Mana of Darkness...”

“Extracted from the body of one of the assassins. Would that make sense? ”

Inside the wide robe, you see a jar of glass with a dark Mana and other items.

But the dark mana in the glass bottle was real.

As Balin had seen both the Pope and the Darkness in person, I could be sure of that.

Are you sure the Horsemen are after her? Not just eliminate competitors… for other reasons?! ’

At that moment, Balin realizes that she is being lured into Evelyn's face.

I had to calm down. I had to close the deal for profit and loss.

“I'll... clean it up. Miss Evelyn Wellington. ”

“Yes.”

“I'm sorry to jump to conclusions. I don't think I can help you. ”

It was the same no matter how many times I thought about it. I knew she was being targeted by the Mages, but that didn't mean I had to help her become Emperor.

It was better to support other competent candidates in the meantime.

The goal of Balin is to prevent chaos in the Cadim Empire.

For that, it was much easier to put a giant power on the throne, other than a puppet, Kratan.

“Bar, Ball Ball! ”

“You said Warwick, but so did you. Personally, I would advise you that you are no longer tied to any family responsibilities...”

“Make a deal. Us.”

Valine's body pauses for a moment as she turns to advise Warwick.

It is a brief pause, but Evelyn does not miss the gap.

“I promise. Mana's oath, or whatever. ”

“A deal... is there anything I can be satisfied with? I'm just saying, even if you give me the throne of Cadim, I'm not that interested. ”

Balin turns away, speaking in a cold tone.

In fact, even if you make Evelyn an emperor in her favor as a contestant, it's something that Valine pulled off on her own, not Evelyn's efforts.

Considering that, even if he received the throne of the emperor, it could not be beneficial for Balin.

Valine pointed out this precisely, but the terms of Evelyn's continued dealings forced her to open her mouth.

“One more... thing. What I can give you when I'm emperor. ”

“Beauty doesn't work on me. Miss Evelyn, there's one thing that says you're beautiful...”

“The magic of dragons. the magic of space and time. ”

“..... ”

Balin's whole body is rigid.

My whole body trembles at the thought that I could be enchanted by dragons.

It was not because it seemed great to deal with time and space.

What's going through his head right now is an artifact on his neck, and that's what Leven said.

Turn back time and space with the power of God.

Dragon magic deals with space and time.

Only the subject was different, but it was the same content.

“You said dragon... magic? ”

“Yes, it's a secret dragon enchantment in Cadim Palace. ”

Balin listens to what she has to say.

I had no idea that such things were hidden in the city of Cadim.

“From the fleet to the next, to the next. Only members of our five kingdoms can open the ruins that contain a part of the dragon's magic. ”

“The magic at the ruins... the price of the trade. ”

Balin nods, then asks me one more question.

“But why me? ”

It was a question I asked lightly, but I was able to find out more than I thought.

There were others, but first her heart.

If you came here without a thought, just by the fact that you got rid of the Horses and your ability to spread rumors.

It was desperate but courageous.

But if there's another motive, and it drives Balin to her heart,

Balin also intended to treat Evelyn as a woman smarter than she thought, perhaps 0.8 Lebanese.

“I was destined to fade away or be overtaken by the invaded horsemen. They're actually already being threatened. ”

Evelyn stops speaking for a moment before finishing her story.
