The wise man returns

What Balin is saying is the news of the abuse of Laden from soldiers and Seira.

The air in the surrounding area became cooler in an instant while making a small fuss.

Simply Laden has been harassed by the late Lord Tennessee. If it had been that far, the atmosphere wouldn't have cooled down like this.

Nobles beat the common people as they are, even though their eyes frowned.

But Valine added one more element:

“As a citizen of the kingdom, you are committed to the honor of the kingdom. But the consequences of coming back are harassment! This is something we cannot do, Your Majesty, without expecting the end of the kingdom! Who will move for this country in the future? ”

The end of the kingdom. That was the moment I spoke my mind. It began to give rise to a feeling of intimidation that would sweep away the atmosphere around it.

How dare you utter destruction in front of the king. It was an action I couldn't do without being that keen.

But Valine was relaxed. It's because I've been thinking about all of this from the beginning.

“You mean there's someone who suppressed the entire people to alert them of the imperial crisis? ”

Unmatched cold as before. The king turned on the lights in his eyes and said, "I'm really angry."

“... Yes. ”

“Oh my gosh! I'm going to dig deep, and I'm going to cover my tracks! ”

The king is furious. As he intended, Balin looks into the Marquis with a penitent smile.

As expected. Earl Tennessee's face is noticeably pale.

“Marquis Tennessee! ”

“Yes, yes! ”

Earl Tennessee, who is in a hurry, sees the king's command resting on his shoulder.

Visibly sinking shoulders at the end of each sentence. Balin watched as the decade old body weight subsided.

“Investigate for yourself whether this boy's words are true, find out who did this, and sentence him rigorously! ”

“... Yep. ”

The voice of the Marquis is dying.

Following orders, he had to hand himself over in chains, but I was afraid that he would be caught crafting another sacrificial lamb.

While Earl Tennessee is in a deep slump, Valine sends a signal to Seira, who has remained still.

He is fully aware of Balin's intentions due to his fascination with magic.

She approaches the king, bowing down and opening her mouth.

“King, I have a message for you from the Wizard of Ruby Tower. ”

“What is it?" ”

“Speaking of what I just heard, I saw...”

Serra told me in detail what she had seen from there.

Who roasted Laden, Balin's father like that?

I don't know how you bullied him and what you said to him.

The Marquis of Tennessee, who was listening, looked even more pale than this.

He raises his hand a few times in the middle and tries to stop Sera. However, at that time, the king's gaze closed the mouth of the baron.

This was the vengeance that Valine had prepared for the late Prince Tennessee.

After Seira's story, the garden's atmosphere became incredibly cool.

“Marquis Tennessee, you'll have to explain yourself...! How dare you have an impure heart in the kingdom! ”

“Well, that's not...”

The monarch shakes his head, sweating an elongated sweat. What I thought was a simple puff was coming and strangling me.

He looks at Saera with a feeling that he cannot understand, but Saera's red eyes are shining brightly, pretending not to know anything.

From the Marquis's perspective, it was a lightning bolt in the dry sky.

I can't believe the wizard of the Horse Tower, who was never my enemy, would go behind my back like this!

Even if I wanted to pick up the slack, I had to clean up the mess first. The baron trembles before the king, trembling like a rabbit in front of a tiger.

“The Wizard will return to the Tower and claim your reward in the Artifact Depot. Marquis. The ball stays here for a while. ”

It's colder than the blizzard in the North!

Marquis Tennessee bows his head and takes orders.

The king sent Balin away, and the time for reporting is over. Since the gate is closed, the king's prestige is heard.

Although it was not a very long time, it must have been useful for many purposes.

You got your reward, tested Sera's enchantment spell once more, and finally, you roughed up the Earl of Tennessee's back.

Balin giggles and follows the guide.

At the same time, Secretary Robert hurriedly entered his room at the time of the battle, having reported the illness as an excuse.

Instead of holding the crystal ball on the table without a bird to sit on, he without delay breathed pure divine power into the bead.

Whoo-hoo!

The crystal ball shook with a light. Soon after, you hear a clear voice beyond the crystal sphere.

The voice of a young man, Robert's successor, gasps and gives orders.

“I'm Pastor Millon, the Artifact liaison for the Pioneer Kingdom. Are you Deputy Robert? ”

“Yes, it's me. We don't have much time. Call the Pope now. ”

“Yes? Yes. But what brings you...”

To the High Septon expressing his doubts, Secretary Robert spoke in a meaningful tone.

“I found a mouse in the kitchen. That's all I have to say. ”

Kitchen rats, sacred thieves, their own passwords.

While the High Septon was gone, Robert took a long breath.

We still don't know how we got to the very bottom of the Holy See.

However, once you get stepped on, you'll never get away with it.

"Make sure you catch the man behind it... Wizard!"

The eyes of Chancellor Robert flourish.

* * *

The new guide bowed his head as soon as he saw Balin and introduced himself in a polite tone.

“This is Tibor of the Near Circle. His Majesty ordered me to escort Valine to the Artifact Repository, so I did this. ”

“Thank you for your concern. Then I'll take you there. ”

“This way.”

Balin takes a relaxing step forward and backward from TiVor.

The kingdom of Pioneer is quite large among the kingdoms. But the interior wasn't that complicated compared to the size.

Thanks to this, it was a great advantage to think differently while walking. As he entered the inside of the Resistance, Balin secretly made a puzzling expression.

‘I don't want to do this, but I had to ask Cera for guidance a little too much. ’

If Seiya is enchanted, she will be able to show all the artifacts without hiding them.

Unlike this new article, she was reliable. You won't be able to do any tricks unless you're enchanted.

‘Perhaps this knight has reached out to the Demon Prince himself. I'm not sure, but there's nothing wrong with being careful. ’

“We're here, Valine. ”

“Thank you.”

When I turned my eyes to the word "arrived," I saw the door in front of my eyes.

A thick metal door guarded by several knights on either side, and a jeweled ornament, but even more, a hidden magic trick was revealed.

This is the artifact repository of the Pioneer Kingdom.

It was the most heavily guarded place except around the king as a place to store important items.

“Your Majesty's orders. You asked Balline here to Sergeant a desired artifact. ”

“Orders.”

“There you are. ”

The knight guarding the entrance said Tibor had a scroll of paper ready in his arms.

It wasn't until the knights had thoroughly searched every last bit of Saturn that they granted permission to travel.

“According to my orders, I will consider an enemy to be one of the items I can take with me, if I have more than enough greed." ”

“Let me be clear. I'll go in, then.”

The knights guarding the door pushed the ticket into the groove next to the door.

Surprisingly, the metallic door began to flare to the sides.

As the magic lanterns illuminated one by one through the open door, I began to see the long open corridor.

“I'll be going, then. Stay right behind me. ”

After speaking, Tibor takes a deep breath and walks in first.

After that, there were numerous artifacts in Balin's eyes.

A selection of only the finest artifacts. It was a perfect fit for the most strictly handled place in the kingdom.

“Valine, are you familiar with the rating of the artifact? ”

Balin shakes his head on TiVor's previous question.

I had to know because I learned it from my past life, but if I said it like that, I could buy up useless suspicion.

TiVor clears his throat a couple of times and opens his mouth.

“Then I'll give you a brief explanation from now on, so listen while you watch. ”

When finished, he raises his great arm and points to a magic lamp.

Spheres that are caught on the wall and emitting a faint light. TiVor points to it.

“The ratings of artifacts are Class C through A, and above that are Class S artifacts. C is the lowest, S is the highest. ”

Spheres that are caught on the wall and emitting a faint light. TiVor points to it.

“That's the C-class artifact I was talking about. Little Wizard, it's a cheap and weak artifact commonly found in the outside world and distributed in the marketplace. ”

After speaking, Tibor nods to himself. I think it's an appropriate explanation. It was quite amusing for Balin.

TiVor takes a short breath before reaching out his arm to take an example of a Class B artifact.

Clearly stronger than Grade C artifacts, they are called Grade B artifacts that cannot be treated arbitrarily. For example, Tibor was wearing gold armor.

"You can stop all the messy arrows and spears. There's nothing like it on the battlefield."

Balin nods. That armor is a rare item, but a Class A artifact was even rarer.

In terms of numbers, less than 10 countries in total. It certainly was in this era.

“There are Class S artifacts on top, but they won't be in this repository. It's in the lore, so don't worry too much. ”

‘It's a legend, so the future I had is a legend. ’

Palias the Sword, Ishanta the Shrine. Holy Christel.

All heroes, including themselves, each had one or more Class S artifacts.

And the Demon Prince, and the Northtra Empire, and the heads of all nations.

Combining all of their Class S artifacts with ten fingers, I couldn't count them all.

I can't believe all the artifacts are in the lore.

A sudden thought lifted Valine's jaw.

TiVor tilts his head to see if the reaction was unusual.

“Anyway, I want you to get a high-grade artifact if you're excited. So that the rotting creatures in this warehouse can see the light of the world. Really, we don't waste any more of this. ”

Artifacts that shake the world with just one look.

It was natural to think like that because they were sleeping here in a pile of them.

It would be better to use them out than to rot away and be taken away by the Demon King or the Horsemen.

“That's the end of the explanation. What do you like about it? ”

TiVor asked me, just in case, so Valine can revisit the artifact one more time.

But that and this are separate things. Balin shakes his head slightly and asks in hesitant tone.

“No, thank you. But do you mind if I take a look around?" I want to relax and choose my mind on my own. ”

“Well, that's a little tricky. Because I have your orders. ”

A noticeably embarrassing Tibor, perhaps, means that the king's orders are as serious as they come.

But Valine never gave up. The difference between TiVo and no was that big.

“Please. There's only one entrance to this place, and I can't use artifacts to destroy the entire castle, can I? I just want to relax and look around on my own, but the King won't mind if I ask him this much. If anything happens, I'll say it's 100% my fault. Please. ”

After several rejections, it sticks together and stretches. TiVor, who was shaking his head for a long time, finally raised his hands.

“Hah, got it. This is a linear sphere, so you can bring any of the artifacts on either side. Each one has its own benefits, so you can bring something that fits the bird. ”

TiVor taught me to see the approximate qualities and effectiveness of the artifact.

His face became noticeably stiff the next moment.

I'll tell you what you should never do. He looks at Balin's reaction and speaks slowly.

Balin listens carefully to what he has to say. If you have a problem, you lose money.

“You shouldn't bring more than one. Then the death squads out there will attack you immediately. ”

“Yes, yes. ”

“You also do not need to operate artifacts in here. Self-inflicted leads to major accidents. ”

“I'll keep that in mind.”

“I'll call you when I have time. If you've picked it up before, pick it up. I'll be off then. ”

At the end of it, Tibor rises up. In the end, I will only accept Balin's invitation.

Barely devoted to that side, Balin now has to carry the most useful artifacts in this archive.

Thank you for reading today.

In her phone comments, she said she was going to be the Demon King.

There's no Mana of Darkness, so probably not. Yes, I am.

There are things about the Merchant Guild war that say the heart is the head and the heart... In another article I've seen before, it does that.

I was impressed, and then I stopped...

Thank you for reading.
