The wise man returns

A mysterious stream of magical power suddenly distorts in several places. Every time, Valine remembered those places.

The scan revealed that there were a few more than ten locations throughout the room where the magical field deformed.

Balin clenches his tongue a couple of times before spreading a new magical field.

Shhh!!

A new magical field infused with cold water mana and sticky dirt mana.

As it spread throughout the room, the room quickly cooled down. Suddenly, I hear crunching noises everywhere.

I smiled at the mouth of Balin, who counted them.

“What? No one's coming in? There are over ten Enchanted Surveillance artifacts installed. ”

At this rate, it was no exaggeration considering that the traffic was exposed for nearly 24 hours.

He would have been watching everything from sleeping to changing his clothes.

“You'd be surprised how suddenly the surveillance spell broke. What should I do? It's a long way from surprising. ”

Balin continues to move inward, spreading two magical fields.

The wizards' private rooms consist of living areas and laboratories.

The living area is the living room where Balin just entered, and the bathroom and bedroom.

Balin, who looked around both places, walked out with her tongue.

So far, his surveillance magic artifact has exceeded thirty.

Thinking about the price of an artifact, it was about as high as a luxury mansion in the capital.

“To hear only sound, to see only vision. Some of them can move on their own. I know this is a Class B artifact, but good. ”

Balin lays them on the table and absorbs Mana with gloves from the storeroom.

Since they are not few sheep each, Mana heaps them up, absorbing all 30 of them.

“Well, that's great. Very good.”

After entering the lab with a satisfactory smile, several surveillance equipment welcomed Balin.

Balin clears out surveillance equipment pretending to be innocent.

The laboratory's equipment was all Class B artifacts. When I ate them, quality Mana quickly filled up.

If I continued my training, I could have entered the sixth class. But Balin cleaned up the lab instead and brought back the red air, which was cut into two pieces.

“I want to go to class 6 as soon as I feel like it, but it's urgent to fix this first. ”

Establish the authority of the tower first. Balin thought of it that way and quickly got ready.

There were a lot of hidden places and materials in the lab for the tower, and Balin graciously took advantage of her former memories and piled them up.

“First, I have to start by remodeling this guy. ”

The gloves had to be modified to awaken a new feature, artifact processing, in order to repair the red ear.

Balin took off his gloves, placed them on the experimental table, and lifted up the mana stone and dissolved it.

The Mana Stone that was dissolved became a liquid, and the goal of this task was to manually paint it on gloves and transform the magic given to it.

If you're a normal wizard, you have to work hard for a few months. But Balin had knowledge and tricks as a tower master.

When I squeezed the dissolved Mana Stone like a cream, a new circuit began to form.

Balin doesn't breathe, and he focuses on his work. I used my full Mana generously to regulate the flow of Manasik, and I protected it thoroughly in case the gloves were damaged.

Saaaak, Saaaak. Ssssssssshhhh.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. Chihuahua!!

I almost ran out of Manaseok, which I had enough to hold in both hands. In proportion to this, Valine's complexion suddenly faded.

After work, Elijah opens his visit. She looks carefully at the sound coming from inside the lab.

The lab was a complete mess. All the experimental instruments that had been set in place were pulled out and piled up on the table with melted manure, sculptures, experimental instruments and reagents.

“What are you doing!? ”

“Hey, what's up? ”

Ballin waves his hand while he lies down tired of the screaming questions of Elijah.

To Elia, who was surprisingly approaching, Valine waves her black gloves.

“That's it. It's working. ”

“Yes? Success? ”

To Elijah, who didn't know the language, Valine laughed and said.

“Prepare some Manasik leftovers, as good as possible. Just one.”

“Manasik? What are you going to use it for? ”

While asking and answering, my strength returned to me somewhat. Balin gets up slowly and moves the Mana Circle.

All of that Mana disappeared, and most of the original Mana Circle was empty.

It doesn't make artifacts, and it takes this much Mana to fix circuits a bit.

So the value of the artifact that I created myself was beyond my imagination. That was common sense so far.

But now with these gloves and a magician, you don't have to. Balin looks at the staff on the table and says,

“Whatever it is, I'm going to fix it tomorrow, so I'm going to use it there. ”

“Yes!? ”

Elia's voice rises even higher. However, Balin did not answer, but only smiled.

* * *

Early the next morning, a rumor spread among the wizards.

“Did you hear? The new one. I heard it's hard to resist the top Lord because he has no personality. ”

“Now the rider deserves it, honestly. Honestly, if it wasn't for your granddaughter...”

“Well, so would the country. I came to you with great expectations, and if the rider is a kid younger than me...”

The identity of the rumor was that Balin's behavior, in fact, despised the passenger and moved at his own pace.

No one's stopping you. Rumors spread throughout the tower in a single day.

Supporting it was the testimony of some wizards who visited the tower for work.

“Is that true? You're not even coming out of the room, and I'm resting in a private room because I'm too tired to be alone?! ”

“Surprisingly true. Elia's the only one in the Tower. I asked her, and she said she was resting. ”

“Oh my… rude!! ”

The rumors were distorted like the truth in an instant.

In the tale of the unsportsmanlike genius, the wizards at Ruby Tower frowned at all ages.

One of the first to move was Carl Mortenson, one of Clyden's three advocates.

Valine has been absent from class for all apprentice wizards since day one.

I feel bad because of the chatter outside, but this is the only reason I need to use my hands.

As soon as the class was over, Karon and the disciplinary board headed directly to the boarding cabin.

“Your Highness, I have something to tell you about your disciple, who came in yesterday. ”

“What do you mean? ”

Unlike usual, he was surprised at Elia's relaxed appearance.

The twelve-year-old who was always buried in the work of the tower looked strangely comfortable today.

“Rather, I'd like to discuss the punishment for the Tower Lord's disciple who came in yesterday...”

“I refuse. It was my call. ”

Before the end of the sentence, the voice of resolute rejection echoes inside the room.

Carron frowns and asks, leaving his men hanging back.

“No matter how tall you are, you can't order you to break the rules of the tower. Don't you know you'll be more difficult later if you do this?" ”

“That's something I have to take care of. Now get out.”

I don't know what the disciple said, but Elijah was speaking without any fuss.

Just a few days ago, there was no girl who was shaking whenever I met her.

‘That's too bad.'

After a tremendous turn, the wizards of the Ministry of Justice follow behind him.

Elijah sees that she's left alone, and then she just starts crying in a relaxed state.

“Heh, heh, heh, heh. ”

“What are you crying about? What's so scary about that? ”

Elijah yells, blushing at Balin, hiding in the corner.

“I don't know! He's a very scary man. ”

Balin smiled at her as she raised her voice instead of answering.

No matter how scary the wizard is, that's the story inside the tower.

I was not very impressed with Balin, where the stage itself was different.

“So, what is it? Give it to me."

“Ah, ah. Yes.”

After walking out, Balin takes the documents Elijah was working on, writes down the perfect answer and throws them away.

On behalf of Elia, who is too old to do the work on the tower, Balin is doing the work to save her life's experience.

“Done. Take your time with the next task. I'm gonna get some rest. ”

“You did well yesterday. ”

A sincere thank you reaches behind Balin's back.

Balin waves his right hand lightly into the wardrobe and into Manna's training position.

Yesterday, I was so exhausted that I had to smoke a new Mana all day to fill my empty Mana Circle.

‘I still have those gloves, so I won't fall into the Mana Clan from now on. ’

The solemn Balin touches the Mana Stone stored in the closet.

Immediately, the full-quality Mana begins to be sucked into the body through her hands.

The time, the tower.

“Crazy!! ”

An expensive pottery rolled around the floor with a loud shout.

Cleaden grunts, raising his elongated voice.

“What's going on here? Carl! Where are all those surveillance artifacts?! ”

A powerful Mana buzzes from Cleaden's body, screaming with bloodshot eyes.

He shrugs and wishes only for his anger to escape him.

A total of 58 surveillance artifacts installed in the tower's rooms. Fifty Tier C artifacts have eight Tier B artifacts.

It was almost like he had a castle salary in the dormitory, but it was no wonder they all flew away.

However, he crouched in fury and puzzled his head behind intense curiosity.

Although Grade C artifacts are unknown, surveillance artifacts of Grade B or higher are extremely rare.

Finding and destroying them all was the right thing to do without knowing where to set them up.

Cleaden has the same curiosity. His eyes are filled with suspicion as he growls and breathes deeply.

“Get up."

“Yes, four! ”

Both are publicly known to be wizards of the same grade. Nevertheless, Carl does not dare to disagree with Clyden.

If it were just a simple network and power map, I wouldn't bend so much.

The sword swallowed by the rising fear.

How the hell did you get through a seven-class wall? No matter how sudden the epiphany is, it can only be broken through in a few weeks?! It can't be! ’

Months ago, Clyden punched through a solid seven-class wall within weeks of the collapse of his former tower.

It was the center of the faction before, but after the gap between the 7th and 6th classes, Cleaden's position was completely established.

Even if I tried to convince them, I couldn't help but notice that class six became class seven in a heartbeat.

The Wizard's Common Sense makes no sense at all. But I can't help but notice the living witness.

Since then, Clyden has been moving east and west for the position of the Horsemen.

His true calling, known to others as a master of six classes.

For those who know it, the position at the top already seems to belong to Clyden.

Just yesterday, until a little boy named Balin came as a disciple of the Tower!

Clyden flies his fierce colic at the standing knife. It was mostly about whether they had found anything before the video was cut off.

“You didn't see anything? Tell me something. ”

“Well, I don't know... I was overseeing the morning classes! ”

It seems impossible to get any more information from the trembling sword.

What's going on? I don't think it's right for that kid to do that. ’

According to the information Seira from the royal family, Balin was never worthy of it.

Five classes of Fire Wizard. If that's all, it's normal not to turn off artifacts, but to not be able to detect them.

There was definitely something behind it. There is anxiety in Cleaden's eyes.

“Well, why don't you take this and guess? ”

“Stay here for now. If I go out for no reason, I will strangle myself. ”

Flow was taking this side anyway. The wizards' support is strong, and so are the connections behind them.

After releasing the knife, Clyden begins his obsession with training Mana.
