The wise man returns

Ten days passed faster than I thought.

Meanwhile, the preparation for the demonstration was fixed.

The large courtyard of the horse tower was cleaned, and on top of it was the placement of each wizard.

The seat of the tower was the most prominent centre, with the exception of which the rest depended on individual efforts.

Now that Elia and Balin are practically merely ornaments, it's up to Clyden to decide.

“Mr. Cleaden! I'm near the entrance, 12 seats in District A...”

“I admire your skill. A place where nobles will enter the Horse Tower near the entrance. You can't put a new class of wizard in a place like that. ”

A blatant word of refusal, he turns his head and laughs as soon as he sees the next wizard coming in.

“I'll go wherever you want. I'm only a third-class master, but..."

“Huh, this guy. Be confident. Listen closely to this demonstration. I'll give you a special seat. Look, District A, seat 12. ”

The opposing wizard, Cleaden, who gives the territory its own free will, has fallen far from the wizard of old.

However, the Black Hand only handles the wizard much better in the future.

A black pocket that flows into your hand. Cleaden checks the contents and places the wizard in a good place with a satisfied expression.

Clyde is still in control, and he's taking advantage of that.

Meanwhile, Balin has checked the near-finished Red Eir several times.

Red Eir is ready to unleash magic as Mana enters.

If I wanted to use it, I could immediately unleash seven classes of flame magic on a pile.

“Are you sure about this? ”

Elijah looks at Balin with worried eyes and asks.

Even though she is said to be a flight attendant and assigned a central seat, it is true that she is anxious alone.

Clearly, Clyden is working his way through it, and if he doesn't do something about it, he's bound to be ruined.

However, Balin examined the Red Eir with a relaxed look.

Check and check for any irregularities.

I had a lot to do soon, so I had to make sure there were no problems.

“Prepare for the demonstration...”

“It's okay, it's okay. ”

Balin replied unequivocally.

He already knows what Clyden's up to with Cesara.

It's possible that she's in charge of an outside job. Cleaden can't imagine the most important person on my crew is on Balin's side.

You captured all the nobles and wizards? I think he's going to crush me with his connections to kill me, but he's not going to do what you want. ’

After completing the inspection, Balin asked Elijah to get a Lesser Mana Stone, Iron Chunk, and a Collectable Amount of Iron.

Red Eir is about to create a main dish, an artifact that will attract people ahead of it.

“You're going to make artifacts in ten days? And... metal? ”

Elijah shakes his head in disbelief.

However, Balin's expression remained unchanged.

“It's not me. You're in. So make arrangements as soon as you can. ”

“...!!! ”

Elijah moves, not knowing what confidence is, but after that, Valine remembers something she had seen in her past life.

Over the course of 70 years, the magical system has been surprisingly discovered.

All sorts of new technologies were created to fight the Demon Prince, but what Balin was trying to build was one of them.

Artifacts that can be created in just ten days and have the same impact.

That should be enough bait for everyone in the kingdom. Balin was so sure.

The preparation for the demonstration took place, finally 15 days. You summoned Balin and Elia at the same time from the palace.

The two entered the castle and were respectfully guided, surprisingly the place was above the high walls.

“Is this...? ”

Balin's eyes changed strangely as he climbed the stairs first.

The nobles of the kingdom look thick on the walls.

Those who gathered at the head of the king were all looking up at the northern sky together.

The nobles near the entrance looked up at the two new arrivals.

“Look, they're the ones...”

“I'm greedy... How do I, uh, get in touch? ”

“There you go. Unless I get it, I can't help it, unless I already have it. ”

Nobles who exchange their eyes carefully with each other.

Balin's eyes narrowed.

They're gonna be crying their eyes out anyway.

I was still strangely bothered.

Just about to get to the other side, Elijah opens his mouth behind his back.

“Didn't you say it was important? ”

“Well, that's what they said...”

The knight turns his head to Elias, who doesn't speak English.

As she tries to cling to something strange, Valine reaches out and stops her.

“Wait, Master. I think I do. ”

“Do you think you know? What? What the...”

You continue to hear chattering next to you.

However, instead of answering, Valine looked to get closer to the other side of the sky.

I thought I knew who "you" were and what you said.

Every second, a point in the sky called the size, and as it approached, a sudden malignancy erupted among the nobles.

“Oops!”

“That one!? ”

“Horse tower! Horse tower! Shoot that thing down!! ”

“No! ”

The identity of the dot was surprisingly a monster, one of the top monsters in the shape of a dragon.

While everyone was frightened, Valine heard some scorpions beforehand. Elijah holds his place without shaking.

Duke Shantos gazes oddly at the two standing calmly.

In between, there were dozens of people riding on the back of a dragon that was close by.

Body shapes and ages vary, but they look the same as the one with thick clothes.

It is not suitable for the Pyonian Empire, the central region, at this time of warmth.

The dragon stops flapping its wings right in front of the wall, and the riders begin to descend.

“This place is warm. ”

“I see. Klael.”

“Welcome, everyone! Thank you so much for coming from so far away! ”

The nobles of the North Tra Empire are crawling on the walls one by one.

Regardless of what was on his mind, Duke Shantos greeted them with a big smile.

“It's an honor for all the royal scholars to greet me. ”

A blonde youngster comes down in response. He's quite a looker when he's out on the streets.

The young man nodded at Duke Shantos, then immediately approached the king and bowed down.

“You are the empire's emperor. How do you do, King Armando II of the Pioneer Kingdom? ”

“It's an honor to meet you. Emperor, this is Chepez, the emperor of the North Tra, Arbedouin. ”

As they greet each other with a polite greeting, Valine watches the group buy with an indifferent gaze.

Balin, who slowly checked their levels, swallowed a breath of surprise.

Surprisingly, all the Sadans who were coming down were the ones who were the least strong.

The level was so high that half of them could conquer this kingdom immediately.

But the most powerful among them is the emperor himself, who now speaks to the king and Duke Santos.

Compared to what other people have seen, it was hard to imagine how strong it is now.

It was around that time that the gaze of the two speaking towards this direction.

After saying hello, the pope walked straight to Balin and Elia.

In my first encounter with this life, I finally met the leader of my enemies.

Balin's fury subsides, his head bowing with a welcome smile.

“Elijah, ruler of the Ruby Tower, greets the emperor of the North Tra Empire. ”

“I hear the passenger has changed recently, so I'll take good care of it for now. ”

The Emperor turned his head to Elijah's greeting, and there was a wave in his eyes.

“The Wizard Balin greets the Emperor of the North. ”

“I've heard rumors... about you. ”

The lightly spoken emperor reached out his hand and asked for a handshake.

It is hidden thoroughly, but reveals a slightly tense tone.

Balin smiled and grabbed the emperor by the hand.

Powerful Mana coming from your hands!

Surprised, there was only the Pope's smiling face.

Even if you look around, no one seems to know about it.

Balin quickly realized what this meant.

"You want to test me? ’

At the same time, it was the same emotion as that of the fisherman who took the bait.

Balin confronted it with manna mixed with traces of ether. At that moment, a powerful repulsive force came upon the emperor.

“... bam! ”

He quickly distorted his face and retreated.

His face was clearly marked by the color of the rot.

“... how? ”

The emperor who looked at it with an unbelievable face seemed to be quite shocked.

“Have you shared your greetings? Let's go inside. As you said, we have prepared a grand reception. ”

As the duc approaches behind his back, the emperor releases his hand and laughs.

“Sure. I'm looking forward to it. ”

While he struggled, he thought carefully.

‘He's much more walkable than I expected. How could you show such power at that age? I'm going to award Serra my blood. ’

To give more blood is to strengthen the power of vampires themselves.

The best reward for any vampire clan.

The slave she had captured was worth it.

After everyone went in, the knights tried to escort them to the banquet hall, but Elijah and Balin politely refused.

The knights looked embarrassed, but they had to leave because they were pushed to prepare for tomorrow's demonstration.

On the way back to the tower, Elijah opens his mouth while walking still.

“That was the emperor of the North Tra, wasn't it? ”

“That's right.”

Elijah blinks and smiles, behind Balin's silent reply.

“He looked handsome and decent. I think it would be a good country to live in if the royals were all like that. ”

She rubs her lips and laughs.

Balin replies coldly to Elijah, who was about to ask him what was funny.

“Of course he's handsome, he's a vampire. ”

“Right. So handsome. Vampires... Huh?! ”

Elia's voice rises as she fights back. The acolytes look surprised by the echo in the hallway.

“Vampire to the Imperial Court, how can you say such a rude thing? ”

“I'll tell you the details later. ”

After speaking, Balin glances around.

I felt no other tactics than the visible servants.

The horses you just talked about won't go into their ears.

Balin, who was secretly relieved, paid close attention to Elijah.

“I don't think you should bring that up now. We'll talk more about it in the tower. ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

I feel like I'm talking softly, but with a firm tone, more than anything else.

Elijah shuts up. But her curiosity grew.

"I'm not the enemy... but what the hell..."

It appears like a comet, silencing all obstacles and controversy one by one.

It was great, but it was just as scary.

Balline has already shown too much for a simple wizard.

It was a suspicious situation for Elias, who didn't really know him as a regretter.

It wasn't Valine who didn't know the look in her eyes.
