Chapter 319

Instead of replying, Lee Han strode forward and pulled on Gainando’s mantle.

When his hidden face was revealed, Gainando said with an embarrassed face.

“I didn’t look for it to write. I was curious about the principle… Yes! Find out in advance so you won’t be beaten later!”

“I didn’t say anything.”

“…Why are you here! You guys are here looking for an artifact that will help you win the card game!”

Yihan and Yoner were at a loss for words at Gainando’s absurd accusations.

Sometimes when you hear too much bullshit, there are times when you can’t react right away.

“yes?! Did I guess?”

“It’s not.”

“Stop talking bullshit.”

“…no?”

Gainando was a little stunned.

Of course, I thought he came to buy an artifact related to the card game…

“Guinando. If you want to win the card game, there are other ways.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“uh? really?”

At Lee Han’s words, Gainando’s eyes twinkled.

Whatever the case may be, Lee Han is a master of the wizard card game with the highest win rate in the Blue Dragon’s Tower.

“Change the composition of your deck a bit.”

“no! They are all my favorite cards!”

There were no low-cost cards in the deck, only high-cost cards, so he was hit every time in the beginning, but Guinando tried to believe in his cards until the end.

“Then there are other ways.”

“What?”

“Even if you lose, don’t whine and accept defeat boldly.”

“……”

Gainando glared at Lee Han fiercely.

It didn’t matter if they were scolded for not being good at magic, but they couldn’t stand being scolded for playing card games.

“Lee Han. look here.”

Yoner, who had been looking around ignoring their conversation, called Lee Han.

“These glasses. Doesn’t it look useful?”

“The alchemist’s glasses. It sure looks good.”

Alchemist’s Glasses

Refined from tiger’s eye stone from the western Ikancel Mine, these glasses have a perfectly balanced design fine-tuned by the Empire’s finest artisans. Feel the effect of powerful ingredient analysis magic that lasts for 5 years.

‘How much?’

Price – One Hundred Gold

Coins of the Empire Lee Han lost his balance and stumbled.

Yoner was taken aback by this. I wondered if my sister’s vicious mental attack had a belated effect.

“are you okay!? Could it be because of your sister?!”

“The price is… a hundred gold coins.”

“…I was surprised.”

“Yoner. No matter how you think about it, isn’t it strange? How can this be a hundred imperial gold coins?”

Lee Han did not understand.

Of course, the alchemist’s glasses were a useful item.

Even people who do not know how to use magic could easily analyze the ingredients of various materials and reagents.

However, in the eyes of the magician Lee Han, the price was too high. Isn’t it even a permanent artifact?

‘Gathering the materials and putting magic on it, I don’t think the original price will come out even a single gold coin.’

To think that such an artifact is more expensive than all of Lee Han’s wealth.

‘is not it? Maybe I’m thinking about it wrong.’

I’ve heard a lot that artifacts are expensive, but if artifacts like this are this expensive…

I didn’t know that Lee Han’s fortune might not be a dream.

“This is expensive because of the design and decorations rather than magic. Lee Han.”

“huh?”

“Look here.”

Yoner pointed under his glasses.

The names of the craftsmen who participated in the artifact work, their careers, and even the various jewels that went into the decoration were explained in detail.

Lee Han looked at the description and checked the artifact again.

It was definitely a pair of glasses that looked expensive enough even without magic.

“Why are you doing this? You can just cast a spell on your copper glasses.”

“Yeah… Because the people who live there want things like this…”

“Kuh.”

Lee Han bit his lip.

He was resentful of the state of affairs of the empire, which only paid attention to appearance and splendor without seeing the true value of magic.

If so, even if Lee Han works hard, he won’t be able to sell it at such a high price.

“I understand. Let’s stop disassembling and find out something else.”

“Keugh! Why is it so expensive!?”

“?”

“?”

Yoner and Lee Han were a little taken aback by Gainando’s cry.

Gainando was never a friend who said things like that.

He was a friend who had an pocket money that never dried up…?

“You don’t usually say that, do you? what’s the matter?”

“ah. that is.”

Gainando said in a slightly downcast voice.

After a bloody battle with the basilisk in the mansion…

“It’s not bloody. It was self-destruction.”

Lee Han coldly pointed out.

Hearing it that way could mislead others.

“Isn’t that enough of a blood clot…”

“No.”

“Anyway, I got a lot of compliments from my mother after that. My friends complimented me a lot.”

“so?”

“I was excited… I talked about earning silver coins by working with my friends. That’s why they complimented me more…”

Lee Han became a bit ominous.

“Could that be what I think?”

“…So I’m going to do it with my own ability so that I don’t need pocket money in the future…”

Lee Han and Yoner lamented at the same time.

What a fool!

Of course, it was understandable that he was excited after being praised, but kicking his pocket money himself.

It was very stupid.

To think that he would do such a thing because of his pride…

“You did well though, right?”

Gainando looked at his friends as if he was trying to win his spirit.

The eyes seemed to say so.

– Praise me!

However, Lee Han answered seriously.

“Cainan Island. I went back and thought it was wrong. Please tell me quickly that you will need adequate pocket money.”

“that’s right. You can’t stand it.”

“why not!”

Gainando was moved by the ruthless answer of the two friends who he thought would cheer him on.

“Yeah… don’t you really like working?”

“It’s not? It’s not?? Am I going to do a lot of work too?”

Yihan and Yoner looked at each other.

– No matter how much I think about it, I think I’ll regret it.

-that’s right. But we don’t know

-…Isn’t that too much for Gainando?

– He has to suffer a little to come to his senses.

“Lee Han. I want to work with you too.”

“You will regret it.”

At Lee Han’s words, Gainando patted his chest.

“I am also a student of Einrogard. A full-fledged wizard.”

Seeing that, Yoner thought to himself.

‘You ate it raw because it’s the tower of the blue dragon…’

Listening to the stories of the other tower students, it was literally a series of desperate survival.

If it wasn’t for Lee Han taking care of the meal because he was in the same tower, Gainando would come out half dead.

“i get it. If I get a job introduction, I’ll call you too.”

“really? thank you!”

“It would be better to say thanks after all the work… Anyway. I should sell some of this.”

Lee Han called the clerk. Then he took out the artifact he had brought with him.

The clerk quickly recognized the value of the artifact Lee Han brought.

“A ring enchanted with !”

“you’re right.”

“It is a well-made artifact. Do you have any instructions for the magician you made?”

“here.”

Lee Han held out the manual he had received from the guild.

The clerk who saw this was taken aback.

“…Is this a gift from the adventurer’s guild as a token of appreciation?”

“Are there any problems?”

“Are you Wodanaz-sama, who subdued the evil being this time?”

“……”

Lee Han tried to take a deep breath, but held it back.

No matter how much I thought about it, it was clear that there was an information sharing bulletin board in Granden City.

“you’re right. Can I get a discount?”

“You have a great sense of humor. I heard about it because a friend of mine works for the adventurer’s guild. I knew that the students of Einrogard were excellent magicians, but it’s rare to find someone who has been active like this since their first year.”

“I was lucky.”

It wasn’t a joke, but fortunately, there was no bulletin board for information sharing in Granden City.

“Anyway, there’s nothing wrong with the gift from the adventurer’s guild…”

the clerk asked cautiously.

If there was a problem with the gift given by the adventurer’s guild, it wasn’t just one person’s problem.

It was a problem for many people, from the artisan who created the artifact to the person in charge of the adventurer’s guild who trusted the artisan and entrusted the request.

“There were no problems. It’s just an artifact I don’t need.”

“!”

Lee Han’s words surprised the clerk.

Not needing an artifact was not simply knowing how to use that magic.

Casting magic for a wizard required more concentration and time than expected.

Not needing an artifact to compensate for that meant that the casting speed of the spell matched the artifact’s activation speed.

‘I see… He’s the one who subdued Lord Valdrogard’s Master and defeated the Basilisk.’

The clerk nodded, thinking about grabbing Lee Han’s back.

“You made a mistake in the guild.”

“no. A gift is an important thing. In fact, I would have been satisfied if I had given them in gold.”

The clerk couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter. And he took care of it with an embarrassed expression.

“You really have a great sense of humor.”

“……”

“Anyway, please wait a moment. I will come back with an appraisal. Is this the correct artifact to entrust?”

“ah. I would also like this helmet.”

The clerk nodded and headed to the back of the store.

an hour later.

The clerk returned with two artifacts. Gainando overturned the card game on the verge of losing.

“This enchanted ring is worth about ten gold coins.”

There was no such thing as clumsy negotiations at an artifact store specializing in aristocrats in the central district of a big city, unlike antiques and odds and ends shops in remote villages.

After doing such a thing, he immediately asked the noble, ‘Are you ignoring my honor now?’ It was just nice to hear the sound.

‘It’s not bad.’

Lee Han was very satisfied.

Ten gold coins.

To earn that much, he had to work several times at the Meikin family’s workshop and receive dozens of requests.

It was a gift from the adventurer’s guild.

“Please change it immediately.”

“yes. And this helmet…”

Lee Han was slightly nervous.

‘Wouldn’t that be quite expensive? It is an ego artifact. Ego Artifacts must be precious. But it has a very ugly appearance. shit. Should I have been adorned with jewels? no. Touching it with a non-professional skill would have only backfired.’

“…a cursed artifact.”

“yes?”

“Cursed artifact. To be more precise, it is an artifact with a sinister inclination. It has a tendency to lead its master to ruin… but you didn’t manage to get hurt.”

The clerk looked at Lee Han with a mixture of concern and respect.

The fact that he was intact despite possessing such an artifact proved the strength of his spirit.

Of course, Lee Han was absurd.

‘It was a cursed artifact?’

“Ah… Somehow, Lee Han met a lot of strange people.”

Kainando clapped his hands as if he finally understood.

I met a lot of strangely strong enemies, but it was all because of that helmet.

It has nothing to do with me! You didn’t even listen to me…!

Helm tried to protest as if it was unfair, but the clerk quickly covered the helmet’s mouth with a silent cloth.

There was nothing good about listening to the evil artifact.

“This cannot be purchased. Wardanaj-sama will take care of it, but please be careful as it is an evil artifact.”

“thank you.”

Lee Han glared at the pitch and took it. Helm closed his mouth at that gaze and was silent.

After buying a piece of cotton candy for Guyanando, the three of them returned to the Wodanaz family mansion, and the servant said to Han.

“young master. A guest is coming.”

“this time?”

It’s night soon, and guests are coming.

It was a visit I wouldn’t do unless I was a very friendly person or a very rude person.

‘It must be the former.’

“Is it Asan?”

“no.”

“Durgyu?”

“no. I don’t think he was a friend. And he was someone I hadn’t seen before.”

“What kind of race do you have?”

“You are a vampire.”

“……”

Lee Han’s face turned pale like a vampire.
