Chapter 343

“Why is that?”

“It is nothing.”

Lee Han came to his senses again.

Although the princess’ party’s extravagant sense of money was dizzying, it was definitely helpful in the current situation.

‘Well, there’s nothing good about going to the professors and asking them.’

But… no, even if you ask the professors, there is a high possibility that they will not obey.

In that case, it was more comfortable to receive the favor of the sponsors.

“Then let’s go get the wand.”

However, Lee Han’s face was distorted.

Seeing that, Rowena whispered in a worried voice.

“I’m worried that the effects of the previous battle may remain.”

“Well, I don’t think I’ll tell you even if it’s hard because of Wodanaz’s personality.”

“I’ll have to stop by on the way to see a doctor.”

* * *

When Lee Han arrived at the wand shop, he did not understand and asked.

“Why did you just meet the Healing Mage?”

“That’s just because I’m not feeling well…”

“Are you feeling unwell? Wouldn’t it be better to rest?”

Lee Han thought that Rowena was overworked.

So I said softly so that only Cltran could hear.

“Is the princess the type to make things a little harsh?”

“?!”

The princess’ eyes widened with resentment.

“It’s not like that.”

“Seeing you stutter is suspicious.”

“Isn’t it?!”

The healing wizard I met earlier looked over Lee Han and confirmed that he couldn’t be healthy anymore.

Rowena or Ctran ‘fought a poisonous contaminant!’ It was useless to say, ‘That’s right, please take a closer look!’

There’s really nothing wrong, so what can I do?

Rather, the other three heard one voice.

-It seems that you have been using too much magic lately. The damage is still there because it went to the brink of depletion of mana.

-It looks like you’ve been practicing alchemy all night, but if you handle reagents without proper ventilation, even a wizard can get poisoned, so be careful.

Cltran hurriedly opened the door, feeling that if he said any more, he would only receive a strange misunderstanding.

A signboard reading “Puyo’s Banyan Cane” was spinning around and the door opened.

“Puyo-nim is the most outstanding wand craftsman in Granden City.”

It is located in the central district of the city, and the appearance of the shop is quite old-fashioned, so the history did not seem short.

That alone could tell that he was an experienced artisan.

“Do you know Professor Verdus?”

“well…? I’m not sure about that.”

Rowena also tilted her head.

The reason the princess party was able to visit Puyo’s shop was because the patrons were friendly with Puyo, not because they were friendly with Puyo.

In fact, Puyo was far from a good opponent for freshmen to become friends with.

Artifact artisans with a lot of experience mean that they are seasoned enchantment wizards.

It wasn’t easy to get along with wizards who were several decades older than him.

“Have you ever met for the first time?”

“I’ve only greeted you once outside, but this is the first time I’ve seen you like this…”

“Is everyone here?”

A tree walked inside.

To be precise, Puyo was a half-blood tree spirit. The face, hands and arms were shaped like tree branches, so they mistook it for a tree.

“It is an honor to see you again. Mr. Puyo.”

“It’s a useless greeting.”

Puyo hated annoying ostentation.

If it wasn’t for the sincere request of the sponsors in the first place, he would not have let young students into his workshop.

“Didn’t you say you needed unenchanted wands?”

“Oh yes.”

Overwhelmed by Puyo’s momentum, Rowena stuttered slightly.

Of course, Lee Han didn’t care.

Among the professors, there were far more crazy people than Puyo.

In fact, even if you’re blunt like Puyo, you belong to the top 5% of people who say things right away.

As Puyo

gestured, several boxes stacked on the shelf opened, and long sticks poured out.

It was a staff made entirely of wood, untouched by any magic yet.

“Let the work be done only on this side. don’t come inside Don’t touch anything in the store, and since you’re a student of Ainrogard, you must have learned the basics of enchantment magic.”

The students nodded.

“Then I believe that useless accidents will not occur.”

After that, Puyo went inside the workshop.

Rowena and Cltran were finally able to sigh.

“I was nervous.”

“that’s right. I thought I was suffocating. … Wardanaz. What are you doing?”

“uh? ah. I was looking to see if there was a useful staff.”

Lee Han was looking around whether the two of them were talking about Puyo or not.

If there was anything good, I was thinking of taking it.

“Have you heard anything about Puyo-sama?”

“I didn’t really think about it. Didn’t you just say what was necessary?”

Do the work here, don’t make an accident, don’t touch anything else.

He only said what was really necessary, but there was no reason to be afraid.

“Let’s classify the wands first. Long guy this way. The short one is over there.”

“i get it. uh. But wordanaz. Why are you classifying this?”

At Cltran’s question, Lee Han stared at Cltran as Gainan did.

Then he smiled and replied.

“The longer the wand, the stronger the effect.”

“Ah… that’s right!”

A wand, an artifact that most directly assists a wizard in casting magic.

As such, even a minor change in the material of the wand made a big difference in its performance.

In general, the longer the length, the stronger the wand, and the stronger the strength, the more stubborn the magic.

Of course, anyone who handles a cane should have memorized these general tendencies like rules.

Of course, Cltran didn’t know much, but he answered as if he knew.

“It seems so!”

“Cltran. If you don’t know, just say you don’t know.”

“…sorry. I didn’t know.”

“Did you sleep during enchantment time? It’s what’s in the book.”

“……”

Cltran was filled with resentment.

‘I told you to tell me…!’

If he had been a student at the Blue Dragon Tower, he would not have been fooled by such a simple trick, but Cltran, who lacked experience, had no choice but to fall for it.

* * *

Puyo tried to focus on his work, but put down his tools.

It was not easy to concentrate as there were other people in the workshop.

I couldn’t refuse as much as Puyo’s supporters earnestly requested, but it was also true that I regretted it.

It wasn’t just that other people came into the studio and felt uneasy.

No matter how much Einrogard students are, they are freshmen.

Even if he learned enchantment magic, the time was short and there was a high possibility that he lacked experience.

Giving quality canes to such students was a waste.

The potential is limitless because it has not yet been processed properly, but it hurts to think that the potential will be eroded by the clumsy magic of the students and become a failure.

‘I can’t stand it.’

Puyo went to the door and glanced at the students at what they were doing.

No matter how much the sponsors requested the princess, if the work was too outrageous, he would not stand still.

Stop the work and send it out with any excuse…

“Come on. Cltran. You said you knew, so now tell me. Here came a wizard specializing in fire elemental magic and summoning magic. This wizard’s race is a dwarf, and the staff he used before was a staff with hwaryeongseok embedded in a maple tree. Then which wand would you recommend?”

“Uh… uh…”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“From the length.”

“First of all, since it’s fire elemental magic, power is important, so it’s long…”

“Wrong. Even if it’s fire elemental magic, power isn’t necessarily important. Rather, control may be more important. Above all, since the opponent was a dwarf, even if I recommended a long staff, it would be inconvenient to carry around. Did you learn enchantment magic?”

“Huh…”

Cltran was completely stunned. Rowena, who was next to her, was also frightened and stuck next to the princess. If I fell even a little bit, I felt like I would be bombarded with questions like Cltran.

‘????’

Puyo, who was watching, was surprised at the unexpected situation.

I thought the students would touch the cane carelessly and waste it uselessly, but they were systematically preparing for it.

It was amazing.

“But if you just try one by one and get a feel for it, you won’t c…”

Just!

Lee Han hit Cltran once with his cane.

“Are there any sticks left?”

‘It’s just a guy…’

Cltran muttered inwardly, but he couldn’t say anything more because he was afraid of Lee Han’s staff.

“You have to do a perfect calculation before going in. ruler. Cltran. Please answer. Which of the water element, wind element, and light element should be bestowed? And which of these wands will suit you?”

“Can’t you ask Rowena as well?”

“!!”

Rowena was so surprised that her long ears pricked up.

He looked at Cltran with eyes full of betrayal, but Cltran didn’t care about that right now.

‘Let me live first!’

“Uh, that princess?”

“……”

Adenart stared at Rowena. Rowena was embarrassed and lowered her head.

Instead of saying anything further to his followers, Adenart picked up a staff.

“Zelkova cane. You made a good choice. Cltran. The reason why the water element should be given first is that it is more stable than other elements…”

“Keugh…! I’ll just tell you! I was able to fit! really!”

“Just listen.”

In response to the students’ conversation, Puyo wondered if he should change his thoughts.

Many followers had heard that the princess’s talent was so outstanding, but looking at it this way, it was clear that Ein Lorgard, a collection of outstanding geniuses, was also different.

Besides, the boy over there was also great.

It wasn’t just knowledge of endowment magic.

Puyo, an excellent craftsman, could tell the skill of a person by looking at the preparations he made before starting work.

In that respect, the boy seemed familiar, as if he had never done this kind of work once or twice.

No matter how much I learned from Ein Lorgard, it didn’t make sense to get used to it so quickly. Wouldn’t you have learned the same as other students?

His natural talent was evident.

‘It’s amazing. That kind of talent is possible.’

Puyo, not knowing that Lee Han had been abused under other professors, was genuinely amazed that he could become like that with his talent.

“ruler. This is the magic circle for the water element today.”

While Puyo was admiring it, Lee Han looked through the book and picked out a magic circle.

Cltran asked timidly.

“Wardanaz. Is there a reason you chose this among water elemental magic?”

“It’s a familiar magic circle because I’ve done it a lot.”

“Right. … uh? Didn’t this ever come out as an assignment?”

“I did it separately from Professor Verdus.”

Ctran admired those words.

It’s to the point of working separately with the professor.

It was also Wodanaz.

“amazing. Wodanaz. I envy you…”

“Ctran. Before you say you’re envious, think again about what you’re talking about and then say it.”

“……”

Cltran thought again.

And looking back, I wasn’t too envious.

Even if it wasn’t as much as Lee Han, all the students who were learning grant magic felt the madness of Professor Verdus to some extent.

Rowena asked, puzzled.

“By the way, when did you have time in the middle of the semester?”

“We did it together during vacation…”

“Ah…”

A heavy silence suddenly lingered.

Even the princess, who was used to being silent, looked around in dismay as she didn’t know how to deal with this atmosphere.

“Were you a student of Professor Verdus?”

It was Puyo who broke the silence.

When Puyo walked out of the room, Lee Han hesitated.

‘…If I say I’m a disciple, I won’t be attacked, right?’

No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed that there was a high possibility that anyone who knew Professor Verdus would have a bad relationship.
