Lee Han has been serious for the first time in a while.
Priestess Cyana tilted her head, blinking her vertical pupils typical of snake beasts, as if she still hadnât realized the strangeness.
âYou werenât threatening me?â
âHow am I threatening the professorâ¦â
Suddenly, Lee Han recalled what he had said earlier, âIf Professor Voladi hears about Mr.
âIt wasnât a threat. It was more like an earnest request.â
Lee Han, who finished the rationalization quickly, explained the situation.
âI had to convince other guilds to finish quickly.â
âhow?â
ââ¦Because I helped?â
ââ¦â¦â
Priestess Cyana said briefly with her eyes, âThat seems less likely than what was threatenedâ¦â.
Lee Han noticed a suspicious energy in his eyes and asked again.
âWhy are you looking at me like that?â
âMaybe you misunderstood?â
âGet ready to go out. Letâs all stop what weâre doing and leave.â
At Lee Hanâs words, the princess, who was taking out a new scale from the corner, nodded brightly.
âuh? Didnât you go out?â
Lee Han was surprised and asked Yoner. That reaction took Yoner rather bewildered.
âThen did you think you left?â
âhuh? huh.â
ââ¦why?â
The princess was also one of the best students among the students.
Thereâs no way a person like that could go out on his own.
âDo you want to sell a lot of snacks outside?â
ââ¦â¦â
Yoner was startled.
âLee-Han thinks the same as the princess and Gainanâ¦â
Yoner couldnât finish the question.
While I was asking questions, all my other friends gathered.
âThen shall we depart? Is there anyone missing?â
âfor a moment. Wodanaz. Wouldnât it be better to check where the guys who left first are and then leave?â
Asan raised his hand and asked.
Then Lee Han asked what he was talking about.
âWe have to find the guys who left after playing first. I donât have time.â
âuh?â
Asan was taken aback, the other students opened their mouths.
âYou are right.â
âi think so too.â
âMe tooâ¦â
âIs that so?â
Asan felt that his common sense was slightly shaken by the resolute answers of his eminent friends.
* * *
Ratford thought seriously before opening his mouth.
âI think I need to move the location of my wallet at least onceâ¦â
âNo, no!â
âIf you get caught, it will be a big deal!â
Friends urgently stopped Ratford from pickpocketing.
Of course, the silver coins were tight, but that didnât mean I couldnât have a friend steal it.
âWith less, you will be able to play with less.â
âBut what if the professor gets angry?â
âare you okay. Even if you get angry, you wonât be able to do anything.â
âBut what if Wodanaz gets angry?â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦You bastard, why are you talking so ominously?â
The students of the White Tiger Tower, who were mentioned by their friends, were scolded all at once.
âThen letâs all find a way to make money.â
âThatâs a good idea. Even Wodanaz made money every time he came out.â
At Ratfordâs words, the students became agitated.
âWith what? Did he threaten you with a cane?â
âI think I heard you ran a commissionâ¦â
âGoing out? In that short time?â
âWe canât do that⦠letâs find something else.â
Black Turtle Top Lenzide came up with a realistic idea.
âIf you walk around the store, there will be places that need magic. When I helped out at the cooksâ guild, I often called wizards. If you said you came from Ein Lorgard, they would gladly accept it.â
Since most of those who boasted of being wizards were dubious and incompetent, there was no surer guarantee than being from Einrogard.
The problem isâ¦
âSo Renjid. Are you saying that we, who have just come out of Einrogard, walk around the shops next to the street and say, âI am from Einrogarde, please do something for meâ?â
When the students of the Blue Dragon Tower and the White Tiger Tower asked in sharp voices, Renji was slightly discouraged.
âIs it a bit like that?â
âno. Is that a very good idea?â
âLetâs do it quickly.â
ââ¦â¦â
The students of the Black Tortoise Tower whispered as they saw the students of the Blue Dragon Tower and the White Tiger Tower running in a hurry, fearing that they would lose their good seats.
âAre those children from aristocratic families?â
The boulevard that started from the water statue, the pride of the city of Isran, and led to the port was so noisy that you couldnât even hear the noise of the neighbors due to the shops and buildings that had been standing there for a long time.
The stalls in front of the store were filled with seafood from the port and baked sweets sprinkled with southern sugar, and next to it, customers who occupied tables in cafes and teahouses basked in the sun and watched people.
These stores were bright enough for even the cityâs kids to come and go, but they werenât the only ones.
The alleys connected to the tavern and the inn were full of antique shops that dealt with dubious stolen items to shops that sold artifacts that were unknown whether they worked or not.
Travelers entering these alleys were only a handful of the many, many crowds, and the atmosphere that emanated from them was gloomy.
âI came out of Ein Lorgard, so why are you doing this? Uh⦠so⦠that⦠to improve my magic skills.â
âThatâs right. Magic skills are trivial actions in everyday lifeâ¦â
In response to the store ownerâs question, the students did their best to make excuses.
Fortunately, the owner of the shop was impressed by those words.
âOopsâ¦! Sorcerers are truly amazing! Wouldnât you like to do such a dirty job? Do you really want to become this silver coin? Iâm sorryâ¦â
âNo. Training is important to us.â
After convincing the shopkeeper, Renjid asked Bartrek.
âHey, youâre quick. How did you come up with that?â
âI copied what Wardanaz said.â
ââ¦â¦â
Anyway, the students who found the place worked hard.
He puts fire resistance magic on the inside of the furnace and fixes scrolls that can be fixed while scrollingâ¦
well done!
âthank you. Wizard.â
The shopkeeper politely bowed his head and held out a bag of silver coins.
The students dignifiedly accepted the pouch and turned around to exclaim.
âMoney!!â
âWith this money, there is no need for Einrogard! You canât go back! Letâs start a new school!â
âgood idea!!â
ââ¦???â
Intoxicated by the charm of the silver coin, the students ran out screaming madly.
âomgâ¦!â
âwhy? whatâs the matter?â
âHey, Wodanaz! Next to the red hair!â
âomg!â
Students gasped for breath.
He could see Lee Han and his friends walking from afar.
âIâm here to catch you!â
I barely made a silver coin, but I couldnât just end here.
The students gritted their teeth and lowered their posture.
âuh. You canât call Mr. Wodanazâ¦â
âHey! Shut up Ratford!â
âEup! yup yup yup!â
âIn the opposite direction! In the opposite direction!â
Friends hurriedly ran away. It was not difficult to escape because there were so many people.
âI livedâ¦!â
âI canât get caught yet! We have to play more!â
âokay. Although we have different towers, we will join forces this time.â
âIs this something to be treasured?â
Ratford was puzzled as he watched the friends making up their minds with each otherâs solemn voices.
Usually when I take a test at schoolâ¦
âThey must be wizards.â
â!â
The students were startled by the voices coming from inside the alley.
A long robe that completely covered the face. The voice from inside was so strange that I couldnât guess the race or gender.
In front of the stranger who was sitting on a chair, there was a table made of carved paulownia wood, and on it were carved strange patterns that had never been seen before.
âWouldnât you like to take a look at the future?â
ââ¦â¦â
âAre you a primitive wizard?â
âIt will be a quack. what.â
In the frontiers of the empire, there were still unusual magics whose principles had not been discovered by the imperial magic system or whose existence was unknown.
Such magic was called primitive magic in the world of Imperial magic.
However, the person who offered to see the future in a place like this was far more likely to be a quack swindler than a wizard of primitive foresight.
âKuhuhh⦠I understand why you donât believe me. So what about this one? I wonât take any money. And what if I donât fit? I will give you one silver coin backwards.â
âohâ¦!â
If it had been Lee Han, he would have said âthose who do that for free in the world are more suspiciousâ, but the students were thirsty for silver coins right now.
Bartrek was the first to speak.
âLetâs try it. What family am I from?â
âThere is no need to be hasty. ruler. Put your hand up here.â
Wizard Ianobâs eyes flashed in his robes.
Now this plain-looking wooden table was an extraordinary artifact with eight enchantments.
Of course, just because it had eight spells on it didnât mean that the artifact was powerful or expensive.
Surprisingly, this artifact with eight spells had no effect.
I just layered the eight spells on top of each other elaborately so it didnât look like there was any magic at all.
In a way, I wondered, âWhy do such pranks with such abilities?â, but truly outstanding wizards were different.
A normally excellent wizard would not notice anything when he put his hand on the tableâ¦
but a wizard of extraordinary talent, one of the best in the Empire, would be first surprised to find that this table is enchanted, and yet feel no trace of it. You will be secondarily surprised by the sophistication that is not known.
It was.
This table was an artifact created by Antagondals.
âTo think that a boulder could be covered with just one simple artifact.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ianob once again admired the archmageâs ability.
An extraordinary and outstanding wizard could not stop his curiosity the moment he realized this artifact.
Who created this artifact?
Why did you come up with this idea?
What else does the wizard who made this know?
Such curiosity was like a curse that inevitably follows natural talent, and I couldnât resist it.
âI uploaded it.â
âDid you upload everything?â
âyes. Did you upload it?â
Ianob wore a disappointed expression in his robes.
The dull dwarf in front of me didnât seem to know what it was.
Ianop gave it a silver coin and threw it loosely to make it go out.
âYou⦠come from a family of knights.â
âomg! how!â
ââ¦â¦â
âJust a little more! Guess a little more! What kind of magic am I good at?â
ââ¦â¦â
Ianob wanted to quickly check on the other students, but he really hated Batrek for not leaving.
âRight now I am learning alchemy, but there are so many excellent students in alchemy that I am worried. Besides, Iâm a knight family again, right? I wonder if alchemy is the right path for me, but my family is well-versed in alchemy, so why not throw it away again⦠Oh. It is difficult.â
ââ¦Yes⦠but this is the future, Mage. Itâs not
like you can match it that accuratelyâ¦â Ianobâs evasive words seemed to have given Bartrek more confidence.
Originally, scammers say they can hit things that canât be matched!
The opposite, Ianopâ¦
âOmen! Watch for any signs! What should I do?â
âWhy does this talentless bastard keep going?â
Ianob held back the swearing and threw it again roughly.
ââ¦I see a dragon and a noble archmage. Follow these signs.â
ââ¦omg. Isnât that wordanaz?â
âIt looks like Wodanaz???â
The students were shocked and whispered.
When it comes to nobles, the only thing that came to mind was Wardanaj.
Besides, he has a lot of magical power like a dragonâ¦
âFollow Wodanaz?â
âIâm sure it will be helpful in the futureâ¦â
âBut you get beaten up.â
âWere you guys there?â
At the familiar voice, the students screamed in shrill voices.
Outside the alley, Lee Han and his friends were standing holding cotton candy.
âWoah Wo Danazâ¦! my please Please have mercy! Please have mercy!â
âWhat are these guys doing?â
Ianop was bewildered.
It looks like the same student, but isnât it trembling as if some escaped criminal met the bailiff?
