Chapter 502

“If I leave it as it is, it’ll be annoying.”

Headmaster Skeleton got a little nervous when Ipadur started to show interest in Yihan.

It wasn’t a problem for Ipadur to be interested in Lee Han, but when it got involved with Einrogard, it became quite annoying.

-So how did the spirit flood get resolved?

-That’s Wodanaz…

-There’s still ice in this hallway. for a moment! Gonadaltes Ball. Isn’t this the frost giant’s ice!? Has a frost giant ever been summoned to your school!? who solved it?

-That’s also the guy from Wodanaz…

Originally, there was nothing wrong with making a song praising a student.

However, in the case of Lee Han, it was a little…

that much.

The song ‘1st year student succeeded in lightning elemental magic’ made the people of the empire smile, but the song ‘1st year student dueled with the king of the frost giant’ would make the people of the empire astonished.

As usual, while the emperor is frowning and saying, ‘A small mistake,’ in the capital city, songs like ‘a first-year student fought the king of the frost giants’ spread… Guy

. Your face is full of tiredness!

“The principal is a magic criminal.”

The skeleton headmaster brought a bone hand out of the air and covered Lee Han’s mouth.

It wasn’t a very good idea to say ‘I learned the secret arts to fight sorceresses’ in front of Ipadur.

Good job! Just go in and get some rest. Sorry to trouble you this morning!

“Am I still okay?”

no! Go in and get some rest!

Lee Han was puzzled, not knowing what the skeleton principal was thinking.

I tried to do my best for what I received, but…

‘Why are you like that?’

First of all, Lee Han nodded as the headmaster of the skull seemed to be desperately trying to let him in.

“All right. See you next time then. Mr. Ifadur. It was an honor to meet you today.”

“I was also honored.”

The old minstrel smiled happily and said.

It wasn’t a greeting, it was sincere.

As a bard, it was rare for a student to have such an exciting story package.

‘He sent it back somehow.’

Headmaster Skeleton relieved his worries inwardly.

Now that Wodanaz has returned, Ipadur will now be interested in other places in Einrogard.

…that was a problem on its own, but…

Ah. Professor Woorestep.

From far away, I saw a dwarf professor walking with a bunch of herbs soaked in moonlight in one hand.

Recognizing Ipadur’s face, Professor Thunderwalker was very pleased and said,

“Are you not Ipadur? I heard you were invited, but I never thought you would come!”

……

The skeleton headmaster looked at Professor Thunderwalker with trembling eyes.

Of course, there were cases where some discerning notables of the empire did not come to Einrogard even if they were invited, but to say it openly like that.

Fortunately, Ipadur didn’t seem to understand the meaning of those words.

“It’s nice to welcome everyone.”

Ipadur smiled gently, wrinkled, delighted with Professor Thunderwalker’s welcome.

“Students are welcomed like this, so I don’t know how to repay the favor…” “

Oh. Have you met the students?”

“yes. A student from the Wardanaz family helped guide the way.”

“aha. Wodanazga. It hasn’t been long since I went on a trip and fought the Sea Serpent, but he’s a very diligent guy.”

“You mean Mr. Serpent?!”

Ipadur was startled and took out a quill.

Seeing that, the Headmaster Skeleton sighed.

‘They’re all useless guys!’

* * *

Weekend afternoon.

“Wardanaz. here.”

The White Tiger Tower students brought a box and set it down in front of Lee Han.

I went to check the location of the ingredients I heard from the other person through the mirror.

“Did anything happen?”

“uh? I didn’t.”

‘hmm.’

Lee Han was a little surprised.

The opponent behind the mirror didn’t do anything special than expected.

‘I didn’t cheat… Then it’s very likely that the Black Tortoise Pagoda or the White Tiger Pagoda really aren’t.’

Lee Han secretly cursed at the White Tiger Tower in front of the White Tiger Tower students.

“i get it. Everyone has worked hard, take this.”

Pointing to the food promised as a condition of the deal, the White Tiger Tower students quickly grabbed it…

…and hesitated instead of going.

“?”

“Wardanaz. That…”

‘What?’

They weren’t usually hesitant like that, but Lee Han was more curious.

What happened when you brought the ingredients?

“Tell me honestly. because i won’t say anything What happened?”

At Lee Han’s kind words, the White Tiger Tower friends gained courage and asked.

“I heard you met Ipadur?”

“I heard that you are helping Ipadur-nim’s work…”

“……”

Exactly!

“evil! Sol I told you to be honest! You said you didn’t say anything!”

right! right!

Lee Han hit them one more time with his cane and then waved his hand away.

“good. Stop talking nonsense.”

I was nervous because I had to make a foresight potion with a high level of difficulty, but you were talking nonsense.

The White Tiger Tower students grumble and leave, and Lee Han’s real friends come to help.

Reliable friends who are achieving outstanding grades in alchemy lectures.

Yoner pulled out a chair and sat down beside him.

“really. I heard that Ipadur-nim came?”

“…Uh, do you know Mr. Ipadur?”

Lee Han looked at Yoner with a hopeless face.

I thought Yoner didn’t know!

“Of course you know…? I’ve been invited by my family from time to time. My sister likes to sing too.”

“……”

Lee Han slightly frustrated, Yoner tilted his head as if asking why.

‘I thought they were comrades.’

I thought I was only reading the economic section of the imperial newspaper, but the basic level of the Meikin family was different from the basic level of the Wardanaz family.

Asan, as well as the White Tiger Tower and even the Phoenix Tower students, talked about Ipadur.

“I saw it with my own two eyes. He took the flute out of his shell…”

“You said your song was evaluated?”

“I was criticized for the lyrics, but I still got quite a few compliments. I want to send it to my brother and sister too.”

Lee Han swallowed his sullen feelings and refined the ingredients.

Seeing that even the princess was talking about Ifpadur, it must have been really famous.

“Wardanaz. Wodanaz.”

“?”

Nilia whispered softly as she poked Yihan.

“Who is Ipadur?”

“…You are the only one, Nilia.”

“Why are you doing that? suddenly!”

* * *

Even if you gathered all the ingredients, making a high-difficulty potion wasn’t easy.

Even though Saturday had been used and Sunday came, Lee Han was hanging in front of the pot.

“I’m worried about the amount of material.”

“If you fail any more, sure.”

Put in the exact amount of ingredients without even the slightest error, memorize spells by finely adjusting magic power, and when the potion boils, stir it in the prescribed direction… No matter how talented Lee Han is, he can’t

succeed in all of these things at once. couldn’t There have already been several failures.

The good news is that there has never been a failure at a level where you have to do it from scratch.

However, it was true that the more minor failures were repeated, the less material was used. Lee Han tossed the blue Meanil flower into the pot once again with a nervous expression on his face.

Then, he fed the basilisk eggs placed next to him.

“……”

Priestess Shiana, who was watching from the side, was dumbfounded.

He said that he was nervous, but seeing that he calmly took care of the eggs, he didn’t seem nervous at all.

‘Are you nervous?’

It was then.

Priestess Cyana exclaimed in surprise.

“Uh… uh?! Mr. Wodanaz! Mr. Wodanaz!”

“Know. Siana Priestess! do not worry!”

Lee Han quickly added copper calcine and poured cold fresh water over it to stop the potion from boiling over.

But even that was not enough. The potion, which generates its own heat, simmered as if it were melting a pot.

‘I knew it would be like this!’

However, Lee Han was also prepared thanks to experiencing several failures.

Immediately cast cold magic and prevented the temperature of the cauldron from rising any further.

“Cold…!”

Originally, this heat generated during the alchemy process had to be solved with a combination of ingredients or special reagents, not with separate magic.

If you don’t know the proper cause, even if you use magic to stop it, the problem will continue to recur.

However, Lee Han continued to use magic as if he did not know.

‘If the problem recurs, stop it again with magic!’

If I couldn’t solve the problem with my brain, I was thinking of competing with horsepower.

“Mr. Wardanaz!”

“I blocked everything, Priestess Cyana! Don’t worry!”

“That’s not it, Albo! egg!”

“??”

Lee Han inadvertently turned his head.

Blasphemy!

There were cracks all over the surface of the basilisk egg. It was gold that looked like it would break even now.

jump!

At that moment, the egg cracked and something the size of a scarf crawled out from inside.

Seeing Lee Han, the baby basilisk crawled away as if it were happy. It was like a newborn chick running towards its parents.

However, Lee Han reacted differently than Basilisk expected.

“Shiana, lay down and close your eyes!”

Yihan shouted as he covered the baby basilisk’s eyes with his hand. Priestess Siana was shocked and fell on her face.

-……

The baby basilisk looked at Lee Han with hurt eyes.

* * *

After a brief fuss (three small pots tipped over and a chest broken), Lee Han realized that baby basilisks don’t always fire evil eyes.

If you don’t recognize it as an enemy, you won’t even shoot it.

‘But I should cover my eyes just in case.’

Lee Han closed the baby basilisk’s eyes with silk. The baby basilisk hit Yihan’s wrist with its tail as if very dissatisfied.

“Priestess Siana. Are you okay?”

“ah. yes. are you okay. It was a real basilisk, by the way! I thought the people of the White Tiger Tower were talking nonsense…”

Priest Siana was also quite acerbic. Lee Han nodded and said.

“I was raised at the request of the professor. But… it came out much sooner than expected.”

Although Lee Han was not an authority on raising basilisks, from what he had learned so far, it was clear that basilisks appeared too early.

“Iknow, right? Aren’t you fed too much?”

“I kept the amount, but…”

“Did you put the egg in a place with too much magical power?”

“I can’t put an egg in a place like that…”

Lee Han hesitated.

Come to think of it, I’ve been carrying a lot of eggs lately.

“…though I had a lot of them.”

At Lee Han’s words, Priest Siana smiled.

“What nonsense are you talking about, Mr. Wardanaz? If the basilisk egg absorbed Wodanaz’s magical powers, of course Woudanaj would have noticed. Wodanaz-sama is no fool, and there’s no way he wouldn’t notice.”

“……”

Lee Han was slightly hurt. The basilisk wrapped around him like a scarf patted Lee Han as if to comfort him.

“You don’t have to worry too much about it, though. Even if you come out quickly, you are only small, but you can do everything you need to do.”

Priestess Cyana took out a sharpened brass syringe.

It was one of the alchemist’s tools used to extract liquid by inserting it into a plant or animal.

“ruler. Mr. Wodanaz. Hold on.”

“…Excuse me, but what are you going to do, Priest Shiana?”

“Huh? You didn’t raise it to extract venom, did you?”

The basilisk wrapped around his neck trembled as if he sensed something ominous.
