Chapter 548

“No… Think carefully.”

Perhaps feeling the disciple’s sad gaze, Professor Wooreeul started to explain.

“Now I’m trying to stop the spirits from coming, I’m not trying to make enemies with the spirits.”

Wizards who knew how to command spirits were largely divided into two categories.

One is those who use force to threaten and suppress the spirits.

These were not mainstream in the Empire. Basically, this was because it did more harm than good.

How hard the black magicians were trying to buy the favor of the ferocious undead right now.

There was nothing good about being on bad terms with the beings of the other world.

In addition, this notoriety was contagious, so if you continued to hang out with a notorious wizard, that wizard also became notorious among the spirits.

As such, those who threatened and suppressed the spirits by force were usually active in the shadows or shadows of the empire.

However, those who made a contract by talking to the spirits and forming friendships were different.

Those who were the mainstream in the empire were relatively safe from the threat of the spirits, and the good reputation built up with one spirit often passed on to other spirits.

The more they get along well with each other, the more favorable the spirits are, and the more powerful the spirits become, the more advantageous it is to negotiate…

“Professor. professor.”

“why?”

“Why are you telling me that now?”

Lee Han asked with a slightly serious expression.

“I can’t believe I belong to the former…?”

“No, no!”

The thunder steps were hot.

In fact, it was a subtle comparison.

“Haven’t you ever threatened or suppressed a spirit?”

“uh. It’s okay to fight fair and square with spirits, right? It was more like self-defense.”

Professor Wurestep naturally took a step back and then spoke.

“Anyway, the important thing is that I’m trying to keep the spirits from coming, not making enemies with them.”

People like Professor Thunderstruck, who valued friendship with the spirits, tended to respond moderately even if the spirits played pranks or harmed them.

To the extent that even if the cold spirits appeared and disturbed the cabin, they wouldn’t be able to get in?

If he had the skills of Professor Thunderwalker, he could have ridden the spirits as much as he wanted, but he didn’t want to pout the spirits for no reason.

“…??”

Lee Han tilted his head once more.

I listened to the end, but I didn’t understand.

“Uh… So don’t you mean to block the approach of the spirits moderately so that they don’t get angry?”

“yes.”

“But what does that have to do with my contract being unreasonable?”

“Well, wodhanaz, if you chase after me to sign a contract, it might feel like a threat or oppression…?”

“……”

Lee Han was suddenly speechless.

Professor Thunderwalk felt a little sorry for the boy of the Wodanaz family, as he seemed to have been sincerely hurt.

“hey. don’t be too sad Because you don’t have to be loved by the spirits. look at the principal Aren’t you a great wizard despite the spirits hating you so much?”

“Aren’t you as strong as the former principal?”

“I don’t think it will take long…”

“Yes?”

“no. never mind.”

Because Professor Wooregeol was a truly wise man, he showed skill in not making enemies of his students who could become powerful wizards in the future.

“okay. I heard you signed a contract with a spirit the other day?”

“Yes… I managed to make a contract using the pattern of the spirit that has the title of tribune of the sea and rainstorm.”

“……”

Professor Wooregeol regretted that he had brought up the word for nothing.

In this situation, there was no need to bring up the sad fact that a contract could barely be signed without the help of a spirit lord.

“What happened once can happen again. I’m sure the spirits will do the same. Trust me. Wodanaz. Because the spirit realm is infinite.”

“Then, if I see a spirit that doesn’t avoid me, can I try a contract?”

“no.”

“……”

* * *

Prof. Lee Han calmed down by doubling the food reward, but Lee Han continued to grumble.

“As a teacher, blocking the challenge of a disciple.”

“……”

“……”

Priestess Cyana, who had followed Lee Han to help, and Yoner exchanged glances with puzzled faces.

-What happened?

-I think they didn’t let me make a contract with the spirits…

-Why?

– If bad rumors spread among the spirits, it will be difficult when the professor calls.

– Why do bad rumors spread among the spirits?

-That’s… um… I’m not sure?

As Yoner spoke, he slightly changed the subject.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t explain it without telling my friend something bad.

Bubbling-

“Is this enough?”

“You are wonderful.”

Priest Cyana looked at Yoner with a look of respect.

The priests of the Flemain Church respected those who excelled in alchemy, but among them, those who made a lot of donations to the Flemain Church were especially respected.

Eight herbs, three lumps of mud in the shade, and two handfuls of coarse hair from the beast are now boiling in the pot.

I wasn’t trying to boil poison to kill anyone, I was boiling soup that the spirits like.

There were many cases in which mischievous spirits who were mischievous and mischievous would return without showing any ill will when fed to their full.

“Could you call the spirit for a second?”

Yoner nodded and summoned a spirit. A spirit that seems to have shaped the wind into a flying squirrel appeared and quietly approached the pot.

“You seem to be eating well? Han Lee. Would you like to check it out too?”

Actually, there was no need to summon Lee Han’s spirit, but Yoner spoke to Lee Han to soothe his sullen mood.

It is not necessary to make a contract with the new spirit.

If he reminded him of the importance of the spirit he had just contracted with, that thought might easily disappear.

“for a moment.”

Upon hearing this, Lee Han also took out his staff and summoned the spirit.

It might be because of Yoner’s mood, but his face seemed to lighten slightly.

A sparrow spirit made of ferocious flames appeared from the air and looked around the students in the hut with intense eyes

.

Yoner and Priest Cyana looked at each other for a moment. Even without saying anything, we could understand each other’s hearts.

‘now?’

“and! AWESOME!!”

“What a cute sparrow spirit!!”

“okay?”

Lee Han looked at the Sparrow Spirit slightly delighted.

I suffered so much that I signed a contract, but I couldn’t help but be happy.

“The kid is a bit smart. The last time I called you, I asked you to fly through the books. It didn’t burn at all and flew well.”

“Is it really that great?”

“Isn’t that great?”

Lee Han said with satisfaction at the enthusiastic response of the two friends.

“Would you like to try some of this?”

Pointing at the pot with the tip of her finger, the sparrow spirit nodded modestly as if acknowledging it.

Then he flew up and took a bite of the firewood under the pot and set it on fire.

Hwareuk!

The sparrow spirit returned to its original position without a break. I could feel the stubbornness like an iron wall that he would not disobey even the slightest order.

“No… try this soup…”

The sparrow spirit was startled. He flapped his wings as if asking if he could eat them.

“…just eat some.”

The sparrow spirit flew in knowingly. After bumping its beak up and down a few times, the sparrow spirit immediately returned to its original position without being greedy.

Yihan looked at Yoner’s flying squirrel spirit.

No matter what he was doing next to him, he was still eating with his cheeks inflated.

On the other hand, his own sparrow spirit, like a soldier who has been on the battlefield for over ten years, is as if he is not even a little bit vigilant…

“Looks like he’s scared…”

“Shh.”

Yoner hastily stabbed Priest Cyana in the side. Priestess Siana shut her mouth because she wanted to say sorry.

“……”

“……”

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

“Let’s just get to work.”

“yes!”

“good idea!”

* * *

Professor Thunderwalk’s work was simple, but the wisdom in it was extraordinary.

Draw a simple magic circle around the hut and vegetable garden, and follow the magic circle to place the potion that the spirits hate on the way the spirits can enter, and the potion the spirits like on the way the spirits can go out.

Although the words seem easy, it was only possible if you knew all the potions that the spirits liked, the potion that the spirits disliked, and the magic circle that could induce the spirits to move.

Priests Yoner and Cyana honestly admired and took notes.

“Incredible. I thought I just had to chase the spirits.”

“me too. I didn’t know how to use a potion like this.”

Professor Wooregeol said while stroking his beard, as if he was pleased with the passionate attitude of his talented students in alchemy.

“okay. In fact, alchemists learn not only in lectures, but also outside of lectures. Did you write down the recipe?”

“yes.”

The Dwarf Professor deftly put the decoction into a bowl.

The decoction the spirits hate is in a bone bowl, and the decoction the spirits like is in a wooden bowl.

“Ugh. It must be a bit lacking.”

Professor Thunderwalk realized that the amount of decoction, which the spirits hate, was slightly insufficient.

“I’ll bring out a new one.”

“no. Tarrasque’s scales in the hut are already used up. If you are a good alchemist, you should know how to substitute in this situation.”

The eyes of Yoner and Priest Cyana twinkled at Professor Thunderwalker’s words.

Lee Han, with a carefree expression, placed the finished potion in a perfect order of the magic circle from the side.

“ruler. tell me everyone How can I replace it?”

Tarasque’s scales were an element of existence that the spirits feared and felt uncomfortable with.

If there is no reagent that will give you such a sense of intimidation, how can you substitute it?

“I want to try the flame tree cloves. Wouldn’t the cold spirits be repulsed?”

“Good idea. But there are two mistakes. One is that it’s not just frost elementals. As the number of cold spirits increases, other spirits can come to play. The other is that the flowing stone inside here cancels out the effect.”

“ah!”

“this…!”

The two gifted alchemists let out an exclamation of regret.

Priestess Siana thought hard and then said.

“How about using the leaves of the acal tree? It gives a confusion effect, so the spirits…”

“Oh. It’s a method that can be used when in a hurry, but not in the current situation. Because drunken spirits can be angry.”

The thunder walk professor laughed and continued.

“At times like this, what we need is the flashing inspiration of an alchemist. Wodanaz. Come here for a second.”

“?”

In the meantime, Lee Han, who had finished all the magic circles, approached, wondering.

“Did you call?”

“Will you lend me a strand of your hair?”

While Lee Han was puzzled, he pulled out a strand of hair and handed it to Professor Thunderwalker.

Professor Thunderstruck threw his hair into the pot. The color of the decoction changed, and it was completed as it was.

“ruler. The effect would certainly be weaker than Tarrasque’s scales, but this should be enough. Do you all know? How to tactfully find what you need around you?”

“……”

Lee Han stared at the professor.

After laughing, Professor Thunderstruck realized belatedly that he cleared his throat.

“Is it education? It’s for your friends, so you’re not upset, are you?”

“……”

“Okay. okay. Take the jar of pickles with you in the cellar! That’s precious!”

* * *

After finishing the arrangement, while waiting for the spirits to come from the garden, Han Lee began to persuade his friends.

“I wasn’t particularly angry or upset. you all know I can’t be mad at you for something like this.”

“Ughhh.”

“Sure.”

“There are several magics to learn, but there’s no way you’ll get angry if one is blocked.”

A squirrel made of ice appeared in the distance. Judging by the spirit’s energy, it was a cold spirit.

The spirit in the form of a squirrel circled along the path of the magic circle, smelled the elimination potion, and quickly retreated.

“It works well.”

“It works well. Thanks to both of you.”

Yoner praised Yihan and Priest Siana.

Upon hearing those words, Priest Shiana felt the pressure to praise them as well.

“Actually, thanks to the two of you. Especially Wodanaz’s hair… Ah. Alas.”

“……”

“……”

The fire in the fireplace was clearly burning, but somehow it felt cold.

Kung-

“?”

Sipping ginger tea, Yoner witnessed a bubbling figure running ferociously in the distance.

The momentum of ignoring the installed magic circle and running was unusual.

‘Should I stop?! He said that you shouldn’t attack the spirits for a while…’

“Spark it!”

A bolt of lightning ricocheted from the tip of Lee Han’s staff.

Enemies hit by lightning rolled over with a painful sound. Only then did Priest Siana, who confirmed her appearance, shouted.

“It’s undead!”

“what? Was it undead?”

“Lee Han?”

“You said it wrong. You said you thought you were undead.”
