Episode 638
âHow well I treated you! During break time, I thought you would be free, so I played a wizard card game with you!â
âMaybe thatâs why he ran away?â
Yoner had doubts in his heart, but out of consideration for his relatives, he decided not to ask any more.
âI know, I know, so be quiet. I will take you to the mansion.â
âCanât you take my wagon too?â
Gainando asked like the most pitiful person in the world.
Starting with the gift to Lee Han, all kinds of luggage were in the wagon.
Of course, Yoner was not easily fooled. I asked, looking at Kainan-do as if it was absurd.
âWho will drive it?â
âI can drive a wagon, butâ¦â
Nylia said cautiously. Then Yoner grabbed Niliaâs hand as if it was unnecessary.
âno. No need to bother.â
âYou can drive it! You can drive it!â
âWe should put a device next to the wagon so that it wonât catch on in the futureâ¦â
Nilia hurriedly replied to Yonerâs muttering.
âIt doesnât bother me too much. I can do this much.â
âI wouldnât bother driving a carriage.â
Even if they knew how to ride a horse, nobles who could drive a carriage were surprisingly rare.
There were coachmen, but above all, driving a wagon itself was a fairly difficult skill.
I had to manage the breathing and direction of several horsesâ¦
âHow many? It would be a bit difficult with four, but somehowâ¦â
âEight.â
ââ¦â¦â
Nilia hesitated at Gainandoâs answer. Yoner let out a deep sigh and asked.
âWhy did you come all the way here with eight wagons?â
âItâs coolâ¦â
âEight is too much.â
Nilia was embarrassed. To say that it is at best and then change the words.
âOf course not. donât mind.â
âCanât we try this once?â
âNilia. Just shoot them.â
Gainando âinhaledâ and shut his mouth. Yoner twisted and twisted his hair and said.
âThere is only one way.â
âYonerâ¦!â
Gainando looked at his relative with expectant eyes.
After all, he wasnât a wizard for nothing.
Why be a wizard if you canât solve it with magic when youâre in trouble?
âGo to the wagon and pack only the things you want to put in your bag. Donât forget this one-line gift.â
ââ¦What about the carriage?â
âI have to leave it. What should I do?â
ââ¦â¦â
Gainando opened and closed his mouth, then opened and closed it, then went out with his droopy shoulders.
Then he quickly turned around and shouted.
âIf you leave first, I will never forgive you next semester!â
âokay. okay.â
Neelia grumbled as if it was absurd as she watched Guinando walk away.
âLook at what you say. I gave you a ride at best, but you doubted that I would leave first!â
âthatâs right. After going to Einrogard, my eyesight became quicker. How did know?â
ââ¦â¦â

Arsil Wodanaz drank the lemon tea Lee Han made and clapped in admiration.
Seeing him praising his younger brotherâs skills, Alcicle also smiled heartily.
âolder brother. I bought this lemon compote from the village.â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
Arsil praised again without being embarrassed.
âYou say that the skill of making tea is amazing? But this is only waterâ¦â
âWodanaz. stop. stop.â
Alcicle stopped him without realizing it.
Even though I didnât know one side, I couldnât watch it anymore.
Meantime, the meal was served. It was a frugal but hearty meal.
Freshly baked bread, jam, rice, eggs and meat fried in oil (Lee Hanâs favorite dish), and Alcicleâs portion of cooked sardines.
The workmanship and each ingredient was excellent, but the menu was surprisingly few and frugal. Alcicle was surprised to see the two brothers eating casually.
âDo you usually eat like this?â
âYou usually eat more simply, donât you? I usually eat alone.â
Today, I came to Arsil and Alcicle to dress like this, but I usually make it simpler.
Alcicle looked at Lee Han in amazement.
âDid you usually eat like a slave like this?â
ââ¦Oh no. Itâs because Iâm comfortable.â
The knights were busy patrolling the outside, and Yihan was eating alone, and even if he dressed up grandiosely, it was only burdensome.
Arsil nodded and said.
âno. older brother. Itâs not because Iâm frugal and nice⦠Itâs just easy to eat⦠You said what I served you at that time was delicious? What are you talking about? That sandwich is just⦠stuffed and covered with bread.â
Arsil didnât care and praised it with a thumbs up saying it was good.
Alcicle realized that he had just been mistaken.
âIt must have just been something strange!â
It was clear that he ate simply because he did not have enough time to study magic.
âCertainly, itâs probably not like this that Ein Lorgard doesnât serve meals.â
The meal came out fine, but if that was the expression of not being able to eat because of studyingâ¦
Alcicle thought to herself that if the Einroguard students heard it, they would rush in and pluck their feathers.
After a light meal, Arsil started laying out junk on the table.
A glass bottle of unidentified oil, an old notebook, an umbrella with a pattern engraved on it, a pencil case made of tough leather, a jade comb, an ink bottle of ever-changing ink, a quill sharpening stone, etc⦠Alcicle wondered why he had brought it out all of a sudden
.
âolder brother. I chose that cloak. I wonât change it. Are you saying itâs not fun? itâs okay. I like boring stuff. Is that an umbrella that calls for lightning? No, isnât it dangerous if the things you use on a rainy day cause lightning? I will just wear a cape.â
ââ¦â¦â
Realizing what the two were talking about, Alcicle carefully checked nearby objects.
It looked like an ordinary whetstone, but the stone was enchanted. It was magic that made the sword attack nearby enemies on its own.
Including their owners!
ââ¦Doesnât he hate his younger brother?â
Alcicle thought so and raised his head.
However, with an innocent face, Arsil happily recommended this and that to his younger brother. There was no malice anywhere on his face.
âYou want to give it to Pengerin too? that wouldnât be bad Mr Penguin. My brother wants to give you a present. Letâs pick one.â
âWait a minute, everything here is dangerous.â
âWhat are you saying? Not to that extent. If it was that dangerous, I wouldnât even give it as a gift. now.â
âThis child! He dedicated me to his brother!â
Alcicle was horrified to realize that Lee Han had sacrificed himself.
When his older brother kept trying to give him a dangerous object as a present from his heart, he turned the arrow and threw it at him.
âIâm fineâ¦â
âMy older brother came as a guest, but he said he wouldnât be refusing a gift.â
âYou really said that, right?â
Alcicle was furious, but there was no way out.
Since he came as a guest, he could not refuse the gift without any particular reason. Because the face of the other party was also a related issue.
âWith the least risk as possible⦠uh. I hope someone will come inâ¦â
Suddenly!
âhello.â
â!â
As Yoner and his party entered, Alcicle and Lee Han jumped to their feet.
âCome on!!â
âYou are finally here!â
âDid you wait that long?â
Yoner and his friends were taken aback by the reaction that was much hotter than expected.
Even if it was Lee Han, Mr. Alcicle of the Pengerin family wondered why he was doing that.
âWasnât there anything difficult coming along?â
âThere wasnât anything difficult, but arenât there too few people? It seems that there are fewer people than the mountains.â
âokay? Is that enough?â
Lee Han tilted his head at Niliaâs words.
It doesnât seem that unusualâ¦
âAnything else?â
ââ¦Youâre not the only one who doesnât send letters to me, are youâ¦?â
Nilia looked around and whispered softly.
âhaha. Of course you must be wrong. He said he sent it right away the other day.â
âIsnât it? I knew it.â
Nilia, worried that she might have been on the list of âpeople who donât send lettersâ because of nonsense, let out a sigh of relief.
âWho is this person here?â
âah. you are my brother Arsil of the Wardanaz family. Itâs going to be hard to understand what youâre saying because heâs talking in the spirit language.â
â???â
â??!â
While Yoner and Nilia were shocked, Lee Han talked to Gainando.
âwhatâs the matter? Like someone who even had their wagon stolen?â
âIt was actually stolen!!â
âwhat? why? what happened?â
Yoner and Nilia, who knew the truth, werenât curious about that.
Rather, I was much more curious about how Lee Hanâs older brother was talking.
âWait, what is it like talking in elemental languageâ¦â
âWhat the hell is thatâ¦â
âWait a minute. Listen to this first.â
After appeasing his friends, Lee Han asked why the carriage in Gainando had disappeared.
After hearing it, the carriage did not disappear. The coachman had suddenly run away.
âHave you ever forced me to read a magazine, used black magic, begged me to buy snacks, asked me to do my homework for me, or asked me to play a wizard card game?â
ââ¦I told you to play the wizard card gameâ¦â
âI guess thatâs why you ran away.â
âNo, is it such a big sin to ask to play a magicianâs card game!?â
âIf you insist on doing it, it becomes a sin. You can find the wagon later. No one will have it.â
Nilia was puzzled by Lee Hanâs words.
The village in front of the manor was quite large. And the bigger the scale, the larger the number of thieves.
Right now, the villages under the northern mountains will disappear soon if you tie up a horse without a guard, so is there any reason to be okay here?
âwhy? Someone might take it.â
âhaha. You donât have to worry.â
Allarron took off his helmet and entered.
Thanks to the visit of Lee Hanâs friends, Nogisa was in a very good mood.
âBecause the villagers here donât do that.â
âThat⦠isnât it a bit too much to just believe in good intentions?â
Nilia asked cautiously.
It was the first time I had ever seen an article, and it was an incredibly strong article, so I was nervous even talking to him.
âI donât believe in good intentions. Itâs because of the townâs rules. If there is a problem in the village, now the Wodanaz family is supposed to dispatch someone to solve it, but the villagers usually take care of it before going there.â
Allarron poured the tea from the teapot and explained with a sip.
There is no distinctive and characterless village in the empire, but Udamhwa Village had a stronger character and personality thanks to its proximity to the Wodanaz family estate.
Among the great aristocratic families, especially those with a deep history and powerful families tend to have the right to judge the surrounding territories, tax collection rights, and security rights.
So did the Wardanaj family.
âThe Wardanaz family protects the territories with one of the lowest tax rates and safe security in the empire. Thatâs why the villagers are deeply grateful. Thatâs why the townsfolk wonât stand by and watch thieves disrupt the order!â
After listening to Allarlongâs words, Lee Han nodded as if he was familiar with them and prepared snacks for his friends.
He got tired of hearing so many stories about how the Wodanaz family governed the land so well that the locals didnât want to bother them.
âAs much as the Wardanaz family is doing their duty, the villagers are trying to repay them.â
âThatâs right. haha.â
At Allarronâs words, all the other friends in the table looked impressed.
Hearing this, it was a land full of beautiful virtues.
