Episode 645
âThere will always be a smile on the faces of the people of the Wodanaz family estate. really. Mr. Wodanaz. I heard you went around with the principal during this vacation?â
âhuh. Among the juniors, I persuaded the kids who didnât want to come in.â
âwhy?!â
Gainando was stunned when he heard it from the side.
Why did he commit such an evil deed?
Friends ignored them and continued talking.
âCome to think of it, were there any memorable juniors among your juniors?â
âhmm. There was a junior who was gifted as a knight and was born with psychic powersâ¦â
âOh.â
âThey hate fighting.â
â??â
Friends tilted their heads.
Aside from the fact that knights hate fighting, is it okay to hate fighting in Einrogard?
âBut you did a good job persuading me.â
âArenât there any students at the Blue Dragon Tower?â
âThere was a junior from Pengerin-samaâs family. Your skills are fine.â
Yoner and Gainando were very interested in Lee Hanâs words.
If you were a junior of the Pengerin family, wouldnât you enter the Blue Dragon Tower?
Of course, because of the rules to protect freshmen, I couldnât meet him right away in my sophomore year, but it was nice to see an outstanding junior come to my top.
âWhatâs your personality?! Whatâs your personality?!â
âI am full of confidence because I have skills.â
âthis!â
Gainando let out a sigh.
The most important thing for juniors was personality, not magic skills or wisdom.
A junior who is polite and knows how to respect seniors should come in!
âHow about a wizard card or a dish?â
âWhy do you ask thatâ¦â
Nilia looked at Gainando as if she was dumbfounded.
âAre you looking for a new nanny among your juniors?â
âDidnât you just say wordanaz?â
âOh no.â
Ratford, who had been listening to the story, asked curiously.
âHave you ever had a junior like me?â
âThere was. Well done Ratford. When you meet, will you talk well with each other?â
Lee Han thought it was going well, so he brought up the story of Priest Carre of the Bildotzcal Church.
At first, Ratford listened with interest, but his expression crumpled as the story progressed.
âYou are a very stupid junior!â
âIs that so?â
âIâm so greedy that I didnât even join the guild. What does the guild think! A junior like that would probably act alone even after entering the dormitory.â
Ratford was unusually angry.
Even though they were from the same thief, their way of thinking was completely opposite.
âhmm. Itâs a relief that we wonât see each other for a year.â
Han Lee thought to himself. Ratford looked at Lee Han and asked.
âMrs. Wardanaz. You must have given that stupid junior a sharp lesson, right?â
âWater, of course. They said you shouldnât do it that way.â
âVery well done! What else did you say?â
âUh, so I have to take care of my friendsâ¦â
While Yihan, overwhelmed by Ratfordâs spirit, lied, Eandurde, who was next to him, stared at Yihan.
Only then did Lee Han realize that he had left out one person and hurriedly shouted.
âreally. There is a reliable junior from the Black Turtle Tower here!â
Eandurde nodded proudly at Lee Hanâs praise. Nilia and Ratford praised the outstanding junior.
âIâm glad a reliable junior like you came.â
âyouâre right. I am very excited.â
âWhat are you expectingâ¦â
Guinando muttered inaudibly to Eandurde.
I still felt the pain in my wrist from being bitten by my junior.
âreally. Mr. Wodanaz. Are the others not coming?â
âThe only ones who sent letters saying they were coming were Durgyu and Priest Shiana, but I donât know when theyâll arrive. Will it come soon?â
âI am here.â
With the sound of the door opening, Suin the penguin entered with a tired face.
Students who expected other friends to come saw Alcicle and stood up to greet them.
âhello. Mr. Pengerin.â
âNice to meet you all.â
Alcicle trimmed the tangled feathers and set down the basket of herbs.
Seeing this, Yoner was puzzled and asked.
âYou want to make a potion?â
âno. Wardanaz asked for it.â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
Yoner looked at Lee Han in amazement.
Did you just use the Pengerin familyâs Alcicle as an herbal messenger?
Heâs quite a famous wizard among the young budding wizards in the empireâ¦
âHow did you ask?â
Yoner slightly suspected that his friend had used mind magic.
I wondered if he tricked me into something to eat, but that would only work for Gainandoâ¦
âHere is the sardine. I fried some while you were away.â
âand! thanks.â
Alcicle casually took the plate and tossed it into his beak and sat down.
âYou tricked me into something to eat!?â
In fact, the reason why Alcicle was accepting Lee Hanâs request was that he was indebted to him too.
In the last experiment, he poured so much mana generously, so he couldnât help me with an errand like this.
Besides, I didnât know what else to askâ¦
âHe seems to really like sardines.â
âArsil-nim left?â
âyes.â
Alcicle, who heard the story from Lee Han, crackled his beak as if he was curious.
It was completely different from when ordinary nobles left.
Originally, a luxurious banquet was held and various events were to follow along with musical instruments, but Arsil left without thinking that someone was not from the Wodanaj family.
âWardanaz. I suddenly became curious, but it seems that neither the head of the family nor the other members of the family had much interest in social events⦠How did you participate in social events when you were young?â
Of course, there were escort knights and golem demons who swore allegiance to the mansion, but just having them didnât mean you could participate in social events.
It was impossible to participate in a social event unless the members of the family participated in the formality.
âah. Relatives helped. I usually go there.â
âaha. I see.â
Alcicle, who nodded and munched on the fried sardines, tilted his head inwardly.
âuh? Was there a collateral branch of the Wardanaz family?â
If it did, it would have been much more famous, so why donât I remember hearing about it?
âreally. Mr Penguin. I have a question for you.â
Lee Han took out the sheet music he received from the grave.
Originally, I planned to decipher it slowly, but Arsilâs words were so meaningful that I became curious.
âItâs the sheet music I found in the ancient tomb behind this manor, but I was wondering if you could read the text.â
âAre ancient tombs so common in the back of your manorâ¦?â
Alcicle received the sheet music even though he was embarrassed.
I thought I would do my best to answer Lee Hanâs question.
In fact, it is rare to prove your abilities in front of this boy from the Wodanaz family other than this.
âMaybe itâs just my mood, but sometimes it seems like they see me as a wizard who lives off my looks.â
Alcicle stared at the sheet music. However, I couldnât immediately recall which era it was.
âUgh. Mmmmmâ¦â
A long moan.
Lee Han, who couldnât see it, carefully opened his mouth.
âItâs okay if you donât knowâ¦â
âOh no! Itâs a familiar letter! a little bit! Just a little more time!â
âAh yes.â
Alcicle stared intently through the parchment.
Ratford, who was watching from the side, opened his mouth without thinking.
âIsnât this a text from the Ga Kingdom?â
âGo⦠Go Kingdom! Thatâs right, a text from the Ga Kingdom period! Whoa! If you gave me one more minute, no, 30 seconds, I could have remembered it too. really!â
At Alcicleâs desperate excuse, Ratford responded in bewilderment.
âI thought it would, of course.â
âItâs not really an excuse!â
âPengerin. Calm down. This is not a game to guess first.â
âKeuuughâ¦!â
Alcicle realized his ugliness and sat down again, blushing.
The days of the fake kingdom, which means the days of the fake kingdom, was a nightmare for imperial historians.
The era of Ihabjipsan where there was no proper king and there were many people who pretended to be the king.
In the history of the continent, there were more cases of division than integration, but the division was particularly severe during the kingdom.
To save face, Alcicle took out a letter book from his Ga Kingdom days and began to read the sheet music.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI praise the sacrifice of the king⦠The king prevented the misfortune that befell him in front of the wall⦠It seems roughly like a hymn and a funeral song, but I canât read the notes or lyrics under the title. It probably belongs to you.â
â!â
Just as the name of a spirit can only be read and called by the person who contracted it, there were some spells that only a specific person could read and memorize.
Alcicle, like a seasoned magician, noticed the magic on the score when the notes and lyrics on the score didnât come through no matter how much he read them.
âMy older brother said that this song would help me, but why? There would be no reason for me to sing hymns or funeral odes.â
âProbably not because of the lyrics, but because of the magic in the song.â
After hearing from Lee Han about what happened inside the tomb, Arcicle sharply guessed Arsilâs intentions.
The reason Arsil recommended this song from an unnamed ancient kingdom to Wardanaj wasnât because of its lyrics or melody.
It was because of the power of the song.
âI heard that this song dominated the surrounding area? Itâs bigger than you think.â
â!â
In order to dominate their territory, the wizards put more effort than expected.
Just how many magics were inscribed in the magicianâs workshop or magic tower right now.
Conversely, it meant that it was difficult to dominate the territory.
Controlling a vast space where all kinds of power flow irregularly is controlled by individual will.
But the sorcerers of this ancient realm have succeeded in demonstrating something like that with the songs engraved on the tombs.
Itâs gone now and the pulse of magic has been cut off, but it was certain that it was a great thing.
âI never thought of it that way.â
âso do i. In the first place, something like music magic wasnât even worth studying.â
âThe principal said that I should learn the language, but what do you think?â
ââ¦The spirit is not some kind of levitation spell, so thereâs no way you can learn it that easily.â
Alcicle looked at Lee Han as if he was dumbfounded.
I knew that Headmaster Skeleton had no conscience, but he really had no conscience.
Itâs okay to not learn music magic, but to learn the languageâ¦
âDid you mean that?â
Lee Han was lost in thought.
After listening to Arcicleâs explanation, I could understand why Arsil asked me to keep this sheet music carefully.
It was clear that Arsil wanted Yihan to learn how to control the realm as a mage.
Other methods for controlling the now known domain have been far more complex or challenging.
If you compare it to the level of difficulty of the spell magic right now, no matter how difficult this sheet music is, it is incomparable.
In contrast, the music magic of this forgotten kingdom provided Lee Han with an ingenious shortcut that other magics could not provide.
âBy the way, is Pengerin not interested in this magic? Sounds pretty great to hearâ¦â
Alcicle replied plaintively.
âIâm interested in it, but just looking at it, it consumes too much mana.â
âah.â
âThe people of the kingdom probably made it only play in the tomb. It wonât fit with you, it wonât fit with me.â
Eandurde tilted her head and asked.
âAre you a sword with poor skills?â
âno!â
âno. Eandurde. Donât say anything rude.â
Lee Han covered his juniorâs mouth.
There were so many magics to learn right now, but even taking that into account, this magic was definitely worth a try.
What passed through Lee Hanâs head was his own world once shown by the headmaster skeleton.
The ultimate in magic that goes beyond dominating a realm and turns it into your own rules.
Of course, if you master this music magic perfectly, you wonât be able to write your own world, but I didnât know if I could take the first step on that long road.
âthank you. Mr Penguin. Letâs practice hard one more time. I also got a violin as a gift.â
âokay. Are you going to practice now?â
Alcicle looked at Lee Han with expectant eyes.
Even if it wasnât magic that he could learn, he was always curious about magic he didnât know.
âno. Iâm going to pick up some herbs first. I donât have enough to complete the quest.â
ââ¦Iâll pick up the herbs, so you practice music magic.â
Alcicle couldnât stand it and was serious.
