Episode 805
â Isnât it strange that I didnât notice?
One of the Death Knights said as if he didnât understand.
Considering the situation I heard about earlier, it was surprising that I didnât have any doubts.
First, he showed interest to the point of being suspicious, then said he didnât know who Wardanaz was, and then ran away every time he visited the clubâ¦
Intarendals answered the question with a sincerely embarrassed attitude.
âI thought he was a much more evil and rough wizard.â
-ah!
-Thatâs it!
The Death Knights were immediately convinced. Intarendalsâ words were certainly persuasive.
They also seemed to think that if the Skeleton Headmaster had asked them to go somewhere and find his successor, so-and-so, they would first look for a wizard with three heads and six arms. Doesnât
an ordinary-looking wizard
look so⦠â¦out of place?
âWhat do you mean by that?â
Lee Han cursed the Death Knights in his mind.
If you agree to such nonsense, you should be severely scolded.
âfor a moment. âIf you are a member of the Wardanaz family, why did you hide your identity?â
âBecause you donât really want to learn magic?â
âThatâs nonsense! Donât lie!â
Intarendals showed the most shocked appearance he had seen today, as if he could never believe it.
Some of the Death Knights were also embarrassed.
-Are there times when your successor doesnât want to learn magic?
-hmm. Depending on the opponent, that might be the case. But itâs amazing. I thought it would be okay for anyone as long as they could learn from watching what was being taught under Bible.
Fortunately, Lee Han was unable to hear the Death Knightsâ conversation as he was dealing with the Interendals. If I had heard it, I might have exploded with anger.
âWhy is it a lie?â
âIsnât this an opportunity to learn magic from the master? Think about it. He was born as a nameless prince of a small country. He became the one who destroyed the kingdom and melted the crown! Who else could do these things if not the master of fate? And what a great honor it is to be able to learn from someone like that.â
Intarendalsâ voice contained sincere regret and faith.
Instead of persuading the other party, Lee Han talked to the Death Knights.
âHeadmaster, did you destroy the kingdom and melt the crown?â
-Well⦠we each sacrificed our swords at different timesâ¦
-Isnât that what happened at that time? Gathering kings together and sewing them together?
-no. It didnât destroy the kingdom or melt the crown.
âI asked for no reason.â
Actually, when I thought about it, it didnât really matter if the Skeleton Headmaster had titles like âDestroyer of Kingdoms,â âHe who melted crowns,â or âHe who sewed kings together.â
The important thing was to just say no.
âNo. I donât like the crown and the kingdom, butâ¦â
âWhat is the reason?!â
âYour master teaches you too harshly.ââ
âHuh!? What kind of nonsense are you talking about being harsh? Ihan of the Wardanaz family! Where on the continent is such a tolerant archmage?â
One of the worse Death Knights spoke from the side.
-hey. Interrendals. While you were dead, magic transmission on the continent became much more peaceful.
-Just like before, if you kill a student, you will be punished.
Intarendals, a capable chamberlain, was fanatical and blind, but not lucid.
I immediately knew what the Death Knights were talking about.
âAre you saying that these ridiculous⦠corrupt customs of the present world are interfering with the masterâs teachings?â
-Corruption⦠Is it?
-hmm. These young knights seem a bit corrupt.
Although Intarendals was shocked, he quickly gathered himself together and opened his mouth. Regardless of my shock, I had to faithfully carry out the task I received.
âGood⦠good. Ihan of the Wardanaz family. In that case, letâs negotiate.â
âNegotiation? Iâm just saying this just in case, but donât try to sway me with gold coins. No matter how much gold coins you pour into the dark magic school, they wonât be easily persuaded. Do you understand? Iâm not the kind of person who can be swayed that much by imperial gold coinsâ¦â
â Youâre becoming suspiciously talkative.â
The Death Knights thought to themselves. If I pushed a little further with the gold coin, I might have given in to the temptation!
âIhan of the Wardanaz family. The reason I went around to various clubs and sponsored you
was so that you would not be hindered in material terms when learning magic from the master.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Intarendals said in a serious voice. Interendals did not sponsor with evil intentions as Lee Han thought.
Of course, it ended up being an evil sponsorship, but the intention itself was to create time for Lee Han.
In order to secure gold coins, wizards had to devote time to research and magic that they were not interested in.
How sad it would be if such wasted time meant less time to learn from the master of Interendals.
âAnd Iâm not sure what you mean by the School of Dark Arts.â
âDidnât you support the black magic school?â
âYes. I sponsored it, but it wasnât because of Lee Han, it was just because it was a school that inherited the masterâs magic.â
ââ¦I see. Thank you. Please support us a lot in the future.â
âHaha⦠Iâm sure there are many good sponsors besides me.â
At Interendalsâ words, the Death Knights and Lee Han slightly averted their gaze.
I couldnât bear to tell the truth about this part.
âAnyway, Lee Han. Of course, I thought the master would come filled with joy and joy if I told him that he was looking for me, butâ¦â
The plan of Intarendals, the talented chamberlain, was simple and perfect.
1. Go to school during club week.
2. Support Lee Han and free up his time.
3. I greet Lee Han running towards me with joy.
âYouâre talking crazy bullshit.â
Lee Han cursed inwardly.
âHasnât there been a report from a magic criminal with a similar name to Antagondals?â He
had clearly expressed his refusal to deal with Antagondals, but such an innocent expectation.
I wondered if something had happened along the way and it had not been delivered.
âAntagondals .â Dals? Magical criminal?â
Intarendals looked puzzled and worried. And then he answered.
âIâm sorry, but my master naturally ignores the words of worthless and insignificant people. Words are also a good thing.â
ââ¦â¦â
I risked my life to come in, but I went through hardships and was ignored by my clone.
Lee Han felt a little pity for Antagondals. Being a magic criminal was not easy.
âLee Han. Iâd like to talk about negotiations.â
Intarendals, who oversaw the major and minor affairs of the Skeleton Headmaster as a chamberlain during his lifetime, immediately brought up a proposal. If
the world has changed, shouldnât we adapt accordingly?
âFirst of all, you said that the masterâs teachings are harsh. How about like this? For each week of death, resurrection is guaranteed up to three times.â
ââ¦â¦â
-â¦â¦
âHmm. I guess this is not the case either. All right. Letâs raise it a little more.â
Interendals read the atmosphere and began to refine the negotiation plan more and more.
Resurrect 3 times, revive 5 times, resurrect 7 times. No deathsâ¦
âBanning attacks is nonsense. Lee Han! How can you learn magic without being attacked?â
-Tsk, tsk. This
is why the people of the old days⦠-They are all old-fashioned and stuck-up. They are just plain
old-fashioned. Death Knights are usually ridiculed by students as old knights. He took out his resentment on someone older than him.
Intarendals groaned in pain.
âBut⦠but no attacks. Ugh. I canât help it. Iâll try to tell you. What would the owner think? âI think youâll refuse.â
âIf you refuse, isnât there nothing you can do? Letâs respect each other.â
Lee Han answered harshly. In fact, if his crazy alter ego refused after hearing that, it was good for Lee Han, but
there was nothing bad about it.
âWhat other conditions are there? Now that this has come to an end, please tell me.â
-Hmm. How about teaching in a neutral area? In a subdimension where they cannot attack each other.
-It would be better to teach from a distance by communication. Wouldnât it be much safer then? If you are in the mirror. We are also relieved.
âLong distance⦠Artifact⦠Communication⦠Safe distanceâ¦â
Intarendals took notes quickly, waving his quill.
âAgain?â
â It seems that this student was busy listening to many other lectures. It wonât be enoughâ¦
âBut those lectures are trash compared to the masterâs teachingsâ¦â
-Uh-huh! This old guy again! Will he keep saying such stupid things?
âIâm sorry. Please tell me.â
â Shouldnât there be a corresponding reward?
Intarendals showed a troubled look for the first time in response to the Death Knightsâ subtle request.
âBut neither I nor my master have anything. Because he is so cruel, he
does not have the kingdomâs territory or the right to collect taxes⦠All I have is a huge amount of imperial gold coins and jewels.â
ââ¦â¦â
-⦠I think that will be enough.
âAh. Is that so? What a small reward. I will confirm this at my discretion.â
Lee Han began to seriously wonder how much of the gold coins the Intarendals had stolen from the replacement family.
* * *
âThen, I will forward this letter.â
The Intarendals were tightly bound and turned into Death Knights. He spoke seriously while being heard by others.
His expression was that of a competent diplomat, but he was completely tied up and looked a bit unsightly.
-Goodbye, Interendals. We met like this because we had different owners, but it was nice to meet an old friend. Take care and return home.
âI was like that too. Dear knights. Is it not so common to meet knights who reject eternal rest and pursue honor?â The
Death Knights warmly sent Intarendals off
, and as soon as Intarendals flew to the distant mountains, they said:
-Did you plant it well?
-Yes.
â??â
Lee Han asked, not understanding the conversation.
âWhat did you plant?â
â Ah. When I plunged the knife into that guy, I planted a dark scarab inside his body. If he approaches, you will know right away.
Death The knights hated doing the same thing inefficiently.
The next time they infiltrate the main building, Intarendals will start with a few hits of the blades of darkness.
ââ¦Everyone!â
Lee Han was moved and hugged the Death Knights. Death The knights nodded with happy eyes.
âWait a minute. Youâre not going to plant something on me
either, right?â â As expected, you have an idea worthy of Wardanaz. Even if you put it in anyway, the mana density is so high that he will die. More than that, I was a little surprised that they sent that person back. Even if they donât execute him, they should imprison him forever.
That would be one of the ways.â
âI donât think either way will be very effective. The crazy clone will send the next minion anyway, so I thought the best way would be to persuade it to give up on me.â
The Death Knights listened to Lee Hanâs words and exchanged subtle glances among themselves.
âDo you think it will work?â
âI donât think there will be anyone to replace him.â
âActually, I think so too.â
âFirst of all, isnât the other personâs pride very strong? If you receive a counteroffer like that, I think you can say that you wonât teach even if it makes you feel bad.â
-hmm. That actually seems like a possibility.
ârather?â
-My pronunciation is often watery because my jawbone has become old and worn out. haha.
After hearing Lee Hanâs words, the Death Knights raised their chances quite high.
Even though the boy from the Wardanaz family is an irreplaceable talent, isnât his opponentâs pride that much stronger?
I donât think he would insist on teaching when his student makes such a cheeky counterofferâ¦
âGentlemen!â
After leaving for a few minutes, Intarendals quickly returned. The Death Knights were startled and grabbed their swords.
âDid you get caught?â
âThe master gave permission!â
-â¦â¦
ââ¦â¦â
