Episode 854
Lee Han tried to apply the same force to the area that Professor Garcia had grabbed, but ended up failing.
âItâs a waste to spend it now.â
If you use it once, Professor Verdus will never give you a safe distance from the next time, so it was a waste to use it just because of this anger.
âHehe. Professor Verdus probably doesnât even know his own weaknesses!â
Professor Verdus began his explanation, completely oblivious to his studentâs evil intentions.
In fact, even before this small aerial sailboat, Professor Verdusâs long-cherished dream was an airship.
Not a small sailboat like this, but a huge flying sailing ship. He also dreamed of a fully automated flying sailboat.
In fact, even now there are no flying vehicles in the empire.
Even if one does not use winged animals such as gryphons or unicorns to fly, it
is possible for an enchantment wizard with some skill to create a flight artifact and fly.
Here, more skilled enchantment wizards were able to increase the size of the artifact and adjust its balance to accommodate multiple additional people.
However, this only applies when a wizard gets on board and directly controls the artifact.
Instead of such an imperfect compromise, Professor Verdus wanted perfection in which the flying sailboat could fly on its own without a single wizard on board.
Of course, the difficulty level has increased thousands of times.
The sails, mast bow, and tower had to be engraved with magic to attract and amplify the wind, and the large keel that supported the center of the bottom of the hull had to be engraved with magic to lighten the weight and reverse gravity.
Connecting these magic circles harmoniously was a brain-burning task, and there were many other equally difficult tasks to deal with, so it
was natural that Professor Verdus had not been able to solve it even after suffering for decades.
âThanks to you, I also had a hard time during vacation.â
Lee Han also once helped Professor Verdus (forcibly) to solve the problem of horsepower needed for a giant flying sailboat.
I was thinking about oversaturating some magic circles with magic power, measuring how efficient it is, and then making up for itâ¦
âWait a minute. âI remember all of this?!â
Lee Han was astonished when all the details of his work with Professor Verdus last year remained in his mind.
At the very least, it seemed less unfair to remember the idea of a clumsy mystery novel written by Guy Nando.
I already forgot about that, but Professor Verdusâs theory still remains. Just thinking about it made me feel very uncomfortable.
âCompared to what I showed you last time, this is a low-level product, like childâs play.â
âI think Lagetha will be really happy to hear it.â
âThatâs because Lagessaâs original level is low.â
ââ¦â¦â
âI really need to report this.â
Lee Han took deep notes in his mind about what he had just heard.
âIt doesnât move completely automatically, so someone has to steer it. Hold the wheel here.â
âWhat level of wizard does it take to do this?â
A wizard could control these flying artifacts.
The question is, at what level can a wizard be controlled?
If it was a really well-made flight artifact, even a Baldrogard student could fly it, and if it was a poorly made flight artifact, only Professor Verdus could fly it. Skill is skill, but no one will be sad when it falls.
âA wizard?â
âHuh? Isnât it controlled by a wizard?â
âThis is an item that was originally created so that you donât have to be a wizard to control it. How many pirates are wizards?â
ââ¦!â
Lee Han was greatly shocked by Professor Verdus speaking casually.
I had forgotten, but the beaver bird in front of me, Professor Beaver Suin, was definitely a genius.
âI forgot. Even with that personality, Professor Verdus wasnât dead yet.â
The fact that he survived under a skeletal principal with that personality could be seen as proof of his genius.
You donât have to be a wizard to control it.
It sounded simple, but it took a huge amount of magic to even allow ordinary people to use the wheel-shaped steering wheel used to fly around the sea when flying through the air.
First of all, you had to change your senses so that the air resistance felt like the resistance of sea water, and the sails had to be applied one by one as if they were moving on the sea. Aside from that, you had to prepare for all kinds of situations that could happen when the wizard is not around.
âHow do we land without a wizard?â
âIf you throw an anchor with gravity magic here, the ship will go down on its own.â
âWhat about departure?â
âThe moment you raise the anchor, the boat will float.â
âWhat about turning? When you encounter a rain cloud? When you encounter a monster?â
Lee Han asked many questions, but Professor Verdus answered them one by one without getting tired of it at all.
Lee Han stopped to admire the carefully completed small flying sailboat.
âBut Professor, isnât it already finished?â
Listening to it now, it didnât seem like there was anything missing.
By any chance, did you mention the specifications after completion when it has not yet been completed?
âNo. There are still areas for improvement.â
âWhere? Are you talking about the part here where the paint has peeled off?â
âThatâs okay.â
âSo, are you talking about the figurehead on the front of the sailboat here? It doesnât look like itâs finished yet, but it looks very importantâ¦â â
Huh? Itâs finished, and thatâs it. Itâs a beaver.â
ââ¦Uh, um, I see. Itâs majestic.â
Lee Han was surprised when he saw the statue that Professor Verdus had decorated with a beaver.
âI thought it was a chimera.â
âThen what else?â
âWe need to make it move completely automatically, without a helmsman!â
Lee Han was once again surprised by Professor Verdusâ words.
Itâs already surprising enough, but theyâre aiming for something even more difficult here.
Above all, isnât that a problem that even Professor Verdus himself hasnât been able to solve yet (even though it was a giant flying sailing ship)
? âLagessa, youâre not ordinary either.â
Well, looking at the amount of gold coins invested, it seemed like I should aim for that level.
Otherwise, who would invest in Professor Verdus?
âLagesa is also great at distribution. To be honest, investments and sponsorships are made with somewhat realistic goals, but you are aiming for something like that.â
âHuh? What do you mean?â
â..Isnât this what Lagesa requested?â
âLagesa didnât ask for this?â
â???â
Lee Hanâs soul gradually became dizzy, as if he had been hit by an illusionary spell.
Is Professor Verdus using magic at all?
ââ¦Then what on earth is this? I heard itâs offered to Lady Lagesa?â
âAh. Lagesa said just being able to control it would be enough.â
Lagetha was a realistic pirate and never dreamed of a fully autonomous blimp.
I invested because I thought it would be nice to have a scout ship that could handle even pirates who couldnât use magic.
âThen⦠isnât it completed now? I can offer it up, right?â
âWhat are you talking about? Youâve completed it to this point, but youâre telling me to hand it over to someone else without improving it further? Are you still a wizard?
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Hanâs eyes widened at the sight of Professor Verdus, who had forgotten the concept of investment in the meantime. I wrapped it tightly.
âWhy did I receive a letter!â
Whether I gave him a black magnet or made him a wand, I should have just forgotten and ignored him!
âSo, Professor. Itâs already been completed, and Lagesa hasnât made any demands, but the professor thinks it would be a waste to end it like this, so heâs just holding on to it
. Even though the other person asks for it, you wonât give it to him.â
âYes!â
ââ¦So, if you canât finish it by tomorrow, are you going to give up and pass it on?â
âNo?â
âIs that so⦠Thereâs dust on your shoulder again.â
Lee Han gave up. He casually
placed his hand on Professor Dusâs shoulder.
Is
it now
?
Anyway, if I help, there will be a chance, so if that doesnât work out, Lee Han planned to steal the sailboat himself and take it to Lagesa. I
also happened to have a backpackâ¦
âI donât know if it will fit in the backpack. Can I just empty out all the spaces in number 6? It will be close. I think so.â
âruler. Follow me.â
Professor Verdus took Lee Han out of the attic.
Then he stuck his head out and looked around.
âWhy are you doing that?â
âIâm afraid thereâs an attack!â
â⦠Isnât this the Professorâs magic tower?â
âThere could be a traitor.â
âYouâre perceptive in strange ways.â
Professor Verdusâ concerns could be seen as valid, as his students talked about how much they would sell their teacher for. Professor
Verdus did not let his guard down even after checking the surroundings. As he left the main gate of the Magic Tower, he was once again detected. I went in.
Lee Han yawned as he looked around for nearly 10 minutes to see if there were raiders, assassins, and spies, Lagesa.
âYou should have been kind.â
âYouâre so thorough.â
After speaking, Lee Han realized that his true thoughts came out first, but Professor Verdus paid no attention.
âWhat do you mean? Iâve lived a good life?â
ââ¦So where should I go?â
Professor Verdus whined and pulled out the sailboat he had dragged out and motioned for Lee Han to get on it. When
they both got on, the sailboat took off. The top of the huge main building It was the destination.
Flying inside the Einroguard territory or near the main building was not a good choice.
The Death Knights who were watching the studentsâ escape would immediately fly up on their mounts.
However, the Death Knights did not fly up.
Lee Han said Verdus I realized that the knights already knew about the professorâs sailboat.
âIndeed, it would be too bothersome to monitor the professorâs vehicle one by one.â
This was also good information. As
long as I kidnapped Professor Verdus and burned him when I had to go out laterâ¦
âOh. You came in wrong.â
Professor Verdus took the sailboat back as the main building suddenly rose upward and increased in height.
Then, after adjusting the height a little, he went back in. This time, the main building, which had just expanded, quietly appeared.
Lee Han-do It was a spire stable that I had seen a few times.
Professor Verdus landed lightly and took out a thick order book from his backpack. Several control magics were needed to make it move on its own without a helmsman.
âNow. âWe will experiment with these one by one and record the errors.â
âBy the way, Professor. âI donât know these magics.â
Lee Han checked the magic that Professor Verdus had pulled out.
Thanks to being forced to become a disciple, Lee Han learned various magic such as absorption, amplification, curvature, and conversion, starting with . I knew that.
But this required a much more complex and intuitive result.
ãGranting Bibléâs departureã ãGranting Bibléâs flightã ãGranting Bibléâs landingãâ¦
Probably prepared by dividing various situations necessary for flight. It seemed to be magic.
Of course, it had to be complicated.
In fact, it was the same as the magic needed to create a flight artifact.
âIt seems that flight artifacts are made by combining them in this way.â
Lee Han also understood it quickly, as he was a second year student. If
magics such as mentioned above are responsible for the basics such as the four basic arithmetic operations in creating artifacts, then
magics such as are necessary for specific situations. It was like a formula.
In certain situations, that is, magic that is semi-essential to learn in order to create a flight artifact.
âAh. Really?â
Professor Verdus expressed his surprise when his student said he didnât know.
Of course he thought he knew.
âYes. If the professor does an experiment, should I just record the errors?â
âHuh? no. âI brought you here because I need your magical power. Then I have to learn it now.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han looked at Professor Verdusâ shoulder carefully again.
