Episode 873:
Making a contract with a star was several times more difficult than finding it.
Under King Yashaâs harsh teachings, Lee Han was barely able to draw out a fragment of the starâs power.
Hmm. I think I can pull it out a little more.
âIâll just head back.â
Come to think of it, arenât you curious about this area?
âIâll just head back.â
That valley is where sewage was hitâ¦
âIâll just go back now⦠Wait. I beg your pardon?â
Lee Han paused for a moment and looked at the Yasha King.
âMaybe this person. âAre you doing this knowing everything?â
However, King Yasha pointed to a distant valley with an expression that could not be read.
That is where Kinnara and Gandharvas reside. They respect me as a king, but they do not serve me. I also reign as a king, but I do not rule.
A musician from Kinnara, who had the body of a half-man and half-bird, found Lee Han and played music to welcome him.
The music, filled with unique magic, was reminiscent of a sirenâs song, but the effect was just the opposite. Lee Han felt the fatigue from concentrating on the stars disappearing.
âThey are fun people. ⦠But why were you beaten?â
Hmm. Although he didnât ask, it is highly likely that Ohsu thought that their power was needed. In order to move up there, gathering all the wisdom and vision of this dimension would not be enough, so it is no wonder that they tried to gain the power of the indigenous races.
âSo when do you get beaten up?â
King Yasha ignored Lee Hanâs words.
After recovering and recuperating here, Osu went to visit them. And I said this. âYou who sing notes and burn incense, says the wizard who inherited the progress of the dragons. Help me gain the truth above. Then I will make you even more free.â
âno. âAre you going to beat me up for saying that?â
Lee Han unknowingly took the side of the skeleton principal.
You wouldnât know it if it was a skeleton principal now, but the skeleton principal of the past was a person who tried his best to do good things, but to treat him so cruelly.
When I glared at the Kinnara musician in the valley, the other person shrugged his shoulders as if he didnât know.
no. I wonât beat you for saying that.
âThen?â
When they ignored him, Ohsu tried to gain recognition for his power by using magic. I got hit at that time.
Young Osu was also a great wizard who learned dragon magic, but the Kinnara and Gandharvas of that valley were also warriors who had dealt with strangers who had visited the dimension countless times over the years.
When the warriors attacked, taking advantage of the environment they were familiar with, Osu could not resist and retreated to the Yasha Kingâs palace.
ââ¦â¦â
Are you planning on retaliating as a disciple? If so, I can help you.
âIs it perhaps a trap?â
If you think Iâve set a trap, Iâd like to point out that youâre wrong. Of course, I am their king, but I have not sworn to absolutely protect them. If Osuâs disciple wants itâ¦
ââ¦No. itâs okay.â
Hmm. Is the emotional attitude toward the teacher the cause?
If I were to be honest, Lee Han wanted to hit the Yasha King more than those other tribes.
âIf Master wanted revenge, you would have done it yourself. And didnât you, Master, try to subdue him by force first?â
indeed. But there are still some parts that are difficult to understand. Wouldnât a wizard have no choice but to show his power in a situation like this? As I will tell you in advance, they are impossible to persuade. I have no interest in anything other than music and scents.
âIf we canât convince you, canât we just leave it alone and go somewhere else?â
Lee Han wondered what kind of bullshit the Yacha King was talking about, so he answered.
In the first place, what difference would it make if you forced such a strong opponent into submission by force?
When a knife came flying at me from behind, it was not a choice to make with a difficult goal in front of me.
I guess itâs the same elsewhere too? In this dimension, there are only a very few people who lend their wisdom to strangers. A king like me is very exceptional.
âJust because youâre stuck doesnât mean a foolish choice is a good choiceâ¦â
Hmm.
Lee Han was surprised.
Surprisingly, King Yasha burst into laughter.
âCould it be because you insulted the skeleton principal?â
There are some aspects where the student excels.
âyes? âWhatâ¦â
Of course it wasnât magic, I thought it was about humanity, but Lee Han hesitated.
If I were to have a personality contest with the current skeleton principal, I was confident that I would win every battle, but the past skeleton principal was a little less confident.
âHonestly, itâs hard to believe, but looking at it objectively, there may be some possibility that Principal Skeleton was a somewhat⦠quite⦠fairly⦠good person in the past.â
In that case, there was a high possibility that Lee Han would lose in the personality contest. Lee Han honestly didnât have the confidence to live like the skeleton principal of the past.
âWhich part do you mean?â
I would tell you if I didnât have an emotional grudge against you, but I canât in this situation.
âNo, this bastard.â
Instead, I will tell you another anecdote. There are devils in the sky over there, and Osu was once deceived by them.
âIs that true!?â
okay. As for how he was deceivedâ¦
King Yasha, who was speaking, paused.
A portal began to tremble behind the black book.
Hmm. Is it already time to go back? Iâm looking forward to my next visit.
âIâll just listen to the story about how I was deceived by demons for a momentâ¦!â
However, as much time had already been spent on heavenly magic, the portal did not wait and swallowed Lee Han.
The black book bowed to the Yasha King and followed him into the portal.
King Yasha, who was left alone, paid his respects.
This was because wizards and disciples who reached the truth were worthy of the kingâs respect.
* * *
âUgh.â
Lee Han, who woke up feeling the sunlight pouring in from the window, moaned at the feeling of a huge dragon hugging him tightly. The telekinesis curtain was on the verge of breaking.
Lee Han, who quickly strengthened his magic and was about to wake Jo Woo-rin, felt something caught in his pocket.
â!â
A familiar horn-shaped sculpture.
It was a piece of horn that I had also received from a yaksha in the Einrogard territory. The difference is that it contains a much deeper and richer energy.
If Lee Han remembers correctly, this was an item asking for help.
ââ¦Oh, but can you come?â
Unlike the yakshas within the same territory, the yaksha king was a being located in a distant dimension.
I didnât have a contract with Lee Han and I donât have any particular relationship with him, so I wondered if he could appear with just a piece of horn. While I was thinking about
it,
I heard a crashing sound outside the window.
I looked up and saw that it was a paper bird. The paper bird came through a small gap and flew right in front of Lee Han. And then he vomited out the voice insideâ¦
-Helpâ¦
Puck!
â¦I couldnât. A sleepy Jo Woo-rin crushed the paper bird in frustration.
âI think it was Professor Verdusâ voice just now?â
While Lee Han was perplexed, several more paper birds flew by. Jo Woo-rin fiercely intercepted the paper bird with his wings and tail.
It wasnât a dragon for nothing. Lee Han was once again impressed by Jo Woo-rinâs abilities.
âmajesty. majesty.â
Yes?
Jo Woo-rin, who was half asleep, half-opened one eye and looked around at the sound of Lee Hanâs voice.
Lee Hanâs voice was heard from somewhere, but he was nowhere to be seen.
âI am here.â
â¦Aaaah no!
Jo Woo-rin let out a scream so strong that the dormitory tower shook.
You crushed Lee Han in his sleep!
Lee Han! You canât die! You canât die!
âIâm fineâ¦â
âWhatâs going on?â
Eandurde, who had picked fruit for Jourin early in the morning, was startled when he heard the screams.
Jo Woo-rin crushed Lee Han!!
ââ¦Crumbling!â
Eandurde immediately showed hostility and glared at Jourin. Jo Woo-rin hurriedly made an excuse.
I didnât do it on purposeâ¦! In my sleepâ¦!
âKrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!â
âHeâs not dead.â
Lee Han amplified his telekinesis, lifted Jo Woo-rinâs front paw, and escaped. Jo Woo-rin, who was crying, blinked when he saw Lee Hanâs fine appearance.
Is Lee Han strong so he wonât get hurt?
âAbsolutely not. âIt was blocked with magic.â
Lee Han answered immediately, fearing that he would hug her really hard in the future if there was a misunderstanding.
Nevertheless, Eandurde glared at Joourin as if he were looking at a senior slayer. Jo Woo-rin cried and explained.
In my sleepâ¦
âCrumbling.â
I didnât do it on purpose!
âCrumbling!â
âEandurde. Calm down. If it was dangerous, I would have come out. Ratherâ¦â
âWhatâs going on?!â
Before Lee Han could bring up Professor Verdus, Professor Bendozol rushed inside.
While sleeping in front of the Blue Dragon Tower, he heard Jo Woo-rinâs screams.
âWhat the hell is going on! Dragon! âWhat kind of eternally damned bastards surprised you!â
I thought Jo Woo-rin crushed Lee Han.
âYou bastard! âYou made Dragon have such a misunderstanding!?â
Donât be angry at Lee Han!
Jo Woo-rin growled and warned Bendozol. Bendozol looked like he wanted to strangle himself.
âI was wrong! Please calm down!â
Thatâs right. I understand.
âI have prepared a meal. âIf you want, Iâll let you in.â
Uh, Jo Woo-rin wanted to eat Einrogarde with her friends hereâ¦n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHaha. âNever do that.â
Lee Han firmly stopped him.
After eating the meals provided by Einroguard, Jo Woo-rin was able to evolve into a light dragon or a demon dragon.
After persuasion, Jo Woo-rin nodded and Bendozol began to bring in meals one by one.
âhey! âBring in the dishes!â
The demons working at Einrogard grumbled and carried the dishes.
What kind of useless trouble is this because of that crazy professor!
It seemed like almost every dish imaginable for Einrogard students was on the huge dinner table.
Pumpkin or potato pottage gratin and salad Imperial Southern style sautéed whole succulent boar and turkey stacked like a tower and stuffed fish served on a lake of veal broth Custard and tart soufflés Chocolate pudding and creamâ¦
Yoner came down, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and stopped, wondering if he had been affected by an illusion spell.
âWhat⦠is this?â
âA meal prepared by the professor.â
âDo you usually eat things like this, Your Majesty?â
Jo Woo-rin shook his head with an embarrassed expression and answered.
In the first place, Jo Woo-rin doesnât even eat this much.
âprofessor. âCan I invite other students to eat with us?â
âAre you crazy??â
âmajesty. âCan I invite other students to eat with us?â
huh.
Professor Bendozol glared at Lee Han once and went to call the students.
At first, the other top students arrived one by one, wondering what was going on, and after finding out the truth, they hurriedly called their friends.
âPraise to Your Majesty!â
âLong live His Highness Jo Woorin! Praise the mercy of the true royal family!â
ââ¦hey.â
It was a happy time for everyone except for a few dissatisfied royal family members. In particular, Jo Woo-rin seemed very excited after hearing the sudden praise.
Could you please treat me the same way tomorrow?
âOf course, Dragon!â
Professor Bendozol smiled happily and answered.
Complaints about students being treated poorly had already disappeared.
Lee Han could see the faces of the demons transporting food under the tower distorting viciously.
âProfessor, wonât we be attacked later?â
Jo Woo-rin was excited and chattered to Lee Han.
Come to think of it, Lee Han. Jo Woo-rin caught a bug targeting Lee Han in his dream! Lee Han can rest assured. Jo Woo-rin will protect you even outside of your dreams.
âI feel reassured. Your Majesty⦠ah.â
Only then did Lee Han think of the paper bird and pause.
âHmm. I guess we can talk after we finish eating.â
Lee Han nodded to Guyando, who was pulling his sleeve, and cut the steak.
