Episode 1004
The skeleton principal looked down at the stack of paper and gave a reassuring look to his student who was muttering.
I thought about it last time, but the most genius talent of this Wardanaz family wizard might not be his magic skills, but his speaking skills.
Please wipe out the imperial officials this time too!
* * *
Silvas, who was working as an examiner at the Imperial Treasury, was surprised.
When I returned from evaluating whether or not the <Centaur Magic Station> in progress in the east was indeed possible, the atmosphere inside the imperial palace was extremely ugly.
-What on earth happened?
-Don’t even talk. Gonadaltes has raided the treasury. His Excellency the Treasurer was hanging upside down.
-Oh, no! Because of those ridiculous studies and experiments?! Isn’t that too much?!
Einroguard wizards were notorious for harassing officials to provide gold coins for even trivial research.
And it was the skeleton principal who came to visit with the application form. From Silvas’s perspective, he had no choice but to think that way.
-It’s a little different this time. They said they would permanently imprison the thought forms that invaded Einrogard. But who knows the truth? What if the wizards of Einrogard took the gold coins again under some strange excuse?
-Still, you can tell such a shallow lie…
-okay. You too, be careful. Everyone is on edge now.
A huge amount of gold coins were lent as if they had been robbed, but no official was happy.
Now the officials’ nerves were as sharp as those of the Einrogard students whose food warehouse had been blown away.
‘Huh.’
Silvas sat in front of a heavy rosewood desk and was lost in thought.
The story I heard was so shocking that I couldn’t just ignore it.
Prince Gonadaltes, lord of Einrogard, was highly trusted as the Emperor’s Commander-in-Chief.
In fact, entering the imperial palace, hanging the treasurer upside down, and forcibly borrowing gold coins like this was not something anyone could do. It was impossible without His Majesty’s consent.
So, did something dangerous really happen in the Einrogard territory?
‘no. No matter what, you hang His Excellency the Treasurer upside down.’
Now other officials were gnashing their teeth.
If Principal Skeleton did not repay the borrowed gold coins on time, he planned to make up for it by ruthlessly stealing gold coins from Einrogard’s other subsidies.
“I. “Are you there?”
“no. “Aren’t you Lee Han of the Wardanaz family?”
Silvas was surprised by the unexpected guest.
And I thought.
‘uh? Is Einrogard’s semester over already?’
I thought there were still a few more days left?
“Here is your gift. “I thought you liked it last time.”
Lee Han brought out the coffee and apple pie he had bought at <Rock Spirit’s Apple Jam Café> located in front of the imperial palace.
Sylvas’s heart became as warm as apple pie at the warm consideration that was not found in the arrogant bastards who visited the imperial palace.
‘Wow. ‘Others should see that and learn from it too.’
Silvas, who distributed snacks to other colleagues (the officials looked at Lee Han with expressions of shock and emotion), thanked them again and then spoke.
“really. Mr. Wizard. “Study on the species that trolls prefer as food is already showing results.”
“yes?”
Lee Han paused at the sudden sound and realized it too late.
This was not my first time visiting the imperial palace in the imperial capital. Last year, he came with a skeleton principal and talked nonsense to get his seniors to pass their ridiculous research topics.
One of them was <Study on the species preferred by trolls as prey>.
‘What did I say? Did you say that in order to reduce the damage caused by trolls, research is needed on the species they prefer as prey?
Looking back, it sounded like nonsense. Lee Han was amazed at how this passed.
“for a moment. Is it working? already?”
“yes. The trend of damage caused by trolls is clearly decreasing. “The ‘Wasteland Stargazers’ in the West even sent us plaques of appreciation.”
“……”
Lee Han reflected on the fact that he did not trust his senior.
I never thought it would be such a good study…!
“The research of Einrogard wizards is always for the sake of the empire. Bald… Hmm. “Some outside wizards are slandering me, but I’m glad that even Mr. Silvas knows the truth.”
‘is it?’
Silvas tilted his head inwardly.
Of course, the research that the boy from the Wardanaz family brought in last year was, contrary to appearances, excellent research.
But apart from that, the fact that Einroguard wizards were being slandered was a bit puzzling.
It doesn’t seem like I’m being slandered…
“Actually, the reason I came here today is because of the thought-form incident that took place in Einrogard.”
“That’s exactly what happened!”
“yes?”
“Oh, no. it’s nothing.”
Silvas quickly changed his mind.
I couldn’t say that I doubted the truth of what the headmaster said in front of Einrogard’s students.
“This time, I heard that the principal went too far to ensure the safety of the students. “It is said that she caused inconvenience to her officials…”
“Oh, no. “I understand Gonadaltes’ feelings.”
“Thank you for your understanding. “The principal is naturally a cool-headed person, but he loses his temper when it comes to students.”
‘is it?’
Silvas tilted his head inwardly once again.
Considering that, it seems like the rumors coming out of Einrogard were quite sinister…
“The gold borrowed from the imperial treasury must be repaid immediately, but can’t it be delayed a little longer? Even for the research of Einroguard wizards.”

“Uhm…”
Silvas looked worried.
I wanted to say yes to Silvas, but I doubted whether I could convince the other officials.
“I will do my best, but I cannot make any guarantees. Of course, I think it is important for the empire to support Einroguard wizards, as well as this <Study on the races that trolls prefer as food>, but other officials are quite angry…”
“There’s no need for that!”
“!?”
The door to the luxurious imperial palace guest room opened and a stranger came inside.
thud!
The man was so large that he hit his forehead on the door frame as he came in. His pain made him frown for a moment, so he lowered his head and came inside.
Lee Han had never seen such a large human race. He was bigger than senior Falkrius.
“Are you Ihan of the Wardanaz family?”
Although it seemed like he was saying it lightly, it felt like the spacious room was shaking.
Not only that, his eyes sparkled as if they were burning, and an intense energy spread out in all directions from his trained body. He looked like a warrior from old mythology.
Lee Han suspected that the treasurer had hired escorts from the north for revenge.
“That’s right, but who are you…”
“Your Majesty’s fourth son, Uman. I’ve heard a lot about you from my sister. “Let me say thank you first!”
“????”
Lee Han’s brain stopped for a moment, wondering who he was talking about.
And I realized it too late.
‘…Jourin’s younger brother!?’
Come to think of it, Jo Woo-rin was the third. If the man in front of her was the fourth child, then it was right for her to become the older sister.
…I couldn’t even imagine it from the outside…
“Uh… that’s…”
“What’s going on? If you have any questions, feel free to ask! “You are the dragon’s contractor!”
“His Majesty Jo Woo-rin… I think he’s still… young…?”
“ah! “Uman’s sister’s soul vessel is that big.”
Uman explained simply in a loud voice.
Small bowls are completed quickly, but large bowls take a long time to be completed.
Uman grew quickly because it was a small vessel, but Jourin grew slowly because it was a large vessel.
‘…Is there any basis?’
As a wizard, Lee Han wanted to use logic and theory, but he did not want to dare to present a different opinion in front of an opponent whose size surpassed that of Senior Falkrius and Professor Garcia.
Uman opened his mouth again.
“Actually, in addition to hearing the story from my sister, I also heard your story separately.”
“omg. “What are you talking about?”
Lee Han instinctively tensed.
There were so many things that went wrong.
Last year, he defeated powerful enemies such as ghouls, the king of frost giants, magic criminals and anti-magicists, basilisks and sea serpents, and this year, he defeated the ancient archmage Thoughtform, an evil hamster, a demigod trying to conquer the continent, and in his spare time, he defeated the city of Grandeur. I also did a little robbery…
‘Which one are you talking about?’
“It’s very just!”
“…What specifically?”
“???”
Silvas was taken aback by Lee Han’s question.
Are there so many stories that we have to ask specifically what kind of story it is?
But Uman shook his head.
“I want to talk at length, but I can’t. After all, you have your own work to do. Uman also has his own problems! Anyway, Silvas. “There is no need for you to suffer!”
“yes? “What do you mean?”
Silvas, who came to his senses late, was puzzled.
Even though Wu Man is the emperor’s fourth son, he cannot suppress the angry officials…
“Uman will pay for the gold needed for the imperial treasury! “What I’m saying is don’t touch the support money that goes to Einroguard.”
“…Jeong, are you sure you’re okay?”
“of course!”
Silvas jumped up.
And then he was so moved that he hugged Uman tightly.
There was a faction of nobles in the empire who looked down on more than a hundred members of the royal family, but if they saw this today, they would not dare say such a thing.
If you are not of noble blood, how can you make such a decision?
Silvas, who was hugging Uman tightly, realized that there was another person next to him.
Before I knew it, the wizard of the Wardanaz family was also hugging Uman tightly.
“Stay away from both of you!”
“yes! majesty!”
* * *
The emperor’s fourth child personally saw off Lee Han as he left the imperial palace.
“Thank you so much. majesty.”
“no! There’s no need to be thankful. “You deserve this help, and Einrogard is a school that deserves it.”
“?”
Lee Han, listening to Woo Man’s words, felt a sense of discomfort.
Just looking at what he said, it didn’t seem strange for this dragon to become Ainroguard’s faithful supporter and investor.
They are a dragon race, and they recognize the value of Einroguard…
But why have I never heard this man’s name from the skeleton principal?
‘Were you poor until recently?’
“majesty. “But the amount of gold is quite large. Do you mind?”
“There is no need to worry about Uman. “Because every year, the money from selling wizard cards is piled up in the safe.”
“…You’re selling wizard cards?!”
“okay! “It is an honorable role inherited from our ancestors.”
Lee Han was immersed in the feeling that he had entered a myth.
How dare you come face to face with a contemporary wizard card maker like this.
The mysterious creator whose identity no one knows!
“It is an honour. My friend really likes it too.”
“I guess your friend is young?”
“…Uh, aren’t wizard cards often enjoyed by older people too?”
Uman frowned at those words. It was a very disapproving look.
“That is wrong! “How can adults take something made for children and enjoy it?”
“……”
Lee Han promised to Guyando that he would keep the person he met today a secret.
“Anyway, thank you very much for your help. “Now that we have persuaded the most difficult officials, it will be much easier to persuade the remaining nobles and wizards.”
“Are you persuasive?”
“yes? yes.”
Uman muttered.
“This is another evil deed of Lord Gonadaltes.”
“?”
“It’s nothing. really! I have a favor to ask. Could you possibly keep this meeting with Uman a secret from Prince Gonadaltes? Of course, I know this is a difficult request. Because you are a disciple of Prince Gonadaltes. But this is really for the greater good and justice…”
“It’s not difficult. “I will do it.”
“?!”
