Episode 1007
The nobles in the room were even more shocked than before.
Even if it’s up to Haidan, what about Madame Kraha?
I couldn’t believe it. One of the nobles took a gulp of hot tea to steady himself (which didn’t help much) and then asked a question.
“K… Mr. Kraha. You said it clearly. “No matter how devoted His Excellency Gonadaltes is to the empire, he will not be taken lightly this time.”
“You’re doing too much.”
The headmaster of the skeleton spoke as if he was feeling sad next to him, but none of the nobles responded and ignored him.
“It was like that.”
“But why?!”
“Well… I am very indebted to Wardanaz-kun here. So I have no choice.”
‘The Wardanaz family?’
Only then did the nobles turn their attention to the skeleton headmaster’s disciple.
In fact, I was so shocked by Haidan and Mrs. Kraha’s remarks that the introduction of a student by a skeleton principal was not something that could be easily overlooked.
Because it was essentially an opportunity to introduce the future archmage, the best and most crazy among Einrogard’s numerous students.
This was even more so if the disciple was a member of the Wardanaz family. The nobles tried to digest the information they had just heard.
“therefore…”
“If it’s the Wardanaz family…”
“I heard that you defeated the king of ghouls last year? “Of course I am a graduate…”
“I think I heard about subjugating the Basilisk and the Sea Serpent, but wait. “If you’re a second-year student now, that means you were a first-year student last year, right?”
The headmaster quickly gave a signal to the death knights.
It was a signal to quickly change the subject before the nobles realized Einrogard’s evil secret.
“Wait a minute, who is the person the dragons were talking about this time…”
“A dragon?”
“it’s nothing.”
Among the nobles who responded, there was even a head of the household who received a letter from the dragon.
The head of the family was immediately convinced when the memory came to mind.
‘indeed.’
I felt like I could understand why great calculators like Haidan and Mrs. Kraha reacted so softly.
It wasn’t just because he was the skeleton headmaster’s student.
Of course, being the headmaster’s disciple was impressive enough, but in fact, this was a reason to stay away from him, not a reason to get close to him.
It was really rare for there to be anything good about being close to the skeleton principal or his students.
Even if you stay close, if something like this happens, your supplies will be looted and you will be forced to make donations. In order to live a peaceful and comfortable life, it was right to keep a distance.
However, if you were someone who made a contract with a dragon, it was a different story.
Any contractor who had not appeared for that long was a reason to take risks and show favor, no matter how much he was a disciple of the skeleton principal.
‘As expected, both of them are not normal.’
“I will also accept any request from my student.”
“I will do the same.”
Nobles who had heard rumors about the youngest member of the Wardanaz family and were thinking about investing, or household heads who had received letters from the dragons, or people who had turned around after seeing the atmosphere, all joined in one after another.
However, there were still quite a few people who did not give up.
Nobles who were dark or greedy due to rumors, or who wanted to somehow get Professor Verdus instead of gold at this opportunity, could not give up easily and clung on.
“Mr. Kraha. Please think again. “To withhold such a large amount of money just because you are indebted to him…”
‘That’s foolish. Could it be that Madame Kraha did it simply for that reason?’
The sharp-witted nobles thought to themselves.
In fact, it was entirely for that reason, but the nobles could not even imagine it.
“It’s not I who is indebted to you, but Gainando who is indebted to you.”
“Just because you are your friend?”
“It’s not at that level, really…”
The nobles were not convinced by Madame Kraha’s explanation.
What’s the point of going to a magic school and being indebted to another friend?
Meals and cleaning would be done by slaves and servants, and magic would be taught by a professor.
Haidan was the same when it came to giving unconvincing explanations.
“When I think about the changes in my younger brother, I don’t regret it at all. “It would not be enough to invest several times the Dalkad family’s gold coins.”
“?!?!?!”
The nobles wondered if the headmaster’s student was a professor and not a second year student.
Otherwise there was no explanation.
Same with what I did last year…
“If Wardanaz-kun asks, I can just erase the Kraha family’s debt.”
Mrs. Kraha spoke with much affection.
If we summarize what the boy from the Wardanaz family did for Guynando, he could have invested dozens of times more than that.
“Is that true?!”
The skeleton principal shouted in surprise.
The death knights, who were equally astonished, now seemed to understand how their master’s heir had persuaded the officials.
It would have been enough to just go and talk to him!
‘I didn’t have enough faith!’
‘Maybe that’s real magic.’
But Lee Han refused.
“No… I’m a bit sorry about that. “Thank you for extending it.”
“Come here for a moment.”

The skeleton principal was trying to be happy, but then he looked down. He immediately took his disciple and moved to a corner.
“Why are you doing this? “Did the Baldrogards secretly invite you?”
“yes? Is it possible to transfer to Baldrogard?”
Lee Han asked out of pure curiosity. Death Knight answered instead.
-You said you were offered the job as a professor, not as a student.
“quietly! Your wife is doing you a favor, so why are you refusing it? “That is also rude!”
“That’s right, it’s Gainando’s property, so we can’t just throw it away…”
“……”
The death knights clapped silently. I was moved by friendship.
Of course, from the skeleton principal’s perspective, it was just the sound of his suit exploding.
“If you think about the Kraha family’s treasury, it’s an amount that won’t even be noticed…!”
“Can’t you just be nice to Guyando and ask your wife for something?”
“That is against the sacred rules of Einroguard.”
The skeleton principal flatly refused, but Lee Han cast a suspicious look.
Although he said it was for equality, I suspected that he just wanted to harass the students.
“Anyway, I did what you said. “Isn’t an indefinite extension good enough?”
Instead of answering, the skeleton principal grumbled in an ancient language. Thanks to learning under his crazy alter ego, Lee Han was able to understand the words, ‘Raising disciples is useless.’
“Then I will convince you and come back.”
“?”
The skeleton principal did not understand his student’s words for a moment.
Are you even trying to convince me?
Of course, there were some nobles who remained and were stubborn, but they could not be persuaded separately.
I thought I would just push it and convince them based on the number of nobles who currently support it…
I wondered if the knights thought that too.
-How are you trying to convince me?
-Aren’t you trying to hand over Professor Verdus?
-No way… But if that’s really the plan, I might want to see it a little bit…
“everyone. “The principal made an unreasonable request, but I had no intention of just asking.”
“!”
The nobles were agitated by Lee Han’s words.
“You can just ask…”
“be quiet. Mr. Kraha.”
Ioanen covered Mrs. Kraha’s mouth. I was curious about what he was trying to say.
“then?”
“Actually, I happened to meet an ancient undead and was told the location of the old graveyards of several families. “If it’s okay with you, I’ll let you know, so you can be generous and show mercy…”
“Come here for a moment.”
The skeleton principal looked back with a straight face. The surprised nobles tried to continue listening, but the skeleton headmaster was one step faster.
“What did you just say? “How do you know the location of the old cemetery that was destroyed?”
“The Chamberlain wrote it down.”
‘Interendals!’
Realizing the culprit, the skeleton principal closed his eyes tightly.
During the Three Kingdoms, the Chamberlain once offered his allegiance to the thought form of the desire for honor and was showing great talent in turning the skeleton headmaster upside down.
The skeleton principal opened his mouth, regretting that he should not have accepted it in the distant past.
“Disciple. Have you ever thought about this? For those who don’t even know where their ancestors’ ancient graves are, do they really have the right to take care of them? “This is the thought.”
“I haven’t tried it.”
“The ancient and evil artifacts inside… Isn’t it the wizard’s responsibility to take charge and control these artifacts? “What do you think?”
“You can just go with me as a reference when we go in together.”
“……”
If a student was smart, he would often upset his teacher.
This was doubly so if the student was smart and good-natured.
Lee Han spoke honestly.
“Actually, I couldn’t tell you because the Chamberlain wrote something separately.”
While Intarendals was flipping through the book of his crazy alter ego, he organized the remaining reagents and items in the workshop separately and handed them over to Lee Han.
Among them was a handwritten note.
The old tombs of various families that might be helpful to the disciple, the old tombs of the Dalkad family (the Chamberlain gave permission to just take these and use them), etc.
And at the end it was written like this:
…Give it back to the descendants of each family, but never hand it over to the lord of Einrogard…
“……”
The skeleton principal sighed deeply.
Then he asked the knights as if he truly did not understand.
“Did I treat Interendals that harshly? Are you saying that my refusal to conquer the continent is something I will retaliate against until the end of the world?”
-Well, we are doing well…
The death knights avoided eye contact.
This wasn’t really a topic for them to comment on.
* * *
Eullandam, the magic tower lord and archmage who leads the Daylily Magic Tower, narrowed his eyes at the skeleton headmaster’s request for a visit.
“Why is Lord Gonadaltes coming?”
“Are you perhaps trying to apologize for your rudeness last time?”
The wizards of the Daylily Magic Tower visited the Einroguard territory to confine the thought form, but they suddenly got angry and chased them out, telling them to go away.
It was an absurd treatment for the wizards who had hurriedly completed their rigorous training for great magic.
But the skeleton principal is visiting with his student.
I wondered if he was trying to apologize.
“Is it possible for your Excellency to do that?”
Eullandam, who looked like a villager except for the clothes she was wearing, deepened the wrinkles on her face and lit a long cigarette pipe.
As a great wizard, Elandam made a cool-headed guess, unlike the wizards under his command.
“Maybe they’re trying to delay paying their debt. “Wizards are always in trouble.”
In fact, the madmen were not limited to Einrogard.
There were a lot of magicians at the Magic Tower who were crazy, and because of that, they were always struggling with their budget.
However, the scale of Einroguard is overwhelmingly large!
“dare…! “No matter what, you can’t insult me like that!”
“That’s true.”
Elandame puffed away at the smoke. The old archmage, who was staring into space with cloudy eyes, asked as if he did not understand.
“But you’re not the kind of person who comes without a plan, so I’m curious what you’re thinking.”
“You said you were visiting with your student… Are you planning to reuse the method you used under Professor Kim?”
At those words, the complexions of all the wizards present changed.
Professor Garcia’s incident was a painful memory for everyone.
Everyone fell for the skeleton principal’s words and spread the word like crazy, saying, ‘That wizard might come to our magic tower!’
“…no way. Would your Excellency use such a method twice? “Unless you think we’re idiots.”
“But I heard that your student is an excellent wizard.”
“stop. Be quiet. “I don’t even want to hear it.”
“S-sorry.”
The wizard bowed his head in response to Elandame’s warning.
A moment of silence.
The archmage, who was worried, quietly asked.
“How great a wizard is he?”
‘…we might be idiots…’
