Episode 300
While Lee Han was frowning and trying to recall his memories, the royal family began to take action.
Prince Bo Jiajun tapped the table with his fingers and spoke.
“Looking at the heavy weight of the egg, it doesn’t look like a flying creature.”
The princess, Juderanthas, immediately began to refute.
“It’s a problem that can’t necessarily be thought of that way. “Even among flying creatures, there are some that are heavy.”
“I know. However, for guessing, choose a high-probability option…”
“That is wrong.”
“The thing that’s wrong is that the escort driver was involved in the bribery case… hmmm.”
“… Well, since we couldn’t solve the plague in Kldran Village, we can’t even answer something as obvious as this… Hmm.”
‘no. ‘It’s more fun than I thought.’
Lee Han, who was listening from the side, seemed to understand why nobles followed the royal family and participated in meetings.
It was more fun than I thought to see the royal family fighting against each other.
Of course, the nobles didn’t follow around with such evil thoughts, but…
Tuk-tuk-
“?”
Lee Han turned his head. When I looked back, I saw Aden Arth, the princess belonging to the same tower, standing there.
Aden Arth slightly bowed his head in gratitude and handed Lee Han a well-wrapped pouch.
Lee Han was greatly moved when he saw that.
‘Befitting the royal family, you know grace!’
Last time, Eunhye stopped the princess from being forced to do a difficult task because of her followers.
I can’t believe you didn’t forget that and tried to pay back with silver like this.
‘The future of the empire is bright.’
“thank you.”
Lee Han answered and untied the wrapping string.
Then the silver coin sparkling inside…
…It didn’t come out, but a shiny medal did.
“????”
When a medal came out instead of a silver coin, Lee Han was momentarily embarrassed.
what?
‘aha. Silver coins have limitations in weight and volume, so they gave them highly convertible jewelry instead.’
Lee Han was once again impressed by the princess’ consideration.
As expected, he was the top student in his grade… no, he was an outstanding intelligence befitting a second class member.
They give me jewelry that I can sell right away.
“Wardanaz. “It’s a return favor.”
“……”
Lee Han’s frown frowned at the follower’s kind explanation.
Thank you.
It was a gift given by the family as a sign of gratitude when a member of the family was indebted to them.
If you play this card when you need help, you can receive help from that family anytime, anywhere.
Adenart also had a powerful maternal family, so the value of this token of gratitude was also great…
‘…I’ll just give you silver coins.’
However, it was of little use to Lee Han.
It’s not like Lee Han is going into politics with the support of the royal family, nor is he going into imperial social circles…
Moreover, it was difficult to exchange this kind of token of appreciation for silver coins. If you are unlucky enough to get caught wrongly, it will be like ignoring the sincerity of the opposing family.
Lee Han suppressed a sigh and answered pretentiously.
“To receive something like this… I feel like it’s too much.”
“haha. no. “The princess is very grateful to Wardanaz for his dedication.”
“Can I really accept something like this?”
“yes! of course.”
The princess also nodded, looking intently at him as if asking him to accept it.
When his attempt to receive something else failed, Lee Han held back his bitterness and put the medal away.
“Thank you.”
“for a moment. “What are you giving me freely?”
Bogajun looked at Aden Arth’s follower and spoke with a straight face.
While Bogajun and Juderanthas were arguing, Aden’Arth was trying to take a talented person as he pleased.
Juderantas also stopped arguing and intervened.
“You’re trying to force me to give you a reward. “Don’t you know that if you force a favor, it will be a nuisance?”
‘Surprisingly, you know how to say the right things.’
However, Aden Arth’s followers were not easy.
“You’re giving it away arbitrarily? Mr. Bogajun. This was given to me by Aden Arth as a token of gratitude to my friend. “The two of you are studying together at Einrogard.”
“Tsk…”
“Ugh.”
Bogajun and Juderanthas simultaneously let out a sigh and disintegrated.
There was no better excuse to make friends than the fact that we were studying at the same school.
‘Such a coward…’
‘I can’t believe you’re using the fact that you’re a student at Einrogard like this.’
When the two royal family members were speechless, the follower continued speaking triumphantly.

“Do you understand? “Wardanaz is a close friend of the princess.”
“?”
Lee Han tilted his head.
Did you?
‘Are we that close… that close?’
Of course, he cooked a meal for me, and since we were in the same tower, we did various things together, but I was a little curious as to whether he was a close friend.
Even with friends…
“Hehe! Hehehe! Hehehe!”
Gainando probably thought so too and tried to protest strongly.
‘If you’re friendly, I’m friendlier!’
Of course, since the other words were sealed, it had no effect.
“Quiet. “There are a lot of eyes watching.”
Yoner stabbed Gaynando in the side.
Lee Han did his best to help me save face in front of the nobles who came to today’s meeting, but now he’s trying to kick it away.
This cousin should have been more grateful.
“joy. Friendships at school are like a joke. “Just because we learned together doesn’t mean we will serve.”
“You rarely say something right. that’s right. “Isn’t it more strange to think that you will serve someone just because you are a little familiar with them?”
The two royal families changed direction and tried to shake their friendship.
Of course, neither Lee Han nor Aden Arth were shaken.
Aden Arth was originally an expressionless person, and Lee Han didn’t really think anything of it.
‘It’s not wrong.’
It made no sense to serve someone just because they went to the same school.
By that logic, Gainando already has followers…
“really. “How about trying to guess the identity of that egg?”
“I think you can do it well.”
Bogajun and Juderanthas suggested a riddle to gain Lee Han’s favor.
Of course, that was not an action to win Lee Han’s favor at all.
‘Why do these kids keep saying they don’t want to do it?’
It would have been better if they had just fought among themselves, but trying to involve Lee Han was extremely annoying.
At the moment when he was about to reject the offer, something crossed Lee Han’s mind.
‘!’
Al looks strangely familiar.
I felt like I saw it somewhere…
‘Basilisk egg!!’
I vividly remember being disappointed when Professor Boladi received it. It made me wonder why I only remembered it now.
“Isn’t that a basilisk egg?”
Lee Han asked in a slightly embarrassed voice.
Of course, it doesn’t really matter whether it’s a basilisk egg or a dragon egg, as long as it doesn’t hatch…
Isn’t it a little dangerous?
‘Do they usually ask riddles like this when the royal family gathers? It’s not even Einrogard?’
Brodon, the nobleman who brought the egg, laughed as if asking what he was talking about.
“It’s not a basilisk egg. Wardanaz.”
“Is that so?”
When the other person answered confidently, Lee Han paused. He wondered if he had seen it wrong.
“yes. Please believe me. “There’s no way you would bring such dangerous eggs to this meeting.”
“Where did you get it?”
“I bought it from a merchant?”
“……”
Lee Han’s face, which he was trying to believe, hardened.
It’s not an egg you raised or obtained, but an egg you bought from a merchant.
It suddenly became ominous.
‘…I guess it’ll be okay.’
When I thought about it, I thought that whether it was a basilisk egg or a dragon egg, it wouldn’t be much of a problem as long as there was no sign of it hatching.
After the meeting, I’ll take it back on my own…
Damn it!
When something came out from inside with the sound of an egg cracking, Lee Han reacted immediately.
“Everybody get down!”
The years of rigorous training at Einroguard did not betray Lee Han.
Thanks to this, I was able to draw my wand and cast a spell faster than anyone else.
“Ride up. “Spread out!”
A huge lump of water sprang out of thin air, transformed into a curtain and surrounded the glass case.
One of the most dangerous things when dealing with a basilisk is its evil eye.
The eyes of the basilisk, which casts a petrifying curse the moment it encounters it, were dangerous even for a newborn cub.
“I too… Ugh!”
“Stay still!”
“No, I…”
“You!”
Lee Han grabbed the backs of the prince and princess who were trying to intervene and crushed them behind the table and shouted to his friends.
“Remember what we did last time? Move like you did back then! Bow your head and look in the mirror! “Move!”
Lee Han set up a table and pushed the nobles behind it. So that you can’t make eye contact with Sa-an by sticking your head out for no reason.
Clink, bang!
There was the sound of glass breaking, and then a dull sound came out from the curtain of water.
Lee Han was surprised by the shock as if it would break through at any moment.
“It must be a cub, how?”
“ah! Wodanaz!”
Zolvabden, who was hiding under the table next to him, shouted as if he understood.
“Brodon often gives growth potions to take good care of the eggs!”
“……”
As a source in the imperial social world, Zolvabden was excellent at information.
Of course, it wasn’t very helpful information in the current situation!
Brodon, who had not yet fully grasped the situation, shouted as if denying reality.
“Maybe it’s not a basilisk?”
“No matter what, a guy who goes on a rampage like that must be a vicious guy! Everyone, don’t come out from behind the table! Sharkan, come out! Perkuntra, we need your strength!”
Lee Han, realizing that the situation was unusual, tried to hit the player with the strongest hand he had.
If you were to carelessly save, the situation could only escalate.
However, when Ihan halfway summoned Perkuntra, the water curtain was torn apart.
Chi-ik!
To my surprise, there was a burning sound coming from the curtain of water.
When the monster inside could not break through with force, it tore the water curtain with poison.
The image of a monster flashed within the torn gap.
Basilisk, a terrible monster born from a mixture of the souls of a snake and a rooster!
Pot!
The Basilisk must have sensed who the most threatening wizard was, and immediately raised the issue with Lee Han.
The vertically elongated pupils flashed and emitted an evil petrification curse.
“…He who made a contract with you calls you as you deserve!”
-????
However, Lee Han did not waver at all even after being cursed with petrification.
In fact, I was so focused on reciting the spell that I didn’t even notice that the Basilisk had cursed me with petrification.
Pot, pot, pot!
Curses of petrification were cast in succession, but Lee Han deflected them all.
And Perkuntra was summoned.
Rumble, rumble!
A thunderstorm and thunder roared indoors, and a huge lightning spirit began to take shape above Lee Han.
What kind of mess is this?! You really cause trouble wherever you go!
“…I’ll explain that later! A basilisk ahead is trying to escape! Please stop it!”
Hearing Lee Han’s urgent cries, Perkundra immediately grasped the situation.
It was not normal for a basilisk to be trapped within that watery curtain.
From the looks of it, there were quite a few people who were not wizards, which could have led to a major disaster.
Among the many mistakes you made today, the best choice you made was to summon me!
Perkuntra’s body swelled greatly and shot out like a thunderbolt.
And then I was crushed into a curtain of water.
Subdue a basilisk or anything else at once…
…You fainted, right?
“yes?”
He said he fainted. It looks like you’re exhausted.
Perkuntra removed the water curtain and showed the fallen basilisk. He lay down as if dead.
Sharkan also tapped the Basilisk. Despite this, the basilisk did not rise.
“Is that so?”
okay.
For a moment, an awkward silence hung between Lee Han and Perkuntra.
Lee Han said in an awkward voice.
“Anyway, thank you for coming.”
……
Perkuntra glared at Lee Han.
