Episode 302
“They keep glaring at me. “What if I stare at you like that every time I come to visit?”
As Guy Nando whined, Lee Han thought of a good solution.
This was something I had already said to Asan.
“You can just leave the mansion.”
“uh?”
“What would happen if I walked around outside?”
“Oh… are you going to play with me?”
“If you want.”
Gaynando’s face brightened. Ratford felt sad to see that.
‘It’s probably a little different from what you think…’
* * *
As he spoke, Lee Han, who had called Asan, walked away with his friends.
Gainando asked with a very expectant look on his face.
“Are you going to buy a wizard card?”
“no.”
“Are you going to buy the new magazine?”
“It’s not.”
“Then where are you going?”
“The Richmond family.”
“???”
Gainando and Asan tilted their heads at Lee Han’s words.
It took me a while to accept it because it wasn’t a family with a familiar name.
If it’s the Richmond family…
“Where was it?”
“You don’t know the Richmond family?”
Lee Han looked at his friends as if they were dumbfounded. My friends were intimidated, like students who got a very easy test question wrong.
“S-sorry. “What family was the Richmond family from?”
“It’s a family that runs one of the leading carriage transport guilds in the empire.”
“……”
“……”
How do you know that!
While the two were puzzled, Yoner nodded as if he understood.
“ah. that’s right. It did.”
“look. Yoner knows. “It’s surprising that you don’t know that.”
“……”
“……”
While Asan and Gainando were speechless, the group arrived at their destination.
The building of the Richmond Shipping Guild, located on the outskirts of the city, was reminiscent of a huge warehouse.
“Hey, you bastard! “Can’t you see the carriage is here now!”
“That’s what I’m going to say! “If you don’t move the carriage right away, I’ll send you to the temple!”
The drivers in charge of the carriage were trying their best to get the carriage into the warehouse as quickly as possible, and the guild employees were moving without stopping for even a second, lowering and raising boxes.
“It looks like Joner’s mansion.”
“?!”
Yoner was startled by Ihan’s muttering.
‘Did my house look that messy…?’
Yoner promised himself that when he returned to the mansion, he would tell them not to have too many people waiting in front of the mansion.
“The carriage to Kvalgen City is over!”
“depart! depart!”
“Shiles?”
“?!”
Shiles of the Richmond family, who was shouting loudly among the workers, was surprised when his friends came to visit.
* * *
“I was really grateful. Wodanaz.”
Shiles held out his pocket and expressed his sincere gratitude.
Lee Han was impressed by the sincerity of the person who gave him money right away without any hassle.
‘Other friends should also follow this example.’
“what’s the matter?”
As Lee Han glanced at them, his friends looked puzzled.
“It is nothing. really. Shiles. “There is one thing I would like to discuss.”
“To me? “Tell me anything.”
Shiles was slightly surprised.
This is something that Ihan of the Wardanaz family would ask him to do. He had no idea what it would be like.
‘Is there anything that needs to be transported secretly?’
Is there something important that needs to be moved without being noticed by members of your family…
“Do you know anything about lucrative short-term jobs in the city that wizards can do?”
“…Um…Hmm??”
Shiles was perplexed.

Lee Han’s words were very unexpected.
But Lee Han was serious.
‘Good jobs must be found in advance.’
Wizards were a high-quality workforce anytime, anywhere, but there weren’t many places where they could work.
To be precise, the wizard’s ransom was too high.
Just by calling a skilled wizard to unload and load the packed luggage into the carriage behind him, the time could be shortened in an instant…
If that were the case, labor costs would soon become more than profits.
There are many places to work, but there are only a few places where a wizard can work while receiving silver equivalent to the ransom.
Moreover, here in Grandeur City, excluding Lee Han, there are quite a few students who graduated from Einrogard.
Considering the number of seniors, decent short-term jobs will disappear in an instant.
‘We have to find it as quickly as possible.’
“Are you kidding…”
Shiles, who started speaking, stopped when he saw Lee Han’s burning eyes.
That was definitely not the look in the eyes of someone who was joking.
‘No, why are the Blue Dragon Tower students working…’
It wasn’t surprising that students from Black Turtle Tower, Phoenix Tower, or White Tiger Tower were looking for work.
Because a lot of people were actually doing that.
As the cost of living in Grandeur City is high, it is rare for students to not work at all during vacation.
But the Blue Dragon Tower students…
There’s no need for that, right?
“First of all… I don’t know much either. “I only heard stories from my friends and guild staff.”
“Anything is fine. “Tell me.”
“Uh, it’s a bit like escorting a carriage or something like that, isn’t it?”
The empire’s territory was vast, and traveling long distances naturally carried risks.
From monsters to thieves.
Naturally, the carriage procession was not only accompanied by a coachman but also escorts.
Cheap cargo was fine, but when moving expensive and important items, high-level personnel such as wizards were also involved.
“It’s a bit like that. “If you participate incorrectly, you won’t be able to make it to the start of the next semester.”
“Well… right. First of all, I heard that there is a job to teach people who have a talent for magic…”
Lee Han nodded and took notes.
It was definitely a pretty good thing.
Not everyone had talent enough to enter the Imperial School of Magic. Some people had magical talents but didn’t realize it and just lived with them.
Sometimes, among those people, there were cases where they decided to learn magic, even if it was too late.
The categories were also diverse. Adventurers, mercenaries, merchants, sailors, explorers, etc.
Teaching magic to these people was quite popular among Einrogard students.
“for a moment. “We are first graders. Can I teach you?”
“First of all, they said that being a first year student at Einrogard is enough.”
“Right. next?”
“Oh, no. “More here?”
Shiles pulled his brain as hard as he could as he looked at Lee Han’s eyes.
“Ah, this doesn’t always happen, but they said requests to collect materials are good.”
“Request to gather materials?”
Lee Han paused.
Usually, such things were done by adventurers with little experience or errand boys.
Of course, it is a highly difficult material, so there is a huge prize money and veteran adventurers come forward, but…
There was no way such a request would be popular among students.
“Isn’t it okay for other people to do this?”
“ah. “They say there are ingredients that only wizards can collect.”
‘aha.’
Lee Han understood.
Among the materials, there were some that could only be mined using magic.
“Shiles. “If you get a request like this, please tell me.”
“No… why on earth… uh, yeah. i get it. “I owe you a lot, so that’s it.”
“But is there more?”
“……”
Shiles desperately racked his brain once again.
I’m not crazy because I can’t work, but…
“that’s right! “I also assist with the wizard’s experiments!”
“That’s a bit like that.”
“?!”
When Lee Han immediately expressed his refusal, Shiles was taken aback.
“why? “I heard this is a really good job.”
“Shiles. When it comes to unfamiliar wizards, you have to be wary first. “I know what experiments to do.”
Lee Han said very seriously.
In fact, as a person who was going through a lot of trouble after meeting a strange wizard by mistake, I was very worried about Shiles’ complacent perception.
Even if it is an experiment with an ordinary name such as <Repetitive Experiment of Basic Magic Combat>, it can become a strange experiment that unleashes all kinds of attacks on the test subjects when they actually participate.
“Ah… no. Wardanaz. Of course, he is an unfamiliar wizard, but he is a wizard who has built up trust and a reputation in this city. Not a criminal wizard with a bounty on his head. He couldn’t possibly be doing strange experiments, right…?”
“no.”
Lee Han answered firmly.
“can do. Remember this. Do you understand?”
“Uh, uhm…”
Shiles was overwhelmed by Lee Han’s power and nodded.
I still didn’t understand the logic, but Lee Han’s voice contained sincerity that went beyond logic.
“But assisting a wizard’s experiments is a really good job. Wardanaz. Just because you want it doesn’t mean you can get it right away… Wouldn’t it be okay to listen to the experiment and choose a good one?”
A wizard’s experiment was not necessarily dangerous.
Observing and recording unusual magical phenomena occurring near the city also became an experimental aid.
“i get it. “If you say that, let’s consider it.”
“No, it’s really good…”
After roughly organizing things, Lee Han raised his head and asked.
“So, Shiles. “What are you doing here?”
“me? I can’t do it because I’m busy. “I need to help with guild work.”
Lee Han was intrigued.
In fact, I didn’t even know the bluebird was close by.
“Does the transport guild make money?”
“no. “I don’t get paid, but I do it because it’s our family’s business.”
“Oh my. Shiles. Even if you are a family member, working without pay is not a good idea. “You are undermining your self-worth.”
“…Oh, no… It’s our family’s business…?”
As Lee Han gave that advice and was about to stand up, a guild member ran up and spoke to Shiles.
“young master. I was urgently looking for a wizard to organize reagent inventory at the top next to me. How about you go? “It was quite salty.”
“no. Look at our warehouse. I have to finish organizing it within today. “Can’t you see that the coachmen are trying to cause a riot now?”
“It just worked out. That request. “We’ll take care of it.”
“?!”
“??!”
Shiles was taken aback by Lee Han’s words, the guild members were taken aback, and Lee Han’s friends behind him were also taken aback.
“Wardanaz nega?”
“If it’s a job that requires a wizard, isn’t the pay good?”
“Oh, no. “The pay is fine, but it would be boring and annoying.”
“Remuneration is important. “Then can I take care of it?”
“Uh… uh.”
Lee Han stood up, took the paper, and leisurely left. His friends followed him and went out.
The guild member, whose mouth was still open, finally came to his senses and asked.
“Ah… no. young master. Those friends are nobles, right? But why?”
Shiles deeply sympathized with the guild member’s words.
That’s right!
* * *
“Wizard, you’re also a student at Einrogard? “You are absolutely welcome!”
The employee at the top who was shouting excitedly looked up and was surprised.
‘They’re nobles!?’
“…Well, you know what we’re doing at the top, right?”
“Aren’t you going to go through the warehouse, check reagents, and organize inventory?”
“Yes, that’s right… you must be bored. “It won’t be fun…”
“But the pay is good, right?”
“That’s right, but… thank you very much.”
Lee Han and his group headed to the warehouse.
Nilia, Ratford, and Yoner didn’t think anything of it, but Gaynando and Asan were still in shock.
“Why are you doing this?”
“I guess it’s because I studied magic. It must be Wodanaz.”
While the two were whispering, familiar faces appeared in front of the warehouse.
It was the Salco gang.
“!!”
Salko and his friends were surprised to see Lee Han and his group.
“Wardanaz! “What brings you here?”
“I came to work.”
“you…”
Salko was speechless for a moment and then shouted in an admiring voice.
“…is such a great guy!”
“Are we really working?”
Gainando’s whispers were scattered in vain.
