Episode 318
‘Is this really okay?’
Yoner didn’t understand.
Sister, Joanen’s specialty is pushing alchemists who are doing well enough to break their minds.
What was even more absurd was that he had no malicious intent.
Just being faithful to alchemy.
Yoner expected that when he returned, Ihan’s face would be distorted or stained with pain.
Even at Einroguard, he was the top friend of his grade who showed crazy behavior by taking magic classes at all schools, so he might not run away, but…
Still, wouldn’t it be difficult to completely withstand Yoanen’s crazy obsession?
But Lee Han’s expression was very calm. It was like a lake without any wind blowing.
“Have you started working yet?”
“here. <Dobruk’s Illusion Potion>.”
Ioanen looked at the potion in the flask lovingly and shook it.
It was a potion that Yoner had seen several times before, but he could feel that it was different from that potion.
‘Is that dark color, the color of magic? then…’
Stronger magical power than usual and a friend called in to help with the task.
Yoner could not help but think of Ihan.
“Did you help with the work?”
“huh.”
“Wasn’t it difficult?”
“I only took on the role of assistant.”
“Uh… huh??”
Yoner was taken aback by Lee Han’s words.
It wasn’t even an auxiliary task or any other work, but rather the role of Ioanen’s assistant.
Joner knew very well what being Joanen’s assistant meant. There was absolutely no way her sister would stay still.
“are you okay…??”
“It was difficult. But most of the work was done by Makin here.”
“There is no need to be too humble. Thanks to you, a good potion was created.”
Ioanen looked very satisfied. Joner was honestly surprised by this unusual sight.
It’s really rare to make an expression like that.
It’s an expression that’s hard to come by without replacing dozens of alchemists…
“Are you really okay? No, just tell me what happened one by one.”
“Don’t do it here, let’s talk over lunch.”
Ioanen gave his brother and his friend a break.
Joner was once again surprised by that generous attitude.
“Is it okay if I have lunch!? “Are you working?”
“Don’t be so mean in front of guests. “You must misunderstand.”
“…!!!!!!!”
Yoner only blinked in frustration.
Who was the one who usually focused on work, ignoring food and other things when work wasn’t finished?
Yoanen, the alchemist in charge of the main work, was not eating, so of course the assistant alchemist in charge of the auxiliary work could not eat.
There were many experienced alchemists in the workshop here, but none of them wanted to take on the role of Joanen’s assistant.
Usually, an unlucky newbie would take charge and run away crying…
“…it’s okay. Let’s have lunch. “Lee Han.”
“I guess I should go to the mansion and eat.”
“Let’s eat here in the workshop. “Don’t worry, you won’t receive assimilation from a working alchemist.”
Lee Han, who was about to leave, stopped and nodded.
“It’s a good workshop.”
“…How on earth did that sound come out when I saw it when I came in earlier…”
* * *
Pahu Seok, an alchemist who has been working in the workshop for 8 years, did not pay much attention even though Yoner of the Makin family visited with his friend.
Anyone who takes on the role of Joanen’s assistant, whether it’s Yoner’s friend or His Majesty’s friend, won’t last long.
The new record that was updated last time was about 23 minutes, so I’ll make an excuse and go back in about 15 minutes.
That’s why Pahuseok couldn’t help but be surprised to see a red-haired girl and a black-haired boy sitting at the table in front of them and eating.
‘no!?’
It seemed that Pahu-seok was not the only one who was surprised. The other alchemists were also whispering and looking at Lee Han.
“What happened?”
The alchemist who was eating flat bread in bean soup mixed with spices spoke in a low voice.
“…It looks like the new assistant survived.”
“what!?!”
“Shh. “Your voice is too loud.”
“Oh, no… I’m sorry. “Stop being so surprised.”
Pahuseok almost dropped the bowl of fried rice he was holding.
I can’t believe you endured the morning as Ioanen’s assistant.
Plus, surprisingly, he was out for lunch.
Doesn’t that mean that Joanen gave permission to go to lunch?
“How on earth? “Is it because you’re my brother’s friend?”
“Makin is not that kind of person.”

“Well, you’re not that kind of person.”
The workshop alchemists were quickly convinced.
Ioanen was not someone I would consider my younger brother’s friend.
If he had been someone who could take the situation into account and act flexibly, the dozens of people who tried for the position of assistant wouldn’t have all been kicked out.
“No way… no way… I really don’t think so, but isn’t there a possibility?”
“What do you want to say?”
“I passed the exam as an assistant…”
“Does that make any sense?”
The workshop alchemists categorically denied it.
There’s no way Ioanen could have gotten accepted as an assistant that easily.
It was clear there was another reason.
“But there is another reason… Moreover, as far as I know, that boy from the Wardanaz family won the battle against the wizard from Baldrogard this time…”
“It doesn’t matter whether you won the battle against the wizard or defeated the basilisk.”
“uh? Did you know? “The news is fast.”
“What are you talking about? no. Anyway, that’s not the point. You know that an alchemist’s abilities are completely different. Anyway, as an alchemist, there is no worse habit than making hasty predictions. Wait until you ask Makin directly. “It probably wasn’t an assistant role.”
“is it…”
Eventually, when Yoanen came out, some of the alchemists quickly walked over and asked questions. Pahu-seok was one of them.
“Makin. “He hasn’t left yet. Are you sure you’ve done a good job of being his assistant?”
Even as they asked the question, the alchemists waited for another answer.
In the morning, I did other things like organizing inventory or figuring out tools…
But Ioanen seemed satisfied and shook the potion.
“…!!!”
“What… this is ridiculous!”
“Can the blood of the Wardanaz family withstand even Makin’s madness?”
The alchemists tried to accept reality, but it was not easy.
How can a student who is still that young?
“That’s really amazing… Is it because you’re from Einrogard?”
“You know it has nothing to do with Einrogard. “The wizard who ran away last time was also from Einrogard.”
“Oh. “This is not the time.”
One of the alchemists came to his senses and started putting food into it.
On top of the fresh oysters mixed with seasoning, the alchemist lightly poured the restorative potion he was about to drink.
Another alchemist took out a smoked eel and sprinkled the mental recovery powder he was planning on eating instead of the spices.
Pahu-seok added a potion of concentration to the pumpkin porridge. It was a precious potion, but that student deserved it.
widely-
“??”
“Please eat this too.”
“This too.”
“This too.”
“…???”
Lee Han, who was chatting with Yoner, was embarrassed to see the alchemists adding food and leaving.
‘Is this like a hazing ceremony to welcome new members?’
“What does this mean?”
“It means to work for a long time and not collapse.”
Yoner said with a sigh.
As the alchemists who worked as Yoanen’s assistants fell away like fallen leaves, it was natural for the alchemists in the workshop to have such expectations.
Of course, from my friend’s perspective, the actions of the alchemists in that workshop were very unpleasant.
In short, isn’t it asking people to take a potion and work for a long time?
Lee Han said with a slightly touched face at Yoner’s explanation.
“This is a really good workshop.”
“Lee Han. “I think the standard for saying you’re good is too low…”
* * *
Even after the meal, Lee Han did an excellent job.
Seeing Lee Han’s ability to complete any task at once, Ioanen seemed not to want to send him back to Einrogard.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“no. “I was able to learn a lot.”
After finishing everything, Lee Han shook hands with Ioanen.
It wasn’t that the work wasn’t hard, but the bag of silver coins Joanen gave me made me forget about the fatigue.
Similar to the professors at Einrogard, aren’t they much better people in that they give you silver coins for doing work?
“sister. “Let go.”
“…When do you think you’ll come next time?”
“Let go.”
Yoner whispered. Ioanen was not letting go of his hand.
“I have a lot of other commitments this week, so I think it will be difficult to attend.”
“What about next week?”
“I remember Wednesday was probably free next week.”
“Then will you come and help me on Wednesday?”
“I will try.”
“In case you forgot, shall we send someone to the Wardanaz family?”
“no. “I will remember.”
Only after Joner stepped on his foot several times did Joanen let go of his hand.
As Yoanen entered the workshop waving his hand, Lee Han muttered in a voice that he was a little worried.
“You seem a bit like Professor Einrogard.”
“little? little??”
“really. “Yoner.”
Lee Han took out the ring and helmet he had brought with him. Yoner was intrigued by the appearance of an artifact he had never seen before.
“Why is this?”
“To sell.”
“…huh?”
Lee Han explained where he got these artifacts and why he was selling them.
If there were other friends, they would say, ‘Still, we’re wizards, so wouldn’t it be a bit weird to sell artifacts like that for money? I would have said, ‘Let’s disassemble it and study it!’ but…
Yoner was immediately convinced.
“indeed. “If that’s the case.”
“yes? “I’m going to look around some of the stores in the central area.”
Since the central area of Grandeur City is where the city’s nobles reside, there were shops that traded rare artifacts.
Lee Han planned to go around those stores and ask, ‘How long have you been researching?’
“Shall I introduce you to a store I know?”
“Thank you for that, but is it okay?”
“huh. “I was treated like that by my sister, so I have to do something like this.”
“I didn’t really get hit…”
Yoner ignored him and led the way.
‘Greenbell’s vaporizer? Is this the Greenbell family’s store?’
Lee Han was intrigued by the name of the family he had met the last time he visited the Dalkad family’s mansion.
Even though the sun was slowly setting, bright light streamed through the window.
By looking at the color or brightness of the magic light, you can guess the purity of the magic power and whether an expensive or cheap artifact is being used.
‘It’s definitely an expensive place.’
“welcome.”
The clerk, who had not a speck of dust on his clothes, greeted the two so politely that his forehead touched the ground.
It was a natural reaction as the visiting guest was a guest.
There were a few customers who had arrived earlier, and they were looking at the artifacts while listening to explanations from other clerks.
“So this is a bracelet that increases luck, right?”
“That’s right. customer.”
“How much does it increase your luck? Can I draw the card I want?”
“I’m not a wizard, but I know that luck can’t be quantified that way. customer.”
“Ugh… Is there anything else besides this? “I can win more confidently… by shuffling the cards the way I want… or by being able to see the cards my opponent has… or something like that.”
The clerk’s eyebrows rose slightly.
Although it is a store that sells artifacts, it does not sell all artifacts.
As it is a high-class store, it does not handle blatantly fraudulent artifacts.
The expression on the clerk’s face right now was close to ‘As a noble, are you looking for an artifact to use for such a trick?’
“Oh, no. “I don’t intend to use it for card games.”
“Gainando?”
“?!”
Gainando turned his head and was surprised to see his two friends.
Then he quickly covered his face with his cloak.
“It’s not even Kainan.”
“……”
“……”
