Episode 321
Lee Han looked at Gai Nan Dao in confusion.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Ah… no. “Aren’t you mad because I ate a lot of snacks?”
“no.”
Lee Han sighed and went to the window.
And shouted.
“You are a professor.”
“look! “He’s a professor!”
Professor Verdus, who had his face on the ground, struggled and shouted.
The knights under Allarlong asked in confusion.
“But, master. “Why are you sneaking in, Professor?”
‘I’m curious about that too.’
Lee Han thought so, but he held back and said it nicely.
“Maybe there was a misunderstanding.”
“How on earth could there be such a misunderstanding…?”
Lee Han ignored the driver’s question, pretending not to hear it. And he asked the servant:
“Did you do that because I said I wasn’t there?”
Given Professor Verdus’s personality, the possibility was high enough.
Even if he heard that Lee Han wasn’t in the mansion, isn’t he the kind of person who would just break through and come in and then wait?
But the servant’s answer was unexpected.
“Oh, no. “I was caught sneaking in without asking.”
“……”
Lee Han was slightly worried about just sending Professor Verdus to the Grandeur City Guard.
* * *
Professor Verdus shook off the dirt and sat down, gnawing on the bark of a tree.
“So are you ready to make the artifact?”
Professor Verdus didn’t pay any attention even though the knights at the mansion grabbed him and threw him face down on the ground.
We only focus on creating artifacts.
Lee Han played it cool.
“You mean making an artifact? “I don’t know what you mean.”
“uh? “Didn’t we agree to do it together?”
“I have a bad memory…”
If it had been a skeleton principal, he would have grabbed it by the collar, saying, ‘How could this be a modification?’ But Professor Verdus was rather naive in this regard.
“ah. okay? Last time, you said you wanted to participate in artifact production. I was just incredibly passionate. “It’s a good thing that I got to do it now.”
“……”
Lee Han was speechless at the sight of Professor Verdus blatantly lying as soon as he said he had a bad memory.
What kind of person…
‘ah.’
Only then did Lee Han remember the helmet of wisdom.
Come to think of it, there is no one as expert as Professor Verdus when it comes to artifacts.
“professor. Please look at this artifact here.”
“What?”
Professor Verdus, who received the Helmet of Wisdom, looked around and immediately answered.
“It’s a nasty artifact. “I’m cursed.”
“Is that also the case? “Is there any way to break the curse?”
“Do you think it will be difficult?”
There were two types of curses on artifacts.
One is that an evil curse is placed on an otherwise healthy artifact.
In this case, the artifact could be used if the curse was lifted.
The other is an artifact created with an evil structure from the beginning.
In this case, there was no point in breaking the curse. The moment you unlock it, the power of the artifact will disappear.
The Helmet of Wisdom was typical of the latter.
“Ego artifacts usually have a ban on them that prevents them from harming their owners, but this one doesn’t have that. “If he wants something, he will put his master in danger.”
“Is that so. “I thought the professor would have a way.”
Lee Han muttered without thinking.
Then Professor Verdus suddenly got angry and shouted.
“I didn’t say there was no way!”
“No… why are you angry?”
“Stay still!”
Professor Verdus put down the bark he was gnawing on and began glaring at the helmet.
Lee Han was slightly taken aback by the unexpected reaction. Gainando whispered next to me.
“Professor, aren’t you too weak for provocation?”
“Hmm.”
It was true that he was too weak to provocation to hear something like that from Guy Nando.
But Lee Han left Professor Verdus alone.
‘Aren’t you going to change it to something useful?’
If that were the case, Lee Han planned to sell it with a title such as ‘A masterpiece created by the entire effort of Bible Verdus, the greatest artifact craftsman in Einrogard.’

“There is a way.”
“What is it?”
“He is intentionally selecting information and eliminating the ability to speak.”
“?”
Lee Han wondered what Professor Verdus was talking about.
“But you still have the ability to put your master in danger, right?”
“You can avoid that on your own.”
“……”
No matter what the Helmet of Wisdom says, as long as it is not said in secret, the listener can make a cool judgment.
That was Professor Verdus’ argument.
‘Right… Is that right?’
Lee Han felt that Professor Verdus’ logic made sense, but for some reason he did not want to admit it.
But it was also true that it was better than not changing anything.
“hmm. Then let’s change it. What do I need to do to change it?”
“I need to cast a few spells to dispel it and change the spell inside. “If I start working from now on, it will be finished by the time the sun rises.”
“What can I do to help you?”
“you? “I don’t have anything to help you with.”
Professor Verdus answered honestly.
These are magics that Lee Han cannot do yet, and there is no way to utilize his high magic power.
“Is that so. “Then I’ll just go and sleep.”
“okay. go to bed.”
Professor Verdus waved his hand, forgetting his original goal. Lee Han bowed politely and left the reception room.
“I guess I should go to bed. Sleep well everyone.”
“…uh… are you okay?”
“are you okay. are you okay.”
The servant was embarrassed, but Lee Han said hello to his friends and then went to his room to sleep.
The servant was confused as he saw Professor Verdus alone in the drawing room, holding on to his helmet.
Can I do this…?
Can this really happen!?
* * *
morning.
Professor Verdus asked, hitting the Helmet of Wisdom.
“hey. “Tell me your purpose.”
My goal is to increase the wisdom within myself, even if it means destroying my master…
“Good.”
It was truly an amazing achievement.
How can you change the performance of an artifact with ego in just one night?
It was a feat that even most artifact craftsmen would not be able to accomplish.
Despite such an amazing achievement, Professor Verdus was not particularly impressed. He yawned once and then he asked.
“Where is Wardanaz? “I need to make an artifact.”
“Um… Wardanaz went out with his friends 30 minutes ago. He said the professor seemed to be concentrating, so he wouldn’t interrupt.”
“……”
Professor Verdus frowned.
I’m not sure, but I felt strangely deceived.
* * *
“Are you sure you’ll be okay?”
“I just happened to go out early.”
Lee Han answered like that.
If I was forced to work with Professor Verdus someday, it would have been better to postpone it as long as possible.
Then at least until then, wouldn’t we be able to use it to survive?
Ratford glanced back with a worried expression. It seemed like he was worried about Professor Verdus’ reaction.
“Let’s stay at Cainando’s house today.”
“really?!”
Gainando’s eyes lit up.
Last time, other royal family members who were not even close to us came and disturbed us, but this time the story was different.
You can invite your friends and have a great time.
Gainando wriggled his fingers and touched the deck of cards in his arms.
Just as Lee Han, the top student in his grade, could easily recite the contents of the grimoire with his eyes closed, Kainando was also able to easily recite a list of activities to enjoy with his eyes closed.
Wizard card game, fighting game, pétanque, combat, horseback riding…
‘I shouldn’t play chess because Lee Han is too strong.’
“Ratford. “You brought it with you, right?”
“yes.”
“Yoner. “Did you say you have it too?”
“Because I always carry it with me.”
“!!”
Gainando became even more excited by the other friends’ conversations.
It was clear that the friends came out with wizard cards.
“Did you bring it with you?!”
“of course. “I need something to do when I get to your house.”
Lee Han answered and took out a book from his bag.
It was <About basic dark element magic and its applications>.
“……”
Gaynando’s face was distorted with sadness and bewilderment.
“what’s the matter?”
“Uh… it’s nothing…”
“You brought a book too, right? Cainando? “Let’s study black magic together.”
“I’m going to do some studying today that I’ve been putting off.”
“It’s nice to get together and study like this.”
Seeing Ihan, Ratford, and Yoner laughing and talking amiably, Gainando cried inside.
‘Magic isn’t everything in life…!’
* * *
‘I understand why the dark element is difficult.’
Lee Han, who had rented a private room, closed his eyes and concentrated on the dark element.
The basis of elemental magic is to feel the element and clearly embody it.
The dark element wasn’t that difficult in that respect. In fact, this was a difficult part for other wizards, but Lee Han had a specific idea in his head that was different from other wizards.
Just as this idea was helpful in dealing with the lightning element, it was also helpful in dealing with the dark element.
The problem was next.
‘Similar to the fire element.’
The water element was less likely to hurt its owner even if it failed to be controlled, and the lightning element disappeared before it could increase even if it failed to be controlled, but it was not a dark element.
If it is not controlled, it will hurt its owner and will not disappear.
If these elements make a mistake like the fire elements did…
Hwaaaaaaa!
The private room, which had bright light coming through the window, suddenly became dark.
It was not natural darkness. It was an artificial darkness created by magic. Inside, negative energy stirred and a cold chill hovered somewhere.
Lee Han threw away the leaves he had packed.
Then the leaf’s vitality faded and it instantly turned into a dead leaf.
It was a characteristic unique to the dark element that drained vitality.
‘…If you mess up, I’ll fall down.’
For warlocks who manipulate the dark element, the thought of depleting their own vitality and collapsing is like a companion. First of all, you need to be very careful about this.
Of course, the power of the dark element that I first learned was very weak. You could stay in that darkness for hours and not be out of breath. So, we must first start by strengthening the power of the dark element…
“?”
Lee Han looked at the dead leaf that had just been touched by the dark element.
Then I looked at the dark element reinforcement section.
‘I guess I can skip this part.’
…So if the power of the dark element has been sufficiently strengthened, the foundation for full-scale elemental magic has now been established. The key to operating dark element magic is that the wizard must be able to control the nature of vitality depletion. If he fails to do so, the wizard is wielding a sword that can cut even himself…
‘It would be nice if you always explained things like this.’
After reading the book, which explained things in unnecessary detail, Lee Han summoned the dark element again.
In short, a wizard who deals with the dark element should not be affected at all even if he or she touches that element.
‘In the end, you have to be able to control your own characteristics…’
The power of magic increases in proportion to magical power.
And what goes up together is the difficulty level of control.
For Lee Han, who had not yet fully mastered the fire element and was using various artifacts, the dark element was more difficult.
But you can’t get rid of the magical power…
‘Until we control it, do we have no choice but to treat it as the size of an ember like a fire element? Unlike the fire element, the dark element doesn’t seem to have any meaning then.’
“Lee Han! Lee Han!”
Kainando knocked on the door of the private room. Lee Han closed the book and answered.
“How many hours did you study?”
“…That’s not important right now! Good jobs are rolling in! “It’s something only a warlock can do!”
‘…could that be a good thing?’
Lee Han was suspicious for a moment.
