Episode 322
Magicians were basically a high-class workforce that was treated well wherever they went, but the supply was less than the demand…
There were sometimes exceptions there too.
In fact, there was no need to call him an exception and he could be called a warlock. He was usually a warlock.
Black magic was basically unpopular.
‘Even if it were me, I don’t think I would necessarily call a warlock.’
There are many other excellent schools of wizards, so there is no reason to call wizards from the dark magic school.
But this is something only a warlock can do.
It was very suspicious.
“Where did you hear that?”
“Ratford told me!”
“oh. “If that’s the case.”
“…for a moment. “Is there something strange?”
Guynando seemed to feel something strange in Lee Han’s different reaction when he heard Ratford’s name.
“What’s strange? “Let’s go quickly.”
“okay. “I don’t know what I’ll do, but it’s better than studying… oops.”
“Is it your study or mine…?”
* * *
Ratford was not a warlock, but he had a friend who was learning warlock.
It was Ymirg from the same tower.
The Black Turtle Tower friends shared closely with each other when interesting jobs came up, so it reached Ratford’s ears.
‘That’s true friendship.’
Lee Han couldn’t help but envy the friendship of the Black Turtle Tower friends.
The best the Blue Dragon Tower friends do is throw a party at the mansion and invite them…
“A long time. “Imirg.”
“long time no see!”
“Nice to meet you.”
Since there were not many first-year students learning black magic, the students had no choice but to be close to each other.
“Did you call Raphael too?”
“Why are you calling that bastard!? I do not need!”
…Some students were close to each other.
“White, I also told White Tiger Top… he said I need to rest because I’m tired.”
“Oh my.”
“What kind of article are you talking about if you can’t even take care of yourself? joy.”
Gainando continued to grumble as much as he always bickered with Rafadel.
“But it doesn’t really hurt, right?”
“Probably not.”
Lee Han, who knew the truth, muttered.
It was clear that he was probably less tired from the previous defeat of the Ghoul King.
‘But you’re less disciplined than I thought.’
Lee Han looked away, thinking of grabbing Rafadel by the collar if he heard.
“There’s nothing we can do about Rafadel, so let’s work harder instead. So Imirg. “Is it this way?”
“Yes.”
The place where Ymirg was leading the way was the southern district of the city, the general district.
This southern area felt different from the central area where nobles lived or the western area where guilds were located. It was a liveliness that only came out when people from all over came together.
The suspicious traveler with his entire body covered in a cloak, the merchant selling a suspicious potion named <Elixir of Lord Gonadaltes>, and the mercenary wearing five swords and even carrying a spear did not seem strange here.
“You bastard! Carrying a spear in the city. The city of Grande Grande looks funny! “Follow me!”
“Well, I was wrong!”
“……”
Of course, it was not a completely lawless area.
As we went down the road and headed towards the outskirts of the city, there were fewer and fewer people. Lee Han suddenly became curious and asked.
“But what kind of job is it?”
“Sir, security job.”
“Security?”
Lee Han was lost in thought at the unexpected name.
‘Is there any reason to appoint a wizard, especially a warlock, as a security guard?’
Wizards were expensive. If security was needed, it would be better to hire a few more seasoned adventurers or mercenaries.
Even if you hire them at a high price, many wizards are not used to combat than you think.
In the event of a raid or battle, there was a high possibility that the price would not be paid.
If I had to be specific, there might be ways to use it like a barrier or boundary magic…
‘Why a warlock?’
“Do you know where the security is?”
“Yes. Cemetery.”
“…aha.”
Lee Han was immediately convinced.
In a place like that, you might need a warlock…
“Gong, cemetery? “Were you going to the cemetery now???”
Of course, Gainando was different.

When I looked at Ymirg with betrayed eyes, Ymirg was also embarrassed.
“Why why? Is there a problem?”
“Cemeteries are scary!”
“……”
“……”
Lee Han and Ymirg were momentarily dumbfounded and speechless.
Is that what a warlock would do?
“Professor Mortum, weren’t there a few cemeteries around the Black Stone Hall?”
“And how scary that was! “Do I really have to go to a place where all that is gathered?!”
Gainando was disgusted and tried to hold on.
“I have summoned skeletons, and since I will be summoning more undead in the future, it would be better to get used to it in advance.”
“Why do I have to go to the cemetery when I can just meet the undead separately?”
“Gainando.”
“?”
“Life is about doing things you don’t want to do and getting silver coins. “Shut up and follow me.”
“……”
Guyando was downcast and followed. She asked Ymir as if she was worried about him.
“Can I do that?”
“are you okay. “You can buy me some cotton candy later after work.”
* * *
The gravedigger who was guarding the cemetery on the outskirts of Grande City was very happy with the appearance of the three.
“oh my! Wizards, welcome! It’s really nice to meet you. “I was already worried.”
“What are you worried about?”
“I was worried what would happen if there were no Einroguard students learning black magic this year. “There are still few warlocks in the city.”
“……”
The three students had shocked expressions.
Even in Einroguard, there were not many students learning black magic.
The easiest way to find skilled and solid wizards in Grandeur City is to hire Einroguard students who come out during vacation.
However, this year, it became a serious problem if none of the Einrogard students learned black magic.
“Still, I’m really glad that there are three of you!”
“Ah… yes.”
“But there aren’t that many warlocks?”
Gainando asked because he did not understand.
Even if you are from Einroguard, I think you can bring in warlocks from other places…
“oh my. You’re talking about big trouble. A warlock must be a much more trustworthy and trustworthy person than other wizards.”
“why?”
“Yeah…”
When the gravedigger hesitated, Lee Han answered for him.
“Are you afraid of taking the body out of the cemetery?”
“Huh… Hmm. I don’t think so. “It’s just unfortunate that there is prejudice against warlocks.”
“For that matter, it seems like accidents have been happening too consistently in the imperial newspapers…”
“ruler! “I will guide you to the cemetery.”
The gravedigger quickly changed the topic.
I didn’t want to list the list of accidents and harms done by warlocks in front of students learning black magic.
“There comes a period in the empire where the yin energy becomes stronger. As negative energy fills up everywhere, the power of the dead also becomes stronger. then…”
“Something strange could happen in a place like a cemetery.”
“you’re right. “He is also from Einrogard.”
The magic power that abounds in nature often causes all kinds of capricious phenomena.
Although it was not as bad as the sudden summoning of the Phoenix in Einrogard, it was not uncommon for the dead to rise and beings from other dimensions to come across the cracks due to the strength of negative magic.
The person who could best respond to this problem was, of course, a warlock. No matter how bad the perception was, black magic was one of the types of magic that was essential to the empire.
“But we have not yet learned the complex mysteries of black magic.”
“it’s okay. Even so, we do not leave everything to first-time students. There is a senior warlock here who can help you. “Dirette!”
“!”
Lee Han was surprised by the familiar name.
If it’s Delet, it’s definitely…
“I thought juniors would come… but there were more than I expected, right?”
A crow-like student with black wings flapping behind his back waved his hand and walked out of the cemetery tower.
It was Dilet, a fourth-year student at Einrogard, majoring in the school of black magic.
“senior! …Are you okay?”
Lee Han habitually glanced around. Die Lett nodded his head in understanding.
“You don’t have to worry about that because you won’t go to the punishment room if you just talk here.”
“okay. Fortunately, the.”
“And you won’t die if you go to the punishment room. “You will have to continue attending Einroguard from now on, so it would be good to learn how to get used to the punishment room.”
Guyando didn’t like what he was saying, but Lee Han took it seriously.
‘It’s definitely a good idea to prepare the punishment room in advance.’
Starting with how to break out of prison when trapped, to Plan B, which allows you to take a comfortable rest when breaking out of prison is difficult.
The good news was that he was close to Perkuntra, one of the wardens, but he could not be trusted.
And in Lee Han’s opinion, Perkund is a bit…
‘…mistakes are often made when it’s important.’
“Why are you two here anyway? “Isn’t it the Blue Dragon Tower?”
Direth was puzzled by the appearance of Lee Han and Gaynando.
Normally, a Blue Dragon Tower student would not do this.
Gainando responded immediately.
“I earn my own money!”
“what? Why do you do that? “If you can get it, you should go and get it.”
“……”
Gainando, who expected to hear praise, became sullen.
Lee Han did not say, ‘I am crazy about silver coins.’
From the looks of it, if I told him, there was a high possibility that he would be thought of as a strange person.
“I thought it was an opportunity to train my black magic.”
“……”
Delet looked at Lee Han with astonished eyes.
When I thought about it, this junior was a crazy genius who knew all schools of magic.
“Uh, huh. I see.”
‘what?’
Lee Han felt strange.
The response was even better than in Kainan Island…
“Still, it’s good that the three of us came. There were many times when it was less. Normally, this incident would have been explained by a third-year student, not me, but he has now gone to the East to look for a useful body.”
“Well, I see.”
This time it was Lee Han and his friends’ turn to stutter.
“The request was so earnest that I couldn’t refuse it.”
It was true that the gravediggers were crying and making earnest requests, and as a warlock, it was difficult to refuse.
In the end, Delet attended for this explanation.
“That’s great. In fact, if you offer several times the compensation, it would be a bit difficult to refuse…”
“what? no. “The pay is the same.”
Lee Han was surprised by Direth’s words.
“The pay is the same?”
“uh? uh…”
Delet was taken aback by the pressure his junior was putting on him.
“The gravekeepers deceived you. “I will go and protest.”
“No, no… we used to know each other, but to this extent…”
“It’s not possible. In fact, the more you know each other, the more thorough your money transactions should be!”
Direth felt a strange thought at the sight of his junior who was suspiciously serious about the silver coin.
‘This junior, you probably didn’t come to work because of the silver coins, right?’
* * *
“Basically, prevention is more important than reacting after the fact.”
Delet said, tapping the floor with his cane.
“That’s why you need to pay attention to the flow of magical power. “As your juniors have learned black magic, they will be able to better feel the magical power of negative energy.”
While Direth was explaining, adventurers passing by on the road above the cemetery passed by with frowns.
“Keck, they’re grave robbers, right?”
“Aren’t you trying to steal the body again?”
“don’t mind. These are people who can’t even talk to someone’s face. ruler. So… wait a minute. “Where has one of your juniors gone?”
Delet was embarrassed to see Lee Han disappear.
When I turned my head, I saw Lee Han running up the road.
