Episode 327
Of course, the compensation for warlocks working in the cemetery was never bad.
The warlock was just a wizard who suffered from unfounded rumors and prejudices, and was by no means a pushover.
What warlock would take on this job if the pay wasn’t good?
However, Lee Han had the theory that ‘even if you do the same work, it is a good thing if the pay increases.’
“no. Dal Card. “We just dedicated ourselves to the city, but…”
“Who will devote themselves if they are not rewarded for their dedication? “I will speak strongly to the city commissioners and add additional budget.”
After getting the answer he wanted, Lee Han coughed again.
“Cough. Cough…”
“Oh my. Stop talking and rest. “I don’t think the magic power I consumed in the last subjugation has even been recovered.”
“thank you…”
Lee Han staggered and put his arm on Gaynando’s shoulder. Gainando was taken aback and pretended to help.
“They are really great wizards.”
Feeling Daihal’s gaze, Lee Han left the cemetery.
Direth, who could not bear to interrupt his junior’s performance, quietly asked.
“By the way, junior. “What does the last subjugation mean?”
“Cluck, cough, cough.”
“Get it done.”
“yep.”

“…That’s why some crazy apprentice knights don’t even understand the topic and are asking us to go catch someone like that again. Aren’t they very crazy people? “I don’t understand why the Knights Templar doesn’t provide character education like Einroguard.”
Lee Han was filled with anger and criticized the apprentice knights, but Delet was not listening.
The story before that was so shocking.
“No, why should I run away from it?”
“Is that also because of the White Tiger Tower guys??”
“Uh, huh. okay.”
The junior looked so wronged that Delet couldn’t say anything more.
‘Professor Mortum will be quite troubled if he finds out…’
I met an ancient evil being that wasn’t even recorded.
It was clear that if Professor Mortum found out, he would be excited and do all kinds of research.
And the preparation for the investigation will be done by the disciple, and the subject of the investigation will be the person who has experienced it most closely…
My junior applied to both.
“senior. Thank you for your help today. “Let’s have a meal together.”
“Hmm.”
Delet was slightly worried.
Originally, I didn’t like visiting the mansions of noble families because it was inconvenient, but it was a different story when it came to my junior’s request.
“good. My junior says that, so I can’t refuse. But junior.”
“yes?”
“Isn’t that the professor?”
Lee Han felt a little sorry when he saw Professor Verdus sitting in front of the mansion’s main gate, waiting quietly.
* * *
“Whoa, doesn’t Wardanaz eat?”
“Lee Han usually likes studying more than eating.”
In response to Ymirg’s question, Gainando pretended to know.
Of course, if Lee Han was next to me, it would have been a slap in the back.
“…juniors. “Why on earth is Professor Bible here?”
“uh. “You were just visiting?”
“You just came to visit?”
“yes.”
“A person who behaves so arbitrarily… That’s right.”
Delet was immediately convinced before even having any doubts.
Professor Verdus could have done just that.
“But no matter what, I think we should give him some time to rest.”
Delet put down the strawberry madeleine and said.
He is a student who had a hard time catching an undead chimera just now, so isn’t it a bit too much to take him away without giving him a chance to rest?
“it is not so? No matter how long you waited. “It will only be a few hours at most.”
“uh. no?”
“No?”
“You’ve been waiting since last night.”
Since it was now evening, I had waited almost a day.
“You’ve been here since last night… Wait. wait for a sec.”
Last night’s visit was also strange, but it could have been because the professor and student were close.
“You’ve been here since last night, why are you at the cemetery?”
“Lee Han asked me to run away in the morning…”
“……”
Delet was speechless and put down his coffee cup.
…Is this self-employment?

“Have you waited long? sorry.”
Lee Han apologized with a pretentious expression.
First of all, the other person was a professor.
However, as expected, Professor Verdus did not care at all.
“uh? no. Let’s get to work. really. “I changed the helmet.”
“oh. thank you!”
Lee Han was truly delighted by Professor Verdus’ words.
‘I can sell it!’
“How much will this cost?”
“price?”
“yes.”
“Who buys something like that? “It’s a dangerous artifact.”
“…Uh… Now that it’s been fixed, isn’t it safe if users are careful?”
“That’s right. But it’s dangerous if you’re not careful. “I don’t buy that.”
“……”
Lee Han glared at the helmet. The Helm of Wisdom spoke cautiously.
Now that things have come to this, it’s time to bring out the wisdom within me…
“Shut up.”
Lee Han turned his attention away from the helmet. He had no reason to be interested anymore than he knew there was no money.
“professor. I have a question.”
“What?”
“Can I make an artifact and sell it?”
“I guess it’s too much, right?”
Professor Verdus responded immediately.
Since each artifact is an expensive item, the experience of the person who created the artifact was also very important.
In the case of new artifact manufacturers, they had to continuously participate as an assistant in the production of other artifacts to build their career, increase their network, and then seize the opportunity to showcase their own artifacts to make their name known to the empire.
‘It seems like a story I’ve heard many times before.’
The laws are harsh on newcomers in any industry. Lee Han frowned when he heard that it would easily take more than ten years.
“for a moment. How about like this? “We make it cheaply and sell it cheaply.”
In Einroguard alone, there were incomplete and failed artifacts rolling around.
They were remnants that our seniors had tried to make but had failed and thrown away.
Of course, these artifacts would attract an imperial bounty the moment they were sold at full price, but that did not mean they were completely useless.
Right now, adventurers will be interested if they can obtain an artifact at a relatively low price, even if it is an incomplete failure.
“what? “It’s a waste of magic power.”
Professor Verdus was negative about Lee Han’s business plan.
A wizard’s magical power was a limited resource.
Why waste even a handful of magical power when you can save it and create a masterpiece?
And in terms of immediate money, selling a masterpiece is better than selling dozens of cheaply made pieces of junk.
“indeed. “There are no other problems other than wasting magical power, right?”
However, Lee Han was able to filter out Professor Verdus’ words.
How about wasting some horsepower?
And what if the cost-effectiveness is a bit poor?
‘It’s much better to make money in advance than to work for 10 years and build your career before starting. And anyway, when you practice, you end up with failures.’
Lee Han quickly drew a blueprint in his head.
In order to create artifacts with as many usable functions as possible and sell them continuously…
“ruler. Let’s begin!”
Professor Verdus began laying out the equipment without knowing Lee Han’s plan.
Chisels, chisels, hammers, planes and saws, small welding wands with extreme flame magic, glasses with lenses for each purpose, etc.
“professor. “There is something I want to try.”
“oh. What? What??”
Professor Verdus asked excitedly when Lee Han showed enthusiasm.
“I want to create a water creation artifact or a darkvision artifact.”
“what? Why do you make such trash? “It’s a waste of time, a waste of magic power, and a waste of materials!”
Of course, just because I was excited didn’t mean I listened to Lee Han well. When it came to artifacts, Professor Verdus was very cool.
Water creation artifacts and dark vision artifacts were boring artifacts that weren’t that difficult and could be made by any wizard with enough time and effort.
There was no way Professor Verdus would have favored such a waste of materials.
“professor. “There is something I have felt while studying magic these days.”
“??”
“Since I have so much magical power, I feel like I have to waste some to relax my grip.”
“okay??”
“yes. However, if I tried using a different magic, I couldn’t get used to it right away if I caught the enchantment while using a different magic. “I think I need to practice using the same enchantment to get better at it.”
“Why on earth aren’t you so talented?”
“Wow. “That’s right.”
Lee Han responded with fake sadness. Professor Verdus was truly saddened by his student’s lack of talent.
“oh my god. So, are you good at bestowing magic?”
“oh. “Then should I quit?”
“That’s not possible.”
‘shit.’
Lee Han clicked his tongue at the sight of Professor Verdus not completely giving up.
“okay. If that’s the case. “It’s an artifact that’s boring, unrewarding, and a waste of time…”
Professor Verdus grumbled and started taking ingredients out of his pocket.
Lee Han paused as he saw the blue gem, aquamarine, being taken out and placed on the spirit whale skin.
Even though Lee Han had not yet mastered all the ingredients, he knew very well that those two ingredients were extremely expensive.
“for a moment. for a moment. professor.”
“why?”
“Do you use aquamarine and spirit whale skin?”
“huh.”
“Uh… is that essential for the water creation artifact?”
“Is it necessary?”
Lee Han once again felt that he needed to ask Professor Verdus a different question.
“So without it, the water creation magic won’t work at all?”
“That’s not true. But the efficiency would be trash. “It’s already a trash artifact, but if the efficiency is trash, it’s really meaningless.”
“But it’s such a waste to use these materials for practice.”
‘And I can’t even get my money’s worth.’
There was no way that Lee Han, who was trying to obtain an optimized production method, could make an artifact made of aquamarine or spirit whale skin.
“But if you take that out, the efficiency becomes very trash.”
“How much?”
“If it were a leather water tank this size, it would take a week to fill it up.”
“!”
Professor Verdus certainly had a point.
‘A week… is too slow.’
It took a week to fill up a leather water bottle that could fit around my waist.
Lee Han once again felt that the wizard’s magic was a miraculous power for those who could not use magic.
A person who cannot use magic needed a lot of preparation in order to use magic.
“is there any other way? “Infusing a lot of magic power.”
“It’s still possible, but the lifespan of the artifact is shortened.”
If you already made it with cheap materials and used too much magic power, the lifespan of the artifact would inevitably be shortened.
Moreover, it was a waste of magical energy.
“it’s okay! Anyway, doesn’t efficiency improve?”
“Yes, but…”
Professor Verdus tilted his head as he looked at his motivated student.
Why on earth do you like that?
‘Do you like making trash?’
* * *
Deer skin, coyak thread, copper ring.
It was a water creation artifact, the material used in a portable leather water container.
Although Lee Han was not the type of person to greatly admire or take pride in his own skills or talents, he couldn’t help but feel proud when he made this leather water bottle.
‘I did it!’
They managed to create an artifact that emits water using not very expensive materials.
Professor Verdus, who was dozing off next to me with a bored expression, yawned and asked.
“Are you done?”
“yes.”
“Your hands are loose, right? ruler. then.”
Professor Verdus laid out the long-awaited blueprint on the table.
The blueprint was so long and complicated that it filled the long square table.
“…What is this?”
“Aerial sailing ship.”
Seeing Professor Verdus proudly taking on a project of such difficulty that it would take Lee Han about a hundred years to tackle it, Lee Han seriously considered faking it again.
