Episode 329
“Why but?”
“it’s nothing.”
The Tigiling priest slightly lowered his head with regret.
For a moment, I felt ashamed of myself for thinking this.
If you think about it, how much dedication the boy from the Wardanaz family has given to his friends.
Even thinking about the meals eaten by the students of the Phoenix Tower, the priests could not raise their heads in front of Lee Han.
“sorry.”
“??”
Lee Han was puzzled by the sight of the Tigiling priest suddenly apologizing.
what?
‘Is it because you invited me to a church event?’
To Lee Han, who was already going with dark intentions, such an apology actually felt sorry.
“no. “I have nothing to be sorry about.”
“I guess you’re sorry for interfering with your work.”
Professor Verdus said as if he understood.
How much would Wardanaz want to finish working on the magic stone now?
I must be feeling sick to my stomach because I am putting it off because of a trivial promise I made in the past.
“Ah… I guess you really have nothing to be sorry about then.”
Lee Han spoke firmly, full of sincerity.

The temple of the Pricinga Church was usually visited by many cursed people.
You may have visited a cursed area without knowing and were cursed, or you may have accidentally worn a cursed artifact, etc.
The priests of the Pricinga Church kindly treated each and every one of these guests, purified their artifacts, and sometimes wore them themselves.
The last one was a bit strange, but in any case, there were few people as reliable as the Pricinga Church for ordinary people under the curse.
“Priest. help! “After wearing this bracelet, my arms turned into the arms of the undead!”
“Priest! My race…! I don’t want to live like a smelly dwarf! “Ugh!”
“I came back from a trip last week, and I must have touched something wrong and my skin turned bronze…”
The Wardanaz family’s carriage with three people in it arrived in front of the main gate of the temple. Professor Verdus said while looking at the people in line.
“That’s fun. “It would be nice to study.”
“professor. “I think you might want to keep your mouth shut until you enter the temple.”
I was already cursed, so if I said ‘You are a great research case’ in front of sensitive people, I could have been stabbed.
“Ihan of the Wardanaz family!”
The priest, Mehrid, came running out in joy. While I wasn’t looking, a strange helmet was hanging on top of his head, as if he had been wearing another cursed artifact.
“I heard a lot of stories. Thank you so much.”
“no. “I just did what I had to do.”
Lee Han answered humbly, but in fact, he was not humble at heart.
In fact, considering the dishes he cooked for the Phoenix Tower students, Lee Han had the right to be proud.
“…But why, Professor?”
Priest Mehrid whispered in an embarrassed voice.
Lee Han knew very well that in times like this, he had to go forward with confidence.
“I’m here to help.”
“yes? Are you talking about that professor? Oh, no… I’m not saying I don’t like it.”
Lee Han could very well understand Priest Mehrid’s reaction.
Well, even Lee Han would be quite surprised if Professor Verdus came to help.
“As you are an artifact expert, you will be helpful to this event.”
“That’s true, but I don’t think you’ll help me… Oh, no. “It’s not that I don’t like it.”
‘You seem quite cold-hearted.’
Although Mehrid was a priest, he was never the type to turn his eyes away from reality.
He was a realistic priest after all.
“Do not worry. “The professor will work hard to help you this time.”
“Is that so? “What happened?”
“Today’s event has to end quickly so they can take me to work.”
“……”
Priest Mehrid looked at Lee Han with a complex and subtle expression.
* * *
Certainly, if there was one outstanding wizard, it would be easy to help the church with its work.
Professor Verdus sat with his arms crossed, and when someone came to him, he suddenly spoke.
“I’m cursed with fire!”
“yes?!”
“I was cursed with fire!”
Lee Han was next to me and kindly explained it to me.
“They say that the ornament in the box you are holding is cursed with fire. “If you wear it carelessly, you may get burned.”
“Well, like that…”
The customer who brought the jewelry blinked in fear.
“Then what should I do?”
“professor. “Can you do it?”
“Give it to me!”

“Oh, my. thank you “Priest.”
“I’m not a priest. “He’s a wizard.”
Professor Verdus took the trinket and began to lift the curse. The person who brought it kept nodding his head and expressing gratitude.
Lee Han got inspiration from here.
‘hmm. ‘This could also be a business.’
A sign saying ‘We will lift the curse’…
The problem was that there was a monopoly system called the Pricinga Church. Moreover, the most threatening thing about this cult is that it is free.
Is there anywhere that doesn’t have a Pricinga denomination?
“Look at this. This is the curse of burns. Can you see the pattern engraved here?”
“Even if you say that, it’s magic I don’t know.”
“Memorize it. “You have to memorize it so you can do it next time the same magic comes up.”
“oh…”
Lee Han was surprised by Professor Verdus’ lack of conscience.
It’s not ‘memorizing it will help you later’, but ‘memorizing it will help you later’.
Are you seriously planning on entrusting the task of lifting the curse artifact to a first-year student?
‘He’s crazy again.’
“Infuse some magic here.”
Professor Verdus held out the magic tool he was holding to Lee Han. The light flickered as if all the magical energy had been used up.
Without thinking, Lee Han grabbed the equipment and injected magical power into it. Professor Verdus was very satisfied with the sudden increase in magical energy.
“Hey. you’re good.”
‘Oops.’
When Professor Verdus made an expression that said, ‘I found another useful thing,’ Lee Han thought it was a mistake.
Even if Professor Verdus learned a lot about Lee Han’s usefulness, it did not help his life at all.
Pajik, Pajik, Pajik!
“That’s it. take it. “The curse has been lifted.”
“That’s amazing!”
The priest next to him expressed his admiration for Professor Verdus’ skills.
Even the experienced priests of the Pricinga Church could not solve the problem so quickly. It was truly an amazing skill.
“It’s not great at all? “It was something even a caterpillar could do.”
“Wow, indeed…”
As the priest was embarrassed, Lee Han thought that he should just continue speaking instead of the professor.
“professor. “I’ll just speak for you, professor, and you can do your work.”
“uh? thank you.”
* * *
“This won’t be possible to cancel.”
Not even Professor Verdus could solve all curses.
It seemed likely that the bracelet with the ominous symbol on it would simply be shattered if the curse was lifted.
“Was it also a cursed item? Damn, I felt uncomfortable for some reason… Thank you. Mr. Wizard. “I’ll leave it here.”
The person who picked up the bracelet put it down with regret.
I came to appraise it to see if there was anything good there, but there was a curse on it.
Items that could not be provided in this way were usually handled by the church.
Cursed artifacts were basically items that were difficult to process.
“But what kind of curse is this item on?”
As another guest left, Lee Han stretched out and asked.
“Suppressing magical power output.”
“Suppressing magical power output? Is it like absorption?”
“It’s different from absorption. you’re stupid?”
Lee Han nodded as he watched Professor Verdus gently pointing out his student’s speech mistakes.
“It might be different.”
While the magic absorption curse sucked a person’s magic power the moment it was worn, the magic power discharge suppression curse restricted the person’s ability to emit magic power.
Both were curses used to ban those who knew how to use magic, but the methods were different.
“Can I wear it once?”
“I see.”
Lee Han wore a bracelet.
‘It would be better to get hit before he gets hit at Einroguard.’
If other people heard it, it would have been shocking, but Lee Han remained calm.
It was better to get hit first than to get hit at Einrogard. Because I was able to prepare a solution.
“I don’t think much has changed?”
“Try using magic.”
Lee Han said those words and summoned a water bead.
The water beads that appeared in the air were well controlled without any problems.
“Is everything going well?”
“Try something more complicated.”
“If it’s complicated…”
Lee Han had already mastered the basic applications of the water element.
If it was a more difficult area here, we would have to go for evaporation or rotation.
‘With rotation.’
The rotation property has not been fully addressed by Lee Han yet. The limitations were that it took a lot of time or that it was added at an incomplete level.
Shhh!
“!”
Lee Han was surprised.
The water ball was spinning with a sharp sound.
I didn’t even spend a ton of time on it, but to this extent?
‘What the hell is this…? Is that so!’
Lee Han understood the situation.
For example, the curse of magical energy absorption was to continuously absorb 1 at a time.
A person with 10 horsepower might not be able to last much longer, but a person with 10,000 horsepower could last much longer.
In comparison, the curse of suppressing magical power output limited the magical power that could be used to 10, regardless of whether one had 100 magical power or 10,000 magical power.
Originally, it was a curse that should have been very embarrassing, but for Lee Han, it was a different story.
Normally, it was difficult to handle such a huge amount of magical energy, but when I was forced to use only a small amount of magical energy, it became much easier to control it.
It felt like I had changed from wearing heavy armor to light armor.
Easy profit! Shhh!
Lee Han felt an exhilarating pleasure as the movement of magical power flowed as expected.
At times like this, the wizard felt a thrill that was close to omnipotence.
You control the power to change the rules of the world.
Is there anything more ecstatic than this?
‘Do other wizards always feel this way?’
Actually, it wasn’t.
The reason Lee Han was able to use magic with ease even though he had so much magical power was because he had such talent.
In addition, now that a lot of magic power has been removed unnecessarily, I feel this sense of control, but other wizards usually don’t feel that way.
“professor. Excellent! “I never thought there would be an artifact like this… Why did Professor Garcia give you a magic absorption artifact instead of this artifact?”
“Yeah…”
Before Professor Verdus could explain, Lee Han’s bracelet was shattered.
Kwasik!
“……”
Lee Han looked down at the remains of the bracelet with bitter eyes. Professor Verdus said, nodding his head.
“That’s how it happens.”
“…Tell me early.”
Unlike magic absorption artifacts, which rarely break. The artifact that suppressed magical energy was broken very easily depending on the wizard’s capabilities.
This was even more so in the case of Lee Han, who had endless magical power.
If you use magic incorrectly, it will simply be destroyed.
If Lee Han wanted to be able to withstand whatever magic he used, it would be quick to find it in ancient artifacts.
“But today, there will be at least one more artifact with the ability to suppress magical power output, right?”
“well? And it’s not a function, it’s a curse.”
‘Oops. It did.’
Professor Verdus’ words brought Lee Han back to his senses.
Because I’m so jealous…
Fortunately, three more artifacts cursed to suppress magical power output appeared.
Kwasik!
No, two.
