Episode 342
‘He has no conscience!’
Lee Han was enraged inside.
I treated him as politely as possible, just because he was a duke, but he did something like that.
Who could be the enemy targeted by the now summoned poisonous pollutant?
It was not Ihan nor his friends, but Duke Ikaldoren.
Then, if we have prevented the poisonous contaminant, shouldn’t we start by giving an example by saying, ‘Thank you, the Einroguard students’ morale is high as expected.’
Of course, Lee Han came forward thinking it was the skeleton principal’s doing, but that didn’t matter. In any case, the result was important.
But then he suddenly tried to leave, saying nonsense and saying he would try to think positively.
No matter how much I thought about it, there was only one answer.
The idea was to save on honorarium fees.
‘I cannot forgive.’
A poor person would understand this, but the man who generously showered Adenard with gold coins in the name of a useless riddle was generous with gold coins for saving his life.
“There will be no more shameless and shameless nobles in the empire. “It’s disgusting.”
“…Oh, no. Wardanaz. Duke Ikaldoren is rude, but…?”
At first, Rowena was happy that Lee Han cursed with her, but she slowly became embarrassed.
Duke Ikaldoren wasn’t that bad.
Although he was rude, he was one of the princess’s supporters and didn’t cross the line…?
“Rowena. “I now understand why you consider Duke Caldoren to be his lifelong enemy.”
“yes? “I didn’t say that.”
Ignoring Rowena’s explanation, Lee Han moved on.
The duke had already gone far away, but several of his guards remained to clean up the surroundings.
The way he clearly removed the burnt poisonous pollutants, checked that there was no other contamination around him, and calmly collected the traces and evidence of summoning the poisonous pollutants, gave me a sense of familiarity, as if I hadn’t done it once or twice.
Seeing that, Lee Han became even more confident.
‘It’s true that they were targeting the duke.’
My appetite was bitter.
I was supposed to just watch, but I got involved and threw away my clothes…
“Did His Highness the Duke leave anything to say?”
Lee Han asked the guards just in case. The guards did not tidy up but adjusted their clothes.
It was not simply because Lee Han was from the Wardanaz family.
The image he just showed was enough to earn the respect of the guards.
He was only a first year student, but with that level of combat power, it was certain that he would become a major wizard who would become renowned throughout the empire as time passed.
Moreover, their master, Duke Ikaldoren, also seemed to think very highly of Ihan.
Didn’t you just say that you thought positively about the proposal?
The duke never said empty words.
“Mr. Wardanaz.”
“yes. “Left behind…”
“There was no such thing.”
“……”
Lee Han looked with a straight face.
Without knowing his true feelings, the guards gave him a coy look and spoke.
“There will be no need for that.”
“you’re right. “We will be talking separately soon.”
“…?”
Lee Han wondered if the guards were crazy.
Why are you suddenly acting like a flatterer?
‘Has the owner gone crazy as a group?’
* * *
“It was really hard. Wodanaz.”
The guards came and cleaned things up, and as the duke’s guards left the place, Ktran praised Lee Han.
Although he was not as experienced as the duke’s guards, Ktran also had a vague sense of how well Lee Han fought.
“okay. thanks.”
Lee Han held out his hand. Kltran held his hand.
Then Lee Han put his hand away and took Kltran’s cloak.
“I meant to ask you to lend me a cloak.”
“…Uh, uhm.”
Lee Han’s jacket and cloak were tattered from fighting the poisonous pollutants. Lee Han said while wearing Kltran’s cloak.
“Kltran. Since you are a white tiger tower, you will often receive requests during vacation from now on.”
“I guess so?”
“Do not accept Duke Ikaldoren’s request. “He is a very petty person.”
“is it? Rather than that, Wardanaz. Riddle…”
“What kind of riddle is a riddle? Even if you solve it, nothing may come out.”
Lee Han grumbled like that, but deep down he knew it wasn’t true.
Even though Duke Ikaldoren did not give a gift to Lee Han, he was sure to give a gift to the princess.
Gold coins came out last time, so they will come out this time too.
‘Thinking like that makes me even angrier.’
“If we solve it together, will I also get a share?”
“That’s true, but the gold coins aren’t particularly important to you, are they? “If you’re like me, you wouldn’t know.”

Hearing Kltran’s words, Lee Han was about to scold Gai Nan, but he held back.
I tolerated it for once because I lent him my cloak.
“great. Princess. “Let’s solve it together.”
“I knew you would say that. Wodanaz.”
Ktran grinned.
I felt like I was starting to understand what kind of person Wardanaz was.
Although Wardanaz spoke coldly on the outside, his actions were often warm.
‘Durgyu didn’t say that for nothing.’
I thought I would definitely participate in this one as well.
Even though he grumbled on the outside, there was no way Wardanaz would ignore it when it was related to his friend.
As expected…
“I know what to say, you bastard. “I’m already pissed off because of the duke. Do you want to lose your temper?”
“I’m sorry.”
Kltran flinched for a moment.
Even though I knew it in my head, I couldn’t help but feel scared.
Rattling-
Lee Han and his friends went into a nearby cafe and sat down.
Rowena ordered juice made from five different vegetables, Ktran ordered eggnog with more rum, Lee Han ordered coffee, and the princess hesitated between chocolate and vanilla and ordered chocolate cake. Lee Han ordered another vanilla cake and gently pushed it in front of the princess.
“So the riddle is… um…”
Dear Honorable Adenardt, may this riddle relieve your boredom.
Here is a staff. As the wizard walked with the staff, the stream cleared the way. As we crossed the stream, the wind cleared the wall blocking our path. When the wall disappeared, night came. Then a flash of light illuminated the path. I wonder what kind of wand this is.
“????”
Lee Han read everything and raised his head.
“Are you asking me to guess what artifact it is?”
Lee Han thought that the duke was so petty that he had no talent for riddles.
Wouldn’t it be a good riddle to guess what artifact it is?
If that was a riddle, Lee Han could also come up with a riddle.
Something like ‘What is the third card from the top of Gainando’s card deck?’
“ah. That’s not it. “It’s more like making a wand like this yourself.”
“…No, why is that a mystery… That’s it. “It doesn’t matter.”
Lee Han once again felt how good of a riddle the riddle of the talking oak tree he encountered in the mountains was.
This isn’t a riddle, it’s just ‘Can you make a wand like this?’
“Water element, wind element, light element. Try making a wand with at least 3 different artifacts? “The level of difficulty is difficult, but the power required is too much?”
“ah. That’s not it. “That’s more of a metaphor, and in reality, it doesn’t matter if the power is much weaker.”
“……”
Even though it wasn’t his business, Lee Han felt a boiling desire to point it out.
‘If you wrote that the stream opened the way, it should be enough to part the stream, what kind of thing…’
Lee Han, who was grumbling to himself, realized that he was saying the same thing as the professor from Einrogard and stopped.
Both the person who gave the riddle and the person who solved it were satisfied, so there was no reason for Lee Han to go into labor.
‘okay. There’s nothing wrong with ending things on a good note. ‘Let’s just take the gold coins.’
“If the power is weak, all I need to do is complete the staff with the three enchantments… uh. “Isn’t it easy?”
Lee Han, who was considering the conditions, was puzzled.
Even if the power is weak, the difficulty level goes down a lot more than expected.
Of course, it was not that easy to cast three enchantments, including different elemental magic.
The difficulty of casting increases with each layer of enchantment, and if it is a different element series, it increases again.
However, for Lee Han, who had already experienced the Hell of Verdus course in the first semester, that was quite enough.
Isn’t it much better than making a shield that floats, moves, and defends itself from attacks?
“……”
“……”
Rowena and Cletran became depressed at Lee Han’s words.
The calm madness of the senior in their grade made them sullen.
“Oh, no. “If you think about it, it’s difficult.”
Lee Han noticed their reaction and changed his words, but it was already too late.
“no. Wardanaz. “You don’t need to be considerate of us.”
“That’s right… Wardanaz. There is no need to be considerate of us. “It’s no wonder we look like monkeys to you.”
“It’s a misunderstanding. Ctran. I never thought of it as a monkey. Have you ever thought of yourself as inferior to Gainando… No. no. “Anyway, it doesn’t look that difficult.”
At Lee Han’s words, the princess, who had finished her second cake, raised her hand and said.
“Even if you overlap just two, they collide with each other and the casting difficulty increases, but three seems completely impossible.”
“You can use the magic circle as an auxiliary device.”
“An artifact like a wand… a magic circle?”
The princess asked, slightly raising the tips of her eyebrows.
As the artifact becomes smaller and its volume decreases, it becomes more difficult to engrave magic on it.
In that respect, the wand was not a good tool for imprinting enchantment.
Of course, truly excellent enchantment wizards would skillfully condense the magic circle and engrave it on the wand using finesse, but that level of skill was beyond what a freshman could do.
Then Ktran answered instead.
“I’m sure Wardanaz can do it. yes?”
“It’s not?”
“…no?”
“Of course, we should omit unnecessary parts. “We will remove all parts related to maintenance or duration.”
“???”
The princess tilted her head.
Rowena and Cletran also tilted their heads, but it was just because they couldn’t keep up with what was being said, and the princess tilted her head because there was something she didn’t understand.
If we take out all the parts related to maintenance and spell duration, wouldn’t it disappear a few seconds after casting a spell on the wand?
“Then it’s time…”
“You can fill it with horsepower. “If you pour in magic power, the maintenance and duration will increase.”
“……”
The princess was confused as to whether she should agree to this ignorant method or not.
It’s certainly logically correct, but is it okay to use such an expedient method?
The princess was curious about the other two’s opinions and looked away.
“What do you two think…”
“I think Wardanaz’s opinion is right.”
“me too.”
“……”
Seeing the two immediately agreeing because they didn’t want to find out that they couldn’t keep up, the princess sighed inaudibly.
Lee Han looked at that and shook his head.
‘If there’s a Gainando around, it’s bound to be trouble.’
The feeling of despair that one is the only one who understands the task in a group project.
This feeling of despair could only be known to those who had experienced it firsthand.
It’s a situation where you can’t persuade others to participate by any means, and you have to figure it out on your own!
Lee Han nodded as if he understood. Aden Arth looked at him with slightly emotional eyes and nodded his head.
Lee Han, who was sipping coffee, suddenly became curious and asked Rowena.
“But the cane would be quite expensive even if I were to practice with it, so how do I get it? “If it’s hard to get them, ask the professor to get broken canes and recycle them…”
“ah. “You can get it if you ask your sponsors.”
“……”
Lee Han slowly pulled back his chair as he saw the princess and her companions having a different way of thinking than him.
