Episode 398
“There’s no way…”
“Didn’t you just hesitate?”
“I guess it’s your mood.”
Yoner tilted his head.
It certainly seemed like Lee Han was hesitant?
“Priest Nigisor. if…”
Lee Han, who was trying to get Nigisor to join, sighed as he watched the priest cry out passionately to the Blue Dragon Tower students.
Since he was already shouting like that, it was bound to reach the ears of other priests even if he was ordered to join.
“Do you understand??!”
The Blue Dragon Tower students were taken aback as they faced the burning eyes of Priest Nigisor.
In fact, I still didn’t understand the situation because I was eating bread.
“You know!”
“Run… It seems like an excellent fire magic…”
The princess hesitantly opened her mouth.
First of all, I don’t know the identity of that magic, but when I saw the unique change in the nature of the flame, I guessed that it was a difficult arcane magic that was difficult to master among elemental magic.
It wasn’t a magic that a first year student could learn, but it wouldn’t be surprising if Wardanaz learned it.
“It’s not fire magic, it’s holy magic!! “It’s holy magic!!”
Priest Nigisor stamped his foot in frustration. The princess cowered slightly even though she had done nothing wrong.
Asan didn’t understand so he asked.
“But isn’t sacred magic only available to priests?”
“There are many people who think that way. However, even if they are not priests, sometimes people who awaken to divine magic appear. “This is possible because they are very devout believers.”
“uh. But Wardanaz is not particularly religious…”
Asan did not think that Lee Han was particularly religious.
When we lived together in the dormitory, we did not pray hard or show any signs of faith.
Of course, meals were provided periodically to the priests of the Phoenix Tower, but the same was true for the students of other towers…
“Uh, uh, uh, how could you say that…!”
Nigisor was shaking with rage, literally foaming at the mouth. Asan was embarrassed and quickly shouted.
“No, no! Priest. Now that I think about it, it seems that Wardanaz was devout! “We also provide meals to the priests every time!”
“??”
The princess was listening from the side and tilted her head.
“How can you give me a meal…”
“Everyone thinks so!”
“Uh, uh! of course!”
It was only after the Blue Dragon Tower students nodded that Priest Nigisor was finally able to calm down. The princess couldn’t understand her, but she had no choice as the topic passed her by.
“So… did you all think about taking it to the Paragranum Guild?”
“Paragranum Guild?”
“…Why did you think we were gathered now?”
“Well, weren’t we gathered here to give snacks?”
Lee Han continued talking, ignoring the Blue Dragon Tower student whose intelligence had decreased due to hunger.
The reason I gathered my friends like this was to overcome the difficult problem of gaining recognition from the imperial alchemist.
If we pool our wisdom together, it will be many times better than doing it alone.
“If you want to satisfy me, a regular potion won’t work, right?”
“Of course.”
Asan answered.
“The alchemists of the Paragranum Guild are always thirsty for new production methods.”
“oh. Asan. Have you ever met him?”
“no. “I’ve never met him in person, but I remember when I was young, the alchemists there took over a capital building and threatened to burn it down if we didn’t provide research funds.”
“…I see.”
I learned additional information about the other person that I didn’t necessarily want to know.
“First, let’s write down the potions that can be made now, and also write down the potions that have not been made yet but are worth trying. Then, let’s each talk about it.”
The friends nodded at Lee Han’s words.
“What I made was a minor mental strengthening potion and a minor physical recovery potion…”
“I made Bion’s awakening potion. “I think I can make it.”
“You said no last time, but did you succeed in the end?”
“huh. “The magic used to add the powder was imperfect.”
The students who were writing down one after another were puzzled when they saw Lee Han’s handwriting.
“Wardanaz. I think I wrote it wrong. “Is this Dobruk’s enchantment potion?”
“right. “I learned it this vacation.”
“……”
The student next to Lee Han looked at him in disgust.
What kind of crazy workshop would entrust a first-year student with making <Dobruk’s Fantasies Potion>?
‘Shouldn’t I report this to His Majesty the Emperor?’
Once the list was somewhat organized, Lee Han and his friends went through them one by one.
“How about making a new recovery potion? “I happened to find some herbs, so let’s experiment with them…”
“I’m thinking of trying a strengthening potion. “I’ve been practicing a lot of strengthening classes these days.”
There were two ways to develop a new potion.
One is how to create something from nothing.

It was a novel method that had never existed before, a method of developing new magic by combining materials that had not been used before.
Of course, it was only possible for a master of masters to work hard for a long time, and once developed, the potion became a textbook and guideline for numerous alchemists.
The other is to dig into and improve existing methods.
Use female mushrooms instead of white mushrooms.
Gryphon’s broken beak instead of Caltakal slime.
Not only changing ingredients, but also changing and checking all kinds of elements, including magic while casting, was something that many alchemists in the empire were still doing.
The level of difficulty was much easier than the first method, and if you had both wisdom and luck, you could achieve quite a bit.
Naturally, the second method is what first-year students are currently focusing on.
‘I think it would be good to improve Dobruk’s potion.’
Dobruk’s enchantment potion, which I practiced to the point of exhaustion during this vacation.
Although the level of difficulty was really high, the perfection of the potion was also great enough for Lee Han to know.
If we can make even a little bit of improvement here, it will definitely be an outstanding achievement.
The ingredients were a bit complicated, but I think I could borrow them from Professor Thunderwalk…
“Lee Han. “Lee Han.”
“?”
“How about making the potion you got from your sister?”
“uh? Is that okay?”
Lee Han was surprised.
The potion recipe I received from Yoanen is not an ordinary potion, but a potion that he developed himself.
“From the time I first gave it to you, you shouldn’t be dissatisfied no matter where you pass it on. And my sister is not that type of person. “After she gave, she would have already forgotten.”
“really?”
“Or whatever. “Unni, even if you lose a little, it’s worth it.”
Yoner said as if he wanted to try something. It was a voice that felt like a lot had accumulated.
“Has Yoanen done anything wrong?”
“I don’t have any. “I usually made a lot of mistakes with the friends I brought with me.”
“Well… I was lucky.”
“……”
Yoner looked at Lee Han like he was looking at a crazy person and gave up trying to speak.
“Okay, let’s make a potion.”
* * *
White salt.
Priest Nigisor called the flames that Ihan called with holy magic.
“Please wait a moment. Among the sacred magic recorded in the church, there is something similar… 41 years ago, the green flame had the property of absorbing and condensing poison, no, ah! Here it is. White flame, white flame. The property of burning away impurities and driving out negative energy. “I think it might be this flame.”
‘I’m also learning black magic. Can I do this?’
First of all, it wasn’t bad because it was the flame of destruction, but it was true that I felt a little complicated.
“You can’t use it when making black magic potions, but it can be quite useful in other situations.”
“Do you have potions for black magic?”
Priest Nigisor’s innocent and innocent question broke Lee Han’s heart.
“You know…”
“Oh oh.”
While the priest was surprised, Lee Han shook his head bitterly.
“The priest who gave me wisdom when I was young knew how to use three types of holy magic. If you continue to work hard, Wardanaz, you will be able to receive even more grace.”
“I wonder if it can increase further from here.”
“It’s quite possible.”
Priest Nigisor spoke with a gaze shining with firm trust.
If it had been any other friend, I would have been impressed, but Lee Han was a little nervous.
I also felt a suspicious expectation, ‘If someone can create flames with crazy fire power like you, they will definitely reach a higher level and be able to create flames that will set the world on fire.’
“Whoa… Whoa… Ihan of the Wardanaz family…!!!”
A shrieking voice was heard from next to me.
“Priest Siana?”
“That… doesn’t make sense, does it? Please tell me it’s a lie. Is it really the sacred magic of the Apha Church…???”
“It’s true!”
‘Ah, you tactless bastard.’
Lee Han wanted to hit the proudly shouting Priest Nigisor in the back of the head.
Even if you look a little sorry, it won’t be enough!
“Priest Sianna. “Awakening divine magic does not mean that my faith in the Flemain Church disappears…”
“only once!”
“??”
“Give me just one more chance!”
Priest Siana’s reaction was different from Lee Han’s expectations. The priest was almost on his stomach, holding on to his ankles.
“What chance?”
“Pray one more time before you go into the dormitory…! You will be able to awaken divine magic! really!”
‘Is it okay for the priests’ faith to be like this?’
To think that sacred magic, which is close to a miracle, is like being taught by a skeletal headmaster, ‘Just a little more work will do!’
Priest Nigisor spoke gently next to me.
“Holy magic cannot be done hastily like that…”
“I’m being quiet. only once! “When your turn passes, you have to wait a long time again!”
“Okay, so calm down.”
Lee Han decided to go in after praying to appease the priest Shiana.
Priest Siana looked around and watched as if he was worried that someone might come and interfere.
“The One who penetrates into the essence of things and brings about change, sends faith like this today as well, giving His believers a clue to change…”
Pot!
“?!”
Lee Han raised his head in surprise.
The divine power that was unleashed moved again like before and turned into warp and weft threads, interweaving them.
This…?!
“Oh, no!”
Priest Nigisor, who was leisurely watching, shouted in surprise.
Anyone could see that this was a precursor to the awakening of divine magic.
If there is a sign like this, we should save it and awaken the sacred magic of the Apha Church, but then hand it over to another church!
“Why not! “I’m being quiet!”
“Priest Siana?”
Lee Han was embarrassed by the bloody conversation and asked a question, but the response he received was even more intense.
“Concentration!! Please focus!!!”
“Well, let’s do that.”
Regardless of Priest Siana’s concerns, the divine power safely turned into a miracle.
Priest Syanna clapped and jumped up and down as she saw the potion in the flask turning transparent.
“I knew it would work! I knew it would work! “It was just a moment to awaken, but it happened because my turn passed!”
“I don’t think sacred magic works that way…?”
As far as Lee Han knew, sacred magic wasn’t something like the gambler’s fallacy.
It is not a structure in which the probability of success gradually increases after failing several times, but a structure in which faith and will have an influence…
But Priest Siana did not listen to Lee Han. It was because I was so excited.
“I’m going to go to the dorm for a while!”
“for a moment! Siana Priest! wait for a sec!”
I’m sure when I go to the dormitory, a dozen other priests will say, ‘Aha! It looked like he was about to jump out, saying, ‘Now is my chance,’ so Lee Han quickly stopped him.
