Episode 401
“Now that I think about it, that’s not important.”
“Then what’s important…”
The thunderous professor who was trying to listen muttered dissatisfiedly.
He wanted to hear from his disciple what exactly he did.
“When we heard Yoanen Makin speak, we talked about this. How about manufacturing <Paragranum’s Curtain> with this person’s help? “But I didn’t know you were a first-year student.”
“Is that so?”
“Of course it is.”
The thunderous professor grumbled.
What kind of person would think he was a first-year student just by hearing that?
“Can you help me?”
“of course.”
It was Lee Han who had already come to flatter him. There was no reason to refuse.
“professor. “Can I borrow your workshop for a while?”
“Do whatever you want.”
The alchemists bowed their heads with very grateful faces.
Then, I got up from my seat with Lee Han and headed to the workshop.
“…?!”
The thunderous professor realized it too late.
‘Isn’t that learning vision!?’
Just like water flowing like this?!
* * *
“But I don’t have much experience with alchemy.”
“Is that so? “I thought you had a lot of experience because you said you worked in Yoanen Makin’s workshop.”
“About half a year…”
At Lee Han’s answer, the Paragranum alchemists looked at Lee Han with shocked faces, as if they had heard something incredible.
When the alchemists, who had not had any significant emotional changes until now, did this, Lee Han felt a little burdened and spoke.
“…I think it was a little longer than that.”
“Is that also the case? Some extent?”
“About one more month?”
“……”
The alchemists suddenly started whispering among themselves. Lee Han suddenly felt regret because he felt like he had said something for no reason.
“Lee Han. “Are you interested in the Paragranum Guild?”
Fortunately, the alchemists did not say anything and just made suggestions. Lee Han answered with relief.
“I have always respected the Paragranum Guild. Among the Empire’s alchemist guilds, isn’t this the one that is always devoted to new discoveries? “I still remember creating a cure for blue blood disease two years ago.”
“That’s an undeserved assessment.”
The alchemists were not the ones swayed by these few words of praise, but they quite highly accepted the fact that Lee Han had a favorable opinion of the Paragranum Guild.
If you have a favorable opinion of the guild, there is a high possibility that you will try to join it after graduating.
“However, it is hard to deny that our guild has several advantages that other alchemist guilds do not have.”
“Is that so?”
Lee Han suddenly became interested.
After all, isn’t the evaluation of those working inside more accurate than the rumors you hear from outside?
What do these alchemists think are the advantages?
The alchemists of Paragranum spoke with faint pride.
“Once you start research, you don’t stop with excuses like taking a break.”
“…?”
Lee Han felt something was strange, but the alchemists continued speaking.
“And our guild conducts dangerous research that other guilds do not do.”
“Oh… do alchemists get less compensation than other guilds?”
“You know me well, right? you’re right. “Instead of taking the gold coins needlessly, you can use them for research.”
“It’s a really good guild.”
“That’s right.”
After the conversation ended, Lee Han smiled and nodded.
And I thought to myself.
‘The Paragranum Guild shouldn’t even go near the building.’
It was a crazier guild than I thought.
“So what kind of potion is <Veil of Paragranum>? “I don’t remember ever hearing that, but…”
If it was a potion that was released on the market, there was a high possibility that Lee Han would have heard the name, but strangely, it was the first time he had heard the name.
“It’s never been made public, so of course you’ve never heard about it.”
“Okay… wait a minute. “Then isn’t it a vision?”
Lee Han was embarrassed.
If it’s a potion that hasn’t been released to the public, it’s the guild’s vision. Can I tell you about it like this?
“yes. you’re right.”
“Can I know?”
“It’s necessary for research, right?”
The alchemists looked at Lee Han as if asking, ‘Why are you asking such an obvious question?’
Lee Han had to feel like he was a strange person.
‘hmm. I thought you were going to bring Professor Thunderstruck.’

“…understand.”
“I knew you would. <Veil of Paragranum> is a type of stealth potion.”
“Stealth… potion?”
Lee Han was surprised.
Stealth potions tend to have quite limited effects.
‘Are there any other principles besides transformation magic and enchantment magic? Improvement is possible, but…’
It may be possible to change the method and principle and increase the duration or effect, but it was a fairly trivial potion for what the Paragranum Guild was researching.
“yes. But it might be a little different than you think. “What we are trying to hide is not a shape or form, but a specific energy.”
“!”
The energy emanating from existence.
It could be the pressure caused by magical power, the energy of an attribute emitted by a spirit, or the deadly force emitted by a knight.
Cutting out only this specific energy was an unexpected idea.
“Is that possible?”
“Theoretically, it is somewhat complete. All that’s left is experimentation. There are two areas we would like to receive help from Lee Han. One is horsepower. “I heard that you use an abnormal level of magical power when magically processing materials.”
“…Isn’t it to an abnormal level?”
Lee Han muttered, but the alchemists ignored him.
“It is not a commonly used method in alchemy.”
Alchemy is the study of thorough calculations without any errors.
As long as the calculations were accurate, there was no reason to overinvest magical power to an abnormal level like Lee Han did.
Moreover, if it had been done that way, the alchemist could have collapsed before the potion was completed.
“But in this <The Veil of Paragranum>, the case is a bit different. We anticipate that over-injecting magical power will complete the effect of this potion.”
“Indeed… wait. “If there are two, what is the other one?”
“I heard that Lee Han radiates a feeling of intimidation from magical power that scares the spirits. Once the potion is completed, I want to erase that intimidation. “Would you please allow it?”
Among many energies, the energy sensed by a sensitive being like a spirit is the most difficult to hide.
If the potion worked successfully against the person who scared the spirit, then the potion was actually successful.
“…I don’t care, but where did you hear that?”
“Joanen Makin told me.”
‘Mr. Joanen!’
Ihan cried out for Yoner’s older sister.
Why do you even have to tell me that…
* * *
“again.” “again.” “again.” “But you really have a lot of magical power.” “again.” “again.” “again.” “again.” “again.”
Professor Thunderstruck, who came to watch, was impressed by Lee Han’s patience.
Back in the olden days when Professor Thunder Walk taught in that way, five out of ten students would give up, three would run away, one would punch the teacher in the face, and one would hold on until the end.
And Lee Han belonged to the last case.
The alchemists of the Paragranum Guild repeatedly shouted ‘again’ like crazy people, but Lee Han measured the ingredients, waved his staff, and adjusted the intensity of the fire without a change in his expression.
“Is everything going well?”
“yes. Thanks to Lee Han’s outstanding talent. for a moment. Please do it again.”
The thunderous professor glanced at Lee Han. Luckily he didn’t have his fists clenched.
As I knew Lee Han’s swordsmanship skills after hearing about him from Professor Ingalldel, the thunderous professor couldn’t help but be concerned.
“But since it’s the weekend, wouldn’t it be better to take a little rest?”
Although he told the students to work hard to learn, Professor Thunderwalk also had a conscience.
I couldn’t help but feel sorry for the student who stood in front of the pot for about 12 hours non-stop, listening to and repeating ‘again’.
“professor. Do you know what one of the things Lee Han highly values about the Paragranum Guild?”
“…uh…you set fire to the capital?”
“no. “Once research begins, they highly value the fact that it does not stop with excuses such as breaks.”
“……”
The thunderous professor was able to see Lee Han, who was stirring a ladle with an expressionless face, clenching his fist for the first time.
…That’s not right, right?
“I… I see. I definitely stopped you. got it? “I definitely stopped him.”
“??”
The alchemists, not knowing to whom the thunderous professor was speaking, tilted their heads.
It was that time.
“Ahhh!!”
When one of the alchemists screamed, the thunderous professor quickly turned his head.
I was worried that Lee Han could not stand it anymore and pushed the alchemist into the cauldron. This happened often in the old days.
But fortunately, it was not that kind of accident. Silver smoke was rising from inside the pot.
“Are you finished?”
“yes! at las!”
With his intuition as an excellent alchemist, Professor Thunderstruck felt that the potion in front of him was complete.
I didn’t yet know what the potion was, but this was something to celebrate.
“Congratulations. “You worked so hard.”
“no. “It would have been difficult to complete it on our own.”
“I can’t believe that investing too much magical power was the right answer. Everyone will be surprised when they hear it. Isn’t that right? Lee Han?”
It was natural for the alchemists to be surprised.
The potion kept failing right before completion, and the answer was to increase the magical power of the ingredients like crazy.
The hidden answer was to infuse it not just at a normal level, but to the point where you really wonder, ‘Do I really need to pour in this much magic power?’
“You seem to be tired because you used up too much magical power.”
“I don’t think so…?”
The thunderous professor denied it, but Lee Han said nothing. He just stood still with a tired face.
‘You must be tired.’
I couldn’t help but get tired as I repeated the extremely long process of making the potion continuously without stopping.
No matter how much the alchemists do their best to help, the burden is bound to pile up.
But it was definitely a good opportunity. Lee Han could understand why Professor Thunderstruck had invited outside alchemists.
‘From the way the materials are handled to the magic used. It was different from Einrogard’s method.’
Just looking at the work of other alchemists made me feel like the boundaries of my thinking were expanding.
If Lee Han mixes some of the potion recipes he already knows with a few of the Paragranum guild’s secrets and makes them again, he will get better results than now.
This may be why guilds keep their know-how hidden as a secret.
‘okay. I’m definitely grateful that I learned this…’
“Lee Han. Are you okay?”
“yes.”
“And magical power?”
“yes.”
“What did I say?”
The thunderous professor responded as if to say, look at that.
“Then, I will summon the spirit and test the potion.”
“……”
While Lee Han was dumbfounded and speechless, the alchemists made a decision among themselves and headed outside.
The purpose was to summon the spirit from a large space and confront it with Lee Han.
When the two of us were left alone, Thunderwalk made excuses again without realizing it.
“…Next time, I will never call the Paragranum Guild alchemists.”
“no. Please call me if possible.”
“Really?”
“yes. “Would it be okay if we took away the opportunity for our juniors to learn?”
“……”
For some reason, ‘to learn’ sounded like ‘to be taught’ in the ears of the thunderous professor.
