Episode 438
Lee Han, who was listening next to him, asked in confusion even though he was exhausted.
“What good is there in my becoming infamous?”
-Isn’t it cool?
-Notoriety is also fame. Wardanaz County.
Among the Death Knights, the Death Knight, who was in charge of the role of a senior knight, spoke in a benevolent voice as if he were kindly explaining.
Of course, the content was not friendly at all.
-Think about it! When your enemies meet Wardanaz, would you rather they tremble at the mere mention of Wardanaz’s name, or should they be surprised if they hear that name for the first time?
“I like the latter…”
Lee Han just wanted to surprise the unsuspecting opponent.
-No wizard would want the latter. Of course, Wardanaz would think that he could easily gain notoriety at this rate without using this method…
-Isn’t fame always mixed with a bit of bragging?
-Right. yes!
Perhaps because most Death Knights were knights of high repute in life, they had no aversion to adding a little bravado.
Besides, it’s a matter of pride if your enemies know your name, so why be afraid of that?
A truly strong person will trample on the traps even if their enemies prepare them.
“…I still have enough…”
-Are you satisfied with defeating the king of ghouls in Grandeur City during your vacation?
-You can’t do that.
-that’s right! Just as you must strike when the iron is hot, you must spread your reputation even more when it spreads!
Lee Han started to get a headache as he heard the Death Knights gathered together and chattering.
I was already tired from the bloody battle…
“Let’s see… let’s see…!”
In the distance, Bak Degul still couldn’t understand the situation and gritted his teeth at Lee Han.
Lee Han, irritated, shot back sharply.
“Shut up. a little.”
The Death Knights nodded happily, as if they were doing just that.

Principal Skeleton, who was watching the students screaming and being caught in the torrent with a chuckle, was surprised by the Death Knights’ report.
what!?
-Anti-magicists attacked the knights! It seems that Bakdugul, a member of the Biuichusaldan, is the mastermind!
Uh… is that really true?
The skeleton principal was embarrassed for the first time in a long time and asked the Death Knight back.
Because there really was no reason for anti-magicists to attack the knights.
In addition, Park Degul, who led the Rainy Killing Squad, was a notorious criminal whose name even Principal Skeleton had seen on documents.
His personality was persistent and conniving, he was good at trickery, and his swordsmanship was so strong that he reached the level of an Auror, so many imperial wizards lost their lives at the point of his sword.
Why would a guy like that leisurely attack a worthless knighthood like the Beech Knights?
The Beech Knights are an order of knights with no special characteristics other than an abundance of gold coins…
‘Was there not enough money?’
The Death Knights next to the skeleton principal shouted in surprise when they heard the report from the scene.
-You have to go right away!
what? There are Death Knights around.
-The Beech Knights…
They could get hurt?
The Skeleton Principal looked at the Death Knights as if wondering, ‘Why should I make a fuss and pay attention to those guys?’
Then the Death Knights shouted as if they were frustrated.
-…You took the students with you! Master and disciple too!
ah. That’s better. At best, an attack of that scale would have been enough to save his life.
-????
The Death Knights were embarrassed by their master’s arrogance.
The Death Knights on the scene would have arrived immediately, so there was no need to rush. Let’s leave quickly.
-master. I respect your confidence, but I think too much confidence leads to arrogance and carelessness…
Tsk tsk. Those who have eyes but cannot see, who have brains but cannot think. So, you are the Death Knight and I am the master.
The skeleton principal flew away with a confident look on his face.
The Death Knights rushed after him. But his eyes were full of anxiety.
-Didn’t you make a mistake last time too?
-I’m worried…
But surprisingly, this time the skeleton principal’s prediction was correct.
The Death Knights were surprised to see the camp completely subdued without a single person dying.
-no…?!
-really?!
Look! What did I say? You stupid minions. What more must I do for you to believe?
The Death Knights felt unfair.
Haven’t their owners been wrong quite a few times?
-What happened?
-So that’s…
While the Death Knights gathered and chatted, the headmaster flew towards the knights.
Originally, after a battle like this, it would have been a good time to show off.

If you heal a few sword cuts and puncture wounds, it will be nice to hear the words of the great archmage.
ah! Knights of the Great Beech Knights, your dedication will not be forgotten by the people of the Empire.
“His Excellency Gonadaltes!!”
The knights of the Beech Order, who were sitting and bandaging themselves, shouted fiercely.
The skeleton principal was slightly taken aback by the much warmer response than expected.
‘what?’
“I can only admire the wisdom of having summoned beasts on standby just in case!”
“Thank you for the favor!!”
ah.
The skeleton principal realized what they were mistaken about.
They mistakenly thought that the Death Knights posted to monitor student escapes were prepared in case of an unexpected rampage by anti-magicists.
Imperial Archmage and Lord of Einrogard, His Majesty’s Demon Commander and Guardian of the Magic Barrier…
A quick-witted Death Knight ran up and listed the titles of the Skeleton Headmaster instead.
It’s just something that has to be done… Moreover, consider the gold donated by the Beech Knights to Einrogard. Where did the reagents that raised these summoned beasts come from?
The knights burst into laughter as the skeleton headmaster frowned and winked.
Lee Han wondered if the knights’ sense of humor had been paralyzed because they had lost so much blood.
“Now I understand the deep meaning behind Your Excellency’s actions in sending your disciple. “He didn’t just send you to the meeting, he sent you to prepare for it after hearing intelligence that anti-magicists were causing trouble!”
…haha. I got caught. Can’t you think of any other reason than that?
“……”
Lee Han glanced at him, but the skeleton principal simply ignored him.
The disciple must have been quite active.
“It’s not quite right!”
“I am not shaken even after taking poison…”
“Reinforcing the tent with dirt…”
“Catch that leader alone…”
‘What did this kid do?’
The skeleton headmaster concentrated on keeping his composure.
I expected that he would perform to a certain extent, but he surpassed that by several times.
Why would he deal with a guy like Bakdgul?
Are you crazy about fame or just crazy?
“yes?”
It’s nothing. Anyway, I’m really glad everyone is safe.
“of course.”
“I can’t believe that the donations we sent are being used to grow such an outstanding empire!”
The knights were very impressed and proud of Einrogard’s first-year level.
At this level, the gold coins sent were truly at a level that was not regrettable.
“……”
“……”
The White Tiger Tower students had to feel guilty as if they had deceived the knights even though they had not done anything.
ha ha ha! That’s right, that’s right!
The skeleton principal also laughed, revealing his bones.
From the looks of it, it looked like the Knights would receive a large donation at the end of this year as well.
“Look! “This banquet ended so quickly due to an attack by evil people. Instead of holding the banquet again, why don’t we donate the remaining gold coins to Einroguard?”
“That’s a really good idea!”
“I agree too!”
Very good…
The skeleton principal was trying to agree from the side, but kept his mouth shut for fear of ruining the mood.
The knights collected the remaining gold coins in one place in return for their magical help. The skeleton principal looked so happy for the first time in a long time.
Come here, my favorite disciple!
“?”
Lee Han was momentarily embarrassed and looked around.
uh?
‘I go?’
-That’s right, Wardanaz.
-It’s Wardanaz.
-Who else would be your favorite disciple?
“You mean me?”
Would you like to talk about Einroguard in front of the knights?
“yes??”
Lee Han was surprised and looked at the skeleton principal.
‘Are you serious?’
Of course, Principal Skull also recognized the emotion contained in Lee Han’s ‘??’.
If you are, you will be able to do it ‘well’.
“aha.”
Lee Han looked at the skeleton principal. The skeleton headmaster also looked at his student. The two priests sealed the deal with just their eyes.
“What surprised me when I entered Einrogard was the consideration of the principal who showed us magic and made us familiar with magic from the moment we passed through the school gate…”
“Wardanaz, what on earth is that guy doing?”
“Leave it alone and get some rest.”
Giselle collapsed on the blanket.
* * *
After hearing the whole story, the knights shed tears in admiration for Einrogard’s teachings.
The skeleton principal watched his student, who had more than tripled his donation, with eyes full of affection.
I’m proud of you!
“I also always respect the principal. “Did you find out information about the anti-magicists in advance?”
…yes.
“…?”
Lee Han felt uncomfortable.
“You were there to keep an eye on us to see if we escaped…”
What kind of nonsense are you talking about? There are many ears to listen to, but misunderstandings can occur!
Headmaster Skeleton winked that there were still many knights resting around the barracks.
Lee Han noticed and nodded.
“There are a lot of boxes left over from preparing for the banquet. Can I bring some in?”
…Wouldn’t it be possible for knights to want to take a bundle with them when they return to their families?
“Then I will ask and take it.”
The skeleton principal cursed at his student.
How could someone from the Blue Dragon Tower be so greedy?
You’ve managed to deal with an enemy of that caliber.
“I was lucky.”
There was a lot of time to prepare, the enemies did not know about Yi Han, and there were even powerful knights on this side.
Of course, the skeleton principal looked at Lee Han pitifully, as if he were crazy.
No one would say it was luck.
“no…”
noisy. Rather, do you know why these guys attacked the knights?
“ah. that is.”
Lee Han explained the unfortunate misunderstanding between them.
The skeleton principal muttered when he heard that.
Oh my. They should have been locked up more thoroughly. My choice wasn’t wrong, but it was too generous!
“Is… is that so?”
No need to worry. Since everyone from the leader to the remnants has been captured here, there will be no need for the Beech Knights to be careful on the night roads.
“I guess so too, right?”
Well… you’re also a wizard, and you’ve already destroyed two anti-magic groups, so that’s a bit much.
“……”
Lee Han looked around.
From knights to death knights, all I could see were people who liked to spread rumors.
‘I guess I’d have to become a skeleton principal to control everyone…’
Don’t be afraid of gaining notoriety among your enemies. It’s your enemies that you have to fear, not you. There is something more interesting than such useless things. Look.
Principal Skeleton took out the artifacts he had taken from Bakdugul without paying any attention to Lee Han’s complicated feelings.
Do you know who created this artifact?
“I do not know?”
This is the <Antagondals’ Penetrating Eye> artifact. It is an artifact created by the evil magic criminal Antagondals.
“ah. okay. …Wait a minute, is this person also from Einrogard?!”
Seeing Lee Han asking sincerely, the skeleton principal glared at his student.
