Episode 439
“As expected… I guess that’s true.”
Lee Han, who understood the skeleton principal’s gaze to have a different meaning, nodded as if he had expected that to happen.
no!
“yes?”
Do you think all the magic criminals in the Empire are from Einrogard?
“uh? Isn’t it?”
……
The skeleton principal was at a loss for words for a moment.
I was even more shocked because I felt that the student in front of me was speaking seriously and not jokingly.
What the…!
Seriously no.
“Is that so… Isn’t it because there are drivers outside?”
I cast my spell and said no. Are you done?
“iced coffee…”
Only then did Lee Han understand.
The skeleton principal wanted to punch him, but he held back when he thought of the donation his student had just received.
“If you are a magic criminal…”
okay.
The empire had enemies whose names alone inspired fear and hostility.
Anti-magicists, demon worshipers, separatists, black magicians… No, not black magicians. I made a mistake with my words.
“……”
Not a warlock, but a magic criminal. I wanted to say magic criminal. In any case, no matter how much of a troublemaker the four seniors of Einroguard are as they are wanted criminals of this level, it is very rare for them to be labeled as magic criminals.
‘It’s not like it’s not there.’
Lee Han was not surprised.
It would have been more surprising if it hadn’t existed at all.
Anyway, the skeleton principal’s logic was sound.
Surprisingly, not just anyone could become a magic criminal.
A wizard who failed a magic experiment and flooded the valley, destroying all of the village’s crops?
It’s interesting, but he wasn’t a magic criminal. It just belonged to a crazy wizard.
A wizard who was caught on the spot while trying to infiltrate another knight’s graveyard and steal a corpse?
It’s really amazing, but he wasn’t a magic criminal. It was just a crazy wizard, or rather a slightly too crazy wizard.
In order to be labeled as a magic criminal in the Empire, one had to maliciously set off incidents that were incomparable to the incidents mentioned above and defeat the pursuit of Imperial bounty hunters and knights dozens of times.
At that level, it would say, ‘In the name of the Emperor of the Empire, this wizard can no longer be called a wizard. Deal with him regardless of whether he is alive or dead.’
It is one of the highest levels of notoriety that an imperial wizard can receive.
Even though Einroguard was a crazy wizard school, it couldn’t easily produce the best of the best.
Moreover, seeing as seniors were dragged to the punishment room even after they graduated, it seemed like the skeleton principal cared about his reputation and status in the empire and also took care of aftercare.
“I thought he was just from Einrogard because he seemed like an excellent wizard.”
It’s a mistake that many people make.
The skeleton headmaster nodded in understanding.
Does this mean that when outstanding wizards in the empire have an accident, they are always Einroguard?
What was even more annoying was that 95% of these illusions were not correct.
Returning to the story of Antagondals, he is not from Einrogard and is a green wizard who has not yet lived for five hundred years…
‘I think it’s a bit strange to say ‘green’ to a wizard over 100 years old.’
It has been steadily gaining notoriety to the point where it is annoying.
In an irritated voice, the headmaster held up the <Antagondals’ Penetrating Eye> artifact and the Dark Spirit Tree Bracelet artifact with seven entangled snakes.
When enemies of the empire show up with strange artifacts, three out of ten times it’s something they made…
“A wizard selling an artifact to an anti-magicist?”
The enemy of my enemy is always an easy opponent to deal with. And in the first place, would the corrupt people choose their opponents? These are people who will swallow up their own bodies as long as it is profitable.
The skeleton principal’s voice was full of contempt.
Lee Han understood why the skeleton principal showed such emotions.
Artifacts are items that help even people who do not know magic create strange changes relatively easily.
I could not look favorably on magic criminals who created and sold such artifacts to anti-magicists or enemies of various empires.
The most arrogant thing is that you are insulting me by taking a line from the old kingdom! dare!
“…Uh… I see… I see.”
Lee Han was slightly embarrassed when important reasons suddenly came out and then trivial reasons came out.
You are young and don’t know how important this is.
The skeleton principal grumbled.
To the headmaster of the skeleton, who inherited the heritage of the old kingdom that has now disappeared, the different noble families of the kingdom were honorable titles with different meanings.
A young bastard who wasn’t even from Einrogard had the audacity to steal that title and claim it for himself…
“All right. “The next time I meet Antagondals, I will be sure to point out the arrogance you just mentioned.”
okay. Please remember.
Lee Han was dumbfounded at the sight of the skeleton principal seriously taking what he said as a joke, but suddenly an idea occurred to him and he asked.
“Then why did you tell me about Antagondals? ah. Do you have any instructions regarding this artifact?”
ah. Did you want to learn about this artifact? i get it. Please note.
Lee Han cursed his light tongue. He hated himself and couldn’t stand it.
“It wasn’t?”
The reason I told you about Antagondals was because, as you just said, I thought we would meet in the future.

“……”
I’m afraid of him so I avoid him, but since I don’t know much about you yet, I might approach him. Above all, that’s how they cut down the anti-magicists.
“I didn’t cut it…”
If you see a suspicious wizard, don’t hesitate and call him with the ring I gave you last time. Do you understand?
Lee Han wanted to call right away but held back.
* * *
With the help of the Skeleton Headmaster and the Death Knights, the camp that had been ruined by the battle was quickly restored.
The seriously injured knights also recovered and stood up to express their gratitude to the principal.
The skeleton principal spoke to the students in a generous voice.
You can stay a little longer if you want.
“uh? Is that true!?”
Anrago was surprised.
I had no idea that the skeleton principal would show such kindness.
Bartrek couldn’t believe it either and just looked at his friend and blinked.
then! How much credit have you made here? Of course you are welcome to stay!
At the words of the headmaster, the knights also smiled warmly and opened their arms as if welcoming them.
Anrago and Batrek already looked drunk in the warm atmosphere that could not be found in Einrogard.
‘The principal is also human!’
‘okay. Because I fought so hard, I could stay a little longer…’
There was nothing good about going back quickly.
I just have to travel through the mountains and forests to hunt for food with my friends.
In contrast, this is a place where food and drink are abundant.
“principal.”
Lee Han called the skeleton principal.
The skeleton principal looked at Lee Han warmly, as if asking why.
“Are there any spirits making a commotion inside?”
I don’t know what you’re talking about. Why don’t you stay a little longer?
Lee Han sighed and called his friends.
“…hey. “Let’s go back.”
It was clear that the school had flooded.
* * *
Instead of returning to the tower obediently, the White Tiger Tower friends rolled around on the floor and struggled.
“Maybe there wasn’t a flood!”
“I heard it was born.”
“Let’s say you win by giving in a hundred times! But do we really have to go back! Wodanaz! “To be honest, you don’t want to take care of those guys!”
“……”
It wasn’t because he didn’t believe Lee Han’s words, but it was a struggle mixed with denial of reality and not wanting to return to Einrogard.
It was already difficult, but I couldn’t imagine how difficult it would be if there was a flood now.
Lee Han was contemplating whether to hit him, but no matter how blind he was, beating up a man from a family of knights in the knight camp seemed a bit harsh, so he held back.
Instead, he called Giselle.
“Moradi. “It’s your tower, so you can persuade him to bring him.”
Giselle looked at the two trash, or rather her friends, with an annoyed gaze and tried to persuade them.
“Why don’t you just stay there and search around?”
“……”
“……”
The two rolled on the floor and stood up in an awkward posture. I was afraid of what would happen next if I endured Giselle’s actions.
But it didn’t fully stand up. That’s how much he didn’t want to return to Einro Guard.
haha. You seem to be misunderstanding something.
The person who helped Lee Han was the skeleton principal.
If Wardanaz goes back, you guys will go back too. That’s what a friend is.
“yes!? “It’s our other tower?!”
What are you going to do? Should I at least stamp the ‘Top is different but we’re friends’ stamp on my forehead?
When Principal Skeleton heard that Lee Han was returning to Einrogard, he was very upset.
The two White Tiger Tower students, who recognized the grumpiness in his voice, gave up and jumped up.
“Let’s go… we have to go.”
“Wardanaz… If other friends ask later, will you tell them that we took the lead and asked them to go back?”
Giselle couldn’t stand it any longer and exploded and started beating her friends with the sheath of her sword. The two students ran away screaming.
Regardless, Lee Han packed the boxes to take with him when he returned.
“Moradi. “Can you stop beating me up and help me?”
“…for a moment. “It’s too much.”
Giselle, who recovered by taking a deep breath, frowned slightly and counted the number of wooden boxes.
No matter how much I thought about it, it was too much for the four of us to take home. I said I brought a horse…
“ah. “I will carry it from here to here.”
“what? how?”
“I will carry this, this I will carry to Vonrigg, and the rest I will float with magic.”
“……”
Giselle was left speechless by the method, which was much more ignorant than expected.
“hmm. I just received this box… aren’t southern whirlpool clams too much of a luxury item? Plus, it spoils quickly.”
Lee Han was troubled when he saw the chest filled with high-quality shells collected from the southern coast of the empire.
Giselle agreed and said.
“I think it would be better to leave that behind.”
“It’s a shame… Principal. Would you like to barter?”
Get away from me.
Giselle was so surprised that her heart sank when she saw Lee Han calling out to the skeleton principal.
Giselle was usually not afraid, but the skeleton principal was an exception. Although some time had passed since she entered school, the skeleton principal was still a difficult opponent.
But calling it like that…
‘Is he really crazy?’
“Just wait a moment. Those who came from the top. Did you bring any special food with you? There is? Are you sure you don’t want to make a deal?”
Lee Han visited the Sangsang workers who remained in the camp and exchanged the preserved food and perishable high-quality food ingredients he had brought.
As the number of workers who came to work was large, the amount of food was more than expected. In addition, they were all small, non-perishable foods that were easy to transport.
“Hey, can you just give me something like this?”
“We consider frugality a virtue, so we don’t often eat such extravagant foods.”
Lee Han spoke without even putting saliva on his mouth. The workers willingly accepted, thinking they would have a party after all the hard work they had gone through.
“Is that leftover food? “I think there’s still quite a bit left, right?”
“yes. “We brought enough food for ourselves in case the work went on for a long time.”
Lee Han was deeply troubled when he saw the remaining canned food boxes.
How do I get that?
“hey. “Bring some alcohol.”
“Oh, no! Wardanaaz!!”
“Now is not the time for you to be extravagant with expensive alcohol.”
“I may not have another chance to drink <A Knight’s Joy>, which is over 20 years old!!”
Lee Han snatched the richly decorated liquor bottle from his friends’ hands and exchanged it with the workers. The workers were happy and the friends shed bloody tears.
After the transaction was roughly concluded, Lee Han looked through the luggage with satisfaction.
Other than the fact that it was a bit mountainous, the composition was pretty solid.
‘At this rate, I could easily last a month, even taking into account what was lost in the flood.’
“really. Wardanaz?”
The knights came and called Lee Han.
Thanks to the actions they showed during this raid, the knights’ eyes and attitudes were full of respect.
“yes?”
“This is a gift to the knight who brought the most honor to the original gathering.”
“!!”
Lee Han opened his eyes wide.
no way?
‘Is it a gold coin? golden statue? Or maybe it’s a weapon made of gold.’
“This meeting was canceled midway, but there will never be anyone more honored than Wardanaz. “I am happy to give this unanimous vote.”
“I am truly honored!”
Lee Han was grateful and accepted the gift.
It was a liquor bottle several times more luxuriously decorated than the one my friends had stolen earlier.
“……”
