Episode 559
Iunrade was resentful of his own mouth.
No, in fact, it was no exaggeration to say that it was a snout at this point.
“If a graduate cannot trust his juniors that much, how can he trust the officials of the empire?”
“Well, that’s right.”
“I am a first-year student of the Wardanaz family. Hmm. “I need to ask more.”
“……”
At his superior’s words, Iunrade nodded and then paused.
I was embarrassed and confused and couldn’t figure it out, but when I thought about it, I realized that this Wardanaz was the same Wardanaz I heard last time.
The one who caused the world’s skeleton principal to be brought before His Majesty the Emperor…!
Iunrade’s face turned pale with fear and tension.
I couldn’t even imagine how this investigation would end.
‘Is it okay? Will it be okay!?’
* * *
“……”
“……”
Lee Han and Giselle walked in silence.
Amidst the noise of the city, countless races mingled and walked quietly among the streets passing by.
Their faces were glum and dark.
Lee Han sighed once and opened his mouth.
“…Just forget it and buy what you need.”
“It’s that easy?”
“It can’t be helped.”
Giselle glanced once, thought about it, then sighed and said.
“okay. “Forget it and just buy what you need.”
The two stood in front of <Ikalten’s Jeolwoogwan>, one of the bookstores in Grandeur City.
A clerk working at a bookstore stopped while trying to greet a customer as he opened the door.
‘…What’s wrong?’
The two had dark expressions, as if their friend had just died.
“<Creating Artifacts from the Empire’s Garbage Dump>, is this the book?”
“That’s right, that book. “They say it’s good for preparing for final exams.”
“<How to use basic yellow stone>. “This too?”
“Hwangseok is often thrown away, so there is no harm in using it as a reference.”
With gloomy faces, the two prepared the items needed for the final exam one by one.
Reagents and materials were not the only things needed for the final exam.
There were books of courage, friendship, grit, hatred, etc., as well as books of magic.
Normally, these grimoires could be obtained by going to the library, but Einrogard’s clever students chose to just go out and buy books rather than go to the library and get them.
At least the magic books sold outside didn’t bite people.
“for a moment. Wardanaz. Why should I buy <Easily Misunderstood Imperial Spelling>?
“Uh, you top kids keep spelling things wrong.”
“……”
Giselle’s cheeks turned red from the tips of her long ears.
Cursing her White Tiger Tower friends who made even simple spelling mistakes, Giselle moved to the next bookshelf.
While looking through <Saint Iactus Defeats the Evil Lich>, Giselle felt something strange.
“Wardanaz.”
“?”
“Isn’t that guy suspicious?”
“I think we might be the most suspicious people in this bookstore…”
Even as Lee Han said that, he stared intently at the person Giselle pointed to.
There was definitely a reason for saying it was suspicious.
It wasn’t because I covered myself with a robe. Since there were more than one person in a large city with their bodies covered, he didn’t suspect anything just because of that.
The other person could sense the wizard’s unique magic pattern.
There was a subtle difference between the surroundings of ordinary people who did not know how to use magical power and the surroundings of magicians who instinctively tried to control and control their magical powers.
I didn’t know this when I just entered Einrogard, but as time went by, I became able to distinguish these details.
Moreover, the books the other person chooses are…
‘<blood and ■■■>, <calling the devil ■■■■>’
Some of the magic books at Jeolwoogwan were purchased after being verified by named wizards, but there were also some suspicious books whose origins were unknown.
Of course, as it was a bookstore located in the central area of the city, it was only a handful compared to the overall size. It wasn’t a street stall in a back alley, and it didn’t have many suspicious books on it.
However, the other person was blatantly skimming through and selecting only those books.
“It seems suspicious.”
“yes? Dagger inside the robe. There’s blood on it. “It’s clear that it hasn’t been that long since it hasn’t dried out yet.”
Giselle whispered in a sharp voice.
Only then did Lee Han realize that there was a dagger stuck inside the other person’s robe.
“ah. Right.”
“…for a moment. Didn’t you see the dagger? “Then what did you say was suspicious?”
“What about being a wizard?”
“?”
“I keep trying to collect suspicious grimoires…”

“That’s not really… either. done. “That’s not important now.”
Giselle was about to say, ‘Wardanaz, aren’t you a wizard and collect a lot of suspicious grimoires?’ but stopped.
Because that wasn’t important right now.
“So what do you think?”
“It’s suspicious, but there are probably dozens of suspicious people in the city, so we can’t interfere with everyone. “You can give as many reasons as you want for a bloody dagger.”
Giselle frowned and looked worried for a moment. She tapped the sheath of her sword with the tip of her long finger and said as if she had no choice.
“Of course it is.”
“Just in case, let’s just tell the clerk.”
After finishing their purchase, the two left Jeolwoogwan and moved on to the next location.
It was <Puyo’s Banyan Wooden Cane>, a cane craftsman’s shop.
“How did you leave the silver there?”
“I left behind what I received from my last job.”
“……”
While I was confused about where to start, I saw a familiar person walking in front of me.
It was the suspicious stranger I saw at the bookstore earlier.
“that?”
“It’s probably just a coincidence that our paths overlapped.”
Lee Han said firmly.
There wasn’t enough time right now, and I didn’t want to get involved with a suspicious person.
Please don’t cause trouble!
Pop-
The opponent stopped in front of <Puyao’s Banyan Tree Staff>. There was no sign of popularity around.
Without realizing it, Lee Han instinctively grabbed Giselle and chanted a spell.
“Cloak, swallow me!”
As the invisibility magic unfolded, the two gods disappeared. The other person looked around, but did not notice anything unusual.
Sigh-
The suspicious stranger took out a clumsy staff and pulled out a bloody dagger with his other hand.
When he ‘slitted’ his own arm, the blade contained blood and magical power pulsated irregularly.
‘Blood magic!’
Lee Han realized what kind of magic the other person was using.
Of course, it was a much more violent, crude, and dangerous structure than the blood magic that Lee Han had learned, but the principle of amplifying magic power with blood was consistent.
As his magical power increased, the stranger seemed to gain confidence and tried to cast a spell with his staff.
“Power, power, power…”
Even though it’s clumsy, it’s even a spell that strengthens oneself.
No matter how I looked at it, there was only one reason to recite such a spell in front of someone else’s store with few people around.
Lee Han and Giselle exchanged glances at the same time and sighed.
It was a truly unlucky day.
“Dash down, Perkuntra’s thunderbolt!”
“Inhabit the blade and destroy!”
“Khahahaha!”
The wizard who tried to loot the store was struck by lightning and a sword and fell to the ground.
* * *
“Thank you so much. thank you so much.”
Puyao didn’t normally express much emotion, but this time he seemed to be very moved, holding the two’s hands and shaking them up and down vigorously.
“I just did what I had to do.”
“you’re right. “Until you are so grateful…”
As the city guard dragged away the fallen criminal, the two of them also wanted to get the silver coins quickly.
“Wait a moment. I helped you like this, but I can’t let you go without doing anything. “I recently acquired some really precious tea leaves…”
“Hey, Puyo. Actually, I’m busy with work…”
“Now that I think about it, how did it come out? “It won’t be easy for Einrogard students to come out, right?”
When Fu Yao asked in confusion, Li Han quickly answered.
“What tea leaves did you get?”
“ah. So, these are tea leaves dug from the empire’s North Sea glaciers.”
Giselle gave him a look saying, ‘We need to end the conversation quickly,’ but Lee Han had no choice.
Thinking about his future connections with Puyao, he couldn’t resist his feelings for no reason.
Thanks to this, the two were treated to tea by Puyao, had their wands inspected, received some advice on magician’s use, and received an armful of wood for the wand that Puyao had recently trimmed as a gift.
“……”
“…I think I’m in trouble.”
Giselle muttered, but Lee Han pretended not to hear and put the wood on his back.
“let’s go. “There’s still a lot to buy.”
“I think we’re done. “There will probably be robbers on the next road.”
“Don’t say anything like that. Are you going to give in to superstition?”
Giselle sighed once and followed after Lee Han.
That was correct.
No matter how much fate torments them, they must fight against it.
“okay. “Others will be buying it too, so we can’t buy much…”
Kwadangtangtang!
“Aaaah!”
“The wall collapsed! “Everyone be careful!!”
“Zelin! Zeline got caught in the rubble! Damn it. The bleeding is so bad! “Sisenja, why are you experiencing such an ordeal?”
Lee Han threw down the wooden baggage and ran to the construction site of the next guild.
Giselle ran after him without saying a word.
“Everyone get out of the way!”
“Who are you… wow, wizard! “Are you a wizard from Einrogard?”
There was no time to make excuses, so Lee Han raised his cane and gestured. Giselle immediately used her enhanced strength to kick the debris away.
As soon as space was available, Lee Han washed the patient lying down with water and immediately chanted a spell.
“Stick, stick, stick, stick…”
The bones began to come together with a crunching sound. Giselle looked up in shock as she cleared away the rubble.
I knew that Lee Han was the only first-year student who could properly use healing magic, but I had no idea that he could heal such wounds at this speed.
“…Heal!”
“It’s over, is it over?”
“I was lucky.”
Lee Han gasped and nodded.
I ignored it when Moradi said it, but today might be a truly unlucky day.
When we arrived at the mansion, the prisoners inside were trying to escape. When we caught the prisoners, they met a robber. When we defeated the robber, there was an accident…
‘I thought we’d do some fortune telling and decide on a date.’
Lee Han regretted and put away his cane.
“Gam, thank you. Mr. Wizard. You are a lifesaver!”
“Please tell me your name!”
Before Lee Han could answer, a city guard passing by behind him took off his helmet, nodded, and explained kindly.
“The person on the left is Ihan of the Wardanaz family, and the person on the right is Giselle of the Moradi family. Wizards of Einrogard. Thank you again for your dedication.”
“okay!! Thank you so much!”
“yes…”
“We are.”
Lee Han and Giselle gave up and nodded.
At this point, I might just have to accept reality.
* * *
“No one is there yet!”
“Run, run!”
Students who returned before the sun set picked up their luggage and ran to the upper hallway of the mansion.
Fortunately, despite the uproar, there was still no one in the mansion.
The dimensional gateway also worked fine.
“Go in!”
“Everyone worked hard!”
The students waiting in the warehouse cheered when they saw their friends who had returned.
“No one followed you, right?”
“hey. Wardanaz said he caught a robber. What do you mean? “Why are you catching the robber?”
“robbery? “I heard you saved the life of a stonemason guild member?”
“…???”
“????”
The students looked at each other in confusion.
“It must be a rumor, right?”
“I guess so. Wardanaz is not some kind of idiot and would not go around doing something like that.”
“that’s right. Moradi is also there. That Moradi is not the kind of person who would make a mistake by offering to help others. “It’s not even Anglago.”
“hey. “You bastard.”
