Episode 563
After listening to Lee Han’s words, Professor Alpen checked again to see if he had missed something.
It was an excellent composition that made you feel like Professor Verdus taught it well.
This composition, which arranged the artifacts efficiently and neatly without any extra waste, seemed like it could not have been improved even by Lee Han’s senior.
However, no matter how you look at it, the magic power consumption could not be reduced as much as Lee Han had concluded.
“how?”
“yes?”
“So… look. Wardanaz County. Just looking at the artifacts located at the southern gate, aren’t there <Strengthening Hardness>, <Corrosion Prevention>, and <Enemy Detection> magics? Then, wouldn’t at least three chests of medium quality or higher magic stones be consumed per day?”
“ah. sorry. “I forgot to write it down.”
Lee Han apologized and added,
“This is a calculation result based on the assumption that magical power is overcharged when creating an artifact. Among the artifacts placed in the fortress, simple artifacts can last for more than ten years without a separate supply of magical energy if they are overcharged with magical energy during production.”
“?”
“??”
Professor Alpen and the guild members also had question marks on their faces.
I couldn’t quite understand what the first-year student in front of me was saying.
“Is there… such a thing? professor. We don’t know much about magic, but are there artifacts like that? “This is my first time hearing it.”
“Hmm. As far as I know… it has that effect in theory.”
Professor Alpen explained to the confused guild members.
The structure of the artifact could be broadly divided into the core that makes up the magic and the power unit that supplies magic power to the core.
At this time, the magicians would put a lot of effort into cutting and refining the magic circle to increase the efficiency of the power unit.
The amount of magical power consumed by the artifact varies depending on the level of completion of this part.
But in theory, what if, instead of putting in this much effort, you give the core as much magic as it can and then seal it?
Even if you don’t put in much effort from the outside, you will be able to supply horsepower on your own.
“But isn’t there a wizard who makes it this way?”
It was like that.
There was a reason why Professor Alpen and the guild members were embarrassed.
This was because wizards who created artifacts in this way were extremely rare.
It was only a minor problem to structure it or increase its strength so that it could withstand the overload of magical energy, and the biggest problem was that there was no wizard who could grant that much magical energy.
Why would a wizard need to infuse a dangerous amount of magic that could kill him when it would be much more stable if he just supplied it on a regular basis?
It’s not an artifact that can never provide magical power again once it’s made…
“uh? “Isn’t there any?”
“As far as I know, there isn’t one.”
“……”
Lee Han was embarrassed.
This was a very common method used when learning or helping with work under Professor Verdus.
-professor.
-……
-professor.
-……
-professor! professor! professor!!
-Ahh! Why are you yelling into my ear? Why are you doing this?
-sorry. You didn’t listen.
-What are you talking about? You didn’t call me.
-…Anyway, Professor. I have a question. The enchantment books I’ve seen don’t give this much magical power to artifacts. Isn’t that giving too much?
-are you okay. are you okay. look. It’s more efficient because you give it a lot.
-That’s true, but why in the grimoire?
-That’s because it’s a grimoire taken a long time ago.
-Is this a book that came out last year?
-It was a long time ago. And that’s because the guy who wrote the grimoire is stupid.
-No… He’s a wizard with quite a bit of experience and has published several papers…?
-You can still be stupid. ruler. It’s okay. Any problems? Efficient, right?
-Is the safety okay?
-So you have to be careful not to explode. Since it hasn’t exploded so far, I guess I’m doing well.
-Professor, you’re just speaking roughly because you’re lazy, right?
-Why don’t you trust me? trust me.
‘shit. I believed it.’
Lee Han thought of Professor Verdus and gritted his teeth.
Even though I was hurt like that, I can’t believe I’m being hurt again!
As expected, I thought something was strange, but it didn’t seem like he was doing this well outside.
‘Well, there’s no way it could be done this way.’
Looking at the expressions of the people around him again, Lee Han wondered why he didn’t notice it himself.
Does your intelligence go down when you join Einroguard?
Making it this way would consume too much of the magician’s magic, and if a mistake was made during production, the risk of an accident would greatly increase…
“sorry. “I guess I inadvertently made this calculation because of my habit of working with Professor Verdus.”
“You mean Professor Verdus? “Is this what you learned from Professor Verdus?”
“yes.”
Lee Han was slightly excited when Professor Noh reacted quite loudly.
‘Are you going to beat up Professor Verdus?’

If so, I would like to see it a little bit.
“It’s truly amazing. Professor Verdus! Geniuses aren’t geniuses for nothing.”
“…???”
Professor Alpen continued speaking, not knowing that Lee Han was shocked.
“okay. In fact, I heard that Professor Verdus was having a hard time teaching his students because his genius was so great, but looking at this, I think that statement was a bit exaggerated. “He passed his vision on to his students in such a wonderful way.”
“No… uh… is this a vision?”
Lee Han was embarrassed.
Of course, any secret method could be said to be a vision, but in that sense, Cai Nando’s <Secretly Eating Snacks During Lectures> could also be called a vision.
But usually, if you go around calling something like that a vision, don’t you think you’re crazy?
“You can say it’s a vision. Wardanaz County. Didn’t this increase the efficiency of the artifact? “The military may not know much because they still have little experience, but this is a really great result.”
“Well… Consumption of magical power is dangerous… Accidents are also dangerous…”
“Didn’t you say that there were no major problems while continuing to work with Professor Verdus?”
“…I did…”
Professor Alpen patted Lee Han’s shoulder with a strong hand.
“Mr. Wardanaz. I usually advise students to be humble. But I guess I’ll have to give you some different advice. Moderately humble! This is something to be proud of. “You and Professor Verdus, who taught you.”
Lee Han, who felt very wronged, resorted to a final tactic.
“By the way, Professor. “Doesn’t Professor Verdus always act like a weirdo?”
He took out Professor Verdus’ reputation and began to cling to it like a ghost.
No matter how little Professor Alpen was in Einrogard, if you think about what happened to Professor Verdus from time to time, the current result is not ‘a beautiful succession between a genius teacher and a genius student’, but ‘a crazy teacher taking care of his students without caring about safety.’ You will be able to tell that it is ‘overwork.’
“Of course.”
“Yes?”
“But isn’t that true of all Einrogard professors?”
“……”
Lee Han was speechless for the first time in a long time.
* * *
The guild members who heard and understood the explanation were so moved that they were on the verge of tears.
A student who studied directly with Einrogard’s genius professor would use his vision to organize the arrangement of the fortress’ artifacts.
“This… we may be in a historic place right now.”
“That’s right, that’s right.”
Although they were guild members from various guilds, their hearts were filled with the same emotion.
“like…”
“It’s like <Miracle of the Three Wizards>.”
The guild members muttered at the same time without realizing it.
The miracle of three wizards.
At that time, the treasury of Ganistalas Castle was completely empty due to rebellions and raids.
The budget that the three wizards in the castle could spend was less than 1/10th of the usual amount of gold coins.
Nevertheless, the three wizards joined hands with the construction guilds of Ganistalas and achieved a miracle.
This miracle was not just a miracle for wizards.
It was also a miracle of the guild members who helped the wizards complete the castle gate.
The wizards were thrilled by the awesomeness of magic in that anecdote, but the guild members holding hammers and chisels were thrilled by the beauty of technology in that anecdote.
‘Why such an anecdote?’
Lee Han was surprised to hear the other person talking.
Why are we so moved by the terrible anecdote of an evil castle lord exploiting wizards and guild members with less than 1/10th of the budget?
No matter how much I thought about it, it was something I couldn’t understand.
But the guild members didn’t care and continued talking.
“A building with a soul never disappears and remains forever. okay. “Maybe this ‘Pocket Knife Fortress’ will become ‘The Miracle of the Three Wizards’ for us.”
“Let’s make the guild’s name known to the empire!”
“Okay, let’s let the guild’s name be known to the empire!!”
The members of the masonry guild and the woodworking guild, who had been at odds with each other until just now, shook hands and made a firm promise.
Professor Alpen looked touched at that sight.
Of course, the professor knew about their awkward relationship.
Since several guilds joined forces to receive orders, they had no choice but to calculate each other’s benefits or losses.
However, when the glory of being able to make a name for themselves in the empire came before their eyes, they came together like craftsmen.
“Mr. Wardanaz. Are you watching? “Your magic brought them together.”
“No… no matter how much I compromise, that’s not true…”
“haha. “I told you it was okay to be moderately humble!”
‘Did you get the request for nothing?’
Lee Han has never regretted receiving a request that paid money.
But this time, I felt like I might regret it a bit.
‘When I think about it, all of this may be because of Professor Verdus.’
Lee Han promised that once this incident was over, he would definitely get revenge on Professor Verdus.
* * *
Lee Han, who came out of Professor Alpen’s room, felt several times more tired than before.
-We will make sure to spread the wizard’s reputation throughout the empire!
-Yes, thank you. But if you just pay me well, I have enough…
-no! Please wait!
‘Uhm. I’m sure the repairs won’t be delayed.’
Even though the guild members were excited and said, ‘We will build a building that will be known throughout the empire,’ it did not make much sense to Lee Han.
Rather, I was worried that the other person would be too excited.
At first glance, it seemed strange to be worried about the other person being excited, but there was a reason for the worry.
I build a building with the budget I received from the empire -> I’m excited and trying to improve the completeness of the building -> It costs more than the initially calculated estimate -> Sorry, wizard, please wait a moment!
Lee Han was worried that they would try to improve quality in other areas, even though they had reduced costs at best.
‘Just in case, I’ll have to tell the professor again later.’
If I were to be blunt about it, it might sound rude, so I was thinking of sending it to them saying, ‘I’m worried about my guild members, so let’s make it in moderation, right?’
“Student Lee Han. “Student Lee Han.”
“oh. professor.”
When Professor Garcia called, Lee Han looked up in joy.
There were very few instances in Einrogard where I felt happy when a professor called me, and one of those rare instances was Professor Lee Garcia.
“What’s going on?”
“Would you like to come in for a moment?”
Without any suspicion, Lee Han followed Professor Garcia into the classroom.
In the middle of the classroom, there was a pit so deep and dark that you couldn’t see the bottom.
“…I trusted the professor!!”
Lee Han immediately pulled out his cane and rolled to the side.
Professor Garcia was taken aback by that sight.
“Why, why? “What did I do wrong?”
“…Weren’t you trying to push me into the pit?”
“…Student Lee Han. “Has Professor Bagrek ever pushed a student like this into a pit like this?”
