Episode 603
Lee Han briefly exchanged glances with the skeleton principal.
The skeleton principal was speaking with his eyes.
‘Don’t be shaken.’
‘All right.’
Even in front of the emperor, Lee Han’s resolve did not waver.
I continued my conversation just as I had kissed the skeleton principal beforehand.
“I really enjoy it.”
Einrogard is not a happy place, but rather a place where magic is awakened by causing pain to the races…
‘no. ‘It’s not a dragon for nothing!’
Lee Han admired the wise emperor.
Even though he was in a corner of the imperial palace, he accurately understood Einroguard’s identity.
“no. Einrogard is the best magic school in the Empire. We are getting the best education. We are not hungry. “We are happy.”
I guess you prepared it before Osu came.
“……”
“……”
The two priests felt a pang inside.
How did know?
The emperor spoke as if he didn’t really care that the two had lied.
If you don’t want to talk, you don’t have to talk. I just asked because I was worried. Osu’s disciples always met a tragic fate. You tried to burn the continent, you tried to burn yourself, or you tried to burn the wastewater…
“When does that happen…”
The skeleton principal grumbled.
In the past, when magic education was a bit rough, there was a lot of talk about impatient students causing accidents.
In the dragon’s opinion, your talent is the most outstanding among Osu’s disciples. So he either wants to burn the continent or not burn himself. If something like that were to happen, how sad it would be for the races on the continent.
‘I think you left out the skeleton headmaster?’
“Do not worry. “Wardanaz is different from other disciples.”
So you had them deal with the king of ghouls?
The Emperor opened his mouth wide and yawned. At the same time, he looked down at the skeleton principal with sad eyes.
“That’s not what I meant…”
I guess so. Sewage. By chance… strangely, there are many coincidences around you…
“……”
The skeleton principal felt extremely wronged, but he endured it.
In reality, many of the losses were intentional under the guise of coincidence, so the excuse did not work.
The emperor will feel that there is no difference.
I also happened to deal with Mr. Serpent…
“It’s truly a coincidence.”
okay. I understand.
The emperor snorted, as if he didn’t want to hear any more. The skeleton principal’s long hair rose and fell again.
Fortunately, I don’t see any hatred or destruction of the continent in the disciple’s eyes.
The reason the emperor called Lee Han was because he wanted to meet him face to face and see what kind of person he was.
It was from the Wardanaz family, and if Osu’s disciple went on a rampage in the future, there was no telling what would happen to the empire.
Fortunately, even though I went through a lot of hardships during my first year, there was no sign of hatred or destruction of the continent in my eyes.
Moreover, seeing as he had made preparations in advance with Ohsu, he seemed to be quite friendly.
Although he was still young, he was clearly a large and strong wizard.
I’m glad you didn’t completely lie to the dragon.
“I have never told a lie in front of your Majesty.”
The emperor ignored the skeleton principal and spoke to Yi Han again.
I’m sorry to bother you. I wanted to check it for myself. I know you can handle it, so I won’t bother you anymore. Feel free to jump into danger.
“Thank you… but I don’t like jumping into danger.”
Lee Han, who was about to just ignore it, answered in an instant.
I tried to ignore it because it was in front of the emperor, but I just couldn’t admit it.
How humble you are.
“Wodanaz’s weakness is his humility.”
But you also have that drawback.
“Haha, that’s a joke too!”
haha. I’m not kidding.
The Emperor and the Skeleton Headmaster laughed at each other. Lee Han didn’t find it funny at all.
‘It’s very unfair.’
At that moment, I heard the sound of a bell ringing.
As the elegant sound of the bell rang in the vast, cave-like residence of the emperor, the headmaster of the skeleton was puzzled.
It was a sound announcing a new visitor.
“Were there any other guests today?”
Well… ah. Take a look at the dragon’s spirit. I forgot this. It was a day to create additional successors to the empire.
“Well. “You’ve been through a lot.”
“…?”
Lee Han could not follow their conversation.
What does it mean to create additional successors to the empire?
“really. It would be nice to see yours too. “It will help a lot.”

“What kind of crazy talk are you talking about?”
Lee Han whispered in a shocked voice so that the emperor could not hear.
I couldn’t figure out what this would help with.
However, the skeleton principal ignored him and asked the emperor for a favor.
“your majesty. Can Wardanaz take a field trip?”
It doesn’t matter, but wouldn’t you be surprised?
“it’s okay. Aren’t you a student of Einrogard? “You will understand once I explain it to you.”
Well, I’m your student, so I’ve probably seen many things more surprising than this…
“no. “Why are you slandering me like that?”
While the two were talking, the door opened and a group of people came in. There were 11 people in total.
An Orc woman from a swordsman’s guild, a mermaid woman from a wealthy noble family, a mixed-race Lamia woman from a ranger guild, a human woman who leads three merchants, a Rakshasha man who runs the southern magic tower, and a Centaur woman who is the leader of the Eastern Vigilantes. , an angel mixed-blood woman from a temple, a wolf beastman woman who is a renowned mercenary leader on the battlefield, a lizard beastman man who is the best artisan of the Western Bakery Guild of the Empire, a dwarf woman from the Bronze Dwarf Bank, and finally, an ogre mixed-blood woman.
‘Ogre mixed blood…?!’
Lee Han was surprised.
Although there were other rare races of the Empire, the Ogre half-blood was a rare race that was truly unimaginable.
But Lee Han’s surprise had only just begun.
Is everyone in?
Those who entered bowed their heads with the utmost formality. The emperor declared in a solemn voice.
“Conceive!”
‘Whatever!’
Lee Han now realized what level the emperor had shown.
Powerful, high-level magic that changes the order of the world with just a declaration!
Simply summoning wind and making water gush out must have been incredibly difficult, but to make another person pregnant?
I was in such a shocking state of magic that for a moment I couldn’t be surprised at what was happening.
‘no. no…!’
Lee Han came to his senses belatedly and realized what was happening.
Right now, right before my eyes, the emperor was using magic to create the royal family of the empire!
It’s over. Go back.
As soon as the emperor spoke, the people who came in politely greeted each other with utmost sincerity and then went out.
The dragon snorted with even more tired eyes.
I hope we get a decent successor this time. Sewage.
“It will definitely happen. your majesty.”
Don’t tease the dragon when you don’t expect it at all. Rather, I think you should explain it to your student quickly.
The skeleton principal belatedly realized Lee Han’s shocked look.
He was usually calm even when the sky fell and giants attacked him, so he never thought he would be this surprised.
“hmm. “Shouldn’t you have explained it first?”
“…Next time something like this happens, please explain first.”
* * *
On a continent where numerous kingdoms and empires were born and then collapsed, the first emperor who founded the current empire had one special thing that set him apart from others.
That was because the soul had dragon blood mixed in it.
If it had simply been a claim, its authenticity could have been questioned, but the emperor had a promise to prove it.
This sacred object was a sacred object that proved that the emperor’s ancestors had made a contract with the dragon, and it was a sacred object that promised to help the ancestor’s descendants in exchange for this sacred object if they ever asked for it.
Fortunately, the first emperor was able to establish an empire without using this sacred object.
However, even a prosperous empire declines over time.
Plagues, rebellions, civil wars, raids…
As the fate of the empire began to decline, the fierce war continued as if it would never end.
The royal family of the empire all led the army, claiming that they would become emperor.
Betrayal, assassination, bribery, surprise attack…
By the end of the civil war, the imperial family of the empire faced a tragic fate of being completely wiped out.
Nevertheless, the war was not over. This time, several ambitious nobles came forward claiming to take over the throne.
As the situation progressed like this, the heads of several significant and loyal noble families put their heads together and concentrated on resolving the situation.
How on earth can we end this chaotic turmoil?
Fortunately, the empire still had some luck left. One of them was a very wise and wise archmage.
“……”
Lee Han looked at the skeleton principal, but the skeleton principal paid him no mind and continued his explanation.
The wise and wise archmage, along with the heads of the family, found the will left by the last royal family and the sacred items left behind by the empire’s first emperor.
And by combining the two, a new interpretation was created.
-O great dragon. In accordance with the last will of your descendants, I intend to use this sacred item. Please rule the empire until there is a worthy successor to the throne!
Of course, the dragon didn’t like it very much.
No dragon liked ruling a kingdom. What the dragon liked was not meditation, being a beggar, and ruling.
But the oath is a sacred law.
In the end, the dragon had no choice but to accept the throne.
At that time, it was thought that once the chaos in the empire was over and there was a successor, he could cease to be emperor.
Most of the races on the continent had a strong desire for power…
I’m asking because I’m confused right now, but I’ll get back to you soon!
“…This is roughly the hidden history of the empire.”
The skeleton principal spoke in a serious manner. From behind, the emperor glared at the skeleton headmaster.
“Jeong… it’s really amazing.”
“okay. “It must be touching.”
‘I didn’t say I was impressed.’
“ah. “How many people dedicated themselves to stopping the chaos!”
“By the way, principal. There hasn’t been a successor yet, right? “What happened to that?”
“It’s a question that doesn’t need to be asked. “Because they are not qualified, there will be no successor.”
The dragon’s judgment that the races on the continent were greedy for power and would soon seek out the empire was a misjudgment.
The heads of the great noble families truly loved the current emperor. I did not want any new confusion to arise due to the change of emperor.
Why bring in an uncertain successor when there is a perfect emperor?
They’re like bugs. Trash bastards who like to be subservient. It’s like they were born as slaves…
Ignoring the voice coming from behind, the skeleton principal proceeded with his speech.
“There is something that should not be misunderstood here. Those who judge that successor do so calmly and without any self-interest. Do you understand?”
Osu… The dragon admits it. Of course, the dragon’s nine children are all failures to become emperors. But after that, it’s pretty good, isn’t it…
“How can people like that rule the empire?”
The skeleton headmaster shook his head resolutely.
It hurt (actually it didn’t hurt), but I couldn’t help it.
In order to create an exceptional successor, the emperor conceived and created his first nine children himself.
However, these nine children inherited too much of the dragon’s nature and were not at all suitable to be emperors.
How can people who meditate and seclude themselves when they are bored run an empire?
Realizing the cause of the failure, the emperor saved his opponent from then on and diluted the dragon’s blood as thin as possible.
Lightly, to the point where our distant ancestors had a connection with dragons.
After all, what the empire’s nobles wanted was legitimacy inherited from the first emperor, so there was no need for the dragon’s blood to be thick.
“So what happened?”
Lee Han asked without realizing it.
It was such an amazing story.
“What could have happened? “If it had been useful, I would have taken over already.”
The skeleton principal answered coldly.
As the dragon’s blood becomes darker, its abilities become more outstanding, but its personality also becomes lazy.
Conversely, if the dragon’s blood becomes thinner, it cannot benefit from its abilities.
In fact, they are nobles born from comfortable families. How can these people become better emperors than dragons?
Most of them were ambitious idiots.
Come to think of it, aren’t there royal family members among your friends? How was it?
The emperor looked at Li Han and asked.
Expectation was sparkling in those eyes.
“Uh, um. “That’s it.”
The skeleton principal looked pitiful and shook his head.
