Episode 634
“Junior. “You can’t hate learning.”
“Ugh.”
“Studying is all for your benefit. Are you comfortable here? If you go into Einroguard, it will be even more painful. “If you don’t pass the exam, you’ll go to the punishment room!”
‘That’s too much of a lie.’
Alcicle was inwardly disgusted.
Of course, Alsicle also agreed that those barbarians needed education. In particular, education about the history and respect for noble families such as the Pengelin family was desperately needed.
But who would be fooled by lies like that?
“I don’t like punishment rooms…”
“Okay, okay. “Then you should study.”
‘no. That works.’
Pasig-
A reply came back from the main gate of <Exploration Room>.
Alsicle, who had been looking forward to it, rushed forward.
-illusion. Director departure.
“?”
Alcicle tilted his head.
Who is the director?
“Who is the director? “Are you my brother?”
“what did you say?”
“here. “It says the director has departed.”
Lee Han was startled and ran over.
Alcicle was also taken aback by the urgency he had never seen from Wardanaz.
“Why, what’s wrong? Is something wrong?”
“That can’t be possible?”
Lee Han received the reply and read it.
But the content did not change.
-illusion. Director departure.
“No… didn’t I come to the wrong place?”
“Who is the director?”
“Oh, you are the matriarch.”
Matriarch.
So, she was Lee Han’s mother.
Alcicle was surprised.
“Did you have a mother?!?!”
“……”
“……”
Ihan and Eandurde stared at Alcicle.
Eandurde especially looked at the trash as if he were looking at it. Alcicle, who belatedly realized his rudeness, shouted in embarrassment.
“I’m sorry. “I mean, that’s it.”
“Trash…”
“no! No. That’s not it! “Matriarch Wardanaz does come out occasionally, but my wife has never shown herself, so I didn’t even know she existed!”
Alcicle protested earnestly.
Usually, the head of a great noble family or his or her spouse, no matter how social, their status was known to the empire.
Since there are official events that even the most unsociable person must attend, rumors cannot fail to spread.
However, there were no rumors about the wife of the Wodanaz family head.
The matriarch showed up occasionally, but the wife never said anything, so Alcicle wondered, ‘Did he die young?’…
“ah. It’s because the director is a bit of an anti-social person. “He hates outside activities.”
“?”
Alcicle wondered what the fuss was about.
The Wardanaz family was already the most unsociable family in the empire.
Unless the Empire really needs an Archmage right now, he won’t even appear, so why?
“Uh… Wardanaz. This may be rude, but your family is… already asocial, right? “The head of the family is not a sociable person…”
“no way. “Compared to the director, the head of the family is a sociable person.”
“…!!!”
While Alcicle was shocked, Lee Han explained further.
It was easy to mistake it because the people of the empire were unaware of its existence, but my mother, the matriarch of the Wardanaz family and the director of the Dawn Library, was alive and well.
I just hate outside activities.
“No matter how much you hate it, how can you not be known like this?! “The officials…”
“hmm. “It’s magic.”
“…I’m a wizard too. “Magic is not omnipotent.”
“So it’s like this.”
When the head of Wardanaz received a call saying, ‘A major drought has occurred in the western part of the empire, please help,’ he moved the entire sea water, drained the salt, and created a reservoir.
That much will be done.
But the wife just ignored the call.
Then, the memory of the messenger who delivered the message was erased, the memory of the official who sent the message was erased, and if the superior was involved, the superior’s memory was also erased…
“……”
Alcicle was so shocked that he could not keep his mouth shut.

Of course, among the highest levels of fantasy magic, there was also magic that could cut out an opponent’s memories.
However, for a very brief moment, it was just a touch of memory from before.
They manipulated the memories of important people like the Wardanaz family, without leaving out even a single member of the empire?
“Does that make sense?!”
“It makes sense, Alcicle, you don’t know.”
“…I see, that’s right.”
Alcicle shivered as if cold ice had been placed on his spine.
When I came here, I had a light heart to study the amazing magic of the Wardanaz family and the outstanding wisdom of the head of the family, but now I only felt awe mixed with fear, like a boy who learned magic for the first time when he met the archmage.
Is this magic?
“hmm. I don’t know why the director is coming out. Actually, I haven’t even talked to you many times.”
“When was the last time we talked?”
“Was it your birthday when you were eight? “At that time, he came and gave me a gift and immediately entered the dimension.”
I knew it was a really useless question, but Alcicle couldn’t overcome his curiosity.
“What did you give me?”
“It was an expensive-looking grimoire, but the head of the house took it back because it was dangerous. Just give me money.”
Lee Han grumbled as if he was disappointed.
‘I don’t think that’s the problem…’
It rattled.
The door to the <Exploration Room> opened with a small sound.
From there, the most vicious and threatening demon Alcicle had ever seen walked out.
Alcicle realized that the light emitted by his defensive artifact was fading.
Some demons cause damage to living things just by looking at them, and the demon in front of me was just such a demon.
Ihan quickly covered Eandurde’s eyes.
“Director! “Your transformation hasn’t finished!”
-ah.
The devil seemed to realize it too late and released the transformation spell. A pale and slender human wizard appeared.
Looking at that, Alcicle wondered if what Wodanaz had said earlier was actually a joke or a lie.
How could a wizard with such intelligent and excellent eyes be such an eccentric person?
“You’re a penguin.”
“yes. “This is Alcicle of the Pengerin family.”
“okay.”
Rayana, the director of the Dawn Library and Lee Han’s mother, stretched out her finger.
Alcicle stood still innocently, not knowing what was about to happen.
“Director! “You can’t erase my memory!”
“Why?”
“Alsicle’s mouth is the heaviest in the empire!”
“…omg! “I will never go anywhere and tell you!”
Alcicle cried out in horror as he realized that his memory had almost been lost.
Rayana nodded. Rather than believing what Lee Han or Alsicle said, she nodded as if she was not particularly interested.
“He entered Einrogard.”
“yes. “I am working hard to become a wizard whose family name will not be forgotten.”
“I’m not sure if learning from mundane wizards is a good idea.”
They were professors from Einrogard who suddenly became ordinary magicians.
Lee Han answered as if he wasn’t really surprised.
“I think it’s effective because my level is low.”
“okay. “Isn’t there a necessary grimoire?”
“it’s okay.”
Alcicle looked at him from the side, saying, ‘Why are you refusing!?’, but Lee Han was cool.
It was obvious that even if I told him the name of the necessary grimoire, it wouldn’t come back properly anyway.
He would definitely recommend a strange grimoire that could cause your mind to collapse the moment you read it, saying, ‘Don’t read that mundane grimoire.’
“By the way, director, what brought you here?”
“I heard you entered Einroguard and trained for a year.”
Alcicle was slightly moved.
“You were worried about whether I was okay.”
“I came to see how much your magic has improved. You could say I was worried about whether that was okay too. “Is the Gorgon hybrid next to you the child you had with a penguin?”
“no.”
Alcicle clicked his beak in shock, but Madame Wardanaz paid him no mind.
“If you need a grimoire while working as a principal, don’t hesitate to tell me at any time.”
“…Director. “I just finished my first year.”
“ah.”
There was silence for a moment.
Rayana said as if she was mistaken.
“I guess I used my wisdom a little too much.”
“The magic failed.”
“My magic is not wrong. Lee Han. “If one of the two is wrong, the future is wrong.”
‘You’re being ridiculous.’
Lee Han internally rebelled against his mother’s words.
What kind of nonsense are you talking about, considering the absurd future of becoming the principal of Einrogard?
“If you miss the grimoire while learning from common wizards, please write to me at any time. “I will find and send you a reply at the latest.”
“yes. thank you.”
“Then I’m busy with work, so I’ll stop.”
Rayana lightly gestured and went back through the door and entered the dimension.
Only then did Alcicle relax and sigh heavily.
There was a rumor going around that the head of the Wardanaz family said, ‘It’s a magic that takes on a human skin,’ but the wife said it was just magic that didn’t even take on a human skin.
To cut out Alcicle’s memories with just one finger, without even using a wand.
“It was… a really great experience!”
When the fear subsided, Alcicle spoke in an excited voice.
I was so overwhelmed that I didn’t notice it before, but looking back, it was truly an amazing experience.
From the wife’s appearance to her exit.
All the magic power around him was in the hands of the director. It was in an act of confidence that he attempted to cast a spell with his fingers without his wand.
As Alcicle was also a wizard, apart from fear, he could not help but tremble at his madness.
“Aren’t you crazy…?”
“Shh. I just have to think inside. “It’s rude to spit it out.”
Eandurde and Ihan were disgusted by Alcicle’s reaction and distanced themselves.
You just saw that and said it was a good experience?
“Oh, no… hey, Wodanaz. “You might be used to it because you are a relative and I see you often, but I was shocked.”
“How many times have I not met you in my life?”
‘Oops. ‘This kid is less shocked because of his magic.’
Come to think of it, even when he was in his demon form earlier, Wardanaz was just calm.
Resistance was resistance, but control of surrounding magic power was also an important factor for wizards, like their birthright.
The moment the wizard lost confidence in his ability to control the magic around him, he suffered a strong mental blow.
This was very fatal, as well-maintained concentration and belief are the source of magic.
But Wardanaz was different.
Even if all control over the magic around me was taken away, because I had so much magic, the control around me did not go beyond a certain level.
Just as a heavy rock does not move no matter how strong the wind blows, that was the case with Wardanaj.
“Anyway! “I was really surprised.”
“Yeah… well…”
“Seeing as your wife calls herself the director, it must be a really great library.”
In empires, collections and libraries were often created not to spread knowledge, but to preserve a great vision.
The position of director of these collections or libraries was inherited along with the family and was an honorable name in itself.
Considering that Mrs. Wardanaz claims to be the director, it is probably a library that has been around since ancient times.
“When I was young, my older brother received a book like that as a gift, and it almost killed him.”
“This must be a really great library, right?”
Alcicle pretended not to hear and changed the subject.
Now that I think about it, a couple whose hobby is dimensional exploration probably wouldn’t have included an ordinary grimoire.
Perhaps each and every one of them is a fatally banned book.
“Still, I’m jealous.”
‘Are you really crazy?’
Regardless of Lee Han’s thoughts, Alcicle spoke with an impressed face.
“One is the head of the Wardanaz family, and the other is the director of a library handed down from ancient times. The two of you must have joined hands to complete great magic. “I want to meet a spouse like that.”
In Alcicle’s opinion, the most insignificant marriage was one in which people were united in mutual sensuality.
The next step was a marriage in which the two families were considered for their family’s honor and benefit. This was an ordinary marriage.
The greatest marriages were unions for noble purposes and knowledge.
For the great study of magic without any selfishness or lust…
“You two just fell in love at first sight and got married.”
“……”
