Episode 645
“There will always be smiles on the faces of the people of the Wardanaz family estate. really. Wardanaz. “I heard you went around with the principal during this vacation?”
“huh. “I persuaded some of my juniors who didn’t want to come in.”
“why?!”
Guyando was astonished as he listened from the side.
Why on earth would you commit such an evil act?
My friends ignored me and continued talking.
“Now that you think about it, were there any memorable juniors among you?”
“hmm. “There was a junior who was talented as a knight and even had supernatural powers…”
“oh.”
“He hates fighting.”
“??”
The friends tilted their heads.
Even if a knight hates fighting, is it okay to hate fighting in Einrogard?
“But I did a good job persuading you.”
“Were there any students at the Blue Dragon Tower?”
“There was a junior from Pengerin’s family. “I heard your skills are good.”
Yoner and Guynando were very interested in what Ihan said.
If you are a junior of the Pengelin family, wouldn’t you come to the Blue Dragon Tower?
Of course, due to the rules for protecting new students, they won’t be able to meet in their second year right away, but it’s still nice to know that an outstanding junior is joining their ranks.
“Personality?! “What’s your personality like?!”
“I’m full of confidence because I have skills.”
“this!”
Gainando let out a sigh.
The most important thing for a junior was not magic skills or wisdom, but personality.
A junior who is polite and knows how to respect seniors needs to come in!
“How about wizard cards or cooking?”
“Why are you asking that…”
Nilia looked at Gainando as if he were dumbfounded.
“Are you looking for a new nanny among your juniors?”
“Didn’t you just say Wardanaaz?”
“Oh, no.”
Ratford, who was listening to the story, asked curiously.
“Were there any juniors like me?”
“There was. Good, Ratford. “When you meet, you’ll be able to talk to each other well, right?”
Lee Han thought it went well, so he brought up the story of Priest Carre of the Vildochkal Church.
Ratford listened with interest at first, but as the story progressed, his expression became crumpled.
“You are a very stupid junior!”
“Is that so?”
“I’m so greedy that I don’t even join the guild. What does the guild think? A junior like that would probably act alone even if he entered the dormitory.”
Ratford was unusually angry.
Even though they had the same background as thieves, their way of thinking was completely opposite.
‘hmm. It’s a good thing you two won’t see each other for a year.’
Lee Han thought so to himself. Ratford looked at Lee Han and asked.
“Wardanaz. “You must have given that stupid junior a harsh admonition, right?”
“Water, of course. “I said you shouldn’t do it that way.”
“Very well done! “What did you say again?”
“Uh, so you have to take care of your friends…”
While Lee Han, overwhelmed by Ratford’s force, was lying, Eandurde who was next to him stared at Lee Han.
Only then did Lee Han realize that one person had been left out and quickly shouted.
“really. “Here’s a reliable junior from Black Turtle Tower!”
Eandurde nodded with pride at Lee Han’s praise. Neilia and Ratford praised their outstanding junior.
“I’m glad I have a dependable junior like you.”
“you’re right. “I’m very excited.”
“What are your expectations…”
Gaynando grumbled so that Eandurde could not hear.
I still felt like my wrist was sore from being bitten by my junior.
“really. Wardanaz. “Aren’t there any more people coming?”
“The only ones who sent letters saying they were coming are priests Dergyu and Siana, but I don’t know when they will arrive. Won’t it come soon?”
“I’m here.”
With the sound of the door opening, the penguin came in with a tired face.
The students, who expected other friends to come, stood up and greeted Alcicle.
“hello. Mr. Pengerin.”
“Nice to meet you all.”
Alcicle smoothed his matted feathers and put down the basket of herbs.
Yoner saw this and asked in puzzlement.
“Do you want to make a potion?”
“no. “Wodanaz asked me to.”

“……”
“……”
Yoner looked at Ihan in astonishment.
Are you saying that you have used Alcicle of the Pengerin family as a herbal messenger?
He’s quite a famous wizard among the young, up-and-coming wizards in the empire…
‘How on earth did you ask for this?’
Yoner slightly suspected that his friend had used mind magic.
I wondered if he had lured me into something to eat, but that kind of thing would only work on Gai Nando…
“Here are the sardines. “I fried some while you were away.”
“and! thanks.”
Alcicle casually took the plate, tossed it in his beak, and sat down.
‘You tricked me into getting something to eat!?’
In fact, the reason Rcicle listened to Lee Han’s request was because he was indebted to him too.
You poured so much magic power in the last experiment, so why can’t you run one errand like this?
Besides, I didn’t know what else to ask for in the future…
‘I guess you really like sardines.’
“Arsil left?”
“yes.”
After hearing the story from Lee Han, Alcicle clicked its beak as if it was curious.
It was completely different from when ordinary nobles left.
Normally, a luxurious banquet would have been held followed by various events with musical instruments played, but Arsil left without thinking that someone might be from the Wardanaz family.
“Wardanaz. I suddenly became curious. It seems that neither the head of the family nor the rest of the family have much interest in social circles… How did you participate in social events when you were young?”
Of course, there were guard knights, golems, and demons who swore loyalty in the mansion, but these did not mean they could participate in social events.
In any case, it is impossible to participate in a social event unless members of the family participate together and keep it formal.
“ah. My relatives helped me. “I usually went there and did it.”
“aha. I see.”
Alsicle, who was nodding his head and munching on fried sardines, tilted his head inwardly.
‘uh? Was there a collateral line of the Wardanaz family?’
If it had, it would have been much more famous, but why don’t I remember ever hearing about it?
“really. Pengelin. “I have a question.”
Lee Han took out the sheet music he received from the grave.
I originally planned to decipher it slowly, but Arsil’s words were so meaningful that I became curious.
“This is a sheet of music I found in an ancient tomb behind this territory, but I was wondering if you could read the text.”
“Are ancient tombs so common behind your territory?”
Although Alcicle was embarrassed, he received the sheet music.
It’s been a while since Lee Han asked a question, and I was going to do my best to answer it.
In fact, other than times like this, it was rare for him to prove his abilities in front of the boy from the Wardanaz family.
‘Maybe it’s my mood, but sometimes I feel like I’m a wizard who makes a living based on my looks.’
Alcicle stared intently at the score. However, I couldn’t immediately remember what era the letters were from.
“Umm. Ummmm…”
A long, long moan.
Lee Han, who could not see anything, cautiously opened his mouth.
“It’s okay if you don’t know…”
“Oh, no! It’s a letter I know! a little bit! “Just a little more time!”
“Oh, yes.”
Alcicle stared intently at the parchment.
Ratford, who was watching from the side, opened his mouth without thinking.
“Isn’t this a text from the time of the Jia Kingdom?”
“Go… Go Kingdom! That’s right, a text from the Ga Kingdom era! Whoa, whoa! If I had given it just 1 more minute, no, 30 seconds, I could have thought of it. really!”
Ratford was embarrassed and responded to Alcicle’s desperate excuse.
“Of course I thought so.”
“It’s not a real excuse!”
“Pengerin. Calm down. “This isn’t a game where you guess first.”
“Ugh…!”
Alcicle realized his indecency and sat down again, blushing.
The era of the Provisional Kingdom, which means the era of the fake kingdom, was a nightmare era for imperial historians.
It was an era of discord, when there was no true king and there were only those who pretended to be king.
In the history of the continent, there were more cases of division than integration, but the division was particularly severe during the Ga Kingdom.
In order to save face, Alcicle took out a book of characters from the Ga Kingdom and began to read the score.
“I praise the king’s sacrifice… The king prevented the misfortune that befell the castle walls… It seems to be roughly a hymn or a dirge, but the notes or lyrics under the title are unreadable. “I think it probably belongs to you.”
“!”
Just as the name of a spirit can only be read and called by the person with whom it has made a contract, there are some spells that only a specific person can read and memorize.
When Alcicle could not understand the notes and lyrics of the score no matter how much he read, he recognized the magic in the score like an experienced wizard.
“My brother said this song would help me, why? “There would be no reason for me to go around singing hymns or dirges.”
“Maybe it’s not the lyrics, but the magic of the song.”
Arsicle, who heard in detail what happened in the tomb from Lee Han, keenly guessed Arsil’s intentions.
The reason Arsil recommended this nameless song from an ancient kingdom to Wardanaz was not because of its lyrics or melody.
It was because of the power of that song.
“I heard this song dominated the surrounding area? “That’s greater than you think.”
“!”
In order to dominate their territory, wizards put in more effort than expected.
Just the magician’s workshop or the magic tower, how much magic is engraved in it?
Conversely, it meant that it was difficult to dominate the area.
A vast space where all kinds of forces flow irregularly can be controlled by individual will.
But the wizards of this ancient kingdom succeeded in showing something similar through the songs engraved on their tombs.
Although it is now gone and the magic has been cut off, it was sure to be a great thing.
“I never thought about it that way.”
“so do i. “Because things like music magic weren’t worth studying in the first place.”
“The principal said it would be better to learn the language. What do you think about that?”
“…It’s not some kind of levitation spell, and there’s no way it can be learned that easily.”
Alcicle looked at Lee Han as if he was dumbfounded.
I knew the skeleton principal had no conscience, but he really had no conscience.
Even if I tell you not to learn music magic, you still have to learn speech…
‘Is that what you meant?’
Lee Han was lost in thought.
After listening to Alcicle’s explanation, I felt like I understood why Arsil told me to keep this sheet music carefully.
It was clear that Arsil wanted Lee Han to learn the tricks of controlling the area as a wizard.
Other methods for controlling territory, now known, were much more complex or difficult.
If you compare it to the difficulty of magic, no matter how difficult this score is, it is incomparable.
In contrast, the music magic of this forgotten kingdom provided Lee Han with a clever shortcut that other magic could not provide.
“But Peng’erin, you’re not interested in this magic? From what I’ve heard, it sounds pretty amazing…”
Alcicle answered harshly.
“I’m interested, but just looking at it, the magic consumption is very high.”
“ah.”
“The people of the kingdom probably only allowed it to be played in graves. “It’s right for you, but it’s not right for me.”
Eandurde asked, tilting his head.
“Is this a sword of poor skill?”
“no!”
“no. Eandurde. “Don’t say rude things.”
Lee Han covered his junior’s mouth.
There were a lot of spells to learn now, but even taking that into account, this spell was definitely worth a try.
What was passing through Lee Han’s mind was his own world that the skeleton principal had shown him once.
The ultimate form of magic that goes beyond dominating a territory and changes it into its own rules.
Of course, mastering this musical magic would not allow me to use the original world, but I didn’t know that I could at least take the first step on that long road.
“thank you. Pengelin. Let’s practice hard. “I already received a violin as a gift.”
“okay. Are you going to practice now?”
Alcicle looked at Ihan with expectant eyes.
Even if it was not a magic that he could learn, a wizard was always curious about magic that he did not know.
“no. First, I’m going to gather some herbs. “I don’t have enough money to complete the request.”
“…I will dig up the herbs, so you can practice music magic.”
Alcicle couldn’t stand it anymore and looked down.
