Episode 770
‘Let’s think about it again later.’
After wrapping the black book and sealing it under the bag (the black book was vibrating as if this was of no use), Lee Han walked towards the Heukam Pavilion.
Senior Ogoldos, whom I had not seen in a long time, saw Lee Han and waved happily.
“Wardanaz. nice to meet.”
“Long time no see. Seniors. “You look tired. What happened?”
“It’s nothing special. “I was thinking about black magic items that would sell well.”
“!”
Ogoldos had bags under his eyes, as if he had been worrying all night.
Ogoldos, who was wondering whether to say this or not, finally opened his mouth.
“Wardanaz. “I respect your heart…”
“?”
“Black magic just doesn’t make money. “Don’t overexert yourself.”
“……”
Lee Han was taken aback by the sight of his senior cheering him on fiercely from the beginning.
“Isn’t it something you have to try to know?”
“Sometimes there are things you can know without even trying. “The direction the sun rises, the principal’s evilness… I think black magic will continue to be the same.”
After speaking, Ogoldos entered the Dark House. When seen from behind, his drooping shoulders looked unusually narrow and small.
“Cough. Wardanaz County.”
This time Professor Mortum walked. Lee Han bowed his head politely.
“hello. professor. “Thank you for doing me a favor.”
“Please…”
Professor Mortum was lost in thought.
The student in front of me petitioned to gather not only his seniors from the black magic school but also the professor to think about magic.
Professor Mortum tried to refuse because he was tired and bothered, but his student did not stop persuading him.
-If the professor keeps refusing, I will send a letter to the principal!
-…!
“Kolok, can you say that as a favor?”
“yes?”
“no. nothing.”
It wasn’t until Direth was in his fourth year that he started threatening Professor Mortum, but the boy from the Wardanaz family was only in his second year and was already learning how to threaten the professor.
Professor Mortum suddenly felt a shiver run down his spine.
I didn’t even know that I was raising a dragon’s baby.
“really. Collock. Wardanaz County.”
“yes. professor.”
“I respect your feelings, but black magic just doesn’t make money. “Don’t overexert yourself.”
“……”
Lee Han was dumbfounded at the sight of Professor Mortum turning around and entering the Dark Hall.
From the beginning, something like this…!
* * *
In fact, it is not that the Einrogard school of black magic did not make attempts to gain financial leeway.
Flesh Golem
-Attempted to sell Einroguard at a price 30% cheaper than the existing golem.
– Initially, five units were sold, but since then, there have been continuous complaints about the bad smell and ugly appearance.
-Eventually discarded due to lack of sales.
skeleton army
-Made a contract with the undead and ordered them to help the buyers.
-Unlike warlocks who are less repulsed by the undead, regular wizards feel repulsed by the undead and begin to rebel.
-Pay compensation and dispose of.
Ahrak’s Poison Series
-Attempt to produce and sell Ahrak’s deadly poison, which has a variety of powerful effects.
-It was the most successful, but buyers were dissatisfied with the excessively high price.
-Eventually discarded due to lack of sales…
Most attempts at black magic failed because they were ugly and smelly, so they didn’t sell, or because they were too expensive.
Agdung took out the content he had worked hard to prepare and presented it.
“I think that more powerful, high-level dark magic will be a viable avenue for sales. Unlike outside, students at Einrogard can implement most things on their own. “We need to sell more powerful and rare magic.”
“oh…”
“What I studied was ‘Ahrak’s Ultramarine Blue Poison.’ This poison is bound to be popular among wizards. Think of the power!”
The students looked intrigued by the words of the senior from Kalarogad.
As a wizard who gained a reputation for poison among the warlocks of the past empire, Ahrak’s Deadly Poison series was also popular among Einroguard students.
What if you make and sell <Ahrak’s Ultramarine Blue Poison>, which is a must-have when talking about the most powerful poison?
“I’m sure I couldn’t make the ultramarine blue poison last time, perhaps due to a lack of ingredients, so it might be different when I make it.”
“This might be popular…”
“Cough. “You’re wrong.”
Professor Mortum interjected.
Agdung looked slightly embarrassed at those words and asked back.
“Wrong?”
“It’s just not recorded, but at that time, they also tried to make and sell ultramarine blue poison. Collock. “There were so many materials involved that we had to find a buyer first.”

“Did you? “How many people showed up?”
“0 people.”
“…How many people?”
“Cough. 0 people. You are mistaken. You fools! No matter how good the poison’s performance is, only warlocks are impressed… Other students don’t buy it because it’s expensive.”
Students of the Black Magic School thought that if they made a better poison, other students would notice, but in fact, the average student did not know how great the difference was between this poison and that poison.
You can buy it once out of curiosity, but that also disappears when the price goes up.
“Why isn’t it written down?!”
“Cough. “I didn’t write that down because I was embarrassed.”
“It was a long time ago, so things might be a little different now…”
Agdung, who said that, seemed unsure, so his voice trembled.
“it’s okay. Seniors. “Those who don’t know good poison are bad!”
“that’s right. They sell ultramarine blue poison at this price, you bastards! “I didn’t even know how grateful I was!”
The students of the Black Magic School complained and cheered for Agdung.
Agdung was moved and moved to tears by the support he received from juniors at other magic schools.
“Thank you, everyone. Actually, I… <Cloak of Contamination> is also selling, so I thought that Einroguard students are all well aware of the greatness of black magic, even if they are not from the black magic school.”
“It was sold!?”
Professor Mortum coughed and then exclaimed in surprise.
You’re selling <Contaminant Cloak>.
That was more surprising than finding a black magic item that would sell well.
“Kollock, how on earth!?”
“Lee Han sold it. professor.”
“Gainando-kun. Collock. “You can’t say you sold a threat…”
“……”
Lee Han looked at Professor Mortum as if he were dumbfounded and said.
“I didn’t threaten, I sold it properly.”
“really? how?”
“There was a lot of contamination on the 7th floor…”
Lee Han explained the situation simply.
Of course, excluding the story that a bunch of pollutants came by chance.
After listening to the entire explanation, Professor Mortum was impressed.
“Cough, indeed! Did you take advantage of the situation? But it’s a little strange. They could use magic, so why… were there so many pollutants?”
“…That’s right. “It’s fascinating.”
“Anyway, good job. Wardanaz County.”
Professor Mortum praised him with sincerity. I wondered if they had forced me to buy it by threatening them, but if they had that level of wit, they deserved praise.
Perhaps this young genius might come up with a truly ingenious method.
“Cough. So… what have you prepared?”
“hmm. “What I was thinking about was an armor item.”
Lee Han took out a new magic he had learned from the black book.
3rd circle magic, <Gonadaltes’ Black Magic Cloak>.
Although it was black magic, it was a magic that contained quite a few enchantment properties and was an artifact-making magic.
The completed effect is to defend and protect against magical elements of the black magic school, such as undead, poison, and curses.
‘This is a really stable and useful artifact.’
Lee Han suspected that the black book was trying to assassinate him, but he had no choice but to acknowledge the usefulness of this magic.
When wandering around Einrogard, you encountered more undead, curses, and poison than you thought.
A cloak that can provide reliable defense against such elements…
…even students who were not particularly interested in black magic were likely to be interested.
“Cough. Is this the end?”
“Wardanaz. “This seems so… boring.”
Not only Professor Mortum, but also Agdung and Ogoldos looked at Ihan with slightly embarrassed eyes.
This was so boring!
“yes? “This is it.”
“Aren’t you so bored? “Will students want to buy this?”
“Artifacts don’t have to be fun, right? I think this kind of decent and stable artifact will sell well…”
Lee Han, an avid reader of the Imperial Newspaper Economy, had his own confidence, but began to be a little shaken by the lukewarm response of his black magic seniors.
Is there something you didn’t notice?
“i get it!”
Ogoldos shouted as if he understood.
“Wardanaz wants to spread poison throughout the school before selling this cloak. “That’s all there is to it!”
“indeed. Collock. “With curses and undead?”
Only then did Professor Mortum look a little persuaded. Lee Han answered firmly.
“I didn’t think like that.”
“Cough. “You didn’t??”
“Wardanaz. “Then this might be a bit dangerous…”
‘Is it that dangerous??’
While Lee Han was worried, Agdung came to his aid.
“for a moment. professor. Trial and error is a wizard’s right, right? “You can’t stop me like this before I even try.”
“Cough. That’s right. “This is a reagent that Wardanaz brought, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to do whatever you want, Wardanaz.”
Professor Mortum also agreed to some extent with Agdung.
There was no reason to stop him when he said he would do it with his own things. Wizards were meant to learn by making mistakes.
“Cough. “Then, shall we go to the workshop and see Wardanaz-kun working?”
Ogoldos spoke to Lee Han privately.
“Wardanaz. Don’t be too disappointed if it doesn’t sell. “I also didn’t sell any of the <The Cursed Bone of Al Azif> that I made before.”
‘I think it’s obvious that it won’t sell.’
* * *
“……”
“……”
Lee Han, who started selling the first batch at the 7th floor market, made a decision.
I will never again receive financial advice from wizards of the dark arts school!
“Why is this all sold out??”
“Why such an ordinary thing??”
‘I feel pathetic for being shaken.’
Lee Han looked with disdain at the shocked seniors next to him.
They think it won’t sell just because it’s good by their standards.
Surprisingly, the <Dark Magic Cloak of Gonadaltes> (sold as <Dark Magic School Defense Cloak>) sold in the market area on the 7th floor sold out quickly.
“The power of defensive magic won’t be that strong, right? “At this level, we won’t be able to stop the high-ranking undead when they come out.”
“It’s the same with poison. “There is a limit to preventing poison with this…”
“Seniors.”
Lee Han opened his mouth earnestly, intending to retaliate against the negative opinions he had heard earlier.
“I may have less magic skills than my seniors, but…”
“?”
Agudung was puzzled, but he waited without interrupting his junior.
“We know more about what will sell and what won’t sell. “It’s not black magic that only seniors know is great, but items that can be used with moderate ease are selling well.”
“That… that…”
“Such an ordinary item…”
Agdung and Ogoldos looked shocked at Lee Han’s words.
Are such ordinary items selling better than stronger golems, stronger curses, or stronger poisons?
It was really hard to believe, but looking at the reality in front of me now, it might be true…
At that time, students from the lower floor began to urgently deliver the news.
-A toxic swamp broke out on the 6th floor!!
-Toxic swamp on the 6th floor! Toxic swamp on the 6th floor! Never just go in!
“ah.”
“also…”
“…What is ‘aha’ and what is ‘as expected’?”
Lee Han glared at his seniors.
