Episode 832
“Oh. Is this a prophecy from a king-level spirit? Interesting.”
This arrogant ball is also interesting.
A prophecy like that is really interesting.
Unaware of Lee Han’s true feelings, Lagesa, Prince of Pride, and Arsil did not say a word.
And for being the last to speak, Arsil had to receive a harsh glare from his younger brother.
“Is that what you said?”
?!
Arsil was startled and waved his hands.
However, Lee Han’s suspicions were already half confirmed.
“Please be honest. When you were talking about me, you said you thought I would become a demon commander, right?”
Arsil has always had a tendency to overestimate his younger brother.
Knowing this well, Lee Han had no doubt that Arsil would have brought up the story about the Demon Commander.
Arsil shook his head in response to his younger brother’s continued suspicions.
Although Arsil had expectations from Lee Han, he did not prescribe ‘what will be’ to beings from other dimensions.
As words have power, he did not want to hastily affect his younger brother’s future.
It’s sad that you doubt us. I’ve never really done that before!
Human-wizard, don’t doubt your flesh and blood. How sad would Butterfly Gongza be?
“What are you doing, meddling in other people’s household affairs?”
!!
Lord Pride was greatly hurt by the cold words of the human wizard.
How can you say such cruel things?
Fortunately, Arsil’s misunderstanding was resolved by King Gwangmok.
-ah. Wait a minute… Looks like Gwain has gone crazy.
“Really. Does that mean the name you just called me was crazy?”
-What did Gwaine just say? Oops. Looks like he fell into mania again and made a prophecy. I apologize if this was a bad prediction.
“……”
How can an apple be so unpleasant?
Lee Han made a confused expression.
King Gwangmok guessed that his guest had heard a rather unpleasant prophecy and added:
-Human wizard. Prophecies do not necessarily come true just because they are heard.
“I guess so, right?”
However, King Gwangmok’s prophecy had a high hit rate.
Quiet. Garisaima.
Arsil thought his younger brother was angry, so he warned Prince Pride to be quiet.
Apparently, he was displeased with the idea of limiting his future in advance with the prophecy that his younger brother was a demon commander.
-Of course, most of it is correct. Gwain’s prophecy is even more so. Anyway, speak quickly before the madness comes back. You came because of the cane?
King Gwangmok hurriedly spoke in a tired voice without even taking a breath.
I planned to end the story as quickly as possible if the mania came again soon and normal conversation with guests would become impossible.
“That’s right. Of course, I know it’s ridiculous to ask someone with whom I have no relationship with you like this, but if you give me a chance to pass the ordeal…”
-If you go north from here, there is a sorrel forest grown by Gwain. Wizards who visited today can find the tree branches they want there and take them with them. I made this promise when I was in my right mind.
Even if you fall into neuromania, it will be maintained. In the area
I swear.
King Gwangmok’s words became faster and faster until he couldn’t even feel a moment’s silence at the end.
Lee Han, who had been concentrating as hard as he could, was taken aback.
“Uh. Can I just take it?”
Lagesa, who was listening intently next to her, was also taken aback.
“Uh, you can just take it. Don’t young wizards have bad habits? I think they need a proper trial, don’t you think?”
Contrary to their good and just impression, spirits were not beings who gave gifts for no reason.
As can be seen just by looking at the old stories of the empire, making a contract with a spirit itself is possible only after passing a kind of test and ordeal.
The same applies to contracts with spirits, as well as any gifts or requests for power. The spirits were all beings from different dimensions and had their own greed.
The reason a spirit makes a contract with a wizard is so that the spirit itself can borrow the wizard’s power.
The reason the spirit gives the wizard a trial and makes him overcome it is for the spirit himself to check the wizard’s capabilities.
However, this king of Gwangmok did not ask for any trials, contracts, or negotiations, but rather simply told the people to go to the nearby forest and take the branches they wanted.
From Lee Han’s perspective, it was an embarrassing sound. It was the same from Lagesa’s perspective.
-Gwaine is very maniacal, so there is little need for a contractor. There are many cases of forgetting it anyway, so what’s the point?
“But is it okay to give a valuable treasure to a wizard without at least verifying it? Wouldn’t there be a need to at least verify his qualifications?”
“Lagessa…”
Lee Han called it absurd, but Lagesa ignored it.
King Gwangmok answered again.
-Gwain is so maniacal that it is a treasure and property and has little meaning anyway.
“Maybe we might have to entertain outsiders later?”
-Outsiders don’t come often, so there’s no need to prepare to entertain them. While you’re at it, make sure you take what you want. I don’t know when I can visit again.
“……”
“……”
Suddenly, the audience became solemn.
Lee Han felt sorry because he felt like he was visiting a difficult and painful spirit and tearing up the gift for no reason.
The White Tiger Tower students, whose skin had become thicker as they entered their second year, also whispered that it was a bit like that.

“Is… is this really okay?”
“It’s pitiful…”
-The Forest of Gwain is a thriving place anyway, so there is no need for wizards to worry. It’s okay, so call all your friends and bring it with you.
The King of Spirits looked tired and tired, but he had the generous dignity of a king.
When the young human wizards hesitated, I convinced them that it was not necessary.
“Are you sure you can do that?”
In response to Angago’s question, King Gwangmok nodded and paused for a moment.
-Why are you in prison after taking so many tree branches?
“yes?”
-It looks like Gwain went crazy for a moment again. My headache is getting worse.
“……”
“……”
The friends stared at Anrago.
Angago shouted urgently.
“Oh, no! Even if I were to be imprisoned, the charges would be serious enough to allow me to escape!”
-Ugh.
Arsil, who was worse off, stepped forward.
Let me take the car.
Can you get a drink too?
In response to Prince Pride’s charming request, Arsil seemed to understand and made two cups of tea.
King Gwangmok sipped his tea, endured the pounding headache, and spoke again.
-For a maniac, a customer is a very short and precious relationship. It is a precious relationship that is difficult to know when we will meet in the past, present, or future. So you human wizards, take what you will. You may never meet your partner again in your lifetime.
The wizards were deeply moved by the Spirit King’s kind and generous words. It even touched Lagesa’s heartstrings.
Lee Han, who heard the prophecy that was almost like an evil joke earlier, was also heartbroken.
Even though they are the same king, why is there such a difference with Perkuntra?
One side feels sorry for not being able to give more to the wizards out of a non-possessive mind, but the other side is like this…
“Spirit King…”
“From now on, every time I use my wand, I will think of His Majesty the King of Gwangmok!”
-I would not recommend it as it may lead to mania. Then go!
King Gwangmok issued an order to congratulate the guests. I felt resolute that I would not accept any further conversation.
Arsil and Garisaima also stood up to send the students out for the sake of their friend.
Ah, I almost forgot!
Gyo Man-gong, who was sending out the students, clapped his hands and called Lee Han.
Lee Han, who was about to go out with his friends, looked puzzled and turned around.
Separately from King Gwangmok’s work, shouldn’t the human wizard try again, because this Garisaima likes revenge?
“……”
Perkuntra was not a spirit good at prophecy, but he knew how to predict correctly.
Lee Han was very embarrassed when he found himself in a situation where he had his nose pierced by the Duke of Pride. Moreover, unlike last time, the other party has even figured out your personal details.
“I have urgent business to attend to, so I’ll come back later…”
Yes, yes, let me leave a pattern and I will send a messenger later.
“……”
It was certainly not easy to deceive once he reached the rank of Archduke.
While Lee Han was desperately trying to figure out what to do, Gyomangong’s expression changed.
Wow!
thud!
Lord Pride bowed to his knees. Lee Han and his friends were shocked because they did not know why the demon archduke was doing this.
“Why are you doing that?”
I-Butterfly Confucius-poisoned the car!
Lord Pride looked at Arsil with eyes full of betrayal.
I thought you were a pacifist unlike other mortals, but I never thought you would do something like this!
Arsil ignored it and quickly pushed his younger brother’s back. It meant getting out while Gyo Man-gong was paralyzed.
‘…older brother!’
Lee Han looked at Arsil with emotion.
I never thought I would protect my younger brother, who had made such a ridiculous suspicion earlier, like this.
After all, there was only family.
“let’s go!”
Human-Wizard-wait for the next promise!
Ignoring the voice of Gyo Man-gong, who was deciphering and calling desperately, Lee Han hurried out with his friends.
* * *
The students walked quietly on the clouds.
So much had just happened in the mansion that I needed time to take it in.
“…This is incredible luck.”
“Yeah, right!”
The friends decided to overlook the last poisoning attempt and Angago’s prophecy of imprisonment, and only look at the positive aspects of the incident.
Lagesa seriously agreed.
“You kids have had great luck. It’s not easy to meet a relationship like this.”
“Is that so too??”
The students all looked excited at the thought of receiving tree branches from the sacred tree forest.
‘Something is strange.’
Lee Han felt puzzled when Lagesa did not get grumpy.
Earlier, King Gwangmok just gave it to him without giving him a hard time, so why is he so calm?
While Lee Han was suspicious, Lagesa spoke first.
“I called all my friends and told them to take it, so I guess I can just call the other kids and have them take it too.”
“…Gasp. Master Lagesa!”
“?”
When Lee Han shouted with an expression of realization, Lagesa flinched.
Do you really think this kid has already noticed?
“Is it possible to sell my friend’s rights for money? Even to seniors or outside magicians…
“……”
Lagesa felt ashamed of herself for having just flinched.
I can’t believe you’re nervous about saying something like this.
“Are you saying that now?”
“You could ask out of academic curiosity, well…”
‘Isn’t this kid really from a pirate family?’
Lee Han was about to ask what the limits of contracts and oaths were, but quickly backed away.
As expected, selling it for a friend fee seemed impossible.
“Don’t think about unnecessary things and try to finish it quickly before the rift closes. Once King Gwangmok’s madness begins in earnest, you won’t be able to come in.”
“There it is!”
The White Tiger Tower student who was running at the front spotted a forest in the distance and shouted.
Unlike other forests that were located in the sky of the realm and could not be reached, there was a forest that was uniquely located above the clouds.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-tak!
The White Tiger Tower student advanced resiliently by borrowing the power of reinforcement magic.
Then he grabbed the branch of the nearest tree and broke it.
Shoo!
“?”
The student looked at his empty hands with a dumb expression.
I clearly grabbed the branch and broke it, but nothing came out. Looking ahead, the tree branches were fine.
Once again…
Shoo!
“……”
Only then did the student realize that the tree in front of him was a mirage. Lagesa burst out laughing.
“Kihihihihi! Did you know that it would be so easy to find and take a branch from the Spirit King’s Forest, no matter how difficult it is?”
When I think about it, Lagesa calmly accepted it because he expected hardships even without trials.
Other White Tiger Tower students cursed, but Lagesa ignored them and laughed.
Lee Han asked, suppressing the urge to push him out of the clouds.
“Lagessa. Then how should I take it?”
“You have to wander around until you get chosen.”
Without realizing it, Lee Han checked the size of Shinmoklim again. It was clear that there was no end in sight.
