Episode 839
The crazy clone looked at his disciple as if he was pitiful.
Originally, it was not unusual for wizards to include symbols from their own lives when developing magic.
The wizard’s newly created magic leaves a trace longer and more clearly than any bard’s song.
It would be natural for a wizard to include a more meaningful symbol in the trace.
‘I don’t think magic leaves a trace longer or more clearly than a bard’s song.’
I heard that most of the old songs have disappeared, but I thought that might be true of the magic as well.
This very popular song continues to be played even during the current empire…
‘I think the song <Einrogarde is so good> may survive beyond the next thousand years.’
However, instead of pointing out the reality, Lee Han prepared to flatter.
My crazy alter ego was already giving me a pitiful look, so there was no benefit in provoking it any further.
“Aha. That’s it. I didn’t know. It must have been a good tree.”
We have been good friends since the royal family was young.
If it were Gainando, he would have said, ‘How can a tree be a friend?’, but Lee Han understood.
Isn’t it true that sometimes non-living beings are better friends than living beings?
Just as the imperial gold coin was to Lee Han, that dendrobium tree was to his crazy alter ego.
‘surprising. ‘There was a time when Principal Skeleton cared for and loved trees?’
Maybe it was because it was a tree. At least the tree won’t say stupid things.
“Is that tree still left now?”
Lee Han thought that if there were any trees left in Einrogard, he should visit them and show them as the Echo Stone.
No matter how crazy your alter ego is, wouldn’t you feel better when you see your childhood friends?
That’s impossible. A thousand things. The tree was burned.
Lee Han, who had accidentally touched Yeokrin while flattering her, was shocked.
“…sorry.”
Did you burn a thousand things? Don’t make unnecessary apologies.
Fortunately, my crazy alter ego didn’t get angry at me for asking a rude question.
Instead, he stared somewhere in silence, as if suddenly lost in thought.
“Are you okay?”
okay. I was thinking about old times. It’s a strange thing. I don’t usually remember it that much.
It was natural for the other person to find it strange.
Originally, the Skeleton Headmaster himself was a non-living lich, and wasn’t his crazy alter ego a kind of thought form that branched off from there?
It was rare to think about the past because it was a being that moved by laws and principles rather than a living being that moved by desires and a soul residing in blood, flesh, and bones.
‘But it’s not that I don’t understand. I heard that as you get older, you start thinking about the past more.’
I definitely learned magic from dragons. Hmm… I don’t remember the names of the dragons. Do you know a thousand things?
“…I do not know.”
Lee Han responded with astonishment to the unexpected magic teacher of the skull principal.
You don’t even know the names of the dragons? Not one? No matter how barbaric it is.
“It’s hard to see those…dragons these days. I heard that most of the dragons have left.”
Although Lee Han was not a dragon expert, he knew well that dragons were an endangered species in rapid decline.
Unlike in ancient times when there were dozens of them flying around, these days you have to go into the deepest part of the imperial palace to see one.
And if it weren’t for the fact that they were mean and evil wizards, there was a high possibility that they would immediately throw off their bodies and fly away to another dimension.
‘It’s really amazing. I never thought I’d learn magic from dragons.’
I knew that Headmaster Skeleton was an extraordinary archmage since I was young, but I had never thought about the magical monk or teacher.
Since he was such an old and mythical figure, even if he had just fallen from the sky as a skeleton, Lee Han might have thought, ‘That’s true.’
Lee Han suddenly became curious.
What kind of past did the Skeleton Principal have that made him such a twisted monster?
When I thought about it, the crazy alter ego was a witness who knew more about the skeleton principal’s past than anyone else.
He was a skeleton headmaster who could manipulate the past even against the oldest of the Death Knights, but it was impossible against his crazy alter ego.
‘good. ‘Ask carefully.’
If there are any weaknesses in the Skeleton Principal’s past, it will be a small compensation for the hardships he will face this year.
“In Master’s time, was it common to learn magic from dragons?”
It may have sounded crazy, but aren’t original customs different from era to era?
If the current Empire wizards learn from Einrogard, the ancient wizards might have learned from the Dragon’s Den.
Or maybe he learned it while living as food in a dragon’s lair…
No way. Originally, dragons did not pass down magic to mortals.
“Then how did you learn it, Master?”
It’s because my qualifications have been recognized.
“Oh, yes.”
Lee Han, like his crazy alter ego who chirps about how noble and honorable he is when he’s bored, answered in a heartless tone.
‘It seems like the dragons were a bit deceived. ‘I can’t believe you’re teaching magic to someone like that.’
As you can see just by looking at Gainando, Yu’s senior, and Ah’s classmates, just because they were members of the imperial family or royal family, they could not be trusted.
“So did the other royals learn magic?”
A thousand things. I said it was qualifications, not royal blood. What can you do if you are still so stupid and imbecile?
” Yes? Then what are your qualifications?”
You are literally qualified to use magic with honor. Is this difficult?
“No, I understand.”
I didn’t understand at all.
“!”

Lee Han was surprised when his true feelings were revealed.
How did know?
The crazy clone sighed and explained to his frustrated student.
A thousand things. Imagine that you are the prince of a country. Of a small, small kingdom.
“yes.”
The armies of other neighboring countries are powerful. A legion of heavy armored soldiers armed with barding and magic spears, and a troop of battle wizards who trap half their bodies in a magic tower and use their power. What would you do?
‘Is this a story from the Three Kingdoms era?’
Lee Han recalled old stories written in imperial history books.
During the long history of the continent, there were eras that were unrecorded and lost, and there were eras that remained in records.
Among these times, the Three Kingdoms period was one of the most ancient times.
In fact, the Three Kingdoms period did not really have only three kingdoms.
It was written in the book that there were three powerful nations that survived until the end of the era, and that there were numerous small kingdoms of which no records were left.
“Shouldn’t we work hard to learn magic and use that power to strengthen the kingdom’s defenses?”
It was better than having to invade, but it was wrong. That’s why I can’t learn from dragons.
Lee Han shook his head.
I still didn’t understand.
“Then what should I do? Ah. Are you saying I should strike first?”
‘As expected, it’s the skeleton principal.’
When I thought about it, it was a perfect choice for a skeleton principal.
However, the crazy clone looked at Lee Han with even more contempt.
Are you serious?
“…no.”
The royal family said that they would definitely awaken the true meaning of magic and eliminate the bloodshed and scars on the continent. The dragons recognized his qualifications with that oath…
“…!”
Lee Han was truly surprised by the unexpected answer.
Come to think of it, I had already heard it once during Gonadaltes’s Era, but it never occurred to me.
‘no. ‘You knew the answer but couldn’t imagine it?’
This was because it was an answer that did not fit the usual skeleton principal or crazy alter ego.
‘Did you fool the dragons?’
Don’t think you fooled the dragons. Dragons are not fooled. A thousand things.
“How dare I think such reckless thoughts?”
Lee Han, annoyed, quickly changed the topic.
“But, Master. Is such a thing possible no matter how extreme the magic is?”
Right now, I heard that Gonadaltes’ research was ultimately a failure.
And if other attempts had been successful, the continent would not have looked like this now. In particular, Einrogard should have disappeared a long time ago.
That’s unknown.
‘It’s true that it’s difficult.’
Originally, my crazy alter ego would have said that it was absolutely possible, but just saying ‘I don’t know’ was like half-admitting that it was difficult.
This is not a difficult problem that can be solved with magic.
But that’s not important to this story. The royal family swore an oath before the dragons, and the dragons respected the entitlement of that oath. Thanks to you, I was able to learn magic… Even though the kingdom was destroyed…
“Really…yes?”
?
“Didn’t you just say something was destroyed?”
It was said that the kingdom was destroyed. I’ve been thinking about it since last time, but you have a problem with your ears…
“No, I heard it correctly, but I didn’t understand.”
Brain problem…
“Why is the kingdom falling? The dragons
“You’ve learned magic, right?”
Did he say he would learn magic to defend the kingdom, or to eliminate bloodshed and scars from the continent? A thousand things. When are you going to get smarter?
‘I don’t think this is a problem with my intelligence.’
The other person’s story was so absurd, but it wasn’t that Lee Han lacked understanding.
Lee Han organized, trying to remain as calm as possible.
“So, Master, you swore in front of the dragons and learned magic, but you didn’t use it even though the kingdom was destroyed because of it?”
A little bit wrong. When I returned after learning magic, the kingdom had already been destroyed.
The crazy alter ego explained calmly.
To overcome the pain on the continent, he visited the dragons and learned magic, and when he returned, the kingdom had already been destroyed.
While worrying about the hostile country in the east, it was suddenly attacked by a friendly country in the south and was instantly destroyed.
All that remains is the royal palace site, which has become a heap of ashes, and the remains of old trees.
“You didn’t even take revenge?”
I didn’t.
“Why??”
Because revenge will not revive the fallen kingdom!
“……”
Lee Han was even more horrified than when his crazy alter ego was talking shit.
It would be more humane to act evilly like an eccentric wizard and ask someone to teach him magic, but that felt too surreal.
‘no. ‘How could a person do that?’
Lee Han was not a violent person, but I couldn’t imagine what he would do if he came back after learning magic and found his kingdom destroyed and an enemy army standing in front of him.
The royal kingdom also destroyed several kingdoms. The kingdom that destroyed the royal kingdom was soon destroyed. A wizard must make much more constructive choices than clinging to such meaningless chains. A thousand things.
“What is that constructive choice?”
As I said, the goal is to awaken the true meaning of magic and eliminate the bloodshed and scars on the continent. The royal family failed, but a thousand things are possible if you become a great disciple… and a thousand things if you have an even better disciple. We’ll get there someday.
“…Can’t I just learn 10 5 circles?”
In response to the ancient great wizard’s absurd expectations, Lee Han blurted out nonsense without realizing it.
* * *
‘If it doesn’t work, I’ll say no.’
Lee Han grumbled and took a step forward.
The crazy alter ego was extremely angry at Lee Han’s nonsense and scolded him for an hour.
Rather just swear!
“Ah. Professor Garcia.”
“Student Lee Han. Welcome. By the way, what about Lagesa? I heard you are following Student Lee Han around and watching the lectures?”
Professor Garcia tilted his head when Lee Han came alone.
Apparently, there was talk among the professors that an old pirate was following Wardanaz around and watching his lectures.
So of course I knew Lagesa would come and prepared mentally, right?
“…You said something urgent came up.”
“…You didn’t skip my lecture because you thought it wasn’t interesting, right?”
Professor Garcia was deeply hurt by the startled look in his student’s eyes.
