Episode 872
After persuading the wizard, King Yasha proceeded to explain astronomy again.
It is not unreasonable to say that making a contract with a star is more difficult than making a contract with a spirit or a devil. Spirits and demons are friendly to contracts, but…
‘Is that so?’
Lee Han made a shocked expression.
But generally speaking, it was correct.
Spirits and demons were generally friendly to contracts. They are born to gain power by resonating with or tricking beings from other dimensions.
In comparison, the stars were neutral.
To be more precise, stars were not beings with will like spirits or demons.
A being close to the law, like divine magic. That was the star.
…Because stars require wizards to find out the rules themselves and prove their qualifications. But Ohsu’s disciple. I can assure you that proving qualifications for this dimension is much more difficult than proving qualifications for the stars.
“indeed.”
Lee Han tried to explain again how he got here, but held back because he didn’t think the other person would listen.
Anyway, King Yasha’s explanation was similar to what I had heard several times before, so it was easy to understand.
Rather than talking, persuading, trading, or threatening, the system grants power by exploring and recognizing stars and then proving qualifications according to the rules.
Even a certain headmaster and a certain headmaster who disliked sacred magic were surprisingly friendly towards celestial magic.
In a way, it was natural as it was carried out according to laws and rules, not beliefs and emotions.
‘Maybe they don’t like sacred magic because they can’t use it.’
Just as Lee Han wanted to disparage spirit magic, these two archmages were also capable of doing so.
Ohsu’s disciple. Are there any star contracts you know of?
“I once read about a wizard who made a contract with the Bloody Old Moon.”
Lee Han explained the contract cases he knew about.
It was a contract discovered by a wolf beast wizard, and when the moon turned into a red old moon, you had to go to the area with the strongest moonlight, float the moon on a sterling silver cup, and then drink it.
It may seem easy at first glance, but when it comes to magic, even the simplest process can turn into the most difficult.
If the moon was poured into a sterling silver cup under a red old moon, the water became a deadly poison that even a decent wizard could not withstand.
Hmm. It’s a contract that isn’t that difficult. Even if you borrow this star power, it will be difficult to get high grades.
“Is that so?”
Ohsu’s disciple. It’s been so long that I can’t even remember…
“……”
King Yasha once again exuded his authority and persuaded Lee Han.
Lee Han grumbled inwardly.
‘I know it’s great, but does it have to be like this every time I say a word?’
It’s okay to be confident. You will be able to make a contract with a more powerful star.
“thank you. “Actually, I’m a little worried, perhaps because I had such a hard time making a contract with the spirits.”
Spirits? That’s unusual. Even though I have accumulated this much good karma, the spirits reject me… Haven’t I only encountered strange spirits?
‘He might actually be a good person.’
* * *
Although the content was quite extensive and difficult for an impromptu lecture, King Yasha was an excellent teacher and Lee Han was also an outstanding student.
The contract with the stars consists of numerous laws, rules, conditions, and proofs. You won’t be able to memorize every case, but it’s good to remember some general rules. First, the law of preemption.
Lee Han had also heard of this.
Surprisingly, some of the star contracts were on a first-come, first-served basis, so if someone else discovered and signed a contract first, there were cases where the next person would not be able to sign even if they met the conditions as well.
There is also a law of luminosity.
“The law that the stronger the light emitted, the stronger the power of the contract generally becomes. Is that correct?”
Yes. Conditions also become more difficult… Of course, there are exceptions. We need to talk about the dark element, but we probably won’t cover the dark element, right?
“I know how to use that dark element.”
oh. Now I feel a little like Oh Soo’s disciple. okay. Then the story of the dark element…
‘Oops.’
Lee Han quickly regretted his explanation as it suddenly got sidetracked and became too long.
After talking about dark elements and celestial bodies for about an hour, the Yasha King finally returned to the main topic.
…The method I would most recommend to you is to use the <Star Guide> to find a new star, or to find a star that has been relatively neglected. It is said that wizards who are talented in celestial magic can feel the right stars with their senses.
“…Can’t the stars floating above make a contract?”
Knowing full well how difficult it is to find new stars, Lee Han pointed to the stars circling above the dimension.
King Yasha spoke as if he knew that would happen.
As expected, you are finally showing your greed? I thought so. But those stars are like tyrants, and just one mistake can destroy their existence. That’s why I didn’t recommend it, but since you’re Ohsu’s disciple, you’re probably going to try to secretly sign a contract, even if it means tricking my eyes, right?
“I won’t do it. Shall we bring out <Starbringer>?”
Hmm. Is this denial to avoid my suspicions?
“I took out <Starbringer>. “Please look here.”
Lee Han took out a huge brass telescope from his backpack and quickly mounted it. The Yasha King stood next to him and gave instructions one by one on how to use the artifact.
Then, the night sky of the original dimension, not the current dimension, came into the lens, and Lee Han’s consciousness was transferred to another place.
When Lee Han came to his senses, he was floating in a dark space with stars blinking in the distance.
“!”
Having already visited this dimension, it was almost like my soul had moved, so to change my perspective there again like this?
-How is this possible?
It is a very well-made artifact. Performance was improved by transferring the wizard’s consciousness to the field of view observed by the artifact. The wizard who came up with this idea can be said to be creative, and the wizard who brought it to life is delicate.
-It’s definitely creative.
Hmm. Since you didn’t say anything afterwards, I can sense your hatred towards the wizard who made this concrete.
-……
King Yasha was certainly a wise and wise king.

Aside from recognizing Lee Han’s hatred for Professor Verdus, it was rare among wizards to find someone who could explain in detail an artifact created by someone else as if it were his own creation.
Not only the innate wisdom, but also the power of knowledge built up over many years of listening to the stories of strangers in this dimension.
That power was in the Yasha King.
-Please give me the next instructions.
Of course, to Lee Han, King Yasha was just a strange Yasha who only said what he wanted to say.
Although he had excellent magical abilities, isn’t that the same for Professor Verdus? His respect was originally independent of his magical abilities.
Keep moving forward. Can you see the asteroid group? It’s better not to touch that area. Twelve hundred years ago, there was a wizard who wanted to make a contract with an asteroid group. He was a really good wizard, but it’s a shame.
-……
Lee Han, who was horrified, quickly looked away from the direction where the asteroids were gathered.
-What about that red tyrant star? It’s a pretty famous star.
When a star that was famous among wizards was visible, Lee Han asked a question.
Because of the words of the Yaksha King just now, the desire to go further disappeared.
If you’re going to make a contract with a star that easy, why would you use an artifact like this to make a contract with the moon?
-…I know it’s quite difficult…
Let’s go further quickly.
Lee Han grumbled inwardly and stretched out further.
After shooting my consciousness into the sky, the deeper I went, the more strange and dangerous the celestial space became.
When they were near the continent, they were purely beings that brightened and decorated the sky. When it moves away from the continent, it reveals its true colors by emitting strange magical powers.
Can you see the dark shadow in the distance?
-yes.
It’s a dark nebula. Just looking at it can devour the wizard’s soul, so be careful.
-…No… Don’t you have to tell me that first?
With your abilities, your soul won’t be absorbed by that dark nebula.
‘Should I just go back?’
After turning off the artifact, Lee Han was tempted to find the easiest contract with the moon.
Even if it’s a contract that increases concentration slightly when exposed to moonlight, what’s the deal? That alone felt great enough.
Without knowing Lee Han’s true feelings, King Yasha guided the star to the star.
Clearly, the Yaksha King was a skilled star guide. He warned Lee Han of some danger before he even realized it.
for a moment. Gaze at that star.
-Is it a star of soul absorption?
Ohsu’s disciple. You don’t seem to have much talent for telling jokes. Take a quick look
-yes…
Lee Han did as he was told and stared at the stars.
Blue to green, green to blue. It was a star that gave a refreshing and peaceful feeling.
-!
Lee Han was surprised by the feeling of rejection he felt at that moment.
-I just felt something like rejection.
Hmm. is it. What I just saw was one of the spirit stars. Wizards with elemental talent often respond to that star, so I tried it…
-……
After turning off the artifact, Lee Han felt the urge to swing it at the Yasha King himself.
I guess I’ll have to avoid the spirit castles from now on.
-I still don’t have any friendly spirits.
Are those spirits fearless or violent?
-!
I guess that’s right. This can be happen. Even if they are spirits, they are not all the same.
King Yasha was damn wise. Lee Han had to swallow his sense of defeat and move again.
Even if you don’t feel it, write it down. If all the stars reject it, we have to try various things depending on the records.
-I think you said stars are neutral…
This rejection is not the same as the spirits’ rejection. Ohsu’s disciple. Are you angry because of the spirit’s rejection? That wasn’t rejection, it was just that the conditions weren’t right. In the future, if you want, I will tell you that the conditions are not right.
-…Let’s just say it’s a rejection.
Lee Han suddenly missed Einrogard.
This dimension where so many wizards perished was too harsh.
Find and record stars.
Find and record stars.
After being rejected by the spirit star, I searched for stars again and recorded them…
By the time I was so tired that I couldn’t tell if this star was that star or that star was this star.
A huge wave of light filled Lee Han’s vision. For a moment, Lee Han thought there was something wrong with the artifact.
-…What is it!?
Arna! Is that so!
The Yasha King’s voice sounded as if he was impressed.
Lee Han, who had not yet fully grasped the situation, asked in confusion.
-What does that mean?
This is the name of Gaekseong (客星) that Oh Soo had a contract with in the past. He thought that the probability of choosing a disciple was as high as that of choosing a teacher.
The guest star Arna gave off the most brilliant blazing light of any star I had ever seen, and then faded out again.
After regaining his sight, Lee Han felt a strong attraction from the stars, which was completely opposite to the repulsion he had felt from the spirit stars.
It is a powerful star. It’s tricky in many ways, but it’s worth enduring. You can come back now. I will explain how the contract works.
-…Wait. If you had this star in mind from the beginning, why did you make me check every single place?
If I had introduced that star from the beginning, wouldn’t I have been taking away the opportunity to learn from other stars? Come out quickly.
“……”
Lee Han seriously suspected that the skeleton principal had hired and placed Yacha King as a guest professor.
How can the King of the Outer Dimension be this much like Professor Einrogard??
