Episode 962
“…I will refer to it next time I have the opportunity.”
“okay. “Remember, you will do this many more times in the future.”
‘I was joking.’
Lee Han was dumbfounded and stared at the large back of his senior’s head.
Where else can something like this happen?
It seemed like this would be the first and last time I was promised a donation just for telling a story.
“Anyway, senior. To what extent has this been sufficient?”
“Puhuhuh. Wardanaz. There is no set amount. In fact, you didn’t have to do this.”
“That’s true, but…”
They say that if the amount is insufficient, you can proceed as needed, but isn’t that why you come forward and do this first because you don’t like it?
“Don’t feel pressured and just do as much as you can. And Wardanaz, you have already done several times better than expected. “It must be difficult because of other club work.”
Lee Han was unable to say how he ended up helping Professor Garcia while avoiding his pursuit. He gave credit instead.
“If you think about how difficult it is, you are more like it. “You’re even in fourth grade now.”
“Whahaha. Wardanaz. Don’t be too swayed by other seniors. “Those who didn’t study in advance are the ones whining, but if you prepare on a regular basis, fourth grade shouldn’t be particularly difficult.”
“……”
Lee Han felt two emotions upon seeing Falkrius smiling and speaking.
One was the feeling, ‘If my senior wasn’t that big, I would have gotten a few hits.’
And the other one was deja vu.
Why do Falkrius’ words feel familiar?
‘I just can’t figure out why.’
Because there were no mirrors around, Lee Han ended up not recognizing the identity of the déjà vu.
“And I have received grace.”
“Are you saying you received grace?”
“It’s an old story. “It’s a story about the Great Southern Spirit Famine.”
Falkrius said, patting his fat stomach.
“Phew. Wardanaz. “It’s like this now, but when I was young I couldn’t even eat a bowl of porridge, so I was skinny.”
Farming basically involves farmers fighting against an uncertain climate, but unfortunately, farmers on the continent had one more enemy.
They were magical beings that grew by feeding on the continent’s abundant magical power.
For wizards, spirits were convenient beings that they could negotiate with and sometimes obey, but for most people in the empire, spirits were fearful and unpredictable beings.
And when those fearful and unpredictable beings experienced coincidence and inevitability and came together in a huge storm, a natural disaster came to the empire.
The Great Southern Spirit Famine was a famine so large in scale that even Lee Han had heard of it.
I heard that the once prosperous and gentle granary area was devastated and many of the local people moved to other places…
“It was the priests of the Flemain Church who helped me when I was wandering alone. At that time, I swore to myself. “I will give the grace I received to others.”
“Seniors…”
“And I swore I would never go hungry again, but that was broken when I entered Einrogard. Hahaha.”
“…Seniors.”
Lee Han felt the emotion he just felt disappear.
“Phew. Wardanaz. You don’t have to worry about my oath. Because my oath is for me. All you have to worry about is the oath for you. “I will dedicate my life to the development of imperial magic…”
“I’ve never sworn like that before?!”
“uh? “Didn’t the Wardanaz family all swear like that?”
Falkrius was embarrassed.
There are so many rumors related to the Wardanaj family that I still find them wrong.
“Well, it’s probably roughly similar.”
“There is nothing remotely similar.”
Despite his junior’s protest, Falkrius paid no attention and continued his steps.
The destination this time was the house of a peddler belonging to the Western Empire United Chamber of Commerce.
Thump thump thump-
“Jong Seo-non is a person who imports a lot of wheat, and he decided to donate this time too. “Thanks to you, junior, I have some time left, so I’ll have to move it in advance.”
“indeed.”
“I guess I’ll have to rent a cart and a carriage…”
“I’ll just take it.”
“hmm? “You won’t be able to handle it?”
“What’s left is enough to use magic.”
“Phew. Wardanaaz you tell crazy jokes sometimes.”
“?!”
The person who appeared in front of the two people who were waiting after knocking on the door was a pale-faced peddler.
Falkrius asked in surprise.
“What’s going on?”
“I… I’m sorry. Priest Falkrius. “We are no longer able to provide the promised wheat.”
“That’s okay. “Is there something wrong with you?”
“that is…”
* * *
“What a f*cking bastard!”
Falkrius huffed and walked away. For a priest who always smiled, he seemed angry, which was unusual.
Lee Han’s face also hardened. The peddler’s appeal also made Lee Han angry.
The person who took the bag of wheat secured by Jong Seo-non was Bardan, an urban noble of Granden City.
Bardan, a collateral noble of the powerful Greenbell family, had lost his reputation due to a recent attack by an evil wizard.

In order to save his face, he decided to hold a large banquet, but during the preparation process, a peddler suffered damage.
Basically, a banquet is something that nobles can enjoy, but lower-ranking people have to put a lot of effort into preparing it.
Even if a large amount of property was lost due to an attack by an evil wizard, the banquet had to be held on the same scale.
Servants under Vardan visited Jongseonun and threatened him in order to buy ingredients at low prices.
As long as he worked in Grandeur City, he could not help but pay attention to Vardan, so in the end, Jongseonun had no choice but to hand over the wheat he had set aside for donation.
“Wardanaz. “You have work to do.”
“Should we put on invisibility and open the door? Or shall we climb over the wall?”
“…no. “If I get excited, I ask you to stop me…”
Falkrius, who was worried that he might get excited and cause an accident, wondered if he had brought the wrong junior.
Although this junior of the Wardanaz family was excellent at causing accidents, he seemed weak at stopping them.
“Do I mean you, senior?”
“okay. Believe.”
‘Is it possible?’
Lee Han wondered if he should use magic behind Falkrius’ back when he got excited.
“really. Seniors. This alley is blocked, so you have to go back. “Last time, Vardan’s mansion collapsed and the alleyway was blocked.”
“Wardanaz, how do you know that?”
Falkrius looked curious as he tilted his head. Lee Han managed his expression and answered.
“I left first because of another club. Then I heard a rumor. “I heard that some crazy wizard attacked Vardan’s mansion.”
“ah. Stedal of the Nago family? “I heard it too.”
“……”
Lee Han closed his eyes tightly at the speed of the rumor.
“Puh, you’re probably not the principal’s student, are you?”
“yes????”
“Why are you so surprised? “It turns out that wizards who sometimes cause big trouble turn out to be the principal’s students.”
“aha.”
Lee Han sighed deeply.
I thought Falkrius was suspicious of Lee Han.
“The crazy one is Bardan, who forcibly took the donated wheat for his own extravagance. Wizards like Stedal aren’t crazy. Wodanaz.”
Lee Han felt embarrassed by his senior’s praise. Falkrius, who was walking ahead, did not notice.
“hmm. Still, he is a dangerous wizard.”
“yes? Why suddenly?”
In response to Lee Han’s question, Falkrius stretched out his finger.
Vardan’s mansion still had not escaped the scars left by the runaway water spirit.
Even though wizards and craftsmen from the stonemason guild were called in, broken places were visible everywhere, so I could guess how rampant the attack was.
“Look at that. “They destroyed it very meticulously.”
“…Isn’t it possible that a wizard named Stedal just visited the mansion peacefully, but the spirit guarding the mansion accidentally went berserk?”
“Whahaha. Wardanaz. “Why on earth are you telling such a ridiculous joke?”
‘Ugh.’
Lee Han groaned internally at the words, which even he thought were not persuasive.
If a wizard broke into a mansion and caused catastrophic destruction, it would be easy for anyone to think, ‘Oh, that wizard must have destroyed it.’
But it was really unfair.
Lee Han simply sneaked in and moved the requested item.
In the process, I met the owner of the mansion and knocked him unconscious…
‘It’s not my fault that the spirit went berserk, right?’
“Are you there?”
Falkrius called out to the people inside in a loud voice.
The chamberlain, who had been hunting down servants like rats in preparation for the banquet, walked out with an irritated look on his face.
“What’s going on?”
“I came because of the wheat from the peddler Jongseonun.”
“Who?”
“This time, the wizards of Einrogard and the priests of the temple were trying to distribute food to the poor, but it seems there was a misunderstanding.”
Falkrius explained it in the best way possible with a smile on his face.
It was wheat that was originally supposed to be donated and had been promised, but perhaps there was a mistake and the servants of the mansion took it away.
I will return the money, but I want the wheat to be returned…
However, the chamberlain was indifferent.
“No.”
“…yes?”
“No. “We are also busy preparing for the master’s banquet.”
“You said you would return the silver coins, right?”
“Then the servants will have to go around looking for and buying new ones. “I can’t waste time like that.”
Lee Han slowly took a step forward.
Because I didn’t know if the other person might be crazy about playing hardball.
However, the opponent only fired sharply.
“what?”
“it’s nothing. “Well, I am from the Wardanaz family.”
Even as he spoke, Lee Han felt a little embarrassed.
I’ve never brought up my family’s name in my life!
However, if it was to help my senior with his work, this level of shame was worth it.
If fierce fighting doesn’t work, even family ancestry…
“…Are you threatening me now? A wizard from Einrogard, from the Wardanaz family? “Do you know that my master has no backs?”
If Bardan, the owner, had heard, he would have reacted like, ‘I often threatened people I was comfortable with, but messing with the Wardanaz family was a little…’ But he was brave even if he didn’t know better.
The Chamberlain, who was accustomed to arrogantly manipulating his subordinates, did not quite understand the extent of the difference in power.
Thanks to this, the shame was Lee Han’s responsibility.
It was embarrassing just to take it out, but since it didn’t work, the rebound came back twice.
“Go away. Because there is no wheat to fill the stomachs of beggars. “You should be thankful that they don’t kick you out of the city.”
At that moment, Lee Han saw a spark fly from Falkrius’ eyes.
Lee Han, who remembered the conversation he had with Falkrius earlier, hurriedly intervened.
“Seniors! “Calm down!”
“Thank you. Wodanaz.”
Falkrius came to his senses after hearing his junior’s shout. He couldn’t have caused an accident in front of his junior.
“Did I stop you for no reason? Should we just attack?”
“Phew. no. Wardanaz. If you attack everyone so arrogantly, it wouldn’t be enough to spend an entire year on them. “Let’s go back.”
Even though he wanted to break down the front door, Falkrius gave up completely.
Normally, if you do this kind of work, you are bound to meet such rude people. Actually, it wasn’t that bad.
As the two retreated, the chamberlain muttered behind the door.
“Anyway, there is no difference between priests and beggars.”
“let’s go. Wardanaz. “I have no time to get involved with people like that.”
“Senior, let’s go first. “I have somewhere to stop by.”
Lee Han said in a cold voice.
I tried to let it go, but the other person just crossed the line with his words.
…It looks like Stedal Nago will appear once again and destroy the mansion.
