Episode 970
“What do you mean by what you just said…”
Lee Han, who was about to ask a question, was surprised to realize that his surroundings were becoming blurry.
Is this the end of our relationship this time? See you next time. Ohsu’s disciple.
“for a moment! Then, a small world…”
King Yasha expressed his respect for the wizard who did not give up his desire to explore magic until the end.
But Lee Han didn’t mean to ask that. Lee Han shouted inwardly as he watched the dimension recede.
‘…After all, initiation had nothing to do with it, did it?!’
I think if I just stayed still, I could have come out on my own when the time came…!
* * *
“omg!”
“What’s going on?”
The seniors were surprised when the junior, who had been lying on his sleeping bag for a moment, woke up with a cry.
When exploring this underground area, one had to be careful of nightmares.
It was not an ordinary dream, but it could have been a premonition of an evil monster or phenomenon.
“Oh, it’s nothing. “I was immersed in magic in my dreams…”
“……”
Si Gunting and An Pagon were inwardly impressed.
Students of the Buyeo School of Magic were aware that they were the most immersed in magic among the many schools in Einrogard.
This was not groundless pride.
Otherwise, what wizard would learn magic under Professor Verdus?
Just by learning magic under Professor Verdus, the students deserved to be said to be the most devoted to magic.
But to be so absorbed in magic, even in your dreams.
‘He’s not an ordinary guy after all.’
‘If you immerse yourself in magic training even in your dreams, the mental burden will be enormous. ‘That’s amazing.’
Meanwhile, Yukbeltire quietly approached behind Lee Han. When the other person seemed worried, Lee Han waved his hand.
“I’m fine. Seniors.”
“Good. “I was already researching how to practice magic in dreams. Can you explain the situation in detail?”
“Go away. Seniors.”
Lee Han quickly began to adapt to the Buyeo school of magic.
When a senior speaks to you, you respond sharply and bluntly.
-I just made a fuss.
-That’s right.
“!?”
The group was startled by the voices of other students coming from the top of the cliff.
“Were you followed?”
“no! It seems like they don’t know we’re there. “I think I found the steel shoes another way…”
-Who are you?
Soon, the person above seemed to have noticed the presence and shouted sharply.
Anpagon responded without letting down his guard.
“It is a school of magic. “What about that one?”
“Were they crazy? We are a school of transformation magic… No! Wodanaz! “Why are you there?!”
The surprised seniors of the Transformation Magic School soon realized.
“ah. Wardanaz also heard of enchantment.”
“Yes… more senior than that. “How did you find this location?”
The Transformation Magic School students at the top of the cliff thought for a moment and then opened their mouths.
If there were only Buyeo magic school students, ‘Why should I answer? You might have ignored them, saying, ‘You little Verdus?’, but there was something there.
“Senior Zaroon often borrowed our reagents and never paid them back, so I secretly cast a tracking spell on him.”
“……”
The Buyeo Magic School students, including Lee Han, were all inwardly shocked.
They weren’t the only ones who cast a spell!
“There was one among us who knew how to transform into Alicanto, so we were able to break through easily. How did you guys manage to get here so quickly?”
The seniors of the Transformation Magic School were puzzled.
They were lucky that there was a student in the area who knew how to transform into a bird, so they came quickly, but that wasn’t the case for the Buyeo School of Magic.
“It’s unlikely that they came down through the golem cave above with force…”
“……”
Lee Han’s face distorted at the other person’s explanation.
Another lesson was learned today.
You shouldn’t just accept an attractive offer from a senior!
‘shit. It would have been much easier if I had just checked with the transformation magic side.’
I never would have guessed that there were other people besides Yukveltire who had cast tracking spells.
It was Lee Han’s mistake to underestimate the seniors of Einrogard.
“We were lucky. But… senior. Are you looking for senior Zaroon? “Why can’t you see it?”
“I found it, but it’s meaningless.”
“??”
“If you’re curious, come up. for a moment. Wardanaaz, only you come up.”
The students of the Transformation Magic School warned with wary faces.
As Lee Han might have guessed, the Buyeo Magic School students were not trustworthy partners.

It wasn’t strange for me to suddenly get hit in the back of the head while standing still.
“All right. “I will go up alone.”
Lee Han easily headed to the top of the cliff using telekinesis magic.
And then I was astonished when I saw the distant sight.
“!!”
A familiar dwarf senior was trapped in a large green crystal vein. His stern face was full of shock and astonishment.
“Did your seniors lock you up?!”
“what? no!”
Transformation magic seniors strongly denied it.
“But I feel good. Should we just lock him up?”
“Wardanaz. When we arrived, Senior Zaroon was already trapped there. “I checked all around, but there was no vein of ore.”
Students from the School of Transformation Magic discovered the crystal in which Zarun was trapped and searched the surrounding area.
I was wondering if I could possibly find traces of the Orichalcon vein.
However, there were no traces of Orichalcon or any other mineral veins, nor any signs of development or exploration, in this area.
After much deliberation, the students came to a conclusion.
-You lied to Senior Zaroon by claiming he discovered a mine ore that didn’t exist in order to receive support.
“…Oh, no. “Even if you are Senior Zarun, would you tell such a lie?”
“How many times have you already hit it before? “It was a different kind back then, but…”
“……”
Lee Han once again realized that he had underestimated the seniors of Einrogard.
The upper grades of Einrogard were the ones who did not hesitate to tell ridiculous lies in order to obtain the equipment or funds they needed.
Students who were familiar with these types of things were not particularly disappointed.
Still, Lee Han defended himself one last time.
“But isn’t the Orichalcon vein a lie on a different scale? “Right now, other seniors and professors are showing interest, but I can’t believe it…”
“Wardanaz. “You shouldn’t think of crazy people as your standards.”
‘That’s true.’
Lee Han’s defense was immediately shot down.
In Einrogard, it was meaningless to define it as ‘Can they really do something like this?’
“There is no way the Orichalcon vein could be discovered so easily. “I thought I would be lucky if I could find another vein, but I can’t find that either.”
“Looking at it, the Steel Shoes senior applied for it in advance to use it for his own work later. Otherwise, there would be no traces of exploration or mining around. We’ve searched enough to find it, so we’re heading back. Wardanaz. “Do you want to go back together?”
“Uh… aren’t you taking Senior Zaroon with you?”
In response to Lee Han’s question, the students of the Transformation Magic School looked at their junior as if asking what he was talking about.
“Wardanaz. Steel Shoes senior ignored our greetings and did not reply to our letters. He went into his workshop alone and mined gold all the time. We’re not very sociable people, but there’s still a degree. Even the madmen from the Buyeo School of Magic wouldn’t do that.”
‘No… it’s similar…’
Lee Han thought to himself.
“But now, I don’t want to be hung up on a crystal vein that I don’t even know how to unlock for that senior. “It won’t die anyway, so if you leave it alone, the death knights will pick it up or the professor will pick it up.”
The atmosphere of the Transformation Magic School was not as cold as the Enchantment Magic School, but it was harsh to some people.
This was especially true in the case of Zaroon. Perhaps because of the karma he had accumulated, no one came forward to help him.
“Do you want to go back together?”
“…I think it will be difficult because there are people who came with me. And there are also things that bother me.”
“okay. Then there is nothing we can do. Lastly, don’t be too obsessed with the Orichalcum Vein. “It’s a vein that’s hard to see in the first place.”
“No, I was worried about senior Zaroon.”
“ah. okay? Then there is no need to be even more obsessed. “I just think it’s an ore that looks like that.”
With those last words, the students of the School of Transformation Magic were ready to return.
When one person transformed into Alicanto, the other students climbed on top of him and quickly flew away.
-Wardanaz. Can I go up?
“yes. “I think you can come.”
As the Buyeo Magic School students came up one by one, Lee Han explained what had happened.
Then the three seniors spoke calmly.
“Then there is a high probability that it is a scam.”
“…Is there any possibility of misunderstanding?”
“That’s why there are no traces nearby. If work had been in progress, there would have been traces of mining. “He probably hid important equipment or support money in his workshop and came down to take refuge.”
Si Gun Ting helped An Pagon’s guess.
“I can guess why you went in there. “He probably went in to prevent his pursuers from killing him.”
Lee Han was shocked by the novel and bold guess, but the other seniors nodded.
Even Jukbeltire did the same.
“Looking at the clothes, it looks like he was running away.”
“Perhaps you moved after finding the Orichalcon ore vein for unavoidable reasons.”
Yukveltire shook his head.
“no. “If you really found Orichalcon, you wouldn’t have left the area, even if it meant dying.”
“That’s true.”
If you leave your seat and disappear or are taken away by someone, you will not be able to shake that pain for the rest of your life.
A wizard like Zarun would have stayed near the ore vein.
The fact that it was discovered here without any trace was proof that the mineral vein did not exist.
“…All right. “Then let’s take senior Zaroon out and ask him.”
“what?”
“Why did you do that?”
“Just like Delet, you have a bad habit of wasting time on useless things.”
The three seniors scolded each other in order of grade.
Lee Han answered firmly.
“Now that I’ve come this far, I have to take it out and ask, even if it’s unfair.”
If by chance he was locked up for some other reason, there was plenty of business left over.
But the seniors thought differently.
“That’s a waste of time…”
“If you don’t help me, I will spread magic everywhere and invite monsters.”
“……”
“…i get it. “Let me help you.”
It can be scary when a junior who has always been sincere becomes stubborn.
When the junior, who until now had devoted himself quietly, became stubborn, the seniors had no choice but to accept.
…It was definitely not because I was afraid of threats.
* * *
Fortunately, Yukveltire seemed to have figured out the nature of the mineral vein that trapped Zarun.
“It’s a very unique metal. “It looks like a naturally formed alloy, but it’s not something you see often.”
“How do I get it out?”
“It is very resistant to external forces. However, if you forcefully knock on it, the Steel Shoes family’s Zarun will also be broken.”
“So how?”
“I think it probably has a little bit of black magnet mixed in as well. “I see magical power circulating strangely, so there’s something about the nature of absorption…”
“Seniors.”
“huh?”
“Can you just tell me the main point of how to get it out?”
“I think it would be best to melt it with magical heat.”
Yukbeltire immediately drew a blueprint for the artifact on the ground.
It was an artifact that captured the surrounding magical energy and converted it into heat, controlling the heat to prevent it from leaking to the surroundings or causing other damage, and as a result, it was able to steadily melt ore.
Lee Han nodded as he looked at the complicated blueprint and the even more complicated list of materials that went into it.
“I’ll just melt it with my magic.”
“……”
A very slightly shaken look appeared on Yukveltire’s expressionless face and then disappeared.
But even as Lee Han, there was nothing he could do.
When are you going to get all of that, bring it down, and then install it again?
A solution had to be found immediately.
Fortunately, after hearing the principle, it seemed like Lee Han could overcome it with his body.
‘Converts magical energy into flame properties and then radiates it.’
It was a much more ignorant and wasteful method than Yukbeltire’s artifact, but if given time, the results would be the same.
Yukveltire, who was watching from behind, spoke up.
“A junior member of the Wardanaz family.”
“Do not disturb.”
“I’m not disturbing you…”
“Sir, installing the artifact takes too long.”
“I’m not saying that…”
“Shh. “Then please be quiet.”
“……”
Yukveltyre kept his mouth shut.
Actually, I wasn’t really talking about the artifact.
From earlier, a vague illusion of a crown had been waving above Lee Han’s head.
‘…What is that magic?’
