Episode 704
“That’s right. This is it… Wait a minute, so this is the warehouse I received from a senior who graduated?!”
Last time we talked about artifacts, I was surprised again because Dirette responded, ‘Don’t say nonsense.’
Lee Han wondered why he was doing this again now.
“Didn’t I tell you earlier?”
“That’s right… that’s right.”
Delet felt a little calm when he saw his junior acting as if something natural had happened.
For this junior, meeting a graduate in the punishment room and receiving a secret base as a gift is just routine.
So Direth stay calm too…
‘…No. ‘He’s weird.’
Direth checked the artifact, trying to control his mind that was becoming restless and restless.
The old predecessor who installed this note-shaped artifact here must have placed it this way to secure the amount of horsepower needed to drive it.
Artifacts with built-in magic were convenient tools to help wizards, but they were not tools that could use magic without paying anything.
In particular, the most important thing was securing horsepower. As the magic used by the artifact became more powerful, the amount of magic required also increased exponentially.
This note-shaped communication artifact is simply a way of exchanging letters.
But even that required a lot of horsepower. This was especially true as the artifact itself lacked the ability to collect or generate magical power.
In order to operate that artifact, Delet was periodically charging magical power and soaking it in a reagent…
‘It was connected to the magical energy flowing within the secret base.’
Delet, who had been watching with interest the methods of other seniors, realized it too late.
“Wait, there’s no reason for you to keep this pinned here, right? Even if you carry it around, it will charge on its own, right?”
“yes?”
“This artifact. “It was fixed here to supply the magic power in the room.”
“ah. Is that possible too? “I just left it alone because it was fixed…”
“If it’s okay, I’ll separate it for you.”
After receiving Lee Han’s permission, Delet took out a cane and a paper knife, carved a simple engraving, and began work.
Separating the artifact connected to the magic of that space was also more difficult than expected.
You had to be well-versed in enchantment and accurately understand the flow of magic in space. Otherwise, the artifact could be burned or magic energy could spread in the space, causing unexpected phenomena.
Lee Han was impressed as he watched Delet work closely.
“That’s amazing. Have you ever learned enchantment?”
“It’s not official, just a little bit because I need it. “When learning black magic, there are many cursed artifacts, so you need to know how to do some enchantment.”
“……”
Direth was engrossed in his work without even realizing that he had said something that would reduce the popularity of black magic.
The book separated with a blazing sound .
Delet carefully checked the location where the note was connected and then handed the artifact to his junior.
“ruler. here. Still, it’s a pretty useful artifact, so take good care of it so that others don’t steal it.”
“How about disguising it as another grimoire?”
“Not bad.”
Lee Han picked up a quill and wrote < On the great life and achievements of Gonadaltes > on the notebook.
Direth saw this and patiently gave advice.
“Others won’t take it, but if you’re caught with it, you’ll be treated like a crazy person.”
“indeed.”
Lee Han erased the title and rewrote < The Diary of Bible Verdus >.
Delet silently took the note, erased the title, and wrote < Einrogard's Whispers >.
“This is enough. “At this rate, no one will be interested.”
“thank you. senior.”
“If anything happens or you need help, call me. “Even if I can’t answer right away, I will reply as soon as I confirm.”
Lee Han nodded, his eyes sparkling with emotion.
What school would a senior take care of a junior like this?
One senior like Delet was better than a hundred seniors like Yukbeltire.
“for a moment. This mirror… is it the other communication artifact you mentioned last time?”
“yes. “He was absolutely crazy.”
Lee Han grumbled and badmouthed the other person through the mirror.
This opponent treated Lee Han as a weirdo with narrow and unstable friendships because he was a little familiar with Illendil and studied black magic school.
Delet heard the story and was furious.
“What kind of child are you?”
“He is a very rude person. “They even thought I was a weirdo because I came from the Wardanaz family!”
“What else?”
“…Sir, why don’t you get angry about this as well?”
Delet, who was about to move on without even thinking about what had just happened, thought it was a mistake.
“That’s so rude!”
“thank you. Other than that… he heard the rumor and wanted me to participate in his research.”
“driving me crazy. “I stopped Yukbeltire for a while and it was everywhere…”
Direth sighed.
Personally, I thought that Einrogard’s protection rules for first-year students should be expanded and applied to second-year students.
Now, to Delet, the junior in front of him looked like a weak sheep standing defenseless.
Outside the fence, numerous senior wolves will be waiting, drooling.
“Do not worry. senior. “I can refuse.”
“…okay. “You’re not easy either.”
“?”
“Be careful when talking to other students. Don’t move on hastily. Are you still talking to this person?”
“We talked about it occasionally last year. “The information is useful…”
Delet nodded as if he understood.
Cooperating with Einrogard’s classmates or seniors was not necessarily because they were good personalities or a good match.
There are more cases than you might think where you have no choice but to join hands to conduct research in order to survive.
It was better to keep in touch with someone, even if they were trash, to get information.
“You haven’t discovered your identity by any chance, right?”
“Do not worry. It was played so perfectly you wouldn’t even dream of it. A rough and rude third grader, no. I guess he’s about 4th grade now. “Anyway, that’s my disguise.”
“You must be thinking of it as the White Tiger Tower?”
“…Yes!”
In fact, the opponent seemed to think that the black turtle was Top, but Lee Han was considerate of Delet.
Because Delet was a student at the Black Turtle Tower, not a student at the White Tiger Tower.
“hmm. “It might be a good disguise.”
“Yes?”
“Then I’ll move this artifact too.”
Delet began extracting the core spell engraved on the mirror.
As it was a much more difficult task than the previous note, Lee Han helped Delet work next to him.
“Can you place the reagent here and stabilize it?”
“yes.”
“Is there any chance of magic release here… No. “That might still be impossible.”
“I learned. “Helping Professor Verdus.”
Lee Han immediately casted < Bible’s magic release grant >.
Direth felt bitter about whether he should praise or be saddened by the near-perfect workmanship.
But apart from that, the junior next to me was a close to perfect assistant.
No matter what reagent I told him about, he came right away without asking again, there was nothing he couldn’t use among the various basic spells, and above all, there was no need for rest.
“This is… fascinating.”
“?”
“It doesn’t seem like a very old artifact, does it? “The spells inside are modern magic.”
There were numerous artifacts in Einrogard that were over a hundred years old.
The note that Delet and Lee Han are communicating with was an item found in an antique warehouse.
When looking at the magic inside these artifacts, traces of their age were felt.
Magic also has trends and developments, so people with a keen eye can distinguish between those times.
This mirror artifact contained relatively recent magic, and it could be seen that the wizard’s skills were very elaborate and outstanding.
Flash!
Lee Han’s note glowed and absorbed a new spell. Delet simply calculated the amount of horsepower and then clicked his tongue.
“It’s going to take a lot more horsepower than expected. “It’ll be okay.”
“……”
Even though Lee Han knew that he was okay, he felt a little disappointed when Direth didn’t show much concern.
‘It might not be okay, right?’
If you consume a lot of magic power unexpectedly…
“Are there any more artifacts to move to the warehouse here? “Let’s all do this together.”
“hmm. “I do have a paper artifact, but…”
Lee Han took out the paper artifact he received after climbing the reward tower as the top student last year.
It was a communication artifact shared between Giselle, Adenard Angago, Salko Shails, and Tigiling Nigisor.
Direth was surprised by the artifact that allowed eight people to talk instead of one-on-one.
“It will become more difficult every time we increase the number.”
“Actually, I’ve never used this before.”
At Lee Han’s words, Delet nodded, saying it seemed like it.
These artifacts required magical power to be charged, and Lee Han’s friends were all first-year students.
It may be more difficult than expected to recharge the magic power such students need.
“okay. So…”
“Wouldn’t it be better to sell it?”
“…I’ll teach you some ways to recharge… okay?”
Delet and Lee Han looked at each other as if wondering what they were talking about.
“Wouldn’t it be better to sell it? “I barely wrote it?”
“…No matter how urgent you are for silver, it’s better not to sell things like this. “How useful it is to be able to keep in touch with friends.”
“I don’t think it was very useful, but…”
Lee Han thought about the communications he received last year.
Most of the paper birds my friends sent were annoying and annoying requests for help.
“It’s okay, don’t sell it. “I’ll teach you how to charge it, so tell it to your friends.”
Delet explained as he put the wad of paper artifact into his notebook.
“First, collect the rotten blood of the underground corruptors…”
“Sir. “I don’t think my friends will be able to catch the underground Corruptor easily.”
“…okay. I just made a mistake. “Let me tell you in a simpler way.”
Delet explained an easier method.
At night, when the energy of the moon is strongest, take out a silver cup, fill it with clean water, and let it absorb the energy of the moon for two hours. The magic power will thicken… ‘Hmm
. Should I just go find the underground corruptor, catch him, and then sell his blood?’
Lee Han thought to himself that this method was more annoying than expected.
* * *
As someone who would be invited to the awards ceremony if there was an award for < Ainrogard's Most Excellent Senior >, Delet helped with the remaining minor tasks without a single complaint.
We cleaned up the inside of the secret base and moved supplies to the hut outside…
‘How did we get the ghost chicken?’
Direth had doubts in his mind.
No matter how you look at it, it was not an animal that a first grader could save.
“Who made this hut? “It’s so neat.”
“Professor Bagrek.”
‘I asked for no reason.’
Although Delet regretted asking, he asked more questions.
“For what purpose? “You’re not trying to attack in a place where no one can see, are you?”
“haha. No one comes to the basement classroom anyway, so there is no need to create a new one. This is a hut built to raise basilisks. “When they hatch, I take them with me, but when they grow up, I have to let them stay here.”
Lee Han said as if it was obvious.
Now it’s as light as a bracelet, so it’s hanging on Lee Han, but originally, the basilisk was included in the large monsters.
-?!
Of course, Lee Han’s words were such a shock to the baby basilisk that it felt like the sky was falling.
Direth said in confusion as the Basilisk’s tail sticking out of its sleeve trembled as if it had been shocked.
“Uh… junior. “It looks like the basilisk is shocked.”
“yes? “You must be hungry.”
“No…I think it’s a little different from that…?”
