Episode 604
“Those…they are nice.”
oh!
“What is ‘oh’?”
Headmaster Skeleton was dumbfounded.
No matter how much he hates the position of emperor, his reaction to the fact that he is nice is a bit excessive.
To be kind is to feel sorry for everything in the world, and if that’s the case, you might have the qualifications of an emperor…
“And I’m not particularly nice.”
The ruthless lich mercilessly trampled the gold dragon’s hopes.
“Last time, I saw other top students stealing food.”
“No, that’s a fair competition…”
Lee Han unknowingly defended Gainando.
“And the White Tiger Tower students also stole a lot of food from Guyan.”
“I didn’t mean Kainan Island.”
“…yes???”
Lee Han doubted his ears at the shocking words.
However, Principal Skeleton changed the topic as if he didn’t want to talk about the students’ low competition to secure food anymore.
“We are still far away.”
Still, isn’t there an outstanding wizard here?
“Your Majesty…”
Headmaster Skeleton was pleased with the sudden praise.
“If you think so, please give me more support. The 4th graders need a solid gold golem to use as a reagent. It is at least 15m tall and weighs more than 20 tons…”
The dragon didn’t mean you…
The emperor blinked and pointed at Lee Han.
Because you are there, those good kids can grow even more.
“Say something that makes sense. Do they all grow up next to an outstanding wizard?”
why but You were that… Iaktus, you raised that child.
“Are you intentionally insulting me? He chose to do only what I told him not to do!”
keep quiet It’s good when you grow up.
The emperor let out a snort as if he was annoyed by the headmaster who kept thumping.
Anyway, I enjoyed the conversation today. sewage. Your disciple is close to you. Actually, in a way, this is the most surprising thing… The dragon must have gotten older too. I was able to calmly accept it.
“……”
“…isn’t that enough?”
As if to signal the end of the conversation, the emperor looked at Lee Han with wise eyes.
You have a lot of expectations. Even if you don’t necessarily grow your friends, grow up great and become a good wizard.
“yes. I will become a good wizard and do my best as an official of the empire.”
Lee Han waited for an opportunity and flattered him like lightning.
How many opportunities would there be to face the emperor like this?
At this time, I had to leave a special impression.
However, the emperor was puzzled rather than admirable.
bureaucracy…?
When Oh-su’s disciple brought up the story of bureaucrats, he wondered what he was talking about.
‘ah. Was it the story of the Marshal?’
To think that Ohsu already wanted to shoulder one of the tasks of the empire with him.
Despite the teacher’s eccentric personality, he was a very admirable disciple.
When I thought about it, I couldn’t believe that such a wizard was a child of Wardanaz.
It seems like it was only yesterday that he came with a sacred object like Osu and plunged the dragon into a cursed fate…
The dragon closed its eyes.
As I recalled the memories, rather than being sentimental, anger soared.
In my heart, I wanted to increase the tasks of the empire for the family head, but looking at the personality of the family head of Wodanaz, it didn’t mean much.
The emperor calmly calmed down his anger and said with a smile.
don’t wait
“yes!”
* * *
“I had a hard time.”
Headmaster Skeleton said with all his heart.
This disciple really played a very big role.
If I had offended the emperor, I would have been in trouble all winter.
“It is all thanks to the guidance of the principal. haha.”
Lee Han replied cunningly.
“guy. no. This is your ball anyway. It’s the power of the tongue that makes even all the troublesome and picky bastards obedient.”
‘I think the expression is a bit swearing.’
“ruler. Then…”
Headmaster Skeleton took out a wad of paper from his pocket. It was a bundle of crumpled paper, each of a different size and color.
Seeing it as if it had been picked up from a garbage dump, Lee Han asked, puzzled.
“Where did you pick up this trash?”
“This is the research plan that your seniors asked me to do.”
“Looking at it again, it seems that there is indeed a sense of seogi.”
“done. Most of them are garbage research. Like music magic.”
Headmaster Skeleton glanced at the stacks of papers and hated them once more.
Even though I already know the contents, there were so many garbage-like studies.
-A study on the phenomenon that appears when you wear a recovery potion steadily in a situation where you are not injured
-A study on how satisfying illusion magic varies depending on the region of the empire
-A study on the most efficient wand wielding motion
-The tribe favored by trolls as prey Research on…
“Ugh. Looking at it again, it looks like garbage. Why would you need mind magic? Everyone would vomit blood if they just swung it.”
“……”
“After. let’s go. To squeeze bureaucrats. I hope Pengerin has made the bureaucrats fall in love enough.”
“Are you asking for funding for these studies?”
“okay. Even if it’s garbage, it’s something we have to do.”
Skeleton Principal clicked his tongue and organized the stack of papers.
I wanted to call the students and put them in the punishment room, but failure was also necessary to achieve.
It is said that an extraordinary wizard like himself succeeds without failure, but the Headmaster Skull knew well that all wizards could not be like him with his brilliant mind.
“ah! I really have a cursed fate. Where else would there be an archmage as afflicted as I am?”
‘If he hadn’t just said that, he would have been much cooler.’
While Lee Han thought so, Headmaster Skeleton strode forward and opened the door.
In the splendid room, a bureaucrat and Alcicle were sitting and talking.
“So, cold magic…”
“As expected, Pengerin-nim. Each story is so funny and instructive!”
Every time Alcicle spoke, the bureaucrats chuckled in admiration.
However, the story was not particularly interesting to Lee Han. Honestly, I doubted it was because of Alcicle’s appearance.
“More than that, Miss Pengerin. Aren’t you hungry?”
“I’m fine.”
“I’ll call the cook and bring the sardines.”
“I wonder if you guys are doing this because you want to see me swallow sardines…”
“Oh no? no!”
Officials hastily denied it. Alcicle grumbled and said.
“Rather than that, think again about Einrogard. Ein Rogard is the best magic school in the Empire. Students are getting the best education possible. Students are not hungry. Students are happy.”
“Are these phrases written by His Excellency Gonadaltes?”
No matter how cute Alcicle was, the bureaucrats came to their senses when Einrogard’s name came out.
Headmaster Skeleton clicked his tongue and went inside.
“How dare you insult people?”
“Hick!!”
“His Excellency Gonadaltes!!”
The officials got up quickly and started running to a corner of the room.
“?”
Lee Han tilted his head, not understanding why they were doing that.
The reason was immediately clear.
rattle!
The officials opened the secret door and fled into the next room. Headmaster Skeleton sighed and twisted the space. Officials immediately returned to their seats.
“The late Sir Gonadaltes. This is His Majesty’s Palace. Also, there are many other people around. Also, the knights at the front door…”
“Shut up. a little. Because it doesn’t hurt.”
“You said that the other day and then attacked me…”
“How long are you planning to keep things from a few years ago in your memory? Why are you so narrow-minded!”
Headmaster Skeleton hit the floor with his cane and screamed.
It was very frustrating to see the officials of the empire sticking to such trivial things for a long time and bothering them.
‘No…’
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
Was it a real attack?
“No matter how much you attack us, we can’t give you any more budget.”
The bureaucrats held each other’s hands tightly while shaking. The skeleton principal sighed.
“Can you hear the story? Here is a plan carefully crafted by the young mages of the Empire. Listen. It might appeal to you.”
“…yes…”
The officials nodded their heads with disapproval on their faces. If it wasn’t for the skeleton headmaster, he would have issued a congratulatory order at once.
Most of the research plans put forward by Einrogard students were always absurd and expensive.
Even now, huge budgets are spent on Einrogard by order of the emperor, and if more budgets are spent here, how deprived would other sound mage towers and wizard guilds be?
Perhaps it was the mission of the Imperial Treasury to stop these plans.
“ruler. Listen. First of all, about the < research on the species that trolls prefer as food >…” “
……”
The bureaucrats were serious from the start.
I was afraid to hear what the hell he was going to do with that research.
* * *
“Not easy.”
Headmaster Skeleton clicked his tongue and left the room.
The bureaucrats who heard < Research on the species preferred by trolls as prey > hated it and tried not to go over it.
It certainly didn’t look easy to Lee Han.
“What would you like to do?”
“I’ll have to convince the other officials a bit more.”
“A direct contact with the upper line?”
“First of all, we have to recruit some useful ones among the lower ones. The top guys are the ones who are more clogged up.”
When you get this additional budget, you have to persuade more than a few people from the bottom to take them.
In the first place, they were the ones who were thinking of not paying the budget if the skeleton headmaster spoke.
“The rumors would have spread now, so they must have been hiding. Let’s give them some time to be vigilant.”
“……”
Lee Han lost his words and looked at the skeleton headmaster, but the skeleton headmaster checked his pocket watch casually.
“Follow me.”
“Where are you this time?”
“printing press.”
“ah. Are you printing a book for next year?”
“You are quick-witted. okay. right.”
The skeleton headmaster left the imperial palace and went down the road to the capital.
A print shop reeked of ink and hot paper being stamped out from the depths of the alley.
“How are you?”
“Gonadaltes-nim! It is an honour. You came like this again this year!”
“okay. It makes me feel good to see you healthy.”
Yi-han was amazed to see the dwarf printer take off his hat and welcome the skeleton headmaster.
Well, come to think of it, there was no reason to be so afraid of the skeleton headmaster unless it was a bureaucrat.
Besides, if it’s a print shop, isn’t the skeleton headmaster a kind of big hand? Any customer like this will be delighted.
“Is this your disciple?”
“Right. Are you ready for what I said?”
“yes. of course. hey! Get ready!”
The dwarven printer started typesetting metal type with his staff.
The magical metal types were typeset one after another as if they were alive, and they were quickly put together.
Headmaster Skeleton nodded as he fully grasped the contents with just one glance.
“Proceed.”
With a clanking sound, the prepared paper began to turn into the pages of a book.
Skilled printers moved the finished page and asked the spirits above the magic circle to do additional touches.
It wasn’t prepared by himself, but Lee Han, who was looking at it with a proud feeling, suddenly became curious and asked.
“By the way, what kind of magic book is this?”
Headmaster Skeleton answered while reading a completed book.
“It’s a magic book with a fake map. Spread it all over the empire to fool your juniors.”
“……”
