Episode 646
While the wizard, a kind penguin beast, went out to solve the request instead (I chose one as an assistant, but it took Guinando), Lee Han opened a letter book during his time in the Kingdom and studied the score carefully.
It was much more interesting to know what it was about.
‘It’s amazing.’
If there was one word to describe the Empire’s magic, it would be efficiency.
The history of continental magic was longer than that of the Empire, and the types and schools were as diverse as that. Even now, it was possible to know just by looking at the primitive magic or ancient magic that the empire did not know existed.
How can we weave together countless magics that differ from region to region and even mix with each other?
The mages of the empire were weaved with the standard of efficiency.
Discard old, ineffective spells.
If there is a magic that produces the same result, leave the faster and more concise magic.
This method was found to be quite effective.
There was no problem even if wizards from the western end of the empire and wizards from the eastern end of the empire met and conducted research together, with different customs and history.
Right now, as in an old fairy tale, < The Story of the Unfortunate Accident of Two Wizards with Different Ways to Create Flame >, it was inherently dangerous for other wizards to work together.
As such, Lee Han also agreed with this methodology.
But there are always exceptions to every theory.
Although they were ignored because they were outdated and inefficient, there were exceptions that occasionally popped out and demonstrated their power.
That was the magic of wizards in the Ga Kingdom.
This magic, which could be called music magic in an imperial way now, tried to dominate the surroundings in a very inefficient way.
By putting magic into sound and controlling it!
There was no means to control the surrounding medium as quickly as sound, but there was a reason why no one did it.
‘Because putting magic into the spell itself is incredibly difficult, and even if you do it, it’s a waste of magic.’
The skeleton headmaster didn’t just ask for a challenge in the spirit of the word magic.
A magician’s spell is originally a kind of self-suggestion, and if you put magic into the spell itself, it’s just an introduction to the magic of words.
Of course, it was impossible with ordinary will and concentration.
Right now, Lee Han was only able to sing a limited number of songs…
Wizards in the Kingdom of Ga knew this well. Their wisdom to overcome these limitations surprised Lee Han.
First, there were magic circles like the reliefs on the walls of the tomb. This served to increase the concentration of the surrounding magical power.
‘Because I need a certain amount of magic to be able to use music magic.’
Lee Han was not surprised because he already knew this.
And it didn’t matter too much to Lee Han. It was just something that could be solved with one’s own magic.
‘What’s next… Artifact?’
Surprisingly, during the Ga Kingdom, wizards used musical instruments as artifacts.
After deciding on a song, I create instrumental artifacts exclusively for that song.
This instrument was an artifact enchanted to maximize the rhythm of the song, and it resonated with the wizard’s song to complete its lack of power.
I never thought I would succeed in music magic in this way.
It was an amazing tenacity.
‘It’s a way to practice only one song with a dedicated instrument for 20 to 30 years. I’m sure it will contain magic that wasn’t in the song.’
It gave me efficiency, but it was also true that I was in awe.
And, in Lee Han’s view, there was no other way to properly implement the current music magic.
Wouldn’t the seniors who are now studying music magic at Ein Lorgard be unable to waste magic or put it into spells like Daihan?
‘It’s a good method for me too.’
Currently, Lee Han can sing some songs like music magic, but he himself didn’t know how to do it.
This couldn’t be called magic. Proper magic had to know what it was doing.
It would be much easier for Lee Han to practice music magic if he filled up the elements lacking in magic completion by borrowing the power of musical instruments.
There must also be an instrument given by the headmaster of the skeleton…
Jing-
Yihan took out his violin and started playing it, and his friends looked at him.
“This song was < The Bad Dragon Is Coming >, wasn’t it?”
“huh.”
At Ratford’s question, Yoner nodded and rested his chin on one hand.
My friend’s violin skills were so good that I wanted to listen to him for a while.
It was an old nursery rhyme about a red dragon coming and breaking down the fence, a black dragon coming and destroying the house, and a white dragon coming and stomping on the wreckage and gone.
…The principal came and broke down the fence. Outrageous Headmaster! Could there be a more terrible disaster than this?
Then the principal’s alter ego came and destroyed the house. Damn Principal! …
Eandurde tilted her head as Ratford and Yoner Nilia sang the Einrogarde version.
“Isn’t that a dragon…?”
“…It’s a de dragon. He said it was a dragon.”
“The principal…”
“No! It’s a dragon!”
The seniors, who belatedly realized the existence of the juniors, hurriedly changed their words.
In the meantime, Lee Han, who had finished practicing, slowly played the sheet music.
‘Based on the dark element, spreading magical power around, praising and mourning the king’s sacrifice…’
a slow song was played. Lee Han sang along with the lyrics.
“All praise the king’s sacrifice, for the king sacrifices all his enemies…”
As the song continued to play, Yoner stood up and held out his hand to Nilia.
The two danced slowly and gracefully.
The dances of the Empire were not only danced when they were happy and cheerful, but there were also dances performed during funeral ceremonies.
Ratford thought as he clapped.
‘what. Can I dance when Kainando is not around?’
I think I’m going to really cry when I find out…
“Mmm.”
“Oops! What if it suddenly stops!”
When Lee Han stopped the violin and hesitated, Nilia almost lost her balance.
It’s a shame that he was trained in the mountains. If he hadn’t, the awkward dance would have been further ruined.
“Didn’t you feel anything in particular while listening to the song?”
“???”
The friends tilted their heads at Lee Han’s question.
“Tell me one by one.”
“Is the bass of the song rich and delicate?”
“I don’t know who the king is, but since he died while receiving this kind of song, there must be a lot to steal at the funeral?”
“When the hell did Wodanaz start practicing the violin? Do you live twice as many days?”
After answering, except for Yoner, the other two were embarrassed.
I should have listened to the song, but it was a different sound.
“hmm. As expected, the song doesn’t contain magic power.”
At Lee Han’s words, Yoner said as if he couldn’t believe it.
“To put magic into the song itself? Is that possible?”
“So this is it…”
When I explained to Yoner what I had just been reading and studying, Yoner showed a strange but worried expression.
“It’s fun. But I’m a little worried.”
“why?”
“In the second year, you must have listened to lectures to the limit, but you are going to do this together, right?”
“…no. It hasn’t been decided yet to listen to lectures to the limit.”
“I’ll listen to the limit.”
“You will hear it to the limit.”
Nilia and Ratford said coldly.
Unlike Lee Han, who still denies reality, his friends were cold-hearted.
Even the school of professors who cared for Lee Han now was close to the limit.
If you add a few other lectures held by those professors to this, you have reached the limit.
“I think this is not a matter of tune, but a matter of lyrics.”
Lee Han carefully checked the sheet music and came to a conclusion.
“Isn’t it Einrogard’s problem…?”
“If the melody creates a magical effect, the lyrics help to contain the magical power of the magician itself. In other words, you can change the lyrics. no. It’s okay to change.”
Lee Han eagerly scribbled with his quill and took notes.
I was able to make a decision more quickly because I had the experience of following the skeleton principal and exploring music magic.
Just as spells in magic help a sorcerer to self-suggest, it was clear that lyrics also played a role.
Otherwise, it didn’t make sense for Lee Han to succeed with some songs and fail with others.
‘In a way that suits me.’
During the Kingdom of Ga, wizards practiced one song for decades. It was to change myself to fit the song.
Lee Han had the idea of trying to compromise and tailor a part of the song to himself.
“The lyrics that I can relate to emotionally as the hymns go along with the funeral songs… I need your help. It’s hard to work alone.”
“hmm!”
“Mmmmm!”
“Mmmmmm!”
The three of them felt very pressured by their friend’s words.
Nilia regretted that she should have gone out to gather instead of Guinando.
“I barely managed to fail the Imperial Literature class…”
“I also said during a writing assignment that thieves should be permitted under Imperial Law, but the professor called me aside.”
“……”
Yoner, left virtually alone, felt sweat welling up.
I had to take something out and throw it at this tough fellow.
Songs suitable for funeral odes, but lyrics that Lee Han can relate to.
“Hey guys?”
“Eh…”
“Eh?”
“How about Einrogard?”
“Ein Rogard? tell me more Yoner.”
“So, Ein Lorgard… um… You can sing a funeral song after you have entered Ein Lorgard!”
“……”
Nilia and Ratford were taken aback, but Lee Han felt that it was plausible.
“indeed. It’s plausible. The hymn now celebrates the nobility of the student who sacrificed himself on behalf of the rest of the empire.”
“I didn’t even say that.”
Yoner was taken aback by the sight of his friend having another drink.
However, Han Lee seemed to have already been inspired.
“good. A song mourning and praising the new students of Einrogard based on the dark element… I think it’s okay. Isn’t this better than Asan’s song?”
“Why, out of all the many songs, Dalcard’s song?”
Ein Rogard Ain Rogarde My friends were disgusted when I heard the song that was so fraudulent and said it was so good.

“Mrs. Pengerin. I can’t go in those bushes!”
“do not worry. I’ll let you know. First, pick up your wand and use the mutilation spell below. do not write above It won’t work because you’re tired. Then, when there is a hole, go under it.”
“Kheuk. Why is it only me…”
Cainando crawled under the bushes crying. Then he carefully collected the thorny mushrooms and crawled out.
When he was inside the mansion, he was an extremely cute penguin wizard, but when he came out, Alcicle turned into a very strict senior wizard.
It was a lightning bolt for Gainando, who tried to gather only moderately easy materials and give up difficult ones.
“Can’t we just say this is hard and go back?”
“Guinan Island. What would Wodanaz think of you if you said you didn’t do it that way?”
“Won’t you think that you couldn’t do it because it was hard?”
“…climb up the tree quickly.”
Alcicle made an ice ladder and beckoned.
This prince’s pride was as hard to find as the Skeleton Headmaster’s conscience.
Gainando grumbled and went up. As he continued to grumble, Alcicle called out from below to appease him.
“Think carefully. Guinan Province. Wouldn’t it be better to finish quickly and go back?”
“That’s right. But Pengerin seems to want to stay for a long time.”
“That must be wrong. Because I want to finish quickly and go back. I just want to watch Wardanaz work on music magic.”
Alcicle said with sincerity.
Seeing a junior wizard like Lee Han studying rare and unfamiliar magic was a source of joy to the wizard.
As a result, you can realize and learn a lot yourself.
“uh. Mr. Pengerin.”
“Why again?”
“If that’s the case, shouldn’t we go back right away? Lee Han is quick at learning magic, so if he dies, it might be over!”
“… Hey, are you looking at my intelligence as sardines?”
Alcicle couldn’t stand it, so he made a snowball in the air and started shooting it at Guyando.
Gainando screamed while screaming.
“It’s real! It’s real!”
