Chapter 113
The students of the Black Turtle Tower were genuinely perplexed. Even Salcho of the Tutanta family was like that.
He was sure that Wardanaj would be satisfied with that forbidden book of black magic.
“Uh… why? Wodanaz?”
“ah! Is it because you’ve already read the book and you don’t like it? that…!”
The Black Turtle Tower students asked and found answers among themselves.
Seeing that, Lee Han thought to himself.
‘All the bastards from the White Tiger Tower who spread false rumors should be locked up in the punishment room.’
Rumors were polluting the magical school, the sacred ground of learning.
“Where did you find that book?”
Lee Han was curious and asked.
I knew that the Black Turtle Tower students were actively wandering around looking for something useful, but I didn’t expect to find a book of black magic that emits curses.
“There is a bottomless hole area on the 4th floor of the library and I found it there.”
‘Just hearing the name gives me goosebumps.’
The magic school’s library was far from being a peaceful repository of knowledge.
Up to the 1st and 2nd floors, if people could set foot on them, the upper floors had to be regarded as dungeons or labyrinths.
The bottomless hole area, I could guess what kind of place it was just by hearing the name.
“I don’t know about other places, but why the library?”
“We are trying to complete the map of the school. If you have a map, it will be convenient in many ways.”
‘Oh…’
Lee Han exclaimed.
While the Blue Dragon Tower students were eating, sleeping, and playing cards, the Black Turtle Tower students were doing constructive work like that.
‘I want to switch with my kids.’
“I was looking for a book with a map of the school, and I found it, but it’s a shame that it’s not up to your level.”
Lee Han gave up trying to clear up the misunderstanding.
Even if I told you anyway, I wouldn’t believe it.
“Wardanaz. Can’t you read it at least once?”
A Black Turtle Tower student asked in a voice dripping with regret.
It was a book that I worked hard to get, but it hurt my heart to be treated so useless.
Originally, Lee Han would have read it to me, but…
“Didn’t that book emit a curse when I just opened the box?”
Cursed books are a different story.
Suffering the curse just to read a book you don’t know what it is is not a good calculation.
“If it’s your level, can’t you block and read the curse?”
“……”
Lee Han looked at the other person with suspicious eyes for a moment.
‘These bastards aren’t trying to assassinate me after being bought by the White Tiger Tower guys.’
“I’m sorry, but I’m not that good.”
“Isn’t it…”
The students of the Black Turtle Tower regretted it.
They thought it would be okay with Wodanaz even if they couldn’t touch it for a long time because of the curse.
“How do I lift the curse of magic absorption?”
“I don’t think it would be possible at our current level. If I ask the professor…”
“Will the professor just leave this alone?”
“for a moment.”
Lee Han, who was listening to the conversation of the Black Turtle Tower students, interrupted the conversation.
“What curse?”
“Curse of magic absorption. I heard this book absorbs mana.”
Books with bloody covers absorbed people’s mana just by being nearby.
It was a very tricky curse, as some of the Black Turtle Tower students collapsed while trying to read it.
“…give it to me. I will read it once.”
“As expected, Wodanaz. There is no need to pretend to be humble. I already know your abilities.”
“We have the ability, but we don’t like to be unnecessarily humble.”
Hearing the bullshit of the Black Turtle Tower students, Lee Han opened the box.
Indeed, the bloody book spewed out the curse of absorbing mana. Lee Han felt his mana slowly being sucked into the book.
And nothing happened.
‘also.’
There was no change even after wearing the magic absorption bracelet and belt, so holding another bloody book would make a difference.
Lee Han wasn’t even surprised.
< About the basic blood magic and its application >
Needless to say, the importance of reagents in magic. As the level of magic rises, the importance of the reagent, the master of magic, also increases. Among all the complex and diverse reagents, wizard’s blood is the most powerful and oldest reagent. Blood magic is a technique that uses this blood as a reagent to amplify magic power and use powerful magic that cannot be used normally. Before we begin, I’d like to point out some safety tips. The survival rate of new mages is less than 5%, but the survival rate can be increased to 7% if the following safety rules are followed. First of all, the day before using blood magic, you should eat bloody meat dishes, go to bed early, and drink as much water as possible before using magic…
Lee Han was surprised for two reasons.
One was that this was not a black magic book, but a blood magic book.
Both sounded evil just by hearing the name, but there was a slight difference.
Black magic was magic that had a decent place among the famous magic schools in the empire (although it wasn’t very popular), and blood magic was more of an arcane supplement to magic.
A technique that uses blood to amplify the amount of mana.
Of course, it was very dangerous, but the technique was right anyway.
It was really dangerous, but…
And the second reason Lee Han was surprised was that the handwriting of this book was the same as < About Basic Lightning Elemental Magic and Its Applications >.
‘Compared, the titles are similar.’
Both < Basic Lightning Elemental Magic and Its Applications > and < Basic Blood Magic and Its Applications > received from Professor Voladi had similar titles and the same font.
‘At first, I wondered if it was written by Professor Voladi, but Professor Voladi is never the kind of person to write in such detail. Who is it? Did a disciple write it?’
“how is it? Wodanaz? Are you interested?”
The Black Turtle Tower students asked with nervous expressions.
It seemed that Lee Han was quite concerned about not liking the magic book.
“It’s okay.”
“!”
“also…!”
One of the Black Turtle Tower students nodded happily.
He thought that there was no way Wardanaz would dislike such a dark magic book.
‘I must be thinking useless thoughts again.’
The reason Lee Han became interested in this book was simple. Of course, it wasn’t
because the spirit of challenging the blood magic, a dangerous vision that even the wizards of the empire were
reluctant to try.
Lee Han had no interest in blood magic. In the first place, he still has enough mana, so why amplify his mana while using blood?
The part that Lee Han was interested in was another part.
Here, I would like to introduce some magic that can be used assuming that you have used blood magic, although it is difficult to use it because of the high magical power requirements. Most of them were magic that was practiced in the empire because of their high magical power requirements, but the effect was by no means weak…
Magic was also fashionable and popular.
Magic that other wizards do not use is soon forgotten and disappears.
And magic that required a lot of mana was bound to be unpopular. Who would like magic that consumes too much mana?
But Lee Han was different.
‘I might rather use magic that consumes a lot of mana.’
If it was magic that consumed a lot of mana, there was a high possibility that detailed control would not be necessary.
He had little interest in blood magic and was more interested in magic that could only be cast by using blood magic.
“good. Let me go with you.”
Lee Han put the book into his arms. The students of the Black Turtle Tower were in awe at the sight of him casually putting the cursed book into his arms.
The real Wodanaz family is amazing!
‘Is it true that the rumors that you train while receiving curses from a young age are true?’
“But there are a few more conditions.”
“Tell me. I will listen to you if you can.”
“I am also exploring the school, but I need the help of seasoned thieves… no, seasoned friends.”
“Are you just a thief…?”
“for a moment. Wodanaz.”
Salcho interrupted his colleague’s question and interrupted.
“Aren’t there students in the tower of the blue dragon? Do you really need our help?”
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
‘That’s because their skills are incomparable…’
The students of the Black Turtle Tower, who have been involved in all sorts of criminal activities outside vs.
No matter how I thought about it, the former had no choice but to be smart.
But I can’t say that because my friends have face.
“Because it could be dangerous.”
At Lee Han’s words, Salco nodded as if he knew that.
“To not call my friends because it could cause problems later. respect.”
If you were caught wandering around the school at night, you were going to the punishment room.
It was Wodanaz who knew that, so he probably didn’t call the friends of the Blue Dragon’s Tower.
‘It’s not.’
“If you need help with your exploration, I will help.”
“Secondly, I want to share information about the map you guys are making.”
“……”
Salko pondered and nodded.
It was a pity to tell the map’s information to other top students, but Wodanaz was the one who deserved to share the map’s information.
And the most important thing right now was to treat Priest Muhadin.
“Finally…”
As Lee Han hesitated slightly, the Black Turtle Tower students were also nervous.
He wanted to be so hesitant because the boy of the Wodanaz family was about to make a request.
“…I will share the ingredients I find in the kitchen.”
“……”
“……”
I’m barely going to say that right now??
* * *
In the evening, thieves or students gathered in front of the main building.
Everyone here has been to Night School at least once.
Thanks to that, I was able to afford everything from the outfit to the movements.
“Please take good care of me. Mr. Wodanaz.”
Ratford, the most professional thief among thieves, greeted Lee Han.
There was no way the Black Turtle Tower students wouldn’t call Ratford for something like this.
Likewise, Lee Han, who was greeted warmly, hesitated.
“Did Nilia not come?”
“Because I didn’t call you?”
Ratford looked at Lee Han as if he was talking about something. Lee Han thought he would have to explain later.
“let’s go.”
I didn’t want to inflate the fantasies of the Black Turtle Tower students, but only Yihan and Ratford had been to the basement kitchen here.
Naturally, Lee Han did the explanation. The Black Turtle Tower student, who had the toughest status, also looked at Lee Han with a slight admiration.
How on earth did he check the school from where to where in that short period of time?
“There are various facilities in the basement, starting with the grocery warehouse, and the warehouse keeper is guarding them.”
“A warehouse keeper?”
“I’m blind with my eyes covered, but I have excellent detection skills. It should be seen that it is impossible to ostracize or hide the moment you encounter them once.”
Salko nodded and focused on Yihan’s words.
Then, all of a sudden, I had a question.
‘…But how did Wodanaz get out?’
Impossible, how?
“How did you guys get out of the way if you got caught walking around the library or somewhere else?”
Lee Han asked curiously.
Lee Han started with the belt of invisibility and there were various methods, but they probably weren’t students of the Black Turtle Tower.
Is there any special method?
“One came forward, lured them in, and was taken away. In the meantime, I averted my gaze.”
“……”
Lee Han admired the ignorant method.
I had to admit that it was ignorant but effective.
‘I’ll have to try it later when there are students from the White Tiger Tower.’
