Chapter 256
“It’s so hard to express the number 4!? hey! That’s 1!”
“Cainan Island. That’s not a 1, it’s a middle finger… no.”
Lee Han tried to give Gainando advice.
Being friendly with a summoned beast is also a wizard’s job.
It would be better for Gainando to realize on his own than for Lee Han to give advice.
‘And above all, it’s annoying.’
After submitting the assignment, Lee Han quickly turned around. The next task still remained like a mountain.
“Why do you keep counting 1… If you keep doing this, my friend, the terrifying archmage, won’t leave you alone! Lee Han? Lee Han!!”
Lee Han pretended not to hear and ran away.
* * *
“…what’s going on?”
Lee Han, who abandoned his Kainando and ran to the alchemy classroom, hesitated at the sight unfolding in front of him.
Other students taking an alchemy lecture were waiting in a long line in front of the Phoenix Tower students, led by Priest Cyana.
“Here it is.”
“Sobbing. priest. thank you There is only the priest.”
“You don’t have too much to do.”
“no! There is only one priest! So, if you could give me a little more…”
“No. sorry.”
“please! Just a little more please!”
Boos broke out among the students at the back of the line.
“Are you the only one doing the homework?!”
“Can’t it turn off quickly!? You look like a nasty bastard!”
“…????”
Behind the bewildered Yihan, Yoner appeared.
“It’s because of the assignment.”
“Because of an assignment?”
“huh.”
Drowsiness and fatigue piled up under Yoner’s eyes. Lee Han looked at his friend with a sad expression.
“Isn’t the assignment before the alchemy final more difficult than I thought?”
“It’s just too picky.”
The kind thunderstruck professor instructed me to make a potion of an appropriate level of difficulty as a pre-term assignment.
-Make Aurum’s golden potion. It’s not a very difficult potion, so you guys should be able to make it.
Of course, the students were not fooled.
The difficulty of making Aurum’s golden potion itself was not that high.
The preparation process is relatively simple, and there are few additional processes to be done…
However, the ingredients that go into it are terribly complex.
First, you have to make a base by mixing Lesser Mind Boost Potion and Setrivi’s Dew Potion, then add a mixture of Lesser Mind Boost Potion and Dobruk’s Droplet Potion, and then again use Lesser Mind Boost Potion and Belezen’s Potion. …
As long as you need another potion, ABCDE, etc., to make one potion, this potion has already become the main enemy of alchemists.
No matter how difficult the difficulty itself is, it is natural to make a few mistakes at the first year level, but if you make a mistake even once, you have to prepare a new potion from scratch.
Recreate the Lesser Mind Boost Potion, remake Setlibi’s Dew Potion, and Dobruk
‘s Blooddrop Potion … I’ll be able to’, but the students were already planning to drown Professor Thunderwalker in the cauldron.
“I heard that the Phoenix Tower priests have a lot of < Lesser Spirit Enhancement Potion >.”
“!”
Most denominations in the empire had these virtues as their banners, such as frugality and devotion to frugality.
As such, the Phoenix Tower students tended to adapt to Einrogard faster than anyone else.
Not only that, but he even gave it to other friends.
The life force of the Phoenix Tower students who grew up working in the temple was not too far behind compared to the Black Turtle Tower students.
– Would you like some dessert? There is a piece of black bread from school and coffee made with dandelion root.
-…Mah… I’m grateful, but Wodanaj will be waiting for you with dinner, but if you eat snacks, you’ll be disappointed!
And the place where this vitality was most evident was potion making.
As everyone grew up in the temple, even if they didn’t major in alchemy, they helped and heard a lot about potion making.
While the White Tiger Tower students searched for prey in the mountains and forests, and the Black Turtle Tower students raked in all sorts of rubbish to run the black market, the Phoenix Tower priests used to gather ingredients and make potions in their free time.
As such, there were quite a lot of < Lesser Mental Enhancement Potion > piled up…
When the situation came to this, I decided to give it to my friends without any conditions.
“Oh no!”
Yihan sighed after hearing the explanation from Yoner.
“I should have gone to the Phoenix Tower… Ah. sorry. Yoner. I’m not dissatisfied with the Blue Dragon’s Tower.”
“To be honest, I don’t think anyone would say anything if they were dissatisfied with what Leehan was doing…”
Yoner thought that if he had a conscience, the students of the Blue Dragon Tower should keep their mouths shut.
“And I’m very sorry too.”
“yes?”
Yihan and Yoner sighed together.
If you have surplus goods, you have to efficiently barter them to increase your capital.
Dirty students from other towers were taking advantage of the goodness of the Priests of the Phoenix Tower.
‘If I had been there, I would have led the way.’
After sighing, Lee Han lined up with Yoner.
It was a pity that it was a pity, and I had to take the potion if it was handed out.
“How many bottles of < Lesser Mind Enhancement Potion > would be enough?”
“Twenty bottles… no. I think even the 20th bottle would be a bit uneasy to be honest.”
“Will the finals be the same?”
“Yes…”
Yoner’s face darkened.
I was worried about how damn hard the final exam potion would be… or how difficult it would be if the assignment before the final was so dreadful.
However, Lee Han did not despair yet.
‘There is a way.’
It was Lee Han who had plans to go out this weekend.
If you go outside and buy all the useful alchemy ingredients and potions and come back in…
No matter what difficulty Professor Thunderwalker poses, half of them will be solved.
“Huh-huh…”
“Lee Han from the Wardanaz family?”
The Priests of the Phoenix Tower tilted their heads as Lee Han did not answer.
Yoner was a bit flustered and called out by tapping Lee Han on the shoulder.
“what’s the matter? Were you shocked by the assignment?”
“ah. It’s not like that…”
“Hurry up, take it!”
One of the White Tiger Tower students in line behind Lee Han grumbled. As Lee Han stared at him, the student averted his gaze.
“Priestess Cyana, a talented person like the bright morning star of the Flemain Church. Nice to meet you.”
“It’s nothing compared to Lee Han of the Wardanaz family, who is an insight and understanding of alchemy.”
Priestess Cyana welcomed them and started putting potion bottles in the basket one by one.
In no time, the basket is full…
and one more in the other basket…?
“?”
“??”
Yihan and Yoner looked at each other.
‘Looks like they’re giving more?’
‘It’s true that he’s giving a lot.’
“ruler. Take it.”
“Uh… Thank you.”
Lee Han was a little worried about whether he should say ‘I gave you a lot by mistake’ or just accept it.
However, the student who took it earlier shouted as if it was absurd.
“Priest! It looks like Wodanaz got twice as much as I did?!”
‘I think it’s three times as many.’
In fact, it seemed to me that I had caught the double as well.
“That’s right, it’s because the potion you just received was given by the priest, and what Wodanaz-nim received is the potion given by Priest Shiana, a bright and talented person like the bright morning star of the Church of Flemain.”
“……”
“……”
“Do you have any complaints? Give it back…”
“Oh no.”
The student who had just been questioned hurriedly came to his senses and stepped back.
“Priestess Siana, like Venus of the Flemain Church…”
“It’s too late now. next!”
Lee Han thought to himself.
‘Tsk tsk. I should have done it beforehand.’
It’s something I always feel, but there was nothing wrong with flattery in advance.
It was even more so when I saw them trying to do it late.
“Wardanaz…! To put even the priest on the palm of his hand…!”
“Did you wear your eyes as ornaments?”
Lee Han was dumbfounded by the reaction of the other top students.
No matter where you look at this, Lee Han is controlling Priest Shiana.
They didn’t do it beforehand!
* * *
Professor Rosine, who is in charge of the < Basic Imperial Language and Logic > lecture, praised the students as soon as they entered.
“and! Shiles students! Lightningwalker said that Professor Shiles was taking care of the horse and that it was in very good shape?”
“Thank you.”
“Asan students! I heard you brought a wonderful spirit. It’s great!”
“I was lucky. thank you!”
“Student Lee Han! Student Lee Han…”
Professor Rosine paused for a moment at Lee Han’s turn.
There are so many things to praise, and I’m confused about which one to choose.
“…Anyway, you’re doing great!”
“?!”
Lee Han was taken aback.
“What did I do wrong?”
“Well… well?”
After that, Professor Rosine praised the students even more before standing in front.
At Einrogard, the students, who rarely received compliments from their professors, glistened with self-esteem on their faces.
“professor. Are there any pre-term assignments for < Basic Imperial Language and Logic >?”
The professor happily replied in a bright, plump voice.
“ah! There are no pre-term assignments. Instead, here’s a simple test!”
“……”
“Oh no. I believe in Professor Fluwack.”
The students’ faces became sullen at the sudden surprise test.
Some students didn’t give up their faith, saying, ‘But Professor Rosine is different’…
“Come in.”
Hello everyone.
The impression of the students, who had just said, ‘But the professor is different’, suddenly changed to a hard look at the appearance of a huge demon spitting out a low-pitched voice full of pressure.
Anyway, the professors of Einrogard…!
“Should I fight cheaply? Isn’t fighting a test?”
“No way… No matter how much the professor would do that?”
“There are professors like that.”
“Don’t joke, Wardanaz! Not funny at all!”
“……”
Lee Han slightly regretted not taking his friends by force to Professor Voladi’s lecture.
“Here, Mr. Oripulas, is an excellent devil who served as an imperial judge for 131 years! What could have allowed such a powerful demon to serve as a judge?”
“Is this a contract?”
“It’s great! Applause everyone!”
The applause of the students was a bit weaker and less energetic than last time.
“Of course, Mr. Oripulas is a powerful demon. And it’s not easy for a wizard to make a contract with someone more powerful than himself! What should I do?”
“Uh… persuasion?”
“That is correct! Applause everyone!”
clap clap clap
“Today you are going to try out a mock contract against this Mr. Oripulas! Mr. Oripulas will seriously consider and evaluate the conditions you propose, so please do your best to make suggestions. Brilliant students like you can definitely do it!”
“????”
The students made faces that did not yet grasp the situation.
I’m glad we weren’t fighting…
How do I convince you?
“How do I convince you? Should I say I’m offering my heart and blood…?”
“Gold?”
“A friend’s life?”
“A friend’s deck of cards?”
“do you want to die?”
“First, ask what you like and have a casual conversation…”
In the meantime, one unlucky student sat down in front of Oripulas first.
Oripulas asked with a serious expression.
Why should I make a contract with you? A blue young wizard?
“That… that. Gold coins if you sign a contract with me…”
Gold coins? goldfinch?? Are you sane now? Did you evaluate me as a being who would help the wizard by signing a contract for only gold coins? How the hell did you see me?
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…!”
The student began to shed tears at Oripulas’ pressurized interview.
The rest of the students groaned.
This…
is not normal!
* * *
-The car card deck is…
-It’s not bad if it’s a joke, but it’s not worth it.
– We supply mana to make you stronger, and even potions if necessary…
-That’s only when you make a contract with someone weaker than you. What kind of demon would pass over if a being weaker than himself said such a thing? horsepower? It will be faster and stronger for me to get it myself than for you to give it. liquid medicine? What I make more than what you make…
-Sim… Do you like heart or blood?
– You should learn basic manners again.
‘It’s a big deal.’
Lee Han was also nervous as he watched his friends being swept away by the autumn leaves.
Oripulas was more picky than I thought.
I had no idea what the devil would like to suggest.
‘Carefully toss one at a time, trying to figure out the reaction. That’s all.’
“hello.”
hmm!
“First, let’s go over the basics. First of all, as a contractor, I will do my best to supply horsepower…”
Passed.
“…yes?”
