Chapter 302
“I keep staring at you. What if he glared at me like that every time he came?”
As Gainando whined, Lee Han came up with a good idea.
It was something I had already said to Asan.
“You can just leave the mansion.”
“uh?”
“What if I go outside?”
“Oh… do you want to play with me?”
“If you want.”
Kainando’s face brightened. Seeing that, Ratford felt sorry for him.
‘Maybe it’s a little different from what you think…’
* * *
Lee Han, who called Asan as he said it, moved along with his friends.
Gainando asked with a look of great anticipation.
“Are you going to buy a wizard card?”
“no.”
“Are you going to buy the new magazine?”
“It’s not.”
“Then where are you going?”
“The Richmond family.”
“???”
Gainando and Asan tilted their heads at Lee Han’s words.
It was not a family with a familiar name, but it took time to accept it.
As for the Richmond family…
“Where were you?”
“You don’t know the Richmond family?”
Lee Han looked at his friends as if they were dumbfounded. My friends were intimidated like students who failed an extremely easy test question.
“I’m sorry. Where did the Richmond family come from?”
“They’re the family that runs one of the leading wagon transport guilds in the empire.”
“……”
“……”
How do you know that!
While the two were bewildered, Yoner nodded as if he understood.
“ah. that’s right. It did.”
“look. You know Yoner. It’s strange that you don’t know that.”
“……”
“……”
While Asan and Gainando were at a loss for words, the party arrived at their destination.
The building of the Richmond Transport Guild, located on the outskirts of the city, resembled a huge warehouse.
“Hey kid! Can’t you see the carriage is here right now!”
“That’s what I’m going to say! If you don’t move the wagon right away, I’ll send you to the temple!”
The coachman in charge of the wagon was struggling to get the wagon into the warehouse as quickly as possible, and the guild staff moved without stopping for even a second to lower and raise the box.
“It looks like Yoner’s mansion.”
“?!”
Yihan’s murmur startled Yoner.
‘Did my house look so cluttered…?’
When Yoner returned to the mansion, he vowed to make sure not to make too many people wait in front of the mansion.
“The carriage to the city of Kvalgen is over!”
“depart! depart!”
“Shiles?”
“?!”
Shiles of the Richmond family, who was shouting among the workers, was startled when his friends came.
* * *
“Thank you very much. Wodanaz.”
Shiles held out his pockets in a heartfelt thanks.
Lee Han was impressed by the sincerity of the other party who gave money right away without any hassle.
‘Other friends should also follow this.’
“what’s the matter?”
As Lee Han glanced at them, his friends were puzzled.
“It is nothing. really. Shiles. There is something I would like to discuss with you.”
“To me? tell me anything.”
Shiles was a little surprised.
What would Lee Han of the Wodanaz family ask him to do? I couldn’t even guess what it would be like.
‘Are there things that need to be transported secretly?’
There are important items that need to be moved undetected by people in one’s family…
“Does the city know of any lucrative short-term jobs for wizards?”
“…Uh… Uhm??”
Shiles was taken aback.
Lee Han’s words were so unexpected.
But Lee Han was serious.
‘A good job must be found in advance.’
Wizards were always high-quality workers, but there weren’t many places where they could work.
To be precise, the wizard’s ransom was too high.
It was possible to shorten the time in an instant by calling an excellent wizard to unload and load the packed goods in the wagon behind him…
but then the labor cost would soon come out more than the profit.
There are many places where you can work, but there are only a few places where a wizard can work while receiving silver coins that match the ransom.
Besides, there were quite a few students from Ein Lorgard in Granden City, excluding Lee Han.
Considering the number of seniors, decent short-term jobs will disappear in an instant.
‘I have to find it as soon as possible.’
“You’re joking…”
Shiles said, but hesitated when he saw Lee Han’s burning eyes.
Those were definitely not the eyes of a person joking.
‘No, why do the students of the Blue Dragon Tower want to work…’
It was not surprising that the students of the Black Tortoise Tower, or the Phoenix Tower, or the White Tiger Tower would seek work.
Because a lot of people actually did.
As the price of living in Granden City was high, it was rare for students to not work at all during vacation.
But the Blue Dragon Tower students…
don’t you think that’s necessary?
“First of all… I don’t know much either. I only listened to what my friends and guild staff said.”
“Anything is fine. tell me.”
“Uh, a carriage escort or something like that, right?”
The lands of the Empire were vast, and traveling long distances was naturally risky.
From monsters to bandits.
Naturally, the coachman was not alone in the wagon procession, but escorts followed.
Cheap cargo was fine, but when moving expensive and important items, high-class personnel such as wizards would also participate.
“A little bit. If you participate incorrectly, you won’t be able to make it to the start of the next semester.”
“That… that’s right. They say there is a job teaching people who are good at magic…”
Lee Han nodded and took notes.
It was definitely a pretty good thing.
Not everyone was talented enough to enter the Imperial Magic School. Some people, even though they had a gift for magic, didn’t realize it and just lived with it.
Sometimes, among those people, there were cases where they decided to learn magic even belatedly.
Classes were also diverse. adventurer mercenary merchant sailor explorer and so on.
Teaching magic to such people was quite popular with the students of Einrogard.
“for a moment. We are in first grade, can we teach?”
“For now, they say that a freshman in Einrogard is enough.”
“Right. next?”
“Oh no. more here?”
Shiles squeezed his head as much as he could at Yihan’s eyes.
“Ah, this doesn’t happen all the time, but they say requesting materials is good.”
“A request to gather materials?”
Lee Han hesitated.
Usually, such things were done by less experienced adventurers or errand runners.
Of course, it’s a high-difficulty material with a huge prize money and senior adventurers come forward… but
there was no way that such a request would be popular among students.
“Isn’t that something other people can do?”
“ah. They say there are ingredients that only wizards can gather.”
‘aha.’
Lee Han understood.
Among the materials, there were also materials that could only be fully mined using magic.
“Shales. If a request like this comes out, be sure to tell me.”
“No… why the hell… that’s right. i get it. That’s about it because I owe a lot.”
“By the way, are there any more?”
“……”
Shiles squeezed his hair again desperately.
I’m not crazy because I can’t work, what the hell…
“Right! There is also a job to assist the wizard with his experiments!”
“That’s kind of it.”
“?!”
Shiles was taken aback when Lee Han immediately refused.
“why? I heard that this is a very good job.”
“Shales. An unfamiliar mage should be wary of first. You know what experiments to do.”
Lee Han said very seriously.
In fact, I was very worried about Shiles’ complacent perception as he was struggling after meeting a strange wizard by mistake.
Even an experiment with an ordinary name like < Basic Magic Battle Repetitive Experiment > could turn into a bizarre experiment in which all sorts of attacks would be fired at the test subjects once they actually participated.
“Ah… no. Wodanaz. Of course, he is an unfamiliar wizard, but he is a wizard who has built up trust and a name in the city. Not a criminal wizard with a bounty. There’s no way you can do a strange experiment…?”
“no.”
Lee Han replied firmly.
“can do. Remember. Got it?”
“Ughhhhh…”
Shiles nodded, overwhelmed by Yihan’s force.
I still couldn’t understand the logic, but Lee Han’s voice contained sincerity that transcended logic.
“But assisting a wizard in his experiments is a really good job. Wodanaz. It’s not like you can get it right away just because you want to get it… Wouldn’t it be better to listen to the contents of the experiment and choose a good one?”
The wizard’s experiments were not necessarily dangerous.
Observation or recording of unusual magical phenomena occurring in the vicinity of the city also entered the experimental aid.
“i get it. If you say that, let’s consider it.”
“No, it’s really okay…”
Lee Han raised his head and asked after roughly tidying up.
“So, Shiles. What are you doing in any of these?”
“me? I can’t because I’m busy. I have to help with the guild work.”
Lee Han was open-minded.
In fact, the blue bird might have been nearby.
“Does the transport guild work make money?”
“no. I can’t get paid, but I do it because it’s our family business.”
“Oops. Shiles. Working unpaid is a bad idea, even for a family member. You are undermining your value.”
“…Oh no… It’s our family business…?”
Yihan gave this advice and was about to stand up, but one of the guild members ran up and said to Shiles.
“young master. I was urgently looking for a wizard on the upper side next to the reagent stock clearance issue. How about you go see it? It was quite salty.”
“no. look at our warehouse I have to finish cleaning it up today. Can’t you see the coachmen are starting a riot right now?”
“It was fine. that request. We take it.”
“?!”
“??!”
Shiles was taken aback by Lee Han’s words, and the guild members were taken aback, and Lee Han’s friends behind him were also taken aback.
“Wardanaz you?”
“Isn’t the pay good if a wizard is needed?”
“Oh no. The pay is fine, but it must be boring and annoying.”
“Payment is important. Then can I take it?”
“Uh… uh.”
Lee Han stood up, took the paper, and left leisurely. Friends followed after him.
The guild member, whose mouth was still wide open, finally came to his senses and asked.
“Ah… no. young master. Are those friends aristocrats? But why?”
Shiles deeply sympathized with the guild member’s words.
That’s right!
* * *
“A wizard and also a student of Einrogard? You are unconditionally welcome!”
The top employee, who was shouting excitedly, raised his head and was surprised.
‘They’re nobles!?’
“…Do you know what I’m doing in our upper ranks?”
“Isn’t it rummaging through the warehouse to check reagents and organize inventory?”
“That’s right… you must be bored. It won’t be fun…”
“But the pay is good.”
“It is, but… I wish you all the best.”
Lee Han and the others headed to the warehouse.
Nilia Ratford Yoner didn’t think much of it, but Gainando and Asan were still in a state of panic.
“Why are you doing this?”
“Eh… I guess it’s because I studied magic. If it is wordanaz, it must be.”
While the two were whispering, I saw familiar faces in front of the warehouse.
It was Salco’s gang.
“!!”
Salco and his friends were surprised to see Lee Han and his friends.
“Wodanaz! What did you come here for?”
“I came to work.”
“You…”
Salko, speechless for a moment, exclaimed in a voice of admiration.
“… is a really great guy!”
“Are we really working?”
Guinando’s whispers were scattered in vain.
