Chapter 321
Lee Han looked at Kainan-do in puzzlement.
“Why?”
“Ah… no. Aren’t you mad at me for eating too many snacks?”
“no.”
Lee Han sighed and approached the window.
and shouted
“You are the professor.”
“look! Because you’re a professor!”
Facing the ground, Professor Verdus struggled and shouted.
The knights under Allarron asked in bewilderment.
“But, Bocchan. Why is the professor sneaking in?”
‘That’s what I’m curious about.’
Lee Han thought so, but he held back and said good-bye.
“Perhaps there was a misunderstanding.”
“How could there be any misunderstanding…?”
Lee Han pretended not to hear the article’s question and ignored it. and asked the servant
“Did you do that because you said I wasn’t there?”
Given Professor Verdus’ personality, the possibility was high enough.
Even if Lee Han is not in the mansion, isn’t he the kind of person who will break through and wait for him to enter?
However, the servant’s answer was unexpected.
“Oh no. They just sneaked in without asking and got caught.”
“……”
Lee Han slightly pondered whether to just send Professor Verdus to the Grand Den City Guard.
* * *
After shaking off the dirt, Professor Verdus sat down and gnawed at the bark.
“So, are you ready to make artifacts?”
In the mansion, the knights grabbed him and slammed his face into the ground, but Professor Verdus didn’t care at all.
He only cares about artifact production.
Lee Han took off his pretense.
“Artifact creation? I don’t know what you mean.”
“uh? Didn’t you decide to do it together?”
“Because I have a bad memory…”
If it were the skeleton principal, he would have grabbed him by the collar, saying, “Where are you doing this?”
“ah. okay? The other day, you said you wanted to participate in artifact production. I was just incredibly passionate. It’s okay because I can do it now.”
“……”
As soon as he said that he had a bad memory, Lee Han was speechless at the sight of Professor Verdus openly lying.
What kind of person…
‘Ah.’
Only then did Lee Han recall the helmet of wisdom.
Come to think of it, no one was as expert as Professor Verdus when it came to artifacts.
“professor. Please look at this artifact here.”
“What?”
After receiving the helmet of wisdom, Professor Verdus looked around and answered immediately.
“It’s a nasty artifact. Cursed.”
“Is that so too? Is there any way to break the curse?”
“Do you think it will be difficult?”
There were two types of curses placed on artifacts.
One is that an evil curse has been put on a fine artifact.
In this case, if only the curse was lifted, the artifact could be used.
The other is an artifact created from scratch as a sinister construct.
In this case, it was meaningless to break the curse. The moment you solve it, the artifact’s power will disappear.
The Helm of Wisdom was typical of the latter.
“Ego Artifacts are usually barred from harming their owner, but this one has no such thing. If he wants anything, he will put his master in danger.”
“Is that so. I thought a professor might have a way.”
Lee Han muttered without thinking.
Then Professor Verdus suddenly shouted in a fit of rage.
“I didn’t say there was no way!”
“No… why are you angry?”
“Stay still!”
Professor Verdus put down the gnawed bark and began to stare at the helmet.
Lee Han was a little taken aback by the unexpected reaction. Gainando whispered from the side.
“Aren’t you too weak to provoke the professor?”
“Mmm.”
Certainly, if it was enough to hear that from Gainando, he was too weak to provoke.
However, Lee Han left Professor Verdus alone.
‘Isn’t it possible to change it to something useful?’
If that were the case, Lee Han intended to sell it with a modifier such as ‘the masterpiece of the whole body of Bible Verdus, the best artifact craftsman in Ein Rogard’.
“There is a way.”
“What is it?”
“It’s intentionally picking out information and taking away the ability to speak.”
“?”
Lee Han wondered what Professor Verdus was talking about.
“But you still have the ability to endanger your master, right?”
“You can avoid that on your own.”
“……”
No matter what the Helm of Wisdom says, if you don’t hide it, the listener will be able to judge calmly.
That was Professor Verdus’ argument.
‘Right… is that right?’
Although Lee Han felt that Professor Verdus’ logic had some truth, he somehow did not want to admit it.
But it was also true that it was better than not changing.
“hmm. Then let’s change it. How can I change it?”
“I need to cast some magic to dispel it and change the spell inside. If we start working on it, it will be finished by the time the sun rises in the morning.”
“What can I help you with?”
“you? I can’t help you.”
Professor Verdus answered honestly.
These were magic that Lee Han couldn’t do yet, and there was no need to make use of the characteristics with a lot of magic power.
“Is that so. Then I will go and sleep.”
“okay. go to bed.”
Professor Verdus forgot his original goal and waved his hand. Lee Han bowed politely and left the drawing room.
“I must go to bed. Sleep well everyone.”
“…uh… are you okay?”
“are you okay. are you okay.”
The servant was taken aback, but Lee Han said goodbye to his friends and went to his room to sleep.
The servant was confused when he saw Professor Verdus, who was left alone in the drawing room, holding on to his helmet.
Can I do this…?
Can it really be like this!?
* * *
Morning.
Professor Verdus asked while hitting the Helm of Wisdom.
“hey. Tell me your purpose.”
My goal is to increase my inner wisdom even if I destroy my master…
“That’s good.”
It was truly an amazing achievement.
To rewrite the performance of an artifact with an ego in just one night.
It was a great skill that even the average artisan of the artifact couldn’t even dare to dare.
Despite such an amazing achievement, Professor Verdus was not particularly impressed. After yawning once, he asked.
“Where is Wardanaz? I need to make an artifact.”
“Uh… Mr. Wardanaz went out with his friends 30 minutes ago. The professor seemed to be paying attention, so he said he wouldn’t interrupt.”
“……”
Professor Verdus frowned.
I don’t know, but I felt strangely deceived.
* * *
“Are you really okay?”
“I just happened to go out early.”
Lee Han answered like that.
If one day I had to work with Professor Verdus forcibly, it would have been better to postpone that time as much as possible.
Then, at least until then, wouldn’t we be able to use it to survive?
Ratford glanced back worriedly. Apparently, he was worried about Professor Verdus’ reaction.
“Today, Guinan said let’s stay at home.”
“really?!”
Gainando’s eyes lit up.
Last time, other members of the imperial family, who were not close to each other, came to disturb them, but this time the story was different.
You can invite your friends and play very well.
Gainando wriggled his fingers and touched the deck of cards in his bosom.
Just as Lee Han, the head of the grade, could easily recite the contents of the magic book even with his eyes closed, Gainando could easily recite a list of games to enjoy even with his eyes closed.
Wizard card game Gyeokgu Petanque Fighting horseback riding…
‘I shouldn’t play chess because Lee Han is too strong.’
“Ratford. Did you bring it?”
“yes.”
“Yoner. Did you say you have it too?”
“Because I always carry it with me.”
“!!”
The other friends’ conversations made Kainando even more excited.
It was clear that his friends had brought wizard cards with them.
“Did you bring it?!”
“of course. I need something to do when I get to your house.”
Lee Han answered and took out a book from his bag.
It was < About basic dark element magic and its applications >.
“……”
Cainando’s face was distorted with sadness and bewilderment.
“what’s the matter?”
“Uh… nothing…”
“You brought a book too, didn’t you? Guinan Island? Let’s study dark magic together.”
“I’m also going to study something I’ve been putting off for today.”
“It’s nice to study together like this.”
Looking at Lee Han and Ratford Yoner, who were laughing and talking amicably, Gainando wept inwardly.
‘Magic isn’t everything in life…!’
* * *
‘I see why the dark element is difficult.’
Lee Han, who rented a private room, closed his eyes and focused on the dark element.
The basis of elemental magic is to feel the element and clearly materialize it.
The dark element wasn’t too difficult in that respect. In fact, this was a difficult part for other wizards, but Lee Han had a different specific idea in his head than other wizards.
Just as this idea was helpful in dealing with the lightning element, so it was with the dark element.
The problem was then.
‘Similar to the flame element.’
The water element was less likely to injure its owner if it was out of control, and the lightning element disappeared before it increased even if it was out of control, but the dark element was not.
If it fails to control, it hurts its owner and doesn’t disappear.
If these elements make a mistake, just like the fire elements did…
Whoaaaaagh!
The private room, where bright light came in through the window, suddenly became dark.
It wasn’t natural darkness. It was an artificial darkness created by magic. Inside it, negative energy wriggled and a cold chill lingered somewhere.
Lee Han threw the leaves he had prepared.
Then the vitality of the leaves faded and in an instant they turned into dead leaves.
It was a characteristic of the dark element that depleted vitality.
‘…If I move, I’ll collapse.’
For warlocks who deal with dark elements, the accident of depleting their life force and falling down is like a companion. First of all, you need to pay attention to this point.
Of course, the power of the first dark element learned is very weak. You can stay in such darkness for hours and not breathe. So, first we have to start by strengthening the power of the dark element…
“?”
Lee Han looked at the dead leaves that had just been touched by the dark element.
And I looked at the dark element strengthening part.
‘I can skip this part.’
…Thus, if the power of the dark element has been sufficiently strengthened, the foundation for full-fledged elemental magic has now been established. The key to the operation of dark elemental magic is that the wizard must be able to control the nature of the vitality drain. If he can’t do that, the wizard
wields a sword that can even cut himself…
After reading a book that was needlessly detailed, Lee Han summoned the dark element again.
In a word, if you are a wizard who handles the dark element, you should not be affected at all even if you put your hand into that element.
‘After all, you have to be able to control your own characteristics…’
The power of magic goes up in proportion to magic power.
And going up together is the control difficulty.
The dark element was more difficult for Lee Han, who had not been able to fully handle the fire element yet, so he wore and handled various artifacts.
That said, I can’t get rid of the magic I have…
‘Until I control it, I have no choice but to treat it as the size of an ember like a fire element? Unlike the fire element, the dark element doesn’t seem to have any meaning then.’
“Leehan! Lee Han!”
Kainando knocked on the door of the private room. Lee Han closed the book and answered.
“How many hours have you studied?”
“…Now that doesn’t matter! Good jobs are rolling in! They say only warlocks can do it!”
‘…could that be a good thing?’
Lee Han had a moment of doubt.
