Chapter 359 The
reason black magicians stay near graveyards isn’t because they like graveyards.
Of course, some eccentric warlocks liked cemeteries, but few wizards dared to choose a cold, dismal graveyard over a warm, cozy fireplace.
The reason black magicians stayed near the graveyard was because it was advantageous to black magic.
By becoming accustomed to the energy of death, you can become familiar with undead summons, you can gain additional magic for various black magic, and above all, you can experiment with magic without paying attention to others… …Actually, the last reason was quite important
.
Most people didn’t want warlocks doing research next door.
Even the warlocks themselves did not want to study in the courtyard of their mansion.
When all sorts of poisons were sprayed on the plants and the undead trampled on the grass, no matter how beautiful the courtyard was, it was bound to turn into a graveyard.
Even more so if it is the mansion of a prestigious and historically great family…
“Ah. Are you here?”
Lee Han, who was controlling the undead in the garden in front of the mansion, was happy to see Diret.
The undead lowered their heads in a slow and awkward motion. Seeing this, Dietrich was astonished.
‘In the meantime?!’
I knew that Lee Han was having trouble controlling the undead.
In a way, it was natural.
It was just a first year student trying to control the undead in the style of classic black magic.
Rather, it was a great thing to make it move like that.
“How did you make it move?”
“ah. We are still far away. Originally, I had to move sophisticatedly…”
Originally, the refined standard was to elaborately weave dozens and hundreds of commands into one.
It was as easy as breathing for a living creature to walk, but making a skeleton warrior who had no intention to walk required dozens of hundreds of detailed instructions such as ‘Strengthen the metatarsal bones’, ‘Give strength to the calf bones’ and ‘Transmit it to the thigh bones’. I needed a dog.
Of course, you can’t do all of this one by one, so the wizard had to be able to weave these dozens and hundreds of commands into one and command ‘walk’.
All of that complex magic flow and understanding was absolutely not something a first year student could achieve through trial and error. A lot of experience was essential.
So Lee Han mobilized an expedient.
“I just put more magic into it.”
“…!”
Instead of giving detailed instructions one by one, he pours out the command ‘walk’ with incredibly strong magic.
Of course, the effect was disastrous.
Actually, the undead were incredibly slow.
It would have been much faster if I had given detailed instructions one by one.
But the important thing was that it moved.
Having made it move once, it was possible to adapt to it sensibly while repeating it. Even that junior doesn’t have enough magic power even if he wastes such nonsense.
It might be a much quicker way than overtaxing my brain by calculating each command.
“A very good way?”
“Senior…”
Lee Han looked at Dereth with a slightly hurt expression. Diete was perplexed.
“why?”
“I’m not a fool, and I can’t understand what I don’t mean to say. You don’t have to force praise like that.”
“no!”
Dereth was very upset.
Of course, it’s an ignorant method, but in the end, he said he liked it because it was good, but this junior!
“Because it is not!”
“yes. If you are a senior, then that would be it.”
At the words of a junior who made him a ‘bad senior who suppresses juniors with authority’, Diret’s wings trembled in resentment.
In the meantime, Lee Han stole the luggage that Diret had brought with him.
“I will listen. What is this?”
“ah. That visit gift…”
Lee Han glanced inside the box. It was full of unidentified bones.
When I felt the mana, I felt the mana of Saihan Yin.
“Thank you very much. senior. I never thought I would receive a present like this…”
“Really?”
Dereth made a slightly embarrassed expression. It was a gift that I thought about and chose, but I didn’t know that my junior would like it this much.
“Please sit here. I will prepare something to drink.”
“Ah, me too…”
“I came as a guest, but I can’t. But other people…”
“They are also juniors who listen to black magic.”
“indeed!”
Lee Han’s eyes flashed in an instant.
They are seniors of the same school.
…Coming to think of it, Lee Han had no choice but to meet the seniors of all schools, but anyway, the seniors of the same school always looked good, so it wasn’t bad.
“Everyone please sit down. I’ll bring you something to drink soon.”
“That’s right.”
“Ker Kerr. Well… not bad.”
The dark magic school students did their best to reveal that ‘I’m very used to this kind of treatment’.
Of course, everyone looked awkward, which made Lee Han think differently.
‘Are you feeling unwell?’
As Lee Han politely bowed his head and disappeared, the dark magic school students who had been sitting in awkwardly arrogant postures immediately relaxed and whispered.
“What?? Have you ever cursed yourself?”
“Isn’t that a threat?”
“……”
Diret regretted having brought these bastards for nothing.
“That’s right now…”
“The Tower of the Blue Dragon, and it’s also strange that a member of the Wodanaz family learns black magic! Why are you so polite!?”
“It gives me goosebumps to see a student in the Tower of the Blue Dragon like that???”
“Isn’t it the tower of the blue dragon?”
The students of the school of black magic whispered.
Basically, the Blue Dragon Tower students did not learn black magic.
Why would people who have a lot of external concerns, such as honor and face, learn black magic?
Even if he was a really unusual Blue Dragon Tower student, the problem still remained.
Why are you so polite?
‘surely.’
Diret could understand the embarrassment of his juniors.
Basically, the students of the magic academy didn’t bother to be so polite unless they were their top seniors.
At least I wasn’t being rude because I could be beaten like a dog in a magic school, but outside there were many cases of ignoring me with ‘Do you know me?’
This was especially true of the students of the Blue Dragon Tower.
I walk with my head down because I’m scared inside, but what’s the point of doing that outside?
In the first place, not only did they rarely meet each other, but when they did meet, they just ignored them and did their own thing, the students of the Blue Dragon Tower.
And it couldn’t have been any better.
It’s better to growl and shoot at me like a white tiger tower…
“Meet me in the punishment room. We became close while serving meals in the punishment room.”
“A senior?”
“Uh… no… he took care of it.”
“……”
“…????”
The juniors looked at Diret with a mixture of astonishment, suspicion, and bewilderment.
How did you make a blue dragon tower student from a great family go to the punishment room?
No matter how hard I tried to believe it, only one came to mind.
‘It’s a curse. It’s 100% cursed.’
‘no. It’s poison. Poison is cleaner and more undetectable than curse. On the condition of giving an antidote every week…’
‘Shouldn’t we stop Senior Diret? If there’s another article in the imperial newspaper…’
“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but everyone should be wrong. You bad boys.”
* * *
As Lee Han personally brought a teapot and a glass bottle of juice cold enough to form dew, and served them, the students of the Dark Magic School looked at Lee Han with pity.
“?”
“Junior… Please explain. This bird… these guys know I’m threatening you.”
“What nonsense… I’m not being threatened.”
Even at Lee Han’s words, the students of the black magic school nodded their heads with sad eyes saying, “Yes, that’s right.”
“…I don’t think any explanation will be meaningless?”
“I’m crazy for bringing you here. What do you like about these guys… Did you call the other first graders?”
“yes. I called.”
After hearing the purpose of today’s meeting, Lee Han called other friends.
Come to think of it, the prince was among them.
‘…A senior will solve misunderstandings on his own.’
Lee Han left it to Diret to take care of it. honestly it was annoying.
“Can I ask you a few questions?”
“yes.”
Lee Han felt that not all of the seniors in the seat were favorable to him.
It was natural.
In any world, if there are people who view newcomers favorably, there are also people who view them hostilely.
What the newcomer is thinking, how sincere he is, and so on.
I had to show my true self at this time so things would be much easier in the future.
‘I’m ready.’
Lee Han was also aware of his weaknesses.
The fact that we are listening to the magic of too many schools.
…This wasn’t intentional, but it could look a little bad anyway.
However, Lee Han was confident enough to make up for this.
To be honest, there is no freshman who works as hard on black magic as Lee Han.
“Seeing earlier, they summoned the skeletons. Is that okay in the front yard of the mansion? Will the front yard get dirty?”
“It’s even better when it’s dirty. It will come in handy when practicing black magic.”
“…Looking at it earlier, it seems like you summon the undead in a slightly different way?”
“yes. I had a lot of interest in black magic, and I had a desire to make new discoveries by directly researching black magic, which is not often used now. Fortunately, Professor Mortum appreciated my greed, so I was able to practice like this.”
It was packaged as Lee Han’s own volunteer, forced by Headmaster Skeleton and Professor Mortum.
The dark magic school students who didn’t know that just looked at Lee Han with amazement.
Why is such a talented person involved in black magic?
“joy.”
However, unlike the other students, the senior who asked the question did not go over easily.
He shook his head a few times as if he was different from other people, and then asked more persistent questions.
“Anyone can have greed. What matters is how you achieve it. I wonder if the basics are doing well. Do you know how to curse?”
“yes.”
“Poison?”
“I can make sangong poison.”
Dereth intervened from the side.
“I know how to handle the dark element.”
“…!”
At that, the senior made a surprised expression and nodded heavily.
It wasn’t verbal, but it was a sign of surrender that he had nothing more to ask.
“Sorry. Junior. Ogoldos isn’t really that picky.”
Derrett took Lee Han out briefly while the other students were drinking and apologized privately.
“I am very sincere about black magic. That’s why I don’t like it when new juniors touch me for a while and then disappear.”
“I understand. You may be.”
To be honest, I didn’t feel too bad about a senior like Ogoldos.
The real lunatics are on the professor’s side, but seniors cannot become real lunatics no matter how much they fly and crawl.
“…Sometimes, I wonder if I’m actually threatening him with poison. An admirable junior like you is into black magic…”
“But I’m listening to all other magic as well.”
“I know, so be quiet.”
Diret explained how often these gatherings usually happen and why.
Warlock students exchange information, share useful jobs or opportunities during vacation…
“Yes. I heard a rumor that the professors fought on the street to drag you away. Is that a fake?”
“no. It’s real. By the way, where is Professor Mortum?”
“Professor Mortum? When we meet, he’s usually in Granden City. … wait for a sec. Is it real?”
“Are you in the city of Grande Den? Why?”
“If you need help with your magic research, don’t be afraid to call them to the meeting. But usually, we don’t talk much about magic research even at gatherings. hey. Junior. But just now…”
“…Senior. Wait a minute.”
Lee Han felt uncomfortable and blocked Diret’s words.
Professor Mortum wasn’t around, but I felt like I heard a strange voice.
A voice that said, ‘Call me too’!
