Chapter 369
Of course, Lee Han’s question didn’t mean much.
If they had acted with common sense in the first place, they wouldn’t have fought sparring at the duke’s mansion.
“I will teach you my secret skill, so please compare it with the secret skill you just learned.”
“……”
Lee Han was already starting to get annoyed at what to say.
‘From now on, I really shouldn’t get involved with knights.’
* * *
Surprisingly, apart from what I thought was annoying, the knights’ draw was more useful than I thought.
From the technique of quickly pulling out a knife hidden inside the coat and stabbing it instantly (not only quickly pulling it out, but also skillfully hiding it in the coat was important) to the technique of instantly making the sword elastic like a whip to confuse the opponent.
Of course, if you see an article like Allarron, you will lament, ‘You don’t need to learn to grip like that!’, but Lee Han had a different mindset from Allarron.
Of course, when you reach the level, you won’t need to use those miscellaneous skills, but wouldn’t they be useful before that?
“So whose secret skill is the most…?”
“hmm. You can say everyone is a winner.”
“Ohhh!”
The drivers, who were nervously waiting for Lee Han’s evaluation, applauded and respected each other.
Seeing that it ended happily, Lee Han opened his mouth to really leave.
“Then stop…”
“Ah. Please wait a moment.”
“?”
When the knights called again, Lee Han hesitated.
Now it was to the point where I was afraid whenever the knights called.
To say something else…
“There is a gathering of knight families soon, and I would like to invite Wodanaz. If you tell me what happened today, everyone will be sincerely impressed.”
“……”
It was the first time I had ever been to a place I didn’t want to go to.
For a moment, Lee Han almost became serious.
‘Why are you going there?’
It’s not even a knight’s family in the first place!
Of course, the knights had pure good intentions to spread the knowledge of Lee Han’s generosity by letting other knights know about what happened today… but it
was a nuisance to Lee Han.
“Oops. It’s a pity. I will be in Ein Lorgard at that time.”
“Oh no!”
The knights were truly sorry.
If you listen, knights from other families will want to see Lee Han in person…
“Ah! I will seek permission directly from Lord Gonadaltes.”
“haha. Try it.”
“What did you just say…?”
“I would be grateful if you could. As a student, I can’t say I’ll go out on my own, but if an outsider recommends it, the principal might change his mind.”
“Okay!”
The drivers promised to come and talk to me in the second semester.
When he was finally freed from the knights, Lee Han let out a deep, dark sigh. Giselle, who was watching from the side, asked as if she didn’t understand.
“You don’t want to go to the meeting?”
“…?”
Lee Han stared at Giselle, wanting to say something.
Why would you want to go to that meeting?
In the worst case, the knights of the Beech Tree Knights could be in ambush, saying, ‘Kuh-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-e-in-ro-gard.
“Is there any reason you want to go?”
“…isn’t it an opportunity to get closer with the families?”
The Beech Tree Knights were a knighthood with other strengths, even though they lacked a bit of strength.
Considering the names of the families of knights attending the gathering, there was nothing wrong with being acquainted with them.
Moreover, from what the knights said, it seemed highly likely that he would become the star of the gathering that day, rather than just a participant in the gathering.
Giselle would crawl out of the magic academy even if she broke both legs in a position where she could be in the limelight.
“What do I do when I participate?”
“If you need something, you can use it.”
“…Where do I use it?”
If it was a guild family like this, such as a wizard family or, at least, construction, transportation, and baking, Lee Han would have been tempted.
– A family with a reputation as a baker… Do you have any short-term jobs for a senior mage from Einrogard who has a permit from the Afha Church, who is confident in firepower?
However, the family of knights was really nothing for Lee Han to see.
It wasn’t that he had a lot of money, and it wasn’t that Lee Han needed more swordsmanship teachers…
Giselle was unusually taken aback by Lee Han’s question.
It was such a natural question to Giselle that she couldn’t figure out what she was asking.
“What…? You can intervene in the affairs of the empire or intervene politically when you have the necessary interests, right?”
“That much?”
“……”
Of course, he must have been thinking the same thing, but when the opponent suddenly pretended to be innocent, Giselle was furious.
“What are you pretending not to know?”
“…I made a joke.”
Lee Han decided to just pass it on because he didn’t think the other person would believe him no matter what he said.
“I knew it would.”
‘I know how to do that, but I know how to do that.’
As Lee Han returned to the banquet hall with Giselle, he suddenly remembered and asked.
“By the way, do knights’ meetings give me souvenirs with high monetary value like here?”
* * *
“Everyone had a hard time.”
“What is suffering?”
“I ate deliciously and received these things, but what a struggle.”
“Wardanaz. You… have to get to the top.”
The Black Turtle Tower students praised Lee Han with satisfied faces after a long time.
And handed over a silver coin.
“okay. Good luck everyone.”
The students of the Black Turtle Tower, who had eaten their fill and received gold ornaments, went home happy.
“……”
“……”
The Priests of the Phoenix Tower who saw that said in bewilderment.
“We don’t have silver coins…”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Did you just invite me?”
“Did you just get the silver coin?”
“You must have seen it wrong.”
“In the silver coin pocket…”
“Isn’t it wrong to pay back the borrowed money? ruler. come back soon If you come back too late, the temple will worry about you.”
The priests hesitated, wondering if they were the only ones treated for free, but Lee Han quickly pushed them away.
‘The income is fine.’
Black Turtle Tower students, as well as gold souvenirs.
Lee Han slightly raised his evaluation of the duke.
Although he acted eccentric and strange in many ways, he did not forget to treat the students who came with all his heart.
‘Maybe I thought too badly. But he might be a person with the basics.’
“Mrs. Wardanaz.”
“ah.”
Lee Han, who found Rowena, reached out his hand.
“???”
The black-haired elf tilted his head before shaking hands.
“Did you have a hard time…?”
“no. Give me the money you got from the duke.”
“ah.”
A gold coin given as a gift to the princess by the duke when the riddle is solved.
Since the gold coins could be shared among followers, there was no reason to wear them unless they participated.
“But the princess wondered why she called earlier…”
“What? I don’t know. Have you ever been like that?”
“You called earlier…”
“Wait a minute. Check it out.”
Lee Han checked the gold coin with extreme concentration in the pocket Rowena gave him.
It was a concentration similar to when avoiding Professor Voladi’s attack.
‘It’s the amount of anger that dissolves.’
It was a riddle, a bothersome bravado, and all of it was an amount that could be respected as ‘the law has meaning in the customs of the empire’.
Lee Han put his pocket inside his coat and nodded.
“thanks. You suffered too.”
“I haven’t done much. But really, why didn’t you take out this wand…?”
Lee Han lied because he thought telling the truth would hurt his followers.
“I heard that His Highness the Duke developed a fear of canes. So I just explained what kind of wand it was.”
“…it’s really unbelievable!”
“yes. Isn’t that what the world usually does?”
“Somehow, you seemed to have had a bad complexion earlier… but it’s really amazing that you finished it so calmly.”
“His Highness the Duke is ashamed, so don’t spread rumors. got it?”
“of course.”
Rowena nodded her head in emotion that Lee Han had believed and told her.
Wasn’t it because he thought that among the many followers of the princess, he only told Rowena that he was the most trustworthy!

“Do I have to dress like this?”
Gainando asked with tears in his eyes.
An undead overlapping phenomenon invited by Professor Mortum.
The seniors gave some advice as if they were very concerned about the first year students participating.
– Participate in the following attire. And what else do you need… A backpack and plenty of fresh water.
-(Lee Han) Can’t we summon water?
-It will be difficult to summon water because of the lack of magic power, and it will be damaged quickly because of the magic power that spreads throughout the system. It takes several times as much mana to purify it.
-oh. Then I guess I don’t have to take care of it.
-Are you rebelling against your senior?
-?!
There were several helpful tips, one of which was about clothing.
Specifically…
“It’s like a farmer.”
“not bad.”
In fact, when walking around the city, it was better to dress like a farmer than to dress like a warlock.
When a farmer walks around, people are happy, saying, ‘He must have come to the city with rice and wheat’, but when a warlock walks around, people will be shocked, saying, ‘He must have brought a corpse to the city’.
“It’s an outfit for a reason.”
Diret yawned and walked from behind.
He looked like a farmer with twenty years of experience, wearing a shabby hat and dragging a magically animated cart behind him.
“The moment you go in and pretend to be a warlock, the undead start attacking right away. Until the moment it is necessary, I will not use black magic as much as possible.”
The undead of the dimension they were about to enter did not like intruders.
As such, it was advantageous for warlocks to hide their identities as much as possible.
The reason for entering the undead world was to gather useful materials and reagents, because the goal was not to fight the undead and make a life-or-death decision.
“But why like a farmer?”
Lee Han asked, puzzled.
I’m guessing there are several other harmless-looking outfits out there?
“Clothes are cheap. It’s okay to carry heavy things and it’s okay to get dirty.”
“indeed.”
“What is it really!”
Gainando grumbled, but Yihan and Diret ignored it.
“really. Since you guys gave me the unusual permission… I’m only going to District 1 to take care of it. got it?”
“yes.”
Originally, the first year students were not brought in when the undead world was held.
It was an opportunity that might come at any time, so Professor Mortum specifically allowed it, but I still couldn’t take him deep into it.
“How much is District 1?”
“well? It’s kind of hard to explain in words… You’ll find out when you go inside. I can definitely feel it.”
According to Diret’s explanation, if you’re a wizard, you have no choice but to feel it.
The atmosphere that changes when you pass through the outermost area of the dimension and enter it.
For convenience, the warlocks classified it into District 1 and District 2.
“Aren’t you afraid?”
To Diet’s question, Gainando confidently answered.
“I have a Lee Han, what?”
“……”
“…That’s right. for a moment. This junior will also enter District 2.”
“yes?”
Gainando was surprised.
“You’re in the first year of Lee Han, right? omg. no way…?”
Somehow, he was so good at magic!
“I told you that this junior got special permission from Professor Mortum.”
“Then what about us?”
“So, stay in District 1…”
“……”
As Guyando looked at him with tears in his eyes, Diret sighed and said.
“okay. I’ll watch over you until you leave.”
“thank you!”
Lee Han, who was watching it from the side, handed the chocolate to Dereth.
“…?”
“Eat it. You really put a lot of effort into it.”
“…I’m only doing it this time, so don’t misunderstand.”
‘I don’t think so.’
