Chapter 386
: “…It must be an illusion.”
Lee Han didn’t want to believe it.
It was the priests of the Phoenix Tower who made me think that even in this hellish place where we trusted and cared for each other until just now, there was a ray of hope.
Would such priests fight for the church Lee Han believed in?
“I’m interested in some denominations right now.”
“!”
“Does that mean… you haven’t decided on your true religion yet?”
“How the hell does that sound like that?”
He said that he was ‘interested in several denominations’, but to the priest next to him, he said, ‘I am wandering because I cannot find my true faith’.
“I’m not wandering around because I can’t find my faith, but I’m more of a supporter of the temples, as the nobles of the Empire usually do.”
Lee Han even did something he wouldn’t normally do to convince the priests.
It was to claim himself as a typical imperial aristocrat.
Of course, even now, it was of no use.
“But Mr. Lee Han of the Wardanaz family. There are many aristocrats who support the temple, but not many go to the temple and participate in prayer. I think his sincerity is different from other nobles.”
Nigisor of the Aphha Church said as if he was puzzled.
Lee Han said while grinding his teeth.
“Thank you for your kind explanation.”
“I am ashamed.”
When Lee Han went to the temples of the Aphha Church or the Pricinga Church and heard that they had participated in the event, the other priests’ eyes lit up even more.
To the priests now, Lee Han only looked like a wandering lamb.
“Please visit our denomination once. You will surely find the true faith you have been looking for.”
“So, without that, just with a pure heart of support… or more than that, your church won’t allow faith again, will it?”
Among the imperial denominations, there were denominations that allowed people to hold multiple beliefs together, and there were denominations that only insisted on their own beliefs.
As Lee Han was trying to make a profit by visiting the former, he couldn’t get close to the latter.
“It doesn’t matter now. Because once you find your true religion, you will forget all other beliefs.”
“for a moment. I cannot accept that. Do you mean to forget the faith of the Afha Church? There are few people in the Empire who are as faithful to the faith of the Afha cult as Lee Han of the Wodanaz family here.”
‘You’re just doing it because of your magical power.’
Lee Han internally cursed at Nigisor.
What a guy who thinks Lee Han is like a fuel tank of a huge flame!
“You seem to have a lot of interest in other denominations, but it’s the Flemain denomination. Look at your alchemy grades.”
“That’s how I got it, but I got good grades in all other classes too…”
Siana pretended not to hear and turned away.
“As you have been constantly working at the alchemy workshop even during vacation, you will be satisfied if you visit the Flemain Church.”
“Not all alchemists believe in the Flemain Church. From my point of view, Mr. Lee Han of the Wardanaj family has a lot of interest in swordsmanship. In other words, to our cult that worships the sword…”
“It’s all wrong! I heard from Gainando, but Leehan said he likes wizard cards the most. Worshiping fortune…”
The priests sat down at the table and began a heated discussion.
His demeanor was courteous, but his strength was stubborn and uncompromising.
The priests gradually raised their voices as if they would never back down. It was to the extent that the students passing by looked at it wondering what was going on.
“Wait, everyone, calm down!”
The Phoenix Tower students hesitated at Priest Tigiling’s cry.
Lee Han was moved by the sight.
‘As expected, the Tigilling priest was sane.’
Even though the other priests were blinded by the greed of faith, only Priest Tigiling did not let go of his mind.
Priest Tigilling spoke quickly.
“Let’s all cast lots to decide the order. If we are considerate of each other, we will be able to create a schedule that will satisfy everyone.”
“indeed!”
“As expected…”
“……”
Lee Han suddenly wanted to go back to the Blue Dragon Tower.
* * *
“Hey. You wodhanaz are back…”
“If you talk to them, they will kill you.”
The Blue Dragon Tower students growled with venomous voices.
The White Tiger Tower students, who had tried to talk to him without much thought, were understandably taken aback.
“What what…? oh no I was just trying to ask! Wardanaz is back!”
All of the Blue Dragon Tower students grabbed their staffs with bloody faces.
I felt a firm commitment that if I spoke more, I would not be afraid of a group fight.
The students of the White Tiger Tower were overwhelmed by the spirit that could be displayed by the knights who returned from the dead after being abandoned by their master.
“What… what is it? those guys? Are you crazy?”
“for a moment. Are you going to leave those kids alone?”
Except for the Phoenix Tower, the students of the three towers were not on good terms with each other.
Usually, it was just throwing a few sharp words, but if you openly quarreled like that just now, this side had no intention of backing down either.
No matter who wins, it is pride to stick together.
But…
“Let’s leave it alone for today.”
“why!?”
“I can see that Wodanaj is badly injured.”
“!”
The students of the White Tiger Tower made a surprised expression.
no wonder…!
“Right. Certainly that’s why he reacted like that…”
“Although the Blue Dragon Tower guys are arrogant and rude, it’s not honorable to touch them when they’re so sad for their friends. Let’s move on today.”
“That’s right. We are knights.”
The students of the White Tiger Tower glanced at each other happily while stealing their noses.
We couldn’t be more proud that we were each other’s friends.
“But wodhanaj is hurt. Why are you hurt?”
“Didn’t you challenge the principal to a duel?”
“Yesterday, Black Turtle Top said that the principal was flying around with a wordanaz. Could it be that?”
“Wodanaz… I knew he wasn’t afraid, but I thought he was.”
The White Tiger Tower students were suddenly speechless.
“…Is that kid okay?”
“what. you. Are you really worried about him?”
“My… what am I. It’s not? Aren’t you worried? Aren’t you worried about that?”
“I’m not doing it either?”
While talking like that, the White Tiger Tower students arrived in front of Professor Garcia’s < Basic Practical Magic > lecture room.
Drooling!
“Not everyone… Wordanaz!!”
“??”
Lee Han was puzzled when he saw the students of the White Tiger Tower startled.
“Didn’t you know I was here for the weekend?”
“Aren’t you all hurt?”
“It’s not? What nonsense… have you heard strange rumors?”
Lee Han looked at the students of the White Tiger Tower in a pitiful way.
How can knights fool around with such nonsense?
“…Then why did these bastards go to the Blue Dragon Tower?”
“I don’t know. They must be crazy.”
The White Tiger Tower students gnashed their teeth and sat down.
Let’s see!
In the meantime, students from the Blue Dragon Tower began to enter in groups of twos and threes.
They looked to Lee Han’s side with melancholy faces.
Then, realizing that there were no Phoenix Tower students, I opened my eyes wide.
“Wardanaz! Priest birds… Priests?”
“You are sitting over there.”
Lee Han pointed to the area where the Phoenix Tower students were gathered. The priests waved their hands gladly.
“Ooh, with us… are you going to sit with us?”
“Aren’t you sitting with the Phoenix Tower over there?”
“…Did you guys eat something wrong?”
Lee Han was perplexed because he wondered if his friends in the Blue Dragon Tower were crazy.
But the madness of the Blue Dragon’s Tower friends was just the beginning.
“Uhhh! Wodanaz!”
“I knew you would leave us!”
“Even if we are in different towers, we are friends!!”
The Blue Dragon Tower students clung to Lee Han’s limbs and started to burst into tears.
Lee Han seriously contemplated whether to hit him with a cane.
‘These bastards are embarrassing in the presence of all other top students.’
“We’ll do our best! Don’t leave now!”
“I’ll clean the break room on time too!”
“Didn’t those bastards clean the break room separately?”
A Black Turtle Tower student next to him was shocked.
What are these trash bastards?
“Everyone is half… uh. Lee Han student. Can I give you some more time?”
“it’s okay. professor.”
Lee Han took off his friends one by one, like leeches. Gainando, who remained until the end, was hit in the head and pushed away.
“I am glad that student Lee Han is back. As everyone knows…”
“Aren’t you late recovering from the duel with the principal?”
One of the White Tiger Tower students said as if he knew everything.
Lee Han saw it and thought to himself.
‘Do those bastards believe all rumors?’
Is it possible to spread rumors saying, ‘If you bury all your property in an empty lot, a spirit that grants your wishes will come out’?
“Isn’t it?”
“uh. Isn’t it?”
The students of the White Tiger Tower were making noise. One of the Black Turtle Tower students next to him said pathetically.
“Did I tell you? pitiful bastards. A dragon.”
“Kuk.”
“…Not even a dragon. Everyone, stop imagining strange things because you were just trapped while exploring.”
At Professor Garcia’s words, the students became agitated.
Just exploring and getting stuck.
does that make sense?
“Aren’t you hiding it?”
“Shh. Let’s admit it. He might get angry if you keep asking.”
Professor Garcia gave up talking any more and sighed.
“Today’s lecture will be held in the next classroom. Everyone please follow me.”
The students moved after Professor Garcia.
Lee Han asked Yoner.
“Did you give the last lecture somewhere else?”
“huh. He made the classroom like a cave.”
No matter how much it was for dark vision magic, I never thought I would turn a lecture hall into a cave.
Lee Han admired Professor Garcia’s scale.
‘I wish I had seen it in person.’
…until a huge lake appeared in front of them.
“…?!”
Gainando, who almost fell into the lake after opening the door by mistake, staggered and tried to grab Asan’s clothes.
Asan avoided it as if asking where to catch him. Gainando swears.
Lee Han asked while grabbing Gainando by the back of his neck as he was about to fall.
“professor. Maybe the magic you learn today…”
“You noticed. Lee Han student.”
“…is it water octane or evaporation of Eumidihus?”
“…would you like to see the name of the river again?”
* * *
Naturally, < Basic Practical Magic > did not teach water octane or evaporation.
The magic I learned today was underwater breathing magic.
“Ah… indeed.”
Lee Han was visibly relieved.
He was worried because he didn’t know what monsters might be in that lake.
“Everyone, gather in groups of two. Cast a spell on yourself first, then cast a spell on your partner as you get used to it.”
As soon as the professor finished speaking, the students of the Blue Dragon Tower began to fight each other.
“Move. child.”
“Get out of your way. If Wodanaz gets disappointed because of you and transfers to the Phoenix Tower, will you take responsibility?”
“Should we be fair in order of grades? huh? Enchantment magic Who has good grades?”
“I have to use water elemental magic!”
“Because I’m the closest, I…”
“If you move one more step there, I know I’ll throw you into the lake, too!”
While the Blue Dragon Tower students were arguing over who would hold Lee Han’s trembling heart back to the Blue Dragon Tower, the priest, the Shark Priest of the Phoenix Tower, spoke cheerfully.
“Lee Han from the Wardanaz family. Join me!”
“I will.”
There was nothing that couldn’t be done, so Lee Han nodded calmly.
“But why? There must be other priests.”
“ah. I drew the first order lot.”
“……”
