Chapter 401
“Come to think of it, that’s not important right now.”
“Then what’s important…”
Professor Thunderstruck, who was about to listen, muttered dissatisfiedly.
He wanted to hear from the disciple’s mouth exactly what he had done.
“When we heard the words of Joanen Meikin, we talked about this. How would you like to make < Paragranum's Veil > with this person’s help? But I didn’t know you were a first-year student.”
“Is that so?”
“Of course it is.”
Professor Thunderwalk grumbled.
What kind of guy would think he was a first-year student after only hearing that?
“Can you help me?”
“of course.”
It was Lee Han who came to flatter him. There was no reason to refuse.
“professor. Could I borrow the workshop for a while?”
“Do whatever you want.”
The alchemists bowed their heads in gratitude.
Then, I got up from my seat with Lee Han and headed to the studio.
“…?!”
Professor Wooreegeol realized it belatedly.
‘Isn’t that learning the vision!?’
Just like water flowing like this?!
* * *
“But I’m not very experienced in alchemy.”
“Is that so? He said he worked at Joanen Meikin’s studio, so I thought he had a lot of experience.”
“About half a year…”
At Lee Han’s answer, the Paragranum alchemists looked at Lee Han with a shocked face as if they had heard an unbelievable sound.
When the alchemists, who had not changed their emotions so far, did this, Lee Han felt a bit pressured and said,
“…I think it was a little longer than that.”
“Is that so? Some extent?”
“About one more month?”
“……”
The alchemists suddenly started whispering among themselves. Lee Han suddenly regretted it because he seemed to have said something useless.
“Lee Han. Are you interested in the Paragranum Guild?”
Fortunately, the alchemists made suggestions without saying anything. Lee Han answered with relief.
“I have always admired the Paragranum Guild. Among the imperial alchemist guilds, isn’t it the guild that is always dedicated to new discoveries? I still remember making a cure for blue blood disease two years ago.”
“You are overrated.”
The alchemists were not swayed by these few words of praise, but they accepted the fact that Lee Han had goodwill towards the Paragranum guild quite highly.
If you have goodwill towards the guild, there is a high possibility that you will try to join it after graduating.
“But it’s hard to deny that our guild has some advantages that other alchemist guilds don’t have.”
“Is that so?”
Lee Han suddenly became interested.
After all, isn’t it the evaluation of those working inside that is more accurate than rumors heard outside?
What are the advantages of these alchemists?
The Alchemists of Paragranum spoke with faint pride.
“Once you start researching, you don’t stop with an excuse like a break.”
“…?”
Lee Han felt something strange, but the alchemists continued to speak.
“And dangerous research that other guilds do not do is conducted in our guild.”
“Oh… Are the alchemists getting less money than other guilds?”
“You know me? you’re right. Instead of needlessly taking gold coins, you can use them for research.”
“It’s a really, really good guild.”
“That’s right.”
After the conversation, Lee Han smiled and nodded.
And I thought to myself.
‘I shouldn’t even go near the Paragranum guild building.’
It was a crazier guild than I thought.
“So what kind of potion is < The Veil of Paragranum >? I don’t remember hearing of it…”
If it’s a potion released on the market, there’s a high chance that Lee Han has heard the name, but it was strangely the first time he heard it.
“It’s never been made public, so of course you’ve never heard of it.”
“Yeah… wait. Isn’t that a vision then?”
Lee Han was taken aback.
If it’s a potion that hasn’t been released outside, it’s a guild’s vision, so can I tell you about it like this?
“yes. you’re right.”
“May I know?”
“Isn’t it necessary for research?”
The alchemists looked at Lee Han as if ‘Why are you asking an obvious question?’
Han Lee should feel like he has become a strange person.
‘hmm. I guess I should have brought Professor Thunderwalk.’
“…understand.”
“I knew you would. < Paragranum's Veil > is a kind of stealth potion.”
“Stealth… potion?”
Lee Han was surprised.
Stealth-based potions had a fairly limited effect.
‘Is there more than the principle of conversion magic or endowment magic? It’s possible to improve, but…’
It would be possible to change the method and principle and increase the duration or effect, but it was a fairly minor potion compared to what the Paragranum Guild was researching.
“yes. But it’s a little different from what you might think. What we are trying to hide is not a shape or form, but a specific energy.”
“!”
The energy emanating from existence.
It could have been the pressure from magical powers, the energy of the attributes emitted by the spirits, or the killing spirit emitted by the knights.
It was an unexpected idea to cut only this specific energy.
“Is that possible?”
“Theoretically, it is more or less complete. All that remains is to experiment. There are two things we want to get help from Lee Han. one is horsepower. I heard that an abnormal level of mana is invested when magically treating materials.”
“…It’s not to an abnormal level…”
Lee Han muttered, but the alchemists ignored him.
“Originally, it is not a method commonly used in alchemy.”
Alchemy is the study of thorough calculations without a single error.
As long as the calculations were correct, there was no reason to over-inject magic to an abnormal level like Lee Han.
Besides, if you did it that way, the alchemist could have collapsed before the potion was finished.
“However, the case is a bit different this time in The Veil of Paragranum. We anticipate that over-injection of mana will complete the effect of this potion.”
“I see… Wait a minute. If there are two, what is the other?”
“I heard that Lee Han-nim emits a sense of intimidation from magical powers to frighten the spirits. Could you please allow me?”
Among the various energies, the one that is sensed by a sensitive being like a spirit is the most difficult to hide.
If the potion works successfully against someone who scares the spirits, then the potion is, in effect, a success.
“…it doesn’t matter, but where did you hear that?”
“Joanen Meikin told me.”
‘Mr Joanen!’
Lee Han called out to Yoner’s older sister inwardly.
Why do you even go so far…
* * *
“Again.” “again.” “again.” “But you really have a lot of magic power.” “again.” “again.” “again.” “again.” “again.”
Professor Wooreeul, who came to watch, admired Lee Han’s patience.
In the old days when Professor Thunderwalk was learning, if you taught like that, five out of ten would give up, three would run away, one would punch the teacher in the face, and one would hold on to the end.
And Lee Han belonged to the last case.
The alchemists of the Paragranum Guild repeatedly shouted ‘again’ like madmen, but Lee Han measured the ingredients, swung his staff, and adjusted the intensity of the fire without a change in expression.
“Is everyone doing well?”
“yes. This is thanks to Lee Han’s outstanding talent. for a moment. Please do it again.”
The thunder walk professor glanced at Lee Han. Fortunately, I wasn’t clenching my fists.
As he knew Lee Han’s swordsmanship skills from Professor Ingeldell, Professor Thunderwalker couldn’t help but care.
“But it’s the weekend, so wouldn’t it be better to take a break?”
Students were told to work hard to learn, but Professor Wooreegeul also had a conscience.
He couldn’t help but feel sorry for the disciple who stood in front of the pot and listened to ‘Again’ over and over again for about 12 hours.
“professor. Do you know what is one of the things Han Lee highly appreciates about the Paragranum Guild?”
“…Uh… you set fire to the water supply?”
“no. Once the research started, they highly valued not stopping with an excuse like taking a break.”
“……”
Professor Thunderwalker could see Lee Han, who was stirring the ladle with an expressionless face, clenched his fist for the first time.
…isn’t that right?
“That… that’s right. I’m obviously dry got it? I’m obviously dry.”
“??”
The alchemists, who didn’t know who Professor Thunderwalker was talking to, tilted their heads.
It was then.
“Ahhh!!”
When one of the alchemists screamed, Professor Thunderwalker hurriedly turned his head.
He was worried that Lee Han, impatient, had pushed the alchemist into the pot. It used to happen often in the past.
But fortunately, it was not such an accident. Silver smoke was rising from inside the cauldron.
“Are you done?”
“yes! at las!”
With his intuition as an outstanding alchemist, Professor Thunderwalk felt that the potion in front of him had been completed.
I still hadn’t figured out what potion it was, but it was something to celebrate.
“Congratulations. He suffered so much.”
“no. It would have been difficult to complete on our own.”
“To think that overinjecting mana was the answer. Everyone will be surprised to hear it. isn’t it? Lee Han?”
It was natural for the alchemists to be surprised.
The potion kept failing right before completion, but the correct answer was to madly increase the magical power of the ingredients.
It wasn’t just a general level, but really blowing it to the point of wondering, ‘Do I have to pour this much magic?’ was the hidden answer.
“It looks like you’re tired from consuming too much mana.”
“Don’t you think so…?”
Professor Wooregeol denied it, but Lee Han didn’t say anything. He just stood there with a tired face.
‘I’m tired.’
He couldn’t help but get tired of repeating the incredibly long process of making potions in succession without stopping.
No matter how much alchemists do their best to help, the burden will pile up.
But still, it was definitely a good opportunity. Lee Han could understand why Professor Thunderwalk invited the alchemists from outside.
‘From the way you handle materials to the magic you use. It was different from Ein Rogard’s method.’
Just looking at the work of other alchemists felt like the boundaries of my thoughts were broadening.
If Lee Han already knew some of the potion recipes by mixing a few of the Paragranum guild’s secrets and making them again, the results would be better than now.
Maybe that’s why the guilds keep their know-how secretly hidden.
‘okay. Having learned this, I should definitely be grateful…’
“Lee Han-nim. Are you okay?”
“yes.”
“Any magic power?”
“yes.”
“What did I say?”
Thunderstruck Professor replied as if to look at it.
“Then, I will summon the spirits and test the potion.”
“……”
While Lee Han was at a loss for words, the alchemists made their own decisions and headed outside.
It was to summon the spirit in a large space and face Lee Han.
With only the two of them left, Thunderwalk made excuses again without realizing it.
“…Next time, I will never call the Paragranum guild alchemists.”
“No. Please call me if possible.”
“Really?”
“yes. Wouldn’t it be okay if the juniors took away the opportunity to learn?”
“……”
For some reason, ‘learn’ sounded like ‘danghal’ in Professor Thunderwalk’s ears.
