Chapter 434
‘Oops. Did I bring up an inappropriate subject?’
Uncharacteristically for a knight, Jean Cliff was quick-witted.
As an outlier who actively participated in all sorts of social gatherings, he had no choice but to be different from other knights.
Of course, I didn’t notice that other people wanted Jean Cliff to keep his mouth shut, but I could notice that the students were uncomfortable talking about their studies.
‘I have to change the topic!’
“Don’t worry too much. Being good at arithmetic or languages doesn’t make you a great person. The chief of such a lecture must be a single-minded person with no sociability whatsoever.”
“……”
This time Lee Han became sullen.
* * *
The evil anti-magician of the empire, Bakdeogul, gnashed his teeth and inspected the blade.
“They say the knights are gathering.”
“Very well done. You did very well.”
In addition to Bakdeogul, the eyes of other anti-magicists sitting around were tingling with miasma.
“I never thought that the whole world would be ruined by these guys who are knights at gatherings and all they know how to do is condescending…!”
One of Bakdeogul’s strengths was his innate grace.
Even in shabby clothes, the movements and accents that were not hidden made Bakdeugul respectable wherever he went and made it easy to infiltrate.
But now, Bakdeogul had taken off his mask to such an extent that he couldn’t feel that kind of elegance.
It was natural.
Because of the knights, all of their plans were destroyed.
‘I will never forgive you.’
mountain mushrooms.
This mushroom, which had the property of dissipating mana, was the source of everything.
Originally, it was a mushroom used by black magicians as a reagent for curses, but one of the anti-magicists found a way to enhance the effect of this mountain mushroom and make it easier to use.
Of course, the anti-magicists were excited about this new discovery and gathered the mountain mushrooms as much as possible.
It was like having a dagger that could attack wizards if enough were gathered.
However, mountain mushrooms were not easy to obtain in quantity.
In the first place, there was no way that black magicians and small amounts of reagents would be released in such large quantities. However, if he openly recruited the amount, he could buy the wizards’ suspicions.
It was for this reason that Bakdeogul hired mercenaries and went to the undead world.
In order to gather enough mountain mushrooms.
No one thought that Bak De Gul would fail in such a simple task… but
to his surprise, Bak De Gul failed.
It was because of the local drivers.
He caught and imprisoned the mercenaries, including Bakdeulgul, by citing completely unexpected regulations, and while they were unable to grasp the situation, he called the wizards of Einrogard and prevented them from escaping.
Bakdeogul was arrested in the middle of the day and was taken to the capital prison.
Fortunately, he was able to barely escape because he was not discovered as an anti-magicist, but he could not bring his mercenaries with him.
It was a bonus that all the mountain mushrooms he had secured were also confiscated.
The anti-magicists, who had been waiting for the wild mushrooms that Bakdeogul had secured, blew the opportunity away and Bakdeogul’s face was ruined.
The vengeful Bakdeogul went to find out what happened to this absurd situation.
and found the culprit.
Surprisingly, the Beech Knights were the culprits.
What kind of grudge did these bastards have against the mercenaries? For an absurdly strict reason, they captured them and called the Einrogard wizards!
“What on earth were these damned idiots thinking about doing this?”
“It’s obvious. It’s clear that you looked down on me as a mercenary. Since there was a bounty, they must have summoned the wizards and tried to just hand it over.”
“You will pay the price for that. Unworthy knights.”
The anti-magicians gnashed their teeth in the dark log cabin and cast their gazes through the windows.
In the distance, at the foot of a hill shrouded in darkness, I could see brilliant lights. It was the meeting place of the Beech Knights.
For the same reason, they destroyed the anti-magicists’ grand scheme, and today they will pay the price!
“The carriage is passing by again.”
“The knights are riding in a carriage…”
“You are so careless!”
“Don’t belittle it. After all, it is a knight.”
Bak De Gul restrained his men.
I confirmed that the knights were careless, but there was nothing good about being arrogant.
No matter how far from actual combat, knights are knights, even if they are good-looking knights.
In terms of basic combat power, it was incomparable to ordinary people.
“Soon there will be a signal. Wait for that signal.”
Waiting for the signal to be sent by the infiltrated spy, Bakdeogul’s eyes burned insiniously.

“…Oh, isn’t that too flashy?”
Lee Han looked at Giselle and asked.
The carriages seen around it were decorated with all sorts of luxurious decorations, just like the carriages of some aristocratic family, and the camp temporarily built on the hill had various flags and insignias hanging brilliantly… ‘
No. wait for a sec. That’s the top carriage.’
In addition to the knights’ wagons, there were also a lot of top wagons.
Looking around, the porters were sweating and stacking chests like a mountain. The sound of the bottles rattling inside made it clear that the knights were drinking.
Some porters even brought live fish in large copper tanks.
Although Lee Han was from a noble family, it was all the more surprising because he had never lived such a luxurious life.
“……”
“……”
Giselle and her friends averted their eyes and shut their mouths.
“Moradi? Moradi? didn’t you hear Isn’t that too flashy?”
“…shut up!”
“no. why are you angry I was asking.”
The White Tiger Tower students were also feeling it.
The meeting of the Knights of the Beech Tree is quite different from the meeting of ordinary knights!
Even the powerful northern family, the Moradi family, never held such an extravagant gathering. It was the same with Anrago and Batrek.
“Is this what knights’ gatherings are like?”
“That… Wodanaz. Stop provoking Moradi.”
Anrago whispered in fear.
Giselle, who had been grinding her teeth at first, had crossed a critical point at some point, but became coldly quiet.
“Ang. I was just asking because I was really curious. Have I ever participated in a meeting of knights?”
“I’ve also participated in gatherings of my peers or family, but it’s my first time at a Knights’ meeting… uh…” ”
It’s not rumored that the Beech Knights have a lot of money for nothing.”
Lee Han checked his surroundings with an admiring expression.
The more I looked, the more I liked it.
How much money can I get if I get close?
‘I heard that obtaining investment and sponsorship is a skill as a wizard.’
Of course, there were some bugs that were not paid back after being invested… There were precedents, but basically, investment and sponsorship were a positive system.
The wizard does the research he wanted to do but gave up because of the lack of money, and the investors and sponsors get the appropriate profit and honor.
In the case of Lee Han, he was more interested in business than research.
‘Can’t it be a business that looks like research?’
Jean Cliff, who guided the party, went in first to meet the knights.
After looking around, Lee Han called his friends.
“Shall we go in soon?”
“Ughhh.”
The White Tiger Tower students seemed a little intimidated by the extravagant appearance of the gathering.
Lee Han didn’t pay much attention and stopped in front of the front door. Then he dusted his shoes.
A driver who was just about to enter saw Lee Han and quickly brushed off the dust with an expression of ‘I see!’
Kiik-
The inside was just as gorgeous as the outside. It seemed like I could just live here, from the carpet on the floor to the furniture I brought with me, seeing how much gold coins I poured into at one meeting.
As Anrago and Batrek roughly threw their coats onto the chairs, Lee Han said.
“for a moment. you can’t leave it there It’s not Ein Lorgard.”
“Uh… then where?”
“There will be a space that serves as a drawing room. I have to put it there.”
The two knights sitting in front flinched. The two of them stood up and quickly looked around, picked up the coat they had thrown on the floor, and brushed it away.
“…?”
Around that time, Lee Han also began to feel strange.
“Wardanaz. Can I just sit down?”
“Don’t just sit at the head of the fireplace.”
A splendidly dressed knight flinched and rose from his seat.
“Can I take off my gloves?”
“no. I am writing.”
One of the knights who had been wearing jewelry quickly put on gloves.
“…Those sirs. sorry. You can just sit comfortably.”
“no!”
“I was going to do this, but I was just taking a break!”
The knights waved their hands and strongly insisted, ‘I’m not a rude person, but I made a slight mistake.’
“It’s a meeting of knights, and the knights can act a little more comfortably.”
“hey. We are knights too…”
The White Tiger Tower friends whispered as if they were unfair.
Why do we point out??
“Are you going to act the same when you join the noble meeting later? You have to learn it beforehand.”
“Ah no… that’s true…”
After being beaten with the right words, the friends couldn’t argue.
While the White Tiger Tower students were being bullied, the knights hurriedly adjusted their clothes and went to check.
“Are you okay with me? for a moment. Is this the order of the vests?”
“I heard you know your manners!”
“I know it well, but I’m asking just in case.”
Before Lee Han came, they were the knights of the Beech Knights who were proud to be acting like nobles, but when the real one appeared, that trust began to shake.
“Is the sword here… tea?”
“Wait a minute. Have you worn too many jewelry? I guess it didn’t work.”
“Why are you making such a fuss? what’s the matter?”
“Actually, the Wodanaz family boy…”
“Ah! You said you were coming! But why?”
“I threw my coat on the floor.”
“Can I throw it away?”
“Originally not! How the nobles laugh at such a thing!”
“No, then why did you throw it on the floor? I believed you when you said you could throw it away…”
“Shut up and clean it up quickly! Don’t grab the horse’s tail!”
Even the knight, who was evaluated as being dignified and good at etiquette among the knights, blushed with shame.
Jean Cliff, who returned late, was surprised by the hall’s appearance, which was different from the usual loose and lax atmosphere.
‘What the hell happened?!’
* * *
“Ah. something like that.”
Jean Cliff was amazed.
Among the knights, there were no better manners than the Beech Knights.
But like swordsmanship, there is always a sky above the sky.
“It must have been a very good experience to see and learn from the real thing. They will grow even more. haha!”
“…what the hell are you growing…”
Giselle, who was trying to hold it in through her teeth, spat out unbearably.
A knight would wield a sword, what the fuck…
“Shh. Moradi. It’s a gathering of other knights, isn’t it?”
“……”
Giselle trembled with humiliation upon hearing Lee Han’s right words.
I almost made a mistake because I couldn’t control my emotions…
Why did that happen to Wodanaz!
“It’s alcohol!”
“Can’t I take that with me?!”
Giselle was taken aback by the dignified conversation between Anrago and Bartrek.
‘I can’t imagine I’ll miss Ein Lorgard.’
“and. It’s a really expensive drink.”
“yes? Wodanaz?”
“Let’s go get some bottles with me later.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha! No joke… …not a joke.”
“huh.”
“……”
“Wodanaz… please… Unlike you, I come from a family of knights, so if rumors spread…”
Angrago begged.
Even if they were caught together, Lee Han might be fine, but Angra would be given a title like ‘bottle thief’ among the knights.
“No… I didn’t mean stealing, I was talking about taking it. I will give you that much.”
“ah. Was it like that?”
Anrago’s face brightened. Batrek also swallowed.
Giselle closed her eyes tightly, not wanting to look at her.
