Chapter 497
“It’s like a poetic metaphor.”
Ratford, like an Einrogard student, was not embarrassed.
Just as the ceiling had become the floor, it was not surprising to walk on the ceiling instead of the floor in Einrogard.
“Make the ceiling a floor once again somehow…”
“Huh?”
“……”
Ratford was speechless when he saw Lee Han already standing upside down.
Lee Han, who floated a water bead high in the air, grabbed it with both hands, then stood upside down and stood upside down.
Seeing that, Ratford was amazed.
‘If you’re in good shape, you don’t need to use your brain!’
I understood why someone like Lee Han was playing with the beastly cubs of the White Tiger Tower.
Tak- Lee
Han forcibly put his feet on the ceiling and took a few steps. Suddenly, his vision shook and the direction of gravity reversed.
Ratford is standing on the floor, while Lee Han is walking on the ceiling.
“let’s go. Ratford.”
“Mrs. Wardanaz.”
“why?”
“I wonder if the other students who came here walked like this?”
“Wasn’t it?”
‘I don’t think so…’
Ratford thought to himself as he grabbed his wobbly arm.
Basically, being a wizard was not a job with a good head but a good body.
* * *
Fortunately, there were no problems after that. Lee Han arrived at his destination easily.
Also known as < Kettle's Secret Base >.
But there were no doors or windows in front of it. Ratford looked at the wall and panicked.
“Nothing.”
“I have an order. for a moment.”
Lee Han looked under the map and cleared his throat.
“As an honorable student of Einrogard, I swear that I will never trust, bribe, or inform the professor.”
“……”
Ratford put on an expression that was lost for words at the entrance method the seniors had created.
It seemed that the consciousness of joining the thieves guild was more severe.
“Especially the headmaster will be even more suspicious.”
‘Wasn’t it the end?’
“This will continue until I graduate, so I will be the hidden puddle that will make the professor’s ankles wet, and the bird droppings that will fall on the professor’s head
… ”
With a gurgling sound, a small door that came up to the waist opened.
“done. Ratford. Let’s go in.”
“Ein Lorgard seems like a very scary place.”
“All of a sudden?”
After crawling through the low passageway, a large warehouse finally came into view.
Lee Han pushed aside a sign reading < Professor Prohibited!!! > and looked around the warehouse.
“This is…”
Ratford said in a trembling voice.
As a skilled thief, he had a gut feeling of success.
Of course, there were no special treasures visible from the outside.
On a large table in the middle of the warehouse, all kinds of unmarked magic books were scattered in disorder, and there were more strange reagents and broken artifacts than books on the bookshelves located on the wall.
Going inside was more spectacle.
Starting with broken golems, leftover canned food boxes, empty wine bottles, sticks for grappling balls and rusty bronze mirrors, the storage room was filled with junk that made it hard to know where to begin cleaning.
However, how to find treasure in a place like this.
Just the thought of searching for this made my heart pound.
“It wasn’t a place that only Kettle-senpai used.”
Lee Han muttered.
No matter how you look at it, it wasn’t a place that had been used for a year or two. Graffiti written decades ago was also common.
It is probably a place that has been used for generations among graduates.
“It doesn’t seem like anyone has come in in recent years. The dust…”
“It seems to have been forgotten.”
Considering the structure of Einrogard, it was common for rooms and classrooms to be forgotten for years.
“I don’t know how to use this place.”
“Wardanaz-sama is thinking about it.”
“What about Ratford?”
“I’m going to do some treasure hunting.”
Ratford immediately rolled up his sleeves and began checking the nearest junk, one by one.
‘It’s never something to do alone.’
Lee Han summoned Sharkhan and then Skeleton Warrior.
“Sharkan. Find something useful. Gonadaltes. You have to put away the big luggage first. We need to expand the usable space.”
As a benevolent master, Lee Han used bone fragments to help the skeleton warriors, strengthening Gonadaltes several times over.
Even so, the back of the skeleton warrior looked somewhat shaky.
‘Is it because of my mood?’
Lee Han looked away.
Summons help, but I didn’t even guess how long it would take.
‘I’ll have to do what I can for now.’
Lee Han arranged the scattered books on the table, dusted them off, and put them on the bookshelf.
If it looks like a magic book, go to the magic book section. If it looks like a notebook, go to the note section.
And the reagents and broken artifact fragments in the bookshelf were separately removed and placed in a wooden box.
‘I’ll have to ask Professor Verdus to fix it later.’
When Professor Verdus was concentrating, he didn’t know that if he put the broken artifact next to him, he might fix it without his knowledge.
‘What is this?’
Lee Han hesitated when he saw the white note with nothing written on it.
All the other notebooks had scribbles such as ‘Die Professor’, ‘Die Skeleton Principal’, and ‘Let’s see you when you graduate’, but it was empty by itself, which made me curious.
I tried to lift it off the table, but to my surprise it didn’t move as if it were firmly anchored.
In an instant, blood dripped from the tips of Lee Han’s fingers holding the white notebook.
And the note sucked up those drops of blood.
‘Magic!’
Lee Han reacted immediately as he had been told by the skeleton headmaster not too long ago, ‘Beware of the evil magic criminals’.
“Watch out for Ratford! There is evil magic!”
“omg!”
Ratford screamed and shrank.
Lee Han also removed his hand and aimed his cane at the note.
“……”
“……”
But nothing happened.
Lee Han, slightly embarrassed, explained as if making an excuse.
“The note sucked blood.”
“Isn’t that an evilly cursed artifact?!”
Ratford freaked out and came running.
“Burn it right away!”
“Seeing that it’s not moving, I don’t think it’s going to be moderate fire. And let’s not set fire here.”
Lee Han was still afraid of fire magic.
I secured a warehouse at best, but if I burn it all down, it would be very absurd from the point of view of a senior who graduated.
“First of all, check what artifact it is…”
Are you the new owner?
“!”
Letters rising above the notebook page.
Lee Han was surprised, but Ratford’s expression did not change.
“Ratford. Can’t you see this letter?”
“yes? What letters do you mean?”
‘It’s only me who sees it.’
Lee Han guessed that the blood shed earlier was the cause.
It must have been a condition for activating this note.
‘Can I write a reply?’
Lee Han was worried.
I didn’t feel any suspicious magical patterns, but it’s dangerous to touch something I don’t know well.
Especially the blood-sucking notes.
What if even an evil demon is sealed inside?
-Who are you?
Is this your first time using it? It’s rude to ask who it is.
“……”
Lee Han’s face hardened.
I don’t know who was sealed inside this notebook, but it was clear that it was a very evil, despicable and shameless being.
Seeing that you don’t feel any magical powers, you must have power beyond Lee Han’s level…
-I already knew who you were.
Lee Han teased the quill without hesitation. The note quickly absorbed the ink.
…say it.
I couldn’t see his face, but I could feel that he was nervous.
-Isn’t it a powerful demon sealed in an evil artifact and brazenly speaking out?
…You idiot you don’t know our faces. The artifact you’re using is not a sealing artifact, it’s a communication artifact.
The opponent, who did not know his face, admonished Lee Han as if he was dumbfounded.
Lee Han was a little taken aback.
-Are you trying to trick me? If you look at the old story, there were evil beings in these notebooks…
Is there such a story? You can’t study more than that? If you’re going to trap an evil being, you’ll need to use a special artifact. Why lock it in a note? What if someone brings it to a second-hand bookstore and sells it?
‘hmm. That’s right.’
Lee Han was slightly embarrassed by the opponent’s admonition.
Come to think of it, if it was an artifact that didn’t feel any magic, it was much more likely that it was just an artifact without much danger.
There can’t be an artifact (it’s also in the form of a note) that imprisoned the Great Devil in the storage of students like this in the first place.
‘I read too many novels.’
-Then this notebook…
is a tool our students created.
The unknown opponent kindly explained.
When I went up to the second year, I was able to meet my seniors, but that didn’t mean I could have completely open conversations.
There was an atmosphere of grouping among the grades and groupings among the towers, and sometimes the professor’s spies were also present among the students.
Maybe that’s why, at some point, these artifacts used to be placed in the hidden places of Ein Lorgard.
The objects that become the skeleton of the artifact were diverse.
Notebooks that were easy to write on were the most common, and parchment or mirrors could be anything good for ink on.
This is how we communicate with each other now.
Rather, since we didn’t know who each other was, we were able to talk honestly.
It will depend on who you are talking to, but basically it’s rude to ask for your identity, so you’d better keep that in mind. You could be mistaken for a professor.
– Thanks for the advice.
Lee Han first expressed his gratitude.
If it wasn’t for the other person’s explanation, I would have still been lost.
‘It’s a means for Einroguard students to communicate anonymously.’
In fact, Lee Han didn’t openly curse the skull principal, but most students were on the side of being careful not to let the skull principal’s curse out of their mouths.
For such students, this anonymous means of communication will be a kind of window like a bamboo forest.
-I think it was neglected for a while before I got the note. Was there anyone who wrote before me?
there was no So I thought this note was wrong, so I just plugged it in.
‘This person has several artifacts.’
Lee Han inferred some information from the other person’s words.
It was clear that he had many other artifacts besides this one note, seeing as he was well acquainted with the communications artifacts of Einrogard campus.
‘Then you must know a lot more about Einrogard’s situation than I do.’
-If I have any questions, may I ask?
your freedom The answer is mine too. It’s usually equivalent exchange. You know what I’m talking about?
As each was anonymous, there were no one-sided questions or answers.
If someone wanted to ask a question, they had to be able to pay the price they deserved.
-All right. What I’m curious about are the hidden places on the 3rd floor of the main building.
3rd Floor? 2nd grade?
-well.
good. If you can answer this, let’s exchange it.
Lee Han was nervous.
Will Lee Han himself be able to meet the other person’s needs?
Should I cheat?
‘But if I get caught cheating, I’ll lose contact after that.’
There must be a first year student in your school named Wardanaj.
‘how?!’
Lee Han was surprised.
It was surprising that Lee Han’s name came up, but I couldn’t believe how I guessed the other person’s school.
Is there a way to measure the school of the opponent beyond the note??
‘ah. No.’
Come to think of it, Lee Han just belonged to everyone.
-yes.
Find out what school of magic you will learn in your sophomore year.
– I know that contact with a first grader is a heavy punishment.
So you shouldn’t be listening
‘Who is this person really?’
Lee Han frowned.
First of all, I was a bit puzzled by the mention of Lee Han’s name.
did you hear the rumor?
Some of the seniors knew Lee Han’s name because they were helping the professor with his work, but…
‘Did it spread that way?’
And…
the opponent hesitated.
It was as if he was hesitating whether he could say this or not.
‘what?’
Be sure to ask if you want to hear black magic.
-…Are you Diret?
The notes suddenly went unanswered.
