Chapter 501
The Skeleton Principal said in a meaningful voice.
I’m counting on you. Explain the beauty of Ein Lorgard.
‘Can I do well?’
I accepted it because of the ticket to go out, but after receiving it, I suddenly became worried.
Is there such a thing as beauty in Ein Lorgard?
‘It looks like there’s only pain and sadness…’
There was no way someone like the skeleton headmaster would just give us the right to go out for no reason.
Of course, isn’t it to ask that the famous bard not write a song like ‘Oh, the students of Einrogard are suffering in hell~’ when he goes outside?
However, no matter how hard Lee Han tried, there was a limit if all he had in Einrogard was pain and sadness.
Will I be able to do it well?
* * *
“What are those students doing?”
“The fence was broken recently, and they’re coming out and fixing it.”
Lee Han answered Ipadur’s question without hesitation.
In the distance, the friends of the Black Turtle Tower were repairing the broken fence with swear words.
Ifadur befits a seasoned and experienced minstrel, he asked a sharp question.
“Then why are you fixing it at dawn?”
“Because I love my school so much.”
The skeleton principal next to him looked at Lee Han with admiration.
To say such embarrassing words without thinking for a second.
‘How the hell did a guy like that come from the Wardanaz family?’
“I came out like this after thinking about the things I couldn’t fix during the day, so I must be loving the school that much.”
“It’s amazing how much the magicians love Einrogard.”
“It is natural.”
Lee Han processed the sound that the Black Turtle Tower students would have heard, without blinking an eye.
Professionals don’t get swayed by personal feelings.
“Has there been a flood recently?”
Ipadur asked in a surprised voice as he walked along the forest path.
Originally, it was not a place where there would be water, but there were still traces of it as if there had been a flood.
“yes.”
“As far as I know… it must not have been the rainy season yet, right?”
Lee Han looked at the skeleton headmaster. Headmaster Skeleton nodded as if he was okay.
‘You can say that much.’
‘All right.’
“Ein Lorgard is a region with strong magical power, so there are many strange phenomena. This elemental flood was one of those phenomena.”
“It is truly amazing. A quirky natural phenomenon like this isn’t common in the empire, is it?”
“It’s probably like that.”
The bard, an old tortoise beast, supported himself with a staff and looked around with interest in his eyes.
Then he took out a quill and started writing down something. Headmaster Skeleton glanced at the memo.
Various phenomena take place in Einrogard, the cradle for raising outstanding wizards. Young wizards solve these phenomena with the help of seasoned wizards.
Skeleton Principal sent a heartwarming look.
It seemed that this seasoned minstrel had fallen into the trap of stereotypes and common sense and failed to recognize the truth about Einrogard.
Even without the help of seasoned wizards!
‘Keep on like this. Wardanaz.’
‘Do not worry.’
“for a moment. How do students move when a flood hits? Are you also using magic?”
“yes. I use magic to build a boat or summon a tanjueo.”
“thank you.”
Ipadur paused while taking notes.
“Summon Tanju language?”
……
Skeleton Headmaster looked at Lee Han as if asking what he was doing.
I also wanted to miss Lee Han.
‘I made a mistake.’
Come to think of it, when a flood struck, the usual way to deal with it was not to summon Tanjueo.
“Who summoned Tanju?”
Ifadur seemed very interested, he grabbed the quill with an attitude that he would never let go.
“I summoned you.”
“Very interesting… very interesting.”
Headmaster Skeleton looked at Lee Han as if he were telling him to come to his senses.
It was not okay if the disciple had already lost his mind.
“Lord Gonadaltes. Do all the students of Einrogard know how to summon Tanju?”
that’s no Only a few brilliant students know how to summon.
“Some students…”
Oh Sir. look over there! The giants are wrestling!
Headmaster Skeleton pointed to the mountain range and changed the subject.
Fortunately, if the giant wrestling was more interesting than I thought, Ipadur also looked away.
“It’s rare to see giants like this, but it’s really amazing. Gonadaltes Ball. By the way, maybe it’s a rude question… don’t giants harm students?”
Giants were not a threatening race like monsters, but neither were they kind and warm neighbors.
If he accidentally collided with the young wizards, it could cause great damage.
Headmaster Skeleton burst out laughing and said.
haha. As you can see from the streets, students never meet giants. They are the keepers of the mountain range.
“indeed. That’s what it is.”
You know as well as Wodanaz hangs out here with giants. tell me Wodanaz. Did the giants ever meet the students?
“……”
Lee Han looked at the skeleton headmaster like a madman.
Only then did the Headmaster Skeleton realize his mistake.
‘Shit.’
Come to think of it, Wodanaz was still a student.
“No… student Wodanaz… a giant…?”
When Ipadur seemed to be in chaos, Lee Han hurriedly started the evolution process.
“Actually, there is one giant who saved me…”
Lee Han told the story of the giant Ikurusha saving him and the story of losing his hair in a chess match (with some adaptations).
Thanks to that, he became friendly with the giants, and the other day he was able to watch them raise mountain range destroyers.
The old minstrel nodded with a very impressed face.
“It’s an amazing story. What an amazing story! To think that a young wizard could be so friendly with a giant.”
haha. Wodanaz is a very sociable guy. guy! That’s why I told you not to go to the mountains because it’s dangerous!
Lee Han looked at the skeleton headmaster coldly.
Headmaster Skeleton averted his gaze, perhaps realizing that he had crossed the line too much.
After that, Ipadur walked along the forest path, admiring the moon and stars rising over the mountains and lakes.
Seeing a bard singing about the water surface of a lake as clear as glass, Lee Han suddenly realized the strength of Einroguard.
‘The view here is better than I thought!’
‘How many fish should I get from the lake today?’ I didn’t know because I was thinking, ‘How many baskets of vegetables should I fill in the mountain today?’
Looking to the side, the skeleton headmaster was yawning.
If other friends saw it, they would have shed tears of envy.
To hear Ipadur’s song right next to you.
‘hmm. I’m not sure either.’
I know he sings well, but Ipadur’s song was just a song he sang well to Lee Han, who was not interested in it.
“By the way, there is something I want to ask the student of Wodanaz.”
“yes. I will listen.”
Lee Han spoke as modestly as possible, hoping that he might have found out he had other thoughts.
“Prince Gonadaltes invited me to study the connection between music and magic… Oh no. I should have asked this first, but I made a mistake. My memory is getting worse as I get older… Which school are you studying at?”
“……”
……
The eyes of Lee Han and the skeleton principal shook at the same time.
‘Can I talk to you?’
‘I think I can talk.’
“I am interested in all the schools within Einrogard.”
“Is that so!?”
This story also seemed interesting, and Ipadur took out his quill again in amazement.
“Isn’t that impossible?”
“Thanks to the professors who generously pay attention to me, although it is difficult, I am achieving it somehow.”
‘I ordered it, but he’s a real madman.’
The skeleton principal was even awed by the answer that popped out like a flattery device when a coin was inserted.
Could it be that the idea of putting this disciple in Einrogard was an illusion?
If it was a tongue like this, shouldn’t it be sent to the imperial government?
‘But I love magic too much for that.’
Not knowing that Principal Skeleton had decided on his career path in a short period of time, Lee Han continued to speak.
“I can feel that the students really respect the professors of Einrogard.”
“I am very lucky. haha.”
“Looks like it. Back to the main topic… How much do you care about music?”
The headmaster of the skeleton sent his eyes, saying, ‘Please tell me that you like it roughly’.
“I really liked the last song written by Ipadur. A merry rhythm…”
“A merry rhythm?”
“…Eliciting a response from the people of the Empire with a song that goes against the trend these days is something only Ipadur-sama can do.”
“aha.”
Yihan immediately corrected his words after seeing Ipadur’s reaction.
“I was lucky enough to be interested. As you know, while Prince Gonadaltes is studying the connection between music and magic, I have to work hard to help him, but I think the students will also need your help.”
Having been a bard for a long time, Ipadur also knew that nothing was as capricious as music.
Even the same song had different feelings depending on the day it was sung, so how difficult would the wizards be?
Inevitably, other wizards were needed to help in various ways during the research.
“Can you help?”
Headmaster Skeleton frowned arrogantly at Ipadur’s question.
‘what?’
Lee Han was puzzled.
Given the personality of Headmaster Skeleton, I thought Lee Han would push his back if he had a chance to learn magic, no matter how hard it was.
“If I help, what should I do?”
“Ugh. It will bother you a little bit. I’ll pay you, but…”
“?”
Lee Han was taken aback when Ipadur said he would give him a reward.
what?
‘Even getting paid while learning magic?’
does that make sense?
“…Anyway, I’m going to lose some of my precious weekend. Go out with Prince Gonadaltes, meet the orchestras and choirs of the empire, and listen to their music magically…” “
I will help you!”
“Are you sure?”
Ipadur was amazed.
No matter how brilliant a wizard is, he knew that as young as he was, it would be more important to have his own time on the weekends.
For example, going out to play Gyeokgu, or playing chess in a city cafe, and so on.
“You will be wasting a lot of time.”
“Ipadur. I am a man who has dedicated his life to magic.”
“Well, seeing that you all belong to so many schools…”
“……”
Lee Han was hurt by what he said.
‘I was forced to listen to some of them.’
“I would be very happy if you could help me.”
…shouldn’t we also check out Wardanaz’ talent for music?
The fact that Lee Han had to go out uselessly instead of studying magic on the weekend was painful for the headmaster.
To waste precious time on a musical magic that you don’t know if it will come to fruition.
“it’s okay. Gonadaltes Ball. Talented or not, they are all important examples. Besides, where else would you find such an interesting student? I would love to hear more.”
Damn it…
The Headmaster Skeleton muttered softly.
He succeeded in turning his attention to Einrogard, but Ipadur became interested in other things.
Well, there was no way that curious bard would not be interested in the story of a guy like Wodanaz.
“Hmm?”
“Why is that?”
“ah. A sudden thought came to my mind. Unlike normal floods, spirit floods will not disappear naturally…” “
……”
