Episode 607
“Among the students, I can count on one hand the ones who succeeded in making such an outrageous proposal.”
“Are there any successful people?”
Headmaster Skeleton’s eyes completely returned to normal.
“Just say you will hear what you want to hear. why. Can you tell me what suggestions you had?”
“It was just curiosity. Can I ask one more question?”
“What?”
“What if you accept the offer and then say you can’t do it after a while?”
“…Are you asking just to get away with donations!?!”
Headmaster Skeleton was astonished.
From the beginning, this disciple had no intention of taking on a reckless challenge.
While other arrogant and arrogant bastards attacked without even understanding their subject, he was coldly planning to eat and run after receiving donations alone!
It was truly terrifying coldness.
‘I’m afraid of the future!’
“No… you could say you can’t do it halfway through. And the donations used are unavoidable. I’m not trying to run away on purpose.”
“You are truly crazy. Quit it. A wizard who only covets the fruit right in front of him doesn’t last long. If you accept the offer and fail, your reputation will suffer.”
Reputation was as important as skill to the Imperial Wizard.
No matter how talented, no one would entrust a fortune to a mage like Verdus.
The reason why Verdus now works under the Skull Headmaster was because he failed to manage his reputation.
“I think once or twice would be fine, right?”
“…do it. sun! do it! Just try not to do it.”
“It’s a question, but if you keep getting so angry…”
Headmaster Skeleton changed the subject with a tantrum.
“The sponsor you are going to meet now will be a bit different from the sponsors you have met so far, so be careful.”
“?”
Lee Han was surprised by the principal’s words.
Are you another sponsor?
“Are you eccentric?”
“Geeky… You could say he’s eccentric. It might be different from what you think. He is the third of His Majesty’s nine children.”
“!!!”
There were over a hundred children of the present emperor, so each one did not have great authority.
Having actually met the emperor, Lee Han seemed to understand why the heads of the great aristocratic families were bored with the imperial family.
In the eyes of the family heads, there is an emperor who should rule forever, but the young royal family, who do not deserve it, are saying, ‘I want to be the next emperor!’ How must it have been?
Rather, Lee Han was more curious about the loyalist aristocrats gathered under several imperial families.
Don’t they firmly believe that the royal family they serve will be the successor?
‘Do you believe that I can become a better emperor than the real emperor?’
Maybe it’s because they don’t know the identity of the current emperor…
Anyway, the Yangsan-type imperial family didn’t have much authority, and everyone with a keen eye knew that, but some royal families were a little special among them.
from the first to the ninth.
This was the case with the real children the emperor conceived and gave birth to alone.
Although they did not have the qualifications of an emperor, they had great potential as dragons.
Above all, it was very important that he was a dragon, unlike the imperial family below him.
In fact, these nine children would be the ones the emperor considers his real children.
Of course, not only the skeleton headmaster, but also the great aristocratic families had no choice but to pay attention to the emperor’s real children.
“Looks like you know. So now these nine people are all rich thanks to that favor, and we are going to extort this money.”
“…excellent!”
Headmaster Skeleton was startled by Lee Han’s notice.
Usually, when talking about these nine children, I would only pay attention to the fact that they were dragons or that they were the emperor’s favorite children, so I would be nervous.
However, this disciple was not seduced by such things and immediately recognized the true purpose.
“This is really great. I am happy with your growth!”
“haha. It’s thanks to the principal’s teaching.”
Alcicle, who was walking beside me, shook his head.
What the Archmage did was a little, no, very different from what Alcicle had imagined.
* * *
‘You’re nervous.’
Standing in front of the fence of the mansion, Lee Han calmed down.
Facing a dragon was more nerve-wracking if you knew in advance.
The emperor was rather embarrassed to meet without knowing, but the third child of the emperor was as nervous as he knew.
What kind of dragon is it?
‘I said it was eccentric.’
There were many kinds of eccentricity.
Cranky like Verdus Cranky like Skeleton Principal Cranky like Professor Voladi…
As the first nine children of His Majesty, he must have easily passed the age of 100, then it was most likely Cranky like Skeleton Principal.
Lee Han imagined the gray-haired old man getting angry.
‘How should I flatter you?’
“eww.”
“Are you okay, Alcicle?”
“Yes.”
Alcicle’s complexion was not good. The beak was lowered and the shoulders narrowed.
Lee Han asked, wondering if it was because of the pressure of meeting the dragon.
“Because of facing you…?”
“Ugh. embarrassing but right In fact, I’ve only seen him once before.”
Lee Han was taken aback by Alcicle’s words.
“Did you?”
“It was terrible at the time.”
“What kind of person were you…”
“Come in!”
The knight guarding the mansion entrance signaled.
Lee Han stopped talking and followed the skeleton principal through the main gate and into the front yard of the mansion. The site was so large that just walking through the front yard took quite a bit of time.
“Are you up now?”
“yes. Fortunately, you were awake.”
The knight said to the skeleton headmaster with a face of sincere relief.
The skeleton principal clicked his tongue and tapped the knight’s shoulder.
“You must have suffered a lot.”
“…Oh no! This is my honor!”
“It is not an honor to be spit in the face. Pack appropriately.”
“…???”
Lee Han, who was behind him, doubted his ears.
Do you get spit in the face?
‘Do you spit?’
Inside Lee Han, the image of a gray-haired, crazy old man rampaging became even worse.
No matter how dragons and children of emperors, spitting at people below them because they feel bad.
“principal. Isn’t this too much?”
“What can I do? I am His Majesty’s child.”
“No…”
Lee Han was disappointed with the reaction that was different from the usual skeleton headmaster.
If it was the headmaster of the skull, even if it was His Majesty’s son, he thought that if he behaved arrogantly, he would be hung upside down and thrown into the punishment room.
“Can’t we just put them in the punishment room?”
“…Sometimes you are my student, but do you know that there are times when you are very surprised?”
Headmaster Skeleton opened the door while being dumbfounded.
The interior of the mansion was similar to that of the emperor.
It was not divided into several zones and rooms like the general races of the empire, but was composed as wide as a single large cave.
The space expansion magic seemed to be used, and the inside seemed several times wider than the outside, and dark and humid air flowed out. If I closed my eyes, I wouldn’t be surprised if I found myself in the depths of a cave.
and! Alcicle!!!
“please!”
With the sound of Alcicle screaming from the side, the big dragon’s front paw snatched the penguin beast.
The golden dragon tossed and caught the penguin beastman and hugged him tightly.
Without blinking an eye, the Skeleton Headmaster cast a powerful protection spell on Alcicle.
Nevertheless, the sound of the force field breaking was vividly audible.
“majesty. Please keep your body tight.”
and! Gonadaltes too!
“majesty.”
I get it. Alcicle… Why didn’t you come like this? You didn’t want to see Jourin?
“Keep… Kkeep. I’ve been busy with work… For a wizard… the mission of magic… please help me.”
You’re talking magic! Magic is boring!
In front of the magician, he calmly said something like a taboo, but Alcicle didn’t respond and just flapped his wings.
Lee Han, who had been watching the young dragon torturing the penguin beast wizard, realized it belatedly.
So that dragon…
“How young is he!?”
“what are you talking about? ah. Did you really think that Her Highness, the princess, would be in a mature state like other races?”
Only then did the skeleton headmaster know why this disciple had called for the young dragon to be thrown into the punishment room.
Before that, I thought he was just an idiot.
“It will take several hundred years for Jourin to grow her hair a bit thicker.”
Even after decades, dragons were able to demonstrate the strength to surpass the knowledge accumulated by quite a few races and break down walls with their bodies, but their mental age was not.
Even a dragon that has lived for hundreds of years has the mindset of a teenage boy.
The Emperor’s third princess, Jo Woo-rin, who was very excited, launched a penguin seal with her front paw.
Arcicle fly! fly!
“I can’t fly… These are not flying wings!”
fly!
“!”
Lee Han was thrilled when he saw the potential to use the linguistic magic, albeit briefly.
Indeed, the bloodline of the real dragon was on a different level.
Jourin only released it after playing with Alcicle to her heart’s content. Alcicle, completely exhausted, lay down sobbing.
“…Good job. Go and rest.”
“Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”
Alcicles trudged along, saddened by the fact that his pride as a wizard had disappeared and he had become a penguin trickster.
Jo Woo-rin, who was full of excitement, flapped her little wings and found Yi-han belatedly.
It was an amazing guest who felt tremendous magical power.
Are you Jourin’s new brother??
“no. majesty. I am just human.”
Did Gonadaltes remodel it?
“majesty. If you don’t keep up, I’ll go back like this and won’t visit you again.”
At the headmaster’s words, Jourin screamed. It was a scream that shook the cave.
The skeleton headmaster looked at Lee Han indifferently. I was afraid that I had just been hit by a powerful scream.
However, Lee Han stood calmly. Headmaster Skeleton nodded as if he did well.
“?”
Joe Zourin was wrong. Do not leave!
“yes. Please keep your body tight.”
Humans with so much magical power. What is your name?
“majesty. That expression is wrong.”
Are you wrong? Fucking magic…?
“Don’t forcefully put swear words you don’t know the meaning of into sentences.”
The imperial family nodded in dismay.
“This is Lee Han of the Wardanaz family.”
It was the first time a wizard had so much magical power. A mage like this would be able to play with Jourin.
The gold dragon looked at Lee Han with sparkling eyes.
Recalling the cave penguin show Alcicle had just shown, Lee Han called out to the skeleton principal with an ominous mood.
“Are you doing something like Alcicle-sama?”
“No. You’re not even a penguin beast, aren’t you just smooth? Don’t be confident that you can do something like Pengerin.”
“…not very comforting.”
Joo-rin was excited and brought a silk handkerchief.
Then he threw it at Lee Han.
Infuse your magic!
“Are you going to tear it up?”
not torn! Blow it hard!
Lee Han was puzzled and infused magic into the silk handkerchief.
Surprisingly, this handkerchief did not tear even when a huge amount of mana flowed through it, but it stood firm.
‘surprising!’
It was probably possible because the magic structure inside it was focused only on dispersing mana.
But even considering that, it was surprising.
Is it possible to dissipate power to this extent?
Compared to this, it seemed easier to dissipate the impact so that an egg dropped from thousands of kilometers in the air would not break.
yes? It was made by Gonadaltes! I made it at best, but there was no one to play with, so I used it alone. ruler!
The dragon clamped the handkerchief firmly between the claws of its paws and forced Yihan to hold the other end.
Magical tug of war! Magical tug of war!
“…Uh Principal?”
Lee Han called the skeleton principal, but the skeleton principal was already sitting on a table and chairs spread out in the corner of the cave, sipping coffee.
“Play hard.”
“…!”
You brought me here for this!
