Episode 626
‘You’re worried about something like that…’
Giselle held back a sigh and raised her head.
Isn’t that her own sister though?
“Just look at my swordsmanship. More than that, why should you show Wardanaj your swordsmanship?”
When there was no one else in the gymnasium, Ziclin abandoned his usual stern appearance and answered his brother’s question more comfortably.
“I promised to show you, so it is.”
‘Is that so?’
Giselle was puzzled.
When do you make that promise?
“Why did you make such a promise?”
“When I talked about fighting a giant swordsman in the past, they clapped for wanting to see swordsmanship.”
“……”
Wasn’t that just a greeting?
Giselle knew very well that Wodanaz could be flattered if needed.
Even if the headmaster sends the prince to the punishment room, isn’t he a toxic person who can say, ‘It’s a great choice, haha’.
“There must be a chance.”
“You don’t have much to meet, do you?”
‘I know?’
Giselle hesitated as her sister stabbed her to the core.
Certainly this winter was an exception, and usually there were no visits by Wardanaj to the family manor.
Fortunately, it was.
“Good for you!”
“Giselle.”
‘Oops.’
When Giselle’s expression hardened, Giselle realized her mistake.
“Friends should be cherished.”
“No…”
“Don’t be pretentious.”
“It’s not a bluff… kuh. I was wrong.”
Knowing her sister’s stubbornness, Giselle just gave up. Fortunately, Ziclin nodded.
“By the way, if you’re going to show off your swordsmanship, you showed it on the last hunt… weren’t there many opportunities?”
“Isn’t that a proper demonstration?”
Zicline tapped the scabbard with her finger and said.
Originally, in order to feel the swordsmanship properly, it was good to face the swordsmanship in person.
And to face-to-face, even if it was practice, it was good to have a confrontation.
“……”
Giselle was astonished.
Would it be okay if it was a knight within the family?
“That’s a bit…”
“Giselle. Friends are precious…”
“No, I say this because I value them!”
Giselle really didn’t want to step out like this for Wodanaz.
But now, how can you stay still when Ziclin is about to break an outsider’s limbs and rupture his muscles?
“I also have to call you unconditionally. You know!?”
“i get it. okay.”
G-Clean looked at her younger brother’s grumbling and said he was cute. Giselle was dumbfounded and nearly grabbed the back of her neck.
After the conversation, the knights entered the gymnasium one by one. G-Clean was polite, as if the comfortable attitude he had just shown was a lie.
“Giselle. Let’s see swordsmanship.”
“yes. … Wait a minute sister. Why does my father keep taking Wardanaz with him?”
I was distracted by the swordsmanship story, so I was missing it, but thinking about it, it was strange that the householder had Wodanaz.
Why do you keep taking guests like that because you have a lot to talk about with outside guests?
“Giselle. Focus on your swordsmanship.”
‘Oh really.’
* * *
The servant of the household was surprised when he opened the door to the office and entered.
The family head, who had always been sitting with a cold expression, was looking at the boy of the Wodanaz family with a satisfied look he had never seen before.
If the cold-hearted Gajoo was that level, it was almost at the level of honey dripping from his eyes.
“What’s going on?”
“Ah yes! Zicline said he has something to tell you…”
“If it’s not urgent, tell him to wait. ruler. Let’s talk more. Wardanaz County. Can the high wind barrier on the northern cliff be improved?”
“I haven’t confirmed it, but it seems possible if the structure is the same as the one I’ve solved so far.”
“How amazing. I’ve never heard of anything like this from other wizards.”
“In fact, instead of saving reagents, it is a way to increase the burden on the individual wizard. It’s not common.”
‘Didn’t I say that he often did it in Ein Lorgard?’
The housekeeper was puzzled inwardly.
Shouldn’t it be used frequently within Einrogard if the burden on the individual wizard is aggravated?
“Mr. Wardanaz. You can’t just accept something like this in good faith.”
“haha. no.”
In fact, Lee Han also wanted to receive money.
However, this wasn’t Ein Rogard, it was outside where the laws and rules of the empire were alive and breathing. I couldn’t hold on to anyone and ask them to give me money.
Like the skeleton headmaster, he was invited as a family friend and stayed, but he couldn’t receive gold coins in the name of repair work.
Of course, the head of the family knew that well. Asking a guest more than once or twice is rude, even for the inviter.
“What if I asked the principal and sent an official request to Einrogard?”
“!”
Lee Han admired the family leader’s words.
As expected of the head of a large family like the Moradi family, he was very polite, good-natured, kind, and wonderful.
Instead of asking for more for free, I was prepared to pay a proper fee.
‘As expected, the Moradi family is not the shield of the North for nothing. It’s a great family.’
“yes. I’ll be waiting for you.”
Lee Han hesitated to answer.
Come to think of it, it was because if he received a request like that, Lee Han would have to come here once more to the Northern Territory.
…Are you okay?
‘no. I’ll go out anyway, but a place I know would be better.’
As an exception, Lee Han went outside even in his first year (and fought the Sea Serpent), but from his second year, he often went outside to receive requests from Einrogard.
Being a wizard is basically a job that requires a lot of money.
“okay. Don’t do that. Can you tell me more?”
“How dare I…”
“Pride is not a favored virtue in the Empire. But I think that a competent man must be somewhat arrogant. It’s not arrogance, it’s confidence.”
‘You must be close with the principal.’
Lee Han put on a puzzled expression at the catchphrase he had heard a lot.
Ga-joo continued talking without even knowing that the remark he had just made slightly lowered his favorability rating.
“And how often do guests like this come? I just want to hear it purely. Don’t be afraid to tell me. It doesn’t matter if it’s not magic.”
Gaju looked at Lee Han with a mixture of affection and anticipation.
A student who only finished the first year could improve the magic design of the entire territory.
I thought it was the Wardanaj family, but it was true.
A genius like this might be able to give fresh advice not only in magic, but in other directions!
“hmm. Actually, I did think this way. Aren’t there many apprentice knights from other knight families in the north in this family’s territory?”
“yes.”
Here in the estate, there were many children of other knight families who wanted to be trained and interact under the name of the Moradi family.
Of course, it cost a lot of money, but considering the name and power of the family that would become stronger in the North, it was a profitable business.
“I think the apprentice knights here have a little too much free time.”
“Do you have a lot of free time?”
The family head tilted his head forward, changing his expression at the interesting story. It was to listen more closely to Lee Han’s story.
“yes. In my spare time, I go around chatting, looking for other customers and talking…”
“Hmm. However, if you are a knight, it is essential to have exchanges with knights from other families.”
“you’re right. I know how important it is to connect with each other. But the problem is that so much time is wasted using that as an excuse!”
There was sincerity in Lee Han’s voice, who was constantly tormented by the bored knights who came to play.
That sincerity was also conveyed to the householder.
‘…That’s right!’
To the family head, who always pursues efficiency and rationality, the remarks made by the boy of the Wodanaz family were poignant and painful.
To have an outsider point out a bad habit that you should correct yourself first.
“Apart from the designated hours, we must not allow them to wander around unnecessarily. Just like the Ein Rogard method.”
“Can you tell me more?”
It felt all the more plausible and effective since it was the Einroguard method.
Lee Han nodded and pointed to the lodging area on the map where the knights of other families were staying.
“ruler. This lodging here is too central to the manor. It’s such a good structure to go play somewhere else just by opening the door and going out. It seems to me that all of these towers should be driven to the cliff here. Then you wouldn’t dare to sneak out…”
“……”
Gaju looked at Lee Han with eyes like burning ice.
It was the first time I had ever seen a young man so sincerely wanted to be my chief adjutant.
If it wasn’t for my family and school, I would have sat next to any suggestion!
* * *
“What the hell did you talk about so much?”
“Didn’t you say anything?”
It seemed that he had been eating and sleeping for several days and just talked to the householder.
Lee Han put pickled herring and fried onions on rye bread and took a big bite. When eating with the householder, he was so nervous that he couldn’t eat comfortably.
Alcicle, who was next to me, said jokingly.
“Moradi. Don’t be fooled. ‘Cause I can’t believe when Wodanaz says ‘I didn’t do anything’.”
“Oh, Alsicle of the Pengerin family who left me to go repair the ice wall! sorry. I never thought I would be seen as such!”
“… Hey… I’m sorry…” When
Lee Han openly called out politely, Alcicle was very embarrassed.
“Feel free to call me Alcicle! As usual!”
“I’m not sure what you mean. Alsicle of the Pengerin family.”
“Because I won’t run away again…! I’m really sorry! It wasn’t intentional! Hey, I’ll do you a favor next time! really! I would also like to ask you to eat a hundred sardines!”
“haha. Alcicle. I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Didn’t I always call you comfortably?”
Watching their skit, Giselle yawned and asked again.
“So what were you talking about?”
“Because I didn’t do anything. Youngji is pretty Youngji is good Ah. I heard that the head of the household is entrusting a request to Einrogard. I’ll come during the semester, so would you like to join me?”
“what? It can’t be.”
Lee Han was puzzled by Giselle’s words.
“Why? Is there any reason why I shouldn’t entrust the request to Einrogard?”
“Because it is expensive.”
“……”
For a very realistic reason, Lee Han thought Giselle was joking.
However, Alcicle nodded as if he understood.
“Right. Ein Lorgard is expensive.”
“Is that enough?”
“I sometimes want to call Einrogard students to help with magic experiments, but I put up with it when I look at the cost.”
“No, but is the school still short of money?”
“Because magic experiments are more expensive.”
‘What the hell are seniors wasting?’
Even if I bathed in gold coins in a golden bathtub, I think it would be less tiring than this…
“Did it take you so long to talk about magic?”
“Perhaps. But why is it so noisy outside?”
“The lodging where the knights from outside stay has changed. To the edge of the cliff.”
To Alcicle’s question, Giselle explained without thinking.
Lee Han flinched.
‘Did I turn up the heat too much?’
“why?”
“well. It is said to raise the training level of the knights… Wodanaz. Something important happened while you were talking for days.”
“Is there a dinner party tomorrow night? I know. don’t worry.”
“My sister will play against you tomorrow morning.”
“…You’re so mean, Moradi. How could you do this to me?”
“…hey!!”
