Episode 632
While they were having a conversation like that, Duke Ikal Doren managed to spit out the gag in his mouth.
Even in the midst of his capture and being led away, the duke fired back, trying not to let go of the dignity and dignity that he had always possessed.
“What is this… what is this!”
The three stopped talking and looked at the Duke hesitantly.
Duke Ikhaldoren looked away, perhaps thinking that convincing the other two was much more likely than Principal Skeleton.
Who would be more eloquent, the headmaster Skull’s ambitious apprentice or the alsicle of the Pengerin family?
“Arcicle of the Pengerin family!”
Lee Han was slightly disappointed when Duke Ikaldoren called Alcicle instead of calling him.
Aren’t you more trustworthy than Alcicle in this situation?
‘I’m sure you’ve talked to me before.’
“You misunderstood the person.”
Alcicle didn’t want to get involved in this, so he pretended not to know.
However, there weren’t that many penguin beasts in the empire. This was especially true of Suin, a penguin whose blood was thick enough to be Alcicle.
“Isn’t it the arksicle of the Pengerin family! Are you going to stay still even after seeing the scene of this violation?”
“no. Mr. Gonadaltes. If you’re going to gag it, you have to bite it properly.”
Alcicle grumbled.
Wasn’t it because I didn’t keep the gag tight enough to hear these words?
As long as I heard the words directly, it became difficult to withdraw my foot if it became a problem later.
Despite Alcicle’s cold reaction, the duke did not give in. Rather, he shouted more sternly and forcefully.
“Consider the reputation of the Pengerin family. Do you think it’s okay to stay still? Are you going to just watch the evil deeds of these two here!”
“…Wait a minute. Why two, Your Highness?”
Lee Han protested as if it was absurd.
Headmaster Skeleton kidnapped Lee Han, doesn’t he have anything to do with it?
Of course, the duke pretended not to hear Lee Han’s words and ignored them.
Lee Han had already been clearly branded as an apprentice of the skeleton headmaster and an accomplice in the kidnapping.
“No matter how great a wizard you are, there is an imperial law, and you absolutely have no authority to do something like this…” “
Ah. Stop whining. little bastard.”
The skeleton headmaster spat out as if it was annoying.
“Did I kidnap you without thinking? Of course, I could have kidnapped her, so I would have kidnapped her.”
“What… nonsense…”
said the duke, feeling fear welling up in him.
In the current situation, there was only one reason why the skeleton principal could act as he pleased.
“Your subordinates who entered Ein Lorgard. Did you think I didn’t hear you? I already caught it when I came in.”
‘and. You’re shameless.’
Lee Han stuck out his tongue.
I couldn’t find it for almost a year (actually, it was hard to find it if it turned into a statue), and then found it right before vacation and pretended like I knew it originally.
But the bluff was very effective. The duke felt a shock as if he had been hit in the back of the head with a hammer.
‘I knew from the beginning…?!’
He thought he might have gone missing or died because he had lost contact with his subordinate, but he could not have been captured.
Then, what did the Headmaster Skeleton and the boy from the Wardanaz family visit and do after that?
“Then why the hell are you still…”
“I waited to see how you behaved. It was fun.”
“!!!!”
The duke was stiff and unable to move, as if he had been struck by lightning. It was a shock as if the sky was collapsing.
To think that he, who had exerted a strong influence in the political and social circles of the empire through conspiracies and schemes all his life, was being made fun of without even noticing.
I couldn’t believe it.
“Nonsense… nonsense…! Did you mean acting? What did that boy do to me?”
“Uh, that’s smoke…”
“That’s right. I was playing with you.”
“……”
Lee Han didn’t have anything to say, so he just nodded. You can’t ruin the skeleton headmaster’s plan here.
The duke was frustrated, as if he didn’t have the strength to shout any more.
A man who was so majestic when he was wearing dozens of artifacts now looked shabby like a sick old man.
The skeleton headmaster who saw that tapped the Duke on the shoulder.
“cheer up. you are not lacking I was just great.”
“Eternal life… does it make sense that you alone have the secret of eternal life!”
Unlike before, the duke shouted as if in a fit of fuss.
“If you are the most cunning and insidious of the empire’s mages, you must have it. The secret of eternal life! to have it alone It should be given to the nobility of the empire!”
“It’s for you, not the nobles of the empire.”
Skeleton Headmaster was indifferent.
There were always old nobles who came to the skull headmaster at the right time and acted as if he had entrusted them with the secret of eternal life.
I’ve seen it so many times that I’m not really impressed anymore.
“If you say you’re going to tell the secret to the lower nobles, you’ll have a seizure, but don’t speak as if you’re representing the nobles.”
“It’s just that the noblest nobles should take care of that secret first!”
“The meaning of nobleness is a little different from mine.”
Skeleton Principal replied nonchalantly.
“Young bastard. You probably think you’re a great pillar of the Empire, right? With so many titles and so many responsibilities, how chaotic the empire would be if you disappeared. I would have been thinking about these things.”
The duke didn’t answer, but there was a faint expression of acceptance on his face.
“But the truth is that most of what you do is child’s play. The things you do don’t matter much to the Empire even if you don’t. Even if no one did it, it didn’t matter much to the empire. Do you really know what the great pillars of the Empire are? The head of the Wodanaz family here is a great pillar. It’s really important to explore the outer world and protect the empire from monsters and demons flowing out of it.”
Headmaster Skeleton was neither angry nor more contemptuous than necessary.
I was just saying it with annoyance, as if explaining to someone who doesn’t know anything.
The boredom made the duke even more frightened.
“The reason you were able to comfortably play house with the nobles was because someone like me, the family head, or the emperor was protecting you. noble? Do you know what your ancestors were doing during the old mayhem? All the gates of the castle were locked, and he was alone with his head in the fireplace. Just praying for the demons to pass by. What kind of nobility does a guy who has only done well in his life claim to have met his father?”
Headmaster Skeleton took a step forward. The duke wriggled to escape for a moment, but there was nowhere to run.
“Do you want to know the secret of eternal life? don’t let me know I’ve never hidden anything like the secret of eternal life. little boy A guy like you would think my storehouse is full of immortal treasures from ancient times, but the only things sleeping in my storehouse are vicious and cursed artifacts. These are items that will bring disaster to the continent the moment a young guy like you takes them out. Even if there was such a treasure, would a guy like you handle it? A guy like you who doesn’t even know the basics of magic?”
Headmaster Skeleton tapped the duke’s head with the tip of his staff.
“There is only one secret that can reach eternal life. It’s magic. Forget the idea of finding the secret of eternal life as a treasure. Eternal life is not what you think.”
Despite the principal’s words, the Duke was overwhelmed and made no reply.
Headmaster Skeleton threw the duke aside as if he didn’t care.
“I guess I’ll have to imprison him in Ein Lorgard for a few years. If you ever meet him in the punishment room, don’t release him.”
“Why would I?”
“Seeing that you freed Bible, I thought you had a hobby of freeing people you hate.”
“……”
Realizing that it would be disadvantageous to talk more, Lee Han changed the topic.
“By the way, why are you imprisoning the Duke? It looks like you’ve already done it…”
Duke Ikhaldoren wore artifacts that he could buy at least one fort even when he was walking around.
Seeing that the skeleton headmaster brought them, it was clear that all of the artifacts had been unlocked.
And if it had been canceled, it would have gone into the principal’s pocket.
There’s no way he wouldn’t have robbed other things while robbing the artifacts, so he probably scrapped quite a bit of the mansion’s property…
“What are you talking about? It starts now.”
Headmaster Skeleton scolded Lee Han as if he was amazed at his innocent thoughts.
Young guys these days didn’t know much about the old traditions.
In the old days, once you caught a nobleman, it didn’t end with just stealing what you had.
The ransom was extorted by expanding to noble families and noble family or maternal families.
Of course, since the other party is not a hukou, it will not be easy to come up with, but in the end, the person who has the party has an advantage in this negotiation.
Duke Ikaldoren would also like to pay as little damage as possible right now, but the longer he stays in the Punishment Room, the more he will suddenly have new assets and be able to pay the appropriate amount.
“……”
“……”
Lee Han and Arcicle exchanged glances.
‘Should we go soon?’
‘It sounds like a good idea.’
“Then we’ll go away.”
“see you next time. Mr. Gonadaltes.”
“okay. be careful. Both suffered a lot. See you at school.”
The Skeleton Principal shook hands with the Death Knights.
After waking up a junior sleeping in the next room, Lee Han quickly got out of the carriage with Alcicle.
* * *
Alcicle checked his clothes. His whole body was full of tension that didn’t go well with Alcicle.
Eandurde asked as if he did not understand.
“Are you out of a duel?”
“I hope you are stupid. It’s comforting not knowing what kind of family the Wodanazs are… oh! This guy!?”
Eandurde immediately kicked Alcicle in the shin. Alcicle, who had been taken by surprise, screamed.
-Uh, are you going to take that guy to the family?
-yes. After the vacation is over, I will go back to Einrogard anyway, so I’m going to have them study together until then. I’m afraid I’ll learn something weird if I stay with the principal.
-It’s too much for that guy. To be able to visit the Wardanaj family.
-Isn’t that enough? If you want to visit Alcicle, it’s okay to visit.
-what? really?
-yes. The reason our family doesn’t invite people is because there are no people in the family, not because there are some strict rules.
-Wait a minute. Get some new clothes.
-There’s no such thing…
After getting ready, the three of them found a carriage to ride near the village.
The coachman, who was yawning, looked at the three and asked.
“Where are you going?”
“Please go to the Wardanaz family mansion.”
“……”
The coachman, who had just been sitting comfortably, suddenly straightened his posture. His face was full of fear.
“Whoa… Are you the Wardanaj family?”
“no?”
“??”
“????”
Alsicle and Eandurde looked at Yihan. However, Lee Han answered shamelessly.
“I am visiting as a guest.”
“Ah… Phew. okay.”
The driver’s tension was reduced by about 5%.
The guests visiting the Wodanaz family were not ordinary people, so it was natural.
“Why lie?”
“People around here are so afraid when they hear the family name.”
‘Is that why people usually cheat on their family name?’
Alcicle thought to himself.
The carriage drove quickly along the road in the woods. The chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves in the wind. The thick recording made the wizards feel good.
Dag dag dag dag-
“Uh. Are they the knights of the Wardanaz family?”
Hearing the sound of horses’ hooves coming from afar, Alcicle wondered if they were knights.
The great aristocratic families that had vast lands had knights patrolling the lands.
They not only caught intruders, but also entertained and let guests in.
Hearing the sound of horses’ hooves, it must have looked like knights…
A gigantic, irregularly shaped demon with dozens of horseshoes arrived in front of the carriage.
-Are you a guest?
“Hick hee!”
Seeing the terrified coachman hiccuping, Alcicle suddenly felt sorry for nothing.
