Episode 633
“Hey. Wodanaz. You should have told me in advance if a demon like that roamed around.”
“No, I don’t go around.”
Lee Han explained that there seemed to be a misunderstanding.
“No matter how much our family is, it’s not even Einrogard, but it’s not a place where demons are used like that.”
“Then the one in front of me right now is not a devil, but a slime?”
Alcicle confirmed the giant demon outside once again at Lee Han’s words.
Eandurde next to her was groaning with her hair on end.
“Originally golems roam. Demons don’t roam for too long.”
‘I think that’s frightening enough.’
Usually, when Golems are seen in the Empire, it was when Buyeo, Summoning, or Black Magic school wizards made up their minds and rolled up their sleeves.
That’s why each ki was powerful and difficult to make.
Besides, what if it was a golem advanced enough to patrol a territory this large on its own?
I had no idea how difficult it would be to make. From the difficulty level to the production cost, it would have exceeded imagination.
But to use it just for patrol. It was scary in many ways.
“I am a guest.”
Lee Han stuck his head out of the carriage and explained.
The devil looked at Lee Han’s face and nodded.
He didn’t know why a member of the Wodanaz family called himself a guest, but he wasn’t too curious.
I didn’t do it because I liked it anyway, so I thought I’d only do what I was told to do.
-Follow me.
“Hee-ik…”
The coachman regretted his past self, who had driven the wagon to the Wardanaz family for money.
How could I make such a mistake!
“By the way, didn’t the original Golem guide the way? Why the devil?”
-Today we are servicing and repairing the golems. I came out because I rolled the lowest die.
“……”
“……”
The demon of indeterminate form knew how to show that ‘life is really hard’ despite not having facial expressions.
Feeling apologetic for nothing, the three of them quietly shut their mouths and didn’t ask any more.
Alsicle whispered in the carriage.
“How did you catch that devil? Did you summon it from an old ancient vision?”
“well. It could have been, but… I think he usually just picked it up.”
“Where do you get the devil from?”
“Isn’t it another dimension?”
“……”
Alcicle kept his mouth shut and quietly admired the scenery.
I could guess why the devil was in such a bad mood.
* * *
As I ran along the forest road, I saw the huge mansion of the Wodanaz family in the distance.
Originally, you would see people working in the nearby forests and fields, but not seeing any of them gave it an eerie feeling like a ghost estate.
‘Even if it looks like the real me, it must be scary.’
Alcicle looked at Lee Han with disgust.
This Wodanaj family boy didn’t seem to notice anything strange, perhaps because it was his family’s estate.
“Could there be anyone inside?”
“There are several. The knights, the chief attendant and the servants who take care of the mansion…”
Arcicle waited for more to come.
Usually, for a territory of this size, the minimum number of people would start at 100.
Starting with the workers in charge of the fields, there will be forest keepers, woodcutters who will bring timber from the territory, hunters who will offer game, clowns and bards who will periodically stage plays, priests of the church who will help worship at the temple of the territory…
but Lee Han said no more.
“…any more?”
“yes? That’s all.”
“What about the rest of me?”
“Usually golems do it. Sometimes the devil does it, but that’s only occasionally. Don’t get me wrong.”
Lee Han diligently explained whether he did not want to be misunderstood as a demonic family.
Of course, it had no effect. Alcicle was already feeling dizzy.
All over again!
“It’s the Ki Knight!”
Alcicle shouted in a tearful voice at the sight of the knights running from afar.
Even though it had been several hours, people couldn’t be this happy.
Lee Han, who was next to him, asked curiously.
“Did you like the article?”
Alcicle pretended not to hear and waved his hand.
“Here it is! here!”
“This is Alsicle of the Pengerin family. It is an honor to meet you.”
“I am also honored to meet Sir Allarron, who is renowned throughout the Empire!”
Alcicle flapped its wings and welcomed Allarron.
Of course, he was a famous knight in the empire, but the reason for this enthusiastic response was the loneliness of not meeting anyone until recently.
Allarron looked at the devil and said.
“From here on, I will guide you myself.”
– I’m glad.
“Can’t you straighten your attitude in front of guests? Don’t forget that you can extend your sentence by telling the head of the household.”
-Well… I was wrong… Knight. forgive me
Allarron glared at the devil with a stern gaze. The indeterminate demon was downcast and walked to the other side.
The guest guidance is over, so now I had to pick the grapes in the orchard.
“ah. Alcicle of the Pengerin family. Please don’t misunderstand. Originally, House Wardanaj does not have demons. All of a sudden, today is the golem repair day…”
“That’s right. Of course I’m not mistaken. I will never tell you where to go.”
Not knowing that Alcicle was sweating on his back, Allarron happily straightened his mustache.
Allarlong also had some numbness due to his long service in the Wardanaz family.
“Lee Han. I’m glad you’re back. The person next to you is…”
“My junior.”
“I am very happy to have such a strong warrior as my junior. hello?”
“purr.”
Eandurde met Allarron’s eyes and secretly hid behind Lee Han.
I could feel the tremendous strength different from someone like Alcicle.
“What about the head of the household?”
“You are in outer space. It would be best if you contact us right away.”
Lee Han nodded.
Alcicle, who was next to him, asked with curious eyes.
“Are you contacting me?”
“hmm. You know that the family lord is exploring extraterrestrials, right?”
“huh.”
Alcicle shook his head up and down.
Few people in the Empire knew what the Wardanaz patriarch was doing.
Exploring the outer world, or other dimensions connected to the continent, was what the head of the Wodanaz family was currently doing.
Those in the know might wonder why they kept poking their heads into another dimension full of dangerous beings, but in fact, it was unavoidable.
Even if you stay here, beings from other dimensions will be interested in the continent.
Instead of waiting and responding passively, it was the wizard who wanted to travel around the dimensions and take an active response, and the head of the Wardanaz family was the most wizard-like wizard.
And in fact, even if there was no threat of invasion, the wizards would have stuck their heads in. If he was not interested in the mysteries and knowledge of another dimension, he was not qualified as a wizard.
“Since this is a fairly serious job, you spend most of your time in outer space. The first older brother is also helping.”
“Most of the time… how many hours a day? Four or five hours?”
“Except for one or two days a year, most of them are on outer space.”
“!!!”
Alcicle was stunned by those words.
Entering another dimension was dangerous and exhausting, so the wizards tried to come out as quickly as possible and return to the continent.
How careful were the wizards who entered the spirit realm in search of spirits right away.
I made a shield with all kinds of magic circles and magic and went in.
Even when dealing with relatively peaceful and safe spirits among beings from other dimensions, but just wandering around the alien dimensions and making them their homes.
“How is that possible?”
“Did you make a dimension gate artifact and go inside?”
“Oh no. Not the way they got inside… it’s amazing anyway.”
Alcicle nodded, soothing his pounding heart.
Even just hearing this, I felt it was worth coming to the Wodanaz family.
Do you think something like that would be possible?
It felt like witnessing the distant horizon of the study of magic.
“But contact me. Can you send me a call as well?”
“yes. They said it was some kind of magic artifact, but I’m not sure exactly how it works.”
“An artifact that can send messages across dimensions…!”
Alcicle shuddered.
Of course, Alcicle was able to send a telepathic message to someone who briefly visited the safe dimension with restrictions placed on it.
It was about as difficult as telling a friend who had gone under a shallow puddle.
However, if you are a wizard who freely roams and explores other dimensions, the story is completely different.
How could I say something to a wizard who went into the depths of the sea without a rope?
If that’s possible…
‘I really want to see you!’
“Instead, there are downsides.”
“disadvantage? what?”
“It takes about 30 minutes to get a reply, perhaps because the other dimension is far away.”
“…That could be.”
Alcicle couldn’t help but nod his head at this realistic answer.
but…!
Lee Han took a quill and wrote a letter.
-Patriarch. hello. After one year at Ein Rogard…
Lee Han, who was writing a letter, stopped his quill and frowned.
Alcicle asked cautiously.
“what’s the matter?”
“hmm. I habitually wrote too long. It has to be short.”
“How shorter?”
“It’s like this.”
Lee Han crumpled the paper, threw it away, and wrote again.
-Arrived at Yihan Mansion. Alcicle too.
“hmm. I think we should cut it down more.”
“… Hey, isn’t this a bit off?”
“oh. sorry. Shall we write Pengerin?”
“That’s not it…!”
The dignity and authority of the nobility were above blood ties.
No matter how much parents and children are, the letter was the same as calling them by official titles in public places.
And no matter how close you are, Alcicle is a guest, so isn’t it too small!
“Joe, write me a little more.”
“no. Four words are a bit long now. The head of the family might be angry at you for giving up.”
“I hope it can’t be. So just one word! Say I’m Alcicle of the Pengerin family.”
“That’s two words.”
The two were able to complete the final version of the letter after a scuffle.
-Leehan Pengerin Alcicle.
“Then I will send it like this.”
On the first floor of the mansion, Lee Han stood in front of a huge hall called the < Room of Exploration > and threw a letter into the mouth of the door.
As you can tell by looking at the powerful and complex flow of magical power felt inside, this was the forefront of extraterrestrial exploration.
‘Amazing. I can’t believe that I feel this much different from studying at Ein Lorgard for a year.’
Lee Han was amazed as he felt the swirling flow of magic within him.
Just a year ago, it just felt like a huge mass of magical power, but now I could feel the distinct patterns in it.
Beside him, Alcicle admired the magical power and sighed, then admired the magical power and then sighed.
“Why is that? Are you hungry?”
“no! I think the letter is too rude…”
“That’s enough. Please wait for a reply. really. I’ll go to the kitchen and ask you to cook sardines.”
“Oh no. are you okay. I’m not here to eat.”
Either that or not, Lee Han went to the kitchen and asked for a sardine dish.
Then, from the back of the kitchen, a gigantic irregular demon with dozens of horseshoes walked out gloomily.
“…Where is that demon going?”
“I’m going to go get sardines. ruler. Junior. Let’s study while we wait.”
Eandurde pretended not to hear, and pretended that the mansion was strange, like Alsicle.
