Episode 634
“Kouhai. You can’t hate learning.”
“Ugh.”
“Studying is all about wanting you. Are you comfortable here? If you go into Ein Rogard, it will make you even more miserable. If you fail the test, you will go to the punishment room!”
‘You’re lying too much.’
Alcicle internally hated it.
Of course, Alcicle agreed that the savage needed an education. In particular, education on the history and respect of noble families such as the Pengerin family was desperately needed.
But who is fooled by such lies?
“I don’t like punishment rooms…”
“Yes, yes. Then you should study.”
‘no. That works.’
Pajijik –
A reply came back from the front door of < Room of Investigation >.
Alcicle, who had been looking forward to it, ran in a hurry.
-illusion. Departure of the enema.
“?”
Alcicle tilted his head.
who is the manager?
“Who is the manager? Are you my brother?”
“what did you say?”
“here. It says that the director has departed.”
Lee Han jumped in surprise.
Arcicle was also taken aback by the urgency he hadn’t seen in Wodanaz before.
“Why why? Is something wrong?”
“Can’t you?”
Lee Han received the reply and read it.
However, the content did not change.
-illusion. Departure of the enema.
“No… is it not the wrong way?”
“Who is the manager?”
“Oh, you are the mother-in-law.”
mother (house mother).
So, it was Lee Han’s mother.
Alcicle was startled.
“Did you have a mother?!?!”
“……”
“……”
Yihan and Eandurde stared at Alcicle.
Eandurde cast a special gaze as if looking at trash. Alcicle, who belatedly realized his rudeness, exclaimed in embarrassment.
“I’m sorry. That’s it.”
“Write…”
“No! No. Not that! The head of the Wodanaz appears occasionally, but the wife never showed up, so I didn’t even know she was there!”
Alcicle protested earnestly.
Usually, the head of a noble family or his consort, no matter how sociable, was known throughout the empire.
There are official events that even the most unsociable person has to attend, so word cannot be avoided.
However, there were no rumors about the wife of the Wardanaj family.
The family head appears occasionally, but the wife didn’t say anything, so Alcicle also guessed, ‘Did he die young?’…
“Ah. It’s because the director is a bit unsocial. He hates outdoor activities.”
“?”
I wondered what kind of bullshit Alcicle was.
The Wardanaj family was already the most unsociable family in the Empire.
Right now, the head of state doesn’t even appear unless the empire really needs a great wizard, so what?
“Uh… Wodanaz. This may be rude, but your family is… already asocial, isn’t it? The head of the household is not a sociable person either…”
“Ah. Compared to the director, the head of household is a sociable person.”
“…!!!”
While Alcicle was shocked, Lee Han explained further.
It was easy to misunderstand because the people of the Empire did not even know of its existence, but the mother of the Wodanaz family and the director of the Dawn Library was alive and well.
I just hate outdoor activities.
“No matter how much you hate it, how can you not be known like this?! Officials…”
“Hmm. It’s magic.”
“…I’m a wizard too. Magic is not omnipotent.”
“So it’s like this.”
When the Lord of Wodanaz received a call saying, ‘There is a great drought in the western part of the empire, please help’, he moved the entire sea water to drain the salt, and then built a reservoir.
That much will do.
But the wife just ignored the call.
Then, erase the memory of the messenger who delivered the message, erase the memory of the bureaucrat who sent the messenger, and if the superior was involved, erase the memory of the superior as well… “……”
Arcicle
was shocked and couldn’t keep his mouth shut.
Of course, among the highest realms of fantasy magic, there was magic that could cut off the opponent’s memories.
However, for a very short moment, that was a level that slightly touched the memory of the immediate past.
Did you falsify all of the memories related to an important figure like the Wardanaj family without missing a single member of the Empire?
“Does that make sense?!”
“It makes sense, Alcicle-nim doesn’t know.”
“…That’s right.”
Alcicle shuddered as if cold ice had been applied to his spine.
Even when I came, I had a light heart that I would devote myself to the amazing magic of the Wodanaz family and the outstanding wisdom of the family head, but now I only heard fear mixed with awe, like when a boy who first learned magic met the archmage.
is this magic
“hmm. I don’t know why the manager is here. In fact, I haven’t even talked about it a few times.”
“When was the last time you spoke?”
“Was it your birthday when you were eight? At that time, he came, gave me a gift, and entered the dimension right away.”
I knew it was a really useless question, but Alcicle couldn’t overcome his curiosity.
“What did you give me?”
“It was a magic book that looked expensive, but the family lord took it back because it was dangerous. Just give me money.”
Lee Han grumbled as if he was sorry.
‘I don’t think that’s the problem…’
Knocked out.
The door to the < Room of Exploration > opened with a small sound.
From within came the most ferocious and menacing demon Alcicle had ever seen.
Alcicle realized that the light emitted by his defensive artifacts was dimming.
Some demons damaged living beings just by looking at them, but the demon in front of them was just such a demon.
Lee Han quickly covered Eandurde’s eyes.
“Chief! You haven’t been able to transform!”
-ah.
As if realizing it belatedly, the demon released the transformation magic. A pale and slender human wizard appeared.
From that appearance, Alcicle wondered if what Wodanaz said earlier was actually a joke or a lie.
How could a sorcerer with such an intelligent and melancholy look be so eccentric?
“You’re a penguin beast.”
“yes. This is Alsicle of the Pengerin family.”
“okay.”
Rayana, director of the Dawn Library and Lee Han’s mother, raised a finger.
Alcicle stood still innocently, unaware of what was about to happen.
“Chief! You can’t erase your memory!”
“Why?”
“Alsicle’s mouth is the heaviest in the Empire!”
“…omg! I will never tell you where to go!”
Alcicle cried out in fright when he realized that his memory had just been blown away.
Rayana nodded. It wasn’t because he believed Lee Han or Alcicle, it was a nod as if he wasn’t interested.
“He entered Ein Lorgard.”
“yes. I am devoting myself to becoming a wizard who does not harm the family name.”
“I’m not sure if learning under mundane wizards is a good way.”
They were the professors of Einrogard who suddenly became mundane wizards.
Lee Han replied as if he wasn’t too surprised.
“My level is also low, so I think it’s effective.”
“okay. Don’t you have the magic books you need?”
“it’s okay.”
Alcicle looked at him from the side, saying ‘Why did you refuse!?’, but Lee Han remained calm.
It was obvious that even if I told her the name of the magic book she needed, it wouldn’t come back properly anyway.
I would definitely recommend a strange magic book that could cause your mind to collapse the moment you read it while saying ‘don’t read that vulgar magic book’.
“By the way, what happened to you, Director?”
“I heard you enrolled in Ein Lorgard and trained for a year.”
Alcicle was slightly moved.
“You were worried about whether I was okay.”
“I came to see how much magic has improved. You could say that I was worried about whether that was okay. The half-blood gorgon next to you is the son you gave birth to a penguin beast?”
“no.”
Alcicle twitched his beak in fright, but Mrs. Wodanaz didn’t care.
“While working as a principal, if there is a magic book you need, don’t hesitate to tell me at any time.”
“…Director. I just finished my first year.”
“ah.”
There was silence for a moment.
Rayana said as if she was mistaken.
“Did I overwrite my wisdom?”
“The magic failed.”
“My magic is not wrong. Han Lee. If either one is wrong, the future is wrong.”
‘You’re acting ridiculously far-fetched.’
Lee Han internally rebelled against his mother’s words.
What kind of nonsensical force would you make when you saw the absurd future of being the headmaster of Einrogard?
“If you miss the magic books while learning under common wizards, feel free to write. I will find and send you an answer at the latest.”
“yes. thank you.”
“Then I’m busy with work, so stop.”
Rayana gestured lightly and passed through the door again to enter the dimension.
Only then did Alcicle let go of his tension and let out a strong sigh.
Rumors once circulated about the family head of the Wodanaz family that ‘that’s magic covered in human skin’, but the wife just seemed like magic that wasn’t even covered in skin.
Trying to cut Alcicle’s memory with one finger without using a wand.
“It was… really a great experience!”
As the fear subsided, Alcicle spoke excitedly.
I didn’t notice earlier because I was overwhelmed, but looking back, it was a truly amazing experience.
From the appearance of the wife to the exit.
All the magical powers around him were in the hands of the director. It was with that confidence that he tried to cast magic with his fingers without a wand.
As Alcicle was also a magician, apart from fear, he had no choice but to shudder at the madness.
“Aren’t you crazy…?”
“Shh. You just have to think inside. It’s rude if you spit it out.”
Eandurde and Lee Han grew apart, disgusted by Alcicle’s reaction.
You just looked at it and said it was a good experience?
“Ah no… Hey Wardanaz. You may be familiar because I see you often because you are related, but I was shocked.”
“How many times have I not met you in my life?”
‘Oops. This bastard is less shocked because of his magical power.’
Come to think of it, even when he was in demon form earlier, Wardanaz was just calm.
Resistance was also resistance, but the right to control magical powers around was also an important factor to magicians, like birthrights.
The moment the confidence in being able to control the magic around him was lost, the wizard received a strong blow to his mind.
This was very lethal as well-preserved concentration and belief are the source of magic.
But Wodanaz was different.
Even if all of the magic power control around him was taken away, since he had so much magic power, the control power around him did not pass over a certain amount.
Just as a heavy rock does not move no matter how strong the wind blows, Wodanaj did just that.
“Anyway! I was really surprised.”
“Yes… well…”
“Seeing that your wife calls herself the director, it must be a really great library.”
Libraries and libraries in empires were more often built to protect great visions than to spread knowledge.
The position of director of such a library or library was inherited along with the family and was an honorable name in itself.
Considering that Mrs. Wodanaz has taken herself as the curator, it must be a library that has been handed down since ancient times.
“When I was little, my older brother got a gift from that book, and he almost died.”
“It must be a really great library, right?”
Alcicle pretended not to hear and changed the topic.
Well, come to think of it, a couple whose hobby is dimension exploration wouldn’t have put in a normal magic book.
Perhaps each book is a deadly forbidden book.
“I’m still envious.”
‘Are you really crazy?’
Irrespective of Lee Han’s thoughts, Alcicle said with an impressed face.
“One is the head of the Wardanaj family, and the other is the director of an ancient library. The two of you must have joined hands to complete the great magic. I want to meet a spouse like that.”
In Alcicle’s opinion, the most insignificant marriage was one in which people indulged in lust and joined each other.
The next was a marriage in which each thought of family honor and profit. This was an ordinary marriage.
The greatest marriages were those for noble purpose and knowledge.
For the great study of magic without any selfishness or lust…
“They just fell in love at first sight and got married.”
“……”
