Episode 635
Alcicle’s beak twitched at the fact that was so shocking.
“Don’t lie. The two of you can’t do that. There’s no way he
could have gotten married while falling into lust like that…”
Lee Han said calmly.
Often, when talking with the head of household, unsolicited love stories popped up, which was quite distressing.
“Does real love make magic stronger?? I thought love was something like dregs that get in the way of magic…
”
“How can you say something like that, Wodanaz? What did I do so wrong?”
Alcicle had a hurt expression on his face at the abusive words of a junior wizard with outstanding talent.
“…It just came to my mind without much thought. sorry.”
“I am different from Gonadaltes. Of course, Lord Gonadaltes could have said something similar. but it’s distinctly different. I will marry after confirming the other person’s intentions, even if it is for the sake of completing great magic.”
‘Isn’t this the principal cursing at me by turning it into a person to be kidnapped?’
As Alcicle thought more seriously about marriage than he thought, Lee Han became curious and asked.
“Do you have anyone you are talking about getting engaged to?”
“There are people who have a story. that’s right. Wodanaz. would you like to listen? You might be able to judge it well.”
‘shit. I need to change my habits.’
Lee Han regretted himself for asking the question without thinking.
You keep throwing words without controlling your curiosity, and then you dig your own grave.
I was tired of the love story of the family head, but how boring is the story of the fiancé of Arcicle?
‘And does my advice make sense here?’
Even if he could give advice on things like magic or business plans, Lee Han couldn’t demonstrate his abilities when contemplating who Alcicle was going to be engaged to.
At most, the question that comes to mind is ‘Does the other person like sardines too?’…
“One of the people who have been talked about in the family right now is the daughter of the Arba family. It’s an Albatross beast family. Traditionally, male penguins and male albatrosses are more likely to give birth to outstanding offspring, so I think this is an advantage.”
“……”
Lee Han had to hold back the feeling of wanting to cover his ears.
‘It’s biological knowledge that I’m not really curious about.’
An imperial myth about the compatibility between a penguin beastman and an albatross beastman.
Looking to the side, my junior was already asleep.
“okay.”
“The other person I talked about is the adjutant of the Sebing Magic Tower. As people who study the cold element intensively, it would be good to match the topic together.”
“and. I must be very, very happy.”
Lee Han gave a fake answer, then paused.
Even if he listened, he wasn’t too sincere.
‘Did I speak too roughly?’
However, Alcicle was pleased.
“yes? I am glad that you rate it highly.”
“……”
Lee Han felt apologetic at that reaction.
‘I’ll have to think about it more seriously.’
“The last person I talked to was Sir ■■■■■■.”
“…What language was it just in?”
“ah. you won’t hear it with your ears It’s a spirit name. It is a spirit that is related to our family. I’m thinking about what it would be like to make a contract with this spirit. The advantage is that it is a cold spirit, so it is helpful for my magic.”
In the Empire, contracts with spirits were more diverse than expected.
There were normal types of contracts, as the students of Ein Rogard did, but sometimes wizards made unusual types of contracts with powerful spirits.
Among them, the contract belonging to the most unusual axis was a contract in the form of a marriage contract.
The jealous spirits wanted to monopolize the magician, and the magician wanted to borrow the spirit’s power (or fell in love with the spirit) even at the risk of that… This is how they make a strong contract
.
“The Spirit is a good partner. really. Do you know that I made a contract with that spirit? Here are the squirrel and sparrow spirits.”
“?”
Alcicle was slightly taken aback when Lee Han suddenly boasted of his spirit.
It was not a rare or uncommon spirit, it was just an ordinary low-level spirit.
‘What do you mean?’
“Those… they are so cute and smart, aren’t they?”
“Yes?”
Lee Han entered the mansion and put on the most happy expression. Alcicle didn’t know why, but he was relieved to think he had answered well.
“So which of the three do you like best?”
“hmm. Mr Penguin. Which of the three were you most happy with?”
Lee Han asked a standard question.
To be honest, it was annoying to ask such a thing, but I couldn’t get past it at all.
“huh? Haven’t we met before?”
“yes?”
“I have never met you. All three of them have only heard the name.”
“……”
Lee Han was deeply frustrated.
Alcicle was a more strange person than I thought.
‘Shall I just tell them to use the Foresight Magic?’
The one who helped Lee Han, who was worried, was the irregular demon who had left earlier.
Returning with the sardines, the devil spoke to the kitchen in a weary voice.
– I brought it.
“Oh. devil I will invite my friends in a little while. Can you help me?”
-……
The devil twisted his body while cursing himself for pulling the dice low.
Why, on a day like this, did the dice roll so low?
“Pengerin. I’m worried that the banquets at our mansion aren’t really that diverse.”
Alcicle nodded, unaware that Lee Han changed the topic.
“There aren’t many people after all?”
“yes. In the first place, most of them are outside, and the few knights and attendants who do not like to eat luxuriously…”
The family did not lack food, but there were not many items and most were frugal.
When a friend like Gainando came to eat, he was sure to ask, ‘This is an appetizer and there is a separate main dish?’
‘But is that important now?’
Alcicle looked at the bleak landscape outside the mansion and thought.
I think I should worry about other things first rather than preparing a dinner for my friends who are coming right now…
“It’s enough to go to town and scrape something useful. On the way, I saw that the village was quite large.”
-Damn the penguin…
muttered the devil, getting ready to leave.
If you’re going to order it, don’t do it all at once, but divide it like this!
Alcicle was flustered and explained.
“No, I didn’t mean to do that.”
“Aren’t you saying too much! You are still a guest!”
At Lee Han’s cry, the indeterminate demon completely shrank.
– I was wrong. Mr. Wodanaz. Please don’t extend the sentence.
“Be careful going forward. Anyway, Pengerin. As you said, I will go to the village and buy something useful. Junior. You’ve finished your studies up to here. I will test it when I come back.”
“Can I shop for groceries too…”
“No.”
The demon had no face, but looked at Eandurde eagerly.
If I could become that kid, I felt like I could give my soul.
“wait for a sec. Wodanaz.”
“yes?”
“Are you going to town with that devil?”
“yes. it’s okay. It is bound by a contract and cannot be bought or sold.”
‘That’s not the problem.’
No matter how much the devil was bound by a contract, he did not use it as a pack horse to visit the market.
How scared would the villagers be when they saw it?
Alcicle stopped trying to point out.
It was a bit like coming as a guest and meddling too much in the traditions of the other family.
“Um… yes… have a good day.”
“yes.”
Lee Han went out the front door like a devil.
While the two of them were silently walking down the trail, Lee Han suddenly remembered the conversation earlier and asked.
“Demon. Do you want your betrothal to be someone who can give birth to an outstanding child, someone who is good at studying magic, or someone who can give you great power?”
-I don’t know much about wizards, but the best way to get engaged is to do it with someone you love and your heart beats.
“…!?”
* * *
Alcicle looked after Eandurde’s studies (this half-breed Gorgon kid constantly tried to escape and do other things) and waited for Yihan to return.
‘Isn’t the head of the house coming?’
When I looked at the front door of the < Room of Exploration >, there was no further contact. He was probably busy with extraterrestrial exploration.
Alcicle felt sorry for him, but he thought that was unavoidable. In fact, it was such a sudden visit, and just meeting Mrs. Rayana Wodanaj was a great enough event.
Kiki-
Someone came inside with the sound of the door opening on the first floor of the mansion.
Alcicle stuck out his head, wondering if Lee Han had returned. Eandurde quickly crawled under the table to escape.
“?”
A strange spirit I had never seen before was walking into the first floor entrance. Alcicle blinked in surprise before coming to his senses.
‘No, it’s not a spirit!?’
At first, I thought it was a spirit because the energy of nature was so strong, but when I looked closely, it wasn’t a spirit.
The opponent was a living person.
Earth spirits were tangled in each hair, and small thunder spirits were playing around on the bridge of the nose and eyebrows.
Arsicle was surprised to see the difficult-tempered thunder spirits playing without harming people.
Quite a few spirit wizards couldn’t show such a high level of affinity.
The opponent put down the large leather backpack he was holding. The old rucksack was full as if it was going to burst at any moment.
Alcicle was nervous not knowing what would come out of it.
“…?”
What came out of it was old junk.
An old stone slab with chipped teeth and cracked lettering, a rusted tip, a broken flagpole… The
opponent carefully put them down one by one and began to manage them. Dozens of spirits helped with the task with all their might.
Alcicle was once again surprised by that appearance.
It was surprising that what came out of it was a mess, but it was really amazing that the spirits were so devoted to their work without complaining.
And without any magic or command!
‘How is that possible? There’s no way that could be possible with affinity alone. It must be something like an artifact…’
Eandurde sneaked out from behind Alcicle, who was staring at her intently, knocking over the chair.
bang!
“?”
The stranger looked up and looked at Alcicle. Alcicle, whose eyes met, stopped as it was.
“Uh… um… Alcicle of House Pengerin. Who are you?”
The opponent did not answer and lowered his head. Then he managed the clutter again.
“I am here. Mr. Pengerin.”
“!!!”
Upon hearing Lee Han’s voice, Alcicle shouted urgently.
“Wardanaz! excuse me! There’s someone you’re seeing for the first time! It’s like a spirit disguised as a human…”
“Huh brother?”
“…???”
Arsil Wodanaz, the second of the Wodanaz family, greeted Lee Han happily.
“What happened to this place… Ah. You said you came to congratulate me on the completion of my year at Einrogard? no. There’s nothing like this… I’m sorry you’ve come too far.”
“??”
Alcicle was taken aback when he saw Lee Han talking alone.
I was talking with my second older brother, but Lee Han alone kept talking.
“Woah Wo Danaz. Is it true what Arsil is saying? Can’t you hear me?”
“It’s close to the spirit language, so you won’t be able to hear it. I can hear it because I have blood.”
“for a moment. Can humans speak the spirit language?”
“Because my older brother always did it…”
“…”
The appearance of Wodanaz calmly making a sound that would make Imperial spirit mages or linguists faint if they heard it made Arsicle come to a certain family’s territory. I felt keenly that it was there.
