Episode 654
“This way! Please wait a moment.”
The gatekeepers guarding the Kraha family’s mansion called their servants when the Valdrogard students arrived.
The students were amazed at the vast mansion site. Among the noble families with a long history, there were not many rich families like the Kraha family.
“The Kraha family is really great. It would have been nice if someone from the Kraha family had come to Valdrogard.”
“that’s right. I agree. There’s a mage who’s the same age as us, and I heard that he entered Einrogard.”
“ah. You mean the prince.”
“joy. I don’t like royalty. His nose is too high for a subject that only has a lot of numbers.”
“Be careful what you say, Basiu! The imperial family are the people who inherited the lineage of His Majesty the Great Emperor. They deserve respect.”
The nobility of the empire could be roughly divided into three groups.
One is the loyalists who believe in and support the outstanding members of the imperial family as the next emperor.
The other is the aristocratic faction, which insists on alliance among nobles instead of trusting and supporting the imperial family.
The last one is a Neutralist who neither cares about. Families such as the Wardanaj family were representative neutralists.
As Yingsen was from a loyalist family and Bashiu was from an aristocratic family, even though their friendship was close, they could not compromise on this point.
“Ingsen. Out of respect for your honor, I’ll cancel what I just said. Some royalty definitely deserve recognition! But what about the other members of the imperial family?”
“I won’t say that all members of the royal family are great! But there are few who are lazy and dissolute. They tarnish the honor of the imperial family! The prince of the Kraha family must be a respectable person.”
“joy. I don’t know if you’re a Valdrogard student, but I won’t admit it unless you’re an Einrogard student. He could be mean and twisted.”
“no. As he is from the Kraha family, he won’t be easily stained even if Einrogard’s seniors are mean and vulgar.”
Yingsen believed in the name of the Kraha family.
If he was a prince who inherited the blood of the Kraha family, he would surely have the right to buy the trust of the loyalist family.
“Oh, not so bad!”
“?”
“I was better off. It was full of rotten dirt… Ugh. What am I talking about! You crazy mouth, you crazy mouth!”
A boy with bright blond hair was digging through the ground in a shady place with a hoe and a spade in a shabby outfit.
When the two saw it, they became interested, dismounted from their horses, and approached.
“Bashiu. What do you think it is doing?”
“well. Looking at the outfit, he looks like a servant in the mansion… Are you digging up rotten soil?”
“Isn’t it a magic reagent?”
“Is there a magic that uses rotten soil?”
In Baldrogard, black magic was not dealt with. That’s why the students wondered if there was a magic that could use rotten soil as a reagent.
“The Empire is full of all sorts of strange magic… so there might be.”
“Bashiu. Let’s help.”
Ingsen held onto his staff and said. Bashiu was puzzled and asked again.
“You want to help the servant? Did I hear you wrong?”
It was shameful for a noble to help a servant with his work.
Even the servants here are capable, so why should a visiting noble have to do menial work?
“You heard that right. But what is different from what you think is that he will help you with magic.”
“Yingsen always admires your wisdom!”
Bashiu admired his friend’s wisdom.
It was embarrassing for a nobleman to squat down like a servant while walking down the street to dig up dirt, but it was a wonderful mercy to help him dig up dirt with his magic.
How much word would a servant help spread in the mansion?
“Hey there!”
Ingsen called the servant boy. Kainando looked puzzled and turned his head.
“Looks like you need to dig up some dirt, let me help you. ruler. Look out of the way!”
“What…?”
“Gather, soil. Gather, soil. Gather, soil…”
Yingsen concentrated on memorizing a spell.
Guinando, who blinked at the slow spell casting speed, not knowing what the opponent was doing, realized it belatedly.
“Wait, no way right now…”
“…gather!”
Good food!
With the incantation, the underground soil that Gainando had dug began to rise upward.
It was a good amount of rotten dirt.
Yingsen smiled contentedly, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
“How are you? This should be enough for you to take care of.”
“…What nonsense! You bastard!”
Gainando shouted in anger.
“?!”
Yingsen and Bashiu were shocked and could not even answer. He never expected to hear such words from a servant at the mansion who visited as a guest.
“How dare you say such a thing…”
“Why and how do you say such a thing? You can do it a hundred times! These fools! Maggots not worth sending to this punishment room!”
Gainando stomped his feet and felt unfair.
The two noble boys went into a stupor when the swear words they had learned from Professor Mortum came out.
“Yes… This insult to us for daring to help you…”
“What are you doing to help! Do you know who’s doing this because they can’t dig in the dirt?! Gather, soil!”
As he cast a spell while swinging his staff, soil gushed right next to him.
The two were so shocked that they couldn’t speak.
It was more surprising than the servant’s swearing.
A servant can cast magic.
It’s faster and more accurate than both!
“Uh… how…?!”
“What! Have an easy order! Are you guys really stupid? This soil is less effective when magic touches it! I have to dig it out here with mystical iron equipment to keep the effect!”
“That… that…”
“I didn’t know. we.”
“If you don’t know, magic ends! What are you going to do! It’s hard to find rotten soil, so I’ve been walking around all day!”
Gainando jumped up and down.
I worked hard all day preparing the black magic reagent, but it was all in vain because of crazy people passing by.
If things went back like this, Lee Han might have doubts, ‘Aren’t you here to play?’
“Follow me! You guys explain!”
“Ooh, we have to go.”
“let’s go!”
The two hurriedly ran off onto their horses.
The spirit of the wizard boy asking me to follow him was unusual.
“Where?! Get off now! Come back!”
“Ooh we are guests! Don’t attack us!”
“What are all these crazy people?!”
Gainando was stunned, but he didn’t curse his back.
Even so, he was a guest of his own family, but he could not attack him.
But I couldn’t help but be upset.
“Just try to get caught! Just try to get caught! I will bury you upside down in a dirt pit!”
“Quick! Drive fast!”
“I was not a servant. It must be a family mage!”
The two realized as they rode away and ran away.
That boy was clearly a wizard belonging to the Kraha family, not a servant.
Otherwise, such an eccentric reaction would not have been explained.
There are few other people who disregard authority and order and be eccentric like the wizards of the Empire.
“You look young, but are you a family mage?”
“You must have been drinking an elixir that deceived your age!”
“Magicians are really eccentric people. How fortunate Baldrogard is in that regard!”
* * *
“So some strangers put a spell on the rotten dirt they found and it popped off and flew away?”
“huh.”
“……”
The friends looked at Gainando with strange eyes. Eandurde murmured.
“lie!”
“no! Do you doubt your senior when it comes to your junior?! Follow me if you don’t believe me! I will show you!”
“calm down. Guinan Island.”
Lee Han soothed Gainando.
To be honest, I didn’t really believe what Cainando said. It was because he had told similar lies many times.
– Lee Han. The principal’s minions stole my homework.
– Lee Han. The principal’s minion chewed up my magic book.
– Lee Han. The principal’s…
– Hey. work on it
These lies were all the more effective because they could actually happen in Einrogard.
Regardless of the authenticity of the lies, Lee Han took out the things he needed right now.
“here. Is this enough?”
“uh?! Did you have it?!”
“I know how to do black magic too, so I carry reagents with me.”
Lee Han took out a bottle of rotten soil from his reagent bag and held it out to Gainando.
“receive. It’s pretty good dirt, so it should be good enough for black magic. You don’t know when the Valdrogard students will come, but you should have the reagents with you.”
“Lee Han…!”
Gainando was moved to tears.
Yoner looked at the soil and was puzzled.
‘Where did you get it?’
It’s easy to find Einrogard, since students from the school of black magic built a separate mage tower and live nearby, but wouldn’t it be easy to find outside?
“How did you get it?”
“I took it in my spare time when I stopped by the Moradi family estate.”
“……”
Yoner was astonished at Lee Han’s meticulousness in collecting rotten soil in his spare time by visiting other family mansions.
‘I’m going to keep it a secret from Moradi…’
If Giselle knew, she would be furious, saying, ‘Is there anyone who visits someone else’s family and digs up rotten soil in their spare time?’
“Guinan Island.”
“uh?”
“I believe in you.”
“…Leehan!”
Gainando was in tears.
Bad friends weren’t even friends.
The mean classmates of Ein Rogard didn’t believe in him, but Lee Han was different.
“You are a real friend!”
“Yes, yes. Anyway, because I believe in you, never lose to the Waldrogard students.”
“……”
Realizing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Gainando stopped being moved and noticed.
Lee Han’s face was as serious as a statue.
“…Uh, there are areas where magic is good at and there are areas where it is not good at.”
“yes.”
“Then, if I’m unlucky, I might lose to the Waldrogard students…?”
“yes. But don’t give up.”
“……”
Gainando sent his eyes to his friends to help, but they slightly averted their eyes.
They too were afraid of Lee Han now.
“Cainan Island. If you have a weakness, you can attack the opponent’s weakness first. don’t support it anyway Ground… no. You don’t have to know first.”
“Lee Han…!”
Gainando suddenly wanted to go back to Ein Lorgard.
“everyone. The Valdrogard students have arrived. He wants to see you guys, so how can I deliver the answer?”
“Here you are.”
Lee Han’s words made the friends nervous.
I didn’t think I’d lose to the Valdrogard students in any way, but if I lost even one in the odds…
‘I might die with Guyanando.’
‘I might die with Gainan-sama…’
‘I don’t want to die with Gainando!’
“Ask me to come in. After all, if you stay inside the mansion, you will have no choice but to meet.”
* * *
“This is Yoner of the Maikin family. This place is…”
When nobles met, servants usually introduced each other by family name and family name.
Yingsen and Bashiu, who finished their introductions first, concentrated on listening to the introductions of the Einrogard students in turn.
“…This is Mr. Gainando, who inherits the bloodline of the Kraha family and the imperial family.”
“Ouch.”
“Keuk.”
“you… You guys…!”
Not only the two of them, but also Gainan Island was shocked.
Gainando wanted to shout ‘Soil destroyers!’ but he had to keep his mouth shut because Lee Han was glaring at him.
‘What the heck?’
‘Wasn’t he a family mage…?’
The two of them tried to sort things out somehow, but it only made them feel more confused.
“This is Lee Han from the Wardanaz family.”
“5th…5th grade!”
“??”
