Chapter 769
After that, Illendil got angry for about 15 more minutes and left. I was really upset that my pure heart for loving beavers was insulted.
“I was… scared. “You were right.”
As soon as the senior disappeared, Gainando said, breaking into a cold sweat.
On the outside, he seemed as peaceful as a tree, but when he got angry, the air around him trembled.
‘I think Gainando made a mistake just now.’
Even the most kind senior in Einrogard seemed like he would immediately grab me by the collar if he heard something like, ‘Do you like Professor Verdus?’
Lee Han himself was practicing black magic, and someone came up next to him and said, ‘Let’s see! Since you are learning dark magic… you respect Lord Gonadaltes!’ If you say something like this, I’ll immediately curse you.
“I didn’t mean to say it was scary like this.”
“That’s right. It was an alchemically scary story. “They say they often attack you when you go into the forest… 1 I heard that they only leave the first year students alone, but sometimes they attack first year students as well.”
“……”
“……”
The students’ faces became solemn at Ymirg’s detailed explanation.
Agdung, a Kalarogad student, asked because he did not understand.
“You’re kidding, right?”
“Uh…yeah. It’s a joke. haha. “It’s an Einrogaard joke.”
“ha ha ha! yes? I knew it. “Einrogard jokes have always been difficult to understand.”
Lee Han, who quickly blurted out his words, realized that other Einrogard students had previously told him off as a joke.
I probably can’t explain everything to outsiders.
“Lee Han. “I think I really need to think of a way to deal with Senior Illendil.”
Yoner whispered.
Other students were equally in trouble, but for the Alchemy School students, the monster in the forest was a very real threat.
Since this is the school that requires the most diverse reagents and materials, I had no choice but to roam the forests within the territory from now on, but I can’t believe I had to deal with such an enemy.
Originally, it was right to ask a senior in the school for help, but surprisingly, Illendil was a senior in the alchemy school.
A senior from the same school is the most powerful enemy that interferes with learning.
“Even seniors have weaknesses.”
“For example, what?”
“Like a flame…”
“…I think a more peaceful method would be better.”
Siana, who was listening next to her, nodded quietly.
I thought it would be better to be a little more peaceful than to burn my senior with flames.
“What if Wardanaz tries to persuade you? “Wodanaz is favored by his seniors, so it might be possible.”
“Can you call that a favorite? By that logic, what Professor Verdus does is also endearing… I’ll try my best. “I don’t have much confidence, though.”
Among his friends, Lee Han was regarded as an expert in negotiating with seniors, but in fact, Lee Han himself was not very confident.
In the end, it’s more like an exchange because we have the same interests, but we’re not that close to our seniors.
Moreover, all of Einrogard’s seniors were eccentric people, so you never knew when they would change and change their minds.
Right now, Illendildo Lee Han has made a contract with an artificial dark spirit and is trying to purify the source of pollution, so he is evaluated positively. Even if he does this, if he is caught cutting down a tree in the forest, there is a high possibility that he will be attacked right away.
“Maybe it would be better to avoid your senior. The forest of Einrogard is large, but you are alone. “It might be better to take advantage of the opportunity.”
“Wardanaz. “Senior Illendil is an excellent elementalist, and it is said that even forest spirits that have not signed a contract provide information.”
“shit!”
Lee Han was unusually angry.
Sianna was surprised. That was the level of anger I felt when I discovered the White Tiger Tower students who had barely studied and ran away.
“calm down. Lee Han. Still, there won’t be much need to go into the forest right now. “This is how you secured the reagents.”
“Right… ah. “I guess I’ll have to ask Senior Agudung.”
Lee Han approached Agdung, who was drawing a picture while observing the purification of pollutants.
“Senior Agudung. When are you going back to Kalarogad? “If you don’t mind, I’d like to talk more.”
Agdung smiled cheerfully at the suggestion of his outstanding junior.
“don’t worry. I’ll stay for another week. There is still some work left for the juniors. “Is it because you want to discuss dark magic?”
When different warlocks meet, they exchange their achievements.
Even within the same school, each path taken within it is different, so comparing each other’s paths is always enjoyable and beneficial.
“hmm. yes. “It’s closer to that.”
“Have you decided what you want to discuss? “If you decide, let’s get ready.”
“I’d like to discuss dark magic items that might sell well.”
“……”
Agdung was taken aback by the completely unexpected topic.
* * *
‘The wisdom of Einrogard’s school of black magic. and the wisdom of Calarogad’s school of black magic. If you combine the two, you can definitely create something that will sell.’
Lee Han was planning to make items that could be sold at the Heukamgwan workshop.
Even seniors like Ogoldos and Professor Mortum had to be mobilized to improve the dark magic school’s weak financial situation.
Of course, some wizards may criticize, asking, ‘Is it worth researching by gathering talented people from various magic schools and even professors?’, but Lee Han paid no heed to such criticism.
I wanted to make it together, even if it meant inviting the skeleton principal.
‘I must… fill the coffers of the Black Magic School…’
As he fell asleep with that thought in mind, at some point, Lee Han discovered a familiar place appearing before his eyes.
A wasteland where the sky and horizon are both empty.
It was a fantasy of a black book.
“nice to meet!”
Lee Han shouted as soon as he saw the black book fluttering in the distance. The black book flinched slightly at his unusually active attitude.
“I know why you called me. Black book! I guess I’m worried about the financial situation of the dark magic school. Am I right? “Then give me a secret plan!”
Normally, Lee Han would complain about the oppressive methods of the black book that wouldn’t let him out until he learned it, but today was different.
As I had to think about new black magic items, I couldn’t help but welcome the call of the black book containing the skeleton headmaster’s vision.
But the black book slowly swayed its body to the side.
“…No?”
The black book shook its body up and down to express its affirmation, then opened a page and pointed forward.
When I pointed to the distant horizon where there was nothing, Lee Han was puzzled.
“What’s there?”
Instead of answering, the black book shrugged. It seemed like he was telling me to look again.
‘what?’
Lee Han focused his gaze. I cast a strengthening spell, and as if that wasn’t enough, I drew out magical power and put it in my eyes…
Then, a blurry human figure appeared on the distant, empty horizon. Lee Han immediately recognized who the other person was.
It was a skeleton headmaster in human form.
“You cowardly bastard. “I trusted you!”
Lee Han, who thought he had been deceived by the black book, became angry and grabbed the book by its collar.
No matter how much the skeleton principal created it, I have spent so much time with Lee Han, and yet you bring up the skeleton principal without saying a word.
He flapped the pages as if it wasn’t a black book and pointed to me to look again.
When I looked again, the skeleton principal, instead of approaching to kill Lee Han, was slowly disappearing somewhere in the distance.
‘Underground… or is it a portal?’
The portal engraved with the pattern of a gold wheel created an optical illusion as if the person entering was being sent underground.
And the skeletal headmaster in the distance was not an alter ego of a wizard with an ego or a will, but was more like an illusion that showed the same thing over and over again.
The skeleton principal entered through the golden ring gate, disappeared, reappeared, entered, and repeated.
As Lee Han watched, he realized that the face of the illusion looked much younger than the human form of the regular skeleton principal.
‘Are you younger than when you became a lich?’
Come to think of it, even if Headmaster Skeleton was an archmage who reached the level at a young age, he must have been younger than that.
He must have learned magic from someone and also had time to practice magic.
I can’t imagine it, but…
the black book moved, its pages fluttering. It was as if Lee Han was saying that he had to go there too.
“…I have to go there?”
The black book was happy and moved its body up and down.
“Why on earth?”
The black book pointed to the illusion of the skeleton headmaster, opened the page, drew a picture of the Archmage, pointed to Lee Han again, and then pointed to the picture of the Archmage again.
It was a complicated movement, but Lee Han figured it out after thinking about it carefully.
“So, the principal entered that dimension when he was young and was able to become an archmage thanks to it?”
agreement.
“So I have to go in too?”
Agree again.
‘Isn’t this crazy guy?’
As soon as Lee Han returned to reality at the suggestion of the black book, he thought about burning the book.
Who is this bastard trying to kill?
Among the unconfirmed outer dimensions that wizards can enter, there are all kinds of dangerous and bizarre worlds.
If a skeleton principal could enter and gain magical enlightenment, Einroguard would be so dangerous that it would be difficult to even show a business card.
To confidently recommend that…
“Headmaster, you may have been a great wizard at that age, but I am still a student. “You let me off guard by only teaching you magic in the first place, and then you try to kill me like this!”
Lee Han criticized the book in a voice full of betrayal.
The book flapped its pages as if it was unfair.
The illusion and portal in the distance appeared in front of Lee Han because his level had risen, and the black book did not appear to kill him.
“My level has risen and it has been revealed?”
The book nodded its body up and down. Lee Han spoke in a serious voice.
“You misjudged.”
-……
“That’s it. Pretend you didn’t see that. ruler. Teach me some magic. “You couldn’t have called me without magic, right?”
The black book nodded with a shaky motion.
Apart from the fact that Lee Han’s level increased and he discovered the distant portal, there were still many magics that the Black Book had to teach.
But shouldn’t a wizard set off as soon as he discovers a portal like that?
No matter how far it is and how much it seems like a mirage, it’s not enough to keep walking… * *
*
‘My anger is relieved a little.’
Lee Han woke up and thought as he prepared to leave for Heukam Pavilion.
Although the portal was explained first, the black book was clearly giving magic as a gift to suit Lee Han’s needs.
It was still hard to forgive him for suggesting that we go through a suspicious portal!
‘Could it be that you are giving me a useful magic to prevent me from burning it? If so, it is a truly evil artifact.’
In old fairy tales from the Empire, there were often stories about masters who were possessed and destroyed because they picked up evil artifacts.
At first glance, you may not understand why you are fooled, but the original evil artifact did not reveal its true colors right away.
At first, they deceive their owners by pretending to be useful, but when they think they have gained their trust, they reveal their true colors.
If that was the case with the black book, it might have been right to cut it down right away.
‘But it’s useful. Pfft. Is this why people who were affected by evil artifacts also suffered like this?
Lee Han stared at the black book in agony.
The black book, reading those emotions, became dissatisfied and vibrated its exterior. The owner was extremely rude.
