Episode 785
“So… there was a senior like that?”
“uh? uh.”
Carnella thought that the junior’s voice sounded a little excited.
‘It must be an illusion, right?’
“Why did I never know about such a senior?”
“Because, like I just said, he’s an unsociable and eccentric person?”
“Are there one or two unsociable and eccentric people in Einrogard? That’s not even a drawback. “In my opinion, this senior seems like a person who doesn’t waste time on useless things and concentrates hard on his work.”
“Professor Verdus is that kind of person, but no one likes him…”
“How dare you say that!”
“I’m sorry. “You also attended the Buyeo School of Magic, right?”
Carnella later remembered that her junior was also a member of the Buyeo School of Magic and apologized.
To be precise, the wizards of the Enchantment School of Magic did not get angry at Professor Verdus for swearing at them.
If Professor Verdus’ name was mentioned in any situation, he would get angry and say it was ominous and unlucky.
“…no. Seniors. I couldn’t control my emotions. sorry.”
“Anyone who has anything to do with Professor Ver Mo can do that. don’t worry. “This Hormasi doesn’t care about such things at all.”
“Then how about preparing a gift before you meet that senior?”
“……”
Carnella felt a little sad.
He himself is a senior from the Transformation Magic School, so why does he only respect that crazy, eccentric senior?
* * *
If there was a large mountain range in the Einrogard territory, there was a small mountain range in the 7th floor area.
Of course, from the students’ perspective, it felt like there was no difference between large and small. Even if the number of mountain peaks decreases, the hardships faced by students climbing them will not decrease.
But fortunately, there were several climbing methods prepared by students in the 7th floor area.
Rumbling!
After going into the basement of an abandoned house, Carnella got on a mine car and knocked on the side three times.
Then the cart began to run quickly on the rails on its own.
“You live in an underground cave. “He seems like a very frugal and down-to-earth person.”
“Is it that much…?”
Carnella looked at the package her junior was holding dearly as if it were dumbfounded.
No matter how I looked at it, I wondered if I should give such a gift to the senior I was meeting now.
widely!
After a few minutes, the tram stopped. Meanwhile, the surroundings were dark due to how deep we had descended. All I could see was the faint glow of plants and minerals in the distance, beyond the underground valley.
Carnella stopped in front of a large cave and stretched out her hand in front of Lee Han.
“Junior. Don’t make any hasty moves from here on. “You could fall into a trap.”
“You guard your own defense so thoroughly. “You are a person with strict security awareness.”
“…Senior Zaroon! Senior Zaroon! Hormasi has arrived! “Please open the door!”
There was no sound.
Carnella swore once and then shouted again.
“Senior Zaroon! It’s lecture time! “If you don’t come out, I’ll set this place on fire!”
Still, I couldn’t hear anything.
Carnella spat and muttered.
“I can’t believe it has to be like this every time I come here. Fierce flame, turn into a rat and go inside!”
The powerful flame that poured out of the bottle transformed into a mouse and began to crawl inside.
How long has it been?
Flashing flames and shouts of profanity came from inside.
“Hormasi you accursed bastard! “I will claim compensation!”
“Let’s tell the professor! “Because the professor ordered it!”
“Professors don’t pay!”
A short dwarf came out from inside with a grunting sound.
The ends of his beard and hair were scorched, as if he had just turned off the light, and the rest of his appearance was worn and shabby, like that of an eccentric hermit.
This person was senior Zarun from the Western Steel Shoes dwarven family.
Zarun looked around with his eyes rolling while holding a hammer-shaped staff. It was as if they were on guard to see if there were other attackers.
“What about the others?”
“no. Senior Zaroon. “I came here for a lecture!”
“joy. They’re probably saying that and trying to attack me and steal the gold. “Do you know that I’ve been hit once or twice?”
After saying that, Zaroon took a step back.
Among the Einrogard students, there were many who attacked and looted the gold after reassuring them by saying, ‘Lecture has started, come out now, Zarun.’
Seeing that, Carnella muttered in an annoyed voice.
“It’s completely crazy. That senior. “If I do that, I won’t be able to graduate and I will forever be the madman of Einrogard.”
“no. Seniors. “Senior Zaroon just has a lot of scars.”
“…Have you ever met that senior before?”
Carnella could not understand why Lee Han was strangely friendly to Zaroon.
Until now, no student has reacted favorably to Senior Zaroon…
“No one?”
“But why do you like it so much?”
“It’s just respect. Just like I respect my senior.”
“Hmm. “I think I respect you more than I respect this Hormasi.”
Carnella looked at Lee Han suspiciously.
‘You’re quick-witted.’
Naturally, Lee Han liked the senior who was hoarding gold more than the senior who was trying to check the basilisk’s defecation cycle.
“Let’s leave quickly and give the lecture.”
“…Tell me to study on my own today. “I have work to do.”
“Are you going to the punishment room again?”
“If you go, you’ll go!” “Don’t disturb me!”
Carnella expressed her dissatisfaction by hitting the wall with her riding whip as her senior seemed not to be easily persuaded today.
“I also came because of work. Then please let me inside. “I need to see what’s going on so I can at least make an excuse to the professor.”
“what? no! “Are you trying to covet my gold?”
“Ah, Senior Zaroon! I have no interest in my senior’s smelly rock! What kind of wealth is wealth if you don’t raise a single rat? “Do you think everyone is as crazy about yellow, shiny stones as you are?!”
Lee Han flinched slightly.
Zaroon pondered whether he thought Karnella’s words had some truth, and then pointed to Lee Han.
“What about that guy? Who is that guy? It’s my first time seeing this face. “How can I trust that guy?”
“after. Senior Zaroon. He comes from the Wardanaz family. I’m listening to all the schools. He said he was least interested in gold. “He’s just a magic-crazed bastard!”
“……”
Lee Han had a lot to say, but he stood still with an expression as harmless and gentle as possible.
I wanted to go inside and see.
Karnella’s shout must have been quite effective as Zarun flinched.
“I… all the schools?”
“okay!”
“Isn’t that crazy guy?”
‘You’re saying too much.’
Lee Han was slightly hurt.
Carnella paid no attention and defended his junior.
“Are you just going to be a senior? Anyway, quickly open the door. “I have to check what you’re doing before I report it.”
Zarun grumbled and stopped the long spells installed in the cave one by one.
‘What are you mumbling?’
-Hormasi That bastard… He might have joined hands with those who want my gold… You must never let down your guard… The guy next to him… He seems crazy… I’m from the school…
“……”
Lee Han pretended not to hear and moved on.
When we finally reached the end of the cave, an iron door appeared. Zaroon opened the door and went inside.
‘This…?’
It was a strange space that felt like a wizard’s workshop or a miner’s workshop. I had no idea that mixing the two would create a space like this.
On one side, small golems were hard at work mining ore with mining equipment. The ores collected in this way were immediately placed in carts and transported to the workshop.
The ores that were moved were broken into small pieces by transformation magic and placed in an alchemy solution to extract the essence.
“Gather together, my children.”
As Zarun chanted the spell, pure ingots began to emerge from the essence of the ore melted.
The finished metal ingot looked very pure and clean even to Lee Han, a non-expert.
“eww. “What kind of ore are you treating like a child?”
Carnella muttered in disgust. Zaroon shouted in disapproval.
“It’s better than you treating an ugly wyvern like a child!”
“Are you crazy, Senpai? “How can you compare the cutest creature in the sky with a rock like this??”
“Senior Hormasi. “Do you, Senior Zaroon, do this work every day?”
Lee Han, who was looking around the workshop, asked cautiously. Then Carnella nodded and answered.
“I’m just doing this and dying.”
‘oh my god!’
I thought I could understand why Einrogard said the talent of raising money was the best.
Einrogard was the empire’s most outstanding magic school, but it was also the most reagent territory.
If you were to waste your lecture time and wander around mining areas all the time, how much wealth would you accumulate by the time you graduate?
‘This senior… I want to become friends with him!’
Carnella snapped, not knowing that Lee Han was happy.
Even though I was a good junior, I couldn’t help but feel annoyed because the senior was only doing things to make the junior run away.
“Other dwarves say that when juniors come in, they make moonshine, serve it to them, and feed them until their stomachs explode. What’s the problem with seniors?”
“That’s an Eastern Dwarf, you idiot! “I’m a western dwarf!”
Zaroon responded angrily.
Unlike eastern dwarves, who were sociable, liked to drink, and liked to be well fed, western dwarves enjoyed quiet and solitary mining.
Of course, Zaroon was a bit more introverted than others, but…
“Sir. “I’d like to help you with the work.”
“what?”
Zaroon was a little embarrassed by his junior’s sudden outburst.
“You want to help me with the work?”
“yes. “I have worked in a workshop on alchemy as well as transformation magic.”
“joy. Anyway, I’m still a kid. “Turn this into sand.”
Zarun took out a hard rock and held it out.
The rock-sand conversion magic was a simple basic conversion magic, but it was enough to determine the opponent’s skill.
Depending on how finely and finely it is ground, one’s familiarity with transformation magic will be determined.
If this didn’t work, the work couldn’t be done. If you force it, your losses will only increase.
Pot!
“…It’s quite useful. “I know how to use the ‘Component Amplification’ or ‘Component Transformation’ magic
.”
“When you worked at the alchemy workshop, what was the most difficult potion you handled?”
“I assisted in the making of Dobruk’s enchantment potion.”
“…!!!”
Zaroon looked at Lee Han with eyes of astonishment.
I can’t believe that only a 2nd grader is at this level. I couldn’t believe it.
‘As expected, not everyone listens to the entire school…!’
“Senior Zaroon. So, for some reason I can’t go to the lecture. “Tell me.”
“…Follow me. “I’ll show you.”
Zaroon walked forward with a bumbling step.
Inside the workshop, there was a golden sphere the size of a fist. Lee Han instinctively glanced at the golden sphere.
“What is this… it’s increasing for a moment?!”
Carnella screamed in surprise.
Current Empire Transformation magic was unable to create gold from nothing. The limit was temporary or fake gold. It was because of the perfection of gold.
But gold is increasing even slightly.
Has this crazy old man made a new discovery that pushes the limits of imperial magic?
“You created gold!?”
“It’s stupid. How do you make gold? “It is an application of dimensional connection.”
Zaroon explained while scolding his junior.
Even if it is impossible to create gold, it is possible to bring gold from another dimension.
Zarun created a magic circle in which connected dimensions transform and flicker countless times even in a short moment, and then created a magic that secures gold when it is observed.
Carnella was even impressed by the perfection.
“amazing. senior. “If this were the case, graduating would be really easy.”
“It’s still a long way from completion. There are many materials needed to build it stably. “This is my first time starting it today. So you want to help me with my work?”
“yes!”
Lee Han answered, full of desire to learn from this respected senior.
Zarun glanced at Lee Han and said.
“I can’t pay you?”
“What kind of nonsense is that?”
Lee Han suddenly came to his senses and glared at his senior with a cold expression.
