Episode 804
“…Senior, you have no pride as a hard-core ball player! “I can’t believe you readily accept such corrupted gold coins!”
“!?”
Carnella was taken aback by the unexpected criticism from her junior.
“What… what? for a moment. What does receiving sponsorship have to do with my pride as a hardball player? What do you mean by corrupted gold coins? “Is there corruption in gold coins?”
“It’s done. “Senior, you don’t know anything!”
“Wait a minute, junior! Come back! Tell me what it means and go! Come back!”
When the junior, who was usually good and sincere, got angry and ran out, Carnella was embarrassed and didn’t know what to do.
Shouldn’t a proud hardball player receive gold coins?
* * *
‘There is nothing we can do when it becomes like this.’
Lee Han made his decision.
It was a fun and exciting club week and there was no need for anything.
‘I will call the Death Knights!’
The seniors who had high expectations were greatly disappointed that the club week turned into a shock and horror battle against magic criminals, but there was nothing they could do.
Shouldn’t Lee Han survive too?
At first, I thought I could just dodge and hold on, but after seeing Interendals’ resourcefulness, that wasn’t the case.
Look at that ridiculous amount and speed of sponsorship.
After a day in this state, I was able to form an ‘Ainroguard Supporter Guild’ and search for Lee Han.
‘I heard that a staff is stronger than a sword, but I never thought a gold coin would be stronger than a staff.’
-Is that really true?
-That’s right. Lord Klzenberg.
-What a surprise!
“Great Death Knights!”
When he saw Death Knights patrolling in the distance, Lee Han quickly ran away.
-I never thought there would be someone sponsoring a black magic school… Isn’t it even club week? You’re sponsoring a school that isn’t even a club.
-The bigger the empire is, the more eccentric people there are.
– Well, in the old days, the black magic school was quite prosperous and popular.
-Are you sure? I can’t even imagine!
“……”
Lee Han was astonished by the conversation between the Death Knights.
Meanwhile, the Death Knights recognized Lee Han and greeted him warmly.
-Hua… Isn’t he a strange student from the Wardanaz family?
-Huh… Wodanaz!
Without Lee Han’s knowledge, the Death Knights added a unique greeting that started with ‘huㄱ’.
Since there was no time to ask about the strange trend going around among the headmaster’s subordinates, Lee Han got straight to the point.
“We’re in big trouble now! “We need to immediately gather other knights and surround the school…”
Lee Han, who was speaking strongly, paused.
The conversation between the Death Knights I had just heard caught my attention again.
“…But everyone. “I have a question.”
-Didn’t you just say something big happened?
“It’s a big deal, but there’s something even bigger… What I’m curious about is what would happen in a situation like this?”
Lee Han explained the events of today as best as he could.
A suspicious magical criminal has resurrected the ancestors of the empire’s great noble families. The resurrected ancestors used the family’s hidden wealth to support wizards. What happens to the sponsored property if this is discovered?
-?
-??
The Death Knights were unable to understand the intention of the question and had questions.
-Student Lee Han. It is generally impossible to resurrect someone in a healthy state, rather than raising them to an undead state.
-And what is wrong with a person who was resurrected like that, so he supports wizards? It was even resurrected by a suspicious magical criminal?
“…Oh, just imagine!”
Lee Han got angry.
If it had been any other student, they would have taken him straight to the punishment room, but the Death Knights were stung and backed away.
First of all, there was no point in dragging Lee Han to an ordinary punishment room, and considering the knight’s conscience, it was extremely dishonorable to drag such a poor wizard to a punishment room.
-In that case, won’t the property be confiscated and returned to the original family according to imperial law?
“Why? “Don’t the ancestors of the family also have authority?”
-In a way, it could be so. However, once you die, the ownership of your property is the same. In fact, there was a similar problem back in the days of the ancient kingdom. There was even a rebellion. Hmm. Isn’t it because His Majesty the Emperor knows these things that he clearly stipulated them in imperial law?
“……”
Lee Han secretly cursed the emperor, who was needlessly competent and knowledgeable.
There have to be some loopholes in the law so that people can live together, but why is it so thorough?
-So why did you ask this? for a moment. Could it be…
Death Knight Sir Klzenberg looked at Lee Han as if he knew.
“no.”
-…You’re trying to resurrect the old ancestors of a noble family and extort their wealth!
“That’s really definitely not the case.”
-is not it?
Lord Klzenberg was very embarrassed.
Of course, I thought there would be nothing else than this.
Meanwhile, Lee Han was deeply conflicted.
‘If we call the knights together now…’ An
image of Senior Direth crying after losing his bag of gold coins flashed through Lee Han’s mind.
Of course, Direth was never the type of person to cry over losing his bag of gold coins (in fact, Lee Han was closer to that type of person), but right now, there was no Diret next to Lee Han to be angry at his junior’s insulting imagination.
“Great Death Knights.”
-For your information, the owner usually calls us that when he asks us to do something difficult or difficult.
“…Death knights.”
Lee Han immediately changed his words.
As expected from long-lived knights, their skill in pointing things out was not as harsh as usual.
“I have a story to tell you now, but can you keep it a secret on the honor of your honor?”
-…!
-!!
The Death Knights’ eyes became serious.
Isn’t this a pretty serious issue for a successor to say something like that?
-Are you attacking the master?
“no.”
Lee Han paused after answering.
‘Am I right? In a way, you could look at it that way.’
-Actually, it can be an attack on the master. It was just a question I asked. We will protect your secret with honor.
-I will also protect my honor.
The Death Knights made their promise very kindly. Lee Han was rather embarrassed.
“Are you going to be okay?”
-It’s your duty as a knight to help poor people like Lee Han.
-I agree.
“……”
For the first time, Lee Han realized that chivalry could hurt people.
Still, I couldn’t refuse this kind of help. Lee Han calmly explained the scary episode that happened today.
-……
-……
And the Death Knights were equally terrified.
It was a tenacity that I had not dared to expect.
-God, what kind of method?
-As expected, it is not normal as it is the master’s leftovers.
-I guess nuisance isn’t normal either.
“I. Are you listening? Is there any way to take care of it and leave the gold coins alone? At least a gold coin to support a black magic school.”
-Student Lee Han. You understand the student’s feelings very well.
– Wardanaz. I also understood. In the first place, it is morally absurd for the Dalkad family to claim ownership of this gold coin. Isn’t it the property of our ancestors? Just because the ancestor is dead, can the descendants use the property as they please? dare! Insolent and rude bastards!
When the junior Death Knight shouted with enthusiasm, Lord Klzenberg whispered.
-You understand. The descendants squandered the property.
“Oh yeah…”
-Okay. Don’t escalate the matter and resolve it quietly.
Lee Han was moved to tears by the strong cooperation of the veteran knights.
Unlike the skeleton headmaster who is nowhere to be seen these days, these knights were the pillars that supported Einroguard.
“Then what can I do?”
* * *
Puff puff!
The Death Knights cast Shadow Leap, surrounded Intarendals, and then thrust the sword of darkness into them, sealing them so they could not do anything.
He then quickly stuffed it into a bag with a subspace spell and gestured.
-movement!
“……”
Lee Han was astonished at the skill of subduing the opponent faster than the blink of an eye.
If he had been in that position, he would have been overpowered.
I’ve heard many times that knights are the natural enemies of wizards, but I’d forgotten about them since I only saw wizards who were so powerful… Death
Knights, strengthened by the power of the territory of Einroguard, showed extreme power against wizards.
Whatever magic can be used, it will be suppressed first!
-Take the stairs here.
-Hua Wardanaz student. Just jump out the window.
-After that, put your foot in this hole!
Lee Han followed the Death Knights through a shortcut in the main building and memorized it to himself.
I didn’t know that I might have something to write about sometime in the future.
-Is the first room empty?
-no. They say there is a prisoner.
-The second and third rooms are probably full.
-ah! They say the seventh room is empty. Great!
“?”
When Lee Han was puzzled, a kind Death Knight explained.
-This is the interrogation room “The Truth of Wizards” designed by the master himself. Excellent wizards often escape when locked in an ordinary room.
‘I heard it for no reason.’
After hearing the explanation, Lee Han immediately regretted it.
As he opened the door to the seventh room and entered, Lee Han instantly felt a strong headache.
Because there are so many complex magics, there is information overload.
It would have been better if he had been a wizard with less sensitive senses, but Lee Han, who had unrivaled sharpness in this area, could not avoid headaches.
‘Tsk…! What kind of magic…’
-Take it out.
dump!
Intarendals came out of the sack and fell to the floor.
Despite having swords of darkness stuck in various parts of his body and being kidnapped, Intarendals’ expression was extremely calm.
He was indeed a man who served a skeleton headmaster during the harsh ancient times. The Death Knights were inwardly impressed.
-Interendals. Do you know why you were dragged in like this?
“I do not know.”
-Because your master and our master are enemies.
The Death Knights explained the relationship between the skeletal headmaster and his crazy clone and said that the Intarendals were serving the wrong master.
But Interendals did not waver.
“How can you prove that my master is not his original self but an alter ego?”
-…Uh…
The Death Knights paused.
I know?
-Because he is much stronger and more evil, this is his true body.
“You can only find out by comparing them directly.”
-It’s like a thought form that disappears and reappears periodically.
“Even so, it can’t be said to be an alter ego…”
As the story progressed into discussion, Lee Han gave Lord Klzenberg a look.
The seasoned death knight shouted at his subordinates.
-Don’t give me useless answers! Interrendals. You have to choose one of two things. Will you leave the gold coins and quietly leave school? Or will he die by our hands?
“Is there any reason to fear death now? But even if I die, I want to know why. Is there any reason why I should not contact Ihan of the Wardanaz family? “Perhaps your master is deceiving you.”
-Don’t be fooled. Because Ihan of the Wardanaz family said he doesn’t want to meet you.
Intarendals smiled, not believing what the death knight said.
As a competent practitioner who had accomplished all kinds of tasks as the prince’s chamberlain, he found hidden loopholes in the other person’s words.
“You’re lying. Ihan of the Wardanaz family will not know that I have come. “Because of bad luck, we kept getting mixed up.”
“…Actually, I am Ihan of the Wardanaz family.”
Lee Han, who could not see anything, stepped forward and opened his mouth.
At those words, Intarendals looked surprised for the first time today.
“This makes no sense! How can this happen!”
