Episode 808
: No answer came back.
But Lee Han patiently continued to sing.
Like Professor Verdus, who only speaks into his student’s ear, Lee Han repeatedly calls out to his crazy alter ego.
…What?
A blurry vision finally flowed out.
The crazy clone was expressionless as usual, but the slight wrinkles between its eyebrows were showing signs of displeasure.
“Hello, Master.”
Seeing as I sang it like this, it must have been completed.
The crazy clone threw the huge lump he was holding in one hand to the side. Lee Han asked, puzzled.
“What is that?”
Instead of answering, a low voice came from the huge mass. It was Antagondals’ voice.
-Don’t be cocky, come back quickly… you… you damn brat…
Lee Han ignored him, pretending not to hear him
. No matter how pitiful the magic criminal was, Lee Han couldn’t go to save him.
What if Lee Han ends up like that?
I don’t know.
‘I already understand everything.’
So, a thousand things? Did you call me to show you some magic?
“Ah. I called you this because I had something to ask you.”
In response, Lee Han asked about the ingredients that could replace the juniper and perilla leaf pyrophyllite in Dobruk’s healing potion.
The crazy alter ego showed his anger at the unexpected question.
Did I tell you to handle lightning? Did I tell you to play with materials?
“I’m sorry. My student was so clueless that I got stuck and had no place to ask. The only thing that came to mind was my teacher. Hehehe.”
As long as there was no attack magic flying in front of him, Lee Han could use fluent conversation skills.
The crazy clone was very displeased, but eventually opened his mouth.
Haven’t I heard before that my student is interested in various schools of thought?
I was displeased with not focusing on a topic with slow achievements, but since it was like this, it would be better to answer.
First of all, it was a question about magic…
a trivial trick.
“yes?”
A thousand things. Do I still need to explain further?
“Yes. I would appreciate it if you could.”
‘You didn’t explain anything.’
Lee Han cursed inwardly.
Are you saying that you haven’t given any explanation and are acting as if everything has been explained?
As if it wasn’t just Lee Han who was cursing inside, his crazy clone also started explaining with a face that suppressed the desire to beat up his student beyond the illusion.
Dobruk’s Extinction Potion (it had a different name when his crazy alter ego was alive)
was a potion that created a sort of out-of-body effect that temporarily cut the soul from the body.
As time passed, the recipe changed, but as soon as the crazy clone took it, he knew what kind of potion it was and for what purpose the recipe had changed.
In spirit-based alchemy, juniper tree can be replaced with prickly pear tree and perilla leaves can be replaced with trichomes. But it’s all meaningless.
When the crazy alter ego was alive, juniper or perilla leaves were not used.
This was to strengthen the effect of fluid escape even if stability was reduced.
But now, this potion is a combination potion that pursues stability even if the effect is slightly weakened.
If you replace it with Prickly pear or Prickly pear, the effect may seem to improve temporarily, but stability decreases again.
Strictly speaking, it wasn’t a complete replacement. A person who roughly compromises in these areas cannot be a good alchemist.
The correct answer was, ‘There is no material that can replace it.’
‘What kind of trap problem is this?’
Lee Han was enraged by the outside guest.
A customer who looks like he doesn’t have any gold coins on the outside, but he suddenly asks this question.
I should have noticed this from the time I was with the Baldrogard students, but it was clear that he was a very rude person.
“Thank you, Master.”
Wasting time on pranks like this…
“I’ll say it again. Please wait a moment!”
After extinguishing the illusion, Lee Han replied,
“There is no material that can completely replace it.”
Garal was surprised.
This was a problem that even most alchemists were fooled by.
Rather, the more knowledgeable an alchemist was, the easier it was to be fooled. Anyone who knew the effects of juniper or perilla leaf and knew of ingredients with similar effects answered that way
.
But it was a trap.
The balance of this potion was quite shaky and strange, and replacing it with something that seemed to have similar effects immediately brought about different results.
It was possible to not be fooled by remembering the effects of dozens or hundreds of ingredients in one’s mind and knowing even the small and subtle changes that occur when added to this potion…
“Haha! You’re wrong!”
One of the Baldrogard students behind him shouted with joy in his voice,
“The juniper tree can be replaced with prickly pear tree and the perilla leaves can be replaced with prickly pear! That’s too bad!”
Other students were amazed at their friend’s knowledge.
As expected, as expected from being the head of the alchemy class, his intelligence was truly shocking.
‘You’re wrong, you idiots…!’
Instead, Garal was embarrassed and screamed inwardly.
The answer itself was wrong, and it was impossible to replace it even in the second half of the year. When I put hagocho, my soul became sticky.
“Isn’t it three hundred seconds, not one and a half seconds?”
Student Einrogard asked, wondering if he knew that. Garal felt his face getting hotter.
“300 seconds? Uh… uh sleep. Wait a minute. Was it 300 seconds?”
“If you add hagocho, the soul will stick together.”
“It was three… three hundred seconds. That’s right.”
Student Baldrogard belatedly admitted his mistake.
Then his friends encouraged his friend’s courage and honesty.
“Oh I’m so proud of your honesty!”
“That’s right, my friend! You guessed it right!”
‘What on earth did you get right?
Lee Han felt distant from the conversation between Baldrogard students.
Aren’t the herbs themselves completely different?
Is it true that just because one ingredient is correct, it is roughly correct?
‘Common sense… I feel like common sense is collapsing.’
I felt like I could understand a little bit why seniors were reluctant to use Baldrogard students.
If you keep talking, you will feel like your world is collapsing.
“That’s not important. What’s more important is that you gave the wrong answer!”
“Excuse me, but this is the right one.”
Garal, who could no longer bear it, spoke with a deep sigh and a sense of self-destruction.
“yes?!”
“What nonsense are you talking about? You can replace juniper with locust tree?!”
Zandanni of the Aljadq family asked back as if it was hard to believe.
Clearly, from what he had learned, it was replaceable.
Could it be that this wizard named Garal learned it wrong?
“If you replace it with that, the out-of-body effect will change. The stability will also change. The balance of the Absolute Potion is so tight that the moment you replace it, it’s like it becomes a different potion.”
“But isn’t it similar?”
“Not by the standards of alchemists.”
“That’s… unbelievable…”
Zandanni and his friends were greatly shocked.
Of course I thought they would be able to get revenge, but instead they were humiliated like this.
Lee Han, who was worse off, took the initiative to take care of the situation generously. However, since he was a guest from outside, I couldn’t just leave him alone.
“This is a problem that tests the ingenious wit of an alchemist, so even an excellent alchemist can make mistakes. Your skills are also excellent
.”
“…Thank you. You are truly honorable!”
“It would be rare even in Einrogard for a second grader to know that juniper trees can be replaced with locust trees.”
This was sincere.
In the first place, the Jeolyeong potion itself was a potion made only in upper grades (if it was a lower grade potion, Lee Han would have already memorized it), and usually there was no need to look at the recipe
.
“Aren’t we in second year?”
“Ah. Are you a third year student?”
“I’m in the fourth year.”
“……”
Lee Han was astonished when he heard that the students in front of him were fourth-year students at Baldrogard.
So these people who are in their last year of graduation are coming and doing this???
‘Are they crazy? Oh no. Even if it’s your graduation year, you can still move around. It could be that everything was prepared in advance.’
Lee Han, who regained his composure, gritted his teeth and asked.
“If you are a senior, you need to prepare for graduation. Can I visit you like this?”
“Haha. An excellent wizard is someone who is always prepared.”
‘You must not kill. You must not kill him..’
Lee Han persevered once again.
“Still… isn’t there something you need to do? Are you ready?”
“You mean something to do? I don’t have anything in particular… Ah! You mean the prom!”
It was fortunate that Garal, who was next to him, couldn’t bear to wait and intervened.
Otherwise, Lee Han might have buried several Baldrogard students here.
* * *
“…That’s why I came here for this fair fight.”
“aha.”
After listening to the explanation, Lee Han looked at the students with eyes full of contempt.
I can’t believe I visited for such trivial reasons as having fun and eating in the 4th grade.
Later, when his seniors jeered and threw stones at the Baldrogard students, Lee Han vowed to himself that he must participate by casting an invisibility spell.
Garal cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
“Your skills are excellent. Are you a 4th year student?”
“I’m a second year student.”
“…I feel like there’s a curse on my ears. What?”
“Second year.”
“…Please, can you keep your grade a secret from them?”
Garal spoke with sincerity and sorrow.
When a wizard much older than him made a desperate request, Lee Han’s heart weakened slightly.
“That’s not difficult, but…”
“Thank you. Huh. I feel like I got this request for nothing. If only a second year student is like this…”
Garal sighed at the level of Einroguard students who were much better than expected. .
It was not easy to properly break the other person’s pride. You can’t just surprise or attack someone all at once, right?
If I were too aggressive or challenged to a fight, I could be attacked by Einroguard students before I could overcome my pride…
I was comfortable with tricky riddles like before, but when Lee Han guessed it right in one go, my confidence disappeared.
“The overall level of Ainroguard is excellent.”
“I guess so. Huh.”
While the two were talking, Zandani asked a question with a curious expression.
“How can I call you?
“Please call me Lee Han.”
Lee Han deliberately hid his family name and only said his name.
Since he usually speaks with his family, if he only said his name, people would understand.
“What about your family?”
“??”
Lee Han responded to an unexpected response. I was a little taken aback.
How did I know he was from a noble family?
“Wait a minute. Those guys are from Kalaroguard!”
Luckily, before Lee Han could give a shit, the new customers caught his eye.
There were Kalaroguard students hanging out in front of him.
“They seem like cheap bastards. Look at them walking around so shamelessly!”
“What happened?”
“They attacked us last year!”
“Oh… How do you mean?”
Lee Han asked as if he wanted to hear the details.
Fortunately, the Baldrogard students didn’t notice.
“I cowardly summoned the undead.”
“……”
Lee Han said, ‘What is cowardice in that?’ I had to hold on.
It was really hard.
“And they threw us in a mud pit…”
“They’re Baldrogard!!”
“Attack! It doesn’t matter if you attack inside Einro Guard!”
The Kalaro Guard students also shouted as if they had discovered this. Lee
Han wondered whether he should ask why it was okay to attack inside Einro Guard or stop the fight for now.
“Everyone stop! If we attack, we will have no choice but to go on defense.”
“Tsk. You brought an escort. “They seem like cowards
.”
While Ihan was thinking, Garal stepped forward. When they discovered the outside wizard, the Kalaroguard students also took a step back.
However, as a member of the black magic school, Ihan knew that those students had not completely canceled the magic yet and were waiting for an opportunity. I could feel it.
How long should I wait?
“!”
When his crazy self came out and asked, Lee Han urgently said,
“Please wait a little longer. Right now, outsiders are attacking.”
Outsiders? Attacking?
“Yes.”
Do you need advice?
“Uh. Yes. “I would appreciate it if you could do that,”
Lee Han replied, remembering the useful explanation he had heard earlier.
Sweep it all up and bury it in a hole.
“…Do you have any other advice?”
