Episode 868:
Direth, who was trying to get the spirit to draw a picture, suddenly remembered something.
“By the way, junior.”
“yes.”
“Didn’t you say that you negotiated with Professor Verdus last time and received the key?”
“It’s better if you destroy it already.”
“……”
“senior. “I was just kidding.”
“Who thinks that’s a joke!”
Delet got angry at the look of his junior with a serious look on his face.
Lee Han explained again.
“I received the keys to the underground warehouses, but these are warehouses for storing materials and reagents. “To access the professor’s workshop, we must destroy the golems here.”
“I see.”
Even as Delet nodded, he felt that some doubts in his mind did not disappear.
Did my junior’s key really not fit in the hallway of the workshop on the first basement floor?
* * *
The group arrived in front of Professor Verdus’ workshop located on the first basement floor.
Jo Woo-rin shouted excitedly.
Professor Bagrek! Jo Woo-rin orders that that door be broken down as well!
“majesty. “You can’t break down that door.”
Professor Boladi shook his head and explained.
Placing defense golems on the first basement floor was a different story than entering the workshop located on the first basement floor.
In the former, there were some gaps, but in the latter, even Professor Verdus stubbornly refused to leave any gaps.
If I touched it too hastily, I might set off the entire tower’s alarm.
“Jukveltire will come into play here. majesty.”
Dirette called Yukveltire.
Since he was Professor Verdus’ student and knew that he was here, it was clear that he would explain in detail about the magic that had been cast.
If you figure out what kind of magic was used, Professor Bagrek will be there, so you should be able to break through.
“Yukbeltyre. “What kind of magic is going on here?”
“I don’t know either.”
“…what?”
While Direth was perplexed, Yukbeltire took out the workshop key that Professor Verdus had secretly copied.
Then he opened the door to the workshop on the first basement floor. Everyone in the party (including Jo Woo-rin) was speechless.
“…No, when and how did you save it?”
Lee Han asked in surprise.
Of course, the defense systems on the first basement floor and outside warehouses were at a brutal level, but by Professor Verdus’ standards, that was only the beginning.
The keys to the workshop where truly important works are stored are never easily given away.
If they were discovered, all the defensive magic in the attack room would have been changed again.
“I got it by chance three years ago.”
“How did you not get caught all this time??”
“It’s simple. “I never used it.”
“……”
Lee Han was shocked again.
It was surprising that Yukveltire had not used that key even once in three years, but it was even more surprising that he was using it this time.
“It’s not what I’m going to say, but… is it really okay to use it?”
“I am recommending an appropriate artifact to a talented junior. “This is a very rational action.”
“Oh yeah.”
Jourin was behind Yukbeltire, pretending to raise both front paws next to his head like horns. Lee Han could immediately understand what it meant.
-Are you not angry?
‘For now, let’s just say no…’
Lee Han was slightly worried that he might be taking too much advantage of his senior, who had lost his temper due to anger.
“professor. “What do you think…”
I called Professor Boladi to ask him something, but I couldn’t see him next to me.
When I looked up, Professor Boladi had already entered the workshop and was looking for a magic drafting machine.
“…professor…”
“?”
“it’s nothing.”
Lee Han went inside.
Just as the cunning rabbit digs three burrows, Professor Verdus also had several workshops of his own.
It is said that outstanding artists have multiple workshops to carry out creative activities in each, but Lee Han thought that the reason Professor Verdus had multiple workshops was to minimize the damage if one of them was robbed.
In that respect, the workshop on the first basement floor was a pretty good place.
The quality of the works placed was much higher than that of the workshop that Professor Verdus presented to his students.
It seemed that Professor Verdus was storing artifacts that he could deliver to other people or create to his own taste.
‘If it’s for educational purposes, shouldn’t we show this to students?’
“found. “Here it is.”
Yukbeltire called Lee Han.
On the workbench, I saw an artifact box labeled “Biblet’s Drafting Machine.”
“…Isn’t this an artifact you still use, not something you made?”
“?”
Yukveltire looked at his junior as if saying, ‘What should I do?’
Professor Boladi also looked at his student with a look in his eyes that said, ‘What does that have to do with it?’
Delet placed his hand on his junior’s shoulder.
‘I understand how you feel.’
‘thank you. senior.’
Lee Han felt grateful that there was at least one normal person.
“it’s nothing. “I’ll write it well…”
“Wait a minute.”
Yukbeltire stopped Lee Han and explained.
As soon as anyone other than Professor Verdus touched any of the items on the first basement floor, the magic of the entire Magic Tower activated.
Lee Han said, wondering what kind of nonsense this was saying.
“You put a spell on the door, but you put such a complicated spell on each and every object?”
It was usually too much time and effort to activate the magic of the entire magic tower not only by disarming or destroying it, but also by simply touching it.
You have to put a lot of effort into each item and cast a spell on it.
Professor Verdus is not an idle person, so such a thing is not possible…
Yukveltire answered immediately.
“okay.”
“……”
Lee Han once again felt the extraordinary nature of Professor Verdus.
I didn’t know because he always robbed the materials, reagents, and sometimes even the airship he was working on, but Professor Verdus was really determined to protect the items and couldn’t easily take them.
‘And I’m trying to steal that person’s favorite items.’
After thinking for about a second, Lee Han composed himself again.
Even if you get caught later, it was right to steal it first. Even more so if the opponent is Professor Verdus.
“I guess I’ll have to escape as soon as I grab hold of the thing.”
“That’s right.”
“I guess I can take one or two more. “Check it out.”
“…I wonder if you are angry at Professor Verdus… No.”
Lee Han was almost overwhelmed by Professor Boladi’s pursuit of profit so thoroughly.
‘I guess I’ll have to watch it some more first.’
Leaving the drafting machine alone, Lee Han looked around the workshop again.
Amulet of Aging Resistance
‘Amazing!’
Lee Han was impressed when he saw the amulet hanging on the wall.
I was amazed not simply because of its appearance or the sparkle of the crafted jewels, but because of the sophistication of the magic embedded within.
Just as small cogs are connected to form a huge movement, small magics are connected to drive away the user’s old age and bring youth back.
‘There’s an explanation written below.’
Even though it was difficult to steal because of the defensive magic, I wanted to read what Professor Verdus had written.
Produced at the request of the Pengerin family.
Delivery deadline 5 years, 6 years, 7 years late.
“……”
Please make the delivery!
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
If it’s this level of completion, I think I can just give it away, but I can’t believe it’s been holding on for 7 years.
It was strange that the Pengelin family did not send assassins.
‘no. It’s just that I don’t know, but he may have sent it…’
Upon closer inspection, other works were similar.
They were all excellent and beautiful, with phrases like “Delivery several years late” written underneath.
If you’re late one more time, I’ll send you to hell – Oh-
su, if you’re late
one more time, I’ll make you lecture in a really deep punishment room – Oh-su, if you’re late one more time, I’ll burn down the real workshop and hang you on the castle gate – If
you’re late just one more time, I’ll make you lecture Oh-su…
What on earth is your problem? Please do your work on time! – Ohsu
Yihan shook his head after discovering the thick pile of curse letters.
It wasn’t easy to feel sorry for the skeleton principal, but Professor Verdus was accomplishing that difficult task.
Lee Han was surprised to see the giant brass telescope for the Star Guide Passelette Kraer 3rd grade test
and the name written underneath it.
I never thought the exam for the lecture Lee Han was taking would be here! Well, Professor Verdus was an excellent artifact craftsman, so it was natural for other professors to entrust him with requests for artifacts for testing.
When Lee Han, who was looking around, stopped and looked at the brass telescope, other people gathered around to see what was going on.
“what?”
“Junior. “What are you looking at?”
Jo Woo-rin has a bigger and better telescope than this. His Majesty has it now, but if Lee Han needs it…
‘It really brings me to my senses.’
Lee Han spoke after blocking Jo Woo-rin’s mouth by pressing it up and down.
“I was surprised to find an artifact that was used in the test I was taking.”
“indeed.”
“aha.”
“Take care of it.”
“?”
Lee Han paused because it seemed like there was a strange answer among the answers that just came out.
Surprisingly, it was Professor Boladi who spoke.
‘no. When I think about it, I’m not surprised.’
“professor. “This is a test from another professor.”
“Securing it first is also a student’s ability.”
Yukveltire agreed with Professor Boladi.
“Professor Verdus should have prevented this.”
While Lee Han was speechless, Delet whispered next to him.
“Junior.”
“yes. As expected, taking care of this is a bit…”
“Let’s just take care of it.” “You need to take at least one less exam.”
* * *
Iactus: Professor Verdus’s attack has been robbed! Professor Verdus’s attack was robbed!! Professor Verdus’s attack was robbed!!!
Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Just write one line. Why is there so much fuss? It’s not the first time.
Iactus: I guess I read it wrong. The workshop was robbed, not the warehouse! It’s also a workshop on the first basement floor!
Beaver-Penguin-Fox:…Professor Verdus’s attack was robbed!!!!
Einrogard’s whispers continued to be inscribed as if he was in a state of madness: ‘Professor Verdus’ workshop was robbed.’
It was that surprising.
Not a warehouse or a workshop on the first floor, but a workshop on the first basement floor was robbed?
Baquantalana: Professor Verdus had many enemies. It’s a natural price to pay.
Iactus: No. You can’t just evaluate it that way. Professor Verdus has always had many enemies, but he has never had his personal attacks robbed.
Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Isn’t it perhaps related to the dragon that came this time? If it’s the power of a dragon…
Iactus: No way. It’s the royal family. A perfectly fine member of the royal family who did not even enroll in Einrogard. Would such a royal family member steal?
Vaquantalana: Just because you entered Ainrogard doesn’t mean that the royal family will become sane.
Iactus: What. If you enroll in Einrogard, you are just an Einrogard student.
Beaver-Penguin-Fox: I agree. I saw a junior member of the royal family once, and he ate bread hungrier than a beggar in a back alley. When you come to Einrogard, you are royal family and everything.
Lee Han noticed and intervened.
Gonadaltes: How did you find out that Professor Verdus’s workshop was robbed? Isn’t this a fake rumor?
Iactus: No. Professor Krair is trying to kill Professor Verdus.
Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Didn’t someone say they stole it and then secretly take it away?
Iactus: No way, it’s the same professor’s stuff… um… It might be possible.
Gonadaltes: It is certainly possible.
Baquantalana: I don’t think so.
Gonadaltes: Rather than that, the principal hasn’t been seen these days. Does anyone know why?
Lee Han secretly asked something he was curious about. Immediately, an insult came out.
Iactus: Everyone is happy because they can’t see it, so why are you asking why?
Beaver-Penguin-Fox: If you ask me, will you take responsibility if I come back tomorrow?
