Chapter 625

Episode 625

“Please speak comfortably. Lord.”

Alcicle was courteous and yielded the seat of honor.

As a guest visiting the other family’s estate, he was treated with respect, so it was his turn to tell him that there was no need for that.

“Don’t do that. Mr. Pengerin.”

“Please feel free to talk to me too.”

“Thank you. Mr. Wardanaz.”

After lightly greeting each other, they sat down.

At that time, a knight staying in the manor knocked on the door.

“Pengerin. He said he was helping fix the ice wall today… Whoa! sorry!”

“no. There must have been a prior agreement.”

The family head gestured without any change in expression. I meant to keep talking.

“That day, Pengerin said that she would cast a spell on the ice wall of the Cape Oreumbawi Fortress because it was weakening. I came to see you when the time came…”

“Ah. It was.”

Alcicle felt sorry for him.

At the request of the knights, he promised magic to help patrol.

“sorry. Lord.”

“no. If it’s a precedent, it can be. Rather, it is something the Moradi family should be thankful for. Take Pengerin and have a good trip.”

“yes!”

Alcicle bowed his head in gratitude to the head of the family who did not rebuke the knight and was considerate of each other’s face.

And I met Lee Han’s eyes.

‘omg!’

Lee Han was looking at Alcicle with the eyes of a traitor.

“This is not it!”

“What is it not?”

“This is really a coincidence, unlike the last time!”

“ah. yes. You must be.”

Lee Han’s gaze at Alcicle was already down to the level of looking at the skeleton headmaster.

Feeling the change, Alcicle felt pain in his heart.

‘Heuk.’

“I will be back. Let’s talk again.”

“yes. what.”

“Because it wasn’t really intentional…”

Alcicle went out, sloppy all the way.

‘hmm.’

Lee Han felt nervous when he was left alone with the head of the Moradi family (actually, he had a junior, but it didn’t help much).

Right now, G-Clean is also excellent at suffocating people face-to-face, so what about Gaju?

‘He looks cold.’

It was an elf with a cold impression that didn’t look like a single drop of blood would come out even if stabbed with a needle.

Lee Han recalled the things he had heard about his family.

One of the leading families of knights in the North, he did not forget his iron-blooded and cold-blooded resentment…

He had a characteristic similar to Moradi.

And if it were the head of such a family, he would faithfully practice the virtues of his family more than anyone else.

“I have heard of the devil worshipers. Wardanaz County. I express my gratitude in the name of the family.”

“I didn’t do it alone.”

“Even so, it doesn’t change how great it is. I heard that you’re close with Giselle, but I’m curious how you got close with the top. Can you tell me?”

“Ouch.”

Lee Han almost spit out coffee. The junior who was reading a book next to me looked at me as if he was okay.

I can’t bear to say ‘Moradi kept fighting with me’ in front of the family head…

“Eh… We became close while overcoming Einrogard’s adversity together.”

Gaju listened to Lee Han’s words and was silent for a moment.

Then, as if he didn’t understand, he asked again.

“All of the graduates of Ein Lorgard would have overcome adversity together, but I know that even though the tops are different, those who are close to each other are rare. What difference does it make?”

“It’s because our seniors overcame fake adversity, and what we overcame was real adversity.”

Lee Han replied very boldly.

I was just thinking about crying confidently.

It’s not like the family head can know the situation inside Einrogard, so what…

‘?’

Hearing Lee Han’s words, Ga-ju hesitated for a moment because he didn’t understand.

He wondered if he had never been to Einrogard himself, so he didn’t understand.

‘What’s the difference between fake adversity and real adversity?’

The troubled head of the household immediately came to his senses.

It wasn’t that important now.

It was strange that Giselle had made a friend, but that was something Giselle had to do on her own, and the head of the household had to listen to the Wordanaz family’s intentions.

“It is indeed so. Wardanaz County. How is the head of household doing these days?”

“You are still hiding. You are obsessed with exploring the outer world.”

“You are wonderful. I have respected the head of the Wodanaj family since I was a child.”

Having said that with a cold face, Lee Han was a little embarrassed.

‘Don’t you know how to act?’

To an actor with the best facial expression in the empire like Lee Han, the straight elf head in front of him was a bit unfamiliar.

“Then, what is Mr. Wardanaj’s goal?”

“I’m thinking of an imperial bureaucrat.”

“hmm. is it.”

‘As expected, isn’t it easy to say.’

The head of the house was not surprised or irritated by the answer the boy in front of him said.

The patriarch of the Moradi family was more familiar with the conversations of nobles than the conversations of knights.

It was rare for aristocrats to confide in their feelings the first time they met.

It was the conversation of aristocrats who pretended not to be on the outside and later revealed fragments of their inner feelings when they found out that they were worthy of holding hands.

What was the boy of the Wodanaz family missing, dreaming of becoming an imperial official?

That was clearly a sign of humility.

‘Gonadaltes gave high regard to the boy from the Wodanaz family. The possibility that he is thinking of him as his successor is strong. Then, the word bureaucrat is not entirely wrong. That’s an extraordinary answer.’

Gajoo admired the boy’s expression of modesty and subtle metaphors.

It was a completely different look from the other bloodlines of the Wardanaj family I had met in the past.

“A great goal.”

“Do you think so?”

Lee Han was delighted.

I never thought that the head of another family would cheer me on.

“of course!”

“thank you.”

“If you’re a bureaucrat, you’ll be going around the empire’s territory, so I’d like to introduce you to my family’s territory.”

The head of the family offered to show the family estate, giving a suitable excuse.

If the opponent is ambitious, he will surely react in some way to the strength of the Moradi family.

“Oh… I gratefully agree.”

Lee Han agreed without thinking.

Compared to people like Sir Ziclin who came and asked to go hunting, touring the estate was a very mild and comfortable break.

And flattery was good too.

‘It seems to have inherited the cold northern weather… Mmm. I’m fed up. The spirit of the cold North Sea…’

‘Your gaze has changed.’

Seeing the boy from the Wardanaz family, who seemed to be deep in thought, the family’s expectations grew even more.

“This is an underground ranch.”

The Moradi family, which was located on a huge bedrock, had completed various facilities over a long period of time.

Among those facilities, there were rare facilities that were hard to find in other northern families.

One of them was an underground ranch made by drilling deep into a cave.

“Excellent!”

“Thank you.”

“To make a space by drilling a rock like this and then use it as a ranch. No family will be able to match!”

“It’s too much praise.”

Ga-joo showed no interest in Yi-han’s praise, only responding politely.

Because the compliments of the other person had no value.

The only thing that matters is what kind of promise is actually made.

‘It’s amazing.’

Lee Han flattered himself and then looked around.

It was easy to think of a flat ground on the ground as a ranch needs an open space, but this underground ranch that comes out when you go deep into a cave.

Among the animals raised inside, there were rare animals as well as ordinary livestock. It was a facility to be proud of.

“You see a lot of magic being used.”

“If you thought that a family of knights doesn’t use magic, you’re mistaken. Wardanaz County. In fact, there are quite a few wizards in the Moradi family. Of course, compared to the Wardanaj family, it’s not a big deal…”

“We are less. Because it wasn’t so noisy in the first place.”

While the householder analyzed the meaning of the words he had just said, Lee Han looked around at the animals in the underground ranch and the enchantments installed around him.

Certainly, I was able to see if the hard work I had learned during this year had any effect or what the installed magic was.

It was thanks to the severe training by people like Headmaster Skeleton and Professor Verdus.

Lee Han again expresses his gratitude to them…

‘No. I’m not grateful.’

…I tried to have it, but it didn’t work out.

‘Fever wind… Ah. Is it circulating the air? Is this drawing water? This seems to be purification-type magic, but there must be some animals who don’t like dirt.’

There was no way the family head could not fail to notice Lee Han’s behavior of watching the magic with interest.

As expected of the Wardanaj family, it seemed that he had a lot of interest in magic.

“Do you have any questions?”

“ah. I was thinking about it for a while to see if it could be deployed more efficiently.”

Gaju was interested in Lee Han’s words.

I couldn’t tell if that confidence was legitimate or if it was arrogant overconfidence.

I didn’t think that even a Einrogard student would be able to fix it for a sorceress who had just entered her second year… but the

opponent was from the Wardanaz family. It was something that might show something extraordinary.

‘It doesn’t matter which result.’

The most important thing was that it didn’t matter whether they succeeded or failed.

Because the other party will feel good about the kindness that the family head himself has shown.

“Touch me then. Mr. Wardanaz.”

“yes? no. If there is a problem…”

“The other wizards of the family are not far away. Even if there is a problem, we can fix it right away. I think it’s more important to give young wizards experience.”

He said without changing his expression. He was so cold that he looked like someone else would be scared.

However, Lee Han was now too bold to be intimidated by such a thing.

‘I think I can do this enough.’

“hmm. Then let’s do it for a second.”

In order to maintain and amplify the magical power of the magic circle, by cutting out the intricately entangled parts and infusing the rest of the magical power close to overload, it became a much simpler magic circle.

It was a method that only Lee Han could cover with his own magic even while reducing the number of magic stones.

“…!”

As the work progressed and the flow of magical power began to change, the family head’s expression, which had been the same all day, shook for the first time.

Gaju looked at Lee Han with surprising eyes. As the head of the family is also an excellent knight, I could sense what Lee Han was doing.

‘To reduce mana that way!’

“Looks like it’s done. Could something be wrong?”

“no. Great. Wardanaz County. I admired you.”

“haha. thank you Practicing at Ein Lorgard is worthwhile.”

The family head quickly calculated the number of manastones saved by the work he had just done.

“Would you like to look elsewhere? I would love to hear your opinion.”

“But what I just did was a kind of tinkering, so it might be difficult for complex magic circles.”

“It doesn’t matter. I would appreciate it if you could just look at it with a light heart.”

Gazoo smiled for the first time today.

The collaboration with the Wardanaj family in his head quickly faded.

His mind was filled with how far he could improve the territory with the genius of the boy in front of him.

“I’m here?”

Arriving at the gymnasium, Giselle looked around to see where her sister was.

In the deepest part, G-Clean was sitting with a worried face.

“Giselle.”

“yes.”

“hmm. no.”

“…why? You can just tell me!”

Giselle urged, wanting to know what her sister was worried about.

Most of G-Clean’s worries were useless, but sometimes there were dangerous worries like ‘I want to compete with a giant swordsman’.

“You’re my younger brother. Trust me and tell me.”

“hmm.”

G-Clean, who was worried, finally opened his mouth.

Giselle listened, wondering what she was worried about.

“I can’t show my swordsmanship because my father keeps taking Wodanaz.”

“……”

Giselle regretted asking.
