Episode 626
âYouâre worried about something like thatâ¦â
Giselle held back a sigh and raised her head.
Isnât that her own sister though?
âJust look at my swordsmanship. More than that, why should you show Wardanaj your swordsmanship?â
When there was no one else in the gymnasium, Ziclin abandoned his usual stern appearance and answered his brotherâs question more comfortably.
âI promised to show you, so it is.â
âIs that so?â
Giselle was puzzled.
When do you make that promise?
âWhy did you make such a promise?â
âWhen I talked about fighting a giant swordsman in the past, they clapped for wanting to see swordsmanship.â
ââ¦â¦â
Wasnât that just a greeting?
Giselle knew very well that Wodanaz could be flattered if needed.
Even if the headmaster sends the prince to the punishment room, isnât he a toxic person who can say, âItâs a great choice, hahaâ.
âThere must be a chance.â
âYou donât have much to meet, do you?â
âI know?â
Giselle hesitated as her sister stabbed her to the core.
Certainly this winter was an exception, and usually there were no visits by Wardanaj to the family manor.
Fortunately, it was.
âGood for you!â
âGiselle.â
âOops.â
When Giselleâs expression hardened, Giselle realized her mistake.
âFriends should be cherished.â
âNoâ¦â
âDonât be pretentious.â
âItâs not a bluff⦠kuh. I was wrong.â
Knowing her sisterâs stubbornness, Giselle just gave up. Fortunately, Ziclin nodded.
âBy the way, if youâre going to show off your swordsmanship, you showed it on the last hunt⦠werenât there many opportunities?â
âIsnât that a proper demonstration?â
Zicline tapped the scabbard with her finger and said.
Originally, in order to feel the swordsmanship properly, it was good to face the swordsmanship in person.
And to face-to-face, even if it was practice, it was good to have a confrontation.
ââ¦â¦â
Giselle was astonished.
Would it be okay if it was a knight within the family?
âThatâs a bitâ¦â
âGiselle. Friends are preciousâ¦â
âNo, I say this because I value them!â
Giselle really didnât want to step out like this for Wodanaz.
But now, how can you stay still when Ziclin is about to break an outsiderâs limbs and rupture his muscles?
âI also have to call you unconditionally. You know!?â
âi get it. okay.â
G-Clean looked at her younger brotherâs grumbling and said he was cute. Giselle was dumbfounded and nearly grabbed the back of her neck.
After the conversation, the knights entered the gymnasium one by one. G-Clean was polite, as if the comfortable attitude he had just shown was a lie.
âGiselle. Letâs see swordsmanship.â
âyes. ⦠Wait a minute sister. Why does my father keep taking Wardanaz with him?â
I was distracted by the swordsmanship story, so I was missing it, but thinking about it, it was strange that the householder had Wodanaz.
Why do you keep taking guests like that because you have a lot to talk about with outside guests?
âGiselle. Focus on your swordsmanship.â
âOh really.â
* * *
The servant of the household was surprised when he opened the door to the office and entered.
The family head, who had always been sitting with a cold expression, was looking at the boy of the Wodanaz family with a satisfied look he had never seen before.
If the cold-hearted Gajoo was that level, it was almost at the level of honey dripping from his eyes.
âWhatâs going on?â
âAh yes! Zicline said he has something to tell youâ¦â
âIf itâs not urgent, tell him to wait. ruler. Letâs talk more. Wardanaz County. Can the high wind barrier on the northern cliff be improved?â
âI havenât confirmed it, but it seems possible if the structure is the same as the one Iâve solved so far.â
âHow amazing. Iâve never heard of anything like this from other wizards.â
âIn fact, instead of saving reagents, it is a way to increase the burden on the individual wizard. Itâs not common.â
âDidnât I say that he often did it in Ein Lorgard?â
The housekeeper was puzzled inwardly.
Shouldnât it be used frequently within Einrogard if the burden on the individual wizard is aggravated?
âMr. Wardanaz. You canât just accept something like this in good faith.â
âhaha. no.â
In fact, Lee Han also wanted to receive money.
However, this wasnât Ein Rogard, it was outside where the laws and rules of the empire were alive and breathing. I couldnât hold on to anyone and ask them to give me money.
Like the skeleton headmaster, he was invited as a family friend and stayed, but he couldnât receive gold coins in the name of repair work.
Of course, the head of the family knew that well. Asking a guest more than once or twice is rude, even for the inviter.
âWhat if I asked the principal and sent an official request to Einrogard?â
â!â
Lee Han admired the family leaderâs words.
As expected of the head of a large family like the Moradi family, he was very polite, good-natured, kind, and wonderful.
Instead of asking for more for free, I was prepared to pay a proper fee.
âAs expected, the Moradi family is not the shield of the North for nothing. Itâs a great family.â
âyes. Iâll be waiting for you.â
Lee Han hesitated to answer.
Come to think of it, it was because if he received a request like that, Lee Han would have to come here once more to the Northern Territory.
â¦Are you okay?
âno. Iâll go out anyway, but a place I know would be better.â
As an exception, Lee Han went outside even in his first year (and fought the Sea Serpent), but from his second year, he often went outside to receive requests from Einrogard.
Being a wizard is basically a job that requires a lot of money.
âokay. Donât do that. Can you tell me more?â
âHow dare Iâ¦â
âPride is not a favored virtue in the Empire. But I think that a competent man must be somewhat arrogant. Itâs not arrogance, itâs confidence.â
âYou must be close with the principal.â
Lee Han put on a puzzled expression at the catchphrase he had heard a lot.
Ga-joo continued talking without even knowing that the remark he had just made slightly lowered his favorability rating.
âAnd how often do guests like this come? I just want to hear it purely. Donât be afraid to tell me. It doesnât matter if itâs not magic.â
Gaju looked at Lee Han with a mixture of affection and anticipation.
A student who only finished the first year could improve the magic design of the entire territory.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
I thought it was the Wardanaj family, but it was true.
A genius like this might be able to give fresh advice not only in magic, but in other directions!
âhmm. Actually, I did think this way. Arenât there many apprentice knights from other knight families in the north in this familyâs territory?â
âyes.â
Here in the estate, there were many children of other knight families who wanted to be trained and interact under the name of the Moradi family.
Of course, it cost a lot of money, but considering the name and power of the family that would become stronger in the North, it was a profitable business.
âI think the apprentice knights here have a little too much free time.â
âDo you have a lot of free time?â
The family head tilted his head forward, changing his expression at the interesting story. It was to listen more closely to Lee Hanâs story.
âyes. In my spare time, I go around chatting, looking for other customers and talkingâ¦â
âHmm. However, if you are a knight, it is essential to have exchanges with knights from other families.â
âyouâre right. I know how important it is to connect with each other. But the problem is that so much time is wasted using that as an excuse!â
There was sincerity in Lee Hanâs voice, who was constantly tormented by the bored knights who came to play.
That sincerity was also conveyed to the householder.
ââ¦Thatâs right!â
To the family head, who always pursues efficiency and rationality, the remarks made by the boy of the Wodanaz family were poignant and painful.
To have an outsider point out a bad habit that you should correct yourself first.
âApart from the designated hours, we must not allow them to wander around unnecessarily. Just like the Ein Rogard method.â
âCan you tell me more?â
It felt all the more plausible and effective since it was the Einroguard method.
Lee Han nodded and pointed to the lodging area on the map where the knights of other families were staying.
âruler. This lodging here is too central to the manor. Itâs such a good structure to go play somewhere else just by opening the door and going out. It seems to me that all of these towers should be driven to the cliff here. Then you wouldnât dare to sneak outâ¦â
ââ¦â¦â
Gaju looked at Lee Han with eyes like burning ice.
It was the first time I had ever seen a young man so sincerely wanted to be my chief adjutant.
If it wasnât for my family and school, I would have sat next to any suggestion!
* * *
âWhat the hell did you talk about so much?â
âDidnât you say anything?â
It seemed that he had been eating and sleeping for several days and just talked to the householder.
Lee Han put pickled herring and fried onions on rye bread and took a big bite. When eating with the householder, he was so nervous that he couldnât eat comfortably.
Alcicle, who was next to me, said jokingly.
âMoradi. Donât be fooled. âCause I canât believe when Wodanaz says âI didnât do anythingâ.â
âOh, Alsicle of the Pengerin family who left me to go repair the ice wall! sorry. I never thought I would be seen as such!â
â⦠Hey⦠Iâm sorryâ¦â When
Lee Han openly called out politely, Alcicle was very embarrassed.
âFeel free to call me Alcicle! As usual!â
âIâm not sure what you mean. Alsicle of the Pengerin family.â
âBecause I wonât run away againâ¦! Iâm really sorry! It wasnât intentional! Hey, Iâll do you a favor next time! really! I would also like to ask you to eat a hundred sardines!â
âhaha. Alcicle. Iâm not sure what youâre talking about. Didnât I always call you comfortably?â
Watching their skit, Giselle yawned and asked again.
âSo what were you talking about?â
âBecause I didnât do anything. Youngji is pretty Youngji is good Ah. I heard that the head of the household is entrusting a request to Einrogard. Iâll come during the semester, so would you like to join me?â
âwhat? It canât be.â
Lee Han was puzzled by Giselleâs words.
âWhy? Is there any reason why I shouldnât entrust the request to Einrogard?â
âBecause it is expensive.â
ââ¦â¦â
For a very realistic reason, Lee Han thought Giselle was joking.
However, Alcicle nodded as if he understood.
âRight. Ein Lorgard is expensive.â
âIs that enough?â
âI sometimes want to call Einrogard students to help with magic experiments, but I put up with it when I look at the cost.â
âNo, but is the school still short of money?â
âBecause magic experiments are more expensive.â
âWhat the hell are seniors wasting?â
Even if I bathed in gold coins in a golden bathtub, I think it would be less tiring than thisâ¦
âDid it take you so long to talk about magic?â
âPerhaps. But why is it so noisy outside?â
âThe lodging where the knights from outside stay has changed. To the edge of the cliff.â
To Alcicleâs question, Giselle explained without thinking.
Lee Han flinched.
âDid I turn up the heat too much?â
âwhy?â
âwell. It is said to raise the training level of the knights⦠Wodanaz. Something important happened while you were talking for days.â
âIs there a dinner party tomorrow night? I know. donât worry.â
âMy sister will play against you tomorrow morning.â
ââ¦Youâre so mean, Moradi. How could you do this to me?â
ââ¦hey!!â
