Episode 629
âIf it werenât for the Ein Lorgard students, I would have appointed you as an adjutant.â
âokay. okay. There was a time when I also wanted to use a dragon as a mount. But he said he hates dragons.â
The headmaster of the skeleton replied plaintively.
It was clear that the emperor would be contacted right away if he put Wodanaz in the position of lieutenant of the Moradi family.
Are you rebelling against yourself right nowâ¦
âI know.â
âIt would be nice though.â
â?â
The head of the household looked away as if asking what the skeleton principal was saying.
Headmaster Skeleton pointed to Lee Han and Giselle and said.
âAre you two friends? Itâs rare to see other guys in the tower getting along well outside of it.â
From the point of view of the family head, who is an efficiencyist, it was inevitable that his children would be happy to maintain a close relationship with Wodanaz.
First of all, it is not easy to interact with the Wardanaj family, but to maintain friendship with the children like that.
By now, the family may have been excited and planning a âplan to acquire northern supremacy with the Wardanaz familyâ in their heads.
âNot good.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
â??â
However, the answer that came back was unexpected. The family head coldly denied it.
The skeleton headmaster was puzzled.
âWhy not?â
âThis is a foolish move. Wasting the little time left in swordsmanship sparring. We should have talked about the territoryâ¦â
ââ¦â¦â
The skeleton headmaster was shocked.
So nowâ¦
are you saying that your child is playing with a friend and regretting it??
âNo, such a crazy person.â
âAre you kidding?â
âIsnât it? Canât we build friendships by going to Ein Rogard?â
ââ¦â¦â
Of course, from the family headâs point of view, he might have wanted to talk a little more about the future of Youngji and the talent he had found.
But usually when a child is playing with a friend, donât they say, âHeh heh, Young-ji can talk later, so make friends with your friendâ?
On top of that, saying âmy work comes first, so you can go to Einrogard and playâ was not something that could be done with a normal mind.
ââ¦The next time he visits, he will set up your schedule first.â
âI was thinking of doing that.â
The family head looked at the skeleton headmaster as if he was saying something obvious.
For the next visit, he had planned to schedule everything first so that neither Ziclyn nor Giselle would disturb him.
The steadfast appearance of the jokes did not work, and the headmaster skeleton felt like a headache that didnât exist.
âhey. Bring a drink.â
âDoes His Excellency even drink alcohol?â
âWhy is alcohol given to the undead worth wasting?â
âno.â
The attendant was frightened and brought a drink. Headmaster Skeleton exclaimed and poured the clear liquid into his mouth.
âMy lord.â
While Giselle was taking a short break, Lee Han approached.
Then he looked at the skeleton headmaster and asked.
âThe principal is drinking too⦠No, why are you doing this!â
âWhy canât the undead drink alcohol?â
Headmaster Skeleton poured the alcohol from the glass onto Yihan. Lee Han avoided drinking by moving left and right. Thanks to being beaten by G-Clean once, the reaction was quick.
âWhat happened to you, Mr. Wardanaz?â
âI brought you a present to commemorate this visit.â
Lee Han took out a Juseom Juseom gift.
It was the 40-year-old that I received from the beech knights the other day.
I want to sell it in my heart, but I was a little too lazy to sell this kind of gift. It would be very difficult if the Knights saw you while touring the Imperial Market.
It was better to look at the big picture and use it as a bribe or gift.
âI dedicate this gift to the head of the northern shield.â
ââ¦Thank you.â
The head of the family received it without much reaction, but the skeleton headmaster could tell that the head of the family was very impressed.
âYouâre digging your own grave very deep.â
Headmaster Skeleton clicked his tongue and looked at Lee Han.
Maybe the next time I visit this place, Iâd rather go into the underground prison.
At least there wonât be someone to keep talking to from the side!
* * *
âUghhh. Ugh.â
The day you leave the estate.
Alsicle was lying in agony in the carriageâs bedroom.
People who were popular among knights had to have strong livers.
Everyone who sees it recommends a drink, so it is impossible not to get drunk.
âCanât we dissolve it with magic?â
âItâs hard because of drunkenness and hangoversâ¦â
Magic wasnât omnipotent.
This was especially true for drunken wizards.
No matter how good magic is, it is useless to a drunken wizard.
âCanât we ask the principal?â
âhaha. Do you think I will do it?â
The skeleton headmaster replied with an expression that he would die of excitement.
Lee Han shook his head.
âI am not doing this to be grumpy. Itâs just that thereâs no need to forcibly pull something that can be naturally healed with magic. Would you have learned?â
âah. I learned.â
It was easy to misunderstand that magic basically changes the providence of the world into the wizardâs will, but the first thing wizards learn is how to refrain from magic.
It was a famous adage that magicians who depended on magic were more likely to be consumed by magic.
âBut I think the principal just wants to see Alsicle-nim suffer.â
âDid your job in the North go well?â
âokay. Thanks to you, there are things that ended more comfortably. Itâs the first time Iâve ever seen G-Duff look so happy.â
âYou werenât particularly happy, were you?â
âThat is enough to make me happy. Trust me.â
Headmaster Skeleton looked at the distant northern mountains and said.
âThe reason the remote areas of the Empire are dangerous is not simply because the natural environment is harsh. Itâs because you donât know what kind of change the magical power accumulated in such a place will cause.â
The harsher the natural environment, the thicker the concentration of magical energy in that place.
From the point of view of defending the empire, it was indeed a terrible thing.
It was because you never know when dimensional gates will open in various parts of the vast empire, and beings from the outside world may come over and rampage.
The northern mountains were also one of those notorious places. There was a reason why Rangers like the Shadow Patrol were formed.
âTherefore, we need to constantly look for changes with interest.â
ââ¦?â
Lee Han was puzzled by the story of the skeleton headmaster who suddenly went from talking about the family of Moradi to the safety of the northern mountains and our empire.
Why did you tell yourself that?
âUh yes. All right.â
âokay. Even monsters from other dimensions are annoying, but even the demon worshipers are rampaging⦠Annoyances always come together.â
The skeleton principal sighed and took out the letter.
It was something I didnât want to do, but it was something I had to do.
Looking at the current situation in the north, it was necessary to put wizards in to check it out.
Poof!
He began to write with one stroke, and the completed letter immediately flew out of the wagon like a bird.
âI donât even have gold for research, so I have to waste it looking for devil worshipers⦠I want to grind my bones.â
The last words of the skeleton headmaster felt like a gloomy murder. Lee Han quickly agreed.
âLetâs lock them up in the underground punishment room forever!â
âIsnât that a bit cruel?â
ââ¦â¦â
A new letter flew into the flying wagon.
Headmaster Skeleton, who tore up the drum and read the contents inside, frowned.
âWhat are you doing?â
âI thought it was over, but a request came in. The bishop of the Bildotzcal Order has something to consult with.â
âIf itâs the Vildotzkal Churchâ¦â
Lee Han was lost in thought.
âThe Church of the Night, right?â
âItâs the Cult of Thieves.â
ââ¦I said it intentionally.â
Bildotzkal God of night and thieves.
When someone I donât know well sees it, âIsnât that an evil spirit? He could have responded, âIs the Empire in ruin? A god like that?â But in fact, the priests of Vildochkal were not thieves.
The priests who serve Bildotzkal always believe in Bildotzkal, the symbol of the night and the incarnation.
â¦The problem was that the thieves also had a lot of faith in Bildotzkal.
The history was so deep that no one remembered Bildotzkal as âthe god of the nightâ. It was remembered only as âthe god of night and thievesâ.
âI think Ratford also believed in Wildotzkarl.â
Ratford didnât have a devout faith, but he did have enough faith to pray âlet something good come outâ while throwing an imperial fairy tale from time to time.
In fact, this was a much deeper faith than Lee Han.
âWhy is the principal in the Church of Wildotzkal? omg. Did you attack the priests by any chance?â
âItâs because thereâs one guy who decided to enroll there. You donât call me for attacking the priests.â
âShouldnât you deny that you didnât attack?â
The Headmaster Skeleton showed an expression of hesitation, which is rare.
âIs there something wrong with that junior?â
âno. Itâs just because I donât want to mix things up with the priests. It makes me feel stupid.â
ââ¦letâs finish it quickly. Isnât this the last one?â
Lee Han pushed the back of the skeleton headmaster, thinking that he had to finish his overtime work quickly.
* * *
Sometimes thieves would visit the temple with fantasies and say, âIâll have to enter the Church of Wildotzkal and learn the true art of the nightâ, but such thieves would retreat from the entrance.
The darkness greets you from the moment you open the door and enter.
This was unique to the temple of the Bildotzkal Church.
Lee Han and the headmaster went inside with the dark vision magic.
Surprisingly, the churchâs priests went around in the dark as if it was no big deal.
âWhere is the thief captain?â
ââ¦Gonadaltes-sama. We are not thieves. The Night Godâ¦â
âYes. okay. The thief captain.â
Even in the darkness, it was clear that the priests were looking at the headmaster with resentment.
Embarrassed, Lee Han secretly stood looking at the wall pretending not to be with them. However, the skeleton headmaster grabbed Lee Hanâs arm without mercy and dragged him away.
âGonadaltes. Are you here?â
â?â
Lee Han opened the door to the bishopâs classroom and opened his eyes wide.
There was no one, but a voice was heard.
Headmaster Skeleton looked at Lee Han and said.
âYou are still immature. Do not be reassured that you have penetrated the darkness.â
â!â
At those words, Lee Han realized that he had been overly dependent on dark vision magic.
As magic always bites its tail, there are always countermeasures.
âDivine magic!â
I didnât know if the bishop of the Vildochkal Church could summon darkness that couldnât be penetrated with dark vision.
Lee Han withdrew his vision and focused on his magical senses. Then, I felt a unique magical power flow out in front of me.
Slowly, as if scotopic, the eyes captured the bishopâs figure.
The bishop was an old lady with a good impression.
âGreetings. Wodanaz. This is Ines of the Gre family. This is Lee Han of the Wardanaz family.â
âGonadaltes. Nice to meet you. You still correct me.â
âYou too have a lot of trouble feeding the thieves.â
Lee Han hurriedly said, fearing that the atmosphere would become chilly.
âIt must be the priests. haha.â
âno. I was talking about thieves. Ines here literally feeds the thieves around her.â
ââ¦?â
âCharity. charity. What you do to the other top guys. Serving meals to poor people.â
âIâm doing it for money, but thatâs it.â
Lee Han missed the timing to explain to the admiring eyes of the bishop in front of him.
âI wonder if the punishment room is better.â
âThere are thieves who need a punishment room and there are thieves who need a meal.â
Despite the plaintive words of the Headmaster Skeleton, the Bishop responded without losing his dignity.
âSo what did you call me for? If the freshmen donât want to go to Ein Lorgard because of prayer, you can persuade them yourself. How difficult is that?â
âI didnât call you for that. Mr. Gonadaltes. The freshman has a very small problem, so I called him to consult.â
âDivine Magic Awakening? Super power? magic refusal? aristocracy? The last one doesnât matter. rather good If you come to Ein Rogard, you can beat up nobles under the permission of imperial law.â
âIn fact, the priest who received the offer this time is a thief.â
ââ¦This is a bit admirable. Is the Church of Vildotzkal finally going to live up to its reputation?â
âStop it. Please.â
Lee Han pulled the skeleton headmasterâs sleeve to dry it.
