Episode 654
âThis way! Please wait a moment.â
The gatekeepers guarding the Kraha familyâs mansion called their servants when the Valdrogard students arrived.
The students were amazed at the vast mansion site. Among the noble families with a long history, there were not many rich families like the Kraha family.
âThe Kraha family is really great. It would have been nice if someone from the Kraha family had come to Valdrogard.â
âthatâs right. I agree. Thereâs a mage whoâs the same age as us, and I heard that he entered Einrogard.â
âah. You mean the prince.â
âjoy. I donât like royalty. His nose is too high for a subject that only has a lot of numbers.â
âBe careful what you say, Basiu! The imperial family are the people who inherited the lineage of His Majesty the Great Emperor. They deserve respect.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The nobility of the empire could be roughly divided into three groups.
One is the loyalists who believe in and support the outstanding members of the imperial family as the next emperor.
The other is the aristocratic faction, which insists on alliance among nobles instead of trusting and supporting the imperial family.
The last one is a Neutralist who neither cares about. Families such as the Wardanaj family were representative neutralists.
As Yingsen was from a loyalist family and Bashiu was from an aristocratic family, even though their friendship was close, they could not compromise on this point.
âIngsen. Out of respect for your honor, Iâll cancel what I just said. Some royalty definitely deserve recognition! But what about the other members of the imperial family?â
âI wonât say that all members of the royal family are great! But there are few who are lazy and dissolute. They tarnish the honor of the imperial family! The prince of the Kraha family must be a respectable person.â
âjoy. I donât know if youâre a Valdrogard student, but I wonât admit it unless youâre an Einrogard student. He could be mean and twisted.â
âno. As he is from the Kraha family, he wonât be easily stained even if Einrogardâs seniors are mean and vulgar.â
Yingsen believed in the name of the Kraha family.
If he was a prince who inherited the blood of the Kraha family, he would surely have the right to buy the trust of the loyalist family.
âOh, not so bad!â
â?â
âI was better off. It was full of rotten dirt⦠Ugh. What am I talking about! You crazy mouth, you crazy mouth!â
A boy with bright blond hair was digging through the ground in a shady place with a hoe and a spade in a shabby outfit.
When the two saw it, they became interested, dismounted from their horses, and approached.
âBashiu. What do you think it is doing?â
âwell. Looking at the outfit, he looks like a servant in the mansion⦠Are you digging up rotten soil?â
âIsnât it a magic reagent?â
âIs there a magic that uses rotten soil?â
In Baldrogard, black magic was not dealt with. Thatâs why the students wondered if there was a magic that could use rotten soil as a reagent.
âThe Empire is full of all sorts of strange magic⦠so there might be.â
âBashiu. Letâs help.â
Ingsen held onto his staff and said. Bashiu was puzzled and asked again.
âYou want to help the servant? Did I hear you wrong?â
It was shameful for a noble to help a servant with his work.
Even the servants here are capable, so why should a visiting noble have to do menial work?
âYou heard that right. But what is different from what you think is that he will help you with magic.â
âYingsen always admires your wisdom!â
Bashiu admired his friendâs wisdom.
It was embarrassing for a nobleman to squat down like a servant while walking down the street to dig up dirt, but it was a wonderful mercy to help him dig up dirt with his magic.
How much word would a servant help spread in the mansion?
âHey there!â
Ingsen called the servant boy. Kainando looked puzzled and turned his head.
âLooks like you need to dig up some dirt, let me help you. ruler. Look out of the way!â
âWhatâ¦?â
âGather, soil. Gather, soil. Gather, soilâ¦â
Yingsen concentrated on memorizing a spell.
Guinando, who blinked at the slow spell casting speed, not knowing what the opponent was doing, realized it belatedly.
âWait, no way right nowâ¦â
ââ¦gather!â
Good food!
With the incantation, the underground soil that Gainando had dug began to rise upward.
It was a good amount of rotten dirt.
Yingsen smiled contentedly, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
âHow are you? This should be enough for you to take care of.â
ââ¦What nonsense! You bastard!â
Gainando shouted in anger.
â?!â
Yingsen and Bashiu were shocked and could not even answer. He never expected to hear such words from a servant at the mansion who visited as a guest.
âHow dare you say such a thingâ¦â
âWhy and how do you say such a thing? You can do it a hundred times! These fools! Maggots not worth sending to this punishment room!â
Gainando stomped his feet and felt unfair.
The two noble boys went into a stupor when the swear words they had learned from Professor Mortum came out.
âYes⦠This insult to us for daring to help youâ¦â
âWhat are you doing to help! Do you know whoâs doing this because they canât dig in the dirt?! Gather, soil!â
As he cast a spell while swinging his staff, soil gushed right next to him.
The two were so shocked that they couldnât speak.
It was more surprising than the servantâs swearing.
A servant can cast magic.
Itâs faster and more accurate than both!
âUh⦠howâ¦?!â
âWhat! Have an easy order! Are you guys really stupid? This soil is less effective when magic touches it! I have to dig it out here with mystical iron equipment to keep the effect!â
âThat⦠thatâ¦â
âI didnât know. we.â
âIf you donât know, magic ends! What are you going to do! Itâs hard to find rotten soil, so Iâve been walking around all day!â
Gainando jumped up and down.
I worked hard all day preparing the black magic reagent, but it was all in vain because of crazy people passing by.
If things went back like this, Lee Han might have doubts, âArenât you here to play?â
âFollow me! You guys explain!â
âOoh, we have to go.â
âletâs go!â
The two hurriedly ran off onto their horses.
The spirit of the wizard boy asking me to follow him was unusual.
âWhere?! Get off now! Come back!â
âOoh we are guests! Donât attack us!â
âWhat are all these crazy people?!â
Gainando was stunned, but he didnât curse his back.
Even so, he was a guest of his own family, but he could not attack him.
But I couldnât help but be upset.
âJust try to get caught! Just try to get caught! I will bury you upside down in a dirt pit!â
âQuick! Drive fast!â
âI was not a servant. It must be a family mage!â
The two realized as they rode away and ran away.
That boy was clearly a wizard belonging to the Kraha family, not a servant.
Otherwise, such an eccentric reaction would not have been explained.
There are few other people who disregard authority and order and be eccentric like the wizards of the Empire.
âYou look young, but are you a family mage?â
âYou must have been drinking an elixir that deceived your age!â
âMagicians are really eccentric people. How fortunate Baldrogard is in that regard!â
* * *
âSo some strangers put a spell on the rotten dirt they found and it popped off and flew away?â
âhuh.â
ââ¦â¦â
The friends looked at Gainando with strange eyes. Eandurde murmured.
âlie!â
âno! Do you doubt your senior when it comes to your junior?! Follow me if you donât believe me! I will show you!â
âcalm down. Guinan Island.â
Lee Han soothed Gainando.
To be honest, I didnât really believe what Cainando said. It was because he had told similar lies many times.
â Lee Han. The principalâs minions stole my homework.
â Lee Han. The principalâs minion chewed up my magic book.
â Lee Han. The principalâsâ¦
â Hey. work on it
These lies were all the more effective because they could actually happen in Einrogard.
Regardless of the authenticity of the lies, Lee Han took out the things he needed right now.
âhere. Is this enough?â
âuh?! Did you have it?!â
âI know how to do black magic too, so I carry reagents with me.â
Lee Han took out a bottle of rotten soil from his reagent bag and held it out to Gainando.
âreceive. Itâs pretty good dirt, so it should be good enough for black magic. You donât know when the Valdrogard students will come, but you should have the reagents with you.â
âLee Hanâ¦!â
Gainando was moved to tears.
Yoner looked at the soil and was puzzled.
âWhere did you get it?â
Itâs easy to find Einrogard, since students from the school of black magic built a separate mage tower and live nearby, but wouldnât it be easy to find outside?
âHow did you get it?â
âI took it in my spare time when I stopped by the Moradi family estate.â
ââ¦â¦â
Yoner was astonished at Lee Hanâs meticulousness in collecting rotten soil in his spare time by visiting other family mansions.
âIâm going to keep it a secret from Moradiâ¦â
If Giselle knew, she would be furious, saying, âIs there anyone who visits someone elseâs family and digs up rotten soil in their spare time?â
âGuinan Island.â
âuh?â
âI believe in you.â
ââ¦Leehan!â
Gainando was in tears.
Bad friends werenât even friends.
The mean classmates of Ein Rogard didnât believe in him, but Lee Han was different.
âYou are a real friend!â
âYes, yes. Anyway, because I believe in you, never lose to the Waldrogard students.â
ââ¦â¦â
Realizing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Gainando stopped being moved and noticed.
Lee Hanâs face was as serious as a statue.
ââ¦Uh, there are areas where magic is good at and there are areas where it is not good at.â
âyes.â
âThen, if Iâm unlucky, I might lose to the Waldrogard studentsâ¦?â
âyes. But donât give up.â
ââ¦â¦â
Gainando sent his eyes to his friends to help, but they slightly averted their eyes.
They too were afraid of Lee Han now.
âCainan Island. If you have a weakness, you can attack the opponentâs weakness first. donât support it anyway Ground⦠no. You donât have to know first.â
âLee Hanâ¦!â
Gainando suddenly wanted to go back to Ein Lorgard.
âeveryone. The Valdrogard students have arrived. He wants to see you guys, so how can I deliver the answer?â
âHere you are.â
Lee Hanâs words made the friends nervous.
I didnât think Iâd lose to the Valdrogard students in any way, but if I lost even one in the oddsâ¦
âI might die with Guyanando.â
âI might die with Gainan-samaâ¦â
âI donât want to die with Gainando!â
âAsk me to come in. After all, if you stay inside the mansion, you will have no choice but to meet.â
* * *
âThis is Yoner of the Maikin family. This place isâ¦â
When nobles met, servants usually introduced each other by family name and family name.
Yingsen and Bashiu, who finished their introductions first, concentrated on listening to the introductions of the Einrogard students in turn.
ââ¦This is Mr. Gainando, who inherits the bloodline of the Kraha family and the imperial family.â
âOuch.â
âKeuk.â
âyou⦠You guysâ¦!â
Not only the two of them, but also Gainan Island was shocked.
Gainando wanted to shout âSoil destroyers!â but he had to keep his mouth shut because Lee Han was glaring at him.
âWhat the heck?â
âWasnât he a family mageâ¦?â
The two of them tried to sort things out somehow, but it only made them feel more confused.
âThis is Lee Han from the Wardanaz family.â
â5thâ¦5th grade!â
â??â
