This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Let me think about it again later.After wrapping up the Black Book tightly and sealing it at the bottom of his bag (the Black Book vibrated as if this was useless), Lee Han headed toward the Dark Tower.
Senior Ogoldos, whom he hadnt seen in a while, waved his hand happily upon seeing Lee Han.
Wardanaz. Good to see you.
Its been a while. Senior. You look tired, did something happen?
Its nothing much. I was just thinking about dark magic items that might sell well.
!
Ogoldos had dark circles under his eyes as if he had been thinking all night.
Ogoldos, who had been wondering whether to say this or not, finally opened his mouth.
Wardanaz. I respect your feelings, but
?
Dark magic just doesnt make money. Dont push yourself unnecessarily.
Lee Han was dumbfounded by his seniors fierce encouragement from the start.
Dont you have to try to know?
Sometimes there are things you can know without trying. Like which direction the sun rises, or the Principals wickedness I think dark magic will continue to be the same.
Ogoldos finished speaking and entered the Dark Tower. His drooping shoulders looked particularly narrow and frail from behind.
Cough. Wardanaz.
This time Professor Mortum walked over. Lee Han bowed his head politely.
Good day, Professor. Thank you for granting my request.
Request
Professor Mortum fell into thought.
The disciple before him had petitioned to gather not only the seniors of the dark magic school but even the professor to think about magic together.
Professor Mortum had tried to refuse because he was tired and annoyed, but his disciple didnt stop persuading.
-If you keep refusing, Professor, Ill send a complaint to the Principal!
-!
Cough, can you call that a request?
Pardon?
No. Nothing.
Diret had only started threatening Professor Mortum around his fourth year, but the Wardanaz Family boy was already learning how to threaten professors in his second year.
Professor Mortum suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Perhaps he was unknowingly raising a dragons offspring.
Oh. Cough. Wardanaz.
Yes, Professor.
I respect your feelings, but dark magic just doesnt make money. Dont push yourself unnecessarily.
Lee Han was speechless at the back of Professor Mortum as he turned and entered the Dark Tower.
What kind of start is this!
***
In fact, Einroguards dark magic school hadnt failed to attempt gaining financial resources.
Flesh Golem
-Attempted to sell at 30% cheaper price than Einroguards existing golems.
-Initially sold five units, but afterwards received continuous complaints about foul odor and hideous appearance.
-Eventually discontinued due to insufficient sales.
Skeleton Legion
-Made contracts with undead and ordered them to help buyers.
-Unlike dark mages who felt less repulsion toward undead, ordinary mages began to feel repulsion and resistance from the undead.
-Discontinued after paying compensation.
Ahraks Deadly Poison Series
-Attempted to create and sell Ahraks deadly poisons with various powerful effects.
-Was most successful but buyers complained about excessively expensive prices.
-Eventually discontinued due to insufficient sales
Usually, attempts from the dark magic side failed either because they were hideous and foul-smelling so they didnt sell, or because they were too expensive.
Agdung took out his carefully prepared content and presented it.
I think more powerful advanced dark magic could be the path to sales. Unlike outside, Einroguard students can implement most things themselves. We need to sell more powerful and rare magic.
Oh
What I researched is Ahraks Navy Blue Poison, and this poison is bound to be popular among mages. Think of its power!
The students showed interested expressions at the senior from Callarogards words.
Indeed, befitting a mage who gained fame for poisons among the Empires past dark mages, Ahraks deadly poison series had decent popularity among Einroguard students.
What if they created and sold Ahraks Navy Blue Poison, which was always mentioned among the most powerful poisons?
Indeed, the navy blue poison couldnt be made last time due to lack of materials, so it might be different if we make it.
This might be popular
Cough. Wrong.
Professor Mortum interjected.
At those words, Agdung asked back with slight confusion.
Wrong?
Its just not recorded, but back then we also tried to make and sell the navy blue poison. Cough. It required so many materials that we tried to find buyers first.
Is that so? How many came forward?
0 people.
How many?
Cough. 0 people. You fools are mistaken! No matter how good the poisons performance, only dark mages would admire it Other students wont buy it because its expensive.
The dark magic school students thought other students would appreciate better poisons, but ordinary students didnt really know how much difference there was between poisons or how amazing they were.
They might buy out of curiosity once, but even that disappears when prices go up.
Why isnt it written down?!
Cough. They said it was embarrassing so they didnt write that down.
Its, its old history, so things might be a little different now
Even Agdung, who said that, didnt seem very confident as his voice trembled.
Its fine, Senior. Those who dont know good poison are the bad ones!
Right. Were selling navy blue poison at this price, these bastards! They dont even know to be grateful!
The dark magic school students complained and cheered for Agdung.
Agdung was moved and choked up by the support from his juniors from other magic schools.
Th, thank you all. Actually, I Contaminated Cloak sold and such, so I thought Einroguard students all knew the greatness of dark magic well even if they werent from the dark magic school.
That sold!?
Professor Mortum stopped coughing and exclaimed in surprise.
Selling Contaminated Cloak.
That was more surprising than finding a dark magic item that might sell well.
Cough, how on earth!?
Lee Han sold it, Professor.
Gainando. Cough. You cant say threatening is selling
Lee Han looked at Professor Mortum as if dumbfounded and said.
I didnt threaten, I sold it properly.
Really? How?
There was a contaminated ones outbreak on the 7th floor
Lee Han briefly explained the situation.
Of course, excluding the story about how the contaminated ones coincidentally swarmed in.
After hearing the full explanation, Professor Mortum was impressed.
Cough, indeed! You took advantage of the situation. But its a bit strange. They should be able to use magic too, so why were ther so many contaminated ones?
Thats what Im saying. How curious.
In any case, well done, Wardanaz.
Professor Mortum praised him sincerely. He had wondered if Lee Han had threatened them into buying, but with that level of wit, he deserved praise.
Perhaps this young genius might really come up with some ingenious method.
Cough. So what have you prepared?
Well. What Ive been thinking about is a defensive item.
Lee Han brought out the magic he had newly learned from the Black Book.
A 3rd circle spell, Gonadaltes Black Magic Cloak.
Though it was black magic, it was an artifact creation spell with quite a bit of enchantment magic properties mixed in.
The completed effect was to defend and protect against black magic school magical elements like undead, poison, and curses.
This is really a stable and useful artifact.
Though Lee Han had suspected the Black Book might be trying to assassinate him, he had to acknowledge the usefulness of this magic.
While wandering around Einroguard, there were surprisingly many occasions to encounter undead, curses, and poison.
If it was a cloak that could provide stable defense against such elements
even students with little interest in black magic would likely be tempted.
Cough. Is that it?
Wardanaz. This seems too boring.
Not only Professor Mortum, but even Agdung and Ogoldos looked at Lee Han with slightly bewildered expressions.
This was too boring!
Yes? This is all there is.
Isnt it too boring? Would students want to buy this?
Artifacts dont necessarily have to be interesting, do they? I think this kind of plain and stable artifact would sell well
Lee Han, an avid reader of the Imperial Newspapers economics section, had his own confidence, but he began to waver slightly at the lukewarm reaction from his black magic upperclassmen.
Was there something he hadnt noticed?
I got it!
Ogoldos shouted as if he understood.
Wardanaz is planning to spread poison all around the school before selling this cloak. That must be it!
Indeed. Cough. Curses and undead too?
Professor Mortum finally looked somewhat convinced. Lee Han answered firmly.
I had no such thoughts.
Cough. You didnt??
Wardanaz. Then this might be a bit risky
Is it really that dangerous??
While Lee Han was pondering, Agdung came to his support.
Wait. Professor. Trial and error is a mages right. You shouldnt discourage him like this before he even tries.
Cough. Thats true. Since Wardanaz brought his own reagents, it wouldnt be bad to let him try as he wishes.
Professor Mortum somewhat agreed with Agdungs words.
There was no reason to stop him when he wanted to do it with his own materials. Mages were supposed to learn from their mistakes.
Cough. Then shall we move to the workshop and watch Wardanaz work?
Ogoldos secretly said to Lee Han.
Wardanaz. Dont be too disappointed if it doesnt sell. I also made Bones Imbued with Al Azifs Curse before and not a single one sold.
That seems like it obviously wouldnt sell.
***
Lee Han, who had started selling with the first batch at the 7th floor market, made a decision.
He would never again take economic advice from black magic school mages!
Wh-why did all of these sell??
Why would something so plain like this??
How pathetic of me to have wavered.
Lee Han looked at his upperclassmen who were exclaiming in shock beside him with contemptuous eyes.
To think they believed it wouldnt sell just because it was plain by their standards.
Surprisingly, the Gonadaltes Black Magic Cloak sold at the 7th floor market area (when selling, he marketed it as Black Magic Schools Defensive Cloak) sold out in an instant.
The defensive magics power cant be that strong, right? At this level, it wont be able to block high-level undead.
Same with poison. This has limits in blocking poison
Upperclassmen.
Lee Han opened his mouth seriously, partly to get revenge for the negative opinions he had heard earlier.
I may be lacking in magical skills compared to you upperclassmen
?
Agdung was puzzled but waited without interrupting his juniors words.
But I know a bit more about what will sell and what wont. Its not black magic that only upperclassmen appreciate for its greatness, but items that can be used comfortably and moderately that sell well.
That thats
Such a plain item like that
At Lee Hans words, Agdung and Ogoldos showed expressions of shock.
Could it be that such plain items sold better than stronger golems, stronger curses, and stronger poisons?
It was hard to believe, but seeing the reality before their eyes, that might be right
Just then, students who had come up from the lower floors began urgently delivering news.
-A toxic swamp burst on the 6th floor!!
-Toxic swamp on the 6th floor! Toxic swamp on the 6th floor! Absolutely dont just go in!
Ah.
As expected
What do you mean ah and what do you mean as expected?
Lee Han glared at his upperclassmen.
