Chapter 802

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

An existence more terrifying than the Skeleton Principals subordinate was definitely a subordinate of the Skeleton Principal who didnt know the Principals position.

Which meant

That who exactly is Lord Gonadaltes?

Lee Han asked, hoping for the slim possibility that there might be someone with the same name in the Empire.

He is an Archmage who has achieved enlightenment, of noble royal bloodline, born with the fate of the great wheel of reincarnation! Dont tell me youre asking because you really dont know?

Where is Lord Intarendals from?

I am from the Kingdom of Margada.

The Kingdom of Margada didnt even exist in the current Empire. Lee Han felt dizzy at the kingdom name that he thought hed only heard of from the Three Kingdoms period.

This confirmed the other persons identity.

Not a subordinate of the Skeleton Principal, but a subordinate of the Insane Doppelganger.

Is Einroguards defense really okay like this?

Of course, being so vast, they couldnt completely prevent intrusions, but shouldnt they be more careful when theres an insane monster in the territory?

To think a subordinate of an insane monster would enter so openly

How exactly did you get in?

What do you mean?

Einroguard territory is protected by powerful magic. It should be even more so these days.

Lee Han was scared and in pain, but he tried his best to extract even one more piece of information from the enemy.

That way he could report to the Death Knights to strengthen the defenses.

Naturally, I entered with permission.

Intarendals spoke with a noble smile. He seemed to think Lee Han was joking.

Permission?

Yes. Are you perhaps curious about the permit?

I would be grateful if you could show it to me.

Lee Han barely held onto his sanity and made the request.

Surprisingly, the permit Intarendals presented was real.

According to the qualifications proven by the seal and blood drop of the Dalcard Family, entry to Einroguard is permitted for the following individual. If the promised amount of gold is not spent, a curse will

Einroguards rules were not lax.

First, to visit during Club Week, one had to clearly prove their identity.

For noble families, the ring seal and blood drop were the means of proof.

Since both couldnt be easily forged, they were reliable for identity verification.

Now, after such identity verification, one would enter Einroguard promising I will definitely invest or sponsor this much

??????

Lee Han tilted his head in confusion.

The Dalcard Family should be Asans family.

Asan, a friend from the same Blue Dragon Tower.

Why would a great noble family that had served as the Empires treasurer for generations be cooperating with such an insane doppelganger?

Asan dont tell me you were a traitor!

While he was trembling with absurd feelings of betrayal, Intarendals cast a worried look.

The noble boy before him seemed to be in poor health. He had been staggering with a pale face continuously.

Are you alright?

Im fine. That I have a question, are you affiliated with the Dalcard Family? I dont think Ive ever heard of it.

Ah.

Intarendals smiled cultured.

Only then did he realize why the boy was confused.

I am not currently affiliated with the Dalcard Family. Originally, when I was alive, the family name wasnt even Dalcard, and back then the naming conventions werent like this either.

Surprisingly, the person before him was a distant ancestor of the Dalcard Family.

So ancient that even his name no longer remained.

Lee Han was dumbfounded seeing the ancient-style seal ring and blood drop the other person showed.

And the Dalcard Family would be even more absurd.

Someone was impersonating their family, and it turned out to be a resurrected ancestor.

This is an absurd nightmare.

I briefly resurrected and visited Einroguard under Lord Gonadaltes orders. Does this explain things a bit now?

Intarendals, who had been Gonadaltes chief attendant, briefly defied death and resurrected under his masters command.

Then he gathered his old seal ring and wealth to visit Einroguard. Fortunately, there was quite a bit of gold that descendants had failed to collect and had been lost.

Later Ill have to ask later. I cant ask now.

Lee Han was so shocked that even after hearing about the gold, he couldnt ask about its burial location.

I think I understand a little. That, why are you looking for the boy named Lee Han of Wardanaz Family?

That reason is related to my mission, so I cannot tell you. Do you happen to have any ideas?

Ah! I just remembered. I think I heard hes a 6th year, so perhaps you should look among the 6th years.

Indeed. Thank you.

Intarendals turned to bow elegantly, but the boy had already quickly disappeared.

What an impatient boy!

***

Puheu! Where are you going?

As Lee Han quickly ran to escape the 7th floor village area, Falkrious spotted and caught him.

Senior, have you perhaps been bribed!

Huh? What bribe?

Never mind then. Let go of this. Something urgent has come up.

What are you talking about? What could be more urgent than extorting gold coins from outsiders?

The pot-bellied senior from the Cooking Club couldnt understand what Lee Han was saying.

After preparing so hard, where was he going?

Puheu You. Youre scared right now. Right?

I am scared, but

Even a genius like you gets scared. But everyone does. I did too.

Falkrious spoke with eyes wet with nostalgia.

He remembered the moment he first faced Club Week as a 2nd year.

Back then it was really hectic and frightening. Even when customers asked kindly, it sounded like they were disparaging his magic.

-Is this magic pot useful?

-D-did you just insult my pot?!

Hmm. Memories.

Falkrious sent another apology to the customer who had to be dunked head-first into the cauldron because of him, and looked at his junior with encouraging eyes.

But Wardanaz! Its something everyone must overcome. And youll be able to overcome it better than anyone. If you cant overcome it, who else could?

Thats not what Im scared about, Senior.

I said theres nothing 100% certain, right? Puheu. But with you, it might be close to 100%. Even at the Empires magic schools, geniuses like you are really rare.

The pot-bellied senior mercilessly patted Lee Hans back while encouraging him.

Though he didnt usually praise him to avoid making his junior arrogant, Lee Hans skills were sufficient to show off in front of Einroguards upperclassmen.

And most importantly, there are customers who want to see you. Follow me. Ill put gold coins in your hands!

Its not a customer in old-fashioned clothes, is it?

Falkrious laughed heartily without understanding and dragged Lee Han along.

In the Cooking Clubs dining hall, several outside customers had already arrived and were looking around with interest.

Look, this kitchen knife will make even the clumsiest owner cut through the gaps between bone and flesh, not the bone and flesh itself. Think about this knife being introduced to the Butchers Guild!

Hmm. But our guilds craftsmen might lose competitiveness because of this knife.

Uh I hadnt thought of that. How about reducing the guild artisans?

Do you call that nonsense words?

People from the Bakery Guild and Butcher Guild each added their comments about the magic the Soup Club members were researching.

Then they saw Lee Han and Falkrious and shouted.

Falkrious!

Hello, Mr. Goladek!

Much better than when you shoved me into that cauldron two years ago!

Puhuh. Im sorry!

No. Thanks to your magic, I was able to break the noses of those annoying Confectionery Guild bastards.

Goladek from the Bakery Guild praised Falkrious over and over again.

Without this Einroguard mage, the Bakery Guild would have been the loser in the Capital Sugar War!

Is this mage by any chance that junior?

Thats right, Mr. Goladek.

Lee Han shook off his slight nervousness and looked around. Fortunately, Intarendals was nowhere to be seen.

Hello. I am

Youre Lee Han of Wardanaz Family, right?

I heard youre taking all schools of magic. Is that true?

I heard youre already being recognized by external mages? Is it true that you received recognition from Lady Yoanen of Meikin Family?

Master Puyo has mentioned your name before. I was surprised.

I heard youre already discussing research with 5th year seniors. Did you really complete 5th circle magic?

??????

Lee Han was flustered by the guests who introduced him before he could even introduce himself.

What the hell is this?

How?

Puhuh. Wardanaz. The people who visit here arent fools! They investigate very diligently and keenly.

Just because they had a lot of wealth in the Empire didnt mean there were only people who wasted gold coins carelessly.

At least the people gathered here were those who wanted to invest their gold coins in the best talent.

Goladek spoke with a proud expression.

Of course, Einroguard may be a secretive sanctuary of magic, but we artisans also have ears throughout the Empire. I dare say theres probably not a single piece of information weve missed. Isnt that right?

Lee Han recalled the numerous powerful enemies he had fought against this year and last year.

Then he quickly smiled and said.

Theres really no hiding it. You havent missed anything!

Right? Haha.

I want to sponsor you.

Me too!

Lee Han hesitated at the guests proposals.

I havent even mentioned my research yet?

Whats so important about research. What matters is the person.

No!

A senior next to him trembled while holding a ladle.

They had criticized his masterpiece, Bowls that let you endure while eating even if they contain poisonous food, for lacking marketability!

This is why non-mages! They dont know anything!

Falkrious looked proud of his juniors success.

Puhuh. Congratulations, Wardanaz. Itll end successfully. Of course, dont be too arrogant! If you act selfishly like Professor Verdus, even gentle sponsors might get angry.

At Falkriouss words, the guests spoke with serious expressions.

What kind of nonsense are you talking about?

Dont even mention that ominous name!

What exactly do I need to do?

Lee Han asked just to be sure.

Free gold coins were nice, but originally theres no such thing as free in this world, right?

Falkrious waved his cauldron-lid-sized hand as if telling him not to worry and explained.

As I said, as long as you dont act selfishly like that certain professor, investors and sponsors wont get angry either. Show them what youre researching, and listen to requests from investors or sponsors.

Requests?

Research direction or improvement plans, sometimes requests to see if their children have magical talent come in too.

It doesnt seem too difficult.

An arrogant and picky mage might have been furious at such pride-hurting proposals, but Lee Han could even visit sponsor mansions and hold flashy magical birthday celebration parties if they paid gold coins.

He didnt know exactly what Professor Verdus had done, but

I wouldnt go that far, would I?

Twenty Empire gold coins.

Then Ill offer thirty.

Sixty

While the sponsors were discussing their respective amounts, someone asked Falkrious.

Is this the right place where Lee Han of Wardanaz Family is?

Thats correct.

Indeed. Who are those people?

People gathered for sponsorship.

Its fine to tell them all to go back since theyre not needed.

Excuse me?

Falkrious was confused, wondering what the other person was talking about.

Intarendals took out a huge chest filled with gold coins and placed it down with a thud.

My sponsorship alone is sufficient for Lee Han of Wardanaz Family. The people gathered here should go help other mages.
