This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Diret, who had been about to have the spirit draw a picture, suddenly remembered something.By the way, junior.
Yes.
Didnt you say you negotiated with Professor Verdus last time and got a key?
Since were breaking in anyway, its better this way, isnt it?
Senior. I was joking.
Who would think thats a joke!
Diret got angry at his juniors appearance of being embarrassed with a serious face.
Lee Han explained again.
I did receive keys to the underground warehouse, but theyre only for warehouses that store materials and reagents. To access the professors workshop, we still have to break these golems.
I see.
Diret nodded, but felt a lingering doubt in his heart that wouldnt disappear.
Did his juniors key really not fit the Underground 1st Floor Workshop passage?
***
The group arrived in front of Professor Verdus workshop located on Basement Level 1.
Jowrin excitedly shouted.
Professor Bagrek! Jowrin commands you to smash that door too!
Your Majesty. We cannot smash that door.
Professor Boladi shook his head and explained.
Placing defense golems on Basement Level 1 was different from entering the workshop located on Basement Level 1.
The former had some gaps, but the latter was something Professor Verdus stubbornly refused to leave any openings for.
If they carelessly touched it, they might trigger alarms throughout the entire tower.
This is where Yukveltire will shine. Your Majesty.
Diret called for Yukveltire.
Since she was Professor Verdus disciple and knew she was here, she would surely explain in detail about the magic that was cast.
If they could just figure out what magic was cast, with Professor Bagrek here too, they could surely break through.
Yukveltire. What magic is cast here?
I dont know either.
What?
While Diret was bewildered, Yukveltire took out a workshop key she had secretly copied without Professor Verdus knowing.
Then she opened the door to the Underground 1st Floor Workshop. Everyone in the group (including Jowrin) was speechless.
No, when and how did you get that?
Lee Han asked in surprise.
Of course, the defense systems of Basement Level 1 and the outer warehouses were at a brutal level, but by Professor Verdus standards, that was just the beginning.
He would never easily give up something like a workshop key that stored his truly important works.
If it were discovered, he would have immediately changed all the workshops defensive magic.
I happened to get it 3 years ago.
How did you avoid getting caught all this time??
Simple. I never used it once.
Lee Han was shocked again.
It was surprising that Yukveltire hadnt used that key once in 3 years, but it was even more surprising that she was using it now.
Its not my place to say this, but are you sure its okay to use it?
Im recommending an artifact befitting a talented junior. This is a very rational action.
Ah, yes.
Jowrin made a gesture behind Yukveltire, raising both front paws beside her head like horns. Lee Han could immediately understand what she meant.
-Isnt she angry?
Lets just say no for now
Lee Han felt slightly worried that he might be taking too much advantage of his senior who had lost her reason to anger.
Professor. What do you think
He was about to ask Professor Boladi, but the professor wasnt visible beside him.
When he looked up, Professor Boladi was already inside the workshop looking for magic drafting tools.
Professor
?
Its nothing.
Lee Han went inside.
Just as a cunning rabbit digs three burrows, Professor Verdus also had multiple workshops.
Outstanding artists have multiple workshops and engage in creative activities in each, but Lee Han thought Professor Verdus had multiple workshops to minimize damage when one was robbed.
In that regard, the current Underground 1st Floor Workshop was quite a decent place.
The quality of the works placed here was much higher than the workshop Professor Verdus revealed when working with students.
It seemed to be where Professor Verdus stored artifacts he delivered to others or made according to his own taste.
Normally, for educational purposes, shouldnt he show students things like this?
Found it. Here it is.
Yukveltire called Lee Han.
On the workbench, he could see an artifact box labeled Bibbles Drafting Tool.
Isnt this not something the professor made, but an artifact the professor still uses?
?
Yukveltire looked at her junior as if to say so what?
Professor Boladi also looked at his disciple with eyes that said what does that matter?
Diret placed his hand on his juniors shoulder.
I understand your feelings.
Thank you, senior.
Lee Han felt grateful that there was at least one normal person.
Its nothing. Ill use it well
Wait.
Yukveltire stopped Lee Han and explained.
All the items on this Basement Level 1 would immediately activate magic throughout the entire tower the moment anyone other than Professor Verdus touched them.
Lee Han thought this was nonsense and said.
If youre going to cast magic on the door, fine, but you cast such complex magic on each individual item?
To make the magic of the entire tower activate not just from dispelling or destroying, but from simply touching, would require more than ordinary time and effort.
Youd have to pour enormous effort into casting magic on each individual item.
Professor Verdus wasnt an idle person, so how could such a thing be possible
Yukveltire answered immediately.
Yes.
Lee Han felt anew the extraordinariness of Professor Verdus.
He had been stealing materials, reagents, and sometimes even airships under construction, so he didnt know, but the items Professor Verdus was truly determined to protect couldnt be easily taken.
And Im trying to steal such a persons favorite item.
After thinking for about 1 second, Lee Han steeled his resolve again.
Even if he got caught later, stealing first was the right thing to do. Especially if the opponent was Professor Verdus.
Well have to escape immediately the moment we grab the item.
Thats right.
We could probably grab one or two more. Check it out.
Do you perhaps also have something youre angry about with Professor Verdus never mind.
Lee Han was almost overwhelmed by Professor Boladis appearance of so thoroughly pursuing profit.
I should take a closer look for now.
Lee Han left the drafting machine alone and looked around the workshop again.
Amulet of Aging Resistance
Amazing!
Lee Han looked at the amulet hanging on the wall and admired it.
He wasnt admiring it simply because o its appearance, craftsmanship, or the sparkle of its gems, but because of the sophistication of the magic embedded within.
Just as small gears connect to form a massive movement, small magics were connected to drive away the users aging and bring forth youth.
Theres an explanation written below too.
Even if it was hard to steal due to the defensive magic, he wanted to read what Professor Verdus had written.
Commissioned by the Penguerin Family
Delivery deadline 5 years 6 years 7 years late
Just deliver it already!
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
With this level of completion, it seemed like he could just give it to them, yet hed been holding onto it for 7 years.
It would be strange if the Penguerin family hadnt sent assassins.
No. I just dont know about it, but they might have sent some
Looking more closely, the other works were similar.
They were all excellent and beautiful, with phrases like Delivery deadline several years late written below them.
If youre late one more time, Ill really send you to hell Osyu
If youre late one more time, Ill really make you lecture in the deep punishment room Osyu
If youre late one more time, Ill really burn down your workshop and hang you at the castle gate Osyu
If youre late one more time
What the hell is wrong with you? Please just do your work on time! Osyu
Lee Han discovered the thickly stacked curse letters and shook his head.
It wasnt easy to feel sorry for the Skeleton Principal, but Professor Verdus was accomplishing that difficult task.
Star Guide, Pasellet Kraer, For Third Year Exam
Lee Han was startled by the massive brass telescope and the name written below it.
To think the exam for the lecture he was taking would be here! Well, since Professor Verdus was an excellent artifact craftsman, it was natural for other professors to commission exam artifacts from him.
When Lee Han stopped walking and peered at the brass telescope, the others also gathered around, wondering what was happening.
What is it?
Junior. What are you looking at?
Jowrin has a bigger and more magnificent telescope than this. His Majesty has it now, but if Lee Han needs it
That really woke me up.
Lee Han pressed Jowrins mouth shut from above and below, then said.
I was surprised to see an artifact used for an exam Ill be taking.
I see.
Ah.
Take it.
?
Lee Han hesitated, feeling like there was one strange answer mixed in among the responses just given.
Surprisingly, it was Professor Boladi who had spoken.
Actually, thinking about it, its not surprising.
Professor. This is for another professors exam.
Securing it first is also part of a students ability.
Yukveltire agreed with Professor Boladis words.
Its also something Professor Verdus should have protected well.
While Lee Han was at a loss for words, Diret whispered from beside him.
Junior.
Yes. I also think taking this would be a bit
Just take it. You need to reduce your exams by even one.

Iaktus: Professor Verduss workshop was robbed! Professor Verduss workshop was robbed!! Professor Verduss workshop was robbed!!!
Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Just write one line. Why are you making such a fuss. Its not the first time this has happened.
Iaktus: You must have read it wrong. The workshop was robbed, not the storage! And it was the basement level 1 workshop!
Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Professor Verduss workshop was robbed!!!!
Einroguards whispers kept carving only Professor Verduss workshop was robbed as if possessed by madness.
It was that shocking an event.
The basement level 1 workshop was robbed, not the storage or the first floor workshop?
Bakwantalana: Professor Verdus had many enemies. Hes paying the natural price.
Iaktus: No. You cant simply evaluate it like that. Professor Verdus always had many enemies, but his personal workshop had never been completely robbed before.
Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Could it be related to the dragon that came this time? With a dragons power
Iaktus: No way. Shes royalty. A proper member of the Imperial Family who didnt even enroll in Einroguard. Would such royalty commit theft?
Bakwantalana: Just because you enroll in Einroguard doesnt mean royalty becomes improper.
Iaktus: What are you saying. If you enroll in Einroguard, youre just an Einroguard student.
Beaver-Penguin-Fox: I agree. I saw a royal junior once before, and he was gobbling bread more desperately than a back-alley beggar. Once you enter Einroguard, theres no such thing as royalty or whatever.
Lee Han looked around cautiously before joining in.
Gonadaltes: How did you find out that Professor Verduss workshop was robbed? Isnt it a false rumor?
Iaktus: No. Professor Kraer is trying to kill Professor Verdus right now.
Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Didnt someone say it was stolen and then secretly take it themselves?
Iaktus: Surely a fellow professor wouldnt take anothers belongings Hmm It could be possible.
Gonadaltes: It certainly could be.
Bakwantalana: I dont think thats the case though.
Gonadaltes: More importantly, the Principal hasnt been seen lately. Does anyone know why?
Lee Han casually asked something he was curious about. Immediately, curses flew back.
Iaktus: Everyones happy that hes not around, so why the hell are you asking for the reason?
Beaver-Penguin-Fox: If he comes back starting tomorrow because you asked, will you take responsibility?
