Chapter 295

If you had shown hesitation or tiredness while solving episode 295, people would have said, ‘Let’s do it this far’, but those freshmen were so good, everyone was so excited and encouraged

.

Thanks to that, only Doin felt like dying.

Gradually, the mana is also showing the floor…

“We are ready.”

Lee Han’s words sounded scary now.

Do-in wiped the sweat from his forehead and sent a desperate gaze to Lee Han.

‘what?’

There was no way Lee Han could not notice that gaze. Lee Han was lost in thought.

Why is the opposing mage doing that?

“Sir Doin. Are you feeling unwell? You’re breaking out in a cold sweat…”

“Oh no. are you okay. are you okay.”

The swordsman held on to his staff and held back a sigh.

I couldn’t even think of what tests to take.

‘What… magic…’

Plop!

The staggering Taoist finally sat down. It was dizziness caused by exhaustion of mana.

“Are you okay?!”

Lee Han came running right away.

The reaction was quick as I had been thinking that I was sick from a while ago. Lee Han said while supporting the Taoist.

“You seem to be sick, but why didn’t you tell me in advance?”

“Ugh…”

Do-in almost said, ‘Isn’t it because you did so well without notice?’

But I couldn’t. The opponent is the Wodanaz family, isn’t it the Dalcard family?

“Oops. Even though Doin-kyung is not in good shape, he seems to be overdoing it.”

“I’m sorry, but I had no choice. I really enjoyed today.”

The guests greeted with concern and stood up warmly.

Some guests came to Lee Han’s party separately and praised them.

“It was great. There will soon be rumors that an archmage has emerged from the Dalcard family.”

“Oh no. thank you.”

“The reputation of the Wardanaz family is unquestionable. I was truly moved.”

“thank you.”

“If you have any thoughts after graduation, personally donate…”

Among them, there were people who offered personal sponsorship to Ratford.

Seeing this, Lee Han felt a bit embarrassed.

‘No, why only for Ratford?’

Of course I understood.

Such support was now given by the rich with wealth to the talented but poor.

Rich people and nobles could give debts or favors in advance to talented people who could later become outstanding wizards, and instead, the wizard could receive gold coins right away, so it was good for each other.

However, if I proposed this to a son from a noble family, it became a rude argument saying, ‘Your family doesn’t have any money?’

It was really unfortunate.

“It’s okay.”

“You don’t have to decide now. If you change your mind later, please come back.”

Ratford nodded, puzzled.

Meanwhile, an old man approached Lee Han. Lee Han could immediately recognize that the other person was not an ordinary person.

‘Two rings. one necklace. one bracelet. They’re all artifacts.’

A person like Lee Han who could keenly capture the flow of magical power was able to grasp this just by his appearance.

People who carried artifacts of that level were rare even among the wealthy in the empire.

“Did you recognize the artifact?”

The other party was interested and asked.

“yes. I apologize if I felt rude.”

“it’s okay. Wouldn’t it be natural to find out if you have the ability? I am Aldne of the Greenbell family.”

“This is Lee Han of the Wardanaz family.”

Aldne, the spider beast, had the impression of a kind old woman, but there were no superfluities in each movement, and her posture was unwaveringly upright.

“Sir Doin isn’t such a bad wizard, but what happened today surprised me.”

“I was just lucky.”

“I’m not a wizard… but there’s no word more unsuited to magic than luck. There is only skill. It was surprising that he could dispel Lord Doin’s magic so easily, but… to consume all of his mana.”

“!”

Lee Han was surprised.

‘Oops. Right.’

Come to think of it, the doin’s condition was a bit strange.

If he hadn’t been that bad, wouldn’t the signs have been revealed from the beginning?

I naturally thought of it on my own terms, so I didn’t think that the opponent’s magician might run out of magic.

‘I’m sorry.’

However, it seemed that Aldne interpreted Lee Han’s surprise in a different way.

“No surprise. It’s not something I said to rebuke you. A good wizard must have strong self-esteem. Especially if it’s an opponent who dared to test his skills. Do-in should thank you for finishing it so gracefully.”

“…No, that’s…”

Lee Han wanted to explain that it was a misunderstanding, but Aldne had already convinced himself.

No matter how entertaining the meeting was, he couldn’t forgive a wizard who challenged him with poor skills.

It was trampled on by the pride of the Wardanaz family!

“Not really.”

“If you say so, I will do it. I was surprised anyway. It’s not new that magicians from Einrogard are outstanding, but it’s the first time I’ve seen a first year student excel like this. Even if it’s the Wodanaj family.”

“thank you.”

“Since we are students, we will stay in Granden City during vacation. If you ever need help, you can always visit the Greenbell family. The doors of the mansion are always open to those of ability.”

“!”

Lee Han was surprised again.

It seemed that he understood the surprise and thought of it in a different way.

“Shall we try to match? Perhaps you are thinking of something you need help with right now?”

“No… it’s not.”

“Sometimes there are things that are difficult to solve even with the power of the great noble family, or are reluctant to solve in the name of the great noble family. There are definitely times like that. Then…”

After bowing Aldneh, he withdrew from his seat.

Asan, who came back after being praised by his brother and sister, said in an excited voice.

“Wardanaz! did you hear I got a compliment! I got a compliment!”

“Asan… I don’t think there is a need to attach too much meaning to a single compliment.”

Lee Han looked at his friend pitifully.

It would be comfortable if I just ignored it, but why did I do that?

“okay. What compliment did you hear?”

Lee Han asked a question out of etiquette because his friend liked him that much.

Asan said with a flushed face.

“He told me that I did well, that I made a good friend, and that I should work hard so that I could follow that friend in the future.”

“?”

“??”

Lee Han and Ratford tilted their heads.

Ratford whispered softly so Asan couldn’t hear.

“Mrs. Wardanaz. I don’t know the nobles, but is that a compliment among the nobles?”

“no. That’s not a compliment. Ratford.”

Whether the two of them did it or not, Asan was happy. Lee Han said sadly.

“Asan. If you’re bored during vacation, come to the Wardanaz family mansion. no. Come hang out often, even if you’re not bored.”

“thanks?”

Asan tilted his head as if he felt something incongruent and replied that he knew.

“More than that, Wodanaz. You helped me like this, but I can’t just let it go. Do you need anything? tell me if there is I will repay you in the name of the Dalcard family.”

Lee Han, who was about to say it was okay, hesitated.

Come to think of it, there was one thing I needed.

“I needed something.”

“oh. what?”

“Pay back the silver coin I borrowed.”

“…Oh no. that’s normal What else?”

“I don’t have anything in mind.”

Asan was perplexed.

Isn’t it natural to pay back borrowed silver coins?

“Couldn’t you have come directly for that?”

“of course. I just came to see a friend.”

“yes? Is that so…?” Searᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Asan nodded his head to understand, but for some reason he was hesitant.

The Meikin family’s mansion located in Granden City reminded me of a busy and prosperous alchemist’s workshop rather than an antique aristocratic mansion.

Practical design without unnecessary decoration Workers and alchemists who come and go through the door of the mansion without rest The scent of various herbs and potions wafting from inside the mansion… “The smell of

herbs is amazing.”

“okay. Money smells great.”

“yes? It smells like herbs.”

“ah. sorry. I was thinking of something else.”

Lee Han apologized to Ratford.

With so many workers sending in materials and alchemists coming in and out, I could see why the Meikin family was so wealthy.

Besides, this is not the main house, but a villa, isn’t it?

“I’ll have to get along with Yoner from now on.”

“Aren’t you still friends?”

Lee Han approached the front door of the mansion.

The gatekeepers at the front gate were so busy that they couldn’t even see Lee Han properly and shouted,

“Wait in line! Five wagons are now inside! No matter how hard you try to push in, you have to wait!”

“hmm. In fact, we…”

“No! No matter which guild or workshop, you have to wait in line! These are the rules! If you don’t follow the rules, what will happen to the people waiting here!”

“It certainly is.”

Lee Han was persuaded by the gatekeeper.

Wagons and workers waiting for a long time in front of the front gate.

They were waiting for them to come from various places, including the guild workshop.

Of course, Lee Han didn’t come for work, he came to see a friend, but that wasn’t a reason to cut in line.

“Let’s go and wait.”

“Uh… I think we can just go through separately…”

“Ratford. What will the people waiting behind you think? It could cause harm to the Yoner family, so let’s wait.”

Ratford tilted his head and followed Lee Han.

Is it really like this to visit an aristocratic mansion?

‘I don’t think so…’

“What are you two here for?”

The alchemist who was standing first spoke to the two.

The sight of him hanging all sorts of potions and reagents from his long robe was more telling about himself than writing < I am an alchemist >.

“I came to see the Maykin family.”

“I guess so. I am also waiting for that.”

The alchemist smiled friendly when he found a colleague with the same purpose.

According to the alchemist who stood first, there were two types of people who came to the Meikin family mansion.

One is those who officially signed a contract with the Meikin family and came to deliver the promised goods.

And the other is those who are in the eyes of the Meikin family and want to receive sponsorship or contracts.

The Maykin family was a staunch supporter. Whether it was a guild or a workshop, if they caught one’s eye, they could work with unconventional gold coins.

That’s why so many people are waiting with the herbs, reagents, or homemade alchemy potions they have gathered.

“indeed.”

“But you two… do you need to wait here?”

The alchemist was puzzled by the costumes of Lee Han and Ratford.

After living in a city for a long time, you can guess a person’s status just by looking at their clothes.

The two looked like they came from aristocratic families.

“If you’re sorry, you’ll have to wait.”

“You are right. You said something useless.”

The alchemist nodded.

Even if you come from an aristocratic family, if you have regrets, you have to wait.

Of course, it wasn’t that I didn’t mind thinking, ‘If you’re from an aristocratic family, you can send a servant to make an appointment’, but I thought there must be some circumstances and passed it on.

The person who brought the suspicious eggs in the cage in front of them entered, followed by the employee of the upper tier who had obtained reagents from the snowy mountain, and finally the turn came.

“Come this way! Come this way! For what purpose have you come!”

“We are alchemists. I’m here to evaluate the potion you made.”

“All right! Please go to the West Building! Three new alchemists in the West Building! Three alchemists!”
