Chapter 537

Chapter 537

It wasn’t the ability he wanted, but after spending nearly a year at Ein Lorgard, Lee Han gained the ability to read the headmaster’s thoughts to some extent.

It was like that even now.

Seeing the mercenaries training to get out of the warehouse gave me a strangely specific idea of what was going to happen at the end of the year. The skeleton headmaster suddenly made a fuss about an attack from the outside, telling him to be careful of outsiders, and strangely

, the mercenaries, who were used to dealing with wizards, rushed in…

Isn’t it a trap?’

The headmaster of the skeleton would have been very unfair if he heard it, but this was actually close to karma.

Just as the shepherd boy lost trust due to repeated pranks, the skeleton headmaster has already lost trust.

Lee Han checked the appearance of the mercenaries through the gap in the wall of the warehouse.

It was really absurd to see the mercenaries, who had the impression of killing a few people as easily as having lunch, being scared by the Death Knight and talking among themselves ‘how to deal with the wizard’.

‘Now that I’ve remembered the face, I’ll have to tell the others to be careful.’

After completing the final exam or checking the mercenaries, Lee Han turned around.

I had to go back as quickly as possible to avoid arousing suspicion.

“…?”

Returning to the original cafe, Lee Han was taken aback.

There was much more violent applause than when Ipadur had sung one song earlier.

‘what? Did Ein Lorgard fail?’

In Lee Han’s imagination, it would have been difficult to applaud this much if Ein Lorgard had not perished.

In the midst of the noise, Han Lee grabbed the elf merchant next to him as calmly as possible and asked.

“What happened?”

The elf couldn’t answer. I was sobbing because I couldn’t get out of the great emotion.

“Please sing one more song!”

“One more song! Just one song!”

“I guess I will have to go soon. More than that, where is this wordanaz?”

Lee Han raised his hand at the headmaster’s words.

“Here it is.”

“Why are you there?”

“Did people push me?”

“I’m pushed because I’m pushed? Did you go to Einrogard or to a pasture where sheep grazing leisurely?”

The skeleton headmaster gave Lee Han a scolding and gestured.

People who were in awe were trying to stretch out their hands with ecstatic expressions at the gesture, but were greatly pushed away by the intangible power.

“let’s go. You’re doing all sorts of things because of the disciples who insist on doing useless magic.”

“Oh, it was truly touching.”

Lee Han said wittily.

I couldn’t hear the headmaster’s song, but looking at the reactions around me, it seemed like a very touching song.

Ipadur vehemently agreed. The old bard’s eyes were moist.

“you’re right…! Isn’t this kind of song the reason this old poet is alive?”

‘No, what did you call it?’

Lee Han suspected that the headmaster threatened to summon the Death Knights to be impressed.

“Stop it. Not a very pleasant compliment.”

“How on earth did you learn such a wonderful song?”

“When I was a prince, I learned to make people in the palace happy. It was a long time ago.”

Ifadur was moved by the heartbreaking story.

However, Lee Han was a little perplexed.

‘I can’t imagine.’

If I told him about the skeleton headmaster’s childhood, it would only be embarrassing.

It’s as if I’m embarrassed to hear something like ‘Professor Voladi was a very nice and good kid in his childhood’.

“let’s go. There are places I need to stop by before closing.”

“yes? Where are you?”

“I will have to get an instrument. To practice music magic.”

The central district of Granden City was a quiet space where urban aristocrats and wealthy people usually haunted.

Among the many quaint shops located there was < Infalenin's Trio >.

“ah. I’ve heard the name. He is an excellent instrumentalist.”

“Perhaps it is. Even when I sang about artifacts in the past, my skills were good.”

‘Why triplet?’

Lee Han was puzzled and followed the two into the store.

The store was like a museum of musical instruments.

A variety of musical instruments were on display, from familiar instruments that Lee Han knew by name to instruments with unusual shapes that he had never seen before.

A small chilhyeongeum sound came from somewhere and then stopped.

And soon the shop owner, Infalenin, appeared.

‘ah.’

Lee Han could understand why the store was called Samjoongju. Inphalenin was an Asura, a three-headed six-bill.

“Three… three… oh my God. The two people I admire the most are in my shop…!”

“Seriously. Leave your arms alone.”

Headmaster Skeleton hurriedly stopped the Infalenins, fearing that the six arms would swing at random and destroy even the instruments.

It was impossible to see this well-groomed, maroon-colored space littered with the remains of broken instruments.

“What the hell… do you need help making artifacts? But I… I… that…”

“I didn’t come to ask for an artifact.”

At the headmaster’s words, Infalenin’s face brightened.

“Fortunately, the! I didn’t have the confidence to meet that mage’s request…!”

“……”

For some reason, Lee Han looked at the skeleton headmaster at the behavior of the Burmo wizard, who seemed to know.

Headmaster Skeleton sighed as if he was truly sorry.

“…I’m sorry. That bird… you won’t have anything to do with him, so don’t worry. If you ask me to do something in the future, I will make sure to keep my distance.”

“no. It’s an honor to have entrusted it to me, but it’s because I was lacking.”

“I came today to buy an instrument. Here is a disciple trying to play a piece… Oh. Are there any instruments you can handle?”

Skeleton Principal asked without expecting much.

Of course there wouldn’t be any, so I was thinking of choosing the easiest instrument.

Like a pan flute or kalimba…

“I know how to play the violin.”

“violin?”

The headmaster was surprised by the unexpected answer.

Music was included in the culture of the nobles, but it was only for appreciation, not performance.

It was not suitable for lazy nobles as it required bloody effort to play at a usable level.

But the boy of the Wodanaz family knows how to play the violin.

“I bet the Wardanaz family doesn’t even hold concerts well, right? You seem to really like music.”

“No…”

Lee Han was taken aback when he suddenly became a music lover after saying the instrument he had learned without much thought.

“I don’t really like music that much.”

“okay. okay. You will.”

“……”

Headmaster Skeleton treated Lee Han’s words like rolling stones and then started discussing instruments with Ipadur.

Lee Han glared at the skeleton headmaster.

“How about this?”

“The trees are too wild. Instruments like this damage the player’s reputation.”

“You are right. This back plate is so unique. It sounds good, but it’s a bad habit.”

“You are wonderful. ah. This is fine. I used the brief.”

“The brief? I think the elements are too lopsided… I’ll let you pick for now. You will know once you turn it on.”

The excited Infalenin also came running.

“From my point of view, I would like to know what this would be like if that student wrote it. I waited a month in the cold shard mountain range to make this bow stand…” Lee

Han, who was watching the three of them excitedly, suddenly became curious and asked.

“By the way, Headmaster. Who is buying the instrument for? What am I supposed to pay…?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. If others hear it, they will misunderstand.”

Headmaster Skeleton reacted faster than usual, probably because he had a listening ear next to him.

“Of course I will pay with my gold coins. It is an item necessary for magic research.”

“uh? Can I still?”

“okay. It’s a pity, but I can’t help it. Remember it well. If you save money on magic research for no reason, it will cost more money later.”

‘Is this why imperial officials hate Einrogard?’

There was some truth in what the Headmaster Skeleton said.

If you use equipment with cheap materials just to save gold coins, the result could be wrong.

Then, in the end, you have to experiment again, and the cost is the same…

To avoid such a thing, it was better to be determined and prepared as much as possible from the beginning.

Of course, even if he said such a thing, it was not very convincing to the officials in charge of the empire’s finances.

No matter how rationally you try to think about it, if you get a report like ‘I burned half a ton of pure gold to explore magic haha, but it’s still incomplete.

“thank you. I will write well.”

“okay. Don’t go and sell it.”

“…….”

“Why can’t you answer right away?”

“I was worried for a second that someone might steal it.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll put a spell on it, so if someone steals it, I’ll go after it and find it.”

‘Chit.’

Lee Han clicked his tongue inwardly at the thorough skeleton headmaster’s remarks.

Whatever the excuse, selling seemed impossible.

“I’d better choose one of these three…”

“I think so too.”

After a long discussion, the options were narrowed down to three.

One was a product made by cutting off a mature arm neck, and it was a stable violin that Inpalenin had seen only the most famous violins of the Empire and combined their strengths.

The other was an item using a still young brief. The structure of the body and fingerboard is quite adventurous, so it is less stable, but it has a unique taste, so it was good to grow with young players.

And the last one was not a violin made by Inpalenin, but a violin bought.

The former performer died of an emotional problem. The former performer died in an unfortunate accident while performing, and the former performer died in a fire.

“I think the first one will be okay…”

“I think so too. Maybe the students don’t have much experience…”

Of course, Lee Han also wanted to choose the first option, but the skeleton headmaster made a firm choice.

“Third would be nice.”

“Why?”

To Lee Han’s question, Headmaster Skeleton replied as if it were absurd.

“Can’t you feel that magical power? It’s rare for a natural object to have that level of magical power.”

“No…”

I came to pick out an instrument. Did you come to pick out something magical?

Of course, Lee Han knew that he could feel magic from the third violin.

That’s because it’s so ugly and violent.

All of the owners met a tragic fate, but it was even more strange if the mana felt was pure and peaceful.

“If you think of music magic, of course you should choose something with high magic power.”

“But it’s an ominous thing, isn’t it?”

“Look at your arm.”

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

Lee Han looked at his arm at the headmaster’s words.

Cursed artifacts that he usually wore fluttered around.

“The one who is wearing a lot of cursed artifacts, what… give me this.”

“Are you really okay? This isn’t something for sale…”

“Then it’ll be cheaper!”

The weekend was almost over when we finished all our schedules.

Lee Han sighed as he rode the carriage through the gates of Ein Rogard.

When the golden weekend ended like this, even Lee Han felt bitter.

“Oh.”

Headmaster Skeleton looked ahead and inadvertently opened his mouth, and Lee Han also averted his gaze.

Professor Voladi was waiting with an expressionless face.

“Professor, why are you doing that?”

“Oops… Damn it. I forgot. Originally, on the weekend, Professor Bagreg said he had something to teach you.”

“Why on the weekend?”

“On weekdays, the time must have been full because of the other professors.”

“…?”

Lee Han tilted his head at the unknown sense of incongruity felt in the conversation.

The sharing of information by professors was so natural.

what?

“Professor Bagleg! Sorry to shake up your schedule, but there was a reason.”

Headmaster Skeleton got off the wagon and approached Professor Voladi. Lee Han, who was tied up while helping and lowering Ipadur from behind, was startled by the words that followed.

“He begged me to go out with him because he was interested in music magic. So I couldn’t help it. Then I’m done.”

The skeleton headmaster returned to his skeleton form and then disappeared with a bang.

When Lee Han made eye contact with the expressionless Professor Boladi, he inadvertently looked at Ipadur.

‘Hmm. I’m going to overdo it.’

Yihan’s magic was too lacking to blame Ipadur and disappear.
