The White Tiger Tower students and the Black Turtle Tower students had one thing in common.
Whether he hated Lee Han or was wary of it, the point was that he recognized at least one of Lee Han’s magical abilities.
Giselle thought to herself.
‘If Wodanaj says that, he must be a really great wizard.’
“It is an honor to meet you like this.”
The students at the White Tiger Tower greeted me like a knight.
Of course, on the thorn cushionWaldororn, who was in a seated mood, did not feel better when he was greeted like that.
Rather, it was suffocating.
‘Are you knights!?’
It was even more burdensome when the freshmen, who seemed to come from a knight’s family, greeted politely like that.
If you find out the truth later, you might even wield a sword…
“Would you like to go with me?”
The other top students hesitated at Lee Han’s suggestion.
The students of the Black Turtle Tower nodded in thought, but the students of the White Tiger Tower did not.
Because there was no money!
“ah. I have no money.”
Lee Han said as if he knew. While the students at the White Tiger Tower were a little furious, Lee Han continued.
“I will lend you.”
“What?”
“I will lend you. Of course, some interest…”
“Wordanaz…”
Angro looked at Lee Han in disbelief.
It was a surprisingly generous offer considering the fact that Vendre, the Tower of the Black Turtle, flirted with a few silver coins earlier.
why?
Lee Han became very burdened by the sight of Anggo looking at him with twinkling eyes.
“Did I say it was free? I think you said that you loaned me with interest?”
“heard. Wodanaz. …Thank you.”
‘Isn’t this kid crazy?’
Anggo’s reaction was strange to Lee Han, who did not know what was going on between the students from the White Tiger Tower and the Black Turtle Tower before arriving.
Why are you impressed by the fact that you borrow money at interest?
“Yeah, yes. I’m glad you’re happy.”
Angro reached out his hand to shake hands. Lee Han stepped back and widened the distance. Angro lowered his hand with a shy expression.
“Wordanaj… Seeing you makes me feel ashamed to show off with a few silver coins.”
‘Why is this child doing this again?’
When the Black Turtle Top student spoke to him with a persuasive expression, Lee Han became even more absurd.
What happened before you came?
“I didn’t know what the noble families were talking about, but that’s what they were talking about.”
“What did you talk about before you came?”
“I didn’t believe in that, but to see with my own two eyes.”
“What did you talk about before you came?”
“I have to admit…”
“Are you right? Can you just tell me?”
“Why, why? Wodanaz?”
After a while.
‘no. I should have paid more interest.’
After hearing and understanding the detailed explanation of the situation, Lee Han was deeply saddened.
Did such a thing happen!
Even if they received more interest, the White Tiger Tower guys would have accepted it.
“Here it is.”
The shop with the sign “The Tangled Treasure Pile of the Luminescent Ghost” had a very suspicious and gloomy appearance.
To the extent that if only the students had been there, they would not have entered this place thinking, ‘What are you doing in this place?’.
However, the gathered students did not have any doubts.
“Because that’s where Valdororn wanted to go.”
“Because it was introduced by a wizard who said Wodanaj was so amazing.”
“Of course it would be reliable.”
“Let’s go in!”
‘…it’s cheap so I go there often…’
* * * *
The owner of ＜The Luminescent Tangled Treasure Pile> has never seen so many freshmen go out of the magic school in his lifetime.
.
‘Why are you here?’
Items that were semi-permanently enchanted with magic, artifacts were quite expensive in the Empire.
So when people bought artifacts, they didn’t buy it anywhere.
After receiving confirmation from the famous wizard’s workshopwill live
However, not everyone was looking for such safe and guaranteed artifacts.
Broken or half-broken artifacts, artifacts exported during experimentation or research, artifacts that fail to reach their original goal, and so on.
You might want to find these artifacts, but the reason was simple.
Because it’s cheap!
There were many people who did not have money but needed artifacts than expected. And the place that such people stopped by was ＜The Tangled Treasure Pile of the Luminescent Ghost>.
A shop that specializes in buying and selling used, damaged and incomplete artifacts.
Adventurers don’t stop by. Why do magic school students stop by here?
“Wow. Do you have anything?”
“What kind of cloak is this cloak? There seems to be some magic on it.”
“It’s not normal because it’s a place that Baldororn often visits.”
Baldororn’s face flushed red.
“Everyone… please lower your voice…”
While the students were having a conversation, Lee Han strode through the stores and approached the counter.
The owner was nervous when a boy from a large aristocratic family approached him.
‘Isn’t it supposed to be an absurd rant?’
The adventurers who stopped by here knew what this store was like, so they didn’t have any major accidents.
But the students at the Magic School were different.
As he came from one of the most prestigious families in the empire, it would be dark in the world, and as the students studying in the Einroguard, he could overturn this if he wanted to.
The owner was very nervous.
‘Please don’t buy it. please…’
“hello.”
“No… hello.”
Lee Han lowered his head and lowered his voice. Then, the attitude of the owner naturally lowered.
“Perhaps…”
“?”
“It looks like you’re also buying incomplete artifacts here. How much would you pay for these?”
“……”
The owner unknowingly lifted his head at the student’s words and checked Lee Han’s face.
‘I’m from a real great aristocrat… right?’
* * * *
Lee Han sold obscure artifacts such as the cloak of protection (there was a half chance of blocking cutlery anyway, so Lee Han decided to just block it with magic) and boots of lesser coverts and exchanged them for money.
He couldn’t help but admire Bal d’Orrn once again.
‘Do you know of a place that offers such a good price? He is indeed an excellent wizard.’
As his pockets became more generous, Lee Han’s heart also grew.
Just as other students were already looking around, Lee Han set out to find useful artifacts.
“You seem to know well, can I ask you a few questions?”
“…I do.”
‘no?!’
Waldororn was astonished inwardly.
The owner of ＜The Luminescent Tangled Treasure Pile> was a man known for being harsh and blunt.
When Waldororn asks anything, the person who is taunting him by saying, ‘If you keep asking, go somewhere else’ will answer Lee Han’s questions in detail.
‘Do you discriminate against people!?’
Of course, I didn’t understand it. Had Bal d’Ornn been the owner, he would have answered Lee Han’s question.
It’s because the aura he exudes from other students is different.
…and brought along some very useful artifacts.
“The Principal Sun… No, is there any way to avoid the Archmage’s eyes or to detect the movement ahead of time?”
“There is no way such an artifact could exist here.”
“Well… Then what about the artifacts that detect an intruder in advance? Or the artifact that subdues the intruder…”
The owner slowly started to get confused whether Lee Han was a student from a large aristocratic family or a gangster from a gang of government officials.
Trying to rob any mansionme?
“What kind of magic does this pocket watch have?”
Lee Han, who was scanning the artifacts, was puzzled by the silver pocket watch with a slight crack in the glass.
It didn’t feel magical at all.
Could it be that the level of magic is too high for Lee Han to detect?
“There is no magic. It’s just a pocket watch.”
“ah.”
Lee Han was a little shy.
Even if it was just a pocket watch, it was a valuable enough item. Being able to measure the time accurately was itself an artifact.
Waldororn said cautiously.
“You seem to have gotten some silver coins because you sold the artifacts… How about buying them? A pocket watch in such a good condition is very hard to find once you miss it.”
“indeed. If Valdororn said so…”
“no no. I didn’t mean it that deep!”
Waldororn hadtily changed his words, but Lee Han had already understood it at his own convenience.
‘Certainly… there will be a lot of work to be timed accurately in the future.’
Alchemy as well as the higher the level of magic, the more difficult it will be to learn.
There is no way the magic school will give you a pocket watch, so it was not bad to prepare in advance.
“thank you. Valdororn’s advice was helpful.”
“Now that I think about it, it may not be so necessary, but…”
Despite his pathetic voice, Lee Han bought a pocket watch.
Seeing this, the owner tilted his head.
‘Why do you listen to Waldororn like that?’
The students of the Magic School would be more talented than Waldororn…?
Lee Han tucked a pocket watch into his coat and looked around at the other artifacts. I caught my eye as the blunt dagger hung on the wall was emitting a strange energy.
“Don’t go over there!”
“What is the reason?”
“You are a monster that absorbs magic. If you touch it wrongly, it can absorb magic power and cause you to collapse or become a bad person…”
“Aha.”
“?!?”
Despite the warning, when Lee Han just grabbed the dagger, the owner was startled.
Even as a student at the Magic School, it was too much of an act.
‘how?!’
But something even more surprising happened after Lee Han grabbed the dagger.
…even though he picked up the dagger that had already stunned several adventurers and made them bleed, the student at the Magic School was fine.
“it’s okay. You don’t have to worry.”
‘Oh my gosh!’
The owner was once again astonished.
I heard a lot that Einroguard is the best among the Imperial Magic Schools, but seeing this was a shock.
Anyway, for a freshman like this…
It was definitely a school where only monsters really gathered.
“How much is this?”
“Cursed items can only receive one silver coin. Otherwise, I won’t buy it.”
“no. So… are there any more cursed objects?”
Waldororn, who was watching, suddenly felt something strange.
‘Aren’t we supposed to ask about the effect first?’
Wouldn’t it be nice to just buy something cheap?
* * * *
“It really helped a lot.”
“It’s all thanks to Valdororn.”
All the freshmen in the four towers surrounded and thanked Waldororn.
Val d’Orrn hid his weary expression and nodded his head quickly.
“It’s nothing, folks. It was really fun to meet you guys. Don’t ever say that you learned from me somewhere…”
“Yes.”
“of course!”
“See you next time you go out…”
Val d’Orrn hurriedly ran away from him without looking back.
The students admired the cool appearance of the wizard without any regrets.
That’s a wizard!“Lee Han. What did you buy?”
“A watch and a dagger. Other cursed objects are less cursed.”
“…the curse isn’t really that bad??”
While Guy Nando was struggling, Lee Han prepared to head to the Amur stables.
Yoner asked worriedly.
“Is it okay if I tell you the truth?”
“it’s okay. He is a man of words.”
“okay?”
Yoner was puzzled as he followed.

No matter how well he makes sense, I think he’d be surprised if he said he saved the griffon…
* * * *
“Nice to meet you! Did you get a ride?”
“Yes!”
“Good job! Which one did you save?”
“It’s a Griffon.”
“……”
thud!
Amur literally fell backwards. Ian cried out in embarrassment.
“Are you okay?!”
