“Are you angry?”
Could it be… I am the Helm of Wisdom. The purpose is only to give a wise answer to the seeker, but such private…
‘I think he’s angry.’
Ian thought to himself.
It was rare to find someone who didn’t get angry with someone who usually talked for a long time like that.
Of course, the Helm of Wisdom was an artifact, but there was no law against being vindictive.
“Hmm. Helm of Wisdom… An artifact that has a self like you and can even answer questions once a month, isn’t it?”
You can do that.
The helmet of wisdom answered with a reflection.
I wondered if this young student had finally realized his worth.
The purpose of the helmet of wisdom is to explore and accumulate all the knowledge of the world.
For that purpose, it didn’t matter how dangerous the owner of the helmet was.
In order to pursue the purpose, the owner of the helmet depends on the helmet and keeps asking questions…
The cheeky student threw it into the pile and after a while he lifted the helmet.
Still, she seemed to have realized her worth even now, so she could forgive her.
“Thank you.”
Wait… why don’t you ask a question? You can do it once a month, so it would be better to do as many as possible?
“no. It’s annoying when you sell.”
hair…!
Lee Han packed the helmet well and put it in a wooden box.
He was overjoyed to think of exchanging it for silver coins along with the ring.
* * * *
Yoner sighed as he saw Lee Han walking from afar.
My friend was walking into the Valley of Darkness, and it was very difficult because I couldn’t stop him.
“Did I really say that? Can’t you tell me later?”
Yoner said over and over, as if worried.
Joanen Maikin’s Alchemy Workshop located in the guild area west of Granden City.
It was a harsh hell alchemy workshop that everyone who knew alchemists knew.
A place where no single mistake or even a second wasted is allowed.
Yoner had been avoiding going to the workshop here since he was scared and cried while holding onto his sister’s hem when he was young.
“Yone. All I can say to you later is thank you.”
“…Lee Han. I like silver coins too… but life may not be all about silver coins.”
Yonner had never imagined that such an absurd, embarrassing sound would come out of his mouth.
“Silver is not everything. I know. But it’s convenient to have silver coins.”
“It is.”
To deny Lee Han’s words, the two’s personalities areit was so similar While Yoner reluctantly admitted, Lee Han opened the door to the workshop and went inside.
“Sleep…”
iron puck!
As soon as Lee Han entered, he saw an alchemist pouring a potion on another alchemist’s face.
“I made trash. scram. I don’t need you either.”
“Woah… what! You know where I’ve been and you’re saying that?! At Cheongsong Guild and Classen Workshop…!!”
“I don’t care where you worked. I only look at my current skills. And you wasted more of my time with useless words.”
Before he could finish speaking, the golem appeared. The golem grabbed the alchemist’s arms and threw it out the door of the workshop.
The alchemist who gave the order didn’t even say ‘to get back to work’.
The alchemists in the workshop were concentrating on their work without even paying attention.
“Is this Einroguard?”
“So I said…”
Yoner said in a weak voice.
He was afraid that after vacation he would lose a friend.
* * * *
Joanen greeted them both straightening her amethyst glasses with her gloved hands.
“Nice to meet you. I was waiting. Did you come earlier than your appointment time?”
“The thought of working in this famous workshop in the city made my heart race and I couldn’t wait.”
“……”
Yoner looked at Lee Han with a confused expression.
I knew my friend was good at Abu, but this is really…
Joanen’s eyes softened over the amethyst glasses that were appropriate for Abu.
“You must be still in your junior year, but you already have this mindset… There’s a reason the rumors spread.”
“thank you. for a moment. What do you mean by rumors?”
“I heard that you overwhelmingly won the battle with the wizard from Baldrogaard?”
“There is some misunderstanding about that rumor…”
“In the imperial mansion, we conquered the basilisk.”
“That’s right, but there…”
“I heard a few days ago that he came to subdue an evil otherworldly being.”
‘Are there any professors bulletin boards in this city?’
Lee Han trembled at the fear of the social circles in Granden, where information was shared quickly like the professors at Einrogard.
Of course, there was nothing wrong with spreading fame.
However, when a reputation not worthy of his level spread, he was only poison.
What if I misunderstood Lee Han as ‘Your hobby is to reverse summon evil otherworldly beings or catch basilisks’.
Lee Han had already experienced such an experience once in Einroguard. Twice was a specification.
“Is the existence of another world not subjugated? It must have been spread wrong.”
Yoner was puzzled and sided with Lee Han. Lee Han said bitterly.
“I actually did.”
“…when?!”
“After registering as adventurers with the White Tiger Tower guys. Because these children are fussing around…”
“……”
Yoner gave up defending his friend.
At this point, I thought it wasn’t just Lee Han’s bad luck, it was Lee Han’s self-sufficiency.
“You don’t have to worry too much. The work we have to do in the workshop is not that dangerous.”
“Really?”
Yonner said in a worried voice.
I was already feeling 30 minutes before losing a friend.
“Of course. Think carefully. Yonner. The alchemists working here in the workshop are outstanding alchemists with at least ten years of experience. No matter how talented you are, you can’t put first-year students right away.”
“I know?”
Yonner was slightly swayed by his sister’s persuasion.No matter how talented Lee Han was, he had not yet learned all the complicated secrets of alchemy.
Lee Han, who was listening next to him, whispered softly to Yonaire.
“Well. Yonner. I don’t really want to say this, but even people who aren’t at the right level can do it.”
As Professor Verdus did, even if Lee Han’s magic level was not yet satisfactory, Lee Han had one outstanding advantage.
An unmeasurable amount of magical power.
“So…”
“Oh yeah. Yonner. Could you please deliver this letter to Mrs. Ornette? Mrs Ornette will be very happy to see you after a long time.”
Joanen cut off their conversation and handed Yoner a letter.
Upon receiving the letter, Yonner looked at Lee Han with a look of anxiety and concern. He looked like he was afraid that his friend would die if he took his eyes off him.
“Go. Because I’m fine.”
“…be really careful. Lee Han. Remember what I said earlier.”
As Yoner closed the door and left, Joanen asked curiously.
“Is it okay if I ask what your brother said earlier?”
“He said that life may not be all about silver.”
“Isn’t he going to be able to?”
Lee Han was slightly embarrassed by his firm trust in his younger brother.
“ruler. After all… my brother is gone, so can he start work?”
“Yes.”
“Let’s go.”
Joanen got up and started walking down the hallway of the workshop.
He made it clear that the complex scent pouring from all over the place was the alchemist’s workshop.
“Do you know where this is?”
“Is this Maykin-sama’s studio?”
“It fits well.”
Joanen swung his staff and called the ingredients from the cupboard.
The water in the pot filled up and the medicinal herbs were minced on it. As the fire of the pot was turned on, the heat rose.
“The potion I’m going to make right now is ＜Dobrook’s Reunion Potion>. Do you know?”
“I only know what kind of potion it is.”
Professor Thunderwalker was a mischievous man, but he wasn’t like a mad vampire professor, threatening to make a potion that he couldn’t make right now.
In that sense, ＜Dobrook’s Reunion Potion> was a high-level potion that could not be made at Lee Han’s level.
There are some magic that Lee Han doesn’t know how to use yet, and the ingredients and usage are much more complicated…
“It’s great just knowing that. What Wodanaj-sama will do today is to trim and put Drapilla, the main ingredient of this remarriage potion. In short, I’m acting as my assistant.”
At first glance, it sounds fairly simple, but Lee Han was never vigilant.
The world was not easy enough to earn silver coins so easily.
“Is there anything I should be careful about when putting it in?”
At Lee Han’s words, Joanen’s eyes lit up.
Since he was definitely a senior student in the Einlo Guard, he understood quickly without needing to explain.
“I trim it as shown here, but do you know how to do the ＜Ingredient Amplification> magic? I guess I haven’t learned it yet.”
“If you teach me, I will learn.”
“I have a schedule today, so please learn within 30 minutes.”
Joanen slowly and calmly began to reveal his madness.
If Yonner had been by my side, I would have stopped him by saying, ‘Please come to your senses, you’re my friend.’
What kind of wizard asked you to learn a magic you’ve never seen before in 30 minutes?
“All right.”
However, Lee Han was neither embarrassed nor surprised.
It was because he had already experienced a lot of crazy people in Einroguard.
Joanen briefly explained the movement of the staff, the spells, and the flow of magic.
“＜Separation of ingredients> Think of it as an extension of magic.”
“understand.”
“Try it.”
Lee Han swung his staff. And he did it once and for all.
Joanen was amazed.
He was expecting 30 minutes, but he’ll make it in one shot.
Expectations were rising that we had brought in really good talent.
“Great.”
“thank you.”
“Then extract the liquid component of Drapilla and try to amplify it.”
It was simple, but it was by no means simple.
Extracting Drapylla, a plant with a liquid component firmly fixed in the root, was usually not difficult.
If force was applied, the roots were destroyed before the liquid came out and the mixture was messy.
In order to do this, not only excellent mana control, but also understanding and experience with the element of water were required.
Aww!
With the sound of squeezing the piece of cloth, the liquid component was extracted from the inside of Drapylla.
If there were other alchemists in the workshop, I would have been shocked.

No matter how good you are, first-year students are already like this.
But Joanen shook his head.
“There are impurities in the ingredients. I think you have to do it again.”
Joanen’s full-fledged madness that Yonaire was worried about.
He was a perfectionist who pointed out that even if his opponent made 99, he was not enough 1 out of 100, so he had to do it again.
If there were other alchemists, they would have said, ‘You can’t find an assistant because you’re like this, Maykin, please calm down.’ Unfortunately, there was no one else in this studio right now.
“All right.”
Lee Han extracted the liquid again. Joanen said regretfully.
“There is a bit of waste in extraction. I think you have to do it again.”
“yes.”
“There was a problem with the amplification. I think you have to do it again.”
“No problem.”
Originally, if you were told to do it again for a trivial reason even though you had succeeded in this difficult process, it was common to clench your teeth the second time and open the door the third time and run away.
Unfortunately, there was no sane person in this studio right now.
“How about this?”
“I think we are almost there. You have to do it again…”
“Yes.”
* * * *
Yoner gasped for his breath and opened the door.
“I have been there! What happened?!”
“There was nothing.”
“Because you were doing a good job.”
Lee Han and Joanen greeted Yoner with a gentle smile that meant ‘why are you making such a fuss’.
Yoner’s smile was strangely creepy.
