How to Live as a Magic School Wizard Chapter 1134 (1134/1135)

I had forgotten about him because he was so sociable and normal, but Professor Kirmin and Professor Boladi were close friends since their school days.
Professor Garcia blamed himself. He had been in Ain Rogard for so long and was still so immature.
‘I forgot the basic rules.’
Even a seemingly sane person can have a lot of madness inside them.
Because he was reflecting inwardly, Professor Garcia was late in discovering the group of merchants riding towards him.
If I had found it, I would have sent a signal saying, ‘Run away!’
“Are you from Ainrogard?”
Naseeda quickly jumped down from his horse and signaled to the soldiers who had come with him.
Even such simple manners can be interpreted as showing respect for the other person, depending on how they are displayed.
In fact, the grim-looking coachman among the knights (whose faces were not visible because of their helmets) seemed very pleased.
-You are from Ainrogard. Who are you?
“I am Naseda, here on orders from His Excellency the Count of Buyong. I have come here to clarify something that seems to have been a misunderstanding!”
“one.”
Lee Han muttered. Professor Garcia felt curious for a moment.
‘What do you mean one?’
-An explanation? Do you know what kind of rudeness your Count’s soldiers committed?
The knights spat it out as if it were absurd.
In fact, the knights weren’t particularly angry. There were definitely some parts that were more serious because of the successor behind them.
Here, I felt like if I were to act friendly and say, “Are you from that side? There must have been a misunderstanding…”, someone would come up behind me and say, “Do you worship an evil spirit?”
The merchants and even the soldiers were taken aback by the knights’ rough reaction.
‘What is it? Why is it like this?’
‘… You didn’t come here because you noticed that the relief supplies were being stolen, did you?’
“two.”
Lee Han muttered again. Professor Garcia felt a little worried as his curiosity grew.
‘You’re not counting the number of people to kill, are you? Surely you’re not Professor Bagrek either…’
Naseeda was confused because his opponent was more prickly than he had expected.
I wondered if the soldiers were being particularly rude, but even taking that into account, I don’t think they would have been that angry if they had just destroyed the checkpoint.
But I had to at least bow down. If the other party had come to check the storage of relief supplies, it would have been a disaster.
“Ha, haha… Yes. Of course I know. How could I not know when the checkpoint was so broken? The soldiers made a big mistake. I will hold them accountable.”
-joy!
“His Majesty the Count would like to come see you in person and explain the situation. Could you please wait for a moment at the nearby mansion?”
“three.”
“???”
Professor Garcia was now just plain curious.
What on earth is that number?
The answer came immediately. Lee Han shouted in a firm voice.
“Something seems suspicious. Let’s arrest him and investigate!”
“… … ”
That’s it!
Professor Garcia was leisurely thinking of something else even as the knights were fiercely attacking the merchants.
Maybe I was thinking like this because I wanted to escape from my current situation.
“What, what, what! What the hell is this…?”
-Stay still, you evil-worshipping bastard!
“A god-worshiper? I… I’ve never even believed in God…!”
Merchants and soldiers were caught off guard by the unexpected attack.
It was even more confusing because the reason was that they were demon worshippers.
Did the Count secretly worship an evil spirit?
‘I’m not the type of person who would do that.’
‘Isn’t he the kind of person who would steal money meant for offering to the devil?’
“Put this aside! Even if you came from Ainrogard, do you think you can get away with doing something like this? His Majesty the Count will make a formal complaint!”
Naseeda shouted loudly at first.
I don’t know what the situation was, but I had to hold on, even if it meant borrowing the Count’s name.
-Isn’t that guy a real demon worshipper?
-It’s suspicious that you’re suddenly getting angry.
The knights whispered among themselves.
At first, I arrested him because I was worried that the successor would get angry, but when I actually caught him, it was a bit suspicious.
Even the soldiers and merchants act as if they have something to hide.
Besides, that chief merchant’s sudden change of attitude was even more suspicious. Wasn’t his attitude earlier just an act?
“this guy!”
Ibinta shouted loudly.
I felt pressured to do something while the knights were active.
“Do you know who this person is? He is from the Wodanaz family!”
“?!!”
Naseed, who had been shouting, stopped at those words.
You came from the Wardanaz family.
There was only one Wardanaz clan wizard of that age who was from Ainrogard and was visible on the continent at the moment.
“… Hey, don’t lie! I clearly heard that Wardanaz is the next person to take charge of the empire!”
Merchants tended to devote their time to gathering rumors that circulated throughout the vast empire.
In this area, obtaining information was the most important job of all.
And in that respect, the wizard of the Wardanaz family currently in Einrogard was an excellent wizard who would later take charge of the empire.
Defeating the various dimensional raiders that descended upon the continent, and despite his young age, working together with the magicians of various magic towers, he achieved outstanding magical feats…
… So when I heard the rumor, I thought, ‘He’s so different from the existing wizards of the Wardanaz family, he’s so unique.’
But now that I look back, it seems like the rumor was actually wrong.
Isn’t he just the same person as the rumored Wardanaz family?
“… Mr. Ibinta. Let’s not talk nonsense.”
“Oh. Yes. Sorry.”
Yibinta regretted Leehan’s cold remark.
The family should have just not said anything…!
* * *
Although he had sent his trustworthy right arm, Count Buyong felt uneasy for some reason.
“Come to think of it, why did the Einrogard wizards come here?”
“Perhaps they were trying to go to Befaim City? If they crossed over the bridge, they could shorten the road, and since there was a lot of damage recently around Befaim City, it’s likely they called the wizard from there.”
“Then why did you react so violently?”
“It is clear that the stupid soldiers made a mistake. You know how greedy they are.”
The count did not pay his soldiers high wages, so it was customary for the soldiers manning the checkpoints to earn their own income.
It was natural that soldiers like that would become friendly when they received a bribe and rude when they did not.
“Is that so? These bastards. You should have just told them nicely and sent them away. What the…”
bang!
“?”
The count in his study frowned at the loud noise coming from afar.
“What are you talking about?”
“It looks like there was a carriage accident outside.”
“How stupid! You shouldn’t know properly.”
Boom!
The loud noise is heard again.
Even the sound sounded closer than before. The count and the butler’s faces hardened.
Kwaaang!
-Ugh! We are not demon worshippers! I said we really are not! We really have nothing to do with demons…
The butler hurriedly ran to the window and checked outside. Then, the butler’s figure disappeared outside the window.
“?!?!?”
The startled count poked his head out to see what was happening. The butler was being dragged down, bound in opaque chains. It was a truly bizarre sight.
“Ugh!”
And of course, the Count was dragged out as well. The Death Knights were grabbing anyone they saw and dragging them out.
“What are you doing! Do you know who I am?”
-Tell me later. Drag them all out! Where are you running away to?
Some servants tried to run away, thinking that some kind of attack had occurred, but then returned to their original places.
It seemed as if some invisible labyrinth of illusions surrounded the mansion.
The Count Buyong, who had been dragged in, was made to kneel in the front yard garden of the mansion along with the others in the mansion. The Count did not give up and shouted.
“Do you know who I am?”
“It’s noisy. Be quiet.”
Lee Han warned the Count in an irritated voice.
I was concentrating to see if anyone was leaving the mansion, but the constant whining next to me got on my nerves.
“I’m using…”
puck!
The merchants and Naseeda who were captured first were terrified at the sight of the count being knocked unconscious by the water bomb.
The way he brandished his force without even listening to anyone looked like a real lunatic.
‘The Wadanaz family itself…!’
“If the Count is a demon worshipper, then you guys too…”
“No, that’s not true! We simply stole the goods and sold them!”
The merchants cried out in tears.
This is the first time that no one has believed me even though I told them the truth.
But Lee Han did not take his suspicious gaze away.
It is possible that the count or one of his guests may be a demon worshipper.
Even if the merchants really didn’t care, it was worth investigating.
-I caught them all.
“… All they did was steal supplies, right?”
“Probably so. Well, it’s your own fault, isn’t it?”
Professor Kirmin shrugged.
As I said before, when someone is angry, the one who hangs around in front of them is at fault.
Besides, after listening to the merchants’ testimonies, I didn’t feel any sympathy for them. They were just people abusing their power to secretly embezzle relief supplies and sell them.
Sometimes fate does the right thing. Maybe fate was using Wodanaz’s hand to beat the Count.
“… … ”
Professor Garcia stared at Professor Kirmin.
I don’t think it’s the right time for a disciple to say such a thing…
‘Did you really plan on coming with someone else?’
The knights were too sycophantic and unhelpful, and Professor Kirmin, whom I trusted, was treating me more leniently than I expected, perhaps because he felt sorry for his friend’s student.
After a while.
The knights who quickly completed various activities such as searches, interrogations, and investigations returned.
– First of all, nothing has been confirmed within the mansion. He has embezzled goods and abused his authority, but there is no evidence of collusion with evil spirits.
-The testimony is the same. The count usually accumulated his wealth in a mean manner, but he never met any god worshippers. He usually only hung out with merchants…
“Yes, that’s right! Please believe me!”
“We were really focused on money. We weren’t interested in things like belief in evil spirits!”
The count, who had come to his senses thanks to the voices of the merchants shouting from the side, opened his mouth as he realized the situation.
He couldn’t imagine why he was being accused of being a demon worshipper.
“Tsk.”
Lee Han clicked his tongue as if he was displeased.
I was hoping that I could catch one or two of them since they were acting suspiciously, but they were just ordinary petty criminals.
The count looked at the wizard who was said to be from the Wodanaz family without realizing it.
Of course, listening to the explanation won’t change the current situation. It wasn’t the worship of an evil spirit, but the embezzlement of relief supplies, which was the thing they wanted to hide the most, was discovered.
But still, Count Buyong wanted to hear something. Otherwise, he felt like he wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.
Isn’t this all happening because of that damned devil worshipper accusation?
I thought it would be a little easier if they told me that they had come because they suspected embezzlement of relief supplies.
‘Say something! Say something!’
“You shouldn’t have acted so suspiciously.”
With those words, Lee Han stormed out.
There was no explanation, no reason given. The knights watched him closely and then slowly followed after Lee Han.
“… … ”
“… … ”
The count and the merchants present swore an oath at that moment.
I will never, ever, ever approach any place where the blood of the Wardanaz family is present!
‘What a crazy family!’
