Episode 1150
“……”
“……”
The guild members who arrived at the scene were silent.
Everyone kept their mouths shut as if they had made a promise.
After a while, one of the guild members who came to his senses first muttered.
“A giant… I see.”
“…Siren too…”
After receiving the letter and wondering what it was all about, the guild members realized that Lee Han had not left out anything in the letter.
There were really giants and sirens at the scene!
Lee Han, who had been playing hard among them, stopped when he saw the guild members.
“Huh? What brings you here?”
-Oooh! The music has stopped! We’re losing energy!
-We’ll sing instead!
The sirens desperately flapped their fins at the giants’ cries. As the water splashed up to his face, Lee Han quickly dodged and said.
“I’ll keep playing, so you two don’t have to worry! Sorry, but please wait a moment. I’ll just finish this and go.”
“Make yourself comfortable. I’ll be looking around.”
I felt bad for my guild members for bothering me because I was working so hard.
Instead of speaking to Lee Han, the stonemasons decided to go and see the completed part of the lighthouse for themselves.
“Hello.”
“…Hey! Magic School of Blessing! The person who gave you the request has arrived!”
As they approached the lighthouse, the Einrogard students shouted in surprise.
Shigunting, who was working on the painting inside, urgently called his senior.
“Senior. It looks like the Stonemason Guild members have come to see us. What should we do? Should we start by putting up a smoke screen?”
“Shigunting. This isn’t a request from Professor Burdus. There’s absolutely no need to hide it.”
The students of Ainrogard basically had a habit of hiding or concealing clients when they came to them.
It wasn’t necessarily because I did something wrong, but because there was no harm in covering it up.
This habit was especially helpful when I had done something wrong.
It was natural that Shigunting would try to create a smokescreen since the majority of requests from the Magic School of Buyeo, especially those from Professor Verdus, were carried out without regard for the client’s requests and as the professor did.
“Really?”
“Yeah. It was faster than expected, but not too late.”
“What if the durability is lacking or we accidentally missed something?”
“I checked and compared everything at dawn. It wasn’t there.”
Shigunting let out a sigh of relief at the sight of Anpagon giving a blunt answer.
The seniors who belonged to this stonemason club were trustworthy as they were thorough in this regard.
“Wait a minute, so you checked it at dawn without even sleeping?”
“No. Wardanaz did it. He went out at dawn to check and come back.”
“……”
‘This guy, won’t he fall?’
Shigunting had doubts in his mind.
Of course, taking classes at the school itself meant that he was much more physically fit than a regular wizard, but even taking that into account, this guy was really…
“Is there anyone here?”
“I’m going down now!”
While they were talking, the members of the Capital Stonemason Guild had already arrived in front of the lighthouse.
Shigunting hurried down the rope. He saw another of his school friends gesturing with his hand, ‘Should I bring some fainting or hallucination potions?’
Shigunting replied, “It’s still okay.”
“What brings you here? The work is progressing well. There is still time left…”
No one likes having clients come by frequently. Shigunting was secretly pointing that out.
It’s not that the guild members didn’t know that fact…
“I came here because I heard that the giant and siren were involved in the work.”
“…ah!”
Shigunting had no choice but to be convinced.
Honestly, even if it were me, I think I would have forced myself to visit.
‘If that’s the reason, then there’s nothing I can do.’
“Wodanaz, my junior, is actually quite sociable. That’s unusual for our school. He’s on friendly terms with giants, sirens, Professor Verdus, senior Yukveltire, and dragons.”
‘Is that even possible on a slightly social level?’
‘I think there was a stranger example than that.’
The stonemason guild members looked at each other in bewilderment. There were more than a few things to point out.
“Oh, I see… Anyway, it’s quite surprising.”
“Would you please check while you’re here?”
Shigunting asked, pointing to the lighthouse building located behind.
As he had heard a definite answer from Anpagon, Sigunting’s attitude was overflowing with confidence.
It seemed that the members of the Stonemason Guild felt that confidence as well. The guild members smiled brightly.
“It looks like the work is going very well.”
“Haha. That’s right.”
“Only a confident wizard would be the first to make an invitation like this. Professor Verdus, that author…”
“Let’s stop talking about that.”
Other colleagues tried to dissuade the guild members.
The mood is already good, so there is no need to mention the incidents that happened in the past.
“Yes. That’s right. Let’s take a look… It looks like they’ve already cast some magic on the outer wall near the entrance. It doesn’t shake even when I push it.”
The members of the Stonemason’s Guild were impressed by the speed of work of the Einrogard students.
The outer wall at the entrance of the lighthouse here was a difficult area to finish quickly because there were many magic spells that had to be done and many reagents needed.
But I thought the work would be finished already.
“?”
Shigunting paused.
Huh?
“…What? Have you ever worked here?”
“We decided to do it all at once in the end.”
I stopped a friend passing by and asked him, but all I got back was a question asking what he was talking about.
The embarrassed Shigunting called his senior and asked again.
“Senior Anpagon! Have you been working here?”
“Can’t you see I’m working on the ceiling here? How and when did I do that?”
“…Did you happen to sneak out at dawn like Wardanaz did?”
After asking, Shigunting regretted it.
Anpagon isn’t stupid. Why would he do something like that?
In fact, Anpagon must have thought so too, because he immediately gave a sharp reply from above.
“Am I a Wardanaz?”
“Right… I’m sorry. Then, did Wodanaz do it at dawn?”
“That’s not true. If you think about other tasks you’ve done at dawn, it’s impossible.”
The Capital Stonemason Guild members who were listening to the conversation were slightly confused.
Why doesn’t anyone find it strange that Wodanaz students sneak out at dawn to work?
Shigunting grabbed other seniors and asked them, but no one came forward and said they had done the work.
“Phew. The work is done, but no one is there?”
Eventually, questions were raised even to Falcrios and Jarun, who were working in the basement.
Falcrios asked back as soon as he heard.
“Isn’t that what Wardanaz did at dawn?”
“No.”
“What a pity. I thought it was Wodanaz!”
“……”
The gazes of the stonemasons’ guild members became increasingly absurd, but the students did not notice.
“Phew. Could it be Senior Yukveltire?”
“yes?”
At Falcrios’ words, not only Shigunting but even Jarun was shocked.
What the hell is that?
“Hahahaha! I was joking! There’s absolutely no way that could happen!”
Shigunting burst into laughter at Falcrios’ joke. Even Jarun’s lips slightly lifted.
Of course, the stonemasons’ guild members couldn’t laugh at all.
‘What is that sound?’
Jarun, who had been quiet alone, opened his mouth.
“Isn’t this some kind of primitive magical phenomenon?”
“Primitive magic?”
Magic that is cast in a way other than the current Imperial magic system.
Starting with ancient magic, various magics were included here. Each of these magics had different characteristics, but most of them had in common that they were difficult to measure or theorize.
“There were giants, there were sirens, there were dragons, and…”
“Well, it was originally occupied by the Mad Forest.”
Jarun nodded at Falcrios’ words.
When several of these rare species come together and collide, it is not surprising that primitive magical phenomena that they have not yet identified occur.
“Wodanaz, the junior, also subdued a giant with music magic.”
The possible causes of the primitive magical phenomenon were quite varied.
A giant, a siren, an angry Professor Verdus, a forced working senior Yukveltire, a dragon, a junior’s performance…
Jarun nodded and said.
“There is only one way to confirm this: Falcrius.”
“Phew. I thought so too. Break down the outer wall at the entrance and repeat the exact same thing over and over again.”
“Okay. Then we’ll know what caused it.”
“…Student Wodanaz! Student Wodanaz! Come here for a moment!”
The Stonemasons Guild members were deeply grateful for their visit today.
If not, these crazy Einrogard students would have sabotaged the work for useless verification!
* * *
The remaining work was completed before the end of the weekend.
With all obstacles gone and different races joining forces to help, the speed increased even further.
Lee Han, who built a perfect structure with a speed that will be remembered in the history of Einrogard, expressed his gratitude to his seniors.
“Thank you all.”
“We had fun too, Wardanaz. We will never accept a request that can be completed this quickly again.”
“yes?”
“Ah. Your true feelings came out. I’m sorry. It was so hard.”
“……”
Although some seniors complained about the harsh schedule, more seniors than expected did not care.
If you look at the quality of life in Ain Rogard, there is nothing you can do.
If it was a request that gave a generous reward and could be completed in a compressed amount of time, I should be grateful.
“That kid is a third-year student, but he’s less mature than a second-year student.”
“Leave it alone. Phew. You’ll realize it when you’re in the fourth grade.”
-We had fun too!
The giants shouted brightly.
The giants had nothing to be upset about, as they came, ate their fill, and sang happily.
When even the giants shared their thoughts, everyone present turned their gaze toward the river.
All that was left were the sirens.
-……
Parthenope really didn’t want to write, but she wrote on the stone tablet that she enjoyed it too.
Some of the sirens behind them could not help but sob, unable to overcome their resentment.
“The siren is crying?”
“It looks like she’s crying because she’s sad to break up! This is the first time I’ve seen a siren do that. How close are they…”
The sirens gritted their teeth at the sound of their seniors whispering.
I need to get out of here quickly so I don’t have to hear those wizards’ evil chirping.
Lee Han felt sorry when he saw the Sirens shedding tears and said.
“Next time I get a request like this, I’ll definitely call you…”
with a splash!
The sirens quickly disappeared. The seniors advised Lee Han.
“Seeing you looking so sorry, I think it would be a good idea to invite you next time. Wodanaz.”
“That’s right. Sirens are a very quirky and ill-tempered race. If they hold a grudge, you never know what they might do.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
Certainly, the Sirens were a race as difficult as the giants.
Even if we are close now, if we act recklessly just believing this, our relationship may become estranged later.
The seniors who finished their work happily greeted each other and each returned to their respective main buildings. Some returned through the river, while others transformed into giant birds and flew away.
And Jarun dug through the ground, looking for soft terrain. It was better to have no solid bedrock to quickly break through and descend underground.
“Senior.”
“!”
Jaroon jumped at the eerie voice of his junior.
He was already a very dangerous guy, but after being attacked by a flock of paper birds, his alertness tripled.
“What, what is it! What’s going on?”
“Oh, no. Thank you for coming this time. Please take this.”
Lee Han said with sincerity.
Jarun, a skilled transmutation wizard and member of the Stonemason Club, contributed greatly to the work.
And the best thing about this senior was that he had no friends.
The workload almost doubled as other seniors didn’t have time to waste on chattering.
Jarun accepted his junior’s gift without letting down his guard. When he opened the package, he was surprised to find a long dimensional astrolabe inside.
I don’t know who made it, but it was an excellent artifact. Even Jarun was impressed.
“Senior, your research is on the Dimensional Transformation Golden Observation Collection. I brought it because I thought it would be helpful.”
“…Where did you get this? This kind of thing probably won’t sell well.”
“I brought it from Professor Burdus’ warehouse, but it’s not that important.”
Jaroon nodded, surprised. It certainly didn’t matter.
