Episode 382
Slam!
As the King of Ghouls had taught me, I touched the wall behind the pillar, and the hidden space inside was revealed along with the sound of machinery moving.
When Lee Han saw that, he suddenly became anxious.
‘Surely it’s not a bone again?’
When I thought about it, the concept of undead treasure could be a little different.
Still, I’m a king, but I need at least a few gems…
“Junior!!!!”
Ogoldos, who entered first, shouted with joy. Lee Han asked excitedly.
“What do you have?”
“It’s a bone! Bones!!! “It’s a bone!!!!”
“……”
For the first time in a long time, Lee Han looked at him with a straight face.
* * *
“Don’t you know what treasure is?”
Are you saying you don’t know what those bones are? How dare you be so shameless…
The King of Ghouls was angry at Lee Han’s attitude.
I told him about the treasure he had hidden for so long, and he had such a shameless attitude.
“Those bones are a treasure to the warlock, not to me.”
gibberish! You are clearly a warlock…
Lee Han summoned the lightning element and compressed it, but failed once again and threw it at the King of Ghouls.
As if that wasn’t enough, I also pulled out the morning star.
“Look at this. Does this still make me look like a warlock? “I mean, think back to the last time you fought.”
……
Lee Han could insist as much as he wanted to get what he wanted.
And from the perspective of the Ghoul King, he had no choice but to be shaken.
If you recall the last time Lee Han fought, he was not a typical warlock.
“If we want to trust one another! “Shouldn’t we put out something real?”
Lee Han harshly reprimanded the shaking King of Ghouls. It was like a professor reprimanding a student who did not do an assignment properly.
Ogoldos looked at that like he was crazy.
‘What on earth are you doing…!’
During the black magic lecture, I learned a lot about ‘things to keep in mind when dealing with undead beings from other dimensions’, but I had never seen anything like that.
…just wait. Because I’m thinking about it.
“Aren’t you trying to hide the treasure you have now?”
Just shut up. As a king, do you think he would remember every single treasure in the palace?
The King of Ghouls, irritated by his lack of concentration, snapped.
‘You remember everything, right?’
Lee Han was surprised.
If Lee Han were king, I think he would memorize the entire treasure list…
One thing came to mind.
“also! “I believed it.”
But before that, swear on your honor.
Originally, we would have wanted to bind ourselves together with a proper contract, but now that we are separated by a magic circle, the only thing we can trust is each other’s words.
I will open the magic circle without making any more quibbles!
The Ghoul King had no intention of keeping his promise, but he had no idea that the other party would break his promise.
It was because he believed that only he was vicious and mean.
However, a being even more despicable than the Ghoul King was right in front of him.
“of course. “I swear.”
…There is another hidden warehouse on the other side.
‘Do the undead have a habit of building warehouses around themselves?’
There are several secret warehouses placed close together in the space where the throne is.
I felt very clearly how little he trusted his subordinates.
“…?”
Lee Han, who revealed the hidden warehouse as the King of Ghouls told him to do, paused.
A huge door, the likes of which I had never seen before, guarded the warehouse.
The metal door with a unique pattern engraved on it radiated a strange magical power, no matter what material it was made of.
Ogoldos next to him groaned.
“It must be difficult.”
When inexperienced people think of exploring a dungeon or ruin, they often think of a skilled engineer (suspiciously close to the Thieves’ Guild, but not a thief) deftly opening locked doors and dismantling devices.
However, most explorations did not go that smoothly.
Usually, locked doors or devices were much stronger than the skill of the person unlocking them, and most of them had to be turned around or avoided.
“hey. King of Ghouls! “How did this happen?”
I made it clear. You just can’t open it. Originally, that door was a door that could only be opened with my power.
The Ghoul King spoke, holding back his cunning from leaking out.
In fact, the door to that warehouse was made by some of the best undead carvers and blacksmiths in the realm under orders from the King of Ghouls.
A door made by gathering and mixing eight metals, feeding it with the blood of thirteen races, and tempering it with the flames of six dimensions.
As it was a masterpiece completed during the kingdom’s heyday, it was not a door that could be opened by a few wizards.
If you let me out, I will open the door.

“Right. i get it. “Let’s try hard to open it.”
Didn’t you swear that you would open it without any more quibbles?
“It’s about when you get the treasure.”
Lee Han ignored it.
I wasn’t planning on keeping it even if I got it, but I wasn’t going to even pretend to listen if I couldn’t get it.
The Ghoul King was swearing behind him, but it did not reach Lee Han’s ears.
“senior. “Let’s get out of the way for a moment.”
Lee Han moved Ogoldos out of the way and then poured out his magic.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Starting with sub-octane bullets and arrows with reinforcing magic superimposed on them.
Even though they used as much firepower as they could, there wasn’t a single scratch on the door.
“Wouldn’t it be better to give up on this and just wait?”
“hmm. I can’t help it… just wait a moment. senior. Look next to here.”
Lee Han pointed to the huge rock next to the door guarding the warehouse.
A single bullet that had just missed left a small trace on the huge rock.
“Shall we drill this way?”
“…Are you serious?!”
Ogoldos was dumbfounded.
It was a structure that came right out when you opened the door and went in, but I couldn’t tell how far I had to turn to bypass the rock next to it.
“There’s nothing to do anyway.”
“…Yes, but…”
Ogoldos thought to himself as he saw his junior trying to break through the rock since he couldn’t break through the door.
‘It would be really popular if I went to the punishment room.’
It was a talent that other students locked in the punishment room would drool over and try to recruit if they saw it.

“Are you saying that now?”
When Professor Garcia roared, Professor Mortum crumpled.
“If there are such ruins in a dangerous place, the students should be sent outside first!”
“Well… that’s a bit overprotective…”
The saying that it is scary when a person who is not usually angry gets angry was exactly what Professor Garcia said.
Professor Mortum hesitated, unable to meet Professor Garcia’s eyes.
“Besides, why did you take a first-year student into the undead dimension!”
“Well… I thought it would be okay since I also dealt with the King of Frost Giants.”
“……”
Professor Garcia, who was angry, was momentarily speechless.
Perhaps thinking it was an opportunity, Professor Mortum quickly sent a request to the skeleton headmaster for help.
“Mr. Gonadaltes. Please help. Isn’t there any benefit in giving money to students? “To become a great wizard, you have to overcome hardships…”
Since the skeleton principal usually tries to force students into danger, Professor Mortum thought that the skeleton principal would take his side.
There is no point in protecting students.
Your magic skills will increase only if you throw it in a crisis.
Isn’t this what the usual skeleton principal insisted on?
However, the skeleton principal coldly refused.
No matter what, taking a first-year student into the undead dimension was a bit harsh.
“!??!”
Professor Mortum looked at the skeleton headmaster with eyes full of betrayal.
It was understandable that Professor Garcia was angry. Because he was originally a person who cared about his students.
But it was very pretentious for the skeleton principal to do that.
“Isn’t that too much!”
What’s too much is that you took a first-year student with you. Are you out of your mind? So the number of students who want to learn about black magic is decreasing.
The skeleton headmaster cut off Professor Mortum coldly.
The Emperor of the Empire had already received a warning. In such a situation, Professor Mortum, who caused the accident even though he couldn’t stop it, couldn’t have looked nice.
Rather than taking his side for no reason and then criticizing him at the same time as the Emperor, it was best to blame it on Professor Mortum.
‘We’ll see!’
Professor Mortum gritted his teeth at the betrayal of his respected teacher.
Even if they asked for useful undead in the future, I had no intention of giving them away.
So… is that all there is to it now? You organized it better than I thought.
The skeleton principal floated and looked around.
In fact, Professor Mortum made the best choice.
When Lee Han and Ogoldos went missing inside the palace, he immediately took the remaining disciples outside and began searching alone with the undead.
If I had found it that well, other professors would have said, ‘You’re great,’ but unfortunately, the reality was different.
Because the palace was protected by very powerful magic, the search was very time consuming.
When the start date of school arrived, Professor Mortum held back tears and sent a message to the skeleton principal, who then forwarded it to other professors…
Thanks to this, Einrogard’s professors were able to meet in a village near the portal.
I was planning on getting rid of any other adventurers. I can’t believe these knights have this kind of thinking. Are you by any chance?
“no.”
Then I won’t praise you. Bring the knights. I need some praise.
“……”
In order to penetrate the defenses of the profound ruins within the portal, it was better to minimize variables.
If there were adventurers wandering around laughing that the road to another dimension had opened, I was going to catch them all, swallow them up, and drive them out, but the knights had already done that.
The skeleton principal was quite impressed.
The knights accepted the skeleton headmaster’s compliment with the utmost courtesy.
Professors could joke with the skeleton headmaster, but knights could never do that.
If you did something like that to the empire’s infamous archmage, Prince Gonadaltes, you could have been turned into a frog and locked in a cage for the rest of your life.
“thank you. Gonadaltes!”
okay. Please continue to do so.
“I… But the adventurers keep making strong requests to be released. What should I do?”
Keep them locked up. There’s nothing good about letting those noisy adventurers go.
The skeleton principal said harshly.
From now on, I had to focus on breaking through the dimensional ruins, but I didn’t want to let those pesky adventurers go free.
How annoying would it be if they were released and then sneaked in again?
Professor Garcia asked cautiously.
“Aren’t you going to protest?”
Do it. If you want to search.
The skeleton principal ignored him, as if he didn’t care about such trivial matters anymore.
Saving disciples is important, but what’s so important about adventurers being locked up for a few more weeks?
I’m sure I’ll be full anyway…
Of course, for the trapped anti-magicists, it was like a bolt from the blue.
-no! Why on earth can’t they release me? Is it okay for an imperial knight to be like this!?
-I have the right to be protected according to imperial law! Call the administrator!

day.
“How far has it progressed?”
I found half the rules.
“Fortunately, the.”
Professor Mortum answered with relief.
Even as he grew older, a teacher was always a trustworthy figure in front of his students.
Two days.
“How far has it progressed?”
There’s a bit of a catch in the rules.
“Well…”
“It’s really sad.”
…?
The skeleton principal was about to say something when Professor Garcia was sitting next to him.
three days.
“How far has it progressed?”
I removed the defensive magic and strengthened the palace to prevent it from collapsing… Wait. Why do you guys keep increasing?
The headmaster was shocked by the increasing number of professors in the village.
The semester has already started, but who is going to teach the lectures?
“I just stopped by for a moment.”
Professor Garcia is fine… but I don’t think other professors will be as sincere. Do I really need to evaluate it seriously? Professors who abandoned their lectures should go back immediately.
The professors grumbled and stood up from their seats in response to the skeleton principal’s cruel threats.
But there were also people who didn’t wake up.
Principal Skeleton looked at Professor Boladi and said as if he was dumbfounded.
…Professor Bagrek. Get back quickly before they hang you upside down and kick you out.
“??”
Why are you embarrassed? I am the one who would be embarrassed!
