Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 624
Episode 624
“Thank you.”
“okay. But it won’t turn out the way you think.”
Skeleton Principal gave advice plainly.
It was as clear as looking into the palm of his hand to see what the head of household was thinking.
He probably had the same thoughts as some of the ambitious people in the Empire.
-We will join hands with the Wardanaz family, the most powerful sorcerers of the empire, and take a step forward in the power structure within the empire!
These thoughts were common to all ambitious families, so there was nothing surprising in them.
Every family in the empire wanted their family to become stronger, richer, and more famous.
For such people, a family like the Wardanaj family was an attractive partner.
A great aristocratic family with a long history, strong power and wide influence.
…The problem was that the Wardanajs were not your average family wanting to get stronger, richer, and more famous.
Just as the Skeleton Headmaster didn’t aim to become the most prestigious family in the empire by establishing a family, so did the Wardanaj family. The wizards who reached the stage had no choice but to transcend the world and become aloof from the world.
Who cares about the sloppy, vexing power struggles within the empire when there is a glittering truth out there?
However, the family head in front of him didn’t care.
“The boy may have a different purpose.”
“Well, he must be more difficult to deal with…”
“…?”
* * *
“Prahgal is the god of life.”
“?”
Lee Han, who returned, doubted his ears at G-Clean’s explanation.
“Not the god of tentacles and chimeras?”
“Originally, the claim of an evil god is plausible.”
Giselle replied indifferently, looking for the battle with the Prahgal Church recorded within the family.
Originally, the claim made by the Church of Evil Gods was plausible.
If the claim is strange, why would there be fanatics?
The Church of Prahgal roughly had a doctrine of ‘Prahgal-nim is the god of life, and the current people of the empire are imperfect beings.
“Is that great and strong being a Chimera?”
“To be precise, isn’t it a chimera…? It’s close to using transformation magic with divine magic.”
As Lee Han and Giselle talked in whispers, Ziclin felt a bit sad.
I knew they were magicians, but I felt alienated from talking about them without mentioning them.
“The fact that such a demon worshiper appears means that there is a high possibility that there are other colleagues nearby.”
“yes. The knights in charge of reconnaissance are checking the surroundings. He probably already ran away.”
“How about asking the Shadow Rangers for help?”
“ha ha ha. Are you out of your mind?”
“…you don’t have to say that.”
Lee Han got a bit sullen when he was blocked from making a serious proposal.
The reaction took Giselle rather bewildered.
“…I thought you were kidding.”
“Are you okay?”
“Imagine a black turtle asking for help from the white tiger tower to solve the task assigned to it.”
“!”
Lee Han understood right away.
‘But didn’t you guys join forces if necessary?’
When necessary, they cooperated subtly, giving their own orders!
“Hmm.”
When the younger brother and his friend played only by themselves, Ziclin cleared his throat.
Only then did the two raise their heads and look at Zicline.
“What are you doing?”
“??”
“Um… um… So, I’m interrogating the captured mercenaries. Would you like to see it together?”
“Ah yes. I will gladly participate.”
“I don’t think you know much.”
“Shh. Quiet. You have been very considerate.”
“Is that your sister?”
* * *
The captured mercenaries tried to stay calm despite waking up late.
“shit. Were you a devil worshiper? I thought it was kind of generous…”
“Shh. shut up.”
Experienced mercenaries knew what to do in these situations.
It’s to keep your mouth shut, to keep quiet, and to claim that you didn’t know anything.
In this case, it was even more advantageous because I didn’t actually know anything.
The most dangerous thing is to be scared and talk and then make a strange mistake.
There is a link between evil spirit worshipers and evil spirit worshipers. If you get this kind of misunderstanding, you should now rot in an underground prison for more than ten years.
“You guys should know that too.”
“You do well. You know who the newcomer is.”
The mercenaries nailed each other hard in case of an unexpected situation.
Being afraid of the pressure from the knights and forging things that other mercenaries didn’t do, it became annoying.
“Follow me.”
The knights began interrogating the mercenaries after locking them up separately.
“Where did you meet the devil worshiper?”
“We met in the city of Champ Chantemar. knight. I really didn’t know anything. They said they would just give me money…”
“What’s your destination?”
“It was an ice port. I heard that it only takes me to the ice port… I really didn’t know! Forgive me!”
“The pay is too generous, but you didn’t suspect it?”
“Oh, how can you act as a mercenary if you suspect a client who pays generously!”
“i get it. Then tell me everything you know about devil worshipers. Anything is fine as long as there is something suspicious about it.”
“Well, okay.”
“Is there a mercenary who has talked a lot with demon worshipers?”
“I don’t even know…”
The mercenaries said only what was necessary and the rest just answered that they didn’t know as soon as they heard the question.
Trying to think of it as best I could and talking about it would only annoy me.
In addition, there was nothing good about the rumors that he was talking about the client as a mercenary.
The knights also glared at the mercenaries as if they felt that.
“These are worn-out bastards. Even though we didn’t have much time to talk, you still do the same thing.”
“I don’t think there’s anything to be gained by teasing my mouth, so I won’t say anything. Anyway, mercenaries.”
“What should I do? There may be some collusion.”
“I don’t think so. A demon worshiper wouldn’t lure a mercenary like that into his church. They’re people you can’t trust.”
“I see…”
“But continue the interrogation. I need to get even a small clue.”
“I am contemplating whether to torture or bribe.”
“Both of you are in the current situation… Oh, Mr. Ziclin!”
The knights who were talking stopped talking and greeted the visit of Giselle and Giselle Yihan.
“Now I was pausing their interrogation and planning what to do.”
“hmm.”
Zicline nodded.
“From now on, I will take over.”
“yes!”
As much as he brought his brother and his friend with him, Ziclin planned to show his ability as a knight.
“The conversation I just recorded is as follows…”
Kwajik!
When G-Clean, who was about to receive the papers, slightly collided with the wall next to him, the solid rock wall was crushed.
When the knights saw it, they cast awe-filled gazes, and the mercenaries were terrified.
Although I was prepared for torture to some extent…
‘Isn’t that an execution??’
“I made a mistake thinking about something else for a while.”
“You can!”
The mercenaries wondered what they were thinking to break the rock wall.
“hmm. So now…”
“Uh uh uh uh!”
Among the mercenaries, the one in the solitary cell closest to the entrance screamed.
The mercenary trembled as he pointed his finger at Lee Han.
“You you you…!”
“?”
“You that wizard…!”
“What are you talking about?”
Lee Han shamelessly took off his pretense.
It was because what Lee Han did in front of the other articles was known, so there was nothing good about it.
Even in Lee Han’s opinion, pretending to be friendly and putting a sleeping potion in the pot and splashing it was a bit mean.
“What nonsense is that! you are that wizard! Come to us… Wait, can we faint?! Since when! Since when did you do it? Answer me!”
The mercenary panicked and cried out.
I couldn’t even believe it myself.
That all of them fell after being tricked by such a young bastard?
I’d rather believe that the devil worshiper fell because he did something strange.
“Be quite. If you don’t keep quiet, I will punish you.”
“Ki Knight. Look at that wizard! What did that wizard do to us… to us!”
“What kind of rudeness are you saying to the grandchildren of the family, you mercenaries!”
The anger of the knights who were ignored even if they said it nicely exploded.
The door to the solitary cell opened and the knights showed the mercenary who was teasing them.
“Billion billion! big! Well done wrong! I made a mistake…! Help me!”
The interrogation hadn’t ended yet, so the knights stopped attacking in an appropriate line.
The battered mercenary looked around in complete intimidation.
‘Did I dream…? No no!’
The mercenary found a familiar knight next to the handsome wizard.
To everyone’s surprise, the Moradi family was right!
‘Since when have you been under surveillance by the Moradi family? Could it be that everything was under the supervision of the Moradi family? I can’t believe that interrogation…?’
The mercenary felt chills run down his spine.
Thinking that he had been watched from the moment he set foot in the north, he doubted whether he had actually known everything about this interrogation.
If so, just shutting up and being stubborn was the worst option.
If I did that in front of the knights I knew, I would feel guilty all at once…
“I remembered my life. In fact, that devil worshiper once said he was from the west.”
“what? Say more.”
“And… and again… Ah! Two days ago, another mercenary chatted with the demon worshiper for a few minutes. Interrogate him.”
“Ohh.”
The knights were very amazed at the mercenary’s sudden cooperation.
Why is this worn-out mercenary all of a sudden?
“Are mercenaries really that cooperative?”
“no. That’s amazing.”
At Lee Han’s question, the knights were surprised because they did not know the reason.
G-Clean, who was wearing the gauntlet, gave a sad look.
I wanted to show my ability as a knight in front of my younger brother and his friend… * *

After hunting and interrogation, Lee Han was resting while teaching his juniors at the hostel.
“okay. Eandurde. This herb is an edible herb. This is a poisonous weed that should not be eaten. It will be useful when I go to school.”
“Edible herbs!”
“And there are often huts along the river. If the hut is unoccupied, break down the door and check under the ledge. Usually the professor builds a door to the cellar there.”
“…?”
Alcicle, who was next to him, questioned the vicious conversation between the two.
what kind of conversation is that?
“Mrs. Wardanaz. Are you inside?”
“Are you a guest again?”
“Isn’t this all because of Alcicle!”
Lee Han grumbled.
In order to get out by himself, he threw all the stories that the knights had no stories about, so customers kept coming.
“I’m sorry. But you didn’t say anything that wasn’t there…”
“Is that important now!”
“Hing.”
Alcicle looked at Lee Han.
It seemed that the betrayal from the last time had been quite bitter, and even eating sardines hadn’t healed it.
“Someone wants to meet Mr. Wardanaz…”
“Yes. Please come in.”
Lee Han answered the attendant’s words by roughly cleaning the top of the desk.
It was expected that the knights would come in again.
But when the door opened, only one person came in. It was an elf knight with a cold impression.
Lee Han couldn’t believe that he had an impression that resembled Giselle or G-Clean somewhere.
“Maybe…”
“This is Giduff from the Moradi family. Welcome guests who have come a long way.”
“Hick.”
Alcicle hiccupped in surprise when he saw that the head of the Moradi family had arrived.
‘What did you do?’
‘I didn’t do anything!’
‘…I heard they caught a demon worshiper yesterday?’
‘…I didn’t do anything except that!’
Alcicle swore that he would never believe this boy from the Wodanaz family even if he said ‘I didn’t do anything’.
