Margrave’s Bastard Son was The Emperor Chapter 22

Episode 22. teacher

“I have a favor to ask you.”

The teacher paused at Ian’s words. He was penniless and had nothing. Although he is said to be a bastard, he is probably a more insignificant person than Ian, who is a pawn. But what on earth can he expect from himself?

“which… … ?”

“Please meet with your father sometime next week. It doesn’t matter what the content is, but the location is in the garden, not the office. And about 30 minutes would be a good time.”

So much so that he could secretly enter the office in the meantime. Since the seal had to be stamped, the time required to melt the wax was also included.

The teacher looked like he had no idea what was going on.

“You don’t have to know. “For more details.”

“Well, if that’s enough, will you keep your relationship with Lord Molin a secret?”

“of course. “Even trying to rob the butler’s room.”

“no! “I really have a misunderstanding!”

The teacher jumped up and threw up his hands. When you say something like that in a situation where you’ve already been caught, it seems like you had something else on your mind.

“then?”

“I didn’t mean to steal your valuables-”

The teacher gaped. The confession rose up to her throat, but she seemed unable to spit it out. When Ian gave her a warm look, she couldn’t help but sigh and vomit.

“I needed a pass.”

“Pass?”

“Civilians are prohibited from entering the front line of the Brac Territory. For me, it was a must because it was a place where I could see the great desert with my own eyes. In particular, observation between towers 3 and 4 is needed, but the Count does not allow it for safety reasons.”

But what if the butler has a pass?

Since it was taken directly by Derga, there were no restrictions. That’s because if something were to happen to the count, the butler would have to act as his agent. The teacher tried to steal the deacon’s pass to ensure the completion of the research.

“is it so?”

Ian rested his chin and thought deeply. I’ve seen so many people crazy about one topic. Even if life breaks down, the will to research rarely breaks.

“How far has the research progressed?”

“It’s already been a long time since I came here. “We have measured almost all of the climate changes in Brac, and now we plan to go to Blaster and conduct research again.”

The topic of the thesis was . Of course, you will have to go there and spend some extra time there.

At that moment, an interesting thought occurred to me.

“is it so? “Then let’s ask just one question.”

“Something… … .”

“In late spring, I must leave here and enter the Great Desert, the Tianli tribe’s camp. “Can you calculate the climate at that time?”

Just because it’s a desert doesn’t mean it’s hot all year round day and night. With temperatures reaching extremes, how much can sand typhoons blow?

The teacher muttered in embarrassment at Ian’s question.

“It’s difficult to be precise. “It takes some time.”

“it’s okay. Anyway, I only need to know until I leave. “I think there’s a map desert as well.”

“It was 10 years ago, but it still exists.”

“I wish you would prepare it separately. “Then I will get you a pass.”

“yes? “A pass?”

Since a stamp is essential for a pass, you just need to stamp another one while stamping the original one.

The teacher blinked at Ian’s confident attitude. He heard it, but he didn’t seem to understand it.

“How is it? “If you tell me everything about the desert, I think I can also give everything to you.”

“Well, I would appreciate it if you could just do that.”

Ian smiled brightly and held out his hand.

“great. Then let’s make a deal.”

The teacher stared at the child’s hand.

Can I hold it? Could it be that there is another ulterior motive? Ian’s life is in the hands of Derga, and if he cooperates with this side for no reason, won’t he be punished by being beheaded for his banishment? As a scholar, I had no way of knowing anything about this.

“I’m trying to live like that, and wouldn’t you want to live like you are? “Aren’t you going to cross the border as soon as you use the pass anyway?”

“… you’re right.”

If so, there is no reason to hesitate any longer. Even if a problem arises, you will be crossing the great desert.

The teacher held Ian’s hand with determined eyes. I never thought the transaction between a middle-aged person and a child would be so solemn. Ian smiled brightly and pointed towards her desk.

“Then, teacher. “Shall we talk about it in more detail while we study?”

* * *

The excuse for the teacher to summon the derga was determined.

He suddenly quit being a tutor. It wasn’t a lie, since I was leaving Brac as soon as I got the pass anyway.

Ian looked back at Hannah as he stuffed the wet handkerchief into his pocket. Thick leather gloves are also essential.

“Hannah. “What did you ask for?”

“Here it is.”

It was only Beric who was whispering, but his voice was very cautious. Hannah took out a wooden key that fit comfortably in her hand. One was for the office and the other was for a drawer safe.

“I told the carpenter that I would pay the price sometime next week. In fact, even if it’s late, you might just say that a bottle of alcohol is fine and move on.”

After that day, Hannah hid in the butler’s room again. She used clay to create a template for her key, and requested that it be made using wood, which is an insulating material. There was even rubber liquid spread on the outside.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Then I’ll just leave.”

Squeak.

After Hannah left, Ian checked his watch. The appointed time with the teacher is almost here. While Derga’s office was empty, she had to quickly place two seals.

“Are you ready?”

“ha. “Why did I do something like this?”

Crack, crackle!

Beric grunted but followed behind Ian. The skill of reducing presence is quite good. While the two left the annex and entered the upper floor of the main building, they did not encounter anyone. I came back, but it was thanks to Hannah telling me the schedule of the employees.

“It’s over there.”

I saw the back of a familiar man’s head through the window. Derga walking ahead and the teacher next to him. Even the butlers were very well put together. When the teacher said something in a panic, Derga immediately looked uncomfortable.

“Now you stay safe here. “No one can be sent up until I come out.”

Jiying-

And the magic power flowing through him. As Ian’s golden eyes shone, her hair flew. Beric laughed as he felt his blood rushing.

“You look like you want someone to come.”

“Does it look like that? “Good to see you.”

“It’s important. Berwick. “I can’t handle it if I get into an accident.”

“If they find out anyway, they’re going to cut me off. “I mean.”

Beric waved his hand as if he was annoyed. If something went wrong and someone approached him, his role was to create a commotion and draw attention. The natural scenario would be that he tried to steal the gold coins from Chell’s room downstairs.

“I’ll be out soon.”

For that reason, Ian pushed the limit of magical power into Beric’s body. So that you can run away easily, or even if you get whipped, you can recover faster than before.

Crack, crackle!

Squeak.

Ian entered the office using the key he had prepared. I haven’t been here much lately, but nothing has changed.

Percussion!

He went straight to Derga’s desk without hesitation. Then he opened the largest drawer and looked inside.

‘there is.’

A groove in the gap. There was a hole in a place where you could push a diamond right out of the way. Ian carefully took out the wooden key he had prepared.

Jiying-

And just in case, I gathered all the magic power in my body. Even wood coated with rubber can be dangerous if the voltage is high. The trick was to reflexively put up a shield if other energy came through the fingertips. I don’t know if things will turn out well in the body of a bastard… … .

Click-

The feeling of the key entering the hole was neat. As I pushed it all the way in, another secret drawer appeared.

“ah.”

Inside were a seal, a magic brooch, two gold bars, and old letters. Ian knelt down and looked inside.

A wax stand was placed on top of the candle. While the spoon was heating up, Ian decided to look at the letter.

‘… ‘Is this a letter exchanged with the Cheonryeo tribe?’

Damn it, it was all written in the Cheonryo language, so it was impossible to decipher. There are words I know sporadically, but they are very fragmentary.

‘next… Woman king… Since the?’

What on earth are you talking about? Other foreign languages ​​may be fine, but the barbarian language of the border was beyond Ian’s abilities. Instead, he copied the words onto parchment, hoping to recognize them later.

Swoosh swoosh!

The spoon must have been heated, and the lump of wax melted into liquid. Ian poured wax and stamped it.

Quang! bang!

Once on the letter to be sent to the center, and once on the permission slip to be given to the teacher. After taking all the photos, I skillfully proceeded with waxing. The key was to wipe it off with a wet cotton before it hardened.

Chi profit.

The heated iron spoon cooled rapidly, emitting faint smoke. Derga, who returned, should not have felt hot, so Ian cooled her by blowing on her.

“done.”

Everything was organized smoothly. I put the items back in place and checked to see if the seal was properly stamped. You can leave now… … .

Rattling-

A popular rumor that can be heard somewhere.

Ian’s body suddenly stiffened. Is the sound coming from outside the door? no. If so, it would have had to be a little louder and more frivolous. Because it means Beric caused a commotion. Then there is only one place left… … .

“Count. Are you there?”

It is an aide’s office attached to the office. Ian hid as much as possible behind the curtain. I don’t know why the author is here. There will be no cases of being left alone in the room without Der, right?

“Count?”

Squeak.

The door to the small office inside opened, revealing the disheveled appearance of the aide. It was fortunate that it was a blackout curtain. If it had been chiffon, I might have been caught right away.

“weird. I just heard a sound… … .”

Swollen eyes, as if you just woke up. I guess I fell asleep here after working overtime yesterday, I guess.

“… … ?”

The aide must have sensed something unusual, and looked at the curtain where Ian was hiding. And he approached, taking careful steps.

Rustle.

The parchment paper Ian held in his hand was so thin that even his breathing made sounds. This made the aide even more nervous and put Ian in trouble.

“Is anyone there?”

Ian turned his head and looked out the window. Bright sky. Sunlight poured down brightly. Everything was strangely still for her. It was his habit and attitude.

Calm instead of nervous. Take action instead of worry.

Mistakes can be corrected, but failures cannot.

Jiying-

“Uuuuuuuck!”

As soon as the aide grabbed the curtain, Ian struck out a spell. Energy swirled around like condensed wind bursting.

At the same time, the aide fell backwards with a nosebleed, and the curtain he missed flew backwards, but he didn’t see who was standing there.

Coo!

He fell backwards, sprawled out with only the white of his body visible. Ian closed the curtains and quietly left the office.

“end?”

Beric, who was sitting on the stairs, jumped up when he saw Ian. Ian nodded briefly and ran down the stairs in the lead. The backs of the three men were still visible through the window. With a quick glance, the teacher looked up and made eye contact with Ian.

The calm expression on the child’s face was the answer that showed that everything was fine.
