“Why do you suddenly come and say something out of the blue?”

Yustav was questioning Yeon Seong-jin, asking where on earth he had seen him.

I just told the truth. I designed it by combining the patterns I saw in magic books and alchemy books in my own unique way.

However, Yustav seemed to know that, and observed me as if I was a liar. Since I was the other person, I couldn’t argue with him, so I just gave up.

“Ah… My eyes are watering, really.”

“Confucius, no matter how much you borrow the power of divine power, hurting your body in this way can cause big problems later.”

Manuel, who was supposed to treat the side effects of the vitality potion and caffeine, said to me as he belatedly cast heal.

‘This is also because of the monster old man who suddenly came.’

I almost collapsed because of Eustaph, who happened to visit just when I was experiencing side effects.

It was a shame that I barely managed to finish serving the customer with superhuman patience. If it had lasted just a little longer, I might have really fainted.

“It will still be okay.”

This is not just something to say. Even with my old, tired body from my previous life, I endured publishing webtoons for nearly a year.

Comparing Rupert’s healthy body with the help of divine power that surpasses even modern medicine, it was clear that he would still have some spare time.

‘By the way, that red hair… ‘You said Xenia, right?’

I don’t know why, but it keeps catching my eye. I feel like I’m missing something important.

For a moment, I was a redhead, and when I thought about it, a good idea occurred to me.

What if we featured a red-haired boy as the main character in ?

In this world, red hair is an object of persecution and contempt, so it is quite possible that the protagonist of a children’s book goes through that pitiful ordeal.

And Xenia, who had just become Yustav’s disciple, was the perfect model.

Maybe it’s because he’s still young, but he has a slightly androgynous feel, but his body looks somewhat thin and pitiful.

However, her face was beautiful, making her suitable as the main character of a children’s book.

Of course, since she is a woman, she has to transform into a man.

“There is no way that only bad things happen.”

I immediately ran to the studio because I had an inspiration for the main character of a children’s book that I had been stuck on.

***

Xenia’s heart was pounding and she felt like she was going crazy.

‘I never thought I could actually meet him!’

It was clearly a miracle that had come to him when he held the hand of his teacher who asked him if he would follow him.

A miracle like a fairy appearing to Cinderella and Snow White meeting the seven dwarves.

After following Master, his life changed 180 degrees.

Instead of ignoring or despising me, I received envious or respectful looks, and I was able to eat luxurious food instead of leftovers.

Above all, she was now able to perform magic like Erza from .

The magic taught by the teacher seemed so easy and simple to me that it was nothing more than a fun game.

People around me would be surprised just by doing such an easy task.

-As expected, I am Yustav’s last chosen disciple!

-The other students were great too, but this was on another level…

-Are they really descendants of the legendary Eldor clan?

People who say they are descendants of Eldor.

Actually, I didn’t even know what El Dor was, but I learned about it recently while studying under a teacher.

The first dragonian, Crasus Eldor, is said to have been born when a dragon fell in love with a human.

It was said that he was the strongest wizard in history who could not be matched by humans simply because he inherited half of the blood of a dragon.

However, it happened so long ago that it was already considered a legend, but the teacher said that I must be a descendant of Eldor.

A dragon heart that was inside my body that I didn’t even know about. He was surprised that although it was very small, it clearly had a dragon heart.

‘In the end, I couldn’t even get a signature… .’

But more than all those compliments, I was most happy to see Sir Rupert Somerset, the author of children’s books and comic books.

The first thing I did with the allowance I received after becoming Master’s disciple was to officially purchase the books he had created.

A beautiful picture that is on a different level from the fake children’s books I’ve seen before.

It was so beautiful that the night after reading a proper fairy tale book, I could even dream of the world of the fairy tale unfolding.

And tears flowed when I had my own comic book instead of the village’s public comic book.

Now that I can read, his story feels even more meaningful.

So this time, when Master told me that he was visiting the Earl of Somerset, I begged him to come with me unconditionally.

I was really surprised when I saw him in person.

‘You look just like the prince from The Little Mermaid!’

My heart was racing, but I wanted to at least get signatures on the books I brought.

His expression was so dark and tired that I couldn’t even talk to him.

It’s okay though. Just seeing him in person was a great blessing.

‘If I learn magic harder, I can… .’

I could not even imagine that he was a nobleman whom I could not dare to surpass, but my teacher said that in the future, I would be treated more favorably than most nobles.

What if I could become that kind of person?

Wouldn’t it be possible for me to love her like a storybook heroine?

“As expected, you are Eustaf. I never thought you would be able to interpret this Yeon Seong-jin.”

“I was lucky. I also had a hard time verifying whether this is actually the method used, but I am sure it is exactly as it appears in the comic book.”

-Yeonseongjin is an equivalent exchange of life force and something else!

At Yustav’s words, the expression of Harun, the head of the Alchemy Guild, darkened.

After learning about it, I felt through repeated research, but this was truly a very dangerous technique.

The combination of magic and alchemy is actually not the first time.

However, big problems always occurred in those attempts, and the method was abandoned because no connection could be found.

This new form of Yeonseongjin, which appeared out of nowhere, solved that connection very simply.

“So what did the writer answer?”

“He played it off and said it was just a coincidence.”

Nonsense. Is it a coincidence that you drew such an elaborate Yeon Seong-jin?

It would be more realistic for a dragon to suddenly appear in the imperial palace and emit its breath.

“I thought he was cursed because his complexion looked unusual.”

“What if it’s a curse? No way!”

“Yes, it led me to think that those evil warlocks might have appeared again.”

Harun broke into a cold sweat at Yustav’s words. Didn’t all the warlocks already become extinct after being accused of exploiting the continent?

Certainly, if those writers were involved, there was a lot of room for major problems to arise.

“No matter how you look at it, it seems like a problem that cannot be solved on our own.”

“I think so too. I guess I need help from the imperial family… .”

The end of Yustav’s words could not help but become blurred.

In fact, since he had no clear evidence, he felt it was too weak to bring this up in front of the emperor.

In order for the emperor to issue an order directly, there had to be sufficient justification and evidence, but that was not enough.

However, it was too unpleasant to just ignore, so I couldn’t help but pay attention.

“How about you and I conduct research together?”

“Speaking of research… Do you mean to find out what their goal is?”

“Okay, since I can’t find any evidence, I need to know their purpose before I can do anything.”

Yustav and Harun immediately moved to the laboratory with the comic book in hand, and it was the moment when the union of the empire’s best wizard and alchemist was formed.

“Edric, I never thought you would be the kind of kid who would do something like this.”

Iolin Bell’s expression distorted.

The person she was looking at with eyes burning with anger was none other than the Third Prince Edric.

“I didn’t want to go this far either.”

“But why… !!!”

“That’s right, you should have finished the work when I only asked for illustrations!”

Edric shouted with an expression that said he had no choice.

But Iolin was just dumbfounded.

“Sell this sister out with just an illustration?!”

“I’m already finished talking with Ayton. I’ll take your limited edition illustration.”

As soon as Edric finished speaking, the palace maids came to Iolin’s side and carefully grabbed her arms.

“No! No it doesn’t work!!! That’s it… .”

Iolin tried with all her might to stop the maids, but she was unable to get the maids to leave, and other maids searched her room and took out children’s books and comic books hidden in various places.

I had to watch with my eyes open as all the custom-made books, all kinds of children’s books, and even , written by Rupert himself, just for the princess, were all taken away.

“How could such a cruel thing be done…? .”

“Her Royal Highness, are you saying you made a mistake that would get caught anyway?”

Iolin was already lost and couldn’t even reply as he watched his treasures disappear.

Ayton’s words were already unable to elicit any response from her.

“Keuhum, what is the promised item?”

Edric spoke carefully to Ayton with a humble expression.

Ayton took out several carefully wrapped pieces of paper from his arms and handed them over.

“Oh… Is this a limited edition illustration of the Ice Kingdom?”

Edric quickly hugged it in his arms and quickly left the princess’s palace. Ayton, who was watching this, sighed.

-Aton, do you know? How did your sister secretly purchase this new comic book?

The third prince came to see him and secretly proposed a deal.

I had no choice but to accept the offer to hand over limited edition illustrations to my sister, who would tell me how she secretly purchased comic books.

It was a pity to see the princess’s ecstatic expression, but she couldn’t bear to see the princess’s disobedience any longer, so she took away all the books with a heartbreaking feeling.

‘Huh, now that I think about it, I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince’s servant was also there.’

There was no reason to worry about the crown prince since he was not the person he served.

In any case, I had a feeling that this comic book plague that had hit the imperial palace would cause quite a bit of trouble.
