Chapter 316
The young students from knight families bowed their heads in shame.
“Why… Ah. It doesn’t matter now. What happened to subjugation?”
bang!
The lower side of the adventurer’s guild door, which was kicked too much today, was broken.
The priests who rushed in were shocked and apologized.
“sorry! I’m in a hurry… I’m ready, so you can leave right away. Subjugation…”
“Wait. Let’s all calm down and share information with each other.”
Daihal said calmly.
I felt like I needed to clear things up a bit.
* * *
“…so while Mr. Wodanaz held the ghoul king, the other students here destroyed the relic he housed.”
I couldn’t believe it, but once the people gathered in the place succeeded in organizing what had happened.
Durgyu said.
“Actually, Lee Han killed the ghoul king before we destroyed it…”
“Did you say he killed him?”
As the quill danced madly on the paper, Lee Han stepped on Therugyu’s foot and said,
“It is an alter ego. alter ego. I didn’t kill him, I just temporarily incapacitated him.”
Anrago asked as if he did not understand.
“Didn’t that kill you?”
“……”
Lee Han tried to hit Angrago once with his cane, but stopped.
How long had he slept while lecturing at Ein Lorgard before he said such a thing?
A knight from the Knights of Granden City asked with a slightly embarrassed expression.
“Isn’t that what killed you?”
“…no.”
The priest next to him whispered and explained instead.
“It’s a situation where the body was left in the artifact and the clone was released, so it’s not usually said that they killed it.”
“Aha… but isn’t that what it is?”
“Wizards are a bit sensitive to the use of terminology, aren’t they? Please be considerate.”
After killing the ghoul king, Lee Han felt a headache he had never felt before.
It was a conversation as if there was a wall between them.
Common sense like that…
“So, after Mr. Wodanaz defeated the ghoul alter ego, the students here destroyed the artifact…” “ Actually, it was
also Wodanaz who destroyed the artifact…”
The guild clerk Blanche, who was listening, asked casually.
“Then what did you do?”
“……”
“…Sorry.”
“Oh no! Not to blame! You can’t blame only the first-year students!”
Lee Han said while rubbing his forehead with a tired expression.
“I couldn’t have destroyed it if my friends hadn’t found the artifact and destroyed all the obstacles.”
“That… that’s right! We did that!”
It was only then that Anrago seemed to have regained some confidence. The Knight of the Knights asked so that only Ang could be heard.
“But why are you wearing that sign?”
“We…they… jumped out on their own…”
“When?”
“When you fight the king of ghouls…?”
“When that friend from the Wardanaz family is fighting?”
“Yes…”
The knight looked at Anrago with contempt for the filthiest filth in the world.
My friends were fighting, but I threw it away and ran out by themselves?
“Oh no! I have circumstances!”
“Don’t talk. It smells ugly.”
“Because there’s a real reason…!”
Daihal said after tidying up.
“You really worked hard. Instead of sending a punitive force, we will send someone first to check the situation in the cave. I think you should take a break first…”
Daihal winked at the crowd.
It meant that we should stop harassing the first-year students who were already exhausted enough, send them away, and then let the rest of us deal with the work.
“Let’s do that.”
“That seems right.”
At the seat, Lee Han suddenly thought of it and spoke to the clerk.
“ah. I have something to tell you.”
“No matter what…”
Lee Han carefully put down his backpack and took out what was inside with delicate movements.
Blanche and the others were very nervous, wondering if there might be other fragments of the evil being.
“This is geranium flower seolakcho jammuk. It was collected with the roots and leaves intact, so please check it. And this is a rapella rat.”
“…ah… yes…”
Blanche was confused inwardly as she wrote down the papers.
‘how…?’
* * *
After Lee Han and his friends went back for a break, the remaining people gathered and made a plan to check the situation in the cave.
“In case you don’t know, I’ll also send a request for support to Einrogard.”
“I sent a request for support during the last plague commotion, will it be okay? Einrogard might be a bit reluctant…”
“No. More than anything else, it’s something involving Einrogard’s students, and it’s something you’ve solved yourself, so there’s no way you’d hate it. The magicians of Ein Rogard are not like that.”
Daihal spoke calmly, saying things that the professors of Ein Lorgard would grab by the throat if they heard them.
In the meantime, Blanche organized the testimonies of other adventurers and mercenaries.
In fact, compared to Lee Han’s cold and concrete testimony, their testimonies were rather messy.
This was especially the case with the testimonies of the mercenaries who attacked first and were caught.
“So you said you would kill me if Buddha didn’t follow me?”
“yes. Uh huh.”
“All these people under one threat?”
“Ugh. That’s how bad it is…”
“If you keep saying shit, I’ll call the interrogator and interrogate you, not me.”
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry.”
After organizing the testimony of the mercenaries, Blanche looked at Gubon and Vizidek with eyes mixed with anticipation.
Why did the guild recommend these two?
It was because he was a seasoned veteran.
Of course, a calm report…
“The mercenaries were bound with bone handcuffs and brought in. ah. And I also summoned the Bone Hand.”
“When the evil spirit appeared, I fired lightning magic in succession, but when he avoided it, it immediately
turned into flames…”
“The evil spirit tried to extinguish the flames, but he swung his staff again…”
“Wait. for a moment.”
Blanche realized something was strange and restrained the adventurers.
“No matter how much you think about casting magic, isn’t it too much? How many potions did you use along the way?”
“…I don’t think I wrote it…?”
“What… no matter how much I think about it, it’s such a waste. Especially if you didn’t use potion…”
“Wasn’t that wizard originally like this? When I was camping, they lit a fire and brought me water…”
“When I entered the cave, the light…”
“What did you do???”
Blanche dropped her quill, doubting her ears.
No, these adventurers were making the wizard do some chores??
* * *
“Ugh.”
Lee Han got up from the bed in pain.
Even though I rested all weekend, my body still felt sore.
It was fortunate that it was at this level rather than fighting like that with the king of ghouls.
Lee Han remembered his friends in the White Tiger Tower.
‘Except Durgyu, I hope the rest suffer from muscle pain more.’
He must have been lying in bed by now, moaning, since he had used several strengthening magics.
“Wouldn’t it be better to get some rest?”
Allarron came running as soon as he heard that Lee Han had happened.
I heard the news that you had a fight with the evil being in the cave, but I couldn’t help but worry.
“are you okay. kyung. There is no problem moving.”
“But…”
“But what about the cave thing?”
“They say the verification is over. As a result of the search, no evil magic was found, so it must have been completely reverse summoned. It is certain that the wizards of Einrogard also came to the aid.”
“Einrogard’s wizards also volunteered?”
“yes. Isn’t that something related to magic? Even students are involved. Of course you have to participate.”
“……”
Lee Han tilted his head.
‘Professors don’t think so.’
“Really… I’m glad.”
Allarron said in a worried voice.
“I heard that the opponent was not so easy. It was very fortunate that I was able to win without getting hurt like this.”
“I was lucky. I also had help from other friends.”
As a matter of etiquette, Lee Han inserted his friends from the White Tiger Tower.
“The Adventurers Guild sent me a gift as an apology and thanks.”
“…Coming to think of it, my role seems to have been a bit bigger, but by any chance the adventurer’s guild is properly recognizing that?”
“yes? Of course you will be aware of it.”
Allarlong did not understand why Lee Han was acting like that. Lee Han regretted it.
‘shit. I should have inflated my balls a little more.’
Come to think of it, the adventurer’s guild is also a place where people live, and if they do a much better job than the given request, they won’t take care of it.
If I had known this would happen, I thought of lowering my friends from the White Tiger Tower a little more.
“I’ll have to go check it out.”
“Do you have any plans today?”
“ah. The day I go to the Meikin family alchemy workshop.”
“You value friendship with your friends and don’t neglect your studies. I am just happy.”
“…uh… well… that’s right. I.”
Lee Han was slightly embarrassed.
I’m going there because I paid a lot of silver coins…
* * *
‘It’s heavy.’
Lee Han was pleased when he checked the silver coin he received after completing the request before going out.
It was a prejudice that since you are an adventurer, you have to live a prodigal life where you earn a lot and spend a lot.
Soon, a new era of adventurers who earn big and consume efficiently will come.
‘I’ll take the White Tiger Tower guys out again when they recover.’
After stacking the silver coins one by one and putting them in the safe, Lee Han reached for another box.
The small box made of antique brown wood raised expectations just by looking at it. It was a gift from the Adventurer’s Guild.
‘Gold coins, golden statues, gold plaques, anything made of gold would be nice.’
Click!
Inside the box was a ring and brief instructions.
I dedicate this < Lightning Emission > ring with sincere gratitude to Han Lee of the Wardanaz family, who has completed everything from valuable to trivial quests for his own honor.
“Uh…”
Lee Han put on the ring.
Then, as written in the manual, the magic was cast.
“Summon the lightning, O ring.”
One of the three jewels in the ring has lost its color.
It says that it can be used 3 times a day, but it seems that one of them has been used up.
A streak of lightning flying out of the window.
It was a very useful artifact that could easily shoot lightning without consuming mana, but…
“……”
‘It’s a magic you already know.’
Lee Han was disappointed with the magic that was no different from what he had done.
Rather, it was more inconvenient because it was already imprinted with magic, so detailed manipulation was impossible.
‘What is this… no.’
Lee Han, who was about to complain, changed his mind.
Come to think of it, lightning-type magic is quite difficult to handle among elemental magic, but it was imprinted on the ring.
This ring must be quite valuable.
‘I have to sell it.’
If other students had heard of it, they would have said, ‘Why are you selling that useful artifact!?’, but not Lee Han.
It’s magic that I already know how to use, and it’s overflowing with magic power, but I don’t have to…
‘Ah. that’s right.’
Lee Han went through the things he had brought from school.
I had a sudden thought.
‘Where is it…Here it is.’
A helmet emerged from the dusty luggage.
It was the Ego Artifact Helm of Wisdom found in the underground dungeon of Ein Rogard.
…Now you called me…
The Helm of Wisdom seemed to be very angry for some reason.
