Chapter 392
“Professor. No matter how you think about it, taking care of basilisk eggs in a dorm is unreasonable. If it hatches by mistake…”
“By mistake?”
“…Anyway, even hatching could cause an accident.”
I wanted to step on Professor Verdus’ instep, but the distance was a bit far. Lee Han was sorry.
“But I was advised by an expert that you are better off.”
“What mad expert…? no sorry Excuse me, but who are you?”
Lee Han wondered if the skeleton headmaster had said such bullshit.
“Professor Lightningstep.”
“……”
Lee Han listened closely to Professor Boladi’s explanation, trying to stay as calm as possible.
According to the explanation, Professor Lightning Walk seemed to be answering Professor Voladi’s question as sincerely as possible.
However, no matter how diligently you write it down, growing and growing something requires interest and sense that goes beyond theory.
Concerned, the lightning-footed professor said:
– Wouldn’t it be better to just leave it to the disciple?
-indeed.
Professor Voladi decided to respect the expert’s opinion.
“I see… but Professor. Professor Lightning Step is not telling me to take him to the dormitory and raise him.”
“is it?”
“Compromise and raise them in a third space. There must be a lot of things to prepare to take care of the basilisk anyway…”
Lee Han thought about where would be good.
Professor Thunderwalk’s cabin was also a pretty good option.
It’s located away from the surroundings, and it’s good to do additional work…
‘Hmm. It won’t do any good to upset the grocer.’
However, due to Professor Thunderstruck’s personality, there was a high possibility that he would vomit if he told him to take care of basilisk eggs in his favorite cabin.
Lee Han gave up and opened his mouth.
“I’ll get the place, so you two build it.”
“uh? I?”
“…I hear you’re getting the ingredients.”
“What does that have to do with it?”
Professor Verdus asked, sincerely not understanding.
Lee Han smiled at the appearance of a genius trying to transcend the concept of transaction.
And I asked Professor Voladi.
“professor. Please convince me.”
“i get it.”
A minute later Professor Verdus was persuaded.

“Hot during the day and cold at night… I think we need a fireplace as well as a space to enhance the cold magic.”
“Heat Enhanced Cold Enhanced. Both are magic without any fun.”
Ignoring Professor Verdus’s words, Lee Han moved on.
‘You’ll need a lot of water, so a place near a stream would be nice. Since it’s a basilisk, I think I’ll have to go somewhere less crowded… Professor Verdus will take care of the materials.’
The good thing about building with a magician or an outstanding endowment wizard was this.
Lee Han made a decision after going up north from the main building and combing through the forest at the beginning of the mountain range.
“Please build it here.”
“okay.”
Professor Verdus waved his staff without saying anything. In an instant, the floor was hardened and dug deep, and the logs piled up and began to take the shape of a house.
Although not wide, a fairly comfortable log cabin was quickly completed. Professor Verdus cast fire-strengthening magic on the fireplace and cold-strengthening magic on the opposite side.
‘Should I store groceries here after raising all the basilisks?’
It seemed like a waste to just throw away such a well-built building.
Yihan carefully set the basilisk egg down in the middle of the log cabin. I could feel the energy of life wriggling inside.
“really. Shouldn’t we keep the intruders out?”
“Professor Kyo…!”
“why?”
“I was surprised. I never thought the professor would think that way.”
Lee Han was honestly surprised.
Of course, since it was a basilisk-raising hut, I was thinking of asking the surroundings to cast a detection obstruction or direction confusion spell to prevent other students from coming.
But Professor Verdus did it himself.
Professor Verdus replied smugly.
“of course. What if someone else steals the basilisk?”
“…That’s right.”
Lee Han canceled his surprise. Professor Verdus cast his magic regardless.
“If you don’t follow the trees marked in red, you will lose your way.”
“indeed.”
“what are you doing right now?”
“I am making a meal for the basilisk.”
Lee Han poured the basilisk feed that Professor Lightning Step had made into a pot and boiled it with water. A foul smell permeated the log cabin.
Basilisks require a lot of nutrition to hatch. According to the old literature, it is written that ‘seven chickens, four sheep, five pigs, two bulls, and sixteen fish should be caught and fed to the eggs a day’, but it is not necessary if the feed is formulated in the correct way
… I am truly grateful to Professor Lightning Step.
If it wasn’t for that, Lee Han would have had to bring it all.
“It doesn’t smell good. Do I really need to make this?”
“It’s okay if I catch seven chickens, four sheep, five pigs, two bulls, and sixteen fish.”
“okay. To work hard.”
“…I won’t. I will give you this.”
“why?!”
Lee Han ignored Professor Verdus’ words and started feeding the eggs.
The basilisk eggs absorbed the boiled fodder like a sponge sucking up water.
‘Do you like it?’
As the egg trembled slightly, I felt waves of magical power flowing out. He wasn’t sure, but he seemed satisfied with his meal.
Lee Han, who was carefully feeding the eggs, called Professor Verdus to prepare for the next task.
“professor. Give me some food, please.”
Professor Verdus grumbled at the smell and raised the ladle.
Then the egg trembled again and emitted a wave. This time the reaction was quite negative.
“…professor. I’ll just do it.”
Lee Han took the ladle away because he didn’t want to. Al then reduced his negative reaction.
‘To be hated by a basilisk that hasn’t even been born yet.’
I was honestly surprised.
If that was a skill, it was a skill.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“it’s nothing. professor. Next up… Magical power.”
The work of injecting mana periodically.
For other wizards, it was a nuisance to have their precious magical energy taken away periodically every day… but
for Lee Han, it was the easiest task.
Wow!
I could feel that Al was more happy than before. Maybe it was because Professor Verdus was distant.
‘Professor Verdus might have to be separated.’
If I kept giving stress to the basilisk for no reason and his personality became weird, only Lee Han would be hurt.
Knock Knock –
“Are you here?”
Lee Han opened the log cabin door. Professor Voladi was standing with an armful of groceries.
“What did you bring… canned food? Do you still have the basilisk food?”
“You will eat this.”
“!”
While Lee Han was impressed, Professor Boladi came inside.
Then he pulled Professor Verdus from the armchair and piled groceries in his place.
Various canned meat fish and canned pickled fruits. And things like coffee and sugar also went up on top of each other.
“professor…!”
“You’ll need food to stay here and take care of the basilisk.”
“…professor. I will go back to the dormitory that evening.”
Lee Han replied with a straight face.
* * *
Dinner.
As he did last time, Lee Han called the White Tiger Tower students and started clearing the warehouse.
The only difference was that the students at the White Tiger Tower were taking a sigh at a time.
“Huh…”
“……”
“If there was a golem…” ”
…”
“Oops… there is no golem anymore…” ”
…if it’s repaired tomorrow… it works I was busy today.”
Despite Lee Han’s words, the White Tiger Tower students did not stop grumbling.
“What did you do while you’re busy? Isn’t that what studying is?”
“Magic is important, but they don’t know what’s really important. Wardanaz does not know the human heart.”
“…I spent time preparing to hatch the basilisk eggs after receiving the professor’s order. Are you okay?”
“……”
“……”
The students of the White Tiger Tower suddenly became solemn.
‘I told you that Wodanaz has a story too.’
“By the way, Mr. Wodanaz.”
“What’s going on, Priestess Cyana?”
When Ciana, the priest of the Flemain Church’s snake beast, spoke to him, Lee Han turned his head away.
“You did work last time, so you don’t have to do it today.”
“ah. But since you came late and came from other towers, I want to do more.”
If it was the Blue Dragon Tower, they would never have shown this kind of kindness, but the priests of the Phoenix Tower deserved this kind of kindness.
However, Priest Cyana firmly shook her head.
“I have a problem.”
“what?”
“Originally, it was time to pray, but you are taking away your prayer time because of this.”
“That… that’s right.”
“Now it’s my turn… Did I have no choice but to come because the people of the White Tiger Tower asked me to work with them?”
“What the…!”
“no!”
The students of the White Tiger Tower were unhappy with the absurd misunderstanding.
If Lee Han had dragged them out, they would have dragged them out.
It was so unfair that I couldn’t even speak properly.
“But I don’t think there are many reasons why you keep coming out of things that don’t need to come out… Besides, it seems like you pressured me to fix the golem earlier…” “It’s
not pressure, it’s a request!”
“Yes… A lot of people say that.”
Priest Shiana said as if she didn’t believe it at all.
The students of the White Tiger Tower couldn’t believe why they were being questioned like this.
Who would hit whom when they said there were wodhanaj and white tiger tower students?
One hundred and one hundred Wardanaz was the culprit.
“You know how strong Wardanaz is!”
“But I heard that wizards are slow to cast, so they are often beaten by knights.”
“…That’s true, but that kind of disadvantage doesn’t mean anything to Wardanaj! He’s the one who ambush me first if he wants!”
“There’s no way Wardanaz-nim would do that. How polite you are.”
“……”
“……”
The White Tiger Tower students, as well as Lee Han, were a bit embarrassed.
I never thought that the compliments you gave me every time we met would come back like this.
What was surprising was that the other priests agreed with that.
“you’re right. There’s no way Wardanaz-sama would do such an ambush.”
“No… I do.”
“Are you telling white lies because you don’t want the people of the White Tiger Tower to be embarrassed?”
“It’s not like that, it’s for real…”
Lee Han explained as kindly as possible.
“I really came out to do it together, not to threaten. The golem was requested by the other side.”
“yes. what. okay.”
“If you say so…”
Lee Han realized that explaining it now wouldn’t do much good.
I could hear the other priests working next to me whispering.
-Did the White Tiger Tower forcefully drag Lee Han from the Wodanaz family?
-Well… I don’t want to make a hasty guess, but judging from the way you’re treating me right now…
“…Hey. Wodanaz. You go and rest.”
“But I called you guys and I’m sorry if I’m the only one taking a break.”
“Now is the time to talk like that!”
The White Tiger Tower students learned one thing.
It might be more unfair to be called the one who threatened Wardanaz than to be called the one who was threatened by Wardanaz!
