Chapter 416
“What’s Happening Here?”
“ah. because of the order. really. Let me introduce you. hey. everyone. This is the Archmage. what i said last time Do you remember?”
“……”
“……”
When Gubon and Vizidek introduced Lee Han to the adventurers behind them, both Lee Han and Angra hardened.
“I’m not a great wizard…”
“Ah. Isn’t it?”
“is not it?”
They say that adventurers will never meet a wizard, but when even Angrago tilted his head, Lee Han contemplated whether to hit him.
“Who are you talking about? If it’s the wizard you mentioned, Gubon… Huh!”
One of the adventurers opened his eyes wide as if he had remembered. Gubon looked at his colleague with an expression asking if he had remembered it.
“Did you mean the sound of joining the party together, standing guard with magic, lighting fire with magic, summoning water with magic, cooking with magic, and attacking the cave with magic!?”
“I thought Gubon looked down on me and was talking nonsense…” “
……”
As the adventurers murmured, Gubon’s face turned red.
What kind of disgrace is this in front of a wizard who is infinitely close to the great wizard?
“Why am I talking nonsense!! Are you ignoring me!?”
“Oh no. sorry. It sounded so absurd.”
“I don’t know anything about wizards, but I do know that what you said was strange.”
“Keugh…! Who are these idiots in front of…! You may have heard of the wizard who recently subdued the king of ghouls! That’s this person!”
“The king of ghouls?!”
The adventurers were even more astonished.
Adventurers who traveled around the empire had a lot of things to hear about.
Recently, when I returned to Granden City, I heard about the king of ghouls at a bar a few times.
“No, why is such a wizard with you Gubon…?”
“I’m not disrespecting Gubon’s skills, but aren’t you an adventurer enough to serve the Archmage?”
“……”
As Gubon shuddered, Lee Han thought he should intervene to calm the commotion.
* * *
“Ah. You’re from Einrogard. That’s why…”
The adventurers nodded in agreement.
Of course, not all the students at Ein Lorgard showed magic like Lee Han, but the adventurers didn’t even know that.
I just accepted that I was a great wizard because I went to a great magic school.
“As a student, I still lack a lot. And the subjugation case is a bit inflated.”
“aha. Then, is what Gubon said was a bit bluffing?”
“It is true.”
“……”
“…???”
The adventurers were confused, but accepted it.
“More than that, what kind of request did you come here for?”
The reason Gubon and the adventurers came this far was because of a request they had recently received.
– There have been reports that strange phenomena keep occurring in the Black Rock Forest near Philone Village. There seems to be a change in the flow of magical energy. Please check the forest and investigate closely.
It wasn’t an extremely dangerous request, but it wasn’t a request that anyone could do.
The magical energy scattered in nature flows and gathers to bring about various changes, and sometimes surprises even experienced adventurers take place.
‘The reason the undead world was connected last time was also a phenomenon like that.’
It is essential to have enough experience to see and investigate the situation and enough combat power to get out and report when something happens.
Because Gubon and the adventurers had that much ability, they were recognized for their qualifications and were able to carry out the request.
‘oh.’
Lee Han listened to the quests the adventurers received and looked at them with a slight respect.
Even just hearing the explanation, I felt that it was a request that only seasoned adventurers with quite a career could do, not just anyone.
‘The pay would be nice. I should have gotten a request like that too.’
No matter how much I thought about the request I received during vacation, it was a huge loss.
If I had known that the king of ghouls would appear, I would not have wandered around and collected them.
Lee Han just wanted to do a quest to get gold coins.
“But I ran into some problems… I was contemplating whether or not I should step back now.”
While investigating the Black Rock Forest, the adventurers realized that the topography of the forest was constantly changing.
The gathered magic power was creating an illusion and throwing the intruders into confusion.
Right now, the terrain is changing, but if the fantasy gets worse, life could be in danger.
The adventurers were contemplating what to do.
“ah. Can’t we ask the wizard for help? It was fate that we met like this.”
“Don’t be stupid. Would the wizard be interested in such a trivial request? It must be a mere pittance.”
‘It’s not.’
Lee Han almost became serious.
Adventurers probably had a big misunderstanding about wizards.
“But you worked with Gubon the other day…”
“That must be because of the king of ghouls. Gubon must have served as a guide.”
Gu Bon was taken aback when he saw his colleagues speaking openly while he was by his side.
But I couldn’t resist.
Because it was such a role!
“…I’m not only interested in some kind of ghoul king. I tend to be interested in any request.”
“yes? Is that so?”
“why…? It’s not because of the gold coins…?”
“It must be because of the acquisition of knowledge.”
“aha.”
Instead of pointing out the adventurers’ misunderstanding, Lee Han went back to the main topic.
“If it’s okay, I’d like to help. I have a relationship with Mr. Gubon here.”
Goo Bon made a moved expression.
“As for the reward…”
“Please accept it. Wizard!”
“you’re right. Of course, this kind of compensation doesn’t mean much to the mage, but this is a rule as an adventurer. You should be paid more than you helped.”
“…ah. yes. what.”
Lee Han tried to say, ‘You must take care of the reward,’ but he felt embarrassed.
‘It’s not bad.’
How can you get gold coins so easily? For the first time, Lee Han thought he was good at becoming a wizard.
Other adventurers have to build all kinds of careers and results, but wizards can participate only with their name.
Well done wizard!
In addition, if you went around with the adventurers, you could avoid the gaze of the pursuers of Einrogard.
“hey. Wodanaz…”
Anrago, who was listening next to him, whispered in an absurd voice.
“We are in first grade. Are you sure you can solve it?”
“Ang. Would I have said that without even thinking about it?”
At Lee Han’s confident words, Angrago felt sorry for him.
Come to think of it, Wodanaz was the same freshman, but he was a wizard on a different level from Anrago.
‘that’s right. This bastard was from the Wardanaj family.’
Anrago nodded as if he understood.
“I asked a stupid question. Well, if you are confident, it is better to receive it unconditionally in the current situation. If you go together, you’ll get a lot less attention. If your skills are good enough…”
“Yes. I will ask Valdororn to go with you.”
“…????”
didn’t you solve it?
* * *
Baldororn, an illusion wizard in the village of Pilone.
It was close to an ordinary wizard who did not excel in skills that could be seen at least once in many villages.
They tried to find magic books and learn on their own, or find guilds or teachers to learn, but those who had limited skills stopped like this and used magic as a last resort.
Of course, Baldororn had long since lost his desire to see the end of truth and the other side of the world with magic.
“……”
“Isn’t the wizard’s expression a bit strange? Aren’t you offended?”
“Were we too rude?”
“…Oh no.”
Baldororn quickly explained to the adventurers.
It seemed that all the frustrated feelings were revealed.
‘Why do Einrogard students keep coming here…’
Valdor Orn, who had gone out without thinking, was shocked to the point where his heart sank when someone knocked on the door.
The familiar Einrogard student came to visit again.
– Mr. Valdororn. Could you please help?
-…Why… No… I get it…
Baldororn couldn’t bear to refuse Lee Han’s coercion or request.
How could he refuse to sell magic in a village near Einrogard?
The students were being nice now, but they didn’t know what retaliation they would face later.
“Waldororn is not the kind of person who behaves that way.”
Lee Han firmly said to the adventurers.
“sorry. We misunderstood.”
“I heard a lot that it is difficult to deal with all wizards…”
The adventurers sincerely apologized. For Baldororn, that was even more burdensome.
‘Aren’t you angry if you can’t solve the forest problem?’
Wizards from places like Ein Rogard had an innate aura.
Even if such wizards made mistakes, the people of the empire did not protest so much.
-Ah, seeing that the wizard failed, it must have been really difficult!
However, a wizard like Valdororn did not have that kind of aura.
If I adjusted it wrongly, this reaction came out right away.
– Failed? a wizard? Is that wizard a real wizard? Isn’t that a quack?
Just looking at them, they seemed like seasoned adventurers with their own careers. I already felt sick to my stomach thinking about what would happen if I failed.
“It is a fantasy.”
Lee Han was the first to warn. He felt an unusual flow of magical power in the hazy mist.
“Oh no!”
“Up to the entrance of the forest… It has increased in the meantime.”
The adventurers frowned.
The range of illusions affecting the forest has been extended.
It didn’t bode well.
“Lord Valdororn. Can I try flying it the way I learned last time?”
“yes. … yes?”
“Then I will fly.”
Baldororn, who answered casually, was startled and tried to ask again.
‘What did you learn? I don’t remember teaching you?’
However, Lee Han, who heard the answer, did not hesitate and immediately swung his magical power like a hammer and blew away the fog.
Instead of reading and interpreting the structure, the destruction method destroys the structure itself with an intense impact.
“……”
Valdororn gaped at the ignorant solution.
‘Really using that???’
It was a theoretical method, but it was only used for fantasy magic that was very weak or had a small range. I had no idea how much magic would be consumed to blow the entire fog that enveloped the entrance to the forest.
The adventurers who couldn’t grasp the situation looked at it blankly and then asked.
“Is it resolved?”
“yes.”
“Awesome!”
“…I didn’t do anything.”
“Until you are humble!”
“……”
Baldororn really wanted to go home.
* * *
Even after that, Baldororn and Lee Han broke the illusion of the forest and found the right path with excellent observation and amazing magic.
As Waldororn observed, the solution was resolved.
When Lee Han asked a question, Baldororn reliably confirmed it.
The adventurers could only admire the perfect breath.
“But why is that wizard still standing still?”
“You’re saving magic.”
“……”
Anra also looked very aware.
I wanted to help, but…
‘I can’t even see it!’
From the outside, it looked as if he was ignorantly swinging his magic power to blow away the fog.
Of course, it wouldn’t be that way, and there must be something extraordinary in it…
I couldn’t figure it out.
As Lee Han blew another mist, Anrago sighed in frustration.
“Whoa.”
And Valdororn sighed deeply.
“Whoa…”
“…???”
Anrago wondered why this great wizard was like this.
