Chapter 489
“Yes?”
The hunters looked at Lee Han as if they were talking about something.
Lee Han quickly changed his words.
“it’s nothing. Rather, Mr. Serpent. What are you doing?”
The Shadow Ranger hunters explained what had happened.
After Professor Thunderwalker and his party found traces of the Sea Serpent, the sailors and Shadow Ranger hunters were closely watching the Sea Serpent’s movements.
These large monsters would cause great damage to the city with one wrong move.
If it came close to the harbor, it had to be caught before approaching. If there’s any mayhem near the port, dozens of ships…
“But it looks like he’s coming closer.”
“shit.”
“yes?”
“it’s nothing. So… is the approach clear?”
Lee Han had to hold back a sigh.
Now that this had happened, it was necessary to call Professor Voladi, inform the port, evacuate the people, and call the city guards.
The others are fine, but Professor Voladi didn’t really want to be called.
“I’m not sure yet. I guess I’ll have to look at the movement a little more…”
“But I have to prepare.”
A good hunter would end all hunts before starting them.
The Shadow Ranger hunters, of course, planned to make perfect preparations for the Sea Serpent’s arrival.
“Then cast some magic on me.”
“…It would be better if you received it from the other wizards in the city instead of me…”
If it’s related to the Sea Serpent, the other wizards in the city will unconditionally cooperate.
Of course, the Shadow Patrol didn’t listen to Lee Han.
“yes. yes. Do you like the magic of other wizards better?”
“All right. Mister Wizard. Please cast some magic.”
“…It’s true…”
Lee Han was unfair, but he couldn’t convince the Shadow Ranger hunters.
In fact, it was natural.
If you say to someone who doesn’t know anything about magic, ‘Look closely, this magic is more effective and easier to cast, but it’s a worse magic’, the only response is ‘Are all wizards crazy?’
The Shadow Ranger hunters jumped down the terrace again after casting a spell on the equipment Lee Han had brought.
After seeing them off, Lee Han suddenly had a thought.
‘Can I go down the stairs?’
Looking down, the passers-by seemed uninterested in the eccentricities of the Shadow Ranger hunters.
Lee Han developed a little respect for the people of this port city.
‘How many strange things happen…’
“Are you gone?”
“huh. come out.”
Nilia crawled out from under the table.
“Why don’t you use the stairs…”
“I couldn’t help it because work was urgent. Nilia. The Shadow Ranger hunters are also doing their best to keep the city safe.”
“Is that so?”
Lee Han, of course, was thinking, ‘Why don’t you use the stairs?’
Nilia, probably attracted by Lee Han’s words, stayed still for a bit and then tilted her head.
“But what’s the point of not using the stairs with that…”
“Oh. Bread came out.”
Lee Han received the brioche brought by the clerk and quickly changed the subject.
“Wardanaz.”
“?”
When the princess quietly spoke to Lee Han, Lee Han wondered why he was doing this.
“ah. Would you like some of this?”
“…Let’s talk for a minute.”
Adenart decided to use this opportunity to clear up the misunderstanding.
I wondered why Wodanaz had such a misunderstanding, but no matter how much I thought about it, it was clear that it was because of Guinando.
Since the royal family that gets along with Wodanaz is Gainando, there is no choice but to misunderstand that ‘the imperial family is obsessed with eating all’.
Adenart did his best to explain quietly.
Gainando likes food, but he doesn’t.
There seems to be some misunderstanding.
So I hope to clear up misunderstandings in the future!
“Ah… I’m sorry about this.”
‘It wasn’t because of Cainando.’
Lee Han thought so to himself, but he didn’t say it.
He was afraid of the princess’s power.
“There is nothing to apologize for.”
“Then don’t call me even if I get something to eat…”
“……”
Adenart made a complicated expression between ‘I don’t like that’ and ‘But wouldn’t it be the same as Gainan if I said no now?’
Lee Han nodded as if he understood.
“Princess. In my opinion, it is the princess who is misunderstanding.”
“yes?”
Adenart’s eyes widened.
Wardanaz’s words were unexpected.
“Basically, when I have something to eat, I call all my other friends. Aren’t everyone hungry at Ein Lorgard? I don’t think the princess is particularly obsessed with food.”
“I didn’t say that…”
He said he liked food, but he didn’t say
he was obsessed… Isn’t Kainan Island a bit obsessive?” Is
that…
is it?
Adenart was suddenly confused.
Wodanaz took care of me normally, just like taking care of other friends, but did Adenart just notice it because of Gainando?
“…I’m sorry. Wodanaz.”
“haha. no.”
‘Whoops. It’s easy.’
Lee Han felt a sense of victory inside.
He was confident enough that he had never been defeated in persuasion against the imperial family he had met so far.
“Then rest in peace.”
Seeing the tray with the clerk walking next to him, Lee Han started talking.
It was a panini sandwich with thinly sliced salami, cheese and lettuce sandwiched between baguettes sprinkled with olive oil.
“oh. give this over there I’ve already had enough here.”
At Lee Han’s instruction, the clerk nodded and put the tray down in front of Adenart.
Adenart compared the number of empty cake plates in front of him with the number of empty cake plates in front of Wodanaz.
No matter how you look at it, the amount Wodanaz ate was small.
…then isn’t that what Wodanaz should get?
‘Why me?’
While Adenart was staring at Lee Han with a mixture of suspicion and suspicion, the students of the White Tiger Tower started talking to Lee Han with mixed faces of anticipation.
“Wardanaz. that. We support you.”
“that’s right! Power is stronger than blood!”
“Wodhanaz, but bloodline…”
“What bullshit are you talking about?”
Lee Han was puzzled as he held up his coffee cup.
“uh. Didn’t you fight with the princess?”
“Who are you to give me instructions…” ”
…Really, what kind of bullshit are you talking about?”
Lee Han’s reaction made the White Tiger Tower students even more convinced.
‘It’s clear that they fought, seeing how they acted like that.’
‘Isn’t a civil war breaking out between the guys in the tower of the blue dragon?’
When I thought so, I suddenly became worried.
Originally, I would have said, ‘Haha, kill each other in the Blue Dragon Tower!’
‘No matter how royal you are, what you got from Wardanaz…’
“Would you like a cup of coffee?”
“…Oh no. You just asked.”
When Lee Han raised his coffee cup and asked, the White Tiger Tower students cursed inwardly.
I cheered you on!
“I. Wizard.”
“?”
“Could you please take a look at this book?”
The clerk handed Lee Han an old book.
It was a strange book with no cover or title.
As soon as Lee Han received it, he went in for confirmation.
‘There is no magic. no. just in case.’
“for a moment. don’t move Come up, emotion!”
Not enough of that, Lee Han used < Ogonin's Recognition of Emotions > on the clerk.
The clerk was puzzled and said.
“What’s wrong with me…?”
“Have you ever had anything to do with the Skeleton Archmage? The Lich Archmage, the Skeleton Archmage, the owner of Einrogard, etc.?”
“What are you talking about…”
“Hmm. It has nothing to do with it.’
Lee Han wondered if the clerk held out a book after receiving a request from the skeleton headmaster.
Because the skeleton headmaster could have prepared to bully the students outside!
But it didn’t seem like it.
“Why this book?”
“The customer says that it is a very difficult book and wants to ask the wizard what kind of book it is.”
“What kind of person are you? Call me.”
The clerk went down and came back with a puzzled face.
“I don’t see any guests, so I wonder if they’ve gone somewhere for a while? Uh… Wizard. It’s okay if you don’t look at it if it’s a nuisance. I opened it too, but there’s nothing special…”
‘You’re not afraid.’
No matter how much I checked that there was no magic, it wasn’t a good habit to open it like that.
“Is there any prophecy written down?”
Beside me, Bartrek opened the book in amazement.
“……”
Exactly!
“evil! why?!”
“If you see food on the side of the road, do you pick it up and eat it?”
“Mr. Lee…”
While Bartrek was feeling unjust, the clerk looked at him again and said.
“That… the guest has some money left to ask the wizard, should I just return it?”
“no. A spirit of inquiry is a virtue that a wizard should have.”
Lee Han grabbed the book right away.
< Where is the secret of true magic? >
If you are a talented wizard, you must have felt the suffocating stuffiness of the empire’s magic system.
‘hmm. I guess I have no talent. I’ve never felt it before.’
I felt a lot from the professors of Ein Rogard, but don’t you pay attention to this?
The Empire’s magic system helped even stupid wizards not die, but in return lost access to all the great magic beyond the veil. In search of more powerful magic, we go outside the system and beyond the veil…
“It’s a junk book.”
Lee Han was dumbfounded and returned the book to the clerk.
“When the guests come back, tell them not to believe it because it is a trash book. What nonsense…”
Probably the wizard who wrote that book doesn’t even know what a ‘safety rule’ is.
Whining about not being able to learn magic because of safety rules.
What kind of nonsense bullshit is that?
‘I’d rather read Professor Voladi’s blood magic book.’
Professor Voladi, who wrote a radical theory to amplify mana using magician blood as a reagent, also started with safety rules!
The wizard who wrote that book was Professor Voladi or younger.
“yes. Sorry for wasting your time, mage. I will tell you that.”
* * *
“…he said.”
“Don’t talk bullshit!”
Ianob threw off the mysterious and dangerous attitude he usually showed in front of mercenaries and growled ferociously.
The mercenary screamed as he suddenly felt his collar strangle him.
“Jung… really… really!”
“No wizard can read it and say it’s a trash book! Are you saying that knowing who wrote the book?”
Only when the mercenary’s face turned livid did Ianob come to his senses.
Come to think of it, the mercenary couldn’t have lied.
“Don’t skip a single word and say it straight! Say it!”
However, no matter how hard I tried, nothing changed.
Having let go of his rage, Ianob fell into despair.
Originally, Beomjae knew very well that it was not easy to understand genius, but today it hit him particularly deeply.
I had no idea what the hell he was thinking.
‘Even so… I still can’t give up.’
Having come this far, it was a matter of pride apart from the wisdom of Antagondals.
What the hell is that boy looking at, he thinks so little of the magic that Ianob built up?
‘However, if you take a closer look here, you can feel suspicious. If you feel suspicious before you buy a good impression, the professors of Einrogard will stop you…’
Just thinking about it sent chills down my spine.
“Ianob!”
“what?”
Another mercenary came.
“I think we should get out of the port for a while. The Sea Serpent is said to be approaching. All city guards and local adventurers are converging here.”
“What bothers me… wait.”
Ianop suddenly had an idea.
If it were to subdue the Sea Serpent, surely the magicians of Ein Rogard would participate.
If you were still a young wizard, you couldn’t help but feel a thirst for power.
What if you witness unknown magic at that time?
“I will participate too.”
