Chapter 490
“Yes…?”
The mercenaries felt the biggest embarrassment they felt today.
Participating in the subjugation itself was not a problem.
The port must be crowded as not only city guards and adventurers, but also nearby guilds participate as vigilantes.
It didn’t even go unnoticed because there were a few dubious gang members involved.
But…
‘Are you trying to approach the magicians of Einrogard again?’
‘If I accidentally touched the beehive…’
There was no way a wizard like Ianob would participate in the subjugation for the city out of pure good intentions.
Of course, it was clear that he had an intention to approach the magicians of Ein Lorgard.
Cheeik!
With an eerie sound like flesh burning, a string with a strange pattern appeared around the necks of the mercenaries in the seat.
The mercenaries let out a croak at the sudden feeling of being strangled.
“M… Mage…”
“Please help Mage! We are all loyal!”
“It should be. Of course I believe in you guys.”
Ianob swung his staff and tied the ropes around the mercenaries’ necks.
Now, as soon as the mercenaries are in a situation where you don’t know where to go, you have to be careful.
“Keuhuk… I’m sorry I didn’t know about the great black magic… Help me!”
“……”
Ianob was annoyed at the moment when the mercenaries recognized this beautiful enchantment as black magic, but he held it in.
Now was the time to focus solely on the gemstone from Einrogard.

“Don’t you think this quill is fine, Wodanaz?”
“Hmm… but it seems a bit expensive.”
“It’s still pretty. Aren’t you tired of getting goose feathers from Ein Rogard and making quills?”
“I’ll have to ask for a cut.”
“…really? really?”
Asan whispered with a shocked face. But Lee Han was serious.
“hello. I saw it in the store next door…”
“……”
Asan respected Lee Han more now than when he defeated the king of the frost giants or when he showed his abilities in front of the Dalcard family’s brothers and sisters.
However, the fun market tour of the students ended there.
The Shadow Ranger hunters are back.
Seeing this, Lee Han sighed deeply.
There was only one reason why they would come back now.
“The Sea Serpent is definitely approaching.”
“All right.”
Lee Han really doesn’t want to go, but he’s ready to go and tell Professor Boladi.
Since this happened, the entire city had to prepare.
“…sorry.”
Nilia apologized with a very apologetic face.
It was a rare sight.
“It’s not your fault, it’s just Mr. Serpent’s fault… Kids! Gather everyone! It’s time to stop playing and go to the mansion! If you have something to buy, buy it quickly!”
Lee Han exclaimed and asked the quill shop merchant.
“Is there any discount if you catch a Sea Serpent approaching the port?”
“……”
“……”
Nilia was a little worried about whether to just go first.
In the meantime, the friends gathered, one by one, with a bundle tucked between their arms.
Yoner packed a new small bronze cauldron (much thicker than the one used in Einrogard, so it could hold poisonous ingredients) Ratford, who was pleased that he bought a cheap rock pick equipment with a little blood on it. I bought fracture healing ointment, I don’t know if this works. The grumbling Bartrek…
Adenart was a little taken aback.
Everyone bought something.
Lee Han, who noticed that, kindly told me.
“You can’t buy it. Princess. I didn’t even buy Nilia here.”
“…!”
Nilia took a quick look and put the < Waste Star Catchers, they are the guardians of the empire! > book she had purchased earlier into her arms.
“That’s right. It’s more rustic to come all the way here and try to buy something. is not it?”
“It’s not tacky… let’s go when we’re all together.”
Back at the mansion, I saw Professor Voladi returning from the other side as well.
Lee Han greeted and asked.
“Where have you been, Professor?”
“To find something useful.”
Professor Voladi answered calmly.
The professor answered briefly, but Lee Han, who listened, had to use his infinite imagination.
‘What are you talking about? Could it be that I was looking for a new opponent to deal with in the second semester? You must have kidnapped some criminal in a back alley, right?’
It was all the more frightening because it was possible for Professor Voladi.
For some reason, it seems that there is some blood on Professor Voladi’s coat…
“Oh. professor. I have something to tell you.”
“what?”
“He… says the Serpent is coming.”
Lee Han explained the information the Shadow Ranger hunters asked for in as detailed a way as possible.
In order not to be misunderstood by Professor Voladi, ‘Did you not tell me on purpose?’
“A Mr. Serpent?”
“yes.”
Professor Voladi’s facial muscles, which had been hardened like granite, loosened very slightly.
Lee Han realized that Professor Voladi was happy now.
“…Oh no. professor. I’m not asking you to go catch the Sea Serpent together, but this is a matter of procedure…”
When a large monster comes to the port, it’s a procedure to notify the people in the port first and inform those who can participate in the city.
Of course, talking to Professor Voladi was the procedure.
However, if you interpret it as ‘You look like an admirable disciple to come to find Mr. Serpent,’ Lee Han was very troubled.
“I guess so.”
‘I don’t think I understood this person.’
“The Sea Serpent is finally approaching?”
Upon hearing the news, Professor Thunderwalker frowned and walked out.
“I’m going to have a hard time at night.”
“professor. Here is your wallet.”
“oh. thanks.”
When Lee Han returned the wallet, Professor Wooregeol accepted it without thinking.
The wallet was empty.
“……”
Such a thrifty child!
“I’ve finished my work, but the monster doesn’t notice.”
“I mean.”
People from the Maykin family also clicked their tongues.
I would have done something with this if I had come out before the negotiations were all settled, but since the negotiations were neatly finished, hunting for the Mr. Serpent was more of a tedious overtime job.
“Let’s think positively. The Sea Serpents always come up with useful stuff… I think the professors will have to work hard.”
The professors nodded their heads at the words of Professor Thunderwalk.
Since a large monster like the Sea Serpent appeared, it was only natural that as a professor, he would have to take the lead.
“You guys wait in the back. Nothing dangerous, but don’t relax. You never know when you might need your help.”
The students were first-year students in Einrogard, but outside of it, they were magicians who properly inherited the imperial lineage.
Considering the jagged and unstable skills of wizards that are common outside, Ein Lorgard’s students were more than adequately treated.
“yes!”
The students stood up from their seats with stiff faces.
He had gone through all sorts of prenatal battles in Ein Lorgard, but experiencing it outside like this felt different.
Lee Han tried to move with his friends.
Then, Professor Thunder Walk looked at Lee Han as if asking what he was doing.
“Where are you going?”
“yes? Please wait in the back…”
“Ah!”
Thunderstruck Professor burst out laughing as if he had forgotten.
“Of course not you!”
Professor Lightning Walk also had a big laugh.
“Why are you going to the rear!”
“……”
The people of the Meikin family did not understand and were taken aback by the dwarf professors’ laughter.
Lee Han wasn’t even very funny.
‘The dwarves are annoying.’
* * *
“Light!”
Lee Han swung his staff.
A ball of blazing light rose.
The professors laughed out loud, but it wasn’t entirely without reason.
In a situation where he had to urgently prepare for such a large monster, there was no way he could pull back a near-infinite magic source like Lee Han.
The first thing Lee Han started doing was preparing the light source.
The sun was already setting far beyond the horizon, and darkness was creeping over the harbor.
If a melee broke out in a dark situation, it was advantageous to the monsters, so of course we had to prepare for the light.
As the wizards came, the people of the city also expected ‘wouldn’t it be solved somehow with magic?’, but…
this is…
“…what the heck is this?”
“Have I misunderstood the time?”
The city guard soldiers who rushed to the city couldn’t help but be astonished at the appearance of the dazzling port.
I wanted there to be a light, but isn’t this too bright even if it’s bright?
Even if it is like this…
Can it be like this??
“Is the original magic going to be something like this?”
“Because they are the magicians of Einrogard…”
However, even the soldier’s voice, which said, ‘Isn’t it possible because they are the magicians of Einrogard?’ did not have confidence.
To be honest, I was still puzzled.
“Light, light, light, light, light…”
Lee Han went around the port without stopping and floated all the spheres of light.
The adventurers who were waiting with bows were dumbfounded and whispered.
“Student… Aren’t you a student?”
“Is Einrogard able to use that level of magic even as a student? No, the wizard who participated in the party the other day complained filthyly while making a light as big as a lantern…”
Not knowing that he was leaving a very strong impression on the people of the port, Lee Han went round and round.
It was overflowing with magic power, but because the port was so wide, it was a pain to install the spheres of light one by one.
‘They say that if the head is bad, the body suffers.’
Lee Han sighed inwardly.
I felt like I knew why the headmaster of the skeleton was so hard on people as magic actors.
If I had only known how to use higher-level magic, I would have filled the whole area with light with the snap of a finger!
“I’m done.”
“Good job.”
“Then I’ll cast an enchantment on the equipment.”
“…That’s right.”
Professor Wooregeol was embarrassed to say ‘take a break’.
Lee Han didn’t notice the professor’s intentions and immediately set off for the next job.
The Shadow Ranger hunters received it earlier, but now there are many, many people in the port holding unenchanted bows and crossbows.
If you think about the ballistas installed there and things like that…
“Shouldn’t we take a break?”
The people from the Meikin family hesitated to talk.
Commenting on the educational policy in the presence of Einrogard’s professor could seem like a pretty rude act, so I was careful, but this time it wasn’t easy to hold back.
Professor Wooregeol glanced at the outsiders and made an excuse.
“For Wardanaz, this is more like a walk.”
“…yes?”
The people of the Meikin family looked at the spheres of light floating all over the harbor and were bewildered.
What kind of bullshit is that…
But Professor Thunderwalker was confident and shameless. After pushing once, I tried to keep the lie until the end.
“Rather, telling him to rest is hurting Wodanaz’s pride. Please never mention it.”
“Aha…”
“I see.”
If Lee Han had listened, he would have kicked Professor Thunderwalker from behind and threw him into the sea, but Lee Han was busy enchanting the equipment of the guardsmen.
The people of the Meikin family marveled at what they had just heard.
It was to the point where I thought I wasn’t from the Wardanaj family.
‘Well, that kind of personality, so Joanen-sama must have liked it.’
The people of the Meikin family respected Joanen for his outstanding ability, but they did not fail to notice Joanen’s shortcomings.
Joanen was, objectively speaking, a mad workaholic.
Hearing from someone like that, ‘I really liked you, and I want to invite you to the studio after graduation’ was a dangerous signal not only in terms of ability, but also in terms of personality.
It is possible that the other party is also a little crazy about work…
