Chapter 219
The friends were embarrassed, but Lee Han stayed calm.
It was because he was acting on legitimate grounds, not on personal feelings.
‘As long as there is no Durgyu, the White Tiger Tower will never cooperate with me. Rather, it caused a commotion. If you make a fuss in a situation like this, you can attract the attention of Rock Drake.’
At that explanation, Yoner tilted his head.
“But I can’t just leave it alone…”
“Let’s go.”
“……”
After amplifying the invisible magic, Lee Han moved on.
Yoner followed him with a subtle expression.
* * *
“Everybody stop moving.”
“Ugh… ugh!”
The students of the White Tiger Tower were stunned.
I couldn’t help but be surprised when students from the Blue Dragon Tower suddenly popped out of empty space.
“What is it? It was Wardanaz.”
“Actually, I’m not sure…”
muttered one of the White Tiger Tower students.
Lee Han decided to remember the face of the guy he just muttered.
“Don’t make a sound. If you make a noise, I will attack.”
“I know even if you don’t say that. Wodanaz. We are not recruits.”
“?”
The White Tiger Tower students didn’t seem to understand the current situation.
Lee Han thought about how to make it less offensive by saying, “You are now subdued. If you lay down your weapons and surrender, I will treat you as a prisoner of war according to Einro Guard’s regulations.”
“I was still looking for you. Wodanaz. Durgyu has come here because he earnestly asked for it.”
“!”
Lee Han hesitated.
Surprisingly, these White Tiger Tower students are here to collaborate!
“……”
Realizing that fact belatedly, the Blue Dragon Tower students exchanged glances with each other.
‘…What do we do?’
‘Let’s pretend we don’t know anything for now.’
‘Doesn’t the way we hold the cane look suspicious?’
As soon as Lee Han sent a signal, the students of the Blue Dragon Tower, who were holding staffs to cast magic, quietly lowered their hands.
His attitude seemed a bit suspicious.
The White Tiger Tower students were also asked if they felt the strange atmosphere.
“By the way, Wodanaz. Why do I have so many friends…”
“You know, the library is dangerous.”
“Is that so?”
The students of the White Tiger Tower, who were puzzled by the murderous spirit exuded by the students of the Blue Dragon Tower, nodded as if they were convinced.
Guinando, still unable to comprehend the situation, whispered.
“When will you attack?”
“attack?”
When Yoner beckoned, the other friends quickly subdued Guinando.
Lee Han said without changing a single expression.
“It was about when you attacked the rock drake.”
“Rock… Attacking Rock Drake???”
The White Tiger Tower students looked at Lee Han like crazy.
Wodanaz I knew he was a maddened archmage who had dedicated his life to all sorts of magic and arcane magic, but I never thought he’d be that crazy!
‘Oops. I made a mistake.’
I was in a hurry and the excuse came out a little strange. Lee Han quickly explained.
“It wasn’t necessarily about attacking the rock drake, it was about attacking when it was really unavoidable.”
“That… yes.”
“Ooh, are you going to do it when we’re not there?”
Despite the explanation, the White Tiger Tower students had already taken two or three steps back.
Even in an unavoidable situation, the thought of attacking a rock drake was too scary.
Even a student from the youngest knight family didn’t think ‘I’m going to attack Rock Drake now that it’s like this
‘… Tell me why you came.”
* * *
In fact, the White Tiger Tower students had a much better situation than the Blue Dragon Tower students.
Unlike the Blue Dragon Tower students, whose strengths are only family and magical abilities, the White Tiger Tower students basically have the ability to take care of themselves no matter where they are thrown.
As such, the White Tiger Tower students moved a little more actively.
– Divide into groups of three and find the way!
If you had confidence, it would be much more advantageous to split up and move.
Lee Han never did anything reckless like that, but as you know, the students of the White Tiger Tower are people who never lose when it comes to bravery.
And this time, luck followed.
-found! Here is the door that leads down!
-Call the others too! Tell me you found it!
When a group found a way down, Durgyu earnestly asked his friends.
– I’m sorry, but can you do me a favor?
-It depends on what kind of request it is. Durgyu.
-Do you remember the last time I gave you two pieces of butter sponge cake?
-…okay. you can listen What?
-I wish I could sneak up and tell my friends at the Blue Dragon’s Tower where it is. It would be nice if I went by myself, but I can see it.
-what?! why!? As expected of Wardanaz…
-…It’s not like that. It is because there is something new. You guys should also bet on the knight’s honor. You don’t owe anything to Wardanaj?
-…Not that there isn’t one…
At Durgyu’s words, the White Tiger Tower friends were at a loss for words.
They also had the honor of being from a family of knights. I couldn’t completely deny the fact that Lee Han helped me.
But…
– No matter how much I risked my knight’s honor, I suffered too much.
-that’s right. we’ve been through so much
Regardless of honor or whatever, I suffered too much!
But in the end, the friends couldn’t beat Durgyu.
When words such as ‘with honor’ and ‘return to the favor received’ came out, he could not ignore them as he came from a knight’s family.
– I really don’t want to go.
-that’s right. Wodanaz knows what that bastard is up to.
-If you’re going, I’ll increase the number… isn’t this number enough?
* * *
“That’s why we came here at Durgyu’s earnest request.”
The White Tiger Tower students completely omitted the lines they grumbled and complained about.
Lee Han was slightly moved.
‘Durgyu…’
Durgyu was proof that even among the students of the White Tiger Tower, there were people who had a conscience and knew what honor was.
I hope you will help me with this.
“Did you manage to find Wardanaj? Didn’t you hate being involved with your wordanaz?”
“…joy. I don’t put such private feelings into the work I have to do. People from aristocrats don’t know. This responsibility as a knight.”
“We didn’t care at all about grudges with Wardanaj. I only thought about losing to Wardanaj. It’s an honor.”
‘These bastards really didn’t want to come.’
Lee Han thought to himself.
The students of the Blue Dragon Tower were furious, but didn’t say anything.
Just by pointing out the entrance to the lower level, it was clear that I was indebted.
“okay. thanks. Can you guide me then?”
The students of the White Tiger Tower took the lead and began to take the students of the Blue Dragon Tower.
The terrain didn’t change, so finding your way wasn’t much of a problem, but it wasn’t entirely easy either.
“It’s a rock drake!”
The monster that had been harassing the students throughout this dungeon raid was still roaming the wilderness.
As the students of the Blue Dragon Tower made painful expressions, the students of the White Tiger Tower spoke with confidence.
“what. Don’t you know how to deal with a rock drake?”
“You know?”
“of course. On the way, I ran into a rock drake once, but how did I get here if I didn’t know how to deal with it?”
Lee Han was surprised by the confident attitude of the White Tiger Tower students.
‘Is there a way to descend only from a knight’s family?’
Lee Han was also a student in the Wodanaz family who read random books and received additional study on various monsters from Professor Lightning Walk.
However, there was no trick to dealing with Rock Drake easily.
what?
‘I can’t miss it if it’s a way that only comes down to a knight’s family.’
“ruler. Look!”
The White Tiger Tower students prostrated themselves on the dusty dirt floor. He didn’t care even if the hot, dry soil soiled his clothes and hands and feet.
“Rock Drake’s vision is higher than expected. If we lay down like this, he won’t find us.”
“And in this state!”
One of the White Tiger Tower students started crawling on the floor. As much as the body shouldn’t rise, the bug crawled as if it were rubbing the ground.
One student at the Blue Dragon Tower muttered.
“That looks like a bug…”
“Shh. Quiet.”
“Did you see it? If you crawl like this, you can avoid the rock drake.”
“I’ll just cast an invisibility spell.”
At Lee Han’s words, the students of the White Tiger Tower, who were shaking off the dust, hesitated.
…uh?
is that possible?
“Do you know how to… do something like that?”
“It is possible.”
“…But why did you make us do this?”
“I tried to learn if your method was better.”
“……”
Despite the explanation, the White Tiger Tower students glared at Lee Han.
* * *
“There on the side of the hill is the entrance we found.”
“Right.”
As soon as he confirmed the appearance of the hill with a steep cliff about 4 to 5 meters high, Lee Han nodded.
It must have gone up the gentle slope on the other side.
“…for a moment. Are there any students who haven’t passed yet?”
“well? why? Do you have any friends left?”
“Looks like there is.”
Lee Han strengthened it by pouring his mana into the area around his eyes like waste.
Then, the students of the White Tiger Tower on top of the hill in the distance caught my eye.
‘Are you waiting for friends who haven’t come yet? To teach me how to go down?’
If that’s the case, friendship between knights is truly amazing…
– Stop it! Stop him from coming up!
-Take out all the potions you have! When the rock drake rises, you die!
“……”
Lee Han frowned at the sight of the White Tiger Tower students hurriedly running from place to place with a grin on their lips.
Without realizing that speed, the students of the White Tiger Tower were chattering beside them.
“Wardanaz. No matter how good you are at magic, finding your way like this is something else…”
“Tsk.”
“…Did I act too proud? Aren’t you angry?”
* * *
-The door is locked. how do i open it?
-Search the nearby library. There may be a key or a way to open it.
-okay. … It’s Rock Drake!!
-what? You open it with a rock drake? How do you get the rock drake out of here?
-no! That’s Rock Drake!!
Rock Drake appeared in front of the White Tiger Tower students who were contemplating how to open the door going down.
-■■■■■…
While the students showed various emotions such as fear, despair, and intimidation to the extreme, Rock Drake narrowed the distance and settled down in front of the hill.
Then he glared at the students.
It was so dissatisfied that even a person who did not know much about monsters could tell that ‘that creature is dissatisfied right now’.
how long has it been
The students of the White Tiger Tower, who were hesitant and sweaty, could not hold out any longer and went first when their opponent did not move.
-Go… Are you warning me to go?
-Let’s move first!
-What about the door? Is it a door that goes down?
-Is that important now?!
As soon as the words were finished, Lock Drake began to advance.
It wasn’t a terrifying rush to trample the enemy, but just walking up the hill was overwhelming.
“Come this way!!”
“Somehow pull the time! Even if you go down the other side, you have to take your time!”
“Bring all the repelling potions! Throw!”
“Prepare the magic. aim for the eyes! You have to threaten me somehow!”
Fuck!
A water bead that flew in from somewhere accurately hit the rock drake’s nose.
The rock drake, who had been walking slowly, turned his head at an incomparable speed.
It was an irritating move for anyone to see.
“It’s okay… you’re okay, right? Wodanaz?”
“Well…”
“……”
Lee Han was staring at Rock Drake with a cold expression as if he was indifferent. The White Tiger Tower students next to him inadvertently recalled what they had just heard.
-It was about when you attacked the rock drake.
– It wasn’t necessarily about attacking the rock drake, it was about attacking when it was really unavoidable.
‘…This bastard. I’m really trying to catch him right now…?!?!’
