Chapter 232
‘Decoration of one’s own room must be fun.’
These days, I wanted to talk a lot about how my friends decorate their private rooms, but I never thought this would happen.
Of course, Lee Han did not understand at all.
why?
‘Isn’t a private room only good for sleeping?’
Like a person who had a lot of skeleton warriors standing in his room, Lee Han had no interest in decorating his private room.
“This is a big deal… I brought it knowing that it would be satisfied with Wardanaz.”
“Is it too valuable for Wardanaz to see? This is still a pretty good pottery…”
“So what did I say! Wardanaz said there’s no way you’d be satisfied with just plain nice knick-knacks. The walls of the Wardanaj family are made of pure silver, and the windows of the mansion are made of ruby and sapphire. Of course I’m not satisfied with this!”
‘It’s not.’
The Black Turtle Tower students proudly create rumors right in front of their eyes.
As the Wodanaz family was so closed-minded, I knew there were rumors going around outside, but this was a bit unfair.
It wasn’t that the family lacked wealth, but Lee Han himself had never been extravagant.
Wouldn’t it be unfair if I was able to use luxury!
“It’s a big deal. There is no other cost. Can’t you promise to pay for it on vacation?”
“You say that? If you were Wodanaz, would you work for that silver coin? Don’t you know the honor and pride of nobles?”
Tak- Lee
Han placed his hand on the shoulders of his friends.
And he said kindly.
“It seems that you are worried because you have nothing to do. Then pay back in silver during vacation.”
“…!”
“Is it really okay?”
“of course. Richmond in your tower has been like that too. There is no need to burden yourself.”
“But… why…?”
When the Black Turtle Tower student muttered something incomprehensible, his friend stabbed him hard in the side.
“You fool. Wardanaz is trying to save face.”
“aha!”
‘Aha what aha.’
The Black Turtle Tower students seemed to think that if Lee Han just helped them, they would be embarrassed, so they would accept a nominal silver coin.
With that alone, Lee Han could guess the wealth of the other students.
‘Because they’re like rich people.’
Even in the Black Turtle Tower, which was dominated by commoners, the story was different when it came to money.
The leading merchants in the empire had wealth that even the most aristocratic families could not compare to.
Compared to Lee Han, who did not receive pocket money unless it was necessary for learning, he could use silver coins like water.
“thanks. Wodanaz. I never thought I would help you like this.”
“You can think freely. ruler. sign here Where can I go?”
“I just need to come to the Tutanta family…”
Salko, who was writing the contract, was slightly confused.
Lee Han’s expression was too serious.
…Couldn’t it be because of real silver coins?
* * *
“Drink water, everyone.”
“thanks. Wodanaz.”
As we entered the desert, the heat rose up. Similar terrain to the library wasteland the other day, but much hotter and drier.
“Spring up.”
Of course, that didn’t mean the water wouldn’t come out. Lee Han summoned water from the air without hesitation.
“Matte, tell me the direction.”
Salko chanted an incantation, tapping the sandy floor. Then a pattern appeared on the sand.
“This is the north side.”
“Magic is fine. can you tell me?”
“You are good at jokes. There’s no way you need something like this… No. really?”
Salko was taken aback by Lee Han’s attention.
There were many wizards who did not bother to master these life-related magics.
There was no need to use magic to know the direction. All it took was a servant or slave to know the direction.
“Why? Sounds like good magic.”
“…no. It’s not difficult to tell. It’s not a difficult magic, but it’s a magic that a guy who doesn’t have an aptitude for the earth element can’t handle it well…”
Salko recalled the last time Lee Han broke through the labyrinth in the school and moved forward by breaking the labyrinth wall into powder.
“…but never mind that.”
“Why?”
“Listen quietly. Anyway, this magic should be used in a place with a lot of soil. Also, it doesn’t work well where there is no magnetite dust. So you have to be careful…”
Salko, who was talking, looked at the water mass floating next to Yihan.
A mass of cold water that maintains its shape even under the glaring sunlight.
“…no, never mind that.”
“Aren’t you teaching too roughly?”
Yihan complained, but Salco ignored him.
Meanwhile, the other Black Turtle Tower students took the lead in checking the path.
“here. Let’s leave a mark so we can see it when we return.”
“Engrave it.”
It was a desert area where the terrain changed when the wind blew, but the mark left by magic was a different story.
A small mark was carved into the sand. An hour or two was a good sign to go.
“great job. I’ll blow some air.”
“Can I call the spirit?”
“huh. Since I rested for over three days, the spirits will do me a favor.”
A low-level wind spirit with a vague shape appeared and a breeze began to blow.
Lee Han admired that cooperation from behind.
‘Why can’t our top guys do things like that?’
It wasn’t that kids couldn’t do magic.
In terms of magic skills alone, it was close to the best among the four towers.
…Because most of those magics aren’t magic that’s helpful in real life like this.
Honestly, isn’t the < Magic Decoration for Circle Dance > magic useless during this kind of exploration?
-Kurrureurreung!
“?”
Sharkan suddenly made a living sound. At that reaction, Lee Han thought that a monster had appeared.
‘There are no monsters?’
At that moment, Lee Han’s instinct issued a strong warning.
A feeling I’ve felt a lot lately.
It was the same sensation that the nerves of the whole body were on edge when Professor Voladi was attacking without hesitation.
“…Shield, unfold!”
Lee Han memorized the order without hesitation.
It could have been stupid to use magic first when the situation was not confirmed, but the story was different for Lee Han.
A person who can waste as much as he wants in this situation!
“Wardanaz?! why?!”
“Salcho defend!”
“…i get it!”
At Lee Han’s cry, Salko went into defense preparations with the Black Turtle Tower students.
Kang!
The attack landed on top of the water shield with a sharp sound.
Lee Han hardened his expression at the dagger falling without being able to pierce the thick water shield.
It seemed like a flimsy attack because it couldn’t penetrate the water shield, but this was absolutely not the case.
‘They know how to deal with wizards!’
Because he was so sick of being hurt by Professor Voladi, he was well aware of how other enemies dealt with wizards when they went into battle.
– It doesn’t matter which way. Enemies take down the mage first.
-I see… Wizards will be a variable in many ways. How should I prepare?
-perfectly.
-…I haven’t recovered yet… Gut!
A grandiose attack takes a long time to prepare and is noisy.
A single dagger was enough to defeat an unprepared wizard.
The problem is that Lee Han felt the need to live first and went into defense.
“Shield, unfold. Heat, distort the air!”
It was bad luck for the enemies.
Originally, not many wizards were skilled in combat.
Even more so if you are a student at a magic school.
“You feet, fold the ground. Arise, warriors of bone!”
It didn’t take even a few seconds, but the enemies were astonished at the sight of raising the defense while casting magic in a row in an instant.
“What is that bastard?!”
“Damn it, it’s the senior year! get ready! He’s the one who’s learned how to fight magic properly!”
“…I’ll make you regret meeting Ein Lorgard’s 5th graders!”
“Shit…! All in all, I have no luck!”
“……”
While the students of the Black Turtle Tower were hiding behind a barrier made of water and soil, they looked at Lee Han with puzzled expressions.
* * *
The Empire’s notorious organization of adventurers, < The Serpent of the Maple >.
Imperial adventurers care about their reputation and pay attention, but among them there were those who accepted illegal requests regardless of that.
< The Serpent in the Maple > was such a group.
Those who would accept all sorts of illegal requests if they were given the right amount of gold!
Of course, the < Snake of the Maple > would not have touched Einrogard, where the empire’s prominent mages were usually gathered.
Even a villain without blood and tears was not without intelligence. The more vicious money-makers were, the quicker they noticed and the more sensitive they were to strength.
But this time the story was different.
A very expensive request came in.
-There is an artifact you want in Einrogard.
-But Ein Lorgard…
-I know. It is a place that outsiders cannot easily enter. I’ll arrange a way to get in. There is a guide who entered first, so follow him and meet him. I will give you a detailed explanation.
-……
The adventurers did not ask, ‘The guide has already entered, so why do we have to enter?’
It was because they knew the answer even if they didn’t ask.
‘If you steal a wizard’s treasure and bring it out, if you can succeed with two or three lives, it’s cheap. Especially if it’s Einrogard.’
It was a proposal that smelled strongly of blood, but the adventurers did not refuse.
Isn’t the life of an adventurer a life of taking risks anyway?
What mattered was how big you made it.
-great. Let’s try our best.
“What are you going to do?!”
The adventurers shouted in harsh voices.
Even if there was no luck, there was no dirty.
I thought I would meet Einrogard’s students as soon as I came out of the well through the underground passage.
Even in 5th grade.
For adventurers who knew Ein Lorgard’s reputation, being a 5th year student was a considerable burden. Isn’t that a rare archmage among adventurers?
Besides…
“Looking at the reaction, he’s trained in magic combat! The suppression is unreasonable. I have to kill you!”
“You decided not to touch the magic school students!”
“I know, you fucking idiot! You know who doesn’t fear retaliation? But there is no way to subdue it!”
“…Fucking god. i get it! Kill!”
Adventurer Geliac gritted his teeth and nodded.
Looking at the other side now, the opponent’s mage skills were not normal.
It was amazing to block a surprise attack from an invisible direction, but within a few seconds, the fortress was half completed.
Illusions shimmered, water and earth barriers, and skeleton warriors were covering the wizards.
It was Geliak who had seen students from Einrogard a few times. I was well aware of how absurd this was.
Although he had seen students who knew how to use higher-level magic than current magic, it was the first student who succeeded in successive magic without being shaken like this in a bloody battle situation.
‘Even if you’re unlucky…’
Good!
However, Geliac was not the only one unlucky.
Even the 5th grade students I met today were quite unlucky.
As they entered the mage’s den, did Geliac and his colleagues enter without any countermeasures?
The ones who feared wizards more than anyone else were Geliac and his colleagues.
Of course, the situation where I had gathered as much anti-mage preparation as I could.
It was bad luck for a wizard to meet in such a situation.
“Tear up the scroll! hurry!”
“shut up! How much does this cost… Go!”
When Geliac tore the scroll, a tremendous storm of magical power began to rise.
An ancient magic scroll that can no longer be crafted!
It was a scroll with a built-in < Storm of Magic Crushing > spell that blows away all surrounding magic with powerful force.
Gelliac’s fingertips trembled as he tore the scroll, no matter how expensive it was.
“Kuk!”
“omg…!”
With a painful sound, the students of the Black Turtle Tower fell to their knees with pale faces.
At the same time, the barriers, illusions, and summons all disappeared.
As the cast magic was forcibly canceled, the connected wizard himself was also hit.
‘Looking at it again, it’s powerful.’
It was a shame that it was filthy expensive, but there was no death sentence like this for a wizard.
If you invest a lot of mana and cast a spell, it will erase it at once and shake the mana.
A surprise attack that pinpoints the weakness of a wizard who cannot use magic without magical power.
In addition, the more excellent the wizard, the easier it was.
Gelian had seen before that a 5th circle mage could be subdued with just one of these scrolls.
“Shield, unfold. Heat, distort the air. Feet, fold the earth. Rise up, warriors of bones…”
“…??!?!?”
That’s why Gelian couldn’t help but blink his eyes when the 5th year student spread the magic again as if nothing had happened.
