Chapter 258
“Patrol isn’t as bad as I thought.”
At first, I wondered if it would make sense for a first-year student to have to go on patrol at a magic school, but as my pockets got heavier, I changed my mind.
Lee Han patrolled two rooms used for food storage and one room used for reagent storage, sneaking useful items with skillful hand movements.
If Ratford had seen it, he would have been admiring it with tears in his eyes.
-for a moment.
“!”
Lee Han was nervous.
Did you hear me?
‘It was obviously blind.’
-I think Mr. Wardanaz is hungry. Let’s bring something.
– Oops. It did. When this becomes undead, hunger disappears and it is mistaken.
– It’s time for young people to eat. Are you old enough to chew on stones?
The Death Knights walked to the corner of the grocery storeroom and rummaged through the boxes.
Then he brought hard long bread and a tightly sealed glass jar of fresh vegetables to eat, such as salami.
– I brought it roughly. I don’t know if it will suit your taste.
– It’s been too long since I ate.
“Thank you.”
Lee Han couldn’t help but be embarrassed to see the death knights take care of a bag of food like a benevolent grandfather.
“But can I do this?”
-ha ha ha! You are a sincere student.
– Of course not. But what can I do? I eat to work.
The knights from the old kingdom, whose name is no longer passed down, were very tolerant of breaking the rules.
Shouldn’t you eat when you’re hungry and drink when you’re thirsty?
What’s more, helping with school work!
‘no. It’s alcohol, right?’
Lee Han, who opened the lid of the glass bottle, was surprised.
“Can I have a drink while I’m on patrol?”
-ha ha ha! Of course not. But since the work is ours, Mr. Wardanaz can quench his thirst.
-When we go back, we have to fill our stomachs again with black bread and cold rice balls. Have a good meal.
‘These days, knights should follow the old knights.’
Lee Han was moved by the mercy and courage shown by the Death Knights.
The White Tiger Tower guys will learn from watching this…
While Lee Han was eating, the Death Knights spoke next to him.
-Finding a rat that originally escaped into the maze is taking longer than expected. Mr. Wodanaz is young and ambitious, so it’s understandable that he wants to find out for himself, but don’t overdo it.
-that’s right. It wouldn’t be bad to diligently fill the time suggested by the master and go to work.
“…for a moment. Don’t you have that ambition?”
Lee Han, who was cutting bread and sausage with a pocket knife, hesitated.
The Death Knights nodded with benevolent faces.
-okay. Originally, true ambitious people often say that they have no ambition.
-There’s no such thing as a real ambitious person among those who claim to be ambitious.
“No…”
Lee Han wanted to point out that the Death Knights’ words were logically wrong, but the Death Knights did not listen to Lee Han.
Originally, when you get older, you don’t listen to young people well.
‘Ein Rogard needs a rule to send those who spread rumors to the punishment room.’
Lee Han gave up and finished eating.
‘Certainly, patrol isn’t as bad as I thought.’
Unlike the first time he wanted to attack the skeleton principal, there were many benefits.
I was able to get close with the Death Knights, and in the meantime, I was able to borrow items from some warehouses, and I was able to check the places I was curious about… The
Death Knights didn’t care much about what Lee Han borrowed from the warehouse.
Everyone seemed to think, ‘I’m young, but I can steal a little bit’.
Lee Han, who was drawing a map with a quill, nodded.
To use the remaining time as efficiently as possible…
“Okay. Let’s go downstairs this time.”
-Follow me wherever you go!
* * *
Giduff, Duke of Ikhaldoren’s henchman, had to struggle to endure the rising fear.
In fact, anyone would have been the same.
How could he remain sane when he was hiding alone in the middle of Einrogard, where the alert was high?
G-Duff was known for being cool and calm, but his rationality was gradually wearing away.
‘It was a mistake to trust the < Serpent in the Maple >. okay. It was a mistake to trust them.’
Experienced adventurers who know how to deal with wizards who will do anything for gold coins.
I thought I would be able to come inside.
It wasn’t even that Giduff was asking for much.
I was thinking of just coming in quietly and quietly stealing and stealing out…
These crazy adventurers are going to die, so they die gracefully.
Seeing the evil and great wizard Gonadaltes walking around every night, warning, “You will die even if you come out, and you will die even if you do not come out,” made Giduff nervous.
Click –
Giduff opened the lid of the bronze pendant.
‘Three times left.’
A very powerful artifact, it was one of the lifelines that saved Giduff’s life.
A powerful artifact that skillfully paralyzes surrounding magic when activated once!
It was a magic school where all kinds of magic barriers and patrols wandered around. Even the Archmage could be caught with a single mistake.
Geeduff was quite proficient in stealth magic, but that alone wasn’t enough. Without this artifact, it would have been discovered long ago.
It was disappointing that the number of uses was fixed, but…
‘I’ll have to prepare soon.’
Giduff pulled out another artifact.
It was an artifact in the form of a small stone statue.
“Goldineus, the great wizard, I respect you, change me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Giduff’s body turned into a stone statue.
Powerful magic that even high-ranking change wizards cannot easily imitate.
This artifact was one of Giduff’s other lifelines.
It was disguised as a stone statue, changing its location every few days, like a bronze pendant.
Until one day the boundaries are lifted.
‘Don’t let anyone come in. Let no one come in.’
jump!
“So there was a byway behind the stairs at the main entrance on the first floor?”
-That’s how it is. really. Please don’t tell the master.
“Do not worry.”
When a group of Death Knights came in, Giduff was so surprised that his heart froze.
If it hadn’t been for the state where his body had turned into a stone statue, he would have groaned and said ‘Ouch’.
Those Death Knights, servants of Gonadaltes, each had bloody fighting power, and were ready to summon all nearby enemies the moment they touched them.
Giduff just wished that the Death Knights would quickly disappear.
“What room is this?”
-Well… In fact, there are many rooms in the magic school that are created and changed when you close your eyes and open them. Of course I can’t close my eyes!
– Uh ha ha ha ha ha ha!
-Kuh ha ha ha ha ha!
“…uhahahahahahaha!”
Lee Han smiled before it was too late.
Like the Undead, who don’t have much fun, the Death Knights took great pride in their jokes.
Fortunately, Lee Han had an extraordinary ability to laugh no matter what the professors said.
-Is it a warehouse room?
-It looks like a place to keep art. paintings and statues.
‘That’s right.’
Lee Han was sorry.
If there were no secret passages, alleys, food, or reagents, the room would be just trash.
-Don’t be too sorry. Wardanaz County.
One of the Death Knights might have noticed Lee Han’s intentions and gave him advice.
-A room like this that no one seems to be interested in is surprisingly useful. It’s good to keep something because no one cares.
“!”
Lee Han was attracted to the words of the Death Knight.
‘Certainly I need some space these days.’
When I first entered the tower, I never thought that there would be a shortage of space.
There were not enough private rooms and even a resting room.
However, as time passed, things gradually increased.
Starting with groceries bought from outside, various reagents and materials piled up for the assignment, books and wads of paper… These days, Lee Han-eun
seemed to understand why seniors secretly hid stolen materials in a secret warehouse in the middle of a mountain range.
There is no space inside the tower, but if you place it roughly around, other tower students may steal it (even your own tower students).
In order to become a good magic school student, you must have at least three or four secret warehouses that others do not know about.
‘At this point, I don’t know if it’s a squirrel hiding acorns or a wizard.’
“I’m sure no one will touch it if you throw some crates inside.”
-yes. Isn’t there an old adage to hide a dead body in the woods?
“?”
‘Isn’t that the old saying, ‘If you want to hide a tree, hide it in the forest?’
Lee Han thought so, but he didn’t point it out out of consideration for the Death Knights.
Maybe back in the day…
-Mr. Wardanaz. Are you trying to use it as a secret warehouse?
“yes.”
Another Death Knight intervened.
-Everything is nice, but this room is too cluttered. I recommend taking half of it off. Anyway, even if you pile light guys at the entrance, students won’t come in anyway.
“I see…”
Lee Han nodded.
It would certainly look good to get rid of the bulky ones.
“Can I take the statues and statues outside?”
– Mr. Wardanaz. As I always say, nothing is impossible in this world. You just have to do it.
-There are statues around the main entrance. let’s put it there
“Uh… can I?”
– Mr. Wardanaz. I always say…
“Okay. Let’s try cleaning it up.”
Lee Han and the Death Knights began to move the statues out one by one.
However, Lee Han and the others did not know.
That one of the statues was in contemplation and was screaming inwardly!
‘No… No!’
Giduff felt his heart harden.
In order to escape, it was essential to release the transformation in a place where no one could see and prepare to use the artifact.
By the way, it’s in front of the main gate.
Isn’t it a place where all the beings of the magic school open their eyes and watch?
The moment you release the transformation, you will die instantly in less than a second.
‘no! No way! That’s no good!’
Giduff didn’t understand the current situation.
And I couldn’t understand who the boy between the Death Knights was.
It seems like a first year student, but why the hell are you walking around with Death Knights?
There were so many things I didn’t understand that I wondered if all of this was a joke by Gonadaltes.
Giduff’s true identity has already been discovered, and isn’t the vicious Gonadaltes doing this to mock Giduff?
“By the way, what are these statues used for?”
-Students will make productions as a hobby and have lectures? Later, when I need magic, I take it and use it.
-There must be a statue making club. Wardanaz-kun is still in his first year, so he probably couldn’t join the club.
“……”
Even if Lee Han joined the club, he never wanted to join a statue making club.
* * *
“Thank you for today.”
-what. Wardanaj did a really good job, so we liked it better.
-Let’s meet again next time and study hard!
Lee Han saw off the Death Knights and came inside.
My heart was heavy because there were still tasks to be done, but I didn’t feel too bad.
‘By the way, where is the intruder hiding?’
Although he didn’t know who he was, Lee Han thought the opponent was really terrible.
To endure so tenaciously in the middle of enemy lines.
What are you doing?
‘I should hope we don’t run into each other.’
Lee Han prayed that he would not run into them while wandering around.
An intruder of that level would surely be a formidable opponent.
