Chapter 310
The two adventurers ask, ‘Isn’t Ein Lorgard a magic school? What did he teach the knights from the family?’ While confused, Lee Han approached the fallen mercenaries.
Buldahak, who came to his senses, flinched when he saw Yihan.
They realized who had caused the magical storm that had just happened.
“You bastard…”
“Sharkan.”
Lee Han called Sharkan to watch over the mercenaries.
It was tied tight, but I didn’t know who would do what.
However, Buldahak seemed to understand the appearance of Sharkan in a slightly different way. He looked away with fearful eyes.
“name.”
“Bull… Buldahak.”
“Murderous wagon raid threat… Anyway, is he the one with the imperial bounty?”
Buldahak nodded. Lee Han was delighted and said to Gu Bon.
“That’s right.”
“…Excuse me, but you seem to be happy…”
“Did you get some extra silver coins?”
“……”
Lee Han’s idea shocked Goo Bon and Vizidek.
“Yes, but…”
“Don’t worry. We will distribute it as you agreed in the beginning.”
“It’s strange that Buldahak came here, not because I was worried about that.”
Like a seasoned adventurer, Gu Bon noticed something strange.
Lee Han and the students chose mostly the quests that were close to Granden City and not too dangerous.
Intriguing quests that are not dangerous but require professional abilities (such as magic from a wizard).
These quests made quite a bit of money, but they weren’t quests for a mercenary with a bounty like Buldahak.
Why did someone who should be aiming for a big shot appear here?
“indeed.”
“We need to interrogate him.”
“understand. But will he really spit out the truth?”
Lee Han asked as if he was worried.
“He seems pretty scared right now. I was shocked by the wizard’s magic. If you interrogate him now, he might spew out the truth.”
The students of Einrogard say that magic is something that gets hit even while sleeping, but magic is still an unknown fear to the people of the empire.
Moreover, the way Lee Han overpowered his enemies was unusual even by the standards of wizards.
While keeping the opponent off guard, he preoccupied the back with invisibility magic. Honbibaeksan with lightning magic rampage using darkness. A diversionary attack whose location is unknown to those who try to counterattack somehow.
It wasn’t strange that the souls of the enemy mercenaries went out in half because they were attacked so many times that even one hit made them lose their senses.
Now, those mercenaries were trembling because they didn’t know where Lee Han was from, a battle mage.
“Buddhism. Explain why you are here.”
“…because of the cave’s treasure.”
Buldahak gritted his teeth and said.
As a mercenary with thick bones, he knew very well that lying had no meaning in front of a wizard of that caliber.
The moment you show any fuss or pride, your skin will be torn, your bones broken, and even your soul torn apart.
“hmm. Right.”
Lee Han nodded and pretended to listen.
And whispered to Gubon.
“This guy is a very meticulous guy. You even prepared a lie in case you get caught.”
“yes?”
Gubon and Vizidek were confused as to what the cave’s treasure was.
“Is that a lie?”
“Of course it is. There’s no way a guy with a bounty like that could easily answer a question at once.”
“I wonder if he was frightened by the wizard…”
Vizidek said cautiously.
There was something he had just experienced, and an emerald-colored beast summoned next to him growling.
Even a mercenary with a bounty several times higher than Buldahak’s would give up and tell the truth.
“Magic is not so omnipotent. You two help me.”
“How do you mean?”
“Let’s interrogate with the skills of an adventurer.”
“Ohh…”
The White Tiger Tower students looked at Gubon and Vizidek with mixed expressions of anticipation.
Although he was trained as a knight, it was the first time he had ever seen an adventurer interrogate him like this.
How will you interrogate?
“……”
“……”
Gubon and Vizidek looked at each other. I got a little cold sweat on my back.
‘You have to do your best. Got it?’
‘of course.’
* * *
“Quaaaaaaagh! This father sticks with the devil, and the mother commits adultery with the monster… Kwaaaaagh! Aagh!”
“Can’t you tell me the truth!”
“I can’t fool the eyes of the wizards here!”
Gu Bon and Vizidek interrogated Buldahak using all the experience of veteran adventurers.
Buldahak twisted his whole body under the painful torture.
“You said that! said! Ask the other bastards too!!!”
“Shut up! Tell the truth quickly!”
Woo-woo-woo-woo!
Lee Han and the White Tiger Tower students watched the interrogation with serious expressions.
Anrago whispered.
“That’s how you put a bar between your legs and twist it. It must be quite painful.”
Rapadell replied.
“I have to admit that it is a good method. As the seniors said, there is a lot to learn from adventurers.”
When Buldahak passed out, Gubon and Vizidek wiped the sweat from their foreheads and sighed.
He poured the cold water summoned by Lee Han into a tin cup and handed it to him.
“Take it easy.”
“yes. thank you.”
Energized by Lee Han’s support, the two adventurers turned their attention to Buldahak’s subordinate.
The subordinates trembled pitifully.
and thirty minutes later.
The two adventurers said very sorry.
“sorry. With our technology, it’s no longer…”
“Wizard. I’m sorry for daring to ask for magic, but is there any way you can find out the truth from him?”
“Ugh. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to do that kind of magic either. I tried to figure out his feelings…”
“Is that so. … yes?”
The two adventurers hesitated.
If you can identify your emotions, can’t you tell if they’re true or a lie?
“Has he been lying all along?”
“no. The feeling was close to the truth.”
“…Uh… Ma Mage. I don’t know much about magic, but isn’t Buddha Dahak telling the truth?”
Lee Han smiled and shook his head as if asking what he was talking about.
“You can lie while controlling your emotions, right?”
“……”
“…Magician. It’s not like that in Buddhism, absolutely…”
At least the two adventurers knew about magic, this was certain.
If Buldahak was a mercenary of that level, the emperor’s royal knights would have come to capture him, not bounty hunters!
* * *
“You bastards, you will be damned forever.”
Buldahak, who was overcome with evil, cried out in tears.
It seemed really unfair to be interrogated even though I told the truth because I hated the pain.
“ah. You said you were sorry shut up.”
“……”
Buldahak immediately shut his mouth.
Lee Han was just saying it, but it sounded like ‘If you keep talking, you’ll pull out your tongue’ to Buldahak.
“So there’s a treasure in that cave…”
The original request was to subdue the ghouls coming out of the cave near the green hill.
It was because these ghouls came down not only to the cave but also to the nearby roadside, threatening good travelers.
It was a cumbersome quest for an adventurer without knowledge or skills to not only defeat the ghoul, but also to identify and deal with the cause of the ghoul’s appearance, but… …so rather, the Einrogard students, including wizards, took on the task
. It was a good request.
However, the story of Buddhist teachings was a little different.
According to the testimony of the thieves’ guild as well as some of the guys who entered and exited the cave, there must have been an ancient relic that hadn’t been discovered yet inside the cave.
“What are you waiting for, Wodanaz? Let’s go in!”
The White Tiger Tower friends were very excited. Even the calm Durgyu made his eyes shine.
Ancient ruins, ancient dungeons There were few occupations that were as obsessed with ancient artifacts as wizards.
The magic or knowledge that was practiced in the past was worth more than a thousand gold.
However, Lee Han was skeptical.
“Isn’t this just an idiot?”
Judging by the testimony, it was at this level.
-I got lost inside the cave, but a black light kept coming out from one side! It’s obviously the artifact’s light!
-It was a light that could never come out naturally.
– When you try to approach the surroundings, the ghouls suddenly become ferocious and attack, so it can only be an artifact!
Lee Han sighed and looked at his friends.
“That’s why you all fall into the principal’s trap every time. To be swayed by such weak rumors.”
“Kuh…”
“There’s no need to talk about that right now.”
‘principal?’
‘trap?’
The two adventurers wondered inwardly.
Goo Bon noticed and expressed his opinion.
“But, Mage. Among adventurers, that is a well-deserved testimony.”
There were many people who visited even if it was a far more vague and ridiculous rumor than the original one.
If it was a rumor like that, I would have gathered people and attacked it because I was curious about the old version.
The fact that a mercenary of about Buldahak had prepared to this extent and came all the way proved the value of that rumor.
“This isn’t the outskirts of any empire, so I don’t think there are any useful artifacts left…”
“No. Dungeons and artifacts appear more often near cities than you might think.”
Due to various natural phenomena or the magic possessed by the dungeons or ruins themselves, the surrounding environment changed and popped out more often than expected.
In that case, the adventurers who discovered it could make a fortune.
“great. I had to subdue the ghouls anyway.”
“Then are you going in?!”
Angrago shouted in excitement.
“no. The sun hasn’t risen yet.”
It was early morning, but it was too early to go in now.
“…That’s right.”
Even in the midst of this, Ang Lago was speechless at Lee Han’s cold appearance.
‘I can’t even expect this bastard.’
“In the meantime, I have work to do.”
“What is it, Wodanaz?”
Raphael listened intently.
If nothing else, Wodanaj didn’t say anything nonsense about magic.
He must have said something necessary before dealing with the ghoul.
“Let’s do a collection request while it happens. Rapadell. you are a succulent Ang. You are a geranium flower. Durgyu. you are sleepy I guess I’ll have to track down the lapel rats.”
“……”
“……”
As Lee Han and his resigned friends left, Buldahak asked while looking at Gubon.
“What are those crazy wizards all about?”
* * *
Thanks to Lee Han’s help, the friends were able to easily solve the collection request.
-Is that seolrakcho? Where the hell did you put your eyes on? Can you tell the difference between a skeleton and a ghoul?
-Do you collect flowers like that? Do flowers look like monsters? Are you really going to go back and defeat the monster like that?
“Everyone suffered.”
“……”
When the collection was finished, the day became completely bright.
It was time to finally enter the cave.
“By the way, Mage.”
Vizidek whispered so the mercenaries couldn’t hear.
“What are they going to do? If we leave it here, they might run away or come after us.”
The best thing would be to drag it to a nearby city, but everyone except Lee Han was blinded by the treasure.
“You can bring it in.”
“yes?”
Vizidek hesitated.
to bring you
I’m not suggesting that we cooperate as if we were attacking with another party…
“They might run away or start a commotion inside. It won’t be easy to control.”
“I thought of that too.”
Lee Han said that and took out a piece of bone.
Raphael wanted to see that figure.
“Bone, seize the enemy. Bone, catch the enemy. Bone, catch the enemy…”
Clap clap clap clap clap!
The mercenaries’ ankles and wrists were filled with bone restraints.
It didn’t end there.
Bone hands were summoned and clung tightly to the mercenaries’ necks. He was in a state where he could choke Lee Han’s throat with just a gesture.
“good. I guess this should be enough.”
“You… are… really… nonsense…”
Raphael said in a tired voice.
A mighty black magician who seemed to come out of a fairy tale was in front of him.
