Chapter 355
“Yes. Tell the other followers to stay inside the Mage Tower.”
“No, there’s no such thing…”
Lee Han said nonsense, and his friends were more embarrassed.
“Pengerin. Let’s go find the prince quickly! If the prince goes missing, the great aristocratic families of the empire with whom we are close will be very worried.”
“Okay! wait!”
Arcicle waddled and hurriedly walked away.
Alcicle himself came from a prestigious family in the empire, so if he was a member of the imperial family who had close ties with the great aristocratic families of the empire, he could guess how prestigious the imperial family was.
How embarrassing it would be if such a member of the royal family went missing near the magic tower of Arcicle.
I could never let go.
Yoner brushed the eyes off his hair and whispered to Yihan.
“Are there any great aristocratic families close to Kainando?”
“hmm. If I had to argue, the Wardanaj family and the Meikin family?”
“……”
Hey!
Yoner was dumbfounded at the sight of his friend tricking the wizard by cleverly playing with words in a fraction of a second.

“So how did Kainan Island get into trouble? for a moment. Rather, why are you guys here?”
“…We thought you were kidnapped, Wardanaz…”
Nilia hesitated as she explained what had happened.
Now that I’ve come, I don’t think I’ve been kidnapped.
After hearing the explanation, Lee Han started to explain.
“I was not kidnapped.”
“Yes.”
When Professor Voladi agreed, Lee Han paused for a moment.
‘for a moment. Was I kidnapped?’
Sometimes, when I was a student under a professor for a long time, I would get Stockholm Syndrome.
If you do that, even though you are kidnapped and taken away, you will say something like ‘Professor Haha needs my help, it’s no big deal, everyone don’t worry’.
“…is not it? Were you kidnapped?”
“To be honest, we are not much different from other professors.”
Eumidhus said with a slightly remorseful face.
But Eumidhus also had an excuse.
“I knew that the professors at Ein Rogard were vicious, but I didn’t know that they were chasing and harassing students during vacation. If I had known, I would have let you rest.”
“yes. You should let them rest during vacation.”
When Professor Voladi agreed with Eumidhus’ words, Lee Han unknowingly opened his eyes.
“professor?”
“Why?”
“No… nothing.”
Lee Han swallowed the shout that was about to come out.
It was clear that Professor Boladi thought that the teaching he was teaching was different from the teaching that other professors were chasing.
Maybe I thought it was a lesson like rest…
or, of course, it was a ridiculous misunderstanding. both were the same
“this way! It disappeared from this side!”
Hearing Nilia’s cry, Eumidhus stopped the chariot with a wave of his staff.
When the water spirits who had brought the wagon stopped, Alcicle immediately ran out.
Pod!
The snow falling from the air suddenly began to rise upward as if time had been rewinded.
Alcicle cleared the blizzard with a wand and immediately stepped into the air. Then, a platform made of ice formed in the air, and Alcicle’s body soared upward.
Wizards didn’t have to search down the valley in a snowstorm.
Especially if it was a mage who had reached a level like Alcicle.
“Ice, disappear! Eyes, hide your face!”
Alcicle cleared the ice and snow from the snow mountain valley.
The white mountain turned to dark gray in an instant.
‘amazing!’
As a wizard, Lee Han couldn’t help but admire Alcicle’s skill.
To clear this amount of ice and snow at once.
“Spirit, find the living! Is this right?”
“yes!”
“It’s a big deal! big deal! What will the people of the empire think of me if the prince gets hurt! Don’t you think that a visitor to the front yard of the tower is an idiot who can’t take care of it properly!”
“Calm down. Alcicle. Prince Cainando is a magician, so he has the ability to protect himself.”
Eumidhus soothed Alcicle, but Alcicle shook his head round and round as if he didn’t want to hear it.
In the meantime, Lee Han talked with his friends.
“They disappeared from here?”
“huh. When I looked back, it was gone.”
Nilia and her friends had been chasing them on horseback for quick pursuit.
If Professor Lightning Walk had seen it, it was an excellent horseback riding technique that would have made him happy and said, ‘Everyone learned it properly in the first semester.’
However, Kainando, who was in the rear, looked back just before reaching the mage tower and was gone.
“Why did you disappear?”
“Isn’t a monster appearing or possessed by an evil spirit?”
“If monsters or evil spirits appeared, you guys would have noticed… Didn’t you find a fallen person by any chance?”
To Lee Han’s words, all of his friends answered at the same time.
“It can’t be.”
“Mrs. Wardanaz. Does that make sense?”
“It would be better to say that I found a wizard card that fell on the floor…”
“……”
Lee Han felt a little pity for Gainando at the cold reaction of his friends.
“I can’t. My alter ego, help me!”
Alcicle pulled out the magic he had been saving for magic.
The ice clone took shape and changed into a figure that looked just like Alcicle.
Among ordinary clone magic, the level of clone magic that is so similar to that of a wizard that it is difficult to distinguish is very high and difficult.
Lee Han once again admired the way he completed such an alter ego with the already difficult ice element.
“Awesome…”
“Do you like that magic?”
“yes?”
Lee Han was taken aback by Professor Voladi’s question.
To think that the professor was by his side and accidentally caught his guard.
“No…”
Before he could stop, Professor Voladi approached Alcicle and said.
“Just teach me magic.”
“…What are you talking about!? Why do I have to teach you this?!”
Of course, Alcicle jumped up.
I’m busy, but I’m suddenly here, so I’m telling you to teach me the magic of my secret alter ego.
Which wizard would agree?
“You want to learn.”
“Should I teach everyone who wants to learn!?”
“Did I teach you everything?”
Alcicle flinched when Eumidhus spoke from the side.
In fact, Eumidhus really taught the people who came to learn without hiding it.
“This magic is difficult, so it’s not time to learn it yet. I need to lay the groundwork more…”
Alcicle, who was talking, recalled the magic that Lee Han had shown him today.
There was no foundation that seemed to need to be further laid. “…
I need to
learn more intermediate magic, not the basics…”
“Is that what you mean!”
I’m sure they had a conversation earlier when only Eumidhus and Voladi Baegrek were there.
– You learn a little faster than I thought.
-A little??
-Eat sardines. If you learn this quickly, you might lose your motivation, but I’ll have to think about giving you a slightly more difficult task. Wizards become stronger when they have a goal they want.
The basics are obviously important, but it was dangerous to teach only the basics to a wizard with excellent talent.
If you don’t, you may lose interest.
All wizards needed a lofty goal.
An intense goal that can cross any thorny road for that goal!
…so I thought about which cold elemental magic to target, but this wasn’t it.
This was a magic I really cherished…
“I’m fine. Mr Penguin. It must be that Pengerin-sama doesn’t like me.”
Lee Han smiled bitterly while pretending to stop.
Feeling guilty at that smile, Alcicle hesitated and finally shouted.
“okay! The next goal is not to be done with this! Ballady Bagleg. You son of a bitch!”
“Why are you angry?”
“shut up!”
As the two continued to fight, Nelia shouted.
“It’s nice to see everyone fighting, but there’s smoke over there!!”
“?!”
As Nylia said, smoke was rising from far away in the valley.

“Thank you. Your Highness the Prince.”
“Because it’s a natural thing to do as a person born with an honorable duty.”
Gainando did not yet know what honor meant, but he did not hesitate to use it himself.
The noble with a broken ankle nodded with a moved face.
“What would have happened had it not been for His Highness the Prince… More than that, I was surprised that His Highness the Prince knew how to do even such a thing.”
“…It’s something any Einrogard student can do.”
“Until you are humble!”
“I am not humble.”
Gainando put a splint on the noble’s broken ankle and pushed him into the cave.
Although they can’t use healing magic like Lee Han, the Einro Guard students basically had no choice but to learn how to apply a splint.
When Gainando took out a cookie from his bag, the nobleman said no.
“I’m fine…”
Little by little-
“Huh? what?”
“Oh, nothing.”
It was close to heavenly luck that Kainando found the fainting nobleman.
He fell off his horse and rolled down the side of the valley, fainting and then a blizzard.
If it wasn’t for the magician card dropped by the nobles, Guinando wouldn’t have looked away.
“By the way, Your Highness the Prince. It was a wise decision to move to the cave to escape the blizzard… but will those… colleagues really come?”
“ah. Because you don’t have to worry.”
Gainando confidently tapped his chest.
“I have said everything. He must be calling others to help.”
Of course, Kainando’s cry of ‘wait a minute’ was not heard at all because of the strong snowstorm and the sound of horses’ hooves.
“Guinan Island!!!”
“look.”
Gainando nodded proudly. The aristocrat’s face also brightened.
“I’m so glad…”
Exactly!
“evil!!”
“Why do you worry about your friends by disappearing without saying anything?”
Upon arriving, the nobleman blinked in surprise at the sight of His Highness’s friends beating and harassing His Highness.
‘Aren’t they… close friends?’
“I said something! I said! Those bastards are lying!”
“Didn’t you change direction without checking after you just said it in that situation?”
“……”
Gainando, speechless, hesitated.
Lee Han sighed and said.
“I’m glad you weren’t hurt.”
“Did you really save someone?”
“Shh. Ratford. Cainan will also listen.”
Friends were very surprised.
Could it be that he was really in distress trying to save someone?
Gainando asked, unaware of the wicked hearts of his friends.
“Did you follow the mark I left?”
“What mark did you leave?”
“You came by drawing an arrow on the floor.”
Lee Han sighed as he drew an arrow on the floor in the midst of a snowstorm, wondering how he should scold this friend.
“Your Highness the Prince! Where did you get hurt…!”
Alcicle, who landed next to Lee Han, ran hurriedly.
Then he saw Kainando’s face and tilted his head.
“I’m seeing you for the first time, who are you…?”
“This is Cainan Island.”
“uh… I don’t think you’re even twenty…?”
Alcicle looked at Lee Han and was embarrassed.
I thought he was a prince who must have been 30 or 40 years old…?
“He is our friend. thank you Mr. Pengerin.”
“Ugh huh? that’s right Yes, but… that’s… uh…”
Alcicle felt that he had been tricked, but tilted his head, not knowing exactly how.
In the meantime, the fallen aristocrat rose from his seat.
“Alcicle Pengerin. It is an honor to meet you.”
“…Hick!”
Alcicle hiccupped and averted his gaze.
Lee Han was amazed to see Alcicle surprised like that.
‘what? Can the opponent be an assassin?’
“Who are you?”
“Ah… oh my. It’s a big deal.”
Surprisingly, Eumidhus also had a worried expression on his face.
“Looking at your outfit, you’re an inspector.”
“Are you the inspector?”
“The inspector sent by the investors who invested in magic research in Alcicle. They came to check the results.”
“……”
Lee Han could sincerely sympathize with Alcicle’s pain.
