Chapter 371
Surprisingly, there was.
“Even though my family belongs to the Beech Knights…”
“Such a relationship! I was invited by the knights of the Beech Tree Order!”
“You said you were invited?”
The knights were quite surprised by Lee Han’s words.
There was no reason to invite a wizard to a gathering of knight families.
If you’re really indebted…
“The knights of the Beech Knights were really good knights. I was so stubborn that I had to repay the favor…”
“Our Knights are like that.”
After hearing Lee Han’s praise, the article said with a relaxed face.
Of course, Lee Han internally cursed at the article.
What do you mean!
“I didn’t know you were such a friendly mage with the knights.”
“That’s right. If I had known, I would have invited you as soon as I arrived in the village.”
If you became friendly with one knight, you could become friendly with the other knights around him.
From the knights’ point of view, there was no reason not to welcome Lee Han, who seemed to have a great friendship with not only their colleagues but also the Beech Knights.
As the conversation progressed to a certain extent, Lee Han sneaked a question to his seniors.
“By the way, what were you trying to ask for?”
“ah. Ask the suspicious guys in the village to be kicked out at least with a bit of force…”
‘Surely.’
Although it sounded like an unreasonable request, it was possible if the knights put their mind to it.
The reason why the knights didn’t drive out the travelers flocking to the village wasn’t because they didn’t have the ability or authority to do so, but because they didn’t want to make more noise than necessary.
If the expelled travelers spread bad rumors here and there and cause a commotion, it would be an annoyance for nothing, so if they came with permission, they would let them through.
That’s why it was easy to find an excuse and kick them out if you set your mind to it.
The seniors didn’t ask for all the other travelers to be kicked out, but they blatantly asked for suspicious people to be kicked out, so that’s about it… “
…And while we were going in, I asked if it would be okay to block the other travelers from entering. ”
“…do you mind asking again?”
Lee Han was astonished at the appearance of these seniors without conscience.
* * *
Surprisingly, the knights even accepted requests without conscience.
“You’re the benefactor of the Beech Knights, so I’ll have to give you that much.”
“What is the honor of a knight?”
‘This looks like corruption, not honor…’
Lee Han thought so, but since he was in the position of receiving benefits, he quietly kept his mouth shut.
I hope you will listen to my request.
“For the wizards, if there are suspicious travelers, you have no choice but to be concerned.”
“I will adjust the order of sending and entering the village.”
The knights escorted Lee Han and his party to an empty lot in the middle of the village. The seniors who saw the knights waving their hands and shouting to enter carefully said.
“Couldn’t the Wardanaj family have bought those knights?”
“Even if I bought it, I don’t think it would be that much…”
“No. We are just acquaintances.”
“That’s an acquaintance…!?”
“Ah, was your acquaintance this strong?”
The seniors fell into confusion at Lee Han’s absurd excuse.
If they know each other, what have they been up to?
“Anyway, you did really well. Junior. Thanks to you, I can go in comfortably.”
“Why don’t you hang out in town like other freshmen? Originally, it’s what we should do, but I’m sorry that you did everything…”
-Dare to use the dark magic curse deck!? Are you ignoring me!?
– It doesn’t matter what card I use! Don’t give up and make excuses!
“…don’t play like that.”
“Quickly go and dry it!”
At Diret’s cry, the seniors rushed out.

Dressed up as a luxurious traveler, Bak De Gul was sitting on the first floor of the < Twitter Sparrow > inn.
Like other wizards and travelers, Bakdeugul had rented the entire inn.
Not only was it convenient to operate…
…because anti-magicists were not usually welcome guests in the Empire.
Bakdeogul sat down and was embarrassed.
“You were banished?”
“Yes…”
“Try to say it again.”
“So that’s it.”
The subordinate was also quite embarrassed, so he calmly explained again.
First of all, two parties were expelled from the village for being suspicious of the knights, and the other party was kicked out because they had a big fight while playing some wizard card game.
Bakdeogul’s mouth opened wide.
At best, all you have to do is hire a party, get permission for these parties to enter the dimension, and now wait and go in…
Three of four parties are kicked out.
It was so absurd that I couldn’t believe it.
Bakdeogul scratched his cheek and lowered his voice.
“You didn’t get caught, did you?”
“That is absolutely not the case.”
The subordinate hastily denied it.
It was because he knew very well that even if he looked like a loafer with thick pockets on the outside, there was a cold-blooded man who could kill his subordinates at any time.
“If they got caught, wouldn’t there be no reason to kick the other party guys out without messing with us? I’m just going to raise my guard!”
“Well…”
Bakdeogul thought the subordinate’s words were plausible.
If their identities as anti-magicians were discovered, they were immediately surrounding the inn, so there was no need to raise their guard by expelling other limbs.
It was clearly a coincidence.
“It looks like the superiors of the knights are coming or they are arguing for other reasons. This is so…”
Bakdeogul kept his mouth shut and thought about what to do.
The most important thing that Bakdeogul’s gang was focusing on right now was to collect mountain mushrooms as much as possible.
A mountain of these rare mushrooms was needed for the Great Gye.
So I brought mercenaries with me as an adventurer, but my hands and feet shrunk before I even started.
“I can’t help it. For now, contact the people waiting outside.”
“What would you like to send?”
“Retrieve the gold coins from those who were kicked out.”
“Park De Gul. Judging by the personalities of the hired guys, I don’t think they’d be willing to give it out in this situation…”
Usually, as it’s a bit suspicious and rough to take on such a request, there were many cases where they didn’t pay the down payment even if they failed the request by mistake.
“Of course, you can’t just tell me to put it into words. Tell them to kill and take it.”
“I’m sorry.”
“I have no choice but to join one party… Rather, I wouldn’t understand if the knights were arguing. It is said to kill in a particularly painful way.”
“I guess he’s angry that his opponent won by using a dark magic curse deck.”
“…Well… even if you don’t have luck, you’re really dirty. To meet such a nasty bastard in such a remote village.”
“yes. It’s really unbelievable.”
“That’s Okay. Then just tell me to kill it comfortably.”
Bakdeogul canceled what he had said.
If I had met someone like that, I would have been able to understand a little about their fuss.
“You know I can’t forgive you if things go wrong, right? Now there must be no misunderstanding.”
“Myeong… I keep that in mind. Do not worry! I’ve already baked and boiled the knights properly. They will inform us at least a day before the others!”
* * *
“Shh. Everyone please come out quietly. Dimensions are getting closer. It will open in an hour.”
To Professor Mortum’s dismay, knights knocked cautiously on the inn door in the middle of the night and whispered in.
Then he looked at the students of the Dark Magic School and asked.
“Coke… how much money did you give me? Surely you haven’t used up all your public money?”
“no. professor.”
“Here, my junior persuaded me.”
Professor Mortum looked at Lee Han as if he were a monster and then nodded.
“It’s good that you informed me in advance. Coke. Let’s go in.”
As the wizards came out, the knights spoke confidently.
“I will try to hide this fact as much as possible from others. If you do well, you should be able to earn more than two days.”
“…is that really okay?”
Lee Han tried to be patient, but in the end he couldn’t stand it and asked the question.
Can I really do this??
“This much is for honor.”
“Have a good trip.”
“……”
Lee Han moved his steps, thinking about what the honor of a knight is.
It wasn’t even dawn yet, so the students yawned and walked down the trail.
“!”
Lee Han’s expression hardened first. Professor Mortum looked at it and said admiringly.
“Did you sense the magic already? Haven’t I done it yet?”
“ah. Guinando ate all his share of snacks…”
“……”
Professor Mortum felt embarrassed for nothing.
And the group walked again.
“!!”
“…You must have sensed magic…”
“Yes.”
“Collock is great!”
Professor Mortum praised Lee Han. Fortunately, this time it was true that he really sensed magic.
“Negative mana is rushing in. Is this the overlap?”
“Yes. The stagnant mana is affected by the surrounding environment, causing explosive abnormalities.”
Professor Mortum pointed forward.
It was already dark, but the wizards could feel an even thicker darkness settling on top of that darkness.
“come.”
“The juniors are in the back. Don’t get hurt by standing in front of me.”
bang!
A wave of powerful magic that only a wizard could feel burst out.
It was so powerful that the seniors around it stumbled or fell to their knees.
Direth managed to keep her balance and looked at the first graders behind her.
“Everyone’s fine… I’m fine.”
“Because only Lee Han is okay…!”
Gainando, who fell down on the Rapad El, grumbled and stood up.
Except for Lee Han, everyone else was lying on the floor.
“It was opened. Let’s all go in!”
“yes!”
“For gold coins! For abundant black magic research!”
After shouting slogans that were embarrassing to shout in front of others, the seniors started running.
The knights tilted their heads and asked.
“What magic just…”
“Then see you next time!”
Lee Han also rushed in with his friends.
* * *
“Damn it. It is a cave.”
“No luck.”
“Think good. Rather, mushrooms come out more often in caves.”
The students of the school of black magic who passed through the dimensional door grumbled.
Originally, the terrain of another dimension did not come out as the wizard wanted. To some extent, I had to be lucky.
The best was the terrain that was open and easy to move around…
but the dark, narrow and complicated cave-like terrain was not so good.
“Coke. Remember what everyone has learned. Use magic as carefully as possible. Use black magic more carefully. Fighting is avoided as much as possible…”
Along with the words, Professor Mortum brandished his staff. Dark vision magic was applied to everyone present.
“…Move slowly. Don’t be loud. Don’t warm yourself up.”
“professor. I have a question.”
Lee Han asked cautiously.
“Coke. What?”
“Is my magical power okay? He has a lot of magical power…”
After Lee Han’s words, a senior next to him said as if it was okay.
“If you have a lot of magical power, it’s a little more twisted, but it’s okay. I’ll give you some medicine.”
“Coke. He can’t do that.”
“……”
“……”
“And it doesn’t matter. With your magic, the undead in District 1 will run away.”
Seniors were astonished.
Of course, I learned from learning that magic power can be intimidating when there is an overwhelming amount beyond a little bit…
…I never thought I’d actually see that!
“Seniors?”
“Why do you call me junior?”
“……”
