Chapter 417
: Are you dissatisfied with the magic of Wardanaz? No matter how you do it, you’re doing too much.’
Anrago thought to himself.
No matter how it is, Professor Ein Rogard would have no choice but to admit that he did well if he saw Wodanaz now.
But why are you so dissatisfied?
Even if it was strict, it was too strict.
“Wizard. Would you like to take a break for a while?”
“yes?”
Baldororn, who was sighing, was taken aback by the adventurers’ questions.
I didn’t do anything but take a break.
How can you take a break because you’re noticing?
“It’s okay.”
“Huh… is that so? All right.”
The adventurers accepted it with a surprised expression. Waldororn wondered if he had made a mistake.
‘Oops…!’
Come to think of it, it wasn’t because of Baldur Orn that the adventurers asked to take a break, it was because of Lee Han.
The wizard’s magical power was not infinite, and if he continued to use magic like that, it was right to take a break.
“That’s not it!”
“The wizard is stricter than I thought. Anyway…”
“Shh. You shouldn’t go against planting. Quiet.”
Realizing it belatedly, Baldor Orn hurriedly tried to rectify the situation, but the adventurers had already responded ‘Oh my God! You’re terribly strict,’ he whispered.
Suddenly, Baldororn, who had become a strict and terrible person like an old wizard, was crying.
“Uh… let’s take a break and then go.”
“yes? I’m fine.”
“I am not okay.”
“haha. Mr. Valdororn. If you’re worried about me, that’s fine. It has plenty of magic power.”
“……”
* * *
The summoning wizards and warlocks who participated in the < Boltzman's Call > festival crossed their arms and glared at the black rock.
“Hmm.”
“Hmm.”
“Big.”
“Curham.”
“…Can we stop now and acknowledge each other? I don’t know…”
“Quiet! Be quite!”
“Who admitted not knowing! It’s not over yet!”
After the conference or festival that they put their heart and soul into, the wizards tend to be temporarily free.
Few were as bored as these wizards.
After the festival, the wizards gathered in a nearby village to have a chat, and after hearing the rumors going around, they were attracted.
-A strange phenomenon is happening in the forest of black rocks due to magical powers?
– Then, why don’t we compete to see who can solve it first?
Curiosity is a virtue that must be possessed by a wizard.
After hearing the interesting rumors, the wizards rushed into the forest.
There were illusions blocking entry, but they were no match for seasoned wizards.
As a result of searching the surroundings, the wizards discovered that magic power was concentrated in a single point in the forest.
-Magic energy is being concentrated on the black rock here… It’s strange. I don’t know why it’s being focused.
-That’s true, but isn’t it strange that such an ordinary rock can continue to withstand this amount of magical power? It seems that there is something.
-I heard from the villagers that this rock is so old that it existed even before the forest got its name. If the magical energy of the forest continued to accumulate, it would explain why it was so solid.
-Even if that’s explained, why is the flow of magical energy in the forest converging this way?
– Hmm.
-Huhmm…
Even if a peculiar phenomenon had occurred, the wizards gathered here knew that they would be able to solve it, so they ran to it, but when the problem was not resolved and they got stuck, the wizards’ faces began to sweat.
Originally, we had to put our heads together and exchange opinions to solve it, but the wizards gathered here were not from the same school or guild.
Until a few days ago, they had been competing with each other at the festival.
It was hard to admit it easily even because of pride.
‘I can’t admit it first. If they admit it first…’
‘I will never admit it first! If those bastards admit it first…’
While the wizards were groaning around the black rock, Lee Han and his party opened the way and appeared from afar.
“!”
Lee Han was surprised to see the black rock located in the place where the magical power of the forest was the thickest and the wizards surrounding the rock.
“Someone came first.”
“Oh no!”
The adventurers shouted as their complexion changed.
He looked even more startled than when the fog in the forest intensified.
“It was a big deal. Wizard.”
“That much… doesn’t sound like a job, does it?”
Lee Han was taken aback because the adventurers seemed so surprised.
Of course, it was understandable that the wizards out there were surprised if they had given their souls to evil magic.
But the wizards over there weren’t like that. Besides, seeing it from a distance made me feel familiar.
It was clear that the magicians who had participated in the Ein Rogard Festival not too long ago.
‘It must have come after hearing rumors.’
He was staying in a nearby village and heard strange rumors, so it was only natural that the wizards were twisted like this.
“Is it because there are black magicians? Contrary to rumors, warlocks do not unconditionally raise the undead and destroy the surroundings.”
“yes? no. Not because of that, but because of the request.”
Commonly, people thought that most of the difficult things that adventurers experienced while breaking a request would be difficulties related to the contents of the request.
However, there were surprisingly many external difficulties that had nothing to do with the request.
It was the same situation now.
I have to approach the black rock in the middle of the forest and investigate the surroundings, but there are wizards who have settled down first.
Of course, there was no need or reason for the wizards to yield.
Moreover, the wizards never yielded to such anomalies related to magical power.
Gubon and his colleagues were already feeling like they had a headache about how to persuade the wizards.
“Can’t I just ask?”
“after. That won’t be easy. Wizards don’t yield easily in situations like this. I will not yield until you are satisfied with yourself.”
Baldororn, who was listening by the side, also opened his mouth in sympathy.
“That’s right. Magicians are the kind of people who never yield in a situation where they care so much.”
“also! Valdororn sees through everything.”
‘Stop it, you bastards.’
Valdororn cursed inwardly and looked away.
Considering that I hadn’t been able to do anything so far, I wanted to convince those wizards somehow well… but
I couldn’t come up with a way.
‘If I start talking to them, they’ll tell me to leave right away.’
The wizards of the Empire were not a kind enough to listen to the request of an insignificant wizard they had never seen before.
‘Reagent… What kind of reagent do you have? Hwang Jeong-seok powder is so cheap… Will he get angry if I give it as a bribe?’
Concerned, Valdororn raised his head at the movement he felt in front of him.
Lee Han was walking towards the wizards.
“!”
Valdororn was taken aback.
Even if you are a student of Einrogard, you don’t know if the wizards over there will tolerate it…
“I got permission. You may want to investigate.”
“……”
“……”
Baldororn and the adventurers looked at each other with blank eyes.
* * *
“I didn’t expect much because there was a lot of talk that it would be difficult to come out!”
A summoning wizard approached Lee Han, pushing the warlock with his shoulder.
“under. Of course you can come out! No matter how strict the rules of Einrogard were, how could they be so unreasonable? Students are people too.”
The black mage responded and tried to step on the summoning mage’s instep.
As the wizards approached each other and tried to push him awkwardly, the pressure returned to Lee Han, who was trapped in the middle.
“…everyone. Did I do something wrong?”
“Oh no. It’s because the warlocks over there pushed so rudely!”
“You better not listen to the summoning mages! Those cunning guys!”
Lee Han slowly pushed the wizards aside. The strength of Lee Han, who had been trained in swordsmanship with Ein Rogard, was not something that magicians could match.
“I am also glad to meet you. However, I think it would be very disappointing if I wasted my limited time out for nothing.”
‘It’s not going out.’
Anrago thought to himself.
Even though we ran away together, that confident attitude!
Right now, I’m dying of nervousness because I don’t know when Angrago will be found out…
“…You’re right.”
“You made us look so ugly.”
As the wizards reflected on each other and reconciled, Lee Han put on a happy expression.
“ruler. Then could you tell me about the investigation of the black rock over there?”
‘I’m lucky.’
While he came like this, he intended to eat it raw as a close friend, but unfortunately the situation was different from Lee Han’s expectations.
“Not yet…”
“Yes?”
“I was still investigating.”
“…Are all the people gathered here?”
The wizards suddenly cleared their throats and averted their gaze.
It was only now that they felt ashamed that they hadn’t even properly exchanged opinions because they were competing with each other.
“It can be. The investigation might be very difficult…”
Lee Han’s consolation was even more painful. Wizards hastily started sharing information.
-Now all the magical energy flowing through the forest is gathering here, but not all of them are at the same level. Didn’t I find the way by summoning the Spirit of Sound earlier? There is a relatively weak path and a strong path. The eastern road over there is so powerful that it’s impossible to pass through, but the southern road we passed through is much easier.
-…for a moment. Wardanaj here is from the east?
– There was help from Valdororn.
-oh. Is that so? How did you break through? I’m curious…
– Please. Could you please just proceed with the analysis? We’ll talk about it later…
– Yes? All right. Anyway, seeing this asymmetry made me think that the black rock might not be the cause of the situation.
-what? Could it be that the cause is outside and that the black rock was just coincidentally located where the flow is most concentrated?
-yes.
-Sounds crazy… but for now it sounds the most plausible! Let’s try to calculate it.
The wizards sukssakssukssukssuk ssukssuk ssuksakssuk ssuksakssuksaksaksakssuksaksaksaksaksaksaksaksaksaksaksaksaksaksaksaksaksaksaksaksak look surprised.
It was calculated that there might indeed be a cause outside the forest.
“Let’s go somewhere and check it out!”
“With Wardanaz coming, the blocked conundrum is resolved so easily. As expected, he is a talented person who will bring light to the school of black magic.”
“Why are you mentioning black magic here?”
“If you have any complaints, did you guys also mention summoning magic?”
When the wizards worked it out on their own and praised it, Lee Han said to Baldororn as if he was dumbfounded.
“To think that they solved everything by themselves and praised me… Thank you for your heart, but isn’t it too absurd? It’s embarrassing.”
“…Yes!!!!!!!”
Valdororn answered in a heartfelt voice.
There were few people who knew that heart as well as Val d’Or.
* * *
“Templar?”
The wizards who rushed out of the forest frowned at the campsite in the distance.
Even if it was the same campsite, you could guess its identity based on its appearance.
If it’s simple, traps and fences are installed around the traveler, mercenaries, if somewhere shabby and life flows, robbers…
And in that way, even though it’s a simple campsite, wooden walls are built and finished like a fortress, the discipline is thorough and the knights can afford it. There was only
Just as the adventurers had tears in their eyes because they didn’t want to approach the wizards earlier, the wizards also frowned because they didn’t want to approach the knights.
“They must be using their heads as helmet decorations.”
“I have to ask you to check inside the camp for a while, but I’m worried. You won’t even understand what we’re trying to say.”
“……”
The sharp words of the magicians made Anrago feel somewhat moved.
that’s too much!
‘I’m not that stupid!’
“Is there a reason the knights are around here?”
“uh?”
“Is there a reason why the knights are around here? I didn’t even hear that a monster appeared.”
“…uh? I know. Just… hunting?”
Lee Han looked at Angrago as if he was pitiful. Anrago felt like a guy who used his head as a helmet ornament.
“If you look at the forest earlier, you’ll know, but there was nothing to hunt.”
“That’s right. What is it?”
The answer came right away.
As they got closer, they saw the Templar’s banner hanging over the camp.
It was the Beech Knights.
“……”
Lee Han glared at the flag in amazement.
Did you really come all the way to Ein Rogard to invite Lee Han to the knights’ meeting?!
