Chapter 429 Lee
Han quickly understood the situation at the whispers of Priest Tigiling.
‘That’s right.’
Well, it is natural to be excited if you have little experience of walking at night like this.
If it was Gainando, he would have fed him a honey chestnut, but he had no choice but to be generous to the priests.
“Don’t worry everyone. I was in a hurry so I made this temporary boat. If you keep going out for night walks, there will be many things you have to do to cross the lake like this, so let’s make a proper boat next time.”
At those words, the faces of the two priests brightened.
Priest Tigilling, who was listening by the side, thought to himself.
‘What’s next?’
Everyone was so naturally making appointments for the next night walk.
* * *
Chow ah ah –
An ice boat cut through the quiet underground lake. After confirming that there were no monsters, Lee Han acted more boldly.
It floated a sphere of light on top of the ferry.
‘If there is a monster that hasn’t been discovered yet, I can come with this.’
In that case, Lee Han waited with the determination to blow up the magic bomb and destroy it in the water.
But the lake continued to be calm. I couldn’t even hear the monster moving.
“That’s strange.”
Lee Han felt embarrassed for nothing.
I never thought that I would expect monsters to pop out every time I put my foot out in a corner of the school… but
it’s rather embarrassing that they don’t come out like this.
Why?
“Weird.”
Priestess Cyana opened her mouth.
“Because it seems to me that a lake of this size should have fish or whatever?”
“!”
Lee Han’s eyes widened at Priest Siana’s words.
Certainly that statement was correct.
I was only focusing on monsters, but it was only natural to see fish or anything on the size of a lake like this.
No matter how underground the lake is…
“Priestess Cyana. So…”
“Right.”
Priestess Cyana nodded. The figure was so believable that Lee Han looked at it as if he were bewitched without realizing it.
What kind of reasoning will Priest Siana come up with?
“Isn’t it really amazing?”
“exactly. Is there such a lake? It’s really interesting. I knew there was a special place in Ein Lorgard, but.”
“……”
Lee Han regretted expecting too much.
The two priests were too excited to be of much help.
Tigilling Priestess felt sorry for nothing, so she guessed instead.
“A closed man-made facility may not have life.”
“For something like that, you can see quite a bit of grass and dirt, and there’s quite a bit of current. It must be connected somewhere.”
“What if there is a powerful entity at the bottom of the lake? What if it was eaten or ran away?”
“If there was such a belligerent presence, I think it would have come out when it attracted attention in this way.”
The two seriously hypothesized and weighed the possibilities.
In the meantime, Priest Syana and Priest Nigisore did what they could.
“and! There’s a piece!”
“Look at the water swallow here!”
“……”
“……”
Lee Han and Priest Tigilling stared at the two, but they didn’t notice.
“Wait, it’s an island!”
Lee Han, who was looking at the two, raised his head and shouted.
Thanks to my enhanced eyesight, I was able to spot one step ahead of my friends.
A small island the size of a reef, invisible because of the thick darkness, appeared on the horizon as the distance approached.
The two priests asked more excitedly.
“There might be a forgotten magic book!”
“Or maybe a history book! A very valuable product that cannot be obtained outside!”
Ein Rogard had many valuable collections as well as its long history.
Of course, being able to take out and view the collections as desired was a separate issue. It was difficult even for the professor to find the whereabouts of a book that had once disappeared.
As such, it was romantic and delightful to find precious books in such a remote place.
“What nonsense. Be quiet, everyone, because you can be denied.”
“……”
“……”
Except Lee Han.
Romance was a luxury for Lee Han, who was trying to secure the necessary supplies.
A book is what a book is!
‘A warehouse built by seniors. Warehouse built by professors. Warehouse built by the principal. One of the three would be nice. please.’
While the priests were sullen, Lee Han attached a ferry and landed.
It was a large-sized rock that occupied most of the area of the small island.
Lee Han guessed that if there was anything on this island, it would be hidden inside a rock.
‘The light of truth…’
As if Lee Han realized what he was trying to do, Priest Nigisor and Priest Cyana also picked up equipment.
Let’s find hidden paths with fire and acid solution!
Are you Gonadaltes?
“!!”
Suddenly, a booming voice came from within the rock.
Only then did Lee Han realize that what he thought was a huge rock was a monster.
It’s a small island, but a monster the size of the island!
Lee Han’s brain spun quickly. When I looked at the situation and the place, there was no answer to a head-to-head match.
“I am the wicked…”
It is not Lord Gonadaltes. you are a student
“……”
Huh? What were you going to do?
“He is the disciple who inherited the lineage of the evil empire magic from Gonadaltes.”
ah. So, is it magic? I was almost mistaken.
The huge rock continued to speak in a slow, soft voice.
I couldn’t see her pupils, but it was clear that she wasn’t able to identify her opponent with magic power alone.
“Are you a rock spirit?”
“I don’t think it’s a spirit.”
Lee Han replied involuntarily.
Then, the huge rock responded with a resounding voice as if it were admirable.
that’s right. I’m not a spirit amazing thing Students usually think of me as a spirit. How are you not?
“…with experience and knowledge?”
Lee Han tried to answer, ‘Most of the spirits hate me, so it’s a habit’, but he turned around and said.
I am invincible
“!”
impossible to live.
An irregular monster that grows by eating cast iron.
As there is no fixed appearance, it has a thousand different appearances depending on what metal it eats and what environment it grows in.
It was clear that the firefly that now occupies this small island had grown up fairly well-fed and without a fight, judging from its size and docile disposition.
“Impossible… why in Ein Lorgard?”
When was it… It was so long ago that I can’t remember. One of the students secretly brought me when I was just born and raised him. They seem to think it’s good to grow here.
The bulwark said calmly.
Of course, it was a shocking story to Lee Han, who was listening.
‘These irresponsible bastards!’
No matter how much Einrogard it is, to bring in harmful creatures from outside without permission.
So, isn’t the school going to be like this?
Priest Shiana, who was listening, asked cautiously.
“Then, I don’t think Bulgesal-nim is particularly angry or has any intention of harassing the students, right?”
huh. why would i do that The student who brought me is also working as a professor.
“……”
Lee Han’s face hardened.
Even the culprit was a professor.
“Were you a beaver beast?”
uh huh? It’s not.
“Are you a vampire?”
No… wait. stop asking
Invulnerability drew the line slowly but resolutely.
He kept his mouth shut for fear of harming the student or professor who brought him.
If you’re trying to disrespect the professor for bringing me along, you’re wrong. Everyone can make mistakes when they are young.
“Indeed, it is.”
Priest Nigisore deeply sympathized.
The priest himself also played with fire in the temple to make stronger flames.
It was a fresh prank I did when I was young.
“I don’t think I’ll secretly bring in a monster that can grow as big as the school no matter what I do… yup.”
“Shh. Siana Priestess. Let’s not provoke our temper for nothing.”
Lee Han quickly covered Priest Shiana’s mouth.
It was a pity that it wasn’t the warehouse of the senior professor’s principal, but this was another opportunity.
It is not very common to meet a person who is kind to students and knowledgeable about the school.
Most beings used to strike first when they saw students. Just looking at the last golem right now…
‘I need to dig up as much information as possible.’
“That’s right. No matter what the truth is, it will not change the respect we have for our professors in the slightest.”
Lee Han did not lie.
Respect did not change even if a newborn baby was brought in.
Because it was 0 in the first place!
okay? thank god.
Bulsalli replied leisurely, as if he was satisfied.
Lee Han looked at the other person and asked.
“Then are you staying here?”
huh.
When asked a question, Bulsali slowly revealed the information.
Now, the lake where the firebugs are staying, swimming and feeding seems to be called the < Spiderweb Lake >.
It had nothing to do with spiders, but was given its name because of the topography of the lake.
Located in the basement of the main building, which is so deep that it is difficult to even count how many floors, this lake has been very firmly combined and connected with several districts of Ein Lorgard over time.
Even if Einrogard periodically twists his body and mixes the space inside, the spaces connected to this spider web lake cannot be solved.
Professors who knew that fact used this lake of spider webs as a kind of shortcut.
“!!”
Lee Han held back his heart pounding and asked cautiously.
“Then… is there any connection around here?”
I don’t know where else, but I have one under me. I heard that it is a place where professors write.
“!!!”
Lee Han’s eyes shook when he heard that it was used by professors.
Priest Nigisor and Priest Cyana nodded slightly and exchanged glances with Lee Han, probably excited.
‘Is it a warehouse?’
‘Maybe it’s the professors’ library?’
Priest Tigilling, who had been listening quietly, raised his hand cautiously and asked.
“Can I ask you something? You seem to have a good relationship with the professor or principal. Can I tell you something like this?”
huh? of course. If you’ve come this far, you’ll be in your senior year, but even if I don’t tell you, you’ll find out soon.
“……”
“I’m in the first year…”
Huh??
The invulnerability was startled. I could feel the rocks shaking and flinching.
How did you cross the lake in first grade?
“I made a boat by freezing water.”
and. That’s great. Has the level of freshmen improved these days?
‘no.’
‘It’s not.’
‘no.’
According to Bulgari, magic was needed to cross this lake of spider webs.
If you try to cross by non-magical means, the water of the lake will push you to the shore at once.
‘Because they’re like despicable professors.’
Lee Han clicked his tongue.
Even if you tried to use this lake as a shortcut right away, you couldn’t use this wide and complicated lake as a shortcut unless you knew the location of the exit and entrance.
It’s not enough, so I’m going to put such a restriction.
“As expected, is Gonadaltes-sama from there?”
huh? no. It’s a natural phenomenon. The mana pooled and pooled, and then it became like that.
“…that.”
Lee Han slightly reflected.
“Then is it because of that magical power that there is no life in the lake?”
It’s because it’s time for the water spirits to play around. They ran away in advance because there was going to be a flood soon.
“……”
“…????!”
The group was astonished at the sight of Bulsali casually talking about something too big.
* * *
“Um… If a big flood happens, shouldn’t we hurry up and talk about it…?”
Despite hearing the shocking truth, Lee Han took the passage under the fire and moved to the professors’ private space.
Priest Tigilling was taken aback by his firm appearance.
Shouldn’t we go back and prepare now?
“Priest Tigiling. The more you do, the more you need to take care of it. If it’s the professors’ warehouse, there will be things that can be useful in case of a flood.”
“Surely right!”
“I agree.”
The other two priests clung to the ladder excitedly and nodded.
“Things won’t change much if you return a little later. Up there…”
Lee Han, who was climbing the top of the aisle ladder, stopped moving.
Then he hardened his face.
“Why are you like that?”
“…Looks like the professors’ lounge…?”
