Chapter 457
Of course, I couldn’t challenge the submerged dungeon. Professor Voladi did not allow his beloved student to risk taking on an incomplete dungeon.
-Of course, as a professor, he will teach better than me. But since it’s related to giants, it’s hard to concede.
Ikrusha thought that if Yihan were to be tested by the giants, he should get used to it in advance.
An unexpected accident could have occurred if they bumped into each other in an unprepared situation.
How dangerous would it be if a young wizard like Lee Han had even hatred for a giant because of such a mistake?
In the future, if an archmage with a title like < Giant Slayer > appears
…
Lee Han felt that he would feel hatred just for what Ikurusha had just said to the professors.
“I will respect you.”
Professor Voladi was very generous with concessions. I didn’t even have a conscience.
-Then let’s go meet the other giants. Are you ready?
Ikrusha narrowed her eyes to ease Lee Han’s tension.
Of course, being a giant, it didn’t have much effect.
bang!!!!!!!!
-hmm. You’d better wait a little longer before leaving.
It seemed that one more goat had escaped outside.
* * *
After all the goats were killed, Lee Han was able to go outside.
Behind Ikurusha, who was walking away, Professor Voladi gave advice to Lee Han.
“Do not lower your staff in front of a giant.”
“……”
‘I really want to hit one.’
Now that’s advice…
“Do you have any other advice?”
“Giants are generally unpredictable.”
There are few giants as wise and intelligent as Ikrusha, and most giants had a hard time figuring out what they were thinking.
It was not for nothing that explorers traveling to the remote regions of the Empire were afraid of the giant talking to them.
If you get caught in the wrong, you will be forced to participate in an outrageous bet…
“?”
Lee Han tilted his head.
Professor Voladi’s words ended there.
“Are there any more?”
“Didn’t I just say that?”
“…aha.”
So, ‘giants are generally unpredictable’ was the advice.
Lee Han closed his eyes.
‘I’d rather be a giant.’
The giants who don’t know what they’re thinking are probably better than the professor next to them.
Bubbling-
Upon arriving at the hillside ranch located on the ridge where the giants are resting, a huge pot first caught my eye.
The giants were cutting up chunks of rock with weary faces and throwing them into the pot.
“?”
Looking back, it wasn’t a rock, it was cheese. Lee Han had never seen such a large piece of cheese.
-It’s goat’s cheese. Are you interested?
“yes? yes.”
Lee Han nodded once.
Living in Einrogard, I couldn’t help but be interested in ingredients.
Ikrusha approached the giant and gestured for the cheese.
-I’ll give it to you.
-why…?
– I have to treat guests.
-why…??
– Just give it to me!
Pak!
Ikrusha got angry and snatched the cheese from the giant’s hand. And I cut a little bit and gave it to Lee Han.
The giant behind him glared at Lee Han with eyes mixed with sadness, anger, and resentment.
“…Oh no. You don’t have to take it from me…”
-Never mind. They’re the ones who get upset easily. it will be released soon
Ikrusha said that, but the giant’s eyes staring at Lee Han contained too deep emotions.
Lee Han received the cheese with a feeling of discomfort.
Kang!
“?”
The stone-like cheese was hard as a stone.
…then isn’t it just a stone?
“Isn’t it a stone?”
– Huh? for a moment.
Ikrusha checked the cheese.
Not a stone, not an old, hardened cheese, but a freshly made cheese.
-Cheese is right.
‘I can’t use it as a food ingredient.’
Lee Han gave up and returned the cheese to the giant. The giant snorted and took the cheese to the point that Lee Han flew away.
“Miss Ikrusha. I have to make friends with those giants, but wouldn’t it be a bit dangerous if I did this from the start?”
– It’s okay. are you okay.
‘I don’t think it’s okay.’
Lee Han quickly grasped the situation.
Ikrusha was a wise giant, but as a giant, he wasn’t too worried about getting close to other giants.
Even if the giants are a little angry and sulking, they believe that they will soon become friends.
However, in Lee Han’s view, that was too optimistic.
‘I have to get as close as possible.’
“hello.”
-……
-……
The giants who were sitting around the pot hid the large brass bowl in their arms with blatantly disgusted expressions when Lee Han came.
It was a face that did not want to give Lee Han something to eat.
‘It’s not some kind of Cainan…’
“I’m not here to get food. everyone. I want to say hello…”
-Give me some!
Ikrusha ran back and yelled.
Lee Han covered his face with his palms and was frustrated.
-This… The human race can’t eat it.
– I can’t even eat well.
The giants protested, but Ikrusha resolutely scolded the young giants for their gluttony.
Then, he scooped up plenty of the porridge in the pot with a ladle and served it to Lee Han.
“Thank you.”
– I can’t eat. anyway.
– It’s a waste of food.
The giants grumbled and complained. Lee Han became even more uncomfortable in his seat.
‘You must eat deliciously.’
As long as the atmosphere went like this, I had no choice but to eat deliciously.
Lee Han looked down at the bowl.
“……”
‘Isn’t that lava?’
Seeing the red liquid bubbling up, I couldn’t tell if it was porridge or lava.
“…thank you for this food.”
Lee Han cursed the professors of Ein Lorgard and moved the porridge to his mouth.
‘Ouch.’
It was the taste of screaming after a long time.
Spicy, salty, bitter, sour tastes are all condensed and hot.
Lee Han focused his whole mind on keeping a smile on his face. And I emptied the porridge bowl.
“Really delicious.”
-surprising. humans eat that
-Unbelievable.
The giants murmured in amazement.
Other races did not eat the food of the giants well.
Even an explorer who has gone through all kinds of battles hates the food of giants, saying, ‘I’d rather cut off my arm and eat this than eat this’… The
giants’ eyes changed slightly favorably. Lee Han let out a sigh of relief.
‘Somehow I took a step.’
It seemed that he had finally regained the lost favor.
Actually, if Ikurusha hadn’t taken the cheese, this wouldn’t have happened…
Dalgrak-
“Ask for some?”
As the basilisk egg rattled, Lee Han scooped up a spoonful of the remaining porridge and poured it over the egg.
Then the basilisk egg convulsed madly.
Moon, moon, moon, moon, moon!!!
“…he said he wanted to eat…”
I never thought he would hate it so intensely after he said he wanted to eat it.
After finishing the meal, one of the giants pulled out a thickly grown tree, wiped his mouth, and called Lee Han.
-you. comes along guide you
“ah. yes. thank you.”
The giant moved slowly. Lee Han looked around and tried to confirm the location and terrain.
Later, even after the flood was over and the water receded, I had to avoid this area as much as possible.
‘I should write < giantism > on the map.’
Professor Voladi, who was sitting with Ikrusha in the distance, pointed at something.
It was a cane.
“……”
Lee Han raised his cane again, cursing at the professor.
If this is the case in the first place, just a giant…
-Here is the ranch. we grow sheep.
“Isn’t there a fence?”
– Break it.
The giant shook his head and replied. Lee Han immediately understood what he was talking about.
‘Well, if I heard that earlier, the fence would easily be broken down.’
No matter what kind of fence you build, if you’re the size of a giant, you’ll be able to break it easily.
“Where is the sheep now?”
-……
The giant stared at Lee Han with trembling eyes.
Any other wizard would have been taken aback by the giant’s unpredictable behavior, but Lee Han was not.
I’ve seen a lot of similar eyes somewhere.
If you ask Gainando, ‘Where did you put the cake I gave you last time?’…
“I hate eating sheep. I have no intention of ever eating it.”
The giant looked at Lee Han with a pleased look. A delightful smile hung on his lips.
– There it is. inside the cave. lock up
A huge boulder was placed at the entrance of the cave.
The rock was too big to confine a goat, but to Lee Han, who heard the sound earlier, it felt like a piece of paper.
“Can’t I come out if I do that?”
– Come out. sometimes. so you have to catch it
The giant grumbled.
He seemed sad that the goats didn’t listen to him.
‘The things I can do…’
Lee Han chased after the giant, checking the surroundings and checking the daily routine of the giants.
1. Caring for goats.
2. Catch the goat if it escapes.
3. Preparing meals, etc.
Helping with these things was very important to me as I could get to know the giants…
‘No. Can I help you?’
No matter how much I thought about it, it wasn’t something Lee Han could help.
More than that, Lee Han was more concerned about having to deal with these giants during the final exam.
I didn’t know if I would have to fight a goat, or a giant, or a giant on a goat.
– I got it last time too. But I got it this time too.
“Oops.”
Lee Han spoke without thinking to appease the grumbling giant.
“I’ll talk to Ikrusha-sama and ask for some snacks.”
I didn’t know if the giant had snacks and if Ikrusha would allow it, but Lee Han said and looked at it.
It was because of the habit of soothing the whining Guinando.
– Is it really ?!
However, the giant’s reaction was more violent than expected.
-really?!
“…Uh no. Please wait for that moment.”
* * *
– Yeah? take it
Ikrusha accepted Lee Han’s request as if it wasn’t too difficult.
I struggle to get close to the giants, but this much was enough to help me.
Tak- When
Ikrusha held out a dark club, Lee Han was taken aback.
“What is this?”
– Dried beef jerky. Everyone likes it because it’s made with lots of special spices.
“…thank you.”
Lee Han also heard how to make it from Ikrusha.
I didn’t know if I should learn how to make it because giants like it.
‘But all the giants aren’t even Gainan, so I don’t know how far they can go with snacks.’
1 hour later.
– Human leg hurts. i listen
-Get out of the way! I will listen!
The giants grabbed each other by the collar and argued that they would carry Lee Han on his back.
Seeing that, Lee Han thought to himself.
Making friends with giants might not be as difficult as you think!
* * *
“Sage, water parsley, cloves, turmeric, geranium… five tablespoons… put in and simmer… ground the meat… umm… What kind of taste is this…”
As Lee Han sat down at the table and muttered over ingredients and reagents, while deep in thought, the other alchemy students glanced at him.
As much as the potion manufacturing method the top alchemy student was studying, he couldn’t help but be interested.
“what? What combination is that?”
“Priest Siana. Do you know?”
“…It’s too dangerous a potion to tell you how to use it… Hmmm. Uhm.”
When a question came to her, Priestess Cyana slightly turned her back.
Then the other students were even more surprised.
“Is it a highly toxic potion?”
“The black magic side?”
“Why are you preparing that, Wodanaz? Is it related to this test? Do you know the princess?”
“……”
Adenart blinked in embarrassment.
Then my friends figured it out for me.
“It must be a dangerous potion after all.”
“You must be doing that out of fear that other students will try it on their own and be dangerous.”
“But why is Wardanaz researching that?”
Just then, Lee Han closed the book and stood up.
Friends asked cautiously.
“Wardanaz. Where are you going to use it?”
“Hmm? I’m going to feed the giants.”
“…!!”
“!!!!”
