Chapter 488 Lee
Han held out the cotton candy he was holding.
The white tiger tower student screamed and threw his body to the side. It was really lamentable that it was not easy to avoid because it was an alley.
‘Damn it! Wordanaz bastard. How clever!’
It wasn’t for nothing that he was one of the best combat masters in the first year.
A perfect tactic to target their most vulnerable moments!
…But the magic didn’t fly. Lee Han and his friends looked down at the White Tiger Tower students like crazy.
“What are you doing?”
“……”
Batrek, who had rolled on the mud in the alleyway, quietly kept his mouth shut and got up from his seat.
Then he brushed the dirt off his coat and spoke in the most dignified way possible.
“…I was playing a game of Gyeokgu.”
“here?”
“Originally, we do it in the alley.”
The White Tiger Tower students in the back hesitantly nodded.
Lee Han agreed with a puzzled expression.
“That’s right. i get it. You loved playing gyeokgu in the alleys… Take this.”
“???”
Bartrek, who accepted the cotton candy Lee Han offered, was puzzled.
“What is this?”
“The snack I bought for you guys?”
“Where does the money come from…? omg. Did you steal it?”
“Why did the question of stealing come out first? I got it from Professor Thunder Walk.”
“!?”
The students were more surprised than the story of the theft.
how?
“Huh. Threatened…!”
“no. You crazy people.”
Lee Han briefly explained what had happened.
After hearing that explanation, the students…
did not understand and were astonished inwardly.
‘How did you convince me…’
‘How did you convince me?’
Due to Lee Han’s simple explanation in one line, the students had no choice but to let their imagination run wild.
“uh? for a moment. Then why did we sneak out?”
“I know.”
“……”
“……”
The students fell into a sense of shame.
In particular, some who were getting mud on their clothes fell into a sense of shame that was as thick as the mud.
“what. you can play now I have left the silver for you.”
Tuk-tuk-
Adenart, who was quietly listening to the conversation next to him, pointed to the cotton candy Batrek had received.
The cotton candy was melting because I was absent-minded.
Lee Han was slightly surprised and asked a small question.
“…to give me Batrek cotton candy again?”
“Here you are.”
Batrek was still in a daze, so he handed out the cotton candy to the princess again.
Adenart felt anger welling up.
“no!”
“But who is that person?”
“ah. He was a really great foreknowledge wizard.”
Bartrek looked at the princess while explaining.
The princess was glaring at the two fiercely.
‘I heard that there is a power struggle with Wardanaj in the tower, is that true?’
“…That’s how I guessed my family name as well.”
“Isn’t it filmed?”
Lee Han was puzzled.
As far as Lee Han knew, that kind of prediction magic was quite difficult and costly.
Of course, there were primitive ancient magics outside the system that Lee Han did not know about in the empire, but there was a principle that penetrated those magics anyway.
In short, it was too inconsistent to use a foresight magic that would hit someone else’s family name in a sitting position here in the back alley.
“Because it’s really great.”
“Whoop… whoop. If you don’t believe it, why don’t you take a look? I will not accept any payment.”
Ianop thought it was all right.
It was annoying that that talentless dwarf bastard kept hanging around, but it was an opportunity to change the topic.
Besides, if what Ianob just heard is correct, that boy…
‘The Wardanaz family!’
If it was the Wodanaz family, there was a high possibility that the talent Antagondals wanted would come out.
Ianob called out, controlling his excited heart.
“Wardanaz. you do too If you’re wrong, I’ll give you a silver coin.”
“what? Is it really?”
Lee Han was surprised.
Are you sick with the disease of wasting silver coins in vain?
“Here, try to guess this friend’s family name!”
“Are you from the Wardanaz family?”
“oh my god…!”
Bartrek was startled once more.
“…You kept calling me Wardanaj…”
“Are you an idiot?”
Priests Yoner and Cyana asked with serious faces. Bartrek came to his senses belatedly.
“ah. It did. sorry. Excited.”
“Mmm.”
However, Lee Han was not paying attention because he was thinking about other things.
‘I insisted that it was the Moradi family and tried to take it.’
He insisted that Wodanaz was his name and was actually the Moradi family and thought about taking the silver coin, but his friends reacted too quickly and the opportunity was blown away.
As soon as the opportunity to earn silver coins for free disappeared, Lee Han’s interest quickly faded.
“I am done. Let’s all go to the store or look around. Bar Trek. I want to buy you a pair of clothes.”
“I have the clothes I brought from school.”
“It’s not clothes, it’s stitched rags. Change because I will live.”
The white tiger top friends were slightly moved by Lee Han’s words.
‘thanks. Wardanaz.’
‘Thank you for removing Bartrek’s piece of rag…!’
Of course, Ianop was taken aback.
“for a moment…! Aren’t you curious about the future?”
“I already know my future.”
Lee Han was cold.
Instead of graduating from Ein Rogard with a little more difficulty than others, after graduating, he would increase his assets dozens of times with his personal connections and excellent business sense, and then blow his reputation as an emerging entrepreneur in the empire and spend his whole life playing around.
Then, when he gets bored, he goes to the skeleton headmaster and throws a gold coin into his mug.
It was a very clear future.
“Rather than that, I think you should take good care of that table. If the corner falls, the magic circle inside will shake.”
“uh? Was it the magic table?”
“huh.”
“I didn’t know at all…!? really?!”
“It’s a useless artifact that has no effect. A bored person must have made it.”
Lee Han took his friends and left the alleyway.
Ianob was so shocked that he couldn’t even answer and just watched his back in a daze.
‘just now…?’
Did you notice the hidden secret from a distance without even touching the table?
I couldn’t believe that fact alone, but what was even more shocking was the reaction that followed.
What the hell is that cynical reaction?
When Ianob heard the secret of this table from Antagondals and felt exactly the structure of the magic circle, he could not close his eyes and stared at the so beautiful and perfect magical manifestation.
For over half a year after that, I skipped meals and sleep while hugging this table and exploring inside it.
But that boy could understand the structure with just one glance from a distance, so why did he react like that?!
‘why? Aren’t you curious about this? Why aren’t you curious about this?!’
It seemed as if he had found the talent Antagondals said, but at the same time, Ianob instinctively got goosebumps because he couldn’t understand what the talent was showing.
It was the goosebumps he felt when he saw wizards who couldn’t dare follow his level in the distant past.
“Wizard. Mister Wizard. I have found what you asked for.”
The mercenaries entrusted with the work ran to Ianop.
“I heard that there is a famous student among the students. He comes from a prestigious family in the empire, but his skills are already very good…”
“Are you from the Wardanaz family?”
“you’re right! Indeed, the wizard sees through everything!”
Although they were mercenaries who exuded a bloody and vicious atmosphere, they maintained a polite attitude in front of wizards, fearing that they would dare to be caught.
They shuddered at the mystery of Ianob sitting in his seat and seeing through things a thousand miles away.
“Deliver this book… this book to the boy somehow.”
“……”
The mercenaries were silent.
They were mercenaries who stayed around the port and did all kinds of rough things, but they also had something to fear.
He didn’t want to get involved with wizards.
Even more so if it was a wizard from Einrogard.
Ianob thought of intimidating one of them by making him wither, but soon changed his mind.
Now was not the time to wield the whip.
‘I’ll be able to run away if I’m scared for nothing.’
“Look. There is no magic attached to this book. It is a pure magic book.”
“We’re blind, so we don’t know what to
look at…” “What if we pass it over and get caught by the wizards?”
“Ask a nearby merchant or hand it over to a servant. Could it be that the mages of the empire would even torture them?”
Ianob’s voice slowly became a low threat.
Sensing the threat, the mercenaries nodded hastily and stabbed the sorcerer into their rough leather coats.
“I understand.”
“I’ll try to deliver it somehow.”
“I’ll give gold coins to those who do it.”
“…!”
“I will do my best!”
Only then did the mercenaries’ eyes flash greedily.
It was dissatisfying, but Ianop decided that he needed the help of the mercenaries.
‘They still have a corner to use.’
The sorcery book handed over to the mercenaries was a sorcery book written by Antagondals.
It was thin and didn’t have much content. It was a book about only one magic.
However, that one magic was developed by Antagondals himself. This magic book also had a tremendous impact on Ianop.
The wisdom contained in such a light and thin book is like this, but what about the wisdom of Antagondals himself?
If he could get even a drop of that wisdom, Ianob could do anything.
‘If he reads it… he will have no choice but to be tempted!’
It was a heinous and bloody magic that was different from Einroguard’s magic.
An arrogant genius would surely be interested.

While the students were enjoying chocolate cake and coffee on the second-floor terrace of the brick cafe, Lee Han asked Nilia a question to satisfy his curiosity.
“Nilia. The Shadow Ranger hunters…”
“Huh?! why?! What?! Did you make a mistake?! Did you make a mistake too?!”
“…no… just curious. Are there any rules for chasing prey? You should never miss it.”
“There’s no such thing, but I’m the type to never miss my prey.”
Nilia took a bite of the cake and frowned.
This cake was too sweet for Nilia, who was accustomed to rough and bitter food in the mountains.
“If it doesn’t fit, can I not eat it?”
“Oh no? Am I really good at eating sweets? Are you a dignified Imperial citizen?”
“……”
While Bartrek was distracted by other snacks, Lee Han sneaked the tiramisu Bartrek had ordered and set it down in front of Nilia.
Nilia, who hadn’t noticed yet, continued.
“If you miss it, you’ll notice it a little bit. Pride as a hunter…”
“I see.”
It was often said that ferocious monsters never let go of their prey because they were so proud of themselves, but the Shadow Rangers snorted when they heard that.
After all, they were the most proud and tenacious in the mountains!
As long as they declared to the mountain range that they would catch it once, the hunters never let go of their opponent.
Some hunters did not return to the post even after 20 years and stayed in the mountains looking for game.
‘Is that why your eyes go back when you keep looking at monsters?’
Lee Han thought he would do better the next time he met the Shadow Ranger hunters.
Wouldn’t it be annoying for the rest of my life if I was marked as my enemy?
“Wizard!”
“Cheuk.”
Lee Han almost spit out the coffee he was drinking.
It wasn’t the cafe stairs in the back, but the Shadow Ranger Hunter jumped up from the terrace below.
Nylia was so embarrassed that she hurried under the table and covered herself with a cloak.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m trying to catch the Sea Serpent, but I need help. Can you help me?”
“…Did Professor Thunderwalk tell you?”
