Chapter 554
“Isn’t it? Can I go?”
“I don’t think it’s a question you’ll have to worry about so much…”
I just asked without much thought, but I didn’t expect that I would worry so deeply.
Yoner was confused and tried to get his frustrated friend up.
“Lee Han. wake up. I know it’s painful, but I can’t continue like this.”
“…All spirits are ungrateful.”
The basilisk hissed in agreement.
“huh. I don’t know if it is. wake up anyway There is also a squirrel spirit here.”
The ice and frost squirrel spirit pulled Lee Han’s cheek confidently.
Seeing this, Lee Han slightly cheered up.
Still, there was one spirit left.
Tuk-tuk-
“Let’s make a contract?”
Nodded-
“There must be many other good wizards.”
“no. Lee Han.”
“that’s right. Mr. Wodanaz. Don’t talk like that.”
In case the squirrel escaped, the two friends hurriedly intervened.
If the other spirit wants to make a contract, whether it’s sympathy or confusion, you can sign it. Why are you talking nonsense?
Fortunately, the squirrel spirit didn’t mind. He rubbed his tail in front of Lee Han and expressed his liking.
“look. Han Lee. Do the spirits never forget the grace you saved them for?”
“…maybe.”
After finishing the work behind the scenes, Elendil walked towards the juniors.
And he was happy to see that the squirrel spirit and Lee Han were close.
I can’t believe the spirits are so sympathetic. It was impossible with ordinary sincerity and affection.
“here.”
Elendil pulled out a handful of ice pine nuts, the squirrel spirit’s favorite, from his pocket and held them out.
The squirrel spirit then rushed to Elendil in an instant and began to gnaw on pine nuts, rubbing its head in the palm of its hand.
Lee Han, who had just taken out his cane to sign a contract, stared at the senior.
“Eat well. right?”
“Why are you still here, senior? Don’t you have a lot to do?”
“Uh… are you angry…? why?”
* * *
When I got out of the forest, it was already dark. Only the moon and stars twinkle, illuminating the path ahead of the students…
“???”
While petting the squirrel spirit that had completed the contract, Lee Han was puzzled when he noticed the flickering torches in the distance.
In principle, students were not allowed to walk around at night like this.
Unless you are on duty or the professor tells you to do something, you have to stay in the dormitory.
Of course, some students went around at night regardless, but they didn’t walk around with torches like that.
It was like sending a signal to the Death Knights patrolling inside Einrogard to catch them.
‘What’s going on?’
“Wardanas!! you this child I thought you were dead!”
“???”
As if he had been beaten up and down, Anrago hugged Yihan tightly.
Lee Han grabbed Angrago’s face with one hand and asked while pushing him away.
“What happened? Are you the principal?”
“Contaminants sent by the principal have come out of the forest and are attacking the dormitory!”
“ah.”
“uh.”
“Mmm.”
Yihan and Priest Yoner Siana hesitated.
It was because he knew that this incident had nothing to do with Headmaster Skeleton.
“I should be able to sleep. Everyone’s out now, chasing them down.”
“Right.”
Lee Han finally understood why all his friends were out there.
There were not many students who could sleep calmly even while pollutants were constantly trying to enter the dormitory.
Besides, if it was the headmaster of the skeleton, he shouldn’t have slept even more. We had to find the cause and fix it as soon as possible.
“Wardanaz. I’m glad you came. Quickly command the remaining children and find the epicenter!”
“But Wodanaj-sama isn’t the White Tiger Tower…?”
Priestess Cyana tilted her head, but Anrago ignored it.
What does it matter now!
Lee Han yawned loudly and said.
“Are you wandering around the forest looking for Moradina Salko?”
“uh!”
“Right. Tell them to find it properly and come back. Because the culprit has already been caught. We should go and get some sleep.”
At Lee Han’s words, Yoner and Priest Cyana nodded their heads at the same time.
My whole body was tired from walking around all day. I felt like I would collapse if I closed my eyes even now.
“uh? Wodanaz! Wodanaz! come back! Do you intend to forsake your duty as a knight!”
‘Crazy…’
Tired, I didn’t even think to refute.
Lee Han and his friends waved his hand once and slowly walked to the dormitory.
* * *
Friday.
Lee Han, who had been able to afford it for a long time, entered the secret base and was immersed in concentration.
The break room and the library weren’t bad places to study, but it was hard to concentrate because of other friends.
– Mr. Wardanaz. Do you know about the miraculous event that happened in the southern part of the Empire this time? And do you know which church is the church that caused the miraculous thing? To give you a hint, it is neither the Church of Aphha nor the Church of Agltakwa.
– Wardanaz. Why do you think people should learn magic? It’s not that I don’t want to study, but I suddenly had doubts…
Lee Han tended to shout to himself that he could do it even in a poor environment, but he couldn’t ignore the efficiency of the quiet space.
Fill in the contents of these two books, < About Wardanaz's water octane and its basic principles > and < On the limitations of water octane magic and its development direction >, write a request for designing a pocket knife fortress proposed by Professor Alpen, and write the magic learned this week. Organize the fields…
‘Emm.’
Lee Han pondered whether he should clean up the lightning spear he used to fight the pollutants yesterday.
I definitely achieved the goal of fixing the shape of the lightning element, but the problem is…
‘I don’t remember how I did it.’
But I couldn’t go to Professor Voladi and say, ‘Professor, I tried to cast Lightning Spear, but I can’t remember’.
In that case, Professor Voladi would try to kill Lee Han, saying, ‘If your life is in danger, your abilities will grow. I will help you.’
It was the safest way for Lee Han to think of it first and complete it again before Professor Voladi killed him.
In fact, I even thought about hiding it from Professor Voladi…
‘Professor Voladi is surprisingly fast at acquiring information.’
He didn’t seem like a person with good friendships with other professors like Professor Garcia, but strangely, whenever Lee Han learned magic from another school, there were many cases where he knew about it.
Like sharing information in a professor’s lounge.
Junior. Junior.
“!”
When the writing was engraved on the note to contact Diret, Lee Han approached the note with a quill.
– What are you doing?
I’ve heard some strange rumors, can I ask one?
-yes. What are you curious about?
They say you’re so loved by the spirits of the forest, is that true? The spirits of the forest love you so much that they all returned to their dimension at your request.
-????????
Lee Han almost dropped the quill at the moment.
-What are you talking about?
I heard your name by chance, and you said you were friendly with spirits. It’s a bit strange.
Basically, it was not easy for warlocks to get close to spirits.
As you mingle with the undead, their unique smell permeates your soul.
Warlocks are hard to get along with spirits, right?
-ah. Yes. When I think about it, you are right. Maybe that’s why the spirits are avoiding me?
no. Come to think of it, it’s more likely that your junior is because of your horse power. Because spirits are sensitive.
“……”
Lee Han frowned at the senior’s words.
– Could it be because of black magic…
The possibility is small, right?
Lee Han changed the subject because asking more would only make him sad.
-It’s probably because of senior Elendil. There was a pollutant in the forest this time, and I helped with that.
Lee Han briefly explained what happened this time.
After hearing the explanation, Diret seriously contemplated on where to ask again.
You tried to artificially create a dark spirit? It won’t be easy. Among the spirits, the dark spirits are really unstable and tricky.
– It really is. I don’t know why I didn’t ask for help from the outstanding seniors of the dark magic school.
Dereth was silent for a moment.
Lee Han was pleased with his intuition that his flattery worked successfully.
It’s not quite like that.
-I think so.
Yeah… it’s natural not to ask for help when it comes to Elendil. I don’t get along very well.
“?”
Lee Han hesitated because he did not understand.
Yllendil did not seem particularly evil or violent.
– What happened?
Isn’t Elendil a hybrid dryad? I love and cherish the forest. The boys of our school were attacked by Elendil when they went into the forest to collect reagents…
-Ah.
Lee Han seemed to know what had happened.
Illendil was a laid-back and kind-hearted person, but it was also true that curses came out of his mouth the moment the forest was hurt.
– It’s a pity. Still, I’m proud to hear that you heard about yesterday.
Aside from the resentment of Illendil and his black magic seniors, Lee Han was grateful inside.
It was clear that Elendil had spoken favorably to the other seniors as he aimed.
Otherwise, Diret wouldn’t have heard the rumors.
proud?
-yes. isn’t that good? I’m not sure if you know the good reviews among the seniors,
but Elendil has a bit of a… eccentric image.
-Is that so? To what extent?
A bit more than the black magic school?
-……
Lee Han’s face turned pale.
That’s why Illendil’s compliments aren’t necessarily good for you juniors… The friend who told me about it is a bit…
Diret was worried and teased the quill.
In fact, the friend who relayed the rumor to Diret also thought Lee Han was very strange.
-Dirette. If it’s Lee Han from the Wodanaz family, isn’t that the junior you mentioned? that peculiar?
– That’s right. why?
-You know Illendil, right? He praised that Wodanaz for meeting a junior of the same type as himself… Isn’t it a strange junior?
“……”
After hearing the explanation, Lee Han put his head on the table in frustration.
‘shit. I thought he was a decent person because he was respected within the alchemy school.’
– Senior Diret. Senior please help me. I’m not a weirdo…
I’m sorry for that.
Diete sincerely apologized.
I’ll try my best to say it, but I’m also a dark magic school, so it won’t be that effective…
“……”
Lee Han couldn’t say anything about the reason for his sadness.
-no. senior. Thank you for just thinking about it.
huh. Be careful anyway. Especially when entering the forest. Illendil’s not a bad guy, but he can get a bit violent when he gets involved in his business.
‘From now on, when I go into the forest, I’ll have to cast invisible magic first.’
Lee Han firmly resolved not to get involved with Elendil.
Come to think of it, I was instinctively reluctant from the moment I showed a good appearance to the spirits, but it was clear that I had an intuition for this problem.
After the conversation was over and I was feeling empty for a while, the mirror vibrated this time.
Lee Han approached the mirror.
I want to buy more information about the 1st year of the Wardanaz family I mentioned earlier.
“……”
The mirror in front of Lee Han, who was worried about pretending not to see it, continued to vibrate.
The information you gave me the other day was useful. Thank you.
But there is a new rumor I heard this time.
It is said that he is a nerd who is best friends with Elendil of the School of Alchemy, is that true?
-Absolutely not.
Lee Han wrote the answer without realizing it.
