Chapter 574
– It’s not easy to get along with a tricky race like the Siren.
Giants weren’t a race that was good for getting close with others, but that was because of the giant’s physical characteristics.
If only such physical characteristics could be endured, there were no other people as naive as giants.
However, the Siren was very picky in temper.
It could be seen just by looking at the fact that among the many races that live in the vast nature of Ein Lorgard, there are very few races that are friendly with the Siren.
-Well, even with a giant, he became friendly.
The boy in front of him was a boy with a rare affinity for being close to a giant.
Sometimes there were wizards like this.
Instead of subduing nature with cold wisdom and powerful magic, a wizard who becomes a friend of nature with a warm heart and a good spirit.
Usually, these wizards were loved by the spirits, the essence of nature.
-Maybe you will be loved by the spirits too?
“Oh well, I guess that’s how it is.”
Lee Han slipped one hand into his sleeve and tucked the baby basilisk deep into it. The dozing basilisk hissed in protest.
-It’s good that you’re friendly with the sirens. Go ahead and give me a favor. The giants are trying to pass through the passage, but please help me so that there is no needless collision.
“yes. All right.”
Lee Han answered confidently.
The spirits pricked their conscience a little when they answered, but not the sirens.
Because they were really friendly.
Of course, the first meeting was a little misunderstood.
I thought it was an aquatic creature that I had to catch because of Professor Lightning’s test.
But after that, we got rid of mac together and solved the headmaster skeleton’s rainstorm picnic together…
‘This is close enough.’
Unlike the spirits, this was really close.
Lee Han went down the aisle confidently.
* * *
“Are you there?”
-♪↗♪↗↗!
-♬♩↗↗↗!
The sirens who were singing on the cool rock in the underground passage screamed and jumped into the water as soon as they saw Lee Han.
with a splash!
with a splash!!
“…uh. I think you’re looking at it wrong! I am not a suspicious person. This is the first year student from last time!”
Lee Han called again loudly, wondering if the sirens were mistaken.
“This is the wizard I defeated like that Mac the other day!”
The sirens who were in the water quickly moved their fins to find the depths of the water.
I felt the determination to get out of here as quickly as possible.
“Because you looked at the wrong person! It’s a wizard who worked together on a picnic on a rainy and stormy day! don’t you remember? I grabbed him by the scruff of his neck during the professor’s exam with that lightning stride…”
Lee Han, who was about to say it, hesitated.
This was an anecdote that had nothing good to say.
“Don’t you remember?”
quiet.
“oh. Are there any sirens I’ve met? If so, please tell me.”
quiet.
The sirens did not come out of the water in silence without answering anyone.
Lee Han, who kept calling, realized that the sirens’ vigilance was stronger than he thought.
“Just tell me something.”
quiet.
“…If you don’t tell me immediately, I’ll fill this underground passage with lightning.”
Lee Han went on to demonstrate his skills.
When the pattern of Perkuntra flashed along with a flower on the back of the hand, the sirens shuddered at the presence felt in the pattern.
Being a bloodline of the same spirit, he had an intuition of how powerful the spirit the wizard contracted with was.
Of course, Lee Han really had no intention of calling Perkuntra.
‘The misunderstanding will be resolved when a siren who knows me comes.’
The sirens here don’t know who Lee Han is, but if a siren who knows his face comes out, the misunderstanding will be resolved…
Chow ah!
“!”
How long has it been since you said that, the siren popped her head out of the water.
It appeared so quickly that I wondered if it might have come from hiding in the water rather than coming here after hearing the news from afar.
Looking at the familiar face, the siren I met the other day was right. Lee Han greeted them warmly.
“nice to meet. How are you?”
-……
“How have you been?”
-……
“There is no need to answer verbally. You can understand by just nodding your head.”
Still, the siren did not answer.
Instead, he just glared at Lee Han with very dissatisfied eyes.
‘Have I been mistaken?’
Lee Han was puzzled.
Perhaps the siren in front of him might not be the siren he met with Lee Han.
I was mistaken because I was familiar with it. In fact, it might be a siren I have never met…
“I would have asked the siren I met to come. If you keep coming out uncooperatively like this, I have an idea. Don’t play around and tell me quickly!”
Lee Han pointed his cane and warned.
Then the siren pointed at herself very slowly.
“it’s you?”
nod
“Then why didn’t you answer?”
Siren shrugged.
Lee Han didn’t understand, but he just assumed it was.
There were many more pressing issues.
“Wait siren. what should i call it? Last time I was in the water, so I was out of my mind.”
Siren crossed her arms and looked at Lee Han.
There was contempt mixed in those eyes.
It was contempt that the human race could pronounce the name of a siren.
“ah. It must be difficult to name.”
When the other person didn’t answer, Lee Han remembered it on his own.
Some of the rare or unusual races of the Empire had their own unique language and communication methods.
Didn’t the sirens communicate with songs instead of the normal imperial language right now?
Racial differences should be respected.
“Then may I give you a nickname for a human? to be called in the future. hmm. Guinan Island. How about Kainan Island?”
Siren hated it and took out the slate.
And hastily wrote ‘Partenope’ in a crooked handwriting.
“Partenope. Right. Anyway, Partenope. Like the last time, I think we’ve become quite close, but I trust in friendship and I have something to ask of you.”
-????????????????
Partenope did not understand what she was talking about and opened her mouth.
I could refute even a single line of nonsense, but I didn’t know where to start refuting it when I heard several lines at the same time.
“I’m trying to pass the passage with the giants, but can you help keep other races or monsters from coming? Even if a fight breaks out, the aisle could collapse.”
Siren, who was writing, dropped the slate.
Lee Han kindly picked up the slate and returned it.
“Are you listening?”
Partenope was in a hurry to write no.
But suddenly I had a question.
If the wizard in front of me said no, was he the kind of person who would back down?
-……
Absolutely not.
If the uncontrolled giants rushed into the underground passage…
The image of the underground passage collapsing and collapsing clearly came to Siren’s mind.
I’ll help you!!!
“thanks.”
Lee Han was pleased with Partenope’s answer.
As expected, Siren’s answer did not disappoint Lee Han.
It was different from the spirits.
* * *
– Ugh. is a fisherman
-It’s not a fish man, it’s a kind of mermaid. Ikrusha was like that.
-What’s the difference between the two?
-Uh…
-It’s difficult. Let’s just say fish.
The giants splashed through the submerged waters of the underground passages.
It was quite deep, but the giants could walk past it.
The Sirens tried to block the entry of others by taking the cobweb-like side roads next to the underground passage one by one.
-♬♩♩♩♩…
-♩♪♪…
When they heard the mournful sirens sing, the giants hated them and covered their ears.
-eww! hate!
-The fish song is disgusting!
‘Does it feel instinctively?’
Lee Han was amazed at the giants’ reaction.
It wasn’t as much as Lee Han, but the resistance of the giants was famous. It was evident that the resistance caused the siren’s song to respond in that way.
Of course, like the giants, the sirens were very displeased.
Descendants of spirits who are proud of their songs cover their ears and say, ‘Eh! You can’t take a good look at the giants who say, ‘It’s disgusting!’.
The sirens looked at the giants with contempt.
“Can’t you make the song go unheard?”
Partenope, who was pulling Lee Han’s boat in front, gave kind advice.
Seeing the siren pretending to choke himself with both hands, Lee Han regretted asking for nothing.
‘He really hates giants.’
Unlike Lee Han, Siren really hated giants, and Lee Han couldn’t help it either.
Even Lee Han could have bought a grudge if he intervened.
“Um… can I sing?”
-???
Partenope looked at Lee Han with a look of astonishment.
I couldn’t figure out what the wizard was thinking.
Then I became afraid that I might be drinking a transformation potion and hiding among the sirens.
Because a mad wizard could do anything.
Lee Han, who noticed the meaning in his gaze, made an excuse.
“It’s not just a song.”
Bard Ipadur and Headmaster Skeleton.
It was Lee Han who worked hard on the basic structure of music magic while wandering around with the two of them.
I was still able to sing a few songs that still work, although the results were still weak to be called ‘magic’.
“As much as it contains magical power, I wondered if it could block the siren’s song even a little bit.”
Partenope was not dried. He nodded his head as if he wanted to do it.
Interpreting the meaning as cheering, Lee Han cleared his throat and sang.
“Once upon a time, there was an orc with a hoe. The orc’s field was submerged in heavy rain. Let’s go to the field…” –
?!
Partenope was startled.
Surprisingly, the young sorcerer’s song was replacing the sirens’ song!
The Siren’s song, which had an effect around the giants, lost its power and was disappearing as an echo far away.
Partenope blinked and listened several times, but the phenomenon did not change.
-Wizard! Wizard!
“oh. Does it work?”
– I’d rather have a fish song!
– The lyrics are so offensive!
“No…”
Lee Han was taken aback by the giants’ reaction.
It was amazing that it worked, but it worked and I would hate it because of the lyrics.
Why?
“Aren’t the lyrics good? ah. Maybe it’s because you don’t know what kind of song this is. It’s a song about a legendary orc farmer, but it’s a moral lesson that even the devil gives up by plowing his fields steadfastly in the face of all sorts of natural disasters…” -I
hate working songs!
-If the wizard keeps singing that song, we won’t walk!
The giants stopped and complained.
Han Lee was unfair.
‘It’s a good song.’
But since I knew it worked, all I had to do was change the song. Lee Han tried a few more memorable songs.
A song of a dwarven stonemason who never stopped swinging his hammer when his fingers shrunk (the giants booed). A song of a librarian who had accumulated so many books in his mansion that his bed disappeared and he ended up sleeping on them (only one of the giants liked it). ..
“…oh there the knight goes, gets hit by an arrow, dies, gets hit by a mace, dies, gets stabbed by a sword, gets killed by a spear…”
– Good song!
– I wanted something like this! wizard is the best!
– The knight dies! The knight dies!
– The knight is trampled to death! A knight is killed by a sheep!
“……”
The giants seemed to like it, and they sang excitedly, even changing the lyrics.
When the giants with their voices sang a song that was all out of tune and tempo, the aisle roared.
It looked like he was in so much pain that he wanted to kill himself.
“…it would have been different if it had been a different song.”
Lee Han made an excuse to Partenope.
It’s because the giants only like strange songs. If the song was about an orc farmer earlier, the sirens might have listened to it as well.
