Episode 615
‘After. It passed.’
Lee Han let out a sigh of relief.
Neelia had forged the principal’s signature so that she could escape the Shadow Guard during the vacation.
Fortunately, the principal’s nerves seemed to be focused on the knights below.
“Anyways, they seem useless…”
“If you order them to shoot, I will shoot them secretly.”
At the coy words of the Shadow Ranger Hunters, the Headmaster Skeleton shook his head.
“done. Let’s be content with what we shot last time.”
“……”
Lee Han was startled by the conversation next to him.
Of course, it was hard to get along with the hunters in the northern mountains and the knights below them.
From the point of view of the hunters who risked their lives to scout the depths of the mountain range, the knights were just arrogant bastards who didn’t help and just sighed.
In contrast, from the perspective of the knights in the north, the hunters were savage bastards who continued to complain about asking for more while stealing all the supplies of their already barren family.
‘Still, shooting arrows was a bit harsh.’
* * *
The northern knights sat in front of the log cabin and waited for their master to return.
One of the young apprentice knights who couldn’t wait got a little angry.
“No matter how it is, is it right to keep the honorable knights of the north waiting like this? I was sure you would come today!”
How could you dare to get angry with yourself first when the sky-like knights are silent?
Originally, the club would have been flying, but the old knight who taught the apprentice knight said with a grin.
“Ohh. If you do that, then when the woodcutters return, you want to say something.”
“Can you really do that?”
“of course!”
The other knights who were about to get angry stopped moving and smiled at the old knight’s words.
The young apprentice knight nodded vigorously, unaware of the situation.
“All right. dare!”
Soon after, a group of woodcutters came up from below.
It was the woodcutters in this neighborhood returning from work.
The woodcutters of the northern mountains, composed of various races, walked with large bodies and axes that made them feel small. Every time they exhaled and took a step, steam from their heated bodies gushed out.
“……”
The apprentice knight opened his mouth wide at the appearance of the woodcutter, which was different from his expectations.
Seeing this, the knights giggled.
The free peoples around these northern mountains were different from the free peoples in other parts of the country.
Living in this rugged area is a difficult task without considerable force and courage.
In particular, the mountain woodcutters here were famous among them.
They are made up of those who are naturally strong, so the moderate group of monsters are those who do not ask for help and wipe them out by themselves!
“This… this… making the knights wait like this!”
The apprentice knight couldn’t back down because of his pride and shouted.
At that cry, the woodcutter looked at the apprentice knight as if he were an idiot.
“What is it? knights. Did you come to pick up the fight?”
“Dare to persimmon! dare…!”
“I’m sorry. Please understand. It’s because he’s still young.”
The old knight laughed and covered the apprentice knight’s mouth.
“You know very well why we came. It’s because it’s such a waste of talent.”
At that, the woodcutter scratched their cheeks.
In fact, they already knew.
Young Woodsman Wolgan.
Even among woodcutters, he was famous for his large size and strong strength.
Of course, this kind of fame also went into the ears of the articles around you.
“But you hate him. I already ran away.”
Surprisingly, Wolgan had been trained as an apprentice several years before.
As it had been famous for several years ago, knights came and recommended it from then on.
At the earnest invitation, Ulgan followed the knights and was trained as an apprentice, but soon lost interest and returned to the woodcutter.
“We don’t even know why. I’m sure it was well-received even among apprentice knights.”
“We know why. He must have chosen to live as a free woodsman rather than as a frustrating knight.”
The woodcutters giggled at their comrades.
Some knights were angry, but the old knight extended his arm to stop them.
“Let me tell you a story. I just want to hear what you didn’t like.”
“Aren’t the other knight apprentices ostracizing you?”
“That’s not right.”
“How can you be sure?”
“That’s because Ulgan knocked out all the other apprentice knights…”
On the first day at the inn, Ulgan knocked out all the other apprentice knights and reigned as their leader.
If Ulgan said a word, everyone would even pretend to die, but there was no way there would be bullying.
“under! It’s also a wolgan.”
“Didn’t you quit because you were boring?”
Despite the woodcutter’s exclamation, the old knight did not lose his composure.
I’ve been a knight to the North for quite some time, but few lumber have been as confident as Wulgan.
-This guy was born for a knight!
Big size, strong physical strength, excellent reflexes, and even innate psychic powers.
If raised well, a legendary knight might be born in the north, I thought.
It wasn’t that I was ignoring the woodcutter, but Ulgan was too unfortunate to end up as a woodcutter.
‘I’ll somehow persuade him and bring him to the Knights.’
This time, since he’s a little older, he’ll take him around and teach him.
“The article is boring.”
“???”
“But wizards are not boring!”
“…?!”
The northern knights turned their heads because they wanted to quarrel with some crazy stranger, and were shocked to see his face.
The Guardian of the Empire’s Magic Barrier was walking with the Shadow Guard.
“Each, each, each…”
“Each one. Pretty good.”
“W Why are you here!?”
The northern knights were taken aback.
Usually, when Gonadaltes came to this barren land, it was when a big problem arose.
The magic on the fortress of the rangers in the mountains was destroyed, or a large army of monsters appeared…
Among them, the old knight looked at other possibilities.
“Could it be that Ulgan was chosen as Ein Rogard’s student?!”
“Yes.”
“Nonsense!”
“why. Can’t you do magic if you’re big?”
At the words of Gonadaltes, the Shadow Rangers burst into laughter from behind.
“Haha, the knights are full of prejudice!”
“that’s right!”
“……”
The knights vowed to spit on supplies sent to the Shadow Patrol next time.
“Ah… no. No matter how you look at it, Ulgan is a natural talent as a knight.”
“Isn’t his physical strength a bit strange? Even considering the size? It’s probably because he has an innate sensitivity to magic. Even if you don’t learn it, you can handle magic to some extent. Besides, do you have superpowers? This is a common phenomenon of uneducated wizards.”
“Oh…”
The woodcutter looked at the Headmaster Skeleton, intrigued.
I knew he was a pretty great person, but seeing him talk like this made me more trustworthy.
An aura of nobility and intelligence that was on a different level from that of the knights overflowed.
“No, both magic and psychic powers are necessary even for knights!!”
The knights desperately refuted when the atmosphere became strange.
Chivalry also needed to be able to handle magical powers in order to extract an aura, and psychic powers were also more useful for knights than wizards.
Magicians can produce the same results through study anyway, so why obsess over something like supernatural powers?
Just looking at what wizards call psychic powers like ‘primitive magic’, I could tell.
‘Something is strange.’
Nogisa was puzzled by Gonadaltes’ relaxed attitude.
That skeleton headmaster was not the kind of person who would listen to the other person so leisurely.
What are you up to?
* * *
“I hate mountains.”
Alcicle, who was walking in front of him, gasped and swung his staff. It was a typical appearance of a wizard who neglected physical training.
Seeing that, Eandurde looked at Alcicle in pity.
“Pitiful!”
“no. Originally, there are a lot of weak people among mages.”
“?”
Eandurde looked up and down at Lee Han.
Embarrassed, Lee Han made an excuse.
“There are exceptions.”
“Why aren’t you training?”
“That’s because the convenience of magic is so great…”
“Laziness!”
“no. It’s different from laziness… right?”
The reason why Lee Han and his party are traveling separately now is simple.
It was because of the order of the skeleton headmaster.
-Seeing that there are no freshmen, it must be somewhere else. I’ll be dazzling the knights, so find them.
-What do you do after you find it?
-Let them enter Ein Lorgard.
-yes? How do you say
– It’s easy. just like you usually do
-…No…
Lee Han was dumbfounded, but the headmaster went away.
The remaining Lee Han had no choice but to go out to find Ulgan with Alcicle and his juniors.
“O snow, teach me the traces.”
As Alcicle chanted, snowflakes revealed footprints on the floor.
Fortunately, when he succeeded, Alcicle let out a sigh of relief.
This magic was a magic to find traces, but it was not omnipotent. The magic itself failed if not used in the right place.
I was worried that I would fail because there were young wizards watching from behind, but fortunately I succeeded.
‘phew. I’m glad.’
“and. There must have been a way.”
“It’s not that difficult magic. Shall I teach you later?”
“thank you. I was contemplating whether to use the Foresight Magic.”
When Lee Han put back the colorful stones used for divination, Alcicle asked, puzzled.
“Foresight magic? This is not a workshop, so it must be a lot of pressure?”
Normally, he would have asked, ‘You already know how to use divination magic?’
“ah. I managed to handle this level somehow with magic power.”
“……”
Upon hearing that, Alcicle looked at the footprints of the snowflakes he had sown.
Swipe-
“Why are you deleting it?!”
“Forget this!”
“No, why are you doing that, really!”
While the alcicle was drying, Eandurde sniffed and searched for the location of the person.
“Over there!”
Eandurde pulled Lee Han’s sleeve and pointed far away.
A man with a huge body was chopping a tree with an ax, and the speed was surprisingly fast.
‘That guy. If you enter Einrogard, you won’t have to worry about firewood!’
Lee Han was surprised to discover a talent who might upset the market balance of Einrogard.
Alcicle was curious as well.
“He looks like a big warrior, but he has quite a talent for magic, doesn’t he? It even uses superpowers.”
“You mean superpowers?”
“okay. It’s like telekinesis. I’m subconsciously using telekinesis on my axe.”
“It’s really amazing.”
‘You’re more amazing…’
Alcicle swallowed the words that were about to come out.
No matter how much I thought about it, compared to those ordinary psychic powers, the boy from the Wodanaz family was much more amazing.
“Where are you from?”
Ulgan was surprised to discover the wizards.
“Are there knights…?!”
“no. We are mages from Ein Lorgard. Wolgan.”
Alsicle calmed the young woodcutter and said.
“You mean Ein Rogard…?”
“okay. I came here because you have a talent for magic. Can we talk for a minute?”
Ulgan put down his ax and approached with a bewildered expression.
“Magic…”
“I heard that you trained as an apprentice knight. Can I ask why you quit?”
Ulgan’s face darkened at Alcicle’s question.
“ah. If this is a difficult question to answer…”
“No. Actually, I should have answered correctly. That.I…”
As Urgan put on a determined expression, the other three looked intently.
I was wondering what the reason was for it to do that.
why?
“…I hate fighting.”
“……”
“……”
There was silence for a moment.
Alcicle, who was the first to come to his senses, spoke.
“Then Einrogard would suit you even better!”
“Do you think so?”
When Ulgan was tempted, Lee Han thought to himself.
‘I don’t like fighting, can I come to Ein Lorgard?’
