Episode 674
“Professor?”
At Lee Han’s call, Professor Bendosol said with bloody tears flowing down his face.
“The unicorn’s wounds haven’t healed yet. Don’t force him.”
“All right.”
Following the professor’s words, Lee Han did not resist and followed the unicorn.
The fully grown adult unicorn was more docile than I thought. Whether it was because he was hurt, or because Professor Bendosol was there, or because he was a bit scared of Lee Han, he guided me without showing his temper.
“!”
The place the unicorn guided was a small pond. The cloud-filled pond above the mountain peak exuded unusual colors and magical powers.
“This…”
“Unicorns have the power to change their place of stay to suit them. It would be nice to see it as another world.”
Just as the King of the Frost Giants eroded the surrounding reality into his realm simply by descending, the unicorns possessed similar abilities.
Only then did Lee Han realize who had brought the fog that enveloped the mountain peak.
It was not Professor Bendosol’s magic, but the ability of the unicorn.
“Pick up the water from that pond and take care of the unicorn. As it is a pond created by a unicorn, it will be useful for healing wounds.”
“Is it because of this place that the unicorn continues to stay in the Bitter Mountains?”
“okay. Creating a new world like this takes a lot of stamina. It’s dangerous for a unicorn with a baby that hasn’t healed yet to make a new nest somewhere else.”
“I see…”
“Hey! You must be very stupid.”
Professor Bendozol treated the bloody veins in the eyes that had burst from shedding bloody tears.
He was envious and jealous, but he was definitely a smart guy. It wasn’t for nothing that Professor Lightning Walk took her with him.
Splatter splatter –
Lee Han slowly poured water from the pond and splashed it on the unicorn. The unicorn bowed its head in gratitude.
At that time, the slumbering basilisk woke up in its sleeve and found a unicorn.
-……
The basilisk looked at Lee Han with eyes full of betrayal in the sleeve, but unfortunately, it was in the sleeve, so his eyes could not reach.
Tack clap clap clap clap!
“?”
Suddenly, his tail frenziedly tapped his wrist, and Lee Han asked in a puzzled way.
“what’s the matter?”
“joy! To be loved by a basilisk and also to be loved by a unicorn. Do you think the world will forgive you?”
The professor twisted his grumpy face even more and cursed Lee Han.
It seemed like he really wanted to see Lee Han get bitten by a basilisk and kicked by a unicorn.
Either way, Lee Han ignored it and talked to the baby basilisk.
“It can’t be helped. Can you see the hurt? I’ll give you something delicious next time, so bear with it. okay. kind. be nice Ugh. You are nicer than Pawn League.”
“……”
The basilisk was satisfied and closed its eyes again, and Professor Bendozol was shocked.
He…
He dares to trick the innocent Basilisk with a trivial pun!?
“A bar basilisk… to play with the heart of an innocent basilisk…! You guys…! dare…!”
“professor. The flower beds here at the back of the pond seem to act as medicinal herbs, is that correct?”
“right! After washing yourself with water, make medicine using herbs.”
Even though Professor Bendozol was angry, he answered Lee Han’s question.
Because the important thing was taking care of the unicorn.
“Do you know how to do alchemy?”
“I know how to do a little bit.”
“What about Dobruk’s Transmigration Potion?”
“I once helped make it.”
In fact, Dobruk’s Transmigration Potion was not a potion made at an absolute level.
It was an overly difficult potion for the lower grades of Einrogard to handle.
However, Lee Han once assisted Yoaner’s older sister, Yoanen, in making a marriage potion.
When Professor Bendosol said that Lee Han had helped make the Hwanjo potion, he looked at him as if it was quite right.
“Does your family even handle alchemy?”
“Uh… I won’t…”
“If you know that, the conversation becomes easier. It’s a potion with almost the same principle. Come here!”
Professor Bendozol set the pot down, lit it himself, and began preparing the potion.
Then the unicorn let out a faint cry. It meant that there was a fire nearby and it was hot.
The professor jumped up and apologized.
“sorry! How could I make such a mistake! A lot of noisy and annoying guys are coming!”
“Can’t I just tell you to be patient?”
“You… you… can’t you shut up!”
Professor Bendozol looked at Lee Han with the eyes of the most vicious savage in the empire.
There are degrees of being violent and savage. How could you say something like that?
“Keep an eye on the fire. After boiling for 30 minutes, you can turn it off and take a break.”
“Is there any reason to stop?”
“Because I need to take care of Drapillar.”
Drapilla is a plant whose liquid components are firmly fixed in the roots, so it was more difficult than expected to trim and extract the components inside.
If he tried to solve it by force, the roots would be destroyed and the liquid mixed, so Professor Bendosol had to do it himself.
“I can trim too…”
“Ha! When you clean up, I swear by the name of the unicorn, I’ll crawl on all fours and teach you!”
* * *
“What should I do next?”
“Wait a minute. I can’t see it.”
Professor Bendozol, who was lying on all fours in front of the cauldron, struggled and looked up.
“Wouldn’t it be better to stand on your own two feet because it’s just okay?”
“Hey, doesn’t the oath in the name of a unicorn look ridiculous?!”
‘Don’t you just like to crawl on all fours?’
Lee Han looked suspiciously at Professor Bendosol.
Without even imagining that he was being subjected to ridiculous slander, Professor Bendozol instructed the rest of the process.
“Now all we have to do is wait. You have excellent grooming skills. grunt.”
“thank you.”
“By the way, I don’t remember seeing a guy like you… Didn’t you take the vehicle training lecture?”
“That’s right, since I came in last year, I haven’t seen him before.”
“……”
Professor Bendosol dropped the coffee cup he was holding in his mouth.
“…You mean you’re going up to second grade now???”
“yes. Didn’t Professor Lightning Step tell you?”
When you were explaining, you said that you came here to solve this problem with the help of the freshmen?
“I think it was like that… I don’t usually listen to what he says.”
“……”
“Amazing. You were in first grade.”
“thank you.”
“To think that such a guy is loved by Griffin and Basilisk. Shit. The world is filthy unfair…”
“……”
Lee Han tried to say, ‘I didn’t get it because I wanted it’, but he held back.
He remembered the professor trying to throw the soil with his palm.
“good night! Don’t let me admit your abilities. I have to fix the fooling of innocent beasts with cunning lies, but…”
“I didn’t lie.”
“…you have the foundation to take care of animals.”
“!”
When Professor Bendozol suddenly acknowledged it, Lee Han was more embarrassed than happy.
Recognition from a professor is more of a loss than a benefit.
Especially if it’s someone like Professor Bendosol.
‘What kind of bullshit are you here to get me to do?’
“no. I am lacking.”
“Because there is a foundation.”
“Because it is not. You are mistaken.”
“…are you a professor? Are you a professor!”
Professor Bendozol growled and exploded in anger.
I don’t know the student in front of me, but Professor Bendosol didn’t acknowledge the students well.
Even high school students did the same.
It was because caring for animals required sheer dedication rather than superior magic.
Even the boy in front of me would have acknowledged it at that time if he had been sincere after seeing what he had been doing consistently for several years instead of acknowledging it right away.
But he admitted that since he was loved by griffons and basilisks and was recognized by unicorns, there was no need to test or observe… How can you deny this, arguing that he’s
not this arrogant guy!
“It is not that it is not. I am still lacking.”
Having dealt with all kinds of crazy professors, Lee Han did not back down easily.
Lee Han was not formidable enough to be intimidated by a professor he met outside during vacation, whether it was inside school or during a lecture.
“You said yes!”
“doesn’t exist.”
“…okay! no no! Do as you please!”
Professor Bendozol stomped and turned his head. It crawled on all fours, so it wasn’t much of a threat.
Professor Bendosol, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth again.
“Comb the unicorn’s hair.”
“yes.”
Annoyance is annoying, and as much as the unicorn liked him, the unicorn felt comfortable only when he took care of him.
“Be careful when brushing!”
“yes. I will be careful not to lose even a single thread.”
Unicorn hair is a very rare and expensive magic reagent, so if it accidentally falls out, you should take care of it instead of throwing it away.
To Lee Han’s answer, Professor Bendozol replied with a face on the verge of fainting.
“You’re worse than a mule, you’re asking the unicorn to brush it so it doesn’t get sick!!”
“ah. yes. I will take care of that too.”
The unicorn leisurely entrusted itself to Lee Han’s touch.
Contrary to his worries, Professor Bendozol sighed in relief when Lee Han took good care of him. The unicorn seemed to really like it.
Took-
The unicorn rubbed its head and left something in Yihan’s palm.
It was a tiny piece of horn.
“!!”
Lee Han was very surprised.
But he was not as surprised as Professor Bendozol was.
Professor Bendozol desperately said when the unicorn he had taken care of was trying to be tricked by a rude and suspicious student.
“Don’t be fooled by that guy! That guy sees you as money!”
‘no. How did you know?’
Lee Han was hot.
In fact, he had been thinking about how much unicorn hair and horn pieces would cost.
Kurrureung!
At that moment, something resembling thunder rang out from the sky. Professor Bendozol jumped up and said with a serious face.
“It’s a bastard!”
“What…”
“Docheol bastard! He’s coming this way. What did Professor Lightningwalker do?!”
Professor Bendozol sprinted and swung his cane.
Then, beyond the mist that enveloped the peaks, I saw ominous black shadows swirling around.
“Is that Tao-cheol?”
“okay. He can transform into a shadow and penetrate the magic gap.”
I could see monsters coming from under the mountain peak as if they were being chased by something.
Yi-han realized that Do-cheol drove the monsters from the mountain range and sent them here.
‘…They should be able to stop it.’
Deciding to trust his friends who had set up camp down below, Lee Han looked away.
“Can’t we take the first attack?”
“no! He wears the curse of retribution on his skin.”
Do-cheol was not simply a monster with excellent physical abilities.
Thanks to being born with such powerful curses, it was a threatening monster that even quite a few wizards were reluctant to deal with.
The Curse of Retribution also contributed to its notoriety.
A powerful curse that returns as much when attacked!
“A curse?”
“okay! He’ll avoid confronting us and only try to kill the unicorn. You mustn’t show any gaps!”
“All right. Rush, Perkuntra’s thunderbolt!”
“?!”
When Lee Han fired a thick bolt of lightning, Professor Bendozol instantly thought he was crazy.
In fact, the black shadow that was hit by the lightning cunningly howled. It was an intention to return the curse to the wizard.
The curse returned to Lee Han so quickly and accurately that he could neither avoid nor stop it.
Professor Bendozol looked at the young fellow anxiously, fearing that he would be charred.
“Rush, the thunderbolt of Perkuntra!”
“!?”
