Episode 277
‘shit. It’s like an iron wall.’
Lee Han was disappointed.
Actually, it wasn’t that surprising.
The imperial officials were reputed to be honest and upright, so there was a high possibility that they would not be swayed by such personal sentiments.
Still, since we are from the same tower, I thought we might have something in common…
“If I were to work in a government position, what kind of position do you think would suit me?”
Lee Han, unable to let go of his regrets, asked outright.
Originally, I wouldn’t have done it this way, but I was that greedy.
Of course, Iunrade looked like he had just heard the most absurd joke in the world. Lee Han, seeing that expression, quickly changed his words.
“It was a joke.”
“haha. “I knew that would happen.”
Lee Han clicked his tongue inwardly.
I never thought he would be so honest and upright.
I wasn’t dispatched to Einrogard for nothing.
“Anyway, student Wardanaz… thank you for kindly accepting the consultation today.”
“no. “It was something I had to do.”
“I am cautious, but as a senior, I am concerned that Wardanaz may be carrying a bit too much burden on his shoulders.”
Lee Han’s face brightened.
“But don’t worry, I have no intention of stopping student Wardanaz. “Aren’t trials a blessing and a gift to those with talent?”
Lee Han’s face darkened.
‘As expected of someone who graduated, you naturally say crazy things.’
* * *
While Iunrade was concerned about the impact on His Majesty the Emperor and the imperial officials, there were people sweating hard elsewhere.
Adventurer Kilvedeq looked at his companion, wiping sweat with his sleeve.
“What do you think?”
“I think it’s still a bit lacking.”
“Don’t be damned! This is enough! Even when I went hunting for a runaway cave troll, I didn’t prepare like this!”
“Don’t be angry. I’m not doing this because I want to be like this. “You know that crazy wizard won’t agree.”
“……”
Kilvedek fell silent.
Even adventurers who have never seen each other before can quickly become friends when embarking on a dangerous mission together.
That was the case with Kilvedek now.
While trying to defraud a wizard from Einrogard, he was caught and brought in!
-If I had known that you were a magician from Einroguard, I certainly wouldn’t have committed this scam!
Other adventurers, including Kilvedek, cried out like that, but it was already too late.
The mad wizard asked the tricked adventurers if they would help him or receive proper punishment according to imperial law…
Of course the adventurers said, ‘We will help with the work!’
It was a reasonable punishment according to imperial law, but it had no meaning to high-ranking wizards.
If you chose the latter, you could have been secretly buried alive.
-What on earth are you trying to get us to do?
-I heard that Einrogard’s land is vast, so maybe there’s a need to get some materials?
-You might have to conquer the dungeon…
– Nonsense. Why would a wizard belonging to Einroguard call adventurers like us?
-Well, then?
-Biological experiment… Could it be that they are trying to conduct a biological experiment?
The captured adventurers trembled.
But fortunately, things turned out differently than they expected.
-To sum it up.
-yes?
-Assume there is one intruder, and work together to subdue it.
-…!
It wasn’t gathering materials, conquering dungeons, or giving up one’s body for magic.
The mad wizard wanted the adventurers to join forces to subdue one intruder.
-That’s still possible!
-I know my reputation isn’t that great, but I am someone who has solved dozens of requests in the West!
-i get it. Don’t test it.
And the crazy wizard neutralized Hapgong without blinking and then beat up the adventurers.
-again. Be prepared properly.
-Queuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
The mad wizard beat up the adventurers and prepared them again, and then beat them up again and prepared them again.
No amount of pleading, pleading, cajoling or bribery worked.
He was truly the crazy wizard that adventurers feared.
Why did the saying ‘don’t get involved with wizards’ come about among adventurers?
It couldn’t be that useful if there was a high-level person like a wizard in the party.
Nevertheless, the reason why the saying ‘Don’t get involved with wizards’ came about was because of this crazy wizard-like being.
An evil being that once you get involved wrongly, you can’t escape until you die!
“…I will try to prepare again.”

Kilvedek let out a long sigh. She felt like spitting, but she couldn’t because she was scared.
Since you can’t run away, all you can do is prepare until the wizard is satisfied.
“I think it’s a good idea to fire an arrow the moment you open the basement door. However, the attack after that is a bit ambiguous.”
“What about setting a trap in front of the door?”
“good. Let’s add some more. “Let’s have someone on standby next to us and then attack.”
“Can you get the timing right?”
“f*ck… I have to try it now that it’s like this.”
“good. Then I too will pull the crossbow and jump forward.”
“What about the potion?”
“I hung it up. If you pull it, it will fly right away.”
The adventurers enthusiastically devised a plan to repel the intruders who would open the door to the underground workshop.
It was the first time that not only Kilveedek but also other adventurers prepared with all their might.
As an adventurer, I received insufficient training in my spare time and did not prepare for the next mission in advance.
Rather, there were more people who ate, drank, and enjoyed themselves in a debaucherous manner.
It was a dangerous job and one that earned and spent a lot of money, so in a way, it was natural.
But today was different.
Thanks to the crazy wizard, the adventurers were all united in full force and were maximizing their own abilities by 200% and 300%.
“How about changing the window sill? “Let’s increase the length.”
“Maybe it’s not that bad… okay. “I’d like to add some shields as well.”
“My serrated sword and your mace. If you swing them together, it will be very effective. “Let’s work together.”
bang!
“!!!!”
The adventurers instinctively flinched at the sound of the door opening.
The crazy wizard has returned.
“Joe, just give me a little more time!”
“It’s not finished yet!”
The adventurers begged because they knew that once the breakthrough began, they would be beaten by the crazy wizard.
Professor Boladi asked with an expressionless face.
“How long will it take?”
“One hour… Oh, no. 30 minutes! “It only takes 30 minutes!”
“i get it. It starts in 30 minutes. “The other person is a student.”
“Thank you… who?”
Professor Boladi did not answer twice. He motioned for me to get ready and left the underground workshop.
The remaining adventurers’ eyes widened and they clung to the workshop window.
…So we should attack the pale young student coming over there?
It was better than the crazy wizard, but this time I was worried in a different way.
Can I really attack you?
“Uh… aren’t we getting caught?”
“You’ve already been caught.”
* * *
Even though he arrived at the dark underground workshop following Professor Boladi’s guidance, Lee Han was not surprised.
‘I was prepared.’
Final exam week.
If you hadn’t guessed what happened when you saw Professor Voladi putting adventurers in coffins and shipping them to school the other day, Lee Han was not qualified to survive in Einrogard.
Professor Boladi nodded slightly as he saw Lee Han showing signs of tension throughout his body.
It was the attitude of a great battle mage.
“The adventurers are waiting inside. Break through.”
“All right.”
A battle mage had to be able to respond flexibly to all kinds of situations.
You must be able to deal with enemies even when they are hiding and waiting inside the building.
…I’m not sure why he had to do that in first grade, but instead of countering, Lee Han strengthened his hand holding the cane.
‘Make all possible preparations.’
Cast various strengthening spells, disturb the enemies’ vision with illusion magic, and then let the summons in…
I knew this day would come since Professor Boladi brought the adventurers, so I wasn’t surprised, but my heart was heavy.
You must enter the basement, which has been prepared and prepared by seasoned adventurers who have experienced many hardships.
No matter how thoroughly Lee Han prepared, he could still lose.
‘Let’s consider ourselves lucky that there is no phoenix or Cerberus.’
Lee Han thought like that and composed himself.
I suddenly felt eyes on me and looked to the side to see adventurers observing Lee Han through the window of the underground workshop.
Lee Han’s face hardened.
‘They are indeed adventurers.’
As expected, the experience gained by adventurers was not something to be trifled with. I was already closely observing Lee Han’s power.
If you accidentally expose your magic here, you will be stabbed right back.
‘I don’t know if it will work…’
“professor. “I’m so scared.”
“?”
“Can I really defeat the adventurers inside here?”
“Do you have a headache?”
Professor Boladi expressed his bewilderment briefly and simply.
* * *
The adventurers became distraught when they heard the student sound scared and anxious outside the window.
I wondered if it would be okay to attack like this.
“I guess we’re not in a conspiracy.”
“What kind of conspiracy?”
“He wanted to kill the disobedient disciple, but he may have called us because he didn’t want to get blood on his hands.”
“……”
After hearing it, it seemed plausible. The adventurers fell silent.
That relaxed guard gave Lee Han a golden opportunity.
bang!
Lee Han immediately kicked open the door to the basement workshop. An arrow flew inside.
Deep, deep-
Arrows hit the water shield that had been placed in advance. Lee Han had already cast several strengthening spells, including <Spatial Awareness>, so he knew it even without looking.
“…Light!”
Instead of going in, Lee Han intensely released magical energy into the underground workshop and casted the <Light Generation> magic.
A bright sphere of light reminiscent of a blazing sun appeared in the underground workshop.
“Light, light, light…!”
Originally, there was no need to invest this much magic power in a magic that only had 1 circle.
Magical power was a limited resource, and distributing that resource depended on the wizard’s skill.
However, Lee Han ignored such calculations and poured light into the workshop. Although there was a light source, the adventurers who were accustomed to the dark were instantly blinded.
“Rise, you skeleton warriors! Heat, distort the air!”
Lee Han threw bone fragments and summoned skeleton warriors. Although they couldn’t move properly yet, they were sufficiently threatening to adventurers who didn’t know that fact.
“Undead! “Dark magic!”
“Be prepared!”
Even in the chaos, the adventurers’ movements were smooth and their breathing did not break. Lee Han couldn’t help but be impressed.
‘I thought he was a fraud, but it looks like he has skills. Well, if I didn’t have the skills, I wouldn’t have dared to scam Professor Einrogard.’
In an underground workshop so bright that you can’t see in front of you.
The number of summoned skeleton warriors seemed to number more than a dozen under the power of illusion magic.
Nevertheless, the adventurers swung their weapons accurately and took down the skeleton warrior.
That’s how much painstaking practice took place in this underground workshop.
“Gotcha, gotcha!”
Kilvedek was surprised even after he defeated the skeleton warrior.
“Bone, seize the enemy!”
Lee Han immediately went into the next attack.
The reason the light exploded and the skeleton warriors were brought inside in the first place was not to attack, but to attract attention.
It was enough for the enemy not to be able to rain down on Lee Han what they were preparing.
Using the broken bones of the skeleton warriors, Lee Han unleashed bone magic at random.
“Bone, seize the enemy!”
With the sound of nerves scraping, bone fragments came together from all directions, creating a restraint ball.
The remaining adventurers shouted as they avoided the entrance to a blind spot.
“He wasn’t a young student!!!”
“Hold on! If you use magic like that, it won’t last long! “Exhaustion is coming soon!”
“Ugh…!”
An unlucky adventurer fell after being hit by a barrage of bone magic.
The other adventurers persisted. It was thanks to the ordeal of the crazy wizard that they grew up.
‘The end is coming soon!’
‘The magic power of a wizard is infinite…’
…But why does it take so long?
