Episode 309
“Let’s eat.”
The soup in the pot placed on the campfire was bubbling. The soup I brought with me was made by sautéing fresh vegetables and meat, adding water, opening the can, and seasoning it. It was a very decent soup.
Of course, Lee Han cooked.
“??”
“????”
Gubon and Busidek missed the moment to say, ‘Why are you doing this?’
I just quietly accepted the wooden bowl.
White Tiger Tower students ate very naturally.
“Wardanaz guy. “Your skills are still the same.”
“He’s as good at cooking as he is at magic.”
“By the way, Mr. Gubon. Do adventurers usually eat like this?”
Dergyu was curious and asked a question. Gubon was thinking about how to explain this and answered while scratching his head.
“Usually, I eat well when solving nearby problems or until the first or second day of a request…”
Adventurers also took care of the quality of food for requests that were likely to be short or short distances.
However, there was no such thing when going on long-distance expeditions or entering large-scale ruins or dungeons.
It was all about efficiency and compression. I didn’t know when I would get hungry, but no one was crazy about the taste.
“indeed. “Is it appropriate to eat like this for a request like today?”
“I thought adventurers only ate dried beef jerky.”
“I guess there was some degree of exaggeration.”
“…No, even though I eat well, I rarely eat this well…”
Gubon said in bewilderment.
‘Eating well’ meant eating fresh fruit, bread, or rice cakes that you brought with you before they spoiled, not preparing something grand like this.
Starting with getting water for cooking, doesn’t cooking using fire require a lot of fuel? It was rare for adventurers to expend that much energy in one meal.
“Aren’t you going to eat like this?”
“Yes… Both water and fire require strength.”
“indeed.”
Lee Han nodded and looked at his friends. The White Tiger Tower students covered the soup with their hands to protect it, as was the habit they had developed at Einrogard.
“I’m not giving it back.”
“I had no intention of taking it away. I already cooked it, so what can I do? Well, without magic, this would all be work.”
Lee Han also thought that if he had done this without magic, it would have consumed a lot of time and energy.
“Then from now on, we’ll simply use preserved food for adventurers…”
“You don’t have to decide too hastily. Wodanaz.”
“That is correct. “Didn’t Gubon here also tell you to eat well when you can?”
Angago and Rafadel desperately tried to persuade Lee Han.
Honestly, this was more delicious than the meal served at the knights’ official residence.
Gubon’s colleague, Busidek, tilted his head.
“This soup is so amazingly delicious.”
“Isn’t it because the ingredients are good?”
“I saw it while I was helping with the cooking, but there wasn’t anything special about the ingredients… Is the water special?”
“water? “What is water?”
“It’s the water summoned by the wizard.”
“like. indeed. “It could be something like that.”
While the two adventurers were whispering, Anrago scraped the bowl and the pot with a ladle before getting hit by Lee Han.
“Suck it up. “You two should eat it too.”
“Ah… no… it would be a waste to have anything left…”
* * *
When the time came, Lee Han quietly woke up.
The two adventurers said they would stand watch among themselves, but Lee Han refused.
If you develop a lazy habit, it can become annoying later when the adventurers are not around.
‘Anyway, the guild recommended some really sincere people.’
The way everyone stepped up to do something every time they tried to do it left a strong impression on Lee Han.
I heard that there are many adventurers who do not have very good personalities, but it seems that the guild recommended a truly trustworthy talent.
“Eye, pierce the darkness.”
There was no need to stay on watch and be bored.
Lee Han cast the dark vision spell and began reading the grimoire. It was a type of extreme madness that would make other White Tiger Tower students shudder when they saw it.
<Ancient Basic Necromancy – About Summoning True Undead>
A true warlock does not need to worry about the undead of the other world, so he must be able to move dead beings with pure will alone. Here are the skeleton’s orders…
While other warlocks were comfortable making contracts and summoning undead in the undead world, Lee Han was using old-fashioned black magic created by assembling bones himself due to the headmaster’s insistence that he ‘learn authentic ancient black magic’, but it was not without its advantages. .
If there really wasn’t an advantage, Lee Han wouldn’t have done it no matter how much the skeleton principal insisted.
‘I hope the skeleton warriors’ attacks will be perfected during this vacation.’
It was now possible to summon skeleton warriors, but their movements were quite limited and there were many failures.
It would be nice if we could just get to the stage where the skeleton warriors attack the enemy on their own… No, it would be more comfortable when dealing with the enemies.
Shashashak-
“?”
Lee Han raised his head. There seemed to be a sound of brush rustling somewhere.
‘Is it an animal?’
Pot!

As soon as I could finish my thought, light flashed and exploded from below. The intruder prevention spell I had cast just in case had worked.
Although it had no offensive power, it was enough to confuse the intruder and allow us to respond.
As an experienced Einrogard student, Lee Han moved without any waste.
puck!
“wake up! “It’s an attack!”
“Kyo, are you the principal!?”
After kicking their friends’ backs, the White Tiger Tower students stood up in a hurry.
“Not the principal!”
“Everything… I’m glad.”
“Not fortunate! Everyone, take up your weapons first!”
The experienced Gubon and Busidek were very nervous.
The students’ skills were excellent, but in these surprise raids and melees, composure was also very important, apart from skill.
I never thought an intruder like this would show up while I was out on a quest with students.
‘I hope it’s not a big deal!’
Gubon and Busidek prayed that the intruder was a shepherd wandering around, a traveler, or a lost adventurer.
“Hold your shield and bow your head.”
“Protect Wardanaz!”
“!?”
However, the students’ movements exceeded the two adventurers’ expectations.
The moment the light exploded, they immediately stood up and formed a formation with weapons and shields, which was not something they were usually good at.
‘As expected, you come from a family of knights!’
Although it was not specifically because they came from a knightly family, the misunderstanding between the two adventurers grew even more.
“Damn it, what are you guys doing here!”
A harsh voice came from below. It was clear that her vision was affected by the light.
‘If you want to attack, you have to attack now…’
Gubon was worried. If it had been a party of warlike adventurers, he would have attacked the opponent first.
But all the students here come from knight families. There was a high possibility that he would not choose such a cowardly act.
“We are adventurers who came from Grandeur City to solve the request of Bulpaun Hill. “If you don’t reveal your identity, we will attack you!”
“We came to the green hill two days ago. go away!”
The White Tiger Tower students were taken aback by the sound coming from below.
This was because I did not yet know much about the customary rules of adventurers.
“Should we step down?”
“no! Normally, it is customary for the one who arrives late to withdraw, but that is not always the case, and to do something so reckless without any evidence…”
“i get it. “I’m going to step down!”
“!”
His friends and adventurers were surprised by Lee Han’s shout, but they did not refute.
It was out of respect for Lee Han’s authority.
“Ugh… There’s no need to be considerate of guys like that.”
“Be patient. “It’s even more shameful to grab hold of people like that.”
While Angago and Rafadel were feeling regretful, Lee Han spoke again.
“We need to get confirmation that they won’t attack while we retreat. “Reveal yourself!”
“Don’t talk nonsense. “How do you know your bastard is going to attack?”
“Everyone comes out one by one and checks. How are you feeling?”
“…good night.”
Lee Han spoke to Rafad El.
“I’m counting on you.”
“okay. Okay… wait a minute.”
Rafael narrowed his eyes as he remembered the time he and Lee Han went to the undead world.
“You can’t believe it…”
“Don’t think strangely and move quickly. “If there’s anything suspicious, tell me right away.”
“……”
* * *
The mercenary, Buldahak, frowned and walked out.
The wrinkles between Buldahak’s eyebrows deepened when he saw Rafadel.
‘what? ‘You’re a kid…?’
It was okay for Buddhist monks to shed unnecessary blood, but this was a different story.
Aren’t they dressed quite well, including equipment?
Usually, young adventurers often get upset without being able to use proper weapons, let alone armor, but the young one in front of me was the exact opposite.
It was clear that he had probably dressed up using family mementos or property he had brought with him.
‘I don’t think a party with a guy like that would be that great.’
Buldahak’s fingers twitched unconsciously. It was strongly tempting to signal to his men behind him to storm.
“Blink.”
With a small cry, a sharp bolt of lightning exploded onto the Buddha Crane’s back.
Let’s go!
“Big… gasp?!”
Due to the completely unexpected attack, Buldahak’s limbs stiffened and his weapon fell.
Even Rafadel was surprised at how unexpected it was.
“Whoa… Wardanaz!?”
“Flash, flash. “Flash.”
Lightning struck again, and the mercenaries hiding in the nearby bushes screamed and rolled around.
“It’s a wizard!!! “There is a wizard!”
“Find the wizard… Kyahak!”
The remaining mercenaries finally realized the situation and looked around, but saw nothing.
“Light the torch!”
“The target is…”
“You idiot! A wizard sees through the darkness! Turn it on quickly!”
‘I guess I should stop using lightning magic.’
Lee Han thought as he moved in his seat.
The reason I said I would step down in the first place and the reason I sent Rafad El in front was to waste time and figure out the opponent’s numbers.
As soon as you figure it out and grab the back, you start attacking right away.
I took down the threatening guys first with precise lightning magic.
Although invisibility was applied, if he continued to use lightning magic, his location could be detected and he could be counterattacked.
Of course, that didn’t mean he couldn’t use magic.
“Spring up.”
The water beads quickly split and moved in different directions.
It was an attack that had no way of knowing where it was coming from.
puck!
“I’ve already used a lot of magic! “Wizards don’t use magic anymore… ugh.”
The mercenary who was shouting fell down, and the water ball hit another mercenary’s chin, and the remaining mercenaries were terrified.
“I surrender!”
“I surrender, wizard! “I surrender!”
Gubon finally came to his senses and shouted.
“Put your weapons down and put your hands up! I will attack anyone who moves even slightly! Busy deck! “Go tie them up!”
“We will go too.”
The White Tiger Tower students and Vizidek tightly bound the fallen and surrendered mercenaries.
“This guy… Buldahak! “It’s Buddhism!”
Vizidek shouted in surprise.
“Who are you?”
“He is a criminal with an Imperial bounty on him!”
“oh. “How much is the bounty?”
The invisibility was removed and Lee Han appeared from behind.
Gubon asked curiously.
“How did you know that this person was a Buddhist scholar?”
“I didn’t know.”
“yes?”
“If there is a fight, it is always advantageous to attack first, right?”
The White Tiger Tower students nodded in agreement with Lee Han’s words.
“As expected, Wardanaz-kun.”
“He’s a guy who never lets his guard down. “You have to learn things like that.”
“……”
