Episode 310
The two adventurers asked, ‘Isn’t Einrogard a magic school? While he was confused, wondering ‘What on earth did he teach to those from a knightly family?’, Lee Han approached the fallen mercenaries.
Buldahak, who came to his senses, flinched when he saw Lee Han.
I realized who had caused the magical storm that had just occurred.
“You guy…”
“Sharkhan.”
Lee Han called Sharkan to watch over the mercenaries.
Even though I was tied up tightly, I didn’t know who would do what.
However, Buddhist studies seemed to understand Sharkan’s appearance in a slightly different sense. He looked away with fear in his eyes.
“name.”
“Fire… Buldahak.”
“Murder, attack on transport wagons, threats… Anyway, are you the guy with the Empire’s bounty on you?”
Buldahak nodded. Lee Han was happy and said to Gu Bon.
“That’s right.”
“…Actually, if you’ll excuse me, I think you’re happy…”
“You got some extra silver, right?”
“……”
Gubon and Busidek were shocked by Lee Han’s idea.
“Yes… but…”
“Do not worry. “We will distribute it as originally agreed upon.”
“It’s not that I was worried, it’s strange that Budhak came here.”
Gubon, like a seasoned adventurer, noticed something strange.
Lee Han and his students mainly chose quests that were close to Grandeur City and that were not that dangerous.
Interesting requests that are not dangerous but require specialized abilities (like a wizard’s magic).
These requests made quite a bit of money, but they were not requests that would show up a mercenary with a bounty like Buldahak.
Why does someone who should be aiming for a big hit show up here?
“indeed.”
“We need to interrogate him.”
“understand. But will he really spit out the truth?”
Lee Han asked as if he was worried.
“He seems quite scared right now. I was greatly shocked by the wizard’s magic. “If you interrogate him now, he might spit out the truth.”
Einroguard students say magic is something that can hit you in your sleep, but for the people of the Empire, magic was still an unknown and scary thing.
Moreover, the way Lee Han subdued his enemies was unusual even by the standards of wizards.
While catching the opponent off-guard, take the lead with invisibility magic. He was completely confused by using the darkness to unleash lightning magic. A diversionary attack whose location cannot be determined by those who try to counterattack somehow.
Since I suffered multiple attacks that would have made me feel dumbfounded even if I only received one attack, it was not surprising that half of the souls of the enemy mercenaries were gone.
Now, those mercenaries were trembling, not knowing where on earth Lee Han was a battle mage.
“Buddha study. “Tell me why you came here.”
“…because of the treasure in the cave.”
Buldahak gritted his teeth and said.
As an experienced mercenary, I knew very well that lying in front of a wizard of that caliber meant nothing.
The moment you display unnecessary arrogance or pride, your skin will be torn, your bones will be broken, and even your soul will be torn apart.
“hmm. Right.”
Lee Han nodded and pretended to listen.
And I whispered to Gubon.
“That guy is a very meticulous guy. “He was even prepared to lie if he got caught.”
“yes?”
Gubon and Busidek, who were wondering what the treasure in the cave was, were confused.
“Is that a lie?”
“Of course. There’s no way a guy with a bounty like that can easily answer just one question, right?”
“Well… I guess he was scared by the wizard…”
Vizidek spoke cautiously.
I had just experienced something, and next to me was an emerald beast growling.
It seemed like even a mercenary with a bounty several times higher than that of Buddhist monks would give up and tell the truth.
“Magic is not that omnipotent. “You two please help me.”
“How do you mean?”
“Please interrogate me using the skills of an adventurer.”
“Oh oh…”
The White Tiger Tower students looked at Gubon and Busidek with expectant expressions.
Although I was trained as a knight, this was my first time seeing an adventurer interrogate me like this.
How will they be interrogated?
“……”
“……”
Gubon and Busidek looked at each other. A little cold sweat broke out on my back.
‘You have to do your best. ‘Do you understand?’
‘of course.’
* * *
“Kaaaaaaaaaa! This bastard whose father was in love with the devil and whose mother was adulterous with a monster… Wow! “Kaaaaak!”
“Why can’t we just tell the truth!”

“You can’t fool the wizards here!”
Gubon and Videk used all their experience as veteran adventurers to interrogate Buldahak.
Buldahak’s entire body twisted under the painful torture.
“I told you! I said it! “Ask the other bastards too!!!”
“Shut up! “Tell the truth quickly!”
Crack, clap!
Lee Han and the White Tiger Tower students watched the interrogation with serious expressions.
Anrago whispered.
“That’s how you put a stick between your legs and twist them. “It must be quite painful.”
Rafadel answered.
“I have to admit that this is a good method. As my seniors said, there is a lot to learn from adventurers.”
As Buldahak fainted, Gubon and Vijidek wiped the sweat from their foreheads and took a breath.
Lee Han dipped the cold water he had summoned into a tin cup and handed it to him.
“Take it easy.”
“yes. thank you.”
The two adventurers, energized by Lee Han’s encouragement, turned their attention to Buldahak’s subordinate.
The subordinates trembled pitifully.
And thirty minutes later.
The two adventurers said with great regret.
“sorry. “With our technology, no more…”
“Mr. Wizard. “I’m sorry for daring to ask for magic, but is there any way to find out the truth from him?”
“Hmm. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to do such magic either. “I tried to understand his feelings, but…”
“Is that so. …yes?”
The two adventurers paused.
If you understand your emotions, wouldn’t you be able to figure out whether it’s the truth or a lie?
“Was he lying this whole time?”
“no. “The feeling was close to the truth.”
“…Uh… Hey, wizard. “I don’t know much about magic, but then isn’t Buddhism telling the truth?”
Lee Han smiled and shook his head as if asking what he was talking about.
“You can lie while controlling your emotions, right?”
“……”
“…Mr. Wizard. “Buddhism is not at that level, absolutely…”
At least this was certain that the two adventurers knew about magic.
If Buldahak had been a mercenary of that level, it would have been the Emperor’s Royal Guard knights, not bounty hunters, who would have come to catch him!
* * *
“You bastards, you will be damned forever.”
Buldahak, overcome by evil, cried out in tears.
It seemed really unfair that he was interrogated even though he told the truth because he hated the pain.
“ah. You said you were sorry. “Just shut up.”
“……”
Buldahak immediately closed his mouth.
Lee Han was just saying this, but to Buddhist monks, it sounded like ‘If you keep talking, I’ll rip out your tongue.’
“So, there is treasure in that cave…”
The original request was to subdue a ghoul coming from a cave near Bulparn Hill.
This was because these ghouls were coming down not only to the cave but also to the nearby roadside, threatening innocent travelers.
It was a cumbersome task for an adventurer without knowledge or skills to take on, as it required not only defeating the ghouls, but also identifying the cause of the ghouls and dealing with them…
…So, it was a good request for Einroguard students, including wizards, to take on.
However, the story of Buddhist teachings was a little different.
According to the testimony of the thieves’ guild as well as several people who had entered and exited the cave, there was definitely an ancient artifact that had not yet been discovered inside the cave.
“What are you waiting for, Wardanaz? “Let’s go in!”
The White Tiger Tower friends were very excited. Even the calm Durgyu’s eyes lit up.
There are few professions that are as fascinated with ancient ruins, ancient dungeons, and ancient artifacts as wizards.
In the past, magic and knowledge practiced were worth more than a thousand gold.
But Lee Han was skeptical.
“Isn’t this guy just stupid?”
If you look at the testimony, it was at this level.
-I got lost in a cave, and a black light kept coming out of one side! It’s definitely the light of an artifact!
-It was a light that could never come out naturally.
-If you see ghouls suddenly become ferocious and attack you when you try to get close to them, it can only be an artifact!
Lee Han sighed and looked at his friends.
“You guys always fall into the principal’s trap. “I can’t believe you were swayed by such a weak rumor.”
“Tsk…”
“Well, there’s no need to talk about that now.”
‘principal?’
‘trap?’
The two adventurers wondered to themselves.
Gubon observed the situation and expressed his opinion.
“But wizard. “Among adventurers, that is a valuable testimony.”
Even though the rumor was much more vague and nonsensical than that, many people visited it.
If the rumor was that bad, even Gubon would have been curious and gathered people to attack it.
The very fact that a mercenary with the level of Buddhism prepared so well and came this far proved the value of the rumor.
“This is not the outskirts of an empire, and I don’t think there are any useful relics left…”
“no. Dungeons and artifacts appear more often near cities than you might think.”
Due to various natural phenomena, or the magical power of the dungeons or ruins themselves, there were more frequent cases than expected of them changing the surrounding environment and popping out.
In that case, the adventurers who discovered it could make a fortune.
“great. “I had to subdue the ghouls anyway.”
“Then are you going in?!”
Angago shouted in great excitement.
“no. “The sun hasn’t risen yet.”
Although it was early morning, it was too early to go in now.
“…Yeah, that’s right.”
Even in the midst of this, Angago was left speechless by Lee Han’s calm appearance.
‘Isn’t this kid even expected?’
“I have work to do in the meantime.”
“What is it, Wardanaz?”
Rafadel listened intently.
If nothing else, Wardanaz didn’t give a crap about magic.
He probably wanted to talk about what he needed to say before dealing with the ghoul.
“Now that you’re up, let’s make some gathering requests. Rapadel. You are a bastard. Angago. You are a geranium flower. Durgyu. You are a sleepyhead. “I need to find the traces of the Rapella wild rat.”
“……”
“……”
When Lee Han and his resigned friends left, Buldahak looked at Gubon and asked.
“What on earth are those crazy wizards?”
* * *
Thanks to Lee Han’s help, the friends were able to easily complete the collection request.
-Is that Sulrakcho? What on earth are your eyes for? Can you tell the difference between a skeleton and a ghoul?
-Do you collect flowers like that? Does the flower look like a monster? Are you really going to go back and defeat the monster like that just to say you caught it?
“Everyone worked hard.”
“……”
When we finished collecting, the day became brighter.
It was finally time to enter the cave.
“By the way, wizard.”
Visidek whispered so that the mercenaries could not hear.
“What are you going to do with those guys? “If we leave it here, they might run away or come after us.”
The best thing would be to take it to a nearby city, but everyone except Lee Han was blinded by the treasure.
“You can just take me in.”
“yes?”
Busidek paused.
I can’t believe I brought him in.
I’m not saying we should cooperate as if we were attacking with another party…
“They could run away or cause trouble inside. “It must be difficult to control.”
“I thought about that too.”
Lee Han said that and took out a piece of bone.
Rafadel was surprised to see that.
“Bone, seize the enemy. Bones, seize the enemy. Bones, seize the enemy…”
Clunk, clank, clank, clank!
Bone restraints were placed on the mercenaries’ ankles and wrists.
It didn’t end there.
Bone hands were summoned to the mercenaries’ necks and hung tightly on them. He was in a state where Lee Han could strangle him with just a wave of his hand.
“good. “I think this will be enough.”
“You…really…are ridiculous…”
Rafael said in a tired voice.
A powerful warlock who seemed like something out of a fairy tale was in front of me.
