Episode 392
“professor. No matter how you think about it, it is impossible to take care of basilisk eggs in a dormitory. “If you hatch it by mistake…”
“Did I do something wrong?”
“…Anyway, if it hatches, an accident can happen, right?”
I wanted to step on Professor Verdus’ toes, but the distance was a bit far. Lee Han felt regretful.
“But I received advice from an expert that it would be better for you to take charge.”
“Some crazy expert…? No, sorry. “Excuse me, but who are you?”
Lee Han wondered if the skeleton principal had said such nonsense.
“Lightning Step Professor.”
“……”
Lee Han tried to remain as calm as possible and listened closely to Professor Boladi’s explanation.
According to the explanation, Professor Lightning Step seemed to have answered Professor Boladi’s questions as sincerely as possible.
However, no matter how hard you write it down, growing and nurturing something requires interest and sense that goes beyond theory.
Professor Lightning Walk, who was worried, said this.
– Wouldn’t it be better to just leave it to the disciple?
-indeed.
Professor Boladi decided to respect the expert’s opinion.
“Indeed… But, Professor. Professor Lightning Step does not mean that I should take him to the dormitory and raise him.”
“is it?”
“Let’s compromise and raise them in a third space. “If you’re going to take care of a basilisk anyway, you’re going to have to prepare a lot of things…”
Lee Han wondered which place would be better.
Professor Thunderstruck’s Cabin was also a pretty good option.
It’s located away from the surrounding area, so it’s good for additional work…
‘hmm. ‘Nothing good can come of upsetting your food supplier.’
However, given the personality of the thunder-walking professor, there was a high possibility that he would sulk if he was told that he was taking care of basilisk eggs in his favorite cabin.
Lee Han gave up and opened his mouth.
“I’ll find a place, so you two can build it.”
“uh? I?”
“…I heard you are taking the ingredients.”
“What does that have to do with it?”
Professor Verdus asked, truly not understanding.
Lee Han smiled at the sight of a genius trying to transcend the concept of transaction.
And I asked Professor Boladi.
“professor. “Please persuade me.”
“i get it.”
After a minute, Professor Verdus was persuaded.
* * *
“Hot during the day, cold at night… I think we need a space to strengthen the cold magic as well as a fireplace.”
“Strengthen heat, strengthen cold. “Both of these are magic without any fun at all.”
Ignoring Professor Verdus’ words, Lee Han moved on.
‘You’ll need a lot of water, so it’d be better to be near a stream. Since it’s a basilisk, it looks like we’ll have to go to a place with few people… I’m sure Professor Verdus will take care of the materials.’
This was the advantage of building with a wizard, especially an excellent enchantment wizard.
Lee Han went north from the main building and searched the forest at the beginning of the mountain range before making a decision.
“Please build it here.”
“okay.”
Professor Verdus waved his cane without saying a word. In an instant, the floor was solidified, deep grooves were created, and logs began to pile up, taking the shape of a house.
The log cabin, although not spacious, was completed quickly with a fairly comfortable structure. Professor Verdus casted a fire strengthening spell at the location of the fireplace and even cast a cold strengthening spell at the opposite location.
‘After raising all the basilisks, should I store food here?’
It seemed like a waste to just throw away such a well-built building.
Lee Han carefully placed the basilisk egg in the middle of the log cabin. I felt the energy of life stirring within me.
“really. “Shouldn’t we keep intruders out?”
“Kyo, Professor…!”
“why?”
“I was surprised. “I never thought the professor would think something like that.”
Lee Han was honestly surprised.
Of course, since it was a cabin that raised basilisks, I was planning to ask people around me to cast detection-blocking or direction-confusing spells to prevent other students from coming.
But Professor Verdus did it himself.
Professor Verdus answered proudly.
“of course. “What if someone else steals the basilisk?”
“…I see, I see.”
Lee Han just canceled his surprise. Professor Verdus cast his magic regardless.
“If you don’t follow the trees marked in red, you won’t be able to get your bearings.”
“indeed.”
“what are you doing right now?”
“I’m making a basilisk line meal.”
Lee Han poured the basilisk food that Professor Lightning Walk had made into a pot and boiled it with water. A foul smell spread throughout the log cabin.
In order to hatch a basilisk, quite a lot of nutrition is needed. According to ancient literature, it is written that ‘seven chickens, four sheep, five pigs, two oxen, and sixteen fish should be slaughtered and fed to the eggs per day’, but this is not necessary if the feed is mixed in the correct way. …
Lee Han was sincerely grateful to Professor Lightning Walk.

Otherwise, Lee Han would have had to catch all of that.
“It smells bad. Do I really have to make this?”
“You may slaughter seven chickens, four sheep, five pigs, two oxen, and sixteen fish.”
“okay. To work hard.”
“…I won’t. “I’ll give you this.”
“why?!”
Lee Han ignored Professor Verdus’ words and started feeding the eggs.
The basilisk’s eggs absorbed the boiled feed porridge like a sponge absorbing water.
‘Do you like it?’
As the egg trembled slightly, I felt a wave of magic flowing out. I wasn’t sure, but he seemed satisfied with his meal.
Lee Han, who was carefully feeding the eggs, called Professor Verdus to prepare for the next task.
“professor. “Please feed me for a moment.”
Professor Verdus picked up the ladle, complaining that it smelled bad.
Then the egg trembled again and emitted waves. This time the reaction was quite negative.
“…professor. “I’ll just do it.”
Lee Han took the ladle away out of curiosity. Then Al reduced his negative reactions.
‘You’re hated by a basilisk that hasn’t even been born yet.’
Honestly, I was surprised.
If that was a talent, it was a talent.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“it’s nothing. professor. Next is… magic power.”
A task that periodically infuses magical power.
For other wizards, it was a nuisance to lose precious magic power periodically during the day…
It was the easiest task for Lee Han.
Paaaaat!
I could feel Al being happier than before. Maybe it was because Professor Verdus had become distant.
‘Maybe we should leave Professor Verdus alone.’
If I kept stressing Basilisk for no reason and his personality became strange, only Lee Han suffered.
Knock knock-
“Are you here?”
Lee Han opened the door of the log cabin. Professor Boladi was standing there holding an armful of groceries.
“What did you bring… canned food? “Do you still have basilisk food?”
“This is what you will eat.”
“!”
While Lee Han was impressed, Professor Boladi came inside.
Then he dragged Professor Verdus out from the armchair and piled up groceries in his place.
Various canned meats, fish and pickled fruits. And things like coffee and sugar gradually rose to the top.
“professor…!”
“You will need food to stay here and take care of the basilisk.”
“…professor. “I will return to the dormitory that evening.”
Lee Han answered with a straight face.

dinner.
Like he did last time, Lee Han called out the White Tiger Tower students and started cleaning out the warehouse.
The only difference was that the White Tiger Tower students took a sigh from each task.
“after…”
“……”
“If there was a golem…”
“……”
“Oops… there are no golems anymore…”
“…You can fix it tomorrow. “I was busy today.”
Despite Lee Han’s words, the White Tiger Tower students did not stop complaining.
“What are you doing so busy? “Isn’t that just studying?”
“Magic is important, but I don’t know what’s really important. Wardanaz does not know the hearts of men.”
“…I spent time preparing for hatching basilisk eggs after receiving orders from the professor. Are you done?”
“……”
“……”
The White Tiger Tower students suddenly became solemn.
‘I told you that Wodanaz would have a story too.’
“By the way, Wodanaz.”
“What’s going on, Priest Siana?”
When Siana, the snake beast priest of the Flemain Church, spoke to Lee Han, he turned his head.
“You did it last time, so you don’t have to do it today.”
“ah. But since they came late and came from other towers, I’m trying to do more.”
If it were the Blue Dragon Tower, they would never have shown such kindness, but the Phoenix Tower priests deserved this kindness.
However, Priest Siana shook his head resolutely.
“There is a problem.”
“what?”
“Normally, you would have prayed, but because of this, you are losing your prayer time.”
“I… I see.”
“Now it’s my turn… Did you have no choice but to come because those White Tiger Tower people asked you to work together?”
“W-what…!”
“no!”
White Tiger Tower students were aggrieved by the absurd misunderstanding.
If Lee Han had dragged them out, they would have dragged them out.
It was so unfair that I couldn’t even speak properly.
“But I guess there’s not much of a reason to keep showing up for things that don’t need to come out… Besides, I think you put pressure on me to fix the golem earlier…”
“It’s not pressure, it’s a request!”
“Yes… a lot of people say that.”
Priest Siana spoke as if he did not believe it at all.
The White Tiger Tower students couldn’t believe why they were receiving such suspicion.
Given that there were Wardanaz and White Tiger Tower students, who would attack whom?
If it was one hundred, then one hundred Wardanaz was the culprit.
“You know how strong Wodanaz is!”
“But I heard that wizards are inherently slow at casting, so they are often defeated by knights.”
“…That’s true, but for Wodanaz, such disadvantages are meaningless! “He can attack first if he wants!”
“There’s no way Wardanaz would do that. “How polite you are.”
“……”
“……”
Not only the White Tiger Tower students, but also Lee Han became a bit embarrassed.
I never thought I would get compliments returned like this every time we met.
What was surprising was that other priests also agreed.
“you’re right. There is no way Wardanaz would pull off a surprise attack like that.”
“No… I do it.”
“Are you telling a white lie because you’re afraid of embarrassing the people at White Tiger Tower?”
“That’s not true, I’m saying it for real…”
Lee Han explained as kindly as possible.
“I really came out not to threaten you, but to join you. “They asked for the golem.”
“yes. what. okay.”
“If you say so…”
Lee Han realized that explaining it now would have no effect.
I even heard other priests working next to me whispering.
-Did the White Tiger Tower forcefully drag Lee Han of the Wardanaz family away?
-Well… I don’t want to make hasty speculations, but looking at their current attitude…
“…hey. Wardanaz. “You go and rest.”
“But I invited you all, so I’m sorry if I’m the only one resting.”
“Is now the time to say something like that?”
The White Tiger Tower students learned one thing.
It may be more unfair to be called the guy who threatened Wodanaz than to be called the guy who was threatened by Wodanaz!
