Episode 418
“Are knights naturally persistent?”
Angago proudly answered Lee Han’s question.
“yes. “Knights don’t forget their silver lining.”
“That’s annoying.”
“!?”
Angago was taken aback when he suddenly heard the verbal abuse.
What did the knights do?!
‘I really don’t want to go in.’
Lee Han frowned and thought.
Since I wasn’t officially going out, it wasn’t good to meet many other people.
The adventurers will disappear from here after this quest is over, so there will be no reason to contact Einrogard, and the wizards will also not return to Einrogard since the festival is over…
I was worried that it would be kept secret if I met the knights of the Beech Knights.
Even if you restrict access to a secret, the more people who know about it, the more likely it is to be leaked.
‘If I step back and let someone else do it…’
“Let’s talk first. “I don’t know if the knights will understand.”
“Just in case, it would be better to summon a golem as well. “The knights might go on a rampage because they feel bad.”
“Then how about secretly spraying some poison? “There are several wizards who can use paralysis-type poison.”
“…I’ll just go.”
Lee Han gave up and said.
If I left it to the wizards gathered here, there would be a fight that never happened.

Giselle said while looking at Batrek, a dwarf student in the same tower.
“What kind of crazy person let the employee go right away?”
“Well… well.”
“…look straight into my eyes. Bark. Look straight into my eyes. Why are you staring? “Aren’t you going to raise your head?”
“Mo…Moradi. Don’t do this. You are misunderstanding now. “I don’t know anything.”
Giselle had already half-hardened her feelings based on her friend’s reaction.
You tried to escape with these crazy people!
‘Do I really have to throw it away next time?’
Even stupid things could be understood if I tried my best.
But does it make sense to force him to take him because he was stupid and didn’t want to take him because ‘but he’s a fellow top colleague’?
The White Tiger Tower students believed that the chances of escaping would increase if several people went together, but in Giselle’s opinion, escaping alone seemed more likely.
“Well… it worked out well though. Thanks to the knights of the Beech Tree Order…”
Batrek looked at me and quietly spoke.
The White Tiger Tower students scattered to avoid their pursuers.
Not many people were lucky. Fortunately, Giselle and Bartreck were one of those cases.
While fleeing on horseback, he discovered the Beech Knights’ campsite.
Naturally, the Beech Knights welcomed and accepted students from this knight family…
…and the two students were wondering how to get out of the campground.
“Since we’ve just met, can I borrow some silver coins?”
Batrek made a statement with such pride that it was hard to believe he came from a family of knights.
It was because the environment of Einrogard changed Batrek.
Fortunately, Giselle was still sane. Giselle tapped her fingers on the desk and looked at Bartrek with contempt.
“I will borrow silver coins in the name of my family from a knight from a family I am not familiar with… It is a very good method.”
“Is that so too?”
“……”
Giselle was frustrated. And as someone from a family of knights, swear words, which she rarely spoke of, came out of Giselle’s mouth.
Bartrek was perplexed.
“Well, is it that much?”
“why? “Why don’t you just say you’re going to sell your family name?”
“It’s not that different from that…”
Before Batrek could upset himself any further, the tent was opened and a knight from the Beech Knights came in.
“How is everyone doing?”
“yes.”
“Thank you for your grace.”
“What are you saying? “I just did what I had to do.”
Giselle thought to herself as they talked.
Now that I was out of school, it made sense to go to the village and buy the things I needed. I couldn’t stay stuck here.
The question is, what kind of excuse do you use?
If you say you want to go to the village, the knights here will chase you, offering to escort you, and the moment they chase you, they are so conspicuous that there is a high chance of getting caught.
However, if you tell the truth, the knights will react like ‘No matter what, how can you escape?’
“really. “There are friends outside.”
“Friends?”
The two were surprised.
Because some time had passed since we dispersed, I didn’t think there would be any friends who would come here later.
“Who is it?”
“I know. Maybe it’s Dergyu? If it were Dergyu, in that situation…”

The two walked out of the tent and froze at the same time when they saw Lee Han and Angago.
“……”
“……”
Why is that kid over there?
* * *
-You want to investigate here? Why should I?
-Actually, I am Lee Han from the Wardanaz family.
-…!!! Come on in! Everyone come out and see!
-Thank you for your welcome, but there is no need to shout like that…
-Everyone gather together!! set!! Oh. Look at my mind. The trumpet was here.
-……
The welcome from the Beech Knights was honestly not surprising.
I thought they would naturally welcome me, as they made quite a fuss the last time I met them.
What surprised Lee Han was the fact that Giselle and Batrek were at the camp.
“No way…Moradi. “Did you know in advance that there was a camp here and throw away her friends?”
“…?!”
Batrek, who was next to him, was surprised.
‘Was that something like that?!’
“Why do you do such a meaningless thing? “It would be more difficult to set the time.”
“ah. “I see.”
“……”
Vatrek glared at Wardanaz.
This bastard keeps causing strife among White Tiger Tower friends…
“Then why are you showing your face here? “Why are you taking Angago with you?”
“ah. “It’s a bit of a long story.”
Giselle chuckled at Lee Han’s words.
I wondered how long it would be at best.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s long, so tell me if you can.”
“okay. Wardanaz. “Stop making weird excuses!”
Lee Han shrugged his shoulders and explained what had happened as simply as possible.
…and it was really longer than I thought.
“I… I see.”
“……”
The two had no choice but to admit it.
Somehow, there were wizards and adventurers walking around behind me and I thought, ‘What is this?’ I thought…
“for a moment. Wodanaz.”
Giselle asked, furrowing her brows.
“You must have secretly gone outside right now. “Is it okay to make things bigger like this?”
“Moradi. “I don’t know about anything else about Wardanaz, but he is a thorough newbie in this area… no, he is a thorough guy.”
“hmm. “I’m worried right now too.”
“……”
Vatrek glared at Wardanaz again.
This bastard is real!
“But we can’t just leave the wizards over there fighting. really. Are the knights here really visiting Einrogard?”
“that’s right. It looks like they somehow managed to ask for permission. “Good.”
Giselle spoke with sincerity.
As I said last time, the Beech Knights are an order of knights that have other strengths although they lack a little in military power.
Considering the names of the participating families, establishing friendships made it easier to intervene in the empire’s agenda or act politically in the future when there was a necessary interest.
Moreover, looking at what happened last time, Lee Han was not just a participant in the meeting, but the main guest of the meeting that day.
Lee Han’s face was distorted with sadness and pain. Without knowing her true feelings, Giselle spoke again.
“No matter how great a wizard you are, it is not often that you are invited to a knight’s family gathering, so I think this is a good opportunity and I am grateful…”
Lee Han was furious at Giselle’s provocation, which was scratching his insides.
Even if I tried to just ignore it, I couldn’t stand it.
“Knight.”
“yes? “What’s going on?”
“Can my friends here also join the meeting?”
“Mmm! that…”
The knight hesitated.
Of course, the other students were not lacking in qualifications.
The other students here are all from White Tiger Tower. They were from a famous knightly family.
However, that did not mean that anyone could participate in the Knights’ meeting.
If only families could participate, children would also be participating.
Lee Han is said to have been invited as a guest to express his gratitude for what happened last time, but the others are still at the level of knights-in-training, if one were to be specific.
If you take him to a meeting of knights for no reason, you could end up feeling uncomfortable.
Lee Han read the other person’s hesitation, but he did not back down easily.
‘I will never go alone.’
Lee Han opened his mouth again with the determination to drag away the white tiger towers here like water ghosts.
“Because I come from a family of wizards, I don’t have the confidence to attend a knights’ meeting alone. “I think it would ease my tension if my close friends went with me…”
“???”
Anrago tilted his head.
I didn’t know who my close friend was, but it wasn’t me.
Batrek also tilted his head.
Likewise, he wasn’t himself.
They both turned their heads and looked at Giselle. Giselle spat out in a voice full of murder.
“Turn it around before I goug out your eyes.”
“Oh, no.”
“Well, I was just wondering… It was Wodanaz’s nonsense.”
The driver pounded his chest and shouted at Lee Han’s request.
“…great! If you invite someone who is indebted to you and you can’t even accommodate them, your name as a knight is just ridiculous! “I will speak strongly!”
“thank you. Sobbing.”
Lee Han pretended to be weak and expressed his gratitude. While the driver was coaxing me not to worry, a thought occurred to me.
‘for a moment. I heard that the boy from the Wardanaz family is as good at swordsmanship as a knight…?’
what?
After the knight left in confusion, Lee Han looked at his White Tiger Tower friends and said,
“Congratulations. “You guys are going together too.”
“Woah, Wardanaz…”
“thanks.”
“…What are you thinking? “Why are you doing this?”
Lee Han paused at the reaction of the three.
It was different from the reaction I expected.
‘what? ‘Is this a bluff?’
“Thank you?”
“uh? uh. That’s right…”
“I have to go out in the middle of the semester, not even be able to get anything useful, and only have to talk nonsense with the knights before coming back? “You’re going to be behind on your assignments and studying, right?”
“…It’s not useless, you bastard!”
“What do you think of a knight’s family gathering?”
The White Tiger Tower students were upset, but Lee Han ignored them.
“Even if you pretend not to do it now, your true feelings will be revealed later when it’s time to go. okay. Keep acting like you’re in a good mood. “I understand that much.”
“……”
When Lee Han turned and walked away, the White Tiger Tower students were very confused.
“Why on earth are you taking that bastard with us?”
“Aren’t you doing that because you’re embarrassed?”
“Moradi. what do you think about it?”
But Giselle couldn’t answer.
This time, Giselle was so confused that she couldn’t understand it.
Why on earth did you even invite them?
* * *
It was the wizards who called Lee Han, who returned after resolutely punishing his evil White Tiger Tower friends.
“Wardanaz. It pays off! “I have found the source of magical power!”
“oh…! “It worked!”
Lee Han felt like the sound of gold coins jingling was ringing in his ears.
“Do you see the spring here? “It is clear that an overlapping phenomenon has occurred below this spring.”
“indeed.”
A collision occurred around the spring, causing magical energy to flow explosively into the surrounding area, and the magical energy circulated through the forest, creating a strange phenomenon.
“Then what should we do with this spring?”
In response to Lee Han’s question, the wizards smiled as if telling them to wait a moment and started calculating.
And then his face hardened.
“uh…”
“Why are you doing that?”
“When I calculated it, the collision was very severe. It looks like creatures from another dimension will soon emerge from the spring.”
“okay.”
Lee Han wasn’t really surprised.
Since it was near Einrogard anyway, it was easy to handle it by telling the professors.
“How much is left?”
“30…”
“It’s not that difficult in 30 days…”
“…I think there are about a minute left… Let me count again…”
Lee Han’s face also froze like a wizard.
