Episode 428
“Is there anything to be gained by doing that?”
“What are you talking about? Priest Nigisor. Of course there are a lot. Where did the stew from dinner earlier come from? “Can you make something like that with the black bread and cold rice balls that Einrogard gave you?”
The priests who had enjoyed the meal had nothing to say, even though they had ten mouths.
No matter how frugal and simple the priests are, if they continue to eat hot and fatty meals, they will get used to it.
The priests who at first said, ‘You can’t do this,’ ‘We don’t eat like this,’ or ‘If you say that, I’ll just eat a little bit of this bread,’ naturally responded, ‘I’ll eat it well,’ and ‘I’m always grateful.’
“Well, I’m sorry if it was like that. “You didn’t have to prepare it for me…”
“no. There’s no need to be sorry. “I prepared it for you because I wanted to prepare it for you.”
Even though I already made him feel sorry, Lee Han continued talking.
“But what I want to say is something else. It means that we need to take action rather than just sit still. “What are you going to do if the Blue Dragon Tower’s Gainando collapses from starvation?”
“I will share my bread with you.”
“okay. But what if there are two people? What if there are three people? “What if it’s the entire tower?”
Priest Siana, who was listening next to him, tilted his head.
“What happened to the Blue Dragon Tower that caused all the students to starve to death?”
Lee Han pretended not to hear and ignored it.
“The important thing is that it is difficult to overcome this situation with the good intentions of individual priests.”
If it was the Black Turtle Tower or the White Tiger Tower, I would have thought ‘What nonsense’ and ignored it, but the priests were so nice that I listened to them with great concentration.
Moreover, it was a topic that touched me quite a bit.
“indeed…”
“That makes sense.”
“yes? “What is the solution to this problem?”
“Uh… since it is difficult for an individual to solve the problem, if all the priests work together and share a little of what they eat with each other…”
Priest Nigisor spoke a little hesitantly, unlike his usual confident attitude.
The madness that Lee Han showed today made Priest Nigisor a little scared.
“No.”
“Oh, no?”
“Then, if the White Tiger Tower and the Black Turtle Tower are on the verge of starvation, it won’t be resolved.”
“???”
Priest Sianna, who was listening, became even more confused.
What happened that caused all three top students to starve to death…?
“then?”
“The correct answer is to rob Einrogard’s warehouse in advance and bring in supplies from outside to stock up. Then, even if a crisis like this comes, we can overcome it.”
“……”
“……”
The priests were perplexed, but Lee Han continued speaking seriously. Then a strong persuasive voice began to deceive the priests.
“It’s not like you’re robbing a warehouse and smuggling outside just to make yourself extravagant. To help your friends, you can rob warehouses and smuggle outside.”
“Indeed… after listening, I think it makes sense.”
“Even if you definitely want to help, it’s not easy to help if you don’t have anything. “Even if I try to make a potion right now, it’s difficult because of the ingredients.”
The extremist Nigisor priests and the pragmatic Shiana priests were quickly persuaded.
The Tigiling priest next to him looked at the two priests with very embarrassed eyes.
Even so…
Can I do that?
“I understand.”
“Please tell this to other priests later. You don’t necessarily do it for luxury, you do it to do good deeds. “It would be good if everyone did it in advance.”
“I will definitely tell you!”
The three wizards exchanged glances with determined eyes.
‘If the Phoenix Tower priests help, the Einrogard black market will become more prosperous.’
Since they are more advantageous than other top students when it comes to night walks, if they take an active role, supplies will become more available on the black market, prices will rise, and students will smile.
Of course, there was an ethical issue as to whether it was okay to ask priests to steal, but Lee Han decided that was okay.
‘This is self-defense. Even the gods will approve.’
In Einrogard, everything is self-defense!
* * *
Priest Nigisor lights a little fire here and there to check, and Priest Siana pours a strong acid solution to check if it is a real wall or not (even though he has already checked with the Light of Truth, he is still eager to find it, so I brought Lee Han in for no reason). I regretted it)…
As a result of continuing the search, it was the Tigiling priest who got lucky. The Tigiling priest, who was checking beyond the wall with the cursed artifact he was wearing, immediately called the three.
“Here’s the road!”
“I finally got one!”
Lee Han, who had been watching from behind for fear that Priest Nigisor and Priest Syanna might cause an accident, ran towards them with joy.
Priest Nigisor was disappointed.
“Oops… I should have started a fire there.”
“Ugh. “I couldn’t check because I was conserving the potion.”
“……”
Lee Han pretended not to hear anything and pushed against the wall.
Grumbling-
Fortunately, the wall opened without any complicated machinery, and a hidden underground staircase appeared behind it.
“Snow, darkness…”
When Lee Han tried to cast a dark vision spell, Priest Nigisor spoke as if he understood.
“Is this the magic? “It greatly increases your overall physical ability, but causes significant muscle pain after exercise…”
“ah! That’s it! “I know!”

Lee Han was taken aback by the words of Priest Nigisor and Priest Syanna.
“It’s not?”
“…no?”
“That’s a different magic… no. “Why do you two know that?”
“The White Tiger Tower people often talk about it, right?”
“……”
Lee Han thought that if he met other White Tiger Top guys in the future, he would have to grab them by the collar, calling them ungrateful, foul-mouthed bastards.
Even though Gonadaltes’ strengthening magic has a bit of a strong side effect, I gave it to the White Tiger Tower guys to do well, but they’re swearing at me behind their backs like that!
‘You ungrateful bastards. ‘I cannot forgive you.’
“It’s a physical strengthening spell, so there’s no need to cast it now, and more than anything, the muscle pain is a bit severe.”
“Well…”
“I was prepared.”
“……”
As the two priests were visibly disappointed, Lee Han and Priest Tigiling exchanged glances.
‘Are the two priests excited?’
‘…I think so.’
As if their self-justification was successful, the two priests were very excited about moving the permanent location of an object, something they had never done before in their lives.
Lee Han understood.
‘It’s definitely fun to be a bit of a thief.’
If you think about it, it was more like trying to make a living, but it would be a lie if I said I didn’t enjoy it.
The joy of finding the principal’s warehouse and stocking up on all the useful supplies.
The pleasure was doubled when I thought about resisting the evil archmage.
‘Is this why righteous bandits arose?’
With that in mind, Lee Han took a step forward.
Moist air began to rush through the green vision that pierced the darkness.
It smelled like water.
“…There is water. “Everyone be careful.”
“You don’t have to worry. “It won’t fall out.”
“no. “I’m afraid a monster will come out.”
“!!”
Priest Nigisor immediately tensed and stiffened his posture.
Lee Han calmed down my mind as I was letting my guard down because I was at school.
The Tigiling priest whispered softly.
“Is it really coming out? “It’s a lie, right?”
“No… really come out.”
“……”
I was worried that the Tigiling priest would hate night walks, but I couldn’t hide the truth.
With water of that size, there was a high possibility that monsters were hiding there.
“The lake…!”
“oh my god!”
The priests who came down the stairs sighed involuntarily.
When the stairs leading down to the basement ended, there was a vast dark blue lake spread out in the darkness.
It was so large that it was hard to guess where the other side of the lake was connected.
“Why on earth is this in the school…?”
‘Now I see it all over again.’
It was really surprising.
I didn’t know if this was outside or inside Einrogard, an external space, or an extended space, but it wasn’t surprising.
The only thing that matters is what is in this lake and where it is connected beyond.
If there was an external connection, I would be so happy that I would cry, but since Lee Han had already attended more than half of his first year, I did not have such absurd expectations.
‘It would be nice to have a warehouse where someone is hiding it.’
Priest Syanna cautiously scooped up some water from the lake, put it in a vial, and checked the water quality.
I didn’t feel any toxicity or residual magic.
“The water is fine… What are you doing!??!”
“uh?”
Seeing Lee Han splashing in, Priest Siana was frightened and let out a sharp scream.
“Going into the water…”
“Check the poison!! I need to check the poison!! What are you doing!!”
“ah. “I put my hand in and checked.”
“……”
“……”
The three priests’ eyes were colored with astonishment at the ignorant answer.
Lee Han realized that the atmosphere was strange and quickly made an excuse.
“…After hanging out with the White Tiger Tower guys, I got used to these crude techniques. “I’ll have to be more careful in the future.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
In fact, the White Tiger Tower had nothing to do with it, and Lee Han believed only in his own magic and went in thinking, ‘It’ll be okay even if it’s poisonous,’ but there were no White Tiger Tower students here.
Lee Han memorized the water breathing spell and then dipped himself into the water.
Bubbly-
“Light!”
As the sphere of light filled with magical power hung on the staff, light began to spread through the dark water of the lake.
Even with dark vision magic, there were many limitations in seeing through the dark water.
‘Wait, there are no monsters?’
Lee Han was surprised.
It’s so wide, but there are no monsters.
And I was surprised again.
‘I’m surprised there are no monsters…’
There may not be!
It seemed like he had adapted too well to Einroguard.
As soon as Ihan came out of the water, Priest Nigisor started a fire. It wasn’t cold, but I couldn’t help but feel the chill as I soaked in the water.
“You can also cast <Grant Latent Heat>.”
“no. Let’s save our horsepower. Because I don’t know what will happen. “I bet…”
“for a moment!!”
“Wait!”
“I’ll just bet!”
“……”
Lee Han grumbled and stopped moving.
This was the first time I was treated with such distrust in relation to magic.
“Since there are no monsters under the lake, I think we can build a boat and go out a little further.”
“Ship, ship…!”
“that…!”
The faces of Priest Nigisor and Priest Syana brightened.
Even if he pretended not to, there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes that couldn’t be hidden.
“Are you getting wood?”
“I saw earlier that there were reeds near the lakeshore, so I tied them together…!”
Lee Han raised the overflowing water from the lake and caught the form.
The water element was one of the most commonly used elements, so you could easily transform and fix its form even with your eyes closed.
Then, I cast the cold spell I learned from Alcicle.
“Freeze!”
The power of circle 1 cold creation magic was limited in freezing water the size of a small ferry.
In fact, only a little of the edge of the ferry boat was frozen.
However, Lee Han did not care and continued to use magic without stopping. In an instant, the cold air continued to overlap and a ferry boat made of ice began to form.
Slam-slam-
After briefly checking the intensity, Lee Han nodded.
“This should be enough. “Do you all want to ride it?”
“…I understand.”
“Hmph.”
“???”
Lee Han was embarrassed when the two priests became sullen.
“Is this because it’s an ice boat? “Even though it looks like this, it’s pretty solid, so I don’t have to worry about safety, right?”
“That’s not the problem now, but…”
