Episode 464
“Wardanaz is from a great noble family, so he is a bit different in this regard.”
Salko said bluntly.
Siren was surprised to hear those words and looked at Lee Han.
Do people from a great noble family in the empire usually grab a siren by the back of her neck and drag her up the stairs?
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
In response to Lee Han’s question, Siren slightly averted her gaze and began writing again.
I heard that this swamp was originally a lake with clear water.
It was one of the resting places for the sirens wandering around the underground waterways of Einrogard, but this time, it was turned into a swamp due to the spirit flood.
It was unfair, but Mac, who was supposed to be deep inside the library, suddenly got angry and crawled out and started destroying all over the place.
It was a bonus to mark the territory in the swamp that was originally Siren’s lake.
“……”
“……”
The Black Turtle Tower students looked at Lee Han with lukewarm eyes.
That look contained the meaning, ‘Aren’t you angry because we destroyed the library furniture to build a fortress and occupied it?’
Lee Han answered firmly.
“He must be angry because of the spirit flood.”
“……”
‘Wouldn’t the flood have any effect deep inside the library?’
While the students were confused, Lee Han immediately continued with what he had to say.
“I didn’t save you to show off, but you won’t forget your grace today, right? “I heard that the honorable descendants of the original spirits are sure to receive blessings.”
‘I’m so embarrassed.’
Salko suddenly felt his face getting hot.
Salko, who came from the masonry guild and learned that ‘you can’t eat face,’ also realized that when he saw Lee Han, he still had a long way to go.
The next time I take on an architectural commission, I plan to write down what I learned from Lee Han.
“let’s go. Salchow. “I need to check how far its territory is.”
As long as the skeleton principal was suspicious, he couldn’t leave it like this.
Lee Han planned to follow until the end and see how far Mac’s territory was.
“But Wardanaz… if Mac is upset about the fort, that’s a different story. Besides… I don’t think Mac would have the ability to secretly kidnap a student. Especially when you’re angry like that.”
Although his head was full of worries, Salchow was also thinking about something similar to Giselle.
Mac was far from a quiet and secret kidnapping.
“I can’t help it. Salchow. In fact, I suspect that Mac may have been instigated by someone.”
“Who, whose?”
“It’s the principal. But it’s not certain…”
“I knew that!”
Salko shouted with burning eyes. Lee Han was slightly embarrassed.
“Oh, no. “This is only a possibility and there is no confirmation, so I’m going to follow Mac to the end and check it out…”
“Wardanaz. Do you know dwarf intuition?”
‘You’re an elf…’
“That intuition is telling me. The principal is the culprit. That little guy is the only one. “If I’m going to take you with me, I’ll take the White Tiger Tower guys with me!”
“…Anyway, I guess you agree that we should chase after him and check it out?”
“okay. sorry. “For taking up time.”
-♪♩♩♩…
“Show your true colors again!”
Lee Han shouted and spun his body around. And he aimed his staff.
Then the Siren slapped the ground with her hand with a very angry look in her eyes.
Crack, clap, clap!
I had been singing in writing earlier, but the students were ignoring me because they were talking among themselves.
“ah. sorry.”
The Siren glared at Lee Han with harsh eyes that had lost their gratitude until just now.
The look in his eyes made him want to sing several songs of anger in a row.
* * *
Siren’s proposal was simple.
He said he would help track Mac.
The swampy area, where the topography has recently changed, has many places where you will go down steeply if you take a wrong step, and the paths are complicated, so even if you follow the traces, there is a high possibility of missing it.
“Indeed… wait. You wouldn’t think of returning the favor with this, would you? “I’m asking because I don’t know.”
“Wardanaz… can’t we just say that later…”
“Salko. what are you talking about. “In the first place, important things should be said in advance.”
Siren shook her head and dragged an old ferry boat and put the students on it.
And then he started swimming, pushing the ferry. The ferryboat picked up speed in an instant and quickly crossed the swamp.
‘The Sirens had this ability.’
Lee Han was inwardly impressed.
I thought he only sang well, but it served as a reliable vehicle when breaking through underwater areas like this.
Meanwhile, Sharkan skilfully jumped onto the dry ground and ran ahead. Finding Mac’s traces first and not slowing down was not something any summon could do.
The Siren looked at Sharkan with renewed surprise.
I couldn’t believe that a young student could do that.
It’s not surprising if you experience magical exhaustion right away…
-Crrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Sharkan, who was running so well, suddenly stopped moving and showed his guard by showing his claws.
“…!”
The students opened their eyes wide.
The small island located in front of the swamp was covered with a black, billowing curtain, as if it were some kind of curtain.
-♪♩♩!!
When the siren sang a short song, Lee Han immediately looked away. Siren urgently stopped singing and wrote.
It was really bad writing, like Gainando, but Lee Han caught it with a frown.
“…ah. “Mac’s abilities are being activated?”
Siren hastily nodded.
Mac treasured nightmares so much that he used them as a staple food, but sometimes, when he really needed it, he would spit out the nightmares he had swallowed and threaten others.
The pitch-black curtain spread over the island was a sign of that.
Mac’s veil of nightmare!
“Nonsense. “Why would Mac do something like that?”
-……
-…?
Siren and Sharkan looked at Lee Han at the same time.
Although they were of different races, their eyes said, ‘Because you followed me…’
Lee Han responded firmly.
“It’s strange that a guy who does that just because a first-year student is chasing him. And I didn’t pursue you with bad intentions in the first place. “I came here to check what happened.”
Siren tried as hard as she could to write, ‘That’s not important right now, why don’t you tell Mac directly?’, but Mac’s reaction was one step faster.
The curtain began to expand.
“Light, reveal the truth! Parkmu, spread!”
Lee Han quickly cast <Grant Light of Truth> and <Ogonin’s Dark Dance>.
The former is for countering the spreading nightmare.
The latter is for the purpose of stopping the spreading nightmare.
But Mac’s Nightmare Veil was more powerful than expected. He surged forward like a wave of water, swallowing up the light and fog and hitting the students.
“omg!”
“Ugh…!”
There were groans among the students.
I had fallen into the nightmare that Mac had collected and spewed out.
“…uh.”
Lee Han was slightly embarrassed.
It wasn’t because of the nightmares, it was because the nightmares were so ineffective.
I knew that the resistance was strong due to magic, but I thought I would see a brief illusion…
I felt a little embarrassed because I couldn’t see anything and just saw the nightmare curtain pass by.
‘This is not the time.’
Mac had to be stopped as quickly as possible.
Even though it didn’t look that dangerous on the outside from this illusion attack, the damage accumulating inside was significant.
The longer he was held, the more dangerous it was.
‘To access it, you must awaken the Siren. Can I wake you up? Will he wake up if I give him a strong shock?’
Lee Han looked at the Siren, wondering what kind of magic to use.
However, Siren was watching Lee Han with blank eyes.
“……”
-……
When I thought about it, Sirens were powerful spirits that possessed other beings through song, so it was natural that they had strong resistance to these nightmares.
Lee Han slowly lowered his cane.
Siren looked at Lee Han suspiciously.
“hurry! Guide me to where the pulse is! “We have to save our friends!”
At Lee Han’s shout, the Siren nodded hurriedly and started pushing the boat again.
Despite the nightmare, Mac cried out as he was breached inside.
■■■■■…
“What does he say?”
Siren hastily wrote on the boat.
Why are you torturing me?
“…It’s ridiculous that he would bully good people first and then say something like that! But let us good people give in. “Tell them that if they stop the nightmare immediately and stop the attack, the students will leave the library as soon as the flood is over!”
-???
Siren wanted to ask what it meant for students to leave the library, but she didn’t have time.
First of all, Siren said it as it was.
-♩♩♩♪…
“dare!”
When Lee Han heard the song, he reacted instinctively.
And then I realized it had no effect because all my friends were in nightmares.
“ah. sorry. “Keep calling.”
-……
The Siren’s fingers holding on to the ferryboat gained strength.
■■■■…
Siren worked hard to translate.
Mac was asking, ‘Is that really true?’
“I swear on my family’s name.”
Siren was greatly surprised by Lee Han’s sincerity.
I never thought I would even put my family name on it.
Isn’t it a bit excessive?
“Tell him I need to check on him instead. “I may have been instigated by the principal.”
Are you talking about a distant dog…
“…Anyway, tell them to confirm! If you want to avoid fighting with each other!”
* * *
The students who were released from the nightmare approached Mac’s nest with careful movements.
Surprisingly, there was no trace of the skeletal principal.
Death knights and other traces of magic, all of that.
Salko whispered with a serious expression.
“Maybe it’s camouflage?”
Mac looked down at Salchow with contempt in his eyes.
Lee Han spoke with a nervous expression.
“A student suddenly disappeared and we are looking for you. Do you know anything?”
■■■■■.
The Siren translated hesitantly.
“…During this time, professors often take students away for precognition magic exams? What a ridiculous slander… Professor Kraer, who is not even the principal, would do such a thing…!”
Lee Han, who was speaking, hesitated.
When I thought about it, there was no particular law preventing Professor Kraer from doing such a thing.
‘What do I know about Professor Craer?’
The only rule to follow for professors was ‘don’t underestimate.’
■■■■■■■…
I heard you used to do it yourself while helping prepare for the Hansang magic test?
“…Let’s just accept that opinion for now. I’ll check.”
Lee Han immediately took out paper and a quill.
“Tell me the details of the situation. When and where did you help prepare for the Illusion Magic exam? Did you help this year too? And if it was for the precognition magic test, where did they keep the students? “Tell me.”
Mac hesitated.
The professor didn’t forbid it, but he was wondering if it was okay to say something like this.
Lee Han urged strongly.
“Uh-huh! Do you want to see students continue to live in the library?”
Tears welled up in Mac’s eyes.
In the end, Mac gave up and revealed the information he knew.
■■■…
The expression of the siren who was interpreting next to me became increasingly subtle.
It was clear that Mac was a bad guy who had arbitrarily invaded their territory and caused trouble, but strangely, he was starting to feel like a villain more and more.
If you look at it objectively, it would be a good result for Mac to return to his territory and for the Sirens to regain their territory, but why…
The wizard boy’s sculptural face shining through the flickering lights seemed to shine even more evilly.
‘…It’s probably because of my mood!’
Meg
Dignity
It’s on fire!
