Episode 485
“You piece of trash!”
“!”
His subordinates thought that Pasher was angry at another guild, but in fact, he was angry at himself.
He was only thinking about winning in competition with other guilds, so he stayed silent while a young student was fighting for his life.
The Pasher trembled and shouted.
“let’s go!”
“yes?”
“Follow me!”
‘Why are you doing this?’
As the old fisherman exploded in anger, the people below became worried.
There was nothing good about arguing with outsiders.
They say there is a lot of friction with other guilds, but it’s unlikely that people from outside will understand that.
Even if I try to persuade you as politely and politely as possible, it won’t be enough…
“?”
Lee Han, who was coming out of the reef with Professor Boladi, was puzzled when he saw fishermen with angry faces coming from afar.
“What is it?”
“They are fishermen.”
Professor Boladi answered as if nothing had happened.
Lee Han asked with a shocked expression.
“You seem very angry… Did something happen?”
The problem was that there were too many things to point out.
As I heard from Professor Thunderstruck, the guilds around here were on edge due to friction over a long period of time, and of course they were looking at those who came from outside with mixed feelings.
Besides, aren’t Shadow Patrol hunters kind and gentle gentlemen?
‘It’s not like they stole the fishermen’s game or anything.’
Since they were so crazy about hunting, I suspected that they had secretly crossed over into the area for which they had received permission in advance and hunted other things as well.
“Maybe so.”
“What should I do?”
“Get ready.”
Professor Boladi spoke to Lee Han just as he did when he climbed onto the reef to exterminate monsters.
Lee Han didn’t understand what was being said for a moment, but realized it later.
‘No, this is crazy…!’
Did you mean to get ready to fight the fishermen now!?
“…Professor, you must not fight with fishermen! “What will the city people think?”
“You would think it was self-defense.”
“……”
That was true, but that wasn’t important right now.
We need to resolve the situation quickly and get back to work, but what if we increase unnecessary conflicts?
In situations where collisions must be avoided…
“Beware of the fishermen’s nets. “Once you get stranded, it can be dangerous.”
“Have you ever fought with fishermen?”
Lee Han asked the question lightly, without much thought, but Professor Boladi answered in the affirmative.
“Yes. “It’s especially dangerous on a ship.”
“……”
‘Isn’t this how he attacks you as soon as you make eye contact while traveling?’
While Lee Han was worrying, the fishermen arrived.
An old fisherman who looked like a leader suddenly lowered his head and shouted in a loud voice.
“As the representative of the Isran City Public Officials Guild and as a member of the Isran City Council, I would like to apologize with all my sincerity!”
“?”
“?”
Lee Han and the hunters were also puzzled.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Are they really going to stop hunting starting today? “If you do such a reckless thing, you will be cursed by the mountain range…”
“This is the sea.”
“You will be cursed by the sea!”
While the hunters were confused, Pasher continued.
“As the leader of the guild, I was unable to provide any help to those who came from outside to solve the city’s difficulties. Meanwhile, a young Einroguard student risked his life to exterminate monsters!”
“?”
Lee Han wondered what he was talking about, but realized it too late.
‘Ah, so now…’
The sight of Professor Boladi holding a stick and threatening to exterminate monsters seemed like a student stepping in due to a lack of manpower?
Of course it was a misunderstanding.
The people of the Makin family were neither stupid nor poor, but they didn’t hire people like that.
“Therefore, since he deserves to be disciplined, I ask for lenient treatment.”
The old fisherman said only what he had to say in a loud voice, bowed his head once more, and then sailed away.
The Shadow Patrol Hunters asked, not understanding.
“What does that mean, wizard?”
“So you’re going to punish yourself?”

Usually, hunters who committed sins in the northern mountains would atone through ordeals.
Holding only an arrow and going bare-handed into the depths of a snowy mountain peak to catch a designated monster…
Is that the case here too?
“It’s not like that, I’m just saying I’m going to reflect on it.”
“Shouldn’t reflection be more painful…”
Ignoring the hunters’ words, Lee Han looked away.
It was difficult to understand what he just said because it contained some political rhetoric, but I could roughly understand what he meant.
I made a mistake, I am reflecting on it, and I will unconditionally respect the wishes of Einrogard and his party in future negotiations.
From this perspective, it’s a good thing, but…
‘Did I eat something wrong? ‘Why suddenly?’
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t quite understand it.
A hunter next to me spoke.
“Wizard, didn’t you feel sorry for me when I saw you hunting alone?”
“…no…”
Lee Han couldn’t believe it.
But when I thought about it, it was a pretty plausible story.
Other than that, nothing else came to mind.
When I glanced at Professor Boladi, the professor looked at me as if asking why.
“it’s nothing.”
One of Professor Boladi’s strengths was that he had few unnecessary words.
If the skeleton principal were here, he would have turned Lee Han’s stomach upside down, saying, ‘Thank you, you were able to persuade me, thank you!’
* * *
The rumor that the Pasher and the Fishermen’s Guild had contacted Einrogard and his party from outside spread quickly.
The Adventurer’s Guild heard the rumor and felt embarrassed.
“Those stubborn guild people are already…”
“Shouldn’t we move too? “Or prepare a bribe.”
“Shh. “If you bribe the magicians of Einrogard too quickly, you could become a slug.”
In fact, the Adventurer’s Guild was the one most distant from the strife within the city.
The Fishermen’s Guild and the Alchemist’s Guild actively tried to obtain the right to collect Sangoria flowers to the extent that they each contributed, but the Adventurer’s Guild did not go to that extent.
First of all, the unity of the guild is not that high, and since they started from the perspective of employees, their perspectives are bound to be different.
The Adventurer’s Guild didn’t care who won, as long as it ensured that the adventurers could gather an appropriate amount. That much was enough.
The problem was that this type of negotiation did not work as the other two guilds were highly toxic.
The only ones who can understand are outsiders…
‘I’m afraid of the wizards of Einroguard.’
‘Couldn’t it have the opposite effect if I touch it for no reason?’
The Adventurer’s Guild feared the wizards of Einrogard much more than other guilds.
Unlike those who lived their entire lives as craftsmen in the city, adventurers who had a lot of traveling around often felt keenly how dangerous wizards were.
And it was even more so when it came to Einroguard.
“I should at least say hello first. “At least I have to leave a good impression.”
The head of the Adventurer’s Guild moved to the port with his office workers.
At that moment, I saw wizards and hunters returning from hunting.
“Hello, how are you?”
I was so nervous that my voice cracked.
Lee Han looked at the guild members’ clothes and patterns and quickly figured out where they came from.
‘Did you come from the Adventurer’s Guild too?’
Since the Adventurer’s Guild was also involved in this conflict, there was no harm in gaining their favor in order to resolve it.
Lee Han smiled brightly and greeted.
“hello! nice to meet you Are you people who are devoted to traveling through the most remote and dark valleys of the empire?”
“!”
The Shadow Patrol hunters grumbled to themselves.
No matter how idiomatic the expression, isn’t it too harsh?
What kind of adventurers travel through the most remote and dark valleys of the empire?
They don’t come to the northern mountains often…
“you’re right!”
The faces of the Adventurer’s Guild people who heard the praise brightened and their tension eased slightly.
“Like wizards from Einrogard, their eyes are full of wisdom.”
‘It feels like living.’
Lee Han looked at Professor Boladi and himself once. There was still some blood on his coat.
“I wonder which family you belong to…”
“ah. “I am from the Wardanaz family…”
“omg!”
I heard someone taking a deep breath.
Although he tried to control his facial expressions as best as he could, Lee Han could feel the fear passing through the eyes and expressions of the guild members.
“……”
For a while, I met people from great families or people who didn’t care about the Wodanaz family, so I forgot about it, but the name of the Wodanaz family was more intimidating than I thought.
‘Did I make a mistake? Should I have left it to Yoner or others?’
I need to become a friendly and kind wizard and persuade the guild, but you start by scaring me.
If Professor Thunderstruck found out about this, he might shed tears of sorrow.
‘But it’s not my fault.’
No matter how much I thought about it, it was not the Wodanaz family’s karma or Lee Han’s karma.
“…I am Ihan from the Wardanaz family.”
Lee Han finished speaking.
Then one of the clerks asked in a surprised voice.
“Did you defeat the king of ghouls with adventurers in Grandeur City last time?”
“…It’s a slightly different story, but it’s similar.”
“I heard that you helped investigate an incident in the Black Rock Forest…”
“That is also true.”
“Are you still a student!?”
The clerk was genuinely surprised.
Although it was a long distance away, interesting things tend to spread through rumors.
When I heard rumors about a wizard named Lee Han from the Wardanaz family helping adventurers and solving their quests, that he was still young, and that he took good care of adventurers even though he was a wizard, I naturally thought it was a lie.
But looking at it this way, the rumor seemed surprisingly plausible.
“yes.”
“You’re a student at Einrogard… why are you working with adventurers…?”
“……”
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
‘It’s because of money, why…’
You probably won’t ask adventurers, ‘Why are you solving the quest?’
Still, it was difficult to say to his face that he was trying to make money, so Lee Han answered as best he could.
“I thought it was something I had to do.”
“and…!”
“does not make sense…!”
The people in the Adventurer’s Guild were too shocked to even whisper.
Still, it was a different surprise than when I heard the name of the Wardanaz family earlier.
Lee Han breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the eyes of the guild members soften and their fear disappear.
‘At least it won’t get in the way when we’re talking.’
“Ihan of the Wardanaz family. “I have something to say about this matter.”
“I will listen.”
“Oh, I wasn’t in a hurry so I couldn’t even ask about this professor. sorry. Can you hear my name?”
The people of the Adventurer’s Guild looked at Professor Boladi and asked.
Professor Boladi answered calmly.
“Boladi of the Baggrek family.”
“Heeeeeeeek!!”
A groan filled with more fear than when I heard the name of the Wardanaz family earlier came out.
“……”
Lee Han glared at Professor Boladi with resentful eyes.
What on earth were you doing…
* * *
The thunderous professor, who had returned to the mansion first, looked at Lee Han and tilted his head.
“Did something happen?”
Although he originally had a tired face, he looked several times more tired than usual.
“that is…”
Lee Han wondered where to start explaining.
Then the thunderous professor asked with a curious look on his face.
“Professor Bagrek didn’t ask you to go catch Mr. Serpent by any chance?”
“yes? Are there any Sea Serpents around here?”
“I found traces earlier.”
“…Please keep it a secret.”
Lee Han spoke with sincerity.
