Episode 490
“yes…?”
The mercenaries felt the greatest embarrassment they had felt today.
Participating in the subjugation itself was not a problem.
The port will be crowded as not only the city guard and adventurers, but also nearby guilds will participate as vigilantes.
It wasn’t noticeable that there were a few suspicious gang members there.
but…
‘Are you really trying to approach the wizards of Einroguard again?’
‘If you accidentally touch a beehive…’
There was no way a wizard like Ianop would participate in the subjugation for the city with pure good intentions.
Of course, his intention to approach the wizards of Einroguard was clear.
Chi-ik!
Along with an eerie sound like burning flesh, lines with strange patterns appeared on the necks of the mercenaries present.
The mercenaries groaned as they suddenly felt strangled.
“Damn… wizard…”
“Wizard, please save me! Well, we have been loyal!”
“That’s right. “Of course I trust you guys, too.”
Ianop swung his staff and hung a rope around the mercenaries’ necks.
Now we had to pay proper attention as we didn’t know where the mercenaries would fly.
“Wow… I’m sorry for not knowing about the great black magic… Please help me!”
“……”
Ianop was momentarily annoyed by the mercenaries who recognized this beautiful enchantment as black magic, but he held back.
Because now was the time to focus solely on the gemstone from Einrogard.

“Don’t you think this quill is good, Wardanaz?”
“Hmm… But it seems a bit expensive.”
“Well, you’re still pretty. “Aren’t you tired of getting goose feathers from Einrogard to make quills?”
“I need to ask for a discount.”
“…really? really?”
Asan whispered with a shocked face. But Lee Han was serious.
“hello. “I saw it at the store next door…”
“……”
Asan respected Lee Han more now than when he defeated the king of the frost giants or when he showed his abilities in front of the brothers and sisters of the Dalkad family.
However, the students’ fun viewing of the market ended there.
The Shadow Patrol hunters have come again.
Lee Han looked at that and sighed.
There was only one reason for them to come back now.
“Mr. Serpent is definitely approaching.”
“All right.”
Lee Han really didn’t want to go, but he prepared to go and talk to Professor Boladi.
Since this happened, the entire city had to prepare.
“…sorry.”
Nilia apologized with a very sorry face.
It was a rare sight normally.
“It’s not your fault, it’s just Mr. Serpent’s fault… kids! Everyone gather together! It’s time to stop playing and go to the mansion! If you have something to buy, buy it quickly!”
Lee Han shouted like that and asked the quill shop merchant.
“Is there any discount if you catch a Sea Serpent approaching the port?”
“……”
“……”
Nilia was slightly worried about just going first.
Meanwhile, the friends gathered together, each carrying a bundle between their arms.
Yoner with a new small bronze cauldron (it was much thicker than the one used in Einroguard, so even harsh ingredients could fit in it), Ratford was happy that he had bought some bloody lockpick equipment at a cheap price, and he bought a fracture healing ointment that was effective. Bartrek grumbles that he doesn’t know what’s going on…
Aden Arth was slightly embarrassed.
Everyone bought something.
Lee Han noticed this and kindly told me.
“You don’t have to buy it. Princess. “I didn’t even buy Nilia here.”
“…!”
Nilia glanced at me and stuffed the book <Wasteland Stargazers, They Are the Sentinels of the Empire!>, which she had purchased to read earlier, deep into her bosom.
“Right, right. It’s even more unsophisticated to come all this way and buy something. is not it?”
“It’s not out of place… Let’s go once everyone is together.”
As I returned to the mansion, I saw Professor Boladi also coming back from the other side.
Lee Han greeted and asked.
“Professor, where have you been?”
“To find something useful.”
Professor Boladi answered calmly.
The professor answered briefly, but the listener had to use his infinite imagination.
‘What are you talking about that is useful? Are you really looking for a new opponent for me to face in the second semester? ‘You probably kidnapped a criminal from a back alley, right?’
It was all the more frightening because it was entirely possible for Professor Boladi.

For some reason, it seems like there’s some blood on Professor Boladi’s coat…
“really. professor. “I have something to tell you.”
“what?”
“They say… Mr. Serpent is coming.”
Lee Han explained the information asked by the Shadow Patrol hunters as delicately as possible.
To avoid any misunderstanding from Professor Boladi, like, ‘Did you intentionally not tell me?’
“Mr. Serpent?”
“yes.”
Professor Boladi’s facial muscles, which had been as hard as granite, relaxed ever so slightly.
Lee Han realized that Professor Boladi was happy now.
“…Oh, no. professor. “I’m not asking you to go catch Mr. Serpent together, but this is a procedural matter…”
When a large monster comes to the port, wouldn’t it be the procedure to first notify the people in the port and also inform those in the city who can participate?
Of course, the procedure was to tell Professor Boladi as well.
However, if you interpret that as ‘You seem like an amazing student to come and ask me to go catch Mr. Serpent,’ Lee Han would be very troubled.
“I guess so.”
‘I don’t think you understand, this guy.’
“Mr. Serpent is finally approaching?”
After hearing the news, the thunderous professor walked out with a frown.
“You’re going to have a hard time at night.”
“professor. “Here’s your wallet.”
“oh. thanks.”
When Professor Lee Han returned his wallet, he accepted it without thinking much.
The wallet was empty.
“……”
Such a frugal bastard!
“I finished all the work, but the monster didn’t notice.”
“That’s right.”
People from the Makin family also clicked their tongues.
If I had come out before the negotiations were resolved, I would have done something with this, but since the negotiations were completed neatly, hunting down Mr. Serpent was more like annoying overtime work.
“Let’s think positively. Since Mr. Serpent always comes up with useful things… I think the professors will have to work hard.”
The professors nodded at the words of the thunderous professor.
Since a large monster like the Sea Serpent had appeared, it was only natural that, as a professor, he would have to be at the forefront.
“You guys wait in the rear. Nothing dangerous will happen, but don’t relax. “I never know when I might need your help.”
The students were first-year students within Einrogard, but outside of it, they were wizards who were carrying on the empire’s legacy.
Considering the jagged and unstable skills of wizards commonly seen outside, the students of Einrogard were treated well.
“yes!”
The students stood up with stern faces.
Although I had experienced all kinds of hardships in Einrogard, experiencing something like this outside felt different.
Lee Han tried to move with his friends.
Then the thunderous professor looked at Lee Han as if asking what he was doing.
“Where are you going?”
“yes? “Please wait at the rear…”
“iced coffee!”
The thunderous professor burst into laughter as if he had forgotten.
“Of course not you!”
Professor Lightning Walk also burst into laughter.
“Why are you going to the rear!”
“……”
The Makin family members did not understand and were embarrassed by the dwarf professors’ laughter.
Lee Han didn’t find it very funny either.
‘Dwarves are annoying.’
* * *
“Light!”
Lee Han waved his cane.
A blazing sphere of light emerged.
Although the professors laughed loudly, it wasn’t completely without reason.
In a situation where we had to urgently prepare for such a large monster, there was no way to back off a nearly infinite magic source like Lee Han.
The first thing Lee Han started was preparing the light source.
The sun had already set far beyond the horizon, and darkness was creeping into the port.
If a melee took place in a dark situation, it would be advantageous for the monsters, so of course we had to prepare light.
As the wizards came, the people in the city also expected, ‘Wouldn’t magic solve the problem somehow?’…
This…
“…What is this?”
“Have I mistaken the time?”
The city guard soldiers who rushed over were astonished by the splendid sight of the port.
I wanted there to be a light, but isn’t it too bright?
Even though…
Is it okay to do this??
“Won, does magic actually work like this?”
“Because they are the wizards of Einrogard…”
However, there was no confidence in the voice of the soldier who said, ‘Isn’t it possible because they are Einroguard wizards?’
To be honest, I was still dazed.
“Light, light, light, light, light…”
Lee Han circled the port without stopping and sent all the spheres of light flying.
The adventurers who were waiting with bows were dumbfounded and started whispering.
“Student… Aren’t you a student?”
“Even if Einroguard is a student, can he use that much magic? No, the wizard who participated in the party last time made a light the size of a lantern and complained bitterly…”
Lee Han went round and round, unaware that he was leaving a very strong impression on the people of the port.
There was a lot of magical power, but because the port was so large, it was difficult to install the spheres of light one by one.
‘They say that if you have a bad head, your body will suffer.’
Lee Han sighed inwardly.
I felt like I knew why the skeleton principal was so scathing about people learning magic.
If I had known how to use more advanced magic, I would have filled the entire area with light with a snap of my fingers!
“I’m done.”
“Good job.”
“Then I will cast an enchantment on the equipment.”
“…Yeah, yeah.”
The thunderous professor was embarrassed when he tried to say, ‘Take a break.’
Lee Han didn’t notice the professor’s intentions and immediately set off to do his next job.
I heard they were Shadow Patrol hunters earlier, but there were a lot of them in the port now with unenchanted bows and crossbows.
If you think about the ballista installed there or something like that…
“Uh, shouldn’t I get some rest?”
People from the Makin family spoke hesitantly.
I was careful to talk about educational policy in the presence of a professor at Einrogard because it could seem quite rude, but this time it wasn’t easy to hold back.
The thunderous professor glanced at the outsiders and made an excuse.
“For Wardanaz, this is just like taking a walk.”
“…yes?”
The Makin family were bewildered as they looked at the orbs of light floating around the port.
What kind of bullshit is that…
However, the thunderous professor was proud and shameless. Once he was pushed, he was going to keep the lie until the end.
“Rather, asking him to rest hurts Wardanaz’s pride. “Please don’t ever mention it.”
“aha…”
“indeed.”
If Lee Han had heard, he would have kicked Professor Thunderstruck from behind and thrown him into the sea, but Lee Han was busy enchanting the equipment of the guards.
The people of the Makin family were once again amazed by what they had just heard.
It was to the point where I felt like he wasn’t from the Wardanaz family.
‘Well, I guess Yoanen liked me because I have that kind of personality.’
The Makin family respected Ioanen for his outstanding abilities, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t notice his shortcomings.
Objectively speaking, Ioanen was a crazy workaholic.
Hearing someone like that say, ‘I really liked you and want to invite you to the workshop when you graduate’ was a dangerous signal, not only in terms of ability, but in terms of personality.
There is a possibility that the other person is also a little crazy about work…
