Episode 558
“……”
Hodlong silently wiped the coffee from his face with a handkerchief.
Iunrade, who spit out the coffee he was drinking in his superior’s face, had nothing to say even though he had ten mouths.
“sorry! sorry!!”
“done. it’s okay.”
Hodlong, who had finished wiping off the coffee, spoke with eyes full of suspicion.
“Did Lord Gonadaltes order you to do this?”
“…no!!”
Iunrade, who suddenly got the misunderstanding that he was going to be strangled by the skeleton principal, was shocked and denied it.
“Why would you do such a thing!?”
“There are many reasons. Make a mess by throwing coffee on it and then steal my bag. Or maybe they attacked you while you were away for a moment.”
Hodlong was a man with a deep-rooted distrust of the wizards of Einrogard.
In fact, not only Hodlong but most of the imperial officials did not really trust Einrogard’s wizards.
In the past, there were several people who visited Einrogard and got caught up in unfortunate magical accidents.
Prince Gonadaltes cried and complained that it was truly a coincidence, but the officials did not believe him.
“Or maybe it’s emotional revenge.”
“no! “It’s not really!”
“i get it. Let me believe you first. But stay away.”
Hodlong gestured with his subordinate, blatantly suspicious. Iun Rade stepped back, expressing her chagrin with her whole body.
“ruler. “Then let’s go.”
“yes? Where do you mean?”
“I guess you just heard that? “I told you that Einrogard student caught a wanted criminal.”
“uh.”
Only then did Iunrade remember why he had spit out coffee.
It was because I heard something so absurd.
‘You’re in big trouble!’
People in the city shouted, ‘A student from Einrogard has caught a wanted criminal!’, but Iunrade was not fooled.
Wasn’t Iunrade also from Einrogard in the first place?
It was clear that people were probably mistaken.
At first, the cry was, ‘Ainrogard student is a wanted criminal!’, but as it spread from side to side, ‘What? It was changed to ‘A student at Einrogard caught a wanted criminal?’
“Hey, Hodlong. Maybe it’s just a rumor? The city is full of nonsense. “Don’t waste your time on this!”
As Iunrade tried to stop his superior, he internally lamented why he had to do this.
Actually, there is no problem if the juniors take care of it well!
“Are you saying that now? Follow me. “I’ll have to see what happened.”
“Oh, no… there are a lot of people and there might be pickpockets…”
Hodlong seemed to be even more convinced by Iunrade’s hesitation.
What is the Einrogard student doing? I will see it with my own eyes and stop you!

“Take off this skin, salt it, hang it on a pole on the mountain peak, and have your flesh torn by crows, you son of a bitch, worse than a broken and rusty sword!”
“Even in this punishment cell, you son of a bitch will be locked up in the deepest basement, rotting forever, turning to stone and not even being able to blink, and Professor Verdus will be in the front cell!”
Gardam, who was captured, was crying and wringing his hands. No matter how he crawled on the floor, he was struggling to escape.
Although he went through many hardships and survived the fierce Inkatan rebellion, all of those experiences were useless in the face of the fearful being that is the true wizard.
The two wizards cursed and dragged the fallen Gardam.
“If you try to escape one more time, I’ll make a few more vents.”
“What would have happened if you had just surrendered is being escalated like this. Are you still human? “Do you know how many students are suffering because of you?”
‘I don’t know, you bastards!’
Gardam let out a silent cry to the wizards who were talking incomprehensibly.
I thought I had succeeded in escaping when I broke through the main gate and used up all my magic items to block the path.
-Get out of the way! Move!
Gardam ran, pushing and kicking the citizens who filled the main street.
This wall of people will prevent the chasing wizards from using their magic carelessly.
-The Basilisk has appeared, citizens of Grande Den! We’ll have to trap you and move you out, so please get out of the way!
However, the wizards chased after Gardam, pushing everyone aside.
Moreover, he did not hesitate to use magic. Magic flew violently.
-Wardanaz, if you miss, what are you going to do?
-No, I miss the mark! Moradi. I’ll cast a strengthening spell, so get ready!
-Okay, wait, side effects…
Although they were confident that they would not be pushed back if they were persistent, the two wizards persistently chased Gardam and chased and chased.
If you knock over stacked fruit crates and block the path, they will break the crates, if you fall into an alley, summon a summon to chase you, and if you jump into a canal, it will fire a cold spell until you freeze to death…
Gardam himself never thought he could escape this far. It was the power of fear.
However, will alone has its limits.
As my strength faded and my magic dissipated, the fatigue accumulated in my muscles came to me.
Okay!
Gardam was bitten on the ankle by a leopard pet that jumped out from the side.
At the same time, Giselle cut off both of Gardam’s arms. The weapon I was holding flew away.
Lee Han, who was behind him, fired a sub-octane bullet and accurately fractured both of Gardam’s legs.
“Hang, Hang…”

“Take off this skin, salt it, hang it on a pole on the mountain peak, and have your flesh torn by crows, you son of a bitch, worse than a broken and rusty sword!”
“Even in this punishment cell, you son of a bitch will be locked up in the deepest basement, rotting forever, turning to stone and not even being able to blink, and Professor Verdus will be in the front cell!”
Realizing that there was nowhere else to run, they tried to declare surrender, but the wizards who had come running here were not usually angry.
Gardam shouted to the citizens.
“help me! Please save me! “The wizards made me…”
puck!
Lee Han cast a silencing spell on Gardam’s solar plexus and quickly explained it to the people who came out to watch.
“no. Citizens! “This man is a criminal with a bounty on his head!”
“Oh, that guy!! It’s Gardam, the ‘bleeding hand’!?”
“That’s right, that’s right!”
‘phew.’
Lee Han and Giselle exchanged glances and sighed in relief.
If I wasn’t careful, I could have been arrested by the city guards and faced an uncomfortable situation, but it was resolved well because there was someone who knew Gardam’s face.
“And who is it?”
“Uh… We are adventurers belonging to the Grandeur City Adventurer’s Guild. yes? “Gubon?”
“…Yeah, that’s right.”
‘Who is Gubon?’
Giselle couldn’t understand the English sentence, but she guessed it right away.
There was nothing good about being found out that I was a student here.
“uh? “Aren’t you the wizard of Einrogard?”
“That’s right, that’s right! That shabby, unsightly frugal outfit. And even a cane! “You are the wizards of Einrogard!”
“How could a wandering wizard use magic like that?”
“……”
“……”
Lee Han and Giselle exchanged looks in astonishment.
Even though he covered up all of the Einroguard patterns with his coat, he was suspected only because he was shabby and unsightly.
‘What do we do?’
‘Turn over. Wardanaz. ‘Turn it over!’
“…What kind of big problem are you talking about? The Einroguard wizard! no!”
Lee Han shouted loudly.
“We are adventurers who live by earning a day’s work, using the dirt as a seat and the sky as a blanket…”
“Oh, you seem like a nobleman?”
“Aren’t you a nobleman?”
The city people who saw Lee Han’s face asked with very suspicious eyes.
Lee Han suddenly got angry.
“No! “Sounds like a big deal!”
“B-but the face…”
“Everyone, don’t judge people by their faces! This person… Gu Bondo may look pretty on the outside, but on the inside, he is sinister and evil, and he is a swordsman who cuts down anyone who disobeys him with a single sword!”
‘This bastard…’
Giselle was in tears, but couldn’t ruin the mood. He silently closed his mouth and nodded his head, glaring at the people.
“oh. “Wizard!”
Gubon, an adventurer, was passing by with his colleagues and greeted them warmly when he saw a familiar face.
“What are you doing? Nice to meet you!”
“Do you know each other?”
“yes. “That person is Wardanaz, the wizard of Einrogard.”
“……”
“……”
Giselle glared at Lee Han as if she were going to kill him.
* * *
“…Not anyway.”
“Yeah…what.”
“All right.”
The people gathered hesitated and then nodded.
Their expression was roughly ‘They are wizards from Einroguard, but they don’t seem to want to reveal anything, so let’s respect them.’
Lee Han and Giselle became sullen.
‘It’s ruined.’
‘ruined.’
I felt like the time remaining until the punishment room was rapidly decreasing.
Lee Han glared at the fallen Gardam as if he were going to kill him. Gardam was scared and put his head on the ground.
“Would you like to hand this person over to the city guard?”
“If it’s the wizard’s request, I’ll do whatever it takes. But are you sure you’re okay with this? “This is what the wizard did…”
“…That’s it.”
Lee Han waved his hand and smiled lonely.
That smile seemed to say that worldly fame and wealth were insignificant when it came to the wizard’s path.
The people present felt deeply moved as if it were their own work.
“Moradi. “Let’s go buy something.”
“…OK. “I can’t help it.”
Giselle sighed lightly and then accepted reality.
Since things had come to this, swearing at Wardanaaz would not have changed anything.
I had no choice but to buy things and return as quickly as possible, risking getting caught.
“for a moment. Wardanaz. “I didn’t stop by the mansion. How about the money?”
“Could you please take the silver I left you last time? thank you.”
Lee Han received back the silver coin he had left with Gu Bon last time.
“I left the next silver coin at the wand making shop, so let’s go there and spend it.”
“Are you crazy?”
“Why are you swearing?”
* * *
Hodlong, who arrived late, ordered Iunrade to stay still and then assessed the situation.
The dignified citizens of Grandeur provided reliable testimony to Hodron, who worked for the empire.
“So, when the mercenary threatens to release the basilisk, the wizard snatches it away and holds it tightly in his hand?”
“her!”
“No matter how persistent they were, even the family’s enemy wouldn’t have pursued them like that.”
“Why do you think you chased me like that?”
“There is only one! “He was angry when he saw that mercenary full of vice smashing and knocking over citizens’ belongings!”
“her!”
Hodlong exclaimed as if he couldn’t believe it and confirmed the testimony several times, but similar stories emerged.
“So you are a first-year student?”
“That’s right.”
Gubon answered in a sincere manner.
Then the dignified citizens of Grandeur next to him looked at Gu Bon distrustfully.
“Aren’t you mistaken?”
“You know the bluffs of adventurers, right?”
“It doesn’t look like a first year to me. “I know something about magic, but I feel like I’m in third grade.”
“Oh, no… I’m a first year student! “We worked together!”
Gubon shouted angrily, but it had the opposite effect on the citizens of Grande Den.
“under!”
“I guess so.”
“Have I ever told you that I actually had an audience with His Majesty the Emperor when I was young? That big and beautiful…”
“Yes, yes. “I am actually the bastard of the count’s family.”
“……”
Gubon trembled in shame.
What was even more unfair was that if another adventurer had said something like that, I would have thought, ‘What kind of crazy bullshit are you talking about?’
Regardless of what the city people said or not, Hodlong recorded the entire testimony and then turned his gaze to his subordinate with admiration.
“Maybe there is hope for Einrogard too.”
“under! “How could that be!”
“……”
“S-sorry. “I reflexively… I’m really sorry.”
