Episode 667
The merchants who threw tomatoes and eggs dispersed in a fuss.
Only then did the hunters take a breather, put away the tomatoes and eggs, and then asked a patrolman belonging to the Wasteland Star Catcher.
“Why didn’t you kick me out? If you were a member of the Wasteland Stargazers, you could have been a threat…”
“The Wasteland Stargazer, who protects the people of the empire, cannot threaten the citizens, right?”
“ah!”
The hunters from their respective regions were rough and ferocious people, but they were all impressed by the courage and perseverance that the Wasteland Stargazer Ranger had just shown.
Isn’t the courage to endure an arrow even greater than the courage to shoot an arrow?
“As expected, you are a wasteland stargazer.”
“I have no choice but to admit it. haha.”
Lee Han could see that Nilia’s expression next to him became gloomy and her long ears sank sullenly.
“Nilia. Should we incite people to throw tomatoes and eggs again?”
“…Oh, no. it’s okay.”
Nilia, who had almost been deceived by her friend’s words, came to her senses.
These are people who will soon have to move together, but I couldn’t hate them for being stargazers in the wasteland.
“Are you by any chance Einrogard students?”
After clearing away all the tomatoes and eggs, the group discovered Lee Han and his group.
“you’re right.”
“Nice to meet you! “My name is Mranse, ranger of the Stargazers of the Wasteland.”
The elf patroller was tall and handsome, and his uniform was neat and tidy without being extravagant.
It was a great contrast to the Shadow Patrol, who were easily mistaken for bandits or barbarians.
Ihan saw Nilia’s expression become more gloomy and whispered to Yoner.
“Did you bring Nilia here for no reason…?”
“…It’s okay, it’ll be okay. “I have to overcome it.”
“I’m just glad that students from the renowned Einrogard are here to help. Please take care of me.”
“That’s what I’m going to say.”
“This is Explorer Frostwalk. “He is a distant relative of Professor Lightning Walk.”
The young dwarven explorer took off his hat and greeted.
“The hunters behind…”
“Don’t say our names.”
The group of hunters were disgusted and stopped them. Mranse smiled and nodded his head as if he understood.
“I hope you understand. “Because they have a tradition.”
The so-called nameless hunters, called by Professor Lightning Walk, were people who built huts deep in the mountains of each region and lived alone.
Of course, their skills were excellent, but they had dozens of traditions and superstitions that even Professor Lightning Walk could not understand.
One of them was hiding his residence and name.
“If you go around with your name known, it becomes easier for demons and monsters to chase you.”
Lee Han asked back as if he was puzzled by the hunter’s words.
“As far as I know, common names don’t mean much. True name comes from the soul…”
“After all, what a wizard is!”
“Everyone is reckless and fearless. “It’s ignoring tradition.”
“……”
Nilia, who saw her friend being mistreated, apologized on her behalf.
“I’m sorry. Hunters are all a bit stubborn. “The stubbornness toward tradition is also strong.”
“Didn’t the Shadow Patrol just use it?”
“…We also have traditions??”
“Why are you so angry?”
“I’m not angry… Anyway, there is a tradition. “There is.”
Nilia got angry because she was stabbed for no reason, but then regretted it.
When asked what tradition it was, there was nothing to say.
“Is everyone here?”
The lightning-walking professor walked from afar. The professor was puzzled when he saw the wyverns gathered together.
“Can I tie this up like this in front of the city? “Didn’t people swear at you?”
“I threw away the eggs and tomatoes.”
“Oh my. The people of Flaher City are very generous. If it had been any other area, stones would have been thrown. Everyone, get on top of the wyvern.”
Lee Han and his friends prepared to climb on top of the wyvern. I had friends who had ridden it before and I was a trained wyvern, so it wasn’t that difficult.
“Wardanaz.”
“yes. I know. “The wyvern may misunderstand, so shouldn’t you make eye contact with the wyvern and blink to show that there is no hostility?”
At Lee Han’s words, several hunters behind him pretended to twirl their fingers on his head.
Then the Frostwalker shook his head and said.
“That boy could threaten a real wyvern.”
I knew this because I heard it from Professor Lightning Walk.
“Really?”
“I’m really putting my honor on the line.”
“Then please don’t ride the wyvern I’m riding. “There is a tradition on my mountain that says you should not ride a wild beast that could threaten a wyvern on a wyvern.”
“That’s a wild animal, isn’t it?”
As the hunters immediately got tired of it, Seorigaet was in trouble.
I’m going to have to go with him for a while, but I can’t believe he’s already showing such disapproval.
“There is nothing to worry about. Wodanaz here will ride something else. Wardanaz. “Look back there.”

Lee Han turned his head.
Griffon, whose transformation curse had been lifted, was glaring at Lee Han with an expression full of disappointment and betrayal.
Lee Han quietly took his feet off the steps hanging from the wyvern saddle.
“It’s a misunderstanding.”
“okay. “Resolve misunderstandings as you go.”
“I bought some food for you. Phone league.”
Eandurde grunted when he took out the meat he had originally planned to grill for his junior.
Gryphon’s fierce glare eased slightly, and he approached Lee Han and rubbed his head.
Several hunters who saw this opened their mouths at the same time.
“Please don’t let that boy come near.”
“What tradition is this again?”
“I’m just afraid. “I won’t approach you until it’s proven safe.”
“……”
Frostwalk gave up trying to say, ‘You can threaten a wyvern and tame a griffon. Why would you with so much experience do that?’
Even in his opinion, it was a bit unconvincing.
* * *
Professor Lightning Walk’s wyvern looked at the griffon flying from the side with a very hesitant and reluctant gaze.
“It’s pretty good, right?”
Lee Han looked puzzled at the professor’s question and asked back.
“What do you mean?”
“The people who gathered.”
Finding a unicorn was more tricky and difficult than expected.
Searching for a creature lurking around in the wide and rugged mountains. In a way, it was similar to looking for a needle in a haystack.
What was even worse was that this needle thought on its own and used magic to escape.
That’s why Professor Lightning Walk brought along the nameless hunters, as well as the explorer Frost Walk, the wasteland stargazer patroller Mranse, and the former adventurer Skeleton Breaker.
‘What on earth did you do that gave you the nickname Skullbreaker?’
Lee Han was curious, but there was more to ask than that right now.
“What should we do?”
“I’d like to leave the campground to you.”
Professor Lightning Walk said as he adjusted his goggles.
Considering the extent of the Vuitton Mountains, it was impossible to rummage through them randomly. We had to systematically narrow down the area.
First prepare the campsite.
This encampment was responsible for covering the area.
Hunters and rangers then disperse in each direction, looking for signs of the unicorn.
If you find one, you should not approach it alone, but guide it to the campsite. Unicorns are highly intelligent and wary, so even if you approach them for no reason, they just run away.
in other words…
“Magic necessary for hunters and patrollers. And I need to prepare magic to calm the unicorn.”
“Are you a 5th year adventurer? that’s right. “You got it right.”
Professor Lightning Walk had no intention of entrusting the students with tracking the unicorn directly.
It was such a difficult and difficult task.
Even by imperial standards, magicians from Einroguard are extremely versatile talents.
It was right to entrust them with tasks that required magic.
Professor Lightning Walk was impressed by Lee Han, who knew the magic he needed to prepare without having to explain it.
It wasn’t for nothing that professors wanted to bring in all of them as students.
“And there is one more thing.”
“Are we prepared to fight against poachers?”
“…Be an adventurer for 10 years from now on.”
“haha. “Not to that extent.”
“Actually, it would have been better if we had called the Shadow Patrol…”
Lee Han was puzzled by Professor Lightning Step’s words.
Then why bother hiring a wasteland stargazer to make Nylia frustrated when you could just hire a shadow patrol?
“Is there a reason you didn’t call me?”
“I was a little cautious because I was afraid that if I saw a unicorn, I would turn my back and say I would catch it.”
Lee Han vowed to keep what he just heard a secret.
The sound of the wind in the sky was noisy, but Lee Han changed the topic, fearing that Nilia might hear him if he continued the conversation.
“What kind of person is Professor Bendozol?”
“Ah, unicorn. Unicorns are truly beautiful animals. “I’ve traveled a lot, from the western coast of the empire to the eastern underground city, but I’ve only seen a unicorn two and a half times.”
“Not a unicorn, but Professor Bendozol… Wait, why not twice, but two and a half?”
“One time I got so drunk that I still wasn’t sure if it was a unicorn or a rhinoceros. Rather, Professor Bendozol? What else can I say? “Why are you asking Professor Bendozol?”
Of course, Professor Lee Han thought he was asking about unicorns, and the lightning-walking professor answered with a sour expression on his face.
“You might come back this year, right? Then I can take the lecture.”
“Well… I don’t like to gossip about other professors, but I would like to stop you from taking Professor Bendozol’s lecture.”
“?!”
Lee Han was surprised.
I wasn’t surprised by the fact that the lightning-walking professor didn’t like to gossip about other professors (the lightning-walking professor enjoyed gossiping about the thunder-walking professor).
They want to stop me from listening to Professor Bendozol’s lecture.
“Is it more dangerous than Professor Verdus’ or Professor Bagrek’s lectures?”
‘This guy is asking really tough questions!’
After thinking for a while, the lightning-walking professor slowly answered.
“The three of us each have slightly different directions. Professor Bendo Zol is certainly an excellent professor and knowledgeable about the animals and monsters of the Empire, but he cares about the animals too much.”
“Isn’t that a good thing?”
“It’s a problem because you care more about your students. “If Professor Bendozol had given a horse training lecture last year, he would have had you run on your back instead of riding a horse.”
“……”
For a moment, Lee Han thought that Professor Lightning Walk was joking.
But the professor was very serious.
“Oh, no. No matter how much we care about horses, does it make sense for us to run on horses?”
“So you’re a weirdo. Do you still want to listen to Professor Bendozol’s lecture?”
‘It’s really scary.’
Lee Han looked at the griffon.
If Professor Bendozol had taught last year’s lecture, Lee Han might have had to pass all the assignments while carrying this griffon.
“hmm. “I’ll just have to look for it and give up on the professor’s lecture.”
“Aren’t you being too greedy? “It would be hard to find even a unicorn, but trying to find a professor at the same time… Well, I guess it would be easier to find a professor.”
Professor Lightning Walk was amazed to see Lee Han remaining loyal even after being harassed by the professors.
Of course, from Lee Han’s perspective, this was done for the bounty.
If there was no bounty, why would you seek out a professor you’ve never met before?
“It’s the Vuitton Mountains. Let’s all go down. “Start scanning from here!”
“Aren’t those poachers?”
When Lee Han pointed down, Professor Lightning Walk nodded.
“Good find! It’s right at the entrance to the mountain range. The rumor must have spread. “Ready to fire warning shots!”
Lee Han immediately started firing lightning magic. The fact that it was on top of a shaking gryphon wasn’t much of a problem.
It’s a joke!
As lightning began to fly in the air, the poachers screamed and shouted for surrender.
-surrender! surrender! Wizard! I surrender!
Professor Lightning Walk looked at his student and explained kindly.
“You used your magic well. But the warning shot preparation I just mentioned was something I said to the hunters behind me.”
“……”
When I looked behind me, the hunters were asking questions with eyes of astonishment. The friends responded quickly.
“no. “We can’t do that.”
‘Traitors!’
