Episode 883
However, despite such fear, no adventurer stopped or tried to return.
If you’re the kind of person who goes back because you’re afraid, you shouldn’t be an adventurer in the first place.
Those who overcome fear with desire and fear with greed.
Moreover, as he worked under Antagondals for a long time, his greed was never weak.
“They are death knights. scroll!”
When a group of Death Knights and Bone Wyverns appeared in the sky above the forest, the adventurers belonging to Kangla’s Joyeong began to respond all at once.
In addition to the magic of invisibility, there is even magic that erases presence and presence and causes confusion if one looks at the surroundings.
“Are you done?”
“Wait a minute. “Death knights can easily see through veils.”
Even though the patrolling Death Knight disappeared, the adventurers held on cautiously.
Just as I was about to take another step, other Death Knights appeared from a different direction.
“……”
“What kind of army of death knights is in this damned territory?”
It would not be an exaggeration to say that a Death Knight was an enemy that, if encountered once in any historic site or dungeon, would wipe out a year’s worth of bad luck.
However, here in the Einrogarde territory, Death Knights appeared and roamed around every few minutes. From the adventurers’ perspective, it felt like a cold blade had been thrust straight into their spines.
“…done. move Candle maker. “Has the location been confirmed?”
“for a moment…”
An adventurer called Chojang Cho took out a long brass telescope and carefully checked the location.
Although they had crossed the infamous Einroguard barrier and entered the territory, there was still a long way to go.
Since this territory was as large as a decent area, it was easy to get lost and end up in a dangerous place.
Kwasik!
In an instant, the lens of the brass telescope shattered and the candlemaker fell forward.
The adventurers were scared, but couldn’t even scream. The bowman quickly checked the candlemaker’s pulse.
“…Wrong. “My soul was absorbed.”
“Oh, crazy… They’re such cursed wizards. “What kind of trap have you set?”
“I think I probably looked at the wrong location. “I should have looked towards the mountain range, but I think I saw the magic tower where the wizards stay.”
The adventurer called Sefactory made a cool decision.
Of these, he was a seasoned adventurer with the most knowledge about magic and artifacts, so he was able to guess what had happened.
Wizards tend to cast defensive magic to protect the treasures they have stored up in their workshops or magic towers.
It was clear that the wizards here in Einrogard had also cast such a spell.
It was hard to believe that his soul had been absorbed just by observing from a distance, not even approaching…
“Nonsense. No matter how infamous Einroguard is, it is not a great labyrinth located at a remote altitude, and it casts such a threatening magic within its territory? “There are outsiders walking around too?”
“That’s quite possible. Antagondals has infiltrated you. “It’s no wonder they’re on guard.”
“Uhm…!”
In fact, the territory’s alert status was raised not because of Antagondals but because of his crazy clone, but the adventurers did not know that.
“The candle maker throws it away. Let’s move quickly. “Because the soul was absorbed, the location here may have been discovered.”
“I haven’t confirmed the destination yet…”
“Can not help it. “We have no choice but to go with a temporary solution.”
The swordsman opened the silver cover and took out a compass. The needle twirled and indicated a direction.
This artifact, which showed the location of the destination with a half probability, was more uncertain than the candlemaker’s telescope earlier, but it was unavoidable in the current situation.
“let’s go!”
The adventurers ran without even taking a breath. The fear that if they hesitated even for a moment, death knights might flock in from all directions urged them on.
How long did you walk?
The swordsman thought to himself.
‘That’s strange. ‘I can’t see the tracking team.’
Since the candlemaker’s soul had been absorbed, a tracking party had to come out to find his body.
However, even when I looked at the sky or outside the forest, there was no trace, there was just silence.
It’s as if they don’t make a fuss just to catch an outside adventurer who happens to come in.
The silence actually made the knifeman afraid.
“It’s a mountain range!”
When the huge mountain peaks appeared in front of the adventurers who had escaped the dark forest, the adventurers were heartbroken.
Instead of reaching the magic tower of the wizards, they arrived at the mountain range within the territory that was their original destination.
The place stated in the communication that Antagondals was staying.
As it was a remote and barren place, I could take a breather once I came this far. If you start looking for Antagondals throughout the mountains…
Grumble!
“Can we find the intruders in the mountains? “What if I went inside first?”
“Of course you can. But the inside of the mountains here are difficult even for Einrogard students. Even the intruders couldn’t hold out and would come down several times. “I’m aiming for that moment.”
The wizards of Einroguard were having scary conversations and setting up magic traps all over the place.
These were bloody magic traps that were triggered the moment an outsider, not a Einroguard student, stepped on them.
That wasn’t all.
“Tsk tsk. Just like those lazy people. “If you wait for an apple to fall under a tree, will it fall?”
“Hormas you are right. We need to actively pursue it. “I don’t normally take care of my vehicle properly, so I can’t step forward in times like this.”
-Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrn
There were also wizards who dragged Cerberus, a three-headed dog with sulfurous breath, searching for traces.
“Anpagon. “Isn’t this equipment too expensive?”
“It is an appropriate price. It is much better to observe this way than to have a person run directly. “If there is an intruder coming in from outside, we will catch it right away.”
“Wardanaz guy. What a strange request you are asking. “I’ll give it to you because I got it… but why bother trying to catch thieves who came in from outside?”

Also, some wizards were attempting to observe the surroundings by floating magical instruments in the air…
The adventurers froze as they saw too many wizards than expected wandering around the mountain range like rats.
Even though the adventurers were seasoned adventurers who had experienced many hardships and the opponents were still young wizards, there was no way to do anything if the numbers were this different.
Isn’t this even the wizards’ territory?
“Your location was discovered when your soul was absorbed earlier. “It’s definitely true.”
“Tsk…!”
The adventurers let out deep, dark groans.
Regardless of the trap, I never imagined that a single student would be making requests.
* * *
After setting up the giants as guards, getting some praise from his crazy alter ego, and petting the hamster once (the hamster tried to bite it), Lee Han returned to school and asked a favor from his seniors.
“Seniors. “I will take the exam on my own this time, submit the test materials to the club, and usually help out with club work. Can you do me a favor?”
“Puh, wadanaz! “If you tell me just one of the three, I have no choice but to grant your request!”
“Intruders have entered the school. Is it possible to release the club members and capture them?”
“It’s not difficult… why?”
“yes?”
“Why are you doing that, Wardanaz?”
Falkrius tilted his head.
Intruders coming into Einrogard was a constant occurrence.
And it’s the job of the skeleton principal, his minions, or the professors to catch it.
This was not a problem for the second-year student, who would be taking the midterm exam in a few days, to worry about.
“That… I mean…”
Lee Han hesitated because it was difficult to say that he had defrauded magic criminals and ridiculed their hamster status.
Then Falkrius nodded as if he understood.
“Phew. “I think I know even if you don’t say it.”
“Are you sure?”
“okay. Is that because he is the principal’s student? The principal is also very kind. “I can’t believe I’m asking you to do that.”
“…no!”
When Falkrius made a strange misunderstanding, Lee Han immediately began to explain.
It was a little doubtful whether he had been persuaded, but Falkrius promised to search the area by asking juniors who were close to the club.
Falkrius was not the only thing Lee Han requested.
“Senior Hormasi. “I am taking care of a baby basilisk, a unicorn, a griffon, and a baby Jorin. Could you please help me?”
“…Are you asking me to pledge my family’s name as a guarantee?”
Carnella was astonished.
Why on earth would you start a story like that to ask for a favor?
“no. “There is an intruder…”
“Why are you doing that, junior?”
“…So…”
“ah. done. “I think I know even if you don’t say it.”
“You don’t think I’m doing this because I’m the principal’s student, do you?”
“Is that right? what? “How did you read my mind?”
“……”
After that, the requests continued.
Seniors from various clubs.
And the seniors of Lee Han’s school (actually most of them) readily nodded to their junior’s rare request.
Delet, who had promised to take his juniors from the dark magic school on patrol, suddenly became curious and asked.
“By the way, junior.”
“I’m not doing this because I’m the principal’s student!”
“…Oh, no. What are you talking about?”
Delet was embarrassed.
I didn’t think that Lee Han’s search for intruders had anything to do with the skeleton principal.
If it is related, wouldn’t it be related to his crazy alter ego?
“…you’re right. senior. Senior Direth is the best senior in Einrogard!”
Lee Han was slightly moved and shouted. Direth actually felt a little embarrassed at those words.
“Well, to that extent? “There must be many better seniors than me.”
“Who the hell are you? “Please tell me someone’s name…”
Delet pretended not to have heard what his junior said and returned to the main topic.
“What I was trying to ask was about the seniors of the Buyeo School of Magic.”
“ah. “I didn’t ask you that.”
“I actually know why without even asking.”
Direth guessed why his junior didn’t ask for it without having to ask him why.
Unlike other schools of magic, there was no need to ask as they didn’t really care what their juniors did.
“There is a way.”
“Are you sure?”
“okay. “They say the intruders have expensive reagents or artifacts.”
“yes? “I don’t know what the intruders have.”
“huh. I don’t know either. But it doesn’t matter.”
“……”
Lee Han was taken aback when he confidently asked to lie.
By any chance, is it not senior Direth but Senior Yukveltire who is sitting there in disguise?
Direth must have noticed his junior’s gaze and quickly started explaining. If he was left like this, he might be deprived of his position as the best senior in Einro Guard.
“no! I don’t usually lie like this either. But Buyeo magic school kids can do it! …It sounds weird, but it’s true!”
As Direth spoke, he had the feeling that he was sinking deeper and deeper into the mire.
The more I said it, the more strange it sounded.
But Lee Han was also an outstanding junior. I immediately understood what Delet meant.
“indeed. understand. “My seniors at the Buyeo Magic School usually don’t repay me in any way even though I work hard for the school, so even if I cheat, it’s a kind of self-defense.”
“Uh… I see, but… How did you get that from what I just said?”
“thank you. Mr. Delet. I will do that. “As expected, you are the best senior in Einrogard!”
“no way. what. “It’s no big deal.”
Seeing his senior waving his hand in a pretense of nonchalance while flapping his wings in pride, Lee Han thought to himself that he should give him a cup as a gift at the end of this year with the words “Ainrogard’s best senior” written on it.
