Episode 670
-help me! help me!
When the poachers screamed, Lee Han opened the stable door and checked.
“Have you eaten anything? hmm. “No.”
Vonrig protested, scratching the wall in displeasure.
It’s not like I know someone as a wyvern who can’t even control his appetite!
“Okay, okay. I believed it. I was screaming so hard. “Everyone, please be quiet.”
“Sal, save me! please!”
“You saved my life. “If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll release a basilisk.”
The remaining poachers looked at each other.
…What do you mean, Basilisk?
bang!
Lee Han closed the door and went out again.
When I went outside, I saw Frosty Steps looking at the wanted list.
Lee Han spoke because he felt close to him.
“Are you looking at Professor Bendozol’s wanted list? “I have one too.”
“ah. no. I was looking at the poacher’s wanted list. I thought he looked familiar somehow, that guy named Julban. He’s a pretty famous poacher. “There was a bounty on it.”
“yes?”
Lee Han looked at him with eyes that said, ‘A bounty for that guy who acted stupidly and got hit by lightning magic?’
“ha ha ha. “It’s because I let my guard down, but that guy is also quite infamous.”
“Well. “I think the poachers are a bit let down their guard.”
It wasn’t the sound of someone who launched a surprise attack without even casting a detection spell, but Lee Han spoke shamelessly.
‘I wish everyone would be more vigilant.’
If more poachers with bounties like that guy called Julban come to visit us, we’ll be able to make a big profit before the vacation ends.
“Are there any more poachers coming?”
“hmm. This is a difficult question. “More could come… but I think they probably won’t come.”
Frostwalk took out a long brass telescope artifact and checked the surroundings.
Sure enough, all the popular acts that had been bothersome until just now had completely disappeared.
“Poachers are not fanatics but weak thieves. “You must have realized it because the magic just exploded and the Zulban gang was destroyed.”
I thought that the Julban gang had weaknesses, so I attacked them.
But since the gang was destroyed like this, the poachers must have realized that the wizards here were not ordinary.
“Could it have escaped out of the mountains?”
Lee Han asked with a bit of regret. The frosty step did not notice the emotions contained in Lee Han’s words.
“That’s not it. Poachers are persistent. “They probably rushed in to find the unicorn first rather than keep us in check.”
Gainando, who was listening next to him, was surprised at those words.
“Then shouldn’t we go in quickly too?”
“You don’t have to worry. “Unicorns are not monsters that can be caught in such a hurry.”
Gai Nando whispered to Lee Han at Frost Step’s words.
“Lee Han. “I think that person is quite wrong. Can you trust me?”
“…Let’s not be too quick to say that we didn’t notice the poachers right away.”
* * *
Unlike Zulban, the poacher Akga was more of a lone hunter.
If I were to compare it, it has a similar personality to the Shadow Patrol (though the Shadow Patrol would never admit it).
There were people in the empire who felt a sense of joy and accomplishment from defeating difficult and strong prey.
Hunters would now say that these people were blessed by Zarmis, the hunter god.
Those who abandoned the ordinary happiness they should have enjoyed and chose a lonely and dangerous life.
And the poacher Akga was one of these people.
‘I catch the unicorn.’
Akga took out the incense burner and compass from his chest.
This incense burner compass, which contained a single strand of unicorn’s mane hair, was a treasure that any hunter chasing a unicorn would drool over.
The smoke rising from the incense burner helps guide the unicorn.
Akga planned to approach the unicorn alone and kill it while the others were wandering at the beginning of the mountain range.
“!”
Akga blinked at the white, beautiful creature seen from afar.
As a hunter, I have never been so fascinated by my prey, but the unicorn made that possible.
‘found!’
Akga carefully and slowly took out the crossbow.
The unicorn is a monster with powerful magic, so if you can’t kill it with one hit, the evil one could be the enemy.
But it didn’t matter. Akga had no intention of ending it in one blow.
As I took out the crossbow bolt, an evil energy rose up. The air shook as there was a curse that could suffocate a unicorn.
‘Jarmis. Let one of you die…’
In an instant, the unicorn’s appearance changed. The evil eye shook.
…Did unicorns even have shapeshifting abilities?
-■■■■■■!
The unicorn that turned into a human suddenly shouted. Akga felt a shock that shook his soul. The mental defense artifacts I was wearing were broken all at once.
At that moment, Akga realized. The instinct of an experienced hunter was calling out.
The opponent was not a unicorn!
“you you…!”

“Hey, you poacher who will fry you to death. How dare you try to catch a unicorn? “Even if you have a hundred lives, you can’t exchange them for a unicorn!”
The sight of a short, grumpy-looking human wizard walking towards him was the last thing Akga saw before he collapsed.
dump!
Professor Bendozol spat on the fallen poacher and then took the incense burner and compass.
Then the mane hair was removed and the spell was broken. Then the beautiful unicorn’s fur returned to Professor Bendozol’s hair.
“The poachers are less capable than I thought. “I thought everyone would come this way, but you’re still waiting at the entrance?”
Professor Bendozol growled in disapproval.
The ruse of distributing fake unicorn fur around the market was inspired by the Skeleton Headmaster.
I thought if the poachers cast a search spell with unicorn fur, they would all come this way…
“That won’t work. “I will take action myself.”
-■■■■…
“do not worry. “I will protect you until you get better.”
Professor Bendozol spoke firmly to the unicorn and then began to walk down the stairs.
Due to its bloody momentum, even the threatening monsters of the Vuitton Mountains did not dare to attack and avoided the path.
* * *
“The search around here is over.”
After three days, Professor Lightning Step and the hunters returned.
Lee Han quickly brought hot coffee with plenty of butter and freshly baked toast. The lightning-walking professor looked at Lee Han as if he was dying.
“I don’t know why a guy like you learns under Thunder.”
‘That’s high praise.’
The professor and the hunters hastily poured in coffee and toast. Searching the mountains was tiring, easily tiring even experienced hunters and patrollers.
“Did you find any traces of the unicorn?”
“no. Instead, I found something else.”
“Poachers? “We caught some too.”
“!”
Mranse, who was sipping coffee, was surprised. Professor Lightning Walk said with his eyes.
-What did I say?
“Jeong, did you really catch it?”
“They locked him in the stable over there.”
Mranse glanced at the stables and nodded. Looking at the silence, it looks like they caught one or two or three people.
“We found traces of poachers from the beginning. It wasn’t that difficult since they didn’t even show any signs of hiding. “The problem is different…”
“?”
“Poachers are being hunted.”
“Isn’t it good?”
“That’s right. “But I don’t know who is doing it.”
The lightning-walking professor drank all the coffee in the tin cup.
It was good to catch the poachers, but it was not good to have an unexpected opponent in the mountains.
Unicorns are difficult creatures that even the lightning-walking professor is wary of handling, so there are many variables, so there is nothing good about them.
“Aren’t the same poachers fighting?”
“It’s too professional for something like that. Besides, poachers don’t fight each other before they catch their prey.”
“What if another monster came down?”
“No matter how stupid the poachers are, they are not at the level of being hunted by their prey.”
Lee Han, who was listening to the conversation between the Lightning Walk professor and the students, asked in puzzlement.
“Professor Bendozol went missing here. Could it be that he killed the poachers?”
“……”
The lightning-walking professor was startled and dropped the tin cup he was holding.
“Ben, there was Bendozol!”
All the students, including Lee Han, looked at the lightning-walking professor as if they were dumbfounded.
Anyway, I never thought you would have completely forgotten about it!
“You said Professor Bendozol went missing here…”
“Ah… ah… that’s right. that’s right. It was like that. I really didn’t even think about it. but. “If it were Professor Bendozol…”
The lightning-walking professor nodded as if he finally understood.
“I wondered what kind of crazy person kept attacking the poachers like animals, and it turned out to be Professor Bendozol. Professor Bendozol would be like that. He was alive…”
“……”
The faces of the students who had to meet a new professor in the coming semester were soured, but the lightning-walking professor did not notice.
Lee Han still spoke up to find positive aspects of the situation.
“Wouldn’t things be easier if the professor was really there?”
“hmm.”
Professor Lightning Walk was deep in thought. After pouring another cup of coffee from the coffee pot and drinking it, Professor Lightning Walk answered.
“no. not really.”
The students’ faces became more rotten.
“Professor Bendozol’s presence has become a nuisance. “He’s going to attack us too.”
“…No way, no way.”
Gainando denied reality.
Does it make sense for a professor to attack a student?
…It was long.
“But you wouldn’t attack a student you met for the first time, not even Professor Bagrek!”
“……”
Lee Han looked at Gai Nando with sad eyes.
“You’re saying such carefree things because you haven’t met Professor Bendozol. Professor Bendozol is naturally a troublesome person, but he becomes even more troublesome when he has rare animals with him. We probably won’t believe it either. Everyone be careful. “It would be convenient to think that a crazy wizard has been added to the mountain range’s monsters.”
‘Aren’t there any of the Einrogard professors who are a bit trustworthy?’
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
I met a professor in the mountains, but now I have to treat him like a more dangerous monster.
“Ugh!”
“!”
Everyone was startled by the shouting.
Professor Lightning Walk took out a glass bottle containing hell breath. I had to use this much to subdue Professor Bendozol.
“S-sorry. “I was surprised to see the Julban gang.”
Mranse apologized with an embarrassed expression.
Without thinking much, he opened the stable door and was surprised to see prisoners filled with prisoners.
“Please save me!!”
The poachers, realizing that there were newcomers, howled as if they thought it was their last chance.
Professor Lightning Walk spoke in an irritated tone.
“Close the door. Lose your appetite.”
“no!”
thud!
When the stable door closed again, the nameless hunters whispered and looked at Lee Han.
Using a griffon as a guard!
That boy was a natural trainer. I’ve never seen anyone use a griffon like that.
Even the basilisk.
Lee Han, who had half given up, sat quietly without saying anything.
‘I made coffee for no reason.’
“Lee Han. “They say you are loved by wild beasts.”
Surprisingly, it wasn’t an insult.
Lee Han felt slightly better. My first impression seemed to have changed a bit.
“Only the king of monsters could be loved like that…”
‘Next time I’ll have to use cheap coffee beans.’
At that time, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
The nameless hunters winked at Professor Lightning Walk. The professor took out a vial of hell breath and said.
“Professor Bendozol is really here. Wodanaz.”
“yes?”
“Bring out the strongest magic you have.”
“……”
