Episode 315
After hearing the explanation, Lee Han understood the situation and nodded.
“The negative magic acted as a repulsion force and absorbed the vitality of the hand… Why did you swing it so ignorantly?”
“I was so preoccupied with the thought of waking everyone up that I couldn’t help it.”
The other two friends couldn’t help but nod their heads at Dergyu’s words.
I had a lot to say, but I wasn’t in the mood to say it right now.
“I’m glad it wasn’t a serious injury though. “Let’s treat only what can be treated.”
Lee Han cast the >Minor Stab Wound Healing> spell on Anrago’s hand.
And then he paused.
‘Oops.’
When I thought about it, there was no benefit in Lee Han using things as he pleased when there was no trustworthy professor next to him.
If the healing magic fails, it could be even worse than if it had not been attempted.
“thanks. Wardanaaz.”
Anrago was grateful when the torn wound healed without knowing Lee Han’s true feelings. Lee Han slightly averted his gaze.
“Rapadel, you… hmm… Do I really need to use healing magic?”
“… … ”
Rafadel didn’t say anything out of pride, but Gainan also showed the same expression after losing the card game.
The expression of resentment and sadness once again!
Lee Han sighed inwardly.
“Don’t regret it.”
“????”
When the magic was over, Rafadel looked at his cleanly healed hand and tilted his head.
What do you mean you shouldn’t regret it?
“Durgyu.”
“I’m fine. Lee Han. “It’s going to be hard, so stop using magic.”
“no. It’s not a matter of magic… ”
Lee Han whispered softly so that only Dergyu could hear.
“… “It is unfinished.”
“what?”
“The magic is unfinished. “I realized it too late because I was so distracted.”
“… … ”
Dergyu looked at Lee Han with a shocked expression and then looked at his friends’ hands.
If I hadn’t been unlucky right now, wouldn’t the skin of my friends’ hands have been stuck to the bandages?
“So, just hold on for a little while and then treat yourself with the potion.”
“… no… My friends said that, but only I… ”
“It doesn’t matter because those kids were lucky. Just be safe and treat him with potions.”
“What are we talking about?”
Rafael asked curiously.
I wondered if there was something evil left in this cave.
“It is nothing. really. Rapadel. “I almost forgot, but thanks to you, I remembered.”
“what?”
puck!
“Who said it was okay to go out on a whim?”
“Ugh… that is… Pfft… ”
* * *
Gubon, who was waiting at the spot where the flames swept away, breathed a sigh of relief when Lee Han returned with his friends.
From the looks of it, it seemed to have ended well.
“Thank you for your hard work! “I’m really glad.”
“We all went through hardships together, right?”
Gubon and Busidek couldn’t help but be moved by Lee Han’s words.
What adventurer wouldn’t be thrilled to receive the respect of a wizard who showed such great magic?
The mercenaries must have felt the excitement as well and came to say thank you.
“Thank you, Wizard!”
“Thanks to you, I survived!! “If I had followed that bastard, I would have found him!”
“I really thought I was going to die… ”
An attack by a large army of fleshy ghouls and ghouls, the descent of the king of ghouls, flames running rampant that threatened to burn down the entire cave…
If it were a different request, even just one would have resulted in a life-threatening crisis all at once.
I couldn’t help but feel that it was a miracle that I survived.
“thank you. “Wizard!”
“Thank you very much. Please accept our thanks!”
Gubon and Busidek were once again surprised by the sincere loyalty of the mercenaries whom they had only recently met.
Of course, it wasn’t that I didn’t understand. Gubon and Vijidek immediately felt loyal to that young wizard.
But who would have thought that those greedy mercenaries, who are no less than criminals, would also be influenced.
Maybe this was true magic.
“okay. thanks. I will accept it with respect. “Can you give me your hand for a moment?”
Hearing Lee Han’s words, the mercenary nearby quickly held out his hand.
I planned to do whatever errand I was asked to do without a single complaint.
Slam!
“… ???”
The mercenary blinked as the bone restraints were fastened to his wrists like handcuffs. Lee Han paid no heed to it and summoned the bone hand to his ankle, and then summoned the bone hand to his neck again.
During the battle earlier, everyone was reverse-summoned due to the situation, but now that it was over, it was time to refill.
“ruler. next.”
“uh… no… Wizard… ”
“quietly. next.”
Lee Han tied the mercenaries tightly and formed a formation like before.
Gubon asked cautiously.
“Well, did the mercenaries do anything unpleasant?”
“yes?”
“If not, why suddenly… ”
“ah. “We should take him with us and receive a reward.”
“… … ”
Gubon was speechless.
The rest of the mercenaries here were, in fact, petty criminals.
He’ll probably get a few pennies, but he’s holding on so tightly to get that.
how… !
‘Is that a real adventurer? ‘Have I been doing things too profanely and haphazardly?’
Gubon suddenly began to reflect on the crazy thoroughness shown by the adventurer who was running for the first time.
“It’s outside!!”
Although they were tied up and dragged out, the mercenaries were happy as they took a deep breath in the outside air.
No matter how much light there was, the damp and gloomy air inside the cave made people tired.
Lee Han also stretched and spoke to Gu Bon.
“Could you please guard these mercenaries for a while?”
“yes? It’s not difficult, but if something happens… ”
Gubon was worried about Lee Han.
There was no way that even the greatest wizard would be unharmed in such a fierce battle.
I was even more worried because my coat was already a mess.
Could it be that they are heading to a remote place with no people due to the side effects of some evil magic?
“ah. “I’m trying to capture the Rapella wild rat.”
“… that… “I see.”
Lee Han took Sharkan and headed to the forest.
To Gubon, who was staring blankly at the back, Busidek spoke in a startled voice.
“for a moment. I told you so! That wizard is from the Wardanaz family! “That magical family!”
“What did you say… no. for a moment. Wait what???”
I was so distracted earlier that I missed it, but what Videk said just now was more surprising than the appearance of the Ghoul King inside the cave.
Who said who??
* * *
Blanche, an elf clerk at the Adventurer’s Guild in Grandeur City, was first surprised by the sight of mercenaries walking in with sad expressions.
And I was secondly surprised to see the Einrogard students reporting with very tired faces.
“what… “What do you mean?”
“There was an evil entity from another dimension in the Bulparn Hill caves. He calls himself the King of Ghouls and appears to have been sealed away quite a while ago.”
As Blanche quickly wrote down, he immediately opened a drawer and took out a paper bird for urgent communication.
The paper birds that jumped out through the guild window flew away quickly. It contains information that will make the imperial officials working in Grandeur City rush over to you.
“I’m really sorry. “A punitive force will be formed right now and we will head there.”
Blanche spoke with sincerity.
You couldn’t figure out such a dangerous being and sent your first request, a student from Einrogard, there.
Even though it wasn’t intentional, he couldn’t be free from responsibility.
If there was an accident, how much would Einrogard have… No, how long have you protested?
I was very fortunate to get out safely.
‘Maybe I’m lucky that I’m a student at Einrogard.’
Since I was a smart Einroguard student, I could have sensed the presence of such an evil being and escaped, otherwise I might have been wiped out with a clumsy mistake.
“You mean the punitive force?”
“yes. “Even if an evil being from another dimension appears weak, we can never leave it alone.”
“ah… that. “We subdued it among ourselves.”
“yes?”
“First, we subdued it among ourselves. Because it was an urgent situation, I had no choice… ”
“What is that… ”
bang!
The first Daihal, whom I had seen in the Dalkad family, burst through the door.
Then he spoke, trying his best to suppress his excitement and worry.
“I am Daihal, an Imperial Special Administrator from the Dalkad family. I came running after hearing that existence from another dimension had been discovered. Explain accurately once again… Wait, what are you doing here?”
Daihal was surprised to see Lee Han.
My brother’s friend, from the Wardanaz family, was sitting with the adventurers.
“I found it.”
“Is that so? What an expert discovered? “It is a fortunate thing among misfortunes.”
Daihal sat in front of Lee Han. Then he calmly took out his quill.
“How did the other person refer to themselves?”
“He said he was the king of ghouls.”
“King of Ghouls… “I can immediately think of three people with that title, but I haven’t heard any information about whether any of these three are currently active.”
“It could be so. The person I met seemed quite ancient. “It didn’t seem strange that the Empire had no information.”
“indeed.”
Daihal regained his cool while talking with Lee Han.
Unlike other gibberish adventurers, this younger friend from the Wardanaz family was truly an easy person to talk to.
An adventurer who explains events in order, without exception, according to the six principles.
‘Asan must have met a really good friend in Einrogard.’
Daihal vowed that when he returned to the mansion, he would catch Asan and advise him to follow his friend’s example.
Asan would certainly be grateful for such meaningful advice.
“You were trying to possess me? this… ”
“yes. And he kept calling out ghouls.”
“A punitive force as soon as possible… ”
“Um, Administrator?”
Clerk Blanche tried to intervene.
Now it seemed like Special Administrator Daihal was missing something.
“Could you please wait a moment? “It’s an urgent situation right now, so I’ll gather the information as quickly as possible and then give you a chance to tell you.”
“that is… ”
“sorry.”
“no… ”
“So what other abilities has the self-proclaimed king of ghouls shown?”
“It seems like there was dispersion of form, emission of negative energy, and connection to another dimension, but I’m not sure about this.”
“That is enough. We will send a specialized expert right away… ”
bang!
“They said they subdued it!!!”
Unable to bear it, Blanche kicked the chair and shouted.
Daihal asked back in confusion.
“What do you mean?”
“They said they subdued it! They said they subdued it! “I subdued it!”
“What on earth is that…?” ”
“We did subdue it.”
Lee Han took out the shattered crystal skull.
From the creepy energy felt within it, Blanche and Dyhal instinctively felt what kind of presence resided in this crystal skull.
“It was a being that was sealed in ancient times, but it seems that it escaped through a gap in the seal.”
“so… “Have you really subjugated him?”
“yes.”
“… … ”
Daihal was speechless.
The tip of the quill that had been writing elegantly stopped.
bang!
The guild door opened again and a knight from the Grandeur City Knights entered.
“Lord Daihal! After hearing the news, I summoned the available knights. We have also contacted the temple, so priests will join us. “I’ll leave right away, so I’ll get the information as I go.”
“Oh, no. “It was subdued.”
“yes?”
“We subdued it… ?”
For the first time, the driver saw Special Administrator Daihal losing confidence and hesitating.
It was truly a shocking sight.
And the shocking sight didn’t end there.
“for a moment. You guys… ”
The knight noticed familiar faces among the adventurers sitting in front of Daihal.
They were young students from different knight families.
“… “Why are you wearing something like that around your neck?”
They were wearing signs around their necks that said, “We will never disobey orders again.”
