Episode 325
Delet whispered in an embarrassed voice.
“Junior, how did you convince me??”
“I gave permission because I have a friend at the Black Turtle Tower.”
“ah. okay? … uh? “Aren’t you the Blue Dragon Tower?”
“senior! “Isn’t that magic power, the magic power shed by the undead?”
Delet, who had been wondering about Lee Han’s suspiciously wide network, suddenly came to his senses after hearing those words.
That’s not important now, is it?
“Good find. let’s go!”
bang!
A wooden box flew out from inside the warehouse with a crashing sound. Lee Han immediately swung his cane. A thick shield made of water surrounded the wooden box that flew in and made a dull sound.
“… !”
Delet gritted his teeth.
I don’t know if he was doing it knowingly or not, but the actions of that undead chimera were poking at the party’s weaknesses.
It would have been quite difficult for the wizards to try to destroy all the items in the warehouse like that.
I barely got permission to enter, but there was no way the guild members would sit still if the items in the warehouse were broken.
“Salko! “Understand if I break some things!”
“I understand, so catch the undead!! “Why are you so good at defeating the White Tiger Tower guys, but so bad at catching the undead?”
“!?”
While Direth was surprised, Lee Han started firing lightning magic.
It’s a joke!
The undead chimera must have sensed something unusual in the air and jumped behind the box to avoid it.
However, Lee Han didn’t care whether he ducked behind the box or inside the box.
I will crush it with all my might!
“Flash, flash, flash, flash!”
Magic storm.
Delet had no choice but to describe the current scene that way.
I never thought I could complete a barrage of such brutal density with low circle magic.
‘This is really… ‘
When the inside of the warehouse was turned upside down and destroyed, and there was no longer anything to cover the body with, the undead chimera must have felt that it could not be done and ran out of the premises.
Salco and the guild members who were quietly approaching from outside the warehouse were dismayed at the sight.
“You have to sneak up on me. If you show up like that and openly try to kill me, of course they’ll notice!”
“The guild members here are neither wizards nor knights, so what do you want? This is enough! “Hurry and chase the undead!”
“Anyway, thank you!”
Lee Han decided to stop getting angry later and just said thank you.
Thanks to Salco’s cooperation, we were able to chase him down.
“Let’s go, senior!”
As Lee Han and his party rushed out, the guild members finally sighed.
Anyway, I was nervous when I heard that undead had jumped into the guild warehouse.
“Would it be okay? It’s not usually difficult to chase down and catch someone running away from the city. “The other person isn’t even a person.”
“It’ll probably be okay. “The one chasing him is even more of a monster.”
Salko said and walked to the warehouse.
And I was shocked to see the ruined inside.
‘Wardanaz… !! Even if you get permission, isn’t this a bit harsh!!’
* * *
The undead chimera, which first ran away after seeing magic, and then ran away after seeing lightning magic, completely changed its movements. By moving through a complex and difficult route, it caused the pursuers to get tired first.
“It looks like he’s waiting for us to get tired.”
“joy. It’s a mistake to think that even a wizard would get tired of this. “You’re all from Einrogard, right?”
“you’re right.”
Ihan and Direth, as well as Ymirg, nodded.
“omg… “Hehe.”
Gainando was out of breath and was panting. Lee Han cast a spell.
“Feet, touch the ground.”
“strength… ! thank you! Lee Han!”
It was clear that he would suffer from muscle pain once the strengthening magic was over, but Lee Han supported Gainando.
“It’s no big deal. Cainan Island. cheer up!”
“okay!!”
“I’m in big trouble. “Juniors.”
Delet spoke in an embarrassed voice.
“Why are you doing that?”
“By any chance, I’m at the Greenbell family’s mansion again… ”
The Greenbell family, an urban aristocratic family with deep roots in Grandeur City, was not an easy family.
This was especially true in this situation as they were quite closed-minded people.
‘Even if the undead got in, I don’t think they would cooperate… ‘
“Junior. “Do you know anyone in the Greenbell family?”
Delet asked without much expectation.
Even if he was from the Wardanaz family in the Blue Dragon Tower, he could not be friendly with every noble family in the empire.
If you weren’t close, you couldn’t just knock on the door and ask to be treated as a guest in this situation. That was rude.
“wait a minute.”
‘no way… ‘
As Lee Han walked away like before, Direth was taken aback.
Really?
“It’s okay. “Let’s go in.”
“Were you friends?!”
“We’re not close, but we met last time…” Anyway, the story gets long, so let’s get into it first! “Let’s catch the undead first.”
“Yes, yes.”
Delet entered the mansion with a junior with suspiciously wide connections.
Even though they said that the undead had infiltrated, the mansion’s governor looked calm.
“There is nothing to worry about. In fact, we could have caught it even if the wizards hadn’t come to help.”
At those words, Gainando got angry for no reason.
“You’re saying that because you don’t know how strong and clever the undead are!”
“No matter how strong or smart you are, I don’t think you can beat the people in the mansion right now.”
“… Pfft! You may not know this, but Lee Han here is from the Wardanaz family and recently killed a basilisk with one blow… ”
“Shut up.”
‘????’
Feeling the look of astonishment from Direth, Lee Han made Gainando shut up.
At best, we visited as a favor to the other party, so what kind of competition are we having?
“It seems like there are some pretty amazing people out there… “Can I ask you a question?”
The Commander-in-Chief smiled and answered those words.
“There are knights from the White Tree Knights.”
* * *
Vikelintz, a knight of the White Tree Knights, felt a little sorry when he saw the apprentice knights behaving like they were possessed.
“I’m sorry. “Mr. Greenbell.”
“no. What do you have with something like this? “We are at an age when we can eat a lot.”
As Al-Adne said, the apprentice knights were at an age where they could find plenty of food.
As I was growing up and living as a knight, I was always hungry.
… But even taking that into account, it was a bit embarrassing to see him sticking his nose into a bowl of soup with one hand and picking up a piece of meat with the other.
‘I’ll have to preach after I get back.’
“I have heard a lot that apprentice knights of the White Tree Knights are training around the city these days. Is the training going well? “Do you need any help?”
“I’m just grateful that you treat me like this.”
Wikelinz answered politely.
The answer just now was sincere, but it also had a slightly hidden meaning.
Although Al-Adne seemed like a kind grandmother on the outside, she was by no means an easy person. There was no benefit to her in getting into unnecessary debt.
“Furthermore, the students from the knight family in Einrogard also came out for vacation, so we are having a positive influence on each other. “To the point where I have nothing to do.”
Competition always improves each other’s skills.
The students of the knightly family from Einrogard and the apprentice knights of the knightly order had a sense of competition with each other.
The apprentice knights of the White Tree Knights even directly confronted each other during the semester…
“Mr. Greenbell. There is an intruder in the mansion… ”
Al-Adneh’s expression hardened slightly upon hearing the report from the servant who hurriedly rushed over.
What kind of big thief would dare break into this mansion?
“Have you confirmed your identity?”
“The warlocks confirmed it. “It is said to be an undead chimera that escaped from near the cemetery.”
“It’s hard to believe what the warlocks say… ”
“These are students from Einrogard.”
“ah. “If that’s the case.”
Al-Adneh immediately changed his attitude.
Students from Einrogard had the right to say things like that.
“And one of them is the student of the Wardanaz family that Greenbell mentioned last time.”
“okay? “That’s surprising.”
Al-Adneh was surprised.
I didn’t expect Lee Han to be learning black magic.
Well, it was up to the individual to choose which magic to learn…
“I’m going to allow you to enter and treat you well. “Leave the undead chimera to the students.”
“Would it be okay?”
“That will be enough. You’re from the Wardanaz family, and you’ve seen his skills firsthand. Besides, think about why you came here.”
“Why did you come here?”
Instead of answering, Al-Adne just smiled.
Lee Han of the Wardanaz family was a student with genius talent and ambition to match.
Trampling down the wizard of Baldororn who dared to climb up, defeating a basilisk in front of the royal family, and even tracking down and defeating an evil otherworldly being as if that wasn’t enough.
Even if a wizard had outstanding abilities, it was meaningless if people did not recognize it.
In order to make full use of one’s talent, one also needed a reputation to match it.
In Al-Adneh’s view, Ihan of the Wardanaz family was building his reputation very calmly.
In the next few years, when discussing the Empire’s leading new wizards, it will not be surprising if Lee Han’s name is at the top.
That’s why it was better to let Lee Han catch the undead chimera now.
If you are considerate of the other person, they will remember that consideration.
Moreover, if Lee Han took away the prey he had chased all this way, it would be the same as arguing for a fight. He didn’t need to make such a prominent enemy.
“It’s a monster!!!”
“Do not worry! Greenbell! “We will step forward!”
“Sleep… ”
The apprentice knights of the Baekyang Tree Knights put down their bowls and raised their swords when they saw the monster visible from the window of the mansion.
And then he hurriedly ran out before Al-Adneh could stop him.
Vikelinz, who was suddenly left alone with Al-Adne, looked at her as he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
“crime… I am sorry. These people aren’t rude enough to behave as they please, but now that a monster has appeared… ”
“… … ”
Al-Adne paid no heed to Wikelinz’s words and cast a cold gaze.
* * *
bang!
One of the apprentice knights charged energetically. The undead chimera lost its balance and fell to the side due to a powerful body slam.
“He fell!”
“Cut off his legs so he can’t escape!”
The apprentice knights cheered and quickly surrounded the undead chimera. The movements were quick and accurate, as they had only touched hands and feet once or twice.
Lee Han and Delet were impressed.
“you are good?”
“you’re good.”
“ah… no! No! “Now those bastards have taken our prey!!”
Gainando shouted in bewilderment.
I couldn’t understand how the two of them could remain calm in such a ridiculous situation.
“Gainando. “Think about it carefully.”
“that’s right. Junior. What matters is not who caught it, but how well they prevented the damage the undead could have caused. Even if no one knows, we all know that no one got hurt thanks to the juniors here, right?”
Lee Han, who was nodding his head next to Dirette’s warm words, paused and looked puzzled.
“I didn’t mean it that way, did I?”
“uh? then?”
“Anyway, they are the ones who arbitrarily messed with what we were chasing, so if they get angry after they are all hunted, they will have no choice but to apologize for the sake of justification. Then we’ll have successfully hunted without lifting a finger. So you can leave it alone.”
“… Junior?!”
Delet was astonished by his junior’s political power.
Although I thought it was unusual, I couldn’t believe that they had completed such calculations in such a short period of time.
