Episode 098
“I thought it was a well-made ship.”
“… joy. “Do not flatter.”
Angago had to speak in a harsh voice to hide his happy expression.
Lee Han sighed inwardly.
‘It makes me sad that that ferry boat is the best option right now.’
Since I couldn’t learn the enchantment right now and couldn’t become friends with the ice spirit, that was the only way left.
What can I do even if it is unreliable? I’ll have to check it out sometime.
“How many people can ride?”
“You can comfortably carry 20 people!”
Angago’s confidence only had an even more counterproductive effect on Lee Han. Lee Han became even more anxious as he said such things about a ferry boat that could barely carry ten people.
“It just worked out well. Wardanaz. “Try it!”
Lee Han tried his best to remain calm. The already cold face became even colder.
Anrago flinched at that sight without realizing it.
‘… Did I speak too harshly?’
“Previously… First, I want to see you drive a boat. “If I or other people ride it, I won’t be able to drive it as freely as I can when I drive it alone.”
Angago responded very enthusiastically to Lee Han’s words.
He threw down his coat and immediately got on the ferry.
“Yes, just watch!”
Anrago held one of the beautifully carved oars in each hand and began to paddle skillfully.
A sailless ferry glided along the calm surface of the lake.
Anrago’s friend, who was watching, was amazed.
“Great, Angago!”
An Lago, gliding smoothly as if the lake was its own, seemed truly free.
The White Tiger Tower student felt a freedom that he had not felt in a long time when he saw Angago driving a ferry.
It almost felt like this was not a magic school, but a secluded and beautiful lake somewhere.
‘The water isn’t leaking.’
While the White Tiger Top friends were intoxicated with romance, Lee Han was analyzing calmly.
First of all, the most important thing was that the ferryboat did not leak water.
And even though I was wandering around the lake for over ten minutes, there were no monsters or skeleton principals attacking me. This meant that it was a fairly safe situation.
“What do you think, Wardanaz? Would you acknowledge Anrago’s skills?”
“I’m sorry. “That can’t happen yet.”
“Why!”
“Everyone can drive well when there is only one person driving it. But can it really be driven like that even with one more person on board?”
In response to Lee Han’s provocation, Angago’s friend shouted in an angry voice.
“Ango! “Wardanaz is asking if I can show the same skills after picking me up?”
“joy. of course!”
Angago immediately brought the ferry boat up to the lakeside.
Then he picked up his friend and shouted.
“Watch carefully, Wardanaz!”
“Is that really the case? “Even with one more person on board, it’s impossible to drive like before.”
Lee Han deliberately encouraged Angago. Anrago responded very effectively.
“Stay tuned!”
Angago raced across the lake, cutting through the current even more violently than before. He was rowing so hard that he was sweating profusely and his arm muscles were swelling.
For more than twenty minutes, Lee Han cheered on Angago by saying things like, ‘We don’t know yet,’ ‘You can do that in just a few minutes,’ and ‘Your skills might be revealed soon.’
After roughly checking everything he wanted to check, Lee Han nodded.
‘Contrary to what I thought, I might be able to become friends with the White Tiger Tower guys.’
* * *
“omg… omg… Huff, huff… Did you see… this… My skills… ”
“okay. “I admit my defeat.”
Angago tried to scream in joy at Lee Han’s words, but was too exhausted to do so.
Just lying down on the grass and panting.
Only after resting for a while was Anrago able to regain his strength and get up.
“Then let me ride it too.”
“… also?”
Anrago let out a weak sound without realizing it.
Several rounds of hard work had made Angago fearful.
When the opponent hesitated, Lee Han simply cheered him on.
“I’m not confident… ”
“Get in!”
Anrago jumped up and got on the ferry. Anlago’s friend, Dukema, asked with a worried expression.
“Wouldn’t it be better to leave the country?”
“Dukema! “Do you not trust me?”
“… sorry. Angago. “I have disregarded your honor!”
“Leave quickly.”
Lee Han said in a sad voice. He didn’t really care whether the two knights were friendly or not.
‘Check the location of the island first.’
Now that I knew that the ship was fairly safe, I planned to check the location of the island and secure a route to get there.
Angago gritted his teeth and started rowing. The ferry boat glided across the lake once again.
Lee Han frowned and concentrated to see the things above the lake.
‘It would have been nice to have a telescope.’
It would have been much easier if I had known how to use artifacts or magic.
Lee Han suddenly remembered what he had heard from Allarlong.
-A swordsman who has reached the level uses magical power to activate and strengthen his body. Although it is not as sophisticated and systematic a power as magic, it can be said to be a powerful enough power in a melee where life and death are at stake.
If that was true, I didn’t know if eye power could be strengthened with magical power.
Lee Han raised his magical power.
It was not yet at a stage where it was possible to control and circulate the magic power within the body at will and strengthen a single body organ.
Instead, Lee Han had magical power that could be wasted infinitely.
Lee Han just released his magical power as if it were expelling it from his entire body. The magic power concentrated in the eyeball was released, temporarily strengthening vision.
“?!?!”
The two students next to him were taken aback when Lee Han suddenly exuded a violent energy.
When I thought about it, this was on a lake.
If someone dies, it’s good to throw away the body… !
Pot!
The two White Tiger Tower students hastily grabbed the wooden sword. I couldn’t die like this.
At that moment, Lee Han shouted.
“found!”
“??”
“I found the island.”
“what?! “How did you find it!”
Anrago was surprised.
Even when the ferryboat was built and even after it was launched, no trace of the island was found.
Before I went further, I thought it was absolutely impossible…
“I was lucky. “But why are you holding a wooden sword?”
“… … ”
“… Well, I was startled by a sudden shout… “It’s a habit.”
“You’re more scared than I thought.”
The White Tiger Tower students were in tears.
It’s because you suddenly unleashed magical power!
* * *
Lee Han carefully recorded the directions.
“Let’s go back first. “I checked the direction, so I can come back next time.”
“okay. i get it.”
Angago was secretly happy.
My muscles had been screaming since a while ago.
“100 million.”
Because of his lack of strength, Anrago rowed his oar in vain.
‘what?’
Angago, who had been strained, flinched as it felt like he had stabbed something soft with a paddle.
with a splash-
“… ???”
And I soon found out what had stabbed me.
A bulging, shape-changing lump of water protruded from beneath the surface of the lake.
The energy of the spirit can be felt.
It was a water spirit.
Hiss!
The water spirit shot out sharp water thorns. Lee Han kicked Dukema’s back and knocked him down.
A thorn in the water narrowly grazed Dukema’s head and flew away.
“mi… sorry! Wodanaz! “I-I touched the water spirit!”
“Ango! “What did you do!”
Dukema, who fell forward, shouted in a shocked voice.
You made the water spirit angry on the lake. It was an unbelievable mistake.
‘no… ‘You don’t seem angry.’
Unlike the two who were embarrassed, Lee Han calmly observed the water spirit.
Although its spirit was fierce, it was a much weaker spirit compared to the intimidating feeling radiated by spirits like Perkuntra.
It was clear that it was not a high-level spirit, as it lacked proper communication skills.
And the emotions felt from the spirit…
fear!
Lee Han did not understand why the water spirit was afraid of them.
Does it make sense to be afraid of being hit by a paddle?
‘… shit.’
Lee Han clicked his tongue.
I realized why the water spirit was like that.
The culprit was not Angago but Ihan.
The spirit in the water was frightened because he unleashed his magic energy to find the island earlier.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The frightened spirit fired a water thorn to drive away Lee Han.
The White Tiger Tower students screamed at the terrifying attack, but Lee Han waved his staff and fought back without even blinking.
With a dull bursting sound, the water beads that shot out of the lake accurately intercepted the thorn.
‘It may seem threatening at first glance, but in reality it is not that strong.’
The White Tiger Tower students were deceived by its appearance, but it was an attack that could have been easily avoided or blocked if they had reacted calmly.
To Lee Han, who had blocked Professor Boladi’s attacks several times, the thorns shot out by the spirit were no longer a threat.
‘this… This guy… ‘
Angago was more surprised by Lee Han than the angry spirit.
It was unbelievable that we came in together and learned together.
What kind of training did the Wardanaz family teach to create such an emotionless fighting machine?
Lee Han turned his head and looked down at Angago expressionlessly.
A spooky spike of water was flying towards us, but Anrago’s heart sank as he bounced it away without even looking at it.
“Come to your senses and wake up. “I need your strength.”
“me… “You don’t blame me?”
“… … ”
For a moment, Lee Han wondered what that meant.
‘ah. ‘You think it’s your fault.’
Anrago seemed to think that the reason the water spirit was acting like that was because he had hit him with an oar.
I can’t believe you made that mistake.
“It’s your fault. But everyone can make mistakes.”
In that case, there was no need for Lee Han to correct it.
“What matters is what you do next.”
Angago was moved without even realizing it.
I never thought there would come a day in my life when I would be so moved by the words of that guy Wardanaz… !
“okay. “Leave it to me!”
Anrago stood up with his sword drawn.
Then Lee Han said as if asking what he was doing.
“What are you doing?”
“… Wasn’t it supposed to make you throw away the thorns? “With my sword skills?”
“no. “Row.”
“… … ”
Anrago sat down again. And he took hold of the oar.
Meanwhile, the water spirit realized that no attack would work on that monstrous being.
The trembling water spirit made a different choice.
“… for a moment!”
Lee Han noticed it late and urgently tried to stop him, but the water spirit had already started calling other friends.
“Shield, unfold!”
Lee Han spread his shield wide instead of the water beads.
The frightened water spirits began targeting the ferry boat, not Lee Han.
‘Cowardly spirit bastards.’
Lee Han vowed that he would never let down his guard when he encounters the water spirit in the future.
Lee Han maintained his cool as he thickened the water shield, but the two white tiger tower knights screamed as the water thorns continued to fly and hit them.
You never know when the thorns that fiercely fly and hit you beyond the opaque water shield will pierce through.
I was more scared because Lee Han seemed relaxed.
Aren’t you scared?!
‘Professor Boladi will shed tears when he sees this.’
Lee Han was dumbfounded at the sight of the spirits attacking in a straight line without any change.
At this point, you should know that you can’t penetrate the water shield, but you keep doing the same attack.
As the fierce battle unfolded, the speed of the ferry gradually increased.
I began to distance myself from the frightened spirits.
“… for a moment. “Where are you driving?”
Lee Han realized that there was a ferry boat running on the other side of the lake.
Because Angago rowed frantically, he came towards the island.
