Chapter 616

Episode 616

“That’s right. If you hate fighting, wouldn’t a wizard suit you better than a knight?”

Not knowing Lee Han’s inner thoughts, Alcicle persuaded him as if it was a good thing.

Indeed, like a person who has never been to Einroguard, he spoke nonsense with confidence.

“Because a knight sheds blood and sweat every day and wields iron. On the other hand, mages can do research in the workshop as much as they want.”

“Mmm.”

“??”

When Lee Han let out a quiet voice instead of agreeing, Alcicle looked at him as if asking why.

“Is a wizard really a job suitable for someone who hates fighting?”

“!?”

Alcicle was taken aback by the appearance of Lee Han who suddenly said something embarrassing.

“Why are you doing this? Aren’t we supposed to convince him?”

“That’s true, but I wonder if Einrogard is a place suitable for people who don’t like fighting.”

“Well, how much will I fight! hey. Look here. I will meet monsters every weekend!”

“Einrogard will meet monsters every two days…” “

……”

Alcicle was speechless.

what…?

Lee Han, who was worried, looked at the prospective junior and asked.

“Are you interested in magic?”

“That…that’s…”

“It’s okay to be honest. I have no intention of forcibly dragging you.”

“There are.”

Ulgan looked up and said.

At first glance, they seemed to be great wizards, but I wondered if it could be said that a woodcutter like him was interested in magic.

However, Lee Han and Alcicle did not scold or ridicule at all. Rather, I asked as if it was good.

“oh. okay? If you’re interested, that’s great. What kind of magic are you interested in?”

“Among those wizards, there are those who cast magic on axes and limbs, right?”

“Enchantment magic… Among them, it must be an enhancement type specialization.”

“It’s traditional. I heard that people from the White Tiger Tower are usually good at that school?”

Lee Han and Alcicle were intrigued and had a conversation.

Ulgan, who was encouraged by the sight, said more.

“There is more than that.”

“It’s good. tell me anything.”

“The spirit…”

“Do you want to make a contract with the spirit?”

“no. I also want to learn magic to banish spirits. It’s because it gets in the way of logging. I also want to make a potion that kills trees at once. Sometimes the living trees are annoying…”

“……”

“……”

‘I’ll never let you meet Illendil-senpai.’

Lee Han made a promise to himself at the potential of his junior, who seemed to destroy the forests of Ein Rogard.

“Wolgan. As someone who attends Ein Lorgard, I’ll be honest. It’s not an environment where Ein Rogard won’t fight. It’s as wide as a mountain range here, so monsters roam around.”

“ah. I heard you.”

Ulgan nodded.

He knew about the rumors of Ein Rogard because he had heard from hunters from the patrol who came to visit from time to time.

“It’s incredibly spacious!”

“yes.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“The senior from the Shadow Patrol Hunter is popular as the chief and the professors are all trying to make him his disciple!”

‘Was there such a person?’

Lee Han was puzzled.

“sorry. I don’t know all the seniors. Anyway, as wide as it is, you can’t completely avoid a fight. You can go into the mountains and collect alchemy materials and encounter monsters. Sometimes the principal attacks me.”

“Really…yes?”

Ulgan wondered if he had heard it wrong.

Or it’s a joke unique to seniors.

“understand. Thank you for your comments. Of course I hate fighting!”

Ulgan clenched his fists.

Alcicle and Lee Han unknowingly leaned back.

“But neither does running away from the inevitable fight. The northern woodcutter is not a coward!”

“Good idea, good idea!”

Alcicle moved his wings and clapped.

Seeing this young wizard’s determination, persuasion seemed easy.

“If that’s the case, Einrogard will welcome you!”

“that’s right. That’s what I said, so there’s no way to avoid a fight in Einrogard. If you focus only on your studies, you won’t have much to fight for. Actually, I don’t like fighting very much either.”

Eandurde, who was listening while sleeping next to him, looked at him with surprised eyes, but Yihan did not notice.

“indeed. You don’t like fighting too much.”

“I am a total pacifist.”

“Uh, you’re bagreck… no.”

Alcicle was about to say, ‘Aren’t you a Baegrek disciple?’

It wasn’t polite to bring up such a topic in front of other people.

Kwadeuk!

“!”

Hearing the roar from afar, Lee Han immediately pulled out his staff and cast a spell.

“You feet, fold the ground!”

At the same time, the body was blown to the side and rolled. It was to distract the target in the event of a long-range attack.

“……”

Alcicle made a complicated expression when he saw Lee Han reacting that way to the sound of breaking wood.

“The tree is broken.”

“Is that so? I again.”

Lee Han brushed himself off and stood up.

It was as natural as breathing.

“no! It is a real monster!!”

Urgan shouted urgently and grabbed the axe.

A ghost tree appeared from behind the broken tree.

The ghost tree, a monster in which an evil spirit moves in a form combined with a tree rather than a spiritual body, has always been a threat to woodcutters.

As much as the act of cutting trees itself shakes the order and balance of the forest, there was no choice but to create such monsters.

“I will stand in front. Everyone, please help from behind!”

At Ulgan’s words, Lee Han shook his head and said.

“no. I’ll stand in front, so Alcicle-sama will help from behind.”

At Lee Han’s words, Eandurde shook her head and said.

“me! I stand in front!”

“???”

Urgan was taken aback by the fact that he favored the avant-garde too much for a mage.

Isn’t it normal for wizards to support magic from behind?

“To stay behind. Junior.”

“Hing.”

“What are you doing? Anyway, if you go to Einrogard, you will meet the ghost tree again, so fight it then. Leave it to me now.”

Still, as a senior, Lee Han couldn’t let his juniors take the lead.

He cast and , and even chanted .

“Be aware, space…”

“…do you usually cast all those spells when fighting?”

“Will you?”

Lee Han did not know why Alcicle was asking.

Why would a lion go all out to catch a rabbit?

The correct answer was ‘because you don’t know what Einrogard’s rabbit would do’.

The rabbit could teleport, spew deadly poison, or cast an evil curse, so it was only right to be prepared as much as possible.

‘A guy with a lot of magic is on a different level!’

Alcicle stuck out his tongue inwardly.

It was surprising to see him casually committing waste that would have been frightening to other wizards.

Isn’t it an ability to receive rave reviews if you participate in the battlefield as a battle mage?

-■■■…

As the ghost tree approached, Lee Han lightly fired a water octopus.

The ghost tree stumbled with a dull sound. The rotating water marbles shocked the inside with a bloody sound.

At the same time, Lee Han grabbed the morning star in one hand and rushed at it. As the black magnet sword slashed past, the evil spirit inside the tree howled in pain.

‘Absorb magical energy!’

Alcicle was surprised to see the blade of the morning star extracting mana from the opponent’s monster.

And I was surprised once more when I realized that Lee Han was wielding the Morning Star.

‘No, why does a wizard use such an artifact…’

Magical absorption equipment was close to a taboo for wizards.

There are many wizards who don’t want to use items that affect the flow of magic right now, but even magic absorption equipment.

The ghost tree tried to counterattack with a creepy sound. The long branch waved like a whip and threatened Lee Han.

However, when the counterattack came, Lee Han had already distanced himself.

The simple movement of the opponent with the foreknowledge magic and spatial awareness magic was at the level of the palm of the hand.

hooked!

Lee Han quickly finished off the ghost tree without giving Alcicle a chance to support.

Aiming for the collapsed balance due to the counterattack, after blowing a water octane, I hit the fallen one.

Returning from the morning star, Lee Han said in a pleased voice when Ulgan stared at him.

“You said you were interested in strengthening magic, right? You must have liked the magic you just saw.”

However, the junior spoke in a timid voice.

“Seeing you fight, I’m worried if I’ll be able to adapt well in Einrogard…” ”

?!”

Even the pacifist senior who didn’t like fighting was like that, so he was suddenly worried that someone like him would be able to hold on well.

* * *

“That’s how we succeeded in getting funding for … it

was highly likely that other subsidies were inflated.

“I am not saying this because he is my disciple, but he really deserves the title of bureaucrat slayer. It will be easier for you to receive support if you nurture talent like this.”

“…Well, we will compete with our skills.”

The knights were envious but did not express themselves. If I expressed myself here, my self-esteem was hurt.

“You sound like a skill. How much did Ein Rogard devote to the Empire? But the bureaucrats are only thinking of stealing the gold coins.”

‘Aren’t you thinking about the damage Einrogard has done to the empire?’

‘If you really received a subsidy for , you shouldn’t say things like that!’

“you’re right. What bureaucrats!”

Even if they had different thoughts in their minds, the knights agreed for the time being.

Because they also had a lot of bad memories about the imperial officials.

In particular, the stinginess of bureaucrats was always a target for knights who had a lot of work to do to fight monsters in a harsh environment like the North.

“Last time, I lasted for about half a year at the fortress, but these kids didn’t apply even once. I think I can survive with the supplies I have stockpiled!”

“yes.”

“I asked because there were not enough wizards, and they said that the magic criminals had escaped and we should prioritize them!”

“hmm. The bureaucrats must have had circumstances.”

“!?”

The knights were taken aback by the appearance of the headmaster who suddenly changed his attitude.

“dismissal.”

Nogisa, who was watching for an opportunity, intervened when the conversation paused.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand the skeleton headmaster’s intentions.

“May I ask why you share this wisdom with us?”

‘wisdom?’

The knights next to me wondered what kind of wisdom transmission this was, but couldn’t get it out of their mouths.

With the power of Lord Gonadaltes, even nonsense becomes wisdom.

“I wonder why you continue to be kind to me when we are dumb and unable to understand your intentions.”

“hmm. Maybe it’s time to tell you.”

When the skeleton headmaster nodded, Nogisa listened.

What was the meaning of this conversation?

At that time, Lee Han and his party came up from below with Ulgan.

“principal. My junior said he would join Ein Rogard.”

“Good job. It’s a bureaucratic destroyer.”

“Don’t call me by that nickname.”

“Now that it’s done, let’s go. It was fun talking to everyone.”

Headmaster Skeleton stood up lightly, encouraged the knights, and happily left with Lee Han and his party.

The knights only glared at his back with astonished eyes.

‘I got hit!’
