Episode 776
Lee Han, whose true feelings were discovered, threw out a few names as if he were looking for a baby basilisk.
Starting with the quite grandiose âJormungandâ, âOuroborosâ, and âCaduceusâ, to familiar names such as âThe Pitâ, âCainandoâ, and âSyanaâ.
-Hmph. I think itâs all bad.
âhmm. âCan I just call you Basil until I think of a better name?â
Lee Han, who was becoming increasingly annoyed, spoke with the intention of deceiving the baby basilisk.
If you first call him Basil and then keep calling him Eoyeongbuyeong, the name will stick.
-Yes, I like it!
Although the baby basilisk was highly intelligent, it could not defeat the Einrogard student who was trained in scheming.
Basil excitedly waggled his tail, unaware of Lee Hanâs evil intentions.
-When will we see that evil wizard again?
â?â
Lee Han was puzzled when the baby basilisk asked in an innocent manner.
âWho the hell is this evil wizard talking about?â
I donât think it would be enough to line up a line from the main gate of Einrogardâs main building to the main gate of the estateâ¦
âWho?â
The baby basilisk answered as if it didnât know why.
-The person who hits the owner.
ââ¦So who?â
The baby basilisk was about to respond, but made a squeaking sound as if the snack it had just eaten got stuck in its throat.
Lee Han looked sad and poured milk into a small bowl.
âYou should have eaten slowly.â
-yes? What if someone takes it away?
ââ¦â¦â
âI guess I should cancel the idea that I was highly intelligent.â
The baby basilisk eagerly licked the bowl of milk, not even dreaming that its owner had lowered its intelligence rating by several notches.
âSo who were you talking about?â
Instead of answering, the baby basilisk continued licking the bowl. Even though it has been empty for a long time in Lee Hanâs eyes.
Lee Han retrieved the bowl. Then the baby basilisk looked at Lee Han with eyes that felt like the sky had collapsed.
âOf course I should have eaten faster!â
âYou ate it allâ¦â
-There was leftover!
âThere arenât any left.â
Even though I explained it by showing the bottom of the bowl, the baby basilisk did not break its stubbornness.
Only after shedding tears and tapping her tail on the floor of the desk several times did the baby basilisk accept the fact that its bowl was empty.
-That scary wizard.
ââ¦Basil. You need to get into the habit of speaking specifically. Letâs start with tribe.â
-Vampire.
âah. âItâs Professor Baggrek.â
Lee Han understood right away.
Well, it was natural for the baby basilisk to be afraid of Professor Boladi.
I tried to force him to grow up and fight with Lee Hanâ¦
âI wonât meet you today.â
-What about tomorrow?
âWould you like some more milk?â
Lee Han quietly avoided answering and refilled the bowl with milk. The baby basilisk cheered and slammed its head into the bowl again.
-Gulp That other scary wizardâ¦
âEat and talk.â
The baby basilisk clucked eagerly and emptied its bowl once again. The baby basilisk said, looking at the bowl with regret.
-When will the other scary wizards disappear?
âwho? Wait a minute, when will it disappear? âIs this the person you were with?â
Lee Han wondered if he was referring to Rosieâs professor.
-Snake beastman.
ââ¦Why Priest Shianna? âIâm not a bad person.â
-Whatâ¦! They tried to force the poison out of me!
The baby basilisk fluttered its body in protest.
Even thinking about it now, I was scared.
âah. âIt was like that.â
Come to think of it, when the baby basilisk was born, Sianna approached her holding a large brass syringe with a sharpened tip.
It was an alchemistâs tool used to extract liquid by inserting it into plants or animals, but to the eyes of a newborn basilisk, it must have looked like a torture device.
And it could actually be used as a torture toolâ¦
âHeâs not a bad person. âI just said he was an alchemist.â
-Are all kite alchemists scary people?
âhmm. In some ways, it might be a little like that.â
Lee Han, who was teaching common sense to a baby basilisk, suddenly became curious.
When I thought about it, there were a few things I couldnât ask because I couldnât understand them until now.
âBasil. âDo you have any abilities that you can use now?â
-I can swing my tail!
The baby basilisk swung its tail. Lee Han applauded carelessly.
âAnything else than that?â
-Drinking milk?
ââ¦What about evil eyes?â
The Basiliskâs famous bloodline ability was the magical eye imbued with the curse of petrification.
The deadly poison that drains life with its breath was famous, but its unique poison would be useful in many ways.
-I can write!
â!â
Lee Han looked at the baby basilisk with admiring eyes.
I thought he was just sucking magic out of his sleeves all the time, but I never guessed that his abilities were blossoming in their own way.
âreally?â
-I donât want to use it. I donât want to use it. Itâs hard to writeâ¦
âIâm not saying you have to write it. haha. I was just asking. âIt must still be difficult because I havenât grown up.â
In Lee Hanâs opinion, it seemed unlikely that a baby basilisk that had not yet fully grown would be able to use the magical eye often.
It will definitely put a strain on your body.
âWhat about poison?â
-Wait. It⦠profit.
The baby basilisk grunted and produced just a little bit of poison.
Then he cried because he was hungry.
â Ugh. Iâm so hungryâ¦
ââ¦have some more snacks here.â
Lee Han quickly put a drop of poison into a vial and held out a snack.
Lee Han asked as he watched the baby basilisk wrapping its body around the snack with excitement.
âNow that I think about it, is it better to feed it like this? âMore than horsepower?â
-I like both!
âhmm. I guess I should also add âI have a strong appetiteâ.â
When Lee Han later applied for a grant, he thought that if he were to write a Basilisk document, he would have to add âThe Appetite is Strongâ as well.
âreally. âWhen will you grow up?â
-Ubboob?
The baby basilisk, which had been devouring its food for a long time, blinked.
âThereâs something about getting bigger.â
gulp!
-I thinkâ¦
âYou have to grow bigger so you donât have to hang on to your arms and can walk around separately.â
-â¦Iâm not getting any bigger. I am a special basilisk that does not grow.
ââ¦â¦â

Shiles went out the door after the lecture and felt a little sorry when he saw Lee Han from afar.
âUm⦠I thought you were going to learn Basilisk language?â
When I think about it, Wardanaz gave me so much, but I refused without even learning the Basilisk language.
It was rude and ungrateful behavior.
Of course, Wyvern language was a very useful monster language, but Basilisk language might also be useful someday.
âBut what is it really useful for?â
Unless something like a basilisk carriage appearsâ¦
âWardanaz!â
âuh. Shiles? wait for a sec.â
Lee Han hissed into his sleeve as his friend approached him.
Shiles looked at it and was puzzled.
âWhat did you just do?â
âI said you were not an alchemist. To the basilisk.â
âindeed. ⦠Wait, you said that to the Basilisk!?â
Shiles couldnât believe his ears.
Then Lee Han sighed and explained to Shiles.
âShiles. âThe Basil here is not a dangerous monsterâ¦â
âAh no, Iâm not surprised because thereâs a basilisk??â
Most of his friends already knew that Lee Han was raising basilisks.
At first, my friends were like, âDonât talk bullshitâ or âDo you think everyone will believe me because they put wardanaz on the front?â but then one or two of them started to get the hang of it and started to shake things up and say things like âI think they really are raising oneâ or âIsnât it just a pet snake?â âItâs a Basilisk,â he resigned, thinking, âI wonât be surprised if Wardanaz raises dragons in the future.â
âfor a moment. âWhy did you say you werenât an alchemist?â
âI have a long story. So why? âI have to go to the next lecture.â
Shiles got teary-eyed at the sight of his friend trying to go to the next lecture, ignoring the break.
âfor a moment. âI didnât mean to talk about this.â
Shiles came to his senses and asked.
âYou said Basilisk, then?â
âah. Originally, I communicated with Basilisk often and practiced music magic, so it was a bit easier.â
ââ¦So you did it anyway?â
âDid you? So, you said it.â
âindeed.â
Shiles nodded.
Thanks to this, the feeling of regret I just felt has completely disappeared.
âBy any chance, Shiles. Are you interested in the Basilisk language? Great. âIf you want to learn, come here with Basilâ¦â
âIâm going to learn wyvern. âOkay then!â
Seeing his black turtle top friend turning away coldly, Lee Han grumbled that he didnât know any grace.
* * *
âWardanaz student! âI heard you were kidnapped, but itâs good to see you healthy!â
Professor Djorjic of the Benmalfa family greeted him with his usual voice full of passion and energy.
Perhaps due to his mood, his stylishly grown seagull-shaped mustache seemed to be flapping more vigorously today.
âhello. Professor Benmalpa. âIâm glad you care.â
âokay! âI was really worried.â
âUh, Professor⦠did you also participate?â
Lee Han wondered if Professor Djorjic was actually among the three professors who came to rescue him.
Although it was not visible, given the personalities of Professors Garcia and Boladi, they could have kidnapped Professor Jorgic as well.
âWhat do you mean?â
âno.â
âI donât know what youâre talking about, but I was busy with other things! Wardanaz student. âI wrote a letter to His Majesty the Emperor!â
âyes??â
Lee Han was surprised.
Who did you write what to?
âI wrote a fancy letter to take responsibility for your kidnapping and ask that Jorgic of the Benmalfa family should be the next headmaster.â
In response, Lee Han gave a look of disdain.
He uses his studentâs tragedy as a stepping stone for his own ambitions!
âI think we should withdraw from the group .â
Professor Djorjic, trapped in his ambition, muttered, not realizing that he had fallen to a similar position to Professor Verdus among his students.
âBut the Death Knights confiscated it⦠what a shame. How can I send a letter through their surveillance?â
âIf you find a way, please tell me. professor.â
âhaha! Donât worry. As the next principal of Einrogard, I canât afford to not be able to listen to the next professorâs request! Then shall we begin the lecture? Letâs go in, Student Wardanaz!â
âyes.â
Lee Han followed the professorâs instructions and entered Won Sooâs room.
Then I suddenly felt something strange and stopped.
âWhat did you just sayâ¦â
Squeak!
âAhh! The water element is running wild!!â
âGet out of the way.â
Lee Han waved his wand and chanted a spell to gain control as water shot out in all directions from the nearby waterfall.
As the water element was the most familiar and familiar element, I was confident even if another wizard made a mistake and caused it to go berserk.
âGreat! Wodanaz!â
âThe thunderbolt exploded! âEveryone be careful!â
âWhy are you like this today?â
Of course, since the elemental room is a place where elemental energy flows strongly, there is a high possibility that students will accidentally run away while practicing, but today was a bit unlucky.
Lee Han ran here and there with his seniors to control the lightning element.
âHuh⦠Hah. thank you âWardanaz senior.â
âyes?â
âah. thatâs right. You were in second grade. In an instant. haha.â
ââ¦â¦â
Because he was running around so frantically, Lee Han forgot what Professor Djorjic had just said.
Professor Djorjic, who watched with satisfaction as the students settled down, waved his cane to tidy up the surroundings and instructed them to practice again.
âCome on student Wardanaz! âHow was the method of applying fire magic to your body last time?â
âIâm not sure because I was kidnapped after that.â
âindeed! Itâs okay. This can be happen. Just do it again.â
Professor Djorjic exclaimed passionately.
The effort to teach an outstanding student was only a very minor one.
Aden Arth, who was next to him, looked at the two in astonishment upon hearing that they were lighting the fire again.
âBut before that, try casting some fire magic. âI want to see how much of a difference there is!â
âyes.â
Lee Han most recently casted , which he practiced while being attacked by a crazy 5th grade senior.
Professor Djorjic was puzzled by the clean and stable casting.
âno? âItâs so much better!â
âItâs because I just practiced this.â
âThen try other magic!â
Lee Han cast several hypocrisy fire spells.
Lee Han paused as the fire elemental magic was cast reliably, unlike usual.
ââ¦uh?â
âIt looks like youâve overcome the problem?â
ââ¦I think so.â
âHmm! Interesting. What was the reason?â
Professor Djorjic wrote on a piece of paper, âRegular burning at the stake?â I found it interesting, writing things like âKidnapped by the clone of an ancient wizard?â
Which of these was the cause?
