Episode 781
âUgh. done. âLetâs set up camp.â
Gainando spoke with a sullen expression, not knowing that Rafadel was inwardly astonished.
No matter what I did, the world seemed gray because of the summoned beast that had now been reverse-summoned.
âThis bastard. Are you suddenly trying to act dignified by yourselfâ¦! âCowardly!â
âWhat are you talking about? Letâs set up camp. Do you want to see Lee Han get angry?â
Gainando was dumbfounded when Rafadel said something different.
I was already distraught because one of my summons had been reverse-summoned, so what kind of nonsense was this?
âKeuuk. âDonât think itâs over.â
âDid he drink something wrong?â
Gainando wondered if his friend had inhaled hallucinogenic powder while passing through the forest area.
Why do you keep talking nonsenseâ¦
âCall a summoner and dig around here.â
By the time you reach the second year of Einrogard, you have the ability to camp anywhere, regardless of whether you are a noble or a slave.
Gainando checked the surrounding terrain and pointed with his finger to make a request. It was convenient in many ways to have a small moat dug near the campsite.
âWouldnât your summons be more comfortable? Because heâs biggerâ¦â
âWas there such a thing?â
Kainando played it cool. Of course, it didnât work on Rafadel.
After signing the contract, it was not easy for Guy Nando to forget it as he boasted about it 131 times a day.
âA big guy with spiked gloves. âHe would be a good fit for something like this.â
âI donât know.â
âthatâs right! Thorn Revenant. âIt was that kind of name.â
ââ¦Iâve been countersummoned! Thatâs it!â
Gainando was so upset that he threw the bone.
Despite being hit in the face with a bone, Rafadel was embarrassed instead of angry.
The undead summon was completely destroyed and was reverse-summoned.
This was quite important to the warlock.
Not only did it take quite a while to recover, but even if it did, it was difficult to know whether the contract would be maintained.
The undead summons were mean and violent and did not understand the wizardsâ situation well.
âWas it that intense? sorry.â
ââ¦itâs okay. âDo the work for me.â
âI canât either.â
âwhat? âWhat are you talking about?â
Gainando was puzzled when Rafadel hesitated.
As Rafael was also a member of the black magic school, there were contracted summons.
âWere you reverse summoned too?â
âNo⦠thatâs not it.â
âThen what is it?â
ââ¦Oh, you look tired today, so I want to let you rest.â
ââ¦â¦â
Gainando couldnât believe his ears.
The undead pet looks tired and I want to give it a rest.
â¦What the hell is thisâ¦?
âWhat⦠what are you talking about? âIs this what the contract says?â
âNo⦠there was no such contract.â
âThen order it.â
âYouâre pitifulâ¦â
ââ¦How much do you care about your undead summons??â
Gaynando was shocked.
Of all the warlocks I have ever seen, Rafael was taking care of his summoned beast with the greatest care!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYou said black magic was a means! âWhen I signed a contract with an undead summoner, I said I was just hiring them to get to know the enemy!â
âThatâs what you meant to do!â
âThen call me! âWhat are you doing to get some rest?â
âThis⦠okay. Itâs meant to catch you off guard and deceive you. If you treat me well, Iâll let down my guardâ¦â
ââ¦Youâre lying!! âYouâre telling me to believe that!â
Guynando and Rafael fought for nearly 10 minutes with arguments like âAdmit that you like the undeadâ and âNo, I hate the undead.â
And then they admitted that they were running parallel paths.
âHuh huh huh⦠okay. Neither of us should use summonsâ¦â
âThatâs right. Iâm glad you understand. ⦠Then how are you going to sell the surroundings?â
âAre you good at dirt magic?â
âNo⦠you?â
âIâm also good at earth magicâ¦â
The two looked at each other.
There was only one way left.
* * *
â??â
âWhy are you doing that with the shovel?â
Friends working on the other side were puzzled as they looked at Guynando and Rafadel.
Why is the wizard doing that with a shovel?
âItâs the secret of black magic.â
âWell⦠really?â
My friends thought there might be a summons in black magic, but they passed on it for now.
Because they had too much work to do and they didnât know much about black magic.
ââ¦Why are you doing that with a shovel?â
Of course, even Lee Han could not be fooled. Lee Han looked at Rafadel with puzzled eyes.
Even if itâs because Gainando doesnât have any summons, why even that guy?
ââ¦I, too, was actually reverse-summonedâ¦â
âLee Han! âThis bastard says he wonât make his pet work today because he looks like heâs having a hard time!â
âhey!â
Rafael was shocked, but Lee Han had already heard everything.
Lee Han looked at Rafadel with eyes of astonishment.
âI see. Rapadel. I understand you. âWell, itâs good to save on summons.â
-and! What a good warlock!
âno! âNo!â
Rafadel felt even more embarrassed when he spoke to me warmly, thinking that it would have been better to just laugh at him.
The descendants of the Gral family are misunderstood as lovers of the undead!
âIâm really saying this so I can use it later!â
âOkay⦠I understandâ¦â
Lee Han left Rafadel crying behind him and checked the campsite.
âAnyway, the quality seems to go up every time I do it.â
Unlike other grades that play separately from each other, the current Einrogard second graders have a lot of experience working together (forcedly) in crisis situations.
Maybe thatâs why it seemed like the level was getting higher and higher when we created camps like this together.
In the past, people would dig a hole in front, sprinkle powder to prevent poisonous insects or snakes, use large rocks as windbreaks, and gather around the campfire⦠The
current campsite is a moat dug at a neat angle, water mixed with an expulsion potion flows, and the campsite walls are tightly built. A warning spell was placed on it, and a high watchtower was built inside to send a signal so that students who had not yet arrived could see itâ¦
âArenât the walls of the camp too rough?â
âShall we change the color with magic?â
Everyone seemed to have some free time, starting with students who wanted to paint and decorate the camp wall, and even students who wanted to place a monument at the entrance.
ââ¦I wonder if I really need to draw a picture of a skeleton principal.â
Lee Han shook his head as he watched his friends painting a mural of defeating evil skeletons on the wall surrounding the camp.
It was a waste of stamina and magical power, but I couldnât stop him because he liked it so much.
âWardanaz. This way! this way!â
After finishing work on their own area, the friends made tea inside the camp and called out to Lee Han. A pot on top of a small campfire was boiling and making a bubbling sound.
âWe were talking about tents. âIt would be convenient to have a tent with space magic.â
The campground was a lot better now than before, but the friends were still aiming high.
How comfortable would it be if you could place tents with space expansion magic inside your campsite?
At that point, there was no longer a need for such a large task. It would be enough to simply block off the surrounding area and stay inside the tent.
Lee Han was slightly impressed by that sight.
âI didnât think much of it. âI canât believe everyone is so proactive.â
âI guess so. But space magic artifacts are really difficult to make. âDo you have a plan?â
Making a large artifact itself was difficult, and space magic was also difficult, so it was difficult for even Einroguard students to obtain it.
âHehe. there is! Wodanaz!â
âoh. what? Are you collaborating with your seniors to make it together?â
Lee Han felt rewarded for the first time in his life listening to magic from various schools.
If it was a project like this, Lee Han wanted to do it too and felt like he could play an active part in it.
âI really want to have a tent with space expansion magic.â
âIf I were to work, I would like to use Seonggak-gwanâs workshop. The facilities there are good. Among them, Professor Verdusâ workshop area is the best. You can secretly use it when the professor is not around. âWhat school are your seniors from?â
The friends looked embarrassed when they saw Lee Han speaking passionately.
âActually, I was talking about stealing things from my seniorsâ¦â â
â¦â¦â
It seemed like it would be impossible to make something even after I graduated, so stealing from my seniors seemed like the least possibility.
ââ¦Thatâs right. Right.â
âWardanaz, I was going to ask you to lead the wayâ¦â
Lee Han and his party were silent for a while and sipped their black tea.
Asan, who was watching, opened his mouth to lighten the mood.
âActually, I heard about an artifact with a space expansion spell.â
âOh really?!â
âWhat is it, a moon card??â
âItâs an ancient relic. Itâs a tent the size of a sleeping bag, but once you go inside, itâs about half the size of the campsiteâ¦â â
!!â
âWhere did you read that!? âWhich dungeon are you in?!â
The students shouted, determined to immediately enter the dungeon and find the ancient artifact.
ââ¦Senior Sun has it.â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
The friends fell silent again. Lee Han finished his tea and spoke.
âWell⦠thereâs no law that says you canât steal something from your senior.â
âWardanaz!!â
âyes!? âI believed it!â
âShouldnât these guys be in the location change club?â
Lee Han was a little worried inside.
* * *
While we set up camp and waited, the Summoning School students arrived one by one.
When everyone gathered, Asan cleared his throat and took out a map.
âruler. everyone. While waiting, I measured the height and length here, and roughlyâ¦â
â
â¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
The students sighed deeply when they saw the newly drawn map and the wide blank space on the map. I exhaled.
It seemed like I would have to travel around this dimension all semester to check and fill out a map of this size.
âLetâs start from the top of the central area here. Everyone, cheer up.â
âProfessor Millay is also disappointed. âHow can you tell me to do this for one semester?â
âMaybe all professors are like that. âWe just didnât notice.â
âYou say something extraordinary.â
Lee Han greatly sympathized with what someone had just said.
It is true that professors are racially evil. Sometimes there are professors who seem kind, but thatâs usually a studentâs mistakeâ¦
âHuh, huh. Wodanaz.â
Among the group that set out to check the summit of the central area, Lee Han was at the front.
This kind of exploration requires wizards with outstanding skills at the front and back to easily respond to emergency situations.
Asan, breathing heavily, spoke to Lee Han, who was walking ahead.
âWhatâs going on?â
âNo, itâs not like that. that.â
Asan was about to speak, but he hesitated, as if he was a little embarrassed.
âThe Wardanaz family is a famous dimensional expert in the Empire.â
âSo⦠thatâs it, right?â
âWell⦠Among the stories I heard before, there was a story about the Wardanaz family leaving marks in various places while exploring the dimensionâ¦â
Leaving a mark containing information about the surrounding area for other wizards who might arrive later is the best way to explore the dimension. It was one of the things wizards often did.
As he came from a family that had been the imperial treasurer for generations, Asan was quite knowledgeable about these rumors.
âthatâs right. âIt will happen.â
ââ¦Is there any chance of finding such a mark here?â
ââ¦Asanâ¦â
âI know! âI know!â
Asan blushed and made an excuse.
Even to think of it, it was an incredibly absurd expectation.
Finding a mark left by the Wardanaz family in one of the infinite dimensions would be less likely than finding a needle in a haystackâ¦
âNo matter what. How can you find such a sign? Wouldnât you rather be looking forward to meeting the family members?â
âThere are a lot more marks left behind, so the probability is higherâ¦â
Asan said, unable to let go of his regrets.
This was because the map that needed to be filled felt terrible.
âGive up. Asan. I sometimes used to calculate the probability of a meteorite falling on Einrogard, but it didnât make much sense. â¦Uh, brother?â
Lee Han was surprised to see his second brother, Arsil Wardanaz, writing a book with the help of spirits at the top of the central area in the distance.
