Chapter 34

“I can’t say anything to the apprentice of Thunderwalker.”

“…I’m really happy.”

Lee Han struggled to manage his expression.

I had to manage my expression even when I didn’t like the professor’s kindness.

Because the heartbroken professor was more terrifying than most demons.

Lightning trudged along and stopped in front of a horse.

It was a really beautiful white horse.

A well-muscled white horse with a solid physique that is neither particularly large nor particularly small.

The white horse stared at Lee Han and blinked. There was no violence felt there.

If Lee Han was a bit younger, he might have been tricked into thinking, ‘Did the professor really give me a good word?

However, Lee Han is a person who has gone through all kinds of battles.

not easily fooled

‘Isn’t this a devil transformed into a white horse?’

Clearly there is something!

“ruler. This is a really good word. But his temperament is one of the wildest and most demanding in this stable. If you can tame this horse, you will be able to easily tame other monsters as well.”

Lightningwalker said with a very happy expression.

“Of course, it might be too difficult for a freshman.”

“If you think so…”

“But if you’re so good at dealing with the Thunderbird, you’ll be able to do it! I believe in you!”

‘shit.’

Well done, the difficulty goes up!

How could it be so irrational and absurd… seaʀᴄh thё Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

While Lee Han and Professor Lightning Walk were talking, other students couldn’t let go of their lingering feelings and were approaching various words and trying to have a conversation.

“Are you nice? Good… bad! I got bitten!”

“Stop spitting! Stop spitting!”

“You headbutt me!?”

Of course, the words didn’t go hand in hand.

As the mayhem continued, Nylea cautiously told her friends.

“Shouldn’t we get to know each other first?”

“Are you trying to be friends?”

“So, don’t just walk up to me and try to pet me, there are other things. Coming out early in the morning to brush her hair, clean her inside, feed her…”

Nilia didn’t think she was saying anything particularly strange.

Even when I was working for < Shadow Patrol >, I had to show this level of sincerity in order to tame a strange beast.

If you don’t consistently put in the time and effort, your opponent won’t open up.

“What do you have to do to that extent?”

“You have to come out to the stable early every morning?”

“?!”

But surprisingly, the other students showed a rejection reaction.

At least there were many students from wealthy families in the Black Turtle Tower.

A horse is taken care of by a servant or a slave; there is no need to take care of it yourself.

‘Are you all fools!?’

Nilia was about to say ‘Do you think I’m still out of school?’ but held back.

If you say something like that, only Nilia will be treated as a strange person.

I just had to sigh inside.

‘I have to come out alone. Later, if the horses listen to me, maybe other people will listen to me too.’

Yihan and Yoner spoke to Nilia, who walked with her ears drooping sullenly.

“Nilia. Did you choose your words?”

“We’re going to come out every morning to take care of the horses. Do you want to join us?”

“…huh!!”

Nilia gave Yihan and Yoner a hug with a tearful expression.

A true friend didn’t matter even if the top was different.

Yihan and Yoner looked at Nilia as if they were absurd.

‘Why are you doing this?’

‘well…?’

After the basic vehicle training lecture, Lee Han and Professor Lightning Walk headed to Professor Thunder Walk’s cabin.

In fact, to be precise, it was closer to being dragged than going together. Because Lee Han couldn’t refuse the professor’s words.

“Come… no.”

Lee Han saw it clearly.

The pupils of Professor Thunderwalk, who witnessed the elders in the family, shake greatly and his complexion darkens!

“…What are you doing here?”

“Do you need a reason to meet your nephew! look away oops! Also, in a corner like this, you build a hut and live there. It’s not even organized properly! Look at this dust!”

“I am organized myself.”

The thunder steps made their own protests.

In fact, after Lee Han came, the cabin was quite tidy.

“You are talking like tidying up! What kind of arrangement is this! Alchemy is good, but now I have to think about finding a true mate and having children. How long do you plan to live alone! The elders are worried about you…”

“……”

Thunderstruck looked at Lee Han as if asking for help. Lee Han couldn’t resist those eyes.

“I. professor. Shall we prepare a meal?”

“ah. okay. I brought a disciple, but I have to feed him. you stay still thunder step. Because the food you cooked doesn’t taste good. I’ll make it delicious the Eastern way.”

“No, I don’t really like Eastern food…”

“What did you say?”

“it’s nothing.”

Thunderwalk mumbled, then closed his mouth. Then he looked at Lee Han and said in a desperate voice.

“What happened to you?”

A voice implying that please return the topic.

Lee Han pondered over what to say.

Should I even talk about joining the Freesinga Order?

“for a moment. That staff…”

It was only then that Thunderstruck realized that Lee Han’s staff was a staff he hadn’t seen before.

“Where did you get that wand?”

“ah. You mean this?”

Lee Han pondered for a moment.

Then he asked again.

“Are you keeping a secret?”

“……”

Thunder steps were absurd.

I just asked to lightly change the topic, but I never thought that kind of words would come back.

Besides, the fact that he said that is suspicious at first glance…

“…I’ll protect you.”

“Hey. My kindred always keep secrets.”

Lightning walked from behind as he was cutting toward the chopping board, then washed his hands for a while before approaching.

“No matter what the secret, I don’t drag out what I heard at dinner. By the way, what kind of bastard do you have all the ingredients are bread and meat?”

“ah. I know I can take care of myself…!”

“So, your health is weakening! Eastern eating habits are the best for dwarves. Eat rice, not wheat. I will cook you my delicious stew.”

The expression on his face was stained with sadness.

Professor Dwarf asked Lee Han again, trying to change the topic somehow.

“So how did you get that wand? I can feel the energy of life…”

Lee Han said, summarizing and refining the events of the night considerably.

-I happened to go up to the mountain for a walk at night, and I met a talking oak tree…

“…I happened to go for a walk deep in the mountain at night???”

“yes. Taking a walk is the best way to go to such a dark and remote place.”

“……”

“……”

The steps of thunder and lightning looked at Lee Han as if they were absurd, but Lee Han did not waver.

‘I was trying to escape.’

‘It’s an escape attempt.’

Isn’t there only one reason for freshmen to go to the hills on weekend nights?

“But wait. You met a talking oak tree? Did you solve the riddle by any chance?”

“yes. How do you know?”

“It’s a fairly famous spirit… Then the staff must have been given to it by a talking oak tree.”

Thunderwalker nodded in interest and looked at the staff.

The Talking Oaks had a tough and troublesome personality, but their vision and knowledge could not be ignored.

The staff Lee Han was holding felt the energy of the tree spirit overflowing with vitality. It was an unusual wand not often seen.

“What effect does this wand have?”

Lee Han asked in a slightly expectant voice.

I couldn’t have expected more than a human being.

I’ve been talking about talking oak trees as if they’re pretty awesome…

“That wand is good for farming.”

Lightning’s steps placed the bubbling pork stew on the wooden table.

The well-ripened kimchi (the name was something like pickled cabbage in Dongbu, but Lee Han just called it kimchi) was stir-fried once, and various seasonings and pork cut into pieces and simmered, giving the stew a smell that made Lee Han’s heart flutter.

Lee Han, who is of Korean origin, has always been familiar with the typical Korean style, the Imperial Eastern diet.

On the other hand, the face of the thunder step was stained with sadness.

Even green onions and peppers were added, and seeing that it was red, it looked spicy at first glance.

‘I have a student, but if you cook this spicy Eastern food…’

“I’ll eat well.”

“?!”

When Lee Han scooped up a large spoonful of white rice and rolled it into a bowl in front of him, Thunderstruck was startled.

Are you eating well!?

‘Isn’t it spicy? Was he the kind of guy who enjoys spicy food?!’

“also. Like a disciple of Thunderwalk, you know how to eat food. Wodanaz.”

Lightningwalker said with a satisfied expression.

Because the empire was so large, there were people who couldn’t eat the cuisine of other regions other than their own.

Compared to those people, Lee Han, who eats so well, was very pleased.

A meal that older dwarves couldn’t help but like!

“By the way, why are you so fussy! Eat quickly!”

“Ah yes!”

In comparison, Thunderstruck was slower to eat than his disciples. Lightning Walk finished the story while the dwarves and humans ate.

“As the staff has tree spirits dwelling in it, it would be great to grow something and make it grow. It’s literally a living cane. A wand like that is not often available. It is a very precious thing.”

“Uh… are there any other effects?”

“well? Because that’s the most representative effect.”

Of course, helping crops grow wasn’t a bad effect, but it was far from what Lee Han wanted.

‘Was it for farming…?’

I wanted it to be invincible if I held a staff or to help me control magic, if not to learn magic in my dreams… “That’s

great. You were just trying to plant a garden, right?”

“I did.”

“A garden?”

Lightning Walk showed interest in the conversation between Thunder Walk and Lee Han.

“Weren’t you from the Wardanaz family?”

“This guy is a bit unusual.”

“Looks like it. What are you going to grow in your garden?”

“I try to try everything I can eat.”

“That guy is interested in Eastern cuisine, so he tried to plant things like cabbages and green onions.”

“okay?”

The words of the thunderous step seemed to have made the lightning stride happy. The lightning step said as if it was expected.

“I can help you if you want.”

“oh. Are you sure?”

“okay. I also tended a vegetable garden quite a bit.”

Lee Han went out of the cabin with lightning steps.

Behind it was an empty lot that had been vacated for Lee Han’s vegetable garden.

Thanks to the potting soil from time to time, it was possible to plant seeds or seedlings at any time.

“It would be better to plant the things that take a little longer first. Potatoes and sweet potatoes will come in very handy.”

Lightningstrike was well aware of how freshmen at this school suffered.

Crops that can fill the stomach, such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, will be very useful.

“It will take at least two months, but planting them in advance will thank you later.”

“That is correct.”

Lee Han thought that the words of the lightning step had some truth. Received potato and sweet potato seeds and began planting them step by step in one area of the garden.

‘…I hear you’re from the Wardanaz family?’

Lightning Walk was a little taken aback by Lee Han’s work.

Anyone who has done some work couldn’t help but admire Lee Han’s work.

That seasoned figure, a born worker itself, no matter who sees it.

…Are you really from the Wardanaz family, a family of magic?

“…?”

Thunderstep, who came out of the cabin late and looked around, felt something strange.

“Did you plant them over the weekend?”

“Yes? You planted them now, right?”

“okay?”

Thunderstep tilted his head.

‘You planted it now?’

But why does it seem like the buds have already grown?
