Chapter 271

Chapter 271

“There are countless beasts in the Empire. The gentle guy, the rabid guy, the timid guy, the brave guy… Memorizing all the characteristics of all these beasts is not an easy task for even the most talented wizard. But clever wizards know how to act tactfully. It’s about figuring out your habits.”

If you knew the behavior or weakness of a monster, you could infer monsters of similar series to that monster to some extent.

In this way, outstanding explorers used to figure out the habits of similar monsters and prepare in advance.

‘How am I supposed to figure out the habits of Cerberus?’

Of course, sometimes that method doesn’t work.

It was the exact same moment.

‘…Can I treat Cerberus like any other dog or wolf-type monster?’

The moment I scratched Cerberus’s chin with my hand, I feared that I might snap it.

“Of course, just saying this doesn’t mean it’s impossible for you guys to figure out your habits right now, right? There is one better way. A way that works for most beasts.”

Professor Lightning Walk kicked the bottom of the cauldron with the tip of his boot.

“Feed right away.”

Students everywhere caught their breath. It was closer to bewilderment and worry than joy and realization.

‘Feed Cerberus?’

‘Doesn’t it become food while trying to feed it?’

“Until now, feeding them shouldn’t have been that difficult. yes?”

“yes???”

Every time they went to the stable, the students who went through the humiliation of being hit by horses and spit on their faces were horrified.

However, Professor Lightning Walk ignored it and continued.

“Horses don’t complain about food, and they tend to eat a lot. But the Empire is not just about horses. You will have to learn how to feed them to deal with the animals you will meet next semester.”

Lee Han couldn’t bear to ask what beasts were waiting for him in the next semester.

“Now then… let’s begin! Feed Cerberus in the order they are completed!”

When the professor gave the command, the students hurriedly ran in front of the pot.

In the empty lot in the middle, there are various kinds of ordinary vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, onions, and cabbages, starting with the meat of several animals. And there was even a rare fruit or mushroom spice whose name I couldn’t even guess.

The students carried baskets one by one and mumbled about what ingredients to pick out.

“What kind of food do three-headed dogs like? I feel confident about onion soup these days. Shall we go for onion soup?”

‘Three-headed dogs are dogs, after all. Can I feed them onions?’

Lee Han was puzzled and gathered the ingredients.

Basically, Lee Han was also choosing ingredients that dogs would like.

You’ll like sweet fruits like apples, and you’ll also like meat and fish…

“Do you have any sweet potatoes? Guinan Island. Haven’t you seen the sweet potato?”

“Why are you asking me?”

Kainando tilted his head, not knowing why he was asking him.

“You like sweet potatoes.”

“…for a moment. Did you ask because you thought I would have taken it all by now?”

Lee Han did not answer and moved to another place. Gainando was moved and ran after him.

“hmm. There must be no sweet potatoes.”

“hey!”

‘It can’t be helped.’

Lee Han took out a sweet potato wrapped in paper from his coat pocket.

It was a sweet potato that was dug up in Professor Wooregeul’s garden, baked well, peeled, cut, and then dried.

Professor Lightning Step, who was watching from afar, asked as if he was absurd.

“Why are you carrying dried sweet potatoes in your pocket?”

“If you are in distress, would you like to eat?”

“……”

While the professor was at a loss for words, Lee Han moved to the pot.

It was difficult to cook complicated or demanding dishes because I didn’t know what Cerberus liked.

‘Let’s go to various foods as simple and simple as possible.’

I was thinking of checking the ingredients that the other person reacted to when I cooked and brought them.

While Han Lee grinds the meat and kneads it into sticks, a few fearless students go ahead.

“O mighty three-headed dog! I brought food for you here!”

-Kong!

The left head of Cerberus barked in response. The students put the well-grilled pork ribs on the bowl and walked carefully.

“Wait… Wait…”

“Jin doesn’t really attack, right?”

No matter how determined he was, his whole body could not help but stiffen when the six large eyes stared at him.

The students trembled and offered the roasted meat to Cerberus.

snap!

Cerberus’s left head took a big bite into the grilled meat. Then he chewed it a few times and then spit it out.

“?!?”

“Oh no?!”

The lightning walk professor next to him smiled and said.

“If you think of him as just a wild monster, your nose will be hurt. I grew up eating only good things, so my taste buds are picky. Besides, I had a snack before coming here, so my stomach is about half full.”

“…then you won’t eat anything even if I give you something?!”

“Nevertheless, you have to be able to feed them to be an excellent wizard.”

“……”

Chii-Ik-

The students talked less and the sound of grilling meat seemed to suddenly become louder.

Most of the students thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be delicious if the meat was grilled well’?

‘It’s a big deal. I thought so too.’

Various seasonings or recipes could not be used. If the scent was too strong, you could spit it out without eating it.

Shiles of the Richmond family, a horseman, called in a small voice as he looked at Lee Han.

“Wardanaz.”

“What is going on?”

“I have something to tell you.”

Shiles looked around and put a small bottle in Yihan’s hand. Inside was a complex colored powder.

“This is a secret Garuda used only in our family. Arcane powder that animals love to eat.”

As befits a family that runs the leading wagon transport business in the empire, Shiles was good at handling animals.

“You helped me last time, so I’ll help you this time. take it You will love it when you mix it into your cooking.”

“This precious thing… Thank you. Shales.”

Lee Han said sincerely. Searᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Besides, the last time I helped you, I actually helped you with silver coins!

Shiles winked, put the soup in his bowl, and stood up. Then the other top students murmured.

“What are you thinking? Didn’t you see something you just didn’t like?”

“no. It’s Richmond. You must have an idea!”

Shiles’ friends looked at him with a little anticipation.

As if living up to that expectation, Shiles put the bowl down. Cerberus approached and sniffed.

Wow!

All three of Cerberus’ heads spit in Shiles’ face at the same time.

Shiles, who was covered with spittle, turned his head to Lee Han and said.

“…sorry. Wodanaz. I guess it doesn’t work.”

“……”

When even Shiles was destroyed, no more students came forward.

However, Professor Lightning Walk was strict. When the time came, they began to push the students in turn.

“ruler. It’s time. Take the food you made and go forward!”

“Wait a minute! professor! Just give me a little more time!”

As expected, the students were in the middle of the day. Cerberus hit the bowl with his front paws, snorted it over, and rebuffed it in various ways.

Soon, Lee Han’s turn came. Lee Han, who was holding the dishes he made, suddenly thought why he was doing this.

‘I don’t think the path of a wizard is like this…’

-Kong!

Cerberus’ left head barked. It was similar to the reaction I showed to the students earlier. Lee Han put his hand on the cane.

The idea was to hit the shield to stop the stinger from flying.

Chap-Chap-Chap-Chap-

“…?”

However, Cerberus’ reaction went a little differently than expected.

To be exact, the food Lee Han had prepared was eagerly inhaling the dried sweet potatoes Lee Han had brought out.

Because the left head raised its head first, the other two heads were in tears and restless.

“for a moment. We should eat together.”

-Kleurungkongkeukkeongkung!

-Kong!

-king!

The stolen head reacted violently, but the other two heads were very satisfied. Lee Han asked Professor Lightning Step.

“Was sweet potato the correct answer?”

“…It’s not??”

Professor Lightningwalker said in a bewildered voice.

There can be no way that the answer was a material that was not brought out in the first place.

Cerberus didn’t even like sweet potatoes.

“Did you digest while waiting? stop! Raise your head!”

At Professor Lightning’s words, the three heads of Cerberus stopped at the same time and straightened their posture.

Lee Han looked at the bowl placed below. Only sweet potatoes were completely gone.

“Isn’t that the one you raised in the garden?”

“yes.”

“It was delicious, but… was it this much?”

The lightning stride professor was amazed.

As it was my nephew’s garden, I sometimes got vegetables grown or dishes containing vegetables.

I thought it must have been that the fresh and fruity spirits helped me absorb life force very strongly… but

seeing Cerberus react like that now, I wondered if there was something else.

“well?”

“The other students must have eaten it too, so you must have seen the reaction, didn’t you?”

“Uh… because I ate well no matter what they gave me.”

At Lee Han’s words, the students of the Blue Dragon Tower made embarrassed faces.

In fact, as soon as Lee Han put it in a pot and boiled it, he ate it without hesitation as if he was possessed by a ghost.

It was clear that they would have eaten well if they had put buttons and rocks instead of potatoes and carrots.

“Amazing… good. Let’s check it one more time. After the lecture, dig up some sweet potatoes and dry them.”

“…professor. Those final exams…”

Ever since he started living as a student, Lee Han has been able to contain deep sadness in his eyes.

Seeing those melancholy eyes, Professor Lightning Walk apologized without even realizing it.

“sorry. It’s definitely going to be hard to do now. Let’s try it next semester.”

“thank you!”

-Kong! I’m sorry!

The three heads of Cerberus barked in protest from the side.

It was as if they were protesting what to do during vacation.

Night.

Lee Han held back the feeling of tiredness and frowned.

“Is everyone okay?”

“…Ugh.”

“Ugh.”

“Looks fine.”

Lee Han nodded his head at the answers of his friends sitting around the break room.

To refresh himself, Lee Han poured hot coffee into a tin cup and then stood up and walked to the window of the tower.

When I look at the darkness of the magic school where the stars seem to be pouring down, it feels like it’s not a big deal to suffer like this…

‘…not lost.’

Lee Han sipped and blinked his eyes. Something was strange.

‘…it’s still midnight?’

It was the middle of the night, and suddenly the surroundings were getting brighter.

As if the dawn is coming.

The friends who were nodding like ghouls turned their heads, perhaps feeling that something was brightening.

“what?”

“What is going on?”

It wasn’t until it was almost morning light outside that the students realized the full extent of the situation.

The phoenix was right in front of the blue dragon tower.

“Wow… Wow!”

The students exclaimed in exclamation at the mysterious sight.

To make the night as bright as daytime.

Indeed, it was not a phoenix for nothing.

“I’m sleepy, but I’m waking up. right?”

“The phoenix appears and it’s not necessarily bad…”

“…Close the window!”

Lee Han hurriedly shouted and moved. Friends were perplexed and asked.

“What?! why!?”

“Close the window! The phoenix is coming this way!”

The phoenix, which had discovered the students inside the tower, was approaching with innocent eyes.

A few feathers flew in through the still-unclosed window, sparking the common room.

“…!!!”

“Oh, no! my assignment! My assignment!!”

“The assignment is not important right now! Turn off the lights!”
