Chapter 464
“Wodanaz is from a noble family, so this part is a bit different.”
Salko said curtly.
When Siren heard that, she looked at Lee Han in amazement.
Do people from the great aristocratic families of the empire usually grab the sirens by the back of their necks and drag them up?
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
At Lee Han’s question, Siren slightly averted her gaze and started writing again.
I heard that this swamp area was originally a lake with clear water flowing.
It was one of the resting places for the sirens who roam through the underground waterways of Einrogard, but this time it turned into a swamp due to the elemental flood.
It’s unfair, but Mac, who should have been in the depths of the library, suddenly got angry and crawled out and destroyed everywhere.
It was a bonus to mark the territory in the swamp that was originally the lake of the sirens.
“……”
“……”
The Black Turtle Tower students looked at Lee Han with warm eyes.
That gaze contained the meaning, ‘Aren’t you angry because we destroyed the library furniture and built a fortress and occupied it?’
Lee Han replied firmly.
“You must be upset about the Elemental Flood.”
“……”
‘Isn’t the flood not affecting the depths of the library?’
While the students were perplexed, Lee Han immediately continued his words.
“I didn’t save you to be condescending, but you won’t forget the grace today, right? Originally, the honorable descendants of the spirit are certain to be Eunwon.”
‘I’m all ashamed.’
Salchow felt his face suddenly heat up.
Salko, who was born in the stonemason’s guild and learned that ‘face is inescapable’, came to admit that he was still far from seeing Lee Han.
The next time I take on an architectural commission, I intend to write down what I learned from Lee Han.
“let’s go. Salco. I’ll have to check how far that guy’s territory extends.”
As long as the Headmaster Skeleton was suspicious, he couldn’t leave it like this.
Lee Han intended to follow Mack’s territory until the end.
“But Wodanaz… If Mack is upset about the fort, that’s a different story. Besides… I wonder if Mack doesn’t have the ability to secretly kidnap students. Especially if you are in such a furious situation.”
Though his head was full of worries, Salcho was also thinking about something similar to Giselle.
Mack was far from a quiet, clandestine kidnapping.
“I can’t help it. Salco. In fact, I suspect that Mac may have been instigated by someone.”
“Whose whose?”
“It is the principal. But I’m not sure…”
“I knew it!”
Salko shouted with glowing eyes. Lee Han was a little taken aback.
“Oh no. This is a story of possibility and there is no confirmation, so I’m going to follow the Mac to the end and check it out…” “
Wodanaz. Do you know the intuition of a dwarf?”
‘You’re an elf…’
“That intuition is telling me. The principal is the culprit. There is only that little one. If I’m going to take you, I’ll take the White Tiger Tower guys!”
“…Anyway, you agree to follow up and check, right?”
“okay. sorry. taking up time.”
-♪♩♩♩…
“The real color again!”
Lee Han shouted and turned his body around. And aimed at the cane.
Then the siren struck the ground with a very angry look.
Tak-tak-tak!
I had been writing and calling from earlier, but the students were ignoring it because they were talking among themselves.
“ah. sorry.”
Siren glared at Lee Han with fierce eyes that had just lost her gratitude.
It was the look in my heart that made me want to sing a few songs of anger in a row.
* * *
Siren’s suggestion was simple.
It was to help track Mac.
In the swampy area where the topography has recently changed, there are many places where you can go downhill if you step on the wrong foot, and the road is complicated, so there is a high possibility that you will miss it even if you follow the trail.
“I see… Wait a minute. Wouldn’t you like to repay the favor with this? I’m asking just in case you don’t know.”
“Wardanaz… can’t we just talk about that later…”
“Salcho. what are you talking about. Originally, important things should be said in advance.”
The sirens shook their heads and dragged an old ferryboat and put the students on top.
Then he pushed the boat and started swimming. The ferry picked up speed in an instant and quickly covered the swamp.
‘The sirens had this ability.’
Han Lee admired inwardly.
I thought he only sang well, but when he broke through this underwater zone, he served as a reliable vehicle.
In the meantime, Sharkan deftly jumped on the dry ground and ran ahead. Not slowing down while being the first to find Mack’s tracks was not something any summoner could do.
The Siren looked at Sharkan in surprise.
I couldn’t believe that a young student could do that. It wouldn’t be
strange
if the mana exhaustion came right away…
Sharkan, who had been running so well, suddenly stopped moving and raised his claws to show his vigilance.
“…!”
The students opened their eyes wide.
The small island located in front of the swamp was covered with a black shimmering curtain as if some kind of curtain had been drawn.
-♪♩♩!!
As the siren sang briefly, Lee Han immediately looked away. Sirens hurriedly stopped singing and wrote.
It was really bad handwriting like Gainando, but Lee Han caught it with a frown.
“…ah. Mac’s abilities are being activated?”
Siren hurriedly nodded.
Mack valued nightmares so much that he made them his staple food, but sometimes, when it was really necessary, he would vomit the nightmares he had swallowed to intimidate others.
The pitch black curtain now spread over the island was a sign of that.
The veil of nightmares emitted by Mac!
“Nonsense. Why would Mac do that?”
-……
-…?
Siren and Sharkan looked at Lee Han at the same time.
Although they were of different races, the eyes of the two said, ‘Because you came after me…’.
Lee Han responded sternly.
“It’s strange that a first-year student is chasing him. And it’s not like I was chasing you with bad intentions in the first place. I came to find out what happened.”
Siren tried as hard as she could to write, ‘It’s not important right now, can you tell Mac directly?’
He began to expand the veil. seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
“Light, reveal the truth! Spread the mist!”
Lee Han quickly cast < Endow the Light of Truth > and < Ogonin's Night Dance >.
The former is for countering the spread of nightmares.
The latter is to stop the spreading nightmare.
However, Mac’s Nightmare Veil was more powerful than he thought. It came like a wave, swallowing the light and fog, and hitting the students.
“omg!”
“Ouch…!”
A groan broke out among the students.
Mack collected and spewed out nightmares as they were.
“…uh.”
Lee Han was a little taken aback.
Not because of the nightmares, but because the nightmares were too ineffective.
I knew that the resistance was strong because of magic, but I thought I could see at least an illusion for a while… I
was a little embarrassed to see nothing and just pass by the nightmare curtain.
‘This is not the time.’
Mack had to be restrained ASAP.
Although the appearance of this illusionary attack did not seem so dangerous, the damage accumulated inside was considerable.
The longer they were held, the more dangerous they were.
‘You must awaken the siren to access it. can you wake me up Will it wake up if I give it a strong shock?’
Lee Han looked at the siren, contemplating what magic to cast.
However, Siren was watching Lee Han with blank eyes.
“……”
-……
Come to think of it, it was only natural that the Siren had strong resistance to these nightmares, as they are the lineages of powerful spirits who can bewitch other beings with their songs.
Lee Han quietly lowered his staff.
Siren looked at Lee Han suspiciously.
“hurry! Guide me to where Mac is! We have to save our friends!”
At Lee Han’s cry, the siren nodded hastily and started pushing the ship again.
Mack howled as he broke through the nightmare.
█████…
“What does he say?”
The siren hastily wrote on the boat.
Why are you harassing me all the time…
“…It’s absurd to say such a thing after harassing good people first! But let us good people yield. Tell them that if the nightmares stop right away and the attacks stop, the students will get out of the library as soon as the flood is over!”
-???
Siren wanted to ask what it meant for students to leave the library, but she couldn’t afford it.
First of all, the siren delivered it as it was.
-♩♩♩♪…
“Dare!”
When Lee Han heard the song, he reacted instinctively.
Then I realized that all my friends were in nightmares and it had no effect.
“ah. sorry. Keep calling.”
-……
Siren’s fingers holding on to the ferry went into strength.
■■■…
Siren worked hard to translate.
Mack was asking, “Is that true?”
“I swear by my family name.”
Siren was greatly surprised by Lee Han’s sincerity.
I’ll even bet the family name.
Isn’t that a bit excessive?
“Instead, tell them that I need to check it out too. It might have been instigated by the principal.”
Is it the sound of a distant dog…
“…Anyway, tell them to check it out! If you want to avoid fighting each other!”
* * *
The students freed from the nightmare approached Mack’s lair with cautious movements.
Surprisingly, there really was no sign of the skeleton headmaster.
Death knights and other traces of magic, everything.
Salko whispered with a serious expression.
“Could it be the stomach?”
Mack looked down at Salcho with contempt in his eyes.
Lee Han spoke with a shy expression.
“A student suddenly disappeared and I’m looking for it. Do you know anything?”
■■■■.
The siren hesitantly translated.
“…At this time, the professor often takes students for the Witness Magic test? What an outrageous accusation… How could Professor Clare not be the principal and would do such a thing…!”
Lee Han, who was speaking, hesitated.
Come to think of it, there was no law prohibiting Professor Krare from doing such a thing.
‘What do I know about Professor Krare?’
The one rule to be followed for professors was only ‘don’t underestimate’.
■■■■■■…
In the past, I heard that I bought it myself while helping to prepare for the Hansang magic test?
“…For now, let’s accept that opinion. I’ll check.”
Lee Han immediately took out a piece of paper and a quill.
“Tell me the details of the situation. When and where did you help prepare for the illusion magic exam? did you help this year? And if it’s because of the Wisdom Magic Test, where did you lock the students up? tell me.”
Mac hesitated.
The professor didn’t forbid anything, but I was wondering if I could say this.
Lee Han pushed hard.
“Ugh! Do you want to see students continue to live in the library?”
Tears welled up in Mac’s eyes.
Eventually, Mac gave up and revealed the information he knew.
■■■…
The expression of the siren who was interpreting next to her became more and more subtle.
Apparently, Mack, who invaded their territory and caused a riot, was a bad guy, but strangely, he felt like a villain.
Looking at it objectively, it would be a good result for Mac to return to his territory and the Sirens to regain their territory, but why… The
wizard boy’s sculpture-like face, shining through the flickering lights, seemed to glow even more sinisterly.
‘…It must be because of my mood!’
