Chapter 483

One unlucky student suffered, but the work progressed quickly.

Professor Thunderwalker found the location of the Sangoria flower in an instant, and the Shadow Ranger hunters caught the monsters in the seaway as if they were drying their seeds.

And, Professor Voladi and his outstanding student took care of the monsters hiding on the island or reef.

“…Let’s just stop here for today and go back and rest.”

Professor Wooreeul said to the sailors.

The sailors were slightly puzzled, but nodded.

“All right.”

‘I think it would be okay to do more…’

‘The wizard must have an idea. Well, since he came running in a hurry, the travel poisoning might not have been resolved yet.’

The faster the work was done, the less tired the sailors were.

I could still steer the boat further, but as it was the wizard’s instructions, I judged that there would be some thoughts and turned the bow without hesitation.

Professor Lightningwalker asked as if he didn’t understand.

“Are you tired?”

“Oh no.”

“Then why? Do you think you can finish everything around here today if you push yourself a little?”

“Because I feel sorry for Wardanaz…”

“…”

Professor Lightning Walk looked at Lee Han as he walked out of the island with Voladi.

And nodded.

“You are right!”

Among the strangers in Isran, there were many suspicious people whose identities were difficult to guess.

It would be even more strange if there were no such suspicious people in a port that is open everywhere.

However, the suspicious person in the shabby and fishy < Cloudy Fish Eye > inn located near Deokjang on the west side of the port was a bit special.

A former mage who was wanted as an imperial magic criminal and in a way reached the pinnacle of notoriety that an imperial mage could achieve.

Magical criminal Ianob was sitting in the corner of the inn listening to rumors.

“The Einrogard guys are here… It’s not a rumor, is it?”

“oh my. Mister Wizard. How could I have the guts to fool a wizard?”

The retired sailor rubbed his palms together as if flattering and lowered his head.

Wizards were a welcome occupation anywhere in the Empire, even in the dark alleys of the Empire.

Even for those living in the shadows, wizards like Ianob were both respected and feared.

It didn’t matter that Ianob’s status was uncertain and suspicious. In the first place, most of the people around here had one or two suspicious points.

“I guess so. If it’s nonsense, I’ll pluck out your eyeballs and tongue.”

“……”

A cold sweat broke out on the back of the retired sailor.

He was well aware that this wizard was not joking.

In fact, what happened to the mercenaries who attacked the wizard’s thick bag of gold coins the other day?

Like a withered tree, it dried up and died.

‘It must be a black magician.’

The sailor didn’t know much about magic, but he was certain that Ianob was a warlock.

Otherwise, how would you use those evil curses?

“I thought there was an uproar over the Sangoria flowers… but it was unexpected that the Einrogards came too. Could it be that they also thought of calling the Shadow Rangers?”

“yes? How do you know?”

At the sailor’s question, Ianop cast a light contemptuous look.

“Then, would the guild guys hug each other and call the Shadow Guard?”

“I can call…”

Sailor trailed off.

Ianop offered no further explanation.

Why don’t we explain that because of the conflicts and fights between the guilds in the city, the complicated conflict of interest in relation to the Sangoria flower, and such things, we can’t call the Shadow Guard and choose a drastic way to solve the problem first.

You won’t be able to hear it anyway.

“Anyway, are you going to curse Einrogard? If you curse, I will bring you the things you need.”

The retired sailor grinned, deepening the wrinkles on his face.

In that greedy laugh, the desire to secure a portion was flashed.

“Cursing Einrogard… how many livers and how many lives do you have? No matter how stupid and idiot you are, try to stick even the straw that rolls by the side of the road in your head.”

Ianob laughed as if he was dumbfounded at the sailor’s words to touch the magicians of Einrogard.

Anti-magicians who sometimes run amok without fear are annoying because they want to die, but Ianob was very rational and sane.

And if you were a rational and sane wizard, you wouldn’t touch the wizards of Einrogard.

“You were a sailor. What did you do when a storm came while you were fishing in the distant sea?” Sёarch* The NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Yeah… to avoid the storm…”

“Yes. Ein Rogard can be regarded as a storm. After the storm passes, it’s not too late to take a piece from the remaining space.”

Ianob leaned back leisurely. The retired sailor looked dissatisfied at the loss of a chance to earn his share, but he was afraid of the wizard and could not open his mouth anymore.

“Don’t be so dissatisfied. Shall I pluck out your eyeballs?”

“Oh no!”

“I have a job for you. If you do this, I will reward you greatly.”

“!”

“Tell the story to all the mercenaries around you. If the magicians of Einrogard came out, there would be students, but if there are outstanding ones, please let me know.”

“Excellent guy… you mean.”

The retired sailor hesitated.

He wanted to be able to distinguish the skills of wizards.

“There is nothing to worry about. Because it will come as a rumor. The achievements of wizards are bound to spread as rumors even if they remain silent. I don’t need half-hearted guys. If you think it’s so great that you can’t even hear it, tell me. There are one or two such geniuses in Einrogard.”

“Yes, I understand.”

The sailor couldn’t understand Ianop’s thoughts.

He said that Ein Rogard is a storm and should be avoided.

Are you trying to kidnap?

‘But… isn’t that the exact opposite of what you just said?’

Ianob grinned as he poured cheap wine into a tin glass.

A person unfamiliar with magic could not have guessed Ianop’s thoughts.

‘The more excellent it is, the easier it is to fall.’

Ianob was not from Ein Rogard, but he had seen magic criminals from Ein Rogard.

It was decades ago, but the memory is still vivid.

A genius who inherited the essence of imperial magic, completely surpassing the level of Ianob, who was thought to be unmatched by magical talent.

Just making eye contact made me feel intimidated.

Each spell spoken was genius, and the structure of the magic was perfect without any flaws…

and more arrogant than anyone else.

Ianob did not understand, so he asked the great and wicked Archmage Antagondals:

-What is it that makes you feel sorry for the person from Ein Lorgard?

-That’s a stupid question. Originally, the more excellent a wizard is, the easier it is to be corrupted. Well, you who have never excelled can’t know that.

The more he excelled in magic, the more insignificant reality seemed and all the rules and restraints that stood in his way felt fleeting.

What does it matter if hundreds of bugs die while trying to see the end of sublime truth and logic?

No matter how much glory and fame awaited the wizard, the greatest temptation to an outstanding wizard was the truth itself.

– Ianop. Think about it. That shining… the corruption of a great magical intellect that is incomparable to yours.

-No… Mr. Antagondals.

-Did you just talk too vaguely? okay. So what about this one? If you succeed even once, I will make you my disciple.

-…!!!

Being able to become a disciple of an archmage like Antagondals was an irresistible temptation for a wizard who had reached his limit like Ianop.

Even after decades, that desire has not gone away.

‘I don’t expect much, but…’

After that, he had a chance to come into contact with wizards from Einrogard a few times, but unfortunately, they weren’t as outstanding as Ianop wanted.

No matter how much he was from Einrogard, a moderately outstanding genius was not easily seduced by Ianob’s temptation.

Only an arrogant genius who would do anything for the truth would succumb to this temptation.

Ianob earnestly prayed that there would be such a genius among the Einrogards this time.

Dinner.

The faces of the students sitting at the table in the mansion were drawn and pale.

Lee Han was surprised to see the princess sitting next to him dozing while holding a spoon.

‘oh my god!’

I’ve seen a similar phenomenon before.

Even Gainando, who shows extraordinary ability when it comes to food, fell asleep at the dinner table without being able to overcome fatigue.

Gainando was so shocked by that fact that he tried to stay sane at dinner afterwards, even by stabbing his thigh with a needle.

As you can see from this, sleeping at the dining table of the imperial family meant that you were tired.

“Princess. Wake up.”

“…!”

Adenart’s eyes widened.

“You must eat. You will regret it if you doze off.”

“Thank you…”

The princess, who was about to say thanks while still awake, felt something strange.

…No, you won’t regret it for just one meal, right?

“Wodhanaz…”

I tried to ask what happened, but Lee Han was already talking to someone else.

“Wardanaz. They said they wiped out all the monsters on the island.”

“…what? How do you know that?”

When Bartrek of the Bark family of the White Tiger Tower said this, Lee Han was startled.

What about the guys who were always locked up in the mansion workshop?

“The servants told you?”

“…no. no. for a moment.”

Lee Han did not understand.

“Would you like to come over for a minute?”

“What’s wrong…”

The servant who was waiting came running in bewilderment.

“Don’t you like your drink? It’s a Southern drink…”

“No. Not that. I wiped out all the monsters… I didn’t do it alone, but where did you hear that rumor anyway?”

“There is a fishmonger at the port that I deal with, and I heard from him.”

“..do you know where you heard about that longevity?”

“I heard from the fishermen who went to cast their nets today…? I heard the hunters told the fishermen, didn’t they?”

“……”

The speed of propagation was faster than the contact network between Professor Einrogard.

While Lee Han was catching monsters on the island, the Shadow Patrol was catching monsters in the sea around them and spreading rumors to fishermen passing by, saying, “There is a boy from the Wodanaz family that catches monsters so well.”

It was an incredible ability to multitask.

‘I’m sure I’m not a master of hunting for nothing…’

“Any mistake on my part?”

“Oh no. Actually, the reason I called was because the meal was so delicious. Can you give the princess another plate of wildcatcher dishes?”

“All right.”

The servant rejoiced and withdrew.

The princess, who had been awake and having a meal, looked at Lee Han once again, as if she was absurd.

no…!

“what…?!”

Of course, I thought of wanting another plate, but that was just a thought.

Adenart tried to grab Lee Han’s shoulder with the intention of protesting firmly and gracefully.

“…Wardanaz. How was the Shadow Patrol today?”

But once again an obstacle came in.

Nilia looked around with a very worried face and asked a question.

It was clear that he was worried that he might have had an accident.

Lee Han said, ‘The hunters kept believing that I was close to you, and thought you were threatening me with a bow. Also, they kept inviting me to play solo and didn’t listen to me even when I explained magic, and they were just as annoying as Gainando’.

And I opened my mouth for a friend.

“…It was an honor to meet the best and most capable hunters in the empire. I wondered if there would be another opportunity like this.”

Yoner, who had heard the general story from the people of the Meikin family, looked at Lee Han sadly, then picked up the apple tart plate in front of Bar Trek and pushed it in front of Lee Han.

Bartrek was unfair, but he endured it.

Woudanaj had nothing to say when it came to the amount of work.
