Chapter 493

Chapter 493

“Magician.”

“……”

“Wizard?”

After the sailor left, Ianob didn’t say anything, so the mercenaries asked with a slightly frightened expression.

There was no sign as frightening as a wizard remaining silent.

‘I will definitely attract them!’

Inside the hood, Ianob’s eyes glowed like torches.

The actions thus far were simply because of Antagondals’ orders and rewards.

But when he saw the piece of magic he had just seen, Ianob’s eyes widened and he changed his mind.

‘That… must be the lumber of the archmage.’

The Empire’s magic criminals were evil and corrupt, but their greed for magic was the same as that of wizards.

It was the same with Ianop.

Why did he keep his head down for a long time under a dangerous and capricious figure like Antagondals?

It was because of his greed for magic.

But what if that boy falls into an evil sorcery and becomes an archmage?

In the meantime, what if Ianop serves as his faithful right-hand man?

You will be able to fully enjoy the magical secrets flowing from her side.

It was a reward that could not be expected from someone as stingy as Antagondals.

Convinced that the boy was the lumberjack of the Archmage, Ianob risked his own life.

‘Instead of reporting to Antagondals…’

Ianop decided to secretly monopolize the boy instead of dedicating it to Antagondals.

It was a much more attractive way to enlist a boy and become his confidant than to sacrifice him.

Dedicated to the wizard of the house of Wodanaz, who was born with great talent…

Ianob began to write a letter with great care.

The idea of approaching it in a way that showed the magic of Antagondals little by little, as he had done so far, was completely abandoned.

Come to think of it, that was stupid.

How absurd he must have been to have approached the archmage’s lumber, who was even looking down on Antagondals, in that way.

A more explicit and more seductive approach had to be taken.

…I am an old but experienced mage. I am aware of some spells that the Empire has banned because of their danger, and I’ve even set foot in areas forbidden by the Empire. But I’ve never seen a sorcerer with such great talent as you. Please allow me to serve you! Thus, I hope that I can dedicate my little knowledge and wisdom to you, and that it will become the cornerstone of great magic…

Ianob wrote a letter so low-key that the mercenaries would be shocked to know.

It was not common for one wizard to send a letter to another wizard saying that he would serve as a servant.

But Ianop did not feel any humiliation.

He was planning to corrupt the boy of House Wodanaz with the wicked wisdom that Ianop knew, if he could somehow make contact.

In the process, getting down on your knees and rubbing your forehead on the floor was nothing.

“Send this!”

“Yes… Yes!”

The mercenaries, frightened by the deafening voice of Ianop, ran out through the streets at night without giving any reply.

* * *

The next day.

Ianob hid himself in a corner of the harbor inn and waited for the mercenaries to return.

‘It definitely works.’

What wizard wouldn’t be interested in bowing so low.

Ianob was sure that the Wodanaz boy would be willing to share a word. Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Wizard!”

‘It’s here!’

Hearing the mercenary’s voice and opening the inn door, Ianob’s heart skipped a beat.

However, the mercenary’s expression was strange.

It was an awkward and uncomfortable face, as

if he was hiding something, as if he was guilty of something .

Ianob’s instincts started to sound the alarm.

“Seolm…”

“Is that the person?”

“yes!”

At Lee Han’s question, the mercenary nodded hastily. For a moment, he forgot his anxiety and Ianop’s face brightened.

“Mrs. Wardanaz…”

“Professor! That person is right!”

“?!”

The moment Lee Han pointed his finger at it, the wall behind the inn suddenly shattered and the shadow rushed ferociously.

Quarreung!

Ianob was also a wild backstreet wizard, and he had no magical combat experience.

As soon as he felt something strange behind him, he freaked out and activated the artifact.

Along with the intense strengthening magic, Ianob’s thinking accelerated and his field of vision widened.

At the same time, a transparent barrier of power appeared in front of them, and the defense was activated.

Chiik –

Lastly, Ianob’s ring spun around and dyed Ianob’s hand purple.

It was a powerful enchantment that reversed the opponent’s regenerative power the moment it touched them.

Even this much would have melted the mediocre battle mages, but unfortunately, the opponent was too bad.

Professor Voladi moved even faster than Ianob. When the barrier appeared in front of Ianob, Professor Voladi was already accelerating into the air and occupying the top of Ianob’s head.

As Ianob’s ring worked, magic was concentrated on his hand, and Professor Voladi cut off both of his opponent’s arms without hesitation. The scarf, reinforced with transformation magic and enchantment, blew off the magic criminal’s arms like a famous sword.

Ianob let out a scream of pain and made a final push. His intention was to activate the scroll tied to his ankle to spread a sulfur fog around him and escape.

However, Professor Voladi had already pierced Ianob’s body with his sword.

hooked!

As the petrification potion made by Professor Thunderwalker applied to the blade spread throughout his body, Ianob was turned into stone.

“Did you get it?!”

“I got it.”

“Good job… you worked hard!”

From the back wall of the shattered inn, Professor Thunderwalker’s voice was heard nervously.

I was so impatient that I even forgot the respect I usually had with professors.

“Are you alright, Wodanaz!?”

“yes. it’s okay.”

“What kind of crazy bastard is all twisted!”

Professor Thunderwalker sighed in amazement and glanced at the stone Ianob.

From the artifacts he possessed to the magic he tried to use, he was no ordinary magic criminal. It was clear that he was a pretty famous guy.

It was surprising that such a guy approached Wodanaz, but what was even more surprising was…

“…you weren’t curious about this, were you?”

Professor Wooregeol asked while looking at the letter Lee Han had given him.

To be honest, if I were a young professor, I would have met him once after reading this letter.

How could a wizard so obediently offer his wisdom, as a proud and curious wizard, refuse it?

No matter what, I would have met you once.

However, as soon as Wodanaz received this letter, he said, ‘Professor! professor! Some suspicious criminal sent me a letter!’

Thanks to that, things went smoothly without any twists or turns, but to be honest, I was a bit embarrassed.

…Is this child greedy?

“What are you curious about?”

Lee Han was puzzled.

If some suspicious wizard says, ‘I will offer my wisdom and become your slave’, ‘What is it? Are you a swindler?’ Why did you meet him?

Even more so, if he came out with the professors of Einrogard, it would have been correct to call the professors and solve the problem.

Normally, I just harass you all the time, but even at times like this, shouldn’t it be worthwhile to use it?

“No… that… isn’t there magic or knowledge unknown in the empire?”

“There is nothing good about learning something like that. Even if you only learn properly verified magic, there is a lot to learn.”

“……”

Are you a real wizard?

* * *

The stone magic criminal was thrown away along with the pile of luggage, and the students prepared to go back.

Thanks to the completion of the request according to the schedule when leaving school, the faces of the students as well as Professor Wooreeul were very bright.

“Wardanaz. I didn’t see you in the morning, what happened?”

“Some magical criminal sent me a strange letter and went to catch it with the professor.”

“…just say no if you don’t want to tell me. child.”

Bartrek grumbled.

Most likely, Wodanaz had visited a secret shop in a city only he knew.

A shop that sells rare artifacts such as the < Mirror that tells the future > and < The quill that writes the correct answer instead. >

If it was a store like that, it was understandable that Wodanaz wouldn’t tell me.

Instead of hitting Bartrek, Lee Han kindly asked a question.

“Bartrek. What would you do if you received a letter from an unknown wizard praising your talent and offering to serve as your servant?”

“what?”

Bartrek reacted as if he was talking about something, but after a while, he was immediately immersed.

“You get a letter like that? I? Hmmm… that sounds a bit nonsensical. Isn’t it too soon? Still, if you accept it…”

‘He really likes this kid.’

Lee Han was dumbfounded.

It was absurd to see him thinking so seriously while rolling his eyes while saying with his mouth, ‘It’s not realistic’.

It was like Gainando seriously contemplating, ‘what if I fall into the Toberiz series world and become an assistant’, ‘what if I become a wizard card champion’.

“Shouldn’t we meet first and give some lessons? You seem to want to see me so earnestly?”

“…Let’s assume that the other person is a bit suspicious and has committed a crime. still?”

“Are you a criminal? Mmmmm.”

Bartrek was in trouble again.

“But what… He’s the one who came to be my slave…”

“Hey.”

right!

Lee Han slapped Bartrek on the back of the head.

Apparently, when I go back to Einrogard, I think I should talk to the headmaster of the skull and put it in as an additional case for character education.

‘Aren’t the Einrogard students too vulnerable to scams?’

If you receive a letter like that, you should be suspicious…

“What is it!? What did I say wrong…!?”

Bartrek didn’t understand why he was hit and felt unfair.

In the meantime, people from the city guild and the Meikin family gathered to see the party off.

“You have been through a lot. You can rest a little longer…”

The students looked at Professor Thunderstruck, slightly tempted by his words.

The people of the city are trying to hold on and welcome me like this, so wouldn’t it be okay to stay for a day or two?

‘I haven’t even seen the Water Statue Festival yet.’

‘There are still many streets I haven’t been to.’

“no. Since they came out in the middle of their studies, the students will want to go back quickly and focus on their studies.”

Professor Wooregeol gave a false smile and replied.

The people gathered at the answer let out exclamations.

“indeed…!”

“We asked too much of an insensitive request! sorry.”

The Shadow Ranger hunters tilted their heads as if they didn’t understand.

“Does that make sense? I never wanted to go back once I went down to the village during my training.”

“It seems that wizards have different heads.”

The students glared at Professor Thunderstruck as if they were praying that the back of his head would be pierced.

However, Professor Wooregeol didn’t care at all about that hot gaze.

“I will not forget your welcome and favor. Thank you again for the consideration and generous compensation from the Meikin family. It will be of great help in the training of students.”

The people of the Meiken family said it modestly, as if it wasn’t a big deal.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t take more care of you. I don’t think it usually costs a lot of gold coins for students to do research.”

“Haha… It’s okay.”

“really. professor. The other day, a 3rd grade blasttan student bought reagents by entrusting his sword as collateral. Could you tell him that he can pay it back slowly? I said I could pay it slowly, but you kept sending me letters of apology…”

As one of the Meikin family members carefully spoke out, Professor Thunderwalker’s face turned red.

Anyway, these Einrogard disciples had a knack for embarrassing the professor anytime, anywhere.

“…I’ll tell you.”

The first-year students who heard their senior’s obscene begging whispered.

“What is that old man doing? Are you from the Thieves Guild?”

“The thieves guild steals proudly and doesn’t do dirty things like that.”

“Be quite! Be quiet! You guys are no different!”

The thunder walk professor scolded the students who were swearing at their seniors in an impatient voice.

It might be their future, but they curse like that!
