Chapter 124
Chapter 124
Actually, it had nothing to do with the Wardanaz family, but Guinando was stubborn.
“That habit must have been forcefully taught by the Wodanaz family. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to study like that on your own.”
‘You should study…’
The friend from the Blue Dragon’s Tower looked at Gainando pathetically and walked away.
Thanks to his family, he didn’t have to be so tied to grades, but in Gainando, that was a bit severe.
To the point where even the Blue Dragon Tower students, who aren’t engrossed in their studies, wonder, ‘Isn’t that just too much fun?’
Do some study!
“good. Shall we go?”
After tidying up, Lee Han put the hand-drawn map in his backpack.
It wasn’t just a map.
Tools such as sharpened daggers, nails, and hammers, as well as sturdy, strong rope and torches made from oiled rags, were carried in the backpack.
And a glass bottle of oil you use often and a few canned goods just in case. A glass bottle of sugar and a water bottle made of leather…
Lee Han’s hand movements were skillful and accurate, as it was not something he had done once or twice.
…I wondered if I really had to go that far while exploring the school.
“Are you really going out?”
“okay.”
Tomorrow is Professor Garcia’s exam, and Gainando was moved by Lee Han’s proud expression.
awesome!
‘That’s noble!’
It was not aristocratic to study hard while being bound by grades.
A real aristocrat had to know how to throw down a book and go on an outing.
Of course, if you look at it closely, Lee Han was close to leaving after finishing his studies… but
Guinando decided to ignore that fact.
“Let me go too.”
“hmm?”
Lee Han was slightly surprised by Gainando’s reaction.
He didn’t know that Kainando would ask to go with him.
“Are you okay?”
“Of course it is fine. My friend is going to a dangerous place, but I can’t leave her alone.”
“You’re asking me to go with you because you don’t want to study, right?”
“……”
Gainando, who was stabbed to the point, kept his mouth shut.
If you remain in the break room, passers-by will ask, ‘Aren’t you studying?’ It was clear that he would say something like ‘What kind of card game is a card game? It’s a paper test, so study.
It was better to follow Lee Han than to be scolded for nothing.
“Ah… no.”
“I think that’s right… It’s okay if you follow me. come.”
Having received Lee Han’s permission, Gainando excitedly put on his coat.
Asan came in and asked.
“Cainan Island. Can you not study?”
“Oh, stop asking!”
“No, I asked once…”
* * *
The reason why Lee Han wanted to check the Spire Stable first was because of the escape method.
There was an appointment with Amour, the owner of the stable outside the magic school.
-When the evil lich is down and the crimson dawn comes, raise your head and look east of the spire!
‘…hmm. Come to think of it, I don’t think it was such a spleen conversation.’
Memories tend to be distorted as time passes, but in that short period of time, it seemed to be distorted a bit severely.
To be precise, it was the promise of Amour, the owner of the stable, that he would fly to school once every two weeks.
I haven’t gotten a flying mount yet, but it was good to learn the way to the stable in advance.
And who else knows
In the process of going to the Spire Stable, I didn’t know if I could get a hint to get a mount.
‘As promised, I’ll come this weekend, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to meet you.’
“It’s really nice to come together like this. yes?”
Yihan and Yoner quickly nodded at Nilia’s question.
Gainando stood dumbfounded, then pinched his back at Lee Han and nodded hurriedly.
“I’m very, very happy to be walking around with a reliable guide like Nylia instead of a bad-tempered friend of the Tutanta family. yes. Yoner?”
“of course. I am very, very happy too.”
“I am very, very happy too.”
Thanks to Yihan, Yoner, and Ratford’s flattery, Nilia’s mood seemed to have improved.
‘It’s a little more comfortable with the other Black Turtle Tower guys.’
Lee Han was sorry.
As the Salco gang joined hands to take advantage of each other, there was nothing to be sorry for in any situation.
Even if the skeleton headmaster shows up and throws one of Salco’s gang as bait and runs away, there is no need to be sorry as much as it was agreed in advance.
…Of course, I wasn’t sure if Salco’s gang felt that way either.
Anyway, Ian thought so.
In contrast, Nilia could not be abandoned. Lee Han felt sorry for that.
‘Didn’t I have brought one or two people with me?’
However, if you ask to borrow one or two of Salko’s gang, Salko will also be hired, and if Salko is involved, Nilia will try to repay the grudge she fell in the other day
… Thought.
“It is very difficult to control the relationship between people. Ratford.”
“???”
It was embarrassing when Lee Han suddenly said such a thing, but Ratford immediately nodded.
In fact, even among thieves, human relationships were surprisingly important.
A thief who knew only himself and had many enemies did not last long.
“You are right.”
“I wished I had one or two friends who would take the lead when something happened. Like the Salcho gang.”
“Ugh. But Nilia-san doesn’t like Salco’s gang…”
“Yes. I know.”
After Lee Han finished speaking, he looked at Gainando without thinking. Ratford also casually followed and looked at Kainan Island.
And the two secretly exchanged glances with each other.
“Cainan Island. I am relieved to have you.”
“uh? why? what?”
* * *
Both Nylia and Ratford were excellent guides.
The only difference is that one was an outdoor expert and the other an indoor expert.
As such, it was inevitable that Ratford would play a more active role when walking through the complicated corridors and stairs of the magic school.
“Please wait a moment.”
Ratford reached out to block his friends and put his ear close to the hallway floor.
Right now, Lee Han and his party were looking for a way to go up from the end of the cut-off hallway on the second floor.
According to the map, it is correct to go this way to the 3rd floor, but I can’t see the way at all.
“Um… over there! I can hear the steps moving over there.”
“…I know how to do that too…”
When Nilia tried to lie down in the hallway belatedly, Yihan stopped him.
“Nilia. You don’t have to show your skills now. Rather save it!”
“i think so too!”
As Yihan and Yoner stopped and pulled, Nilia stood up as if regretting it.
Meanwhile, the stairs slowly approached. The group headed up the stairs to the third floor.
‘It’s the first time going this way.’
I had been guided by Salko to the third floor of the main building, but that was a completely different direction.
I had no idea what was going to be on the third floor in this direction.
Clap –
The stairs were connected with a heavy sound.
Lee Han took a step toward the third floor.
one step.
two steps.
three steps.
And Lee Han realized that the scenery around him had changed from the main building of the magic school with corridors, windows, and ceilings to a dense forest.
“…?!”
I knew that there were all sorts of natural scenery within the Magic School, but I never thought I would witness these changes within the main building.
Even though he knew that a great wizard could expand and rearrange space, he was trapped in a stereotype and didn’t think of it.
The main building of the Magic School is a place with a history so deep that not even the principal knows about it.
Not to mention the forest, it wasn’t strange even if there were volcanoes or glaciers inside.
“Amazing. I never thought there would be a forest like this on the 3rd floor… Nilia. Please take good care of me.”
Lee Han looked to the side and said.
The situation has finally arrived where Nilia can play an active role. Lee Han was just happy.
However, Nilia was not by her side.
“???”
Meow.
Looking down, he saw a black-haired cat scratching Lee Han’s ankle.
Even Lee Han, who had become accustomed to school, couldn’t help but be embarrassed by the current situation.
“Where has everyone gone…?”
Surprisingly, none of my friends arrived on the third floor on the moving stairs.
Lee Han immediately pulled out his staff and looked around the forest.
Meow. Meow.
As if he had something to say, Lee Han couldn’t believe it at the sight of the cat continuing to tap only Lee Han’s ankle with his front paws.
“…Are you Nilia?”
The black cat nodded its head continuously with a muffled sound. Everyone seemed to agree very much.
‘Polymorph!’
It’s not just a forest, it’s a forest with polymorph magic that forcibly turns you into an animal the moment you step out.
Lee Han got goosebumps.
‘for a moment. Why didn’t I get caught?’
Come to think of it, if all of his friends transformed, it was strange that Lee Han was fine alone.
‘Is it because of magic?’
If you go through something different from others after entering a magic school, if you doubt your innate magical power, you are usually correct with a 99% probability.
Lee Han decided to take Nilia to find other friends.
“Sharkan. Find other friends.”
The bone summons that had been sleeping in the belt rattled and came down in shape. And then he ran forward.
Nilia pressed Yihan with her paw.
“Nilia. Gently… Why?”
Nylia pointed at the Bone Summon and lifted her feet. It looked like a threat.
“Wouldn’t the other friends get scared and run away if they met the Bone Summoner?”
Nilia nodded.
Lee Han was lost in thought for a moment.
“I need to catch it quickly before it sees and runs away.”
……
Nilia was at a loss for words.
* * *
Fortunately, other friends were quickly found.
A bat on a tree branch saw Lee Han and hurriedly flew away (Lee Han thought it was probably Ratford), and a red fox with fur (probably Yoner) followed the bone pet.
“Where did Kainando go?”
The other friends each responded with a variety of animal cries. Lee Han nodded.
‘hmm. I’d rather just think to myself.’
It wasn’t necessarily helpful to have friends answering.
Sharkan, the imperfect bone summoner, sniffed the surroundings and patiently guided Yihan.
After walking along the path through the lush forest, we arrived at a large empty lot.
As Lee Han had previously met a tree spirit in a forest in the mountains, he speculated that there might be a tree spirit in this clearing.
‘It must be a spirit to maintain and live in a forest like this.’
However, Lee Han’s expectations were wrong.
In the middle of the clearing was a mouse.
Crumbling-
Bone summoner Sharkan lowered his stance with a very wary gaze.
It wasn’t just Sharkhan who noticed. Even Lee Han could feel the powerful magic radiating from the mouse.
‘What kind of normal animals and plants are missing in this magic school?’
The mouse swung its tail and cast a spell.
Then the bushes that were covering Lee Han’s surroundings sank down and the trees were pushed to the sides.
“…!”
While Lee Han was amazed, the mouse engrave letters on the floor with magic.
-forest. Pass. duel. Victory. loser. go back
“To pass through the forest, you have to win the duel, and if you lose, you just have to go back?”
The mouse nodded. Then it raised its head and looked at Lee Han.
Squeak squeak squeak!
The mouse fell backwards in surprise when it saw Lee Han not transformed.
