Chapter 796
Episode 796:
Lagesa and the Chain Pirates took out their weapons and prepared for a surprise attack.
I felt the solemnity of his appearance, like a hunter waiting for his prey to appear on his usual path.
‘Even professionally.’
In the eyes of Lee Han, who was already full of respect, the sight only made him even more respectable.
Professor Verdus strolled along with a calm expression, unaware that danger was brewing nearby.
“What a fool you are, Gonadaltes. Did I ask for a lot? I just need to give you five boxes of diamonds to use as fuel, but you refuse that! “You’re a wizard!?”
“Hit!” “Tamper down that debtor scammer!!!”
With Lagessa’s shout, pirates came out of the hallway. Professor Verdus exclaimed in surprise.
“what!? What!?”
“Give me my gold, you cheater!”
“The investor is responsible for investment failure!”
Professor Verdus reacted without panic to the pirate raid on the Imperial Islands. We have experienced attacks like this too many times.
The belt the professor was wearing and the amulet glowed in conjunction and created a powerful force field.
In an instant, the distance between Professor Verdus and the pirates increased significantly.
“You cheater. what? You want to build a flying pirate ship? “Where is that pirate ship!”
“Great magic requires trial and error!”
“……”
Lee Han, who understood the truth, made a confused expression.
There was a person in front of the empire who had a lower status than a pirate. That was a scammer.
‘You’re trying to scam pirates.’
“Hwi-ik!”
Professor Verdus’ skin turned pale and swollen blue. Lagesa interfered with the professor’s blood and stopped the flow.
The professor gasped and barely moved the tips of his boots. Then,
Meanwhile, pirates wrapped in chains attacked.
Lagesha shouted loudly.
“Whoever captures him first will be freed!”
“!!”
At those words, the pirates’ eyes burned even more.
For those who were caught pirates in the archipelago and forced to serve, liberation was a blessing they could only dream of.
‘It’s an item with magic resistance.’
Lee Han realized this when he saw the pirates advancing while withstanding the magic bullets fired by Professor Verdus.
Those chains suppressed pirates and also served as a shield to protect against external magic. It was a unique artifact that was difficult to find even in Einroguard.
Okay!
The pirates tried to break the force field by swinging enchanted axes and cutlasses.
Professor Verdus shouted urgently from inside.
“In Einrogard, I am protected by the laws of the territory, not the laws of the Empire! “You can’t do this!”
“I came here, nominally, with a permanent residence permit, you fraudster. Release the force field! “I’ll give you a few hits and give you only what I have!”
“Who called that pirate?!”
Professor Verdus grumbled and began summoning artifacts from subspace.
Fortunately, my defenses were up because I had recently experienced a betrayal and attack by my evil fellow professors.
When Lagesa saw that, she became even more enraged.
“How many scams have you had to go around armed so heavily?”
Anyone who didn’t know much about magic could have thought that a wizard could easily use magic.
He thinks he can summon a flying sword and shield with a single wave of his hand.
But behind the splendid magic, a lot of hard work is needed.
Right now, such artifacts needed constant maintenance and charging checks every day.
When I wake up in the morning, I check the artifacts one by one, prepare them so that I can use them if something happens today, and since the artifacts may collide, I think about combining the good ones… Right
now, Professor Verdus was more defensive than most pirate captains.
I became even more angry when I saw that a guy who had invested so much money but couldn’t even build a sail on a pirate ship defended himself so thoroughly.
“Magic power, stir up the magic!”
The old pirate woman swung her sword and chanted a spell.
Lee Han opened his eyes wide at the amazing sight.
‘The magic is mixing up!’
The flow of magical power in a space was supposed to flow under certain rules.
Under that premise, wizards read and draw on the flow of magical energy to cast magic.
But now, Lagesa has deliberately made that flow irregular and created chaos around him.
Then, the magic that had been cast began to mix and become confused.
The sword that blocked the enemy by shooting out a spike of light summoned by Professor Verdus stumbled, lost its direction, and stuck in the ceiling. The trajectory of the magic bullet that was being fired was strangely twisted and hit the wall and floor.
That wasn’t all. The force fields protecting the professor collided with each other, making a screeching sound, and creating a gap. Professor Verdus was so alarmed that he began reinforcements.
‘I think I know why Professor Bagrek called me.’
Lagesa’s magic battle was quite unique.
To put it in a good way, it was irregular and ingenious, and to put it in a bad way, it was disorganized and chaotic.
If Eumidihus had attacked Professor Verdus, he would have cast a counter-magic to temporarily neutralize the artifact or fought from the front to pierce the artifact.
However, rather than an all-out war like that, Lagesa dragged the opponent into a chaotic mud battle.
In this case, it could be a disadvantageous situation for oneself. Even mixing up the magic just now could have the opposite effect.
But like an experienced pirate, the old woman didn’t care about that at all and actually enjoyed it. It was clear that the more confused he was, the more he thought it was to his advantage.
‘No, the skeleton principal is stronger than me. I don’t know why the headmaster’s name came up all of a sudden. Anyway, if I fight a wizard stronger than me, there are a lot of things to consider.’
When fighting someone stronger than you, you cannot win in a head-to-head fight. We had to shake up the board somehow and create variables.
“…Eight!”
Professor Verdus must have realized that the situation was unfavorable, so he quickly stretched out his hand into the air and plunged it into subspace.
Then he grabbed whatever was inside and threw it.
Squeak!
Imperial gold coins, jewels, and various rare reagents and artifacts were thrown to the floor.
Professor Verdus scattered the treasure on the floor like a lizard cutting off its tail and ran away the way he came. Lagesa snorted at that sight.
“joy. No need to chase. “I will forgive you this much today.”
“You are truly generous.”
Lee Han quickly flattered.
If I can see it well, wouldn’t it be possible to call it into the classroom for Professor Verdus’ next lecture?
‘I want to show this to my seniors.’
“Kihihi. You have eyes to see. for a moment. “Why didn’t you activate the necklace?”
The old pirate woman was surprised when she realized that Lee Han had not activated the necklace she had received.
“You told me to keep it on, right?”
“…I usually kick it and then activate it. Hey kid! “If I ask you to eat, are you going to just shove bread down your throat and not drink alcohol?”
Lagesa was taken aback by Lee Han’s answer.
When Lagesa had just mixed up the magic of space, a wizard would have felt quite a strong sense of dizziness.
It is rare for a wizard to not feel dizzy when the magical power around them changes at will.
However, this kid was standing with a calm face even without activating the necklace.
“Next time, I’ll even have it activated.”
“…okay! “Good, good!”
Lagesa, who was impressed by his talent, burst into laughter and patted Lee Han on the back. Lee Han swayed back and forth and thought to himself.
‘What is good?’
* * *
“I. I have a question. “Lagesa.”
“know. know.”
The old pirate woman nodded.
I was already very interested in my own magic, but I just saw the same magic battle, so it would be hard to resist.
Normally, he would check the talent of the challenger through trials and tests, but this time, Lagesa decided to just skip it.
He was also a disciple of Eumidhus and Bagrek, and I liked his cleverness and cunning.
“I can’t help it! “I have no choice but to explain the magic you showed me today.”
“yes? Rather, I was curious about how much Professor Verdus had deceived…”
“……”
Lagesa looked at Lee Han in bewilderment.
The chained pirates following behind also looked puzzled.
‘Are you curious about that now?’
“oh. sorry. “I’ll call him Professor Verdus.”
“That’s not why I’m surprised! Are you seriously curious about that? Umm. Bible was roughly… twenty boxes of imperial gold coins? “I think I’ve accepted that much.”
“!!”
Lee Han’s eyes trembled with shock and fear.
“But did you keep him alive?”
“Because I didn’t know until then. “I thought a flying pirate ship was coming soon.”
Lagetha grumbled, deepening the wrinkles on her face. Even thinking about it now, it seemed unfair.
“Later, when I realized I had been tricked, I had run away to Einrogard!”
‘If we want to catch magic criminals, should we search Einrogard instead of the Empire?’
“Don’t invest carelessly either.”
“yes. “I will accept investment.”
“Kihi. okay. “I think you will do it sincerely because you are different from that Bible.”
“……”
Lee Han averted his gaze for a moment. Fortunately, this enemy did not notice.
“So, this is the magic you asked about. Let’s see… what should I tell you first?”
“?”
Lee Han tilted his head at Lagesa’s words.
‘Did I ask?’
I don’t think he asked…
But Lee Han stayed quiet. The pirate seemed to be in a good mood.
“Do you remember when I cast a spell with one or two syllables in the basement classroom earlier?”
“yes.”
“What do you think that is?”
“Spell reduction… isn’t it?”
At Lee Han’s words, the old pirate woman burst into laughter as if she had been waiting. The old woman, who was clapping and stamping her feet, barely stopped giggling and said,
“Yes, yes! I knew it would happen! All wizards I see for the first time think that way. But no. “This is pirate magic, the pride of our family.”
The spell abbreviation, which condenses the spell and spits it out briefly, and the magic that Lagessa casts with spells such as ‘i-ha’ or ‘ai-ya’ are fundamentally different.
‘It’s true after hearing it.’
Even if it was a spell abbreviation, it usually contained words or abbreviations that symbolized the magic.
Since a spell is a tool that helps a wizard concentrate in the first place, it cannot be completely unrelated.
However, spells like ‘i-ha’ and ‘ai-ya’ didn’t seem to have much to do with turning a chair into a flock of parrots or the back door into a wall.
“While the imperial wizards were troubled, tying and weaving magical energy, and trembling with pestilence, my ancestors simply surrendered themselves to the flow of magical energy. And then he shouted like a pirate.”
“…?”
As Lee Han listened to the explanation, his expression began to turn strange.
So now…?
‘Are you sure it’s random magic?’
Magic has always required thorough calculation and control.
Otherwise, the magic could have stabbed the wizard himself.
But surprisingly, Lagesa was denying the fundamentals of imperial magic.
Just draw out some magic power and throw it freely!
“…Huh, then doesn’t the magic come out a bit randomly?”
“I guess it’s a bit like that. Actually, I was expecting a bald eagle to appear earlier, but a parrot appeared. But aren’t parrots also good birds? “A pirate’s friend.”
“What if the magic goes in an unexpected direction?”
“You have to enjoy the flow! Even ordinary magic can sometimes flow in unexpected directions, right?”
“……”
Lee Han recalled a time in the past when flame magic tried to flow in an unexpected direction.
‘Can I enjoy this?’
