Chapter 670

Episode 670

– Help Me! help me!

As the poachers screamed, Lee Han opened the stable door and checked.

“Have you eaten? hmm. No.”

Ponrig protested, scratching the wall in displeasure.

I don’t know anyone as a wyvern who can’t control his appetite!

“Yes, yes. I believed I want you to scream Everyone, be quiet.”

“Save me! please!”

“You saved me. If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll even release a basilisk.”

The remaining poachers looked at each other.

…What do you mean by basilisk?

bang!

Lee Han closed the door and went out again.

When I went outside, Frostwalker was looking at the wanted letter.

Lee Han felt a sense of intimacy and started talking.

“Professor Bendozol, are you looking at the wanted list? I have one too.”

“ah. no. I was looking at the poacher wanted letter. Somehow, I thought I was familiar, but that guy named Julban. Quite a famous poacher. There was a bounty on it.”

“yes?”

Lee Han looked at him with eyes that said, ‘A bounty for a guy who behaved stupidly and was hit with lightning magic?’

“ha ha ha. It’s because I’m not careful. That guy is also quite notorious.”

“Oops. I see the poachers are a bit careless.”

It wasn’t something a person who started an ambush without casting a detection spell would do it, but Lee Han said it shamelessly.

‘I wish everyone would be more vigilant.’

If more poachers with bounties like that guy named Julban come to visit us, we’ll be able to get a good portion before the vacation is over.

“Could more poachers come?”

“hmm. That’s a tough question. More might come, but… I’m afraid they won’t.”

Frostwalk took out a long brass telescope artifact and checked the surroundings.

Sure enough, the people who had been bothering me until just now had completely disappeared.

“Poachers are not fanatics, they are cunning thieves. You must have realized that the magic just exploded and Zul’Van’s gang was destroyed.”

I thought that even the Julban gang had a weakness, so I stabbed them.

But with the Zulvan gang destroyed like this, the poachers must have realized that the wizards here are not ordinary.

“Did they escape out of the mountains?”

Lee Han asked with a little regret. The frost step did not notice the emotion contained in Lee Han’s words.

“It is not. Poachers are tenacious. They probably rushed in to find the unicorn first rather than check us.”

Gainando, who was listening next to him, was taken aback.

“Then shouldn’t we go in quickly too?”

“You don’t have to worry. Unicorns are not monsters that can be caught in such a hurry.”

At the words of Frostwalk, Gainando whispered to Yihan.

“Lee Han. I think he’s a bit wrong, but can I trust him?”

“…Let’s not be so mean that the poachers didn’t notice right away.”

* * *

Unlike Zulvan, the poacher Akga was more of a lone hunter.

If I had to compare it, it had a similar personality to the Shadow Patrol (although the Shadow Patrol would never admit it).

There were people in the Empire who felt a sense of joy and achievement from defeating difficult and strong prey.

Hunters now used to say that these people were blessed by Zarmis, the god of hunters.

Those who abandoned the ordinary happiness they should have enjoyed and chose a lonely and dangerous life.

And Akga the poacher was one of these people.

‘I catch the unicorn.’

Akga took out an incense burner and a compass from his bosom.

Containing a strand of unicorn hair, this incense burner compass was a treasure that would make any unicorn hunter’s mouth drool.

The smoke rising from the incense burner guides the direction of the unicorn.

Akga intended to approach and defeat the unicorn alone while the others wandered at the entrance of the mountain range.

“!”

Akga blinked at the beautiful white creature seen in the distance.

As a hunter, I’ve never been fascinated by the sight of my prey, but the unicorn made it possible.

‘found!’

Akga cautiously and slowly drew out the crossbow.

The unicorn was a monster with powerful magic, so if you couldn’t kill it in one blow, the evil could be the opposite.

But it didn’t matter. Akga intended to end it in one blow.

When I took out the bolt for the crossbow, an evil energy rose up. The air shook as much as there was a curse that would end the unicorn’s breath.

‘Hey Jarmis. Let one of them die…’

At that moment, the unicorn’s appearance changed. The evil eye twitched.

…Did unicorns have shapeshifting abilities?

-■■■■■■!

The human unicorn suddenly shouted. Akga felt a shock that shook his soul. The mind defense artifacts they were wearing all shattered at once.

At that moment, Akga realized. The instinct of a seasoned hunter was shouting.

The opponent was not a unicorn!

“you you…!”

“Hey, you fried-to-kill poacher. How dare you catch a unicorn? Even if you have a hundred lives, you can’t trade them for unicorns!”

A short, grumpy-looking human wizard walking towards him was the last thing he saw before the evilga collapsed.

dump!

Professor Bendozol spat on the fallen poacher and took the incense burner and compass.

Then he pulled out his mane hair and dispelled the spell. Then, the beautiful unicorn’s hair returned to Professor Bendosol’s hair.

“The poachers are less capable than I thought. I thought everyone would come this way, but are you still wandering around the entrance?”

Professor Bendozol growled disapprovingly.

The ploy of scattering fake unicorn fur in the market was inspired by Headmaster Skeleton.

I thought poachers would all come this way if they cast a search spell with unicorn hair…

“I can’t. I’ll go ahead myself.”

-■■■■…

“Don’t worry. I will protect you until you are all healed.”

Professor Bendosol said firmly to the unicorn and started to stride down.

Even the menacing monsters in the Mountains of Mourning did not dare to attack the bloody momentum and avoided the road.

* * *

“This area has been searched.”

After three days, Professor Lightningwalker and the hunters returned.

Lee Han quickly brought hot coffee with plenty of butter and freshly baked toast. The lightning-walking professor looked at Lee Han as if he was going to die.

“I don’t know why a guy like you learns under thunder.”

‘It’s a high praise.’

The professor and the hunters hurriedly whipped up coffee and toast. Searching the mountains is a tiring task, easily tiring even seasoned hunters and rangers.

“Did you find any traces of the unicorn?”

“no. Instead, I found something else.”

“The poachers? We also caught some.”

“!”

Merense, who was sipping coffee, was surprised. Professor Lightning Walk said with his eyes.

– What did I say?

“Did you really catch it?”

“I locked it in the stable over there.”

Mranse glanced at the stable and nodded. Seeing how quiet they were, they seemed to have caught one or two.

“I have been looking for traces of poachers from the beginning. It wasn’t too difficult since they didn’t show any signs of hiding. The problem is something else…”

“?”

“Poachers are being hunted.”

“Isn’t that nice?”

“It’s not like that. But I don’t know who is doing it.”

The lightning stride Professor drank all the coffee out of the tin cup.

It was good to catch the poachers, but it was not good to have an unexpected opponent in the mountains.

Since unicorns are difficult creatures that even the lightning-walking professor is careful to handle, there are many variables, so there is nothing good about them.

“Aren’t the same poachers fighting?”

“It’s too professional for that. Besides, originally poachers don’t fight each other until they catch their game.”

“What if another monster came down?”

“No matter how stupid the poachers are, they’re not going to be hunted by their prey.”

Lee Han, who was listening to the conversation between the lightning-walking professor and the students, asked in a puzzled way.

“Professor Bendozol went missing here. Didn’t Professor Bendozol kill the poachers by any chance?”

“……”

Professor Lightning Walk was startled and dropped the tin cup he was holding.

“There was Ben Bendozol!”

All of the students, including Lee Han, looked at Professor Lightning Step as if they were dumbfounded.

No matter how, I can’t believe you’ve forgotten about it!

“Didn’t you say that Professor Bendozol went missing from here…”

“Ah… ah… that’s right. that’s right. It was. I never really thought about it. but. If it’s Professor Bendozol…”

Professor Lightning Walk nodded as if he understood it only then.

“Some crazy guy kept attacking poachers like a beast, so was it Professor Ben Dozol? Professor Bendozol would do that. You were alive…”

“……”

The faces of the students who had to meet the new professor in the coming semester were rotting, but the professor didn’t notice.

Lee Han still spoke out to find the positive side of the situation.

“Wouldn’t it make things easier if you really had a professor?”

“hmm.”

The lightning-walking professor was deep in thought. After pouring another cup of coffee from the coffee pot, Professor Lightning Walk replied.

“no. not really.”

The faces of the students became more rotten.

“Professor Bendozol bothered me. We are the ones who will attack.”

“…I can’t stand it.”

Kainando denied the reality.

It made sense for a professor to attack a student…

…it did.

“But that’s not the case, Professor Bagleg, you won’t attack a student you’ve never seen before!”

“……”

Lee Han looked at Gainando with sad eyes.

“You guys are saying such carefree things because you haven’t met Professor Bendosol. Professor Bendozol is a nuisance by nature, but he becomes even more nuisance when he has rare animals. You probably won’t believe us either. Everyone be careful. It’s easier to think of a mad mage as being added to the monsters of the mountains.”

‘Aren’t there some trustworthy people among Professor Ein Rogard?’

Lee Han was dumbfounded.

I met a professor in the mountains at most, but I can’t believe I have to treat them as more dangerous monsters.

“Aww!”

“!”

Everyone was startled by the shouting.

Professor Lightningwalker took out a vial of Felbreath. I had to use this much to subdue Professor Bendosol.

“Sorry. I was surprised to see the Zulvan gang.”

Mranse apologized with an embarrassed expression.

Without thinking, he opened the stable door and was surprised to see the prisoners filled inside.

“Please save me!!”

Realizing that there were newcomers, the poachers howled as if they thought it was their last chance.

Professor Lightningwalker said in an annoyed tone.

“Close the door. Lose your appetite.”

“no!”

thud!

As the stable door closed again, the nameless hunters whispered and looked at Lee Han.

Using Griffin as a jailer!

That boy was a born trainer. I’ve never seen anyone treat a griffon like that.

Even the basilisk.

Lee Han, who gave up halfway, sat still without saying anything.

‘I made coffee for no reason.’

“Lee Han. Those people say you are loved by wild beasts.”

Surprisingly, it wasn’t an insult.

Lee Han felt slightly better. My first impression seemed to have changed a bit.

“Only the king of monsters can be loved like that…”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

‘I’ll have to use cheap coffee beans next time.’

Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet.

Nameless hunters winked at Professor Lightningwalker. The Professor took out a vial of Felbreath and said.

“Professor Bendozol really came. Wodanaz.”

“yes?”

“Pound the strongest magic you have outside.”

“……”
