However, despite such fear, no adventurer stopped or tried to return.
If youâre the kind of person who goes back because youâre afraid, you shouldnât be an adventurer in the first place.
Those who overcome fear with desire and fear with greed.
Moreover, as he worked under Antagondals for a long time, his greed was never weak.
âThey are death knights. scroll!â
When a group of Death Knights and Bone Wyverns appeared in the sky above the forest, adventurers belonging to Kanglaâs Joyeong began to respond all at once.
In addition to the magic of invisibility, there is even magic that erases presence and presence and causes confusion if one looks at the surroundings.
âAre you done?â
âWait a minute. âDeath knights can easily see through veils.â
Even though the patrolling Death Knight disappeared, the adventurers held on cautiously.
Just as I was about to take another step, other Death Knights appeared from a different direction.
ââ¦â¦â
âWhat kind of army of death knights is in this damned territory?â
It would not be an exaggeration to say that a Death Knight was an enemy that, if encountered once in any historic site or dungeon, would wipe out a yearâs worth of bad luck.
However, here in the Einrogarde territory, Death Knights appeared and roamed around every few minutes. From the adventurersâ perspective, it felt like a cold blade had been thrust straight into their spines.
ââ¦done. move Candle maker. âHas the location been confirmed?â
âWait a minuteâ¦â
An adventurer called Chojang Cho took out a long brass telescope and carefully checked the location.
Although they had crossed the infamous Einroguard barrier and entered the territory, there was still a long way to go.
Since this territory was as large as a decent area, it was easy to get lost and end up in a dangerous place.
Kwasik!
In an instant, the lens of the brass telescope shattered and the candlemaker fell forward.
The adventurers were scared, but couldnât even scream. The bowman quickly checked the candlemakerâs pulse.
ââ¦Wrong. âMy soul was absorbed.â
âYou crazy⦠you damned wizards. âWhat kind of trap have you set?â
âI think I probably looked at the wrong location. âI should have looked towards the mountain range, but I think I saw the magic tower where the wizards stay.â
The adventurer called Sefactory made a cool decision.
Of these, he was a seasoned adventurer with the most knowledge about magic and artifacts, so he was able to guess what had happened.
Wizards tend to cast defensive magic to protect the treasures they have stored up in their workshops or magic towers.
It was clear that the wizards here in Einrogard had also cast such a spell.
It was hard to believe that his soul had been absorbed just by observing from a distance, not even approachingâ¦
âThatâs ridiculous. No matter how infamous Einroguard is, it is not a great labyrinth located at a remote altitude, and it casts such a threatening magic within its territory? âThere are outsiders walking around too?â
âThatâs quite possible. Antagondals has infiltrated you. âItâs no wonder theyâre wary.â
âUhmâ¦!â
In fact, the territoryâs alert status was raised not because of Antagondals but because of his crazy clone, but the adventurers did not know that.
âThe candle maker throws it away. Letâs move quickly. âBecause the soul was absorbed, the location here may have been discovered.â
âI havenât confirmed the destination yetâ¦â
âI canât help it. âWe have no choice but to go with a temporary solution.â
The swordsman opened the silver cover and took out a compass. The needle twirled and indicated a direction.
This artifact, which showed the location of the destination with a half probability, was more uncertain than the candlemakerâs telescope earlier, but it was unavoidable in the current situation.
âletâs go!â
The adventurers ran without even taking a breath. The fear that if they hesitated even for a moment, death knights might flock in from all directions urged them on.
How long did you walk?
The swordsman thought to himself.
âThatâs strange. âI canât see the tracking team.â
Since the candlemakerâs soul had been absorbed, a tracking party had to come out to find his body.
But even when I looked at the sky or outside the forest, there was no trace, there was just silence.
Itâs as if they donât make a fuss just to catch an outside adventurer who happens to come in.
The silence actually made the knifeman afraid.
âItâs a mountain range!â
As the huge mountain peaks appeared in front of the adventurers who had escaped the dark forest, the adventurers were heartbroken.
Instead of reaching the magic tower of the wizards, they arrived at the mountain range within the territory that was their original destination.
The place stated in the communication that Antagondals was staying.
As it was a remote and barren place, I could take a breather once I came this far. When you start wandering around the mountains and looking for Antagondalsâ¦
roar!
âCan we find the intruders in the mountains? âWhat if I went inside first?â
âOf course you can. But the inside of the mountains here are difficult even for Einrogard students. Even the intruders couldnât hold out and would come down several times. âIâm aiming for that moment.â
The wizards of Einroguard were having scary conversations and setting up magic traps all over the place.
These were bloody magic traps that were triggered the moment an outsider, not a Einroguard student, stepped on them.
That wasnât all.
âTsk tsk. Just like those lazy people. âIf you wait for an apple to fall under a tree, will it fall?â
âHormas you are right. We need to actively pursue it. âI donât normally take care of my vehicle properly, so I canât step forward in times like this.â
-Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmâ¦
There were also wizards who searched for traces, dragging Cerberus, a three-headed dog with sulfurous breath.
âAnpagon. âIsnât this equipment too expensive?â
âIt is an appropriate price. It is much better to observe this way than to have a person run directly. âIf there is an intruder coming in from outside, we will catch it right away.â
âWardanaz guy. What a strange request you are asking. âIâll give it to you because I got it⦠but why bother trying to catch thieves who came in from outside?â
Also, some wizards were trying to observe the surroundings by floating magic devices in the air⦠The
adventurers froze as they saw too many wizards wandering around the mountain range like rats than expected.
Even though the adventurers were seasoned adventurers who had experienced many hardships and the opponents were still young wizards, there was no way to do anything if the numbers were this different.
Isnât this even the wizardsâ territory?
âYour location was discovered when your soul was absorbed earlier. âItâs definitely true.â
âTskâ¦!â
The adventurers let out deep, dark groans.
Regardless of the trap, I never imagined that a single student would be making requests.
* * *
After setting up the giants as guards, receiving some praise from his crazy alter ego, and petting the hamster once (the hamster tried to bite it), Lee Han returned to school and asked his seniors for a favor.
âSeniors. âI will take care of the exam this time and submit the test materials to the club, and I usually help out with club work. Can you do me a favor?â
âPuch wodanaz! âIf you tell me just one of the three, I have no choice but to grant your request!â
âIntruders have entered the school. Is it possible to release the club members and capture them?â
âItâs not difficult⦠why?â
âyes?â
âWhy are you doing that, Wardanaz?â
Falkrius tilted his head.
Intruders coming into Einrogard was a constant occurrence.
And itâs the job of the skeleton principal, his minions, or the professors to catch it.
This was not a problem for the second-year student, who would be taking the midterm exam in a few days, to worry about.
âSo⦠Soâ¦â
Lee Han hesitated because it was difficult to say that he had defrauded magic criminals and ridiculed their hamster status.
Then Falkrius nodded as if he understood.
âPhew. âI think I know even if you donât say it.â
âAre you sure?â
âokay. Is that because he is the principalâs student? The principal is also very kind. âI canât believe Iâm asking you to do that.â
ââ¦no!â
When Falkrius made a strange misunderstanding, Lee Han immediately began to explain.
It was a little doubtful whether he had been persuaded, but Falkrius promised to search the area by asking juniors who were close to the club.
Falkrius was not the only thing Lee Han requested.
âSenior Hormasi. âI am taking care of the baby basilisk, unicorn, and griffon, Jourin. Could you please help me?â
ââ¦Are you asking me to pledge my familyâs name as a guarantee?â
Carnella was astonished.
Why on earth would you start a story like that to ask for a favor?
âno. There is an intruderâ¦â
âWhy are you doing that, junior?â
ââ¦Soâ¦â
âAh. done. âI think I know even if you donât say it.â
âYou donât think Iâm doing this because Iâm the principalâs student, do you?â
âIs that right? what? âHow did you read my mind?â
ââ¦â¦â
After that, the requests continued.
Seniors from various clubs.
And the seniors of Lee Hanâs school (actually most of them) readily nodded to their juniorâs rare request.
Delet, who had promised to take his juniors from the dark magic school on patrol, suddenly became curious and asked.
âBy the way, junior.â
âIâm not doing this because Iâm the principalâs student!â
ââ¦Oh no. What are you talking about?â
Delet was embarrassed.
I didnât think that Lee Hanâs search for intruders had anything to do with the skeleton principal.
If it is related, wouldnât it be related to his crazy alter ego?
ââ¦youâre right. senior. Senior Direth is the best senior in Einrogard!â
Lee Han was slightly moved and shouted. Direth actually felt a little embarrassed at those words.
âThat much? âThere must be many better seniors than me.â
âWho the hell are you? âPlease tell me someoneâs nameâ¦â
Delet pretended not to hear what his junior said and returned to the main topic.
âWhat I was trying to ask was about the seniors of Buyeo Magic School.â
âah. âI didnât ask about that.â
âI actually know why without even asking.â
Direth guessed why his junior didnât ask for it without having to ask him why.
Unlike other schools of magic, there was no need to ask as they didnât really care what their juniors did.
âThere is a way.â
âAre you sure?â
âokay. âThey say the intruders have expensive reagents or artifacts.â
âyes? âI donât know what the intruders have.â
âhuh. I donât know either. But it doesnât matter.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han was taken aback when he confidently asked to lie.
By any chance, is it not senior Direth but Senior Yukveltire who is sitting there in disguise?
Direth must have noticed his juniorâs gaze and quickly started explaining. If I left it like this, I might be deprived of my position as the best senior in Einroguard.
âno! I donât usually lie like this either. But Buyeo magic school kids can do it! â¦It sounds weird, but itâs true!â
As Direth spoke, he had the feeling that he was sinking deeper and deeper into the mire.
The more I said it, the more strange it sounded.
But Lee Han was also an outstanding junior. I immediately understood what Delet meant.
âindeed. understand. âThe seniors of the Buyeo Magic School usually do not repay me in any way even when I work hard for the school, so even if I cheat, it is a kind of self-defense.â
âUh⦠I see, but⦠How did you get that from what I just said?â
âthank you. Mr. Direth. I will do that. âAs expected, you are the best senior in Einrogard!â
âno way. what. âItâs no big deal.â
Seeing the senior waving his hand pretending to be nonchalant while flapping his wings in pride behind him, Lee Han thought to himself that he should at least give him a cup with the words âAinrogardâs best seniorâ written on it as a gift at the end of this year.
