‘It’s not bad to go on patrol than I thought.’
At first, I thought it would make sense that a first-year student had to patrol the magic school, but as his pockets became heavier, he changed his mind.
Lee Han patrolled two rooms used as a grocery store and one room used as a reagent store, swiping useful items with clever hand gestures.
If Ratford had seen him, he would have been weeping in admiration.
-for a moment.
“!”
Ian was nervous.
did you happen to hear it?
‘It was obviously a blind spot.’
-Wordanaj-kun must be hungry, so let’s bring something.
– Oops. It did. Because when this becomes an undead, hunger disappears and it is mistaken.
-It’s time for young people to eat in their prime. Are you old enough to chew on stones?
The Death Knights walked to the corner of the pantry and fumbled through the boxes.
Then he brought a long loaf of bread, salami, fresh vegetables to share, and a tightly sealed glass bottle.
– I just got it. I don’t know if it will suit your taste.
– It’s been too long since I ate.
“Gam, thank you.”
Lee Han was also embarrassed to see the Death Knights taking care of a bunch of food like a kind grandfather.
“But can I do this?”
-ha ha ha! You are a sincere student.
– Of course not. But what do you do? I eat because I work.
Knights from the old kingdom, whose names are now unknown, were very tolerant of breaking the rules.All.
Eat when you are hungry and drink when you are thirsty.
Besides, I help with school work!
‘no. Is it alcohol?’
Lee Han, who opened the lid of the glass bottle, was surprised.
“Can I drink alcohol while patrolling?”
-ha ha ha! Of course not. But since the work is ours, Wodanaj-kun may choke a little.
– When you return, you have to fill your stomach with black bread and cold rice balls. Eat well.
‘These days, knights should imitate the old knights.’
Lee Han was moved by the mercy and courage shown by the Death Knights.
White Tiger Tower bastards will learn from this…
While Lee Han was eating wagwagu, the Death Knights spoke next to him.
-Finding a rat that originally escaped into the maze takes longer than you think. Wodanaj-kun is young and ambitious, so I can understand why he wants to find it himself, but don’t overdo it.
-right. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to faithfully fulfill the time given by the master and go to work.
“…for a moment. Don’t you have that ambition?”
Lee Han, who was cutting bread and sausages with a pocket knife, stopped.
The Death Knights nodded their heads with benevolent faces.
-okay. It’s often said that true ambitious people have no ambition.
-Because of those who say they have ambitions, they don’t really have ambitions.
“no…”
Lee Han wanted to point out that the words of the Death Knights were logically wrong, but the Death Knights did not listen to Lee Han.
The older you get, the less likely you are to listen to younger people.
‘Einroguard needs rules that send gossips to the punishment room.’
Lee Han gave up and finished eating.
‘Certainly, patrol is not as bad as I thought.’
Unlike the first time I wanted to attack the skeleton principal, there were many benefits.
He was able to get acquainted with the Death Knights, and in the meantime, he could borrow items from some warehouses, and he was able to check the places he was curious about …
The Death Knights did not care much about what Lee Han borrowed from the warehouse.
Everyone seemed to think, ‘I’m young and I can steal.
Lee Han, who was drawing a map with a quill, nodded his head.
To use your remaining time as efficiently as possible…
“good. Let’s go downstairs this time.”
– Follow me anywhere!
* * * *
Siduff, the henchman of the Duke of Ikaldoren, had to struggle to withstand the rising fear.
In fact, everyone would be the same.
How can he keep his sanity when he is hiding alone in the middle of Einroguard, which has risen to alertness?
Ziduff was known for being cool and calm, but his reason was gradually getting worn out.
‘It was a mistake to trust the ＜Snake of the Maple Tree>. okay. It was a mistake to trust them.’
Experienced adventurers who know how to deal with wizards who can do anything for gold coins.
I thought that would be enough to get me inside.
It wasn’t even that Ziduff wanted much.
I was just thinking of quietly coming in and quietly working together to steal and leave…
If these crazy adventurers are going to die, they’ll die nicely, and what they’ve done has raised their alert.
Every night, as the evil and great Archmage Gonadaltes wandered around, warning, ‘You will die even if you come out, and you will die if you don’t come out’, Siduff’s nerves were numb.
Click-
Siduff opened the lid of the bronze pendant.
‘Three times left.’
A very powerful artifact, it was one of the lifelines that saved Ziduff’s life so far.A powerful artifact that skillfully paralyzes surrounding magic when activated once!
It was a magic school where all kinds of magic barriers and patrols went around. Even the Archmage could be caught in one mistake.
Ziduff was quite good at stealth magic, but that was not enough. Without this artifact, it would have been discovered sooner.
It’s a pity that the number of uses is fixed, but…
‘I’ll have to prepare soon.’
Ziduff pulled out another artifact.
It was an artifact in the form of a small stone statue.
“Goltineus, great wizard, I honor you, please change me!”
When he finished speaking, Ziduff’s body turned into a stone statue.
A powerful magic that even a high-ranking change wizard cannot easily imitate.
This artifact was one of Ziduff’s other lifelines.
Like a bronze pendant, it was disguised as a stone statue, shifting its position every few days.
Until one day the boundaries are lifted.
‘Let no one come in. Let no one in.’
Bump!
“So, you mean there was a side road behind the stairs to the front door on the first floor?”
– That’s it. Oh yeah. Don’t tell the master.
“Do not worry.”
When a horde of Death Knights came in, G. Duff was so startled that his heart froze.
Had it not been for his body turned into a stone statue, he would have groaned and groaned.
The Death Knights, the servants of Gonadaltes, each possessed bloody combat power, and were ready to summon all nearby enemies the moment they touched them.
Ziduff simply prayed that those Death Knights would quickly go out.
“What kind of room is this?”
-Well… Actually, there are many rooms that change when you close your eyes and open them. Of course I can’t close my eyes!
-Uhh!
– Hahahahahahahaha!
“…Woo-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!”
Lee Han smiled before it was too late.
Like the undead who had no particular pleasure, the Death Knights took great pride in their jokes.
Fortunately, Lee Han-eun had the extraordinary ability to laugh no matter what the professors said.
– Is it a warehouse room?
– It’s like a place where art is kept. paintings and statues.
‘That.’
Ian was sad.
If there were no secret passages, no side roads, no groceries, no reagents, the room would be just a garbage room.
– Don’t be too sad. Wardanaj County.
One of the Death Knights gave advice on whether he noticed Lee Han’s heart.
– A room like this that no one seems to be interested in is surprisingly useful. No one cares, so it’s good to keep something.
“!”
Lee Han was drawn to the words of the Death Knight.
‘Certainly we need some space these days.’
When he first entered the tower, he never thought he would run out of space.

Not only the private room, but also the break room was not enough.
But as time went on, things gradually increased.
Starting with the groceries we bought from outside, various reagents and materials, books, and stacks of papers that we are stacking up for our assignments…
These days, Lee Han seemed to understand why seniors secretly hid the stolen ingredients in a secret warehouse in the middle of the mountain range.
There is no space inside the tower, but if you put it around, other tower students can steal it (even your own tower students).
In order to become a good magic school student, you must have three or four secret warehouses that others do not know.
‘At this point, I don’t know if it’s a squirrel hiding acorns or a wizard.’
“Certainly put a few crates inside and no one will touch it.”
-right. The old adage that if you want to hide a body, hide it in the woodsisn’t it?
“?”
‘Isn’t that the saying, ‘If you want to hide a tree, hide it in the forest?’
Lee Han thought so, but he did not point it out in consideration for the Death Knights.
What may have been in the past…
– Wardanaj-kun. Are you going to use it as a secret warehouse?
“Yes.”
Another Death Knight intervened.
-Everything is good, but this room has a lot of clutter. I recommend taking it off by half. After all, even if you just pile up light guys at the entrance, students won’t come in.
“indeed…”
Ihan nodded his head.
It certainly looked good to get rid of the bulky ones.
“Can I take the statues or statues outside?”
– Wardanaj-kun. As I always say, there is nothing wrong with the world. Just do it.
– There are statues around the main entrance, right? let’s leave it there
“Uh… is that okay?”
– Wardanaj-kun. As I always say…
“All right. Let’s clean it up.”
Lee Han and the Death Knights began to carry the statues one by one and move them outside.
But Lee Han and his party didn’t know.
One of the statues is contemplating and screaming inside!
‘No… no!’
Ziduff felt his heart harden.
In order to escape, it was essential to unwind in a place where no one was watching and prepare to use artifacts.
But it’s in front of the main entrance.
Isn’t this the place where all the beings in the magic school open their eyes and watch?
The moment you release the transformation, you will die instantly in less than a second.
‘no! no! No!’
Ziduff did not understand the situation now.
And I couldn’t quite understand who the boy among the Death Knights was.
You look like a freshman, so why the hell are you walking around with the Death Knights?
There were so many things I didn’t understand, I wondered if it was all a joke by Gonadaltes.
Siduff’s true identity has already been revealed, isn’t it that the vicious Gonadaltes is doing this to mock Siduff?
“But where are these statues used?”
-Students make productions as a hobby, and do they have lectures? When I need to do magic later, I bring it and use it.
-There must be a statue making club. Wodanaj-kun is still in his first year, so he probably won’t be able to join the club.
“……”
Even if Lee Han joined a club, he never wanted to join a club for making sculptures.
* * * *
“Thank you for today.”
-What. Wodanaj-kun did a really good job, so we liked it better.
-Let’s meet again next time, go in and study hard!
Lee Han saw the Death Knights off and went inside.
I had a lot of work to do, so my heart was heavy, but it wasn’t too bad.
‘By the way, where is the intruder hiding?’
Although he did not know who he was, Lee Han thought he was a terrible opponent.
How can you persevere like this in the midst of an enemy line?
What the hell is he doing?
‘I hope we don’t run into each other.’
Lee Han wandered around and prayed that he would not run into each other.
For an intruder of that size, he would definitely be a formidable opponent.
