“What is going on here?”
“ah. because of the order. Oh yeah. Let me introduce you. Hey. everyone. This is the Archmage. Last time I said Remember?”
“……”
“……”
When Gubon and Bijidek introduced Lee Han to the adventurers behind them, both Lee Han and Engo hardened.
“I am not an archmage…”
“oh. Isn’t it?”
“is not it?”
Adventurers say they never meet a wizard, but when he tilted his head to Engo, Lee Han thought about whether to hit him.
“Who are you talking about? Gubon, if you were the magician you mentioned… Heh!”
One of the adventurers widened his eyes as if he remembered it. Gubon looked at his colleague with a look that he just remembered.
“Are you talking about the sound of going to a party and standing guards with magic, lighting fire with magic, summoning water with magic, cooking with magic, and attacking caves with magic!?”
“I thought Gubon looked down on me and was talking nonsense…”
“……”
As the adventurers murmured, Gubon’s face flushed red.
What kind of disgrace in front of an archmage who was greatly indebted to, no, a wizard infinitely close to the archmage.
“Why am I talking nonsense?! Are you ignoring me!?”
“Oh, no. sorry. It sounded so absurd.”
“I don’t know anything about wizards, but I do know that what you said, Gubon, was strange.”
“Ugh…! In front of who these idiots…! You must have heard of the wizard who recently subjugated the king of ghouls! That’s who it is!”
“The king of ghouls?!”
The adventurers were even more astonished.
Adventurers who travel around the Empire often hear a lot of rumors.
When I recently returned to the city of Granden, I heard a few stories about the King of Ghouls at the tavern.
“No, why the hell is such a wizard with you…?”
“It’s not that I’m ignoring your skills, but you’re not an adventurer enough to hire an archmage, are you?”
“……”
As Gubon trembled, Lee Han-eunI thought I should intervene to calm the commotion.
* * * *
“ah. You are from Einrogarde. So that…”
The adventurers nodded their heads in agreement.
Of course, attending Einroguard didn’t show all the students the same magic, but adventurers didn’t even know that.
Just because he went to a great magic school, he accepted that he was a great wizard.
“As a student, there are still many shortcomings. And a lot of the subjugation cases are a bit inflated.”
“Aha. So, what Gubon said is also a bit bluffing, isn’t it?”
“That is true.”
“……”
“…???”
The adventurers were confused, but they accepted it.
“What kind of request did you come here for?”
The reason Gubon and the adventurers came all the way here was because of a request they had recently received.
– There have been reports of unusual phenomena occurring in the black rock forest near the village of Philone. It seems that there has been a change in the flow of magic, please check the forest and examine it closely.
It wasn’t a terribly dangerous quest, but it wasn’t a quest anyone could do either.
Magical power scattered in nature flows and gathers to cause various changes, and sometimes even experienced adventurers can startle surprises.
‘It was the same phenomenon that the undead world was connected last time.’
It is essential to have enough experience to see and investigate the situation and have enough combat power to get out and report when something happens.
Gubon and the adventurers had that level of ability, so they were able to carry out the quest with their qualifications recognized.
‘Five.’
Hearing the quests the adventurers received, Lee Han looked at him with a slightly respectful gaze.
Just by listening to the explanation, I felt that it was not something anyone could do, but that it was a quest that only a seasoned adventurer with quite a bit of experience could do.
‘It would be nice to pay. I should have received a request like that.’

No matter how much I thought about the quest I received while on vacation, it was a huge loss.
If he had known that the king of ghouls would come, he wouldn’t have gathered around there.
Lee Han also just wanted to investigate and request gold coins.
“But there was a problem… I was debating whether or not to step back now.”
While investigating the Black Rock Forest, the adventurers realized that the topography of the forest was constantly changing.
The gathered magical powers created an illusion to confuse the invaders.
It was only now that the terrain had changed, but if the illusion worsened, life could be in danger.
The adventurers were contemplating what to do.
“ah. Can’t I ask the wizard for help? It is a relationship that we met like this.”
“Don’t be stupid. Would a wizard be interested in such a trivial quest? It would be just a penny.”
‘not really.’
Lee Han was almost straight.
The adventurers probably had too much misunderstanding about the wizard.
“But last time, you worked with Gubon…”
“It must be because of the king of ghouls. Gubon must have acted as a guide.”
Gubon was shocked to see his colleagues talking openly while he was next to him.
But he couldn’t object.
Because it was such a role!
“…I am not only interested in some kind of ghoul king. I tend to be interested in any request.”
“Yes? Is that so?”
“why…? It’s probably not because of the gold coins…?”
“It must be because of the acquisition of knowledge.”
“Aha.”
Instead of pointing out the adventurers’ misunderstandings, Lee Han returned to the point.
“If it’s okay, I’d like to help. I have a relationship with Goo Bon here.there is.”
Goo Bon made a moved expression on his face.
“The pay is…”
“Please accept it. Wizard!”
“you’re right. Of course, this kind of compensation means nothing to a wizard, but this is the principle of an adventurer. As long as you help out, you should be paid.”
“…ah. Yes. What.”
Lee Han tried to say, ‘You must take care of your remuneration,’ and then became embarrassed.
‘It’s not bad.’
How can you get gold coins so easily? For the first time, Lee Han thought it was good to become a wizard.
Other adventurers have to build up all kinds of careers and results, but wizards can only participate in the name.
He was good at being a wizard!
Besides, if you walk around with adventurers, you could avoid the gaze of the Einroguard pursuers.
“hey. Wodanaz…”
Angago, who was listening next to him, whispered in an absurd voice.
“It’s our first year. Are you sure you can solve it?”
“Ango. Could I have said it without even thinking about it?”
At Lee Han’s confident remarks, Engo felt sorry for him.
Come to think of it, Wodanaj was in the same freshman year, but he was a different wizard from Engo.
‘right. This bastard was of the Wodanaj family.’
Angro nodded his head as if understanding.
“I asked a stupid question. In fact, if you are confident, it is better to receive it unconditionally in the current situation. If you go together, you’ll get a lot less attention. Your skills are enough…”
“okay. I will ask Valdororn to go with you.”
“…????”
didn’t you solve it?
* * * *
The illusion wizard of Philone Village, Waldororn.
It was close to an ordinary wizard with no skill, which he could see at least once when he toured several villages.
He tried to learn by finding a magic book or by finding a guild or a teacher, but those with limited skills would stop in this way and use magic as a guillotine.

Naturally, Waldororn’s desire to see the end of truth and the other side of the world through magic had long since disappeared.
“……”
“Isn’t the wizard’s expression a bit strange? Aren’t you offended?”
“Are we too rude?”
“…Oh, no.”
Waldororn quickly explained to the adventurers.
It seemed that all his feelings of disappointment had been exposed.
‘Why do Einroguard students keep coming here…’
The sound of someone knocking on the door left Baldororn without thinking, and his heart sank in shock.
A familiar Einroguard student came again.
– Mr. Waldororn. Can you please help?
-…why… no… I see…
Waldororn could not refuse Lee Han’s coercion, no, the request.
How could he refuse to trade with magic in a village near Einlo Guard?

Now the students were being kind, but I didn’t know what kind of reprisals they would face later.
“Waldororn is not one of those people.”
Lee Han said to the adventurers firmly.
“sorry. We misunderstood.”
“I’ve heard a lot of people say that it’s difficult to deal with all the wizards…”
The adventurers apologized with a sincere attitude. For Waldororn, that was more burdensome.
‘Aren’t you going to get angry if you can’t solve the forest problem like this?’
Wizards from places such as Einrogarde had an innate aura.
Even if such wizards made a mistake, the people of the Empire did not protest so much.
-Ah, it must have been really difficult to see the wizard failed!
But for a wizard like Waldororn, such aurathere was no
This is exactly what happened when I adjusted it wrongly.
– Failed? a wizard? Is that wizard a real wizard? Isn’t that a quack?
Just looking at them, they looked like seasoned adventurers with their own careers. Thinking about what would happen if I failed, I already felt sick to my stomach.
“It’s fantastic.”
Lee Han was the first to warn. An unusual flow of magic was felt in the hazy mist.
“Wow!”
“Up to the entrance to the forest… it has grown in the meantime.”
The adventurers frowned.
The range of the illusion’s influence up to the entrance to the forest increases.
That wasn’t a good sign.
“Mr Waldororn. Can I try to blow it the way I learned last time?”
“Yes. …Yes?”
“Then I will fly.”
Waldororn, who had answered involuntarily, was startled and tried to ask.
‘What did you learn? You don’t remember teaching?’
However, after hearing the answer, Lee Han did not hesitate and immediately swung his magic power like a hammer, blowing away his mist.
Instead of reading and interpreting the structure, the breaking method breaks the structure itself with a strong impact.
“……”
Waldororn opened his mouth at the ignorant solution.
‘Are you actually using that?’
Although it was a theoretical method, it was only used for illusion magic with a very weak or small range, and I couldn’t imagine how much magic power would be consumed to blow the entire fog surrounding the entrance to the forest.
The adventurers who could not understand the situation looked blankly and asked.
“Is it resolved?”
“Yes.”
“Awesome!”
“…I didn’t do anything.”
“Until you be humble!”
“……”
Waldororn really wanted to go home.
* * * *
Since then, Waldororn and Lee Han have broken the forest illusion and found the right path with their excellent observation skills and amazing magic.
Waldororn observes, Lee Han solves.
When Lee Han asked a question, Waldororn reliably confirmed it.
The adventurers simply admired the perfect breath.
“Then why is that wizard standing still?”
“You’re saving your magic.”
“……”
Ang was also very attentive.
I felt like I wanted to help, but…
‘I can’t even see it!’
It just looked like it was blowing away the mist by ignorantly wielding magic power.
Of course, that wouldn’t be the case, and there must be something extraordinary in it…
I couldn’t quite figure it out.
As Lee Han blew another fog away, Engo sighed deeply as if frustrated.
“Whoa.”
And Waldororn sighed deeply.
“Uhh…”
“…???”
Angro wondered why this great wizard was here.
