Episode 479
“do not worry.”
Lee Han comforted the basilisk egg.
The basilisk egg stopped vibrating at the owner’s words, which were as strong as magical power.
“Objectively speaking, you are still weaker than a wyvern. Even if you are interested, you will probably be more interested in Wyvern.”
-……
Al made a wary sound again.
“Wardanaz. “Take the flag here.”
Professor Thunderstruck raised two flags on the wyvern.
One was a badge with the emblem of Einrogard engraved on it, and the other was a badge with a sword drawn on top of the emblem of the Empire.
Lee Han asked, puzzled.
“It’s the Einroguard flag. It shows that you belong to Einroguard… What is this?”
“It means that you are carrying out official duties for the Empire in the name of His Majesty the Emperor.”
“okay. But why is the sword drawn on it?”
“It means that if you get in the way, you will be disposed of immediately.”
“…Uh, are you kidding?”
“It’s not a joke?”
The thunderous professor answered as if asking what he was talking about.
It was easy to forget when you were in school, but wizards have always been high-class personnel, and Einrogard’s wizards were the most important among them.
Since we did not know what danger might approach from outside, it was natural to warn people first with a flag.
-If you approach too quickly, I will attack you immediately!
Professor Boladi also nodded.
“As soon as the enemy approaches, attack immediately.”
“…Me too?”
“okay.”
“professor. “I’m a student too…”
Lee Han said, ‘You are the one who was assigned as an escort, and I am a student who went on a picnic following the professor’s guidance,’ but it was not conveyed to Professor Boladi.
“Are you a student?”
In the professor’s voice, I could feel the emotion of ‘So what are we going to do?’
Lee Han gave up and sat down next to Professor Boladi.
The friends who saw Professor Lee Han and Boladi sitting around the narrow, shaky neck instead of the wide, flat wyvern back were already whispering.
“Is that professor that professor?”
“I didn’t know there was a student studying under that professor. “Weren’t they all gone?”
“Originally, Wardanaz’s goal is to attend all lectures.”
“ah. but. “So are you listening?”
‘no. ‘You bastards.’
Lee Han internally cursed his friends who were spreading false rumors about him.
“Look ahead.”
“yes…”
Professor Boladi immediately began his practical lecture to Lee Han by asking, ‘How should a wyvern rider fight in the air?’
“…So the nose is most vulnerable diagonally behind and below the square. If you are a wizard, you can supplement it with magic. Make sure to secure the field of vision first. “The fight in the air begins with vision.”
“Uh, Professor Bagrek…”
A thunderwalker passing by found Lee Han being bullied and asked.
“Do we really need to have Wardanaz sit next to us?”
In any case, upon arrival, the students would have to deal with quite a bit of chores, and the amount of work that Wardanaz, who had a lot of magical power, would have to do was easily calculated to be several times more.
Thinking about that, there was no need to bother Wardanaz anymore.
And in the first place, escorting was Professor Boladi’s job, not the student’s.
Lee Han was slightly moved.
‘As expected, Professor Thunderwalk is the average of Einrogard!’
I felt like something was going to happen at this level.
Professor Boladi calmly answered Professor Thunder’s questions with an expressionless face.
“He wanted to learn.”
“ah. Is that so?”
“……”
Lee Han was so dumbfounded that he was at a loss for words.
What kind of ridiculous lie is this without even putting saliva in your mouth?
Even the basilisk egg felt dumbfounded.
‘If I refute that I’m not here, will Professor Baggrek push me down?’
“Then I can’t help it. Wardanaz. cheer up.”
The thunderous professor gave encouragement and left, fearing that someone might not be the average Einrogardian.
Lee Han cursed the thunderous professor in his mind.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
The Wyverns set off after completing their preparations and split the air like lightning.
The students screamed happily.
“This is my first time riding a wyvern, Professor!”
“Because he’s a precious guy! Taming it is trickier than you think. “You can’t even imagine how hard it was to get this egg!”
As the lightning-walking professor wore flight goggles and shouted cheerfully, the students let their imaginations run wild.

On the outskirts of the empire, majestic peaks and canyons stretch out into the sky.
And Professor Lightning Walks, who explores the place alone and steals the wyvern egg.
“you’re right! How angry was the Count?”
“You crazy guy! He also bought it on the black market and got angry. I saved your life! “If it had hatched as is, the wyvern would have destroyed the mansion!”
Professor Lightning Walk explained how he stole a wyvern egg from the count’s mansion.
The students looked at each other in confusion at the explanation.
“Lee Han. Lee Han. what do you think about it? “Is it okay to do that?”
Lee Han couldn’t answer his friend’s question. Professor Boladi continued to harass him.
“What was that monster that just flew down from below?”
“Ghost… wasn’t it a ghost eagle?”
“Wrong. It’s an eagle ghost. Please remember the difference between the two. “The eagle ghost is…”
“……”
Asan stepped back with a tired expression.
The students who had been reading books and playing cards on the wyvern deck were slowly getting bored, and Lee Han, who had to keep an eye on the sky and accurately call out monsters he saw around him, was about to collapse from exhaustion when Professor Lightning Walk gave a signal.
“That’s all for today! I need to let the Wyverns rest. landing! ■■! ■■■!”
At the shout of Professor Lightning Walk, the Wyverns began to descend.
Below, where it was starting to get dark, I saw several villages with sparse lights.
‘Is that the destination? I’ll arrive before lunch tomorrow.’
In the distance, I could see a port city burning with colorful lights, located next to the sea.
Isran was one of the most beautiful cities among the southern coastal cities of the empire.
As it was a place that would normally be visited as a resort, the students also whispered with excitement.
“But wouldn’t there be time to walk around a bit?”
“Can’t I escape? Can’t I just go to the punishment room? Wardanaz. what do you think about it? “You know best about the punishment room.”
“Don’t ask questions like that…”
Lee Han, who was already tired as Professor Boladi, answered in a voice full of fatigue.
When the wyverns landed on the grassy hill near the village, the villagers came running out from inside holding torches.
Then he shouted in surprise when he saw the flag of Einrogard and the flag of the Empire.
“Wizard! “The wizards have arrived!”
“That’s right. everyone.”
The thunderous professor greeted the village chief politely.
Inside Einroguard, even if you curse at the Duke of the Empire, the skeleton headmaster takes care of it, but outside, you have to act as gentlemanly as possible.
“I had urgent official business, so I rode the wyvern like this. Trust me, these wyverns are fully trained and will pose no threat whatsoever. “I promise you this on the honor of Einroguard and the wizard.”
Lee Han witnessed Professor Lightning Walk punching the bridge of the nose of the grunting wyvern from earlier and slowly moved his body to cover it.
“Water… of course. We trust wizards. “Of course!”
The village chief shouted in a tense voice, feeling both reverence and fear. And she bowed with exaggerated movements to hide as much as possible the fact that she was afraid.
“Come into town! We have prepared a place for you to rest! Wow, wow, you can bring the wyvern too!”
The students were ready to move right away.
Often, when Einrogard students went outside, they received misunderstandings like, ‘Do Einrogard students like to sleep outside in the cold dew?’ Of course, that wasn’t the case.
Inside a warm inn. Of course, sleeping on a soft and smooth bed…
“no. “I will stay outside.”
The thunderous professor flatly refused.
“We have already prepared everything. “I don’t want to cause trouble to the village people.”
“Oh, no. It’s not a nuisance! More than anything…”
“no. “With this many people, and even wyverns, it’s impossible not to be concerned.”
There were several reasons why Professor Thunderstruck was like this.
No matter how much the magicians of Einrogard were respected by everyone in the empire, villagers who didn’t know them well could be scared.
And the wyvern was even more so. If a disturbance was made by mistake, Professor Thunder Gait was responsible.
finally…
-Don’t bother people needlessly on your way back and forth. Don’t just call the villagers and say things like, ‘I’m from Einrogard, so if you could give me some warm bread and a drink…’.
-Do not worry. This isn’t something you do once or twice.
The skeleton principal did not like to come into contact with ordinary people of the empire in passing.
“Hmph.”
“I thought you were staying in town.”
The students were sad and prepared to camp.
When I first entered school, I would have asked, ‘How can people sleep outside?’, but now I wasn’t that surprised that even Blue Dragon Tower students slept outside.
“Put some more blankets here.”
“for a moment. “Get rid of the bugs.”
“Spray this potion. “It will help keep bugs at bay.”
“Priest Shianna…! thank you and. The effect is amazing! “All the grass died at once!”
“for a moment. I gave it to you incorrectly. Sprinkle this here.”
“……”
Lee Han poured the travel food his friends had brought into a pot and boiled it.
It included hard bread, cheese, salty beef jerky, and still fresh carrots, onions, and potatoes.
“thanks.”
“You have to pay back what you eat later.”
“……”
The thunderous professor was dumbfounded, but nodded.
Well, how precious is this kind of food to Einrogard students?
‘But the garden was destroyed by the flood. Where did you get the vegetables?’
The thunderous professor had a question as he poured in the stew.
It looks pretty fresh, so it doesn’t look like it was brought in from outside…
Lee Han offered some soup made with only vegetables for Professor Boladi and asked the thunderous professor.
“By the way, Professor. “You were invited by the Makin family.”
“yes.”
“Wouldn’t it be okay if we just went with the Makin family’s procession?”
“Then it’s too slow. “I also have to take lectures.”
The students were very disappointed.
If I had moved with the Makin family, I might have been able to have fun for a day or two!
Lee Han tilted his head and asked again.
“But shouldn’t the Makin family at least give us the supplies needed for movement?”
“Ah, a family as big as the Makin family doesn’t take care of such trivial things. “It will be taken care of later from the compensation paid.”
“okay. Do you get paid as soon as you finish?”
“okay. But it’s better not to expect too much.”
“Is the pay low?”
“no. There are such requests, but the Makin family is generous. But you can’t afford to be extravagant with that. “Even if we save up, we will not have enough funds for experiments or research next year.”
No matter how much Einrogard provided support by draining the emperor’s treasury and twisting the beard of the imperial treasurer to extract funds, the wizards’ greed could not be satisfied.
The wizards were a group of people who would shout for more to experiment even if they gave all the gold of the empire.
In the end, in order to practice and experiment with the magic he wanted to his heart’s content, he had to get his own investment, get sponsorship, and earn gold coins.
‘Horrible.’
Lee Han felt a pang in his heart at the fact that the reward he would receive for this work would be jewels that would disappear meaninglessly as an experiment.
What kind of waste is that?
* * *
morning.
As soon as they woke up, people from the Makin family came out to welcome the group who arrived at the port city on a wyvern.
“I’m sorry I called you too hastily. Dear students. “Did you sleep well last night?”
“No need to worry!”
“It’s just camping…”
The students showed off in front of outsiders.
This was something all Einrogard students did.
“…Have you been camping?”
“yes? yes.”
“……”
The people of the Makin family looked at each other in great confusion.
And then he opened his mouth.
“Well, you said you were coming on a wyvern, so I asked the nearby villages where the wyvern could land, but did you say anything?”
“I paid all salaries and asked students to treat me well if they happened to stop by…”
“……”
“……”
The students all turned their heads and glared at the thunderous professor.
