Count Scribe's Tutor

Chapter 15. Serek's Lion (2)

"· · · · · · · A lion came from Senek Forest?"

The report narrows the eyes of Earl Archdut.

"Yes, they're on their way here now."

Along with Eil's answer, the Earl began tapping the table with his fingers. It is a habit of thinking more often.

How long has it been?

You hear a knock outside the door.

Knock, knock.

"Let them in."

The door opened as soon as permission was given. You see the knight bowing his head and the man in the red robe. A creature in a white mask. The lion of Sernerk. He walks away without even looking at the erl.

Overwhelmed

Aile takes a step forward with a rough approach. It was to prepare for something unpleasant that could happen. Luckily that didn't happen. The lion stopped at his post, leaving only an Earl and ten steps behind.

After a while, the lion took out a token. It was a token of the covenant I saw when I went through the gate. The Earl nods silently, and the lion opens its closed mouth.

"As promised, I'm here to retrieve the silvan arcade."

A husky voice that squeezes out your lips.

The earl hears this and wrinkles in his eyes.

"Shouldn't you take off your mask first?"

"Why would I do that?"

"That's the manners of the human world."

"I'm not human. So I'm under no obligation to follow."

A resolute refusal came out. At the same time, she frowns. No matter how allied an alliance may be, Earl Archdute is the owner of this land. But he's got that attitude?

"The law is still · · · · · · · · ·."

Suddenly, the Earl raises his hand as he tries to say something irritating. Be quiet. Then she immediately closed her mouth like when.

"Your voice gives me a sense of who you are."

The Earl narrows his eyes and smiles.

"I didn't think you'd come. Irina Sernerk."

"· · · · · · Don't say my name out loud. Earl."

Irina growls low. I felt uncomfortable just hearing my voice. But the erl neither apologized nor panicked.

"Aile, make a guest accommodation."

I was just giving instructions to Ail.

However, Irina shakes her head. It means I don't intend to stay. However, the opinion was not important.

"You must be tired from the long journey. Let's take a break first."

All butlers put the will of their masters first.

Aile approaches with a smile. I was taking Irina to her place. However, it was only a matter of time before I had to stop.

Boom!

It was because Irina slammed the floor with her feet. When the floor trembles with a big bang, the knight waiting outside enters the surprised face.

After getting everyone's attention, Irina said briefly.

"Bring the thread first."

As soon as I finished saying that, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

The Earl started pressuring Irina with a terrifying force. The power of the sorcerer. If he had been ordinary, he would have remained on his knees.

However, there was no change in Irina. Rather, he straightens his waist and looks at the Earl face.

I wonder if he didn't like that attitude. The Earl's forehead is wrinkled. But there's nothing more to say. Eventually, the Earl regained his strength by kicking his tongue low.

"Tsk! Bring him here."

"Yes, I'll be right back."

With Aile's answer, the noise around her disappears.

Only one room left. The silent atmosphere continues like a calm lake. When no one seemed to open their mouth quickly.

"Isn't this enough?"

The Earl suddenly breaks the silence. The answer never came back. Nevertheless, the Earl continued.

"For half a year, I've seen a lot of convenience. According to Irina's will, I also taught as a nobleman and also as a family teacher. Burke Lockwood, one of the family's greatest knights, taught me how to use a sword. I think I've done enough."

"· · · · · ·."

"That doesn't mean I'm going to kick it out right now. I will take care of them here until I reach seventeen, as promised, even after the adulthood ceremony is over. So isn't it time to let the chains go?"

In the last words, there was a strong hunger.

Finally, the Earl closes his mouth. After a while, Irina raises her chin slightly. You hear a husky voice through the mask.

"Irina was a good and wise child. He wasn't easy to doubt, hated to doubt. I hated the damage even more."

A dull voice suddenly trembled.

It's not because you're nervous. It's anger. Irina struggles, suppressing her fury.

"· · · · · · · · The child who did. That too, dear one. If you knew what this meant, you'd still know."

As Irina grips her teeth, the Earl suddenly rises from his place. He clenches his fist at the top of his chest and opens his mouth with a splenic face.

"I swear on my name."

"Don't play tricks on me. I don't trust humans."

The erl, however, did not make it to the end. Irina cut off his horse at once. Soon after, Irina growled with a threatening voice.

"So go get some practice. No matter what you say, my decision will not change."

Knock, knock.

Irina's words end horribly, and someone knocks on the door.

It was Aile who went to pick up the shoe.

"Earl, I have brought you the third Confucius."

"· · · · · · Come in."

The Earl mutters with a low sigh.

Soon after, the door opens.

* * *

Profit

The white door opens. There were two who immediately came into view. One was an Earl sitting in a chair and the other a stranger.

The one in the red robe. Apparently, he wore a mask there. He must be a Sergek lion. But there was a question.

It's not Harmin. ’

Ferda tilts her head. Because that's not what the serenade in the novel looked like.

A man in a turquoise robe in a white mask. He was a lion from the Sernerk Forest. If there was anything unusual, he was very large. My head was so close to the ceiling.

However, everything was the opposite except that the person in front of him wore a mask. Even Rob's colors were different.

Did someone else come? ’

When I thought about it, Irina, who was far away, opened her mouth.

"In fact."

A husky voice, but a different one than when you dealt with the Earl. Irina's voice tightly tickled her ear like the spring wind.

As soon as I heard that voice, the reality set my ears. Soon after, the golden eyes changed enormously. In reality, he mutters in a trembling voice, realizing who the owner of his voice is.

"Yi, Yi or Yi?"

"I'm sorry. I didn't expect to be so late."

Irina has moved on. He immediately approached the thread and stroked his hair gently.

"You've grown so much. You've been through a lot, haven't you?"

From the look of his hands, it seemed like he didn't stroke it once or twice. He nods quietly, without clearing his embarrassment.

"Yeah, well, I guess things have changed a little bit."

"Me?"

"Spirits are getting bigger. Darker in color."

His gaze was set on Irina's head. Irina asked again in a surprised tone.

"Did you recognize it? How?"

"Huh? I just saw it."

It's been a long time since I've seen you two talking.

Ferda glances at Irina quietly.

‘· · · · · · · Irina Sernerk. ’

The Second Warrior of the Serenek Forest. A skilled spearer, dealing with all weapons. Moreover, he is also very talented in animosity. Twin sisters of Irina Sernerek, daughter of chief Dark Elf and mother of the realm.

In reality, it is like being an aunt.

Why are you here? ’

Ferda's eyes narrow.

From the beginning, Irina was the only one to meet after going to the Serenk Forest. I've been doing it all season.

But this time it was different.

A different evolution from the original resurfacing. I'm not happy about this. As his glance frowns, he suddenly hears the Earl's voice.

"As promised, I won't stop you from taking the silvan arcade."

Slightly stiff voice. Everyone's gaze was on him.

Then the Earl spoke again.

"But Silvan Archdut is one of the candidates who will succeed me. It's true that no matter how brave a warrior you are, you can still feel uneasy."

As soon as the erl's words were finished, Irina snorted. Cold laughter. It was the same with Ferda. Whether he knew their insides or not, the Earl continued silently.

"That's why I'm going to put a guard on this side as well. Ferda Inoside."

A sudden name. However, I was not embarrassed.

Ferda kneels on the ground immediately.

"Yes, Earl."

"As your next of kin, take care of your silvan arcade."

The erl intends to keep an eye on the realm. And now there is only one person who is best suited to carry out this mission in the Archduke. It was only Ferda who had been in contact with the fabric for the longest time.

‘And one more thing. ’

In the original, a secret mission is assigned to you. Should I give you the same mission this time? With that thought, I bowed my head quietly.

"I'll follow orders."

There's a smile on Ferda's mouth, hidden in the shade.

* * *

After business is concluded, Ferda is left alone in her room.

It was the Earl's call. A moment later, the Earl reappears, and Ferda rises to her feet.

"Earl Ferda Inosida."

"There you go. I got the greeting."

The Earl sitting across from you.

He spoke with an awkward face.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you."

"No. As a hired man, it's natural to follow orders."

Do you think I like Ferda's answer? A smile was placed on the Earl's mouth. After that, the servant gave me a car while giving and receiving a blatant appearance. And when the door closed again, the Earl's expression suddenly changed.

"I called you alone because I have work to do."

I think I'm about to embark on the "secret mission." Ferda lowers her head quietly. The Earl smiles satisfactorily, obedient.

"Take this first."

Tuk

A leather pouch. It sounds dull and contains coins.

"It's a woman. It's quite a distance to the Serenek Forest, so use it." "

"Thank you."

You'd better keep this cold.

I don't hate people. I don't hate money.

"If Irona is who she says she is, she'll be out of here within the day. Now that I have the instructions at the South Gate, don't make a fuss and go out quietly."

"Yes, I understand."

"And the next one is about Senek Forest."

It is quite difficult to listen to the information I know. Moreover, if you want to pretend to understand while nodding your head with a serious face, you will become tired.

Ferda insists on the yawning and listens to the Earl.

"· · · · · · · About the last mission I will give you."

Finally came to the point.

At the same time, the Earl took out a piece of paper. It was a paper with quite a unique symbol on it. A picture of the sun and the moon overlapping, and a symbol that appears to be pierced by swords, spears and arrows.

Ferda knows what this is. But here, I had to pretend not to know. So I deliberately narrowed my eyes and looked at the pattern.

"Well, is it?"

"You don't need to know."

Do you think he's unconscious?

A cold voice comes from the Earl's mouth. After spitting it out, I added an explanation with a slightly softer tone.

"If you see something like this, bring it with all your might. This is a matter of great comfort to our Earl."

The voice was stiff and desperate.

The Earl, who kept his mouth shut for a while, also promised a dramatic repayment.

"If you succeed, I'll give you a knighthood and two hundred peasants. You may use the flag of Winterrest if you wish."

You even gave permission to use a fallen family name.

Conditions that can be swallowed by anyone. Original Ferda frowned here for a moment, then bowed her head a few times thanks. So it's best to imitate them as similarly as possible.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course. I promise you in my name."

Ferda did her best. I clenched my fist so tightly that there was blood on the back of my hand. Then he shouted with a splendid face.

"· · · · · · · Yes, I understand. No matter what happens, we will succeed!"

"Yes, I trust you."

The erl tapped him on the shoulder with a joyful face.

With a different thought, a smile appeared on the mouths of the two men.

* * *

After the meeting with the Earl.

Ferda heads straight for the living room. It was a matter of business for Irina Sernerk.

Why did you come as a lion? ’

Is there some kind of altercation in the Sergei Forest? Or did the first disaster start a little faster? A lot of questions were tailed.

Then something stood in his way.

Tuk-tuk

"What is this?"

Ferda frowns, standing in the middle of the hall.

I can see the landscape across, but I can't get through. It was because there was something blocking the way in front of it as if it had been blocked with transparent glass. Then I had a hunch.

"Could it be an animosity?"

I've seen something like this in the original.

An intangible wall that defends against swarming enemies and allies. By the time I thought about it, I heard a sudden laughter in the air.

[Amazing. I never thought humans would spot this.]

[Hahaha! That's right, the wall we built.]

[Irina asked me to. If the Humans come, stop them.]

I couldn't see him.

But when I heard a loud voice, I felt a sense of who it was.

‘Wind Spirit. ’

Moreover, it seemed almost certain to me that I was humbled by the chatter of drinking even without asking. Whether you know who you are or not, the spirits hiss in an elongated, bright voice.

[So go home quietly.]

[Yes, don't lose your strength.]

[Ordinary humans will never break this.]

Ferda smiles with a confident answer.

Let's see if we can't break it.

At that moment, the Arcane's seal was drawn from the blade.
