Count Scribe's Tutor

“In fact!”

Irea stops screaming as if to what she's saying.

But this is pointless.

The truth is, I've already made up my mind.

Meanwhile, Ferda takes a step back. It was also because of Irea's approaching, but it was due to a sudden system message.

[Reminder]

An event has occurred that is not on the previous record.

The activation conditions for Hidden Quests have been met.

* Quest Name: [Trial of the Chief]

‘I never thought I'd get another quest. ’

I burst out laughing without even knowing it.

Immediately, I narrowed my eyes and read the message.

However, this level of information alone did not make a good decision about whether it was dangerous. However, given the name of the quest, it looks like we have to do it again.

After a while, the contents of the quest unfolded before my eyes.

[Hidden Quest: Trial of the Chief]

[Completion Condition]

Help candidates pass the exam.

Survival of Silvan Arcdue

(If none is achieved, the quest will fail.)

(Beware that if a quest fails, a huge penalty will occur.)

Bonus Stats [+30]

Help me pass the Chief's test.

The condition made my mouth smile. It's no big deal this time.I had no reason not to.

When Ferda was enjoying her quest, she heard Irea's work from a distance.

“You don't have to worry about that shit! I'll take care of it. ”

Her eyes were filled with worries.

It was worth it. In fact, for Irea, she was just a little grandchild just about to go through her adult ceremony. If I'd seen any real power, I wouldn't be able to say that. Just like Irina over there in the corner.

“I will ask all my clans for their opinions. The chief's test? Now I think that's a gibberish. ”

When Irea vomited furiously.

The starry realm shakes its head.

“It's okay. It's my decision. ”

“What, what? ”

“And somehow I can get through. ”

After leaving Irea with a silly look on her face, she smiles. It was a smile as confident as when you made Mimic and acquired the skill of hijacking.

But even for a moment, he wiped the smile off his mouth. He turned to Kurd and said coldly.

“Swear to me that if you pass the test, you will not do this kind of rudeness. ”

Kurd grins as he snaps. It's not the same. Then he nodded and replied.

“I promise. Then you will be our chief. ”

Of course, that's never gonna happen. His continued expression seemed to say so. Kurd turns away straight away. I didn't have to stay here any longer, unless you told me I'd take the test.

“Then I will prepare you for the test tomorrow. ”

A slight nod lowers his head and leaves the room. Meanwhile, Irea sits dumbfounded and regains her senses. Then he shouted at the quiet one.

“Why didn't you say anything? ”

Irina turns her head as the dung blazes. A dry face with no facial expression change. When I saw that peaceful face, there was even more fire.

“My only nephew is going to take the chief's test! Usually when it comes to practical matters, why don't you behave yourself this time? ”

“Oh, don't worry about it. ”

“What?"

Irea's silver eyebrows twitched.

Irina, on the other hand, replied with a relaxed face.

“This is not the reality of half a year ago. ”

“What did you say? How different would it be in half a year? ”

“It's different. It's enormous. ”

Irina said, "Just cut it." A voice of strong trust.

Then I questioned Irea's face.

What kind of kid is Irina? He used to care so much about overprotective care. That's how he reacts? At this point, I am curious beyond embarrassment.

“So it's okay to just watch. ”

With the answer, she turned her gaze.

Silk thread to chat with Ferda with a smiling face. When I saw the scene, I smiled at Irona's mouth.

“In practice, you can do it well. ”

* * *

The meeting was quickly dismissed due to uninvited guests' interference.

You'd better rest early because you had to prepare for the sudden chief's test. There was no problem there. But there was a problem in a strange place.

“Why · · · · · · · ·. ”

Ferda's eyebrows crumpled.

A stubble shelter just outside the city. He's staying for a while. I can understand that all the outsiders who aren't from the Dark Elves live here.

But the roommate was the problem.

“This is bigger than I thought. ”

Scratching sound from the side. It was Heron.

He used to share the same room with the undead, but most of all, Heron drove Ferda to his death. I couldn't help feeling uneasy even if I didn't want to feel uneasy.

“But · · · · · · · ·. ”

Heron looks around the room, his head twitching.

I understand what you're trying to say. Because before he saw Ferda, his gaze was all over the ceiling, walls and window frames.

And Ferda knew what was there. Immediately after entering the room, I felt a strange magic.

So I took the top notch and threw it into the window frame. To the little bead in the crack in the window frame, to be precise.

Kwaek!

Ferda frowns at the shattered beads.

‘· · · · · · · Watcher's Eye. ’

A magical tool that shows the landscape to the practitioner in its forward range. It is convenient to understand that it is a type of surveillance camera. You don't have to ask who installed it. It must have been Kurd.

‘More reason to lose. ’

He clenches his fist tightly and recovers his apprentice.

Three on the ceiling, two on the wall. I've installed a lot of them. What kind of information would you get by observing the landscape in the room? Heron, who was watching the behavior, asked as if it were strange.

“Can I break it? ”

“Of course. Imagine who's watching you sleep. Don't you feel bad? ”

“I don't care. ”

“What if you think you're watching your daughter? ”

As I pointed to the rabbit doll on the bed, Radina, Heron's glare flashed for a moment. Soon Heron acted on his behalf.

Bang, bang! Puang!

An arrow of magical power pierces the Watcher's eyes in unison. A shard of beads that shatters mountains. Is it the noise? Radina crouches her ears and rises from her seat, rubbing her eyes.

[Whoops, Dad. Where am I?]

“The Dark Elves live here. ”

[Dark Elves?]

Radina moves around. Heron sat on a cold bed and told Radina about what had happened today.

[I see. Are you here to work again today?]

“Well, not a day, but similar. ”

With Heron's answer, Ferda's gaze settles on Radina.

Radina opened her eyes several times a day. In the meantime, I learned that most of Radina's memories flew clean.

It was worth it. The soul of a child under five years old has been locked in a box for over a hundred years. It was a miracle just to remember my father.

‘Rather fortunate. ’

If he remembered anything before he died, he would have gone mad. My mother died in front of me, and I was dragged to the desert, and I died horribly.

It was better to lose my memory.

‘It's a strange sight, but · · · · · · · ·. ’

Undead and rabbit in a mask. It's a strange combination that cannot be said.

However, when I just listened to the conversation, I felt like a harmonious woman. Anyway, since you seem satisfied, I decided not to care anymore.

Then Radina suddenly opened her eyes.

[It's weird. I'm sleepy again.What's wrong?]

“It's okay. You can sleep all you want. ”

[sighs] Good night, taxi.]

After greeting Radina, she fell down on the bed.

After applying the blanket, Heron circles around again. It looks like you're looking for something.

“It's okay. He's gone. ”

You're looking for the Watcher's Eye. Despite the appearance of the undead, my concern for my daughter seemed genuine. Ferda rises from her seat, smiling bloody.

“I'm going to go take care of some business. ”

Suddenly, I remembered that I forgot.

A group of Dark Elves who insulted the realm during the day. When I think of them, my eyes are cold. I was going to beat him so hard that I could never say he was a hybrid again.

I was just about to open the door.

“Are you going to punish the sinner who insulted the king? ”

Suddenly, Heron's voice catches my feet. You don't have to hide it from him. Ferda nods and tries to get out. But the next thing I said, my feet stopped.

“If that's the purpose, you don't have to go. ”

“What?"

“I've tasted enough hell already. ”

Vibrant golden spectacles.

A satisfactory smile settles in Heron's mouth. Looking at this, I felt anxious in reverse. Ferda narrows her eyes and bites.

“· · · · · · · What have you done? ”

“Nothing happened. ”

“No, I heard you just tasted hell. ”

“Nothing happened. ”

I kept trying, but it didn't work. Just like a parrot, only the same answer comes back. Finally, I closed the door again. It looks like you've already done something, so there's no need to waste your time.

Ferda lies on the bed, raising the system window. The chief who was to be tested tomorrow, as well as to clear up what needs to be done in Senek Forest.

After such a busy night.

The next day, the morning of the test was bright.

* * *

“An undead appeared on the eastern edge? ”

The 47th warrior, Wig Marius, frowns. It was because of a sudden report that came up from the morning. Then Deputy Warden looks at the explanation.

“Yes, according to last night's report. ”

“I see you've finally heard the news. What's the damage? ”

“That's... ”

Suddenly I hesitated.

Would he not like to see that attitude? The wig twitches its eyebrows.

“Tell me quickly. I'm late for an appointment. ”

I had plans today. Watching the chief's test. It is a very honorable thing if it is what it is. However, Wig's face was deeply puzzled. Because this chief's test wasn't that important.

"Candidate for Silvan Archdutz"? The other half? "

As soon as I heard. And I was sure it was Kurd who hosted the test. This exam is just a political show. So naturally, I'm interested.

‘It doesn't matter if it's a little late. ’

I'm gonna pass my first test anyway. Maybe you don't have to go. Wigg was not that interested in the chief's test.

Around that time, Urdun's report continued.

“There are five of us. ”

“What?"

“Five victims in total. All of them are less than four orders of magnitude. Common opinion is that they have seen evil spirits or that the top undead have brutally tortured them. ”

His voice continues to shrink.

At the same time, Wigg sighs. A moment later, he asked with a fabulous face.

“· · · · · · Urdun. You think this makes sense? ”

Now I'm beyond embarrassed and out of nowhere. You wasted your time listening to this report? 'I was furious.

“The top undead? If it came out like that, would the chief's test be huge? This area would be a battlefield by now! Did you sell hallucinogens as a group or something? ”

“I think I saw something. I'll take care of it. ”

Urdun nods in haste. Seeing that, I felt a little calm. However, the crumpled face still does not return.

After a moment of deliberation, Wig mutters in a stiff voice.

“Four-digit warriors just became warriors. ”

“No, that's right. ”

“Demote them all to apprenticeship. You have to start all over again to wake up. Don't those punks who call themselves guards have to understand that? ”

“· · · · · · · Yes, I understand. ”

Urdun's face darkens. It is because we must preach the message to the five warriors. But Wigg wasn't the point.

“I'll be back then, so call me if you have anything special. ”

You clap your shoulders as if to work hard, and Wigg steps out of the room. Close to noon. I was an hour late to my exam, but I was not worried.

“Tsk! Kurd is up to no good. If you are confident in your skills, you can justly confront Yina. ”

An annoying moping wig with a powerful face.

You hear multiple footsteps behind you. A dozen Dark Elves pass by him, turning their heads in wonder. Not only that, some climb on trees and some run through forest roads.

There's only one direction they're headed.

It was the central square where the chief was tested.

“What is it?”

Suddenly, Wig narrows his eyes.

Then his ears twitch. It was because I overheard a conversation from a young warrior.

“Half of them have broken the bar! ”

“What? Really? ”

“How did you win? Barheem is a three-digit warrior! ”

In the news, Wig opened his eyes wide.

As I heard, Varsham is a strong man who enters within ten fingers of the Sturgeon clan. Although he is now a three-digit warrior, he is considered to be within two orders of magnitude in the next three years.

Half the men against a warrior like that, Silvan Archdut, have won?

As I was trembling with unbelievable news, I heard the conversation again.

“I don't know, I just heard it. ”

“Hey, enough chitchat and let's go. ”

“Everyone's on their way to see the news! ”

At the end of the conversation, the warriors speed up their pace.

Then Wig could no longer walk leisurely. Intriguing curiosity prompted me to take a step toward the square.
