Count Scribe's Tutor

Chapter. 23

Choice of practice

“Huff! Huff! ”

The man ran like crazy.

Spikes scratched my skin and splashed sand and gravel, but I didn't mind.

Soon after, I found the perfect place to hide my body, while my rough breath reached the end of my chin.

A small excavation.

I hid myself in it. When I tried to suppress my beating heart.

His eyes tremble violently.

“What the hell is going on? ”

Ecourd Mourvane.

He was a warrior under Kurd's command. Yesterday afternoon, Kurt was incarcerated, and a tight squeeze descended on him. Going straight to the Giants and asking for military support.

I was in a hurry because it was urgent. I finally delivered Kurd's will to the Giant chieftain and promised him support. I liked it there.

But at dawn today, trouble broke out.

“Ugh, ugh! ”

Thinking about what happened earlier, my body trembled.

It was a sight that aroused doubts in both eyes.

A gloomy dawn that never rises.

Beyond the mist, two unidentified beings find the home of the Giants. A woman with a small body, a mask, and a big man.

I was interested and wanted to observe because I had never seen them before. But I couldn't. Because right after that, hell opened up in front of Eckerd's eyes.

“Why, uh, the Undead. ”

The undead are who they are.

They even belong to the Supreme Undead. It was the commander who was resurrected from the dead, the Death Witch, and the strangless knight, Dullahan.

It took less than five minutes for all the Giants to be exterminated.

After that, they brought the Giants back to life as dead men.

The last thing he saw was Eckerd fleeing with all his might.

“· · · · · · I have to tell Kurd quickly. ”

We can't expect the help of the Giants.

At any cost, I had to ask the Barbarians in the desert for help. With a strong sense of mission, Eckerd rises to his feet. It was to run again.

But I couldn't.

“Cough!”

At last, Eckert rises to the sky. Something about a rope grabs him by the neck. As I coughed because I couldn't breathe, I heard a strange voice in the forest.

“Sweetheart, what's the rush? ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

The voice I didn't want to hear.

It was the Witch of Death who saw it at the Giant's residence. Then, the knight on the skull horse, with a thumping footnote, appeared.

“A flea can't run. Give it up."

The head on the saddle stammers.

Seeing the bizarre sights, he struggles. It was a struggle to get out, but the two undead have seen nothing but worthless moves.

“Yes, yes. I'll listen to anything you have to say. ”

The witch reaches out. His arm twitches like an octopus's leg and quickly split into five halves. Then he squeezed his mouth, nose and ears and started stirring his brain in an instant.

“Glug! Glug." ”

Unbelievable and terrible pain.

The eyes flip over and foam pours out of your mouth. A limp echid, trembling and trembling. Meanwhile, the witch flashes a blue glare as if she knew something new.

“Oh, I see. That's why I came to see them. ”

A witch with an elongated nod.

Durahan looks at it and wonders.

“Did you find something? ”

“Looks like we've got ourselves a dark elf. ”

“Dark Elves?”

“What do I do if I look close to here? ”

The witch points northeast and asks your opinion. Durahan considers for a moment, then flashes his eyelight as if he had made a decision.

“It would be nice to increase your numbers and help the king with his army. ”

“Hehe, yes. I was thinking the same thing. ”

The witch bursts out a low smile.

She then taps Eckerd's corpse. After a while, Eckert slowly gets up from his seat with his eyes turned upside down. The witch strokes the dead man, then talks to the other side of the bush.

“My lovely children, come here. ”

I'm afraid the Witch's words will end.

Bang, bang!

Covered in dense forests, they reveal themselves.

It was the Giants, the ones who were only three stories tall. The Giants have turned into undead, trampling through the forest with the witch's hands.

Destination northeast.

It was the city of the Dark Elves, Le Shante.

* * *

The time.

Night Spirits, the story inside the bridge is over.

A room full of heavy silence. While no one could say anything easily, he asked with an unbelievable face that the elders who had gathered their minds could not believe.

“Th-that's true?! ”

“The Giants are coming here. ”

No one doubted the words on the bridge. The Bridge was a ‘Spirit’ who had served as the Guardian of the Forest for many years. Ferda gladly looks at it from behind.

‘Good thing I said it beforehand. ’

No one would have listened to him if it wasn't for the bridge.

I feel more comfortable. Ferda's face smiles with a satisfactory smile.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the room was cool like ice. According to the bridge, the situation is like a sinner bringing in a foreign tax. Severely stiffened, an elder carefully raises his hand.

“By the way. ”

Everyone's gaze was on the elder.

Immediately, the elder asked with a face that did not overcome the curiosity.

“But how can a ghost be with humans? ”

It was a slightly off-topic question, but there was no one to contend with it. I wondered why the bridge sat on Ferda's shoulders, as did everyone else.

On the other hand, the Bridge replied with a rather unorthodox tone.

What's wrong with hanging out with a contractor?]

After a short answer, the surrounding area became silent for a moment.

However, for a moment, the room turned upside down.

“Yes?! ”

“Did you say you were a contractor? ”

“The ghost · · · · · · · · · · · of the contractor! ”

[Yeah, I made a deal last night.]

My chest is breathed out with joy in my legs. I smiled unconsciously with a proud attitude. At that time, the eyebrows were flimsy, but no one noticed.

After a while, the elders still asked with embarrassed faces.

“Then · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“What about the Guardian of the Forest? ”

[We have to pick a new one. What's going on?]

In the bridge, he struggled with a grumpy tone.

Elders who look discouraged. At that time, the bridge jumped down.

In a bridge that quickly approached the elders while moving the pavement. He then pointed to where Ferda was headed.

[Anyway, he's my contractor. So if you ignore them or laugh at them like you did before, And then you don't have to tell me, right?]

The darkness in the room rumbles as you smile in your legs.

The elders shut their mouths as they watched the threat. Well, I'm glad you signed up. Ferda was smiling happily.

“Teacher.”

Silent thread grabs the collar.

Turning around, you see a slightly stiff smile. It's unnatural. Why are you making that face? By the time I thought about it, reality was speaking again.

“I'd like to hear more about last night's deal. ”

Oh, come to think of it, you haven't told the truth.

After realizing this later, Ferda opened her mouth straight away. And then the reason he signed with the bridge and his special abilities.

A moment later, the realm turned into a surprised face.

“You can hide the Undead? ”

“Yes, now you can stretch your bonds as much as you want. ”

Of course, we can't have thousands of them. There's a limit to how many numbers the bridge can hide. Meanwhile, after his explanation, reality was briefly troubled.

Then I opened my mouth again.

“Uh, so... ”

Frowning, tidying up your thoughts.

Soon, he pointed to himself with a slightly surprised face and asked.

“Is that why you signed this contract for me? ”

“Well, technically. ”

I'm not entirely wrong.

The biggest reason we made a deal with the bridge is to hide the existence of the Undead. Ferda's answer opened her eyes wide.

Then I smiled.

“Heh heh. That's enough. ”

A genuine smile. It's the opposite of the smile I was forced to make. You must be satisfied with the reason for the contract. Ferda laughs thinking that way.

You hear Irea's cry from afar.

“Harmin!”

“Yes, Chief. ”

Harmin bows.

Irea's face hardened. I heard the story on the bridge and seemed to have made up my mind. After a moment, she commands you with a voice as stiff as her face.

“Assemble the warriors now. ”

Irea picks up the spear when she wakes up from her seat. The flames of the red gun wrap around the spear. With a willingness to participate in the battle directly, she said.

“I will drive out the Giants and capture Kurd. ”

“I've got orders! ”

Harmin leaves the room with a resounding shout.

Soon all the warriors of Le Shante gathered together.

* * *

“Raise the fence! ”

“The opponent is a Giant. I don't even have a chin this high! ”

The warriors move swiftly.

As a result of Irea's summoning the warriors. The news of the Giants is spreading across the city, and all the warriors gathered together, except Kurdish warriors.

“Don't use your arrows against the Giants! ”

“Bring me the timer now! ”

“Prepare boiling oil, too. Hurry up!"

Is it because of the many warriors who have tried? Le Shante has become more and more fortified.

Meanwhile, the best archers gather in front of the Northern Cave. It was for some sort of mission. Then a man stood before them.

“There is only one purpose for our house! ”

He is the ninth Forest Warrior and the most powerful archer in the clan.

Alter Berrigh explains the mission of the Starfleet towards the forty archers gathered ahead.

“Defeating as many Giants as possible outside the city! Remember that if you fight in Le Shante, the damage will increase! ”

“Yes!”

Alter grins as he hears a loud shout.

He looked at each archer and said,

“Let's all live and meet again. ”

One final word of strong aspiration.

The common archer heads out of the cave. Irea turns away after her eyes have filled the view of the stars.

“I'm sorry to get you involved in this. ”

Ferda and Silvan were the only ones who could see her. And in reality, they were the lines of action. Irea lowers her head and speaks with a sincere voice.

“You don't have to put yourself in danger because of us. ”

I wanted to ask for help like a chimney. In fact, Ferda was the one who defeated a hundred solo warriors in the second round. But Irea knew it was a shameless act.

“We have to solve our problems. Take a break. ”

After that, Irea turns around and heads out.

Quack, quack, quack!

After the visit was closed, the room became silent.

Suddenly, darkness rises over Ferda's shoulder.

[Maybe they all went to fight.]

It was in the bridge.

He sits somewhere on his shoulders, talking.

And you don't fight?]

Ferda nods quietly.

I didn't want to interfere as much as I did. No matter how dead the Dark Elves were, he honestly didn't care.

‘No, I'd rather die. ’

If you bring a corpse back to the Undead, at least I won't despise you.

You have a cold smile on Ferda's mouth.

On the other hand, he looked troubled. It was obvious what he was thinking. You're thinking about whether or not you can help the battle. Of course, it's because of Irea and Irina, families, not to save their own kind.

[Yeah, well, I don't really care.]

Darian had no great attachment to the Dark Elves either. Is that what this is about? Just hanging around Ferda's shoulders, not trying to do anything.

How long has it been?

Hmm?

[Wait, this is...]

Suddenly, the ghosts bash their heads together.

They ask permission, and then Smurf disappears out the window. The ghosts soon reappeared. Straight to the realm, he talks to her.

[My king.]

[I smell death on the outside.]

“The smell of death? ”

The ghosts continued to answer me as I questioned the truth.

[Yes, it's the smell of the dead.]

[It's similar to what you used to do in the cemetery.]

If the ghosts say it's the smell of death, I can feel the energy of the violent undead. When the realm opened its eyes. This time, the bridge sitting on Ferda's shoulder crumpled his face.

[Ugh! Ferda. I can smell dead bodies out there.]

“Not here? ”

[She still flies a little, but it's very nasty out there.]

The bridge points its wings out the window.

Then, finally, I made a cry that didn't last long.

[Yeah, I'm sorry, can I take a break and come back?]

Ferda nods happily. I don't need it right now anyway. As soon as permission fell, the bridge melted back into the darkness.

On the other hand, he looked out the window with an anxious look.

Then I tapped Ferda's knee.

“Hey, Ferda. I'm sorry. ”

“You want to go outside? ”

I could feel what I wanted just by looking at my eyes and actions. She nods with an awkward face and rises from her seat as if she knew.

“Yes. Let's go out. ”

I was just wondering what the night spirit smelled so nasty it ran away from me. I opened the tightly closed door and went out.

Immediately, the outside landscape opened before their eyes.
