Count Scribe's Tutor

Chapter. 28

Ancient History

This summer was very hot.

Now it was only early June, but the kingdom was suffering from an ongoing flood. Not to mention the southern part of the desert. But not here, not as much as the Frost Lake.

I didn't know why. Just a long time ago, the blizzard hasn't stopped here. One of the reasons why the Senek Forest was called the Scarf was the existence of the Frost Lake.

Where the weight loss has lasted for hundreds of years.

That's why no one can live there. But there were exceptions everywhere.

Dad, it's snowing.]

Radina screams, jumping up and down. Radina bursts into an elongated smile as if her snowy eyes were strangely piled up.

“Haha, don't go too far. ”

Heron gladly looks at it.

The sight seemed to see a woman leaving the picnic. The cold wind blows like a storm, but the two remain calm as if they were nothing.

Ferda and reality, on the other hand, were a little different.

Whoo-hoo!

The icy wind blows. In the cold of cutting flesh, the silk firmly grips the coat made of fleece. Even for a moment, his complexion was bluishly dull.

Ferda asked as if she was worried.

“You okay?"

“Ugh, ugh. No, it's okay. ”

You hear a trembling voice.

You don't look good at all. Ferda sighs and pulls out the hot stone inside her coat. Then he put it on the cheek of a blue bored tray.

“Hold on to this. ”

“But Ferda would be cold. ”

“Something like this. It's going to be okay. ”

Of course it's a lie. The presence or absence of heating stones in this environment was quite different. But you can't show weakness in front of your disciples. Ferda grinned forcefully to give the warming stone to the actress who didn't want to receive it.

Then I walked around straight away.

“Well, on the map, it's nearby. ”

The place he's looking for is the entrance to a cave that runs all the way to the bottom of the Frost Lake.

I checked a few times to see if I came to the wrong place, but I found the right one. However, there was no sign of a cave entrance. All I saw was a field of white snow.

“Could it have been in the snow? ”

At that time, the realm muttered.

The warming stone on the cheek makes the face turn red. Ferda nods as if it could be.

[Then, my king.]

[We will take a look and come.]

Then three ghosts appeared.

Shortly after they disappeared, the icy winds suddenly stopped.

At the same time, my vision was wide open. What you see behind you is an icy ridge that rises. I thought I could avoid the wind down there.

Whoo-hoo!

The wind blows again, terrified to reach the bottom of the hill.

Hangi Smurfs up the hill, but still much better than the icy winds. Ferda takes out the warm soup she put in her inventory and gives it to the realtor.

“Thank you. I'll drink to that. ”

I drank a little soup while smiling.

Before coming here, Ferda explained her inventory to Silvan. I didn't want to carry a backpack as big as a snowball, and I needed an explanation someday.

‘If I had known this, I would have told you earlier. ’

I told her it was some kind of magical backpack, but I can't believe I just walked away. Ferda shrugs her shoulders and puts the soup in her mouth as well. As the warm food passed through my throat and into my stomach, I felt much better.

All that's left now is to wait for the ghosts.

Then suddenly, I opened my mouth.

“Radina's really good. ”

Not far from the Ice Hills.

Radina rolls her eyes hard. Even though the snowball was twice as big as his body, it didn't look hard at all. Radina is making a snowman out of a glimpse.

As I watched the scene, I smiled as I looked at it.

Ferda also replied with a funny voice.

“I'm still young. You won't even know it's cold. ”

It wasn't just Radina. Not only Heron, but even ghosts without flesh did not feel the cold. At least at this moment, the Undead was envious.

[Heehee, done!]

Around that time, Radina, who finished the snowman, exclaimed with joy.

But you seem a little anxious. It was because my head was bigger than my torso. But perhaps, Radina looks at Ferda with a smile in the bathroom.

He's your snowman!]

Ferda smiled unknowingly at the cute figure.

I suddenly realized that I was waving to Radina. Is your head bigger than your body? Wait, something's not right. As soon as that thought hit my brain, suddenly, the reality next to me opened my mouth.

“But I don't see you today. ”

“Huh? What? ”

“The one called the Spirit of the Night. ”

Oh, you mean in the bridge. Ferda replies with a rather unorthodox tone.

“He said he'll be back after a short break. He used to say it was bedtime during the day. ”

I had a lot of trouble on the bridge last night.

I've worked to remove 12,000 undead scams. I cried out that it wasn't in the terms of the contract, but I tried to ignore it.

“Time to sleep during the day. ”

I nodded my head as if I were thinking.

He then smiles oddly and looks at Ferda.

“That's good information. I'll keep that in mind.”

Why is this good information?

I tilted my head, but the answer never came back. In fact, I'm just looking at him with a smile. Shortly after, the eyes Radina had made could not overcome the weight of her head and collapsed.

[My king.]

[Found the entrance.]

The three spirits who had left have returned.

They were wandering around the room, talking.

[The king's prediction was right.]

[There's an entrance just below here.]

“How deep is it? ”

[Right underneath.]

[We just need to dig a little deeper.]

Immediately after hearing it, he called Heron. Soon after, he joined Ferda and began to dig out the snow beneath his feet.

How long has it been?

Ka 'ang!

Sharp noises that come out of nowhere. It sounds like you hit steel with steel. I think I found it. As you clear all the surrounding eyes, you see a huge door leading underground.

There was something that caught my eye.

“This is · · · · · · · · ·. ”

A door made of steel had letters engraved on it. The problem was that it was the first text I had ever seen. On the other hand, I carefully examined whether the text looked familiar or not.

“I've been somewhere · · · · · · · · ·. Ah! Ancient language. ”

Ancient tongue.

A text that was used about a thousand years ago now.

However, Ferda was unable to read the ancient language. This was true as well. You shake your head, saying you don't know anything about the Ancient Hertemperature.

Then, I heard the answer from a place I had not thought of.

[I warn you, this is a catastrophic tomb.]

[If only you had the strength to end the disaster.]

[Drop the drop of blood, prove your worth.]

Ghosts gather their mouths and raise their voices. The realm opened its eyes and asked.

Do you know how to read? ”

[Yes, my king.]

[Do you want me to continue?]

“Yes, please. ”

Not long after that.

Ferda hears the ghosts from the realm.

“A tomb of disaster." ”

If the plague here means all death, he must have come to the right place. I looked around excitedly. However, no matter how much we looked, it was not written about how to open the door.

I can't help it if it's like this.

The only way to prove myself is to drop the drop of blood like he said.

Spatula

A slight slice of the left hand ring is cut out of the scepter. Soon there was a red drop of blood. Let's drop a few drops of blood over a locked lock, burp! The lock is unlocked with a shout.

I guess this was the right answer.

Kuku ku ku!

The iron door opens with a loud noise.

The only thing that follows is the darkness of Sacca. You throw a chunk of ice that rolls around because it looks deep enough. It was to assess how deep it was.

But I didn't hear a sound.

As Ferda's eyebrows narrowed, a strange faint creature emerges.

Bang, bang!

A thick iron pillar bursting from the wall.

A few moments later, the stairs leading down to the basement are completed. After knocking a few times, I felt safe enough to go down.

“Shall we go down? ”

He nods and grabs Ferda's hand.

In the meantime, Ferda takes out the ore she took in advance. It was very dark beyond the stairs. However, if you have this, you can avoid walking around and stumbling.

About ten minutes from it.

As the group disappears underground, the iron gate suddenly moves again.

Kuku ku ku! Chug!

A closed iron door with a loud noise.

Likewise, the lock is locked tightly, like when it was opened. After the icy breeze, the entrance quickly covered with white snow.

* * *

The stairs leading to the basement were very deep.

I walked for more than an hour, but I couldn't see the end. Whether the continuous staircase was boring, Radina fell asleep in Heron's arms.

After walking down as much as I have since then.

You finally see the end of the stairs. What followed was a corridor leading somewhere. The passageway was the only corridor, so the group took a step without hesitation.

Then the thread that was circling around opened its mouth.

“But this isn't a cave. ”

“It's more of an artificial architecture. ”

Ferda takes his word and mutters.

It was rather old, but the walls and floors of the hallway were not made naturally. Someone artificially places a brick and wipes the floor.

‘Just what it looks like is a dungeon. ’

But it can't be. I didn't even get a system message.

I also didn't feel any popularity around it. There didn't seem to be any monsters or traps. It was just a long road forward. As I was walking for a long time, I saw the end of the road.

This is a small room.

It was about the size of three or four inn dogs combined. On the right side of the room, you see a metal door similar to the one you saw before you came in. And once again, an unknown ancient language was engraved.

At that time, the reality of listening to the spirits opened his mouth.

“You, I declare to those who have proven you worthy, I will verify whether you are our enemy or not. This is a test of light. Prove you are a Guardian in front of the Sacred Stone. ”

What kind of riddle is this?

Ferda tilts her head curiously. Then he spoke to the spirits again and immediately opened his mouth.

“If you're going to take the test, drop a drop of blood here. And if you don't, the door won't open? ”

Suddenly, I was irritated by the answers I heard.

You're just gonna smash it? I thought about it, but I stopped. It's even more troubling if it opens up vaguely. This was nowhere near the original.

‘There's nothing I can do. ’

I have no choice but to respond to what is called verification.

Ferda cuts off the other ring and drops the drop of blood. After a while, you hear a commotion.

“Huh? Over there. ”

I opened my eyes wide as if I was surprised.

The retreat was blocked. And one more thing. As the stone wall on all sides rotated, the opposite wall appeared. But it wasn't a stone wall. It was all made of mirrors.

What the hell is he doing?

When a strange anxiety was spreading.

Hiccup!

Something came down from the ceiling. A stone slightly larger than an apple. At first, I thought it was just an ordinary rock, but in detail, there were two special things.

One is that the color of the stone is white as snow.

And the other is that the symbolic symbol of the sun god is engraved. Upon seeing this, Ferda opened her eyes.

Although not here, I've seen similar descriptions elsewhere.

The zombie's body collapsed in an instant. In front of the fire, the lower undead quickly turns to dust as if the ice had melted, and their bodies are burned without any resistance from the higher undead.

In fact, I frowned painfully. His gaze touched the sun's holy stone far away.

A white stone engraved with a symbol that symbolizes the sun god.

That's the heart of the sun. It is a treasure that proves she is a holy woman and is the highest stone in the Sun Temple that burns unclean power.

When the fifth round was captured.

The heart of the sun, the stone held by the Holy Lady of the Sun as the helper of the Holy Nation. The stone that appeared on the ceiling was creepy enough as it was.

Besides, I thought it was a test of light.

“No way. ”

Ferda's eyes were flickering.

Suddenly, I felt a tremendous amount of power from the white stone. Contrary to the negative forces of reality, the power of pure holiness to purify everything.

The moment I felt this, all hesitation disappeared.

“Damn it, Silvan! Get down!”

I turned around and struck the wall. I wasn't satisfied there. He quickly takes off his coat and wraps himself around his body.

“Fe, Ferda?! ”

Suddenly, he shouted in shock.

But I closed my mouth to a face that looked urgent. It seems you have a hunch that something strange is about to happen.

And that moment.

Paaaahhhh!

There was a blinding glow. Suddenly, the light illuminates the room, reflecting off the mirrors on all sides, and pours straight towards the group.

At the same time, a strange scream followed.

[Ahhhh! Horse, magical power.]]

[Wow, King. Avoid! Huff!]

The ghosts scream in agony.

Of course. The power of purity is superimposed on ghosts and spirits. If they were undead, their very existence would be extinct, as depicted in the original.

“Huff!”

Heron was also unharmed.

While his knees were bent, he hugged Radina tightly. I didn't have enough for two robes. He was willing to protect his daughter even when he fell.

“What, what? What's wrong with you people?! ”

On the other hand, there seemed to be no damage except for the embarrassment. Ferda's actions were well taken in advance, but there was one more reason.

‘Eyes of the Moon. ’

The necklace was shining brightly. It seems to have responded to the power of the divine. Ironically, but thanks to the sacred object that suppressed power, reality was able to be saved from the sacred light.

As far as I'm concerned, Ferda jumps to her feet.

I figured out a way to get out of the crisis.

He squeezes his cloak around him, shouting at someone straight away.
