Count Scribe's Tutor

“In the bridge!”

Is it the urgent voice?

At the end of the call, the bridge appeared in horror. Ferda, who saw this, cried out, pointing to the afflicted spirits and Heron.

“Surround the curtain of the night for everyone but me! ”

The Night Curtain is capable of restoring the magical power of sound dimensions. If you wrap your body around the veil, you also have the ability to block the sacred power.

Of course, you can't attack while the veil is closed. It was still the best fit for this situation.

[Yes, I understand!]

Whether he realized the situation was serious or not, his legs constantly responded.

A few moments later, the Black Veil envelops the group, except for Ferda. Then the scream subsided a little. After confirming this, Ferda sighs for relief.

‘At least there was a bridge. ’

What if there was no Spirit of the Night? I was embarrassed just thinking about it.

The Stone is shattered, so I won't lose my ability. Even if you crush them to powder, the Divine Power would still pressure the party.

Ferda narrows her eyes and stares at the stone coming down from the ceiling.

"I'm sure. The heart of the sun. ’

Why is that in a place like this?

Do you think the Sun's Holy Spirit visits here from the beginning?

All sorts of questions and guesses filled my mind. Then suddenly something caught his eye.

“That's · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Looking closely, there is a small hourglass next to it.

“Are you saying you can hold out for that long? ”

It was accepted only in that way.

Compared to the amount of sand accumulated with the time elapsed, it seemed that it would take more than 10 minutes for all the sand to flow. So Ferda waited silently. There's nothing left to do but wait.

Time is fleeting.

Soon all the sand piled up and the change began.

Heave-ho!

The mirrors were all around me again. When the wall returns to the ordinary stone wall, this time the holy light subsides slightly.

After a while, the heart of the sun turns into a regular stone, and soon it falls. Then he stops at Ferda's feet, rolling his gravel. Seeing this, he frowned.

At the very least, the reality was in danger. The moment I tried to kick the heart of the sun, his movements stopped.

Stop

It was because there was someone who came to my mind for a moment.

The first catastrophe to face, every death.

Come to think of it, isn't he also a commander using unclean powers?

‘If so · · · · · · · · ·. ’

Ferda's gaze was towards the heart of the sun.

A very deadly object in practice. But at the same time, it also exerts deadly power on all deaths. A double-edged sword that varies in use depending on how it is used.

However, the concern was not long.

‘It's always in your best interest to take it. ’

If you leave it, things will get more complicated if the Sun's holy woman takes it as in the original. You were right to take it, even if you didn't intend to use it on all the deaths. when he put the heart of the sun in his inventory.

[Perda.]

You hear a voice in the bridge.

[I think we're done here. Can I take back the veil now?]

Ferda nods.

At the same time, the curtain of the night disappeared. Fortunately, there was no major damage. In a certain way, it was obvious. One undead, all heroic dignitaries. But if it wasn't in the bridge, it would have been devastating.

“Are you okay? Are you hurt? ”

“Yes, I was surprised by the rapid consumption of magic, but · · · · · · · ·. ”

You nod with a shivering face.

At that moment, the bridge that was staring at his teeth rose to Ferda's shoulders. He looks around curiously.

[But where am I? This is the first place I've seen you.]

In that question, Ferda briefly explained how she got here.

Moments later, the Bridge responded that she understood.

Kuku ku ku!

The iron door that was firmly closed was wide open.

Hallway reappeared. On the floor, there was a short Ancient Fish.

“You, who have passed through the trials of light. Welcome. You are not the enemy. ”

I read it out loud.

Hearing this, Ferda's eyes gradually fade.

This is what the ancient language said. Light trials are a way of distinguishing between enemy and enemy. Subsequently, the heart of the sun and the stone were revealed, causing deadly damage to the undead.

This means that the ‘enemy’ which is spoken here is the undead.

Tomb of Catastrophe. Qualification. The Trial of Light. The Heart of the Sun.

The pieces of the puzzle come together as you put the words you've seen together.

‘I knew it. ’

I was nervous, but I was sure of this.

This place has everything to do with death.

“Ferda?”

Then he grabs his hand and asks. Like, "Why are you still?" Ferda stepped out of her mind with the answer that she was nothing.

Soon after the group enters the corridor.

Kuang!

Again, the iron door was firmly closed.

* * *

Kuoooo!

With a loud noise, the giant golem falls behind.

The cloudy dust that was piled up on the floor flew into the air. After a while, a wormy text appeared on an empty wall. It was ancient.

“Congratulations on passing the second trial. ”

He shrugs.

The second room to show up where the current group is. It was a room the size of which was larger than the place where the light had been tested. Here, you find that the party is called a 'Force Crucible.’

You proved you're not the enemy, but you can't defeat disasters without the least force? That's why the text said that I wanted to test whether I had the proper strength.

‘And it was that golem who showed up. ’

Ferda's gaze touches the giant golem on the floor. A large golem, only nine metres tall. Likewise, Heron mutters as if he was tired of staring at it.

“He was a real piece of work. ”

It was worth it.

He was fine after being hit by hundreds of Heron's magical arrows. If the three spirits hadn't poured out all their strength and peeled off the hard skin, they would have fought so far.

[I don't know who made it.]

[I never thought I'd make a golem like this.]

[You must be a great wizard.]

Even the ghosts who are stingy with praising others usually say this. It was definitely not easy to find. Ferda nods, agreeing.

Kuku ku ku!

Then the iron door opened.

Ferda sighs as she sees the hallway reappear.

“What trials will come after that? ”

I hope your fingers are okay before then. Every time I walked through the door, I dropped a drop of blood.

But this time, it was a little different from the hallway. The old stone floor looks the same, but the wall is in good condition, regardless of what you did with it. This was not the only difference.

“Huh? This. ”

The first thing I noticed was a twitch in my ears.

At the same time, you hear Heron's voice.

“It looks like a mural. ”

It was full of colorful paintings and many ancient languages, as he said. What does this mean? The moment the group gazes at it silently.

[Wow, what a beautiful painting!]

Radina's eyes gleam brightly.

When she woke up, Radina jumped in and out of the mural like she was excited. Then you suddenly find something, and call Heron with a blunt arm.

[Dad, look.]

“Huh?"

[Tons of dragons!]

Radina smiles.

As he said, the blunt arm was filled with drawings of lizards with wings. Heron strokes Radina's head in an odd way.

“I think so. My daughter knows a lot. ”

[Hehe.]

Radina smiles like she's in a good mood.

She then asked in a curious voice.

So the dragon is here?]

It's a picture of dragons everywhere. So it shouldn't be strange to have such curiosity. The moment Heron tries to answer something, the quiet bridge bursts into a light smile.

[Foot! That can't be right.]

[Why?]

[Then the dragons all disappeared a thousand years ago.]

The answer is correct. Heron nods with an awkward face as well.

Looking at that scene, I suddenly remembered the phrase about the dragon in the original article.

All the dragons that existed in the world hid themselves at one time, as if they had promised. Except for one.

I was concerned about the ‘only one' that came out at the end, but in the original article, it was not clear what it was. The only verse that shows us is that archaeologists in the kingdom are studying what is excluded.

“Ferda.”

At that moment, the realm beside me spoke.

In fact, he pointed to the ancient language written under the mural.

“They say it's like a record of what happened a long time ago. ”

You say you've made history.

I was suddenly curious about what he said. Things related to the Ancient Era didn't come out very well in the original.

“Can I get an interpretation? ”

Ferda nods as soon as she asks you if you feel nauseous.

After a long conversation with the ghosts, he clears his throat briefly. Since the Elvish interpretation of the Ancient Fish was about to come out, everyone stares at the truth, breathlessly.

“This was providence. ”

The first wall.

From the paintings of many dragons, the realm opened its mouth.

“The providence of death for the living to follow. The dragons were willing to accept death. But there are exceptions everywhere. There was only one dragon who refused. This is called the Last Dragon. ”

As soon as he finished saying that, Ferda opened her eyes wide.

I was wondering if there were a lot of dragons. I can't believe it was actually related to the One Dragon. If the Archaeologists of the Kingdom find out, they'll be in trouble.

“The moment the last dragon refused death, disaster began. Many lives died for the last dragon, and the world was doomed to destruction. Because we couldn't see it, we united our forces. ”

The group shifts their feet as they move their fingertips.

“After so many sacrifices, you finally defeated the last dragon. But the last dragon did not die so easily. We didn't have the right to kill the dragon. ”

The target cannot be killed unless it is equal or higher than the target.

The unique setting that Frank told me about in the Arcane swamp. When I thought about it again, the reality continued.

“As soon as his body was torn apart, the dragon left us a curse. Unless the dragon truly died, it was also a curse that prevented us from accepting the providence of death. ”

It's complicated, but in summary, it's the curse of immortality. A curse that cannot die until the cursed druid is completely dead.

“Our flesh rots and we don't die. No, I couldn't die. We had an unfinished mission. We took the dragon's remains and divided them into three, then headed for the third horse. ”

When I heard about it.

Ferda twitches her eyebrows.

Split into three? I've heard that story somewhere. In the meantime, the real story continues.

“The trunk is a sand dune in the desert, arms and legs are forever on a burning island, and finally the head is sealed here at the bottom of the Frost Lake. Wait a minute. Is this... ”

The eyelids of the horses' joints have changed enormously.

Ferda also opened her eyes wide. A moment later, he mutters as if he had held his breath.

“· · · · · · All Death. ”

The inscription on the bottom of the mural.

It was a record of all the deaths. On the other hand, he looks back at Heron and asks if he is still surprised.

“All death was a dragon? ”

“I know that now. He was just a mass of a soul that I saw. ”

But Heron is also embarrassed.

This was the same with Ferda. because in the original, there was no information on what all death looked like, what species, how old it was,

‘It just said commander.' ’

The great commander who once threatened the world.

Who dreamt of eternal life by creating a kingdom of the dead. This was all the information related to all deaths. But I didn't know it was a mercenary. This was really unexpected.

When everyone couldn't erase their embarrassment.

A bright voice tickles the ears of the group.

[Prince! I still have the painting.]

Radina glances at you. Based on his reaction, he seems to have mistaken him for reading a picture book. Meanwhile, in his voice, he rushed to his senses.

Then he put the remaining record in his mouth.
