Count Scribe's Tutor

At that point in time, the arcade backwriting.

Burke bows his head to the Earl and opens his mouth.

“I have an answer from the royal court. ”

“What did he say?”

“They'll send reinforcements right away. ”

The Earl smiles. It's because I had a hunch.

“Looks like you ran into the undead as expected. ”

I got a call from the Silver Knights just now. It is reported that the investigators were escorted to a village outside the fortress as instructed.

Did you say Lathill? ’

An unfamiliar town. This is the place where a number of undead have been reported to appear for two days. That's why I deliberately led the investigators to a nearby town. As soon as you enter the village, you'll be face-to-face with the undead.

‘Then he would have sent a request immediately. ’

Three Prince Robert was very judgmental about the situation. He must have called for reinforcements the moment he found the Undead. And the Earl's expectations were exactly right. Burke's report was evidence of that.

‘But the problem is · · · · · · · ·. ’

If the investigators survive.

That's a little tricky. I'm sure Robert would have noticed. The Earl sent the Knights out of the fortress on purpose.

The erl didn't want that to happen.

So I opened my mouth, no matter what I wanted to say.

“But here's the problem. ”

“Problem?”

“Yes. The royal family sends their regards, but how can I answer them?" ”

It's a topic similar to that of the Earl.

As he pondered for a moment, he knocked on the table. The habit of doing things when you think about it. Burke waits for the Earl's answer. A moment later, the Earl opens his tightly closed mouth.

“We told you not to go, we're in danger. ”

“Yes?”

“But the Third Prince said he wouldn't believe it until he saw it with his own eyes and headed out of the fortress. ”

The Earl sighs heavily.

Dark bitten complexion. There's a grim look on his face.

“I tried to put up an escort, but I was rejected. He said there can't be any undead. So I had to send it. ”

But I couldn't hide it from my eyes.

With eyes full of laughter, the Earl was a horse.

“Am I wrong? ”

The Earl turns around and raises his mouth.

Seeing this, Burke trembles. I realized what the Earl wanted.

After a moment, he nods at the darkened face.

“That's right. You were very stubborn. ”

“Hehe, you know. ”

The Earl bursts into laughter. A satisfactory smile.

Burke looks down once more.

“Then I'll report it. ”

Burke leaves the room for the last time with a short answer.

Quietly closed doors without making a sound. With silence hovering around the office, the erl rings a bell on the table.

Daughter

As the bell began to fade.

The wall next to your desk opens with a thumping sound.

“You summoned me.”

Aile Dunov was exposed.

He was the chief executive officer of Earl Archdut. The Earl flinches his fingers instead of an answer. He then approached me and opened his mouth lightly.

“I'll give you the Third Knights. ”

Whispers of a Nazi.

It was a nonsense, but I didn't ask again. I just keep my mouth shut and listen to him. Shortly after, the erl gives his orders.

“Search the fortress for traces of the investigators. ”

“What if it's a trail? ”

“Survivors.”

The Earl replies briefly.

Based on a metaphor he had with Burke, it was clear why the Earl was looking for survivors. After realizing this, Aile swallowed a dry saliva and asked again.

“What if we find survivors? ”

“Aile, you've been noticing a lot lately. ”

An Earl with a stiff head.

When I saw this, my palms were sweating. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Ailee. He soon gave a slow glow.

“Kill them. Leave nothing behind. ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

The erl knew. Most of the investigators are made up of noblewomen. I also knew very well that there were royal knights and their three princes.

And yet you decide to kill them all.

Aile bows in haste for a bold and cruel decision.

“I will accept · · · · · · · · people. ”

It was so that I wouldn't get caught with a blue face.

Fortunately, nothing came out. After Aile left the office, his room became silent again.

* * *

The investigators, including Ferda, walked and walked again.

The fatigue from the battle weighs heavily on you, but you cannot rest. I didn't know when or where the Undead would show up. So the investigators are as far away from the village as possible from the road. I walked diligently toward the west forest.

It was Ferda's opinion to capture the destination in the west forest.

‘They don't stop here. ’

Because the west forest had absolutely nothing.

No villages, no villages. Travelers do not pass through here, and even skilled hunters do not set foot here. He would, too, because this place was called the Garden of Large Monsters.

‘There's no safer place than here at the moment. ’

That's why Ferda's headed this way.

They've moved on again, so there's no need to worry about chasing them. Though the movement speed was somewhat slow. But shortly before midnight, I was able to arrive at my destination.

Tuk

Ferda stops on the front line.

A short time ago, I left the Sernerk Forest and came to the White Paper. It's the same cave where we stayed for a while when we ran out of food. The investigators who followed immediately opened their mouths as soon as they stopped walking.

“Here.”

“Here · · · · · · · · · · ·? ”

Robert tilts his head.

It's because it looks safe because it's deep in the forest, but it didn't look like a place to stay. All I could see was the bush. At least the inside is cozy with vines.

Soon as I thought about it, Ferda picked a slasher.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Suddenly, Jun hurries in front of Robert. But Ferda's notoriety was not meant for him. He cuts all the vines inside the forest.

Lardass!

As the cut vine fell to the ground, you saw the entrance to the cave.

A cave facing downward at an oblique angle. The entrance was enormous. Sizes of dozens of adults remain intact. The investigators, including Robert, opened their eyes wide.

“Groundwater flows beneath this cave. ”

Then Ferda mutters boldly.

At the same time, Robert's face brightens. Drinking water will make it easier to endure. Perfect for a hideout.

After that, the investigators sat down and unpacked. I spent time healing the wounded, manipulating their weapons, and so on.

“Your Grace.”

Seric, who was looking around the cave, approaches.

He spoke with a solemn face.

“This place looks like a nest of big monsters. ”

Several traces were found around the cave, and Serek argued so.

I wasn't wrong. There used to be a large herd of monsters living here before they made this place a temporary place. Though now he's part of the undead forces, of course.

“There is a chance that large monsters will return. So... ”

“Not bad. This is a camp the Sernerks use. ”

I brought out the settings that I created spontaneously.

At the same time, Ferda points to the signs of a campfire the other day. Seeing the burning 10,000 firewood, Serik narrows his eyebrows in a bewilderment. However, for a moment, he fixed his glasses and said again.

“Ha, but I heard that the west forest is where large monsters often appear. There's no guarantee this place is safe, is there? ”

Looks like Ferda wasn't too happy about it after all.

I explained it was a camp, but seeing him tickle like that...

“So it's easier to put up a mattress. ”

“Have you encountered monsters on the move? ”

Ferda hangs up on Serik and asks. On the other hand, Serik closes his mouth as if he were speechless. It was worth it. Monsters have never encountered a mountain beast before.

“We have a plan. Rest assured.”

I told Bridge to keep an eye on things around here in case of one. Tell them to contact you as soon as they see one.

But Serenk, who doesn't know this, tries to talk again to refute Ferda's words.

Then Robert, who was silent, intervenes in the conversation.

“That's enough, Serik. ”

“I, Your Majesty. ”

“I know you're doing it for me. But anything more than that is an insult to Ser Ferda. ”

What more can one say than this?

Regardless of what you have to say, he soon claps his mouth shut. Then he turns away, saying he's sorry for being so excited. Robert looks back at Ferda and smiles awkwardly.

“Forgive my servant's rudeness. Lord Ferda.”

Instead of answering, Ferda stares at Robert.

Robert Dean Laderon. Three princes turning 16 this year.

By royal standards, I have just become an adult. Robert, however, appeared to be much more mature than his age. I'm quick to notice, and I read the atmosphere.

This was outstanding compared to other princes.

The reason for this was briefly mentioned in the original article.

"Robert is a prince with a rather unusual history. Unlike my brothers, I spent my childhood outside the castle. The reason was simple, because he was a bastard born of the King's nocturnal prank.

The bastard of kings, Robert.

Perhaps he grew up relatively early because he had lived outside the castle for a long time. So I often did not look like my age. The user is moderately swift and knows how to get the target's attention.

Roberts built his own force as soon as he became a formal prince. In a way that nobody even thought of.

‘I embraced the nobles of bastard and bastard children. ’

Those who had received a thousand blessings from their families.

I chose only those with exceptional abilities and made them my own. You're a little ticklish, but now that you're over 20 years old with top academy veteran Serik, you've got June stepping foot on the threshold of Expert Excellence.

This is also where Ferda noticed.

‘The problem is that the reality is that the species is heterogeneous · · · · · · · ·. ’

Ferda wasn't sure about this.

He would, too, because in the original article, Robert didn't come up with what he thought of the xenogens. However, Ferda cleared her mind because it was a matter she could not conclude immediately even after thinking about.

It was then.

Glug-ug-ug!

A sudden rumbling sound. I heard it in Robert's belly. No matter how big it was, Joon who was grooming the sword nearby was surprised.

“Ha, ha, ha. This is embarrassing. ”

Robert's face is somewhat reminiscent.

He then spoke with an awkward smile.

“Actually, I haven't eaten anything today. ”

“I'm sorry, Your Grace. I should have known better. ”

“That's okay. It's all the same if you haven't eaten. ”

Robert waves, but Joon's face is still spleen.

“Wait a little longer. I'll get you something. ”

I heard the conversation and I think I ran out of food.

When Joon was about to leave the cave with the knife, Ferda handed him a jerky from his inventory. Then he handed it to Robert.

“Eat.”

Robert glances at the jerky. However, accepting this, his eyes gradually calmed down. A moment later, he hands the jerky to June.

“Feed the royal knights first. ”

“I, Your Majesty. We're fine.”

“Don't you think I'll be okay until you guys are okay? That's an order. Come on. ”

Robert chuckles.

Ferda's eyes saw this. In the original, it was just an extra for the royal reinforcements. But not now. I was a little intrigued by the sight of the extra characters breathing alive.

What if three princes become kings? ’

Nothing has ever happened in the whole round.

It's going to be a lot different from the original. He thought briefly about this and suddenly pulled the jerky out of his inventory. I anticipated it would be like this, so I brought a lot.

Jerky piled up on the floor.

Robert opens his eyes in shock as he heaps more than ten lumps of jerky.

“Don't worry, we have plenty. ”

Ferda said in a bold tone.

I was going to do you a favor. Each and every one of these actions will put a burden on Robert. Then it will definitely be much easier to plan ahead.

“Thank you very much. How can I repay your kindness? · · · · · · ·. ”

“Don't worry. We'll get it all back. ”

“Hahaha! I look forward to what you wish for. ”

Robert grins with a cool smile.

That night, the investigators held a small dinner. Jerky and water were all there was, but even in this situation, I could feel it.

Not long after that.

After finishing his meal, Robert immediately summoned Jun and Serik. To discuss future events and whereabouts. Meanwhile, not too far from three. There was someone who sat down without a sound.

Let's hear what he has to say. ’

It was Ferda.

He leans his back against the wall and listens quietly. I was eavesdropping on three conversations. Knowing this, Robert opens his tightly closed mouth.
