Count Scribe's Tutor

An empty potion rolls through the floor. It wasn't until I started torturing him and used dozens of potions that I heard a sincere apology from the Earl. No, the expression "terrified apology" is more appropriate.

“Ugh! Ugh! ”

I stood up looking down at the Earl writhing like a worm. Anyway, I got what I wanted. The scene of asking for forgiveness with blood on it was clearly marked on the crystal sphere.

This should satisfy the real world.

Ferda smiles coldly and picks up the slasher. It was meaningless to continue torturing until I had achieved my goal. I decided to send the erl because I felt sorry for the potion.

Phew!

The last remnant of the sea stone was lodged in the Earl's heart. An Earl trembling like a dead fish. It was a futile end for the evil of the early masterpiece. Ferda looks around, leaving the Earl's corpse behind.

“Are we done cleaning up? ”

A landscape soaked with blood. Not only the soil, but the wood and the bush were drenched dark red. While looking at this, I felt a reflex behind the stars.

“Is it over?”

It's Heron. Ferda nods without a word. After that, Tervand, the Desknight, narrows his eyelight.

“That's terrible. Was it really an enemy you had to kill? ”

It was as if Ferda's actions were unfit. As Ferda opens her mouth to say something, Heron takes a step forward.

“Of course. He insulted the king. ”

“Haha, well done. Excellent ironing. ”

A quick transition brought out a smiling ceremony. By the way, the fact that Heron and Tervand are here means the job is done.

Ferda asked the question straight away.

“What did I tell you to bring? ”

“I've got it. ”

Tervand wags his limp man around. A middle-aged man strapped to his arms and legs. He was the Earl's chief butler, Ail Dunov.

“But why do you need this? He's not even that strong. ”

“I've heard a lot of things. ”

For corruption or denial committed by the Earl. I got the ledger from the Secret Storage, but I didn't think this would be enough.

Aile, who was the earliest of the earls, must have a lot of information. So Ferda orders you to bring Ail back alive.

Then Tervand asked curiously.

“Can't you just make it undead and then listen? ”

“No. Then a hole will be drilled into the memory. ”

The answer to that question was Heron. When he came back to the Undead, he added that a part of his memory was lost.

“Well, I only remember the thick stuff. I understand.”

Tervand nods reasonably.

After two undead conversations, Ferda points behind her back.

“Pick that up. Let's go back.”

The knights were better known to have gone missing even after the second attack. After that, the group picks up the Earl's corpse and heads straight for Mullen.

* * *

The north garden of the arcade backwriting.

Contrary to Mullen's transformation into ruins, the garden was in very good condition. It was because the undead of all death had not approached. But if the undead ever asks you, "Why haven't you set foot inside?"

If you look at the landscape in the middle of the garden, you will understand what it means.

[Heehee! Do it all!]

Radina, who was on the lawn, jumps up and down. In the little hand, there was a rather crude wreath. He was twitching in the corner, and he must have made something like that.

[This is for Radina.]

Radina with the most flowers on her head. Directly, it was near the cemetery at the end of the garden. Then Heron, who was sitting nearby, greeted Radina with a smile.

“My daughter, you've done well. ”

And this is my dad's!]

Radina, embracing Heron's arms, puts a large wreath on his head. When compared to what Radina wrote, Heron replied as though he was impressed.

“Thank you very much. I'll wear it all the time. ”

[Heh heh, great!]

Looking at Radina smiling, Heron's eyes curl up like a crescent.

A girl who has a good time. I wouldn't have thought of it normally, but I was fine now. Now, all that's left of the castle was the faction and Ferda.

“Ladina, you look like you're having fun. ”

At that moment, I heard a real voice.

The fact that he was leaning against the tree put a smile on his mouth.

“I often have to come out like this from now on. ”

I can't believe you're saying this even though the sun is in the middle of the sky. It definitely changed a lot compared to before. Ferda slaps you in the face with a bloody smile.

“Well, sometimes it's good if you're okay with it. ”

Perhaps for a while, we can often spend this time as we wish. It is because the Earl's wife and servants who used to live in the castle all fled.

That is, it is okay to stay like this for a while.

‘Anyway · · · · · · · ·. ’

Ferda's closed eyes turn east.

To be precise, the mansion is home to Lianne Nashad, the late Earl's second wife, the mother of Kesher. Ferda's gaze cools as she stares at the place.

‘You can't be running away so fast. ’

Originally, I was going to eliminate the Earl and try to find and eliminate Lyanne. Not as much as the Earl, but he was a villain who tried to curse and poison the truth.

And then the war broke out. Lyanne returned to her mother, Prince Neshard, with her patron saints and broomsticks. Ferda tasted bad because she missed her chance to get rid of it.

‘If we find it later, we'll have to deal with it. ’

I was making a terrible commitment to myself.

You hear the voice of reality again.

“But you know what? ”

“Huh?"

“Him. The prince.”

“Robert?”

When Ferda asks again, he nods.

“Yes. I remember what I said yesterday before I left. ”

With that said, Ferda recalls what had happened.

About four days after the catastrophe of death disappeared. Robert heads to the capital to report what has happened to the erl. And then, with a goodbye, I said,

“Why did he say I'd see you again soon? ”

I told you to meet me sooner rather than later. He left Mullen with that message. However, for some reason, the word seemed to have made it oppose the planting of reality.

The evidence showed that his face was very fat at the moment.

“This isn't even your house. Can't you just not come? ”

The fact that he grumbles as if he doesn't like it.

Ferda shrugs lightly in response.

“I can't help it. I heard you're coming on behalf of the lord. ”

“On behalf of the lord? ”

“Yes. Earl Archdut is missing. ”

The night before he left, Robert told Ferda. Earl Archdut's whereabouts make him vacant. That's why he suggested that his successor, Achan, should act on the Lord's behalf.

But Ferda refused. The reason was simple.

‘There's too much going on. ’

The Earl is a real mess now.

Most of the territory has turned into a land of death, and countless territories have lost their lives. In addition, the number of refugees was enormous and monsters started appearing everywhere.

And in the meantime, you're acting on behalf of the lord? If I didn't want to sit at my desk every day, I was right to avoid it.

‘Now something else comes first. ’

Becoming strong as a commander.

I felt it fighting all death. You can't just go up in flames. Therefore, I had to become strong as a commander at least until the second disaster approached.

But I couldn't let go of my duties as a formal successor just because I didn't like it. So Ferda came up with a plausible excuse.

'I didn't think it would help to be an identity as soon as the reality set in. ’

It was because I was a bastard that I didn't have the proper training, so I didn't have enough to carry out such an important mission.

Robert, who was practically from the same hometown, was quite persuasive. And on the day he left, he told me that he would be sent back on behalf of the lord.

After recalling, Ferda looked back and said,

“Still, it's better than coming from a stranger. Isn't that right?”

“Yes, but · · · · · · · · ·. ”

He frowns and blurs.

In the face of this, I suddenly remembered another story I heard from Robert. It was a story about the official successor of the archduke.

‘The royal court considerably appreciates the achievements of practice. ’

It was worth it. In fact, he saved cities and territories on behalf of the escaped lord and prevented disasters from spreading throughout the kingdom.

Because of that, I was told that I will soon be summoned to the capital and formally carry out my succession. Robert has promised to support you as much as possible, so you don't have to worry about this.

‘I was trying to get rid of the Serenek Forest, but · · · · · · ·. ’

Ferda's intention was to receive protection from the kingdom after he made the Serenek Forest Independent. Then we can avoid the chase of the Holy Nation immediately. I never thought I'd be able to swallow an entire Erl Archdute.

‘Now I'm on a completely different track from the original. ’

None of the original works ever inherited the family. All I did was travel across the continent, gather my colleagues, and fight disasters.

But I don't think this is bad either.

The bigger the force, the better for the Holy Nation in the future.

Of course, it wasn't the only good thing.

Once I decided to support Prince Robert, I had to help him ascend to the throne. That meant we had to participate in a civil war that was going to erupt within a year, and we had to increase our power as much as possible before that.

Where is that? We must also prepare for the second disaster. We have enough time, of course, but we cannot be careless. Moreover, I had to raise my capabilities as a real commander far above my current level.

‘· · · · · · · There's so much to do. ’

I came out of a sigh without even knowing it because my homework was full.

It wasn't just that I was worried. I can't trust the original because I took a different route than the original. Is it because the future is dark? Ferda grilled her brow.

It was then.

“Ferda?”

I came to my senses with the voice of reality.

As you move away from your thoughts, you see a flash of reality in your face. He blinks and asks.

“Why are you making such an impression? Is it because you don't see it well? ”

Ferda now has an open book with her back against a tree. Is that so? In fact, he seems to think the reason he frowned was because the letters in the book were invisible.

“Well, I'm not wrong. ”

Ferda bursts into laughter.

It was not a letter, it was a sign that I couldn't see the future.

However, the reality seems to accept it differently. Seeing you standing there all of a sudden. The fact that I put my book on the floor opened my mouth straight away.

“Wait here for a moment. ”

“Huh?"

“I'll be right back. ”

Silk thread that disappears quickly towards the mansion.

Ferda tilts her head as she looks back and disappears. What's he trying to do? While thinking about it, I suddenly touched my fingertips.

“Ah.”

The Moon's Eye, a sacred object that suppresses the wrath of the commander. It was just a little different from before. There was a tiny crack in the middle of the pendant.

The reason was simple. It was because I couldn't handle the status quo. At least half the battle was hidden, so it was still somewhat useful.

But when I saw this, I suddenly remembered something.

“Maybe by now the place will be spotted. ”

In the Holy Land of Sererheim, there are creatures that track the location of the sacred objects. They're called the Palace of the Blessed, and they must have noticed the Moon's Eye right here in the Archduke.

“I'd prefer not to face them as much as possible. ”

It's still hard to deal with the Holy Nation.

Because there was an unidentified monster in the Holy Land.

“· · · · · · An unnamed Cardinal of the Grey Monastery. ”

That was all the information about him.

Even the original works were so small, but they were quite powerful. The nameless Cardinal has defeated every death three times in the last round.

“I knocked it down with my bare hands. ”

Of course, all the deaths of the last round were likely to have not even been imperfect. However, it was not negligible, but the nameless Cardinal simply subdued all death.

“So now is not the time. ”

At least as long as the reality is not stronger than all death, it was right to avoid an all-out war with the Holy Nation. While continuing to think about the Holy Land, there was one person who suddenly came to mind.

It was the late Earl's second son, Kesher Archdut.

“Tsk, I should have dealt with it sooner. ”

Reflexively crumpled his face when I think of him.

It was because I didn't think I would go to the Academy of the Holy Nation. Even if I wanted to go and deal with it myself, doing so in the Holy Nation was risky. Ferda only tasted it as if it were a waste.

“If you step out of the Holy Land one day · · · · · · · ·. ”

Then let's go find him and blow his head off.

While I was thinking about it, I heard someone running from afar. After a short while, the reality of running with a short breath brought something cold.

“Here, take this. ”

A small wooden box that was handed to you.

When I opened the chest, there was something unexpected inside.

“One-eyed glasses? ”

“Yes! This should give you a better view. ”

When I saw the fact that I was smiling brightly, I looked embarrassed. No, who are you looking at as presbyopia? However, when I saw the smiling face, I was also a little angry.

Ferda smiles and replies.

“Thank you. I'll take care of it. ”

“Heehee, yeah. ”

In fact, he smiled as if he were satisfied.

I leaned back against the tree again and picked up the one-eyed glasses I received from the thread. I've been trying hard, so I thought about it for a while.

But something amazing happened.

“Huh? This is more than I thought. ”

“You can see it, right? ”

I asked him as if he was waiting.

Ferda nods her head one at a time and turns over the page.

Obviously, it looked better than before. What is it? Is it really presbyopia? I heard some concerns, but they disappeared quickly. Looking at the typeface that looks much clearer than before, it was because I fell in love with the book in a flash.

“Hehe.”

To the end of a tiny, real-life laugh.

The two priests enjoyed a long rest.
