Count Scribe's Tutor

Information Guild Ragney's headquarters.

Dozens of members bow on their knees. There was only one voice in the quiet bitten room.

“· · · · · · · Complete the report. ”

Brandon takes a step back after finishing his speech.

Ferda taps the table with her eyes closed. Brandon's report.

Last night, the assassination ring in the east collapsed.

The Knights of the First Prince, who were the core of Lekka, were turned into decapitated corpses, and the assassins and members of the group were also killed by visible tribes.

You missed a few of the crew members, but it looks like Brandon and Kalman took care of it. Moreover, Brandon was committed to his own mission.

The documents piled up on the table were evidence.

“We should focus on analyzing the information for now. ”

“It won't take long. It's a code I've cracked before. ”

A solid answer came back.

Ferda smiles satisfactorily.

“How much did you take? ”

“It's not much. This is it.”

Brandon brings the sack.

Inside were gold and silver coins, and precious jewelry. It was definitely written down. But I didn't mind. If you don't have enough money, you can rob the nobles' vaults again.

“If it's not urgent, keep the goods. ”

You'll be bothered if we don't follow them.

Is he aware of Ferda's concerns? Brandon bows silently with an answer that he knows. I finally got up from my seat. Then I left the room and opened my mouth.

“Kalman, come with me for a moment. ”

“Yes!”

Suddenly, a strong answer came back.

Soon after, the two arrived at the archives through a labyrinthine passageway. Then Howard, who was watching the work, greeted them.

“Welcome, boss. ”

With Howard's hospitality, Ferda sits down.

Then I opened the mouth that I had shut.

“Do you have a portrait of Earl Keshmif? ”

“Well, maybe there is. Please wait a moment."

Howard, who got up from his seat, searches the storeroom.

About ten minutes after that, he picked up an old parchment. As I spread the parchment, a portrait of a man appeared.

Light gold hair and green eyes.

It is consistent with the appearance of Earl Keshmif depicted in the original.

“Remember this face, Kalman. ”

Ferda's finger tapped the portrait.

“Your job is to keep an eye on the interest. ”

“Hmm, boss. Sincerely, ”

At that moment, Howard looks embarrassed.

He continued to speak with a somewhat stiff face.

“Earl Keshmif is a powerful wizard. I believe this mission is dangerous for Kalman to do alone. Please reconsider. ”

“Don't worry. Safer than you think. ”

Ferda smiles and unfolds the map. Then he pointed to a mansion in the north of the capital.

It was the Duke of Setia's mansion.

“Stay as far away from this mansion as you can. And if Earl Keshmif appears, all you have to do is give me a word. ”

According to the original, Earl Keshmif and Duke Setier are best friends. Therefore, Earl often visited the Duke's mansion and enjoyed tea time with him.

So if you visit the duc's mansion on the day you two are together, you can do two things at once.

“Haha, that should be enough for Kalman. ”

Howard laughs as if he was relieved.

Then Kalman suddenly asks a question.

“If I find it, who can I contact? I don't know where my boss is. ”

You don't have to worry about that.

At least there was someone we could use to get in touch with. Ferda looks at the shaded area and calls into the bridge.

Soon after, a little owl appeared.

[Ahem! Why again?]

In a bridge that spills Ferda with sleepy eyes.

Then Ferda tapped him on the back.

“Starting today, act with Kalman. ”

Oh, the Cat Kid?]

Along with the horse, the bridge quickly sat on top of Kalman's head. Suddenly, Kalman asks in a bewildered manner.

“Hey, boss. What the hell? ”

“It's a spirit. You can report it through him. ”

Ferda continues with a non-trivial struggle.

Around that time, he buries his face in Kalman's head.

[There's a small amount of magical power. Knng, knng! Smells pretty good.]

I think so. We haven't converted yet, but we're still very talented.

Meanwhile, was it because he was anxious to say that his legs smelled good? Kalman asks with a nervous face.

“Ho, you're not gonna get eaten, are you? ”

[Of course! I'm not a monster.]

I shouted as if the bridge was a mess.

[I'm just sharing a little bit of concussive magic. Uheehee!]

You squeeze your beak and hear an evil laugh.

Needless to say, Kalman's complexion was blue.

* * *

Ferda returned to her mansion.

He found his way straight from the living room. But as I was about to enter the room, I ran into Niela, who opened the door. At the same time, I could see the reality of sleeping in the roots through the open door.

“Are you still sleeping? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

The answer narrows Ferda's gaze.

I must have fallen asleep around last night. And you're still sleeping? No matter how tired you are, this is a little harsh.

Ferda mutters anxiously.

“I don't like sleeping too long either. Do you have a cold? ”

“Well, that's not true. ”

Niela smiles awkwardly. I know something. Ferda glances at him, and Niela sighs.

“You actually woke up once last night. And it wasn't until dawn that he went back to sleep. ”

Thankfully, it was not a concern.

Ferda nods as if she knew.

“I see. I see. ”

“Aren't you going to class this morning? ”

“Just let him sleep well. I'm taking the day off, too. ”

I was tired all morning dealing with the remnants of Lekka. If you keep moving like this, your body will harden when it's important. So today I thought of taking a rest without thinking.

‘The day is pretty good, too. ’

It might be a good idea to relax and read in the garden.

I arrived in the room with a relaxed thought. When I picked up the book for reading in the garden, suddenly his gaze reached the crystal ball on the table.

“Oh, by the way. ”

Today was the day I had regular contact with Robert.

Ferda picks up the crystal ball, thinking about it later.

After a while, you place it under the shade of a tree and immediately apply magic to the crystal ball.

And how long has it been?

A vague crystal ball shines with a familiar face. Robert, by the way. Hair turns dull, dark circles down to the chin.

It seemed that the lord's work was quite hard.

Then Robert opens his eyes to see if he has found Ferda.

Oh, this is amazing. I can't believe Sir reached out to you first.

“Today is my day off. ”

Ferda continues with a non-trivial struggle.

Robert bursts out a light smile.

Haha, I envy that.

It was a voice that was deeply buried.

After that, they exchanged brief details. Ferda tells the story of what happened mainly at the banquet, and Robert talks about the magnificence of the land.

By the way, a group of the Holy Nation recently found their territory.

Robert mutters as if he suddenly remembers.

At the same time, Ferda's eyes sank cold.

‘Finally. ’

Probably only a simple investigation.

You want to know how we averted disasters without the help of the Holy See.

But as soon as undead are spotted in traffic or underground waterways, the investigators may turn to punitive action.

Rodenhag says there are 45 members in the Holy Land. Most of them look like paladins, but they said there was one, and not just one. They say he has an incredible amount of divinity.

He knew there was only one person who matched Robert's description. Ferda mutters with a somewhat stiff face.

“Is that Saint Ser Hame? ”

Saint Ser Hame.

At about the same time, the same answer came out.

They burst into laughter without anyone having to first. A moment later, Robert opens his mouth with a solemn face.

What can I do?

One thing I've noticed is how fast it is.

Ferda replied straight away.

“The best thing is to get rid of them. ”

Then there won't be any problems. However, there had to be a good reason to use this method. Did he read Ferda's insides back then? Robert grins.

Don't worry.I have a reason to kick you out.

“What?"

Ferda asked, surprised.

Then Robert's lips opened up.

Apparently, they're coming to cleanse the contaminated land now. Seeing what you don't have to do, you're probably going to stay in the Earl as an excuse to purify the land.

Robert pauses.

His blue eyes flash fiercely.

But, you know, most of the cleansing of the land is done.

There are now hundreds of spirits living in the Earl's Palace.

There's only one reason left for them. It was to purify the contaminated land with Qi. And as Robert said, most places humanly habitable are in a cleansed state.

There's another reason I've personally recognized you. So don't worry about the saints. I'll try as hard as I can.

Robert replies with a serious face.

As long as she's here, Ferda can't contain the saint. It's best to leave it to Robert for now.

The last time I heard from him, he nodded quietly.

The crystal sphere returned to its original color. Ferda looks up at the sky and ponders the conversation she had with Robert.

Then I felt popular.

Turning around, I saw a young man who had bandaged his whole body. It was Mercedes Ohm.

“I brought the letter when it arrived. ”

He lists the letters, one by one, on the floor. Thanks to this, I was able to quickly check who sent the letter. Then I noticed a colorful envelope.

“This is · · · · · · · · ·. ”

It was a letter from the Second Prince, Sarphene.

The recipient said it was practical, but ignored it. When I unpacked the envelope, I saw letters and invitations. In summary, the passages were as follows:

“I'll see you in three days. ”

It's faster than I thought.

Maybe he got caught in contact with the Duke of Setier.

Ferda smiled and put Prince II's letter in her arms. Then you pick up the book, and suddenly, Merced asks you a question.

“Don't you read the rest? ”

I didn't have to read it. They're the first prince's nobles anyway.

With a silent nod, Mercedes blinks and asks.

“Then can I read it? ”

“Yes? Why not? ”

“Recently, I've been learning to write from practice. ”

If that's the case. Ferda nods happily.

But then, something came to mind.

“Oh, wait a minute. ”

After stopping Merced, you immediately pull a book out of your inventory.

Then he handed it to me instead of a letter.

“Don't be ridiculous. Read this. ”

“What's this? ”

“Skill book.”

I gave it to Kalman as I had before. It was another provocative skill book. It was not even a boom. It was a useless skill, and it was already a skill I had.

‘I never thought I'd see another stone thrower. ’

Ferda sighs deeply.

I originally tried to buy a ‘bookmark’ by collecting achievement scores. However, no matter how long I waited, the bookmark did not appear in the item. Meanwhile, a random skill book appeared on the sale item, and I saw the blood while buying it.

Do you have to meet special conditions to get out? ’

I heard that now because I didn't show up.

Then, Merced, who received the skill book, bows his head.

“Thank you. I will repay you one day. ”

It was bad for Ferda, but she still has a good name for it.

It will come in handy once you learn it. I was just thinking that. This time, I suddenly heard Niela's voice.

“Ferda, I brought you something to drink. ”

I think I saw him resting in the garden.

After a while, the three men who gathered under the shade of the tree enjoyed a leisurely tea. Then Ferda looks at Niela as if she remembers something.

“Did you find anything at the slave market? ”

In addition to managing the mansion, Niela was tasked with finding useful talent in the slave market.

Meanwhile, Niela nods, smiling softly.

“We've got about eight kids who look good. And two of them have already summoned a spirit and signed a contract. ”

I smiled satisfied with the unbroken answer.

Everything is going smoothly.

All that's left now is to find the Duke of Setier's mansion and accept the invitation of the Second Prince. And when all business is concluded, we return to the erl.

‘But if it takes a little bit.' ’

It's about the saints of Serrhaim.

Robert says he'll fix it, but the anxiety doesn't go away completely.

‘You can't throw them out, but you have to stop them from poking around. ’

If you find a subterranean tunnel for no reason, you'll be in trouble.

Ferda sighs, frowning.

‘· · · · · · · I hope Robert does well. ’

I prayed and gazed quietly at the southern sky.

It was the direction of the Count Archdut.
