Count Scribe's Tutor

Chapter 51

Owner of the Winter Tower

Leaving the mansion was not as easy as I thought.

It's because Duke Setier rarely let go. After a long wait, you finally promise to find the mansion again when you're done, and then send Ferda away.

Not long after that.

The group arrives at the Wizards' Land just north of the castle. Seven towers rising through the clouds. The spectacular sights seemed to mesmerize him.

Then Keshmif turns around.

“Welcome to the tower, everyone. ”

He widens his arms and smiles brightly.

With a somewhat exaggerated welcome, the group heads to a small mansion near the tower. Perhaps the outside guest who found the tower looked like he was staying for a while.

By the time I arrived in the spacious reception room.

Dallac

A car is piled up in front of you.

Unlike the practice of looking in the room with a tense face, Ferda drank her tea leisurely, leaning on a soft couch. It looks like you're not even a little nervous.

While tasting the unique aroma and flavor of the tea, the starry Queshamief opened his mouth.

“Sir Ferda. ”

“Yes?”

“I'm very sorry for your loss, but could you ask the other wizards to guide you to the tower?" I have an urgent matter. ”

Seeing you squeeze your eyes out, I can guess what you're up to. You want to do the experiment you've been talking about since the Duke's mansion. Ferda nods comfortably, looking at his anxious face.

“Urgent business comes first, of course. Don't mind me. ”

Above all, it is in the best interest of acting alone only when Keshmif disappears quickly. Whether you know Ferda's insides or not, Queshamif's eyes glint as if moved.

“Thank you so much for understanding! Just a moment, please. I'll bring you a wizard to guide you to the tower! ”

Keshmif, who woke up, left the room.

Shortly after the door closes, the chamber exhales a small amount. It was only by Ferda and the two of us that I was relieved.

Then Ferda muttered and asked.

“Have you talked to Earl Keshmif much? ”

“Yeah. Not bad. ”

The dark answer returns.

But unlike his speech, he seemed to have enjoyed it quite a bit. I didn't even ask, but seeing as I've solved all the conversations I've had with Keshmif, After that, he chatted for a long time.

“· · · · · · · That's why we decided to re-experiment. ”

After all the conversations we've had.

The face of reality changed strangely. Maybe he wanted to talk to someone. Ferda nods quietly.

“I see. And how was Earl Keshmif? ”

“You're a little distracted. ”

The answer came back without hesitation.

I laughed at the exact description of Queshamif. Similarly, the fact that he smiled adds some advantages.

“But he was also magically knowledgeable, so it was good for him to talk to. ”

“Well, for now, he's the best wizard in the kingdom. ”

Ferda shrugs.

After the conversation ended, he actually took a half-cold cup of tea. However, shortly after, I frowned and put down the cup of tea. I guess it doesn't suit your taste.

“You know, Ferda, ”

Then, all of a sudden, Ferda called.

Immediately, I asked with a serious face.

“Is there anything I can do to help? ”

You have already told me what the purpose of finding the Horse Tower is. That's why there was nothing to do at the time I visited the tower. If it were, it would attract Keshmif's attention.

But as soon as I heard the real question, something came to mind.

“Well, may I borrow one of the three spirits for a moment? ”

“Of course. You can take all three. ”

“No, I think one will do. The water looks good. ”

Scared to the end of the answer, he flicked his fingers lightly. Immediately, something faint appeared and the reality opened its mouth, looking up into the air.

“Hmmm.”

[You summoned me, my king.]

“Do as Ferda says. Whatever it is, all of it. ”

[Yes, take orders]

The water lowers its head.

Then he goes straight behind Ferda and disappears as if melted into thin air.

At the same time, I felt a sense of intelligence from the hallway. The sound of two people's steps. A wizard who will guide Keshmif and the Horse Tower in his stead.

“Then I'll contact you on the bridge later. ”

“Well, have a good trip, Ferda. ”

I smiled.

After saying a greeting in advance, the visit was open.

The ones who came soon were just as Ferda had expected.

“Haha, sorry to keep you waiting. ”

Queshamif smiles beautifully, pointing to the wizard who came with him.

“Ser Ferda will guide you. ”

A young man with pale purple hair.

He looks down at you with a expressionless face.

“This is Mendel Girak, Wizard who lives on the fifth floor, the Tower of Storms. ”

“Ferda Inoside. ”

I'm afraid of the end of a simple name.

Keshmif turns away as if he had finished his work.

“Now if you'll excuse us, Here you go, sunshine. I will escort you to the Tower of Wise Men. Let's go and restart the experiment! ”

He shoves his back and doesn't look back and leaves the room.

Only two options left in your slumber. When the awkward atmosphere hovers, Mendel lets out a short exhale. Then he spoke with a polite, expressionless face.

“Then I'll start guiding the tower. ”

With Mendel's blunt tone.

Two men head for the steeple.

* * *

Each of the seven towers has a symbol.

There is fire and ice, wind and earth, sun and moon, and finally the Tower of Wise Man. And at the top of each tower are the great wizards representing the property, the so-called Tower Lords.

Then, who is in the Tower of the Wise that is not classified as an attribute?

“The Lord of the Seven Horses, Wizard Keshmif, lives here. ”

Mendel replies in a bold tone. It was a voice with a strange sense of pride. He and Ferda stroll around the tower, following a description of the Elder Tower.

“And one of the interesting things about the tower is that the name of the tower changes every time. just as the windy tower is called the storm tower. ”

According to the description, the name of the tower changes every time a new rider is assigned. In fact, I knew it was all from the original. However, I nodded as if I knew something new.

I was taking a step to hear a story I already knew.

“Let's end the introduction here. ”

I heard a good sound.

Mendel stops and gazes at the dark green tower just beyond the west.

“First, I want to introduce you to the Tower of Storms. ”

“Wizard Mendel. I'm sorry, I'd like to go there first. ”

Then Ferda suddenly stopped speaking to Mendel.

Mendel looks where his fingers are headed. The direction is north. The rising above is a snow-white tower.

“The Tower of Winter. Does anyone know? ”

Someone I know. Of course, he doesn't know Ferda.

That's why I just blurted it out.

“Personal curiosity. ”

“Well, I understand. So let's start with the Winter Tower. ”

Fortunately, Mendel didn't ask any questions.

Shortly after, two men arrived at the Tower of Winter. As he walks toward the entrance, Mendel stretches his tightly closed lips.

“The Winter Tower is made up of nine floors. ”

Together with the description that started again, they set foot inside the tower. The first thing you see are dozens of wizards moving around busy. It was impressive that they were all wearing dull gray robes.

“From the first floor to the third floor is the training wizard's space. The results of the quarterly exam decide whether to go to the next floor or stay on the current floor. ”

Mendel stops at the center of the tower as he traverses the crowd. There are stairs leading upstairs. As he walks through the spiral staircase, Mendel makes fun of his tongue.

“And when you reach the third floor, you will be qualified for Mana's trials, which only takes you through to become a proper wizard. ”

“How long does it usually take? ”

“Every wizard has a big gap, so it's hard to average. It depends on your talent and your hard work. ”

Mendel pats his chin.

He was momentarily distracted, and soon opened his mouth again.

“Based on the Tower of Storms, Wizard Wuronken is the fastest. because the records show that it took less than two months to reach the fourth floor. ”

Per fights back appropriately.

The reason I asked was simple curiosity. Because it was written that Isha Biant, the Witch of the Winter Tower on her way to meet now, had reached the fourth floor just in the first half of the day.

‘Indeed, Yoo Baek Hyun would recommend it. ’

I can't believe you're three times faster than the other riders.

When I was amazed, I arrived on the fourth floor. The atmosphere here was different from downstairs. It is because there are few wizards and few sounds.

Then Mendel explained why.

“From · · · · · · · 4th floor, there are many wizards' private laboratories, so I will explain in a slightly smaller voice. We appreciate your patience."

Ferda nods silently.

As soon as I entered the tower, I no longer needed Mendel. That means he doesn't need to hear his boring explanations either. I just went up the stairs one by one and thought only about what I was going to do when I arrived at the destination.

How long has it been?

Soon the two arrived on the eighth floor. But there was one strange thing. The entrance of the stairs to the ninth floor is locked securely. Ferda was about to ask me why I saw this.

Mendel says something he didn't expect.

“I'll finish explaining the Winter Tower. Next, to the tower of storms we didn't guide before. ”

“Wait, aren't you going up to the ninth floor? ”

“Yes, as I said earlier, the Winter Tower is the top floor of the ninth floor. And the top floor is where the towers of each tower live. That is, the ninth floor cannot go up unless winter towers allow it. ”

I can't believe I got my ankle caught with the destination in front of me.

I was embarrassed, but not embarrassed. I just nodded as if I knew, then suddenly said with an awkward look.

“Then I'll go to the bathroom before I go down. ”

I quickly crossed the hallway with the obvious excuse. Turn right at the end of the hall and you'll come out of the bathroom. A moment later, Ferda enters the bathroom and immediately calls her inside the bridge.

“Stretch out the night path. ”

[Yay, yay.]

With a touching answer, there was a path to the ninth floor.

A moment later, he follows the road to the top floor of the tower.

The top of the tower is completely different from the places you've seen. The most noticeable thing was the white open snow.

What the hell? Is this place really in the tower?]

Heavy blizzards and towering ice walls.

Everywhere I look, it doesn't look like the landscape inside the tower.

It was like looking at a frozen lake in the Sernerk Forest. In a unique space, Ferda reveals all the secrets she's been hiding.

Not long after that.

Kuku ku ku!

You hear a commotion in the center of the tower.

Immediately, a cloudy eye fog shifted. And beyond that, there were a lot of people. One by one, scattering the Qi.

It was the undead army.

[Ugh! Another undead?]

I frowned as if I didn't like the inside of my legs.

After a short while, the undead army surrounds the area in an instant.

After building a tight siege net, the sudden wave splits in two. Then I heard someone step in the snow from the outside.

“I thought I smelled something awful. ”

A cool voice that I heard in the stars.

Immediately, there was someone who appeared among the undead. Women in wide brim hats and thick robes. She glances at Ferda with a frozen face.

“I didn't expect an uninvited guest. ”

Ferda grins as she hears the hostile voice.

That's why he found the tower.

It was Isha Biant.
