Count Scribe's Tutor

“I ask you, who is the representative? ”

I deliberately said it again and again. Let them understand.

Then the three of them looked at each other and bowed down to something. After a while, the one who was the smallest of the three stepped forward.

A young man with sandy hair.

He replies with a steadfast look on his face.

“I am the leader of the Desert Tribe, Hkorut. Who are you people?"

It is the language of the kingdom, even if it is pronounced poorly.

I finally realized how Robert understood them. On the other hand, Ferda opens her mouth without hesitation.

“I am the one who serves the master of this land. ”

There was no response so far.

However, the Korut's eyes widen as he continued.

“And this is the true owner of this land. It's an arcade.”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Korut's gaze immediately turned to reality.

Grey skin and long ears. And an Elvish beauty. Korut's gaze faced with reality was roughly refuted.

“Liar! You can't be a heterogeneous nobleman. Impossible!”

“Believe it or not, you're on your own. ”

Ferda smiles in relief.

It was a cold smile like an ice cube.

“Only the Lord can help you. ”

After that, Korut's shoulders twitch. When I heard that the realm had all the decision-making power, I blamed it on my silence.

“Then let me ask you first. ”

Meanwhile, Ferda swoops her hands and turns the conversation elsewhere.

“Explain the strange things that happened in the desert. ”

“I said that before. ”

“The Lord did not hear. Explain it again here. ”

Korut frowns as soon as he asks.

Then he began to speak a language he couldn't understand. It was fast, but I couldn't understand a word I was saying. It was a moment when Robert realized why he didn't understand.

After a long story, Korut closes his mouth. But something changed. You look much paler than you did before you told me about the strange things.

As soon as I saw this, Robert's words hit my mind.

‘At that time, the face of the lion seemed to be terrified. ’

It definitely looked suspicious.

While Ferda was locked away in thought, the reality turned to Tervand.

“What did he say?”

“Two months ago, the sky went dark between the stars. ”

The rational answer followed the interpretation of Tervand as a signal.

“Since then, the sun has never set, and the oasis has only been floored overnight. They also say the water in the nearby sea is parched and all sorts of monsters protrude from beneath the desert. ”

In the following description, I opened my eyes wide.

“That's definitely what you'd call a fecal matter. And?”

“I've explained the kinds of monsters. There were monsters that used to be seen in the desert and monsters that looked like golems. But in the meantime, they say that there were a mixture of monsters they had never seen before. ”

“What kind of monster? ”

Turning to reality, Tervand looked at Korut. Then he spoke something in the language of the desert. Korut is momentarily embarrassed, and quietly replies. Shortly thereafter, a further explanation of Tervand was followed.

“A monster covered in bark. They are similar to Humans or slightly taller. They are three or four times stronger than warriors. The speed is similar to that of the articles. ”

The golden eyes sparkled with curiosity.

If it's covered in bark, it's a plant monster. However, botanical monsters are usually unable to move Bondi. But I didn't think you could move.

“Well, it's curious, but... ”

I blurred the horse with an awkward face.

It's definitely an unusual monster. But that was it. It was because it didn't have anything to be afraid of. Then Tervand finished saying what he could not.

“The scariest part is the ability to suck human life out. ”

“Suck on life? ”

“Yes. They are monsters who crave human blood and soul. They say they really look like demons, so they call it Akasha. ”

Akasha is the language of the desert, meaning "Devil."

Thervand then exchanged with Korut again.

“They say more than six colonies have already turned into shrubs. As for the colony, it's about the same size as the Earl's small town. ”

Based on the Earl's decree, 2,000 cities of population are called small cities. Assuming a similar size, at least 10,000 tribesmen were exterminated.

In fact, I frowned at the size of the damage bigger than I thought.

“A monster covered in bark. and absorb life. ”

I thought about it, but I didn't think of any monsters I'd recognize. Of course. You haven't actually been through that many monsters.

So I looked up at Ferda straight away.

“Does Ferda know anything? ”

In fact, Ferda is a paleontologist who knows nothing. I knew a lot about all sorts of strange monsters and disasters. So I asked the question with anticipation.

But the answer never came back.

“Ferda?”

I called out my name again, but this time it was the same.

In reality, he tilted his head with a puzzled face. Then something suddenly came into view. It was that Ferda's face was noticeably frozen.

As you can see, Ferda is now in a state of rigidity.

While listening to Tervand's interpretation, some of the original content came to mind.

"The morning did not come at night in the desert. One month, two months, and three months later, the sky was still black. Not only that, but all the pools that died in the desert disappeared and dried up to the sea.

Finally, this phenomenon spread throughout the Kingdom and beyond.

We left with the investigators to determine the cause of the anomaly. Soon, when we arrived at a place called the end of the desert, we felt the sight.

This is an omen of disaster.

The second round of the Savior was a meaningful round in many ways.

It was the first time he had overcome the first disaster and at the same time showed him the identity of the second disaster. What I just came up with was the second item.

At the same time, this was exactly the same as Tervand's interpretation.

That is, what this meant was:

‘· · · · · · · Second Disaster. ’

Ferda's eyes freeze cold.

Then one question came to my mind.

‘But why already · · · · · · ·? ’

The second disaster is much later, because the second one happened the year he turned 19. Of course, the closer the repetition got, the quicker the advent of disaster came, but this was too fast.

The eighth war started right after the war. ’

The civil war in the Kingdom of Laderon ended in the winter of the year when he was fifteen years old. A few months later, a second catastrophe appeared. That's exactly what Tervand said.

But this time, I was over a year ahead.

"Did the variables I created accelerate the advent of disaster? ’

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't explain it.

Ferda's been going through all the records for years. So different from the original.

I was so lost in thought.

Tighter!

Suddenly, someone grabs my hand.

Ferda looks out of her mind at the place where she can feel it.

“In fact?”

“I was dumbstruck. I was wondering if you were sick. ”

I looked up at him with a worried face.

And then I thought, how many times have I talked to you? I couldn't help but think about the precursor phenomenon of the second disaster.

“No, I just need to think for a second. ”

Ferda shakes her head and smiles.

He tapped his shoulder and immediately looked at Tervand.

“Where were we? ”

“That's all I've just interpreted. ”

Perhaps he only explained the precursor to the disaster.

Ferda nods, turning her head toward Korut. In the air, the eye contact is frightening, and the corrugated head tightens.

“We don't have enough power. Therefore, I want to ask for help. ”

But the answer never came back.

Korut doesn't move, either. After a short time, Ferda opens her tightly closed mouth.

“In the last hour, we have lost a lot of blood. ”

“ · · · · · ·? ”

Korut raises his head after a sudden spill.

Then he saw. Ferda's eyes are drier than the desert's.

“Your tribe seeks our land across the desert, and only a hundred years ago they trampled Mullen here. ”

Hostile voices spill out.

He must not have been distracted, but he would have realized by now. I don't know what you're talking about. Ferda frowns, staring at the Korut deep down.

“And yet you thought we would help? No, why did you come to us in the first place? Somewhere else. ”

“· · · · · · · · was rejected. Everyone.”

At that moment, Korut gave the same answer as groaning.

“The kingdom of light, the kingdom of mountains, sent lions. But no one answered. Only the kingdom is left here. ”

It is probably referring to Sererheim the Holy Kingdom and Jerome the Mountain Kingdom.

Korut bites his lips tightly, lowering his head again.

“We know. Shameless. But there is no way. ”

The straightened knee gradually bent. Soon his knee touched the ground. However, Korut's actions did not stop on his knees. He literally falls facedown, his head flat on the ground.

“Help. Save my family." Please. ”

The other two lions fell to the ground in response to Korut's actions. I felt desperate and sincere, as did my head, my voice, and my heart.

“With all due respect, for a warrior in the desert, that's perfect submission. as I did to the king earlier. ”

Then Tervand added a supplementary explanation.

Ferda, on the other hand, was not impressed. To be honest with him, the Desert Tribe was a complete stranger to him. Dead or not, he was nothing but a creature.

So whatever the story was, I just refused and tried to send it back.

‘· · · · · · · · · However, the foretelling of the second disaster is different. ’

Ferda's eyes freeze dry.

Then I suddenly remembered what happened on the page that was not recorded.

‘Yoo Baek Hyun said it would be useless to go there. ’

He asked us not to go to the end of the desert because there was a second disaster. With the saying that nothing can be done until the disaster comes a second time.

‘But. ’

I was strangely troubled. I felt like I could and could not leave, and I had to check something out at the end of the desert. It was a kind of hunted instinct from a long time ago.

Ferda quickly turns away, hesitating.

It was to get opinions from others.

“In fact, what do you want to do? ”

I whispered so small that I couldn't hear it to Corut. The headstand still opens its mouth, looking at the Korut lying on the ground.

“Technically, there's no reason to help. ”

The cold answer came back.

Whatever the Desert Tribe was, it didn't matter. However, the answer is not yet finished.

“But it looks like we need to investigate. There is no guarantee that Akasha, a wooden monster, will not cross the desert and come here. ”

Akasha seems to be an unknown monster.

So it looked like he was trying to get information on this opportunity.

Meanwhile, Ferda stares at the ceiling in an awkward manner. The answer would have been over by the time I told you I wouldn't help. He seemed to have grown quite well, and he smiled with a pleasant smile.

“What do you think of Ferda? ”

At that time, reality asked him for his opinion.

I didn't have to hesitate because I had similar ideas.

“I agree with you. ”

“Good. Let's find out. ”

It came to a conclusion.

After smiling at reality, Ferda turns away. In the process, the smile disappeared everywhere.

Soon after, he tried to put a decision in his mouth.

“If you help us, I promise. ”

The starry corrugated head flashes up.

With a desperate look in his eyes, he uttered an unexpected word.

“I'll give you anything you want. ”

Ferda's eyes turn round in the suggestions she hears.

“Anything?”

“Anything but an unreasonable death. ”

There was one condition, but it was truly a radical offer.

Ferda closes her mouth again for unexpected gain. to think about what to propose. However, the concern was not long. It was because I thought of what I needed most in life.

After a while, he opened his mouth.

“The Earl recently waged a war with the army of the dead. A lot of people died and got hurt. The earth has turned into a land of death worse than the desert, and this moment is also devoting a lot of time and effort to purifying the land. ”

Somewhat out of the blue, Korut, as well as the truth, looked at him.

Ferda said with everyone's attention.

“That's why we don't want any more risks. ”

“I swear it. ”

Korut answered coldly.

But this was not the answer Ferda wanted.

“No, I'm not satisfied with such aesthetics. ”

“So what do you want? ”

Did he feel like he was gonna close the deal? Korut urged an answer with a frowny face. Facing this, Ferda said in a bold tone.

“Your tribes and deserts. Sacrifice everything to the Lord. ”

“· · · · · · · · What? ”

Korut stares blankly. Did you hear wrong? It was like asking. But sadly, it is not a mistake to hear it.

“Then I will gladly save you. ”

Ferda's mouth is filled with an evil smile.

Actually, it was an ‘Akasha’ smile.
