Count Scribe's Tutor

Chapter 59. Second bookmark (3)

Ferda can't sleep until dawn.

The situation is already twisted as it develops from the original. So I had to come up with specific measures as to how to behave in the future.

And it was only at dawn that the fundamental framework of the plan was set.

“Good. That should do it for now. ”

The moment Ferda stood up with a light smile.

Suddenly, it was popular. A familiar maneuver. It was Isha. She opens her eyes as soon as she finds Ferda in the same spot as yesterday.

“Huh? What? You, no way. ”

“I can't sleep. ”

I got up on my feet with a chic answer.

Then I turned the conversation elsewhere.

“How's it going? ”

“He's feeling pretty good now. It may seem a little weak on the outside, but the magic has calmed down. He'll regain his strength as soon as he eats. ”

I'm glad to hear that. The prerequisites for his overnight plan included realities recovering within the day.

He nodded once, then headed straight for Silvane.

Shortly after arriving at the destination, Ferda enters the barracks.

“Ah, Ferda. ”

At that moment, the realization of his movements shifts his ears.

As Isha said, you look powerless on the outside. Her complexion was still pale and her lips were all parched. However, the amount of magic was restored. Probably thanks to the many magical restoration skills that he possesses.

“How are you feeling? ”

“It's okay now. Except for a little hunger. ”

I stroked my stomach with an awkward smile.

Then Tervand, who was standing outside the barracks, quickly bows his head.

“I'll have dinner ready in a moment. ”

Tervand quickly concealed himself.

Thanks to this, only two priests remain in the barracks. Around that time, the realm leaning against the barracks columns looked at Ferda with worried eyes.

“Is Ferda really okay? ”

“Of course. I didn't do anything. ”

“No, I think I fell asleep because of the look on my face. ”

The golden eyes sparkle sharply.

Sometimes there are sharp corners like this.

Ferda smiles slightly as she did to Isha, saying that she couldn't sleep well. Then I skillfully turned the topic elsewhere.

“I need to talk to you after dinner. ”

“If it's important, you can tell me now. ”

He shakes his head and smiles.

“Tervand's hands are slow. It's gonna take a while. ”

On second thought, it was.

Ferda nods as if she knows. After sitting down, I opened my closed lips.

“Discuss future plans. ”

Start with a quick word.

The measures he had planned all night were spilled.

After a short time. By the time the candles were almost melted, the story was over. While listening to the story with my eyes closed, he opened his mouth and replied.

“Okay. I'll follow Ferda's lead. ”

Acceptance without any rebuttal.

Ferda narrows her eyes again.

“Can I make that decision right away? ”

“Of course. This was Ferda's decision to think about all night. ”

He nods happily with a smiling face.

“I'm sure it's for the best. I think so. ”

There was strong trust in his face, face, eyes and voice.

I'm confronted with pure faith, which is no lie at all. Conversely, this side feels hot. I smiled awkwardly when Ferda scratched my cheek.

“My king, I have brought you something to eat. ”

Tervand returns.

A small meal of steamed potatoes, stew, and hard bread. But starving for a full day was a true feast.

By the time I started eating so well.

Ferda quietly moves to the corner of the barracks. I took a moment to review the gift I received from Lantern.

The first thing Ferda noticed was an antidote.

A small syringe with only two fingers and an unidentified drug.

It's obvious what the antidote is about. ’

Ferda smiles silently as she looks at it.

An antidote that prevents infection and mutation when wounded by Akasha.

I spilled a little magic just in case. Then the detailed information about the antidote started to come to my attention.

[Name]: Decryption Kit MK099

[Grade]: Hero

[Type]: Consumables

Assistant to the third author, ■ ■ the ultimate antidote. It has the efficacy of preventing infection by debris of disasters and emptying all contaminants out of the body.

However, if the infectivity is more than 80 percent, it will not work.

[Quantity]: (10) EA

As expected.

And the censored word probably means the learned artificial intelligence that Lantern has, the seed. I don't know why I was censored.

But how do you know if it's infectious? ’

Then I suddenly got caught up in the question.

But the question didn't last very long. It was because there was a small pair of glasses enclosed with a decoding kit. This is an item that shows the degree of infection at first sight.

‘And then... ’

The real treasure that Lantern left behind.

It was time to check the Commander's supplies.

[Name]: Supply Only for Commander

[Grade]: Legend

[Type]: Consumables

A treasure left by the third author to the ninth author. It contains equipment used by the third author. Supplies have a total of three pieces of equipment, all of which have Durability. If Durability is depleted, the equipment will perish.

[Conditions of Use]: 9th Author

[Equipment Owned]: 3 types in total

It was similar to Yoo Baek Hyun's Botsim, but slightly different.

It was literally a gift box containing Lantern's equipment.

Ferda's eyes confirm this, sparkling like a child who found a toy box. Now I was going to take it out one by one and examine my abilities step by step.

Dallac

The dining room is finished.

It was so clean that the bowl containing stew looked like a new bowl.

“I wish there was more. ”

Feel sorry for yourself again.

Then Tervand, standing silently, opens his mouth.

“Long live the king! He has eaten six rations! ”

It was a lot of sheep, though.

Ferda nods as she listens to the story. The reality narrows her eyes. Then he glanced at Tervand and said.

“So what? Are you bruising because you ate too much? ”

“Oh, no. I just wanted to let you know there's no food left. ”

Did he find the plant uncomfortable?

Tervand shakes his hand. Then Ferda smiled, clapping her shoulders.

“Let's eat in termite village on the way back. ”

“Wow, that's great! Milawi's meat was delicious there. ”

The look on my face was bright all the time.

Thanks to this, Tervand heads down without a word. I suppose he sends his thanks in his own way. Then Ferda looks at Tervand and talks to him.

“Tervand.”

“Yes, Ferda. ”

“Call the others. I need to talk to you. ”

“Yes, sir. I'll call them right away. ”

Tervand, who lowers his head again, leaves the barracks.

Shortly thereafter, I felt a number of notches outside the barracks. Ferda walks out with a lift. The next thing I saw were warriors from the desert tribes, including Isha, Korut and Shantam.

“As you instructed, I've called everyone together. ”

“Yes, thank you. ”

He replied instead.

Finally, the other party's gaze settles on Ferda. It's like asking why you called. Faced with this, Ferda opens her mouth.

“I thought about it all night and came to a conclusion. ”

Needless to say, there is no need to tell me what the problem is.

Scared to the end, Korut's face stiffens. He stares at Ferda with a peculiar glance. It was as if the fate of the desert tribe had been decided, depending on the answers coming out of his mouth.

And momentarily, Ferda announced.

“End the expedition. Then we're going back to the Earl. ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

It was the same answer as the Qingcheon Wall power.

The Corute and the Desert Tribe have opened their eyes. They weren't the only ones. Isha stares at Ferda in surprise. Then Korut grips his teeth as if he were awake.

“Are you crazy? You're leaving that behind?! ”

A thick vein of blood rose from my neck. The face is getting redder and redder.

If I leave it alone, I'll swing at you. He opened his mouth to explain why Ferda was reacting. However, there was one who went ahead.

“Don't hang up. Ferda's talking right now. ”

The cool, sunken eyes envelop the corridor.

And as a gesture of truth, Tervand and Kwain stare at him. You must have reacted to the master's emotions. With a terrifying spill from everywhere, the Korut quickly shuts up.

“Now we can keep talking. ”

I turned my head and smiled.

Thanks to me, it was easier to say. Ferda nods, explaining why she wants to stop exploring and return to the erl.

‘Of course, we can't all tell the truth. ’

To do that, Lantern, the author of the third book, had to explain. Ferda gives a prepared answer out of her mouth because she couldn't.

“They evolve over time. ”

First, I extracted the information I wanted to convey.

And to make it true, I used the set-points that I was given. I've been a mercenary for over a decade, and I've seen monsters like Akasha.

After a decade of talking,

The intestine is quiet enough not to hear the ants crawl.

Was it because he was shocked by the unthinkable truth? The group is mostly strange-looking. But technically, it wasn't because it was shocking. At that moment, Korut uttered a word that represented everyone's feelings.

“No, that's nonsense! ”

I was about to scream like it was ridiculous.

The realm once again empowered my eyes. Korut, who saw this, quickly closed his mouth. However, the look on his face did not make any sense.

Then, I heard someone's voice.

“That's a plausible story. ”

It's the Shantam. He nods.

As if you agree with Ferda.

“They're actually really good learners. It also complements and grows weaknesses, as Ferda said. ”

In response from Shantam, Korut grimaced his face.

“Shantam! What nonsense are you talking? ”

“It's not nonsense. H'Korut knows, doesn't he? that the first Akasha horde that emerged in the desert was much weaker than it is today. ”

“It was an underdeveloped individual! ”

“No, they have no concept of growth. You saw it yesterday, right? Behold the birth of Akasha from the fruit! ”

Shantam's opinions were not compromised.

Even if the opponent is an heir to the Desert Tribe. Meanwhile, was his attitude somewhat disrespectful? The warriors of the Desert Tribe, who were watching silently, emit a ferocious energy.

But it didn't last long.

[Grrrrrrrrr!]

It's because Keang made threatening noises revealing his teeth.

Then the warriors settle down like a gentle sheep, wondering when. Thanks to this, Shantam was able to continue speaking freely.

“If we take care of them here, they'll come back with a bigger catastrophe. Then there will be more blood. So it's time to wait for the right moment. ”

After finishing his speech, Shantam gazed at Korut without a word.

Flawless eyes. Facing this, Korut grips his teeth.

It's because I didn't think of anything to disagree with what Shantam said. And yesterday, the sight of Akasha being born from the fruit was more clear than anything else.

“I understand. ”

Korut, who had been moaning for a while, immediately bows his head.

Then he turned to Ferda and said,

“We follow your decision. ”

“That's wise. ”

Convince Korut and the decision is over.

Ferda smiles and explains the specific journey ahead. As Korut listened to the explanation, he immediately asked a question.

“What shall we do after your erl returns? ”

“Gather all the desert tribes together. ”

“And then?”

“When you get near the border, send an envoy to the White Paper. In the meantime, I'll arrange for you to stay. ”

It wasn't that hard to find land for the desert tribes to stay in.

The first catastrophe, the Erc invasion, has turned into a land with no one near the border. And that land is useless anyway. Lending it to the desert tribes and giving it color won't be bad either.

Ferda nods as if she understood.

“Tribal norms, time is needed. Quite a lot.”

Of course. It will be a gathering of tribes across vast deserts.

It is not a temporary evacuation, but a minimum of a few months of evacuation is a major task. It can't be done in a day or two.

“I can't wait long. I don't know when the fruit will fall. ”

But I couldn't just wait.

So Ferda demanded a deadline. Korut, who was having second thoughts, replied with a slight splendid face.

“Two months. This is the limit. It's harder than that. ”

I expected a hundred, but it's faster than I thought.

Ferda nods happily.

“Great. I'll see you at the border in two months. ”

And one more thing. Shantam has decided to take Ferda. There's nothing to do anyway, so it was a ploy to get back to the territory and get a little more education.

That's when the conversation with the Desert Tribe ended.

The group begins to move swiftly.

I was ready for my return. A burden piled up on Kwain's back. Ferda stares back at the wooden pillar beyond the fog.

This concludes the desert expedition.

‘What's left of it. ’

Returning to the Earl and preparing for the second calamity.

I had to care about the internal affairs of the kingdom that I did not know when it would explode again. There was much work to be done, but Ferda's eyes did not shine.

We could have done it from the start, like we always do.

“Ferda! Let's go. Let's go eat! ”

Then you hear the voice of reality calling to him.

Perda turns away immediately, out of her mind.

Not long after that.

The Bone Dragon flew into the sky with its powerful wingspan.
