Count Scribe's Tutor

Chapter. 60

Contrast

The Holy Land of Serra Ham.

The atmosphere inside the temple was heavy. The faces of the high priests had long been stained with dirt, and the appearance of the holy king, Herheim, was not so good.

When there was such a silence.

Yuck!

You hear the door to the temple open.

The young man who appeared immediately was dressed in a silver robe. He was a saint with sad eyes. The saint walks slowly and bows his head to Herheim.

“I heard the trust came down. ”

“· · · · · · · Yes. ”

Herheem nods quietly.

An anxious face. The saint who discovered this immediately got to the point.

“Do you know what it is? ”

The old man next to Herheim moves. He was the second most respected figure after the Holy Father, Cardinal Rich Hills. The cardinal handed the white slate in his arms to the saint.

It was a slate engraved with trust.

The saint who carefully received it immediately put the contents of the trust in his mouth.

“The end of the east. The flower of death bears the fruit of destruction. Prepare for hell before your last breath begins. ”

That was the end of the trust.

But I didn't care much. Trust has always been like this.

The saint read the tablet several times since then. to imprint the trust itself on the head. A moment later, he hands the Lithograph over to the Cardinal and mutters in a solemn tone.

“We must prepare for disaster. ”

Actually, there's nothing else to do.

Although it was mentioned as the end of the east, the investigators could not be dispatched unless the exact location was specified. It would be best to gather all the troops and prepare for disaster.

When the saint thinks so.

I heard the voice of Cardinal Rich Hills sinking low.

“But yesterday there was a report like this from the Sanctuary. ”

The Cardinal gave me a report on parchment.

The saint who received it went straight down to the report. Then, shortly after, my eyes opened wide.

“An unclean identity has been detected beyond the Eastern Desert Canyon? ”

The Saint's eyes turned into a frightened rabbit.

But soon, there was a little bit of suspicion.

“Is this report reliable? ”

“Yes. All the priests of the Sanctuary have reported the same thing. ”

Everyone said the same thing, not just one.

It was clear what this meant. This means that beyond the canyons of the Eastern Desert, there is a potential disaster site.

What to do is simple if the location is specified in an instant.

The saint opened his mouth with a stiff face.

“Perhaps you should send an expedition. ”

“So were we. But Holy Father... ”

The Cardinal sighed again and looked back at Ergheem. The saint also turned his gaze. It sounded as if Herheim had refused to dispatch the expedition.

Then Errhim replied with a low groan.

“· · · · · Apart from the Trust, I heard another voice. ”

I'm afraid that's over.

The saint had just swallowed up the question he was about to spit out.

While receiving the trust, Herheim's surroundings are quieter than any other place. It sounded so vivid when the needle fell.

But you heard someone's voice?

What this means is only one. It meant the voice of God. According to the records of the Bible, there were often similar cases, so it was not a silly sound.

“But the content is a little strange. ”

Then Errhim mutters with a narrow glance.

Then the saint couldn't bear the curiosity and asked.

“What did the goddess say? ”

“I was told not to act rashly. That was it.”

It was definitely a strange message.

It's not unusual to actively move to prevent a disaster. The saint tilts his head curiously.

“I don't understand. What do you mean by that? ”

“I don't know. That's why we've been talking. ”

After Herheim's answer is finished.

I finally understood why the eyes of the cardinals and priests, including him, were so dark. From now on, I am hesitant about how to behave.

Later, Cardinal Rich Hills asked a strange question.

“What do you think? ”

Along with that, everyone's gaze poured into the saints.

The saint was not embarrassed by the sudden question. He groans and ponders, and then gives his opinion.

“Personally, even if it's not a big expedition, maybe it's right to send in a small group. ”

“Why?”

“First, the Sanctuary has detected an unclean identity. ”

It is the same personality that I felt in the first disaster.

This was, above all, perfect evidence. However, I couldn't ignore the voice of the goddess, so it would be better to send a small group of people to investigate than a large expedition.

Meanwhile, the high priests nodded their heads.

As if I agree with the idea of a saint.

Then, right next to me, I heard a dry answer.

“I agree with the words of the Son. ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

The priests were furious with the strange voices that came out of nowhere.

They're not the only ones. Errhim, Rich Hills, and the Saint have opened their eyes in surprise. It was because there was someone who had never seen the voice before.

Girl with silver hair and lashes coming down to her shoulders, and pale yellow eyes. Wearing white armor, she continues to speak, gazing at everyone.

“You can't pretend you haven't seen an unclean force. ”

With the appearance of the girl, everyone's eyes were flickering.

Then a priest mutters in a bewildered voice.

“How long have you been here? ”

“I just got here. ”

How did you get in here if you didn't feel the door open or the way it works? The eyes of some priests were questioned. Then another priest frowned and asked.

“Looks like a paladin to me. You. What's your name? ”

“I can't answer that. ”

“What?"

“I didn't get a name from anyone. ”

When I came back, the priest's face crumpled.

“What? Making fun of me right now · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“That's enough. ”

There was a man who stopped the priests. It's the Rich Hills. The priestly silence is like when. The Rich Hills head down towards the girl.

“I'm sorry. I'll apologize on your behalf. ”

The priests were momentarily distracted by his actions.

Who is the most revered member of the Holy Nation after King Herheim? He apologized with his head down. And respecting it. So, naturally, you'd be surprised.

But there was something really surprising about it.

“It's been a while since I've seen you. Cardinal.”

It was what Rich Hills called a cardinal towards a girl.

There are twelve Cardinals of Serrhaim, commonly known. And none of them were women.

Then why do you call her Cardinal?

When there was a deep question on the priests' faces. Her lips tightly closed.

“Yes, you're much older than the last time I saw you. ”

“Haha, it's been 30 years. ”

I miss Rich Hill's face.

Meanwhile, as soon as I heard the answer, the priests' bodies shivered.

“West, probably · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

A long time ago, I heard this saying.

Hidden Sanctum in Sererheim is home to an old paladin. And one day, when the kingdom is in crisis, it suddenly appears and becomes the Savior who guards the kingdom.

The moment I came to this point, the word "presence" was engraved in the heads of the priests. A moment later, a priest mutters in a trembling voice.

“· · · · · · Cardinal without name. ”

The ultimate power of the Holy Country Cereheim.

He's been wielding God's mace against unclean things for decades.

The appearance of the hero, which was not recorded anywhere but from mouth to mouth, quickly reminded me of the faces of the priests. Meanwhile, the nameless Cardinal looked at Ergheem with an expressionless face.

“Let me go, Holy Father. ”

“Sending where? ”

“I'll investigate beyond the canyons of the Eastern Desert. ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

The next thing I heard, Errhim's face became stiff.

However, the cardinal's words are not yet finished.

“I will see with my own eyes and determine if I am a threat. And if you are judged to be a threat. ”

For a moment, the Cardinal blurred his eyebrows.

Immediately, a strong life leaked from his body.

“I will destroy its very existence immediately. ”

His whole body was strong enough to stand still.

“An unclean personality shouldn't exist in this world. ”

One final word of absolute faith.

The Cardinal without name's eyes glowed fiercely.

* * *

Two days after we left the canyon.

Ferda's party returns safely to the erl. It was only a week after I left the castle. In a gap to replenish Qiang's magical power, Ferda heads for the White Paper alone.

To tell Robert what had happened.

“I see. Barbarians in the desert come here. ”

Robert blurs with a slightly stiff face.

Ferda asked curiously.

“Is there something wrong? ”

“Of course there's a little problem. But it's not a big deal. ”

So you don't have to worry too much.

Robert replied. After a while, he sticks something into the paperwork, and suddenly he looks up at something.

“By the way, what is the number of immigrants? ”

“I don't know the details, but I'm guessing more than 10,000. ”

Maybe more than that.

Robert sighs as he comes back with an unorthodox answer.

“Hmph, that's more than I thought. ”

“All the Barbarians are migrating. Isn't the land enough? ”

“Enough. But that's not the problem. ”

The finger that was tapping the table stopped.

“More than 10,000 migrants · · · · · · ·. ”

Robert's eyes narrow.

The moment I heard this, I had a great sense of what he was worried about.

“Is it because it's about the size of a colony? ”

“That's right. It won't be a problem right now, but it might be a problem if the realm succeeds as lord." ”

If there are more immigrants than there are existing territories, something annoying may happen one day. This was Robert's concern. But Ferda shakes her head with an indifferent face.

“I wouldn't worry about it. I have insurance.”

“Hmm? Insurance? ”

I look at Robert, wondering.

Ferda explained the curse to the Barbarians in the desert.

“Amazing. I didn't think that was possible. ”

Robert, who had heard all the stories, expressed his honest admiration.

However, for a moment, his face became heavily hardened.

“Just as a friend, I advise you, not ever. He who does not embrace the mind but reigns in terror will not last long. ”

“But much more efficient. It saves time."

With Ferda's answer, the eyes of the two collided in the air.

After a short while, the silent conversation followed.

Shortly after, Robert sighed and took notice. Then Ferda slaps him on the shoulder with a smile.

“I'll leave you to it, anyway. ”

“Phew, I feel like more work. ”

Robert sighs again in frustration.

Ferda's expression, on the other hand, is dull. Of course. I felt like I'd done one hell of a homework assignment.

Then, Robert suddenly smiles like a villain.
