Count Scribe's Tutor

Chapter 62. Variation (4)

A canyon at the edge of the Eastern Desert.

The desert tribe called this place the Wyvern's Nest. It's because the Wyvern lived in that nest.

The Wyvern's Nest was also one of the most dangerous forbidden areas in the desert. It was due to the large number of monsters in the vicinity of the canyon, and the unknown river of strong acidity flowed beneath the canyon.

But now, the Wyvern's Nest is so colorless in its name. Once the Wyvern washed his eyes and searched, he was nowhere to be seen, and all the monsters that lived nearby were dead.

Where is that? I don't see Akasha, the worst monster who has recently appeared in the desert. If a passerby now sees a canyon, he mistakenly thinks it's a beautiful canyon with a red river running through it.

Then how did the Wyvern's Nest end up like this?

There are many reasons, of course. But most recently, it was a ruthless predator attack.

Kuaaaaaaang!

The earth shook with a loud explosion.

Soon after, a group of Akashas from all over disappeared, surrounded by a white flame.

They just woke up from the fruit. And finally, Akasha was no longer able to find it.

“Your Eminence, may I rest a little longer? ”

Then someone talks to the beast.

An accessory woman with red hair. It was Idella, a high priest and a holy judge. Meanwhile, the beast hears this and shakes its head with a expressionless face.

“We're not done yet. ”

“Yes? But there's nothing around. ”

“Isn't that a lot of them? ”

Silver-haired beast, the nameless Cardinal, raises the Great Sword.

The tip of the sharp branch is then pointed where the Great Sword is pointed. It was a bud that had not yet bloomed.

“Weeds don't disappear until they're all grown. ”

The cardinal's eyes were sharply polished.

“So I won't leave anything behind. ”

The Cardinal slammed the ground with a dry murmur.

It's hard to believe you're human. Soon after, she swung her dagger, a sacred flame swallowed the buds as they were.

Bang, bang! Kuang!

Did he feel threatened by the Cardinal's actions?

More than a hundred fruits fell from the sky.

[Scratching]

Akasha protrudes from the fruit, rushing towards the Cardinal. But there was no need to worry. Their charge was like a moth leaping into the flames.

Meanwhile, Idella, who was watching this scene, suddenly closed her eyes.

“Hey, Cedric. ”

“Why?”

“Well, I was wondering if I was mistaken. ”

Idella scratches her cheek and reaches out.

Then he pointed to Akasha, who was just born from the fruit.

“· · · · · · Don't you think it's whiter than before? ”

When I first encountered Akasha, their coverings were dull gray. However, the color of the envelope became lighter as they were treated. And now it's almost as white as snow.

But Cedric's reaction is universal.

“The Cardinal's scared and whitened. ”

Watching you make jokes like this.

Then she looks at you with a clean face.

“I'm sorry, it's not funny at all. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Don't do it again. Gosh, I thought my ears were rotting. ”

Is it because she was anxious about her reaction?

Cedric closes his mouth and swings his spear at the crowded acacians. About ten minutes later, the Cardinal, who was spreading branches from the branches, returned to the ground.

“Huh? You're back already? ”

“Yes, I've taken care of everything nearby. ”

Like he said, there was nothing above my head.

Purple buds and even pointy branches disappeared. All ashes are covered in sacred flames.

“There's only one thing left. ”

The cardinal took a big step.

Soon the place she arrived was a huge barrier. It was an unknown tree that was blooming flowers and producing fruits. However, the Cardinal's reaction was a little strange.

Originally, I would have swung my sword at the same time, but now I was just watching the tree.

“Cardinal?”

Idella tilts her head.

Instead of answering, the Cardinal reached out and stroked the tree. As the awkward silence passed, my lips tightly closed.

“Somehow I feel like I miss you. ”

“Do you miss it? ”

“Yes, it's hard to explain, but it is. ”

The Cardinal's eyes had a slight liveliness.

Knowing this, she makes an interesting face. It was worthwhile because the Cardinal had never had this reaction under any circumstances.

“So what are you going to do with this? ”

Objectively speaking, trees are an evil thing to kill.

Because it was the mother of a mysterious monster. I also felt a little bit of unclean power. However, when I saw the Cardinal's reaction, I was curious and asked a question like this.

Then the Cardinal asked me what I thought was natural to ask.

“Cut.”

“Yes? But you just miss it · · · · · · ·. ”

“Yes, but I feel a slight unclean force. So first I'm going to cut it down, and then I'm going to cut off all the rot. ”

The Cardinal's eyes returned to normal.

She draws back a long distance, grabbing her sword and swinging it.

Kuaaaaaaang!

A divine flame swallowed the tree with a loud sound.

But I couldn't burn the tree. No, it didn't even burn. And there was something even more surprising.

“Wow, that's hard. Just a scratch. ”

The Cardinal must have swung with all his might.

However, it was only a small scratch, as if taken with an axe.

“I don't think it's going to be a day or two. ”

The Cardinal also muttered with a solemn face, as if he had realized this.

“I think we should camp here for a while. ”

Idella's face darkens, frightened to the end of her words.

Her Eminence had never uttered an empty word before. Then it was as if he would not leave this place until he cut down that tree.

At that moment, I heard the voice of saving Idella.

“I'm sorry, Your Eminence. I don't think so. ”

It was the monk Cedric.

He was a bit of a hard talker.

“I just got a call from my home country. ”

“You mean back? Why all of a sudden? ”

“A new trust has come down. ”

“Yes? Me, really?! ”

Idella exclaims in surprise. It was uncommon for the trust to come down in succession. Cardinal also opened his eyes wide as if he was quite surprised.

“What does it say? ”

“I don't know. However, the contents of the Trust itself relate to the return of the Cardinal. ”

The answer continues to frighten Ethella.

“Yes?! Did God mention you, then? ”

Cedric gives a silent nod to Idella's cry.

Then she opens her mouth.

Of course, since the founding of the Holy Land of Cereheim, God has never appointed anyone.

The Cardinal, on the other hand, was different from Idella.

There was no sign of shock, horror, or emotion on her face. It was just a pity about leaving an unclean herd behind.

“I can't help it. I understand.”

With a deep sigh, the Cardinal turned around.

After turning against the tree, she raises her head. Later, the cardinal's gaze was set on the silver moon that was floating in the night sky. The cardinal muttered with the moon in his yellow eyes.

“I have no choice if he wants me to. ”

With a quick recollection of the cardinal.

Sererheim's investigators are on their way home.

* * *

Same time.

The lights in the conference room remained on even after midnight. Ferda, Silvan, and Radina remained.

A sleeping radina covered with a blanket on a soft cushion.

With Radina behind her back, Ferda listens to the story of reality.

It was about the situation in the desert. At first, I listened with a expressionless face, but as time went on, my complexion became stiffer.

“· · · · · · · · What? ”

Then, my hard face cracked.

It was because an unbelievable word popped out of my mouth for a moment.

“What did you just say? Personality?”

“Yes. Rodenhag sensed a presence of character. ”

Ferda's eyes tremble with the continued answer.

He knew that he was the only one in the world who had credibility. One of them was the realm before his eyes, and the other was the most powerful and nameless cardinal of the Holy Nation, Ser Heim.

As a matter of fact, a creature of myth.

So much more intimidating.

‘But why is he in the desert? ’

The Cardinal had never been to the desert in all his previous times. No, there were not many enemies who left the Holy Land in the first place. He had a mission to protect the sanctuary.

‘He left the sanctuary five times. ’

Three of them were to prevent the first disaster, Erc, and the other two, when they pursued their Awakening Acts as commanders.

Other than that, no matter what happened, I did not leave the sanctuary.

Even when the second disaster started and the fruit fell from heaven, the nameless Cardinal was silent. Why would he suddenly visit the desert?

Suddenly, when I was questioned by such a question, something caught my eye.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

The moon's eyes on its neck.

As soon as I saw this, one possibility hit the brain.

The fifth original. When the real one who stole the Moon's Eye fled the Sanctuary pursuit. In reality, the Cardinal Anonymous caught up in a relentless pursuit and a tight siege.

At that time, he asked the cardinal how he knew where he was.

And the cardinal replied:

Because you exposed your unclean personality to the world by removing the sacred object. This must also be God's intention.

There are two things you can see.

One is that you can avoid the cardinal while wearing the eyes of the sacred, moon. The other was that if you take off the sacrament and use an unclean personality, the cardinal senses the position of the reality.

‘I thought he was heading east. ’

Where the cardinal is headed, only the giant tree, the mother of Akasha, is there.

There, the truth took off the moon's eyes and used its divine power. To save Ferda. With this, I guess, it seemed that the position of reality at that time seemed certain.

‘But it's there now.' ’

As I mentioned before, only Akasha and the giant tree.

However, the Cardinal couldn't just ignore the fact that there was no practice. You can feel the energy of disaster in Akasha. He must have killed all the Akashas in sight.

‘Now I understand. ’

Why the potion didn't work for Akasha, the Test Subject.

I also understood how I got my self-repair ability. Because of the Cardinal's persecution, evolution began even before the first air strike.

Rrrrgh!

Ferda grips her teeth as she senses that the plan has gone wrong.

After a while, he struggles to regain his composure, and straightaway talks to the realm.

“Silvan, bring me Tervand back. ”

“What's the matter? Is there a problem? ”

We got a big problem. Maybe Akasha will use the Divine Power.

Ferda nods and replies.

“We have to change our troops. We don't stand a chance. ”

“Okay, I get it. I'll call you right back.”

Was it the look on his face? In reality, the enchantment proceeded straight away.

A second emergency meeting was held in the white paper.

Ten days from now.

Numerous numbers of fruits poured down across the continent like rain.

It was a white fruit, completely different from the original.
