Count Scribe's Tutor

Chapter. 65

Beginning of Counter

The battle for the fortress ended quickly.

It was the union of Von Wyvern, a servant of the realm. And the Wyvern was leading the fight, so there were few casualties. I'd lost at most a hundred undead.

The bones are white as a sheet of paper.

The fact that he was touching it slightly frowned.

“Well, they can't be revived. ”

“It was by divine power. ”

Isha sighs.

He looked familiar as if he had often seen this situation. After a while, Isha picks up a bone and adds an explanation.

“Look at this. The Qi has been cleansed, right? It's going to be difficult to bring back the Lord. ”

“Yes, the magic array is all broken. ”

You nod as if you agree.

A moment later, he shrugs.

“I can't help it. We'll have to recycle it another way. ”

“· · · · · · · Yes? ”

No, you just said the horsepower array was broken.

But how do you recycle it? Isha opens her eyes wide.

Around that time, reality allowed the other undead to gather bones. Soon after, I put all the bones together and drew a blue magic circle on top of them.

It was a magical coven of ice attributes.

Quadruck! Quadruck!

Frozen bones in an instant.

But it wasn't just freezing. Looking closely, it looks like a similar armor. The reality then collects the rolling stones together and gives them a sonic magical power.

“No way. ”

Isha's eyes are filled with the light of surprise.

In turn, the stone is placed inside the frozen bones and haunted by the forest keeper's bosom. After engraving a few more enchantments, the reality takes a step back.

“Get up and move. ”

I'm afraid of the end of the sentence.

Grouch!

The frozen bones start to move.

It was a somewhat unnatural movement at first, but the issue was resolved over time.

Undead resurrected as living armor in an instant.

Isha's face was blue when she saw it.

“Oh, my God. How did this happen? ”

Send the Purified Body back to the Undead? That's ridiculous. As long as the corpse has the power of divinity, the deceit will not reignite itself.

But in reality, he did it as if to look.

It was because he gave morale to the ‘ice’ that covered him, not the cleansed bones.

It looked easy at first glance, but it was definitely not. No, it was impossible. I didn't even notice how it was applied.

So Isha was frightened.

“What the hell did you do? ”

I closed my eyes and asked.

Then, the reality was confusing.

“Huh? I just did what Isha told me. ”

“I never taught you that. ”

I felt like I was losing strength. But even then, as reality began to explain, Isha's eyes once again gleamed brightly.

Meanwhile, Hale trembles.

The whole body trembled at the beginning and end of the battle.

‘If this is really... ’

He might be able to save the territory.

The fire of hope spread rapidly. The moment a light smile appeared on my mouth.

“Hale Hark. ”

“Yes, four!? ”

I was furious with the sudden call.

I thought you said you weren't going to be surprised.

Ferda smiles silently. Then I got straight to the point.

“How far is it from nature? ”

“We should be arriving in about three hours! ”

That's about the time of dawn.

Ferda, who measured her time, turns away without hesitation.

“Okay, then let's go again. ”

It's not that loud, but the truth quickly nods.

Shortly after, the army of the dead resumed marching.

* * *

Same time.

The office of the White Writing sank into a calm darkness.

It's 3: 00 a.m.

It was time for everyone to fall asleep, but some did not. That was typical of Robert, the interim lord.

The reason I still haven't slept was simple.

About thirty minutes ago, we heard from the city. At first, I thought he was the Duke of Setier, so I responded coldly. But the person who contacted him was very unexpected.

· · · · · · · This is the maximum condition I can propose.

A young man with golden hair compared to a crystal ball.

He was a man who looked just like Robert. He bluntly continues speaking with an unchanging look on his face.

Then I expect a wise judgment, Robert.

The last thing the young man's face disappeared everywhere.

It was due to a loss of communication. Robert leans against his backrest without a word. Suddenly, there was a fracture on his tired face.

“Haha, I guess. ”

A smile appeared on my mouth. It was a dry smile like the land of drought.

He mutters, staring at the transparent crystal sphere.

“I think he was pretty desperate. ”

The protagonist of sudden contact is the First Prince of the Kingdom.

Callian Gil Laderon.

Meanwhile, shortly after the muttering stopped, the person hiding behind the curtain came out. It was June Harga, Robert's knight. He also looked at the first prince beyond the crystal sphere.

“You look very shabby. ”

“It's worth it. I heard that the majority of the families following you have suffered a great deal because of this incident. ”

It is said that some families are already extinct. Normal Robert would have mourned the pain the people would have suffered, but now he is different.

“Hehe, isn't this fun? I never thought a man who despised me so much would lend me a helping hand. ”

Robert's eyes flash cold.

The first prince contacted him to turn Robert in. To be precise, the archduke is the objective.

“With all due respect, Your Majesty, what do you think? ”

At that time, Joon asked carefully.

Of course, the answer would be fixed, but I was wondering. After a while, an unexpected answer returned.

“Of course I want to support you. ”

“Yes? Ha, but if so · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Joon looks embarrassed.

Following the First Prince means breaking your promise to the true world. Looking at June like that, Robert smiles deeply.

“Don't worry. I'm just doing what Lord Ferda says. ”

“What does that mean · · · · · · ·? ”

“He's a great guy, really. I can't believe this is happening, and I can't believe you predicted this would happen again. ”

Robert's eyes glow with admiration.

“I wish I could be my own man, but that's not the way friends work. Ser Ferda is a man of action. ”

He tasted it as if it were a pity.

One interesting thing was that, unlike the answer, the eyes rose with intense heat.

Meanwhile, Joon gazes at Robert with his mouth closed. Like you have something to say. After a moment, he looks down and opens his mouth.

“· · · · · · · Actually, I don't know. ”

“Hmm? What do you mean, you don't know? What do you mean?”

“How long can I trust Lord Ferda?" ”

On a sudden subject, Robert looked curious.

Then Joon continued to speak with a solemn face.

“It doesn't matter if the interests are mutual now, but there is no guarantee that the relationship will be the same after a while. ”

Ferda offered Robert a deal.

Rather than cooperate in seating him on the throne, I ask that you acknowledge Earl Archdute as an independent territory. And by Robert's acceptance, they built a temporary alliance system.

But what if everything goes well and the deal goes through?

You think Ferda's gonna be a good friend after that? This is what Joon wanted to say.

“I trust Lord Ferda. ”

That's when Robert's answer returned.

Then Joon bites his lips tightly.

He said this to alert Robert. Joon seems to have fallen in love with Ferda.

‘There are no permanent allies in the world. ’

Therefore, it is best to keep a reasonable distance.

Ferda was someone else, someone from Silvan Archdut. So Joon opened his mouth again and expressed his thoughts.

“But, sire. Ser Ferda is a dangerous creature for a purpose, with no obstacles to means or means. Believing in such things is unconscionable. ”

The moment I kept talking.

Robert grabs Joon by the hand. Then I raised my thumb and put a fingernail print on the back of my hand. Twice at short intervals. Noticing this, Joon opened his eyes for a moment.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

This was some kind of signal.

When I was young, I was dragged to the castle. Robert was under all kinds of conspiracy and assassination threats, a signal that only his knights were aware of.

And what this meant was:

‘I am being watched by someone. ’

Robert and June are currently in a white-written bedroom.

Not many people could keep an eye on them in places like this. And while we were talking about Ferda, did you see any signs like this?

If so, the identity of the Watcher is narrowed.

‘· · · · · · · · bundle of concrete arcuits. ’

Suddenly, I felt creepy.

No, how did Robert figure it out before that?

In June's head, all sorts of questions swirled. He continued to speculate on the exact identity of the Watcher. Soon after, the answer came out.

‘Latterbands.’

Desert hero and master of the Dead Knights.

If it were Tervand, it would be possible to keep an eye on Juni, who is obviously the best. Joon swallows his thirsty saliva.

That's when Robert popped his lip.

‘Keep your conversation casual. ’

After understanding this, Joon closed his eyes twice and opened his eyes. Robert continues the conversation as if nothing had happened.

“No, it's more reliable because it is. ”

“· · · · · · Is that so? ”

“Yes. And I need both of your help. Anyway, thanks to Sir Silvana and Sir Ferda, we're here now. ”

Robert grins.

Then I grabbed Joon's hand once again.

“So let's not have this conversation. ”

“Very well, if you will it." ”

Joon bows his head with his fist clenched.

However, unlike the answer, his eyes were burning fiercely.

And the time of day.

At the top of the white paper, I saw a fiercely blazing glare. The owner of the light was right, according to Joon's guess. He tilts his head as he no longer hears Robert and June's conversation.

“Hmm, something's fishy. ”

In fact, there was nothing suspicious about the conversation alone. The only thing that bothers me is that there was a temporary silence in the middle.

It was the only thing.

“It's a little different than usual again. ”

Since becoming an undead.

It was possible for Tervand to feel human emotions in detail.

And the last feeling he felt in the room was intense anger. It was an emotion that did not match the conversation.

As he pondered for a moment, he made his decision.

“Perhaps I should report to the king. ”

Tervand rises from his seat.

Shortly after, he vanishes, melting into the darkness.

As if they never existed here in the first place.
