Count Scribe's Tutor

The destination was quite far.

I had to go all day on horseback.

But there was no need to worry. Ferda had a very convenient mode of transportation under the condition that everything was covered in darkness.

“Phew, I only look when it's like this. ”

The Night Spirit grumbles in his legs.

But I didn't dislike it that much. After I used my abilities, I always shared my magic. Soon after that night, Ferda and Kalman quickly narrowed their destination and distance.

About an hour after that.

By the time the troubled moon rose in the dark blue night sky, the two arrived at their destination.

A shabby neighborhood that feels almost unpopular. As I was about to move my feet, my silent legs opened their mouths.

“Can I go back now? ”

“Wait. We should contact Tervand when the work is done." ”

Ferda replies bluntly.

Suddenly, he nodded softly.

“Sure. There's nothing to do anyway. ”

In a bridge on Ferda's shoulder with a powerful flap of wings.

The group goes straight into the village. At first, it was less popular, but as I got closer to the center, I felt a number of reflexes.

I was walking quietly.

Shhh!

You hear the sound of a sword being drawn from the starry stables.

Then three knights came out of nowhere.

They surround the area in an instant. You can see the light of a strong boundary beyond your tired face.

But after a while, the knights' firm expressions soon loosened.

It's a relief that the sudden visitor isn't a monster.

“What's all the commotion? ”

Then, the door of the hut behind the knights creaks open.

A middle-aged man with hot brown hair who appeared immediately.

You look like a nobleman, dressed in luxurious silk. On the other hand, he shouts in surprise, as if he had found Ferda and Kalman.

“Come on, you guys! Did Hark and Birch send you? ”

I have strong expectations in the eyes of the man.

But Ferda doesn't answer. When he is silent, Kalman nods his head. And did they see this as a positive thing? The man's face soon turned red.

“Hahahaha! Yes! There's no way he won't help me. Yes, of course! ”

A cool smile bursts out from his lips. I felt relieved as my hard expression cleared. The vigilance of the knights surrounding the area has loosened naturally.

Ferda's eyes, on the other hand, grew colder and colder.

Because the man in front of him was the target he was looking for, Dylan.

After resolving all issues with Hark and the territory in the future.

Ferda makes a plan to march straight into the Dylan order. After wiping out all of the Akashas, the primary objective was to slowly turn the territory into a dead land.

Once you achieve your primary objective, you will eat well from now on.

It was enough to cleanse the land and take it naturally.

However, there were essential conditions for this plan.

‘Dylan should not be alive. ’

To be precise, there should be no survivors from House Dylan.

That way you won't have to go behind my back to take the land in the future.

‘We'll take care of everything here. ’

Ferda's eyes light up for a moment.

Meanwhile, whether you know his insides or not, Count Dylan was pretty excited. He turns around and shouts, "Open the door of the hut."

“Rest assured, everyone. Heron, my friend, has come to help me! ”

Not long after his own cry ended.

The people inside the hut are slipping out. Two young men and girls, two middle-aged women and an old man. Looks like Dylan's family.

“Come, take me to the castle. If we get to the castle safely, the First Prince will reward us greatly. ”

Bird Dylan shouts in joy.

However, the reaction did not return. Ferda and Kalman are just standing guard like statues. Then his family grumbles.

“What are you doing? Don't show me the way. ”

“Where's the wagon? ”

“You're not gonna make us walk, are you? ”

Still, Ferda was silent.

Did it make him uncomfortable when the answer didn't come back? The little one frowns.

“Hey, you. Are you mute? Say something. ”

“Three in the hut, six in the backyard, four at the end of the ceiling. ”

At that moment, my lips were tightly closed.

In an instant, he sees all the people and smiles coldly.

“Twenty-two. ”

“What?"

“What are you saying right now? ”

Several families stepped forward.

But I couldn't take another step.

Whoo-hoo!

The wind rises. The wind is filled with a strange smell.

Immediately, a little red bud formed around her neck. Soon after the buds bloomed, his head fell to the floor like a ripe fruit.

Degur!

The fountain of blood gushed from the cross section, drenching it everywhere.

The moment the torso that lost its head stumbled and fell. The first thing I noticed was the knights. They swiftly fix the sword, their eyes wide open.

“Gong, Gong Gong! Knng!”

“Glug glug!”

But even they couldn't handle it like this.

It was because Kalman stepped behind his back and put a dagger in his neck. After taking care of the three knights in a flash, Kalman turns around and heads to the back of the hut.

“What, what!? Cough!”

“Raid! Raid! Aaaaah!”

You hear a scream from where Kalman was headed.

Did he just figure it out? Dylan hurries away. Then, leaving his family behind, he started running towards the forest.

Naturally, it was a pointless act.

Qajik!

Ferda's stone twists Dylan's ankle. The strong-running cockroach rolls along the slope with a single scream. After stopping him from running away, I ended the lives of the rest of my family.

You hear no screams. I didn't even give it a chance.

“Shhh! Ahhhh! My foot, my foot! ”

Bird Dylan howling in agony down the slopes.

Ferda approaches his nose with an indifferent face. He shouts in fear.

“What is wrong with you?! Why?! ”

However, the answer never came back again.

Instead, a sharp scepter pierces through his chest.

Puck!

“ · · · · · ·! ”

A face twisted with pain.

I whispered as I looked at the redder and redder eyes.

“If you're alive, things will get annoying. ”

“Huff! Huff! ”

“So die quietly. ”

I twisted my neck with a cold word.

My wobbly body quickly subsided. As soon as the bird sags, Ferda abandons him. You can leave the rest of the hut to Kalman.

Ferda, the judge, opens her mouth.

“Darian, contact Tervand. ”

The moment I was about to take on business.

Whoo-hoo!

I felt a vibration in my arms. It was an emergency crystal ball.

Who is it? I don't think there's anyone to call.

I tapped the crystal ball with my eyes narrowed. But that too, for a moment, put magical power into the crystal ball. Then, beyond the crystal sphere, a figure's face flashed.

A middle-aged man with gray hair.

As soon as he found Ferda, his face lit up.

I'm sorry to bother you. You got a minute?

It was the Duke of Setia.

Ferda nods softly, and his words continue.

I heard it from a confessor. You're running a solo operation?

He did not tell the real world where he was going.

It seemed to be surrounded like this. Ferda nods again, not to be mistaken.

“Yes, we are dealing with monsters in Hark and North. ”

Well done.Is there anything I can do to help?

“It's enough on its own. ”

Hahaha! You're so trustworthy.

Was it because I liked Ferda's answer?

The duc bursts into a cool smile. But for a moment, the Duke's gaze sank momentarily into darkness.

By the way, are you aware of the situation with Count Dylan?

I know it better than anyone, of course.

Dylan's body is rolling underneath his feet right now. However, the field of view seen through the crystal sphere is only half the size. That's why Ferda replied with a deep face.

“I only know it's not good enough. ”

Whew, actually, the report arrived this evening. It seemed like they had taken their nature away from them. And this is the last piece of news from the Prince himself.

The duc sighs and smiles.

Shortly after, the duc spoke with a stiff face.

That's why I'm dispatching reinforcements from the castle.

“The reinforcements? ”

As soon as I finished saying that, my face became stiff.

As soon as reinforcements arrive, everything he has planned will fail. So, of course, your face gets stiff. Knowing or not, the duc replied with a serious face.

Yes. The impeachment of Dylan's order means the central region, which has just begun to recover, will be a battlefield again.

The Duke of Dylan is a passageway between the south and the middle.

Duke Setier's concerns were never inclined. But I can't let him snore in his finished rice. Ferda pretends to think for a moment and shakes her head.

“No, you don't have to. ”

Huh? What are you talking about?

“We'll take care of the problem with the Count. ”

· · · · · ·!

The duc opens his eyes wide.

Like I never even heard the answer. A moment later, he asked with a face.

Th-that's true?!

“Yes, the Lord has already agreed. ”

Ferda knows the plan.

So it's not a lie. Meanwhile, the duc said as though he was impressed.

Thank you. The royal burden is reduced thanks to you and your compatriots. Hehe, I knew I saw someone properly.

The duc's mouth is filled with a smile.

Around that time, the moon was covered by clouds. At the same time, the silver moonlight drenched Ferda's surroundings. Did he find anything strange? The duc suddenly made a curious face.

Hmm? But what's with the blood on your face?

Blood on it? You wipe your cheeks off reflexively. It appears to have been buried while processing Dylan's manuscript. But instead of embarrassing Ferda, she looks indifferent.

“I think I buried it while I was dealing with the infected. Never mind. ”

I see. Phew, we need to find the antidote quickly.

The Duke's face is once again darkened by the word "infected."

After a few minutes, they exchanged stories about the situation. Just before the magic in the crystal ball ran out, the duc opened his mouth as if he had remembered something he had forgotten.

Oh, and I spoke to the Achilles' heel, but the conference is in three days' time. Of course, it will be held remotely under the stewardship of the Horse Tower, so don't worry.

“What kind of meeting? ”

Obviously. It's a place to report damage and discuss future measures.

The duc spoke with little effort, but it was an important position for Ferda.

Because it was a place where you could publicly drive the Holy Land.

Earl Archdut will be representing the South. Just so you know,

I also heard the good news about being elected Southern Representative.

This gives us a lot of right to speak. Ferda tries to block the tail of her mouth from ascending to the temple. Then I just lowered my head silently.

I'll see you in three days.

At the end of the Duke's greeting, the crystal sphere recovered its original color.

In a forest that has turned silent in an instant. Then I heard someone's voice.

“Are we done here? ”

It was a voice in the bridge.

I nodded without a word, and my leg asked me again.

“So what do I tell Tervand? ”

It's time to get back to business.

Ferda gazes at the direction of the Count Dylan. Immediately, I rubbed my dry lips and heard a dry voice.

“We're ready. Advance north with the Bone Dragon. ”

“Yeah, I get it. I'll be right back!”

With a refreshing answer, I hid myself in my legs.

Ferda, who was left alone, quickly drains the blood from the scaffolding. Then he grabs Dylan's head and throws it to the ground.

Then I headed to the place where the hut was.

“Boss, I've cleared all the leftovers. ”

Suddenly, Kalman kneels before Ferda.

Then you grabbed the corpse's head naturally. Ferda asked again in an unconscious tone.

“Body?”

“I put them all in one place. ”

You nod your head in response.

After a while, a raging flame blazes through the shabby village.

There was not even a single bone powder left.
