Count Scribe's Tutor

About two days after that.

Subsequent talks were held to discuss countermeasures for air raids. Most attendees were the same as two days ago, but did not attend the Grand Chamberlain of Recalton himself. For preparing for wall repairs and combat.

Is it because there are no intruders? The conference flows seamlessly.

Shortly after, Duke Setier's lips darken.

End of story.

The meeting, which started early in the morning as a signal, ended.

The duc shut his mouth for a moment and looked at the nobles one by one without saying a word. Earl Shrungen, Earl Morco, and even Ferda.

He makes eye contact with all of them and smiles at the stars.

By the way, I just got a good drink.

You mean the booze?

The Earl tilts his head in a sudden conversation.

Soon the duc's words continued.

This drink was given to me by a friend of Jerome. It's called Tear of Eranode.

· · · · · ·! Y-you sure about that?

Amazing. I didn't know that liquor was still there.

Two nobles who burst into awe with their eyes wide open,

Ferda, on the other hand, looks puzzled. Of course, it was a drink that was never mentioned in the novel.

‘Based on your reaction, that sounds like a hard drink to get. ’

I wasn't interested in alcohol anyway because I didn't enjoy it very much.

When he nods roughly like that, Duke Setier speaks.

When this war is over, I will invite everyone here. There's plenty of sheep. Let's drink together until your nose is crooked.

The booze of Eranode is worth training for. We'll be on our way!

Earl Morco exclaims excitedly.

I was so excited that I woke up from my seat. Later, Earl Shrungen suddenly stared at Ferda.

Hmm, but isn't it too early for Confucius Archdude?

You're right. You've been treated like a saint in the kingdom since you were 16.

But I didn't think that was the intention of the erl. Maybe he's trying to cut down on one of his precious alcoholic rivals.

"How precious is this liquor? ’

By now, I was interested, even if I wasn't interested in alcohol.

When Ferda blinks, Earl Morco suddenly snaps in.

Then I'll drink to the Prince's share!

Look, that's what I was trying to say.

In the appearance of a strong opponent, the Grand Master stopped him with a sticky face.

I never thought one drink would change the mood like this. While watching this scene as if it were fun, Duke Setier smiled softly.

Haha, so see you all again.

There was a smile on my wrinkled mouth.

Suddenly, his face became solemnly stiff.

I don't want to sprinkle this precious liquor on the grave.

As soon as the duc's words are finished, everyone shuts up.

It was because I suddenly realized why I was talking about alcohol. The two nobles' faces have a distinctive glow.

Let's meet alive. Well, good luck to you all.

This conversation ended with a sincere goodbye.

The wall that lit up the nobles' faces returned to normal. Then Isha, standing behind her back, sighed. It was a sigh of relief.

“Thankfully, this day is over. ”

“There was no awkward one. ”

You don't have to tell me who it is.

Ferda takes off her mask when she gets up from her seat. Then he looked out the window and said again.

“Are the facts still in the sewers? ”

“Yes. You said the research was coming to an end. ”

Turns out he's building something out of every dead soul.

I nodded as if I knew. Then the question came back from Isha this time.

“If you ask me what the research is, you won't tell me. Do you know what it is? ”

“I only know it's a study with the soul. ”

That's all Ferda knew.

But it didn't seem like the answer I was looking for. Then let's see you sigh as if you were. At that moment, I shrugged my shoulders.

“Don't you have to answer the call? ”

“Huh? The summons? ”

“What Earl Keshmif said. ”

Unlike two days ago, Earl Keshmif has gained a significant say today.

To discuss where and how to dispatch the wizards of the tower. The erl first summoned all the wizards across the kingdom. As the situation is, even the wizards who are hiding were no exception.

Then Isha is included as well.

“Oh, that? You don't have to go. I already told you.”

Isha, on the other hand, waves as if she were fine.

Then it's a relief. Ferda nods straight away.

It was then.

“Huh?"

Suddenly, I found a stranger outside the window.

I approached the window as there was no way I could be here right now. I wanted to make sure it was wrong or not. After a while, you see someone standing in the garden of nature, and your eyes open wide.

“· · · · · · · Heron? ”

Why is he here?

I still have a day left to get to the border. When I was curious, I met Heron outside the window. He looked like he had something to say.

Ferda immediately turns around and leaves the room.

The capital of Cereheim, Eluhim.

Unlike other countries, the city itself is called a giant fortress. The reason was simple: it was originally designed as a capital city.

Among them, the South Gate was famous for its poisonous walls.

No, in fact, it was just the way down, so it was just the way it looked high. Thanks to this, the southern wall of Eluhim is nicknamed White Cliff.

Now, the White Cliff, which was Sererheim's pride, is halfway down. In this grim scene, the nameless Cardinal's companion is silent.

“This is · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“It's worse than I thought. ”

After the monk Cedric, the Sanctuary's face hardens.

Then the debris collapses in both eyes. There are dark red traces of debris along with the soil. It was definitely a blood trail.

“I expected to see the collapse of Rondheim somewhat, but · · · · · · · · ·. ”

The way back to Sererheim.

A group of nameless Cardinals confronts a shocking scene. The fortress and fortress that the Holy Nation boasted about were trampled on by monsters. Among them was Rondheim, the largest fortress in the Holy Land.

“· · · · · Still, I didn't think Eluhim would be attacked. ”

Cedric bites his lips tightly.

It was so hard that a drop of blood appeared on my chapped lips. It's that big of a shock. At that time, the Cardinal, who was looking at the collapsed wall, hit the ground.

“I'll make sure the sanctuary is safe. ”

Mechanical speech as usual. However, there was a strange bewildering look. It was evidence that the cardinal's gait was very fast.

“Chu, Your Eminence! Come with me!”

Idella and Cedric hurriedly pursue the Cardinal.

After walking for a long time, the Cardinal suddenly stopped walking. Thanks to her, the two who followed her could barely keep the streets down. Soon they realized why the cardinal stopped walking.

“Oh! You're back, Master. ”

A white-haired knight in silver armor.

He was Eloden, Sererheim's greatest paladin. At the same time, he was also the chief disciple who had been taught by the Cardinal Nameless.

Meanwhile, the Cardinal looked at him and immediately opened his mouth.

“Eloden, what happened to the sanctuary? ”

“Haha, what are you worried about when I'm here? Rest assured, we didn't bring an ant into the sanctuary. ”

The Cardinal looked a little better when he came back with a confident answer.

She lowers her head gently.

“That's right. Thank you. ”

“To be thankful. It's my duty as Paladin. ”

Eloden patted his beard and laughed.

Then the Cardinal asked a new question.

“But what happened to the South Gate? Was there a battle here, too? ”

As soon as the cardinal's words are finished, Cedric and Idella's eyes flash.

It was because they were the most curious. On the other hand, Eloden nods slightly stiff.

“Yes. Three days ago, there was a pretty big battle. ”

I rubbed his lips and something happened back then.

The number of monsters that have broken through Rondheim is at least thousands. But by the time I got to Eluhim, their numbers were close to the job. It was because they raided the middle-class villagers and cities.

The crisis of incision. But you risked your life to keep them close. Though the walls have fallen in half.

“I see. Well done, Eloden. ”

At the end of all the stories, the Cardinal nodded as if he understood.

Eloden bows quietly. Then suddenly, he said with a light smile.

“It was a tough fight, but I was happy. ”

What are you talking about?

Cedric and Idella look suspicious. Even the Cardinal, who was expressionless, tilted his head. Faced with those three, Eloden spoke.

“This is proof of your passing the test and a sign of glory. ”

I smiled with a proud smile on my wrinkled mouth.

However, Idella still doesn't understand.

“Yes? What test? ”

“Fragments of God's doom. ”

Eloden mentioned a story we had discussed earlier.

After a while, after all the explanations, Cedric and Idella were trembling. The two responded with cautious protests.

“We certainly used divine power, but · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Isn't that too much of an assumption? ”

“It is written in the Bible. It can't be a guess. ”

Eloden shakes her head.

Then he spoke with an unsuspecting face.

“It is also agreed by the Holy Father. So don't be suspicious. ”

The two of them closed their mouths.

I was somewhat uncomfortable, but I couldn't help but be mentioned by the Holy Father.

Meanwhile, Eloden, who had easily cut off the root of the objection, suddenly looked back at Cardinal. It's because I was concerned about staying quiet earlier. Then Eloden saw the cardinal's face and twitched her eyebrows.

“What's the matter, Master? You don't look so good. ”

Suddenly, he was expressionless, but Eloden could tell.

The Cardinal has a somewhat dark look on his face. Then the cardinal opened his mouth, looking toward the southern sky.

“It's nothing. I just feel a little anxious. ”

“Anxiety? Hahaha! This is going to be a long life. I never thought I'd see you joking. ”

I rub Eloden's lips and burst out.

However, His Eminence's gaze was still fixed in the southern sky. More precisely, it was in the direction of the desert.

‘What the hell? ’

The expression of anxiety was not enough.

My heart became frustrated and my blood seemed to cool down. Soon, I felt something that I had never felt before. It was a feeling of fear.

A long time after that.

The cardinal could not take his eyes off the sky.
