Count Scribe's Tutor

Chapter. 67

Birth of a hero

Earl Lekelton, Northern Laderone.

This area is currently in the midst of disaster recovery. You muster your soldiers and laborers, rebuilding the fallen walls and repairing the half-broken gates.

Not only that. A few days ago, the wizards officially dispatched from the tower did everything they could to help with the repairs.

“Hey! Don't slow down. ”

“Hurry up and move! ”

“We must finish the job within the day! ”

The work continued even after it was late at night.

The reason was simple. A second wave of air strikes was imminent. Until then, we need to be as thorough as possible in order to survive.

That's why this time, with the exception of the knights were mobilized to work.

Of course, they were not directly involved in repairs like other soldiers or workers. At best, I was in charge of the management. Nevertheless, it seemed unpleasant for the knights to be mobilized in this matter.

“This is all I've done since morning? ”

“At this rate, they'll attack first! Can't you hurry?! ”

So, their complaints and anger returned to the soldiers and workers.

The moment the work continued in a harsh atmosphere.

“Huff! Huff! ”

Was it the hard work?

A young worker with a hatched face breathed a harsh breath. The young man who was sweating constantly stumbled and fell to the ground.

Bang, bang, bang!

The equipment on your back is pouring out.

“Ouch!”

“What, what? ”

Other workers nearby turn their heads.

At that time, some people seemed to know the young man.

“Jane!"

“Jay, Jane's down! ”

The young man, Jane, fell to the ground and sighed.

I feel like I'm going to die soon. Could it have been something serious? A supervising knight approaches Jane. Then I frowned.

“Tsk! I don't think I can work. ”

It was too bad even if it was not good.

A knight with a tongue stares at two strong workers nearby.

“You two! Load him up and move him to the barracks. ”

Once instructed, the knight turns away. No, I tried to.

Strangely, the workers didn't move. You're not going to follow orders? The knight cries out again with a crooked face.

“Can't you hear me? Can't you move faster?! ”

This was your last warning. I thought I'd draw my sword and swing it if I didn't follow orders. Nevertheless, the workers were a floating point.

“These things are real! ”

The knight's face is red.

As I was about to draw my sword, the knight felt something strange. It was that the workers' faces turned white.

Then a scream erupted from their mouths.

“Ugh! ”

“Hey, Knight! ”

“Back! Behind you! ”

Laborers stepping back in a daze.

The knight, on the other hand, was frantic. Look behind you? I didn't even have to look. The only thing behind him is a breathless, lying laborer on the floor.

But in that moment,

A familiar sound tapped my ear.

[44601; 44601; 44601; 44601;.]

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Sounds familiar, but should never be heard.

The knight opens his eyes and draws his reflective sword. And I swing it around without looking back. Unfortunately, the attack was not a hit.

Ka 'ang!

I feel like I'm getting rid of iron.

Immediately, something solid tightens the knight's neck.

“Huff! Huff! ”

I couldn't breathe.

The knight struggles with the feeling of blood rushing to his face.

Immediately, the attacker's identity flashes into his eyes. A monster covered in hard bark. About two weeks ago, it was the same monster that made the north a living hell.

“Uh, how. Tsk!”

At that time, I continued to talk in a panic.

Wood Duck!

The knight's neck is snapped with a eerie sound. The monster who killed the article in a flash began to act completely different from those who had been seen before.

Kwaek! Kwack!

I began to chew the flesh of the knight with ease. The half-eaten knight quickly turned to look for a new sacrifice. And half the corpses began to be covered with bark as they always have been.

[44601; 44601; 44601; 44601; 44601;.]

A new monster was born with a strange cry.

An ordinary human being suddenly turned into a monster.

This was not just a phenomenon in the north of the kingdom. It was a simultaneous phenomenon across the continent, including Jerome the Mountain Kingdom and Serrahim the Holy Country.

The second disaster struck the world without incident.

* * *

This sudden phenomenon was inevitable even for Earl Archdute.

But compared to other places, it was much better. Unlike where people congregate in tight spaces, the Earl was divided widely. Plus, there were undead stationed all over the place.

Because of that? The erl handled the defect faster than anyone else.

Ferda, sitting in the Oval Office, gazed silently at the air. To be precise, I looked up at the system window in the air.

[number remaining]: 751

* Detection Range: (Earl Archdut)

It was to confirm the number of Akashas that existed in the Earl's current order.

Ferda, who checks on this from time to time, sighs of relief.

‘Now the rise has stopped. ’

I was surprised when the first defect occurred.

It was because the number that was always marked as 0 suddenly jumped to 400.

Since then, the number of Akashas has risen at a terrifying speed. Ferda, who instinctively noticed that a defect had occurred, immediately began to deal with it.

And about half a day later. I was able to stop the rise.

‘Why in the world would this happen? ’

Suspicions began as I felt relaxed in my hasty mind.

I've never done anything like this before. Ferda narrowed her eyes and came up with various hypotheses.

Does it have anything to do with the giant eye Heron saw? ’

Or is it because we've evolved so much in such a short period of time? As extraordinary assumptions dominated the mind, the door of the Oval Office suddenly opened.

“Spores!”

It was Shantam who later revealed his appearance.

Shantam exhales like a rush. After taking a short breath, he continues to speak with a somewhat pale face.

“Depending on the situation, there is an ambush in the spores. ”

“An ambush?”

“Yes. When a large wound is inflicted on them, the spores begin their activities immediately. As Ferda knows, it won't be long before she turns into Acacia. ”

I've heard before about how infections work.

By the time I nodded, Shantam continued.

“But if you get a wound so small that you don't even notice it, the spores don't act immediately. It starts very, very slowly, interfering with any injuries. That's why this happened! ”

Furthermore, Shantam has just discovered this.

Seeing the pale bored face, I didn't think it was really like that. Instead, he noted the current situation.

“The answer is · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Similar things are likely to happen across continents. ”

Shantam replied with a stiff face.

If this is happening through a scar so small that you really don't notice, it's not just the Earl himself.

If so, the situation becomes very serious.

Ferda's face hardens, and a large owl suddenly rises from the ground. It was in the bridge, a network that was busy in each area.

“Rodenhag said he took care of all the borders. ”

In the news, Ferda and Shantam sigh of relief.

because the place I was most worried about was near the border. But you said you handled it well, so I'm sure you'll be relieved.

“But he saw a strange sight. ”

“Bizarre sights? ”

“Yes, I heard that monster ate part of the human body. ”

“Excuse me?”

Ferda asked with a surprised face.

Then Shantam quickly denied it.

“No way! I've dissected dozens of them so far, but they deserve to be called digestive organs · · · · · ·. Ah!”

Shantam, who was speeding along like a rapid fire, suddenly gave a brief admiration. Like I realized something. Ferda, on the other hand, groaned a little, thinking the same thing.

“It's likely · · · · · · · · has evolved again. ”

Akasha's evolution has endless possibilities.

It is only when we see that we use the sacred power that is only given to the members of the Holy Nation. Now, even if I had the ability to eat something, it was nothing strange.

“Ha, but there's a reason to eat humans. ”

Current Akashas can use Divine Power.

No matter how much you get hurt, you can only recover to Divine Power. This means that eating human beings is not about restoring their health. Then why do they eat humans?

Unlike Shantam, who was overwhelmed by such doubts, Ferda had a grave reaction.

“We'll have to find out for ourselves. ”

Now is not the time to sit around and speculate.

I had to fix the erl quickly and help the other lands. Maybe more victims than the first air strike.

“Are the facts still in the underground tunnels? ”

“Yes, he's still obsessed with his research. ”

I haven't seen him in five days.

I haven't seen him since we started talking. Ferda gets up from her seat shortly thinking about it. Then he turned to Shantam and spoke.

“I can't help it. I'll go meet him in person. ”

Research was also important, but it was much more important to resolve the situation now.

So if you can convince him yourself, we can bring him in. When Ferda was about to make her move, I heard the voice of the person who had just been the topic of conversation.

“You don't have to do that. I just got out.”

The owner of a dry voice is no different.

But I was quite surprised where I heard his voice. because it was floating in a windowsill. Shantam was surprised to learn this later.

“Sir?! Uh, how do you get into the air? ”

“The research was successful. ”

In reality, he reacted in a non-trivial manner.

Immediately, an explanation of what research was done was followed. All sorts of magical explanations appeared, but sadly, Ferda was not profoundly crafted by magic.

“Well, in a nutshell, ”

Ferda quickly clears her mind with her eyes closed.

After a while, the practical explanation was compressed into one word.

“You mean to tell me that all the souls of death have been turned into ghosts? ”

“· · · · · · · It's not just a ghost. ”

Is it because it's too simple compared to what I've worked so hard to explain?

In fact, his expressionless face turned somewhat fatter.

“I turned him into a demon of the same caliber as Kwain. Well, technically, you'd better call it the Phantom Dragon. ”

Ghosts and demons were the same thing that Ferda couldn't see anyway.

That's why it looks like it's floating in the air.

“And the crying was unusual, so I named her Aang. ”

What's unusual is your distinctive desperate naming sense.

Suddenly, I felt a peculiar feeling of hypocrisy as I burst into a carnival smile.

It felt like his expression and speech had changed somewhat. Only then did Ferda realize the state of things was different.

“Wait, wait, wait. Your eyes. ”

The eyes that were bitten with a subtle, sparkly glow.

It was a natural appearance that only appeared when the eyes of the Holy Spirit and the Moon were taken off.

“Oh, this? I took my clothes off for research. I'll use it right away.”

In his arms, he pulled out the moon's eyes. Ferda snatches his teeth while he's about to be hanged. The sudden act made a curious face.

“Why?”

“You can stay put. ”

“But if you take this off, you will find yourself in the Holy Land. ”

“It's okay now. ”

Ferda shakes her head.

Then he handed it to the practitioner.

“After today, you will be feared, not excluded. ”

It didn't matter if there were any variables.

That's all I had to do. I had a confident smile on my mouth. Meanwhile, the reality faced me was puzzled, but I nodded.

“Okay. If Ferda says so. ”

In reality, he holds a large hand in front of him.

Then he said with a light smile.

“I trust Ferda. ”

“Yes, just trust me. ”

I'm going to make this disaster an opportunity for you to become a hero.

The two priests smiled at each other.

When all the continents were covered in disaster.

As you curl up, the dragon spreads its wings, waiting for its time.
