Count Scribe's Tutor

Joon's screams are terrifying.

The room was filled with silence for a moment. After a while, Prague and Ferda opened their eyes without anyone having to look first.

“Excuse me?”

“Robert's going down? ”

Why all of a sudden? He was fine until yesterday.

Then something suddenly touched my mind.

‘Maybe just like last time. ’

Did you collapse while you were working? No, but Robert's current workload hasn't been that great. Most of them were shared with Ferda.

Then why the hell did he collapse?

Suddenly, I was guessing various reasons, and Joon's lips opened up trembling.

“Well, that's the thing. ”

The beginning of the case looked like this.

About half a day from now, Robert leaves the castle after finishing his work.

It wasn't anything special. It was just to see if the refugees were hungry or not. It was also a habitual behavior after the first air strike.

But then the problem arose.

It was a mutation across the continent. The unhealthy refugees suddenly turned into Akashas and started attacking the people around them. The same was true of Robert's shelter.

“· · · · · · So I escorted you out of the shelter. ”

Joon is an excellent Expert.

Keeping Robert safe was simple enough. There were no crystals in the shelter.

“Immediately after returning to the castle, your complexion was not good. At first I thought it was because I saw people turn into monsters, but as time went on, things got worse, and eventually · · · · · · · ”

I finished explaining with a trembling voice.

Shantam, who was listening to this, cautiously spoke.

“If the condition worsens after going to the shelter · · · · · · ·. ”

He was most likely infected by Akasha.

Ferda was the same idea. He may have suffered minor injuries while escaping the shelter that he didn't even know existed.

“Lead the way. I need to see for myself. ”

The infected had something in common.

Once the infection progressed to some extent, black spots bloomed like flowers around the wound. And there were other ways to identify the infected.

The glasses handed to me by the third author with an antidote.

Use this to assess the degree of infection by looking at the target. Normal people would not see infectivity, but infected people would.

Around that time, the group arrives in Robert's bedroom.

When the door opens, you see Robert lying at an angle. He either woke up while Joon was away, or he said with a light smile.

“What's going on? They come like this.”

“Your Majesty! Are you all right? ”

“Yes. I'm a little dizzy, but I'm not lying down. ”

Robert grins.

On the other hand, the other party says nothing. Especially Ferda, with her little glasses on, staring through Robert's face.

“Hmm? Did you put something on my face? ”

Was it because the obvious gaze was too burdensome?

Robert greets you with an awkward smile. However, Ferda did not look away. A moment later, he mutters with a stiff face.

“· · · · · · · Definitely infected. ”

“Yes?”

Jun was furious with the words that followed.

He protests with a face filled with disbelief.

“Now, don't you know that's wrong? You don't have any injuries. ”

Of course, that's what it looks like.

Ferda's glasses, however, also had the ability to detect the area of the wound, not just to check for infectivity. So it looked clear. Where Robert was hurt.

“Left eye. It doesn't look like it's been dusted. ”

At that point, the whole group looks at Robert's left eye.

When I looked closely, I saw something strange. Unlike the right eye, the left eye was somewhat dull. Then, Shantam was surprised to find something.

“A, the mark of the infected! ”

The reason my left eye was cloudy was because of the black spots.

The group's face stiffens as the flag begins to bloom like a flower. Meanwhile, even though he faced the shocking truth, Robert did not seem surprised.

“Hehe, I can't help your eyes. ”

Rather, I burst out a big smile.

Like you knew everything. Robert blinks a few times in his left eye. Then he smiled bitterly and muttered.

“Obfuscation was expected, actually. My eyes were sore as I was leaving the shelter. Maybe that's when something went in. ”

The pieces of the puzzle have finally been put together.

As we leave the shelter, the spores will enter the eyes and become infected.

Once it was confirmed that Robert was infected, Joon settles down as if he had collapsed. Then, I trembled with a face that was not pale and transparent.

“I, because I didn't protect him properly, he, so like this · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“No, it's not your fault. Don't blame yourself.”

Robert, halfway up, grabs Joon by the hand.

But Joon could not keep his heart. Of course I did. I failed to fulfill my duties as a guard knight. Robert, on the other hand, raises his head.

“I'm sorry, Silvan. I can't keep the promise I made to you. ”

The answer never came back.

Robert also turns to see if he wasn't expecting an answer.

“Ser Ferda, one last favor. ”

His face turns as hard as a stone.

It was a resolute expression.

“Take my breath away with your hand. ”

“ · · · · · ·! Oh, no. Your Majesty! "

Joon who was sitting quietly got up.

But Robert shakes his head as if he had already made up his mind.

“If I'm going to die anyway, I want to die as a human being. I trust you'll understand my request. ”

The reason for pointing out Ferda was simple.

He can take his breath away without hesitation. So Robert clenches his lips and bows his head.

“Now I'm ready. Come on. ”

“Don't talk nonsense, just take off your clothes. ”

But at that moment, I heard something from Ferda that I had not thought of.

Robert gives a blank expression with a sudden sound. Then Ferda shrugs.

“I'm going to use an antidote. ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

“Do you have the antidote?! ”

Robert and June's eyes widen.

No wonder I was surprised. Knowing the existence of the antidote was Ferda and Silas, and the four nobles who had attended the meeting the other day.

“I had four guns. Three of them were handed over to Duke Setier, and the last one was kept just in case. ”

The reason for the trick was to create a more dramatic situation.

Ferda's intentions worked exactly.

“But if it's the last antidote, ”

Robert notices. Of course. The most important thing for Ferda was the truth. Meanwhile, the reality of looking at Robert replied with a rather unorthodox face.

“I'm good. You can use it. ”

“Ha, but. ”

“It's okay. Ferda will protect you anyway. ”

Along with that, the real-life gaze turned this way.

Like, "Right? ’I feel like I'm asking, smiling and nodding.

“So get well soon. Remember to keep your promises. ”

With a chic answer, the reality turns around.

Robert and Joon are mute in their eyes. But for a moment, Robert bites his lips tightly and bows his head. Then he said in a sincere voice.

“· · · · · · Thanks. I will repay you for this favor. ”

“Ugh! Thank you. Thank you very, very much! ”

On his knees, Joon slumps his head to the ground.

He looks as happy as he is about his job. When I saw this, my mouth slightly went up.

‘There are two things you get out of this. ’

One is to dispel Robert and June's doubts about Ferda and Silvan. And the other one was a huge debt to both of them.

‘It's not a bad deal. ’

Ferda smiles satisfactorily. Then I took the antidote right out of his chest and injected it into Robert's back. At a rapid rate, the black spots on the left eye begin to disappear.

Not long after that.

Robert falls into a deep sleep. Maybe it's because he's relaxed.

After leaving him behind, Ferda glances at his inventory.

‘There are six antidotes left. ’

This was quite a relaxing axis. Given the circumstances, two would be fine to use for transactions as useful as they are now. Ferda, who closed her inventory, approached Robert. It was to check on the condition.

But then, Isha grabs his collar.

“· · · · · · · Home teacher. ”

A serious look on his face.

What's the matter? Isha opens her mouth first, just as she was about to ask for a favor.

“Hawk and the Birch have called for backup. ”

“What, already? ”

It's only been half a day since the poop blew.

Moreover, Hark and his order are also stationed at 500 undead troops and Elven Spirits. But I can't believe I'm already calling for backup. Isha's words continue as she frowns.

“There are five crystals. Two outer castles have collapsed. They've retreated to the inner sanctuary. They're saying they're inert. ”

Ferda's expression hardens.

If only there were five monsters with the combat power between masters at the top of Expert.

“Tell him to hang on, I'll be right there. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

Isha nods.

We then communicate back to Hark and the Prince. Ferda explained to the practitioner: A moment later, the realm nods and looks back at his family that had just arrived.

“Heron.”

“Speak, my king. ”

“Lead your troops straight to the nature of Hark and the Order. I'll be the first to go. ”

“Yes, I will make sure to arrive as soon as possible. ”

After answering, Heron immediately hides his face.

Here's to preparing for the journey.

“Then let's go, too. ”

The room quietly walks toward the window. I threw myself out the window without hesitation. Maybe Yi 'an was waiting in advance. And Isha also climbed on top of Yi 'ang, following behind the realm.

Ferda, on the other hand, is an embarrassing face.

Of course. I didn't have a clue where to step.

“Take my hand. ”

Did he figure out what Ferda was thinking?

The thread reaches out. When I held hands, I was pulled by a surprisingly strong force. I felt like I was stepping into the air with nothing, but I quickly felt a soft feeling.

“Hold on tight. I'll be right there.”

The handrail raised with the feeling of the body rising up.

The three of them hid themselves in the blink of an eye.

* * *

At that time, Hark and the Prince.

The black smoke rises relentlessly. The battle against the Akashas was fought because of the foreign body that happened half a day ago.

“Hang in there! ”

“Reinforcements coming from Earl Archdut soon! ”

The situation is severe, but the fire of hope is not extinguished.

A new state to serve thanks to the news that Silvan Archdut is on his way here. That's why Hale and the Herrick sisters fought incessantly encouraging soldiers.

In fact, I didn't think I'd be in such a tight spot.

The battle against Akasha has cost us dearly. That's why I thought I'd last at least two days. However, the situation changed dramatically with the appearance of a unique-looking Akasha.

‘When I first saw you, I thought you were a sodmaster. ’

In retrospect, Hale swallows his thirsty saliva.

The strength of the variant Akasha was a threat. Destroyed a frozen outer planet with ice.

‘How much longer can you hold out?' ’

When Hale's face turned dark.

Bang, bang!

The whole wall trembles with a loud noise. What the hell is going on? As Hale tries to ask why, the soldiers near the gate shout in haste.

“We're at our limit! ”

“Stop, the gate won't hold! ”

Looks like a mutant Akasha is knocking at the gate.

Hale jumps straight to the gate, keeping an eye on the situation.

“Stand back, all of you! Me and Herrick will take on each other. ”

Herek joins you in dread of her cry.

The two who drew their swords first stared at the elongated thumping gate. When the battle seemed to be happening right away.

Herrick opens his mouth.

“This reminds me of an old story. ”

“Huh?”

“The story of Hetron, the Knight of the Fallen. ”

Knight's Heterone.

He is a first-time resident of the writer Hark and a man who was named for his outstanding work over 300 years ago. During the siege with the monsters at the time, Hetron was also famous for blocking the gates with a short fuse.

“I never thought something like this would happen. ”

After that, Hale grins.

Then, I confronted him with a bold tone.

“So you're going to be the reinforcements of the kingdom. ”

“Haha, there you go. ”

Herrick bursts into laughter as well.

Then, once again, the gate shook violently.

“However, the Kingdom's reinforcements arrive on time, while · · · · · · · · ·. ”

At that moment, there was a long crack in the gate.

Immediately, you see Akasha's hideous eyes through the cracks. Herrick struggles to grip his teeth as his whole body freezes. It was to sow fear.

“· · · · · · We seem to have a little bit more to live for. ”

To the end of Herek's muttering.

Qazi! Qazi!

The gate is completely down.

At the same time, a large number of troops came rushing in.
