Count Scribe's Tutor

“Rest well, then. ”

The door closes with Geller's polite greeting.

Ferda, left alone, leans against the wall and lightly unwinds. After the dinner, I felt tired from talking for a few hours.

After a while, he sits in a chair, looking at the clock reflectively.

A little after midnight. The conversation lasted longer than I thought. I thought we'd be done in an hour. Geller told me about various incidents in various parts of the kingdom.

‘But I also learned something thanks to you. ’

I was able to get a sense of the mood of the different kingdoms. When Ferda remembers this, she opens her notes straight away. It was to create a plan to spread the fame of reality more widely.

After a short time.

I stood up to replenish the fallen ink. Then, suddenly, I could see out the window. What follows is the wilderness beyond the gray walls. The Great Beyond was the Earl Morco, the destination for tomorrow.

At that moment, Geller's story struck me.

‘I told you it was a tree. ’

A tree that feels ominous just looking at it.

Geller clearly said that. And when I think about the current situation, there was only one tree that came to my mind.

On the edge of the Eastern Desert, a giant tree I saw across the canyon.

An unidentified entity that has conceived the second disaster and has been able to interfere with the Yggdrasil system.

When I remembered him, I bit my lips tightly without knowing it.

‘· · · · · · · What the hell is going on. ’

The sprout of anxiety grows deep in your heart.

But for a moment, he clenched his fist tightly.

There were countless unanswered doubts, but that didn't mean the situation was bad.

Rather, the situation was the best for all times.

We've pushed the Awakening of reality to the highest speeds and pushed it into the Holy Land.

‘So it's okay. ’

It didn't matter if the development was completely different.

There was only one thing he could do from the start.

‘Protect the realm and together prevent disaster. ’

Just like all the authors of the round did.

If you follow the path that has been set, the hidden truth will come up to the surface one by one. Ferda believed that and didn't suspect a thing.

‘Let's go to the Earl tomorrow and see for ourselves about the trees. ’

After clearing your mind, Ferda covers her notebook.

The night is deep. You must go to bed by now so you can move without a crowd tomorrow.

When I woke up thinking like that.

Knock, knock!

You hear a somewhat dull knock somewhere.

I was about to turn my head because I thought it was Geller, but I was stiffened for a moment. It was because I realized that knocking was not the way to visit, it was the window.

Then Ferda looks toward the window and opens her eyes wide.

“In fact?”

For a moment I thought I'd seen it wrong, so I rubbed my eyes and looked again.

But the one outside the window was right. Floating in the air. Probably riding on an oak.

While thinking about it, the realm knocked on the window again.

Like you're asking me to open it. Ferda straightaway opens the window. I immediately asked with a surprised face.

“What are you doing here at this hour? ”

“I can't sleep. Can I come in for a minute? ”

Of course. We can't keep them in the air.

As I slowly stepped aside, he stepped out of the window frame. The reality that entered the room looked around for a moment and soon sat on the bed.

Then suddenly, I looked up at Ferda with a fat face.

“· · · · · · · · It's all Ferda's fault, to say the least. ”

“Huh? What? ”

“You kept me up till 2: 00 in the morning. Ever since we first met. ”

What am I supposed to say? Ferda smiles in relief.

I couldn't help it then. We thought we could prevent the first catastrophe by adding a little bit more dark magic.

“Then, from today, when you want to sleep, go to sleep. ”

Sound dimensional magic is enough.

Moreover, thanks to the Plum method left by Yoo Baek Hyun, author of the 8th round, the amount of magical power recovery rose dramatically. You can use unlimited magical power as long as you limit the amount of magical power consumed at once.

On the other hand, he nodded quietly when he heard the answer.

“Okay, I'm going to sleep now. ”

Suddenly, he goes into bed and covers his duvet.

No, that doesn't mean I have to stay here. When Ferda smiles awkwardly, the thread inside the duvet sticks out her face. He then muttered with a slightly darkened face.

“· · · · · · · Actually I'm a little anxious. ”

The voice of tremors.

At the same time, there was an awkward smile on Ferda's face. He hardened his face and listened to the real story that was about to lead to a serious face.

“My chest is tightened and I can't breathe. What do I say? I feel like I put five eyes on the moon at once. ”

It means that you feel a strong sense of pressure by divine power.

This was a phenomenon that was often mentioned at other times. And by the fifth time, the cause of this phenomenon was discovered.

‘What happens when the Cardinal without a name detects a false identity. ’

Ferda's eyes flash fiercely.

He said he had lived with this feeling all the time, until he had the Moon's Eye.

‘There are two ways to solve this phenomenon. ’

One is simple. Wearing the moon's eyes again. Then the cardinal will not be able to sense the existence of reality, and will be able to escape the frustration of reality.

‘But this is not the way to do it. ’

An unnamed Cardinal is a common enemy.

One day we'll have to fight. Therefore, we must overcome it by our own will, not by the eyes of the moon. That way, when you face the Cardinal, he won't be discouraged.

“That's why I'm here. I can't sleep. ”

A sigh lifts the blanket to the tip of your nose.

Then Ferda sat down at the end of the bed. As his purple eyes looked up at him, his tightly closed lips sprouted.

“Then I'll stay with you until you fall asleep. ”

The answer came back, and his eyes slightly widened.

A moment later, the practitioner nods silently.

However, I could hardly see myself falling asleep over time. What should we do? When I was thinking about it, there was something touching my brain.

“If you can't sleep, can I read you a book? ”

Suddenly, every night, Radina asked Heron to read her fairy tale book. So I asked him this question, but soon I regretted it. It was because he was looking this way with his eyes wide open.

‘Well, he's not even Radina's age. ’

It would have sounded ridiculous.

Ferda quickly shakes her hand.

“No, just kidding. ”

“Yes, read it to me. ”

But then, the reality was cold.

Looking closely, his eyes were different from usual. Not dry eyes like a dry desert, but starry eyes. After seeing this look, Ferda was not too hard on her disciples to resist.

“I feel strange. It's the first time anyone's read to me. ”

Besides, how can you say no to something like that?

Ferda nods, bringing out a moderately thin book. It seemed like I was married. That's good enough to read. After sitting on the road bed, I read the poem in a bold tone.

By the time the night gets too deep.

The breathing sounds have steadily changed.

You'll be asleep soon enough. As I was reading the elongated poem over the few remaining pages, I suddenly got a name from my mouth.

“· · · · · · · · Perda. ”

A silk thread that was pulled while looking at the collar.

After a while, the soft voice soaked my ears.

“When this war is over, how long will it be peaceful? ”

The impending civil war. War against the obsessed Holy Nation. From the third disaster that every author of the round couldn't overcome to the fourth disaster that had never come out before.

After this disaster, my homework started filling my head.

Is that why? I was blocked for a moment. When I hesitated, I suddenly burst into laughter.

“If it's hard to answer, you don't have to. ”

Did he realize Ferda was in trouble?

In fact, he smiled as if he was okay.

“Actually, I was confused. Even if this war is over, there will be another fight. And Ferda's all about running for it. ”

I had a smile in my half-closed eyes.

Immediately, he said in a voice with a slight tiredness.

“But I still want a little peace. Then we can go out for a nice meal and travel together. ”

Right after we averted the first disaster?

He once said something similar in practice. When the war is over, we all want to travel together. While I was thinking about that time, he smiled and said.

“I hope that one day will come. Right?"

But the reality was not waiting for an answer.

It was because I did not overcome the drowsiness of the waves. I closed my eyes gradually, and then I heard the sound of breathing.

Meanwhile, Ferda glances at you with a mischievous face. Immediately, he opened his lips slightly, muttering as if to chant a spell.

“Yes. Someday it must be. ”

I wish I could. Ferda prayed quietly.

The black night sky became brighter and brighter.

The next day.

The group makes their way to the destination, Earl Morco.

In fact, I didn't have much to prepare. Just grab a lunch box on the way, and we can march with the undead.

But in conclusion, the group can't escape the castle.

The reason was simple: the enemy came from beyond the erl.

It was an army of thousands of fragments.

* * *

It is only at dawn that I have confirmed the existence of my first enemy.

The soldiers at the top of the Watchtower don't let their guard down.

“Enemy spotted in the eastern wilderness! ”

“They're coming right at us! ”

The soldiers clap their bells, screaming as if their throats were bursting.

Thanks to this, the troops within the city were able to wake up and cope with the situation.

“Invasion! Invasion! ”

“Archers to the wall! ”

Switching to defensive positions didn't take long.

Several times, the experience of fighting disasters was illuminating. But even then, momentarily, as I looked at the size of the enemy, a sudden rumble arose.

It was because there were too many.

Thousands at a glance. On the other hand, the defensive forces at Badgon are barely a thousand men. Moreover, even numbers including injured soldiers. It was natural for me to lose morale.

It was then.

Bummer!

The loud footsteps echo the ground.

Immediately, the soldiers who looked back brightened their faces.

“Ah, the Undead! ”

“An army of silvan arcades! ”

The morale that had fallen to the ground began to rise again.

It was. They weren't the only ones here. There were invincible armies and princes of the dead that swept across the south.

When there was hope in everyone's face.

“Open the gate. Go out and fight.”

I heard unthinkable things from the practice at the front. Then the knights guarding the gate asked with embarrassing faces.

“Yes?”

“Ha, but the enemy · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

They were still rushing towards the castle.

And you open the gate? It was crazy. Suicide would have been nice. So the knights hesitated.

On the other hand, the reality did not seem too obvious.

“It doesn't matter. We win anyway. ”

It's as natural as telling the truth.

In a confident voice, the knights turn to their senses.

Glug glug! Cough!

With a loud noise, the locked gate opens wide.

Enemies approaching the foothills shortly thereafter. But the forces of the realm and the undead stand still, and they do not come any closer.

Instead, someone walks out of the center of the enemy force.

He was a little bigger than the rest of them.

“That's · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Crystal?”

Tervand and Heron speculate.

Isha then argued against it.

“But doesn't that seem a bit human to you? ”

The crystals I had so far faced had an ugly appearance, with no exception. Like having thorns all over you, or having lots of branches and roots.

But he was different. Like Isha said, the human form is just covered in bark. However, I felt a strange energy, unlike the fragments.

It doesn't change the fact that you're the enemy after all.

“All hands to battle stations. ”

All enemies in front of you are destroyed.

Let's get rid of them as soon as possible and make our way to the destination. That's what I thought. Then, the man in the lead suddenly opened his mouth.

[I am here.]

The human language was clearly heard.

Once you speak, the crystal looks clear.

[Come see me.]

Soon after, his words continued.

Who are you talking to? The realm tilts its head curiously.

And after a while, he flashed a fierce look in his eyes.

[From the outside, to another world.]

I'm afraid that's over.

There is a crack in Ferda's peaceful face.
