Count Scribe's Tutor

The moment I heard the confession.

Ferda narrows her eyes. I immediately cooled down in my head.

Actually, I wasn't that surprised. I expected it to be related to the fifth author since I mentioned the manager.

‘I didn't know it was you. ’

His eyes sparkle through the narrow crevices.

Ferda looks at the book with an interesting face. While everyone's gaze was concentrated, the author who described himself as the fifth time continued to speak.

First of all, finding this book means questioning the world. Or managers because they are curious about what the existence is and what the end of this incomplete story is.

That's right, but I was closer to the latter if I could give you a more accurate reason.

Living a happy life without reaching a fixed end. That was Ferda's ultimate goal.

You, the author of Savior. What do you hope to accomplish?

Then came the question from the fifth author.

At the same time, the book, which was floating in the air, slowly came down. Soon after, the book in front of Radina presented a unique choice.

If you are completing a myth, turn to the next page. On the other hand, if you are completing a practical story, turn the book upside down and open the last page.

The former was like Sermer's proposal.

Ferda's choice was closer to the latter. Practice was more important than the world. So I chose the latter without hesitation.

“Ladina, can you hand over the last page of the book? ”

[Oops? Oh, you're looking upside down?]

Radina tilting her head back and forth.

I nodded silently at him. Radina turned the book upside down as she was told and opened the last page. Then the book struck me again with a bright light, and I thought to myself that I was sleeping in the air.

Congratulations on surviving the final ordeal.

Until now, it was a different, laughable voice.

The only choice you just made was a test? When there was a strange light on his face, I heard something I had never thought of.

If you had tried to complete the myth as if it were haunted by the ghosts, this book would be burned to ashes in an instant.

As soon as I heard that, my mouth burst open.

I never thought I'd set a trap for this choice. He was quite cautious and cautious. And then he said,

You are of my will. No, I think everyone who's been called here by the manager is the same. We have something in common that each of us was saved by practice.

The insistence was clear.

The 8th author, Yu Baek Hyun from Sword. And the third author, Lantern Deckert, also said that he was saved by the real story.

‘And Ser Merdo said the same thing. ’

The protagonists of the story all made the same decision.

So all the other authors of the round will think the same.

I have so much to say. I have a lot to tell you. But I couldn't put it all in this book. There was also a risk of being discovered by the manager, so the records were kept separate.

He is definitely cautious, as we analyzed earlier.

But it was not a disadvantage. It's a bit of a hassle, but this is the only way to get out of the supervisor's inspection. Ferda listened to the story that led to her understanding.

If you go any deeper into where you found this book, there are three forks. Through the gate installed on each road, if you reach the end, you will be able to see the records I have left.

There was a fork in the road?

As soon as I heard that, I turned my eyes to Irina.

“Have you explored beyond where you found this book? ”

“Of course I did. ”

Irina nods happily.

Soon, I remembered the words of the time.

“I found three crossroads in total, all blocked by a very unusual door. I tried to break it, but it wouldn't budge. ”

Top-level spirits. And all kinds of magic.

She said she tried everything she could to break down the gate. But he said he stopped exploring and came back because he couldn't even scratch it.

Then I opened my eyes wide as if I had a new fact.

“Oh, right. And the door was engraved with a text from that book. ”

“What did it say? ”

“I don't know. I can't read that text. ”

Irina shrugs.

Ferda narrows her eyes when she couldn't get the information she wanted. Around that time, the fifth author added a brief description of the gate.

All gateways can only be opened by those who deserve them. Some doors only open when they meet special conditions, and some doors only open when they deserve to.

That's very thoughtful of you.

Ferda sighs in a frustrated mood.

I said everything I wanted to do.

Then the man who was floating through the air came down gradually.

Later, I looked at Ferda as I had done before. After a while, he relayed the message in a bold voice.

You, the author of Savior. Please follow my trail and lead me to the unfettered end of the story.

That sounds like goodbye.

The light wrapped around the starry book turns into flame.

Bloop!

Immediately, the red flame swallowed up the book.

Without a moment's hesitation, the book turns into black ash.

Ferda and Isha stare at this sudden defecation, but also at the fact that they are just dazed.

How the silent atmosphere settled heavily.

At that moment, a voice broke the silence.

[Hing, this is my fairy tale book.]]

Did he think the fairy tale book was gone? Radina made a tear.

Meanwhile, Isha wakes up, signaling Radina's voice. She looks at the ashes that are not even a trace and opens her mouth immediately.

“I'm embarrassed. I can't believe the book just burst into flames. ”

Unlike Isha, who seems surprised, Irina doesn't seem so distraught.

A moment later, she adds a rather unorthodox tone.

“Maybe it was a book for conveying something. Some of the oldest books in my family have books that occasionally burn like that if you pass information on like that. ”

“That's amazing. What kind of device is this? ”

Isha sparkles with a feverish look in her eyes.

But for a moment, her gaze turned to Ferda.

It was not just Isha. Irony also frowned and looked at him.

Of course. This all started after Ferda triple-tapped the book. Ferda also knew that everyone's gaze was focused on her.

But I couldn't answer.

In order for me to understand the fifth author's conversation, I have to tell him the vast and inconvenient truth that he knows first. But even if I did, there was a reason I couldn't look at them right now.

It was because of the system message that appeared right before my eyes.

[Warning]

Unauthorized access detected.

Begin tracking.

Trace failed. Retry. Tracking failed.

Soon after the book burned down.

The Yggdrasil system was busy detecting traces of him, as if it had detected the existence of the author five times. Looking at this, I understood why the fifth author was so careful.

After a short time.

I remembered the system message again.

[Reminder]

Judging it as a temporary system error.

Restart some system settings.

Rest assured that the Yggdrasil system will not shut down.

The content of the subsequent message solidified my face.

Overly cautious with the 5th author. And the Yggdrasil system appeared as soon as he got rid of the evidence. With this, Ferda was able to understand the existence of the Yggdrasil system.

‘The eyes of the watcher, touched by the manager. ’

Recognizing this, the blood seemed to cool for a moment.

I opened my lips slightly and looked at the air. It was right where the system message had just stayed.

‘I don't know if I'm still watching, but... ’

Staring out into the air, at an invisible manager.

Ferda exhales horribly.

‘It's not going to work out your way. Never.'

He clenches his fist tightly, with a declaration of war he cannot hear.

The report of Irona's exploration stopped him.

* * *

Near midnight.

It was quite late at night, and Ferda could not sleep well. I sat by an open window and looked up at the night sky without saying a word. It was to calm down my complicated bitten head.

Then I remembered what happened earlier.

By the time everything was done, a lot of questions were raised from Isha. Of course, I've read the texts that she can't even read, and in addition to that, I've had five reactions to understanding what the author said.

‘But. ’

I couldn't answer it like I said before.

So I pretended to be embarrassed on purpose. And after he said it was complicated in his head, he told me that he would tell me when it was all sorted out.

Just when I thought of the situation that ended like that.

Suddenly, there was an object that touched my brain.

Ferda pulls a small piece of seed out of her inventory. It's the reward for stopping the second disaster. Items that can temporarily invoke the author of the last session.

It was a bookmark.

[Name]: golden bookmark

[Type]: Consumables

[Effect]

Call one author out of every session for a period of time.

[Target]: 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th

[Duration]: 5 hours

[Cooldown]: 30 days (fixed)

[Special note]:

When you use a bookmark, the record stops for a duration.

The summoned author cannot harm the shaman.

The 8th and 3rd authors have already called, so let's say.

However, only the fifth author is excluded because the Bible says, "All authors." What this meant was clear.

‘It means the manager is restrained. ’

Then a new question is born here.

Why is the manager stopping 5 authors so far? Just because you know the inconvenient truth? Then how did the fifth author get his hands on these truths?

Numerous questions followed by tails.

But I can't get rid of it right now, because the fifth author of the book burned it to get out of the manager's eyes.

‘Then what's left of the clue. ’

It would be best to go to the cave in the Western Wasteland and see the records he left behind. Of course, I wanted to. But there was one hesitation.

Ferda sighs for a moment.

Then I took someone's name out of my mouth.

“Kalman.”

“Yes, boss. Did you call?”

It's only a few seconds since you called out your name, and Kalman suddenly shows up. In a certain way, it was obvious. He's been with Ferda all day.

Now, it is also quite good to hide our wits.

No matter how badly he was injured, he was out of touch with Heron and Tervand. Ferda smiles with a satisfactory smile and puts the matter in her mouth.

“How are things in the capital? ”

“There's no big difference from what I reported two days ago. The two princes live in their own mansions, and the nobles are raiding their territory. ”

Kalman replies calmly.

Meanwhile, Ferda asked this question to prepare for civil war. It was also timely, because the king's condition worsened day by day.

Yeah, let me ask you this.

“How is the king? ”

“He says he's still unconscious. ”

Two days ago, the king suddenly collapsed unconscious. If it goes back to the beginning, the king will die in trouble for about a full night. About a week after that, civil war erupts into the primus of two-prince Sarphene.

However, it was already much different from the original development, so I couldn't help feeling when the civil war would erupt. The only thing that was certain was that civil war would only take place if the king sat down.

“I see. If there is any change, contact me on the bridge immediately. ”

“Yes!”

With a strong answer, Kalman hides himself again.

Ferda, who is left alone, puts her mind at ease.

‘If the king survives a full night like the original, · · · · · · · · ·. ’

We'll have plenty of time.

Riding the Bone Dragon Crane will shorten your travel time, and if you use the person you've already explored twice as a guide, you won't have to worry about getting lost.

Ferda makes up her mind as she rethinks her concerns.

"Civil War is important, but the record of the fifth author is more important. ’

If the civil war breaks out and managers find out about it first and destroy the records, that's a big deal.

‘Only now is the time to go. ’

Start exploring the western wilderness tomorrow.

Ferda's eyes burn like fire as she makes her decision.
