Count Scribe's Tutor

“God, Setia du Raganata to see the king. ”

“Gods, Keshmif El Karan to see the king. ”

The greatest knights and wizards in the kingdom.

Two nobles who represent swordsmanship and magic kneel before Robert. Robert greets them with a soft smile.

“Welcome, Duke. It's been a long time since Wizard Keshmif. ”

With warm hospitality, a feast began shortly.

The meal I had the other day in the royal family was on the small side. It was because they banned lavish meals, regardless of status, until the conditions of the people's food got better. It was the same with the royal diet.

But today was different.

From appetizers to mediums and desserts. It became much more glamorous and abundant than before. He was also enjoying duck meat.

‘Looks like the information is true that the food situation has improved. ’

I never thought I'd be able to recover a land so close to a barren wasteland so quickly.

Ferda's eyes are wide open.

Soon after the dinner, warm coffee and refreshments were ready.

Was it because I had a satisfactory meal? In fact, his face was much better than before. After that, I had a relaxing cup of coffee.

“Hey, Earl Serenek. ”

The Duke of Setier speaks.

Suddenly, he looks at him with a curious face. Meanwhile, Duke Setier smiled somewhat strangely. A face that has something to say.

“If you don't mind later · · · · · · · · ·. ”

The Duke hesitated for a moment to continue speaking.

In reality, he opens his mouth in a hurry, as if he knew what he was going to say.

“I'm not here to fight today. ”

“Hmmm! I'm not asking for a duel, either. ”

He clears his throat with a shy face.

Shortly after, the duc spoke with a serious face.

“I just want to use it as a workout after supper to slam the sword. ”

“· · · · · · Has the dictionary meaning of Dalian changed in my absence? ”

He asked as if it was absurd.

Looking at this, Ferda smiles slightly.

Approximately 3 years from now, the practice gained new skills. A skill crafted by Yu Baek Hyun, the author of the 8th edition, sacrificing himself.

‘Plum Heart Sword.' ’

A sword that never breaks unless your heart is broken.

This skill allows you to steal the opponent's sword instead of consuming it. And the more combat experience he gained, the more he was able to implement a sword close to the original.

‘That's a good idea. ’

I can't believe you're going to teach me how to use a sword like this.

In the eighth round, it seems that the only thing made of sodmaster is not enough to fill the castle.

After knowing the skill's abilities.

Ferda strikes her sword with her handiwork every day. It was to engrave the sword of the assassin he had trained onto the body. And by the time he had perfected the Assassin's Blade, he went to Duke Setier and asked him to teach him a lesson.

And about a year later.

In fact, he stole all the duc's swords.

Later, the duc notices this and starts clinging to reality as he did to Ferda before. It wasn't that I didn't understand. You feel like you're fighting yourself, so of course you're excited.

‘But there are drawbacks, too. ’

Plum Heart Sword is not a skill that teaches swordsmanship.

A skill that used enormous magical power to force the body of a realm to fit the sword.

‘Maybe it was made for defense. ’

When a melee battle is fought, the Plum Heart Blade will automatically trigger as long as the weapon is in your hand. It was truly the best defense skill for a wizard that was vulnerable to melee combat.

“Just three, maybe two. What do you think?”

Then I hear the desperate voice of Duke Setier.

If you leave it alone, it will stretch at the bottom of your legs. Was that a burden? In fact, he sighed and held back.

“So I'm not very good with swords. ”

“Don't lie to me. You have a gift for swordsmanship! I guarantee it!”

The duc who did not know the existence of the Plum Heart Blade denied the truth at once.

Meanwhile, as he sighed, he soon turned to Ferda. He looks for help, but Ferda tries to ignore him. Then he squirmed his eyebrows and opened his mouth.

“If you want a duel, go with Ferda. I'll lend it to you in particular."

Ugh, I can't believe this is happening.

Ferda looks embarrassed, and smiles brightly. It was actually a smile that looked like a villain. At that time, Duke Setier said with a grumpy face.

“Ew! I'm tired of fighting dirty, nasty assassins. ”

“I can hear you, Mr. President. ”

Who said anything about dirty?

Ferda frowns slightly.

The duc, on the other hand, doesn't even look at him, starts asking for a duel again. When he sighed again. I heard a voice saving him.

“A duel would be nice, but could I have your attention, please? ”

Robert's voice.

Empty his cup clean, he said with a serious face.

“I have something I'd like to discuss with you about the Imperial emissary. ”

Afraid of being mentioned by the Norse Empire.

The noise around me stopped for a moment. Duke Sethier's face hardened in an instant, and Ferda and the real estate glowed with a stiff face.

After drawing everyone's attention, Robert looks at June. Joon nodded his head and stepped forward with a short clearance.

“First, let me explain the size of the mission. ”

Imperial emissaries consisted of a total of 500 personnel.

And the leader of the mission is Mukha Kundal, a first-class Mukhan. Here, Mukhan means noble, and the meaning of class 1 means royal or royal blood.

Furthermore, the mission consisted of only two or more people, all of whom were escorted by the finest knights in the empire. You can see how important the Norse Empire is to this mission.

“They also passed through the Holy Land and Jerome a week ago, saying they will arrive in the capital the day after tomorrow. ”

About the time I continued to explain the path of the mission.

Earl Keshmif, who was silent, said a word of concern.

“It pains me to come through the Holy Land. ”

“So am I. But more importantly, ”

Joon's eyes sparkled.

“Jerome called me this morning. I hear the Norse Empire has made some crazy demands. ”

“Ridiculous demands. ”

Duke Setier is still blurry.

What did Jerome say was nonsense? While I was still in reminiscence, Queshamif asked me with a face in case.

“Are you telling me to come into my own country? ”

“It wasn't like that. I haven't heard the details yet, but they say it's an exaggerated request related to the Holy Nation. ”

Ferda's expression hardened as she said it was related to the Holy Land.

Not only that, Duke Setier twitches his eyebrows and Earl Keshmif looks uncomfortable.

Then, the realm opened its lips.

“It doesn't matter what you ask. ”

He mutters in a dry tone.

In reality, after drinking all the remaining coffee, the purple eyes flashed brightly.

“Crossing the line will only cost you. ”

The frozen eyes of cold flesh.

Along with him, Duke Setier looks at the horse.

“I also agree with Earl Serknek. If the Empire speaks nonsense, the envoys will pay handsomely. ”

In other words, if I say nonsense, I will not let it go.

Meanwhile, Robert sighs heavily as he reacts to the Duke of Setier.

“Phew, I understand what you mean. ”

He thought for a moment, but he spoke with a dark bitten face.

“But we just got out of the war. I want to avoid unnecessary bleeding as much as possible. ”

“Then what do you want to do? ”

“Let's hear the request first. And I'm willing to accept as many conditions as I can. I don't want people to go to war again. ”

Unlike the hardened two, Robert was as modest as possible.

Of course. We've just finished our repairs, but if we go to war again, the kingdom will be forced to sink into a long-term recession.

“But if it goes beyond acceptable, · · · · · · · ·. ”

Robert closes his mouth as he continues to speak.

I didn't have to wear a backhorse anymore. Crossing the acceptance range meant crossing the line.

The eyes of Duke Realm and Sethia flashed fiercely.

* * *

Let's see what kind of demands they make.

If it's too much to ask, let's look at the situation and decide.

This was the conclusion drawn to the meeting. After the meeting, Ferda entered the assigned accommodation. Spacious, comfortable rooms. After keeping the window open, I felt a familiar posture shortly after.

“I report.”

It was Kalman.

As he rises, he continues to report in a blunt tone.

“The investigation into Earl Aslette is now halfway through. The information you've received is being documented and will be available to you by tomorrow morning. ”

Ferda nods quietly.

Taking into account the initial investigation period as a month, it was not a bad throughput rate. He then looks at Kalman and asks a new question.

“What is the mission's current position? ”

“I've just entered the Duke of Setier. ”

Agni's informants have not been slowing down surveillance since the imperial envoy crossed the border. I'm sure they're still watching. Here, Ferda adds one instruction:

“Immediately after they enter the capital, level up your Surveillance Rating to zero. ”

Kalman's eyes glowed with the word "class 0."

From that moment on, when a Grade 0 Surveillance target appears, all Ragni's Surveillances will monitor and record the target for a one-to-one basis. It was sort of a general order.

“Yes! I'll let Brandon know. ”

With a vigorous answer, Kalman's body becomes a shadow.

After a while, Kalman hides himself like smoke. It was famous for its vigilance, but it was as easy for Kalman to get in and out of the house as it was for him.

It was then.

Knock, knock!

Someone knocks on the door outside.

“Ferda, can I come in for a minute? ”

The visitor's identity was real.

Ferda gets up straight away and opens the door. In fact, I came straight into the room. Suddenly, he tilts his head around.

“Hmmm? You were just with someone? ”

I'm getting a sharp sense of intelligence.

Ferda nods, smiling pitifully.

“I was listening to Kalman's report. What happened to you? ”

“Oh, I drank a lot of coffee and couldn't sleep. ”

I smiled awkwardly.

Somehow he drank three glasses earlier. Ferda shrugs.

“Do you want some hot tea? ”

“No, it's okay. It's just water. ”

In response, I poured a cup with moderately cool water.

The reality that received it was dazed, looking at the water cup. Why do I have a worried face? When Ferda tried to talk to me with a curious expression, Silvan opened his mouth first.

“Can't you do something about Duke Setier? ”

Oh, that's a concern.

Ferda bursts into laughter.

“You must have suffered a lot. ”

“Huge. I followed him to his room and got in trouble for sending him back. ”

In reality, it was an annoying face.

He explained how persistent and persistent the Duke of Setier was since then. It was an insult, to put it simply. While hearing this quietly, he suddenly asked me a question.

“How did Ferda avoid it before? ”

“I erased my wits and waited for my return. ”

“· · · · · · · First of all, it's not something I can use. ”

The crooked face sighs.

The sigh did not stop there. Soon after, he sighs. Like a troubled person.

“How much trouble are you struggling with? ”

“Just including the Duke of Setier. ”

Then perhaps the Duke of Setier accounts for 90 percent.

Ferda picks up a cup of tea, smiling inside. And the moment I put a warm cup of tea in my mouth.

“Oh, and I'm worried about my successor. ”

“Phew!”

The tea that was in my mouth sprayed out.

It was because I heard something I didn't think of.

“Hoo, you're the heir? ”

“Yes. I was wondering if I could make a decision. ”

Ferda frowns, looking at his solemn face.

It was worth it. Not only does he actually have a successor, but he doesn't even have a pet yet.

Then who do you choose as your successor? Just when Ferda, who was caught in doubts, thought about what to say.

“The territory is stable enough, and I want to do something else. ”

In fact, it was a horse.

He looks back at Ferda and asks a nonchalant question.

“Do you remember the promise you made before? When the time of peace came to an end, the two of us decided to wander the continent. ”

I remember, of course, when I came up to the erl to prevent all death, I said the same thing. Ferda nods and smiles.

“I thought this was the right time. ”

In response, Ferda looks embarrassed.

Of course, I fully understood the reality of the situation. It's not a exaggeration to say that half the peace has come now.

‘But. ’

Ferda still has a long way to go.

I had to solve the empire and prevent a third disaster. Furthermore, I had to confirm the last blessing left by the author of the fifth book, and ultimately I had to find the nameless Cardinal and the hidden truth of the world.

“Don't worry. I'm not saying I want to do it right now. ”

Did he read Ferda's face?

He takes a step back.

“We can't wait forever, though, so let's wander the continent together when the Empire's problems are resolved later. This is a lot of concessions. ”

A stubborn headband.

Obviously, if the Empire's problems are solved, there may be time to spare. Ferda nods happily as she ponders.

“Okay. Let's do that. ”

“Really? You promised? ”

“Yes, I promise. ”

As I smiled and answered, I smiled.

The first day of arriving at Uranus was late.

And about two days later.

I have been informed that an Imperial emissary has arrived in the capital.
