Count Scribe's Tutor

Mission from the Norse Empire.

The mission was very glamorous, as was the status of the country that conquered one continent. He had exquisitely embroidered gold threads on his fancy silk clothes and wore jewelry around his neck and arms.

Especially the uniform of the knights was also noticeable.

An armor made of gold. The sword and shield are engraved with all sorts of enchantments. Maybe it's all magic equipment.

Chop-chop!

Along with the rattling sound of iron, the Imperial envoy enters the castle.

However, most of them stayed in the Royal Garden, including the Knights, because not all of them could enter the Great War. And Muhka Kundalman, the emissary leader, was guided to the battle.

“The envoy of the Norse Empire is entering! ”

The door opens with a signal of the knight guarding the entrance.

Soon I saw Muhka Kundal. Man with turquoise hair and pale blue eyes. He smiles and bows, presumed to be about the same age as Ferda.

“Muhka Kundal, representative of the Empire, greets the king of Laderon. ”

“Welcome to Laderon, Muhka ball. ”

Robert smiled and said a polite greeting.

Soon, Muhka pointed to the crates lined up behind him.

“This is a gift for you as a gesture of friendship. ”

Inside the ark was silk, spices, and silver.

However, it was also true that it was a little poor in terms of gifts. It wasn't even Robert's birthday present. But Robert smiles as if he doesn't care.

“Thank you for the favor of the Norse Empire. ”

After that, they had a variety of conversations.

It was mostly formal. When I was talking about various topics, such as national circumstances, international politics, diplomacy, etc. Muhka said with a face that he remembered something.

“Oh dear, something has happened to the Empire this time. ”

“Something sacred? ”

“Yes, I am proud to be recorded in history. ”

It seemed to be about unifying the continent.

Roberts looks curious, guessing the answer.

“Can you tell me what it is? ”

“Of course.”

Muhka smiled softly.

Then you hear a completely different answer from Robert's expectations.

“The Norse Empire has unified the bridge as the foundation of this summer. ”

“Hmmm?" ”

“National Religion · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Was it because of some nonsense?

The nobles in the battle made a curious look. Robert's eyebrows, on the other hand, twitched instantaneously. When the anxious look on his face comes back, Muhka's humorous answer returns.

“The religion of Sererheim, who worships the sun, moon and twin gods. ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

The nobles' eyes widen.

Robert also narrowed his eyes, his brow frowned, and the Duke of Setia frowned. The atmosphere is different compared to before. Muhka, however, did not recognize it.

“This war has made the empire realize how meaningless and pointless war can be. Therefore, the Great Emperor wishes to open an era of peace in the future, using the religion of Ser Ham as a religion. ”

Muhka has a kind smile on his face.

“So I would be delighted if you could join me in every country. ”

At the end of his words, the war was filled with silence.

A moment later, Robert's voice breaks silence.

“· · · · · · · Are you asking us to believe in the god of Serrhaim? ”

“Yes, let's create an era of peace together. ”

Muhka replied with a smile on his face.

Ferda narrows her eyes in such a way.

"Jerome may say it's a ridiculous request. ’

From a long time ago, the kingdoms of the mountains worshiped their own gods, including mountains and rocks, winds and the gods of the earth. In other words, there is a native faith.

It is absolutely ridiculous to force such people to believe in the god of Serrhaim. As Ferda looks convinced, Robert nods, his mouth tightly shut.

“We've had many wars over the years. ”

From the scourge of death to the scourge of destruction.

Robert suffered all kinds of disasters and wars. Is that so? Robert mutters with a bitter look on his face.

“Thousands of people have lost their lives and their lands have turned to ruins. It is our hope that the age of peace will come when war is no more. ”

Peace. It was what Robert desperately wanted more than anyone.

However, he was unable to comply with the Empire's offer. Robert glances back at Muhka, slightly biting his lip.

“Now, however, the Kingdom is in Sererheim. ”

“I know. So I'm going to reserve a spot. ”

Muhka stops speaking and answers Robert.

Robert asked curiously.

“What position will you have? ”

“It's a place where we can solve our misunderstandings. ”

Monsters with sacred power and paladins across borders. Moreover, Sererheim interfered with the civil war that was five years ago. But what, a misunderstanding? The nobles' faces contain strong unpleasantness.

It was the same with Robert. When I tried to sweep my lips with a crumpled glance, there was someone who opened his mouth one step ahead.

“Then let me ask you one question. ”

It was the Duke of Setia.

He was speaking in a dull voice.

“Suppose the misunderstanding is solved. Then what if we refuse to worship the god of Ser Ham? ”

“I'm afraid I can't help it. It's their choice. ”

Muhka shrugs.

You couldn't have easily retreated. Duke Setier narrows his eyes. Muhka then added an extra hindsight, as Duke Setier expected.

“However, the Empire will be subject to God's trials in time for the coming month. That's all I want you to know. ”

“Noble trials? ”

“What's that? ”

When the nobles tilted their heads in a puzzling reply.

Muhka used a more direct expression.

“In short, it's about identifying sinners. ”

Terrifying that the expression "sinner" ended, the atmosphere of the war hardened.

Whether he knew this or not, Muhka only continued his elongation.

“There are only two gods in the world. You are the only creator of the world, the sun, the moon and everything. That is why we will put an end to all sinners who disobey God's will. ”

“ · · · · · ·!? ”

“Yes, I mean it! ”

Like an atmosphere filled with battle, the nobles' faces hardened as well.

At the same time, Muhka's eyes sparkle like a star.

The Duke of Setier frowns. I've seen people with those eyes before. The paladins who gladly gave their lives calling on the name of God. Their eyes were filled with madness.

Muhka's eyes now looked exactly like theirs.

“Everywhere in the world is in the arms of God. Therefore, there is no land where pagans can exist. We will hunt down all pagans and banish them from the arms of the gods. ”

There was a slight tremor in my voice that was getting higher.

Muhka then shouted in a joyful voice.

“Because that's all God wants! ”

It really looks like a cult.

Or was it the shocking content of his screams? The battle was much heavier than before. Meanwhile, Ferda, who was watching him from beginning to end, opened her eyes.

‘Is that what it was? ’

In his mind, the last chapter of the 8th chapter came to mind.

Yoo Baek Hyun, who tried to fight Ser Heim, joined forces with the Empire. However, due to the sudden betrayal of the empire, Yoo Baek Hyun's repetition ends in vain. At that time, I cursed because of the improbable development, but now I understand.

‘I didn't know you were in league with Cererheim. ’

Then that is why the Empire betrayed Yoo Baek Hyun.

When Ferda's eyes were cold. Suddenly, a clear voice was embroidered in a silent battle.

“In the sight of God, all are equal. ”

The protagonist of the voice is no different.

He recited the verse on the first page of the Bible.

“Our God is gracious and compassionate, and gives just love to all things in the world, and all things will be loved by God. ”

The practice of slowly walking forward closed its mouth.

Immediately, he looks at Muhka and asks a grudging question.

“Can a commander, then, be loved by God? ”

Muhka's eyes widen with the word "commander."

A moment later, he mutters dazed as if he had realized something.

“I see. You're the one. ”

But for a moment, Muhka soon recovered.

Then he smiled and said.

“I've heard a lot about you. Earl Serenek.”

“Don't talk back. Answer me. ”

The realm frowned and rushed. Muhka replied with a gentle smile and a relaxed tone.

“As you said, God gives fair love to all. So even if it is an unclean ghost, not a commander, he will love you as much as he wants. ”

“Can you swear to God that that's not a lie? ”

“Of course, but · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Muhka nods happily.

A moment later, he uttered a meaningful word.

“Just understand that a correction is needed in the process. ”

“Correction?”

“Yes, we have to remove the unclean before we worship God. ”

“That means · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“It is not until Earl Ser Nec has removed his unclean magic without leaving behind a speck of dust that we can receive God. ”

Muhka's words are terrifying.

“That's ridiculous! ”

Someone screams. Earl Keshmif. He explains why he got involved in the conversation with an uncanny face.

“If a commander loses all of his dark magic, waiting in front of him is only death. What the heck! ”

“Isn't that fortunate? ”

“Yes?”

“He's a lowly sinner who can't be saved even if he's dead, but he can be saved by death. ”

Muhka's mouth is filled with cynicism.

It sounded like a taunt, but there was no change in the look of reality. Others, on the other hand, had various responses. Robert frowns, and Ferda's eyes are cold.

“Muhka ball. Let me ask you something. ”

Then Robert opens his mouth again.

He goes back to the subject, asking questions.

“How do you intend to solve the misunderstanding with the Holy Nation? ”

“I will personally escort you to the Holy Land and arrange a seat. ”

“Lead? Who? ”

“Your Highness, and everyone involved in the war. Count Ser Nec, Duke Setier and the king will be joining us. ”

That is, enter the enemy country with my own feet.

You just said you had to pull out all the evil magic from the commander. Robert smiles blatantly at his explicit intentions.

“Now I see. What is the purpose of the Empire? ”

“All we want is peace. For other purposes. ”

As Muhka continues, Robert hangs up.

“We have no intention of solving sergeants and misunderstandings. ”

A bold word ended in silence on my left hand.

Muhka, who had shut his mouth for a moment, had a sad face.

“I'm sorry. I really wanted to make friends with Laderon. ”

But it wasn't his face at all.

It's like I thought it would be like this. At the same time, he had to be like this. Simply put, the Empire had not been as keen to persuade the Kingdom of Laderor from the beginning.

“And let me tell you one more thing. ”

“ · · · · · ·? ”

“Earl Serknek is not a sinner. ”

Robert opens his mouth with a stiff face.

“The erl is a hero of the realm. Without him, there wouldn't be a kingdom now. So apologize for that rude thing you just said. ”

It gives Muhka a strange glow for a moment.

Not long after, he politely pushed back.

“I understand your heart. However, in the service of God, Earl Serenek is indeed a sinner. because I've committed a lot of sins using unclean power. ”

Robert frowned on not admitting his guilt to the end.

Muhka calls back once the negotiations are concluded.

“Then I'll ask you one last time. In regards to this proposal from the Empire, please tell me your answer. ”

“My answer. ”

Robert blurs.

Empires don't want peace. They will support Sererheim and will oppress all countries on the Western continent except the Holy Nation. So, as long as I was hostile to Sererheim, I couldn't get along with the Empire.

That's why Robert made his decision.

Bummer!

He steps up from the throne. Soon we arrived in front of Muhka. When Muhka was embarrassed by his sudden actions, Robert's gaze reached Sererheim's mark on the box.

And that moment.

The king's sword is drawn from Robert's sheath.

Qajik!

A sword that pierced Sererheim's mark in an instant.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Was he surprised by the outburst?

Muhka opens his eyes. Robert smiles coldly as he watches the emotions of surprise slowly turn into anger.

“This is my answer. ”

Muhka trembles with the words.

Soon after, he revealed his hidden nature with a crooked face.

“You vile creature! How dare you! ”

But I couldn't finish the sentence.

As soon as the blasphemy was finished, two blades touched his neck. The two who approached Muhka in the blink of an eye were the Duke of Setia and his companions.

“I cannot tolerate your disrespect in front of His Majesty. ”

“Kneel down and forgive the king. If you don't want to blow your head off. ”

They grunted with a stiff face.

Muhka's fury does not seem to have subsided, though the sword has reached her throat. A face that looks like it's about to explode.

Did he not like that look?

In fact, my mouth is dying.

“That said, I've always wondered. ”

His blade is filled with the Black Orb. It was an error made up of unclean magic. When Muhka winces at the power contrary to divine power, the reality asks in a cool tone.

“If we make Sererheim's followers undead, will we still find God? ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Muhka's expression is pale.

He would, too, because one of Sererheim's worshippers' greatest fears was to become the undead after death. It was because of the anxiety that if you become undead, willingly or otherwise, you will not be saved.

Is that why?

Muhka bows his head with a different attitude.

“· · · · · Apologies for the rudeness committed by Earl Sernerk and the King. ”

An apple may look like an unexpected apple, but an apple is an apple.

The Duke of Silvana and Sethia grabbed their swords. Muhka turns away without hesitation. Shortly before leaving the war, you muttered in a threatening struggle.

“Today, you will regret this. Your Majesty.”

“None of the guys I knew said that were alive. ”

Did he hate the fact that he was so relentless?

Muhka trembles and leaves the battle with a red face.

And around that time,

Perda, who was watching this scene, suddenly tapped the floor with his toes three times.

After a while, the shadows that were poisonous were slightly lighter than others. At the same time, Ferda's appearance disappeared everywhere.
