Count Scribe's Tutor

Chapter 85. The sword (3)

The lungs in the north were marked by assassins.

A large room filled with knights in silver armor. The paladins of Sererheim. Among them, the High Priest, Ferda's target, and the Red Robe commander.

‘You took the trouble to deal with it yourself. ’

I wiped my gaze with a cold smile.

He then listens to the conversation of those listening under the ceiling.

Those who wandered about with regard to the whereabouts of the sword soon began to talk about their future march. Then the high priest looks back at the commander and says,

“Remember our mission, Burraine. ”

Burraine. Strange name.

Where did you hear that?

As I slowly stumbled into my memory, I felt a sudden stroke of my brain.

Not long ago I came into this world.

When I gathered the Herb to revive the realm as a commander, Ferda entered the underground market of Earl Akdue. He used the word "mercenaries of Verlane" to pressure the commander selling command post at the time.

Of course, I didn't know what it meant.

I just remembered that the fourth author used the word "mercenaries" to pressure the commander.

‘But I can't believe I'm hearing the name Burraine in a place like this. ’

I was curious about the words in Ferda's eyes.

Suddenly, a black paper appeared in the room. But for a moment, he was soon engulfed in fire and turned to ash. Shortly after, Verlane's gaze turned to the ceiling.

“Looks like the one who stole the sword is up there. ”

I'm afraid that's over.

Ferda immediately unfolds the angel thread in the room. It was a thread that was completely erased by its intangible power. Later, with the High Priest shouting, the paladins were about to make their move.

Peeing!

I grabbed the angel thread as it was.

Even a sword possessed with error is a thread to be picked up. No matter how much armor you wear, you can't stop the thread.

“Ugh, ahhhh! ”

“My arm! Arms! ”

The room quickly turned into a rubble.

Red blood and the screams of the knights blur. Together, Ferda smashed the ceiling and plunged straight into the High Priest.

He aims his fist at the neck of the high priest and whispers.

“I advise you not to act rashly. ”

I felt a tremor of fear rising from my neck.

Immediately, a cold voice followed.

“Unless you want to be like them. ”

“Ugh, ugh! ”

The High Priest's body trembled.

It seemed like I had never experienced this before, or was deeply embarrassed. However, for a moment, the High Priest immediately shouted at the direction of the Burlanes.

“Vera, Burraine! Take him down now! ”

What an ironic situation.

The High Priestess asked the commander for help. However, Burraine did not return an answer. The high priest raised his voice again, crouching his face.

“What I can't hear right now · · · · · · ·! ”

“I'm sorry, but I got hit too. ”

At that moment, Burraine's bold voice returns.

In fact, he was encased by thread. If you snap your fingers at that, your whole body will immediately collapse into pieces.

Meanwhile, the High Priest shouted with evil even though he was overwhelmed.

“If you can't move your body, use a commander! Curse him! ”

I don't think the High Priest of the Holy Land would say that.

Ferda grins as if in a dazzling smile. At the same time, Burraine's answer returned.

“That's also impossible. ”

“What, what? ”

“The ghosts next to him are out of my league. ”

After returning, Ferda unconsciously looks around.

Then I saw a faint smoke. Perhaps he had three ghosts attached to him. Meanwhile, the priest who did not know this said with a bluish face.

“What nonsense. Aaaaah!"

A sudden scream came from the High Priest's mouth.

The reason was simple: Ferda cut off his right ear with a scrub. The High Priest sighs in agonizing faces after a sudden attack.

“Ahhhh! Ugh, ugh! ”

“I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. ”

I just cut off his ear, and he's already reacting like this.

It looks like it grew up smoothly in the greenhouse. Ferda twists her mouth, whispering to the other ear.

“Nercio's been stubborn for three hours, tasting hell. ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

The High Priest's eyes trembled violently.

At the same time, Ferda's lips sprouted.

“I have three questions. First things first."

The scaffolding on the neck points toward the left ear.

Ferda brings out the questions that had been piled up.

“Tell me why the Holy See collects swords. ”

“Well, that's... Aah!”

The High Priest's left ear was cut clean off.

Soon after, the stork tapped the right hand of the high priest.

“Next is the finger. It disappears every time I hesitate. ”

Only during the torture, Ferda was impatient.

No hesitation, no mercy. Until we get the information we want, we're just repeating what we're doing to make it hurt like a machine.

“Let me ask you again. Tell me why you're gathering swords. ”

Did he realize Ferda's monstrous nature?

This time, I didn't hesitate, and the answer came straight back.

“Well, this is a mission that has existed for a long time! ”

“Details.”

“There was a trust in ancient times. This, the Seven Swords, is a catastrophe that will destroy the world, so we have to put them together and seal them up. It's a prophecy written in the Bible, and we just followed it! ”

The sword is a disaster?

Besides, it's written in the Trust, in the Bible. I felt curious and asked more questions.

“What calamity does the sword bring? ”

“Hey, I'm good up there. Rrrrgh!”

Red drops of blood were scattered.

The severed fingers then rolled the floor together. Ferda hears the High Priest scream with her expressionless face.

“For lying. The next one is the left hand.”

“Heheh heh! I mean it! I don't know what kind of disaster this is! When the seven swords became one, only the unbearable disaster was known to begin · · · · ·! ”

A completely terrified voice.

This time it looks like the truth. Ferda remembers the High Priest's words without a grain of vomit. It was to ask Rundal later.

“Where are the swords stored next? ”

“I don't know. Now, wait a minute! I'm not lying! ”

Could it be that the cold feeling of the secret was felt in my left hand?

The High Priest shouted in an urgent tone.

“I was also handed over to another carrier! I only know that it exists in the sanctuary and that those who have not received the name defend it! ”

Who has not received a name. I've heard that a lot.

Ferda, whose eyebrows twitched, asked.

“Are you talking about the nameless Cardinal? ”

“Well, yes! Yes. He is responsible for the mission of guarding the sword. ”

This was also a new fact.

I knew you were protecting the sanctuary, but the right mission was to protect the sword. Ferda narrows her eyes, recalling the two swords in the Arcane's Secret Guard.

‘I just thought it was a useful tool. ’

I can't believe the Cardinal without a name stood up to protect me.

Looks like it's more important than I thought.

‘I'll have to ask you about this later. ’

After clearing your mind, Ferda is out of her mind.

He tapped the right hand of the high priest with his scrub.

“This is the last question. ”

Maybe it was because of the word "last."

Hope springs from the High Priest's face.

“Tell me about the troops coming to Jerome. ”

The size of the troops and the estimated arrival date.

I was going to dig it all up. Only then will I be perfectly prepared.

Fortunately, the High Priest opened his mouth.

According to him, the arrival date of the Holy Land will be about a week later. It is said to dispatch 5,000 soldiers, 200 paladins, and over a hundred priests.

Then Ferda frowns.

“That's all you're sending me? ”

The Holy Land is larger than the Kingdom of Laderon.

Apparently collecting swords is a pretty important job.They only send troops that size? It didn't make any sense.

Meanwhile, the High Priest exclaimed with an unfair face.

“Tsi, it's true! I heard the Empire sends troops, so that's it! ”

This is a reasonable answer.

When I tortured Nercio, I heard that the Empire sent 100,000 troops. Ferda nodded silently.

“That's a lie.”

Suddenly, Burlane opens his mouth.

He gazes at the High Priest with his eyes wide open, grinning.

“The Holy Land sent 10,000 soldiers, 1,000 paladins, and many priests. This is only the first wave, and more than 30,000 are included in the second wave. And he said he'd be there in five days. ”

What the hell are you talking about?

Ferda's eyebrows twitch. Meanwhile, the High Priest shouted at the whale with his face covered in scarlet.

“Yes, you! Where did you get that crap? ”

“Apparently he's not planning on keeping us alive. ”

Burlane grins as he twists his mouth.

He looked down at the High Priest with laughing eyes.

“If you're going to die, you have to punch the Holy Land and die. ”

“The Bereians!”

Just looking at the High Priest's reaction, I immediately understood who was telling the truth.

Ferda pushes the High Priest to the ground roughly.

“You have nothing to do. ”

“That's a lie! What he says is a lie! ”

He struggled all the way to the end.

I stepped back, covered in the blood of the paladins.

“You can't believe an ugly commander. ”

Screaming!

A thread rushes past the High Priest's neck.

The High Priest's head falls into a pool of blood, expressing an awkward excuse. He also leans back slowly, losing his head.

Only one survives now.

Only Burraine, the commander of the Red Robe.

Puck, puck!

I stepped on the pool of blood and approached him.

A moment later, Ferda faced Burraine and asked with a dry tune.

“Did you send monsters to raid the Mission? ”

“Yes.”

Burraine admitted to the accusation.

It was a strange look, whether he had already put everything down.

“I hear you're a commander. ”

“Yes, but my specialty is not dealing with the dead. ”

After completing the answer, Burraine's eyes turn to a corner of the ceiling.

There was a dead spider, dried up in the webs.

“My specialty is the curse. And dealing with dead bugs. ”

At the end of the sentence, I felt a strange magical power in the parched spider. Immediately, the eight legs wriggle, and the spider quickly starts running through the wall as if it were alive.

Phew!

But he was also brief.

The spider's body exploded. Perhaps one of the three ghosts stepped up and took care of the spiders. Then Verlane smiled and said.

“It's how you control a bug that has been brought back to the Undead by putting it inside a monster. ”

It was the moment when it became clear why the commander was able to deal with monsters. As I nod quietly, Burlane suddenly raises his head. Then, in fact, I tightened Verlane's body even more.

But the man who had already begun to die kept lifting his head. He then opened his lips, making eye contact with Ferda.

“I offer you a deal. ”

“What? A deal? ”

Ferda said it was absurd.

A moment later, he asked with a cold bitten face.

“Do you think I'm in a position to offer you a deal right now? ”

Burlane was the one who raided in real life.

Besides, I was stuck in the Holy Land. There was no reason to keep him alive. Ferda has fixed the scepter.

But then, I heard a strange word from him.

“Take me to Silvan de Sernerk. ”

“· · · · · · · · What? ”

Ferda's face is puzzled.

Looking at this, Burlane spoke boldly.

“Then I will give you all the information on the Holy Nation of Serrhaim. ”
