Count Scribe's Tutor

Eliminate Sererheim's advance troops.

Heron reaches out, confirming there are no survivors nearby.

A dark red land. There are dead bodies all around. But we can't slow our guard down to the end. Some of the cunning people could be playing dead.

Puff! Puff!

That's why Heron put arrows in each and every one of them.

Just when I was going to keep checking like a machine.

“You can stop. There are no survivors anymore. ”

Suddenly, I hear Isha's voice.

She has a myriad of magical factions in the air. Probably detecting the presence or absence of survivors. Heron stops what he was doing immediately.

Then, Isha called again.

“But what about your homeroom teacher? ”

“Tervand and I are going to finish the job together. ”

“By the way, you said you were going to let one of the survivors live. ”

Heron nods quietly.

It was because he needed someone to tell him that the raid wasn't Sergek's sole act, it was Jerome's. Only then will the Holy Land be convinced Jerome is on Sergei's side.

“He's always thinking, but he's really evil. ”

“Agreed. Demons in human scarves are fine. ”

“Isn't that what you just said about playing with corpses? ”

“It's not a game. It was just a check for one. ”

Heron explains it in a blunt tone.

Ferda and Tervand returned at the same time as we were having a polite conversation. Returning to its original shape with the mask off.

After a while, Ferda frowns.

“Where are you going with all the realities? ”

“Oh, the Lord is experimenting. ”

“Experiment?”

What kind of experiments do you have here?

As soon as I made a curious face, the answer came straight back.

“An experiment to bring the paladin back to the Undead. ”

You know, I used to say the same thing. I wonder what it would be like to save those who worship God as undead. Ferda nods, following Isha's instructions, and takes a step toward the realm.

Not long after that.

When Ferda arrived at her destination, she removed the tent from the barracks.

“Grrrrrrrr!”

“Glug! Glug! ”

What followed was the drooling zombies and ghouls.

From the outfit, it looks like they were both paladins and priests. They were digging up the bodies of their former colleagues.

with a view of this grotesque landscape in front of it.

The tapestry sparkled dry eyes.

“Phew, they've been hiding so far because they're scared. ”

A sigh came out of my lips.

It was a sigh of regret.

“If I'd known this, I would have stepped up and gotten rid of it. ”

I had enough regrets.

It took less than two hours for Sererheim's advance troops to be wiped out.

But Ferda thought differently.

“That's an uncomfortable thought. ”

As soon as he finished, his gaze turned this way.

Isha, Heron and Tervand also look at Ferda. He said as he received everyone's gaze in one body.

“They were just fishermen assigned to the advance troops. Sererheim's true power lies in the foothold and beyond. ”

“It's the same paladin after all, right? ”

“That's right. Just more numbers. ”

Heron and Tervand protest immediately.

Ferda shakes her head and replies.

“No, there are some that are most intimidating. ”

In response, the two bundles shut up.

Ferda is strong. Far more powerful than both, Ishana Rodenhark and Kwain. In a certain sense, it is no exaggeration to say that they are the strongest among the single forces under the command of reality.

A person who is the most intimidating.

It was only one.

“· · · · · · Cardinal without name. ”

Threat came from my lips.

About five years from now.

Silver-haired paladin encountered on the Eastern Frontline in the middle of the war against the catastrophe of destruction. Who pushed Heron and Tervand into extinction and unleashed a powerful hatred on the realm.

That was the nameless Cardinal.

“But we haven't met since, right? ”

Isha sneaks in.

She shrugs.

“If you see something that hasn't shown up yet, don't you need to worry about it right now? ”

“But don't let your guard down. He could reappear any time. ”

In the past, the fifth author said:

Cardinal Anonymous won't show up for five years. Thanks to this, Ferda was able to concentrate on her practice and training with peace of mind. But five years later, the Cardinal without a name appeared at any time.

‘Maybe it's part of the back-up. ’

It was a wild guess, but it wasn't an assumption.

The Cardinal was out of his mind and out of his mind.

“That reminds me of the old days. ”

At that moment, Isha heard a strange word.

Isha smiles, looking back at Ferda.

“You said that, right? The Cardinal without a name is the Lord's only enemy. And I can't tell you where I got that information and why I think I'm an enemy right now. ”

I was surrounded by it.

Because I didn't have enough information to answer that question. To tell me about the nameless Cardinal, I had to explain that this world was actually a world of fiction.

So Ferda told me that she would answer later.

And now, at the point when the subject "Cardinal Anonymous," Isha once again asked a question.

“But now that it's been five years, isn't it time for you to tell me? ”

“I'm sorry, my answer is the same as five years ago. ”

Ferda's exact answer at the time was:

One day, when all the real threats are gone, I'll tell you the whole truth.

“Phew, I thought you'd say that. ”

Meanwhile, Isha sighs.

But even for a moment, she suddenly flashed both eyes. Like a hunter who found his prey. Then Isha's question followed.

“Then, can you tell me the secret of your homeroom teacher? ”

“My secret? ”

“· · · · · · · You're not asking because you don't know, right? ”

Aisha with a fat face.

Ferda closes her mouth and looks at her.

Could it have been a bold reaction? Isha sighs again.

“Hah, you probably know the Lord and the rest of the family, but you have so much to hide. On the contrary, there's too much information. ”

“It is obtained through Ragney. ”

“The problem is that Ragny knows information that he can't. The Cardinal without a name, as you said. So let's get one thing straight. ”

Isha steps forward.

She takes Ferda seriously.

“One day, when all the threats to the Master are gone, then I will tell you everything that the Home Teacher is hiding. What do you think?”

I feel everyone's gaze again, frightened to end Isha's words.

Among them, there was a gaze that felt poisonous. Realizing this, Ferda bursts into laughter.

‘Well, it was about time. ’

Maybe the truth is cloudy.

That you're not in this world.

You've heard of the plague of destruction from Sermer, and you've seen the condolences left by the fifth author. Perda, who took a slow breath, looked up at the sky without saying a word.

Isha said.

Tell me the truth when all the threats are gone.

‘By then. ’

You can speak freely.

Ferda nods shortly as she settles her mind.

“I see. I'll do that. ”

“Great. Whew, now I feel better. ”

Isha smiles coolly.

This was also true. It seemed like he was smiling brightly for a moment. Once the inference was shortened, this time the two bundles opened their mouths.

“Then I'd like to get back to business and ask you a few questions. ”

“The only one threatening the king is the nameless Cardinal? ”

Heron and Tervand's gaze is on Ferda.

But the answer came back from the wrong place.

“Well, no. If you think about it, there are two more. ”

It was Isha.

Meanwhile, the reality of her answer was a little surprising.

“Two? What kind of guys? ”

“The saints of the moon and the saints of the sun. ”

With the answer back, Ferda's eyes narrow.

The 5th Savior. Just before he became captivated, he appeared as an aide to the Holy Nation. That was the Holy Mother of the Sun.

At that time, the saint used the heart of the sun, the sacred object of the Church, to burn all of his troops and suns. But you will never do the same again.

‘Cause I have the heart of the sun. ’

The day all the heads of death were seized in the Frost Lake.

Ferda also acquired the heart of the sun. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the saint of the sun was excluded from the threat.

Meanwhile, she and Isha had an elongated conversation.

“I know who the saint is, but was there a saint? ”

“Yes, I didn't see it myself, but it was written in the literature. ”

“But what kind of abilities are you threatening? ”

“Based on what is written in the Bible, both the saint and the saint can contain the power of God. I think he's talking about personality. ”

Not exactly.

The saints and saints were merely beings who draw out the power contained in the holy things.

Though I could use a force similar to mine, the price was my own. So, technically, the only threat is the nameless Cardinal.

“Among them, the Sun's holy woman is the one commanders fear the most. There's a record of using the power of God to burn the unclean alive. ”

I mean, I can't do this anymore.

When he laughed deeply, he asked again.

“Then where is the Holy Mother of the Sun? ”

“I don't know about that. because the information about the saint is treated as highly confidential inside the saint country. Instead, they don't stay in the Holy Land, they're known to wander around all the time. ”

“Tsk, that's annoying. I wish we could just hang out in one place. ”

The reality mutters with all sincerity.

After a while, all the conversations ended.

Looking at the slowly brightening sky, Isha asked about the journey ahead.

“So what are you going to do now? ”

“Hnng, I originally tried to deal with the subordinates, but · · · · · ·. ”

Scratching the head with a crooked face.

After a while, he replied with a tone that he disliked it.

“It looks like there are a lot of variables, so we'd better get back to the capital. ”

“That's wise. ”

Ferda grins at the real-life decision.

Then a moment ago, the information I heard from Kalman was in my mouth.

“I heard Eloden's coming this time. ”

“Ugh, you mean the Paladin of Serrhaim I saw back then? ”

The most powerful knight in the Holy Land, who once fought with the Duke of Setia.

There were few of them. They were a threat. Of course, if you fight one-on-one, you won't lose at all.

“It is better to fight in the capital to reduce the risk as much as possible. ”

“Huh? What are you talking about? ”

Why is fighting in the capital reducing risk?

When I asked him a question, the answer came right back.

“There 'll be plenty of shields around. ”

A creepy, emotional voice.

Ferda twists her mouth and laughs.

“It'll be easy to replenish your troops again. ”

Jerome's capital soon turned into a battlefield.

And this was very advantageous for the commander, Silva.

Whether it's an enemy or an ally, we can resurrect them as undead when they die.

Where is that? In practice, it was possible to transform a human soul into a ghost. So it is better to fight in the capital than to fight in a forest with nothing.

Meanwhile, she replied as if she was stunned.

“That's right, homeroom teacher is evil. ”

“Well, I agree with you on that. ”

“The Devil will weep. ”

Isha doesn't want to hear it from the undead, though.

Ferda grins as if in a daze.

“Then let's go back. ”

To the capital of Jerome, the new battlefield.

With that said, the forces of the realm moved south.

Along with thousands of undead who were once a force in the Holy Land.
