Count Scribe's Tutor

Chapter 92

The dawn of the Great War

Late morning.

After having a conversation with Ferda, she returns to her room. I was pretty tired, but I couldn't get into bed right now. It was because I had work left to do. He sits by the window and draws his sword as he changes into a convenient outfit.

The archaeological mastermind.

to talk to the person who was in it.

“Rundall, come out for a second. ”

Not long after Ferda's words were finished.

The blade trembles. Soon I heard a familiar voice.

[What's going on? Contractor.]

“Do you know what the Saint's sword was? ”

Ferda gets to the point.

On the other hand, Rundall answered quietly, not embarrassed.

[Of course. He was kept in the sanctuary with me.]

Then you must know him well.

At the twinkling of an eye, the story of Rundall continues.

[He is the sword that hunts forever, Liridel Ios. He's a bit picky and mouthy, but he's as talented as he is.]

The sword that we have met so far was the same as the sword's ability to put a modifier in front of it. Like Franc's unbreakable sword, or the sword that erases Rundall's existence.

But I couldn't feel the power of this Lyridel guy.

When I thought of his curious expression, I asked him a question instead.

What do you mean, the sword that chases forever?]

[Literally. Anyone who is hurt by him cannot escape his sight. Hide the clues or hide them with magic.]

Then the question was solved.

Ferda opens her eyes as if she understood what Rundall meant.

“That means · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

[Look in the mirror over there.]

Rundall points at the wall with his blade pointed at the mirror.

As you move forward and look in the mirror, you see a small wound on your cheek. Wounds from being attacked by a saint. It wasn't deep enough, and it was just an easy wound to wear anywhere.

Then Rundall spoke.

[If you take me to the wound, you'll see something special.]

Ferda simply listens to him.

As I put the sword to my cheek, Rundall's magic spills out.

A moment later, an amazing thing happened.

“This is · · · · · · · · ·! ”

The scars on his cheeks began to sparkle silver.

I could not help but glisten as if it were covered in stardust. I touched it with my face just in case, but I didn't feel much.

[That's the mark.]

Then you hear Rundall's voice.

[Scars that will never be erased unless the sword is sealed or the contractor is changed. As long as the sun's holy woman lives, you will never escape her sight.]

In other words, it is the same as a multipurpose location tracking device.

Ferda frowns.

“Now the assassination is wrong. ”

We'll be able to locate them in real time if we leave the castle immediately.

So what do we do now? As my head aches with the feeling of new worries, Rundall vomits a low sinking voice.

[And I still care about something.]

Frank showed interest in the serious tone of speech.

What is it?]

[It's very faint, but I feel one more of the spirit of the sword.]

There were others with swords besides the Holy Ghost?

Ferda is out of her mind because of the intriguing words.

[Huh, you don't even know what kind of sword it is.]

[No, this is different. He is a powerful sword that can sense his presence from a long distance.]

“What kind of sword? ”

Asking as if curious, Rundall replies as if he was waiting.

[The sword that cuts through everything, Kardar Noveim.]

I've heard that name somewhere.

When I remembered it, I suddenly remembered it.

‘Yes, Burraine said. ’

When talking about the sword, it was clearly a sword that was recovered from the desert seven years ago. Even space is memorable because of its ability to go.

[We are a weapon made long, long ago by the divine beings who rule this land to ward off one another. Me and Prussian were made by the lords of all dragons.]

This is another story I've heard from Burraine.

What was written in the original Bible. Three masters claimed they used their power to make swords.

On the other hand, Frank was startled by what Rundall said.

So you're saying we're brothers?]

[Yeah, I don't think you remember because you're an idiot.]

[Man, I'm not an idiot!]

Francis yells loudly, but Rundall ignores you lightly.

And then he kept talking.

[Back to the point, Liridel Ios and Kardar Novehim were also born from the existence of the Mother of Life.]

There is only one person with the name "Mother of Life."

It was only Sermer, the world's second disaster.

[But unlike Liedel, Kardar was loved by the Creator.]

“You've been loved a lot? ”

What's that supposed to mean?

Rundal corrects his words as he tilts his head.

[No, you'd better say you inherited the most of the Creator's power. That is, Kardar is the most powerful of the two swords I know, except for the other two.]

There are four swords known to Rundall.

Franc is now in Ferda's sword, Elhart, the first sword mentioned one day, and Lyridel, the Saint's sword, and Kardar, who just said it.

With the most powerful of them all, you feel anxious for some reason. Rundall then said in a voice that still sank heavily.

[Be careful. He's a very dangerous opponent.]

Ferda nods at the warning again.

I don't think I'll be able to sleep well tonight. I gazed quietly at the sky beyond the northern gate with a mischievous face.

About two days after that.

The most powerful shaman in the Norse Empire.

An Imperial army led by Lohan arrives at the castle.

* * *

Early in the morning, there were many flags flaring at the north gate of the city.

A silver flag intersecting the sun and the cross. It was the flag of the Norse Empire. Subsequently, an enormous force of about 100,000 people filled his vision.

Meanwhile, around that time,

Eloden, the commander of Sererheim's army, was on the lead.

It was to meet the commander leading the Imperial Army. While waiting with a slightly stiff face, the troops split in two from the center of the Imperial Army.

Bummer!

Immediately, someone walked out of the room.

The golden hair that looks like it's full of sunlight and the cyan eyes that are full of mysterious light. A woman wearing a blue skirt with a silver cane.

It was Lohan Sen Rahu Norka.

“Greetings, Lohan ball. ”

Eloden, who found her, asked for a handshake first.

Then, he added a brief self-introduction.

“I am Eloden, commander of the Sererheim army. ”

“I am Lohan Sen Haruna Norca, commander of the Imperial Army. ”

Lohan holds Eloden's hand.

Her hands were so soft. It's like I didn't even know I was in trouble. He's one of the most powerful men in the empire? As Eloden's eyes narrow, she speaks.

“I am also pleased to meet Sir Eloden, who is famous for his presence. because it had spread to our continent across the sea. ”

With a formal greeting, Lohan grins.

“Sachsen especially wanted to meet, but I'm here instead. ”

Sachsen Houlaka. In the name of the most powerful warrior in the empire, Eloden's gaze flashes for a moment. He was also a knight walking the path of the sword, so the appearance of the enemy was of course of interest.

“Too bad. I've always wanted to meet a tough ball. ”

“I'm sure we'll see each other after this war. If it's hard, don't worry. I'll be happy to arrange a seat. ”

“Hahaha! Thank you for that. I look forward to it."

A big smile comes out of Eloden's mouth.

It was a real smile.

After the awkward atmosphere was somewhat resolved, she suddenly looked worried.

“I heard there was an attack a few days ago. ”

“Yes. The tyranny of evil plagues has raided the camp. ”

Eloden's face crumples.

A moment later, he replied with a heavy sigh.

“Cardinal Delvat and Lord Kellan beside the escort were killed. He even attacked the Lady of the Sun, but fortunately, I was able to push her into her base. ”

“Hehe, perhaps the raiders didn't know. that the Holy Mother was once called the Sword Genius in the Empire. ”

The Holy Mother of the Sun is the first Empress of the Norse Empire.

And in the past, he was famous for his talents in the sword. In fact, she possessed the skills of a four-star paladin and her swordsmanship.

Unlike Lohan, who smiled as if it was funny, Eloden still had a firm look on his face. He then sighs heavily and opens his mouth.

“But I wasn't ashamed to catch it. ”

“Oh, you mean where Lord Eloden is? ”

“Yes, because of the plague of dishonesty." ”

With a misleading answer, Lohan's eyes sparkle.

It was a look of intense interest and interest.

“By disaster, you mean Silvan de Sernerk. ”

“Did you know? ”

“Of course. It's quite famous among our shamans. He's the closest thing to God to any existing wizard. ”

In Roman's words, Eloden's eyes frowned.

because they dared to ascribe a false plague to God. Lohan also made a hasty correction to see if he had noticed it later.

“Oh, of course, there was no intention of insulting our God. It's just a silly story floating among shamans. Don't worry too much. ”

Even in the late excuses, Eloden's expression did not show.

At the time of such an uncomfortable atmosphere, Eloden briefly clears her throat.

“Hmmm! Let's cut to the chase, then. ”

“The point?”

“I see. Shouldn't we be working on a plan? ”

Operation was imperative as the war was imminent.

Above all, the soldiers of the Holy Kingdom and the Norse Empire were unable to even speak, except for Lohan and some of the other merchants. The language was different.

So a detailed plan of action was essential for a smooth combat.

But the idea of ROONA was different.

“Is that really necessary? ”

“What? What's that noise? ”

“Lord Eloden knows better, but I don't have any information on the enemy yet. How powerful a commander Silvan de Sernerk is, and how many of his clans and subordinates there are. ”

What the hell are you talking about?

Eloden frowns.

“So we're planning a mission to tell you that, right? ”

The Holy Nation already had data on practical power, belonging, and the size of the servants. It was written based on the testimonies of those who faced the previous practice.

So I decided to build an operation based on it.

However, Lona rarely accepted Eloden's opinion.

“No, there's a better way. ”

“A sure way? ”

And I said, "Yeah, I'm going to bump into it. ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Eloden's eyes widen.

It was because I knew exactly what her intentions were. Meanwhile, Lona continued to talk with a smile on her face.

“It's better to go through it directly than to hear it from others. ”

“Ha, but the Lohan Ball has just arrived, hasn't it? Rest a little more. ”

“It's okay. My troops aren't that weak. ”

I couldn't believe it.

After just saying what he had to say, Lohan got up from his seat.

“Here, Lord Eloden. Order the paladins to prepare for battle. ”

Turning around, Lohan extends his arms.

Then I looked up at the red bitten sky and smiled.

“Start a war on our gods. ”
