"Master, there is a communication, it was sent by Neil. In her mind, Carrie suddenly reminded. “

Before his eyes, a picture appeared, of Neil standing in some uninhabited field.

"Lord Duke, I have inquired about the situation of Ryan's army. The king has declared the commander-in-chief of the army to be Prince Leto, and General Berel, whom you have reminded him in particular, is his lieutenant. Given that Leto doesn't have any experience in the military, I think that Leto is only a nominal manager, and Bayor is the actual commander of the military. ”

"As for the size of the army, at least six corps have been identified. If with normal equipment, then the total number of Ryan's troops will not be less than eighty thousand. At the same time, I heard that the army is equipped with a new type of cannon called the 'Wind Cannon', which is extremely powerful......"

"There's a problem," Ashrufat interrupted. Now, it seems that Carrie has further developed the power of the castle, so that he can talk directly to people from afar without having to come to those inexplicable devices. "Is the Bayral thing credible?"

"The appointment is public. Neil replied. "And this kind of thing is not without precedent - let the incompetent imperial relatives wear the title of supreme commander to supervise and reap the credit, and the specific military affairs are taken care of by others. ”

"Why do you think Beller would be the de facto commander?" asked Ashrufat.

"General Bayrell is a well-known general and has the title of 'Vampire Slayer', having once been the commander of the coalition forces on the expedition to Callean. Neil replied. By this time, Neil had come to understand that Essrubat was the kind of person who didn't have any taboos, especially on the topic of Kalean - Essrufar didn't seem to have any feelings about the fall of Kalean and the death of the queen in battle, even if others casually discussed it in front of him. "Prince Leto, on the other hand, had no experience in commanding large armies, and was not the kind of man known for his wisdom. Neither the nobles nor the commoners had a good evaluation of his abilities. Half thought he was just a mediocre aristocrat, relying on blood and luck to get to where he is today. Taken together, this conclusion is easy to draw. ”

"Master, your heart is shaking?" suddenly interjected in Carrie's mind.

Ashrufat did his best to keep his complexion unchanged. Thomas said that as a general, you must be calm. If the general is calm, his subordinates will at most waver, if the general wavers, his subordinates will panic, and if the general panics, his subordinates will collapse.

"I will write a letter for the rest of the details and deliver it to you as soon as possible. Neil said. Although this long-distance communication device is easy to use, the farther the distance, the shorter the time it can be able to talk. So when it comes to details, the use of letters is a very useful addition.

Neil's image vanished.

"Master, what do you think......" Carrie asked in a whisper.

"The worst happened. Ashrufat let out a sigh that he didn't know whether he was laughing at himself or sighing. "If it's Bayer...... Can't I get rid of the lock?"

"I'm sorry, master. I haven't found a way yet, and the only way is for you to kill the magician with whom you're sent. Carrie replied. "But I've found a way to temporarily disturb your senses that have been effective. ”

"Disrupting the senses?"

"By changing the wavelength...... Let him feel your presence, but not your specific location. But I'm afraid this is only temporary, and if I'm right, sooner or later he will be able to adapt to the situation and feel your place again. I'm afraid that the final solution is to kill him. ”

It's a pity...... The magician ran faster than a rabbit. As soon as Ashruphat arrived in Mill City, he sensed that the magician had fled from the Hambin army and fled towards Ryan's homeland. It's fast enough for any pursuer to be out of reach. From this point on, the magician seemed to be very important. The Church provided him with sufficient sources of information and contingency to ensure his safety.

Based on this phenomenon, Carrie judged that the so-called "magic lock" was not a magic that could be cast at will. If magic locking is something that can be done easily, then the church won't bother with this god and just send someone to lock it at most.

"You don't have to be like that," Carrie reassured. "I know that Bayor is dangerous, but he's not necessarily the actual commander anyway. This part is only Neil's personal opinion, and the probability is only eighty-three percent......"

"Don't comfort me," Ashruphat replied calmly. "And whether Bayrell is actually in charge of the command, we will know right away. ”

"Oh?" asked Carrie, seemingly curious.

"Time ......," Ashrufat explained in his mind. "I set up a little trap in Mill City. If it was Bayer, I believe he would have seen through it at a moment and had the perfect strategy to deal with it. If it was Leto, he would have been fooled. ”

"Master, if it's really Bayrell commanding the army......"

"Even if it's him, I have a chance!" said Ashrufat, who came to the map hanging on the wall. "This path is my chance!" he pointed to the path that had been occupied by dragons. It was the raid launched through this road that allowed him to defeat the Bin. And this time, once again, he pointed his finger at the path.

"Well, what was the little trap you just mentioned?" asked Carrie again. However, she did not wait for Ashrufat to answer, and immediately changed the subject. "The host, Leia was at the door. ”

Ashrufat turned around and found that Leia was there. He then remembered that he had been back to the castle for almost two days, but he had been in his study and had not seen anyone.

Wearing a thin silk pajamas, Leia stood at the door of the study, holding the door with her hands, but she didn't dare to come in, just carefully watching the situation inside. Her look was so pitiful that it was like a frightened bird, and Ashrufat couldn't harden his heart to drive her away. Of course, there is no need to rush away.

"Léa. Ashrufat shouted in a low voice.

In fact, he did not want to see her, because he had just fought a battle with her kindred, killed countless people, and the rest either surrendered or were captured. Meeting Scarlet or Leia now always makes him feel a little guilty and uncomfortable. Especially Leia, and Ashruphat were figuring out how to explain this.

"The hosts. Leia cautiously walked in. Her expression was exactly the opposite of what Eshurufat had expected, there was no anger, no confusion, and no such feeling of being full of worries and forcing a smile on her face. Lhea had the look of doing something wrong at the moment. If it were a completely irrelevant person standing aside and observing, he would probably come to the conclusion that Leia had done something sorry for Ashrufat, and she had come to apologize at this moment.

"I told you you didn't have to call me master. Ashrufat replied. "You don't owe me anything, you're free. ”

"War...... Is it over?" asked Léa in a soft voice. She looked at Ashrufat, but she couldn't see through the other's deliberately disguised indifference. There seemed to be something sparkling in the corner of her eye—and suddenly, Ashrufat realized that Leia's expression wasn't fake, but that she was genuinely scared.

However, Ashrufat could not understand the source of her fear for a moment, so he could only watch her quietly.

"Master, you really don't know women. In her head, Carrie let out an exclamation. "In this regard, you can fully afford the title of 'Wooden Man'. ”

"Do you know the way?"

"She's scared that you'll be angry with her because of the Hama affair!" Carrie sighed again. "Women are very sensitive, and they can intuitively understand a man's emotions. Especially an insecure girl like her. ”

"It's not her fault? she didn't participate in the war or the planning, and she took the initiative to stand on my side. What is there for her to be afraid of?"

"Master, see that the wall is not. I recommend that you hit your head a hundred times, this will make you a little smarter in this regard. Carrie said honestly and unceremoniously, with a very strong smell of hating iron and not steel. "Forget it, even if you don't understand, at least you should do something in this situation, instead of looking at her stupidly here. ”

Ashrufat reached out and hugged the girl in front of him. Leia didn't resist at all, but leaned over with a gentle pull, and her body hugged him tightly. Leia's head rested on his chest, and his hands wrapped around Leia's slender body, and through the thin clothes, he could clearly feel the slight tremor coming from his hands. She was really scared.

In the next moment, Ashruphat held her tightly in his arms.

"What are you afraid of?" he asked in a low voice, caressing the girl's body with his hand.

This time, he could clearly hear the girl's sobs.

"This skin-to-skin distance allows me to make a link in my thinking. In her mind, Carrie said. "I'm going to read, transform, simulate her mind and make it what you can understand. ”

All at once the scenery around them darkened. Because of his dark vision, Ashruphat had almost forgotten what it was like to be "dark". It was only when he happened to close his eyes that he could feel the utter darkness beneath his eyes. This is not actually darkness, but nothingness, everything does not exist, the eyes naturally cannot see anything, and this "seeing nothing" forms darkness. Ashruphat realized that it was some kind of illusion that Carrie had created for him, just like Wendini had done before.

However, it was only a brief moment, so short that before Ashrufat could recover from the darkness, he saw a picture appear in front of him.

Out of the darkness came a light from nowhere, and in the midst of that light, Léa sat with her head bowed with her hands on her knees.

"Witch's child!" suddenly a voice shouted. Then a myriad of voices burst out. "Your mother cursed us ......" "Her mother is a vicious witch...... every voice is filled with hostility, hatred, contempt, and insult.

The girl hugged her knees and sat quietly. There was no refutation or resistance, but silently endured all this.
