Section 207 Informed

"And this, special anti-magic equipment from the church. "Béral wears a bracelet-like thing on his hand. "Alright, so we can go and meet the Count of Ashrufat. ”

The "informal meeting" took place in this house in Beller. The little queen of Gruni sealed the palace unused, and the former regent's mansion, which served as a temporary royal palace, was too crowded to accommodate outsiders. So now, for foreign guests, Eagle Falcon City directly chooses a house in the aristocratic district to settle in. Having said that, due to the previous coup d'état in Byron, there were many empty houses in the noble district of Eagle Falcon City.

All the preparations have been completed, and you can wait patiently for the other party to arrive. Bayrell and Robin went to the little attic at the top of the house, for there was a window where they could take a closer look before they entered.

"Look, Shogun, that should be ......"

Béral looked at the face of the man who had come from far and near, and although it had been many years apart, he had not forgotten that face. Although Bayer was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but stare at the visitor's face.

It was indeed the man he met by chance in Mill City and claimed to be a disciple of Thomas.

Beller looked at the new scar on his face—the one on Ashrufat's face was so conspicuous that anyone who saw him at first sight couldn't help but be drawn to it. This scar is very lucky, if it is half a point higher, then Ashrufat's eyes will be wasted, and if it is half a point, his nose will be cut off by half and the phase will be broken, and if it is three points deeper, Ashrufat will be able to retire to the cemetery with honor. But the scar was just so impartial, it didn't hurt him too much, it just left an impressive mark on him.

Bayrell made several speculations about the scar in an instant, but he rejected them one by one.

"Alright, Robin, the guest has arrived, and I think it's time for us to meet him. ”

As Bayral pushed the door open and walked into the small room where he was meeting, he noticed Aeshurufat's slightly stunned gaze. It wasn't Beller's face that made him look like this, but the way he dressed him. As mentioned earlier, Béral was now fully clothed, not so much a negotiation as he intended to go to war. The guards around Bayrell rushed in, occupying all positions in the room. If it weren't for the fact that this was the city of the Eagle Falcon, and that they were having an "informal" negotiation without any danger, Ashrufat might have thought it was a feast.

"Count Eshurufat?" Beller's expression was as bright as the sun, but in fact his eyes were fixed on Eshurufat's face, carefully grasping even the slightest change in his face.

"It's me, you're supposed to be General Bayor, and you've been known for a long time......

Ashrufat's expression was indeed the one that was seeing someone for the first time. Bayral made his judgment right away. If this is a performance, then this person is inevitably a little too powerful.

"Where, where! It's just a false compliment. Bayral made a gesture. "There is no need to be polite about vulgar etiquette and the like. Truth be told, it's nice to see you again. ”

Béral was pleased to see a very noticeable shake on Ashrufat's face.

"General Bayer...... You ......"

"Tell me the truth, Your Excellency," said Béral, in a classic business-like tone. "As you know, the main reason why I proposed such a meeting is to exchange some issues for our formal consultations and to reach a consensus one step earlier. In this way, we will be able to effectively reduce red tape, so that our army can reach the battlefield one step earlier and defeat those barbaric invaders......"

It must be noted that no matter what tone Beller spoke, his eyes never left Ashrufat's face.

"General Baylor. Ashrufat finally couldn't hold back, and instead of paying attention to the topic of the two sides, he immediately began to ask what he really cared about. "You just said ...... You've seen me before?"

"Well, there was a one-sided relationship. However, it seems that His Excellency the Earl has forgotten the last time we met. But it's no wonder that maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part...... After all, we can't keep everything we encounter on the road in mind, can we?"

"It's not...... Lord Beller," Ashruphat changed his name. "I'm sorry, but I ...... before For some reason, the injury caused me to lose my memory. ”

"Ahh Robin stood to the side, so he was able to see the changes in the expressions of both sides at the same time, and couldn't help but give his general's acting ability the highest score.

It's not a big secret that Aerufat has lost his memory, in fact, after Byron's rebellion, Béral learned about Aerufat's information for the first time.

"I'm really sorry, but ......" Beller looked sincere. "I don't know what to do......"

"Lord Belle, I want to know something. Ashrufat said. "My past self...... That is, I ...... before I lost my memory" He suddenly realized the meaning of Bayer's words just now, Bayral and the past him should only have one side, maybe there are not many things to know.

"I want to ask, where did we meet?" asked Ashrufat. "It's presumptuous, but I'd love to know it...... What was I like in the past. ”

"In Mill City, in fact. A little north of West Vania...... "Béral whetted the other man's appetite and finally spoke. "I was appointed Governor of Mill City at the time, and I met you by chance during a case. At that time, you had a beautiful black steed and a half-beast as a servant. Bayral smiled, seemingly casually. "We met late and talked for a long time. Unfortunately, I, as Governor, cannot leave my post, and you cannot stop as you are on your journey. So we had a good talk, but in the end we broke up with regrets. ”

"I ...... What do you do?"

"Well, by me, a mercenary. While saying the word "mercenary", Bayral noticed a noticeable change in Ashrufat's face. "In fact, you were working as a guard at the time...... Be someone's bodyguard. For mercenaries, it's a decent job. ”

Mercenaries also have undecent jobs, which are robbery, extortion and kidnapping. Except for these few, the others are decent jobs.

"By the way, you had a half-beast servant at that time, and I was very impressed. There aren't many people who can be the companion of half-beasts. ”

"Half-beast...... "After Asheruphat woke up from amnesia, he had nothing to look at. There are no horses and no half-beasts. Of course, it's normal not to have a horse...... But the half-beast servant ......

"Your Excellency Bellor, at that time...... The last time we broke up...... Where am I going? I mean, did I mention it to you at the time?"

"Oh, you said, you're going to Sylvania...... It seems to be looking for someone. Bayral replied. "But it didn't take long for that to happen in West Vania...... Maybe the people of Eagle Falcon City have heard about the vampire rebellion. If I'm not mistaken," Beller said thoughtfully. "You joined the army of vampires. ”

Everyone knows about this. A vampire who calls himself the Scarlet Duke suddenly revolts in Sivania. With surprise tactics and a large army of undead, the vampires conquered all of West Vania in one fell swoop. Although the Ryan fought against the vampires in order to regain the land, they suffered a catastrophic defeat in the decisive battle, and almost all of them were wiped out. Because of this, Ryan's various domestic opposition forces jumped out, causing the country to fall into a civil war and suffer heavy losses. Although Bayer participated in this war, this defeat did not damage the honor of Bayor's victorious general, but added a brilliant stroke to his personal career as a general. Because everyone admitted afterwards that the reason for the defeat was that Ryan's commander was stubborn and refused to listen to Bayor's correct advice, which turned a war that was supposed to be won into a big defeat. And Bayor's outstanding performance in the war, whether it is the clever use of troops in the early stage, or the calm and calm cleaning up the mess in the later stage, is very good. This incident has long been recorded in various historical books, so Ashruphat is also familiar with it.

"I'm joining the vampires?"

"Ah, it's not a shameful thing. As a mercenary, you have the possibility of being hired by various targets. Mercenaries fight for commissions. It's normal for a vampire to pay a commission and hire you to work for him. Bayral said lightly.

Through this seemingly unintentional temptation, he had slowly conceived a rough outline of the situation in front of him. But old questions are answered, and new ones are born.

"You...... Did you see me on the battlefield?" Ashrufat asked, a little reluctant.

"No, I actually see your half-beast servant. Bayral replied. Many doubts, worries, and incomprehensions have been answered, but Beller has become more and more careful in his words. "Since the half-beast is working for the vampires, it means that you must have joined the vampire camp. But to be honest, in that war, although the main force of the vampire was an undead army, he had many humans under his command who worked for him. This has not changed even now. ”

Beller suddenly laughed. "I'm really envious of vampires. The Half-Beast Clan is the best Scout in the world, and it can only be said that it is good luck to be able to hire you and the Half-Beast to serve him before the war. ”

"Yes......" replied Ashrufat, a little stunned.

"The Half-Beast ......"

"Your Excellency, I haven't seen any half-beasts since I woke up from amnesia. Ashrufat replied. "I don't know what the reason is...... But I thought, maybe the half-beast had already broken up with me. Perhaps that's why I left Sivania and came to Gruni's side. ”

"It's normal. Bayral nodded in acknowledgement. "The book says that although the lifespan of half-beasts is close to that of humans, they do not really live with humans for long. They operate in the Anthropocene primarily out of curiosity. When the curiosity of the half-beasts is finally satisfied, or if they start to miss their homeland, then they will leave. ”

I...... Mercenary, half-beast, Ashruphat tried to remember, but couldn't think of anything.

"Well, actually, I have something to tell you. Bayral suddenly had a mysterious expression.

"Oh? ”

"The vampire who took over Sivania, the one who called himself the Scarlet Duke......" Beller said. "His name seems to be Ashrufat, too!"
