(To correct a mistake, in the previous verse, Fana actually did not know the name of Ashrufat.) This is a mistake left by me during the plot revision process, thanks to my friends for pointing it out)

Section 72 Warning

The tavern at dusk is filled with the smell of tobacco and spirits. Downstairs, the hall was filled with the rough shouts of the people, mixed with the laughter of women.

The upstairs seating was much better, at least it didn't smell of the pesky bad tobacco. As long as the doors and windows are not opened, the interior of each box is quiet, which is perfect for friends to talk to each other.

"Here,!" Gray raised his glass. The two of them touched the glass again, and he had already drunk a lot, and he had three points of wine. "Cheers to my bad luck, to my hopeless future!" Gray let out a burst of incomprehensible laughter. Although in the eyes of Ashrufat, this burst of laughter was really worse than crying.

“...... I'm really sorry to hear that. Ashrufat carefully chose his words. The man named Gray was a businessman, or the head of a chamber of commerce's branch in Brassian City. Of course, according to Gray himself, this is a thing of the past.

"I'm completely finished!" Gray lamented. "I've been doing it for twenty years...... I didn't expect to look away from the ......"

Originally, it was just a chance meeting in this city, but Gray dragged Aerufat over for a drink. Although Ashrufat was initially a little wary, it didn't seem to be another trap, in fact the whole thing was just a man in extreme distress who needed someone to talk to and complain about.

Gray had already told Ashrufat about his tragedy. In fact, it was simple: in order to expand the business scale and open up the situation in the city of Brassian, Gray spent a lot of effort to get a letter of introduction from a local celebrity that allowed him to meet with the governor of the city. It's just that the governor is temporarily absent because he went to the royal city to report on his work. There is no doubt that in Gray's opinion, he only needs to wait for the Governor to return to have a formal meeting with him, and then he will be able to get the long-awaited opportunity for a business breakthrough. However, at this time, Gray was under a lot of pressure within the Chamber of Commerce because of the delay in opening the situation, and after receiving this letter of introduction, he quickly reported this meeting that had not yet happened to his superiors as a completed achievement.

Unfortunately, Gray was an outsider, he came from the south, so he had no understanding of the traditions of the province of Arcanea, where if a governor was ordered to report to the royal city, it meant that he would be transferred—an unwritten convention. Locals have long been accustomed to it. In other words, that letter of introduction suddenly became waste paper and was worthless. And Gray's report to his superiors has become his enemy, a lethal weapon for those rivals within the Chamber of Commerce to attack him.

Before the chance meeting with Ashrufat today, Gray had already obtained the preliminary results of the disposition. No matter how many reasons Gray had, no matter how much bitterness he had, such a blatant lie (coupled with the reality that the situation had not been opened up for a long time) was intolerable to the top of the chamber. Just two days before Ashrufat left for Wallonia, Gray was ordered to come here and wait for the worst of the worst to be dealt with. And this decision was not surprising at all - he had already been stripped of his position as head of the Brasian City chapter before Gray and Esseurofat met by chance. All he had to do now was to return to Brassian City, pack his bags, and wait for his successor to bring the final result of his disposition. At best, he will have to spend his life counting goods in the warehouse, or sitting at the window counter counting the money, just like those employees who have just started in the industry. If he is unlucky, he will have to walk away and lose his annuity and pension.

“...... So I'm done, completely finished. Gray's face was full of vicissitudes and he looked at Ashrufat. "It was so easy for me to get this position...... I thought I could...... I can use Brassian City as a starting point for my new step, and I can even become a senior member of the Chamber of Commerce, to become a ......," he was so frustrated that he couldn't go on.

"Fate won't be so cruel. Ashrufat said. "You have to think about the good place. Fate is sometimes light and sometimes dark, and the two are always intertwined. ”

Speaking of which, he doesn't really have a special liking for Gray. But when a person sees that those whom he loites are struck beyond the scope of his hatred, he always feels pity. "As long as you live, you have hope, don't you?"

As he said this, Ashrufat couldn't help but touch the bridge of his nose. He has a striking scar on the bridge of his nose from a sword. Anyone could have seen that if this blow had advanced by one or two points at that time, then Asherufat would not have existed in this worldly realm.

"But what I've been working for, my future, everything about me is ruined!" Gray cried out in pain. "It took all my strength to get to where I am today, but at this moment the dirt under my feet, the solid ground has all turned into nothing! My life's dream is to become the head of a branch, and I want to see how much strength I can reach...... But I didn't think that my path was over before it began......"

He was grumbling, completely unaware of the sudden flash of an unusual light in Ashrufat's eyes.

"By the way, Mr. Grey......"

"Just call me Gray, I may not be 'sir' again. Gray shook the empty wine glass in his hand and said with a wry smile.

"I had an interesting encounter on this trip. Ashrufat said. "I actually found a person who didn't need to eat...... Drink only water, don't eat? Actually, you don't even need to drink water. ”

"A trick to deceive, huh?"

"It's possible to be a liar. But you just said that you have traveled half of the world and have seen a lot, do you really have such a special ability in the world world?"

"Theoretically, yes. Gray replied nonchalantly. "If it's a holy knight, it's possible. You know, many of the Holy Knights have some strange divine powers. ”

"The strength of the Holy Knights...... I've heard that these divine powers are the strength of battle. ”

"Not necessarily. I once knew a Holy Knight who didn't have the amount of power he possessed. He has a super vision, even better than the Eagles. He could stand on the wall and count the number of leaves on a tree a mile away. I've also heard of a holy knight whose divine power is so powerful that he doesn't need sleep. In short, if you look through the church books, you will know the truth, and you have all kinds of strange abilities. ”

Is it the power of the gods...... Ashrufat pondered the word. As he recalled the phrase "Divine Powers", a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind - he was suddenly reminded of a past event: he had fought against the Holy Knights in the past. But all he could remember was the incident itself, and he couldn't remember the details of the battle at all.

"Holy Knight...... Aren't they all faithful servants of the gods of the astral field?" asked Ashruphat tentatively.

"Some are, some don't. Gray was already five points drunk, and his speech became very direct and unabashed. "According to my friend, he doesn't know why the knight suddenly receives the favor of the gods and gains strength. This amount of power comes without warning, and it's not because you're very religious that you get it. In fact, there are some guys with anti-bones who have suddenly received the power of God's favor. Despite the best efforts of the Church to conceal it, it is true that some Holy Knights with divine powers have turned their backs on the Church...... Of course, since the fall of Ornon to the Greenskins and the destruction of the Holy Knights, this has become impossible to pursue. Now, the new archbishop has finally reached a compromise with the Shem, agreeing not to re-form the Holy Order. So you see, all the godly died on the battlefield, but the traitors were spared...... In fact, there are too many unfair things in this world. As the priests say, the will of the gods is unpredictable......"

After saying goodbye to Gray, Ashruphat returned to the hotel. As usual, he was not sleepy, even though it was late and he had drunk a lot of wine.

Holy Knights, Divine Powers, Dark Magic...... These words seemed to be mixed in his mind, lingering. Today, he got something out of this flash of inspiration, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't get more.

I've fought with those Holy Knights...... Why would I fight the Holy Knights? Of course, I am a dark mage, a mortal enemy of the Church. But why send the Holy Knights to hunt them down? Unless there is a coincidence, the Church will not send the Holy Knights to hunt down the Dark Mage, but will use the power of the local government. Did I also be a holy knight? No, according to Aunt Mary and the two sisters, I should have been a mercenary captain. Anyone can be a mercenary, and this is one of the few groups in the world that no matter how they come from, no matter how they come from......

In other words, the reason why I don't need to eat and sleep is because I used to be a holy knight with the power of the gods, but because of the cultivation of black magic, I must find a way to escape in order to prevent revealing the stuff...... So in the process of escaping, he was chased and killed by his companions. However, maybe because of my talent, or maybe because I got the power of a strong god, I finally killed the pursuers and successfully escaped?

Ashrufat thought slowly, describing a clear trajectory of life for the self before losing his memory. All his own doubts were reasonably explained.

He breathed a sigh of relief. After solving the mystery, he suddenly felt that he should get some sleep. So he closed his eyes, and the next moment he fell into that light sleep.

......

The distance between Brasian and Wallonia is really not that far, and the travel between the two cities can only be regarded as a short trip. Even without hurrying, it only takes ten days to walk. If you have a horse or a carriage and are willing to spend a little more time on the road at night, then the actual time spent on the road is only two days. So, it didn't take long for Ashrufat to return to the castle outside Brassian. The castle that belonged to him. At this moment, the relevant procedures have been completed, and all aspects are complete, so there is no need to worry about situations like the two sisters' manor. In fact, even the Dale Knight himself has left this small place and is working hard for his own future.

He led the exhausted horses into the stable. Then went inside the castle. He vaguely felt that something was not right in the atmosphere, as he was sure that he had made a lot of noise when he returned, but neither Hoshiki nor Hoshimi reacted. If they went out, then their carriage was in the yard.

The two sisters were waiting for him at the end of the passage. It must be said that the expression does not resemble that of a wife welcoming her husband home, or a woman's expression when she waits for her lover to return.

"Is there anything you want, why do you want to show such an expression?" said Ashrufat, who walked up to the two sisters. Hoshiki still stood in front with his chest straight, while Hoshimi was slightly hidden behind his sister.

"You've been seen going to Walloni with Lanny. Xingke said. "I want to know the truth. ”

"The truth is ......," Ashrufat began to feel a little headache. "That's true. She was leaving the city of Brassian, and she ran into me on the way. So I gave her a ride, did her a little favor, and got her on the mail bus. ”

"Is that all?"

"Am I not trustworthy?" said Ashrufat, smiling bitterly. "That's really it. He hugged them while they weren't looking, one in one hand, and kissed them on the cheeks in turn. Then it dawned on him that he had either been instructed in how to deal with women, or that he had a lot of experience with women.

"Actually, I went to Wallonia this time, in addition to running errands, I also learned about things by the way. Ashrufat said. Both sisters broke free of him, but both blushed.

"What do you know?"

"Find out what's to come. Ashrufat said. "In about two months, the new governor of the city of Brasian will be in office. I heard that it was an old nobleman who was very old and on the verge of retirement. I think this is a retirement place. In addition, the new sheriff of Brassian City has been confirmed, and he will be here in ten days. The sheriff ...... If I'm not mistaken, it's a native of the city of Brasian. He paused. "This personnel appointment and dismissal is within the normal scope, and there should be no special reason. ”

"What are you talking about...... What do you know about this?" asked Starcar, a little strangely.

"I hate to say that, but I don't think our crisis is over yet. ”

"Crisis, what crisis?"

"It's about the crisis of the estate. Ashrufat strengthened his tone. "I'm sure there are people who covet our estate. ”

"For what?" Xingke was a little puzzled. "That manor of ours, the one that my aunt gave us?"

"For some unspeakable reason, of course. Ashrufat replied with a smile. "Io is just one of the pawns, or a minion is more suitable. I believe this is because they know that there is a great treasure hidden in this manor. ”

"Ancient treasures, really?"

"Some people think it's true. They won't die if they don't dig it up again. ”

"But...... But Io has ...... Dead! Who can now question the right to inheritance?"

"So we don't know what other means they have!" replied Ashrufat. "But since the new governor and sheriff are fine......" he said, his eyes turned to the window beside him. From this window, you can see the greenery of the lake. "Then this attack may have come from a place that we didn't expect. ”

"Is there really an ancient treasure?"

"I don't know. Ashrufat replied. "But they seem to be convinced of this. ”

"Well, they won't sneak ......"

"No, I believe that treasure digging work is a big project, and it can't be hidden. If they didn't have the consent of the landowners, they wouldn't have been able to dig for treasure. "Treasure digging? That's right, that's indeed treasure digging. It is not too much to dig up a huge profit from nothing, compared to any treasure. The only difference is that the treasure in the ground does not affect the interests of other people, and this excavation will affect the entire area...... Not even the entire province, causing great harm.

......

The moon is bright tonight and the stars are scarce. In the castle on the outskirts of Brasian, a faint gasp came from a window high up in the castle.

Ashruphat hugged the star in his arms tightly. Although she was wary of Ashrufat before, and even a little hostile. But as most people know, the most difficult thing is to push down for the first time. Since the first willing skin-to-skin blind date with Xingke, everything since then has become logical. Ever since they broke that relationship, Ashruphat had noticed that the two sisters were similar in appearance, but they were also very different in almost all aspects, including the bed. For example, Xingke, she seems to be very indifferent and arrogant on the surface, but when she is in bed, she is like a wild cat, and even likes to take the initiative on her own. In contrast, Hoshimi seems to be well-behaved and obedient, like a Persian cat.

The pink and white delicate body that moved back and forth looked particularly attractive under the illumination of the magic light, and a burst of flush hit her whole body like a raging heat wave, making her petite and well-proportioned red lips shout out a high-pitched song with an extremely beautiful timbre!

I don't know what the Tao is for, but at the moment of feeling this passion, Ashrufat suddenly felt a blur, and some kind of hazy memory came up from the closed abyss of memory, making him vaguely remember that maybe some event in the past, somewhere, he seemed to be with two women in the same way......

A pain in his shoulder drove the hazy feeling straight out of his mind. Ashruphat came back to his senses to find Starcarved biting him hard with her shell-like white teeth.

"You have two such lovely brides, and you are not allowed to think about any other woman!" she warned him as she pressed into his ear.
