"This coat of arms ...... It's very familiar. Oliveira's eyes were fixed on the blood dragon pattern, her brow furrowed, as if she was thinking about something. "By the way, I remembered...... Oh, this pattern of yours is also called a blood dragon?"

"Yes. Ashrufat replied. "What did you just say?"

"I've seen a similar pattern. To be honest, this pattern is rare, so it just leaves an impression. By the way, where are you from?"

"A wandering mercenary, without a country or a home. Ashrufat scornfully shirked the past. He stood up, went to the Nightmare Pony to remove his shield, and brought it to the table. "Doctor, have you seen anything like my coat of arms anywhere?"

"It should be said that it is a very similar coat of arms. Of course, Oliveira didn't understand what Ashrufat was thinking at the moment, and he didn't notice the abnormal eagerness on Ashrufat's face. "But there is a little difference in the details. Here, for example, the dragon's ears are different...... Here, the position of the dragon's claw is different......"

He casually pointed at his shield. Ashruphat seemed to be listening to him with a little curiosity, but in fact his heart was stirring up with Oliveira's words. In the depths of his heart, in a position that was too inaccessible to be cut off by a dark wall, waves were crashing against the impassable wall.

The familiarity that came out of nowhere made him shudder again.

"That'...... Whose coat of arms is that?" If Oliveira hadn't been immersed in the memories, he would have discovered Eshufate's gaffe at this moment.

"Actually, it's not a person's coat of arms. Oliveira replied. "It should be said that it was the coat of arms of a force. You know that there is a tradition in the kingdom of Ryan that if it is a unit that has made special achievements, it has the right to have its own unique banner and name it after this banner. However, although it is said to be a flag, it is similar to the coat of arms, and all the members will be proud of this design. The blood dragon pattern I just mentioned is the banner of such a knightly army...... I think it wasn't a big force, it was a small unit, a squadron, with forty or fifty members. ”

"Can I ask...... Further details, how is that force doing now?" Ashrufat tried to keep himself calm, or rather calm. He picked up his glass and took a long sip mechanically, but he couldn't contain the tremor of his wrists. His instincts and instincts, or rather his remaining memories, told him the truth. The army under the banner of the blood dragon that Oliveira spoke of must have a direct relationship with his past as a human.

"A tragedy. Maybe it was the effect of the alcohol, maybe it was the deep feeling, Oliveira sighed a little. "A complete tragedy. If you ask about that unit, then I can tell you that the Blood Dragon Squadron has been charged with treason and unauthorized action, and almost all of its members are dead. Their past records were erased, and their banners were removed from the kingdom's books. There are no more blood dragon troops in the World Realm. ”

A violent impulse surged over Ashrufat's heart, and unspeakable anger and sadness suddenly took over his mind. His hand had clenched into a fist at some point. If he hadn't let his hand off the glass just now, he would have crushed it before he knew it.

He took a deep breath and finally calmed himself down. Fortunately, the emotion that was almost overflowing just now did not last long, and disappeared as suddenly as it appeared.

"Doctor, you seem to know the process, can you tell me exactly what kind of tragedy this is?"

"Young man," Oliveira stared at the shield on the table, studying the blood dragon pattern, her eyes lost in confusion as she remembered the past. "You're really asking the right person, maybe I'm one of the few people in this world who really knows the secret behind this matter. Do you know what the Blood Dragon Squadron will be accused of that kind of crime, or what is the apparent reason?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know. Ashrufat replied. He really hadn't heard of it. In fact, this is also normal, for a country, the abolition of a unit is not a special event (especially just a squadron), even if it was a sensation back then, it has long been forgotten by people, even in the rumors of the streets.

"There are three charges on the face of it. Olivier stretched out three fingers. "First, acting in violation of orders. Honestly, the charge is small. Second, they wantonly carried out activities in non-resident areas and provoked incidents. It's not a crime at all. Thirdly, it is a blatant betrayal, and a sword against the king!"

He looked at Ashrufat, "Normally, it's not too much to take down a unit on this charge. And this kind of crime can't be made up, don't you think so?"

Ashrufat nodded.

"However, the so-called betrayal is based on the 'trust of the other party'. If one of the two friends betrays the other for the sake of profit, then the latter's revenge on the former cannot be called 'betrayal'. The same is true between superiors and subordinates. If his superiors betray the trust of his subordinates in the first place, he is not in a position to accuse them of 'betrayal', at least that's what I think. ”

"Doctor...... What do you mean...... It's not that the Blood Dragon Squadron betrayed the King, but that the King betrayed the Blood Dragon Squadron?"

"That's not right. Our King was a child at the time, and he didn't know anything. I remember that the Prime Minister at that time was Leto, Duke Leto, His Majesty's cousin, or cousin?" replied Oliveira. "Of course, now the king himself has long been in charge. ”

He pulled out his pipe, re-lit it, and took a big puff.

"Can I hear the process?" asked Ashrufat.

"That's what my family says...... Of course, it doesn't matter what you say about it now. After all, so much time has passed, and no one cares about the truth behind it, and the parties involved are all dead...... But, young man, you seem to be very concerned about this. ”

"Out of curiosity, I really want to know about it. Ashrufat forced a smile. "And I have reason to believe you. A wise scholar like you would not say such a thing if he were not very sure. ”

"Then I'll say it. As far as I know, the story goes something like this: since the Church built an excavation site in West Vania, collected a large number of laborers, and carried out the excavation work, there has been a lot of interest in this matter. Although the Church has always claimed that it is religious work, it is very strict in the management of the excavation site itself, completely cutting off contact with the outside world. So the nations (or the forces) don't believe it, so they're trying to get to the bottom of it. Among them, the Kingdom of Ryan is especially so. Because Sivania itself was a new land developed by the Ryan (although Via was given to Tiberius. But after all, it was only an enclave for the Tiberius, and it was only used to canonize an earl), and in order to understand the truth about the excavation site, Leto, who was in power at the time, decided to send a capable and reliable force to investigate the details. So the Blood Dragon Squadron was chosen. ”

"Of course, if this kind of espionage is made public, it will definitely be a diplomatic storm. So the whole event is secret. The Blood Dragon Squadron accepted the task - no doubt they weren't told that in the event of an accident, they would be abandoned as outcasts by the higher-ups. ”

Then something else happened naturally. After the Blood Dragon Squadron came to Sivania, in order to keep the overall operation secret, it did not choose its own territory, but chose Via as its base of operations. Their activities were very successful, and they got a lot of secrets from the church, which made the church angry. In order to cut off the curiosity of the various forces, and to make an example of the monkeys, after some behind-the-scenes interest deals, the church and Ryan's top brass reached an agreement - in my inference, the church probably satisfied Leto's private interests - in short, the details of the Blood Dragon Squadron in the hands of the church side. Then one day, the church side sneaked up on the Blood Dragon Squadron. ”

"One can imagine what would happen in such a situation. However, the Blood Dragon Squadron was able to withstand the surprise attack, and most of the members managed to evacuate. The Church pursued closely, and the Blood Dragon Squadron could not be supported and protected along the way because they could not reveal their identities. Even some of the Ryan armies, who don't know the truth, are attacking them. The culmination of this pursuit was that the Blood Dragon Squadron was almost completely wiped out. Their captain was taken prisoner and then publicly burned at the stake on charges of heresy, as if in Via, or somewhere. ”

"Burned alive?!" Ashrufat asked. He didn't realize that his voice was hoarse, and his whole body trembled slightly.

"Burn at the stake, of course. Oliveira replied, sensing that something was not quite right with Ashrufat, but he didn't mind too much. After all, he was talking about a political topic that was long gone and no longer cared about. "Maybe the church tortured the other captive members to get information, or maybe they already knew the details of the Dao, anyway, the church took this opportunity to attack the Ryans. Of course, Ryan denied it, and insisted that this had nothing to do with the high-level, and that it was the blood dragon squadron's private actions. To prove it, they declared the captain who was burned to death guilty of acting privately against orders and other crimes, directly depriving him of his status and property. As for the rest, the dead died in vain, and the captives did not care. The captives were either burned at the stake or died in prison. ”

"But that's not the end of it. Then one more thing happened, and that was when the last member of the Blood Dragon Squadron, the only young man (I forgot the exact name) who escaped from the Church's pursuit, found our little king in public. Of course, the little king knew nothing of such a thing (or he knew it, but it didn't matter), and instead scolded the young man for being rude. So, like all tragedies, the final result was that the young man could not bear the persecution and betrayal of all kinds, and in his rage wounded the little king with his sword. In this way, the treacherous accusations of the Blood Dragon Squadron were confirmed, and there was no possibility of turning over. Of course, even if this didn't happen, they wouldn't have been able to turn over. Oh...... Young man, what's wrong with you?"

In front of him, Ashruphat was bowing his head, his hands clenched into fists. Anyone could tell that it was a position of almost uncontrollable emotion.

Ashrufat didn't seem to hear him, and continued to maintain this position, his whole body trembling violently.

"Young people...... Young man, Ashrufat!" Oliveira said, a little shocked. "What's wrong with you?
