Verse 29 passes
"This ...... Actually, it was an accident. Ashrufat replied.
"I'm sorry, but because of my personal curiosity, I investigated the matter a little. "Beller is telling these lies that no one believes," said Beller, "it is said that the city of Eagle was ...... at the time owes tens of millions of dollars to Gioli. No, in fact, the total amount is much larger than that, but this tens of millions is only the number of debts that are due in a year and need to be repaid. This one...... Is it an accident to repay such a large debt?"
"It was really an accident. Ashrufat replied. "Actually, there's a secret in it. β
"I wonder if I have the privilege to share this secret?"
Ashruphat was silent for a moment.
"I'm sorry. Bayral said with a pretended lightheartedness. "Maybe this secret is more important, and it shouldn't be known to me, an outsider. I guess that's the end of our conversation?"
Ashrufat was a little surprised. This Bayer deserves to be a generation of famous generals, who can release and collect, and is extremely calm. At least this is far superior to others.
"To be honest, I didn't know about the amnesia until I met you. I thought we could continue to talk about what we didn't talk about last time, but it's a bit of a shame. Bayrell said.
"Last time?" Ashrufat's mind struck. By the way, Bayral just said that the last time the two of them talked for a long time. In this sense, perhaps Bayrell knows a lot about his lost memories.
At this time, Bayral had already made a gesture to leave. In particular, Robin was desperately glancing at his general from the sidelines, reminding Baylor that this conversation was precious and could not be ended so hastily. But Bayrell pretended not to see it.
"Wait a minute, Lord Baylor. Ashrufat said. "Actually...... Can I know what we discussed last time? β
"Well, we talked a lot last time. However, according to a philosopher, amnesia means a rebirth, and the new person is no longer the same ...... as before."
Bayer's tone was a little unkind, so that the other party could clearly understand the fact that Bayral was now very unhappy because of his refusal to share this little secret just now.
"Well, Lord Beller, this ......" Ashrufat quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind. Byron is finished, and the value of keeping secrets is not very great. And as long as the core part of the secret is not exposed, the rest of the part will not be a problem even if it is publicly announced now. Compared to this, the information that Bayral has, especially the topic of discussion in the last meeting between the two, is more important. "Actually, as long as you can keep it a secret......"
Bayral immediately sat back down and cast a smiling glance at Robin. Robin's face turned red at once, because Bayrell had said it before. A person who has lost his memory must have a great attachment to his lost memory, and this is worth exploiting. It was clear that this was something that Bayer had told him, but he had forgotten it.
"Swear by the honor of my soldiers. It's just a personal curiosity. Bayrell said.
Robin had been with Bayer long enough that he understood that Baylor was as indifferent to swearing as he was spitting. But I don't know what it is, but there are still many people who believe in Bayor's promise.
Ashrufat looked at the guards around him, and Beller immediately made a gesture, and the guards left. Robin is the last one to come out. But in fact, they were prepared for such a situation. Robin left with his front foot and turned to the next room with his back foot. There is a weak part of the wall here, and you can clearly hear the conversation next door with your ears against the wall.
"Actually, that's the case. Ashrufat said. "At that time, Eagle City was indeed suffering from a huge financial crisis. He tried to speak in a tone that suited the atmosphere, so as to make this secret of little value seem important. "There's not even a single Gioli left in the warehouse...... Only...... Piles of documents, most of which are debt documents...... Same as you just said. β
Bayral looked attentive and didn't interject.
"But luckily, when I was sorting through these documents, I accidentally found some ...... Documents, to be specific, are letters. Ashruphat lowered his voice slightly. "That's a letter from an elven prince that allows humans to trade in his domain!"
BΓ©ral immediately came to his senses. He had heard the news for a long time, but he never thought of it.
"Those letters were put there, and no one had touched them for many years. But I found out that I knew a little bit of Elfish, so I sold the license files...... Entrusted a friend to sell it for a good price. So...... Debt or something, it's no longer a problem. Ashrufat said. "It's incredible, isn't it? Speaking of which, I don't believe that there is such good luck. Perhaps it is the spirit of Garunas, the sage of the wilderness, who shelters our little queen in the sky. β
"Actually...... It's that simple......"
"Well, the letters that no one cared about in the warehouse, piled up in a corner drawer...... I can't believe it can be sold at such a high price. β
"It's incredible...... No, maybe that's really what the Sage of the Wilderness is ready to do......"
Robin withdrew his ear from the wall and touched his chest hard. I didn't expect this miracle...... Is it just such a simple reason? For a while, I couldn't tell what it was. He calmed down his agitation and pressed his ear to the wall again.
β...... Last time we talked a lot about military affairs, wars and things like that. Thomas taught you a lot ......"
"Thomas?!" Hearing the name, Ashruphat couldn't control it for a moment.
"Yes, Thomas. Bayur was not surprised by Eshurufat's reaction.
"Your Excellency Bayor...... In the last conversation, I mentioned Thomas, so Thomas is ...... Who is he? I mean, where is he from? His identity is ......."
"Count Thomas of St. Jean. Beller replied. "A long-time friend of mine. β
"Well, he's my ......"
"The last time we met, you claimed to be his disciple. I'm pretty convinced, though, that it's not a lie. At least I'm sure you've learned a lot from Thomas. β
Disciple? Just a disciple? No, I shouldn't be surprised. Indeed it should be. If the past me ...... That's what you call yourself, that's a normal thing.
Ashrufat's whole body relaxed for a moment. Now, he has been able to have a reasonable outline of his past, or the past self. Birth, upbringing, education, life, marriage...... At least they're all connected to each other in a way that makes sense.
"This Count Thomas...... His Excellency Bayer seemed familiar. β
"He's ...... Well, how to put it. Your Excellency, some people may add the title of 'the first general of our time' when they talk about me. But actually, at least I know that I don't deserve this title. Because I believe Thomas is more fitting for this title than I am. β
"Ah......h
"If I had to go head-to-head with Thomas, I would have liked to have at least a third more troops than him, otherwise I would never have played. In fact, even if I had a third more, I would have to be careful. β
"So, this Earl Thomas...... Now ......"
"He's dead. BΓ©ral sighed and replied in a tone of loneliness. "It's the kind of death that best suits a general. As the poet said, the most suitable way for a general to die is to be killed by a stray arrow after winning the last war. β
"He was ...... by arrows Shot dead?"
Of course not, this statement is just a metaphor for a poetic approach. In fact, more than a decade ago, General Thomas led his army as General of St. Jean. After a series of tough battles, he crushed more than 100,000 enemy troops with 7,000 troops...... After his unprecedented victory, he died of injuries on his way back to the army. Some say it's because he's been battered on the battlefield, but I'd rather not believe that. Because he was already over eighty years old, the fire of life was not strong...... Anyway, for a general, this way of exiting is a perfect ending. This made his handsome and commanding life flawless...... It's enviable. I really wish I had died this type of ...... However, this kind of result is unavoidable for a general. β
Are you dead? in your eighties? If you are alive now, you should be in your nineties......
"Count Thomas...... Does he have an heir?" asked Ashrufat, trembling a little.
"Nope. Bayral replied. It was a strange question, but he didn't think much of it for a while. "General Thomas's family...... They all died before him. Therefore, although he was a rich prince, he had no heir. But this is not a shortcoming, people like us who have killed countless creatures on the battlefield should not have any extravagant happiness in the first place. β
When Beller said this, there was a clear loneliness in his eyes for the first time.
Ashrufaat let out a long exhale. He began to turn the conversation to something else. It must be said that during this meeting, both sides have already resolved their most urgent news about the Tao. So they quickly moved on to other areas of common interest. The two began to talk about the art of war, war, the current situation, cultists, and many other chaotic and complicated topics.
Finally, it was Robin who knocked on the door and came in, ending the conversation. Ashrufa deliberately said goodbye.
"General, just now I noticed a few sneaky figures walking around. Robin was the first to report the news. He'd been listening to the wall, but the guards were very competent. "They were armed with them. β
"It's just common diplomacy. Beller was unimpressed. "We're here as reinforcements now, and we're honored guests...... In the entire Eagle Falcon City, there is no way that anyone would want to attack us. Settled. He immediately turned his mind to the meeting he had just had. "Robin, I believe in miracles now. β
"General, what miracle?"
"The Makremiz family has a destiny, which is why this Aerufat came. BΓ©ral replied with his chin in his hand. That's all I can say. β
"This Ashrufat...... He's amazing?" Robin asked, unconvinced. He leaned against the wall and listened for a while, but he didn't hear anything too big. I don't know what Baylor said for Lang.
"It's remarkable. Bayral replied. "This Ashruphat is almost equal to King Makremiz and Garunas...... A mix of two people. He paused, as if searching his stomach for the right word to describe Ashrufat. "He's a lot better than the last time we met...... I'm sure he must have fought many times in various places. β
