Section 183 Selection

"Queen?" Ashrufat looked surprised, and it was unclear if it was a matter of heart or disguise. "Didn't she go back to Eagle City...... It's not been long since I went back. ”

"Ashrufat," Skadra said. "She's outside the camp...... There's a sentry post waiting for you. The nearest outpost. ”

"May I ask why? I don't think the Queen should be here right now. Now the barbarians of the north have launched a formal invasion......"

"So you already know about it. Actually, the queen came here mainly because there were bad rumors in Eagle City," Skadra said. "I don't know where the rumors came from, they say you plan to ...... Do a dangerous thing here. ”

"What kind of dangerous thing?" asked Ashrufat. But before Skadera could reply, he rose from his position. "The Queen alone?"

"Miss Lalia was with her. ”

"Why didn't she just come to me?"

She wanted her whereabouts to be secret this time...... She wanted a private meeting. Skadera's eyes looked at Ashrufat. He still remembered the first time the young man appeared in front of him. That seems like a long time ago. At that time, the young man named Ashrufaat appeared humble, confident, and well-spoken, and although he felt kind, he did not show much difference from others. At that time, he didn't feel that way. But now he felt it clearly. It was an indescribable feeling, and the man exuded a fierce or sharp momentum, like an unsheathed sword flashing with cold light. Is this what he really is? Or has he developed this temperament in the last year or two?

The sages said that the environment changes people. This has long been a recognized axiom for the world. Not to mention, before Skadera was arrested and imprisoned by Byron, the little queen was just a child - although she had shown all kinds of potential and characteristics, in the final analysis, she was just a little girl without the dignity of a king. But by the time Skadera met the little queen again, the latter had become a real queen. There may be a lot of immaturity and naivety, but he is already a king who can make everyone bow down. Skadera watched the queen be born and raised, and the little girl had no secrets from him. So he was sure it wasn't because the little girl had been wearing a mask to disguise herself in the past. The only explanation is the philosophical saying that the environment changes people.

"A private meeting. Ashruphat repeated the phrase once. He put on his helmet and put down his armor. In this way, most of his appearance is obscured, and others can only tell from his armor that he is a high-ranking officer, but unless it is a very familiar person, it is impossible to guess his true identity at once.

"The nearest outpost?" Ashrufat confirmed again. "I'm going alone?, well, Lord Skadra, I'd better have someone arrange your accommodation, I guess you're tired too. ”

"Ashrufat, wait. Skadra reached out and made a "don't rush" gesture. By this time, the soldier who had accompanied Skadra had withdrawn, and now only Ashrufat and Skadra were left here, and no one could hear them even if they said anything superfluous.

Ashrufat stopped and looked at Skadra.

"Ashrufat...... As an elder, I want to ask you one thing. Do you know that our Queen Xià is holding on to you...... Strange feelings. ”

He slowly asked the question. This was the biggest thing Skadera noticed since he was freed. It's not so much that this was unexpected by Scardera, but that it was unexpected by everyone. The little queen actually fell in love with this man.

In this matter, perhaps others have not yet noticed. But Skadera had been the chief of the court for many years, and he had a wealth of experience, and he had seen this kind of thing countless times in the court. With his special position as the chief of the court, he was very light and noticed this with all kinds of clues. Since it has not yet been confirmed from the mouth of the little queen, but it has been revealed.

Skadera didn't know exactly how it happened, but the fact was that it had happened, and it was hard to change.

He looked at Ashrufat. After saying this, he actually felt a little regretful. Because he himself didn't know what kind of answer he wanted from Ashrufat's mouth. He should have allowed this qiē to develop naturally, or he should have used various strategies to prevent it from continuing to develop.

"Hmm. Ashruphat nodded.

"So, what do you want to do?" asked Skadra.

"I don't know what to do yet. Ashrufat replied. "However, there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain. ”

With that, he walked past Skadera and lifted the curtain of the tent to go out. Outside the tent, the voice of Ashrufat greeting his men was clearly heard, but Skadra had no intention of distinguishing Ashrufat's voice. He had only one question in his head, a simple one.

What should I do about this?

......

Jaime soon returned to his tent.

It was a small, unremarkable one-man tent located a little further from the Great Tent of Ashrufat, on the edge of a camp sentry. However, the sentry already knew Jaime's identity, so although he was a little puzzled by Jaime's hurried steps, it was only doubtful and did not make any further observations.

Jaime is not a magician. Although he himself admits to having studied magic, there is a fundamental difference between studying magic and becoming a magician. The latter must have the power to embrace the winds of magic and use their will to control them. At the same time, due to long-term contact with the wind of magic, the mage itself will also develop some unique characteristics. A very young magician may be exactly the same as an ordinary person, but if he is a little older and has been a magician for so many years, then he will inevitably have traces left by the wind of magic. But even though he wasn't a magician, it didn't stop Jaime from digging out a small blanket with magical symbols drawn on it in his luggage.

He spread the blanket on the ground, stood in the middle of it, and then removed the pendant of his necklace from his neck. He placed the pendant carefully on an inconspicuous gap in the middle of the blanket.

At this moment, he was enveloped by the wind of magic that he didn't have any magical abilities. The wind of magic is no longer ethereal and unreachable, no longer a concept that exists only in books, but is truly felt by his body.

Unfortunately, this wind of magic can be controlled by him, but it can only flow in a fixed direction, which means that in this way, he can only use one type of magic. And this magic is still a spell of communication.

It doesn't matter, there will be more opportunities in the future. As long as he gets Tzeentch's favor, it is possible. Jaime wasted no extra time, he quickly immersed his will in the wind of magic, and with the help of the wind of magic, he sent a message to a certain being in the distance.

"Master Marven, the task you gave me has been completed. ”

A few seconds later, a voice entered his consciousness with the help of the wind of magic. "Is a qiē very smooth?"

"It was very smooth, even better than we expected. Jaime was trembling with excitement as he thought of this. "And, my lord, I have good news for you. You'll be glad to hear it. The general who led his army to capture the city of Fornoros, the Count of Eshurufat, seems to have a great curiosity about the Chaos Gods. ”

"Oh, what's the curiosity?"

"I told him a lot about Chaos, and not only did he not reject it, but he also showed curiosity. You heard him right, he must be the kind of person who doesn't care about his beliefs. Someone angrily retorted to me, but he didn't care, and asked me for more knowledge about Chaos. ”

"It sounds like a trap. ”

"The hosts, I was careful. I didn't say anything beyond the well-known news. The Count of Ashrufat was not a native of Gruny, and he knew less about it. I am sure, however, that when he listened to me, he showed obvious curiosity. Master, this Ishrufat commands a large army. If he can throw himself into the arms of Chaos, then it means that we will not have any possibility of losing this war. ”

"Curiosity is curiosity. If you want to put curiosity into action, it will take several pushes from others. "Magical communication can only convey words, but not tones and expressions. So Jaime could only infer from the content of his words that his master was not particularly interested in the matter.

"I'm sure we can get it done. After all, it's just an attempt, isn't it? Even if it fails, it doesn't matter. Tzeentch will bless me. ”

There was no answer, and there was only silence from the winds of magic. There is no doubt that somewhere far away, the other party has severed the connection with the magical winds. Jaime wasn't sure if his last request had been accepted. He began to hesitate whether he should do what he had planned.

No, no, if you can't do something special to get the lord of deceit to favor you, you'll always be the sorcerer's servant. If he follows someone else's baton, then the conductor who will be favored by Tzeentch will always be Marvin, and Jaime will only deserve a little scraps. Not to mention becoming a true magician, able to use his will to control the energy of the wind of magic...... Even getting a new spell is very difficult.

Jaime clenched his fists and made a decision in his mind.

Far north from the city of Fornoros, Marven once again drove the magic disk under his feet - although many people call this thing a flying saucer, a magic saucer, or a floating saucer, but Marvin likes to call it a magic disk, after all, this is its real name - forward. This time he wasn't alone, at his feet, beneath the magic disk, there was a whole team of Chaos Warriors marching with him.
