Verse 371 will leave

The soldier took his leave and left. Ashruphat picked up the notepad on the side of the table and jotted down the updates he had received.

After doing this, he picked up the notebook and carefully read all the details he had recorded about this matter. The intelligence from all sides, some evidence obtained after the battle and the oral accounts of the survivors during the battle all point to one thing, that the battle was definitely an accident, and not a decapitation battle against the little queen.

The reason the Chaos Legion launched this raid was not because they were hungry for battle, but because they were hungry. Maybe their scouts were good, or maybe there were too few defenders to hide, but they found it a good place to raid. And then a qiē just happened naturally.

He knew by now that there were two Chaos Legions. The first is commanded by the Bloodfang Lord, and the second is commanded by Marven (this has been confirmed from the captives). If Ashrufat guessed correctly, the Chaos Legion attacking Neustriad City was the Bloodfang Lords who broke through on the battlefield.

It's normal for a sadistic Chaos Lord to launch this kind of offensive and kill a lot of people, but it's not normal for him to capture Starmoment - well, according to the church's experience, unless it's a very special situation, it's unlikely that a sadistic believer will leave any captives. They all had the same attitude towards the soldiers, women and children, that is, to kill.

Starmark is still alive...... The reason is unknown. The last time she was seen was when she broke up with Hoshimi (and Laria, of course), and insisted on breaking it off by herself.

In the past, he really didn't know that his fiancée actually had such a strong combat power. Ashrufat thought with some self-deprecation. Although he had been with the twins since he woke up, he had never felt that the two of them were so powerful.

However, he had long known that the two sisters' dark magic had been in a different way from the beginning, and the direction of their research and the content of their research were completely different from those of ordinary dark magicians in this world. The two of them are indeed geniuses, and in such a situation where they can be said to know nothing, they can actually open up a way from scratch.

He threw the distractions away. I'm afraid it's true that Starmark was captured, but why? What is there about her that Chaos cultists value?

Or is it just a personal interest or desire? But it's an army of sadistic believers! Starke will be captured, and it's not that simple to be alive.

He picked up the notebook, which, as I had said earlier, contained all sorts of details that he had asked from the mouths of many people. That night, after the Chaos Legion breached the outer city, they didn't make much effort to search for survivors. One is that they are not many in number, and the other is that because they are in a hurry to plunder and supplies, there are really many people who survived without retreating to the second city wall.

Ashrufat's gaze rested on a note. There, there was a soldier on the city wall who had been knocked unconscious in battle. After the gates were opened, the Chaos Warriors stopped caring about the walls, allowing people to survive on the walls. The mortal soldier thus saw the Chaos Legion retreating from the city on the city walls.

He also saw the star carvings in the Chaos Legion. However, there was something strange about what he saw. Because Starmark was lying in a cart (the Chaos Warriors had gotten a lot of carts to load supplies in the city), she looked unconscious, her hands and feet untied, and a helmet on her head.

Because of this, the soldier made a great impression.

Helmet? Does this mean? Or is it just an accident?

Startick would have survived - if she hadn't been killed on the second or third day, then she would have lived...... Wait, did the gods know about that, or was it an unexpected raid on the surface, but it actually had a deeper meaning?

There is a secret hidden in the body of the star carving, a secret that can shake the world and even destroy miè humanity. There are only three people in this world who know this secret, one is Ashrufat, and the other two are Hoshiki and Hoshimi.

Ashrufat didn't know why he knew the secret, and the memories were lost. But he knew that Hoshimi and Hoshiki had discovered the secret by accident through his own research. In fact, until now, the twins have not realized how terrible this secret really is.

No...... Maybe it's not that complicated. Eshuruphat suddenly thought of Rogin, the Chaos wizard he had killed. Luo Jin holds a similar secret in his body, a magical mystery that will allow Chaos to conquer a kingdom. However, Rogin was killed in the chaos of infighting (albeit by Ashrufat, but essentially from infighting). These secrets may not be of much importance to the evil gods.

No, no, at that time, Luo Jin had just discovered this secret and had not yet attracted attention......

Then he heard someone knocking on the door.

He should have seen all the people he was going to see tonight. Ashrufat closed his notebook, stood up, and walked to the door of his room. The moment he opened the door, the cold wind of the night poured in and blew on his face.

The little girl stood alone outside the door.

She was dressed in a white nightgown that looked a little messy, her hair was draped over her shoulders, and she wore a pair of slippers on her feet. It's naturally okay to lie under the quilt in such a dress, but it's a little too little to walk outside. And she didn't know how long she had been like this, and her face was already a little blue from the cold.

"Your Majesty ......" Ashruphat was about to say, "You shouldn't have come at this time." But the little girl's expression showed that she could cry at any time. Ashrufat's words stopped alive. He had no choice but to open the door and let the other person in.

Before closing the door, Ashruphat looked left and right. Of course, there was no one else nearby - he was a little relieved of the little girl's stealth skills. When she was in Eagle Falcon, she ran out of the palace alone and went out into the streets, and she didn't notice anyone.

He closed the door and turned around. The little girl's face was blue from the cold, so he took a cloak from the hanger and wrapped it around the little girl's body. This cloak was not his own (the magical magic cloak was already hidden in his small pouch), but a thick woolen fabric that protected from the wind and snow.

"What's wrong?" Ashrufat asked softly. This is no longer the way a courtier speaks to the queen. Of course, having said that, running over in pajamas like this is not what the queen did to the minister.

"I ......," replied the little girl, bowing her head, in an almost mosquito-like voice. "I'm scared. ”

"Don't worry, this city is under your control. The armies here are all in your service, I'm sure of that. ”

"I ...... I'm not afraid of this, I'm ......"

When she looked up, her eyes were full of tears. "I don't know what to do?"

“......”

"My brother is coming tomorrow, and I don't know what to do when I see him...... I ......," she shook her head vigorously, "...... Very scared. She whispered.

"Don't think about anything. Ashrufat said softly. "You can do whatever you want. ”

"Is it all right?" said the little girl softly. "But I'm ...... Just feel ...... Afraid...... Disturbed. But if you want me to say why are you afraid...... But I can't tell......"

It's not because of security - in fact it's King Boer who is really insecure, not her. It's not because of fear either - as a queen, she's done well enough that she doesn't have to worry about her qualifications. In this matter, it was Pol who did a very excessive, very undignified way, not her.

The little girl herself vaguely felt that the reason why she really felt scared was that Ashrufat couldn't give her any help in this matter. From the time she truly became queen, Ashrufat had always been someone she could trust and rely on. This is true of everything. But only this time, she had to make a choice alone. And, in fact, this is not a simple fear, but a much more complex feeling.

"I ...... I don't remember my brother's face anymore. She replied with her head bowed and a gnat-like voice. "After meeting him, I didn't know what to do, how to say ......"

"If you can't say it, then you don't have to say anything. Ashrufat replied softly. "Clio is here. Essien said he was one of the best diplomats and very good at negotiating. I have confidence in Essien's eyesight. If you don't know what to do, then you can entrust him with a qiē. He would...... I'm sure it will...... Solve most of the troubles. ”

The little girl looked at Eshurufat's face and shook her head resolutely.

She had expected Ashruphat to be angry or laughing at it. But Ashrufat didn't say anything, just nodded silently.

"A qiē as you wish. He said. "If there's a need for a formal negotiation, then I'll put Clio on the pitch. If it's just a private meeting—the one where two people face each other—I'll arrange a suitable secret room. ”

He spoke softly and gently. Maybe it was because of his tone that the little girl's original uneasiness, which seemed to have no reason, began to fade slowly. Ashrufat stood up, poured a small glass of wine on the side, and brought it to the little girl.

Cold, slightly sour, sweet, with a little bit of sourness and a little bit of excitement. The book says that wine can refresh the mind, and this may be the first time that the little girl feels that this is indeed the case. Perhaps, it's not just wine?

"I ...... It's not about the throne. The little girl put down her glass and said.

"I know. Ashrufat replied. "But that's your responsibility. ”

"At that time, why...... Help me?" the little girl asked suddenly. In the past, she didn't understand some things, but after Ashrufat left, she slowly understood what Ashrufat had done for her...... How remarkable. It could even be said to be a miracle altogether. One miracle after another.

"I'm leaving. Ashrufat did not answer, but abruptly changed the subject.
