"Why are you still here?" said Ashrufat, reasserting his sword. "I almost ...... just now," he recalled, and suddenly realized that Scarlet's fight with him was short, but it was completely equal. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"You killed Hassel?" asked Ashrufat. He had already known most of the situation before, and this sentence was actually just a matter of verification.

He wailed all night, and cried like a bitch. Scarlet replied. As she recalled the incident, her face showed a very clear hatred.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Ashrufat was tempted to ask Scarlet, to tell the truth. In his expectation (and not only his prediction, but also Carrie's judgment), the fiery haired girl should have fled a long time ago.

But he didn't have much to lose in this matter. Eshurufat thought it very clear that the armor was superfluous anyway (and it was only for women), and so was the sword. The sword was from Rohr's hand, and his original idea was that it was sharp and inconspicuous, suitable for an ordinary traveler's sabre, but when it was actually used, such as when it was besieged by a group of people in the casino in Mill City, the sword was not very easy to use. At the moment, he doesn't need it anyway, and even if he does, it's best to find a blacksmith to make a good steel sword suitable for his own use. Compared to this, it is much more important to let Hassel die sooner and determine the truth about Pinold.

Cade's plan was to poison. Poisoning doesn't mean you can't do it, but on the one hand, this kind of sneaky action is really not in line with Ashrufat's character, and on the other hand, it usually means that he has to lurk for a long time, little by little, to gain trust, and finally come to the right job. So he helped the girl because she could quickly kill Hassel.

However, Carrie has a different opinion, and she seems to have more expectations and plans for this girl.

Of course, Ashrufat didn't ask this stupid question at the very least, he just moved his mouth and didn't say anything.

Scarlet stood aside, also did not speak, and waited silently.

"Not at all! Master!" Carrie protested loudly in her mind. "You don't have the consciousness of a monarch at all! She's waiting for you to give orders! You should send her to do something, or else you'll be unassertive, and she'll look down on you. Send her to assassinate some enemy. ”

"I don't need her to do anything. Ashrufat replied to Carrie with some depression. "There's not much to do right now. Now I don't have any enemies to assassinate for the time being. ”

"Then send her to investigate and inquire about the news!"

"Mimilu has already inquired for me. Ashrufat replied. What he said was the truth, and Mimilu had already helped him go to the northern city of Mill to inquire about the news, especially about the transfer of troops and the like. In addition, there are several of Neil's men. He was sure he could get the details of the hand.

"Then tell her to rest, and come back tomorrow for her dispatch. Carrie sighed and gave her last opinion.

"You go and rest first. Ashrufat said to Scarlet. "Come here tomorrow. ”

Scarlet nodded, then she jumped backwards and disappeared into the shadows. The swiftness and speed of mercury was enough to make even the most skilled assassin marvel. After a few seconds, Ashruphat was no longer aware of her presence.

"You're so unconscious!" This time, Carrie once again conjured up in front of him. Although she wears that strange rabbit-eared hat on her head, this time Carrie is wearing armor. Carrie's form was just a completely fictitious apparition that could only be seen by Ashrufat, but Ashrufat was slightly surprised to see her wearing armor (although this armor could only be described as cute).

"You've conquered the three central cities of Sivania, so you're already in control of the land!" Carrie said with a very serious expression. However, because of the rabbit ear hat, her serious expression is not very harsh, but very cute, "Now you have to change your mind immediately! I have to train you!"

"Special training, what do I need for special training?"

"Change your mindset completely. You have to make up for all sorts of common sense. You've never been a ruler, so you don't have much knowledge about it. Although I can guide you along the way and help you with all the daily chores, there are always some issues that require your own judgment! Do you still feel that you don't need to? So let me ask you, let's say, how much tax do you think you should charge?

To tell the truth, Ashrufat hadn't thought about it at all, and he couldn't say it for a while.

"Can you do without taxes?" replied at the end.

Carrie held out a finger with a look of contempt and smugness, and shook it. "If you don't want taxes, how are you going to rule? How are you going to pay your servants or let them drink the northwest wind? How are the roads in your land going to be repaired? How are your walls going to be repaired? How are you going to deal with natural disasters like fires and floods? Are you going to send those zombies and skeletons?"

Admittedly, Ashrufat was speechless at Carrie's rebuttal.

"So, you have to understand that a lot of things are different for you as a ruler than when you were a traveler. There's a lot of common sense you need to make up for. Let me ask you another question, what if you meet someone on the road who asks you for help, and his child is seriously ill and needs to rely on the equipment of the base?"

"What's the point of doubt. Ashrufat replied. "Give him a hand, and he won't lose anything anyway. Those machines don't break down after a single use, do they?"

"Of course it's completely wrong! You can't say yes easily. Carrie immediately denied. "If you're just a passing traveler, it doesn't matter if you give him a hand. But now as a lord it's different! If you promise to help, what if another person is sick and asks you for help? You can only say yes...... Then, everyone will know that you can easily help them. They will slowly get used to it and eventually take your help for granted. But if the machine is used too much, it will eventually be damaged, and you have no skills to repair it. So, what will the person who didn't make it to the last chance think of you? Yes, they're going to hate you! Maybe that's not clear enough, so I'll give you another example. Carrie continued. "There are two lords, one of whom collects taxes normally every year, but one year, because he has a happy event, he ordered the tax to be reduced for this year, and his people are very happy, and praise his name, do you think this story is reasonable?"

"Reasonable. ”

"Another lord exempts taxes every year, but this year, because he needs money, he has to collect taxes, and it is twice as much as in normal years, and his people complain. Do you think it makes sense?"

This time Ashrufat did not answer, but fell into deep thought.

"The truth is as simple as that, although in fact the second lord received much less tax over the years, but he did not receive the praise of the people! Master, I have completed the calculations, I will arrange a special training course for you, the first lesson ......"

"Carrie. Ashrufat said. "I want to ask, what kind of scarlet action is the ...... It's not at all like me?"

Carrie's avatar vanished immediately.

"I remember you told me that you calculated the right way to fight for her based on my fighting style...... But I'm pretty sure that she was the one when she left...... I've done that before. Her latent ability doesn't seem to be something I'm good at. ”

"This ...... This is ......," Carrie's voice didn't know what to do, adding some embarrassment. "Actually, master, I have a second set of relevant data...... It was left to me by Kotoshin-sama. Because in terms of gender and body type, Kotoshin-sama's data is more suitable for her, so I ...... With Kotoshin-sama as the main ......" Carrie's voice was slurred, very much like the kind of student who cheated on exams and was caught. “...... All in all, she ...... with you."

"The sword she took me just now was very clever. Unexpectedly, a considerable part of the force is removed. Ashrufat continued. "Is that why you have to put mind control on her for something?"

"The host...... In a word...... She's not a threat to you. She may be on par with you for a short time, but over time, her stamina is far less than yours. This is determined by the anatomy of the body. And she can't use magic either, all things considered, there is still a level difference between her combat power and yours. ”

"What are you hiding from me?" Ashrufat asked, unmoved. A long time ago, he had a vague feeling that Carrie wasn't going to tell him the truth about everything. Carrie has her own perspective.

"That's right, master, for I've always thought she was a manufactur, so I ...... her Well, it's a rare opportunity. Carrie's shadow appeared in Ashrufat's eyes again, but this time with her head bowed, like a child who had made a mistake. "So I made some dangerous attempts...... However, it turned out to be very effective, and it greatly improved her combat ability. ”

"Don't you often say that mortals are destined to die, so there's no need to do anything special?"

"This time is an exception. Master, you have so many sinks...... Through those things, you can stop her from aging. In a special way, to achieve her eternal life. The sink can heal injuries and restore her physical condition, that is, she can restore her body to ...... at will. The original state. That is, to keep the body at this age. But the master, considering that this thing is not used indefinitely, and it also needs intervals, so she still has to die after all. If you want to give this incomplete eternal life to someone in this way, I suggest that you should not exceed ten people. ”

"I got it. Ashrufat replied. "Tell me what I'm going to learn in the first lesson. ”

......

Robin accompanied Beller to the door of the mansion. They had been standing here for a long time, but the people they were waiting for had only arrived now. In front of them, a troop of cavalry, not particularly numerous, galloped up, stopped in the square in front of the governor's palace, and, as required by ceremonial order, formed a small phalanx. A richly dressed man walked up from behind the phalanx and made his way to Beller. According to etiquette, he should walk below a few dozen paces away from Bayral to show respect for Bayer. In reality, however, the nobleman rode his horse until he was close to Beller.

"Lord Beller. This man is more than half a hundred years old, with a broad face, a straight nose, thick eyebrows and big eyes, but the corners of his eyes are slightly slanted, which makes people unconsciously feel that he doesn't trust anything very much.

"Lord Leto. Beller took the initiative to greet him, with a warm smile on his face, as if he was not aware of the other party's rudeness just now.
