Section 308 Preparation

Ashrufat knew a long time ago that he was not an ordinary person.

Fitness and dark vision aside, the fact that he doesn't need to eat, drink, or even sleep (of course, he can eat, drink, and sleep if he wants) is a big problem. It's a special ability that goes beyond the concept of "human" and has nothing to do with magic or anything. He also pursued this question, and finally concluded that he was most likely a holy knight of the Church, or had been a holy knight. But for some reason (Ashrufat speculated that it was probably because of his own cultivation of black magic), he abandoned his identity in the church and somehow hid himself.

Only the identity of the Holy Knight can explain the incredible phenomena in him.

If he's not mistaken, it's as if he's really not suffering from any illness since he's recovered from his injuries. Of course, this could be the effect of black magic. As we all know, black magic has the effect of changing the human body, and many people take the road of black magic precisely to get rid of evil diseases with the help of black magic.

But what if this isn't the effect of black magic? Then again, a person who doesn't need to eat, drink, or sleep should be able to put on the phenomenon of "not getting sick", which should be a normal thing.

It is only with this explanation that we can explain very clearly what happened before.

In this way, it is easy to understand. At that time, Rogin had not failed in casting his magic, but it had not worked at all for him. It's like fireball magic, if you throw it into a pile of wood, it will naturally start a fire, and if you throw it into a crowd, you will burn a large area, but if you throw it into a river......

At best, it's just a little popping.

In this sense, the last magic cast by Nurgle was not a failure of magic, but definitely the most vicious and cruel magic he had ever mastered. The reason why Ashrufat was not affected was simply because of his peculiar physique. If you change people, you will undoubtedly suffer from some kind of evil disease that you can't survive but can't die.

This also explains why the "Magic Array that Connects Life" that Marven made before was completely ineffective against Ashrufat, and it was wiped off with a stone chip.

This is also why Marven immediately reacted like that when he saw that scene. To tell the truth, Marven's expression at that time was like that of a gambler who had just won a vote, but found that his capital had been stolen. It was the appearance of swallowing a cockroach alive, only to find that the cockroach was crawling in its throat, spitting and spitting out, swallowing and swallowing.

Because Marven knew about the evil spell that Luo Jin sent out at the end, but he didn't know about Ashrufat's special physique. So, he thinks that Ashruphat is finished. Even if he didn't die on the spot, at least he didn't have a few days to live. Such Ashrufat no longer has any value and significance to Marven.

That's why Marvin came to Barranca. It is estimated that he thinks that as soon as Eshurufat dies, Barranca will have a high probability of becoming the supreme commander - in fact, as mentioned earlier, if Eshurufat is really dead, then the choice of supreme commander will undoubtedly be selected among the two candidates, Beleur and Barranca. And Bayrell is a foreigner, which means that after the war, Barranca will 100% become a giant in the military world in terms of meritorious deeds.

So...... This time, Parry took the initiative and was defeated by the Chaos Legion...... Not an accident, but part of a larger conspiracy, and indeed Falcon was suspicious of Parry's loyalty because of Rafa. It was unlikely that Parry would ascend to the throne after Ashrufat's death, and with such a real defeat, the Eagle Falcon City side would not even have to make excuses. If Parry originally only had a 20% chance of being the main general, now there is no chance at all.

Ashruphat thought as he slowly moved forward.

It seems that the so-called people are not as good as the sky. Suddenly, Ashruphat realized that he finally had a trick up his sleeve against the Chaos Wizards.

This should work.

By the way, and the woman...... Although Barranca himself admits that his memory is a little vague, and it is likely that he has fallen for some kind of evil spell, he can still do more in this regard.

After some time, several of the junior officers who had been summoned stood in front of Ashrufat.

"You're all locals...... Or at least someone who has been in the city for a long time. Ashrufat looked at the strange soldiers. "I need your help with something......" His gaze rested on the first officer. "Is there a library in Neustria?"

"Yes, Your Excellency," replied the soldier with a straight chest. "The library of the Church. He added.

"Very well, you can find me a book...... I'd like to see something about being killed by the Wizards of Chaos...... The wizard of Nurgle made a record of the Cursed. Ashrufat replied satisfactorily. Just as he expected. The city of Neustria is now a large military camp, but it was a necessity of war. It's just a city in its own right, and it's the kind of city that's a bit of a scale, and that kind of city is generally a library or something like that. "It's okay to have a related story, the more the merrier. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. ”

The first person turned around and left.

"Is there any paint for sale in the city now?" Ashruphat asked the second.

"Paint?" the soldier hesitated.

"Yes, paint, paint. Ashrufaat gestured, remembering Aunt Mary's painting tools. "And brushes and stuff like that. He was not very confident in this, because as mentioned earlier, most of the situation in the city had been evacuated to the rear, and there should be no merchants selling such things now.

"Well, this one may need to be found...... By the way, I remembered, I saw a merchant carrying something like this two days ago......"

"Very good, then help me buy it. Ashrufat interrupted. One ...... It should be enough.

"But Your Excellency, I think those should be private hobbies, not commodities for sale. ”

"Dear sir, as long as the price is right, there is nothing for the merchant that cannot be sold. Ashrufat said. "A set of painting equipment, even the best high-end products, will not cost more than ten Quioli. I bet if he knew I was willing to pay thirty gold coins for his personal belongings, he would have given it with his hands in a sass. Now, help me talk to the merchant. If he's gone, you can catch up with him. In short, I want to see the paint and painting tools as quickly as possible. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!" said this, and the second one also turned away.

"Are there any beautiful women in the city?" Ashrufat asked the third man.

"This ......" The other party hesitated, perhaps he didn't expect a nobleman, a general who commanded a large army, to make such a request. However, it is believed that Ashrufat was actually just a mercenary from a low background, but he became a nobleman due to successful speculation. "There aren't many women in the city...... The plague before scared away more than half. Now what's left is ...... I'm afraid it won't be to your liking. However, I'm willing to take a closer look at your choice...... I think in a day or two I'll be able to find the perfect ...... for you."

"I don't want the kind of prostitute who spends the night with me. Ashrufat immediately interrupted. "Are there any noble girls in the city?"

A woman who can walk around the central castle and meet Barranca should have a noble status. Or at least the maid of some nobleman. Only in this way can you hide in a safe mansion in the city, but when you need to, you can enter the central castle.

"Your Excellency General...... "This poor soldier is very embarrassed. "I'm afraid your request will be ...... Cause some unwanted ...... Troublesome...... As far as I know, the only suitable noble woman in the city is the daughter of Baron Lorraine. The Baron had been seriously ill and could not leave the city of Neustria, so his family stayed with him......"

"Shut up!" Ashruphat glared at the guy. "I said, I don't need a woman to spend the night with!" he paused, deciding that it would be okay to reveal a little more. "I'm looking for a woman who can go in and out of the central castle at will, and even into the area where the high-ranking generals live. Other than that, the woman is relatively young, at least by no means elderly. She should be beautiful, and more importantly, he is quite familiar with the layout of the rooms in the central castle. That's the woman I'm looking for. Do you have a woman in your heart who meets the conditions I mentioned?"

"But, Your Excellency...... You know, since here...... Well...... After the militarized management, only middle- and high-level officers were allowed to enter and exit the central castle, and outsiders were not allowed to enter or leave. Even if it's the daughter of Baron Lorraine...... Not to mention the daughter, even the old man himself can't come in. ”

"What do you mean...... This woman is not a resident of the city...... It should be the family of some officer?" said Ashrufat, muttering. "And ...... At least a mid-level officer?"

"Your Excellency, that's what I think. In addition to that, since you said that you are younger, and then you are beautiful...... Then there are very few candidates left......"

"By the way, I forgot to say it, there is another possibility, this woman may not be a family member, just a maid or something. Ashrufat added. "In short, is there a woman who meets such conditions?"

"This ...... Your Excellency, General, I believe there should be, but it will take a little time to ...... carefully."

"One day. You don't need to bring anyone to me," Ashrufat held up a finger. "Just give me the list. ”
