After speaking, Ashuruffat found another thing from himself.This article started by putting two metal objects together on a table.

Balanca's eyes widened, looking at the two identical objects on the table in disbelief.There is no doubt that these two pieces of metalwork were definitely made by the same person.

"How is it possible... so to speak..." Balanka felt his mind was in a mess, and he looked at Ashrufat with incredulous eyes.This man named Ashurfat is... actually a believer of Chaos?

It's really ridiculous to say that the Supreme Commander of the church alliance against the Chaos Legion is actually a Chaos believer himself.How to fight this battle.This is almost equivalent to a person playing chess with himself-on the surface, it is a battle of two-color chess pieces, but in fact the outcome is entirely in the hands of one person without any suspense.

To put it bluntly, you can play however you want.

etc!Barranca quickly realized that he had made a mistake in thinking.It is impossible for Ashrufat to be a follower of Chaos.How could he be?There are so many exchanges between the church and the royal family, since the church is silent (the church is silent, it is enough to show that Ashuruffat is not a suspicious person, etc.), this is the best proof of Ashuruffat’s identity up.

It doesn't make sense to say that he has turned to Chaos in the near future.Obviously, Ashurfat has no need to seek refuge in Chaos, so what is the need for him?The Kingdom of Gruni had given him everything he needed.If Ashrufat wants power—to be honest, outsiders may not know, but Baranka knows very well that the little queen is completely obedient to Ashurfat, and it is the kind of complete love between lovers. trust.Barranca would not be surprised if in a few years he heard that Ashrufat married the little queen and became king himself.

Ashrufat wants wealth—well, the matter of the Xianghai Chamber of Commerce has long been no secret.In Falcon City, everyone knows that Ashrufat is a real rich man, the kind who makes money every day.In addition, it is said everywhere that he is a rich man.

Ashurfat wants women... To be honest, when a man has power, wealth, plus a healthy body and decent looks, will he lack women?Not to mention ordinary women, even if they have some special hobbies in this area, they can be easily satisfied.

Since Ashurfat is not a Chaos believer, the answer is obvious.

"Your Excellency," said Barranca. "I didn't expect you to have one." Balanka felt relieved after thinking about the whole situation.Firstly, Ashuruffat is not a Chaos believer, and secondly, he was not arrested in the name of "collaborating with Chaos", so it is clear what he is doing here.

Ashurfat smiled.He just saw the whole process of the change of Baranka's face, so even if he couldn't guess the subtle changes in Baranka's psychology, he could at least guess a general idea.

"Actually, I'm in the same situation as you," he said. "Let me guess, is the Chaos Wizard who came to you the one named Marvin?"

"Oh, it seems that I still underestimated Chaos." Baranka said lightly. "I didn't expect them to find you too."

"So, I want to know," Ashuruffat said, "What kind of conditions did Marvin ask you? Or you can ask: What did he say to you?"

Balanca did not hide it, nor did he intend to hide it.After a short while, he carefully repeated the negotiation between the two parties.Similar to what Ashurfat expected, the conditions proposed by Marvin are actually the same old ones.When Marvin first came into contact with Aishuruffat, he also put forward such a condition.Of course, after all, the transaction object has changed, so the details of the conditions have changed.But the essence is still the same thing: on the condition of defeating the invading Chaos Legion, they demand the right to freely move and preach (of course, within the scope of Baranka's power).

"It's really interesting..." Ashuruffat thought carefully after listening to Baranka's words. "Do you think this is a trap, or a genuinely sincere deal?"

"To be honest, I couldn't judge at the time." Barranca replied.Ashurfat's statement didn't make him feel uneasy, because the group of mercenaries can be said to be the group of people with the weakest religious beliefs in the world.Originally, those who engaged in blood-licking business were not pious people.Examples of lowering the flag and surrendering at critical moments, defection and the like are not uncommon among mercenaries.If there were anyone who traded with Chaos without particular distaste, mercenaries would undoubtedly be among them. "Of course, the possibility of a scam is very high. General Beler mentioned to me that Chaos is currently dividing his troops to attack and conquer the city. Let's not say whether they are doing it right or not. This action alone reveals the message: either it is theirs or not." The Commander is a general without much brains—but as a believer in Khorne, this is not impossible. Either they have something to rely on, and they are not afraid that we will take the opportunity to raid the base camp under Gaohua City. I agree with this point... ...and if they have anything to rely on..."

"That's some kind of... way to contain us." Ashuruffat took over the conversation. "A chaotic old trick, a scam. They have reason to be so confident, because they have succeeded in the same trick many times."

"That's right," Barranca said. "But right now, I think it's more likely that this thing is a hoax than it's a real deal."

"what?"

"Because you... To be honest, at the beginning, I had doubts. Why did he come to me? After all, I am not the supreme commander of the army. They are allowed to preach within the scope of my power... That sounds good, but how did they know I would have the power to sit on the side? I don't believe they have such power. On the contrary, the price they have to pay... Let us defeat the Chaos army, this is a real thing. "

"That's right," Ashuruffat said, but he thought about the Chaos Wizard named Luo Jin in his heart.There is no doubt that at that time, Luo Jin almost destroyed the [-] army with his own power!But Marvin didn't mind selling out such a key Chaos Wizard.

Even if they wanted to kill someone with a knife because of an internal struggle, at least they killed the donkey after the grind was over.From this point of view, Ashuruffat has reason to believe that what Marvin wants is far more than simply winning on the battlefield.If he had doubts about Marvin's "helping to defeat the Chaos Legion" before, after what happened that time, he no longer doubted it.

"In addition, he came to me, which is also very suspicious. If he came to you to make a deal, it is normal, because you have the command of the entire army, but he came to me... Does he think Do I have more power?"

"It makes sense, how do you understand his move?"

"Probably... first throw a bait like a picture cake, and wait until I am fooled, and then find a way to make me keep a handle. Finally, use this handle to threaten me." Balanka smiled and pointed at Ai The metal product in Rufat's hand. "A nasty, but undeniably clever and cunning strategy."

"How did you get this thing?" Ashuruffat was noncommittal and changed the subject.

"It's a bit strange to say... It seems that I met a beautiful woman in the castle..." Baranka recalled, "That beautiful woman gave it to me."

"Beauty?"

"Yes, I vaguely remember that she is a beautiful woman, a very beautiful woman." Balanka still had a puzzled face. "But I don't know why, it doesn't look like magic... In short, this memory is a bit vague. When I came back to my senses, I had already returned to my room, and then I found this thing on me. Then, that Chaos wizard named Marvin suddenly appeared?"

"Woman? Are you sure? Met in the city?" Ashuruffat immediately realized that something was not normal. "Can't you remember?"

"I remember seeing it suddenly after leaving your room... wait... damn it, it must be some kind of chaotic magic, I just remember it was a very beautiful woman, but I couldn't remember how long she was What is it like?"

Balanca recalled repeatedly, but she just couldn't tell what that woman was like, where she came from, and where she was going.However, he emphasized that the woman is beautiful, the kind of beauty that makes a man's soul blown away in an instant.Although Balanca felt that he had some self-control in this regard, this self-control did not work at all.

a woman?Ashuruffat was a little more puzzled.He originally thought that Balanca's method of obtaining this item was similar to his own—by inexplicably receiving a gift from a stranger.But things look different.

No, it should be said that this is normal.The soldier before actually came to the general's room to give gifts... This is an extremely risky action in itself, relying on the fact that Ashrufat has just arrived, and various security measures are not complete (in addition, due to the attack of chaos magic , the entire army was shaken), and he was very unfamiliar with military personnel, so he was able to do this.If someone suddenly delivered a certain box or something to Aishuruffat, let alone how the deliveryman passed the perimeter security, but at least Aishuruffat would definitely put it in front of him. He stayed to ask questions.

This is where the conversation is generally over.All that remains is the question of how to deal with the Chaos Sorcerer's deception.After some careful discussions, Ashuruffat finally decided that it would be best to let Belle know about this matter, but not the Church.Because Belle is a calm person, he will never do anything stupid because of religious fanaticism.On the other hand, he has been praised by the church and praised as a contemporary saint with noble conduct.

Of course, after actual contact, both Ashrufat and Baranka understand that these words are a kind of poetic exaggeration for Belle.But in any case, it is an indisputable fact that the relationship between Baylor and the church is excellent.With him coming forward, it is tantamount to guaranteeing this matter, at least there is a way out.

Ashuruffat didn't even take the magical positioning bauble after this conversation was over.He walked out of the room, and when he returned to the corridor, he slowly recalled the conversation he had with Barranca just now.

There is no doubt that Wizard Hundu wants to do something that has nothing to do with war, and there is no doubt about this.But why did he suddenly choose Barranca?In any case, it seems that Ashrufat is more suitable as a trading target?

Ashurfat still remembered the last meeting with Marvin, just after Luo Jin blew himself up and turned into blood and flesh fragments all over the floor.He suddenly realized that there was no reason for Marvin to go to Barranca again.Ashuruffat hadn't even had time to turn his back on Marvin.

Unless...he thinks that Ashuruffat is no longer suitable for trading with him for some reason.Because of this, Marvin had to find Barranca.

However, at least when Ashuruffat and Marvin met for the last time, Ashuruffat felt that nothing had changed.The only thing he did was kill Luo Jin... Well, this matter should have been included in Marvin's calculations.

There was a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he suddenly realized something.Why would Marvin do this, unless he thinks that Ash Rufat is dead...or, Ash Rufat is going to die soon, and he no longer has the ability to fulfill the deal.

By the way, Luo Jin blew himself up... because of this?Before he was just skeptical, but now he confirmed it.

"Because I..." He stood in the aisle and told himself in a voice only he could hear. "Isn't it an ordinary human?"
