Blood Dragon

Section [-] Preparations

Ashurfat knew long ago that he was no ordinary person.

Aside from physical fitness, dark vision and other factors, the fact that he doesn't need to eat, drink, or even sleep (of course, he can eat, drink, and sleep as long as he wants) is a big deal. There is a problem.This is a special ability beyond the concept of "human", and it has nothing to do with magic or anything.He has also pursued this issue, and the final conclusion is: He is probably a holy knight of the church, or once was a holy knight.But for some unknown reason (Ashuruffat speculated that it was probably because he was practicing black magic), he abandoned his identity in the church and hid himself in some way.

Only the identity of a holy knight can explain the incredible phenomenon on him.

If he remembered correctly, it seemed that he hadn't really suffered from any illness since he recovered from his injury.Of course, this could be the effect of black magic.As we all know, black magic has the effect of changing human physique. Many people have embarked on the road of black magic, precisely because they want to use black magic to get rid of serious diseases.

But what if it wasn't the effect of black magic?Having said that, it should be normal for a person who does not need to eat, drink and sleep, even if there is a phenomenon of "not getting sick".

Only this explanation can explain everything that happened before very clearly.

Putting it this way, things are easy to understand.At that time, Luo Jin did not fail to cast magic, but the magic didn't work for him at all.This is like fireball magic. If you throw it into a pile of wood, it will naturally cause a big fire. If you throw it into a crowd, it will burn a lot of people, but if you throw it into a river...

At most, there will only be a little popping sound.

From this point of view, the last spell released by Wizard Nurgle is not a failure of magic, but definitely the most vicious and cruel sorcery he has mastered.The reason Ashuruffat was not affected was entirely because of his unique physique.If it was another person, he would undoubtedly suffer from some kind of serious disease that could not survive or die.

This also explains why the so-called "magic circle that connects life" that Marvin made before was completely ineffective against Ashrufat, and it was wiped off with a stone flake.

That's why Marvin reacted that way immediately when he saw that scene.To be honest, Marvin's expression at that time was exactly like a gambler's expression when he just won a vote, but found out that his capital had been stolen.It was the appearance of swallowing a cockroach alive, only to find that the cockroach was crawling in the throat, unable to spit it out, and unable to swallow it.

Because Marvin knew the sorcery that Luo Jin cast last, but he didn't know the special physique of Aishuruffat.So, he thinks Ashurfat is finished.Even if he was not killed on the spot, at least he would have a few days to live.Such ashrufat has no value or meaning to Marvin.

That's why Marvin came to Barranca.It is estimated that he believes that once Ashrufat dies, Baranka has a great possibility to become the supreme commander-in fact, as mentioned earlier, if Ashurfat is really dead, then the supreme commander The candidate will undoubtedly be produced between the two candidates Baylor and Barranca.And Beler is a foreigner, which means that after the war, Barranca will 100% become a giant in the military circle in terms of rewards for meritorious deeds.

So... this time Parry took the initiative and was defeated by the Chaos Legion... Wasn't it an accident?But part of a larger conspiracy?Indeed, because of Rafa, Falcon City has doubts about Parry's loyalty.After Ashrufat's death, the possibility of Parry taking the position was not very high. Coupled with such a real defeat, Falcon City didn't even have to find excuses.If it is said that Parry had only a [-]% chance of being the captain, now he has no chance at all.

Ashe Rufat thought about it, he moved forward slowly.

It seems that the so-called man is not as good as the sky.Ashurfat suddenly realized that he finally had a way to deal with the Chaos Wizard.

This should work.

By the way, there is also that woman... Although Baranka himself admits that his memory is a little fuzzy, and he may have been under some kind of magic, he can still do more in this regard.

After a while, several junior officers who had been summoned stood in front of Aishuruffat.

"You are all locals...or at least people who have been in this city for a long time." Ashuruffat looked at these strange soldiers. "I need your help with something..." His gaze rested on the first officer. "Is there a library in Newsteria?"

"Yes, Your Excellency the General," the soldier straightened his chest and replied loudly. "The church library," he added.

"Very good, you can find a book for me... I want to read some records about people who were cursed by the wizards of Chaos... the wizards of Nurgle." Ashuruffat replied with satisfaction.As he expected.Newstria City is now a large military camp, but that is the need of the war.It's just a city in itself, and it's a city of a certain size. This kind of city is usually full of libraries and other facilities. "Relevant stories are fine, the more the better."

"As you order, Your Excellency the General."

The first person turned around and left.

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

"Paint?" The soldier hesitated.

"Yes, paints, paints for painting." Ashuruffat gestured, he remembered Aunt Mary's painting tools. "There are also paintbrushes and the like." He was not very confident about this, because as mentioned earlier, most of the situation in the city has been evacuated to the rear, and there should be no merchants selling such things now.

"Well, this may need to be searched... By the way, I remembered, I saw a businessman carrying such things two days ago..."

"Very good, then help me buy it." Ashuruffat interrupted the other party.One... should be enough.

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

"My dear sir, as long as the price is right, there is nothing that cannot be sold to a merchant." Ashuruffat said. "A set of painting utensils, even the best high-end products, will cost no more than ten golden oligos. I bet, if he knows that I am willing to pay thirty gold coins for his personal items, he will definitely be crazy Now, help me to talk to the merchant. If he has left, you can catch up quickly. In short, I hope to see the paint and painting tools as quickly as possible."

"Of order, Your Excellency the General!" After saying this, the second one also turned and left.

"Are there any beautiful women in the city?" Ashuruffat asked the third person.

"This..." The other party hesitated for a moment, maybe he didn't expect a nobleman, a general in command of an army, to make such a request.However, there is a saying that Ashurfat is actually just a mercenary from a lowly background, who became a nobleman because of his success in speculation. "There are not many women in the city...the previous plague scared away most of them. The ones left now...I'm afraid they won't suit you. However, I am willing to choose carefully for you...I think, as long as there are one or two In a few days, I can find you what you like..."

"What I want is not the kind of whore who spends the night with me." Ashuruffat immediately interrupted the other party. "Are there noble girls in the city?"

The woman who was able to walk around the central castle and meet Barranca must be a nobleman.Or at least some nobleman's maid.Only in this way can he hide in a safe mansion in the city at ordinary times, but can enter the central castle when needed.

"Your Excellency General..." The poor soldier was very embarrassed. "Your request may... cause some unnecessary... trouble... As far as I know, the only suitable noble woman in the city is the daughter of Baron Lorraine. The baron was seriously ill before and couldn't leave Newstria City, so his family stayed with him..."

"Shut up!" Ashuruffat glared at the guy. "I said, I don't need a woman to spend the night with me!" He paused, thinking it would be okay to reveal a little more. "I want to find a woman who can enter and leave the central castle at will, and even enter the living area of ​​senior generals. Besides, this woman is relatively young, at least not old. She should be beautiful, and more importantly, he I am quite familiar with the layout of the rooms in the central castle. What I am looking for is such a woman. Do you have a woman who meets the conditions I mentioned?"

"However, Your Excellency General...you know, since here...well...after militarized management, only mid-level and high-level military officers can enter and leave the central castle, and outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave. Even the daughter of Baron Lorraine...don't say It's a daughter, even the old man himself can't come in."

"You mean... this woman is not a resident of the city... but should be a family member of an officer?" Ashuruffat pondered for a moment. "And... at least a middle-level officer?"

"Your Excellency, I think so. In addition, since you said that you are younger and look beautiful...then there are very few candidates left..."

"By the way, I forgot to mention. There is another possibility. This woman may not be a family member, but a maid or something." Ashuruffat added. "Anyway, is there a woman who meets such conditions?"

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

"One day. No need to bring anyone to see me," Ashuruffat raised a finger. "Just give me the list."
