Section 31 Return

"What did you... do to me?" After a long time, Fei finally asked the vampire. "Have you turned me into your kind?"

"It's a pity that's not. You are still a human." There seemed to be a little regret in the vampire's answer. "Look at yourself now." He handed a mirror to Fei.

In the mirror, she looked like herself. The original bruises, stains and such things had all disappeared, and the skin on her face looked extremely delicate and smooth. Apart from this, she could not see that she was different from the past. She touched her body in a daze. Apart from this strange armor, it seemed that the parts of her body were no different from the past.

"And this!" The vampire left a few steps back, then suddenly drew out the sword and threw it over. The sword was spinning in the air, flying towards her with deadly power.

It was entirely instinct that she subconsciously reached out her hand and grabbed the hilt of the sword incredibly. Before she realized it, her body had already taken a step back and held the long sword and posed in a defensive position.

Her reason and memory told her that this was a strange action. But her body seemed to be extremely familiar with this action, as if this was the physical instinct she obtained after repeated training.

"Okay." Asu Rufate said. Although Carrie had explained it to him for a long time, it was still a bit incredible to witness it with her own eyes. Fei's current actions have far exceeded his previous ability range. Even by Asu Rufate's standards, they are quite strong.

"Put on the helmet." Ash Rufate said, and Fei picked up the last part of the armor from the ground. This helmet looked very simple, open-face armor. But holding the helmet, she suddenly remembered how to use the armor. It was a familiar and unfamiliar memory, as if she had been born to understand, but later for some reason, she remembered it again.

"Come with me." The vampire walked towards the arch. As the vampire approached the arch, a strange energy suddenly condensed from the entire arch, which condensed into a seemingly translucent mirror under the arch.

Fei walked towards the clearly visible mirror surface made of energy. The world changed around her. Just now, she was in a closed space of some unknown place, with all the walls around her. But at this moment, she had already arrived outside Via City, or more specifically, in a forest on the outskirts of the city. It was evening, and there were only a few rays of sunset in the sky emitting afterglow. Logically speaking, the field of vision was limited in this dim light, but for some reason, Fei found that she could clearly see the grass and trees around her, and even more so the walls of Via City in the distance.

"Try your power here." Ashu Rufate said to Fei. He sent a call to the neighborhood and immediately felt the response of the Nightmare Horse. The Nightmare Horse happened to be nearby. "Then do what you should do. Remember, no matter what, your body can't block bullets, crossbows and cannons. Fortunately, these things can be avoided."

The Nightmare Horse Races and Stops beside Ash Rufat. He jumps onto the horse and gallops towards the city. At the last moment when he turns his head, he sees Fei use Superman's power and skills to cut off a big tree with one sword.

"These are data collected from you," Carrie said in her mind. "I calculated the fighting style that suits her based on human mechanics and your fighting style. Of course, the disadvantage of this practice is also obvious, that is, it is difficult for her to improve her skills through exercise. But you see, at her current level, she can already serve as a good guard for you."

Ashrufat did not answer, he just stepped up his horse speed. He soon arrived in the city and arrived at the lord's mansion without any effort. He was sure that he should no longer have to spend any effort to poison. Now he just needs to pack up the things here, and of course, more importantly, take Mimilu away.

After leaving for so few days, Mimilu must have been anxious.

Because of his uniform, the guard at the door did not block the way. He walked in smoothly and headed towards the place he had before. It was time for dinner, and in a small corner on the roadside in front of Ashurufate, a small group of soldiers were eating simple dry food there, chatting and laughing while eating.

"...I'm just like that...ha, then the kid ran away in fear! Even forgot to bring his own luggage... It's really funny..."

The person who was talking was the big guard who had asked Ashu Rufate to get out of the way. He turned his head casually while talking and laughing, but he was seeing Ashu Rufate passing by.

"Hey, that boy named Ashu Rufate is back!" Another guard recognized Ashu Rufate. "It seems he didn't escape?"

"I think I'm here to get his luggage." The big man snorted coldly. "But he's unlucky when he hit me again!" He casually put his spear on the side and quickly caught up with Ash Rufate.

"Stop! Ashu Rufate, I remember I said," the big man grabbed Ashu Rufate's shoulder, "I will hit you once when I see you!"

He pulled Ash Rufate's body over and raised his fist at the same time. But before he swung his fist, he found Ash Rufate staring at him fiercely. For some reason, those eyes looked like an abyss at this moment. An indescribable sense of horror suddenly filled his body and mind, making him stiff. He could not even swing the punch that he had originally swung immediately.

The big man took a few steps back and calmed down. His companions were all watching him from behind, waiting for the inevitable conflict with interest. They did not find any abnormalities, and several were still cheering for the big man.

"Good boy, it looks a bit worthy! Last time I underestimated you..." Although the big man felt a strong intuition, he could only continue with his teeth as he watched so many people. However, his posture at this moment was not so much an attack, but rather an attempt to defend. He had lost the courage to take the initiative to attack.

Ashu Rufate stared at him motionlessly, and after a long time, he spoke in a low voice.

"The moment your eyes meet me, your instinct has already told you who is whose prey. So please remove your disguise, lower your posture, and leave me quietly."

After saying that, he sorted out his clothes that were messed up by the big man and turned around to continue on the road. The big man was stunned. After a few minutes, when Ash Rufate walked away, his companions walked up with curiosity.

"What happened just now?" A guard patted the big man on the shoulder with his hand. The latter suddenly fell to the ground, his whole body trembling with fear.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"Isn't there a chronic disease attack? Is it like this?"

"I'm fine...I'm fine..." Only the big man knew what was going on, and only he felt the intuition and fear that had just emanated from Ashu Rufat, which seemed to thrust his heart and could not resist.

That Ashu Rufate...is not a human!

...

Ashu Rufate came to the door of his room. Before he opened the door, a black shadow jumped out of the slant and rushed into his arms.

"Mimilu, I'm back." Ashu Rufat gently touched Mimilu's head. Suddenly disappeared for several days, and Mimilu was a little scared.

"Master, where have you been?" Mimilu looked aggrieved.

"Just go to do something, we're leaving, Mimilu. Leave here and meet Baron Pinold!"

"Leave? But isn't the master responsible for poisoning? But what have you done yet?" Mimilu blinked.

"It's no longer necessary," Ash Rufate replied. "Because Hassel will die within a day or two. Because I didn't kill him, there's no need to worry about who I will attract."

...

Beside the long table, the Lord of Via was enjoying his supper.

He was the only one by the table. This was because he didn't plan to stay in this ghost place for too long, so his wife and children were in the distant land of Tiberius. The situation in front of him was not very good, but it was similar to what he expected, and there were still several key points to be cleared. But in about a few months, you should be able to borrow the summons back to the capital.

Speaking of which, it was because he was too impatient, so he offended some people and was eventually driven to this ghost place far away from the local area and full of dangers. There are endless dangers here, from ghouls to plagues, and the worst was the mysterious vampire. Those undead legions all came to the city of Via!

As for the next step, he had already thought clearly. A good marriage will bring great political benefits. He also had a good goal, a widow from a famous family and a mixed force behind him. In the face of the benefits brought by this marriage, his current wife seems insignificant. A widower is matched with a widow and has a fair status. The only question is how to become a widow? Especially under the premise that everything is reasonable and does not attract any attention.

His dinner was quite hearty, and the main course was a butter-grilled hen with a perfect grill, plus a bottle of wine that was aged. In addition to the main course, there are local specialties such as fruit, a lamb stewed with garlic, some color-matched vegetables, and a spicy and sour fish soup made of a large trout.

This is also the greatest enjoyment in this ghost place. Yes, it is easy to find a woman for his status and wealth. From female slaves to prostitutes, he can choose from everything from immature to sophistication. However, it is difficult to maintain a reputation of "unstoppable private life". This reputation will bring a lot of convenience to his future. For example, when proposing to a widow, having such a reputation can greatly reduce the difficulty.

He is not old yet. In fact, he is just over forty years and has great prospects in his career. For future development, restraining one thing is the price that must be paid.

Of course, he paid more attention to safety. Ordinary nobles would only arrange a servant to test the poison, while he had four. It was through this arrangement that he successfully lived to this day in Sivania.

He took his last bite of chicken, took a big sip of fish soup, and wiped his mouth with a napkin. These are the etiquettes he studied seriously and maintained at all times. Even the most picky nobles would be satisfied with his actions. Who can know that he was once a knight from a civilian origin? Yes, knights from a civilian origin are not rare, but there are only a handful of people who can become lords, such as him. In order to get to this point, he has taken countless steps of lies and betrayal.
