"This emblem... looks very familiar." Olivera stared at the blood dragon pattern, frowned, as if thinking about something. "By the way, I remembered... Oh, your pattern is also called the blood dragon?"

"Yes." Ash Rufate replied. "What did you say just now? 'Also'?"

"I've seen a similar pattern. To be honest, this kind of pattern is not common, so it's just an impression. By the way, where are you from?"

"A wandering mercenary, no country or home." Ashu Rufat said lightly. He stood up, took the shield on the nightmare horse, and took it to the table. "Doctor, have you seen something similar to my armor?"

"It should be said that it is a very similar heraldry." Of course Oliveira did not understand what Asu Ruffat was thinking at the moment, nor did she notice the unusual anxious expression on Asu Ruffat's face. "But there is a little difference in details. For example, here, the dragon's ears are different... Here, the dragon's claws are different..."

He pointed at the shield casually. Ashu Rufate seemed to listen to his explanation with a little curiosity, but in fact, his heart caused a huge wave with Oliveira's words. Deep in his heart, in a position that was isolated from the dark wall and could not be touched, waves were hitting the insurmountable wall.

The familiarity that came from nowhere once again made him tremble.

"Then... whose coat of arms is that?" If Oliveira had not been immersed in memories, he would have discovered the loss of Ash Rufate's conscience at this moment.

"In fact, it is not a herald of a person." Olivera replied. "It should be said that it is a herald of a unit. You know that the Kingdom of Ryan has a tradition. If it is a unit that has made special achievements, it has the right to have its own unique flag and be named after this flag. But although it is a flag, it is similar to a herald of a herald, and all members will be proud of this pattern. The blood dragon pattern I just mentioned is the flag of a knight army... I remember that it is not a large army, but a small army, a squadron, and forty or fifty members."

"Can I ask... further details? How is that army now?" Ashu Rufate tried his best to keep himself calm, or to look calm. He picked up his wine glass and took a big sip of mechanically, but could not suppress the tremor of his wrists. His instincts and intuition, or his remaining memories, told him the truth. The army Oliveira mentioned with the blood dragon as the banner must have a direct relationship with his past as a human being.

"A tragedy." Perhaps it was the effect of alcohol, or perhaps it was a deep feeling, Oliveira sighed a little. "A tragedy. If you ask about the situation of that unit, then I can tell you that the Blood Dragon Squadron was charged with betrayal and unauthorized action, and almost all the members died. Their past records were erased, and their flags were removed from the kingdom's classics. There were no Blood Dragon troops in the world."

A fierce impulse surged into Ash Rufate's heart, and indescribable anger and sadness suddenly occupied his mind. His hand had been clenched into a fist at some point. If he had not let his hand leave the wine glass just now, he would have crushed the cup unknowingly.

He took a deep breath and finally calmed himself down. Fortunately, the almost overflowing emotion just now did not last long, and it suddenly disappeared like it appeared.

"Doctor, it seems you know the process? Can you tell me in detail what kind of tragedy this is?"

"Young man," Oliveira stared at the shield on the table, looking at the blood dragon pattern, her eyes were confused by recalling the past. "You really asked the right person, maybe I am one of the few people in the world who really know the secret behind this. Do you know why the Blood Dragon Squadron was charged with that kind of crime? Or, what is the apparent reason?"

"Sorry, I know nothing." Ashu Rufate replied. He did not hear it. In fact, this is normal. For a country, the revocation of a force is not a special event (especially just a squadron). Even if this incident caused a sensation back then, it has long been forgotten by people, and even the rumors on the streets will not be mentioned.

"There are three crimes on the surface." Olivei stretched out three fingers. "First, he acted privately against the order. To be honest, this crime is very small. Second, he acted freely in the non-resident area and provoked trouble. This is not a crime at all. Third, he is a blatant betrayal and facing the king's sword!"

He looked at Ashu Rufate, "Usually, it is not an excessive matter to revoke a unit on this charge. And this charge cannot be made up. Do you think so?"

Ashurf nodded.

"However, the so-called betrayal is based on the 'trust of the other party'. If one of the two friends betrays the other for the sake of benefit, then the latter's revenge on the former cannot be called 'betrayal'. The same is true between superiors and subordinates. If the superiors first betrayals the trust of their subordinates, he is not qualified to accuse his subordinates of their "betrayal", at least that's what I think."

"Doctor...you mean... it's not that the Blood Dragon Squadron betrayed the King, but the King betrayed the Blood Dragon Squadron?"

"It's not appropriate to say that. Our King was a child at that time and didn't know anything. I remember that the prime minister in charge was Leto, Duke Leto, His Majesty's cousin? Or cousin?" Olivera replied. "Of course, the king has long been in charge of the administration."

He took out his pipe, lit it again, and took a deep breath.

"Can I listen to the specific process?" Ashu Rufate asked.

"This is just my family's words... Of course, it doesn't matter what you say now. After all, it's been so long since, no one cares about the truth behind it, and all the parties involved have died... But, young man, you seem to care very much about this matter."

"I really want to know this because of curiosity." Ashu Rufate smiled reluctantly. "And I have reason to believe you. A wise Boda scholar like you would not say such things if he was not very sure."

"Then I'll say it. As far as I know, the matter is roughly like this: since the church built an excavation site in Sivania, collected a large amount of labor and carried out excavation work, all countries were very interested in this matter. Although the church has always claimed that it was a religious work, it was very strict in the management of the excavation site itself and completely cut off external contact. Therefore, all countries (or forces) did not believe it, so they were trying to find out the truth. Among them, the Kingdom of Ryan was especially important. Because Syania itself was a new land developed by the Ryans (although Via was handed over to Tiberius. But after all, it was just an enclave for the Tiberius, and it was just an enclave for the Tiberius), in order to understand the truth about the excavation site, Leto, who was in power at that time, decided to send a capable and reliable force to investigate the details. So the Blood Dragon Squadron was selected."

"Of course, if this kind of spy work is made public, it will definitely be a diplomatic storm. So the whole event is secret. The Blood Dragon Squadron accepted this task - without a doubt, they were not told that if an accident occurs, they would be abandoned by the top leaders as abandoned."

"Then other things happened naturally. After the Blood Dragon Squadron arrived in Sivania, in order to maintain the secret of the overall action, he did not choose his own territory, but chose Via as the base of action. Their activities were effective and they got a lot of secrets from the church, which made the church angry. In order to cut off the curiosity of all forces and to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, after some of the interests behind it, the church and Ryan reached an agreement - according to my inference, the church probably satisfied Leto's private interests - in short, the details of the Blood Dragon Squadron controlled by the church. Then one day, the church attacked the Blood Dragon Squadron."

"You can imagine what will happen in this situation. However, the Blood Dragon Squadron actually resisted the raid, and most of the members successfully withdrew. The church pursued closely, and the Blood Dragon Squadron could not reveal their identity, so they could not get support and protection along the way. Even some Ryan troops, who were unaware of the truth, were attacked by them. The final result of this pursuit was that the Blood Dragon Squadron was almost completely destroyed. Their captain was captured and then charged with heresy, as if he was in Via? or something else, and was publicly stolen."

"Burned alive?!" Ashu Rufat asked. He was completely unaware that his voice had become hoarse and his whole body was shaking slightly.

"Is it stolen? Of course it is." Olivera replied. He felt that something was wrong with Ashu Rufate, but he didn't mind too much. After all, he was talking about a political topic that had long been gone and no one cares about now. "Maybe the church used to torture to force the information from other captured members, maybe they knew the details long ago, anyway, the church took this opportunity to attack the Ryans. Of course, Ryan denied it, and insisted that it had nothing to do with the top leaders. The Blood Dragon Squadron took the initiative to act privately. To prove this, they announced that the burned captain committed crimes such as violating orders and acting privately, and directly deprived him of his status and property. As for the others, those who died were in vain, and those who were captured were not cared about. These prisoners were either executed by the stolen or died in prison."

"But this hasn't ended yet. One thing happened next, that was the last member of the Blood Dragon Squadron, the only young man who escaped from the church's pursuit (I forgot the specific name), and found our little king in a public place. Of course, the little king knew nothing about such things (or he knew, but he just felt insignificant), and instead scolded the young man for being rude. So, like all tragedies, the final result was that the young man could not bear such persecution and betrayal, and injured the little king with a sword in his rage. In this way, the blood Dragon Squadron's betrayal was confirmed and there was no possibility of turning over again. Of course, even if this did not happen, they could not turn over. Oh... young man, what's wrong with you?"

In front of him, Ashu Rufate was lowering his head and clenching his fists with his hands tightly. Anyone could tell that it was a pose that was so emotional that it was almost irresistible.

Ashu Rufate seemed not to hear him, and continued to maintain this posture, his whole body trembling violently.

"Young man...young man? Asu Ruffatt!" Olivera said in shock. "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
