Section 308 Preparation
Chapter 308 Preparation
Ashu Rufate knew a long time ago that he was not an ordinary person.
Putting aside physical strength, dark vision and other factors, he just doesn't need to eat, drink, or even sleep (of course, as long as he wants, he can eat, drink and sleep). This is a special ability beyond the concept of "humanity" and has nothing to do with magic. He has also pursued this issue, and the final conclusion is that he is probably a sacred knight in the church, or once a sacred knight. But for some reason (Ashu Rufate speculated that it was probably because of his practice of black magic), he abandoned his identity in the church and hid himself in some way.
Only the identity of the Holy Knight can explain the incredible phenomena in him.
If he remembers correctly, it seems that he has never had any disease since he recovered from injury. Of course, this may be the effect of black magic. As we all know, black magic has the effect of changing human physique, and many people embarked on the road of black magic in order to use black magic to get rid of evil diseases.
But what if this is not the effect of black magic? Then again, it should be normal for a person who does not need food, drink and sleep to get involved in a phenomenon that "will not get sick".
Only this explanation can explain everything that happened before very clearly.
If you say this, things are easy to understand. At that time, Luo Jin did not fail to perform magic, but that magic was completely useless to him. This is like fireball magic. If thrown into a pile of wood, it will naturally cause a fire. If thrown into a crowd, it will burn a large area of burns, but if thrown into the river...
At most, it will only make a little explosion.
From this point of view, the last magic released by the wizard Nurgre is not a magic failure, but definitely the most vicious and cruel evil magic he has mastered. The reason why Ash Rufate was not affected was entirely because of his special physique. If someone else had changed, he would undoubtedly suffer from some kind of evil disease that he could not survive or die.
This also shows why the "magic array connecting life" that Ma Wen made before was completely ineffective against Ash Rufate, and it was wiped off with a stone slab.
This is why Ma Wen immediately reacted like that when he saw that scene. To be honest, Ma Wen looked like a gambler had just won a vote, but he found that his capital had been stolen. It was the expression of swallowing a cockroach alive, but he found that the cockroach crawled in his throat, and he couldn't spit it out, and he couldn't swallow it.
Because Marvin knew the last evil magic that Luo Jin issued, but he didn't know about Ash Rufate's special physique. Therefore, he thought Ash Rufate was finished. Even if he didn't die on the spot, he would have lived for at least a few days. Such Ash Rufate had no value or significance to Marvin.
This is also why Marvin came to Baranka. He probably believed that once Asu Ruffat died, Baranka would have a high possibility of becoming the supreme commander. In fact, as mentioned earlier, if Asu Ruffat really died, the candidates for the supreme commander would undoubtedly be among the two candidates Belar and Baranka. Belar is a foreigner, which means that after the war, Baranka would become a 100% giant in the military in rewarding merits.
So... this time Parry took the initiative to attack and was defeated by the Chaos Legion... It was not an accident? It was part of a huge conspiracy? Indeed, because of Rafa, Eagle City had doubts about Parry's loyalty. It was unlikely that Parry would take office after Ashu Ruffat's death. In addition, after such a real defeat, Eagle City even saved the trouble of making excuses. If Parry had only 20% of the chance to be the head general, there was no chance now.
Ashu Rufate thought so and slowly moved forward.
It seems that it is really so-called that human calculations are worse than heaven's calculations. Ash Rufate suddenly realized that he finally had a trick to deal with the Chaos Wizard.
This should work.
By the way, there is that woman... Although Baranka himself admits that his memory is a bit blurry and he may have been hit by some kind of evil trick, he can still do more in this regard.
After a while, several lower-level officers who were summoned stood in front of Ashu Rufate.
"You are all locals... or at least those who have been in this city for a long time." Asu Ruffat looked at the strange soldiers. "I have something to do if you need your help..." His eyes were on the first officer. "Is there a library in the city of Newestria?"
"Yes, Lord General," the soldier replied loudly with his chest straightened. "The library of the church." He added.
"Very good, go find me a book...I want to read some records about being cursed by the Chaos Wizard...Nurg's Wizard." As he expected, the city of Neustria is now a large army camp, but that is the need of war. It is just a city itself, and it is a city of a little scale. This kind of city is generally a library and other facilities. "There are also relevant stories, the more the better."
"As for your order, General."
The first person turned around and left.
"Are there any pigments for sale in the city now?" Ashu Rufat asked the second one.
"Pear?" The soldier hesitated for a moment.
"Yes, paint, paint for painting." Ashu Rufat signaled, thinking of Aunt Mary's painting tools. "And brushes and so on." He was not very confident, 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, you may need to look for this... By the way, I remembered that I saw a businessman carrying such things two days ago..."
"Very good, so help me buy it." Ashu Rufat interrupted the other party. One portion... should be enough.
"But, Lord General, I think those should be private hobbies, not goods for sale."
"Dear sir, as long as the price is right, there is no thing that cannot be sold for the merchant." Ashrufate said. "A set of painting tools, even the best high-end products, will not cost more than ten golds. I bet that if he knew that I was willing to pay thirty gold coins to buy his personal goods, he would definitely serve the things with his hands. Now, help me talk to the merchant. If he has left, you can catch up with them quickly. In short, I hope to see the paint and painting tools as fast as possible."
"As for orders, General!" After saying this, the second person turned around and left.
"Are there any beautiful women in the city?" Ashu Rufat asked the third person.
"This..." The other party hesitated for a moment. Perhaps he did not expect that a nobleman, a general who commanded the army, would make such a request. However, there are some sayings that Ashrufate was actually just a low-born mercenary, but he had successfully speculated and became a nobleman. "There are not many women in the city... The plague before scared away most of them. Now the rest... may not be in your wish. However, I am willing to carefully choose for you... I think that as long as there is one or two days, I can find what you like..."
"What I want is not the kind of prostitute who spends the night with me." Ashu Rufat immediately interrupted the other party. "Is there any noble girl in the city?"
If you can walk around the central castle and meet the woman Baranka, you should have a noble status, or at least a noble maid. Only in this way can you usually hide in a safe mansion in the city and walk into the central castle when you need it.
"God General..." The poor soldier was in a dilemma. "Your request may... cause some unnecessary... trouble... As far as I know, the suitable noble women in the city are probably the daughter of Baron Lorraine. The Baron had been seriously ill before and could not leave the city of Neustria, so his family stayed with him..."
"Shut!" Ashu Rufat glared at the guy. "I said, I don't need a woman to spend the night with me!" He paused for a moment, thinking it would be okay to reveal more. "I want to find a woman who can enter and exit the central castle at will, or even enter the living area of the senior generals. In addition, this woman is younger, at least not an elderly person. She should be very beautiful, and more importantly, he is quite familiar with the layout of the room in the central castle. What I am looking for is such a woman. Do you have a woman in your heart that meets the conditions I mentioned?"
"But, General... you know, since here... well... militarized management, only middle and high-level military officers can enter and exit the central castle, and outsiders cannot enter and exit. Even Baron Lorrain's daughter... let alone daughter, even the old man himself cannot come in."
"You mean... this woman is not a resident of the city... but a family member of an officer?" Ashu Rufat pondered for a moment. "And... she is at least a middle-level officer?"
"God General, that's what I think. Besides, since you say you're young and beautiful, then there are very few candidates left..."
"By the way, I forgot to say that there is another possibility that this woman may not be a family member, but a maid or something." Ash Rufate added. "Anyway, is there a woman who meets this condition?"
"This... I believe there should be some, but it will take some time to carefully..."
"One day. Don't bring people to me," Ashu Rufate raised a finger. "Just put the list out for me."
