Blood Dragon

Chapter 370 Ending of the Sixth Section

"Are you... still going?" The little girl interrupted Ashuruffat.

"Well, last night, I already told you." Ashuruffat said.

"You want to bring Xing Ke back from Chaos? But what if she is already dead?"

"She's not dead yet, I'm sure of that." Ashuruffat replied

"I mean...after you set off, did she die?" the little girl asked.She knew that she had no position to say this, the matter of Xing Ke was ultimately due to her arrangement.That's right, it was indeed planned by Luo Diya, but the little girl knew that she had made the final decision.

The achievements of the subordinates are the achievements of the monarch, but in the same way, the mistakes of the subordinates... are the mistakes of the monarch.Not to mention that Xing Ke took the initiative to break it to protect her (of course also to protect Xing Jian), and only then suffered the current fate.

That's why she couldn't make this request confidently.

"I want to confirm that she is dead, and bring her body back if possible." Ashuruffat said. "However, I think this possibility is very small. Since she didn't die that night... There should be some reason... She will be alive, those followers of Chaos..."

Ashurfat turned half of his body and patted a book on the table with his hand.This book is one of the books issued by the church—the books about chaos.Like the other books, this one chronicles the evils of Chaos and their deeds, one of which is that Chaos legions often abduct civilians.

Of course, these are not invented by the church out of thin air, but are indeed facts.Wherever the Chaos Legion passed, the damage caused was absolutely overwhelming.No one survived within their reach.It is recorded that a large portion of the unfortunate fell prey to the blood sacrifices of Khorne's followers, and those who survived were forcibly taken away.The fate of these people who were taken away is unknown (because there is no relevant detailed information), but church books say that they became slaves of Chaos believers, and were forced to change their beliefs under the threat of death, and became believers of evil gods ever since.

However, some people heard some rumors from the prisoners of Chaos.It is said that several holy knights from the church of the gods in the star field defected to the side of chaos.These traitors were unexpectedly favored by the evil gods and became Lords of Chaos.In addition to the holy knights, there are also rumors that some people from the south have gained a higher status in the chaotic society.However, the protagonists of this type of rumors are mainly magicians.

The little girl's eyes also saw this book—she had also read this book.Unlike other books, this book records the only rumor about Khorne believers taking captives.The rumors were roughly that the followers of Khorne captured a knight on the battlefield, and the leader of Chaos actually spared his life because he admired the knight's bravery, only to capture him.Eventually, the captive converted and became one of the followers of Khorne, eventually even becoming a Chaos Champion.But in the end, the traitor met his doom on the battlefield of the invasion of Gruene, and was killed.Those who killed him finally recognized his identity, and then learned what happened to this man in the past from the mouths of the captured Chaos followers.This incident was so rare that it was finally recorded.

Ashuruffat pushed the book away and sighed softly.The northern wilderness... the forces of chaos, this is not a pleasant journey no matter how you think about it.

"But that's really... really... very dangerous..." the little girl said softly.At some point, her eyes were filled with tears. "You are going alone..."

"It's more dangerous to go to that kind of place with an army than alone." Ashuruffat said with a smile. "Don't worry, I'll take care of myself."

If he hoped to comfort the other party with his smile, then this intention has not been realized at all.

The little girl rushed over suddenly and threw herself into her arms. "For me, don't go, okay?"

Ashuruffat slowly stretched out his hand and hugged her petite body in his arms.His voice rang directly in the little girl's ear.

"I should have told you my story... when I lost my memory and fell into a coma, it was the two of them... who saved me. This is a life-saving grace. Moreover, they are my wives... although there is no official wedding Although there were some twists and turns behind the ceremony, I have to admit that at that time, I really planned to marry them, and they really... planned to marry me..."

The voice paused for a moment, and then it rang out again. The tone of the voice became more and more gentle, but it made the little girl cry more and more.This was not the first time she cried today, but this time it was... sad and parting tears.Because she already knew in her heart that this matter could no longer be changed.

She was such a proud and so in love woman that she couldn't even say anything more than tears at the moment.

"This is my responsibility to them..." Ashuruffat said softly. "You should be able to understand... this is like the responsibility your blood gives you..."

She told herself to be strong for the hundredth time in her heart, and then she broke free from Ashuruffat's arm.She wiped away her tears with her sleeve—this gesture is actually very unsightly, and the queen must never do it.But now that she's not the Queen's - of course there are formalities - what does it matter

"You must come back, you must know..." The little girl wiped away her tears vigorously. "I'll still be queen."

"I know, my mother-in-law told me." Ashuruffat said. "Tell me quietly."

"What did she say?"

"Bohr...Your Majesty, I'm afraid it is impossible to have an heir. During the days of captivity, his soul may not have been polluted, but his body was greatly devastated." Ashuruffat said. "Actually, my mother-in-law is right. His superior position is the best choice. Although Gruni seems to be strong, in fact, this war...has exhausted her, and she needs time to recuperate. We need time to digest the results of victory and consolidate everything. .But if you stay on the throne, other countries may not give us time because of fear. But it is completely different with Boll. The throne..." he said. "I just left you temporarily, but helped you avoid a dangerous trap that was originally extremely difficult to deal with."

"When are you leaving?" she asked.

"I think, tomorrow night, or dawn the day after tomorrow." Ashuruffat said. "I don't want to make a fuss, everyone knows. This is just my personal matter, I hope... can leave quietly." He smiled. "Everything that needs to be done has been done

"I... want to send you away." The little girl made the last request, which was also a request that could not be refused.

The time is dawn.

At this time, the city of Newsteria was still very quiet.The whole city is immersed in this rare tranquility.It's as if after the stormy din of war, all are now relieved to enjoy as much peace and quiet as possible.

As mentioned earlier, this is a large city located on a plain, but almost all the residents were evacuated due to the war.Residents in both the city and the suburbs have not yet returned to normal levels, so the suburbs at dawn appear to be very empty.

Ashurfat had already put on his traveling clothes.The suit was the usual cheap travel suit, leather, but lined with some cashmere for the season.This one can be removed though - should the temperature rise.Over his traveling clothes he wore a gray coarse cloak.It's also a traveler's go-to gear, as it's windproof, dirt-resistant, and doubles as a blanket, quilt, and more if the need arises.Those travelers who are not particular about life can often wrap their cloaks and sleep directly on the ground.

To put it bluntly, this is not the dress of an aristocrat at all.Nobles, even those who are not very particular, would not go out dressed like this.

Ashuruffat also brought a horse.Anyone who has a little research on horses can see that this is a fairly ordinary riding horse, which has nothing to do with famous horses or BMWs.In addition, the saddle bag on the horse's back is not very big. An ordinary long sword and a short spear are placed beside the saddle bag. It can be seen that there must be nothing good in it. .But there was a surprise, there was another bag next to the saddlebag, and a small half of a harp was exposed from it.

But this is not surprising, for a lonely traveler, a little music adjustment should be a normal demand.

No matter from which point of view, the equipment that Ashurfat prepared for this trip can only be described as "shabby".There's hardly anything good about it except that harp.

Those who come to see off are even more shabby.Because no matter how you calculate, there are only two people.

One is the proprietress of "Red Rose", and the temporary tutor of Her Majesty the Queen (currently still the Queen), Rodia.The other is a little girl.

Xingjian's condition is not very good, and he is still recuperating in Gaohua City.Although the doctor had assured Aishuruffat that she would be fine, she couldn't move anymore.And others, such as Essien, Skadra and others who are in the city now, they don't even know that Ash Rufat will leave today.

"Well, it's enough to get here." Ashuruffat looked at the distant sky.It was really dawn, and the sun had not even begun to rise.He reached out and grabbed the horse's reins, trying to get on the horse.

"Wait!" The little girl suddenly called out. "Can... play a song?"

Ashuruffat took the harp from his horse.This is an exquisite musical instrument made by the elves. It is called the "Silver Wing" by humans. It used to be regarded as a "rare treasure" level treasure, and it was the dream of countless bards.However, with the deepening of trade with elves in the past few years, the exquisite items made by various elves have indeed increased significantly in the human world.

When Ashrufat was a guard, he played for the little girl.But then there was no such leisure time.

"Play that one..." the little girl said, "The one by Garunas."

Speaking of which, the key reason why Garunas is called a sage rather than a general or a master is that he has profound attainments in all aspects.In addition to politics, diplomacy, and military affairs, he also showed incredible talents in poetry, music, and architecture.However, although his attainments in music have been recognized, but not many pieces have been handed down.In fact, Ashuruffat only knows one song, and it was shown to him by the little girl.

Ashuruffat gently plucked the strings with his hands.The melodious sound of the piano sounded immediately, echoing in the empty suburban sky, and then slowly disappeared.

The little girl began to dance to the sound of the piano.

"... I once met you who was with you sincerely; I chased this dream with me... I once met your sincere arm; took me out of the adversity..."

The little girl's still immature singing sounded, it was the song of Garunas.Although it is not known under what circumstances he composed this song, anyone can tell that it is a farewell song.Maybe more than a parting song.

It was a dance she had spent the day practicing, and it was her gift to him.She knew long ago that she had a talent for dancing, even Ashuruffat said so.Therefore, even if it was a short time, at this moment, she hoped to be able to completely attract his gaze to her, and only stay on her.She danced seriously, and Ashuruffat's eyes were indeed attracted by her dance steps unconsciously.At this moment, all his attention was on her, quietly watching her graceful but energetic dance.

However, when the singing stopped, the song finally ended.

A gust of spring wind mixed with chill came.Ashuruffat jumped on the horse and made a farewell gesture to the two senders.When he was about to ride his horse away, he heard the little girl shouting.

"Please...be sure to come back!"

The sound of horseshoes went away, and soon, only Luodia and her were left here.

"His trip to Chaos...at least two or three years." Rodia said in an indescribable tone.

It's not like she's talking nonsense.In the past, Gruene, or the Central Seven Kingdoms, would often send a small number of spies to sneak into the realm of chaos to inquire about news.Only a few of them came back, and of those who did, the fastest took two or three years.This is because the realm of chaos is actually wider than anyone imagined.

"En." The little girl looked into the distance.There was a determined look in her eyes. "At that time... I will definitely become a good woman who can match him."

The long chapter is finally over, and the next chapter is Chaos.
