Three hundred and seventy-sixth chapter epilogue
End of Chapter 376
"Are you still... going?" the little girl interrupted Ash Rufate's words.
"Well, I've told you last night," said Ashu Rufate.
"You want to bring Xingke back from Chaos? But what if she is dead?"
"She is not dead yet, I'm pretty sure of that." Ash Rufate replied
"I mean...will she die after you set off?" asked the little girl. She knew she had no position to say this. The reason for Xingke's incident was her arrangement. Yes, it was indeed planned by Rotia, but the little girl knew that she had made the final decision.
The achievements of subordinates are the achievements of the monarch, but the same is true for subordinates...the mistakes of the monarch. Not to mention that Xingke took the initiative to stop her (and of course, it was also to protect Xingjian), and only suffered from her current fate.
This is why she couldn't make this request with confidence.
"I want to confirm that she is dead, and if possible, bring her body back." Ash Rufate said. "But I think this possibility is very small. Since she did not die that night... there should be some reason... she will live, those Chaos believers..."
Ashu Rufate turned halfway and patted a book on the table with his hand. This book is one of the books published by the church - books about Chaos. Similar to other books, this book records the evil of Chaos and the evil deeds they committed, one of which is that the Chaos Legion often abducts civilians.
Of course, these were not invented out of nothing by the church, but indeed facts. Wherever the Chaos Legion passed, the damage caused was absolutely overwhelming. No one could survive within the reach of their power. It is recorded that a large number of unfortunate people became victims of the blood sacrifice of the terror believers, and those who survived were forcibly captured. The fate of these people who were taken away was unknown (because there was no relevant detailed information), but the church's books say that they became slaves to the Chaos believers, and were forced to change their faith under the threat of death, and from then on they became believers of evil gods.
However, some people heard some rumors from the mouths of the Chaos Captain. It is said that several holy knights from the Gods Church of the Star Realm defected to the Chaos side. These traitors were unexpectedly favored by the evil gods and became Chaos Lords. In addition to the holy knights, there are also rumors that people from the south have obtained a high status in the Chaos Society. However, the main protagonists of this type of rumor are magicians.
The little girl also saw this book in her eyes - she had read this book. Unlike other books, this book records the only rumor about the terrorists capturing the captives. The rumor is roughly that the terrorists captured a knight on the battlefield. The leader of Chaos actually saved his life because of appreciating the knight's bravery, but only captured him. In the end, the captive changed his faith and became a member of the terrorists, and finally became a Chaos champion warrior. But in the end, the traitor ushered in his own doomsday on the battlefield where Groney was invaded and was killed. The person who killed him finally recognized his identity and then learned from the captured Chaos believers that happened to this person in the past. This incident was so rare that it was finally recorded.
Ashu Rufate pushed the book away and sighed softly. The wilderness in the north...the Chaos Force, this is not a pleasant trip no matter how you think about it.
"But that's really... it's very dangerous..." the little girl said softly. She didn't know when, her eyes were filled with tears. "You're going alone..."
"Going to that kind of place, it's more dangerous to take an army than to be alone." Ashu Rufate said with a smile. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself."
If he hopes to comfort the other party with his smile, then this plan will not be realized at all.
The little girl suddenly rushed over and threw herself into her arms. "For me, don't leave, okay?"
Ashu Rufate slowly stretched out his hand and hugged her petite body in his arms. His voice rang directly into the little girl's ears.
"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 was a life-saving grace. Moreover, they were my wives... Although there was no formal wedding ceremony, although there were some twists and turns behind it, I must admit that at that time, I really planned to marry them, and they really... planned to marry me..."
The voice paused, and then rang again, and the tone of speaking became gentler, but it made the little girl cry more and more. This was not the first time she had cried today, but this time it was... sadness and tears of parting. Because she already knew in her heart that this matter could not be changed.
She is such a proud and deeply in love woman that she can't even say anything except tears at this moment.
"This is my responsibility to them..." Ashu Rufat whispered. "You should be able to understand...it's just like the responsibility your blood gives you..."
She told herself to be strong for the 100th time in her heart, and then she broke free from Ash Rufate's arm. She wiped her tears with her sleeves - this action is actually very indecent and the queen can never do it. But now she is no longer the queen - of course, there are still some procedures - what does it matter?
"I must come back, you have to know..." The little girl wiped away her tears hard. "I will still be the queen."
"I know, my mother-in-law told me." Ashu Rufat said. "Tell me quietly."
"What did she say?"
"Bol... Your Majesty, I'm afraid there will be no children. During the days of imprisonment, his soul may not be polluted, but his body has been greatly damaged." Ashu Rufate said. "Actually, what my mother-in-law is right. His superiority is the best choice. Although Groney seems powerful, in fact, this war... has exhausted her and needed time to recuperate. We need time to digest the results of victory and consolidate everything. However, if you continue to be on the throne, other countries may not give us time because of fear. But it will be completely different if it is Bool. The throne..." he said. "I just left you temporarily, but helped you avoid a dangerous, extremely difficult trap."
"When will you leave?" she asked.
"I think, tomorrow night, or the day after tomorrow." Ash Rufate said. "I don't want to make it exciting, everyone knows it. This is just my personal matter, I hope... can leave quietly." He smiled. "What should be done has been done.
"I... want to send you away." The little girl made the last request, which was also an undeniable request.
Time is dawn.
At this time, the city of Neustria was still very quiet. The whole city was immersed in this rare tranquility. It was as if after the storm of war, everything was now relieved, wanting to enjoy as much quietness as possible.
As mentioned earlier, this is a big city located on the plain, but almost all residents have been evacuated due to the war. Now, the residents of both the city and the suburbs have not yet returned to normal levels, so the suburbs of dawn seem very empty.
Ash Rufate has already put on travel clothes. This suit is a very common cheap travel clothes, leather, but to adapt to this season, it is lined with cashmere. However, this one can be removed - if the temperature rises. Outside the travel clothes, he put on a gray coarse cloak. This is also a favorite equipment for travelers, which can block the wind and resistant to dirt. In addition, if necessary, it can also serve as a blanket, mattress and other roles. Travelers who are not particular about life can often wrap the cloak and lie directly on the ground to sleep.
To be honest, this is not the dress of a noble at all. Aristocrats, even if they are not very particular, will not dress like this and go out.
Ashrufate also brought a horse. Anyone who has a little research on horseback can see that this is a very ordinary riding horse and has nothing to do with the famous horse and BMW. In addition, the saddle bag on the horse's back is not very big. A normal-quality long sword and a unique short spear are placed on the edge of the saddle bag. It can be seen that there must be nothing good inside. However, there was an accident. There was another bag next to the saddle bag, with half a harp on it.
But this is not surprising. For lonely travelers, a little music adjustment should be a normal demand.
No matter which angle, the equipment prepared by Ash Rufate can only be described as "shrimp". Apart from that harp, there is almost nothing good.
The people who came to see each other off were even more shabby. Because no matter how they calculated, there were only two people.
One person is the boss lady of "Red Rose", the queen (currently considered queen) temporary tutor of His Majesty, Rortiya, and the other is the little girl.
Xingjian's situation was not very good, and he was still recuperating from Gaohua City. Although the doctor had promised Ashu Rufat that she would not have any trouble, she could no longer act. Others, such as Essin, Scadra and others who are now in the city, didn't even know that Ashu Rufat would leave today.
"Well, it's enough to get here." Ashu Rufate looked at the sky in the distance. It was really dawn now, and even the sunrise had not begun. He reached out and grabbed the reins of the horse and wanted to get on the horse.
"Wait!" the little girl suddenly shouted. "Can you... play a song?"
Ashrufate took the harp from the horse's back. This is an exquisite musical instrument made by the elves. It is called "Wings of Silver" by humans. It was once considered a "rare treasure" level treasure in the past and is something countless bards dream of. However, in recent years, with the deepening of trade with the elves, various exquisite objects made by the elves have indeed increased significantly in the human world.
When Ashu Rufate was a guard, he once shot the little girl. But then he didn't have the time to do so.
"Play that song..." said the little girl, "that song from Garunas."
Speaking of which, the key reason why Garunas is called a wise man rather than a general, a master, or a master is that he has profound attainments in all aspects. In addition to politics, diplomacy, military, and so on, he also showed incredible talents in poetry, music, architecture, etc. However, although his attainments in music are recognized, there are not many songs passed down. In fact, Ashu Rufate only knows one song, which was shown to him by the little girl.
Ashrufate gently plucked the strings with his hand. The pleasant sound of the piano rang out immediately, echoing in the empty suburb sky, and then slowly disappeared.
The little girl began to dance gracefully against the sound of the piano.
"... I met you with you sincerely; I pursue this dream with you... I met you with your sincere arms; I took me out of trouble..."
The little girl's still young song sounded, which was Garunas's song. Although I don't know what circumstances he wrote this song at that time, anyone can hear it. This is a song of parting. Maybe it's not just a song of parting.
This is the dance she spent a day practicing, and it was also a gift she gave to him. She knew a long time ago that she was very talented in dancing, even Ashu Rufate said so. So, even for a short time, at this moment, she hoped to completely attract his gaze to herself and only stay on her. She danced seriously, and Ashu Rufate's gaze was indeed unconsciously attracted by her dance steps. At this moment, all his attention was on her, quietly watching her elegant but energetic dance.
However, when the song stopped, the song finally ended.
A spring breeze mixed with coldness blew. Ashu Rufate jumped onto the horse's back and made a farewell gesture to the two passers-by. When he wanted to ride a horse and leave, he heard the little girl shouting.
"Please...must come back!"
The sound of horse hooves went away, and soon, only Rotia and her were left here.
"It will take at least two or three years for him to go to Chaos this time." Rotia said in a difficult to describe.
This is not her talk nonsense. In the past, Groney, or the seven central countries, often sent a few spies to sneak into the Chaos Realm to inquire about the news. Only a few of them came back, and the fastest of those who came back took two or three years. This is because the Chaos Realm is actually larger than anyone imagined.
"Well." The little girl looked into the distance. Her eyes were filled with a firm look. "At that time... I will definitely become a good woman who can match him."
The long chapter has finally ended, and the next chapter is the Chaos Chapter.
Chapter completed!
