Chapter 274 Capital

"Specific deal..." Ashu Rufate took a deep breath. The fool could see that this Chaos Wizard named Marvin had bad intentions, but there was really no second choice at the moment.

If you let the Nurgur wizard named Luo Jin destroy it... Well, there is no need to do it again, and the disease caused this time is whispering disease, especially black whispering disease, then this army will be over. Not only the army, but perhaps this country (even the entire seven countries) will be greatly damaged. In some past records, the king would rather burn the entire village and town, and he would firmly stop the spread of whispering disease.

"Well, since the Count already believes in my sincerity and kindness, then we have a lot of things that have a basis for negotiation." Marvin said with a smile. "For example, if you find the method of Luo Jin, I think this is a...a...a very important thing, and I want to exchange a very important promise."

The last time Marvin appeared in front of Ashu Rufat, his attitude was not so explicit. If he was wearing a thick coat last time, then he was only wearing a thin veil at this moment. On the one hand, this is because of the change in the position of both parties, and on the other hand, it is because the little girl was careless, which made the other party understand that the practice of "giving the bait first and then collecting the hook" type of fishing big fish with long lines is no longer advisable.

"What kind of commitment?"

"I hope Lord Earl... can fulfill the plan we originally proposed! Of course, I know that some things cannot be done step by step, things can be done step by step, and we can talk about them step by step."

Ashu Rufate shrugged, "Do you need a black and white agreement?"

...

Marvin broke the link to Magic Wind and returned to normal from the absent state of casting magic.

Compared to the last time, the distance is more beneficial. At least Ma Wen no longer needs a large number of subordinates to help, he can complete it himself. The reaction force of magic has also been reduced a lot. Although it is very tiring, it is just tiring.

However, no matter how tired he was, he could not hide the smile on his face.

"Master, congratulations. That Earl of Ashu Rufat accepted your conditions?" A clever subordinate next to him immediately guessed what was going on from Marvin's expression.

Ma Wen smiled without saying a word, just touching his goatee.

"This, next, we should..."

"Don't worry, come step by step. What we want is not the life of the Earl of Ashu Rufat... Haha, what we want is what he can bring to us." He said with a smile. "But our Earl of Ashu Rufat is quite strange..."

"Strange? Sir, but..."

"I used to think he should be a swordsman, and by chance he learned some magic skills... For example, on the way, I met a magician who was willing to teach skills, or got a book about practicing magic. But today I found that... his magic power is actually quite profound, and both knowledge and skills are good. No matter from which angle he evaluates, he is a qualified magician..." Ma Wen pondered. "But he looks younger... It makes people feel a little confused about his origin. By the way, bring that information!"

The spies in Eagle City have long since sent the information about Ashu Rufate - about the origin of Ashu Rufate circulating in Eagle City. These are not originally a big secret. However, because Marvin was too busy before, he did not pay too much attention to these information. After all, these information belong to the "rumor" type, Ashu Rufate did not deny it, but it seemed that he did not publicly admit it. He looked at it briefly before, but only once.

"Well... amnesia..." From the statement in this information (of course, this is probably a lie made up by Ashu Rufate himself), Ashu Rufate's family is in Ryan in the south, and he is a knight's son... As for what the knight's son did when he became an adult, he used a very interesting word " amnesia".

Of course, at least Marvin doesn't believe in "amnesia" or something. This is more like a concealment or a disguise, hiding his origin.

From this perspective, what does Ashu Rufate want to hide? Hiding his bloodline? It is meaningless. Because when he came to Groone, he wanted to marry a pair of squire and noble sisters. The so-called "squire and noble" are actually civilians. Therefore, no matter what origin of Ashu Rufate is, no matter whether his father is a knight or not, as long as he has money, marrying those two sisters is a marriage of equality. No one can object.

If there is no point in hiding the origin, then is the crime to hide? No, of course this is even more impossible. No matter what crime Ashrufate committed in other countries, at least he has no record of any crime in Groney. In addition, it seems that no country has emerged to disclose the Earl's past crimes so far.

It’s not hiding your origin, not hiding your crime... So what to hide? Hiding yourself is a magician?

It should be noted that Marvin is actually quite familiar with the situation of the southern countries. So he is very clear that although the churches of the gods in the Star Realm have been spared no effort to popularize magic education, there are still few qualified magicians who can go to the battlefield. Because of this, magicians are of high importance to the country. Even magicians who do not belong to the church have a high social status. Every lord is eager to have their own magicians.

A magician can at least defeat an ordinary nobleman in terms of status. And their treatment is beyond the reach of ordinary nobles. Not to mention anything else, a magician who is a mercenary can at least support a cavalry team.

Bloodline does not need to be concealed... crimes do not need to be concealed... and that feeling... whether it is manifestations in previous crises, or the keenness and speed of a warrior witnessed by Marvin himself... is definitely not a half-baked level. Why do you still need to strictly train your body and hone your sword skills as a magician?

In particular, before the Byron coup, no one knew that Ashu Rufate actually mastered the skills of magic.

Marvin looked through and found that the entire report contained all the rumors related to Ashu Rufate. His eyes suddenly stopped on one of the records. It said that Ashu Rufate's two fiancees were said to be two witches who used black magic.

This was a rumor without any basis, but it firmly attracted Marvin's gaze and made him smile involuntarily because a bold guess took shape in his mind.

Haha, it's very likely that's the truth.

...

After dawn, Luo Jin walked out of the hut where he was hiding.

The place he is now in is a small village - an ordinary village located at the foot of the mountain. Due to the war, Groney implemented a simple and effective tactic of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields according to the convention. The residents retreated to the rear with livestock, food and goods, and returned after the war was over. They should have done more thoroughly and put their houses in a burning state, but building a house is much more troublesome than moving things. Because of this mentality, Luo Jin could easily find a suitable residence.

It was a light rain last night, which made the surrounding ground muddy and easily left footprints... But this was not important. Because Luo Jin did not intend to act today. The last time it seemed to have caused a pretty good plague, and at least a few hundred people died. The black smoke produced by burning corpses in the city lasted for a long time.

My magic is perfect. Thinking of this, Luo Jin couldn't help feeling proud. There is no need for an army, no strategy, just his own strength, he can destroy this army that the southerners had finally gathered. Haha, Nurg's blessing is with him, he will...

"Master, it seems that an enemy's troops are approaching."

A entourage went around from somewhere and reported to Luo Jin. "It seems to be a scout team."

"Oh, as long as it's not a large army," Luo Jin replied casually. Those southerners are really stupid guys... They have lost at least five scout teams, but they are still persistent in using this meaningless tactic. Having said that, yesterday Chaos Egg had eaten his mount, the last horse. Today may be a good opportunity to change the taste of Chaos Egg?

A row of muskets directly interrupted his thoughts. Then, he heard the Chaos Egg being injured and made a beastly roar.

What's going on? Luo Jin hasn't come back to his senses yet. They've come? However, it shouldn't matter. After being injured, the Chaos Egg will immediately break free from the chains that bound it and pounce on the enemy. And the bullet... This thing is very lethal to humans, but for the Chaos Egg, the threat is much smaller.

"Master, there are enemies coming from the side!" A follower rushed over. Luo Jin hurriedly ran to the hillside beside the village, followed by the cover of shrubs, and saw a team of southern soldiers wearing armor, carrying swords and muskets carefully searching and advancing in this abandoned village.

What's going on? There are twenty soldiers here... there are enemies fighting Chaos Eggs over there... and so on, what these guys do...

If this was an accidental encounter, the enemy would never be so calm in the split operation. The sound of muskets in the distance would directly attract them...a purposeful attack?

Has the enemy discovered the trace? But this is normal. Maybe I accidentally let a lucky single scout meet a dead mouse for the blind cat. Maybe at that time, the lucky scout was located in the upper wind, so the Chaos Egg did not notice the other party's existence...

Luo Jin thought about it. Since the enemy discovered his actions, they must have known that he was carrying a Chaos Egg as a guard. From the gunfire just now, the team of soldiers who were searching for it... plus the discovery from the entourage just now, the enemy should be a unit of about a hundred people.

From a common sense, it is not enough for an army of this size to deal with a Chaos Egg and a Chaos Wizard... Maybe in the last period of time, more enemies will come.
