Chapter 18 Accident

"Mimilu, did you climb up the window just now?" Ashu Rufat asked when he saw Mimilu. "You were discovered."

"Huh? Really? Mimilu was very careful just now." Mimilu looked very surprised.

Of course, Ash Rufat knew how outstanding Mimilu's color change talent was in hiding. Her color change talent, natural agility, and the protection of the dark environment, should be difficult to be discovered. Even if the window makes a sound, people would not see Mimilu, at most they would only think that the wind would blow.

But Beller discovered it. From this point of view, the man had an unimaginably keen observation.

"Let's go." Mimilu suggested. If it weren't for this sudden auction and the invitation from Belar, they would have been in the mountains now.

"By the way, that man named Beller has always thought he was a Tiberius, so why did he be appointed by the Kingdom of Ryan? Appoint a foreigner as the governor of one side?" But in fact, this question is easy to figure out.

"By the way, he is a general, and he was the commander-in-chief of conquering Kalean... and Sivania has a vampire threat. In other words, he was sent by two countries to deal with the vampires in Sivania."

Of course, Ashu Rufate did not understand the embarrassing situation of Belar having no soldiers and no power at this moment.

"If this is the case, that vampire will be in danger." He told himself in a low voice. The mysterious vampire was not strong at hand, otherwise it would not have been a big fuss for so long, and there would still be no town occupied. Of course, this is also a normal thing. Kalean has thousands of vampires, so he can naturally organize a huge undead legion, while Sivania has only one. No matter how many attainments this vampire has in black magic, it is difficult to organize a huge undead legion alone.

"Master," Carrie said in his mind. "Do you have plans for the next step?"

"Well, go see that vampire." Ashu Rufate replied in his mind. "If you can become an ally, tell him this situation. If you can only become an enemy, then leave."

"Good decision." Carrie replied. "Well, please be rational in this matter and not emotionally. You must know that if you become an enemy, then he may be your most dangerous enemy in the world."

"Aren't there any gods in the Star Realm?" Ashu Rufate asked coldly.

"Although you may be unsatisfied, at your current level, you are not qualified to be their enemy." Carrie said. "But you don't have to worry, they know this, so they won't waste time in trouble."

At this time, they had arrived at the gate of the city. As mentioned earlier, there were no regulations on tolls in this city. There were only a few soldiers there to maintain order during the day, and at this moment there was no need to maintain order. The door was empty and allowed to leave.

After walking out of the city gate, Ashu Rufate looked back at the city. For some reason, he knew that he no longer belonged to this place, but he still felt a sense of disappointment when he left.

"Master, what are you looking at?" Mimilu asked in confusion. Ashu Rufat was looking back at the city, not moving for a long time.

"No, Mimilu, I didn't see anything, I was just a little confused." Ashu Rufate lowered his head, looked at his hands, and repeatedly clenched and loosened.

"Is there any question in the master's mind that cannot be answered?"

"It's not just that I can't answer it," said Ashu Rufate. "I don't even know whether I should seek the truth of this question. I don't know my future... what my future will do."

"Hey, didn't the master tell Mimilu last time that he wanted to go to Sivania to find that vampire?"

"I don't know what else to do after seeing that vampire."

Mimilu shook her ears in confusion. "Master, the Great Elder had told Mimilu before that it would be enough to know what to do tomorrow. Because there is a new tomorrow every day."

"Ah...haha...is right. Maybe I'm overthinking." Ashu Rufate reached out and touched something hard, and then he realized that he was touching the harp, Thomas's harp. He took the harp into his hand, and Thomas looked like playing alone in the military camp.

It was only then that indescribable loneliness appeared on Thomas' face.

"Master, do you want to learn the piano?" Carrie suddenly asked in her mind. "I can provide relevant teachings in this regard. If you don't want to learn, I can also play for you... Of course, you need to authorize me to use the hand."

"Play a song." Ashu Rufate replied in a daze. Although it has been several years apart, every time I think of Thomas, I still feel inexplicably heartache.

Carrie controlled Ashu Rufate's hand, and his fingers passed through the strings, playing a beautiful and sad tune. This was the tune that Ashu Rufate was familiar to it, and it was Thomas' song.

"Time passes forever, and the cycle of day and night is long... It is important to know that the dead are like this, with a head of black hair turning into white hair..."

The Nightmare Horse began to trot forward, and accompanied by the melodious sound of the piano in the night wind, heading towards the distance.

...

The mountainous areas at the turn of spring and summer have particularly lush grass and trees.

Although the official summer day has not yet arrived, the sun is already quite dazzling at this moment. The sun shining on his body, making Ashu Rufate feel a feeling that is not hot. In fact, when he was in the Iron Claw Mountains, he felt this feeling, as if his skin was allergic to sunlight. However, when it was transformed into green skin, the armor covered his whole body, leaving him without such trouble.

The speed of climbing through the mountainous areas was much slower than expected. In order to find a road for Nightmare Horses to pass in this complex mountainous area, Ash Rufate had to turn many times. He even took the wrong path several times and had to turn back. Half of this is due to the map in his hand. This map is expensive, but in fact it is a trick of a fool.

"Master, you can let the horse pass by when you walk to the left." Mimilu appeared on the mountain in the distance and greeted Ash Rufat loudly. After discovering that the map was unreliable, he could only rely on Mimilu to guide the direction. It must be noted that Mimilu is actually very suitable for mountain activities, and it is like a fish in water here.

After all, the half-beast clan originally lived in the mountains.

Following Mimilu's guidance, Ashrufat bypassed the mountain blocking the road from the left. Sure enough, this place is a relatively gentle valley bottom, suitable for horses to walk. In fact, this valley is a natural good road, even if the carriage comes, it can pass.

He walked forward for a short distance, and Mimilu suddenly jumped out of a bush ahead and ran towards Ashu Rufat on all sides.

"Master, Master!" Mimilu looked panicked, and obviously noticed something amazing. "There is a bloody smell over there." He pointed with his hand. "It smells very strong bloody smell!"

The smell of blood? Ashu Rufat knew that what Mimilu was talking about was definitely not something like carnivore hunting. This expression of Mimilu showed that a large-scale massacre occurred there.

Are robbers? But when buying the map, the shop owner also emphasized that there were no robbers in the mountains. After all, there was no right road there. If the business road was not closed, no one would have passed there. If the robbers set up some points in this area, they would have to wait to drink the northwest wind.

"Master, do you want to go and have a look?" Mimilu said.

"Yeah, go and have a look." Ashu Rufat jumped off his horse and walked over under Mimilu's guidance.

Mimilu was not wrong. He walked forward for a while and smelled the strong smell of blood. Judging from Ash Rufate's experience on the battlefield, at least a few hundred people would have to die to have such a great smell of blood. And beasts in the mountains, whether tigers or wolves, could not create such a killing.

However, except for the smell of blood, everything is quiet. This smell of blood is not only strong, but also fresh, and it can be judged that the killing did not take long.

"Mimilu." said Ash Rufat. "You follow me from behind." He drew out his sword himself and then continued to move forward.

The woods began to become sparse, the soil under his feet became wet, and the wind was mixed with a rotten smell. This shows that there was already a swamp in front of him, and the smell of blood became stronger and stronger. Ash Rufate carefully lurked forward and came to the edge of the woods. Then he understood why there was such a strong smell of blood in such a mountainous area where birds did not shit.

A very large dragon was lying in the swamp in front of him. Five or six huge spears pierced the dragon's body, and several of them were fatal. This swamp was not big, it was the kind of small swamp commonly found in the mountains. At this time, the dragon's blood dyed the entire swamp dark red.

Ashu Rufate immediately remembered the words of the merchant who sold the map before. This should be the dragon. Ashu Rufate realized that under the guidance of the wrong map, he turned around and turned and finally returned to the mountain road occupied by the dragon.

However, this dragon is no longer a threat from anyone. If it still has the breath of life on it, there will be only a little left. The dragon is completely unable to move, and falls into the swamp in a distorted and weird posture, half of its body is trapped in the mud. There is no doubt that the thing that killed the dragon is the spears on his body - after a closer look, it is found that those things are actually not spears, but arrows from the crossbows.

It seems that someone killed the dragon? From the broken trees around, from the burning traces of the flames, it can be seen that a fierce battle had occurred before the dragon died.

"Over there!" Mimilu jumped to Ash Rufat and pointed to the side.

It was a piece of dry land at the edge of the swamp, with a charred black on it, obviously burning by the dragon's flames. However, among the pile of charred things, there seemed to be some debris of something.

When Ash Rufate approached, he found that the thing should be a crossbow. The reason why it was added was that the shape of this crossbow was very unique and completely beyond his cognition. From the perspective of shape, this crossbow has a multi-layer design and can shoot multiple arrows at one time.

"Master!" Mimilu shouted not far away. Ashrufat looked in the direction of Mimilu and happened to see Mimilu standing beside a bush, and in the bush, someone stretched out a hand. The hand was spread weakly on the mud, and his five fingers were relaxed.

However, that hand does not belong to the human race. Because the hand is shorter and thicker than humans, both arms and fingers are the same.
