Section 7 Explanation

"A lot of things happened," Ash Rufat replied softly. "A lot of things that were not considered, many unexpected things... I almost thought I would never come back."

When he said this, all the things that happened after leaving Sivania reappeared in Ashrufate's mind. Although the memory was still very clear, there was some unreal feeling at this moment. It seemed that all this was just a dream and did not exist.

But at least, he is standing here now. This is the reality.

"What happened after I left?" Asu Rufate asked softly. Fei and Leya (and of course Carrie) were the only people who knew he left. And it seemed that this secret has been well kept and has never been exposed. Carrie once suggested that Eric could also participate in the secret, but in the end Asu Rufate still did not do so. "By the way, where is my substitute?"

What Ash Rufate refers to is naturally the Magic Picture. In fact, except for himself, even Fei and Leya do not know his "stand-in", that is, the origin of the Magic Picture. They only know that it is a magic puppet controlled by Carrie and has many incredible abilities. But it is a puppet after all, and it does not have the ability to handle complex affairs. Therefore, the specific matters must be presented by Leya and Fei.

As Carrie introduced to Ashu Rufate, the Magic Picture is a type specially used for combat. Apart from combat, its abilities in other aspects are actually not very strong.

"It's inside." Leya took Ashu Rufate's hand and brought him into the bedroom. This is Ashu Rufate's bedroom (although strictly speaking, he does not need sleep) and also the place where Leya lives. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the Magic Tu sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a book in her hand, as if reading. But if you look closely, you will find that although it was posing for reading, its eyes did not turn at all.

But then again, who would observe the vampire's eyeballs at close range?

"Who?" As they entered the door, Magic Tu suddenly said. "If you have nothing to do, don't disturb me, I'm very busy."

"Not bad, master, this is my preset conversation." Carrie said in his mind. "As long as it senses someone approaches, it will say that. In this way, even if someone suddenly approaches, it will not be exposed."

"Carrie...the activities of the castle staff...can't you grasp?"

"Of course I have no problem. But my clone's ability is insufficient." Carrie replied. "If you compare it simply by computing the calculation ability, my clone has only about one-forty of my thinking and judgment ability. Master, think about it, my clone is responsible for designing your city, mastering the progress of the construction of the entire territory, and designing it carefully. To control various dangerous signs, you also need to supervise the transfer of materials and money. You must analyze and judge the loyalty of your officials, and carry out necessary defense and infiltration against external hostile forces. All kinds of things... You must know that you must carefully analyze, judge, calculate, and predict that your land, people, officials, and enemies must be carefully analyzed, judged, estimated, and expected, so you really have no time to follow the people inside the castle."

It turns out... Is Carrie's power also limited? Ashu Rufate couldn't help but think so.

"But when you are back, let's put the magic map in the storage room for the time being." Carrie said in her mind.

Ashrufate clearly saw the Magic Picture put down the book and stood up, straightening her body stiffly. Then, a metal ball floated in from outside and stuck to its body. So the Magic Picture maintained this unnatural stiff posture, and was carried off the ground by the metal ball, floating out of the room from Ashrufate, and disappeared from the corner and couldn't see it.

Ashu Rufate noticed that there were a lot of books piled up on the table next to the room.

"I have... learned to read, write and calculate." Leya's voice suddenly rang out. "Sir. Carrie said I'm doing a good job." She said with a blushing face.

"At the speed of human learning, she is indeed very talented and willing to work hard," Carrie said in her mind. "When you look at these books on the table, she can now easily read ancient books, and... well, how to say, she has strong ability to process and judge words."

Ashu Rufate noticed that in addition to some books, there was a letter that was almost completed. It was obvious that when he learned about Ashu Rufate's return, Leya was writing this letter. Ashu Rufate picked up the letter. Leya looked nervous, but did not stop Ashu Rufate's actions.

The content of the letter is not complicated. It is an official announcement, or specifically, a prohibition order. The content is roughly prohibiting mining in a mountainous area, because mining can easily lead to collapse here and affect the safety of roads and residents below. Although this is nothing particularly important, the entire announcement is written concisely and clearly, which makes people clear at a glance. Ashu Rufate found that he could not change a word.

He still remembered that before he left, Leya was a student who had just learned to read and write for a while, and it was still difficult to read ordinary books.

"Sir... I... can I write it?" Perhaps it was because Ashu Rufat had held the letter in his hand and looked at it for too long, and Leya finally spoke, with a little uneasiness in his voice.

"No, it's very good." Ashu Rufate put the letter back to his original position. "Better than me." He smiled slightly, but when he fell to the ground, he praised and laughed at him, no one could tell. Having said that, Ashu Rufate also knew that he was not good at these words. The announcements he had issued before were actually done by his subordinates and even Carrie.

"real?"

"Really." Asu Ruffatt replied. Not to mention anything else, he could understand how much effort Leya had put in just this document. Leya also worked very hard when he was taking risks outside.

"This... sir... that Mimilu thing..." Leya said carefully. "Carrie said it is more appropriate to send her away..."

"I already know what Mimilu is." Ash Rufate replied. "It's okay, you did nothing wrong." He replied in a low voice. Eternal life is a blessing on the one hand, and a curse on the other hand. Ash Rufate suddenly remembered what Kay once told him, even if humans and elves are bound to be unable to get happiness. The difference in life span of the two parties determines everything. Happiness is short-lived, while painful memories will accompany each other for a long time.

If he does nothing, he will sooner or later face the pain of separation from Mimilu. If he asks Mimilu to use the sink to prolong his life, it is equivalent to passing his own pain on Mimilu.

"Master, Fei is back." Carrie reminded in her mind. "She is coming here soon. It seems like a coincidence that although she is not in the castle, she is also on the side."

A few seconds later, Ashu Rufat saw Fei rushing in like a wind.

Fei looked no different from when he left. She was still wearing that armor, only the hair that was scattered by the wind on her forehead showed that she had just been in a hurry. When she saw Ash Rufate, Fei paused for a moment, as if she was judging whether he was a real person or a substitute.

"Master!" Fei recognized the identity of "Ashu Rufate" in the room. But she did not rush over like Leya just now and gave a passionate hug. Instead, she stood up with a little restrained attitude. "You are back!"

Ash Rufate laughed in her heart. Although she had been away for several years, neither Fei nor Leya had any change. Fei was still the same, and was used to hiding the waves in her heart under the mask of indifference.

"I..." Fei seemed to want to say something, but she didn't say anything. Ashu Rufate walked towards her and held her hard in her arms before Fei had time to react. Fei did not refuse, and her hand was equally gentle to Ehu Rufate's waist and abdomen.

"You are back..." she repeated softly, with a choking voice.

"I seem to say I will definitely come back," said Ashu Rufate. "You took good care of everything during my absence."

… (Decided to respect readers’ opinions and omit some of the bed/plays. I am an author who keeps pace with the times…)

Ashu Rufat looked at the ceiling with his eyes open.

It must be said that although this is something he often did in the past, this feeling has become unfamiliar. Since he left the castle to save Mimilu, based on the time of this world, he has been away for more than three years. Speaking of which, it seems that it has been a long and short period of time.

"Master, do you think it's not enough?" Carrie suddenly spoke in her mind. Now Ashu Rufat could clearly feel Carrie's changes... If this feeling in the past was just vague, then since accepting the deal with the Rat God, this feeling has become very obvious. "According to me, two wives are indeed missing. It's okay like Fei, but Leya's physical strength is relatively poor. But don't worry, you have a whole harem, more than a thousand. If you need it, I can pick you ten or eight now... Well, if you care about Fei and Leya's feelings, you can change places."

Ash Rufat looked at both sides of his body. Fei and Leya fell asleep because of fatigue, especially Leya, with her golden hair scattered on the pillow. It seemed like she was too crazy to meet again after a long separation tonight...

"Carrie, is it you who told Fei that it was my decision to organize the guard?" Ashu Rufate did not answer Carrie's proposal, but changed the topic.

"There's no way, master." Carrie replied in an innocent voice. "If a lie can reduce the resistance to work and promote the progress of the plan, then this lie is necessary, or even indispensable. Whether it is me or my clone, they all follow this principle. Besides, let's not talk about it for now, Leya really needs a suitable guard."

"Why can't you..." Ashu Rufat said halfway. Since he can now carry out biochemical transformations for everyone as he pleases, why not let Leya get the strength directly?

"Because according to the principle of power and balance, you must keep them in a balanced state. The ideal state is that Leya has good management skills, while Fei has strong combat power. Neither of them can replace each other, so this model can last. Besides, Leya is not suitable for fighting at all, and she does not have the corresponding courage."

"Courage?" Ashu Rufat suddenly remembered his beautiful girl guard. Is it still a basis for Carrie's choice?

"That's right. If combat skills or physical strength can be easily obtained through acquired exercise, then courage is more difficult. From a psychological point of view, this is a natural formation during the growth of a creature, and it is difficult to change it after birth. Not only smart creatures, but also ordinary animals."
