Section 31 unknown

The two deacons of the temple welcomed Ashrufat in. As Rhotiya mentioned before, this was just a routine ceremony. Not to mention anything else, this was the case with the two church staff. They led the way in front, chatting with each other while walking, without the solemn feeling at all.

But Ashu Rufate vaguely smelled a little ominous from Scadra's unnatural nervousness. Why did the ordinary religious rituals and routines that were held every year make the old man react that way?

The two leaders stopped.

"Your Excellency," said a deacon (he is also a young man), very politely to Ashurufat. "There is a place for you to bathe and cleanse. You can just go in alone. You don't have to return after purging yourself. Just move forward. There is another exit and locker room there, and your clothes, Lord Scadra has placed there."

As he expected, Ashrufat walked into the room. As he expected, it was a pool of quite a size, which was probably enough for all the clergy in the temple to squeeze in and take a bath. Of course, there was no one inside at this moment, only the warm water emitted a burst of mist.

From the structural point of view, there is no way to heat the water and then inject it into the water, but it must be heated off the shelf. From this point of view, there should be a boiler under the pool, which can be burned at any time and heated the water in the pool.

Ashu Rufate inexplicably remembered the structure of the entire room, but immediately he threw away these distracting thoughts.

There was an empty locker room in front of the pool, so he took off his clothes and placed them on a stool. In fact, this dress has been worn for quite a while, and it would be almost done if he had to change it...

He stepped into the bath. Scadra carefully emphasized that Ashu Rufate needed to rinse his body with water, and not waste time scrubbing. But to be honest, although he did not take a shower after coming to Eagle City, his body almost didn't sweat (or he couldn't even feel it), so there was no odor on his body. According to a man's deep-rooted subconscious, since his body was not very dirty, he naturally did not need to be carefully scrubbed.

Ashu Rufate just washed a symbolic wash in the pool. At this time, he heard the sound behind him, and then a figure appeared at the entrance of the bath.

"Essin?" Ashu Rufat asked.

"Ah, it's Asu Ruffatt." Essin's voice was relaxed and joking. "You've come. It's been quite early. I'll take off my clothes first. Go and see Scadra's father as soon as possible. He's probably anxious."

His voice seemed to imply something, but Ashu Rufate could not understand for a moment. However, what Essin said was correct, because before coming in, Scadra's nervous expression... Although Ashu Rufate didn't understand what Scadra was worried about, if he went out earlier, it might be able to relieve the psychological pressure of the old man. I dare not say anything, Scadra is also an elder of the Griffin family, and can even call himself "uncle" of Ashu Rufate.

Of course, Ash Rufate, who had already understood the overall structure of the entire Eagle Falcon City, no longer had the same great expectations for his position. He thought that this was a hot potato that could only be gained by relationships, but he did not expect it to be a hot potato with unpredictable misfortunes. Well, what Essin said a few days ago was probably not a threat of verbal words. The exes who died of Ash Rufate were the best proof.

A few minutes later, he arrived at the exit. As the two temple deacons said before, there was also a corresponding locker room here. Towels and other things were complete, and the personal belongings handed over to Scardra between Ashu Rufate were also here. In addition, the package that Essin had been tied aside. Of course, half of the package was untied, and the sword and shield had been taken away.

Ashrufate quickly put on the whole uniform. This suit was probably sewn simultaneously when he made armor, because it was suitable for both shoulder width and arm length, and was completely made of solid body. In general, it was very comfortable to wear, and there was no such tightness and discomfort as the common new clothes - the tailoring skills of Eagle City, but it was much more sophisticated than in small places like Brassian.

Ashrufate hung up his cloak, then opened the door and walked out. There was no one at the exit, but there was a sign indicating that the person who came out could turn right towards the corridor and lead directly to the exit of the temple.

Before Eshu Rufate was halfway through, he heard footsteps behind him. It seemed that Essim was moving very fast, and he didn't waste much time.

Scardra was waiting for him outside. When Ashu Rufate appeared, the old man in black showed a look of relief.

"Your shield and sword..." Scardra handed over what she had in hand to Ashu Rufate, but while wearing the sword, his body suddenly froze.

"Ashu Rufate...your cloak..."

"Cloak?" Ashu Rufate quickly took off his cloak. Now he saw that the back of the cloak was stained with a huge dark yellow stain. This seemed to be an oily dirt, and it might even be a dye. In any case, it was really eye-catching to stain such a large piece on the white cloak.

Ashu Rufate never noticed it. Of course, this is not a mistake. Who would have thought of making pranks on this thing?

Indeed, this is not a trap, not a threat, but just a prank. This is because the dark yellow stain on the white cloak is so conspicuous that it will be discovered by someone as long as you wear the cloak well. But to be honest, it doesn't take too much effort to change a cloak.

"Damn!" Scardra said softly. There was a little anger in his voice, but he didn't seem panic. "This cloak is useless... I have to change it immediately." He thought. It was still early and he still had plenty of time to deal with this little trouble. So he carefully checked Eshu Rufat to make sure there were no other accidents.

"Ah, what's wrong with this cloak?" Just as Scadra was checking, an exaggerated voice came from behind Eshu Rufat. You don't need to ask that Essin is here. There is no need for other evidence. Just his deliberately pretended exaggerated tone, you can know who did this prank.

Scadra ignored him and continued to check. But it seemed that this was just a prank. Because it was just a stain on the cloak. There was still plenty of time now, and it was not a big problem.

"Oh, Daddy Scadra, this thing is no longer useful, so I'd better ask someone to go to the palace and get another one." Essin suggested.

This is obvious that the cat cried rat fake mercy, so Scadra ignored him for a long time.

But on the other hand, Ashu Rufate was full of suspicion. In fact, he didn't understand what Essin wanted to do. The matter was obvious: if Essin really wanted to destroy this religious ceremony, he should think of a more clever and simpler way - after all, he was one of the participants, and it wouldn't be too difficult to destroy some damage at the ceremony site. If he wanted to make Ashu Rufate look ugly, then this method would be too easy to discover. In fact, this level of prank can do nothing except further strengthening other people's disgust. Besides, Scardra was at least nominally his immediate boss. Using this stupid prank to offend the immediate boss was directly intensified. Although Essin had another backer behind him, he was not very wise, at least he was alert to the scene.

Although he did not understand Essin's true intention, he clearly smelled the scent of conspiracy with an intuition.

"It's this cloak." Scardra had already completed the inspection at this time. "Ashurufat, I will immediately ask someone to go to the palace to get another one."

"No need." Ash Rufate said. He untied his small bag and took out a piece of white fabric from it. Just as Essin's surprised gaze, he shook the fabric and turned into a white cloak.

This is the cloak made by the elves, which was an item that Ash Rufate carried with him before losing his memory. This cloak is not only beautiful and detailed, but also has powerful magic on it. On the one hand, it makes it spotless and does not need to be washed. On the other hand, it is enough to withstand the shooting of bullets or crossbows. It is not so much a magical item, but a treasure - because the magician cannot sense the energy of the magic wind on this cloak. However, this may be because of its special manufacturing process - as we all know, the elves have superior to humans in magic, especially in object manufacturing.

Compared with the original contaminated cloak, although the material, thickness, etc. are different, the cloak is a cloak. Can anyone carefully study the differences between the two cloaks? As long as both are of the same color.

Although Essin kept smiling, his expression changed slightly. Ashu Rufate clearly saw that although he tried his best to hide it, there was still a hint of surprise and frustration between his expression.

"You actually carry a cloak with you?" Essin asked in an incredible tone a few seconds later.

"Ah, this is an elf product." Ash Rufate replied. "High-end goods, very valuable."

"Ah, is that..." Essin replied.

Next was waiting speechlessly. As mentioned earlier, Ashurufate came at dawn, so although everything was ready at this time, it was still early to officially start. They could only wait patiently at the entrance of the temple. Eshin was also uninterested, so he walked to the other side, leaving only Ashurufate and Scadra. Of course, there were also several servants from the palace and deacons of the church next to it.

"Why did he do this?" Ashu Rufat took a break and secretly asked the court chief next to him. "If he wants to make trouble, wouldn't it be better to wear that cloak by himself?"

"He was recommended by Duke Byron," Scadra replied. "The Queen's personal bodyguard must be proven absolutely reliable, so she needs a guarantor. His guarantor is Duke Byron. So if he gets into trouble... Duke Byron must be responsible as a guarantor... He won't do that kind of stupid thing."

"Then my guarantor..." Ashu Rufat's mind turned, and he immediately understood why Essin would not make trouble by himself, rather than seeking opportunities in himself.

"I am your guarantor." Scadra replied very simply. "If you do something bad... you have to be responsible, I will be held accountable."

"But... this is just a prank..." Although this is a mess, it is obviously not a threat, it is just a disgusting person. Why did Essin suddenly want to do such a thing? What are the benefits?
