Chapter 32 Trap

Ashu Rufate slowly understood. He also attended the meeting before (or specifically, listened to it), so he knew the situation at that time very well. In this era, although messengers and letters were still the mainstream of communication, magic communication was the only choice between two far apart places. This is especially true for the country. The country actually does not care about the cost of information communication, but only the speed and accuracy of information.

As the chief supervisor of the palace, Scadra actually controls the channels of this news. In other words, the news from foreign countries does not come to the hands of the king (of course now the regent), but must first pass through Scadra's hands. Conversely, if there is any emergency in the country that needs to use magic communication to inform the nations, they must also pass through Scadra's level.

In fact, it is not just the news brought by magical communications. Most other letters sent to the palace are also the same.

Asu Ruffatt conjecture that Duke Byron did not realize the importance of this position, but the recent imperial meeting truly strengthened his determination to take the position of the palace chief in his hands. However, this kind of thing would not be too easy, otherwise Scadra would have been replaced long ago. Therefore, Duke Byron needs a good excuse that no one can find fault.

If there is anything big mistake in Ashu Rufate, Scadra will have to be responsible because of the joint relationship between the guarantor. This is a very good excuse.

Ashu Rufate began to ponder. What exactly does it seem abnormal?

The opponent's purpose is very clear, not targeting Ashurufate, but targeting Scadra. If you use combat as an example, this is a raid battle. What is required is careful preparation, and then a hidden, fast, and unexpected attack. In this kind of raid battle, the most taboo thing is to let the opponent know your actions. Only those who are stupid to a certain level will come up with the method of "sending a limited number of soldiers to attack first and try the other party's reaction."

Byron should not be a stupid person, but he is just doing something stupid now.

A flash of inspiration in Ash Rufat's mind made him recall a military book he saw a long, long time ago. He must have spent a lot of energy and time reading the military book, so now he can even remember the specific content.

If a harassment occurs before a clearly targeted raid, and the opponent is not an idiot, there is only one possibility. The harassment of the enemy is to cover their real action.

The best reason for Scadra to be dismissed was that this religious ceremony made a mistake, but a big mistake. The entire ceremony involved three people, the little girl, Ashu Rufate, and Essin. It was impossible for him to be, because his guarantor was the Duke of Byron himself, and his mistake was Byron. And Ashu Rufate had no other loopholes, and if they planned to achieve this goal through Ashu Rufate, they would not use this clumsy way to remind him first...

The answer is already very clear.

"Sir Scadra," Asu Ruffatt asked. "Is our queen still inside?"

"It's still in the meditation room, and it will take some time for her to come out to bathe and cleanse." Scadra didn't understand what was going on for a moment. "Ask what this is for."

"Oh, nothing. Since there is so much time now, I'll make a little move in the temple."

...

Ashu Rufate soon walked back into the depths of the temple. Perhaps to take care of the newcomers, signs were hung at the critical intersections, so although he was not familiar with the internal structure here, there was no obstacle along the way. However, it seemed difficult to find the target directly.

Several people wearing accomplices robes came over in front of them, and they looked like deacons or servants here.

"Disturbate, how many." Ashu Rufate blocked those people. "Is the place where the Queen bathes and cleanses is a large bathroom?"

"Ah." The leader of the deacon looked up and down at Ash Rufate. "Of course not," he replied. "Your Majesty has a small bathroom. It's right around the corner." He pointed. "There's the other side that's the entrance to the locker room."

"Ah, is there anyone guarding over there?"

"Guardian?" the deacon asked. "Why do you need to guardian? You'll turn around and reach the main entrance."

"I mean... aren't there any security guards here?"

"Ah...haha, Mr. Guardian, you are new here." The deacon laughed. "The external guards here are very strict. Except for the main entrance, no one is allowed to come in. The reason why you can enter and exit freely is entirely because of your special identity," he spread his hands. "The queen hasn't come yet. Do you need any guards here?"

"Ah...you mean, beside the queen, there are guards?"

"To be specific, two high-level female priests from the church. With two magicians accompanying you, you don't have to worry too much about the safety of your monarch."

After saying these words, the deacon continued to leave with his companions.

Sure enough, is the security here not tight? Ashu Rufat watched the people leave and said to himself in his heart.

Following the other party's guidance, Asu Rufate quickly found the locker room. As the respectable deacon pointed out, there was no guard here at this time, and there was even a lit candlestick in the room for lighting. Asu Rufate easily went in. After a brief observation, he recognized that the structure of the small bathroom was similar to that of the large bathroom, and the entrance and exit were not the same place. He was now at the exit, where the clothes that the little girl had prepared to change were already placed here.

I really didn't expect that this set of changed clothes would actually be a pair of armor. Or to put it more specifically, the upper body is armor and the lower body is a skirt.

Of course, this is not metal armor, but soft leather, which is simply a thicker travel suit. However, this set of ritual armor has been carefully processed (even camouflaged) and is dyed with a layer of silver dye. This makes it look very similar to metal armor. Even if a little girl is wearing it, it will look a bit heroic.

Ash Rufate picked up the little girl's helmet and observed it for a moment. The helmet was outsourced with metal lining of silk, but unfortunately the iron sheet was thinner than paper. But this was normal. It was just a ceremony, and this kind of equipment was more logical. However, the helmet really didn't have much to play, so he quickly put the helmet down.

“Ahhhhhh…”

The miserable girl's screams sounded instantly. The next moment, a figure snatched from behind and blocked the little girl. He was also a woman, and she was not wearing any clothes on her body. Of course, at this moment, Ash Rufate had no time to carefully observe the beauty of human body art. His first thought was to go out quickly, but unfortunately the other party didn't give him this time.
