Chapter 6: The Closest Woman to the Gods

A year ago, Augustus quietly left the city in order to escape military service.

Originally, Augustus was going to leave the city far away to go on some thrilling journeys in knightly novels and do some troubadours around the world like a bard!

After traveling around the Valoran continent and then returning to Dao Chun City, there will be few people except Aunt Carros who will worry about a lowly little person? Augustus believed that he would never be taken seriously as a small man.

Augustus was a very sensible and decisive man. However, Augustus, who acted decisively, finally stopped and stopped on the Alder Mountain.

Augustus, who had been on the Alder Mountain for half a month, waited for the recruit meeting to be completely over before returning to the Alder City. After that, Augustus would go to the alder mountain to hunt almost every two or three days, and this habit has continued to this day, which is the main reason why Augustus can be believed to say to his neighbors that he was planning to practice hard because he saw the spectacular scene of the recruit tournament and strive to win the first place in the recruit tournament when he joined the army next year.

But in fact? Although Augustus's desire for strength is as enthusiastic as his desire for money and beautiful women, the reason why he goes to Alder Mountain almost every day is not because of hard cultivation, but because of a reason that Augustus can't believe it, the reason why he goes to Alder Mountain every day to hunt is because of a woman.

Augustus never believed in the so-called love at first sight, let alone that this kind of thing would happen to him, but when he saw the cold woman who was peerless, beautiful and moving, and could simply arouse the fire in his heart, Augustus was very sad that the thing that only appeared in romance novels at first sight appeared on him, a lowly commoner.

At that time, when he saw a woman in a wide black robe, with an awe-inspiring and inviolable body, as if she was standing on the top of the world, Augustus did not show much respect or worship in his heart.

Augustus' mind was in a state of confusion at the time, but after a brief period of sluggishness. A phrase once came to his mind from a book published by the Ionian Empire, The Crown Family: a man's success must be accompanied by looking up to the back of another strong man, but a man's greatness must first conquer a great woman.

Looking at the woman in front of him who was as inviolable as the empress of the world, the first thought that came to the heart of Augustus, who was born lowly, was not the unblasphemous emotion that even many great nobles should reveal in the face of this woman, but a kind of conquest with a strong male **.

Conquest, conquest of this great woman? If they knew the identity of this young woman who had lived on the Cherry Mountain for nearly a year, the upper-class magnates would definitely be dumbfounded and sweaty if they knew about Augustus's thoughts, and it was not impossible to even lose the graceful demeanor that ordinary nobles should have.

This woman, who lives on the Alder Mountain, and although Augustus often meets, her name is not even clear, can be said to be a taboo on the continent of Valoran. In the Holy See, there is a book "Dark Apocalypse" that only cardinals and above have permission to read, and some of the deeds of this woman are recorded, which reads: "The more the law of the jungle is the king of beasts. The more I like the feeling of being away from the herd and looking down on the common people, the same is true for humans, because the superior will not walk with the lowly, and this person is the king of kings, we can only vaguely know that he appeared in the Yama Snow Mountain Temple 119 years ago, and appeared on the Golden Island 78 years ago. The most recent clue is that 49 years ago, she appeared in the Imperial Central Church of the Far North. ”

The Dark Apocalypse, also known as the Holy See's Top Secret Codex, undoubtedly symbolizes the most cutting-edge existence of the Valoran continent. In just a few words, there are a few names mentioned: the Yama Snow Mountain Temple, the Golden Road, and the Imperial Central Church of the Far North, except for the last place where the name is worshiped by the Holy See's Holy Land, the other two are definitely not inferior to the names of the Imperial Central Church, but even the cardinal archbishops standing at the top of the world do not know where they are.

From this, you can imagine how powerful this mature and cold woman who looks no more than twenty years old is and looks down on the world. Augustus, who had just finished eating a large pork leg in the big iron pot that Aunt Carlos had been holding in his hand from time to time, immediately headed for the Cherry Mountain. Perhaps the brisk walk was too slow, so Augustus simply trotted all the way.

At the party in Piazza Stirolan, Augustus has become a celebrity in the city of Alders. Usually no matter how stunning the surface is, Augustus trotted towards the Cherry Mountain, and there was no shortage of people greeting Augustus along the way. Although most of them are fifteen or sixteen-year-old young people with a defiant look in their eyes.

Augustus, who had expected this situation for a long time, naturally didn't care, and at first he smiled, and he didn't even bother to reply when he saw that there were too many people. In the eyes of many greeting recruits, he left very coldly. At this time, if it weren't for the conscription period that the empire attaches the most importance to, I'm afraid that many people would have pounced on it and taught this Augustus guy a lesson.

Bitterness? Augustus, who is very aware that he has become a double-digit and one of the top adult toys in Alder City, doesn't care about this. Whether it is the lord of Urgart or the seemingly unpretentious and amiable Bishop Raphael, all the words and deeds of the two bigwigs directly or indirectly indicate that Augustus has only one path, that is, to become an Imperial recruit and become the first recruit in this year's Alder City to successfully enter the First Knight Academy of the Empire, and only in this way can he escape the fate of continuing to be a puppet or a pile of corpses.

Augustus, who was not stupid himself, understood this simple truth, and he did not care to offend this group of young recruits, most of whom were just civilians with himself. Thinking of this, the corners of Augustus' mouth turned up slightly, and he licked his lips with his tongue, looking very evil, and muttered in his heart: I don't mind clearing some space on this crowded road when necessary, leaving a few corpses, commoners, nobles? Only God knows.

It took five or six minutes faster than usual, Augustus trotted to the foot of the Alder Mountain, at this time Augustus's mind was not thinking about the terrible military service that happened today, but about how to find comfort from the mouth of the woman who was as cold as an ice cube, although the rational Augustus The woman he didn't even know the name of 99.99% turned a blind eye to his verbal crying, but Augustus, who had never thought of the goddess of luck, still hoped that the goddess of luck would favor him once, At least listen to the cold voice that is enough to make any man lose his original **.

Along the way, Augustus racked his brains, thinking hard about some lines he had heard in his past and present lives, and he really tried his best to refine the death! When he approached the very famous Ulravi Hot Springs on the top of the mountain, Augustus was already confident in thinking about the lines he was about to speak, looking at the small stone house that was getting closer and closer, and the heart that rarely jumped quickly jumped without being able to accept the thump of intellect and emotional control.

Pulling back the curtain of green palm leaves, Augustus wondered if he could take advantage of the woman's natural compassion to take advantage of the cold and noble woman, although the woman with the same wand in her hand as the magician in many knightly novels did not look like a soft-hearted and compassionate woman.

Augustus rarely entered the small stone house, the woman's domain, so he was still a little panicked when he opened the curtain, fearing that the woman who was supposed to be a noble magician would throw a huge fireball and burn him to ashes the moment he opened the curtain.

But this terrible thing still didn't happen. Augustus stood in a small stone house that was outrageously shabby. The small stone house was empty and very clean, and the woman who was either meditating in the small stone house or looking down on the scenery from the top of the mountain was gone.

No, it shouldn't be said that it is gone, it should be said that it is gone.

I don't know if it's because of the woman's compassion or if it's because of something else. The woman, who hadn't even spoken a few words to Augustus, made an exception on the gray stone wall and left her elegant handwriting.

Although he was born as a commoner, Augustus, who had studied the canon of the Holy See since he was a child under the iron whip education of his father Saudi, also recognized it as the language used exclusively by the empire in the old aristocratic era fifty years ago.

Each text is composed of extraordinary and cumbersome diagrams, and the only advantage is that it is very elegant and attractive, so it is very popular with the aristocracy. If it weren't for the rise of military power and the changes of the times fifty years ago, I am afraid that this font would have been around for a long time.

The elegant handwriting of this painting is written all over the walls, except for the two words goodbye in the top line, the following three lines of ancient style text are actually a concise sentence: There are four kinds of people in the world, who are overwhelmed by the rules, obey the rules and go with the flow, break the rules, and make rules.

At first, the stunned and lost Augustus saw that he finally understood the words transformed from the once glorious Shurima Empire, Augustus stared at the wall with an indifferent look that almost coldly looked at the sidelines, and after a while, Augustus resolutely turned around and left the small stone house that he had so much hoped to enter, looking calm and serene.

Leaving the stone house, Augustus slowly walked to the cliff where the woman often stood, looking at the castle below, which seemed to be able to hold the behemoth in his hand as soon as he stretched out his hand, and at this moment, Augustus said a sentence without any emotional fluctuations to be dragged into the Inquisition, and received the same treatment as the greatest heretic and the greatest traitor of the Holy Empire.

"Who is like the sun above the heads of men? Only I, Augustus, am immortal! Augustus opened his arms and looked down at the city, his eyes revealing an ambition that would shock and fear anyone, even if he held the power of the empire, and could be called the first person in the secular realm of Valoran to stand on the altar to worship the world.

Where is this blasphemy, it is clearly to want to be on an equal footing with the gods.

Any creature wishing for immortality will be hunted down by the Holy See, such as dark magicians, werewolves, and vampires, once powerful dark kings who have now disappeared from the continent. (To be continued.) )
