Volume 1 The Dark Gold Puppet of the Empire Chapter 25 The Great Goddess Dominates

The mysterious witch professor who once accompanied Augustine through his childhood gives him a strange worldview, in a complex world of dragons, abysses, knights of faith, and powerful mages, everything can be deconstructed and analyzed by numbers.

That's why Augustine got into the habit of seeing details as the loveliest of the devils. There is only one down-and-out guy named Fili on the Knight team who has a good score in his notes, and the approximate stats are 20 physical fitness, 15 agility, 65 intelligence, 35 explosive power, 50 spell potential, 70 faith scale, and 85 faith quality.

This was outstanding compared to the rest of the low-cost knights who only hovered around 15 on average, so Augustine appointed him deputy head of the Young Knights, overseeing all the day-to-day affairs, including setting up tents on the outskirts of Castle Sinegos, and working hard for the next top-secret mission, the construction of the Forbidden Magic Circle "God's Left Eye".

The new head of the Order was of course Hera, but according to Augustine's instructions, she had to teach fifteen young girls who probably didn't even know the imperial alphabet to record and draw, and she had to achieve the level of hymn-level line precision, which was an almost impossible task, but Augustine didn't leave any room for the knights who were also practicing arcane, and Hera didn't have the luxury of trying to get a little respite.

The Knights led by Filip were not allowed to approach the castle of Sinago and the Black Swan Lake behind the castle at all, Augustine took Hera and fifteen girls to the gate of the castle of Sinago, and Elizabeth commanded the horses to drag two carriages to follow behind, she now does not even forget to read "Flowers and Blood 2" when she walks, her greatest ambition now is to arrest this author and write to her ten thousand times a day "Queen Elizabeth is the most beautiful woman in the world." ”

The dilapidated carriage was loaded with daily necessities for the Sheep's Horn Organization, and the collectibles in the beloved carriage of the Count of Marseille had been moved down by Augustine, and not surprisingly, the girl with the heaviest things was the pretty Agatha, who, after two days of running-in, was now the leader of the girls, and the girl with smooth blond hair was able to show a touching smile as naturally as possible even when she occasionally faced Augustine.

Juliet, who was the least indifferent to anything, was always at the bottom of the line with the cowardly Jane, the former only carried a sapphire enamel vase from the Mauryan Dynasty, and the latter was emaciated, holding the carpet that no one wanted to touch, and she never even dared to look at anyone.

Even Augustine didn't know why Hera was able to choose this ordinary child who was only worth 2 silver coins in Lolita's slave pile by instinct, and at that time the identity tag she hung around her neck was just a word, Jane, this is all she had in life, there was no glory, nothing even worth griefing, and where she was born was ignored, but Augustine still chose to believe in the vision of a female grand arcanist, and her luck that claimed to have been above the horizon.

"This is the abode that you may not be able to get rid of for the rest of your life, and you must be attached to me, but I can guarantee that you will not starve, that you will not be whipped for no reason, even if he is the richest and most powerful noble lord in the province of Marceau, and therefore I have a reasonable request that you choose to give me unreservedly your body, soul, faith, and everything from the first step you enter the castle gates. ”

Before Augustine walked into the castle of Stang, he made a statement of aristocratic language that he thought was more powerful, and he did not expect that the children who were too complicated would understand it. Then the guy, who had more than a dozen loli at once, pointed to the dilapidated carriage and said with a smile: "There is a bag under the cart containing a heretic who is dying, who will help me carry it into the castle, it may be a little heavy, and it may even be stained with blood." ”

Only two girls walked out of the team at the first time, and they were still the candidates in Augustine's prediction.

The beautiful Agatha from the White Rose art family, and Juliet, a noble girl who was abducted and sold from the Plantagenet dynasty by slave traders.

The price was 12 gold coins, a price that Agatha could sell for at the moment, thanks to her ability to play the piano and write prose.

The other is 11 Caesar gold coins, her beauty and figure are not significant at all to rise so "expensive", naturally relying on her illustrious status that many buyers do not want to believe, after all, even in the Plantagenet Dynasty, where there are many nobles like dogs, a marquis's daughter is not easy to be deceived.

They gently lowered their belongings, then almost simultaneously got under the carriage and untied the ropes, and the two men carried out the "corpse" of the Grand Knight Descartes, covered in blood, and looked at Augustine with determined eyes, waiting for the orders of the new master. Augustine didn't say anything, just picked up the expensive enamel vase, while Hera helped Agatha with the items, and the group walked into the deserted-looking castle of Stangdo.

When Augustine inserted the crystal into the hidden mechanism, the floor of the hall went through a series of dazzling movements, and finally presented a staircase that seemed to extend infinitely downward, Hera and the girls were shocked, Augustine sighed softly, after knowing this secret, once someone tried to betray, he would not hesitate to strangle her at all, he would not tell them directly, only the dead could leave this castle, this kind of intimidation, there was no practical meaning. There are always too many temptations in the world to choose to gamble at the risk of their lives.

Especially in this time of faith collapse when God is gradually being cast out by the devil.

"I'm such a pessimist. Augustine walked at the front of the line and laughed softly.

Hera and fifteen maidens were taken by him to the B2 area on the first basement floor, and the most spacious eastern area A5 has been allocated to the "heroes" who escorted the sheep's horns to the Black Swan Lake God knows what will happen to these budding children if they get lost and break into the circle of knightly swordsmen who live a strict ascetic life, and Ares can't always stay on the edge of the forbidden area drawn by Augustine, waiting for the next uninteresting prey, which will distract him and hinder his growth rate that even Augustine feels staggering.

Ares is in perfect condition for 18 hours a day to train his body, and the rest of the time is spent replenishing food and sleep, without thinking about it for a single drop.

He was the first warrior without faith that Augustine had ever met, and he was such a cripple who couldn't even understand what faith was, a fool who only knew how to raise his head and look up at the starry sky all night, but he once fulfilled the agreement to defeat Guligli, and then went to the Night's Watch to find Augustine alone across 3 provinces.

Augustine continued his way down with the two maidens carrying Descartes, while Hera took some of the things that Augustine had chosen, which were the furthest from the orthodox aristocratic hobbies of the Count of Marseille's carriage, such as goose-down bedding and small wool hand-woven carpets, which he had given to surprise the maidens, and he asked Elizabeth, who was most fond of calling servants, to settle the rest of the family, who was actually quite sure that she would swallow the bedding and carpet, but Augustine was still accustomed to turning a blind eye to them.

Ares is responsible for everything that needs to be transferred to A5, Augustine never doubts Ares' execution, and in this regard, the lame servant is even more reliable than Elizabeth, at least he won't reach out for a copper plate like Lori's butler, and he won't spit on him because he is missing a Caesar gold coin.

Coming to the Sheep's Horn Experimental Area on the second basement floor, the members of the Sheep's Horn who have been studying a large number of topics day and night immediately gathered in a hall dedicated to displaying the research results, Miss Rey, the workaholic chief research officer, and Professor Shirley, who is regarded by Elizabeth as the number one potential enemy, are also present, the former seems to be thinner, but the spirit is soaring, it is not surprising, a group of poor lambs abandoned by the mother of the black sheep, Lord Hai Ji, thought that the future was bleak, but suddenly found that the new shepherd was a little more reliable than expected, with Miss Phile's noble scientific spirit, of course, can regain confidence and fighting spirit。

Professor Shirley, who wore a ponytail and a pair of rimless scholar's glasses, threw an unbridled wink.

Augustine turned a blind eye to this, motioned to the two young girls covered in a large patch of blood to put Descartes on the ground, and said, "You can save him first, and keep a minimum of consciousness, and you don't need to let him jump around." Otherwise, a healed heretic knight can destroy the entire horn. ”

Speaking of the last sentence, Augustine glanced at everyone seemingly nonchalantly, adding, "It is forbidden to conduct any research on him, though, and I do not want the corpses of any of you or some of you to be used as test subjects. The good news is that in the next six months, a large number of high-level living and dark species will be sent into the sheep's horns, so you are ready to fight a long battle. ”

"Does anyone know the way back?" Augustine asked with a smile as he left the Sheep's Horn Test Area.

Juliet's face was indifferent, and Agatha stopped talking, as if she was hesitating to speak.

Hera looked at the latter with a smile and said, "Agatha has a good memory, she can barely remember, and her nuclear weight capacity is not small, I believe she is a good arcanist seedling." ”

"Your Excellency, I can only remember half the way. The maiden Agatha said timidly.

"Very good results. Augustine applauded, although it was not as inhuman as Phil, the chief research officer of Sheephorn, but at least it could barely be classified as a genius, and 12 gold coins was quite a good deal. However, the natural skeptic still gave a question to test the reliability of Agatha's ability, "Then do you remember who was the eighth left-hand in the second row of the hall just now?"

"Your Excellency, there are only seven people in the second row, five men and two women. Agatha covered her mouth with a charming smile and smiled, what a little stunner, and then she looked at Augustine with a look of adoration and admiration, which were as beautiful as emeralds, and her voice with a hint of natural coquettishness was also very light, "Honorable Archon, don't worry, I haven't seen anything here, so I won't have anything to say when I go back." ”

Augustine nodded, sure enough, she was a beautiful and intelligent little beauty.

Juliet glanced at her well-behaved and docile companion, her hazel eyes full of well-disguised disdain.

"I'll take you back. Next, you will learn arcane arts from Miss Hera, and I will teach you magic and red gamma techniques in my spare time, as long as your absorption ability is strong enough, I can instill in you knowledge that ordinary nobles cannot touch, and the power derived from knowledge is a good thing that can be trusted more than the faith born of religion. Augustine laughed, a Agatha who made him feel a little more comfortable after spending the money made him feel much brighter, and the gains of the Alpha trip had far exceeded expectations, although there were also several potential dangers that had to be tracked, but overall the gains exceeded the hidden losses.

Sending the two girls with very different personalities back to the B2 area, Augustine led Hera to the third basement floor and sighed: "It is too contradictory to come from an artistic family but to be as smooth as a nobleman, and the other to come from an out-and-out Plantagenet family, but to be stubborn like a Sicilian wooden ox." The only thing we have in common is that as long as we give you enough soil and nutrients, you can all become the future black swan. ”

"Which one do you prefer?" Hera asked curiously.

"Secret. Augustine smiled and led Hera through the third floor of the Labyrinth of Stangon to the fourth floor of his study, where the sleeping Prince Demeter had moved Ares to the edge of the ninth layer of God's Left Eye Magic Circle, which would hasten his awakening.

Let Hera put down what he was interested in, Augustine sat at his desk, looking at the information given to him by Phileu, it was he who asked her to give the attribute information of all the personnel of the sheep's horn, to Augustine's disappointment was that the things given by the chief research officer were not even as detailed as his assessment of the members of the new knights, but this is still secondary, after all, only a handful of extreme characters in this world like to use data to do crazy settings, what really makes Augustine regret that the determination of several suspicious characters in the horns of the sheep is extremely bland in the information given by Phile, Augustine frowned: "Do you want to know the truth, or do you cover it up out of the overflowing maternal brilliance?"

Hera looked at the study quietly, for her, the man in front of her was a treasure worth exploring more than the castle of Stanggo, and since he had the devil's tradition of details, she was ready to start trying to pursue the ultimate in details, so all his fetishes were worthy of scrutiny, except for his profanity with her body.

"Do you know why you're the first outsider to come here?" Augustine put down the information and turned to look at the female arcanist who was standing honestly in the doorway and never stepped further.

"Valuable, will not betray Rotonchild. Hera gave the right answer in her mind.

"Wrong. ”

Augustine narrowed his eyes, stared at Hera's beautiful legs, licked his dry lips and whispered, "Because I am a determined great goddess to control men, especially when this goddess also has a light and mature face and a pair of slender thighs. ”
