Volume 1 The Imperial Dark Gold Puppet Chapter 39 Stretch out your right hand, Lady Quentin
Looking up at the White Elephant Castle at the Black Swan Manor, like a white elephant entrenched at the top of a mountain range, this is a taciturn giant, who looks exceptionally young and strong in the famous castles of the Empire, and the silence reflects a tenacious and vigorous vitality like Greenspan's family history.
While climbing the back of this majestic barbarian, Augustine began to sketch out the perfect blueprint of [Order] in his mind, the organization of this institution on the drawing has been stretched to the limit, but everything is based on the fact that [Order] is only based on Black Swan Lake, if, can the White Elephant Castle that occupies the commanding heights in the northwest corner of Marceau County be included in the system? That will undoubtedly make [Order] have a deterrent advantage of a transcendent position in the military field, but he wants to extend his tentacles to the heart of the barbarians- The White Elephant Castle meant that the Dark Archon had to annex most of Greenspan's Blossom Territory, and Augustine really couldn't think of a good reason for the barbarians to remove their hearts, but every time he climbed a distance, this unreasonable ambition increased by a point, and when he climbed to the balcony for a second, he even decided to drag Miss Alice into the abyss with an olive branch.
"Take me on a tour of the White Elephant Castle. Augustine held a cup of mellow and slightly hot black tea, and there was no low-key subtlety in his tone, as if he were the male owner of the White Elephant Castle.
Alice didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this, and happily took the ill-intentioned Augustine to visit the White Elephant Castle, the number of servants in the castle was far less than the average size of the castle, there were only a few maids along the way, and the hostess and strange men expressed their respect from the bottom of their hearts, which undoubtedly reminded Augustine of the good times when he was a child in Rotonchild, at that time, the black humor scandal that the young master Augustine could toss the sister flower maid at the age of 5 without sleeping all night, and in fact, the family servants are sincerely in love with the cute little earl, and Alice, who acts as a tour guide, took the opportunity to tell Augustine about Greenspan's funAfter all, the empire is full of false gossip that misinterprets the barbarians, and Alice doesn't want Augustine to be biased against the family because of this.
The main castle hall covers an area of nearly a thousand square meters, and in it, it is incomparably small, and it is filled with dense place names written in the standard and neat official language of Plantagenet, even today, Plantagenet is still the chief language of the Epic Continent, and although Titan and Caesar of the Holy Empire are also common languages, they are obviously still a grade weaker than Plantagenet." All empires are running, and the first Plantagenet is a weak and old giant who fell to the ground more than a hundred years ago, but even so, he fell to the ground before all the empires. ”
"Epic Continent Territory?" Augustine said in shock, as beneath his feet was the junction of the Holy Empire and the Titan Kingdom, the province of Panshen.
"Want to look more closely?" Alice has been looking forward to this moment, this is perhaps the most detailed and largest map of the Epic Continent is her outstanding work, as a master player obsessed with war chess games, on a whim, she collected the largest federation of the Epic Continent, namely the Plantagenet Dynasty, 3 major empires, 17 principalities, and scattered vassal states and free city-states, and made a map according to a certain scale, and drew it on the floor of the hall, which is simply a work of art. She led Augustine to the center of the continent, and at the apex was the Monaco dragon vein where the Mayan temple of the magical sanctuary was built, Augustine hesitated, but still stepped on the Monaco dragon vein, and not far away there was an extraordinarily dazzling golden-colored landmark, which was a string of letters that could make any magician fearful when combined- The Mayan Temple, almost every magician who left arias and legends in the epic continent is inseparable from it, according to scarce confidential information, the temple screens out ten sages in the entire continent about every 5 years, and is only accepted after passing the assessment, and its examiner is not a higher-level magician, but a dragon sleeping in the dragon vein, its difficulty can be imagined.
A column protrudes from the feet of Augustine and Alice, slowly ascending and stopping at a height of ten meters.
Augustine finally looked down on the continent.
It's a different kind of shock.
The Plantagenet Dynasty, which is old and tired in the center of the continent but still wears the crown of the continent, and the Kamiao Empire in the extreme north, is like a rebellious white bear, dormant in the north of the continent, ready to stretch out its giant claws to the south at any time, roaring and roaring. The Holy Empire in the northeast, after two generations of emperors Taoguang and recuperation, gradually emerged. The Titan Kingdom, which refused to compromise with any power, finally showed its fangs after completing the annexation and integration of the Austro-Hungarian Commonwealth......
Kingdoms and counties, large and small, conspired to strangle on this map, appeared on the stage, and withdrew from the stage.
"Is it pretty?" Alice cocked her heels slightly, her hands folded behind her back, like a child waiting for an adult's praise after doing a good deed.
"Spectacular. Augustine sighed.
Alice stood contentedly beside Augustine with a big smile.
Augustine's eyes narrowed suddenly, as he saw a character who was definitely not supposed to be in the White Elephant Castle walk into the hall and look up to meet him.
She is the woman who almost successfully traded with Augustine for the heroin-level [Hot Springs], and the "maid" of the Champs-Elysée Witch Street antique shop [Queen] , I haven't seen her for a while, maybe it's because she changed into a simple but sexy bandeau dress today, and the two little white rabbits on her chest are even more restless and self-conscious, ready to come out, angel face, devil figure, Augustine has a deep memory of her maid outfit in the queen's shop, especially when Elizabeth revealed that the seemingly non-lethal shopkeeper was a heretic who minored in the Irish Book of the Dead, Augustine put her on the danger list. After his baptism, he today looked at all the heretics that had emerged in the province of Marceau, and the more dangerous it was, the higher the potential value.
The column fell, and the floor of the hall finally returned to its original state, Augustine, who did not carry the staff of Titan Dragon's Eye today, motioned for Alice to stay where he was, and walked towards the mysterious female little gamma magician who was also walking towards him without hurrying, two meters away, Augustine smiled: "Dear Madam, can you stretch out your right hand?"
"No, Your Excellency the Consul. She looked like she was just a girl, but she still looked innocent.
Elizabeth explained that majoring in the Irish Book of the Dead would require an exchange of contracts with the Gamma Emperor, an alchemist whose right middle finger would have a dull gold texture that could not be erased for a lifetime, and a minor would be equivalent to believing in the Gamma Empress, and a string of ancient Latin symbols of the same color would appear on the little finger, the dark meaning of which would be "our ultimate salvation". This special manifestation of identity cannot be disguised, and cutting off a finger is tantamount to breaking the contract, and it will be subject to the wrath of those who believe in the Gamma King, and the punishment of the Sacramental Congregation for this type of heresy is exactly that.
So the "young lady" was clearly not stupid enough to hand her right hand to a magnate of the Inquisition.
"Ma'am, is it because I'm not handsome enough?" said Augustine, with a look of distress.
"It's because you're so handsome. The hostess of the Queen's antique shop smiled and bowed slightly, as if to express her respect and intimacy, followed by the trembling of her chest, what a thrilling scene.
Inexplicably, Miss Alice trotted between them and explained to Augustine, "Augustine, it was Aunt Quentin who recommended you to me to be my personal magic teacher, and she was also a guest invited by the White Elephant Castle today. ”
"Since it's a guest of White Elephant Castle, it must be a guest of Cosmo. Augustine smiled.
Alice was confused.
"Aunt Quentin", who looked younger than Alice, pretended to be surprised and covered Bai Nen's chest and said, "It's an honor." ”
Then she also narrowed her eyes, and finally stopped looking innocent and naïve that anyone could abduct, took a step forward, and said softly: "If I remember correctly, how many hot springs did Your Excellency Archon drink in the Queen's Shop on the Champs-Elysée Witch Street, and later the miracle [Redemption] of the Law Orange? What do you say, Lord Augustine?"
Augustine didn't move, drank the last sip of the black tea that was already slightly cold, and nodded: "It was indeed a misjudgment." ”
He picked up the teacup that the Plantagenet royal family was usually entitled to have, and said with a smile: "At that time, my nuclear weight capacity was like this teacup. ”
"And now?" said Lady Quentin, her eyes full of doubt and teasing.
Augustine spread his hands.
He stood in the middle of the hall, and the answer was obvious.
