Volume II Chapter 67 The King of Kings

The jewel in the crown of the barbarians, Miss Alice obediently followed the advice of her new neighbor who was also a private magic teacher, and returned to the White Elephant Castle alone in a carriage that would be coveted by any of the great nobles of the Empire, perhaps neither Alice nor Steward Asa had imagined that as soon as they left the Villa of Paradise on their front feet, a fat viscount who had been judged blasphemous by the Fourth Giant of the Imperial Sacraments was quickly hung with an angel sculpture, and the bloated corpse and slender and exquisite statues constituted a not-so-rosy picture, and it was intriguing that Condy, the Fraternist, kept the greatest silence。 In the carriage, a worried Alice whispered to the old butler beside her, "Old Asa, will be all right?"

The old man, who had always been silent but wise, smiled bitterly: "Miss, Your Excellency the Great Consul will be fine, but others will not be able to say it." ”

Alice smiled and said coquettishly, "Old Asa, are you worried that he is attending the banquet today with the title of the personal magic teacher of the White Elephant Castle and causing trouble to Greenspan?"

The old butler looked at the pride of the family, after the death of the lady, except for the only girl in the world who could make the rebellious head of the family as docile as a lamb in a few words, the old man's heart was full of doting without words, shook his head, and made a harmless little joke kindly: "Miss Alice, is this trouble worse than Augustin and Lady Quentin's 'accidental' destruction of the castle map?

Alice smiled, but then became heavy, because the twentieth birthday gift she received in advance not only included a brand new map named the New World of the British Island Chain by Ka Miao, but also a pair of Paya war chess that had just been sent to the study, the new war chess was specially tailored for her, compared to the ivory old Paya that was already cumbersome enough, this war chess role is more numerous, adding nearly one-third of the roles, more than two hundred originally planned war chess increased to nearly three hundred, and new "actors" were added Coincidentally, it was the member of the circus that was jokingly called the Circus by the Chief of Order, Lecch, Blood Gnomes, Wolves, Orcs and many other dark heretics, this new Paya war chess, like the epic map, will never be the same, the Marquis who enjoys the honorable title of "German" has always declared that his daughter is the most unique treasure in the world, and what she has, even a small toy, a small floral dress, cannot be copied and imitated by other celebrities. Old Asa grew up more and more willing to remain silent, for the old butler knew that the future was destined to be a new mind for Greenspan, and that he would not always need the advice of an old fellow.

It is inconceivable that the two nobles who had just attended the banquet were so disgraced that they had to return to the territory on foot, but it seemed that the young male nobles enjoyed the evening walk, and the women, who were more beautiful than all the nobles of Marceau, were relatively depressed, after all, when they went to the forest villa, they sat comfortably in the noble carriage drawn by the thoroughbred and fennel horses of Haze, and after walking for some distance, she looked at the slender figure who was a few steps away from her, he was bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, and his steps were firm, worthy of the standard ascetics from the monastery of Maidaiola, and he was very accustomed to long journeys, Lady Quentin, who has been ridiculed by this guy for her inversely proportional head and chest scale, actually has no complaints in her heart, don't forget, with the top dark gold equipment that the assassin profession dreams of - Lu Si Dagger to harvest the life of a * lord She is not only a heretic practitioner of the Irish Book of the Dead, but also a real high-level assassin, only one step away from the hunter, as for the second-rate aristocratic identity of the Plantagenet, it has long been gone with the wind and fallen into the dust.

As night fell, she and the only Commander of the Empire, who had been quiet all the way, finally walked into the Black Swan Lake, he examined the magic array of God's left eye near the end, the Aquarius Array in the Golden Zodiac, a statue of Athena Aquarius had been completed, a clear spring flowed out of the water bottle, and Lady Quentin, who had been walking for two hours without stopping, was finally able to wash off the blood on her hands, he withdrew his gaze from the elegant statue of Athena, cast it on Lady Quentin's face, and smiled: " I'm sorry to let a beautiful lady who had lost her title of nobility accompany me from the Bird of Paradise Villa to the Château de la Snère. ”

Mrs. Quentin shook the drops of water from her hands in disgust, and it was evident that she was not happy to accept such an insincere apology. Augustine did not mind the small pride peculiar to such noblewomen and celebrities, today he did not immediately enter the underground castle of poetry, but came to the shore of the Black Swan Lake and sat down, the little boy entrenched at the bottom of the lake, the black mamba snake that ranked first in the golden subspecies poked out a huge head from the surface of the lake, Augustine waved his hand kindly, it was regarded as a greeting, not small, on the contrary, it should be said that the giant little boy happily fluttered a splash, and then sank to the bottom of the lake again, it now has to take care of the pregnant "wife" , the Nile white python nicknamed the little girl, Augustine made a small bet with his miser butler, he bet that the little girl would lay an egg, and Elizabeth, who is very confident in her beloved pet, bet two, if Augustine loses, half of the dividends of the Maca fat pig in the future will be intercepted and included in the private wallet of the Lori butler, but Augustine is of course happy to lose this gamble in his heart, and one more can make countless "silver mongrels" The feared golden subspecies, even if it is a juvenile subspecies, is an astonishing fortune of incalculable value for the cosmo.

In front of Lady Quentin, who had been reduced to his confinement to some extent, Augustine would usually only restrain his mean words when he was at a negative distance from her, but this time he rarely chatted with her calmly, looked at the mirror-like lake, and said slowly: "My teacher once mentioned an interesting argument, the epic continent is an ant nest that the gods have forgotten to keep breadcrumbs, and faith is getting thinner and thinner, so officially recognized miracles are becoming rarer and rarer. ”

Lady Quentin has a natural female curiosity about this orphan of the Rotonchildshire family, and she probably knows that he once had a private governess, and he is a woman, and in her opinion, the muse shaman queen who dwells in the shell of Princess Plantagenet Pei Fen is powerful enough to pervert, is his magic teacher even more terrifying? Augustine gave a vague answer today, but unfortunately there are too many uncertainties:" In the Night's Watch, I have used many points of faith to go through the dusty top-secret codex, and there is one passage that I remember in my mind, and you may take it as a joke when you say it, do you want to hear it, little kitten? In the natural world of the jungle, the more the king of beasts, the more he likes the feeling of being far away from the beasts and looking down on the common people, and the same is true for human beings, because the superior will not walk with the lowly, and this person is the king of kings, we can only vaguely know that she appeared in the Mayan Snow Mountain Temple 119 years ago, appeared on the Golden Island 78 years ago, and the latest clue is 49 years ago, she appeared in the Central Church of the Empire in the Far North. In addition, there is only an obscure mention in a very small and taboo work, The Mother Empress, which has few readers: "She is the only being who can freely enter and leave the Mayan temple, she is one of the few beings in human history who can control dragons, she is listed as a demigod by the Midgod of the Muse, and she is the king of kings." 'Lady Quentin, remember the Titan Dragon's Eye Staff, which actually came from one of the most senior astrologers in the Empire at the Abbey of Maideola, and who claimed to be the dumbest of my teacher's students. ”

Lady Quentin looked incredulous, this is the unknown aristocratic heritage of the Rotonchild family?

Augustine gently threw a pebble into the lake and laughed at himself, "I don't know who she really is, and I don't know if I should bring flowers or a leather whip when I have the honor to see her again in the future." ”

Madame Quentin couldn't help but roll her eyes, anyway, in front of him, aristocratic etiquette has always been shitty, and what he really cares about and strictly follows is nothing more than the unreasonable and unique piety of the veteran monk of Maidaiola. Augustine, who was a little more emotional than before, stood up, as if he was ready to resume his identity as the head of the order of extreme sanity, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: " Originally, the circus was supposed to pounce on the Black Swan Lake today, but for the sake of the face of the trial team of the Senate that will arrive tomorrow morning, it was delayed for a while, it seems that I should prepare a hearty breakfast for this low-standard court, fortunately, my housekeeper also secretly hid a few boxes of fine wine looted from Bailu Manor, but it is inevitable that she will be extorted a sum of money, and it will be recorded in her small ledger, which is no different from being usurious, and I can only pray that she will not be able to recognize her own font in the future. ”

At the mention of Elizabeth, Lady Quentin smiled wryly, the Ruth dagger, which she had obtained from the Shaman Queen at great expense, and to be honest, she would rather accept Augustine's verbal insults than face that seemingly innocent and sinister smile. Finally, Augustine concludes with a sentence that makes the charming little cat of Florence feel complicated: "The hypocrite, even if he is surrounded by thousands of people, will eventually be lonely." A devout person with a strong faith, even if he goes to war with the whole world, is lonely, not lonely. So the Castle of Poetry, where you are, is not lonely, and so am I, and I hope you are too, and this is the greatest reward that a poor man can give you, a beautiful lady. ”

Entering the underground castle, Augustine finished praying in his private study, and inspected the Sheep's Horn Laboratory as usual, Hera recently purchased a batch of unlucky knights from the slave market in Alpha City, which had been doing good business, and was sent to Sayuri, Rose, and Rose in batches Professor Shirley, Professor Kim, who is sloppy in life but academically crazy and rigorous, have all been summoned to the conference room, today is a weekly exchange of ideas that cannot be shaken, at the meeting, the three glamour abandoners who shine in the new place each elaborate on the progress of the research, Miss Phile's report is decent, Professor Kim, who is not good at words, still said a study that would have been very emotional, Augustine does not dwell on such details, Cosmo never needs a speaker, the only surprise is that the Rose Laboratory, which has been patting at the end, gave a big surprise, Professor Shirley said excitedly: "Your Excellency, the artificial nuclear weight project has overcome the greatest difficulty, and the second filling has been successfully completed for the first time, and a new and unknown field will be ushered in, please wait and see. This is a report of information, please take a look at it. ”

Augustine took a few pages of information that were not heavy, this is also the report style he requested, and it is absolutely not allowed to appear even a single aristocratic ornate word in the experimental report, otherwise you are joking with precious thoughts, and after carefully browsing it, Augustin, who rarely smiled in front of the members of the sheep's horns, squeezed out a reluctant smile of relief, nodded and said: "Congratulations to Rose, this report can get at least 5 thought points." Professor Shirley, as an added bonus, you are free to distribute these points. ”

Perhaps under the influence of his old boss, Lord Ewe, Professor Shirley, who wore a pair of delicate gold wire glasses, smiled slightly, her beautiful eyes were full of mature temptation, and even Augustine couldn't help but feel a little ripple in his heart. Miss Phile, whose face was old-fashioned, did not move at all, and could not see the mood swings, while Professor Kim scratched his head, obviously a little depressed, in fact, the harvest of his rose laboratory was not shabby, but the young king of this black kingdom preferred the field of artificial nuclear weights, for this undisguised preference, he did not dare to harbor half a complaint, half because he sincerely admired the wisdom of this classical noble master, and the other half was because of the fact that behind the young archon was a more terrifying character, and her research results were not deliberately displayed, or her little toys, were enough to make the results of the entire sheep's horn laboratory dim。 Let's count the "cute" toys of the housekeeper, the skeleton knight who easily suppresses the horns, the two "lichs" that appeared for the first time in human history, the level 18 dragon knight named "Descartes" revealed by Lord Augustine not long ago, and the vague heavy news that a "Lich King" is about to be born, all of this is too depressing.

Assistant Teacher Kim sighed in his heart: this familiar feeling of heavy oppression is like returning to the ewe.
