Augustine actually had a headache about how to entertain this group of white-robed priests of the Church Council who did not have good intentions, public information shows that the number of this jury has a total of sixteen people, and the highest title is only one of the vast number of metropolitan of the Vatican City, but the sensitive point is that this white-robed metropolitan from a clergy family was once a high-ranking "Ruhef" , that is, the official missionary of the Patriarch's Order, this group dedicated to the development of the wasteland of faith for the Holy See, is a transcendent institution that can obtain a relative tribute, and Metropolitan Willian was one of the twelve Metropolitan of Ruhef before he entered the Synod, second only to the "First Ruhef" In Augustine's eyes, except for the exclusive superiority of the white-robed priest, it is useless, and the night watchmen have had enough of the arrogance of these sheepdogs, except for the arrogance of these shepherds, they dare not talk about the giants of the ruling office, especially the ewe Haige, and even the Marquis Wilde, who has one of the best battle values of the night watch, has suffered from these people.

When Augustine only brought his titular diplomat, Mrs. Quentin, to meet the jury on the border of Black Swan Lake, and only casually said whether they could arrange the meeting at the White Elephant Castle, they did not expect that they would happily agree without hesitation, presumably all the way, compared to the small and shabby Château de la Poetry, the distinguished inquisitors looked forward to the comfortable environment of the White Elephant Castle, and Metropolitan Willian even refused to get out of the carriage on the grounds of ill health, until under the majestic and iconic white walls of the White Elephant Castle, Augustine was able to see the true face of the famous Ruhef, dressed in a luxurious white robe, except for the Metropolitan embroidered medallion, there is also a family badge and the medal of honor awarded to him by both sides of the Imperial Curia, and his chest is full of dazzling, not inferior to the nobles who want to die in the imperial capital, Augustine, as a shabby host who does not fulfill his duties, seems to have no frame of the new giants of the Sacramental Ministry, and took the initiative to step forward to greet the metropolitan, which made Mrs. Quentin, who did not have a good impression of the Vatlantican Holy See, very embarrassed, when she endured the "trial" of more than a dozen judges all the way Eyes, finally even the Metropolitan looked at her in line with the Creator's aesthetic figure, and finally there were signs of outbursts of anger, Augustine threw away a seemingly relaxed and casual look at the right time, Lady Quentin immediately transformed from a grumpy lioness to a well-behaved kitten, and replied to the old Metropolis a far-fetched but still charming smile, if it weren't for the fact that someone had already come forward to greet her at the White Elephant Castle, the Metropolitan would have liked to have a conversation with this female diplomat who was far more pleasing to the eyes than the descendants of the young traitor, and he had to hold her little hand in order to express his selfless love for the lost lamb regardless of his previous suspicions, and Greenspan was greeted by Miss Alice herself, all aristocratic courtesy, not bad at all, this made the metropolitan who was tired of hearing the rumors of barbarians not paying attention to etiquette a little surprised, especially when the jury stepped into the castle, and saw the barbarians squandering Caesar's gold coins as copper plates at will, the mood was even more comfortable, and when they drank the dim sum and black tea comparable to the top banquet of the imperial capital, they were originally at the bottom of the mood because of a drudgery, and they each praised the generosity of the Lord from the bottom of their hearts, and each praised the generosity of the Lord from the bottom of their hearts in their hearts, Augustine did not taste the food, but just sat in the corner, with a warm smile, and a slight disadvantage of the restraint, which made Lady Quentin helpless for a while, and could not understand why this despicable and sinister archon changed his style and so deliberately surrendered his identity, so strange.

Only one of the young knights accompanying the team was not so interested in the beauty of Lady Quentin, and paid more attention to the person being judged, and entered the castle of the white elephant, and he was like Augustine, he did not eat with his mouth, and sat in a very military manner.

Alice smiled politely, "Metropolis, according to the request of His Excellency the Archon, I have helped you sort out a meeting hall that can be negotiated at any time. Of course, the rooms are also well prepared and offer beautiful views of the British Mountains. ”

The Metropolitan nodded aristocratic and said politely: "Miss Alice, you are a lady who is not inferior to any famous lady in the imperial capital, and I will gladly defend some less accurate rumors for you when I return to Jupiter City." ”

Miss Alice laughed, "My family and I will be grateful to the Metropolitan for his tolerance and wisdom. And I have always respected your great contribution to the mission of the Holy See in the Duchy of Rosary, and I would love to hear your touching stories. ”

The Metropolitan narrowed his eyes, looked at the barbarian heir, who was much more delicate and beautiful than he had imagined, and said cheerfully: "This is no problem, Miss Alice, but we came overnight, and we were a little tired, and we wanted to rest first. ”

Miss Alice turned her head and said, "Old Asa, it is Greenspan's honor to take the Metropolitan to the room, and to do his best to meet any need. ”

The Metropolitan took the jury to follow the old butler upstairs, from beginning to end, did not talk to Augustine with a polite word, and did not even appear to meet the eyes, and when the jury disappeared from view, Augustine picked up the teacup, but this cup of tea was brought to him by Alice herself, Alice sat next to Mrs. Quentin, but her eyes stayed on Augustine gently, Mrs. Quentin sneered: "Your Excellency Archon, it seems that you don't have any friends in the imperial capital, and your reputation doesn't seem to be very good." ”

Augustine drank impeccable and precious Ceylon Highland black tea, and said disapprovingly: "In the Empire, I don't have many friends. As for fame, you can't expect respect from a little bastard who was said to bully a beautiful maid not long after he was born in Augs, Aunt Quentin, your expectations are too high. ”

Alice covered her mouth and smiled. Lady Quentin, who was called Auntie, looked annoyed, glared at Augustine, and mocked, "You were just thrown aside?"

Augustine put down his teacup, squinted at Madame Quentin, whose chest was trembling slightly because of anger, and said with a strange smile: "Or I will cry and shout and beg the Metropolitan to convict me?" Aunt Quentin, you should not be fooled by the young and handsome appearance of the Metropolitan, will you?"

The mad Lady Quentin pouted her head fiercely.

Miss Alice couldn't help laughing, indeed, the Metropolitan was "very young and handsome".

Suddenly, a knight went and returned alone, without too many cumbersome medals, and only by his attire could only tell that he was an honorary knight of the Templar Order of the Senate, this was known as the most elegant knight in the Empire, and every young knight was a qualified lover of the imperial lame, and when they walked neatly through the streets of Jupiter, they received countless throwing flowers. Lady Quentin is not attentive to the details of the Holy Empire, but Alice, who is in the first line of the family, is much sharper-eyed, this young knight has three Cambridge grasses embroidered on his shoulders, according to common sense, this is by no means an amazing honor that can be obtained at his age, because it means that he has received three Cambridge feats of strangulation heresy, this inconspicuous but weighty feats in the Empire are only awarded to knights who have participated in bloody battles and won great victories, such knights, such knights, only one step away from great praise. Therefore, this achievement is reasonable to put it in the position of deputy head of the Knights Templar.

When Alice saw the arrival of the mysterious knight, she got up and left understandingly, giving up a large and splendid living room to the three of them. Augustine didn't get up this time, and Lady Quentin thought it was just because of the strange knight's status, but she was surprised by the results. The young knight with a baby face but an outstanding temperament made a standard knightly salute to Augustine, without a trace of coping, his eyes were hot, and he said respectfully: "Goethes Dragontongue Dragonlancer Knight Fermi Joseph See Your Excellency the Archon!" This sentence almost made the absent-minded Lady Quentin squirt out black tea, Goethes Dragontongue Knights?, the 13-petaled Chrysanthemum Knights under the command of Emperor Jupiter, and the Cardinal Knights of the Senate under Queen Goschel, which are one of the three most combat-ready knights in the Empire? And this inconspicuous brown-haired youth is still the highest-ranking dragon lancer in Goethe's dragon tongue?!

Augustine smiled, "Remember, the daredevil-knight who was kicked in the ass by me in the battle of Kepler's gallows?"

The young knight smiled heartily, grateful that the man in front of him, who was younger than him, remembered him.

Augustine wondered, "You were transferred from the Sacramental Congregation to the Senate?"

Fermi, the dragon lancer, nodded, "At present, it is under the direct command of His Excellency Second Secretary of State, His Excellency Saray. ”

Augustine is not surprised, the only radical leader in the Senate who can compete with that girl, Rachel's Tiger, has always liked to tap potential knights, and vigorously promoted him, and this is a great knight who almost has a chance to enter the Emperor's Knights. It's just a small doubt, the inquisition came to Black Swan Lake at the behest of the woman with the largest vase in the empire, and the second secretary of state is not in the same camp as her, as a descendant of Rachel's Tiger, what drove him to join the inquisition? Augustine pondered, but it did not prevent a gentle expression from appearing on his face, this change, presumably the dragon lancer could feel it, just in the face of the less sophisticated inquisition, the youngest and certainly the most powerful black patriarch in the history of the Holy See did not have this sincerity. Fermi-Joseph did not stay long and soon left, and Mrs. Quentin asked suspiciously: "Have you participated in the most tragic battle of Kepler's gallows in the Vatlantican Holy See in the last ten years?"

She is not blind and deaf, she has escaped from the scientific and technological institute under the papal hall over the years, hiding under the wings of the barbarians in Marceau, but she still has access to a lot of secrets through the knowledgeable Alice, the battle of Kepler's gallows is naturally the highlight that cannot be bypassed, and the underground war is mixed with too many hidden forces, the papal hall of the Byzantio Holy See, the sacramental ministry of the Vatlantican, the [demigods] of the Muse Continent, the twelve surnames of Judahma, the werewolf clan of the former underground kings who have lost their roots, the half-orcs, a large number of dark magicians, etc., too much. Augustine smiled hatefully, "You want to hear the truth, but you'll have to serve once with your mouth, but I promise it's worth it." ”

Lady Quentin blushed and scolded, "Dreaming! You shameless knight who cultivates the source of [Saint] faith!"

Augustine's face does not change color, and he drinks tea gently.

For a long time, Mrs. Quentin couldn't hold back her intense curiosity and took a step back, "You speak first." ”

Augustine said disdainfully: "You are not very good at business, so you should sell me the antique shop on Witch Street earlier." ”

Lady Quentin gritted her teeth and told herself that she could no longer be left to chance with the door-slamming consul.

Augustine put down his teacup, apparently preparing to bury the little secret entirely. Lady Quentin was finally defeated by herself, and said indignantly, "Say it!"

Augustine, who succeeded in the conspiracy, smiled and said slowly: "I am the fuse of the Kepler Gallows Battle, and I am the one who ended this disgusting battle." In the end, I was able to capture 184 faith points in this battle, almost breaking the single record of the Congregation of the Sacraments. That's all for now, and I'll tell you more of the wonderful stories as Mrs. Quentin serves. ”

Mrs. Quentin was stunned, not knowing whether it was the scoundrel who shocked him or the absurdity of the truth.

All day, the jury was more like a sightseeing group from afar, eating delicious food, drinking good wine, and under the intimate advice of Miss Alice, they went out of the castle to visit the nearby scenery, in short, Augustine and the no longer swaddling Cosmo were completely left aside, fortunately Augustine spent an afternoon on the most beautiful cliff terrace of the White Elephant Castle, Alice accompanied him to play Paya chess for several hours, Augustine lost without any suspense, he sighed in his heart to play this intellectual game, I am afraid that only the timid and afraid of death with a pockmarked face but wearing the Iron Oak Medal is Alice's opponentAlice once whispered to Augustine if he wanted the old Paya chess, but Augustine refused, saying that it was pointless to accept it, and no one wanted to play chess with him, which made Miss Alice a little disappointed, and she originally wanted to use this as an excuse to visit the underground castle of Poetry. The two stood near the fence, looking into the distance, Lady Quentin had not shown up, probably angry and regretful for the unbearable "service", Augustin felt the refreshing breeze on his face, and laughed softly: "Why, aren't you going to let the Metropolitan see the most touching viewpoint of the White Elephant Castle?"

Alice smiled, "Do you want to? I can send out an invitation if you wish." ”

Augustine shook his head and said, "I don't want this pure land to be defiled by hypocrites." I wish that all the guests of the White Elephant Castle would be rejected except me. ”

Alice tilted her head and said seriously, "Yes." ”

Augustine turned his head and smiled, "Alice, didn't your ceremonial officer educate you with a thorny rose so that the noble man can put a moth to the fire?"

Alice playfully said, "Ah, forgot. ”

Augustine laughed, "Then please Miss Alice forget this reminder that I am asking for trouble." ”

Alice laughed.

Augustine had to remind: "Lady lady. ”

Alice imitated Augustine's tone and said, "his lady!"

Augustine was speechless.

Mrs. Quentin, who had come to the terrace to see this scene, shook her head and smiled bitterly, and the old butler who was waiting at the door of the terrace showed a smile of vicissitudes.

On this day, Augustine stayed at the White Elephant Castle, and at noon the next day, the jury lazily sent a message to Augustine for a meeting after dinner. Augustine had no objection. It was only the roar of horses' hooves that reached the majestic castle that interrupted the dinner, and when Alice got the news, she said that a group of uninvited guests had come from the imperial capital, and that Greenspan had not been invited, and that the party had even unjustifiably crossed several private domains of the great nobles in the western part of Marceau, even Greenspan. This surprised everyone in the jury, including Metropolitan Willian, especially when Alice said that this team was composed of about one hundred and twenty high-ranking knights, with the Clough family badge, the jury was even more puzzling, Clough, tsk, it was an ancient big-name family that was even more domineering than the barbarians, especially when the old owner of Clough, the old man of Clough, who had retired from the aristocratic stage for more than 20 years, "Count Vampire" Returning to the imperial capital from the monastery of Maideola, regaining full control of the family, Clough's prestige skyrocketed, this title is only the status of the old man of the earl, from the first day he returned to Jupiter by His Majesty the Emperor appeared in the Clough Mansion in person, it can be seen that the "little thing" worth mentioning is that the second knight of the empire, the chief servant knight of the Emperor Jupiter, the "Valian" Lafayette, was the family knight of the old earl, it is said that this knight of the holy coffin, when he saw the old master, knelt down and kissed the sword scabbard of the Clough family. So the group walked to the window and looked at the fierce knights who were heading straight for the White Elephant Castle, and a certain fellow, who had been expressing unimaginable "awe" to the Inquisition for the past two days, walked out of the hall and came outside the castle, and calmly accepted the oath of allegiance from the one hundred and twenty senior knights of Clough.

Upstairs at the window, Madame Quentin smiled and explained to the stunned Metropolitan, "Our Archon, Your Excellency, is the personal priest of Count Clough, or the only godfather of little Clough, who is only two years old. ”
