Volume II, Chapter 70, The Thirteenth Portrait
That night the jury left the White Elephant Castle in disgrace, and the so-called trial, even a sloppy cut, was carelessly omitted by the Metropolitan, and Augustine said regretfully that he had not even drunk the wine of the poem, and that it was better not to be extorted more meaningless gold coins by our Miss Elizabeth. Cosmo has a real regular knight order for no reason, Clough, the old man, is harsh to outsiders and has no bottom line, but he is even more generous to his personal priest, this group of senior knights whose strength is vast majority above level 8 is not only expensive armor, bright spears, and war horses are in good spirits, but also loaded with a total of more than a dozen boxes of 1.2 million Caesar gold coins, golden, the wealth fan Lori Steward was overjoyed, jumped into the box and rolled wildly, and finally was thrown out by Augustine, who couldn't stand it, and the knights were collectively arranged in the originally empty third layer, Pan God Labyrinth, Augustine did not say anything, when the knights saw the huge and not the real [St. Urban] of the sculpture artwork, all took the initiative to kneel and bow to the knights, St. Urban, for the knights of the empire, has a special significance, it symbolizes the highest chivalry, only the pursuit of true justice, not to bend the knees to the power and wealth of the world, so the greatest heresy of the empire, like Prince Odis, before his death only made one request, and his severed head was hung on the statue of St. Urban's on the Edward's Chapel.
The first Kraft Knight is the only mature knight, handing over a letter to the new master, Augustine came to the study, opened it, was amused, or the familiar crooked font, if you can't understand the frequent grammatical errors, you don't want to read this letter, one of the top old men in the empire said in the letter that this is just a bet of losing 12 Bourbon silver coins, delivered in advance, the next batch has to wait until the next 12, but if he can't save it, he won't cut the meat, a knight doesn't want to cheat away, Augustine leaned back in a chair, the corners of his mouth curled, this is indeed the style of the old manAt the end of the letter, he asked a few questions of faith that had recently been confusing, and asked Augustine to take time to go to the city of Jupiter to baptize his precious grandson.
Augustine as the old man's personal priest and the godfather of Clough Jr., both are obligations, Augustine sat at the desk and wrote a reply, gently drying the ink, in a good mood, that is a real 120 high-ranking knights, and there are more than a dozen boxes of gold coins, of course, 1.2 million gold coins, for any big family other than the sissy Helen, it is still definitely not a small amount, the old Clough clearly pointed out in the letter that he lent it to a private priest in his private name and not to the cosmo, and the interest was a few points higher than a normal bank loan, Augustine read the whole letter, After making sure that Laclave "accidentally" forgot the definite time of repayment, he smiled slightly, if it wasn't for Elizabeth snatching a few boxes and saying that it was spread on the honey layer of her boudoir as a natural carpet, today would be perfect.
But Augustine quickly retracted the idea, because the barefoot Lori butler rushed into the study and screamed: "Lucky Augustine, this time the goddess of luck not only flattered you, but also gave you a child! The little girl laid eggs, only one, but not a little Nile white python, nor a little black mamba king snake, but a two-headed golden viper!
Augustine was stunned, the black mamba king snake and the Nile white python are both the 8th order on the pedigree of the golden subspecies, the level is very high, the species of this sequence are accurately recorded and there are twelve species in the world, the adjectives are undoubtedly a series of powerful, mysterious, for example, the little boy and the little girl are named "wurm", but the 9th order, there are only three, the two-headed golden viper is among them, and its evaluation is only a few numbers: mythical creatures, equivalent to dragons. Augustine, who rarely showed excitement on the surface, picked up Elizabeth and kissed her face fiercely, Lori happily shouted and kissed her lips and kissed her lips, and was slapped on the pink little buttocks by Augustine, and said with a smile: "Take me to see the eggs of the two-headed golden viper." Wait for it to hatch and then consider whether you will rub it with oil. ”
She didn't bother to care about this at this moment, just let the incomprehensible Augustine hold it, and came to the main hall on the 8th floor, which is the nest of the Nile white python laying eggs, for which Augustine specially opened up a transmission array directly to the Black Swan Lake, damp and dark, with a pungent fishy smell, but for the butcher who participated in and commanded the battle of Kepler's gallows, this little thing, really can't complain, it is already 15 meters long, at this time the slightly tired little girl curled up, protecting a golden-colored egg in the center, this egg that vibrates according to a fixed frequency requires adult hands to be around, the little girl at this stage is very alert and sensitiveNot long ago, even the little boy was bitten out of two huge blood grooves by it, but he was the only "little Lori" in the Muse Continent who had the courage and was qualified to challenge the uncrowned king of the Muses, Duke Black Maga Ram , it will be so tame and harmless, it has a good sense of closeness to Augustine, but if it is to face it alone, even Augustine is not sure if this little girl will be impatient and open her mouth to swallow him into her stomach as food, Elizabeth dislikes the pet is not generous enough, and gently kicked the snake tail, the little girl moved aggrievedly, and showed the egg completely in front of Augustine's eyes, Augustine squatted down, did not even dare to touch, his eyes were blank, and muttered: "This will be a little guy comparable to or even equal to a dragon!"
Lori said triumphantly: "Don't forget the dividends of the Maca fat pig, half of it belongs to me!"
Augustine was willing to pay for it this time, reluctantly retracted his gaze, took Lori's perennially cold little hand, got up and said, "Okay, let's not disturb the little girl's rest." ”
Lori stood only one head taller than the egg, patted the egg shell that seemed to be soft but comparable to the hardness of the dragon armor, and said affectionately: "Little guy, come out quickly, grandma will feed you the best food, and this irresponsible grandfather, see it, he will also take good care of you, hurry up and coquettish with him!"
Grandma?
Augustine pops up with a black line.
Lori is just about to catch up on sleep, which is the beauty secret introduced in her only favorite book, "Flowers and Blood". But Augustine led her away from the honey, but not up, but down, to the bottom, the "cemetery", Dimite is still in the tombstone mixed with the blood of the two cardinals of the Vantatican and the Holy See of Byzantio for the second holy hibernation, the next sleep, Augustine will definitely not be able to wait in this life, human beings are destined to be unable to compete with the immortal race in the years, this is just like the immortal species cannot fight against the sun, the fair scale, never tilted. Lori, who was still immersed in happiness and excitement, glanced at the scarlet tombstone and muttered: "The next time I sleep lazily, this guy can reach the True Ancestor level, such a monster, the Epic Continent is less than ten, and its luck is much better than yours." You're only lucky to have met me, aren't you, unfortunate poor bug Augustine?"
Augustine smiled and nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, yes." ”
Lori had to inch in: "Then you give me two-thirds of the dividends of the Maca fat pig?"
Augustine sent her to the door of the honey nest, pushed her in, and said categorically: "Don't think!"
Lori muttered a stingy word, stepping on the gold coins all over the ground and flying towards the baroque luxurious bed, and soon there was no movement, Augustine smiled and prepared to go upstairs, go to the study to calculate the current financial situation of the universe, this kind of thing is absolutely assured that it cannot be handed over to the butler who has a mess of computing power, so far Augustine still can't understand how this guy became the "blood queen" Elizabeth, although her biggest strength is to let the two ends of the subspecies at the 8th level of the [Wulong] at the beginning of birth This does not mean that her shamanism is second-rate, but the addition and subtraction arithmetic she shows in her daily life is really too flattering for Augustine. Augustine pondered this question for a long time, just walked to the Red Nest, which would be used as a heresy camp in the future, thought about it, returned to the honey, and walked gently into the boudoir, his little butler snored slightly, his hands and feet were wide open, and he was really asleep, Augustine sat at the head of the bed, looking around, except for the Caesar gold coins on the ground full of nouveau riche atmosphere, there was a dressing table, there were countless fat powder boxes, there were crystal shoes that were always bigger than her feet, and there was a large wine cabinet filled with all kinds of wine that she drank as water, all of which were pink in color, in line with the taste of aristocratic ladies, but in addition to these, there were more eye-catching scenes, large glass bottles containing terrifying test subjects, coupled with complex and dense metal experimental equipment, mountains of medicines and drawings, this is not a hobby that a little lady should have. Augustine withdrew his gaze, bent down, and kissed Lori's white forehead, which occupied Princess Mipeifen's body and soul.
Augustine walked back to the study, dipped his slender quill pen in ink, and wrote down the last words of the Duke's father before he went to the gallows, and let the woman who had more substantive power than the Grand Inquisitor in the original 100-member jury relay to him: I only have a pen in my hand, unlike my ancestors who were good at killing enemies on horseback, but this does not mean that I am not a descendant of dragon slayers. Little Augustine, and any one of his children and grandchildren who wears the obsidian badge, remember that a true warrior is a man who has a clear conscience. A veteran of the Rotonchilde family, immortal.
When Augustine finished writing this sentence, he suddenly grasped the quill pen, and did not even notice that it was broken.
One day, he, the son of a traitor whose full name has several older surnames besides Rotonchild, will return to the city of Augs and hang the thirteenth family portrait with his own hands, and establish a great Rothonchild!
Tell all the arrogant that the obsidian will never wither, no matter what kind of wind and rain it endures!
