Volume 1: The Imperial Dark Gold Puppet Chapter 35 [St. Urban] and the Spoils of War
The two chapters are almost 10,000 words. οΌ
For the first time in human history, the young human who stood on the head of [God] finally opened his eyes, he was now a little higher than Miss Alice of the Greenspan family, and his pale face was not sickly in the bath of holy light, but had a saintly aura that did not resemble a human.
Hera, who chose [Family Loyalty], closed her eyes and felt the replenishment of the source of faith, just like putting her soul in a hot spring, warm and fulfilling. She found herself stepping into the threshold of the Great Knight. She finally knew why Augustine had suggested that she minor in Love in the first place, and if she had heeded this advice in the first place, she couldn't even imagine how advanced it would be.
Asa stood on the stairs and looked up at the young Augustine, this was the second time that Lolita had met after the auction of the orange of the law, the old man witnessed many big men gather at Greenspan's White Elephant Castle to plan the prologue to the war against Stang's Castle, and he was also responsible for bringing the white ivory chess pieces to help Miss Alice on the table, and witnessed the shock brought by [Skadi's Soul Elegy], which was originally with the "barbarians" The weather-beaten old man thought that it was the most brilliant performance of a young man, and at this moment, the old man with a similar temperament to the old Piping, the housekeeper of Rotonchild, no longer looked at St. Urban, which was decorated with the ancient Latin word "Libra", which was not a majestic existence that he could observe for a long time, and the old man turned his head to look at Miss Alice, whose eyes were full of pure light, and he also gave birth to a sense of pride, the daughter of the empire was flooded, but only the little master fell in love with the descendants of the empire's No. 2 traitor at a glance.
Miss Alice took it upon herself to extend Greenspan to [Order], which is also the first olive branch in the entire aristocratic world, but she is about to harvest a dark scepter!
Asa smiled comfortably, and took a few steps back, no longer blocking the view of the young lady and Lord Augustine.
Augustine looked condescendingly at the people in the Sheep's Horn Laboratory who were kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "I will now announce the first law of [Order], which will be assessed once a month, and those who rank last will be eliminated. You can go back to work, and hopefully you'll all be able to accomplish what I had in mind. β
Led by the three new "giants" Philip, Professor Shirley, and Assistant Professor Kim, the Sheephorn Lab is almost running back to the laboratory to carry out their respective projects, which will be a crazy race with the sword of Damorix hanging over their heads, and the losing side will most likely pay the price of becoming the test subject in the hands of the other two parties.
In addition to teaching basic lessons to the girls in the mage reserve, he is one of the lucky ones among the sheep who have the right to get out of the underground castle of Stango, and the rest of the members have not enjoyed the sun for too long, he is as fearful and humble as lying on the ground after the arrival of the [Holy Descent], waiting for Augustine to speak, he took the group of people who have already taken the [order] The girl who was regarded as a god by the leader returned to the class, and in the face of a group of children who were shocked to the point of losing their minds, Hall calmed the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and said solemnly: "Today's miracle will accompany all of us for a lifetime, you can imprint it in your soul, remember it in your mind, but you can't say it, that will be the biggest mistake and blasphemy that a human being can make, although we are already in the fourth largest organization of the Sacramental Ministry, it does not mean that we can not be devotional to the gods, Your Excellency the archon has let you witness this [Holy Descent] with your own eyes It is not his arrangement, it is the Lord's arrangement, it is the Lord's test for you, but also for my soul, we can one day betray the cosmo for the faith, betray the consuls for the great good, and even betray the empire, but we must not betray this baptism. β
The girls nodded vigorously, and their immature faces were stained with tears.
St. Urban, whose eyes had been closed, slowly retracted his holy wings and dark bat wings, wrapped his body, and almost occupied the entire concentric circle of space, standing on the spring of the earth, after being forcibly summoned from the hell of some abyssal plane, it seemed that it did not adapt to the new realm of the castle of Stango, and fell into the deepest contemplation.
Augustine, who had been dead for nine years, jumped from the top of St. Urban's head, and finally could take a bold breath, looked at the lady from the barbarian family with a calm expression, and smiled: "Can I take you to visit Black Swan Lake?"
Alice nodded happily and gave a noble salute.
When Augustine passed by Hera, he patted her on the buttocks and commanded softly: "Go to the knights and keep an eye on it, if anyone behaves abnormally and drags them directly into the sheep's horn laboratory, don't worry about miscalculation, although the universe is temporarily poor, the normal wear and tear of one or two low-level knights is still completely within the bearable range." β
Hera blushed slightly, and she finally came back to her senses from the afterglow of great shock.
Following Greenspan's two uninvited guests and Augustine out of the ground, Hera, who had returned to the peak of her time in the Saxon Forest, walked to the Knights' station, where she was now able to control a cannon fodder Knights. In the voluminous official documents that record the glorious deeds of the Holy Knight, there is a rare record of a Holy Coffin Knight slaughtering a 600-person elite knight, but the Holy Coffin Knight also paid the price of his life, which has almost become the only apex benchmark for the official judgment of a Holy Coffin Knight's strength, the first level of the Great Knight is 10, the Central Knight is 16, and the Holy Coffin Knight is the unattainable 20, who is the "Hand of God" between the magician and the knight The ancient dispute has lasted for nearly a thousand years, and it has been proved that within the same level 10, the two sides do not rely on equipment above the aria level, and the knight will have an absolute advantage, but between level 10 and level 20, the magician has changed the decline and has a very high winning rate, and the "holy war" between the top knight and the magician after level 20 is full of unknown variables, no knight in the holy coffin claims to be invincible in the world, and no great magician who can get out of the Mayan temple dares to openly threaten that the high-level knight is just a servant of high-level magic.
Asa stopped following Miss Alice and Master Augustine after he walked out of the castle of Stangza, he did not think that anyone under the nose of the White Elephant Castle had the courage to have ill intentions towards the Flower of Greenspan, and besides, the young magnate of the Sacrament Church also showed too much strength beyond comprehension, and the old butler did not disturb the warm tryst of a couple, which old man did not come from the youth step by step?
Alice walked over to the Black Swan Lake and sat down, while Augustine stood beside her.
"I, Alice Greenspan, am not visiting Castle of Stonergo today as Greenspan's heiress, but I just want to meet the magician introduced to me by Aunt Quentin, and wonder if he would be interested in spending one day a week at the castle of the White Elephant, not far away, to teach some magic to an unintelligent woman. Alice smiled.
"Miss Alice, take the liberty of saying from your heart, your vision is much better than your family. Augustine sat down after hearing Alice's explanation, took a small piece of grass in his mouth, and chewed it carefully.
"I think so too, that a woman's intuition is certainly more correct than the judgment made by the simple mind of a savage. Miss Alice, who was a little apprehensive, breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Augustine's straightforward words, and her mood became more and more cheerful, thinking of the scene when she glared at him when the two met for the first time, and the corners of Alice's mouth couldn't help but be full of charming smiles from the heart.
Hearing Miss Alice's words, I'm afraid that the barbarian Greenspan will be so angry that he will slap the table and smash the porcelain vase. Augustine did not expect this woman who had a reserved first impression to be so hearty, and in an aristocratic world with comedy and clowns but by no means naΓ―ve, elegant self-deprecation often requires the thickness of capital and the depth of thought.
"Well, you see the two of us still have a common language, which is a good start. Miss Alice blinked.
Such a delicate little face, such a beautiful opal necklace, and a so white and tender deep-seated chest.
This is Augustine's biggest impression after a chance glance at Alice's front.
And, of course, there are a pair of royal blue eyes that shine brighter than opal, shining with the brilliance of wisdom, a light that belongs to a well-bred intelligent woman, and makes Augustine nostalgic for the two women who had the greatest influence on him in his childhood, his mother and his teacher Artemis.
Augustine fell to the grass and squinted his eyes at the sun-drenched sky where the dark clouds had dispersed.
"Your Excellency, you should continue to sink deep after you have summoned that god, so that I will always be in awe and worship you. Miss Alice chuckled, turned her head and stared at Young Master Augustine, who did not look like an ordinary nobleman, he was the godson of the saints, the master of the obsidian in the eastern part of the empire, and now he was a big man in the sacramental department of the Inquisition after the three giants, but he was lying on the grass without majesty and arrogance, biting a small grass, no different from the mediocre young nobles of the county. But such Augustine is extraordinarily flesh and blood, and he is no longer the illusory man who stands on the gods.
"I'm afraid I'll scare you away. Augustine smiled, enjoying the sun.
"Are you afraid?" asked Miss Alice softly, expectantly.
"You're the first guest of Black Swan Lake, of course I'm afraid. Augustine said softly.
Alice sighed softly, both relieved and disappointed that her young peer didn't go with the flow and give aristocratic rhetoric.
"I'm more afraid that Miss Alice will see me as a beast in the eyes of the nobles of the imperial capital, and believe the rumors, what Young Master Augustine can walk and spoil Prince Otis's daughter at that moment, what Archpriest Augustine is the culprit who killed the godfather Iyeta, what Count Augustine has to recruit prostitutes from the city of Tamelang every night in the monastery of Maidaiola, and refuses to spend a copper plate afterwards. Augustine opened his eyes and smiled at the young woman who stared at him, she was different from Hera Bolsefleur, the daughter of Zeus was occasionally shy even after Augustine's teasing, and after a moment of relaxation, she was also solemn in her eyes and a heavy state of mind, but Alice was different, she was a delicate flower in a greenhouse, even if she looked at the flood outside, she could not destroy her in the slightest, as long as the barbarians did not fall, she could live happily and peacefully, such female characters, in Augustine's life, are very rareγ
"I don't believe in the malicious slander that arises for the sake of gimmicks, so I'd rather stay at the White Elephant Castle than attend the banquets and balls held in the imperial capital. Alice laughed, squatted down, and learned from Augustine to pluck a blade of grass, but because of the most basic reserve, she did not put it in her mouth.
"I love the city of Jupit, and I like the red, red, green, and green all the disturbing dinners, because I like to wear masks, and watch a group of people all wearing colorful masks, talking together about wonderful praises, and sensual sycophants, chatting about superficial and hypocritical teachings, and a group of clowns jumping up and down happily and calculatingly, and so funny. β
Augustine lamented, "It's a pity that Jupiter doesn't like me. β
"Very quirky fetishes. Alice was puzzled, playing with the blade of grass, and wondering why a man from a noble background could bite the roots of the grass like a bard, and still be able to relish.
"You are a little lovely person who is held in the palm of the hand by a barbarian, and if you don't really go out, you won't understand our man's world. Augustine smiled.
"I understand!" retorted Alice.
"You don't understand. Augustine chuckled.
Alice was discouraged, she really couldn't stand up for herself in front of him.
"It's okay if you don't understand, when you get to know me, it's equivalent to taking the first step, like this. Augustine pulled the blade of grass from Alice's hand and gently placed it between her lips.
Alice's cheeks crimson chimed into the blades of grass, and her body stiffened.
"If you have a chance, I'll take you to see the other side of this world. Augustine sat up and looked up close at the bewildered Greenspan family.
Asa stood peacefully in the distance, looking at the two young men who were harmonious, the lines of the old man's old-fashioned and serious face softened a little, and after a long time, he finally saw Miss Alice standing up with the corner of her skirt and walking towards him, the old butler bent down slightly, and asked softly, "Miss, has the consul agreed to be your personal magician?"
"I didn't ask. Alice shook her head, but she was satisfied with today's gain.
"It doesn't matter, no young magician can refuse to be Miss Alice's personal magician. The old butler smiled, and found that the young lady was holding a blade of grass in her hand, and there were traces of chewing, which surprised the old man.
Walking towards the carriage on the edge of the Black Swan Lake Manor, the old butler turned his head to find that Miss Alice had actually put a blade of grass in her mouth, which was comparable to seeing the true face of [St. Urban]. Alice smiled and said, "Asa, isn't it unladylike?"
The old butler shook his head.
Miss Alice then made an exaggerated remark that made the old man laugh, "He says that sometimes we should cross our backs and scold and go to his-aristocratic manners." β
Alice crossed her waist, holding the grass in her mouth, and her face was sunny.
ββββββββ-
Augustine quietly returned to the bottom of the unrecognizable state, and the 49 shamans in the soul state in the [Sacrifice] were devoured by the Nile White Python and the Black Mamba King Snake, which was also an alternative relief for the soul that was originally to be imprisoned in the shamanic magic array forever, and any magic array is tirelessly pursuing two words, balance, and losing the [sacrifice] supported by the 16 shamanic souls Crumbling, in the end it is barely able to maintain a subtle stability, Elizabeth's two golden subspecies pets in several battles suffered losses in one breath to make up, there is surplus, the most direct manifestation is that the two pets can no longer maintain a small form, two huge creatures with a length of more than fifteen meters coiled around the bottom corner, the happy Lori housekeeper at the bottom with his head up and laughing wildly, the two "small" pets sticking out their tongues affectionately, their huge heads bent down, and gently rubbing their owners.
Augustine walked down the stairs, 12 The Zodiac Palace has been completely destroyed after the activation of the magic array, [St. Urban] even surpasses angels and demons in the gold species, almost gods, although the main temple does not have the position of St. Urban, but no one dares to deny its divine authority as the executor of [Divine Punishment], but St. Urban's is not only one, in the process of summoning Augustine learned that there are a total of seven, just to judge the seven deadly sins defined in the Bible, this is the [God's left eye] Pulled out of the hell of Tartaros, Urban's duty is "arrogant".
"Have you signed a master-servant contract?" said Elizabeth.
"No human being can bear the Grace of St. Urban. It only came into the world, like a bystander, and under normal circumstances could not leave the spring of the castle of Synarch, and the Bible says: God says, I and Satan exist among you, but never appear. It's very rigorous, and it seems to be a world that doesn't allow gods and demons to easily upset the balance. Augustine shook his head, he had no regrets about surviving and winning a protector for the cosmo, and Timmett had also benefited a lot, 4 of the 14 steles had been destroyed, and Demeter had already walked into the stele mixed with the blood of the Son, and fell asleep again, before entering the stele, the king of the Lecch or the blood clan passed a message to Augustine through Urban, each stele was the most suitable burial ground for the immortals.
Augustine looked at the Demeter in the Blood Tablet and muttered, "Maybe I can carve this place out as a habitat for the Dark Monarchs, and the remaining nine pieces means that I have nine bargaining chips to negotiate with the Marquis-level Lecch, and I would like to know who else can pose a threat to [Order] at that time." β
"Where do you go to find so many dark nobles of the underground dynasty, the Vat Trantican has always been harsher with Lecch than with Byzanti. The great nobles of the Holy Empire occasionally turn to them to solve the problems under the table, and they are also as hidden as possible, and I only know that Marceau County Province lives with an earl of the Marshall family, and it is also a sworn enemy of the Setus family. Elizabeth sneered.
"Rival, then, the gray income of the entire province of Marceau, which is not the legitimate property of the nobility and the Holy See, will be my private wealth. β
Augustine laughed, "I'm certainly not a benevolent consul. It is estimated that soon the entire Marceau County Provincial Noble Lord will be scolding in private, this damn sacramental ministry is a miscellaneous. β
