Volume 1 The Dark Gold Puppet of the Empire Chapter 6 A Child
"Have you figured out how to structure your 'order'?" asked Elizabeth casually.
"The rough framework is definitely there, a thick stack of drafts. But the crux of the problem is that I don't have the ability to plump up the skeleton at all, I don't have a chess piece in my hand that can hold the table, even if I have this labyrinth for me, I can't use even one-tenth of its potential in a short period of time, according to my original setup, I should need 3 or 4 levels of prisons, the same number of research labs, respectively for the study of black magic, Red Gamma and puppetry, as well as a general department, plus two libraries that collect all kinds of heretical books, a colosseum, a confessional room, and the church of saints, I have two or three pages of detailed information for each item, and as for the general interrogation and supervision room, combat department, reserve department, inspection department, and permanent institutions such as the secretariat, theory department, intelligence room, and diplomatic bureau in the sacrament ministry, I don't want to be left behind, you may not know, I liked to play war games with a dead fat man when I was a child. Augustine smiled bitterly, "I don't need to hide it from you, there are three other organizations to focus on, one is the Strategic Reserve Room, one is the Garden of Eden, and the last one belongs to its own Knights." All of this was set on top of the ordinary Swan Lake Manor, and now it seems that if the underground labyrinth of Sinnegos is to be fully functional, at least the prison, the laboratory, and the Garden of Eden can be more than tripled. In this way, I will find that the ideal is not only far away, but also unattainable. ”
"Augustine, can I help you take charge of the prison in the future?" Elizabeth took the initiative to filter out the parts she wasn't interested in, her mind was full of cute pets running around in cages, and of course they were only cute in her eyes.
"You can't show your face in public. Augustine said resolutely, there is no room for bargaining, because she is one of the few hole cards in his hand that can save his life at a critical moment, although Elizabeth at this stage is still only a dormant young beast, but she is almost a fierce character with unlimited potential, not to mention that she has two small reptiles that can advance to the top of the biological chain, but unfortunately one does not know where she is hiding, Augustine does not know this "young lady" who is in the top ten on the blacklist of the Vatlantican Holy See from beginning to end The depth of strength is only vaguely certain that she only has a level 5 magician now, The comprehensive strength of the 4th level knight and the 4th stage arcanist and the intermediate gamma technique, if it is separated, she is only the top level of a lieutenant, which can be combined, if it is not an opponent who surpasses her by at least two orders of magnitude in a single field, it is impossible to kill her, Augustine himself is a grade certificate assessment maniac, during the time when he left the seminary and lurked in the night watch organization of the sacrament department, he obtained a large number of certificates, but unfortunately all of them are mediocre, but if they are exposed, they are enough to shock the world, and in the history of the empire, he has passed more than 9 main functions level 3 great generalists, less than double digits, and now Augustine is only 24 years old, and he has completed two-thirds of the bottom line of this featIf nothing else, he still has at least forty or fifty years to create miracles, but the problem is that there have been too many accidents in Augustine's short life in 24 years, and now there is a special gambling within the empire When will the young master Augustine evaporate a huge amount of money in the world*, three-fifths of the bets are on this new giant to die within half a year.
"Do you think I'm going to give you a chance to say no? I'm just politely throwing out my opinion, and as for whether you agree or not, it's harmless and insignificant. The corners of Elizabeth's mouth hooked up a standard aristocratic arc, full of aristocratic arrogance and vitriol.
Augustine had no choice but to deal with her, without the right bargaining chips, and without wanting her to bow her head and tame her, the Bourbon silver coin she handed out to buy Flowers and Blood had not been taken out of Augustine's pocket with a small gamma recipe.
Stepping into a "room" somewhere, Elizabeth let out a scream.
Where is this room, it is simply an empty square.
But this was not the most surprising thing, for above her and Augustine's heads was a huge hedrical arc of glass, smooth and transparent, a jaw-dropping oval.
So, they stood at the bottom of Black Swan Lake!
This is the most shocking scene after Augustine witnessed witch astrology in the astrological tower of Prince Otis and watched the sunrise for the first time at the monastery of Maideola.
"Augustine, it's mine. Elizabeth muttered to herself that her possessiveness was notoriously terrifying.
Augustine shook his head, looked up at the green landscape at the bottom of the lake, and said, "I promised Pandora a gift. ”
Elizabeth frowned, and for the first time she didn't dwell on it.
"Thank you. Augustine said softly.
"How many Caesars are worth thanks?" Elizabeth snorted, apparently not an easy concession this time out of Augustine's surprise.
"It's because it's not worth a few gold coins that it's worth cherishing. Augustine chuckled and rubbed Elizabeth's little head.
Elizabeth pursed her lips, but did not refute.
Augustine, who was only an ordinary priest in the official area, looked up at the lake that was as bright as an opal, and muttered: "There is a child, born in a world of dragons, magical princesses, and knights, and is lucky to have an elegant and profound father, a beautiful and wise mother, and an old butler who likes to carry him around his neck." His childhood was interesting, a witch who lived perhaps longer than his grandfather's grandfather taught him how to cross the threshold of magic, so his years were ordinary but not mediocre, he suffered a lot, but he was able to open his eyes to this strange city and country, and then he grew up, and welcomed the godfather who was like the sea and the mountains, he spent his youth in the monastery closest to God, and when he just felt that he could master a small part of this world, the beautiful witch teacher had left him, and he was silent in the esoteric magical world, the godfather gave up the patriarch's scepter, and his parents also chose to go to the guillotine with the family, that moment, the child knows that in this world, in addition to himself, he has things that he needs to do his best to protect. Originally, his greatest dream was to write a thousand-page travelogue of the world, to travel all continents, to walk like a troubadour in mountains, bazaars, churches, palaces and cemeteries, to noblewomen, knights, elves, heretics and commoners, and later, he had an ideal, that is, to have the most gold coins, to become the strongest knight or magician, to hold the most power, and finally, when the ideal metamorphosed into ambition, he also became a calm madman. ”
Elizabeth sighed softly, took Augustine's slightly cold hand, and said, "This is really not a wonderful story, so I'm sure you're not fit to be a bard." ”
She looked up, but instead of the depressed young face she expected, she saw a deep face as strong as a rock.
"There are no back-offs in Rotonchild. ”
The youngest nobleman in the eastern part of the empire subconsciously clenched his hand, which made Elizabeth's small hand, which was still very weak, feel painful, but she did not resist in the slightest, and her brows did not furrow, and the bloody and noble great shaman was finally able to understand why human women always showed a general weakness that puzzled other races, but could occasionally burst out with amazing energy.
Perhaps on the vast expanse of the territory, only the incomprehensible human male can show the greatest dignity that is incompatible with strength.
Elizabeth hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "I know you hate a lot of people, I just want to know this, do you hate that person?"
That person.
It seems that it should be the most unprovoked character of the Holy Empire, as if sitting in the sun.
Augustine said expressionlessly, "I am in awe of him. ”
It still doesn't sound like a real answer has been given.
Elizabeth laughed, and she even had the idea that she would definitely drive the entire wild continent crazy afterwards, or she might as well grow up quickly and be a human female nobleman.
