This is the second time that Augustine and Queen Goscher have come face to face at close range, and after he pushed the door in, the chief secretary of state has already gotten up, this kind of treatment, there is only His Majesty the Emperor in the huge empire, but Augustine obviously does not know about this, and he will not be grateful to Dade if he knows. His eyes didn't pay attention to the Raphael Holy Armor placed in the corner, which was only a line of craftsmanship of the Titan War Symbol [Odin's Great Armor], nor did he bet on the bookshelf behind her, Augustine looked at the most powerful woman in the empire without any emotion. The corners of Queen Goschel's mouth twitched, and she didn't sit down, both of them stood, purely in terms of height, the two were roughly equal, but in terms of identity, I'm afraid that only when Augustine really stood shoulder to shoulder with the three giants of the Sacrament Ministry, could he be on an equal footing with the leader of the Church of the Church. If the new tycoon of the Tribunal were to write a list of the people he hated the most, then the chief secretary of state, who surpassed him in status and status, would definitely be in the top three, and the two imperial wonders who were not very famous would just stand and look at each other.

The Empire's first female Secretary of State was the first to break the silence, "I'm sorry that I can't entertain Your Excellency the Archon with black tea. ”

Augustine said calmly contrary to common sense: "If there is an opportunity to entertain His Royal Highness the Secretary of State in the Sacramental Ministry, I will personally make you a cup of black tea." ”

Queen Goschel smiled, "I'm looking forward to it." ”

Augustine stopped talking. Quietly wait for her to unveil the prelude to the storm. She and he are both characters of the same personality and will not easily unveil the plaque at the table until the fruits of victory are sure to be decided. Therefore, the two crises of the seedling order were won by the young masters of the Château de la Poetry, not by the two menacing guests who were favored by the grizzly bears. Only this time, Augustine was at an absolute disadvantage with a slim chance of winning. Queen Goschel finally sat down, clasped her cheeks in her hands, and said softly, "His Majesty the Emperor has just discussed the cross-generational reform brought about by a certain topic with several Imperial Legion Captains who rushed to the palace chamber. And Your Excellency the Consul, you are at the heart of this topic. ”

The core character, but she is excluded, and her subtext is easy to understand. His Majesty's trust in the Emperor appears to be very limited. Augustine sneered, are you playing a game of cat and mouse and then slowly teasing?But the queen doesn't seem to have the more favorite fetish of this ordinary nobleman, and straightforwardly opened the mystery that puzzled Augustine for a long time, and said in a characteristic cold voice: " Your Excellency, you have demonstrated the ability to teleport in front of Marquis Todd at Lauder Castle, I have consulted a lot of confidential information through the Imperial Magic Guild, this skill that can barely be classified as a magic circle is only theoretically possible, with the knowledge of the Archon, I believe it is named by some dark magic fragment literature' The Demigods Descend', so I joined some of the generals to elaborate to His Majesty the Emperor on the far-reaching significance of the war if such an advent could be enlarged, and the result of the discussion between His Majesty and the generals was that even if only fifty men could descend at a time at a time, the maximum interval would be set at a quarter of an hour, which would have a decisive impact on a battle of 10,000 people. ”

Augustine had to take a deep breath to relieve the rapid irritability in his heart, it turned out to be this abominable loophole, the reason why he never imagined the amazing turn of the war brought by the pulse point and the advent was because the pulse point was probably the one with the most voice in the world She clearly said that there is a double upper limit of energy and direction to transmit through two pulse points, simply put, there is no possibility of transmitting dozens of people at one time, and the ultra-long-distance arrival of a single body, such as the kind of "miracle" that spans half of the epic continent , which only a powerful magician like a demigod can do, and Augustine has doubts about the existence of such demigods. But would fanatical generals believe such a disappointing explanation? Far from a pacifist, the emperor who single-handedly built the meat grinder of the Saxon forest in order to train elite knights to compete with the Titans, would His Majesty the Emperor, who had been tirelessly pursuing the key to victory in war all these years, believe it?

Seeing the deliberately suppressed and hidden look of the young consul, Queen Goschel did not reveal the gloating that a victor should have, but said slowly: "I have consulted with scholars including St. Jerome and Abbot St. Carol about the coming, and today I have just given a vague truth that makes the generals very disappointed. ”

Augustine began to wonder what the enemy was doing on the table, and that a larger conspiracy was brewing behind the smile, otherwise it would not have been a courtship or a show of weakness to him. The chief secretary of state suddenly pointed to a book of poems on the table, "The Blind Man's Eye", a modest epic nicknamed "Homer" by the province of Richelieu. The queen said lightly: "Augustine, believe it or not, I don't want to prove anything through some dishonorable means, these things, maybe Windsor and Rotonchild are very good at it, but I will not do it." I invite you to the Senate today, not to show off to you the power of me or the Senate, but to pay homage to the enemies who possess a great knight. However, if I have the opportunity next time, I will certainly not hesitate to personally ask to be the head of the Grand Inquisition and launch a lengthy questioning of you. ”

Augustine, who stood not far from Queen Goscher with a javelin, smiled: "I am very touched by the spirit of fairness of the Secretary of State, it seems that the next time I invite you to the sacramental ministry, I will not only have to hand you a cup of black tea, but also have to question you separately and face to face in bed." ”

The Secretary of State was stunned.

Augustine turned away and walked to the door, "I personally like the Secretary of State's taste, wearing a pair of dragon glasses that will never be imitated, and a little homemade white rose perfume with just the right top, middle and bottom notes. Chatting in bed with such an older sister must be poetic. ”

Queen Goschel, who was actually "molested" by a man in front of her, was not angry or surprised, but just laughed it off and said softly: "Don't send it." Also, I hope you don't bring a Lecch retinue into the Senate next time. Even if it was a prince, the Senate had enough power to drag it into the sun. ”

Augustine chuckled out of the room, out of the resciate's hall, and in the square, waving goodbye to a woman standing at the window. She smiled slightly wryly as she sat back down, and she held her cheek with one hand, and at the end of the second volume of "The Blind Man's Eye" spread out on her desk, she said to herself: "Old Don Quixote, is this what you call the young master Augustine full of aristocratic spirit? Oh, in a way, it is quite similar, it is quite 'funny', and quite 'gentle'. ”

She returned to her heavy duties.

"Sister?"

The queen broke the quill pen that was about to sign a certain document with one hand.

As soon as he walked out of the Faculty of Governors, he saw two familiar fellows he hadn't seen for years, a blonde young man with an unusually handsome face and no badge on his body, and a curly-haired peer in a rare mage robe. It's just that when the distance is less than a meter, the three of them almost stretched out their fists and thighs at the same time, and there was a burst of brutal punches and kicks to each other, but it was a pity that Augustine, who was obviously sprinting frantically towards the all-professional master, took advantage of it, and the blonde young man who could make the celebrities scream with just one face was beaten to the point that he almost fell down, and the magician-looking young man also held his aching chest and bent over to gasp, carefully clamping his thighs to protect the important parts, he scolded Augustine for being a bullshit aristocrat who did not pay attention to etiquette, and even did not let go of the crotch, and the three of them finally joined hands and wrapped them shoulder to shoulder, laughing uncontrollably, obviously, these two young men didn't care about the plague status of Young Master Augustine, the public enemy of the imperial capital, and yes, who made the two of them one is the heir of the Pompey family, the number one playboy in Jupiter City who can escape even walking through Caesar's Gate of Honor, Young Master Nero, and the other is the abbot of the Abbey of Maideola after the death of Saint Ietta, the only student of the old man, York who studied in the torch.

The three of them had a terrifying friendship with the Thamerang Danube in the sky, copying scriptures day and night, and secretly visiting the Danube in Tamerang, everyone knew that there was the most plump and bewitching girl in the empire on the Danube, and the nobles who had never been there to taste the taste of women in Tamerang would be kindly persuaded by the returning nobles not to be stingy with the Caesar gold coins in their pockets, it was a paradise for men, especially nobles who were not short of money! York, a young wizard who had been abducted by two nobles and deceived into a Danube boat, would complain softly about how the shameless Nero told him how much he needed guidance when there was a girl who longed for a pure land of the soul, and how the treacherous Augustine deliberately blocked the sign at the door, "Six gold coins for a wonderful night", but fortunately he only talked to the girl for a night about the Eucharist and the Doctrine of Sardinia and succeeded in convincing her to anonymously donate ten silver coins to the church every year, but fortunately, York inevitably had a little bit of a faint loss, and who would have known if he had learned more about the young lady dressed as a nun that night?

The blonde Young Master Nero glanced at the gate of the Senate and asked with a smile, "Why, Augustine, to visit the most seductive woman in the Empire?" ”

Augustine snorted: "The next time I meet her, I will help you convey this compliment word for word." ”

Nero rolled his eyes.

York complained: "The rules of the torch are too harsh, and I need to go through six or seven approvals at a time. And when Gyaka Miao went out shopping, she didn't hear who she needed a nod. ”

Augustine put his arm around his shoulders, walked over to Master Nero's carriage, which was one or two levels more luxurious than Miss Oiwa, and comforted, "York, you are a Brother of Maidaiola, and you must be able to tolerate some worldly bad habits. ”

York rolled his eyes as well. All the "bad habits" on his body were learned from these two noble young masters.

"To my house?" asked Nero after getting into the carriage.

"To the Antlers Tavern in Jonathan's district, I made an appointment with Octavian in Clough to go for a drink. Augustine laughed.

"Drink, the professor in the torch will definitely ask me to write a review of a few thousand words!" said York, with a bitter face, and although the consequences were serious, he did not refuse the offer in his words.

"York, you're a student of Dean Dyora, don't you have the confidence to make mistakes? Didn't the Dean tell you that young people have to make more mistakes in order to have good memories of old age?" Augustine slapped York on the head.

York, who hurriedly straightened his hair, said aggrievedly: "I haven't said it." ”

Augustine kindly said, "It must be that the dean has forgotten, and Nero and I have heard this admonition in Maideola. ”

Nero immediately chimed in: "Yes, I heard it more than once when I sat next to the dean in the workshop and copied the scriptures!"

York sighed and looked at the faces of the two friends, how sincere and sincere they were, and only then did they half-believe it.

Naïve poor York.

Outside the most attractive Antlers tavern in Jonathan's district, there are all kinds of carriages parked from far and near, and there is no shortage of cars with amazing insignia of famous families, and the carriage of the Clough family will be very outstanding no matter when and where, and follow the same principle as Augustine's so-called world, the more prominent the car, the more prominent the car, the most conspicuous place outside the tavern will be placed in the most conspicuous position outside the tavern by the successful tavern that knows the rules of business, and it just so happens that the carriage of the Pompey family of Master Nero was arranged next to Clough, both families, both of which have the most incomprehensible manic blood of the empire, full of neuroticism that ordinary families cannot understandOtherwise, the Duke of Pompey would not have let his beautiful son, who was only twelve years old, go to the Saxon forest to witness the front-line battle, and let the boy personally go to the execution table and swing his sword to cut off the heads of prisoners of war.

The tavern has three floors, but except for a few secret rooms, the seats will not be defined according to their status, because the aristocratic gentlemen and wealthy merchants who can come here to consume are not short of money, and no one wants to drink a drink will feel dwarf, and the tavern will entertain some court literati and bards for free, especially some informal ladies and ladies, and the antlers are not stingy with the most delicious afternoon tea pastries, so the business of the antlers has been booming, and you need to book a place to sit down and spend a comfortable afternoon or dusk. What's more, not far from the antlers, is Begonia Street, which is the richest night program in the empire, not only rich men can find all kinds of pastimes there, but also women, they can also find the corresponding special services that satisfy, they can choose naked handsome men through the small holes in the wall behind the scenes, and the owner in the name of the noble lady's salon will screen the age, appearance, and even nationality of the man completely according to their requirements, and after paying a certain amount of gold, if they are shy, or worried about the leakage of their identity, they can wear a variety of goddess masks carefully created by the master, and start a naked exchange with the man on the comfortable bed, their husbandObviously, they don't have the strength to make their legs weak, so they can often get a reward equivalent to the gold coins, and they are willing to linger and squander the gold coins.

Octavian's purpose in coming to the antlers was simple, to drink, and there was the richest wine cellar in the imperial capital, which could be drunk as long as the name was called.

The Great Dragonlancer didn't have a good impression of Nero, who liked to play the piano and seduce celebrities, but for the sake of little Augustine's face, he didn't slap the table and chase people away, but just watched this playboy with a mixed reputation in aristocratic circles drink a whole bottle of Soviet spirits, and was able to shout another bottle without curling his tongue, Octavian thought that this guy was good, at least a qualified drinking friend, as for the curly-haired young man, he was much inferior, and he blushed after only a glass of antlers' most girlish mimosa, and little Augustine, as he had done several times before, drank not much each time, but he was always able to accompany him to drink until he had a good time。

Soon York was dazed and dozing on the table.

Young Master Nero, on the other hand, leaned by the window with great interest to look at the maid in the antlers as touching as good wine.

Octavian looked at the sober Augustine and asked softly, "Little Augustine, the Secretary of State is not difficult for you, is he?"

Augustine shook his head and said, "No." Instead, like a goddess holding a fair scale. If possible, I wouldn't mind nailing her in front of a tripod and inviting her over for a drink. ”

Octavian grinned, "Then don't forget to call me for a drink." ”

Augustine laughed, "As long as you don't worry about being punished by the Lady of Richmond for standing all day when you return home, and being ordered to copy the knightly virtues a hundred times." ”

Octavian had a bitter face, and when he encountered a headache, he would habitually wipe his beard and sigh heavily, and his heart palpitated. But soon the optimistic knight regained his smile and said: "Originally, my wife hated me for coming to the antlers, but after hearing that I had you as my companion today, I not only agreed, but also specially gave me a big bag of Caesar gold coins, saying that it doesn't matter if I go home later." It can be seen that she is very satisfied with you, the godfather of little Clough. Little Augustine, I knew that you were my gospel, and that you should go into battle with me, chop off the heads of your enemies, break their spears, and win all the knightly badges together!"

Augustine was also a little strange about Mrs. Richmond's transformation, and the last time he entered the Clough House, he could still keenly sense her well-hidden hostility. Faced with Octavian's unpleasant invitation, he shook his head and said, "Our battlefield is different. ”

Octavian opened his throat and said, "How could it be different, I knew a long time ago that you were the butcher of the Night's Watch! Kepler's gallows, how many heads of heretics did you wring, forty, fifty, or a hundred, little Augustine, you would have been the successor of Earl Wilde, the Swordmaster!"

Augustine slammed his fist into the head of the Great Dragonlancer, "Whisper to me." ”

Octavian shut up in anguish, with a pitiful expression that was grossly inconsistent with his identity and personality.

Nero, who had been tilting his head, smiled strangely.

Augustine smiled, "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's drink all your bags of gold coins first." ”

As soon as he heard this, Octavian immediately stopped being depressed. There are some troubles, just think about it, he won't think too much, for example, he has always been worried about how to unscrew the head of Prince William of the Titan, but he has never been able to do it all these years, and even almost died in the land of the Titan a few times, but he can still drink and drink very happily.

So he was very fond of Augustine, the little one, who could kill and kill more than him, who could drink, and who always drank more than him. The most remarkable thing is that this young man always lived well, walked up to Kepler alive, walked out alive, came to the imperial capital alive, left alive, and then walked around the Senate again today, looking at the posture, he was very handsome with the unscrupulous prostitute who prostituted His Excellency the Chief Secretary of State and did not give money, which was even more powerful than the head of the Titan Knight on his spear. Octavian began to subconsciously touch the only sloppy beard that had not been shaved off against his wife's wishes, and was a little conflicted and glad: Lao Tzu is fortunate not to be a girl, otherwise he would definitely like this little guy.
