68. Inflated Yuri
Many people seek great power, but Augustine did not think so, because he understood that there was a terrible price to be paid for more power than he could bear. Now he is suffering like this.
You can't move anywhere in your body except your eyes and tongue. And the whole body is sour and numb, as if there are countless ants gnawing between the flesh and skin. The flesh on his chest was red from the towel, and he still felt uncomfortable.
"The big hero of Ashfurnace Village has now become a big bear. Leah's slender fingers held a piece of clean linen, wrung out the water, and gently wiped it on his body. The wide, light robe covered Leah's slightly bloated body, and she was about to give birth.
Just experienced a fire, and now everyone is busy, and the task of taking care of Augustine has been taken over by Leah.
Leah's slightly puffy eyes looked much softer than usual, and Augustine sighed, "I'm sorry, no one thought it would turn out like this. ”
Instantly, Leah's tears fell with a pop, "I feel sad to imagine that the little one is born and will become a homeless child. ”
"No, how could she, how could she be a homeless child. Augustine hesitated, but seemed to have suddenly made up his mind, "She can make the monastery her home, the monastery of Hippo." ”
"No, no one is going to the monastery, no one is going. Leah reached out and wiped the tears from her face, her fair face revealing unusual tenderness, "This is my child, even if it lives in a tree hole, it is my child." ”
Augustine was suddenly a little obsessed, speaking of which, Leah was very beautiful, with blue eyes as if she could speak, a charming white face like a bright moon, a long body, and a soft and loud voice. Of course, such a woman is not as proud as those noble princesses in Hippo, but she is attracted by the spirit of not admitting defeat in her. I don't know when, I fell into it deeply and couldn't extricate myself.
With a bang, Rommel panted and pushed open the wooden door and rushed in, he saw the tears on Leah's face and Augustine's open chest and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I didn't come at the right time!"
"Come back, bastard boy. Augustine lay on the bed with a violent cough, "Hurry up if there's something, your Aunt Leah just thought of the baby's clothes that were burned." "The level of lying of the Arians Academy Elder is top-notch, and there is hardly anything unusual on his face.
Leah stretched her long skirt straight, which was not wrinkled, snorted softly through her nose, and then sat down upright.
"Oh no, no, Lord Augustine, His Highness Merlin's manuscript is missing. Rommel said.
"What, what did you say?" cried Augustine, his eyes rolling in a hurry, but unfortunately he didn't even have the strength to get up from the bed at this time, and this was the consequence of using the power of the god of war. "His Highness Merlin's manuscript is in a very good place, and it is absolutely impossible for last night's fire to reach it. ”
"Of course, it's a wonderful place, and if someone hadn't seen you put the manuscript there, no one else would have been able to find it. Father Yuri walked into the stone house where Augustine rested, as he normally did when he stepped into the church. He carried an old, wooden box in his hand.
As soon as he saw the box, Augustine's tongue was about to be knotted, and he closed his eyes in agony. The elders of the Arius Academy had their chests fluttering together, "That's what Lord St. Thomas wants, do you know what that means?"
"Of course, this is a very important thing!" Yuri proudly opened the box and took out the papyrus manuscript from inside, "Tut-tut, it's really a good thing, you can actually find such a large roll of papyrus, I heard that this thing is more expensive than gold, only the ancient Egyptians knew the process of making it, and such a large piece of papyrus can almost be exchanged for a gold coin." ”
Leah helped Augustine to his feet, and she gently soothed the anger of the Ashfurnace hero with her hand.
"You know, this papyrus alone is worth fifty thousand gold coins. ”
"Tut-tut, scaring an honest countryman is not what an elder should do. Yuri's eyes were full of greed, and he opened the manuscript with joy, and the greed in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and he became extremely shocked, as if he had seen something extremely incredible.
Yuri held the manuscript in both hands and opened it carefully, "This is impossible, how can there be such beautiful handwriting under the starry sky, this cannot be written by mortals, this can only be a miracle." ”
Augustine did not seem at all surprised by this, "St. Thomas also thinks so, that it must be a miracle that no one has been able to write such a beautiful manuscript since the Holy Father began to preach under the stars." Right?"
"Yes, it's a miracle. Yuri closed the manuscript, "Such a manuscript cannot be owned by a mortal like me, you can rest assured, when Lord St. Thomas comes to the Ashfurnace Village, Yuri will personally hand over the manuscript to Lord St. Thomas." ”
Augustine didn't speak again, and Yuri had taken him like air. If it was an Arian elder who could stand, speak, run, and beat, the priests of the church would not dare to do so. But now Augustine is equal to one out of ten wastes.
This is the price of the possession of the god of war.
Yuri came to Augustine to show off, and then left triumphantly with his booty. Although he could only admire the manuscript for a while, it was already a victory for the church. As the Pope's personal decree against the pagans of the Arian School, after Master Thomas became a holy knight, it was already a dead letter.
No cardinal of that diocese would dare to risk offending a holy knight and truly carry out the orders of His Holiness the Pope. In the history of the Pope, those who identify as infidels have not escaped burning at the stake, with the exception of the Arians.
They have their own monasteries, their own parishes. Have their own elders. And their own Holy Knights.
The world is so ridiculous that pagans who are recognized by the church can bargain with the pagan elders in harmony. Decide on the ownership of a manuscript. If Merlin were here, he would be depressed to death. This is my manuscript, have you ever considered your feelings?
Ants don't need to be considered.
