In the corner of the palace, in a small room in the middle of nowhere.

Augustine glanced at his surroundings with satisfaction, then closed the door and locked it contentedly.

Since the lock was already a little rusty, Augustin's voice was particularly harsh when he locked it, and Noah felt his heart beat a little faster.

Augustine lit a small oil lamp at random, and the yellow light spread through the room, making it look deep and heavy.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Noah asked.

Although Noah has behaved as naturally as possible, he has to admit that his body is stiff at this moment, and Noah is obviously quite nervous.

"What did you just want to do with the king?" Augustine glanced at Noah with a smile, and although his tone was gentle, it still made Noah feel a clear sense of oppression.

Noah took a deep breath, then looked into Augustine's eyes, and said, "I want to ask him: Did you make a deal with the demon?" ”

"You're speaking directly this time, but it's not like you?" Augustine glanced at Noah sharply, then casually flicked his gloves and asked with interest, "If his answer is yes, what are you going to do?" ”

Without waiting for Noah to answer, Augustine's face suddenly changed. He rushed directly to Noah, grabbed his collar, and suddenly showed a cold face: "You can't do anything!" Nothing can be changed! We can only dwell on the sins of the king, waiting for destruction! Speaking of this, Augustine couldn't help but increase the strength of his hands, almost tearing Noah out of breath.

Noah was really taken aback, and he subconsciously stabbed Augustin with the dagger he was carrying, only then did he break free of Augustin's hand and cough in pain.

Augustine didn't do anything to Noah again, just stood in place and watched him silently. When Noah finally recovered a little, the expression on Augustine's face changed slightly, and the dark red blood dripped down his leather gloves, accumulating on the ground to form a large red patch, it seemed that he should have been stabbed when Noah was struggling just now.

"Why don't you bandage your wounds?" Noah said in shock, at this time, his breathing was still rapid.

"No, I don't."

Augustine stared blankly at Noah, then ripped off the glove on his left hand. The wound was healing rapidly, and there was a black triangular seal on the back of his hand, which looked quite shocking in the dim light, and Noah felt a chill that made people feel eerie!

Noah's heart beat faster: "Do you admit this?" Noah had already understood what was happening, and it turned out that the truth was really the same as he had guessed, and Augustine was really not an ordinary person!

But at this time, Noah was still not sure whether Augustine was a demon or not, after all, his appearance was too far from the demon in Noah's impression, and he looked like a human being!

Augustine saw through the doubts and panic in Noah's heart at a glance. He lazily stroked his hair and said slowly, "You guessed right, I'm the devil." It's just that I'm a humanoid demon, so I look like a human, and don't compare me to those low-level guys. ”

Hearing Augustine admit his identity in person, Noah sweated nervously on his forehead. Although there had been speculations for a long time, Noah was still shocked the moment he knew the truth. His Adam's apple squirmed, and he said as calmly as he could, "So you called me here, what do you want to do?" ”

"I told that kid before, you guy has a lot of eyes, keep you, our relationship will be exposed sooner or later, it's better to get rid of you as soon as possible. But I don't know what he thinks, he even keeps you until now. As it stands, I guessed right. So you say, what should I do with you now so that I don't expose my relationship with the king? As he spoke, a cold light flashed in Augustine's eyes, and he did not hide his killing intent.

Noah was stunned for a moment, and then goosebumps all over his body. Although Augustine didn't do anything, Noah was still vaguely aware of a sense of oppression that was enough to make people feel hopeless. Augustine is not an ordinary demon, his power is a desperate existence for humans, enough to crush everything.

Noah understood that in front of Augustine, all his struggles were in vain, and there was no chance of backhanding at all.

Thinking of this, Noah felt that his mood suddenly became a lot lighter, and he suddenly felt a sense of relief.

But he still didn't want to sit still.

Even if there was little hope, Noah didn't want Rand and the Moon Country to be fooled by demons like this; History has long given human counsel that once the devil has snooped on the foundation on which human society depends and controlled the government, then it will not be far from decay and destruction! Noah didn't want the more than 600 years of accumulation in the Moon Country to be ruined, and he didn't want it to be ruined in the hands of his friends and let him bear the notoriety of the ages!

So although Noah seems calm on the surface, he has actually been secretly thinking about how to get out for a long time. Even if there was only the slightest chance, he couldn't just give up!

"It's a pity that he told me not to touch you." Augustine glanced at Noah and said suddenly.

What?

Noah wondered if he had misheard.

"As much as I would love to get rid of you right away, your king has warned me not to do anything to his people, especially you, even if you already know what he's done." Augustine continued to play with his gloves and said playfully.

Noah was stunned for a moment, he obviously didn't expect Augustine to say such a thing. After a moment, he continued: "In that case, why are you looking for me? ”

"Because I did, you don't have to confront him face to face." Augustine straightened up, his eyes sharpening, "I can tell you anything you want to know." Why embarrass the relationship between yourself and the king? ”

Noah looked at Augustine's face and thought about it seriously, then showed a thoughtful expression.

Noah asked, "What are the conditions he has for you?" Sure enough, Noah still cares very much about the situation above the court, and wants to know how far Augustine has interfered with the country.

Augustine smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in him as a king, nor in the mess of things within your human race. So you, the prime minister, can rest assured that all decisions made by the court are his own judgment, and they have nothing to do with me. ”

I see.

Somehow, after listening to Augustine's words, Noah suddenly felt a lot more relieved. Compared to what he had expected, the truth didn't seem so difficult to accept.

But Noah still felt a little puzzled, so he asked, "What about Lan Ke?" Does he know about your relationship with Rand? ”
