"I'm sorry to say that, but I have to tell you that you're probably going to be disappointed. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Fate has been decided.

Augustus was unable to sit in a wheelchair, as if he was unaware of the slight tremors of his fingers. At this time, theoretically speaking, even if Augustus, who had no hope left, was no longer reconciled, he had to give up, and he had to accept the fate of his Alfred's eventual demise, regardless of whether his heart was strong or not.

However, after a brief period of despair, Augustus, who was originally unable to sit in a wheelchair, slowly sat up straight.

This was in the eyes of Mass, but even the experienced Mass had to admire the tenacity, and he had no idea where this 17-year-old child came from.

Is it really just stupidly tough?

Augustus quickly adjusted his mentality, he knew that he basically had no hope anymore, but the ups and downs of the shopping mall in his previous life made Augustus very clear that the negotiation itself was a psychological warfare, and Augustus, who had a lifetime of experience in this area, categorically did not allow him to surrender and admit defeat before the curtain ended, even if the outcome was already doomed.

He didn't speak immediately, but first turned to look behind him, as if looking for Elizabeth.

It's a pity that the brilliant Elizabeth realized that there were some things he didn't want her to know, so he never came in.

Augustus looked at old Vernon and told old Vernon to call Elizabeth.

Then he pulled out the document from his bosom that he was not sure of, it was true that he had little hope, but in any case he had to fight for Elizabeth to live well, which in itself was his bottom line before this negotiation with Mass. In silence, he pushed the document in front of the Bishop of Mass, and said softly: "I have a document here that I would like you to see. ”

Mass wonders, is there really a final futile struggle?

He took the document and began to read it, in the end, honor and disgrace had been up and down for half a lifetime, and Mass quickly noticed Augustus's doubts on the document, and his expression gradually moved.

Augustus's emotionless voice sounded, explaining: "In the first half of this year, there were three civilian riots in a short period of time in the city of Dehe, Alfred's territory, and the interesting thing is that the civilian riots were not against Alfred's nobles, but clashed with each other, and even caused more than 10 deaths. The reason for the riot is that the information says that several pieces of earth and stones mixed with gold were excavated by civilians in the process of reclamation, I don't know what this means, but I believe that this is definitely not a simple shit luck incident, otherwise my father would not have reason to suppress it in the first place, and strictly seal the news, and list that wasteland as Alfred's forbidden area. I've always suspected that this incident might have something to do with Alfred's attack, and the timing was too perfect, but unfortunately I didn't have a chance to find out. ”

"It means it's likely that there's a gold mine in Alfred's fiefdom?"

The Bishop of the Mass, who had always left an indifferent impression on Augustus, spoke with an unusual expression of emotion.

However, Augustus didn't notice this for the first time, he inadvertently saw the cold girl beside him who hadn't said a word from beginning to end suddenly had strange eyes, and then he thought about how the girl's strange eyes at Mass really contained too much information, he felt that he had caught something, but sadly, no matter how much he thought about it, he realized that he hadn't caught anything.

He quickly gave up thinking, and all he wanted was the peace of Elizabeth I anyway.

"If nothing else, I think so, but I don't have time to confirm it. ”

The Mass had already raised his eyebrows, as if he were making a choice.

But Augustus did not pay attention to this, and he just followed his train of thought and said: "Although it may sound absurd, I want to tell you that you are the only one who knows the news, and even Elizabeth may not have been aware of this little incident of civilian riot. I mean, no matter what you do with this potential gold mine next, I hope it will at least give Elizabeth a chance to survive, and I don't ask you to give too much, just let Elizabeth live under the imperial sky and give her a stable and peaceful identity, even in a monastery. ”

"Trade a gold mine for your sister's chance of survival?"

Mass blurted out such a sentence, Augustus nodded without hesitation, and said bitterly: "Yes, it may be delusional, but Alfred can only come up with so much." ”

Delusion?

Only so much?

Mass didn't speak, but Sophia, the cold girl beside him, had already begun to slander, couldn't this damn devil see that Mass's eyes were already shining? God, it was a gold mine, piled up in front of Mass of the Poor Egg, enough to make Mass unable to close his eyes for days and nights, it was good, after Mass, he might not have to borrow money from her again, he would soon have a gold mine!

Who would have thought that the young sun of the Holy See would be tempted by these things?

Augustus categorically could not have imagined that all he could do at this time was to wait, to wait for the decision of Mass.

"That's what you said before, why you didn't leave your fate in my hands. But Augustus, I am puzzled, how could a selfish and cold-blooded man like you give up everything to fight for the last chance of life for your sister, and not for yourself?"

Bishop Mass put down his hand in Chinese, it seems that he has been peaceful, but in fact, no matter how Sophia on the side looks, she feels that the peace of Mass is too fake, if she is really peaceful and really doesn't care, why do her eyes always unconsciously glance at that document? In particular, Sophia does not need to pay attention at all to be able to conclude that Mass's eyes must be on the word with the word 'gold'.

Speaking of which, it is really fitting that this devil Augustus compared Mass to a dragon before, and I heard that dragons are not all hobby-hobbing wealth?

"It's understandable. Augustus, who had completely let go of everything, was extremely calm, and he said: "I did come to the empire with hope, but the disappointment was not unexpected, so how should I face despair after disappointment, this is something that only I can decide, not even you, as for your second question...... I refused to answer. ”

I can't say that I shouldn't have existed in this world anyway.

Mass gazes at this proud young Alfred at the helm.

"You are a wise child, and you are clever enough to survive in this filthy world, and it is especially precious that your care for Elizabeth will be seen by the Lord. ”

Sophia curled her lips, but unfortunately Augustus didn't see it, otherwise his impression of this lonely girl would have changed.

"But the problem is that even if I bring Elizabeth to the Empire, I can't guarantee that I will see her grow up safely and peacefully, after all, this world is too complicated, and there are too many things that I can intervene in and I can change. Besides, since this gold mine is in your Alfred's territory, I think it would be more appropriate for Alfred's people to take care of it, Alfred himself belongs to the wasteland, but I don't. ”

Look, the Poor Egg Mass has finally revealed his tail!

Sophia sneered again and again, thinking regretfully, it seems that it is impossible to see Alfred, a once great family, enter the abyss like this for the time being.

"So if you want Elizabeth to live peacefully and happily, I personally think that you are more suitable if you are smart enough, and of course, you also need to deal with the gold mine matter. ”

......

Is this an unexpected revelation given to him by the goddess of fate raised by a son of a bitch?

Augustus could not understand how the Governor of Mass could suddenly have such a great change, and he could not for a moment how Mass, who had no secret hatred for him, could make such a great reversal.

His mind was confused, but Mass didn't give him time to wake up, as Mass said at the beginning, although he had an aristocratic status, he didn't like the aristocratic hypocritical and twisted way of talking, so his next words were quite direct, he said: "Tell your bottom line Augustus." ”

The bottom line here is to say anything, no matter how chaotic Augustus can clearly grasp, he did not hesitate to say: "Sanqi." After a pause, he had just climbed out of the abyss of despair, as if grasping the last straw, and explained: "There are lichs in the north, and the news of the gold mine must not be hidden for too long, and I must also deal with the covetousness of other families in the wasteland. ”

That is to say, a gold mine was thus directly turned into the private property of the Bishop of the Mass.

Mass smiled, he likes to be partners and even friends with smart people, he stood up, suddenly looked at the cold girl on the side, ignored the latter's vague eyes and mockery, and said with a smile: "Oh yes, I forgot to introduce, this is Miss Sophia, his understanding of the power of light is enough to make you have the ability to walk again, this can be regarded as the kindness I paid in advance." ”

Success gains hope and also seems to regain the ability to stand.

Augustus could hardly believe this sudden series of dramatic changes.

As it happened, old Vernon and Elizabeth entered the room and happened to hear the last words of the Bishop of Mass, so Elizabeth, who did not know the intermediate process, was dumbfounded.

Who could, or who dared to believe that Augustus actually did it?

......

Sophia slowly got up, her expression still cold and arrogant, she looked at Augustus, walked softly, and finally obeyed the mass, intending to give the devil the ability to stand again.

At the same time, Bishop Mass walked rather abruptly towards the old Vernon behind Augustus.

He looked at the old man who had served three generations of Alfred at the helm, and without warning, he said, "I have seen you, in the North, in the Court of the Lich. As he spoke, he ignored Augustus, who turned back suddenly, and Elizabeth, who looked stunned, and continued with a frown: "Your injuries are still not healed?

The most non-existent old man beside Augustus was still rigid and emotionless, he raised his hand, pointed to his heart, and said calmly: "Here is the strength of the Titan King's punch, leaving one of the Titan King's right arms, and when I pinched the throat of the shaman's high priest, he was unable to kill me, and succeeded in leaving a non-lethal but difficult black magic on me, and there is little hope of recovery." ”

The old man said calmly, he had always been expressionless, he suddenly narrowed his old eyes full of crow's feet, and said indifferently: "Otherwise, why do you think that group of humble and poor ants in the wasteland dare to bully my young master and my young lady? Otherwise, why do you think you threatened my young master, but you can still stand safely in front of my young master?"
