Old Vernon didn't hear from him for 4 days. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Augustus sat quietly at his desk, his fingers playing on the desk out of rhythm and out of rhythm, and he felt that the whole moor seemed to be surrounded by a haze, and a fog before his eyes.

In fact, as early as the second day, when the contact with the old butler was suddenly interrupted, Augustus sent two knights to the Grand Canyon of the Alps to try to find the reason, but to his surprise, not only did the reason not be found, but even the knights sent out were never heard from, what did this mean, Augustus did not know, the only thing he could be sure of was that Baron Obirah, who combined with the Imperial Ferry City, had not passed any information about the Empire to him for at least a week, so the problem must be in Sauron's territory。

Was it the Marquis of Sauron who severed Alfred's ties with the Empire?

It is unlikely, considering the factor of Arthras, and Augustus also knew that after the Second Council of Sauron, the Marquis of Sauron also sent his second heir to support Arthras who was fighting against the Lich, then of course there was no need for the Marquis of Sauron to do such a thing against Alfred at this time.

Because it can be said that the arrival of the Knights Cathar made the nobles choose to stand by coldly, and then wait until Augustus spread the news that the Holy See is likely to set up a diocese in the wasteland, then under the eager expectation of the commoners and minor nobles in the territories of the wasteland, in the end, the nobles can only assist Alfred to resist the lich together, so that the lich realizes that the wasteland has begun to rebel, and then has to leave the wasteland, this is Augustus's whole plan.

In such a situation, what reason does Sauron have to kill Alfred?

Even if he wasn't worried about the violent backlash of the commoners and all the minor nobles in his domain, wasn't he worried about the will of the Holy See on the other side of the Alps?

Augustus thought about it and felt that the problem was probably not with the Marquis of Sauron.

But if it weren't for Sauron, then who else could have such a powerful power, in Sauron's territory, hide from Sauron, and completely cut off Alfred's connection with the Empire?

Augustus couldn't figure it out, and he suddenly felt that the clouds that had covered Alfred's sky seemed to be thick again.

......

There was a sudden knock on the wooden door of the study, and Augustus, who was frowning tightly, stopped tapping his fingers on the desk, did not look back, asked casually, and went to find Her Royal Highness Sophia, who has a dual personality?

The dual personality is Augustus's concise judgment of His Royal Highness Sophia in private, but no, the cold arrogance in front of strangers, and the innocence in front of Albert, are completely two people.

Augustus knows that Elizabeth and Her Royal Highness Sophia have inexplicably established a fragile friendship in the past few days, and he will not object to this, first, Sophia's cultivation in all aspects makes him admire, and she is not a tsundere lady with a smaller chest, and then she is abandoning the wasteland, Elizabeth, who has no friends, does make Augustus feel distressed, for Augustus, a girl of Elizabeth's age should stick together with the so-called girlfriends every day, and study what cosmetics, skirts, Handsome knights and other boring and interesting topics, instead of being buried in a cumbersome pile of papers.

So from this point of view, Sophia acts as Elizabeth's playmate, and Augustus raises his hand to welcome it.

I just don't know if as the little princess of Constantine, if Her Royal Highness Sophia knew that this damn little devil had such a mind, would she let him know what the real Princess Constantine was.

Unexpectedly, Elizabeth didn't pay attention to Augustus for the first time, but coughed as if to remind Augustus, and then when Augustus turned back in confusion, he saw Her Royal Highness Sophia next to Elizabeth in a gorgeous princess dress, so he quickly put on a gentle smile mask, nodded slightly, and said with sincere emotion: "I really didn't expect Your Highness to come to my humble study, it seems that it is necessary for me to ask the servants to stay away from my study, at least for a week." ”

Sophia raised the corners of her lips a little unnaturally, as if Augustus's 'unreasonableness' a few days ago had left a shadow on her, she cursed the latter's undisguised hypocrisy, and asked indifferently: "Double personality?"

"Oh, it's a chic name peculiar to the wasteland, just like you, arrogance in front of strangers, kindness in front of acquaintances, it's a perfect combination. Augustus, still smiling, was frank and sincere.

Sophia gritted her teeth, if she didn't know that what Elizabeth had said about Augustus these days was true, how could she possibly believe that this sleek, treacherous and hateful devil in front of her could do those things.

Elizabeth, who noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange, smiled, she took Sophia's hand and walked towards Augustus, and said with a smile: " Okay, brother, that's the case, Sister Sophia feels that there are some things that need to be known to you, these days, Sister Sophia has specially helped you understand the affairs of Sauron's territory, as far as she knows, a group of mysterious people suddenly appeared in Sauron's territory and the Alpine Grand Canyon, the purpose seems to be to make Sauron's territory completely lose contact with the outside world, who are they and what they want to do, we still don't know, but they don't seem to be targeting Alfred. ”

Augustus was stunned.

Only then did he know why the clever Elizabeth would take Sophia to his more sensitive study, and of course he would not doubt that Sophia had the ability to easily understand the situation in Sauron's territory.

He'd always blamed the loss of contact between Alfred and Old Vernon on the Sauron fiefdom, and he'd been wondering who was targeting Alfred, but now, what if it wasn't against Alfred?

Augustus' thoughts suddenly became clear.

If the anomaly of Sauron's fiefdom was not aimed at Alfred, then considering that these mysterious people in the shadows were obviously hiding these things from the Marquis of Sauron, then it is really not difficult to guess who they were targeting.

He also suddenly thought of the small attack he encountered when he was in Ferry City, at that time he knew that the assassination of that level could not be done by the Marquis of Sauron, nor could it be the nobles of the wasteland, otherwise the nobles who knew his movements in Ferry City very well, if they really wanted to assassinate him, they could do a little better, and the killers sent could be a little stronger, and there was no need to come up with such a small means.

Augustus was vaguely aware that the small assassination was probably just a test or a reminder of something, but he didn't have a clear understanding of the overall situation in the wasteland, so he couldn't dig deeper into the meaning.

But now, combined with the current anomalies in Sauron's territory, he finally knew that the little assassination did seem to be a subtle reminder of something interesting.

Through that assassination, he subconsciously suspected the head of Sauron, the number one giant in the wasteland, and then denied the speculation, on the premise of not guessing the mastermind of the assassination, the only thing Augustus could guess at that time was that there were some small problems within the Marquis of Sauron - because of the exclusion of Donald, Christopher's assassination suspicion, the only thing left that is likely to assassinate Augustus is the circle of the Marquis of Sauron, but that assassination was indeed not instigated by the Marquis of Sauron, so whether it is Francis or Stuart, they would secretly assassinate Alfred, who was in Ferry City at the time, wouldn't it be interesting?"

Is it Francis or Stuart?

Augustus felt that the wasteland was really getting more and more interesting, he narrowed his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh quietly: "What a plan." ”

Of course, the big picture here refers to Francis or Stuart, but it is the one who hinted at this information to Augustus through that interesting assassination.

He didn't know who that person was, but it was clear that he was likely to be a pawn in that person's hands next.

Augustus sneered, being able to be used as a pawn at least proves that he has the value of use, doesn't it?

He didn't hesitate any longer, ignoring Sophia and Elizabeth in the study, he drove the wheelchair out of the study, and instructed the knight outside the room: "Order all the knights of the castle, including the 50 archers of the Knights of the Cathar, to rush to Christopher's territory as soon as possible, and receive Arthras and his knights, no matter what, to ensure the safe return of Master Arteras, even if the lich is allowed to invade Alfred's territory." ”
