Chapter Seventy-One: The Continent is Big, and We're Small

A huge and fierce negotiation ended in a dramatic one. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The gorgeous carriage that calmly left Sauron Square during the siege of spears and swords did not leave Sauron City for the first time, but wandered around the relatively prosperous commercial area of Sauron City aimlessly, and in the middle Queen Terina asked Augustus suspiciously, could he continue to stay in Sauron City to further provoke Francis's sensitive nerves that were already on the verge of collapse? Augustus smiled and shook his head, saying that he just wanted to take Her Majesty to experience a simple version of the human world, Terina didn't believe it, but it seemed that Augustus was really pure shopping, and even passed by a jewelry store, this poor egg who just had some gold coins in his hand also spent 20 gold coins to buy her a butterfly hairpin inlaid with inferior rubies, so Queen Terina, who was extremely keen on everything similar to blood color, stopped paying attention to Augustus when she had a hairpin, and she didn't notice that Augustus was also taking another small thing.

But to be honest, Sauron City is indeed a simple version of the human world, surrounded by towering walls, since it is the rear of the wasteland migration every year, it can be said to be the most brilliant city in the wasteland in terms of population base and prosperity, it is not like other towns in the heath of the wasteland is completely made of stones of primitive society, in fact, in Sauron City, not only there are enough rich shops, but also not crowded but also not desolate people, at least compared to Alfred, Sauron City, with commercial areas and material transactions, is a prosperous and lively, but also a luxurious and desirable beautiful city。

The carriage wandered until it was nearly dark before leaving the city of Sauron.

Outside the city.

At a glance, you can see that the clear-cut Katieani and the Knights of the Cathar are neatly waiting under the walls of Sauron, although they are facing the towering walls that cannot be shaken no matter how much they charge, but the knights who have just left the battlefield still exude a resolute aura, making people have no doubt that under an order, they will quickly charge towards the city wall, and this is the biggest difference between the Knights of the Cathar and the knights of the various families in the wasteland, no matter how bright the armor is wiped, and how sharp the spear and sword in their hands are, the resolute momentum exuded by the Knights of the Cathar as a whole is not comparable to the knights of the families in the wasteland。

It is a mighty order made purely by faith.

Faith in immortality and knighthood is the strongest foundation of the Knights of the Cathars.

Katienni got into the carriage, and without dismounting, he crossed his arms and bowed slightly to Augustus, without showing any of the fatigue or hardship that should have been felt when he had just left the battlefield.

Augustus calmly looked at him, the proud knight captain, there were two dents on the not bright armor, which should be the traces left by the orc stick, although Katieoni's injuries had been completely healed under the fourth law of His Royal Highness Sophia, and he had recovered his peak strength of level 6 high-level fighting qi, but on the real battlefield, no matter how strong his personal strength was, it was difficult to completely avoid the trauma; he looked up at Katieni's handsome and tough face with blonde hair, and secretly sighed that this was probably the greatest legacy his father left him, and then he asked softly: "Our men have evacuated Christopher's territory, and Christopher's men have not moved?"

"As you ordered, the infantry regiment returned to Alfred's territory before we left, and we haven't seen Christopher's knights since we encountered the orcs head-on. ”

That's weird.

Augustus was silent for a moment, looking in the direction of the Christopher family territory in the north, and he found that he really couldn't understand what kind of mind the middle-aged man with the impression of extraordinarily fair skin had.

It can be said that the current Christopher is revealing a strange atmosphere everywhere, and the recent turmoil that directly affects the pattern of the wasteland is not small, Sauron has fallen, Arthras has launched a blood revenge against Francis, and Alfred has almost started a full-scale war with Francis, but there is no shadow of Christopher in this series of events, which is of course very abnormal, no matter how Christophe is also one of the giants on the wasteland table, not to mention that he is directly involved in these things, at least an attitude must be shown, right?

But he didn't.

Especially since he lukewarmly replied to Augustus's letter, and even more so quietly that he was almost forgotten after giving Athelas a little help when he was active in his territory.

Could it be that he guessed that Augustus had already become suspicious of him? Augustus couldn't figure this out, but he was very willing to consider it in this direction, but if that was the case, he shouldn't be so quiet, either continue to be with Augustus, maintain a deep friendship with Alfred on the surface, or simply tear his face and completely fall to Francis, this is the most appropriate reaction he should have.

But he still didn't.

Augustus can't figure it out, but one thing he knows very well is that Christopher definitely has a big hand behind Christopher that can't even be seen in the entire wasteland to manipulate Christopher, which makes it impossible for Augustus to take the initiative to maintain a superficial friendship with him, it is too dangerous, and the currently weak Alfred can't bear the sudden occurrence that may arise; 。

Unable to figure it out, Augustus simply didn't think about it, and it was his wisest choice now to adapt to all changes.

He retracted his gaze and said to Katieani in front of him, "There is one more thing you need to do before you take the knight back to rest. ”

Katieani bowed down, even dedicating his soul to Alfred, and he certainly didn't complain in the slightest.

......

The carriage drove in the direction of the Alpine Grand Canyon, followed by the mighty Knights Cathar, Augustus, who had dabbled in co-ordination in his previous life, habitually considered how to save costs to the greatest extent in any situation, which means that this trip to Sauron was not simply a superficial negotiation with Francis plus a send-off for Albert, and the more important thing was that the old butler had waited long enough in the Alpine Grand Canyon, and Augustus, who lacked food supplies, also had to welcome back his old butler, so he took this opportunity to recall Katieani and the Knights Cathar, in fact, it was also to escort the materials brought back by the old butler all the way。

Still some way from the Grand Canyon, Katieeni went to pick up the old butler, and Augustus left Albert in the wilderness.

He and Albert stood alone by the carriage.

Expressing his sincerest gratitude to Albert, Augustus bowed deeply.

Albert, who is still very devoid of the image of the first knight in the continent, has always been silently watching this child, he has not been in the wasteland for a long time, but he does have a considerable degree of understanding of this child, from the child's tough hand when Alfred was in the internal meeting, to the overnight destruction of the Sauron family, he made the most favorable choice for Alfred at the first time, as well as the strong mind he had in a series of conflicts with Francis not long ago, and the tactfulness necessary to be a nobleman when facing Francis head-on, cunning, sensitive, cruel, and other personalities, he sees them all.

And he also witnessed the complete process of this child from being in a wheelchair to now entering the path of awakening knighthood.

All this made Albert have no doubt that this child could go far, far away, whether on the road of nobility or on the road of knighthood.

He whispered, "I'm waiting for you in the Empire." ”

Augustus nodded without hesitation, and he had no doubt that he would one day set foot on the stage of the Holy Empire.

Then it was also clear that there might not be a chance to meet again for at least a few years, Augustus finally frowned and asked: "Before you leave, I want to ask you, why are you willing to help me? I know that there is the factor of the Bishop of Mass, and it is not ruled out that what you said at the beginning was to help me just to plant a seed, but these are not enough, and they cannot even be the main reason. ”

"When you should know, you will know. ”

Saying this very perfunctorily, Albert obviously didn't want to bring up this topic again, he turned around, looked at the vast wasteland, and said abruptly: "Augustus, are you in awe of this world?"

Although he was unwilling, Augustus, who was indeed helpless, was slightly stunned, and then after thinking about it, the corners of his lips raised a self-deprecating arc: "It's more than awe." ”

Perhaps remembering the firmest faith that Augustus had said at the beginning, Albert, who looked at Augustus again, had a particularly complicated look in his eyes, and he said: "Augustus, this world is very big, bigger than you imagined, there are many things that you may have only heard of, or even heard of, but no matter what, I hope you can look at everything in this world with an attitude of undeniability, because we don't know, If we haven't seen it, it doesn't mean that those things don't exist, on the contrary, it only proves that we are small, and we are not qualified enough to know and touch those things. ”

Augustus, who didn't know why Albert said this, frowned at first, and then, as if he didn't want to bring up too heavy a topic at this time, he urged: "Like a dragon?"

However, Albert was unusually serious: "No, I have seen the dragon at least, and I have managed to blind it in one eye, but there are some things, even if I am not qualified to touch them. ”

Augustus was shocked suddenly, what else was so powerful that the first knight of the continent was not qualified to touch it?

He didn't know why Albert had told him this before leaving, but he did have a vague feeling that it had something to do with Albert's willingness to lead him down the path of knighthood.

He was silent.

Albert said calmly: "One day, I hope you have the opportunity to uncover the biggest secret of this continent. ”

Augustus thought for a long time and said slowly: "If necessary, this is my promise. ”

Even if it requires me to stand at the top of the continent.
