Chapter 15: The Details Are the Devil
After crossing the bustling main street and crossing a grassy and dirt path, the carriage finally stopped in front of an estate on the outskirts of Ferry City. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Baron Obilla, who suddenly received a notice in the early morning, and Baron Obilla, who had not had time to fully digest the shocking news that Augustus had woken up, was waiting at the gate of the manor very early, he saw the carriage, and hurried to meet it without waiting for the carriage to stop, and then watched the old butler lift the curtain, and a young girl pushed a young man out of the carriage, and Obilla's expression instantly stiffened, it seemed to be the familiar and unfamiliar face of the young man, and it seemed that the wheelchair under him made him feel dazzling- Soon, however, Obila regained the cheerful smile on his round and fat face, and waited for the knight beside the carriage to carry the young man down with his wheelchair, and then he walked up to the young man, and said with a rich and sincere emotion: "Praise the Lord, Augustus, you are really all right, this is really a thing worth reveling." ”
Augustus sat down and looked up at Baron Obilla, who had deliberately bent down and lowered his head, as if the latter was really funny because of his fat body, and he looked strange and said: "If you mean that I can still soak up the sun, then I do seem to be fine, but considering that I can't even do without a wheelchair at this time, I don't think it's a thing worth revelry." ”
Seems a little mean?
Obila's expression remained unchanged, and there was still a sincere smile on her slightly honest fat face: "The Alfred family has a saying, to live is the greatest carnival. ”
Augustus smiled and didn't speak again, letting Baron Obilla snatch the control of the wheelchair from old Vernon, he wouldn't feel that this was too pretentious, because this Baron Obilla is not only the core role of the Alfred family in transmitting all imperial information to the wasteland in the Holy Empire, but more importantly, Obila is also a distant relative of Augustus's matrilineal family.
The wheelchair travels along the path in the grass towards the estate.
Augustus casually looked at the layout of the manor, this is a typical medieval manor, simple and generous, with three walls built with fence piles on the outside, and two small buildings with only two floors scattered inside, plus the surrounding stables are designed like decorations. The servant's rest room and utility room, with a wide lawn, although the momentum cannot be compared with Alfred Castle, and it is far less exquisite than the Dolly Manor, but it is also very good that such a baron's manor can be so natural and comfortable, especially the identity of Baron Obila's dark side is destined to be too ostentatious in the empire.
Bathed in the warm winter sun, walking on the soft grass.
Baron Obila and Augustus lamented the hardships of life since Alfred's attack three months ago, and on the other hand, they also denounced the despicability of the attackers, and comforted Augustus that all the hardships would eventually pass, just like Alfred's ancestors still survived even if they committed the crime of treason and extermination, which really revealed too much of the attitude that Augustus should have; Obilla explained kindly that it was a carpet made of gray brown bear skin, and I heard that not only was it comfortable to walk on, but it also had a series of massage functions, and it cost at least 10 gold bourbon coins per inch.
Elizabeth stuck out her little tongue very cutely, oh my God, it's so expensive, how many gold coins can be spread out in such a large piece of land.
Obirah's smile was still the same, her eyes were peaceful.
This is undoubtedly a very harmonious picture, as the elder and Alfred's core member, Obilla is respectful and reserved but generous and kind, and as Alfred's helmsman and junior, Augustus is full of expressions of his kindness and closeness to Obira, and also maintains his due calmness and bearing.
It seems that when they meet for the first time, they will go all the way in a good direction.
However.
Just as Obilla pushed the wheelchair to the front of the main building and said that a hearty lunch had been prepared, Augustus suddenly smiled and signaled him to stop, and then drove the wheelchair to turn around alone, smiling at the fat man who could be said to be Alfred's number one spy leader, Augustus smiled and said: "By the way, Uncle Obilla, there is a question I need to find the answer from you." ”
"What is there to see? Augustus ask. ”
Augustus looked at Baron Obilla playfully, and roughly understood why his father gave him such an important role to play, excluding the close ties of blood ties himself, this fat baron was really not as honest as he appeared, which can be seen from his good sociability all the way, as well as the sudden question in the face of Augustus, and the abrupt 'Uncle Obilla', he can face it calmly, you can see the clue.
"That's right, when I came, I have been looking through the documents and materials you handed over to the wasteland, and I found an interesting phenomenon, 3 months ago, you could follow Alfred's instructions, and the latest imperial information was sent to Alfred Castle every 2 days, but after Alfred was attacked, the information became every 4 days, It will even take 5 days to arrive, and this situation lasts for 1 month, and then it turns into a week, until now the latest information on the Empire side in my hands is 10 days ago, my dear Uncle Obilla, how would you explain this?"
Obila didn't have any so-called panicked and embarrassed expressions, just smiled bitterly with some helplessness and chagrin.
Then he was just about to speak, Augustus preemptively said before he could speak, and said: "Don't tell me it's because of Alfred's attack, it doesn't have much impact on you, as far as I know, even when Elizabeth was in charge of Alfred, she gave you no less than a copper plate, but your needs increased a little." In the same way, don't tell me that because of the attack on Alfred, the people on your side are fluctuating, and a lot of information has not been collected in the first place, if this is the case, your extra funds are very unnecessary. ”
Perhaps it was really bad to be robbed, Baron Obilla's fat face finally squeezed out an ugly smile, and he said: "This is indeed my dereliction of duty, but Augustus, what you don't know is that since the attack on Alfred, it has not been so easy for our people to pass through the Alpine Canyon as safely and easily as before, and that despicable Saxon has almost blocked our normal route. ”
Push everything on the head of the Marquis of Sauron?
It seems to be a reasonable explanation, after all, the news that the Sauron family wants Alfred to perish cannot be concealed from Obila, who is extremely concerned about Alfred.
But he was doomed to disappointment.
Augustus sneered, feeling the swiftness of his uncle's reaction and the most important qualities that he should possess as a spy leader, he simply said without hesitation: "Then why did I, who only left yesterday afternoon, appear in front of you this morning?
Obilla, who was notified early in the morning and learned that Augustus had woken up, was suddenly shocked and almost blurted out that this is impossible, you can't just move last night. Because according to his inference, since Augustus came to the empire after awakening, he must have wanted to seek help in the empire, and it was impossible for this news to be hidden from the Saxon, so for the Marquis of Sauron, who wanted to destroy Alfred, what reason was there to watch Augustus cross the defense line of the Alps and be indifferent? Well, it's all clear that it is impossible for Augustus to win the so-called support within the empire and toss the so-called tricks, but at this critical moment, shouldn't the Marquis of Sauron be more cautious and try his best to make everything as accident-free as possible, so that Augustus is helpless?
When did Sauron, who had always been cautious, become so conceited?
Baron Obilla couldn't figure it out, and it was actually normal that he couldn't figure it out, because he didn't know that Augustus had already attended the Sauron Council and met with the Marquis of Sauron, and he wouldn't know that Sauron's first heir was obsessed with Elizabeth.
Of course, in fact, even Augustus couldn't figure it out at first, but then he knew that the reason why he was peaceful all the way through the canyon behind Sauron may be because Sauron thought he couldn't toss any tricks, so he despised him and ignored him, and it was more likely that the attitude and words of Arthras he met that day were serious about Elizabeth, and Arthras played a certain degree of influence in it.
Naturally, Obilla didn't know about the child's games that these nobles didn't pay attention to, even if he was Alfred's spy chief.
This is probably the meaning that the devil means that the details are.
