Christopher Castle still stands tall, but Christopher is dead. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Like the cumbersome stars in the night, the torches that form a spectacular picture in a line completely envelop Christopher, including the 300-strong knights of Augustus, plus Christopher's servants like Viscount Franklin who choose to betray because they don't want to die, at least 600 knights besiege Christopher's castle, in front of them, except for the less than 200 Christopher knights who are difficult to pose a threat, there is only a lonely castle without any defense, Augustus knows very well that as long as he waits for his order to charge, Christopher will be history forever。

But he did not immediately order Katieani and Elvis to charge.

The torches lit up the dark night, and the air was filled with the pungent stench of Garfield's burning wood, and in such a tense and exciting atmosphere, Augustus suddenly lightly clamped his horse, walked forward a few steps alone, and appeared in front of the Christopher Knights in front of them, which also escalated the already tense atmosphere between the two sides again, and almost at the same time, the knights on both sides instantly grabbed their swords and raised their spears.

However, Augustus only raised his right hand slightly, towards Knight Christopher, whose spear was almost less than 1 meter away from his body, and he smiled: "Don't be nervous, knight. ”

Are you kidding?

Augustus obviously didn't mean this, to be honest, even though he had been in this world for nearly half a year, he still couldn't understand the stupid loyalty of these knights in front of him, in his opinion, since Count Christopher didn't stop his knights from fleeing at all, then why would these knights rather die than protect their Christopher? Is it valuable? If they are truly loyal, why not choose to flee, why not use the remaining lives in the dark to find an opportunity to subvert their enemy, that is, Alfred? Therefore, it is really difficult for his values and worldview to be consistent with the so-called chivalry.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, and Augustus doesn't despise and mock these stupid and loyal knights, and he doesn't hesitate to pay his utmost respect, even if it's an enemy, even if he still wants to bury them.

"Since your earl doesn't want to come out, I'd like to go in and have a look, okay?"

Even though they had put their lives on the line, Christopher's knights were still at a loss in the face of the absurd demands of their number one enemy, they seemed determined, but the tension in their expressions was inevitable.

"If you wish, I will consider giving your Count a dignified and dignified death. ”

The demon Augustus smiled inducingly, as if he had forgotten that he had promised Christopher that his head would only be used as a sacrifice for the life of his servant.

The upright Christopher knights hesitated, and the leading few exchanged glances with each other, and finally they absurdly agreed.

It's really a touching loyalty.

Augustus smiled and greeted, and then ignored this tragic situation in which only one side could survive, and he calmly walked forward with Katieani's worries behind him and Elvis's jaw-dropping, all the way through the path that Knight Christopher had made way for him, he walked alone to Christopher's castle, and appeared alone in front of the castle steps, and finally actually stepped on the steps and entered the castle alone.

......

Inside the castle, the lights are bright, and the Gezuma chandelier and a few bright dragon's eyes make the castle as bright as day.

It was in this bright environment that the Count Christopher sat alone on the dark red sofa in the very center of the castle.

He frowned slightly when he saw his door being pushed open, and then saw that it was little Augustus walking in, so he subconsciously picked up the great sword leaning against his side.

Augustus, who had changed into a straight tuxedo, could naturally notice the change in Count Christopher's mood, he stopped when Count Christopher picked up his broadsword, then smiled, put his right hand on his chest, he bowed, gracefully and decently, and smiled: "Does it make sense? Do you think you still have any chance at this time? Why can't you keep your dignity and grace to face death?"

Christopher's stiff expression did not change, but the hand holding the big sword finally loosened slightly.

Nobles, decency and elegance are always their second life, so since life is destined to be lost, the second life must of course be defended to the death.

Augustus then walked on until he reached the sofa in front of Count Christopher, and he added, "To prove that I am not stupid, nor am I as impatient as you think, I would like to wait in your castle, and you should not mind?"

Despite his good restraint, Count Christopher couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly, what a snarky bastard, and he could certainly hear Augustus reminding him of what he had said the night before, when he had almost killed him—was it a deliberate attempt to remind him again of the tragic sense of loss that night when he suddenly had infinite hope, but finally faced despair, falling straight from heaven to hell?

He didn't speak.

Augustus, who was sitting calmly on the sofa across from him, did not speak again.

The bright and ornate castle is completely silent.

There was no doubt that there was a strong sense of weirdness in this atmosphere, after all, both of them knew very well that after tonight they could only have one person to live, and only one surname could continue to exist in this world, so what reason did they have to sit quietly like this, and still sit quietly facing each other?

Especially when it comes to Christopher and Alfred's deep-seated friendship, the weirdness is all the more absurd.

But neither Augustus nor Christopher reacted at all, just sat calmly like this, as if they were testing each other's patience or mental endurance, and seemed to be waiting for something.

Then, as if to confirm or the words of Count Christopher that night, 'Young men are impatient,' it was Augustus who finally broke the strange atmosphere.

He smiled, as if he had found a lot of answers in the stereotypical look of Count Christopher, and he said, "I think I understand all this." Then, with Christopher's slight frown, he calmly continued: "It seems that what led you to finally attack Alfred Castle was indeed a gold mine, but I still can't think of who is behind you who has given you courage and strength. ”

"Why?"

Christopher, who was so fair-skinned in the bright light, finally struggled to say the first words.

Augustus smiled, and he spread his hands, roughly knowing the direction Christopher was asking: " Quite simply, only you can enter my father's study, which means that you are the only one who has access to Alfred's secrets, and the city of Deh borders on your territory, so you must be able to consider that once Alfred is destroyed, Dehe City will fall into your hands with all your might, and the gold mine will naturally belong to you; Or rather, who was the person who led you to deliberately approach Alfred? He probably wasn't for the gold mine in the first place, because even my father didn't know about the gold mine at the time, so why did he let you get close to Alfred in the first place, and why did a gold mine make him so reluctant to do anything to Alfred?"

said that he understood everything, but after he opened his mouth, there were still a bunch of questions.

Christopher sneered dismissively, of course he could see that Augustus was trying to induce him to speak, and then try to get out the secret he wanted to know.

But the question is, is he that stupid? Will he tell him?

Wait a little longer.

Augustus seemed to finally realize this, he shrugged his shoulders and smiled, suddenly stood up, and said, "It's okay, I will always know who is behind you." ”

"When the time comes, I will let your heir tell you in person that the man will not end up better than you. ”

At the mention of his heir, Christopher's brow jumped slightly.

However, Augustus, who had already stood up, finally did not intend to say anything more, and he also gave up what he wanted to know from Christopher, he got up and left, and walked calmly towards the door of the castle, and halfway through he suddenly stopped, turned around and smiled: "Oh yes, there is one more thing, when I came in just now, I told your knight that I would keep your whole body, but unfortunately, I lied, go to hell and curse me." ”

Almost immediately about to give up the composure and grace he was trying to maintain before his death, Christopher subconsciously clenched his greatsword again.

But in the end, he only sneered when Augustus walked to the gate of the castle: "I am waiting for you in hell, poor Augustus, you are just like me, you are a pawn of fate, and you can't escape this abandoned fate." ”

Destiny?

Opening the castle gates, but not stepping out at the first time, Augustus, with his back to Christopher, vaguely felt that he had grasped what he wanted when he walked into the castle.

He said calmly: "I'm sorry, maybe you are going to be disappointed waiting in hell, for a person who doesn't even have his life, it is too pale to threaten such a thing as fate." ”

Someone who doesn't even have his life?

Christopher, who categorically could not understand the sentence, was stunned, but Augustus had already left.

......

Outside the castle, the knights, who had been in a tense atmosphere for almost an hour, watched the young Earl Alfred in the castle slowly come out, and no one knew what he had done inside, or what he had said to Christopher, and no one could know why Count Christopher had allowed him to come out calmly before he died. They just watched with their eyes wide and hold their breath as Augustus descended the steps, mounted his horse, and then re-passed Christopher's knights back to his order.

Then, as they watched, Augustus became more and more indifferent.

He turned his back to Christopher Castle, did not turn around, and said softly: "Kill them all, and leave no one behind." (To be continued.)
