"Why don't you speak? Can't you find a more reasonable explanation? So let me tell you, Obila, since you heard the news of the attack on the Alfred family, you have begun to wait and see and start to retreat, because as Alfred's most important source of information, you have quite a keen insight, you guess that the Alfred family will definitely have a big change in the future, so when the Sauron Council decides that the Alfred family will resist the Lich invasion, you know that the Alfred family is going to be finished, and from that time on, you will start to seek a way out for yourself. www.biquge.info Of course, I don't know exactly how you think about retreating, but it seems to me that there are only two things, one is to use the information you have gathered for Alfred to seek refuge with the others in the wasteland, and the other is to use the wealth you have accumulated over the years through various means to befriend the real magnates of Ferry City. Personally, I prefer the latter, and if that's the case, then it explains why you need more money and a longer period of information, because it takes a lot of money and a lot of time to make friends with the powerful. ”

"My dear Uncle Obirah, is that so?"

Baron Obila looked rather ugly from Augustus' mouth.

But interestingly, with Augustus' words, Obila became more relaxed.

He no longer dared to see Augustus's nephew simply as a 17-year-old child, and a smile appeared on his face again, and said: "What an admirable inference, but the inference itself is a speculation without evidence, Augustus, I will not blame you for your false words, you are also my nephew after all, besides, I also have the blood of the same origin as your mother, even if I betray Alfred, who will accept it?"

"That's the biggest reason why I prefer the latter. Augustus said calmly, "Because there are very few people in Ferry City who know your true relationship with Alfred, the sinner. ”

Obilla shrugged her shoulders and spread her hands, "In this way, it seems that I can be convicted without evidence, especially since I have been operating in Ferri for so many years, it is not difficult to make friends with the nobles of Ferry." ”

Baron Obilla's strong heart must be admired.

Even Augustus had to suspend his attempt to get Obila to admit everything, and it was only then that he realized how shrewd and courageous Alfred's number one agent his father had chosen - and apparently, Obila also knew very well that in the turmoil of the Alfred family, as long as he refused to admit it, there was no evidence that Augustus, who had betrayed him, would not be able to touch him easily.

This attitude really made Augustus helpless.

Augustus could only smile, as if he had given up his suspicion of his uncle, and he said: " Well, it seems that my guess is really a wrong guess, but Obirah, I have to warn you a few words, if you really want to betray, then you must not choose to rely on the information in your hands to join the nobles of the wasteland, believe me, as long as you squeeze your information dry, they will never hesitate to send you to hell; , then you will definitely bear the unclean reputation of a traitor. ”

It seems that Augustus's last words made Obila a little jealous.

Augustus noticed that Baron Obilla's fat face shook unnaturally at that moment, but he didn't pursue it or continue his speculation, but continued to laugh: "Having said that, in this case, all those who betray or try to betray Alfred can actually be forgiven, even if I don't admit it, Alfred some time ago was indeed shaky, and everyone has the right to choose to live, not to mention that the Alfred family has long said that living is the biggest carnival in itself." ”

Baron Obilla's unnatural smile seemed to be about to speak.

But without giving him a chance to speak, Augustus smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, this is the end of the subject, if it is only doubts, then please accept my doubts and extend my sincerest apologies, I believe that Uncle Obila you will not take it to heart, Alfred has been going on too much recently, you must forgive me for the offense - there is one more thing to come, it is about my sudden arrival in Ferry City." ”

"There is a young overseer in the diocese of Noi, you must know that I have a letter here that needs to be handed over to him as soon as possible, is there a way?"

The salutation changed from you to you, and Obila noticed this detail as well.

He hesitated slightly, not knowing whether he was hesitating about Augustus's speculation about his betrayal, or doubting that Augustus actually wanted to have something to do with that young overlord, who could be said to be the most dazzling young overlord in the entire Holy See, and then after thinking about it for a short time, he nodded: "Every Friday Mass, the bishop will visit the orphans of the monastery of Pakira and guide them to pray together, which happens to be today." ”

Augustus was stunned.

The goddess of fate finally threw a wink at him?

That's a good start.

Without hesitation, he took out the letter from his bosom that would determine the fate of Alfred and handed it to Obilla, saying, "Give it to him as soon as possible, and make sure that it is indeed in his hands." ”

Obilla took the letter and looked at Alfred's purple iris seal in the corner of the letter, her eyes complicated.

Does this mean that Augustus has completely abandoned his doubts and re-chosen to believe in him completely?

He looked up at Augustus's gentle face with some surprise, and sure enough, Augustus added with a smile: "By the way, let Katienian escort you all the way, you should know Katieni's strength." ”

Obila was relieved, perhaps he didn't even notice it, and Augustus's continued suspicion reassured him, which was undoubtedly a very strange logic.

"If it is only to give the letter to the Bishop of Mass, it will not be a big problem, and I will arrange this after lunch, and the convent should be able to complete it before it closes. As she spoke, Obila tried to re-enter the armrest of Augustus' wheelchair and introduced, "I received the news that you and Elizabeth were coming over in the morning, and I specially took out the agate wine that your father left for me before, I believe you must like it." ”

Augustus raised his eyebrows, and before Baron Obira could walk to the armrest of his wheelchair behind him, he said, "You may not know the importance of this matter, Obella, did I come overnight just for your treasured wine?"

Baron Obirah's fat face turned a little red because of embarrassment, but in the end he simply nodded: "I'll do it." ”

Then he turned and told the maids of the manor that they were to serve Augustus and Elizabeth for lunch, and without hesitation, he carried the letter in his bosom and walked to the door of the manor.

Augustus watched Obila and Katieeni leave, he felt that Obila should try his best to complete this matter for him, not only because of Katieni's company, but more importantly, in any case, Obila has not completely betrayed Alfred at this time, even if he does have the intention of betrayal, but just now Augustus himself overturned his suspicions and handed him the letter, Obila should know very well that at least in a short period of time, Augustus will not be able to do anything against him, and during this time period, as long as he completes the things that Augustus gave him, he has more choices: on the one handHe could continue to mingle with the nobility of Ferry City and save him from the fate of Alfred's demise, and on the other hand, if Alfred had not perished and he had done it, there would be no reason for Augustus, who had betrayed him, to do anything to him.

It was easy to think of, and Augustus thought that a shrewd Orbila must have imagined.

He squinted at the door of Obilla's vanished manor, didn't look back, and said abruptly to old Vernon behind him: "If there is still a chance to go back, find a reliable person to take over Obilah's work." ”

"As you wish, my lord. ”

Old Vernon bent down respectfully, as a butler, and laid the right pieces on the adult's chessboard according to the adult's intentions, which was in itself the focus of his work, and as for what to do with Baron Obirah, what would happen to an outcast who had too many secrets of Alfred?

Elizabeth, who had been silent from the beginning to the end, finally spoke after hearing Augustus and old Vernon talk, her delicate face was full of doubts, and asked: "Brother, are you going to execute Obila? But you have no evidence, and didn't you just say that in Alfred's current situation, all those who betray or try to betray Alfred can be forgiven? besides, it is Uncle Obira." ”

"Evidence is a sword in the hands of the righteous, and the problem is that I am not the righteous. Augustus explained, and then asked curiously: "Besides, did I say that I would forgive betrayal?"

Elizabeth nodded earnestly, seemingly resolute and incomprehensible.

Augustus smiled: "Oh, I forgot. ”
