Artelas' eyes grew colder. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But since I have believed in it since childhood' If you want to control everything perfectly, you need to control your emotions perfectly, and then control yourself perfectly', of course, he will not show the so-called negative emotions, just staring at Augustus who wants to choke his Sauron's throat, his expression is calm to almost indifferent, and then glanced at the Count Stuart, who was obviously seduced by Augustus's unintelligent divisive methods, he quietly pulled the corners of his lips, raised a mocking arc, and said softly, I need time to think about it, and then, I didn't give Augustus a chance to speak, as if worried that the scheming Augustus would continue to target Count Stuart with his side knocks, Arthras looked at the gradually dark sky outside the window, and said, at noon, I have been in a hurry, and I have no chance to eat, and when I arrived at Alfred's castle, I was pulled by Augustus to the study, and I also had no chance to eat, is this Alfred's usual way of treating guests, or is it Augustus's insidious means that he intends to let them go hungry for a long negotiation, and finally can only surrender to hunger?

Augustus was stunned, then laughed dumbly.

Of course, I could feel the resentment of Young Master Artelas, and this was probably the first time that Arthras had taken off his elegant and reserved aristocratic mask, albeit only in a light corner.

He hugged the obviously unsatisfied little Lori on his lap, and said with a smile, don't think about the main meal, don't give me a satisfactory result, Alfred's castle only has black bread or expired cheese.

An unfunny joke easily breaks the tense atmosphere of the previous second.

Most of the nobles' faces are like this, even if they want to cut each other with a thousand knives behind their backs, but in the face-to-face situation, they will only make people think that they are like relatives.

Walk towards Alfred's Restaurant.

Augustus and Arthras seemed to have completely let go of the mustard, smiling and teasing each other, it was a perfect scene that could not be more harmonious, causing Count Stuart, who seemed to be completely reduced to a supporting role behind the two of them, with a complicated expression full of emotion, whether he admitted it or not, he knew very well that the next two young men in front of him, who were about the same age as his heir, were the absolute protagonists of the wasteland.

It made him feel like his steps were heavy.

In Alfred's restaurant, a dinner with specifications that are definitely in line with the status of the Marquis of Arthras has already been prepared, with a dark red theme, with a dragon tongue main course, which is too far from the black bread in Augustus's mouth, respectively, according to the position of the host and guest, no meal, first drank a sip of crimson wine, Arthras shook the red wine glass, and said with a joke, I heard that the crimson wine in your castle is not only used to entertain guests, but also buried in the cellar? Augustus, are you planning to stock up on a batch of high-quality crimson wines and wait until the future to make huge profits? Augustus was stunned for a moment, and pretended to exaggerate, You have discovered all this? Then he said quite sincerely, in fact, this is not a rational investment, how about it, are you interested in working together? are all friends, I will count your half of the shares at the price of the empire?

Share?

After pondering for a long time to understand the meaning of this new word, Arthras flatly refused, and avoided it, doing business with you will definitely lose money, and even if it earns, it can only be earned by you.

Augustus shook his head and laughed, what a boring fellow.

The atmosphere returned to the peak of lightness and happiness again, especially when Lori was buried in food and didn't have time to bully them, and Arthras and Stuart would not be so-inhibited.

Then, during the meal, as if inadvertently mentioned, Arthras suddenly asked: "By the way, Augustus, let me ask you personally, there is a servant in my territory, Lady Mary, I believe you should know, I heard that she later fled all the way to Alfred's territory, have you seen her, or do you know her whereabouts?"

Augustus skillfully cut the black steak without the slightest pause, looking up at Artelas's very casual expression, he shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"I really don't know?"

Augustus put down his knife and fork and played with the same playfulness: "Then do you want me to know or not?"

What if you know?

Could it be that he was going to tear his face with Augustus before Sauron could fully stand on his feet?

If he dared, where did he need to hesitate about the town of Albasan.

Looking intriguingly into Augustus' eyes, Arthras smiled: "Of course it's better not to know, otherwise this very unnecessary little thing will become a shadow in our friendship." ”

The first half of the sentence is false, the second half of the sentence is true, and Augustus, who naturally knows this, also smiled and did not speak again.

......

A pleasant dinner ended slowly, Augustus did not continue to negotiate with Arthras on the affairs of the Francis family, since Artelas said that he needed time to consider, of course he did not hesitate to give Artelas this time, you know, at this time it was not him who was most anxious, so he arranged for the maid to send Arthras and Count Stuart, who had come all the way, back to the room to rest, Augustus stood in the living room of the castle and watched the two of them go upstairs and leave, during which he remembered the question of Lady Mary raised by Arthras during the meal, Augustus looked at Artelas's back and quietly teased。

I'm afraid that this young master Artoras, who was so clever that he was almost wise, could not have known that the maid who sent him back to his room happened to be Lady Mary's maid too.

Turned around, very unusually, did not walk back to the study, but led the small belly of Jerina out of the castle, Augustus and little Lori turned along the grass in front of Alfred's castle, and finally stayed in the shadow of the castle side, looking up at the hazy and bewitching dusk full moon in the night sky, the abnormal whereabouts of the two of them undoubtedly added a little obscurity to the night, and also faintly revealed the taste of conspiracy.

The impatient little Lori was obviously not good at waiting, and before she could stand for long, she asked Augustus again: "Are you sure he will come?"

Augustus nodded patiently and reaffirmed, "I will definitely come." ”

In the night, the corners of his lips were not dazzling, but little Lori seemed to be indeed stimulated, and mocked: "This is the biggest reason why the Lich Court was banished by you humans to the cold region north of the Siberian taiga, and it is also the only reason why noble shamans and powerful Titans have to be in the company of despicable orcs, and the complexity of your human minds may not even be fathomed by your gods." ”

Augustus smiled, ignored the little shaman's complaints, and said, "To correct me, the 'your God' in your mouth does not include me, my God can only be me." ”

What a heresy that deserves to be guillotined in front of St. John's Cathedral.

Little Lori smiled, I like this Augustus the most.

......

Didn't wait too long.

A burly figure walked out of Alfred Castle, and then gradually became clear from far to near, until he reached the shadow on the side of the castle, revealing his mature and steady face, which could only be Lord Stuart, who was a guest at Alfred Castle today.

There is an advantage to dealing with smart people, with little hint and a glance at each other's intentions.

He walked up to Augustus and the strange little girl who had given him a lot of excitement in the afternoon, and looked at the two figures, one large and one small, in a funny posture looking up at the full moon, and said in his usual steady and thick tone: "Your intention to ask me to meet in private is better interesting, otherwise I don't guarantee that our private meeting will be hidden from Artelas." ”

The attitude was really not friendly, and it seemed that the hatred of Alfred and Stuart made him not like Augustus in any way.

Of course, Augustus would not mind, he withdrew his gaze to look up at the full moon, looked at the Count of Stuart who had come as promised, and said with a smile: "I don't guarantee whether it will be interesting or not, but I believe that what I say next will be firmly remembered, speaking of which, Lord Count, I still don't quite understand, why did you choose Arthras in the end? Is it just because the news of the new diocese of the wasteland makes you think that Francis cannot reap the final fruits of victory?" But even so, there seems to be no reason for you to choose a side in a hurry, and it is perfectly possible to wait until Sauron is completely destroyed, and then it is not too late to make a choice when Francis and Alfred face off. ”

"And then join Francis in the fate of Alfred's destruction?" Stuart replied dismissively.

Augustus was slightly stunned and smiled: "I really didn't expect you to value me so much." After a pause, he thought for a moment and sighed: "I all know that you have the ambition to become the second giant of the wasteland, Sauron knows, but he doesn't think you have this ability, and Francis also knows, so he doesn't consider your ability, and directly promises you the position of the second giant of the wasteland, but unfortunately these people have forgotten the most important thing, which is your own attitude and thoughts. Of course, you must have this ambition, and the point is that you also know very well that it is impossible for you to sit firmly in that position, and this may be the biggest mistake made by Sauron and Francis, Sauron is wrong to underestimate your ambition, and Francis is wrong to underestimate your reason, and you must admit, Earl, you are indeed the most sane one in this wasteland. ”

Contradictory?

Not contradictory.

Stuart didn't know what Augustus's intention was to ask him out late at night, but he was obviously not interested in the nonsense that Augustus said, he frowned, and said in a deep voice: "If this is what you are going to say, then I promise, I will forget what you said when I turn around." ”

Dealing with such principled people is indeed a headache, Augustus smiled a little helplessly, and then his expression gradually became serious, and he said word by word: "No matter why you still choose Artelas, just the Earl, I hope you can sober up, is Artelas the same as before? Are you sure he will forget the ambiguous attitude of you standing by and watching the death of Marquis Sauron?"

Provoke.

In contrast to the subtle means of differentiation in the afternoon, Augustus was clearly a naked provocation.

Stuart sneered, if he didn't know the young man's wrist well, he almost wanted to laugh at the latter's childishness, would such a provocative tactic be useful?

Perhaps sensing Stuart's ridicule and disdain, Augustus said indifferently: "I can tell you responsibly that even if Arthras really fulfills his promise and becomes the husband of your little princess, the hatred he should remember will not be forgotten in the slightest." ”

The sneer and mockery dissipated instantly, and Stuart subconsciously narrowed his eyes deeply.

It was as if he wanted to see through Augustus' indifferent expression. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. (To be continued.) )
