Chapter 13: Paranoid Arthras

Night covers the land. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The huge dragon's eye in Marquis Sauron's study exuded a soft and bright light, reflecting every corner of the study as if it were day, and also reflected the already embarrassed face of Marquis Sauron, he sat at the desk, his eyes on the list of various equipment in his hand, and did not take it off for a long time. Then he exhaled deeply, suppressing his restlessness, and finally put the list on his desk, looked up at Arthras, his proudest first heir, standing in front of him, and asked in a deep voice, "I wonder why you need this equipment that is enough to equip an elite knighthood of a hundred." ”

Arthras' expression was calm, his brilliant blonde hair accentuated by the soft light, and his already handsome face exuded a charming, tranquil quality that contrasted with Sauron's rage.

He has been like this since he was a child, and he has always believed that only by being able to control his emotions perfectly can he perfectly control himself, and then perfectly control everything he wants to control.

He didn't taunt his father to ask this question, he really shouldn't ask this question, but calmly faced his father's angry face, and he said: "Since the meeting has decided that Alfred will take on the responsibility of resisting the lich, then considering the current strength of the Alfred family, I think it is necessary for me to personally guard Elizabeth's side, and I will not allow her to receive even the slightest harm." ”

"But you should know that even if Alfred perishes, I will give you a complete Elizabeth, which is what I promised!"

"But you should also know that if Alfred perishes, then Elizabeth will no longer be a complete Elizabeth, and her heart will wither and wither with Alfred's demise, and that is not what I want. Father, you may not understand the meaning of my so-called protection, what I want to protect is all that Elizabeth has, so what Elizabeth wants to protect, of course, is also what I must protect. ”

Sauron clenched his fists angrily, yes, he admitted that Elizabeth was impeccable, and he quite agreed that his heir had such a perfect wife as Elizabeth, but he could not understand Artelas's paranoid logic at all, according to him, as long as he could get Elizabeth and have Elizabeth, then everything would be solved? What was the process, did it matter? Is it meaningful? Especially the so-called love of Artelas, he felt even more unreasonable.

Hell, how much can a copper bourbon coin buy?

Sauron really couldn't figure out how his heir, who was extremely proud of his talent in the realm of fighting qi and his mental strength, could fall into such a boring and boring question.

He sneered and said, "Yes, I can't understand your so-called guardianship. But Artoras, to this day, everyone thinks that the abyss that Alfred is about to usher in is entirely based on your coveting of Elizabeth, and that you caused Alfred to face such a fate in order to get Elizabeth, so do you think it is still possible for you to get what you call a complete Elizabeth?

"It's not something I can decide. Arthras frowned slightly, but quickly regained her composure, and said: "I can't decide what other people think, and I can't decide what Elizabeth thinks of me, but I can decide myself after all, I just need to know clearly that all this is not my intention, and it has nothing to do with me, so of course I can face Elizabeth calmly." ”

"With the starry sky above me, why should I care about these subtle imperfections under my feet. ”

A sudden sense of powerlessness finally made Sauron no longer hide his anger.

He anxiously and impatiently grabbed the list of equipment on the desk, and said very quickly: "Very good, I can't convince you, but I'm not dead yet, Sauron's helmsman is me after all, you want to protect your Elizabeth, then you go, but don't expect to take anyone from me." Artelas, I really want to know, but why do you protect your Elizabeth, who has just mastered the level 4 fighting spirit, one day you will know that if you take off the luxurious robe given to you by your father, you are nothing, without power, you are completely impossible to protect anything you want to protect, strength is the root of everything!"

Quite unusually, even when Sauron had spoken to this point, Arthras remained calm.

He said slowly, "The Sauron family has always had a tradition, once established as the first in line to the throne, it automatically has one-tenth of the family's strength, which is why I asked the Hundred Knights to equip it. Father, are you suggesting that you are about to disqualify me as the first in line to the throne by asking me not to expect any power from you?"

Marquis Sauron's face was filled with disbelief.

He could not have imagined that Artelas, whom he had poured all his heart and soul into, would say such a thing to him for the sake of a woman.

Can you even give up the status of Sauron's first heir?

He trembled his hands, and found that he could no longer speak.

......

Fortunately, the timely knock on the door temporarily alleviated Sauron's helpless anger, he could not cancel the qualification of Arthras as the first heir in line after all, even if he could no longer understand Artelas's stubbornness towards Elizabeth, but he had to admit that Arthras was definitely the heir of the Sauron family who was most likely to bring Sauron to glory in the past hundred years, and he had to pour all his heart and soul into Artelas.

He turned his gaze to Francis and Stuart, who pushed the door in, first nodded to them, then waved weakly, and said to Artelas, "We'll talk next time," and then put away the list of equipment on the desk and put it in a drawer.

Arthras sighed secretly, after all, knowing that this was no longer the right time to continue fighting, he bowed slightly, and then turned to leave the study without forgetting to smile and salute Count Francis and Count Stuart, completely without the indifference of the previous dispute with his father, and he was simply the image of a well-cultivated heir to Sauron.

"The party is over?"

Waiting for Arthras to close the door of the study, Sauron, who was sitting at the desk and did not get up, asked casually, the drinking party in his mouth was naturally the drinking party that all the participants would attend after the meeting, speaking of which, this year's meeting of Sauron is probably the fastest progress in these years, thanks to the contribution of little Augustus, if it were not for his last request, these adults were troubled by the problem of food and supplies that had to be invested in the civilians when retreating, because no family was willing to pay too much for that group of damned civilians, so every year each family would fight for the nearest retreat route, inevitably there will be strife and conflict, and then fall into endless noise.

Fortunately, there is Augustus this year, and all families can pass through Alfred's territory, and Alfred will provide food, which is really beautiful.

"Yes, Donald and Christopher have returned to their estate. ”

The first to speak was Count Stuart, who first answered Sauron's question, then hesitated, and finally frowned: "Sauron, are you really sure that next year you will divide the three regions of Dehe City, Saye, and Saiyan City to the Christopher family?

Dehe, Saye, and Saiya are all currently the domain of the Alfred family.

In fact, one of the most important parts of the annual meeting is the reshuffling and distribution of wasteland forces.

The resources left behind by the extinct family will naturally be redistributed.

"What about making him stronger?" Sauron replied with a blank face, probably because he hadn't fully recovered his mood, and he obviously didn't want to continue discussing the damn Alfred family, especially when he thought that his heir had made it clear that he wanted to stand on Alfred's side and not allow Alfred to disappear.

He looked at Francis.

Francis quickly shifted the question about Alfred, his already small eyes narrowed, and he smiled: "But about little Augustus, I have not been able to figure out until now, whether this poor boy is unscrupulous after knowing his fate, or does he really have his little conspiracy?

"Do you think Augustus is stupid?"

Instead of answering Francis's question, Sauron inexplicably asked such a question.

Francis and Stuart couldn't react for a moment.

But it is clear that neither what was said in the meeting nor the way he acted and how he behaved, maybe Augustus was not a smart and intelligent man, but he was definitely not stupid.

Sauron continued: "Of course, a proud, not stupid person will not choose to wait for death, and even if he does, he can only be pushed into the abyss and finally despair, and he will never commit suicide. ”

"As for his last request......," Sauron sneered, "it's just grandstanding, he just wants us to know that he won't sit still, he's definitely going to try to save his Alfred, and he's going to watch him save his Alfred, so from this point of view, this funny Alfred at the helm is really a proud and conceited child." ”

"But what else can he do?"

Sauron glanced at Francis, who asked the question again, he did not insult the other party's stupidity, he did enjoy the feeling of being attached, he said: "The lich has gathered in the northern taiga area, and he can't find any help in the wasteland, and even rejected the hypocritical olive branch of Donald's old fox, so what else can he think?"

The answer couldn't be clearer.

Sauron looked out of the window through the window next to his desk, and said indifferently: "Although it is meaningless, although he can only despair and cannot gain anything from this trip, if nothing happens, Augustus should have arrived in the Grand Canyon of the Alps at this time." ”

......

"Yes, my lord, there is the entrance to the Grand Canyon of the Alps ahead. ”

In the endless wilderness, holding a few torches that were not bright in the dark, Augustus in the bumpy carriage was reading the documents for too long, and while opening the window to blow the cold wind made him more sober, he also asked Katieoni next to the carriage in passing. Then with an accurate answer, he poked his head out and set his eyes on the entrance to the Grand Canyon in front of him.

In front of me, it was pitch black.
