Walking on the most prosperous main street in the bustling Bucreo business district, looking at the towering buildings on both sides of the road that stretch straight and straight, almost forming two parallel lines, it is difficult for Augustus not to feel shocked, especially the many buildings on these two lines are also mostly Rococo architectural style, delicate and cumbersome, either there are huge stone pillars standing in front of the building, or stone balls of the same size are winding along the white walls, so that Augustus, a hillbilly from the wasteland, is easily addicted to it; , didn't talk much, didn't pay much attention to Augustus, made Augustus inexplicable, because after all, he was a time traveler, and it was impossible for him to witness such a spectacular picture in his previous life, but what reason did little Lori have to be so shocked? Could it be that when the shaman empress Catherine still existed in this world, there was no such gorgeous and prosperous scene on this continent? If so, how old did little Lori's powerful soul be?
Augustus was very curious, but seeing the little Lori constantly shuttling through the shops on both sides of the road, he still didn't ask this question that he had been curious about for a long time.
It was Queen Terina's private secret after all.
"It's no wonder that generations of people in the wasteland have longed to return to the imperial capital, it's not just the difference between heaven and hell. ā
Squeezed in the crowd of people one after another, Augustus sighed lightly and stopped at the same time, he saw a shop specializing in selling magic props and potions, and was hesitating to walk into the wasteland There is no shop on the wasteland, I don't know when the little Lori who has run to the other side yells, Augustus can only helplessly turn around and walk towards the little Lori, ignoring the disdainful eyes of the pedestrians around them to the two out-and-out hillbillies occasionally handed over, he walked behind the little Lori, and also looked at the blood-red crystal that made the little Lori scream excitedly- This is a jewelry store, the window displays all kinds of luxurious and brilliant jewelry, worn on the body of a scantily clad woman, it looks charming and eye-catching, especially this blood-red crystal, against the background of snow-white skin, the little Lori who has no resistance to the color of blood itself is strange.
"Augustus, I want it!"
It's like having a deep hatred with that crystal, little Lori gritted her teeth.
Augustus smiled, did not refuse, of course he couldn't refuse, the little queen was by his side but rarely took the initiative to ask, he greeted the jewelry store waiter who came over, thinking in his heart that this crystal was estimated to touch thousands of gold coins, hiding his distress, he quietly pondered that if it didn't exceed 5,000 gold coins, he would grit his teeth and charge a nouveau riche, but when the waiter with a professional smile said the true price of this crystal called 'blood diamond', Augustus was stunned for a moment, 35,000 gold coins? Don't say you can't afford it, even if you can afford it, it must not be an acceptable price for the poor egg Augustus, so without any hesitation, Augustus turned around and smiled with little Lori with some embarrassment: "Is it okay to buy it next time?" ā
"In fact, if you don't buy it now, it's likely to run away and run to the neck of another lady. ā
The waiter of the jewelry store hated to add oil and vinegar, although he still wore a professional smile, but perhaps from the completely undisguised turtle temperament of Augustus and Terina, these two hillbillies could not afford it, and the waiter's eyes were already full of mockery. This is not surprising, in the imperial capital where the nobles are all over the place, it can be roughly divided into three types of people, one is the poor, the other is the rich, and then the nobles, and because there are too many nobles in the imperial capital, basically the real nobles will hang their family badges on their chests when they go out, and they dare to try to covet the precious 'blood diamonds' in their stores, and they are really sorry for their superior status in front of the hillbillies.
So not surprisingly, the waiter's fanning made Xiao Lori more and more resolute.
"No, I want it now!"
Augustus had a headache, theoretically speaking, the most important thing he should do at this time was to take out a large amount of gold and smash it on the face of the waiter who looked down on people, and then pull the wind to put the 'blood diamond' on Queen Terina's neck, but in fact, he really couldn't touch such a large amount of gold, so he could only say more embarrassedly: "Then can we buy it when we come back after we finish our business?" I can't carry so much gold with me." ā
"Liar, I want it now!"
"Don't lie, I'll definitely buy it for you when I go back. ā
"Liar, you're a liar!"
Little Lori's voice is getting farther and farther away from the jewelry store, not sensible and compromised, but under the gloating eyes of the waiter, Augustus forcibly dragged her away, this is really a boring life for the waiter, a particularly interesting picture, man, seeing another man embarrassed in front of a woman, and still a beautiful woman, always feel comfortable, even if it has nothing to do with him.
Augustus walked with difficulty.
Little Lori looked at the jewelry store pitifully, almost dragged upside down by Augustus.
Then walked about 30 meters away, looking at the little Lori next to him who was still turning back three times one step at a time, Augustus finally let go, and said helplessly: "Do you really want it so much?"
Poor little Lori nodded desperately: "I really want it that much." ā
Touching his chin, his eyes were on the face of the little Lori, and after hesitating for a long time, Augustus said, "Then I'll go and bring it to you." ā
It's a take, little Lori may not have noticed, and asked suspiciously: "But don't you have no gold?"
Augustus crouched down, holding the petite shoulders of little Lori with both hands, and he pointed to the end of the street: "Wait for me there, I'll come over soon." ā
The confused little Lori bit her finger thoughtfully, but finally walked to the end of the street alone.
In the middle, she turned back halfway and saw Augustus casually picking up a cyan brick from the ground.
Soon, the sound of glass shattering, the instant clamor of the crowd, the screams of women, and the roar of waiters after a brief collapse filled the streets, and also caused a rare chaos in the business district of Bukru.
Little Lori, who was standing alone in the middle of the street, looked at little Augustus running wildly, with complicated eyes.
Then she pointed to him in the crowd running towards her, crossed her hips, and laughed rampantly.
What a lunatic.
......
"Is it worth it? To own a jewelry store here, at least the boss behind the scenes has enough strength background in the imperial capital, not to mention that this itself is likely to be the property of a certain big nobleman, even if it is just a rich man's industry, but he must also have a certain strong backstage, so according to your character of always caring about interests, this is not only not a benefit for you, but it is likely to make you offend a big man for nothing, shouldn't it be the most stupid thing? Besides, you just got the Imperial Capital Patrol to pay attention to you when you arrived in the Empire, Augustus, why are you doing this?"
Feeling that his knightly power was used to rob unexpectedly smoothly.
Augustus turned to look at Terina, who was casually playing with the 'Blood Diamond', and didn't care at all about the 35,000 gold coins and expensive jewels in his hand, he smiled and said: "Put down your good shaman queen and don't do it, don't go to the wasteland to help me do a series of inexplicable things, this time it's even more risky to be detected by the Holy See to come to the imperial capital with me, is it worth it?"
Little Lori thought quietly.
Then she shook the 'blood diamond' in her hand, and she said, "It's worth it." ā
Augustus smiled, rubbed the bright blonde hair of the little Lori, and did not speak again.
......
Walking through the Bukru business district, following the road inquired in the morning, and making sure that the Imperial Capital Patrol did not chase after him, Augustus led Queen Terina to the Imperial Capital Dodge District, where they were inhabited by the largest and most majestic old nobles of the Holy Empire, and it is said that many decisions or events that led to the earthquake of the Holy Empire, eighty percent of which were sourced in the Imperial Dodge District.
Of course, the current Augustus has absolutely nothing to do with the heart of the Empire.
This time he came to the Empire, in addition to picking up Elizabeth, and then trying to find out what his father had done in the Empire Augustus, the reason why he came to the Dodge District, in fact, there can only be one reason, that is, Albert, because anyway, Albert is also the one who led Augustus to the knight's path, in a sense, he is also the only teacher of Augustus, so of course it is necessary for him to visit Albert as soon as he arrives in the imperial capital, so before leaving the wasteland, he already knows whose subordinate knight Albert is, and Albert's master is really prominent in the Empire, which can be called the most special one, Augustus found the Dodge District, and it was only natural that he appeared directly in front of Albert's mansion.
Queen Diana's mansion is located on the southern edge of the Dodge District.
Of course, the Queen is only a title for the Chief Secretary of State of the Empire, Diana Van Domhain.
The name of the entire Holy Empire, large and small, and even many people in the royal family.
Augustus and Terina appeared in front of the door of Queen Diana's mansion, and told the servant who came out of their intentions, the servant first looked at the two strange guests repeatedly with questioning eyes, and then it may be that Albert's popularity in the mansion is not bad, the servant did not look down on people like the waiter in the jewelry store, hesitated for a moment, and finally led Augustus and Terina into Queen Diana's mansion, pointed to a middle-aged man in the garden on the lawn with his back to them, and the servant shouted loudly in a very casual tone: "Albert, someone is looking for you. ā
A picture of Augustus collapsing once again slowly unfolds.
The middle-aged man with his back to them turned around in wonder, and saw Augustus and Terina stunned at first, then seemed to finally recognize them, and he smiled with a familiar smile, reaching out with one hand to scratch his messy hair, and the other hand holding the scissors he used to trim the garden, as if he had completely forgotten and did not care that his hands had once held a spear and blinded a dragon.
This is Albert, the first knight of the continent. (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.) )
