When Augustus woke up, it was not yet dawn, the house was dilapidated, the lights were dim, the only thing that could still be seen was that the bed he was lying on was quite comfortable and tidy, his first reaction was to feel a heart-rending pain in every inch of skin on his body, and then he woke up, it was strange that he was so badly injured and bleeding so much, how could he survive in this world where there were no first aid measures and no complete set of medical conditions?

He quickly thought of Terina, when he was on the verge of a coma, when Terina's tears fell on his chest, he seemed to feel a lot more relaxed, but he thought it was a hallucination before death, and he didn't think too much, but now it seems that his injury is really related to Terina? Thinking of Terina, Augustus suddenly felt a pain in his heart, before he was completely unconscious, he remembered very clearly, little Terina was lying beside him weakly and weakly, and told him with tears in her eyes that she was going to leave and might never see him again...... That scene was so deeply ingrained in Augustus's heart that he couldn't even breathe. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It's all his fault.

It was he who overestimated himself and underestimated the enemy that caused such a bad result.

The reason why he dared to appear in Violet Manor was originally a big gamble, he wanted to know everything about the Alfred family, so he tried to use everything he had to bet on whether Queen Diana, who was manipulating behind his back, would watch him die, and if Queen Diana didn't make a move, then whether Alfred had other secrets in the empire. Now it seems that he lost this gamble completely.

But Augustus did not hate.

He will not hate Queen Diana, nor will he hate the enemies who want to kill him, because his experience in two lives has made him know early on that many things really have nothing to do with right or wrong, but only a matter of position and perspective, and whether to do it or not. Just like Count Clark wants to kill him, it is Clark who thinks that he deserves to die, and he also has the ability to kill him, so he does it, and if one day Augustus is strong enough, I believe that he will also send all his enemies to hell without mercy under the premise of a certain necessity.

Therefore, if you really want to hate, Augustus will only hate himself.

It was his misjudgment that caused him to lose the only person who had good intentions for him in this world full of malice.

Even in a way, Queen Terina may not be considered human.

Augustus quietly clenched his palms, and one day, no matter where he was, no matter how terrible and dangerous the North was, he swore that he would find Terina.

......

The door was pushed open, and Augustus turned his head to find that the sun was already shining.

Elizabeth had obviously not slept all night, she walked to Augustus's bed with clear water, Augustus could also tell from her mental state, he smiled apologetically, let Elizabeth help him wipe his face and hands, and he asked them where they were now and how he got here. Elizabeth didn't hide it, but she obviously couldn't accept Augustus's almost death, she just said that they had left the imperial capital, in a small town called Sulan, and as for the adventurer she hired in advance, she only briefly mentioned it, without saying much, and didn't let Augustus know about the danger of that adventurer.

Augustus certainly understood Elizabeth's reason for being angry.

But he wouldn't explain that he was an extremely paranoid man himself, and certainly wouldn't put the heavy pressure on Alfred that he was carrying alone.

After a brief grooming, Elizabeth looked at the gauze all over Augustus's body, and noticed that there were blood stains faintly coming out, she hesitated, but still told Augustus that there seemed to be a knight looking for him outside.

Knight?

Augustus thought for a moment, and was just about to speak, when he saw old Vernon waiting at the door of the room with a female knight.

His eyes narrowed.

Messiah.

Although Augustus didn't know her name at the time, he must have been impressed by the female knight of the Inquisition, and she almost killed him anyway, if it weren't for the arrangements made by Queen Diana and Lucia the courtesan at the monastery of Attila, he would have died a long time ago, so seeing this politically minded female knight again, Augustus was very curious about her intentions.

After?

Unlikely, otherwise Old Vernon wouldn't have brought her over.

He guessed, and motioned for the Messiah to come in, but fortunately, the female knight was as straightforward as before, she stood in front of Augustus's bed, and said, "I'm here to get my necklace back." ”

Augustus suddenly understood.

Today's Messiah is wearing a snow-white shirt under his black cape, and small leather boots under his wide-legged pants, which looks very tasteful, and Augustus did not see it until this time, it turns out that the woman who almost killed him that day is indeed very beautiful, but contrary to the soft beauty of the courtesan Lucia, the Messiah, who seems to be forever blank, is born with a cold temperament that is not interested in anything around him.

Augustus rubbed the cross necklace in his pocket, thinking about the questions he had asked Sophia that day, he did not mean to return the necklace to the knight, but smiled a little mockingly: "You came to look for your necklace like this? This is really not the attitude of the 'man who left your beautiful head', you seem to have forgotten, you almost succeeded in killing me that day, why should I give it back to you?"

The one who left your beautiful head.

The Messiah, of course, knew what Augustus was referring to, and she admitted that Augustus did have the power to kill her that day.

The cold lines of her face softened slightly, but her tone was still stiff: "At that time, I hunted you down because you were on the blacklist of the Inquisition, and your ranking was not low, and now it's because I received an order from an adult that I will not interfere in your affairs in the future, I hope you can understand." ”

"Understand, how can you not understand. ”

Augustus smiled suddenly: "Understandable is understandable, you can't just let me forget the things you once did to me just because of your two simple words, right? ”

Messiah bit his lip and frowned slightly, "Say your conditions." ”

Augustus, who was leaning on the head of the bed, narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked, "You must have come out of the monastery of Pachilla in the city of Neuferi, right? If I remember correctly, most of you should be working in the Holy Sacrament Department of the Holy See, how can you end up in the Inquisition? Or do you have your people in every department of the Holy See?"

Messiah's pupils constricted suddenly, and she seemed surprised at how Augustus could know so much, even about her origins.

But it didn't take long for her to think of something, and her expression relaxed again: "Is it that if I answer your question, you will return the necklace to me?"

Augustus was expressionless: "Probably or not." ”

After a pause, seeing that the Messiah was quietly frowning, he added: "But if you don't answer, I will definitely not give it back to you." ”

Even with political acumen, the Messiah could not have been an opponent of Augustus in terms of playing with language, and she said frankly: "You are right, I did come out of the monastery of Pakira, and I also told you, I first worked in the sacramental ministry, and then I applied to be transferred to the Inquisition, I just felt that I needed to get in touch with more, especially the dark side, and as for the rest of Pakira, in fact, I don't know much, and that has nothing to do with me." ”

She really doesn't seem to care about those things.

Augustus was silent, thoughtful, as if to himself: "In this way, what you said was ordered by the Lord, it should be the order of the Mass, but what does he want to do? With his prestige in the Holy See, there is no need for him to arrange for you people, right? What is he preparing?"

The monastery of Pakira is where the orphans were adopted in the city of Neuferi.

The same cross necklace, Sophia has, and the sacramental ministry enforcer who appeared at Violet Manor that day also has it.

These signs can only be gathered in the body of the Mass.

The Messiah ignored Augustus's self-talk, she didn't speak, but looking at the meaning of Augustus, it was actually just one, the necklace.

Augustus quickly gave up his speculation about the bishop of the Mass, the difference in status between the two sides was too great, and it was impossible for him to know what the Mass wanted to do, so looking at the Messiah, he finally said directly: "I need you to help me do something, I will return your necklace after I finish it, considering that you almost killed me at that time, I think my request is not too much, it should be fair." ”

"You say. The Messiah did not drag his feet.

This made Augustus wonder if she had come to Mass today, otherwise she would not have agreed so simply.

But no matter what, after all, this is only good for him, not bad, Augustus took out the sheepskin contract stained with his blood from his bosom and put it on the table at the head of his bed: "This is my bet contract in the Mammoth Roulette, betting on whether I can leave the imperial capital alive, and when to leave, unfortunately, I won this bet, but I can't go back to the imperial capital now to take my due gains, so I hope you can help me get it, this should be a very simple matter." ”

Mammoth Roulette.

Augustus, the madman, had taken Miss Angelina's jeweled sword worth at least 90,000 gold at that time, and made a heavy bet.

He bet that he would leave alive and that he would leave on the 13th.

It happened to be the day he left the imperial capital.

This may also be the biggest benefit that Augustus almost gained from dying in the imperial capital.

In fact, this madman, who is accustomed to doubting everything and analyzing and speculating on everything to the greatest extent, can't help but wonder if this is also what Queen Diana has planned - she says that everything she arranged was to see if he was qualified to inherit everything Alfred, and if the answer was yes, Augustus would be able to leave alive, was this gold an investment she had given as an investment in Alfred's rise?

If it were, Augustus felt that he had the opportunity, and he would have thanked her.

Thank you to her for the 'heavy' tip on his chess piece.
