Matthew was stunned, his face was confused, as if he didn't know what Augustus was talking about, he looked at Augustus strangely, and noticed that the latter's expression did not show any hesitation or hesitation at all, he realized that Augustus was not just guessing, but sure that he had a great relationship with Austin, which made him no longer pretend to be puzzled, and after his expression gradually eased, he smiled again and asked casually: "How did you guess?"

Augustus didn't make any mistakes: "Even if you are a businessman, as the heir of the Horned Eagle Beast, you don't have to go outside the city to solicit customers, right?"

"That's right, I'm in a hurry, but I can't help it, I heard that you arrived in Lyon, I have to confirm your identity. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Now that my identity has been confirmed, what are you going to do with me?"

"It's not my turn to deal with it, it's just enough to keep you in Lyon as a guest, and in the next two days, Austin will come. ”

Augustus nodded slightly, his expression still calm, and he suddenly pointed to the two entourages behind Matthew: "The question is, do you think the three of you can keep me?"

"No, no, of course I don't mean to despise you, although I don't know what the damn Titan is all about, but please believe that after passing through the imperial capital, even Austin they don't dare to despise you anymore. Matthew hurriedly explained, and his smile became even brighter: "I just came over to confirm your identity first, when I left the city, the knights were already gathering, and I should also go out of the city at this time." By the way, don't underestimate these two guys behind me, please allow me to solemnly introduce you: Baron Titan, the head of the knights of Lyon, and the other is the Knight of Huron, who is also the leader in charge of the security of the Count's Court of Lyon. ”

It's really quite well prepared.

Augustus' expression remained unchanged, and since Violet Manor had almost died again, he seemed to have become deeper and deeper, and it was harder and harder to see the true change in his mood on his face.

His calmness made Young Master Matthew extremely puzzled, and he finally couldn't help asking, "You don't seem to be nervous? Why is that?" The news from Austin said that your old butler with the strength of the Sword Master should not be by your side to deal with some other things, then only you and this beautiful young lady are left, do you really think you still have a chance to leave?"

Augustus sighed quietly.

Sure enough, the sissy young master Quentin of the Pompey family is not credible?

Otherwise, how would they have known that old Vernon would have gone on to deal with something else?

It seems that the intricacies between the imperial capital, and even these noble young masters in the empire, are far more complicated than he imagined.

He shook his head: "No, you did a good job, according to your preparation, I should have to go with you to Lyon City, but unfortunately, whether it is you or the Austin gang, you still don't know me well enough after all, and I don't mind telling you - since I came to this world, I will not trust anyone but me." ”

Matthew couldn't understand what Augustus was trying to say for a while.

He frowned and looked at Augustus, completely confused about what it had to do with whether he believed in others or not.

And then.

While Matthew was thinking but couldn't find an answer, Augustus, who signaled Elizabeth to retreat a little, suddenly got up, he didn't hesitate, and didn't give Matthew much time to react, he reached out and snatched it towards the delicate long sword at Matthew's waist.

Matthew was originally standing in front of Augustus, less than 5 steps away, plus he categorically didn't expect this guy to make a sudden move, it was difficult for him to fight back, he could only subconsciously avoid it sideways, and his avoidance was equivalent to exposing Baron Titan behind him directly in front of Augustus, in fact, this is Augustus's real goal, when he spoke just now, he had vaguely judged that the strongest personal strength among these three people should be the leader of the Horned Eagle Beast Knight, of course he didn't expect to be able to kill this baron, what he wanted to do was to prevent him from approaching the heir of the Horned Eagle Beast。

Today, Augustus, although his injuries have not healed, has regained a lot of strength.

Stepping into the category of 'Domain Knight' and having a fighting strength equal to level 7, it shouldn't be difficult for Augustus to just want to stop Baron Titan.

But of course, it won't be too easy, no matter how much Baron Titan's strength is a full level higher than him, he can temporarily force Titan to take a step back, and it's entirely because his move is too sudden.

Huron, the knight on the other side, also reacted quickly, and when he got the signal from the embarrassed Matthew, he drew his sword and surrounded him.

Augustus could only retreat again and again.

But no one seemed to notice that the direction he was retreating in was exactly the opposite direction of Young Master Matthew.

......

In fact, the battle did not last long, and it can even be said that the curtain just began, and then it ended quickly.

The battle was interrupted by a frightened scream, which was familiar to everyone present, and the scream was obviously the voice of Young Master Matthew, which caused Baron Titan and the Knight of Huron to temporarily stop the siege of Augustus, turn to look at their young master, and see, I don't know when, and out of nowhere, an old man also appeared in the tavern, at this time, he was standing behind Young Master Matthew, a hand with a white glove tightly choked Matthew's throat, judging from his emotionless face, there was no doubt that he could easily choke that fragile throat at any time。

Titan and Huron no longer dared to act rashly.

Augustus patted the dust on his body casually due to the battle, as if nothing had happened, he walked back to Young Master Matthew very easily, thought about it, and explained: "I said I won't trust anyone, which means that I still have any cards in my hand, and I won't let people know at all, Austin said that Old Vernon is going to deal with other things, so why don't you ask him if he can make sure that Old Vernon won't come back in a short time?"

Young Master Matthew gritted his teeth.

It felt so humiliating.

Even if he was careful enough and fully prepared, how could he still face such a situation?

He finally realized that although Austin repeatedly emphasized that he should not despise this wasteland guy, he still looked down on him and underestimated him in his heart.

"I don't believe you dare to kill me!"

"Stupid. Augustus was expressionless: "Why don't I dare? Is it because I'm worried about the pursuit of the Knights of the Horned Eagle Beast? But you seem to have forgotten that there are so many people who want me to die, how many people do you rank?"

Matthew stopped talking, and it occurred to him that Austin had reminded him that this guy was crazy and that he would really do anything!

"Of course, you don't have to be afraid, I don't plan to cut off your head, what's the benefit? ”

Augustus walked up to Matthew, who had been choked by the throat by old Vernon, and patted him on the cheek, ignoring the latter's face flushed with humiliation, and continued: "But, as compensation for your malice towards me, you should then send me out of Lyon's territory until I am safe—I am not too much, right?"

Matthew gritted his teeth, still not speaking.

Augustus ignored him, looked at the gloomy knight Huron behind him, and said, "By the way, knight, there is something to trouble you, just now your young master said that the Knights of the Horned Eagle Beast should be on their way at this time? ”

The knight, who didn't dare to call the shots, slowly turned his gaze to his young master.

The more casual Augustus became, the more nervous Matthew became, and in fact, the last thing a great lord heir like him, accustomed to looking at everything, would do was put himself in danger.

He said in a deep and simple voice: "Do it!"

The knight glanced at Baron Titan, who was beside him, and finally stopped hesitating, and turned to walk towards the warhorse.

When he got on his horse, Augustus added: "If the Count of Lyon also chases him out, remember to tell him that I am relatively timid, don't get too close to me, and when I hear the sound of the knights trampling the earth, I may be nervous, and if I am nervous, although I will not kill his heir, but if Master Matthew is missing an arm or leg or something, it will be difficult for everyone to meet in the future." ”

Huron's footsteps paused slightly, and then rode his horse in the direction of Lyon.

Augustus watched his back fade from view, then he didn't stop there, turned around and grabbed Elizabeth.

Who would have thought that in these few short minutes, in Lyon's territory, he would completely dominate?

......

The carriage walked ahead, the speed was still not fast, and Elizabeth, who was accustomed to the difficult living environment, asked softly in the carriage, "Is it true that the Count of Lyon will not chase after him?"

Augustus smiled: "Don't worry, no, when we leave the territory of Lyon, we will go to the province of Noy, and then it will be really safe." After a pause, seeing that Elizabeth still seemed a little uneasy, Augustus explained to her again: "Maybe you haven't noticed, we have come all the way from the imperial capital, it is too quiet, whether it is the Holy See Inquisition, or Stanford or Austin, they don't seem to really stop us and pose a threat to us, this is very abnormal, the empire is their home turf after all, even if they don't leave the imperial capital, there should be no fewer people like Matthew who are willing to help them, but we haven't met until today, why is this?"

Elizabeth, who was already very smart, thought for a moment and hesitated, "Someone is helping us? This should be considered a good thing, right?"

Augustus smiled, nodded and did not speak.

But in fact, he just didn't want Elizabeth to worry, and his real thoughts could only be summed up in two words.

Not necessarily.

He even had a vague feeling that whoever was meddling in his affairs behind his back was most likely trying to drag him into a larger maelstrom.

Augustus didn't like the feeling of fate being pinched in the hands of someone else. (To be continued.) )
