This is the best period for Alfred to flourish, first of all, there is no need to worry about funding, and secondly, in the internal environment, because Douglas has just arrived in the wasteland, Sebastien has not yet come, it is difficult for anyone to stop Alfred's footsteps, and then there are external factors, the northern territory that Alfred needs to worry about the most, and because of the exposure of Empress Catherine, the lich launched a racial war, and the orcs have no chance to plunder the wasteland, Alfred can be said to have ushered in a golden age, Augustus also seized this opportunity very well, and quickly completed the necessary hardware facilities for Alfred's development in a short period of time。 Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Of course, under the surface prosperity, there was always a sword hanging over Augustus's head.

Hermitage.

Ever since he knew the real reason for Alfred's banishment to the wasteland, as well as the irreconcilable contradictions with the hermitage, Augustus has been on guard against a series of actions that the hermit may secretly have, and Mass also said that his relationship with Empress Catherine will inevitably distract the hermit from him, and it is even more impossible for him to be at ease, no one can face this ancient powerful organization head-on, let alone confrontation, and anyone can only be as small as an ant in front of the huge influence of the hermitage.

This is the only reason why Augustus had to contact Murphy as soon as he knew of his identity.

He thought of many ways, secretly tempting, false and wrong, etc., but in the end he decided to be open and honest.

Because he knew very well that if the monastic decided to do something to him, he would not be able to resist at all.

Murphy narrowed his eyes slowly.

He wouldn't be too curious about how Augustus knew his identity, the hermit is mysterious, but this mystery mostly refers to the core members of the hermitage, people like Murphy who have neither a prominent background nor a powerful power, it is difficult to hide the traces they left in the world, if the really high-ranking and powerful people want to check, they can always find them, such as the papal sun behind Augustus, after all, they are all believers in God.

So Murphy, who didn't intend to deliberately hide it, nodded very calmly: "Formal members? It should be counted, but in fact we don't have the so-called formal informality, I have to correct your concept, we are not a crazy organization, nor are we so tightly organized, we are together just because we have a common ideal, we are united in the glory of the Lord, watching and helping each other, and also to make this world a better place." ”

Augustus expressed understanding.

Although I will subconsciously feel again in my heart, this group of madmen can say that the destruction of the world is so noble and great.

Murphy smiled relievedly, now that he had confessed, he didn't have to hide a lot of words, he also knew a little about the matter between Alfred and the hermitage, he smiled: "But I now know that the reason why you invited me to come with me is that I am worried that the hermit will not give you time to develop Alfred and destroy your plan to realize your huge idea?" If yes, then you really don't have to worry, although I am a member of the hermitage, I currently have only one identity, Miss Eliya's personal butler, I am here, it has nothing to do with you, I just want to help my young lady accomplish what she wants to do. ”

"Also for Illya's mother, Vanessa. ”

Augustus raised his eyebrows, obviously skeptical, and mocked: "That's it, but if it's just to bury Douglas, it's not a very easy thing for you?"

Murphy explained a little helplessly: "You may still not understand us, even if even I don't know the real power that those adults have, but we are not together to destroy a certain person or a certain family, but to change the world, I don't know if you can understand this? Douglas This matter is my personal matter after all, I belong to the hermitage, but I am free in soul." ”

Augustus, who somewhat understood what Murphy meant, thought this group of madmen was too interesting.

He was skeptical, "Are you sure that your coming to the wasteland has nothing to do with the monastic behind you?"

"Pretty sure. ”

Murphy spread his hands, hesitated, and said, " Personally, I suggest that you don't have to be too wary of us, and I can tell you that before I came to the wasteland, the adults above me also mentioned you, and the adults did not plan to do anything to you at the moment, and there were a few adults who felt that you should be persuaded to agree with our ideas to join us, so that many things would be easier to deal with, and of course, there were also a few adults who thought that you would never join us, and they stubbornly thought that cutting off a person's head was far easier than changing a person's mind. And I agree with the former. ”

It's no wonder that in the months since returning to the wasteland, he has not felt threatened by the Order.

It turned out that their attitude towards him was divided.

It suddenly occurred to Augustus that since the monastic had a different attitude towards him, did it mean that the Mass or Queen Diana had the same considerations?

He felt he had a good chance of using that to plan.

Even if the danger factor is infinite, one wrong step will be doomed, but most importantly, this is the only place where he can help little Terina.

It would make it easier for her in the North, even if it was just a little, and Augustus would still be willing to do anything.

......

Walk around the entire Saiyan New Town.

On the way back to Alfred's Castle, Augustus put aside the question that Murphy was a member of the Order, and asked Murphy what his plans were for burying the Douglas family next.

Murphy felt complicated, knowing that he was a member of the monastic, but he could still talk to him calmly about the cooperation in the future? Doesn't he mind that he is his worst enemy in some way compared to Douglas? This young Earl of Alfred really has a big heart, he shook his head lightly, and said calmly, there is no plan, my young lady and I basically put our hopes on you, no matter what plan you have, all we have to do is to fully cooperate with your plan.

Augustus seems to be smiling, it is you who want to bury Douglas, but don't you want to do anything at all?

How familiar the bargaining trick is, Augustus, who was a big businessman in his previous life, is indeed good at fighting for his best interests in this way.

It's a pity that his skill may be useful to Arthras, but it is not useful to Murphy, who is experienced enough, Murphy just shrugged his shoulders and smiled, and said lightly, My young lady is indeed doing such a thing, but we can wait, you don't seem to have time to wait, right? So my young lady is willing to cooperate with you, which is already our greatest contribution.

That seems to be the case.

Augustus quickly gave up his petty means, and asked, If I decide to wage war against Douglas, I want to know what preparations you and your young lady have, or what help they can offer me?

Murphy said without thinking, intelligence, and then paused, and said, Speaking of intelligence, I can tell you now that Sebastian of the Rodrian's family should be coming soon, and the day before yesterday, Count Douglas personally received guests from the imperial capital in Francis's castle.

Augustus narrowed his eyes suddenly, and said sensitively, when is it?

Murphy shook his head and looked at Augustus with interest, do you think Douglas would easily let us know these things after the canyon attack?

Yes, Earl Douglas will not be arrogant to the point of stupidity.

Augustus pondered and did not speak again.

Sebastian's imminent news forced him to react quickly, which actually meant that his short free days were almost over, and a never-ending war was coming.

Go all the way to the meadow in front of Alfred Castle.

Looking in the direction of his study, Augustus asked Murphy the same question he had asked Illya not long ago, did they really not care about the anger that Douglas might have when they came to Alfred's castle so unscrupulously?

This question made Murphy frown slightly, and he thought that there were two possibilities, one was that Douglas's conceit made him not worry about his heir at all being a real threat to him, even if Illya and his enemies colluded. Otherwise, why would he allow Murphy to become Illya's personal butler? Could he really not know that Murphy used to be Vanessa's fiancé? This is impossible, Augustus can find out, how can Douglas not know anything about it? and Vanessa, Murphy feels that Douglas should be guilty deep down, so he is willing to indulge Vanessa's daughter, including making Murphy her personal butler.

Guilty?

Augustus smiled, and the bloody and tyrannical Douglas would have learned guilt?

He finally asked Murphy how much he hated Douglas, who had taken away his fiancée.

Murphy was silent for a long time, and then told Augustus with a blank face that he actually didn't hate Douglas so much, because there were too many nobles like Douglas in this world who were worthy of hatred, and he couldn't hate it, and he didn't have the strength to hate, besides, there was Illya, wasn't it?

Augustus felt more and more that the logic of the monastic was beyond the comprehension of a mortal like him.

......

Back in the study, Elizabeth and Illya were still reading books around the desk, and it could be seen that the two girls should have found a common hobby in books, and noticed that Augustus was back, Elizabeth looked at Illya, and told Augustus with her eyes that she had appeased the heir of Douglas, Augustus looked at Illya, and noticed that Illya was also communicating silently with her personal butler, he didn't say anything, and the time was not early, almost Illya and Murphy should go back.

Before they left, Augustus pulled a book from the bookshelf and said it was for Murphy.

'Flowers in the blood'

When he first learned about Murphy's background, Augustus did feel that he was similar to the protagonist in the book in some aspects, although his background was very different, one was the destruction of his own family, and the other was the destruction of his fiancée's family, but they all did the same thing, they were all trying to destroy a huge family by themselves, speaking of which, Augustus even felt that Murphy was probably behind Douglas's banishment to the wasteland.

He did think highly of Murphy, and not just because Mass had said that the members of the monastic were the best people in the world.

Murphy looked at the book handed by Augustus and did not accept it.

He looked down at Illya, who stood beside him as delicate as a porcelain doll, with a gentle look in his eyes.

Then he pushed back Augustus' hand and he said, I've read the book and it's boring.
