Chapter 169: The Pianist
No wonder he didn't encounter any sniping from the nobles of the imperial capital or the heresy on the way back to the imperial capital from the monastery, it turned out that the return of Prince Colum and Sophia's coming-of-age ceremony tomorrow made them unnecessary to do more, and there was no need for Augustus to analyze and consider, he could easily conclude that at Sophia's coming-of-age ceremony, there must be a magnificent drama waiting for him, this is not suspenseful, and it is indeed the usual means used by the nobles and adults in the imperial capital, although Augustus is not very clear about the undercurrent hidden under the calm of the imperial capital, but in the imperial capital these days, he still knows a little about the contradictions and conflicts between the Zolo district and the Stanford areaTherefore, killing him at the coming-of-age ceremony of Her Royal Highness Princess Constantine can not only wash away hatred and shame with his blood, but also deter their potential enemies, and can also use this most cruel and bloody way to let Sophia, Constantine, and the arrogant Zolo know that the pride and glory of Stanford cannot be desecrated, let alone trampled on by anyone.

It's a lot of everything.
That is to say, tomorrow everything will be over. ”
Augustus stood silently in the crowd, and found that even if he had come to this point, he still did not have the slightest panic or worry, and even when he thought that everything would end tomorrow, his first reaction was that tomorrow was the first day he came to the imperial capital? At the beginning of the mammoth roulette, he made a heavy bet that he could stay in the imperial capital for 13 days, and then leave the imperial capital alive, according to 1/ The odds of 13, and counting Miss Angelina's sword inlaid with gems, is worth at least 100,000 gold bourbon coins, 13 times that of 100,000, Augustus suddenly felt that the mood that had been gloomy was much brighter in an instant, and happiness came too suddenly.
So the crowd cheered, and he laughed in the crowd.
The sun is shining.
It seems that the probability that he will be alive tomorrow is almost zero.
He finally raised his feet and squeezed into the crowd and walked in the direction of the Knights, but of course he didn't follow them, but since everything would end tomorrow at Violet Manor, there was no need for him to go there today, and the way back to Stone Town happened to be in this direction - speaking of which, it seemed that there had been no news of Queen Terina for a long time.
Walk alone through the noisy and jubilant crowds, walk through the flowers and glory of a place.
No one will notice him.
When they arrived at Stone Town, the ornate tavern was unsurprisingly deserted, apparently everyone was on the street to express their reverence and fanaticism to their Royal Highness Prince Colum, Augustus walked all the way upstairs to his room, almost no one was touched, at the door of the room, he hesitated for a moment before finally reaching out and pushing the door, and then there was no one in the quiet room, and Queen Terina really did not come back.
The cheering and noise downstairs continued.
Augustus stood in silence at the door for a long time before subconsciously walking to the window and pulling back the curtains to let the sunlight in.
His eyes were on the knights and the crowd at his feet, but what he thought in his heart was: That's fine, anyway, most of the people won't be able to live tomorrow, little Terina has paid a lot for him since she appeared next to him, and then let her face a desperate situation with him and face death, he will definitely feel quite guilty, if he is not there, it is best not to come back tonight, and not to appear tomorrow, although his trust in Albert is no longer pure, but he is the first knight in the continent, Albert should be able to give Terina absolute safety and send her back to the north?
Then, you can be your shamanic queen with peace of mind.
The little shaman should live happily and happily.
Augustus thought wildly, his eyes gentle.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
Augustus was stunned suddenly, and was about to turn around quickly, but he smiled bitterly inexplicably, yes, if Terina would knock on the door, then she would not be Her Majesty Queen Terina.
Theoretically, Elizabeth had no reason to know that he was back, could it be the waiter in Stone Town?
He didn't lift his feet, but said casually, the door was unlocked.
The door opened, and a handsome young man's face appeared in his field of vision, which made Augustus stunned for a moment, it was so surprising that he had never thought that he had come to him in the first place, and he had just returned, how did he know?
The young man casually closed the door, obviously aware of Augustus's unconcealed doubts, he smiled, showed his white teeth, stretched out his finger and pointed to the opposite side of Augustus's room, and explained: "I didn't follow you, but since I know that you live here, and I don't know where you are these days, I can only wait for you here, oh yes, I have been living opposite you for the past few days, so I can see you." ”
Augustus looked strange: "Aren't you still for that piano piece?"
The actual master of the Imperial Military Department, the most alternative and characteristic heir of the Pompey family, Young Master Quentin smiled, if it weren't for Augustus knowing his gender very well, he couldn't believe that a man could look so moving, he nodded again and again, walked in front of Augustus, the smell of precious perfume suddenly filled the whole room, his eyes were hot, he did not hide his intentions, and said directly: "Of course, I will not wait for you because you are handsome, right?" Speaking of which, have you changed the last paragraph of that piano piece? I still insist that the last piece you played that day was a failure, and that it involved too much of your personal emotions, Augustus, you know, as a pianist, the most important thing you should do is to present the perfect music, oh yes, I brought the piano with me, just across the street, would you be interested in trying again?"
Augustus completely collapsed.
He had just come back from hell and had just experienced a terrifying conversation that suffocated him, how could he have thought that the first person to come to him was actually Master Quentin?
He was speechless for a while, although he categorically would not approve of the other party because of the little kindness that Young Master Quentin showed before, but he really did not dislike Quentin, which caused him to really not know how to refuse him, and finally had to re-look at the knights who were walking farther and farther downstairs, he said helplessly: "But, do you really think that today before tomorrow, I will still be interested in touching the piano?"
Today before tomorrow.
Quentin certainly knew what Augustus meant by tomorrow, and although he was stubborn, even stubborn, and even stubborn and naïve, that didn't mean that he was a fool, in fact, he knew better than Augustus what kind of tragic situation awaited Augustus tomorrow.
But it was really unwilling to let him give up, especially if Augustus died tomorrow, what about the piano piece he had never heard such a beautiful piece of music?
He opened his mouth and stopped talking, but fortunately, reason finally prevailed over stubbornness, although his beautiful peach blossom eyes were full of regret and unwillingness, and finally a long sigh also showed his regret, but he still did not speak.
He stood beside Augustus.
Following Augustus's line of sight, all the way to the knights downstairs surrounded by crowds, and finally fixed his gaze on the golden armored knight at the front of the knighthood, he well concealed his ridicule and ridicule, and asked casually, "What are you thinking?"
Augustus was actually naturally repulsed by self-acquaintance, but it was still the same sentence, Quentin had given him limited help after all, and he was not good at being mean and blunt, so it was obviously perfunctory than answering, Augustus pointed to the young man in gold armor, and said casually: "I wonder if that armor is just the color of gold, or is it really made of gold?"
"It seems that today is your lucky day, and you are the right person. ”
Quentin smiled, exceptionally beautiful, and in the face of Augustus's question, he smiled: "I happen to know the origin of this armor, this armor is supervised by the Imperial Military Department, the material inside is not gold, but the surface is definitely genuine gold, and although it is not gold, you must have heard of the value of Gezuma's long-bearded sheepskin, plus several scarce magic arrays drawn on it by several masters of different elements under the third method from level 8 to at least level 8, various auxiliaries, magic resistance, Cumulatively, this armor is definitely more expensive than bulky armor made of pure gold. ”
"How expensive?"
"Let me explain like this, according to my general understanding of the abandoned wasteland in the past few days, don't look at me like this, in fact, since you appeared, there have been many people in the imperial capital who have finally remembered that the empire is still such a place as the abandoned wasteland- In the wasteland of your territory, if 30,000 Bourbon gold coins is enough to support all the people in your territory for a year, then this armor is enough for you to stop thinking about how your people will survive for many years, and this is only what you see, and what you can't see, just like the long sword on Columne's waist, Augustus, do you know how to calculate the value of a long sword with magic attached to it?"
Augustus listened with relish.
But when Quentin finished speaking, he suddenly asked without warning, "What exactly do you want to say?"
Quentin sighed.
They are all smart people, and the more he knows about it, the more he surprises him, the more Alfred at the helm must know what he wants to say, however, he still said frankly: "I want you to know the distance between the wasteland and the imperial capital, Augustus, you know, the more we know about the wasteland, the more we despise the wasteland, you come from that place, even if you have the skills and how smart and powerful you are, but why do you fight against the people in the imperial capital? Give up, don't do fearless struggles." ”
He met Augustus's gradually narrowing eyes, and said sincerely: "I now formally invite you to be my personal pianist, I can provide you with Pompey's protection, although I am not doing my job, but please believe in my weight in my father's heart, you can live or leave alive, as for your sister Elizabeth, as long as you can get out of that whirlpool, believe me, they will not embarrass her, and Sophia is also capable enough to ensure Elizabeth's safety." ”
Augustus was somewhat surprised.
He didn't know why the beautiful young master Quentin would try to help him, and he couldn't think of anything he could take advantage of - but in any case, in the imperial capital, Quentin was the first to show him kindness and want to help him.
He was a little moved.
But he couldn't accept it.
It's not about pride.
He slowly stretched out his hand, looked down at his hands, and said calmly, "Pianist, but I'm sorry, I want to use it to hold the throat of fate rather than hold the black and white keys with my hands." (To be continued.) )
