Chapter 194: Gains and Losses
The carriage was on its way back to the moor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Augustus leaned against the wall of the carriage and thought of Terina again, remembering that Terina fell asleep in the wasteland at that time, and the first thing she said after waking up was very helpless to tell Augustus that the little devil in her body was about to recover, and Augustus certainly couldn't know what kind of existence the little devil Terina was talking about, according to him, it was probably something else produced after the rebirth of Terina's soul for a thousand years - but this is not important for the time being, the important thing is that this time the little Terina, who has seriously overdrawn her soul power, will fall into a deep sleep again? If so, will Terina, who is weaker than before, still be able to suppress the little demon inside her?
This is important.
Because although Augustus didn't know what level of magic the space door opened by Terina at that time, as long as he thought about it, being able to bring 4 Titan giants from the far north directly to the imperial capital was enough to prove that the gate must be unimaginably obscure, in this case, how could Terina, who had completely exhausted her soul power, stop the little demon in her body? If she couldn't stop it anymore, what would happen to the former Terina?
Will it die?
Or will it be a complete change to someone else?
What will little Jelena become?
The more Augustus thought about it, the more frightened he became.
But the cruelest thing is that he is helpless at the moment, and he can't do anything, let alone help Terina.
The only thing he could do was to stop thinking about these things for the time being, and he could only wait until he was strong enough to go to the north to take a look.
He took a deep breath, restrained his emotions, leaned against the wall of the carriage, no one could notice, his hands kept shaking, his face and his lips were no longer bloody, almost transparent.
......
After a long time, Augustus, who had finally relented a lot, looked up at Elizabeth, who was sitting across from him, and found that the latter was holding a novel called 'Flowers in Blood', and Augustus did not disturb her.
He had also roughly turned to that book before, it was written by a troubadour from the Diago Dynasty, which told the story of a lord of the Diago Dynasty who broke his family overnight, and after the whole family died, he tried his best to infiltrate the enemy's house with an unknown illegitimate son outside, and through his own talent and other means, he successfully attracted the attention of the enemy's lady, and then got married, and finally took revenge.
The ending was tragic, all dead, vengeful, avenged, including the illegitimate son, and the enemy daughter he married, none of them were alive.
For a girl of Elizabeth's age, this kind of story may be moved by all kinds of love and hatred intertwined in it, but for Augustus, it can only be boring and boring, for example, Augustus can't understand how this illegitimate son married the daughter of the enemy? You must know that the identity of nobles and commoners in this world is originally an insurmountable gap, so how absurd is it for the illegitimate son in this book to be mixed in the enemy's house and marry a noble lady with his own talent alone?
For Augustus, it was probably far more credible for the illegitimate child to be the young lady's male favorite than to be her husband.
In this case, the revenge plan may be more difficult, or even impossible to talk about.
He quickly withdrew his gaze from Elizabeth's hand.
Perhaps even he didn't realize that the longer he survived in this world, the colder his blood became.
......
There were some slight bumps in the carriage.
Augustus pulled out a blank sheet of paper and a quill and began to sort out everything he had encountered in the imperial capital, a deep-rooted habit of his previous life, and in everything he did, he would sort out his gains and losses in detail afterwards, starting with a list of what he had lost: the first was undoubtedly the unknown life and death of the little queen Terina, then his heresy might bring him all sorts of troubles for the Holy See in the future, then he had a group of enemies who were strong enough to crush him easily, such as Stanford, such as Austin, and finally, he wrote about his near-death。
However, he quickly crossed out the last strip with a quill pen.
It's like he made a lot of investments in his previous life, and the result was either a profit, a loss or a capital preservation, where is the so-called 'almost lost'.
That doesn't make sense.
Augustus felt that even his life could be measured in this way.
Then he listed what he had been given in words that no one in the world would be able to understand.
One is gold, the amount of which can be called a huge amount of gold, which should be enough for him to realize his vast ambition to initially build the wilderness into a dark court.
The second is the breakthrough of his personal strength, Albert, the first knight of the continent, once said that the path of a true knight is originally the process of transforming soul power into physical power, and the most critical part of this transformation is enough pressure, most of the pressure comes from himself, but the pressure that objectively threatens his life can give him more powerful strength when he is dying, so after experiencing the pursuit of the female knight Messiah, and the life of the manor, Augustus is already standing at this time. The realm knight's category is equivalent to the level of level 7 fighting strength - and considering that in the wasteland, the once most powerful Marquis of Sauron also has a level 7 fighting power, it is enough to be sure that Augustus, who is only 18 years old, is amazingly talented.
Not to mention the fact that Augustus's unique 'mental interference' seems to have been able to form his own mental space.
The third is about Alfred, Augustus at least knew that there was the shadow of the chief secretary of state of the empire, and he also knew very well that he couldn't try to find out all the things about Alfred at present, and once he wanted to get involved in it without his might, the consequences were likely to be unbearable for him at the moment.
He gently placed the quill in the inkwell.
On paper, when he came to the imperial capital, he gained far more than he lost.
But as long as he thought of Terina, who did not know life and death, Augustus felt that it was meaningless for him to get more.
Nothing can compare to Terrina - it's anything.
......
The carriage slowed down slowly, as if to stop.
Augustus realized that she didn't know when Elizabeth had walked out of the carriage and walked back, she obviously noticed that Augustus also put down the quill in his hand, and met Augustus's inquiring look, Elizabeth looked at Augustus's extremely pale face, and said softly: "It's almost time to Lyon, there is a place to rest on the side of the road, do you want to stop and see?"
Augustus, of course, understood what Elizabeth meant, and he smiled and stood up.
Old Vernon told Augustus that the last sniper he encountered on the way back to the north with Queen Terina that night was the Knights of the Hippogriff of the Horned Eagle Beast in Lyon, so since he was going to pass by here, Augustus must want to see where Terina had stayed - this was actually the point that touched Elizabeth the most, she could always accurately grasp Augustus's mind, know what he wanted to do, and then make preparations.
They stepped out of the carriage.
Standing beside the carriage and looking at the huge city of Lyon not far away, thinking of the Count of Lyon in the city, Augustus slowly narrowed his eyes.
He was eager to go in and ask the Count of Lyon if he had seen a little girl that day.
By the way, the little girl was supposed to be sitting on the shoulders of a Titan.
