There are two ways to return to Alfred, one is to bypass Sauron's territory and go north through Christopher's territory, and the other is to go back to Donald's territory in the south when you come, in theory, this should not be a difficult choice, but in fact, Augustus successfully suppressed many doubts about Christopher in his heart, and gave up the idea of going north, which is normal, and it is human nature to have an irresistible and powerful curiosity about unknown enemies, especially for people like Augustus who have a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder and a desire to control it, exploring Christopher's secrets is almost instinctively driven, so even if the carriage eventually drove in the direction of the Donald family's territory, Augustus on the road would still look north from time to time, curious and fearful, but at the same time greedy and covetous.

The carriage drove at a constant speed on the potholed dirt road.

Augustus in the carriage also staggered along the obscure roads of the magical realm under the whipping of Queen Terina.

In the past two days, Queen Terina has once again targeted Augustus' Mind Interference' systematically explained to Augustus what he had to pay attention to, just like when Augustus in Lorain Town unexpectedly used his magical talent to kill two level 5 swordsmen, Terina pointed out unceremoniously, but Augustus was lucky to get the flattery of the goddess of fate, and the two swordsmen were not wary of Augustus's magic at all, otherwise once he tore his illusion space or blocked the mental interference, Augustus, who would definitely be counterattacked, would only be slaughtered by others. In this regard, Augustus accepted it verbally and humbly, but he did not think so, not that he did not agree with Terina's concerns, the key was that in that case, if he did not take some necessary risks, it would be impossible for him to get out of the way.

Naturally, Terina couldn't detect the true caution of Augustus, who had already reached the peak of his emotions to conceal his emotions, and she finally concluded that Augustus's ' Whether the mind interferes with the power or not depends entirely on the degree of development of his soul power, which means that Augustus's magical talent will almost always maintain the same speed as the knight's talent to grow in parallel, this has both advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that as Augustus's soul power is transformed into physical power, his magical talent will also grow with it, and it will not get out of control very smoothly, and the disadvantages are more obvious, the knight's path itself is a thorny and rugged road, once Augustus's knight's path is stagnant, then his magical talent will not reach the top, and even if he can steadily move forward on the knight's path, I am afraid that it is impossible to become a rare 'mind interference' magician in this life.

Magician, that's a distant end.

Augustus, who couldn't even look that far with his neck broken, asked Terina pragmatically about the main manifestation of his magical talent growth, just like the growth of knight's talent, he would feel the strength and speed of power, what about magic?

This question, which was not a difficult question, was simply rejected by Queen Terina.

The reason is very simple, the path of magic is full of temptations, if Augustus knew in advance the fruits he could pick, she was worried that Augustus would be lost in the path of magic, such a thing has a significant exception at the moment, like Donald's heir, it is because Donald instilled too many prospects of magical achievements in the beginning, causing his heir to be lost in the world of magic.

So high and ambitious, he is definitely an illegitimate child born of a demon called temptation.

......

The carriage arrives at the city of the Nile in the Donald Domain.

In Nile City, there are still traces of the battlefield left by the Lich invasion, revealing the atmosphere of withering and desolation everywhere, which makes Donald Citadel, located on the edge of Nile City, look extremely lonely.

Donald Castle is not as majestic as Augustus imagined, and it is not the grand route of Alfred's Castle, but the style of blindly pursuing balance and perfect proportions, which is very appropriate to the Cradle of the Donald Family Magicians, 3-story castle, each floor is accurate to 3 meters 3 height after the decimal point, 7 rooms on each floor, and the distance between the doors is also guaranteed to be 3 meters 3, which is very unique, and can be called the perfect golden ratio in this world, but it is such a unique castle in the eyes of Augustus but it reminds him of the general style of a building in his previous life。

Jail.

Cage.

I'm afraid this is the abandonment of nobility, the magician Donald's family gave his children an alternative hint, once he stepped out of the cage and out of the confines of the wizarding world, it must be the magician that Terina said.

From a magician to a magician, it is not just a huge difference in realm and strength.

Augustus took Terina's little hand and stepped out of the carriage, and at a glance he saw the old Count Donald waiting behind the fence in front of the castle, trembling, older and weaker than not long ago, and there was no doubt that if it were not for the support of the butler beside him, the ruby scepter in his hand would definitely not be able to support his old body.

Augustus didn't dare to wait for the old earl to greet him, let go of Terina's little hand, refused the support of Donald's butler, he himself held Donald's thin arm with both hands and walked slowly, almost routinely After the superficial polite greeting, on the way to the living room of Donald Castle, the old count asked with difficulty: "Have you taken care of the matter over there Francis?"

Augustus nodded slightly, not hiding the genuine or false concern in his eyes.

As an ally and a junior, Augustus felt it necessary for him to show the respect he deserved for an old man who worked tirelessly for his family even with half his foot in the coffin.

"Francis will regret giving you this development time. The old earl held the scepter in his hand with difficulty, and the old spots on his face looked shocking, and he said: "Ten years of dormancy have indeed given Francis a strong wrist and a resolute heart, but he has not lost his courage when he is accustomed to caution? ”

After saying regret twice in a row, Augustus smiled and said, "I won't give him a chance to regret it." ”

Is this cruel? No, it's conceit.

Donald tilted his head and glanced at Augustus seriously, and said with emotion: "I don't know if I will regret my decision today when I lie underground in the future." ”

Augustus carefully helped the old count up the steps, was silent, and then said, "Your children will be proud of your decision today, and this is the honor you deserve." ”

The sunset bloomed on the castle, sprinkled on the young men and the old men, and the fiery red fox in front of the castle was extremely enchanting.

......

The dinner was a sumptuous dinner of a very high standard, and the paranoia of the wasteland nobles from the empire was also reflected in the details, just like Augustus, who inherited the title of Count Alfred, and got a peacock wing main course that matched his status, plus 5 kinds of meat with red tones as the main theme, 3 vegetarian dishes, a total of 9 dishes - in terms of numbers alone, from His Majesty the Emperor at the top of the pyramid, they were 13 emperors, 12 princes, 11 dukes, and 10 marquises. Descending to the earl, it happens to be the number 9, which seems very boring and boring, but all boring things are themselves the greatest pleasures of the so-called aristocracy.

Expensive crimson wine flows in the glass.

Augustus did not deliberately prevent the old count from drinking, it was disrespectful to the latter's proud status, and then at the table, it seemed that it was because of the crimson wine, Donald's face was much ruddy, and he looked at Augustus, whose elegant demeanor was completely in line with his noble status, and he sighed: " Even if I saw you leave the wheelchair with my own eyes, I really can't believe that the things in your territory of Loran Town were done by your own hands, Augustus, I know that before Alfred was attacked, you had one of the few amazing talents in the Fighting Qi Realm in the wasteland, but how did you manage to kill two level 5 swordsmen? To be honest, when I first got the news, I couldn't believe it at all, and even if it was confirmed later, I still couldn't believe it, I'm afraid that the nobles of the entire wasteland were shocked by you at that time. ”

Augustus smiled and joked, "Since that bitch of the goddess of fate has held Alfred to hell for three whole months, it is not too much to throw a few comforting winks when she finally lets go." ”

That's not going to answer.

The unhealth of his body did not affect his shrewd mind, and Donald coughed lightly and asked no more questions.

Augustus saw that he couldn't stop Queen Terina's very unreserved way of dining, so he had no choice but to give up, and he said casually: "By the way, Earl, as for what I told you before, about the diversion of the Nile River from your territory to the town of Greene in Alfred, my first plan is to carry it out as soon as possible, you shouldn't object, right?"

The old earl looked up in surprise, when Augustus mentioned this matter to him, he thought that the young Alfred at the helm was just casually speaking, but now it seems that Augustus is really going to carry out this huge project? He frowned, and asked frankly: "The key problem is that you don't seem to have the basic conditions to carry out this project, right? It must be clear that the excavation of the Nile requires not only tools, but more importantly, manpower and material resources. ”

Augustus, who put down the tableware, smiled and shrugged: "It just so happens that the most important thing Alfred lacks at the moment is people, and this group of people is idle anyway." ”

Donald, who was still a little dazed at first, suddenly brightened his old yellow eyes, and finally remembered the intention of Augustus to leave those civilians behind him, which made him puzzled.

He stared deeply at the young Augustus opposite, and after a lifetime of glory and disgrace, he had a feeling called 'terrible' in his heart.

He knew that this was probably Augustus's first step in the layout of the entire wasteland, and the wasteland had completely become a chessboard in the hands of the young Earl Alfred.

At this moment, eight words came to the old earl's mind without warning: he will rise and be unstoppable.
