Chapter Seventy-Two: Ourano
It is categorically impossible to produce the so-called reluctant parting emotion. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info sent away the first knight who left a deep imprint on the path of his life, Augustus stood at the mouth of the Alpine Gorge for a long time, until Albert completely disappeared from his sight, he returned to the carriage, there is no doubt that Albert must be the one who helped Augustus the most, and even to some extent he is more important than the Mass Governor who pulled Alfreda out of the abyss of hell, which is not only reflected in the fact that he led Augustus to the path of knighthood, but also in this period of Alfred's most vulnerable period, he always lived in Alfred's castle.
With him, the castle has nothing to fear.
So from this point of view, Albert's departure is not simply his departure alone, but also the biggest hole card in Alfred Castle in recent times.
At least in the face of a small knight charging his castle, he could no longer easily watch Albert charge back and forth, and then only need him to bend down to pick up the final fruits of victory--Sorry for this, Augustus smiled slightly bitterly, but he soon put this regret behind him, he was a stubborn man after all, and he was not a person who would easily rely on others to pin his hopes for fate.
Then he turned around, and since he needed to wait for his old butler here at this time, the carriage did not leave in a hurry, but considering some of the problems that Katienian encountered in the encirclement and suppression of the lich, he hesitated again and again, and Augustus still asked Her Majesty Queen Terina, and for the affairs of the northern lich court, Terina was definitely enough for Augustus to believe in the authority.
may also know how much Albert's departure has cast a shadow on Augustus's emotions, Queen Terrina unusually did not make things difficult for Augustus, Augustus asked Katieenny what was going on with the black-robed humans among the orcs he met in Christopher's territory, and Teryna simply explained that the northern royal court has always had human activities of dedicating their souls to demons, but in the past, these humans living in the dark acted alone, but in recent years, they have hooked up with orcs who are significantly inversely proportional to intelligence and strength, resulting in increasing turmoil in the north, and also reminded Augustus to be extra vigilant about this situation, after all, Alfred's territory is only separated from the north by a coniferous forestγ
Augustus frowned and thought for a moment, and asked the question he was most worried about.
"For so many years, the northern lich's raiding of the wasteland has never been hindered in the slightest, so will there be any aftermath after encountering the frontal resistance of the Knights of the Cathar this year?
Queen Terina, who had a very poor patience, finally became restless, shaking her little feet, playing with the expensive butterfly hairpin in her hand, and she teased Augustus: " Little Augustus, your Majesty Queen Terina can give you a definite answer to this question, it is expected that the northern realm will soon fall into a quarrel, orcs and humans will accuse the shaman and the titan of retreating without a fight, but the noble shaman who has always hated ugly orcs and despicable humans, the proud titan will definitely not pay attention, so this year has passed in their quarrel, as for next year, if the quarrel comes to an end, your Alfred and even the entire wasteland will probably be finished. β
"What if it doesn't work out?"
"It's all over. β
After Terina briefly finished this conclusion that made Augustus frown deeply, she put down the topic for the time being, and looked proud: "Please, please your Majesty, surrender under her pink skirt, maybe your queen will really be extra kind to tell you the reason, and if your majesty is satisfied with your service this year, next year Queen Terina will consider solving this trouble for you personally, please me." β
Augustus, who was accustomed to having a headache with Terina's complex personality, kept his eyes on the little girl opposite him, and sighed, "Please, it's okay, but it's really embarrassing to surrender under your pink skirt." β
Terina, who sensed Augustus' hateful eyes, easily realized that Augustus's so-called embarrassment meant her flat chest, and suddenly became irritable: "Let your soul tremble!"
......
The old butler has finally arrived.
Even after waiting for a week in the Grand Canyon of the Alps, the old butler was still neat and meticulous in both his straight tuxedo and gray hair, and he calmly appeared in front of Augustus, bowed slightly and saluted Augustus, with impeccable manners and manners.
Augustus didn't have much communication with the old butler who had a weak sense of existence beside him, but of course it wasn't rusty or estranged, in fact, maybe the old butler was the first person Augustus saw after opening his eyes in this world, Augustus had a natural sense of intimacy and trust in him, he believed that he didn't need to say too much to the old butler, and the old butler could understand what he meant, and execute it perfectly.
Naturally, the old butler sat back in the seat of the coachman of the magnificent carriage, determined the route of Augustus' return, and was just about to drive the carriage out of the wilderness, when Queen Terina, who was in the carriage, suddenly poked her head out.
As soon as she saw the old butler, her pupils suddenly constricted, and even Augustus could easily feel her nervousness and vigilance, Augustus turned his head in confusion, and clearly saw that Her Majesty Terina, who was like a little beast, was full of vigilance in her eyes, which were completely two extremes of her usual irritable and impatient image, and then she stared at the old butler for a long time, and finally spoke.
"I can feel the soul of Alastor in you. β
The old butler, who was still calm, glanced at Terina indifferently, as if noticing his adult's doubts, ignoring Terina and explaining to Augustus: "Alastor was the former high priest of the shamans. β
Augustus was stunned, and finally remembered that the old butler's injuries could not be recovered, and it was the shaman high priest who had left an eternal curse on him at the cost of his life.
"It seems that you are the human Ourano who asked Alastor to unleash the 'Soul Shackles' at the cost of his life?"
Perhaps realizing that the once powerful and mysterious old man in front of her was Augustus' butler, Terina's expression eased slightly, but vigilance was still inevitable.
Augustus was puzzled to hear it, 'Soul Shackles'? Is it the dark curse magic that the shaman high priest unleashed with his life? Human Ourano? What is that? Augustus, who only knows that the level of Dou Qi strength is simply divided into 9 and 12 levels in the human world, finds that his understanding of this world is too lacking.
"When the Count was still around, he did say that I was probably a human Ourano. Acknowledging Terina's question, Old Vernon explained to Augustus again: "Ourano is one of the names in the human world for those who have more than level 9 fighting energy, and above Ourano, it is the legendary Zeus level that only exists on the continent. β
Augustus was quietly shocked, knowing that his old butler had been at his peak, but how could he have imagined that he had been at such a peak.
Old Vernon must have been one of those who once stood at the top of the human pyramid, right?
He looked at his old butler in shock, and suddenly remembered the true identity of Her Majesty Queen Terina, and a huge surprise surrounded him in an instant, and he subconsciously asked Terina: "By the way, is there a way to lift the 'soul shackles' on old Vernon?"
Terina, who was immersed in the vigilance, had complicated eyes, she knew very well that even if she was at her peak, she might not be the opponent of the old man at her peak, she spoke with difficulty, and said slowly: "If my soul power is at its peak, I can try, but the key is that my currently weak soul even has to separate a part to suppress another soul, I'm afraid that no one on this continent can have it." Of course, you may have it in the future, but you are an outcast of the Fifth Law Death Entanglement, and you will not have the talent of soul magic in your life. β
From surprise to disappointment, Augustus looked at TΓ©rina in silence, knowing very well that she meant that unless she returned to her prime.
But it will definitely be a long waiting process.
Terina suddenly added in Augustus's regretful mood: "But when I am a little stronger, even if I can't lift the curse of the 'Soul Shackles', I can more or less wipe out some of the remnants of Alasto's souls, and at that time, it should not be difficult for him to reach the Sword Saint stage in your human world." β
Augustus, who was stunned, didn't react much, he was greedy and only thought about how to return his old butler to the peak of Ourano, and where was the so-called sword master in his eyes.
However, the old butler has always been calm and rigid from beginning to end, for him, whether it is the current level 7 mid-level Dou Qi strength, the Sword Saint above level 9, or even the peak Ourano is not so important, his most important identity is only one.
He was old Vernon, Alfred's old butler.
