After all, Augustus could not have mastered the whole picture. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not only did Sebastian of the Imperial Capital come faster and more suddenly than he expected, but even his original plan was completely destroyed.

Sauron Castle.

Stuart's daughter, now Arteras's wife, Fanny is looking at Arthras who is wiping her armor, her face is full of anger, her appearance is actually charming, especially the imperial standard lady goose egg face makes her look graceful and luxurious, but it's a pity that her anger at this time makes her look mean, coupled with her sour and sharp words, it is really not commensurate with the charming image.

"When I married you, you said that your Sauron was facing a difficult situation and was poor, so he couldn't give me a grand wedding, but I put up with it, and I even used the dowry my father gave me to help you! But now? You obviously have tens of thousands of gold, I just want some to buy some clothes and jewelry, is it too much? Saying that you want to keep the gold to rebuild Sauron, and why you want to restore Sauron's former glory, is a lie! You are a shameful liar! Artoras, don't think I'm stupid, you just can't forget the **** of Alfred's family! Do you really want your Sauron to be strong again, and let her see how great you are, and then what?"

Arthras did not react.

He crouched on the ground and carefully wiped the mottled armor, his expression extremely focused, as if it were a rare treasure with magical powers.

"Why don't you speak? Did I say it? Poor fellow, even if you like that **** again, you will never have a chance to get her! Don't forget, without Stuart, without my father, you would have died a long time ago! Who qualifies a person like you to think about other women behind my back? Sooner or later, I will slash that **** in the face in front of me and make her torture!"

Fanny's bitter cruelty is getting more and more excessive.

Arthras finally frowned quietly.

It was no secret that he liked Elizabeth in the moor, and Fanny knew it before she married him, but why? Why would such a gentle girl be vicious in just one year when she first married him? He had given up on Elizabeth and would never mention her again, could it not be just a casual thought? Jealousy is indeed a woman's greatest original sin?

He still didn't speak.

It completely shattered Fanny's last sanity, and seeing Arthras standing up and still staring at the armor hanging on the shelf, she suddenly took two steps forward and pushed the armor to the ground, and the helmet, arm guards, and breastplate were immediately scattered to the ground, and Fanny said hysterically: "Rub, rub! I'll let you wipe this rag and ignore me! Believe it or not, I'll throw them all away!"

Arthras turned his head suddenly.

He stared at his wife.

All the emotions in his eyes were violent, and against the scar on his cheek, his handsome face was hideous and fierce, like an angry lion.

This made Fanny momentarily stunned.

At that moment, she even felt that her silent and good-tempered husband would not hesitate to choke her throat!

She didn't dare to say a word anymore, and trembled.

Fortunately, Arthras, who took a deep breath, still controlled his emotions, he looked at Fanny coldly, turned around and carefully bent down to pick up the parts of the armor- This is his father, the old lion often wore a piece of armor before his death, I still remember when I was a child, when I encountered the disobedient servants of the territory, the old lion would always wear this silver armor, put the young man in front of him, and led him to the battlefield, at that time, he always felt that sitting on his father's horse, the armor was too hard, too awkward, and he also hated this stiff armor, but he didn't expect that one day, his memories of the old lion were only such an armor.

Behind him, Fanny, who had gradually woken up from her fear, cried.

"What kind of murder are you? You are a useless fellow, you have the ability to be cruel to me, why don't you dare to do it with my father? What kind of man are you, is your courage only in a woman?"

......

"Shut up!"

Seeing that Fanny seemed to be about to lose her mind again, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked in, his face was gloomy, looking at Fanny who was crying, his eyes were full of disappointment.

Of course, Fanny also noticed the middle-aged man, she originally seemed to have a tendency to get worse, but when she noticed that the middle-aged man's face was extremely grim, she suddenly felt aggrieved and blurted out: "Father, you ......"

"I never imagined that you would be the way you are today, don't you know that you are talking to your husband? Sloppy, mean, vicious, swearing, is this the daughter of the etiquette teacher I paid a lot of money to hire from the Empire? You have disappointed me so much, Stuart's face has been disgraced by you! You are still worthy to be Stuart's daughter?"

"But ......"

"Get out!"

Earl Stuart interrupted his daughter's crying directly, and realizing that Fanny had not yet lifted her feet, he roared angrily, "Now! immediately!"

Fanny was stunned for a moment, then hid her face and left the room crying.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was awkward, and it was completely silent, except for the crisp sound of Arthras carefully assembling the armor.

It was a long time before Stuart was embarrassed and said, "I spoiled her, Artelas, I'm ......"

"It's okay, after all, I wronged your daughter, didn't I?"

Arthras interrupted Stuart before he could finish speaking, then turned around and smiled at Stuart, as if he didn't mind Fanny's meanness at all.

This made Stuart stunned for a moment, he had long known that Arthras was impeccable in all aspects, it can be said that when Augustus's father was still alive, Sauron's heir Arthras was also recognized as the best next generation in the wasteland, but was his reaction too calm at this time?

"Then again, why did you come here all of a sudden?"

Athras, who hung his helmet from the top and reinstalled his armor, asked casually.

Stuart came over in amazement, and sighed, he didn't mention Fanny's family affairs again, but quickly mentioned his intentions, and said: "Of course, for that matter, according to the report of the people I arranged in the province of Noy, the heir of Rodrien from the imperial capital has basically arrived in the Alps! Although you rejected me in your reply, I really think this is definitely our chance!" As long as we ambush ourselves in the Grand Canyon of the Alps, we don't have to wait for that damn Augustus, we can take it upon ourselves to snatch the supplies that Rodrian has brought! That's a lot of money! I think it's really hard to have this opportunity if it's missed!"

At the beginning, Augustus cooperated with them to plunder Douglas, which obviously made Stuart eat enough sweetness, for the barren wasteland, the benefit that was far greater than the payment was really tempting, so knowing that Count Rodrien was coming, Stuart was soon ready to move, he didn't plan to inform Augustus at all, no matter how you look at it, it is always a good thing to have two less people.

This is also what his daughter was referring to when she scolded Arthras for being useless and not daring to do anything with her father.

Arthras still refused, turned to look at Stuart, he frowned and said: "Only you and I can't swallow it, Augustus also said, Rodrian's knights will bring at least 500, that is definitely not a force that the two of us can compete with, I think we should wait for Rodrian's arrival and then tell Augustus, and then gather all our strength, and then plan this matter." ”

"Why? Why do we have to involve the damned Alfred? Won't Rodrian's way to the wasteland pass through the Alpine Canyon? The terrain of that canyon is destined to always be the most advantageous side for an ambush, so of course we can do it on our own! You have to think clearly, what Sauron needs most at the moment is all kinds of supplies and wealth!" Stuart was excited.

Seeing this, Arthras suddenly fell silent, as if lost in thought.

"Last time Douglas made more than 100,000 pieces of gold, this time Rodrien is probably only a lot more! There are also chain mail, horses, weapons, and food that must be used to equip the Knights—you know, if we do it, only the two of us will share this wealth, which is twice as much as four people!"

Like the demagogic devil, Stuart is excited and eager.

Arthras bowed his head slowly.

It seemed to be hiding the obscurity and gloom that flashed in his eyes.

He said slowly, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Stuart was categorical: "Of course! I've brought all my knights with me!"

Arthras stopped talking.

If jealousy is a woman's greatest sin, then a man's greatest sin is greed.

......

"Greed comes at a price. ”

On the way to the Grand Canyon of the Alps, there is a convoy moving forward in an orderly manner, in front of the convoy, two young men did not choose a carriage, but rode a purebred Caucasian war horse, heroic, the two of them are naturally the heirs of the great nobles from the imperial capital, with fiery red hair is Rodrian's heir, and Sebastian, who is also at the helm of the family after Rodrian's death, and walking beside him is Lev, who also belongs to the core of Austin's circle with him, and is the heir of Castile in Stanford.

They rode their horses and looked at the 'Imperial Prison Gate' just ahead, Sebastian said indifferently: "Since he robbed Douglas of his supplies, then there is no reason why he should not covet what I brought, this is fine, he will be able to see the gift I specially prepared for him sooner, I really hope he can be smarter, don't let me have the opportunity to cut off his head as soon as I arrive in the wasteland, then, it will not be fun." ”

Levor, who was well aware of his companion's indulgence in hatred, frowned and reminded: "Don't despise him, Austin also said that since he can return to the wasteland alive, then he has the right to stand before us, and treat him as a real enemy, even if he is just a sinner." ”

"I know. ”

Sebastian tilted his head, breathing deeply into the proximity of the moor, and muttered with his eyes closed, "I can't wait to taste his blood, which will be even more delicious than the most expensive wine." ”
