Since it is necessary to be reasonable, whether it is a side-to-side knock or a face-to-face detailed discussion, Augustus needs to send someone to Christopher's territory after all, of course, it can't be his own past, and the situation is completely different from when he faced Francis, Alfred and Francis at that time did not have a fundamental hatred, but the rising Alfred made Francis, who was ambitious at that time, aware of the threat, and tried to bury Augustus, so when he knew that Augustus was not as easy to kill as he imagined, he might temporarily give up his intentions, and Christopher was completely differentAugustus had no doubt that once he appeared in Christopher's territory, he would face the siege of Christopher's Knights, and he would not be given a chance to reason at all, and he would be instantly drowned under the knight's iron hooves and shattered. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

So at this time Augustus appeared in a dark room behind Alfred's castle, facing the servant who was about to go to Christopher's domain to reason.

The clutter-filled room was small, with no windows or a decent wooden bed, but a layer of weeds on the floor, shabby and rotten, and even the air smelled of rancidity.

Augustus stood calmly in the room, and in front of him were six Alfred-born civilian children carefully selected by Old Vernon according to his request, the oldest was 17 years old and the youngest was only 14 years old, and the most striking feature on the surface was that in addition to the same ragged clothes, their eyes were very bright, completely different from the blank and dull eyes of most civilians in the wasteland, their bright eyes always occasionally showed vigilance and cunning, and greed, and through the surface, we can understand what they have in common, that is, they have all suffered all kinds of hardships, and they are not rare orphans in Alfred's territory。

Augustus's gaze finally rested on a 15-year-old boy with brown hair and a dirty face, but the most aggressive of all eyes.

He had a very aristocratic name, Liszt, no surname, according to the information that Vernon Sr. had learned, in the winter when Liszt was 7 years old, the Lich invaded, and the civilians were on their way to Sauron, because the food was categorically unable to support their family to reach Sauron, his father killed their mother for the sake of the children, and then cooked a pot of thick broth, leaving no corpse, and when Liszt was 10 years old, also due to hunger and cold, his father sold his sister for a Bourbon silver coin to a place that no one knew, and struggled to feed Liszt until the winter of 12 years old, and finally could not survive any longer, ending his sinful life。

The vicious and twisted man said to Liszt before he died, Liszt, I am going to hell to apologize to your mother, you have to remember that you are not only alive for yourself, but also me, and my mother who is integrated into your blood, and my sister who is in exchange for your food for a few days, so you can't let anyone bully you, that's bullying your family.

The twelve-year-old Liszt was never bullied by anyone again, and all the children or others who laughed at him for bullying him paid a heavy price for their actions.

Augustus didn't know how Vernon Sr. had learned the details of this information, but he certainly did not doubt its accuracy.

He looked at this child who had survived with great difficulty and miraculously mastered the level 2 fighting spirit, and said expressionlessly: "I need you to do something for me, to tell a story to civilians like you in a completely unfamiliar place, the content of the story is a bit complicated, just to let more people know that Christopher and Alfred do not have a good friendship as they seem, on the contrary, because Count Alfred tried to promote the establishment of the new diocese of the wasteland, which led to the betrayal of the Lord, Christopher, who yearns for darkness, has a hatred in his heart, and finally attacks Alfred Castle and kills Count Alfred, who wants to bring light to the wasteland, there are a few points to pay special attention to, Alfred and Christopher should not be mistaken, and the reasons why Christopher attacked Alfred must also be colorful, especially, the more people know about it, the better. ”

"You may die, and if you do, go to hell and curse me, but if you do, I will promise a future you can't imagine. ”

It may be the future in his mouth, and the eyes of the six greedy children are brighter and brighter.

Ambition?

Who would dare to say that the commoners who are struggling to die must be less ambitious than the so-called nobles?

And then in the end, it was the child of the devil, not only did he dare to look directly into Augustus's eyes, but also Liszt, who did not hide his greedy gaze, smiled cruelly: "Honorable noble lord, you were born high, and you can easily decide the life and death of us pariahs, I know that you are definitely not consulting with us but informing us, even if we oppose it, it is absolutely impossible for us to leave alive, right?"

What a smart kid.

Augustus nodded indifferently.

Liszt grinned, showed his neat white teeth, and said, "So, it's all death anyway, can I ask you to advance a part of your so-called unimaginable future?"

Perhaps it was his undisguised aggressive eyes, or perhaps Augustus' instinctive rejection of demand, he frowned and said succinctly: "Say." ”

This demon who hides in the shadows of Alfred, bathed in blood and harvests the heads of his enemies in Alfred's shadow, makes an absurd request that Augustus could never even have imagined.

He pointed to Augustus' crisp and slender coat, and said with a burning look in his eyes, "I want to try how it feels to wear it." ”

Augustus was stunned.

But soon he did not hesitate to take off his coat, walked up to the unscrupulous child, draped it over his body with his own hands, and said, "I will return it to me when you come back alive." ”

Liszt was stunned for a moment as if he felt that this young noble lord was different from what he had met before, but it would only be a laughable joke to make him dedicate his filthy soul in this way.

His dirty palm gently caressed the black coat on his shoulder, like caressing a lover's body.

Liszt bowed his head and muttered in a voice that no one could hear, "Hey, do you see? ”

......

Leaving the suffocating dark room, it was clear that the first step of his reasoning was to stop Augustus, who had pushed these six innocent children into the hell of death.

He stood in front of the door and looked at his hands with an indifferent expression.

Is it finally still tainted with sin? But this is just the beginning.

He smiled cruelly and looked up at the glare of the sun, knowing that no amount of sunshine would wash away the sins he would inevitably bear.

Old Vernon beside him quietly stepped forward and asked, "Do you want to send someone to follow these children?"

There are two meanings, one is to prevent these children from disappearing when they arrive in Christopher's territory, and the other is that if these children disappear or die, then they can carry out Augustus's plan as well as the people in the past.

Augustus, who has always been cautious and detail-oriented, had no reason to oppose this proposal, but he shook his head abnormally and said softly: "I believe they will not give up or die easily." ”

Just as nobles of noble birth cannot be despised because the elders who bring them glory and wealth will teach them how to be fools with a sword in their smiles, nor can they be despised by the untouchables who are humbled by their misery, because they have struggled to survive with a tenacious and cunning system of life that will always find a safe and secure soil suitable for their survival.
