Chapter 115: The Retreat

"The grace of God is coming, and my watch begins until death, and I will not take a wife, nor bear children, nor fiefdoms, nor compete for honors, nor wear crowns, and I am God's apostle among men, spreading the seed of divine grace, and I will give my life and my soul to the Lord, as it is today, and every day. This was a manifesto when the monastic was first founded, but the biggest difference from the current papacy is the monastic method, which is said to have a golden chain like this for every believer who joins the order, and they pray every day, repent every day, and lash their bodies with golden chains every day. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

I'm afraid that except for a very few people at the top of the papal pyramid, only Queen Terina can know these secrets.

Augustus looked at the golden chain in Queen Terina's hand, and instantly grasped the point that Terina hinted at him.

Possessing the Golden Chains, Christopher is a devout member of the Order?

But if I remember correctly, the Christopher family also happens to be the only nobleman in the wasteland who was indirectly exiled to the wasteland by the Holy See? So is there a necessary connection between his status as a hermit and the reason for the Holy See's exile? Augustus certainly couldn't figure this out, but what he could roughly figure out was that if he was not mistaken, the hand behind Christopher's back could only come from the hermitage.

This explains why Christopher had such a powerful force to attack Alfred Castle in the first place.

But then things seem even more interesting, why did the Hermit attack Alfred's Castle? Was it because of the gold mines in the city of Dehe? Considering that the biggest reason why the Mass Exarch helped Augustus seemed to be a gold mine, Augustus felt quite strange that a gold mine was not only coveted by the Bishop of Missal, but also by the Hermitage of this huge ancient organization, which was the predecessor of the Holy See?

Is it necessary? Are they all poor?

Augustus, who knew very well that this could not be the only reason, quickly began to speculate whether the Bishop of Mass was willing to help him was also the reason why he knew about the Order, and whether the Order's subsequent complete abandonment of Christopher was also due to the intervention of the Bishop of Mass in this matter?

He couldn't figure it out, and what made him even more helpless was that with his current position and strength, he couldn't ask the Bishop of Mass at all, no matter from which point of view, he could only press this big question.

"It's a headache. ”

Suppressing a series of questions in his heart, Augustus was bitter and comforted, at least he finally knew the origin of his enemy, didn't he?

Although the origin is obscure and huge.

......

He took Terina's little hand and walked back to the castle grounds, and since there was nothing left in this small room, there was no need to stay any longer.

Walking to the castle living room, he finally barely suppressed all doubts for the time being, and did not mention the matter of the hermitage again, and took advantage of the fact that Queen Terina was finally a little patient, and asked Queen Terina how the other soul in her body was, whether it was completely wiped out by her.

Terina threw him a familiar look at the idiot, the body that Her Majesty personally selected, could the soul not be strong enough?

Almost accustomed to the contempt of the little Lori, Augustus smiled, and suddenly remembered that the two souls of the little Lori are equally powerful, does that mean that Queen Terina also has two abilities at the same time? Is the little Lori also a knight? It doesn't look like it, two souls and two magic? This guess that he suddenly realized made Augustus directly shocked, and he was about to ask about this shuddering thing.

However, before he could speak, little Lori teased him and said, "By the way, stupid Augustus, let your majesty hear how you put yourself in a desperate situation? I heard that you already had the ability to subvert Christopher without even using your hands, but you still almost played yourself to death? This is amazing, Queen Terina has met all kinds of fools, but I have never met a fool like you, tell me quickly, how stupid can you be?

Augustus, who was sitting on the sofa, was speechless for a while.

However, in order to satisfy Lori's curiosity, he gritted his teeth and repeated his negligence at that time.

Little Lori's eyes lit up, it's funny, isn't that little maid very beautiful? Do you have to take her away in that situation? Christopher is not a fool, can you not know that there is one less person in the castle? And there is still one less person in that sensitive moment, I have to say, Augustus, you are so stupid, stupid out of the realm.

She lay on Augustus' lap, triumphantly humiliating Augustus, and suddenly looked up, only to find that Augustus had closed his eyes and fallen asleep.

Must be tired, since coming to Christopher's territory, basically haven't rested, plus last night was the final battle and my mind has always been tense, can you not be tired.

Little Lori was still lying on Augustus' lap, looking up at Augustus with her little head up, maintaining a posture that should be very her neck, and she was unusually quiet.

Then her eyes slid over the golden chains that lay beside them, and her eyes suddenly became complicated.

There is no one in this world who understands the horror of the monastic better than her, a little Lori with an ancient soul, and it can be said that it is a deformed and indestructible sacred organization at all.

It's even older than she is.

It's even more terrifying than anyone can imagine.

But little Augustus's next enemy was this deformed and ubiquitous terrible organization.

She felt a little funny, and suddenly a little sad, she slowly stretched out her little hand and gently stroked Augustus's face, and murmured, "Poor little Augustus, why did you choose this body to be reborn?"

"You're going to die sooner or later anyway, so you'd better die as soon as possible, in that case, it should be easier. ”

......

Augustus, who slept until noon the next day, woke up and still felt dizzy, he struggled to raise his eyelids, and saw the little Lori curled up quietly beside him, he couldn't help but smile at ease, and then greeted the same smile of the little Lori, he didn't know how to make fun of the latter, pretending to be a lady?

Augustus rubbed his thighs and regretted it until his bowels were blue.

In the midst of the noise, he finally remembered that little Lori had guarded him all night without dining, and Augustus did not hesitate, and ordered the knights outside the castle to prepare a carriage and rush directly to Viscount Franklin's manor.

In front of the Viscount's manor, in addition to Christopher's former servants, Constance, Stephen, The three Fillmos people were actually waiting here, they were guarding at the entrance of the manor, and at the same time as Augustus led Terina out of the carriage, they respectfully saluted Augustus, Augustus waved his hand and smiled, of course he knew that the three viscounts arrived to share the fruits of the final victory, but it didn't matter, this was his plan in itself, and he didn't plan to monopolize the vast territory left by Christopher, so he naturally needed to run his firm circle through interests.

He led the little girl, who was still wearing a pink princess dress, in front of him.

He was followed by nearly 10 nobles who must have been his elders in terms of age.

Who would dare to say that this picture has no deep meaning?

When he arrived at the manor, it was clear that the former Christopher servants were anxiously waiting for their fate, and the three Constance were anxiously waiting for the benefits of Augustus did not let them wait too long, he arranged for Viscount Franklin to send someone to serve Terina for dinner, and then walked directly to Franklin's manor living room with the adults, and then sat down, his first sentence was amazing: "The meeting is presided over by Viscount Franklin, as for how to distribute the sovereignty of the towns, I believe that Viscount Franklin will give you a satisfactory answer." ”

Viscount Franklin's face suddenly turned red under the stunned and expectant eyes of everyone, how could he have thought that the young Earl Alfred actually put the power in his hands because of his clever choice that night?

Viscount Franklin, who was not stupid, hesitated, but nodded at Augustus' smile, finally believing that this was not an unnecessary temptation for the young Earl Alfred.

Viscount Constance, who had a good relationship with Augustus, looked at Augustus thoughtfully, as if he was speculating about what Augustus's sudden decision meant, didn't he want to fight for the greater good of Alfred?

As if so, Augustus followed up with the second sentence: "Excuse me, forgive me, I have to go to the dinner first, and inform me when you have discussed the results." ”

Then he got up and really left at will in front of everyone's dumbfounded eyes.

No one could have imagined the indifference and courage of the young earl, and of course they knew that Augustus, who had fought hard to overthrow Christopher, would certainly not give up his interests.

Then his free and easy posture is even more incomprehensible.

Soon, however, it became clear to everyone present that Augustus did not care.

In the meeting, they finally realized that there was no need for the young earl to be present, and that they dared to try to reach out to Alfred's gains? In the richest towns, with all kinds of special products, would they dare to do things that they should not have moved? In the end, the greatest benefit that Alfred should have obtained could only be left to Alfred without their tacit knowledge.

This is power.

So in this complex environment, a brief meeting quickly set the tone, and considering that it was Augustus who had to decide in the end, Viscount Franklin hesitated, but still took the final result to the dining room and handed it to Augustus to take a general look.

Augustus, who was dining, held a fork in one hand, his eyes were fixed on the result that Viscount Franklin had taken, and he seemed to casually give Franklin a suggestion, but he seemed to have really thought about it, and he said: "Viscount, I actually have a better idea for the treatment of Christopher's servants in the past, I don't know if you are interested?"

Franklin hurriedly bowed.

Augustus said indifferently: "All Christopher's former servants, you can keep whoever you want, and send whoever you want to guillotine to the guillotine, I absolutely agree, but there is a request, after I leave, Christopher's territory must be firmly in your hands." ”
