The Knights Cathar sent by the Bishop of Mass were officially stationed in the wasteland, but not all of them were stationed in Alfred as Augustus initially guessed, but they blatantly ran through most of the wasteland with an extraordinarily tough and domineering attitude, winding from the Alpine Gorge to the territory of Sauron, passing through the territory of Donald, and extending to Alfred, echoing from end to end, and arranging defenses in the middle, which was basically creating an impregnable transportation avenue, not to mention that almost no one in the wasteland would doubt the intention of the Holy See to set up a new diocese in the wasteland, even Augustus, who clearly knew that the Holy See had no such intention in a short time, they all began to wonder if this was the pre-empting preparation for the establishment of the Grand Diocese of the Wasteland, after all, this move was too sensitive, no matter how the Wasteland was also the territory of the Empire, the prison of the Empire, so the Holy See's blatant intervention would not the Empire rebound?

A game involving this level is clearly beyond the reach of Augustus. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Augustus wanted to break his head and die to guess the intentions of the Bishop of the Mass, and carefully guessed whether this was a manifestation of the ambition of the Bishop of the Mass.

It is said that the most glorious and glorious feat of the Holy See can only be the opening up of the wasteland of faith.

Presumably, once the Cardinal Archbishop of the Diocese of Noi Province is also inaugurated as the Archbishop of the New Diocese of the Wasteland, his hand should be one step closer to the scepter, right?

However, these have nothing to do with the current Augustus, who at this time is deploying the Knights of the Cathar to station the wasteland, and the first batch of gold ore will be transported to the empire.

In the forbidden area of Alfred in De He, the whole scene was overflowing with noise and busyness, thousands of civilians carrying the black gold ore excavated during this time to the side of the carriage, sweating, under the supervision of Philip himself, there was no pause, everything was carried out in an orderly manner, the scene was spectacular, and everywhere was filled with the smell of harvest.

Augustus stood by and watched this scene, no matter how excited and joyful he was, at least on the surface he was still calm, and as for His Royal Highness Sophia standing beside him, there would not be much emotion, after all, this gold mine could only be an inconspicuous little toy for the Constantine family, who held the financial power of the empire, and of course, Elizabeth, who came to the forbidden area for the first time, was the most obvious of the three.

During this time, due to Alfred's busyness, Elizabeth and Sophia were almost trapped in the castle and never went out, and it was also the opportunity to harvest the fruits today, after Sophia made a suggestion, Augustus happily agreed to Sophia's suggestion, and took them out for a walk, which can be regarded as a little time to rest in the busy.

"Brother, do you mean that this batch of about 30 tons of ore is enough to exchange for more than 10,000 Bourbon gold coins?"

Elizabeth, who could not hide her joy, carefully calculated that according to Augustus's calculation, about 3 kilograms of gold belonged to Alfred per ton, and the weight of each Bourbon gold coin was about 8 grams, which was quite realistic without considering any loss.

Augustus smiled and nodded, in fact, of course, more than 30 tons of ore were mined during this time, but due to the poor transportation capacity of this world, the empire's huge material transportation could only rely on rivers, and the wasteland did not have the ability to transport by rivers, so 30 tons per trip was really the limit.

"I can't imagine that Dehe City actually contains such a huge fortune. Elizabeth sighed softly and asked, "Is there a way to count the total production?"

Augustus shook his head regretfully, Alfred really did not have the ability to identify minerals, and he explained to Elizabeth: "Although this data cannot be counted, according to the current situation, it is not a problem to maintain this rate of mining for a month or two." ”

How much gold does that cost?

I'm afraid it's going to be taller than Alfred Castle, right?

Elizabeth, who couldn't calculate the exact amount, was shocked, and then quickly calmed down and began to roughly plan the use of this majestic wealth according to her thoughts.

Her Royal Highness Sophia was also sincerely pleased with Alfred's prospects.

Augustus, on the other hand, walked to the side with his feet raised after explaining, and then walked up to Katieeni, who was going to the empire with the convoy, and after bowing to Katieni, he smiled and said with a smile that I am going to trouble you again, this time you have to go to the empire with the convoy.

Katieeni, who still retains his graceful and calm image, is still standing in the dusty mines, his armor is still exceptionally bright, he replied, "It was my honor."

Augustus thought for a while and explained: "When I arrived in the empire, the Church of Mass paid this 30% gold coin in advance, remember, I don't need you to bring back a gold coin, all of which will be used to buy supplies." ”

Katieani bowed down.

The only use of gold coins for Alfred at this time was for supplies, and Augustus was well aware of this, and he was keenly aware that through the transportation route set up by the Bishop of Mass in the wasteland, he could open up Alfred's own smuggling route between the empire and the wasteland, which was a rare opportunity, and it would be a fool not to carry out this legal smuggling activity.

Everything went smoothly and methodically.

Alfred seems to have finally had the other favor of the goddess of fate.

......

On the way back to the castle, Her Royal Highness Sophia, who had experienced Alfred's thriving scene firsthand during this time, finally couldn't help but ask the question she had always wanted to ask after passing through the city of Dehe, and she said: "Augustus, why do you have to put so much effort into running your territory? Whether it is the excavation of the Nile or the layout of the towns in your territory, it seems to me that it is completely unnecessary, and don't you worry about the lich in the cold winter next year?" When the time comes, all your hard work will be in vain. Besides, even if you have your considerations and are confident that Alfred will avoid the Lich's sweep in the coming year, since Alfred's rise is now unstoppable, why do you have to work so hard against time? You can easily wait for Arthras and Francis to lose and then calmly step to the throne of the wasteland. ”

"Did you go to Ferry City, and the prosperity of the empire stimulated you, so you want to make your territory a prosperous city?"

The last sentence was clearly a good-natured joke by Her Royal Highness Sophia.

It may be that the Lich was mentioned, and Augustus, who remembered Queen Terina, was quietly gloomy.

But soon, he smiled and said, "You guessed right, it is indeed the prosperity of the empire that has stimulated me." ”

He paused slightly, glanced at Elizabeth who was smiling at him, his eyes were clear, and he sighed: "You have lived in the empire since you were a child, you may not have this feeling, but for me and Elizabeth, the impact of that trip to Ferry City is too great, to use the simplest analogy, you must have seen that the entire wasteland does not even have a decent market except for Sauron City, Elizabeth wants to buy some cosmetics, clothes, flowers, you have to go to Sauron City, you must know what it means." I don't want me and my sister to live in this environment all the time, I can't change Alfred's identity as a criminal, but I can at least try to change Alfred's living environment, you see, it's all my efforts, yes, I'm doing this, and I will definitely build Alfred's territory into a wasteland, and even the entire Holy Empire will not seem to be a poor city, believe me, 3 years, at most 5 years, Alfred will definitely be a particularly bright pearl on the map of the Holy Empire. ”

"I will no longer let Elizabeth be troubled by the lack of a proper dress, and I will not allow Elizabeth's world to be left blank. ”

"What the Holy Empire has, Alfred will have in the future, and what the Holy Empire does not have, Alfred will definitely have at that time. ”

The smile on Elizabeth's face was silent.

Sophia, who was originally just joking, was shocked.

Was it Augustus' ambition to become king of the wasteland?

Be.

But compared to the king of the wasteland, the picture he describes is his most vast ambition, right?

Her Royal Highness Sophia, who has the blood of Constantine, the most noble in the empire, was speechless for a long time, and when she was very young, she knew that she could not change her life, nor could she change her environment, and the only thing she could do was to try to adapt to life and adapt to the environment, but now? Augustus did not just have the idea of changing the environment, he was simply changing his life and his environment.

She looked complicated and said softly: "This must be a road full of bumps and thorns, Augustus, forgive my confession, the conflict between ideals and reality will make you realize how terrible this matter is." ”

Augustus raised his eyebrows and smiled: "When ideals and reality conflict, I will try to change reality instead of giving up ideals." ”

Change reality.

Is this the real Augustus?

......

The carriage came to a halt.

Augustus, who suddenly felt a strong sense of unease, lifted the curtain of the car, glanced at the old butler where the coachman was, and asked suspiciously.

The old butler let go of the reins and said calmly: "It seems that there is a little trouble that has been touched." ”

Augustus immediately looked at the situation of the carriage at this time, there were dilapidated small stone houses on both sides, and it happened to drive into a small street, and then looked directly in front of the carriage, at the end of the short street, soon out of 6 swordsmen with big swords, the same gray linen clothes, the same solemn expression, slowly approached the purple iris gorgeous carriage, and the resolute killing intent revealed by their bodies was undisguised.

Alfred's brief silence came to an end.

Augustus grasped the identity of these six swordsmen almost instantly.

Francis did not dare to tear up the verbal peace agreement at this time, and Stuart did not have the courage to do so, so Christopher, who had watched Alfred grow stronger day by day, could no longer stand the tremendous pressure brought by Alfred - it is not difficult to guess that what shocked Augustus the most was Christopher's precise timing of the attack.

During this time, due to the smooth flow of everything and the arrival of the Knights Cathars, Augustus, who used to go out with at least 10 knights of the Knights Cathars, happened not to bring the knights with him this time, and although he was covered with eyes in Dehe City to secretly monitor everything abnormal, but at this time, the carriage just happened to travel to the area, and they were destined not to be discovered in a short time.

He is really worthy of being an old friend of Alfred, and with his familiarity with the terrain of Dech City, the choice of Augustus' route and the understanding of all movements, I am afraid that no one in the whole wasteland can compare with Christopher.

Realizing that this was not just a minor trouble as the old butler said, Augustus drew his great sword from the carriage without looking back, and told Elizabeth and Sophia: "Don't leave the carriage, the old butler and I will restrain them, and leave as soon as we find an opportunity. ”

He gripped his broadsword and stepped out of the carriage.

Old Vernon, who was walking in front of him, also slowly took out his white gloves from his pocket.

......

In the carriage, after worrying, Her Royal Highness Sophia was full of confusion.

Elizabeth naturally understood her confusion, and looked at the attacker in front of Augustus and the old butler, she couldn't hide her worries, and explained: "Augustus will not let the old butler alone to fight for us to escape, and he will not let the old butler face Alfred's enemies alone." ”

Sophia's eyes were complicated.

It had been a long time since she lived in Alfred's Castle, but it was only to this day that she felt she had read Augustus.

What can be seen in this filthy world is his indifference and cruelty.

But what the people around him can see is his stubbornness that he is even willing to give his life to protect.

This is the real Augustus.
