Chapter 12: The Lord's Arrangement

There is a saying circulating in the upper circles of the Holy Empire that decency is always the second life of the nobility. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

This sentence is especially deeply reflected in the abandoned wasteland, because even the nobles in the wasteland are family members who have committed crimes and been exiled by the empire. To a certain extent, there is basically only one noble title left, and both strength and wealth are far from being comparable to the real nobles of the empire, but in terms of details of life such as clothing, food, housing and transportation, these guilty nobles have not only not been restrained because of the bad environment, but have intensified the pursuit of these details to the extreme, as if they lose these so-called aristocratic decency, they will even lose the only remaining noble title on their heads.

Like Alfred of Augustus.

Located in the southeast of Sauron City, the Gracery Manor is the property of the Alfred family in Sauron City, Augustus came to Sauron City early in the morning, at that time he asked the Alfred Knight Captain Katieani who escorted Elizabeth to do something for him, so he just talked to Katieni in the carriage, did not get out of the car, and did not look carefully at this manor that belonged to him. And it was only at this time, when the carriage stopped again in front of the manor, that Augustus, who had stepped out of the carriage, realized the beauty of the Gracery Manor. Perhaps in terms of momentum, the Grace Dolly is far less magnificent than the Alfred Castle, but the Grace Castle, which covers the same vast area as the Alfred Castle, is much more refined than the castle in terms of layout and appearance, the main building in the middle is a small castle about 3 stories high, in the four corners of the castle, there is a building to defend the castle, and in the open space in front of the main building, the vegetation is luxuriant, which simply constitutes a poetic medieval pastoral picture, which makes people feel very comfortable.

It was only at the same time that Augustus thought that this beautiful manor would only be inhabited during the two days of the Council of Sauron, and he had to lament the so-called aristocracy's pursuit of decent luxury.

He stepped out of the carriage with the help of the old butler.

Then he suddenly thought of something when he got into a wheelchair, turned to look at Elizabeth, who had not yet stepped out of the carriage, and said, "Help me bring the materials I have specially sorted out in the first drawer of the desk." ”

Elizabeth smiled, and when she went back to the carriage to get the documents, she was suddenly stunned for a moment, and finally remembered that when Augustus asked her to take the two documents, she didn't even look at them, and said exactly where the documents he wanted were placed.

What does this mean?

This meant that there were three drawers of materials that Augustus not only remembered the contents of each document very clearly, but even clearly remembered where they were placed.

What kind of control and memory does it take to do this? You know, the documents in the three drawers of the desk are not only completely different in content, but also in large quantities.

Elizabeth's expression inevitably became complicated, and she felt that Augustus seemed to be a little different from before after waking up this time, she did think that her brother was very powerful in the past, but she really had such a feeling of worship as now.

......

The old butler pushed the wheelchair into the manor, and the first time he greeted the Alfred Knight Captain Katie Enny, this is a strict and orthodox Alfred Knight Servant Knight, with a tough appearance, and his strength was the banner benchmark of the Alfred family even before Alfred was attacked, he has the strength of level 6 fighting spirit, and he chose the knight route of the gun, and the attack power is quite strong, it is said that on the night of Alfred's attack, he successfully crossed the level and pierced the heart of a level 7 sword knight; 。

Katieoni saluted Augustus, and although his injuries had left him with a slight lack of energy, his movements were impeccable.

Augustus bowed his head slightly, and then asked, "Is the matter done?"

"It's ready as you commanded, my lord, when are you going to leave?"

Katieoni's pace of speech was a little slow, which meant that his personality itself was quite calm, Augustus liked such people, so from the beginning he had a certain degree of affection for this knight captain with good strength, tough appearance, and strict style, he frowned and thought about it, and said: "Arrange it, and leave in 1 hour, I have to trouble you to go with me." ”

"It is my pleasure, my lordship. ”

Augustus smiled and didn't speak again, since he had decided to leave in one hour, it meant that he had to make all the preparations in this one hour, he motioned to old Vernon to push the wheelchair to the study of the manor, and Elizabeth, who was holding the materials behind him, also walked beside him, and then at the door of the study, Elizabeth finally couldn't help but say: "Brother, can't you leave again tomorrow? What you need tonight is to have a good rest." ”

She probably knew about Augustus's plan, so of course she knew where Augustus would go overnight.

Old Vernon stopped, Augustus smiled at Elizabeth, and said with a gentle look in his eyes: "Don't worry Elizabeth, trust me, I will be responsible for your brother's body." After speaking, sensing that Elizabeth was obviously dissatisfied and was about to speak again, Augustus preemptively said: "What we need most now is time, and when this thing is done, no matter what happens next, I will have a long, long rest." ”

Elizabeth looked at Augustus seriously and realized that it was impossible for her to change Augustus' decision, so she had no choice but to give in and said, "Then I will go with you too." ”

Augustus was hesitant, but Elizabeth's determination made it impossible for him to refuse.

......

In the study of the Gracery Manor, Elizabeth and old Vernon went to prepare a late lunch for Augustus, and Augustus was alone in the study to prepare his next plan, one of the keys was that he needed to write a letter and hand it over to the young bishop, so that he could have the opportunity to meet the other party; that is to say, the key of this letter in Augustus's plan was completely fatal, the content of the letter determined that the young bishop would not give him a chance to meet, and also determined the success or failure of Augustus's plan, and at the same time determined the survival of the Alfred family。

This pressure even made it difficult for him to breathe.

In particular, the double exhaustion of physical and mental health made him dare not write easily.

He slowly put the quill pen in his hand on the desk, then closed his eyes, feeling the silence in this spacious study, and the scene of a handsome and elegant middle-aged man sitting in this study inexplicably appeared in his mind, this picture was very unfamiliar, at least for the current Augustus, but at the same time, Augustus was completely sure that the middle-aged man must be his father, Lord Count Alfred. He didn't know why he had suddenly thought of this image, but when it overlapped with the night's killing, Augustus thought about the black stone tablet in Alfred's castle, and he finally opened his eyes.

He picked up the quill again, put his arms on the desk seriously, pressed them against the white paper, and muttered, "Then I will protect Alfred's future." ”

A letter, a letter that decided Alfred's survival, Augustus wrote in less than 20 minutes, and then, as he folded it carefully, and was about to put it in the envelope, he suddenly thought of something, opened the letter again, and took a pen again to add a sentence at the end of the letter.

"And the Lord said, Let us enter in by the narrow gate, for wide is the gate that leads to destruction, and the way is great, and many are found, and narrow is the gate to life, and the way is small, and few are found. ”

"But my lord, if the narrow door I found was closed to me, would the Lord make any other arrangements for his followers?"
