With a plan, manpower, and a relatively rich initial financial support, coupled with the fact that the material itself is the cheapest thing in the barren wasteland, Augustus, who has absolutely no foresight and backward characteristic, began to carry out his idea, and his first step is obviously to change the overall image of the primitive tribes in Alfred's territory, and to build the territory into a high-rise building similar to the Imperial Ferry City. The real city with the magnificence of the square, at least a few Gothic magnificent buildings symbolically become the landmarks of his territory, otherwise there are really imperial guests to come to play, as far as the eye can see, there are only low stone houses and dirty streets, I am afraid that no matter how strong the interest in playing will be gone, and even produce the annoyance and anger after being deceived, so Augustus really began to realize his idea step by step, and he could only start from scratch with the most basic infrastructure.

But as soon as he started doing it, he encountered the same problems that he had encountered more than once before.

Person.

To be precise, it is the right person, the design of the location of the building requires professional people, every budget expenditure in the progress of the project, and the different talents needed for the overall allocation of all aspects in the specific process, all mean that Augustus, who has the overall situation, must be rationally deployed - but the problem is, there is no way to arrange it, where can he get so many servants to use it with confidence?

So at this time Augustus was in his study, looking through the details of all the servants in his domain.

From Llorente to Marshall, he watched carefully enough, but he always felt that what he could understand on paper was really one-sided, and it was difficult for him to be completely reassured.

This leads to the fact that in the end, Augustus still has no way to determine the person in charge of any link.

He put down the thick servant information in his hand in a dejected manner, and finally realized that he had come into contact with too few Alfred servants in the past six months since he came to Alfred, and if this matter was left to Elizabeth, or his old butler Vernon Sr., it would definitely have the best result in the shortest possible time, right?

Thinking of Elizabeth and Old Vernon in the imperial capital, Augustus's eyes subconsciously rested on a letter in his hand.

......

It was a letter from Baron Rudolf in the Imperial Ferry City 2 days ago.

One of the things that interested Augustus the most was the one that made Augustus faintly worried and uneasy.

Most interested is the Earl Douglas, the vice-consul of the Imperial Province of Clint, this surname is undoubtedly an unfamiliar surname to Augustus, but it is believed that in the near future, the Alfred family will have many inevitable contacts or frictions with this strange Earl Douglas, as for the reason, it is very simple - the Douglas family is likely to face trial and then accept the fate of exile.

In other words, the wasteland is about to welcome new inhabitants.

As the actual master of the wasteland, Augustus certainly had to take an interest in the Earl of Douglas.

There is not much information about Count Douglas in intelligence, but it is simply said that Count Douglas, who is glamorous on the surface and holds real power, is actually the largest underground human trafficker in Clint and even several surrounding provinces, and he has a very deterrent nickname, called 'Bloody Executioner', from this nickname, it is not difficult to see that human traffickers are not engaged in slave trade or prostitution in a simple sense, in fact, the rise of the Douglas family without warning in recent years is also the new business developed by this Earl of Douglas. He provided slaves to vent to the nobles with very characteristic personalities, and each person killed required a few gold coins, which Augustus did not know, but the information did mention that a noble lady once paid Count Douglas a full 8,000 gold bourbon coins in one go in one week.

It's hard to imagine what that means.

Whether cruel or outrageous, Augustus didn't really care too much, he cared about the real meaning behind the fact that Earl Douglas was facing trial.

Can it be understood that many of the Empire's dirty and dark businesses are getting smaller and smaller to survive?

Does this also mean that he chose the wasteland to take the dark route, which is a wonderful prospect?

Regardless of whether or not the Holy See was behind this whole thing, there is no doubt that Augustus did find it difficult not to be interested.

......

Then there was another thing that worried him - and this incident that happened in the imperial capital can be summed up in one sentence.

Viscount Nicholas's estate was attacked.

It may be that in the imperial capital where nobles are everywhere, an attack on a viscount can't make much of a wave, but considering the identity of Viscount Nicholas, he really has to consider the series of effects that this matter may cause. You must know that Nicholas's previous identity was the personal butler of the old Duke of Constantine, and now his identity is the personal butler of the 6th heir to the throne of the Constantine family.

Augustus, who was far away in the wasteland, certainly didn't know how many interests and intrigues were involved in this whole thing, but what he could easily imagine was that Sophia was already involved in the core of the power struggle system of the Constantine family.

To be honest, this was not what Augustus expected, and he couldn't imagine that not long after returning to the Empire, the Bishop of Mass himself was in the imperial capital, so who would dare to cause such trouble for Sophia?

However, it is not difficult to imagine how hot the struggle within the family of Constantine has become.

When it came to the fact that he had asked Elizabeth to go to the imperial capital, he had to worry even more because he had considered that it was relatively safe.

Even if he could ignore the affairs of the Constantine family, but Elizabeth was only old Vernon by his side, and more importantly, Sophia might not be able to shelter Elizabeth, and Mass might not be willing to provide shelter, so he knew very well that he had to get Elizabeth back as soon as possible.

Of course, in fact, in the last few days, Augustus has already begun to arrange some things after he leaves the wasteland.

It's just that before leaving, it is also necessary for him to wait for the arrival of that person in his castle, and also for the final result of the new pattern of the wasteland.

......

So, in Augustus's busyness and worry, 2 days later, after he had finished the strength cultivation that he had to carry out in the morning, in the afternoon, he finally waited for the person he had been waiting for.

A small and unspectacular convoy slowly approached Alfred Castle.

Standing on the second floor of the castle, Augustus, who did not go down to greet him, calmly watched the convoy, and of course he could only resolutely not let go of this grandiose ' Little Lolita Terina, who bullied people's opportunities, for this opportunity, Queen Terina sacrificed her precious reading time, so she watched the convoy slowly approach, Terina was the same as Augustus at first, and kept watching the convoy, but later, when she suddenly noticed that the corners of Augustus's lips gradually raised a rather obscure arc, she gave up studying the convoy, and stared at Augustus with a look of disdain with mockery, admiration, and playful complex expressions.

She couldn't help but say with disdain: "Little Augustus, what kind of nostalgia does it have?"

Augustus, who was still looking at the convoy, smiled, ignored Terina's disdain, stretched out his hand to a middle-aged man riding on a horse next to the carriage of the convoy, and said, "Look at that, that's Count Stuart, don't be surprised, it must be Arthras sitting in the carriage, although I don't know why Stuart chose to ride a horse instead of sitting in the carriage with Arthras." ”

"You may not know very well, I will tell you roughly, the former number one giant of the wasteland, Sauron, I won't say more, and then the second Donald, also gradually hid behind Alfred, as for the subsequent Francis, Christopher, you have also seen the ending, Francis's demise is basically only a matter of time, but what about the most inconspicuous Earl Stuart in the former Sauron group? It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is now deciding the fate of Sauron and Francis, who would have thought that this Count Stuart, who does not seem to be amazing and not strong enough, will be the ultimate victor? Even the current Arthras must rely on Stuart's protection. ”

Little Lori tilted her head and thought about it, maybe she was lazy to ponder Augustus's playfulness, and pouted: "I always thought that Alfred was the big winner in the end." ”

Augustus shook his head and sighed, saying something that Terina didn't quite understand.

"Glory may not be able to withstand the glory of the body, but the ordinary can often carry the misfortunes of fate. ”

......

The convoy stops at the lawn in front of Alfred Castle.

Augustus, who was holding Terina's little hand, walked down the castle to greet him, and there was a particularly interesting detail in the process, Count Stuart had already jumped off his horse and stood in front of the carriage waiting, but Augustus, who had passed by him, did not pay much attention to it, just smiled and nodded, and then continued to walk, while Count Stuart did not even bother to nod his head, and still looked as steady as ever, neither showing anger at Augustus's contempt, nor showing the feeling of feeling uncomfortable again in this castle he hated, like a complete stranger。

The curtain of the carriage was lifted.

What was revealed was still the smiling face that was bright and charming in the sun, as if the narrow scars on his face could not defeat his grace at all, and Young Master Artelas, who was wearing a snow-white heap-collared shirt and a slender black gown, was the same as before.

However, Augustus, who knew very well what he had done in Sauron's castle, was still able to catch a little bit of yin in the depths of his bright eyes.

He smiled and jumped out of the carriage and gently embraced Augustus with open arms.

Then he took a half step back, put his right hand on his chest, and let the sun shine on his face, and he smiled: "Long time no see, Augustus." ”

Augustus smiled the same, and after returning the salute, he said, "It's been a long time, Marquis Sauron. ”

Two very different names, in two very different directions, never returned.

This is probably the most authentic main tone after the reunion, and it is also the main tone of the overall pattern of the wasteland. (To be continued.)
