Chapter 203: A Proverb

Augustus's violent reaction can be said to be something that was expected by Mass, but it is unreasonable that until now, Mass still can't understand what the relationship between this heir of Alfred and Empress Catherine of the Lich Court thousands of years ago is? Why did Catherine do anything for Augustus, a small human being? Looking at the worry and fear that Augustus couldn't hide at the moment, was he afraid of Catherine?

Mass couldn't figure it out. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

That's because he will never know the secrets of this world that belong only to Augustus and little Terina.

He quickly gave up thinking about this question that was destined to be unanswered, and although he was the Mass, the sun of the Holy See and the future of the Holy See in the eyes of everyone, he had always been clear that he was only a human being. So noticing that Augustus's mood was very unstable, Mass thought for a while and said: "Of course, Empress Catherine should have no problem in a short period of time, if I guess correctly, the Titan giant with the physique of the god of war who took Catherine away from the empire is most likely the crown prince of the Titan clan? It would not have been easy for them to threaten the Lich Empress, otherwise they would not have been secretly plotting in the North for hundreds of years and still not succeeding in achieving their expectations. ”

"They've been planning for hundreds of years, and who knows what kind of progress they've made? ”

Augustus said this with difficulty, stood for a moment, and finally calmed down for the time being, and slowly sat back.

He knew that there was some truth to what the Mass said.

The Mass did not speak, and his expression was complicated.

Augustus did not speak again, and fell into deep thought.

It was completely dark.

In the study, the dim candles flickered incessantly, which embellished the silent atmosphere with a particularly thick and suffocating atmosphere.

......

Augustus quickly sorted out and analyzed all the points of this long conversation, and the things that Mass told him were so informative after all that he could hardly sort out the doubts in all these things for a while with his lack of knowledge of the world, for example, the monastic order had been conspiring for hundreds of years, but some people, or Bourbon, or Diago, did not seem to have any means to deal with it? Besides, since the Congregation of the Sacraments can guarantee the recording of any human who has been to the Lich of the North, then the Holy See will watch the Monastery operate in the North and grow steadily?

They all chose to wait in silence for the catastrophe to come, but did not respond?

Or is there something else going on in there?

He thought about it for a long time, and finally organized the language, and said slowly: "You just said that in addition to the hermitage, there are also some people who choose to walk in the world and tell the world what is good and what is evil, so can I understand it this way, whether you belong to these people or not, but at least conceptually, you, or the chief secretary of state of the empire, are working together to prevent that thing from happening?"

Against all odds.

Mass shook his head directly, and said, "I just think something should be done, Augustus, I understand what you mean, do you want to say that the Empire and the Holy See are not cooperating to resist the hermitage plan? Of course, there were people who did this, and also tried to organize the most powerful people in the world to deal with the hermitage, but in the end, he still failed, because they didn't even know who their enemies were. ”

"Let me tell you this, until now, I suspect that Frodo, the first heir to the throne of the House of Constantine, has the shadow of the Hermit behind him, and the great Poseidon of the Holy See Inquisition, who is almost also a supporter of the idea of the Hermitage, oh yes, and the Christopher you once faced in the wasteland - these are all we guess and know, but what do we not know? The empire is so big, how many nobles in so many provinces have the influence of the hermit behind the scenes? How many lords were followers of the Insurgency in Diago, and no one knew that the Empire and the Holy See could not cooperate, even if they wanted to. ”

"Over the years, there is no doubt that the people who can know about this matter are also people who really have a certain position of power, but so what? After all, all they can do is to try to make some preparations according to their own ideas, just like the Messiah who walked out of the monastery of Pakira, I believe you have already seen it? For example, those nobles in the imperial capital of Stanford, do you really think that the Bourbon supported them to fight against the Constantine, Pompey and other families in the Zolo district? It's just a matter of making some preparations in advance, so that when that happens, you won't be helpless. ”

Augustus had a big head for a while.

It would be very powerful and terrifying to be able to think of hermitage.

But how could anyone have imagined how powerful and terrifying he really was?

They are hidden in the world, no one can see them, but everyone can feel their strength, their threat.

No wonder little Terina described them 'kindly' as a bunch of rats.

He had a headache and said, "Something has to be done, right? Now that you know Frodo, why don't you just take action?"

"What action did he take? Did he kill Frodo? But what did he do? On what basis did the empire condemn Frodo? What did he condemn? And Poseidon, he followed the faith of the Lord, expelled the darkness of the world, and judged those who had sinned, what crime did he have? How did His Majesty convict him? If it is really to be judged, I am afraid that even God does not know how to judge. ”

"We can't always take action against them for no reason, if that's the case, if we unreasonably kill all the people who might be involved with the hermitage, then how many people do we have to kill?

Oh, yes.

No matter how crazy those crazy people are, their starting point is the most righteous and brightest after all.

......

Augustus really understood Mass's powerlessness in the face of the monasticism.

He frowned deeply, pondered hard, and felt that this seemed to be a huge contradiction that could not be resolved.

When he thought of the contradiction, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

However, Mass didn't give him a chance to speak at all, met his eyes, and said with a smile: "Do you think that since you can't do anything in the human world, then you should go to the North? You are really smart, I have also thought about it, as long as they find a way to prevent them from uniting the Lich Races in the North, then their plans will naturally go bankrupt, in fact, this is the real reason why I went to the North back then-but Augustus, I must let you know that the Northland...... It's really dangerous, there are many powerful beings there that are almost beyond all of our human knowing, and you should know that if it weren't for your old butler, even me, I would probably sleep there forever. Therefore, in this world, there are only people like your old butler who can survive in the north, but the problem is, how many people are like him?"

Augustus pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then wondered, "But how did they do it? The Retreats didn't just survive in the North, they were almost able to carry out their will there, according to you. ”

"That was the only way that everyone finally agreed was the solution to this potential catastrophe. ”

Mass said bitterly, "Unfortunately, after all these years, no one can know how they did it, just like your Alfred, who has traveled to the north countless times in the more than 100 years since they were banished to the wasteland, but they still can't find this answer. ”

......

Augustus suddenly had a very bad feeling that things were about to turn against him again.

Really.

Mass took a sip of water and was silent before he said, "But now, with another better and more certain method, you should be able to think of it." ”

Augustus did not respond immediately.

The flame of the candle on the desk kept beating, and his expression was gloomy.

He said indifferently: "Since you know, then why do you want her to go back?"

She, of course, is referring to Her Majesty Empress Catherine, who is also Queen Augustus the Younger.

In any case, if they want to rule the North, the Hermitage will definitely have to strangle Catherine, who has a strong ruling power in the North, and must not return her to the peak of a thousand years ago, because they will not be able to let Her Majesty Empress Catherine also side with them.

On the contrary, if you want to stop the crazy plans of the hermitage, you only need to protect Terina, let her grow, and let her return to the top, which is originally very simple - although there is a lot of risk involved, no one can guarantee that once Catherine regains to be the same as she was a thousand years ago, what will she do, whether she will try to conquer the continent again like she did a thousand years ago.

"As I said, none of us know how many of us support the cult, so considering that even Poseidon and Frodo are possible, it is even more impossible to keep her, and there are at least powerful Titans and Shamans in the North who guard her compared to the human world. ”

Augustus was expressionless, and said slowly: "It turns out that this is the real purpose of what you told me about these secrets. ”

Mass looked at Augustus seriously and said calmly: "I have no purpose, you have always been Alfred's heir, and you have the right to know these things." ”

What if you know?

He has always been just an insignificant sinner in the wasteland, and even if he may be able to survive well in the wasteland at the moment, what can he do if even people like Mass and Queen Diana are helpless at the top of the pyramid of power? Don't forget, he just returned from the imperial capital, and he almost died in the imperial capital.

Augustus pursed his lips.

He really can't do anything, but no matter what, he must find little Terina as soon as possible, and then let her grow and wake up by his side day by day.

It's something he's going to do when he's going to die.

Originally.

Queen Diana stood on Van Domhain's castle and said: Sometimes, we can only make the wrong choice in order to get on the right path.

Now.

In a word, it is a prophecy.
