Chapter 166: The Ant and the Elephant

Inconsequential. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Augustus's sneer on his face gradually froze, he must be angry, there is nothing more than his fate being completely controlled by others, fiddling with it at will, and his inability to resist at all makes him even more angry, especially his desire to control itself is quite strong, but anger is anger, Augustus must also admit that in this whole thing, Queen Diana did just say a few inconsequential words, although these few inconsequential words almost made him fall into hell forever, and almost made the entire imperial capital into turmoil, but so what? Can it make any difference for Diana?

Apparently not.

This only made Augustus realize more deeply that in the imperial capital, in the eyes of many big people he could not see, the fate of his sinner was really insignificant.

King of the Wasteland?

Isn't it still a sinner?

Augustus clenched his fists tightly, anger and humiliation almost took him breathless, he lay on the stone bed with his eyes closed, his clenched fists released and clenched again countless times, obviously struggling to restrain his emotions, he didn't speak for a long time, until his breathing finally calmed down, and his palms were no longer clenched, he turned his head sideways to look at Queen Diana, who was still smiling and sitting beside him, and said slowly in a calm tone that made people's hearts palpitate: "I like the summary of your statement, especially the last one is irrelevant." ”

Diana, who was always smiling, smiled even brighter: "Really? Great, it seems that we have found a common entry point for the conversation." ”

Augustus didn't say anything more, not surprised by the fall of the chief secretary of state of the empire, although until now he didn't know why Diana could have guessed that he would flee to this abandoned monastery in the morning, and obviously waited here for a long time, but since there was her shadow in this whole thing, Augustus certainly wouldn't think that she was here to save him and play the role of his savior.

He did not respond, Diana smiled and did not speak, but in the silence Miss Lucia's anger and anger disappeared completely—what a joy, the source of all the pain of this mean sinner, must be the source of Miss Lucia's happiness.

"Alfred has a grudge against you?"

Augustus' clueless question broke the silence and interrupted Miss Lucia's pleasant mood.

However, Queen Diana didn't seem to think that Augustus's question was abrupt at all, and even more like she had expected Augustus to have this question, she shook her head directly, didn't fall into the trap again, and didn't mock him in the end she couldn't help but ask, just faced Augustus's calm face, and smiled in her characteristic gentle tone: "Of course not, why do you ask like this?"

Augustus narrowed his eyes: " This is the first time I have left the wasteland, and it is also the first time I have come to the imperial capital, and as for being able to sit face to face in front of you, it is the first time I have not expected, and considering that the distance between me, a lowly criminal, and you is definitely greater than the moat, I have no chance of provoking you, in this case, I really can't think of any reason for you to say those few inconsequential words, and what reason do you want me to stay in the imperial capital and never leave alive。 ”

"It seems that this is indeed the logic. ”

Diana thought about it with interest, and suddenly restrained her smile without warning, and said seriously: "But before answering your question, I want to know, how much do you know about your Alfred?"

Augustus was stunned.

One is that he doesn't know why Diana has this problem, and the other is that he does know that he doesn't know much about Alfred as much as he imagined, because from the moment he came to this world, he knew that Alfred must not be as simple as he saw, otherwise how could the Alfred family ensure the overall stable operation in that crumbling situation? Is it really just because of Elizabeth? Furthermore, if Alfred was just an abandoned and declining family in the wasteland, how could he have anything to do with the oldest and most powerful hermit in Terina's mouth? Why did the hermit put his father to death? And how could Alfred have such a powerful old butler who was the only one who depended on old Vernon? And how many secrets did old Vernon, who was so powerful and existed at the top of the pyramid of the human world, have in him?

There were too many questions, and as he came into contact with them over the months, Augustus became more suspicious of Alfred.

......

"Or rather, why did you come to the imperial capital?"

may also be aware that Augustus has not answered for a long time, and Queen Diana is clearly deliberately guiding.

But the question is, what does his knowledge of Alfred have to do with his coming to the imperial capital?

Augustus frowned slightly, not to mention Elizabeth, he came to the imperial capital mainly for two things, the first was to look for an opportunity to try to understand what kind of organization the enemy hermit society that he couldn't see, but this matter obviously had nothing to do with the chief state secretary of the empire, because if she was related to the hermitage society, then she had no reason to wait for him here, wouldn't it be better to watch him walk step by step towards the abyss of death? Anyway, the secretary of state, who looks like the aunt next door, doesn't have the kind of free time to play a boring game of cat and mouse, if he doesn't have a lot of opportunities?

The second thing was about Attila, who was mentioned many times in his father's notes.

Attila.

Thinking of this, Augustus's eyes widened suddenly, and he stared at Diana, who was sitting in front of him.

He was indeed shocked, and this absurd thought that suddenly occurred did bring him a great impact, he couldn't believe this possibility at all, but his subconscious couldn't help but think about what would happen if this possibility was true?

The result was clear, and if that was the case, she asked Augustus how well he knew Alfred, and why Augustus had come to the imperial capital, and even why she had appeared in this monastery to save Augustus, and even had a reasonable explanation for why she had appeared in this monastery to save Augustus - but the question came again, how was this possible?

How could the Chief Secretary of State of the Empire, the de facto master of the vast Van Domhain family, be involved with a guilty family in the Dirty Wasteland?

Augustus felt his mouth dry, and his narrowed eyes could no longer hide his shock, his doubt.

He struggled to speak, "Attila?"

Diana, who restrained her smile, did not change her expression, no longer the aunt next door, and her blind calmness finally gave her an awe-inspiring temperament that matched her identity.

But after all, she still didn't show the confusion she should have at Augustus's inexplicable three words, and even seemed to have been waiting for Augustus to mention this, she ignored Augustus's series of emotional changes from shock to shock to disbelief, and said calmly: "Holy See' Attila was the first apostle sent by the Lord to the earth, from the vast Aegean Sea to the distant ancient continent, his footprints were all over the world, so that countless people believed in the Lord and were willing to serve the Lord all their lives, in the Holy See, the uncrowned apostle is considered to be the first person to create the Holy Continent, and the legend says that the sword he held when he conquered the continent was the whip of God. ”

Whip of God.

Augustus suddenly remembered the stele he had seen lying in front of the abandoned monastery before he fell unconscious.

It seems that the name of this monastery also happens to be the whip of God?

The answer was gradually revealed, even if Augustus couldn't believe this absurd fact, but he was already very clear that what he saw and heard was the truth, he suddenly felt that he seemed to have grasped the answers to many questions, but when he seriously thought about every question in his heart, he sadly found that he knew too little about Alfred and this world after all, at this time he was like standing in a misty jungle, vaguely able to see the exit, but he couldn't find the direction at all, so in the end, he just said gloomily:" I don't understand. ”

I don't understand how the exiled Alfred could keep close contact with the Empire's Chief Secretary of State, and why did Queen Diana say those inconsequential words to kill him, given that she had been in contact with his father all these years in this monastery?

"There's nothing I don't understand. ”

Queen Diana understated that from the time she appeared in front of Augustus until now, she has always maintained the same sitting position, which shows her strong control and mind, she continued: " Your father died too suddenly, and I don't know you well enough, and considering your age, even though what you have done in the wasteland has proven your ability to some extent, I still need to test you further, I need to know you, know your abilities, know your skills, and then decide whether you can take over all that Alfred, so what you have encountered in the imperial capital is just a test. ”

I see.

It turned out that instigating the whole emperor to stand in opposition to him, a criminal citizen, and almost sending him to hell, was only a test of whether he, Alfred's helmsman, was capable of taking over all of Alfred's all-comical and irony, but for Augustus, the most and greatest was actually sadness.

He was tempted to ask her why, whether he had the power to control Alfred, what had to do with her to take over Alfred, and why she decided his fate, but in the end he didn't ask anything, because he knew very well that he was not qualified to ask at all-just like an ant appeared on an elephant's path, and was it necessary for the elephant to ask for the ant's opinion to wait for it to move?
