The city of Augustus is luxurious, expansive, the neat white rock streets seem to be ivory, the tall buildings are lined up, the aristocratic villas and estates are built in the city, the city's main road is large enough to accommodate eight horse-drawn carriages side by side, and the pedestrians on the streets have both a sense of leisure to enjoy life and a sense of rush to chase wealth, and there is a luxurious atmosphere everywhere.

According to the bard, the city of Augustus, with its "golden rivers, ivory towers, and emerald bricks", was the administrative center of the imperial capital, and countless nobles lived in Augustus, and for mercenaries and wandering knights, it was full of opportunities and fierce competition.

There were a total of eight gates in Augusto, and in order to maintain the security of the huge royal capital, more than 10,000 guards were stationed in the city at any time, and many guardians lived in the city for a long time.

After half a month, the investigation team of the Holy See arrived at Augustus.

In the carriage, Ivo looked at the Augustus, the city seemed to have a unique aura, allowing people to taste the nobility and elegance, and the inhabitants of the royal capital of the Odin Empire were very proud and proud, thus forming the unique appearance of the city.

In the center of the city is the royal palace, and the large and small imperial administrations are located around the palace, controlling the pulse of a continent.

Westminster Abbey is the church of Augusto, and it is almost one of the largest churches in the world, the presiding officer here is the rank of the Exgetable, but the status is almost equal to that of the cardinal, and has a large number of Augusto-Cauline aristocratic connections.

The Holy See has always been close to the Odin Empire, and most of the nobles are believers, and some noble newborns will be the godsons of some great priests.

The carriage stopped outside the door of Westminster Abbey, and the two priests had already received the news and were waiting outside the door, Ivo stepped out of the carriage and took a slight look, Westminster Abbey is located in a busy area, but the neighborhood is very quiet, which shows the majesty of the church here.

"Welcome, personal deacon of the Pope. ”

Ivo nodded, and followed the two priests inside, he was going to explain his intention to the overarcher, and ask the overlord to help him contact the city administrator and ask for some investigative facilities, such as the right to investigate freely in certain streets or houses.

Although the Holy See had a high status in Augusto, it did not mean that it could easily influence the administration of the city, and only Ivo, who came to negotiate on behalf of the Pope, could obtain this privilege.

Ivo's mission is to facilitate the Night's Watch's investigation, and he doesn't care about anything else, because the Night's Watch is hostile to him, and he is only prepared to do his part.

The Overarch was a shrewd old man, and quickly arranged a meeting for Ivo and the magistrates.

The meeting went well, the Holy See had already sent an application to the Empire before leaving, Ivo only made a few simple mentions and obtained the right to investigate, and Brandt and the others acted quickly and immediately set off to the suspicious location to investigate.

Ivo was idle, and he learned the whereabouts of Barlow and Hades through the teleportation badge, and went to find them alone.

......

In the tavern, the four finally met after months of separation.

Andra tugged at Ivo's priestly robes and looked surprised to verify the authenticity, "I haven't seen you for a while, and I am completely unprepared for you to suddenly join the Holy Court." ”

Ivo shrugged, "Is Nafi okay?"

"Her injuries have long since healed, and her talent has been discovered, and she has become a mage in the Nine Towers and studied witchcraft," Barlow said after taking a sip of wine, "I heard that several big people are very optimistic about her talent and are ready to accept her as a disciple." ”

Ivo looked relieved, and missed Nafi very much, "When I'm done with these things, I'll go find her, how is the treasure map?"

Ander's face was suddenly full of embarrassment, and he recounted Andre's experience of bombing them away many times.

Ivo was dumbfounded, how long has it been, and there has been no progress at all......

No, there is still progress, and the three of Barlow have succeeded in making the "collector" Andre even more repulsive.

"That old man doesn't go in with oil and salt, he doesn't listen to any conditions, maybe he also has the idea of collecting all the treasure maps," Barlow frowned, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Ivo touched his chin, shook his head and said, "The other party is not short of money, collecting rare things is his habit, maybe he wants to exchange treasures with him, does he have anything to want?"

Barlow shook his head, "I don't know." ”

Ivo said helplessly, "Then let's talk about it then, let's go and plan the treasure map in the hands of the Torredo bloodline first." ”

Ender worried, "Boss, the Torredo Bloodline is reluctant to come into contact with strangers, and they are a dangerous group of guys, probably even more difficult to deal with than Andre. ”

Ivo smirked, "Don't worry, I just have the chips on me to attract them." ”

......

Ivo was ready to plan and move, and for the first two days, he and his companions first inquired about the information, and then went to plot two treasure maps after finding out the situation in the city of Augustus.

Brant had little to gain for two days, and they found the mark of the Heresy Aid's gathering companions in an abandoned house, but the house was almost demolished, and the Night's Watch found no secret passages or other clues, so Brant had to resort to the most time-consuming carpet search, giving Ivo a lot of free time.

The attitude of the Exarch of Westminster Abbey was not salty or indifferent, and Ivo estimated that the Exgescript's hostility towards him was not serious, so he simply lived in the side hall of the church, and went to talk to the Exgerant when he had nothing to do, and the Exgetor treated the Pope's personal deacon with enough respect.

From the Bishop of the Exgele, Ivo gradually understood the status of the Holy See in Augusto.

Most of the Imperial nobles were friendly to the Holy See, and would invite church priests to participate in the meeting, and although they were priests, they were also considered members of the upper circle of the Empire.

"The Earl of Jenon has convened a party at his villa to invite the priest of Westminster Abbey, Deacon Ivo, I am sure that the nobles will welcome you, do you want to come with us?"

Over the course of two days, the relationship between the Exgesian and Ivo grew friendly, and on this day the Exgere extended an invitation to Ivo.

Ivo thought for a moment and smiled, "Of course, I'm honored to participate. ”

Andre is a member of the nobility, and the nobles' gathering is an opportunity to find out his details, and I heard that the Toredo blood is mixed in the various parties, and if you are lucky, you may be able to meet the Toredo blood.

"It's tonight, so change your clothes. ”

Ivo looked at the priest's robe on his body, "Isn't this one okay?"

"You'd better wear a high-ranking priest's robe that matches your status, you're the Pope's personal deacon. ”

Ivo shook his head and refused, if it was to attract attention at the party, then how could he quietly inquire for information.

......

At night, Ivo, dressed in ordinary priestly robes, followed the Exgerces, to a villa in the Tulip District of Augustus, the aristocratic quarter of Augusto.

Earl Jenon's butler respectfully welcomed the two in, "Welcome, Lord Overseer. ”

There was a banquet in the villa, and the Overseer was greeted by Count Jenon himself as soon as he entered, and Ivo stood by smiling, and the nobles present thought that he was the Exgere's retinue and did not observe much.

The Doge wanted to introduce Ivo to everyone, but Ivo refused before he left.

Ivo looked around and saw that the gathering of the nobles of the Odin Empire was not much different from that of the Kingdom of Lasseth, only more luxurious.

The aristocratic ladies in evening dresses chatted elegantly, coping with the chatter of the aristocratic youth, drunk and drunk, and staggered, Ivo was not suitable for such an occasion, so he took a glass of wine and wandered around the scene, eavesdropping on the content of other people's chats, looking for his own target.

Soon, Ivo locked on a handsome man, the Viscount of the Torredo Bloodline, who had come to the party to hunt Yan, and several noble ladies gathered around him, chatting and laughing.

"That's you. Ivo's heart moved.

......

"Alba, how are you listless?"

In the corner of the banquet, there stood two aristocratic ladies, one of whom looked very charming, soft as a boneless, exuding a fairy-like temperament. Another listless lady, with a healthy complexion like wheat, with firm skin, and although she wore a skirt, she had a resolute temperament, like a soldier, and her appearance was on par with that of her charming companions, and it was another kind of beauty, and she looked very beautiful.

These two beauties attracted a lot of attention, but the male nobles present basically knew the two, and knew that Alba, a wheat-skinned woman, was a strong officer who had broken the ribs of three male nobles who were talking to him, so there were many people around the two of them, and no one talked to them.

Rebecca and Alba grew up as playmates, both from large aristocratic families.

Alba muffled, "Rebecca, you know I don't like this kind of occasion, every time someone accostes me, I want to beat him up." ”

Rebecca smiled charmingly, "So no one is pursuing you." ”

Alba was depressed, "I'd rather use these hours to practice my sword skills than to date a man. ”

Rebecca couldn't help but laugh, "You can't marry like this." ”

"If I can't get married, I'll marry you. Alba said with a sigh of relief.

"I'm not like you, and those who like me can line up from the palace to the city gates. Rebecca was slightly colorful, "There is not a single young man in this villa who can resist my charm. ”

Alba pouted, "Not necessarily, I don't think that priest can like you." She gestured to Ivo, who was not far away.

Rebecca's eyes lit up and she smiled softly, "He's going to like me soon." ”

With that, Rebecca walked towards Ivo, who was unconscious.

Alba shook his head helplessly, looked at Ivo again, and suddenly sighed in his heart, feeling a little familiar, as if he had seen his portrait on some piece of intelligence.
