Chapter 64: Young
In the Augustan Sanctuary, in the cardinal's office, the protagonist Sauron received a phone call that had been ringing for a long time.
On the other end of the phone was Konstantin's pick-up priest in Xiangjiang and RB, and he said in a slightly trembling voice:
"Your Excellency Cardinal, I have a message for you - Your Excellency Constantine has done it.
He worked with Akutagawa Kagami and Hodo respectively......"
Hearing this news, Sauron's eyes lit up because he was disturbed, and he didn't wait for the priest on the other end of the phone to finish speaking, he directly interrupted him and said:
"Konstantin has finally made his move! See his powers? ”
The priest on the other end of the line paused for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment:
"I'm sorry, Cardinal, but I didn't see His Excellency Constantine work his powers.
When Akutagawa Mirror was the opponent, it was Akutagawa Mirror, who had already turned into a big tengu, and slashed at His Excellency Konstantin with an air slash, but he was the one who lost his head......
I still haven't figured out how His Excellency Constantine's ability works......"
Before the priest could finish speaking, Sauron's impatient voice came from the phone:
"Fadu, Fadu can always force out Constantine's ability......"
The priest on the phone didn't know how to answer, and he stammered, "Yes, it should be ......"
"What do you mean ......?" interrupted the priest in a gloomy voice, and then the cardinal continued:
"Didn't Fadu draw out Constantine's abilities either? It can't be ......"
The priest resignedly said:
"I didn't see anything......
When the two of them started, they were wrapped in thunderclouds.
I don't even know whose ability this thundercloud is......
There was a flash of lightning and thunder inside, and dozens of lightning bolts were struck.
Then、Then the thunderclouds dispersed, and only Fadu remained, and His Excellency Konstantin disappeared......"
"Konstantin is gone?" Sauron was stunned for a moment, he blinked, thought for a moment, and continued:
"Was he teleported away by Fadu with an ability, and died? Not even a corpse left? ”
The priest was silent for a moment, then said:
"Your Excellency, I don't see what's going on inside the thunderclouds.
Sorry we can't give you an exact answer......"
"Then you go ahead and investigate, and ...... right away," he said, and before the priest on the other end of the line could answer, Sauron had already hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Sauron got up and poured himself a glass of water.
After taking a big sip of the water, Sauron steadied himself and walked to the mirror.
After carefully arranging his bishop's robes, he left the cardinal's office and walked towards the area of the head of the sect on the upper floor.
The Holy See is divided into sixteen floors, the top of which is Auguste's private quarters.
Without August's consent, even he, the cardinal, could not come in at will.
After walking a long and narrow staircase, Sauron stood on the second step and said to the priest at the top of the staircase:
"Please convey to His Majesty the Great Augustus that Sauron, the most pious servant of the god Augustus, has important matters to meet His Majesty Auguste......"
The priest glanced at the cardinal, but instead of answering, he turned and walked towards the huge room inside.
After a few moments, the priest returned to Sauron and said:
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency Cardinal, His Majesty the Great August is praying.
It's a big prayer once every seven days, and it takes at least six hours to finish......"
The Great Prayer every seven days was August's exclusive ritual and was his channel of communication with the god Augustus.
It doesn't matter how much time it takes, it depends on how many instructions the god Augustus has
If it's nothing, it's just a kind word or two.
But the clergyman has been speaking for six hours now, and it seems that this time the god Augustus has a lot to tell......
Sauron, a cardinal of Augustus, was a natural believer in the Great Prayer.
Without the slightest hesitation, he said to the priest:
"Understood, then I'll come back to see Your Majesty in six hours......"
Just as Sauron returned to his office, in the huge room on the sixteenth floor.
August, who was supposed to be praying, was coming out of a bath that could hold dozens of people.
Two beautiful women walked over and wiped the water stains off his body with bath towels.
Auguste turned to the mirror opposite and looked at his flabby body through the mirror.
At the beginning, I was also full of muscles, and I don't know how many young and beautiful women will stick it on themselves.
But now? The two beauties around you, don't look at the ones who are usually charming to themselves.
But now when I wipe my body, I have unconsciously revealed a look of disgust on my face.
It's only for a moment, but it's enough to show what they're really thinking.
I'm old, I'm really old......
August sighed, and then, supported by the two beauties, walked to the soft collapse opposite.
One beautiful woman sat down on the soft slump first, and then another beautiful woman supported August to lie beside her, her head resting on the woman's lap.
After lying down, August said to himself:
"It seems that I am really old, and I should seriously consider the successor......"
The two beauties misunderstood, thinking that August was talking to the two of them.
Among them, the beauty who gave Auguste a pillow on her thighs said:
"Great Auguste, you are not old.
You look like you're only about sixty-fifty years old, but you're the number one powerhouse in the New World, and you can live another hundred years......"
"Being old is being old, and it has nothing to do with how long you can live......"
August laughed and patted the woman's thigh, then he sighed again and said:
"I know I'm old, and I don't have any desire for you anymore.
When I was younger, I was ......."
Speaking of this, August suddenly thought of something. He changed his words and continued:
"Tell me about the two of you, who will be the most suitable next August?"
The two beauties were stunned, and after glancing at each other, the woman who served August as he lay down said:
"Isn't the next August, Cardinal Sauron? This has been set for a long time......"
"My dear, nothing in this world cannot be changed, including the selection of the next August......"
August laughed and continued:
"So, let me put it another way......
If one of the two people, Sauron and Constantine, were to be chosen as their husband, who would be suitable? ”
Without thinking, the two beauties said in unison:
"Your Excellency Constantine, if you choose a husband, it must be him, at least he is younger than His Excellency Sauron......"
"yes, they all like young people......" August smiled again, and he closed his eyes.
Before falling asleep, he finally said:
"It's good to be young, Konstantin, I'm starting to envy you......"
