Chapter 54: The Fourth Virgin
"Gray, what's wrong? I heard you're looking for me, what's the matter?" Charlotte met Hawthorn, who had just arranged for Karen to take refuge, and quickly informed Hawthorn to protect His Highness, and then quickly rushed to His Highness herself. Gray, who happened to meet him looking for his advantage, looked panicked and asked.
"Lord Charlotte, this ......" Gray didn't know how to answer, he had gone to Charlotte and didn't want him to meet the saint, but the things that followed changed too quickly, and he forgot about her, after thinking about it, he felt that His Highness didn't seem to want to hide these things, and what he couldn't see should not be too important, so he said helplessly, "His Highness is talking to the saint, and she came alone." ”
Charlotte followed Gray's gaze and found Austin talking to the Holy Maiden.
"Is that the Holy Maiden?" Charlotte asked coldly.
"Hmm"
"It seems that the talk with His Highness is okay, let's not add to the blockage, let's go. Charlotte turned to leave, when the saint suddenly set her eyes on Charlotte.
Austin followed the gaze of the saint and looked back at Charlotte, and said: "She is the witch who was persecuted by you, although I want to avoid this matter, but you also said that you asked me about her position, and you know it now, so this matter cannot be avoided." ”
Austin said this, in the eyes of others, it is only arrogant, after all, Austin's power is not worth mentioning compared to the church, and the saint's willingness to deign to come here to talk about cooperation with you belongs to giving you a great face, and at this moment it seems that the two sides are equal.
To be honest, even Austin himself feels that it is a bit exaggerated to say this at this time, which is why he is reluctant to say it now. However, since he dares to say this, he is naturally confident in the prospects for the development of his own forces.
The same is true for the saint, the forces here in Austin are still weak, and if you want to deal with it, it is not simple. Just fighting with the power of the kingdom is a troublesome thing. Besides, there is another person here, which is not easy to deal with. There are also the so-called miracles, the beast tide that needs to be dealt with, all of which make it impossible for the church to do anything against Austin's forces.
There are a lot of hidden secrets about the witch trial, which will definitely not be said to Austin, although Austin himself has a great misunderstanding of this matter, but it will not affect the cooperation. And Charlotte, whose influence here is far from enough, is nothing.
"I'm not going to explain anything to you right now, but when we do work together, you can see why we're doing it. The saint said, "For now, let's fight the beast tide together. Only by carrying the tide of beasts can there be a future. ”
After hearing the words of the Holy Maiden, Austin smiled and said: "Indeed, in the face of the beast tide, those contradictions between us seem small, now let's cooperate with each other for the time being in order to resist the beast tide." How about the rest of the story?"
"Okay, but let's see what your so-called weapon is, it's not as exaggerated as you say, it's as exaggerated as you say, and the result is definitely different. The saint said.
"Well, you don't have to look at it, you can feel it quickly. Austin looked at the shadows on the ground, felt that the time was almost up, and said.
"What......" When the saint was a little puzzled and wanted to ask something, suddenly there was a loud noise in the distance, and the saint felt the ground shake.
"A few miles from here, General Hawthorn and his army personally lit gunpowder, which was used to open the mountain and open the mountain that stood in the way of this place and the outside world. Austin said, then looked at the somewhat shocked saintess and asked, "Do you want to go and see the scene?" To be honest, I don't know exactly what the power is. ”
"Of course, please take me to see it. The saint said.
"Then please come with me. Austin said very gentlemanly.
After the two had been gone for a while, Austin found out about the manpower arranged by Gray, after all, many of them were chosen by themselves.
"Come here, I'm just talking about you, you're what I picked out, don't pretend. Austin pointed to a porter and said,
"Your Highness......" The porter walked over a little helplessly and said.
"Why didn't Gray come? I thought I'd run into him on the road." Austin asked.
"Lord Gray, he ......," said the porter, hesitantly.
"Gray may have been scared by me, or maybe he was guarding against me, so he must have been around. The saint said.
Austin smiled and said, "No way, Gray is my important minister, how can he be scared." ”
"Maybe I went too far. The saint said.
"Your Highness, are you looking for me?" Gray said as he saw that Austin had found the person he had arranged, sighed, walked out, and said.
"You're derelict in your duties. "If she had malicious intent, I would have died." ”
"Well, Your Highness, I was derelict in my duties, please condemn me. Gray said as he half-knelt on the ground.
"Forget it, a haunted person like the Holy Maiden, we don't have the energy to put our energy here now. However, in the future, such things ......," Austin said, paused, thought for a moment, and said, "If you think about it carefully, the responsibility for this matter should be mine, and nothing will happen if you don't run around." However, the identity system should be worked out quickly. ”
"Yes"
"Okay, let's all leave, don't waste all the manpower here. ”
"This ...... "Well," said Gray, and after a moment, he said, "Your Highness, this is the Holy Maiden, and, Sir Charlotte, it seems a little unhappy to see you talking to the Holy Maiden. ”
"Oh, I'll explain this to Charlotte later. Austin said.
"Hmm"
"Your Highness is really loved. The saint said after looking at the people around her who were suddenly less than half of them.
"Love, just a little lightening their burden. Austin said.
"It is this burden that is very rare, and it can be lightened instead of increasing the burden at this time when armaments are urgently needed, which in itself is a great thing. The saint said with emotion.
Before they knew it, the two of them had arrived at Hawthorn's garrison.
"Hawthorn, long time no see. When the saint saw Hawthorn, she was the first to speak.
"Aren't you supposed to be still on the road, why did you throw your men aside and run over?" said Hawthorn, who was not surprised to see the holy woman.
"So you know each other. Austin said.
"Yes, Your Highness, we have been teammates for a while because of certain things. Hawthorn said.
