Chapter 56: The Virgin VI
"Your Highness, you don't seem to be very satisfied with the progress. Charlotte appeared in the hall and said.
"Thinking rationally, this progress is actually very fast, but in three months, we need to face the beast tide, so we are a little anxious. Austin said.
“...... Even so, isn't His Highness going to rush it?, maybe you can speed it up a little?" Charlotte asked after hearing Austin's words.
"Now the people in charge of important positions are people who know the situation, they don't delay anything, if they are too pushing, something goes wrong, but it will be more troublesome. As the saying goes, if you want to hurry, you can't get there. ”
Austin said, looking at Charlotte's face, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I didn't intend to hide it from you about the Holy Maiden. ”
"Hmm"
"We can't turn our faces with the church now, the biggest problem is the beast tide, among the many forces, only the church is ready for this, so ......"
"I know, Your Highness. "It's really important to us. ”
"Charlotte, our conflict with the church cannot be resolved peacefully, so, about the church, please allow me to wait, okay. Austin said.
"Your Highness, I know what you think, and I won't embarrass you. You don't have to do that for us. Charlotte said with a wry smile.
"If you think so, that's fine. Austin said.
Looking at Charlotte's back, Austin knew that Charlotte, who knew the truth, would not be as calm as she is now. However, as the number two person, how can I hide such a thing from her?
“...... It's troublesome. Austin subconsciously said and covered his mouth. smiled bitterly, it's really not good to do administration by yourself, many things are not as smooth as imagined, a simple policy, they can play tricks, fortunately it is a wartime state now, and they have successfully mastered the control here, or the trouble continues.
The road was repaired, because of the beast tide, so Austin did not renovate the room, but built an underground shelter, which cost most of the manpower and material resources.
Before he knew it, Austin fell asleep on the table.
After the saint returned to the camp, the chief knight said with some complaints: "My lord, why did you disappear alone, and we are also guarding you, so it doesn't seem that we are very incompetent." ”
"There's no next time, I, see hope. That guy Hawthorn is obviously a stuffy oil bottle, but he always has good things to do. The holy woman changed her image and said with some excitement, then grabbed the hand of the chief knight Huska and said, "In three days, we will enter the town. Then, a different world will be seen. ”
"Yes, I know, Holy Maiden, please let go. After Haskar struggled to break free from the Holy Maiden, he received it with some reluctance. As the chief knight of the knighthood who protects the saint, he has long known what the saint looks like. The first time, it was still very disillusioned, after all, the majestic and unhurried, full of a sense of sacredness, would be as angry and happy as a little girl.
"Austin, he's been replaced. The saint said.
"Huh?" Hakkassia cried out in surprise after a moment's pause.
"I don't know who he is, but he's a great man. The saint said.
After hearing the saint's words, Khakassia was a little puzzled and a little nervous, and said, "In this way, will it affect us anything?"
"He is hostile to the church, but he is not an enemy. The saint said.
Khakassia didn't understand what it meant to be hostile to the saint, but not an enemy. The saint did not explain.
Gray came to the army a little unhappy, and after seeing Hawthorn, he said, "Lord Hawthorn, you took the Holy Maiden yesterday and walked around all our facilities, can you explain?"
"Your Highness has allowed it. Hawthorn said.
"Even with Your Highness's permission, you are not the only one who would bring strangers to these places, especially the Institute, which is a high-secret place where His Highness gave his death order. So, you must know the Holy Maiden. Gray said.
"I know her, she is my friend and will be His Highness's companion. Hawthorn said.
"Even if that's the ......," Gray said, after sighing, he didn't pursue the matter, after all, Hawthorn was able to enter the institute, and it was completely his own side that had a problem, "Forget it, after all, I didn't do it properly." ”
"I'm sorry about this, my friend is alive now, and that's her, so I won't go to these places again. Hawthorn said.
"Hmm"
After Gray left the army, he came to the mansion, hesitated for a moment, walked in, and after telling Austin about the matter, he looked at Austin with some apprehension.
"This matter, you just didn't get the news in time, it doesn't matter if the rest arrives, if Hawthorn really wants to go in, no one can stop him. Moreover, I gave Hawthorn the privilege, although I knew that they knew each other, but I didn't expect Hawthorn to do this. Austin didn't blame Gray too much, and Hawthorn was a bug no matter who he said to anyone. A person like Hawthorn who is a thousand troops alone, there is no one who can limit him at all, and a person who can dodge the shrapnel from the explosion alone is basically not a human being.
For Gray, with all the dark lines in the town, it can be said that there is nothing beyond his control in the entire town, but it was only today that Gray realized how incompetent the dark lines he thought were useless, and at a critical time, they were useless. So it seems a little frustrated.
"What's wrong? I'm a little frustrated, not like my intelligence minister, Gray. Austin asked.
After Gray told him about it, Austin smiled and said, "It's only been a few months, and you've already created an intelligence network covering the entire town, and you're already invincible, okay?" In terms of the progress of the work that everyone is responsible for, you have the highest degree of completion. What is there to be frustrated about. Austin said.
After hearing Austin's words, Gray felt a little better, and when he was about to say something, Charlotte approached at this time, saw Gray nodded slightly, and said, "Your Highness, please decide on the candidate for the reconnaissance of the Magic Forest." ”
