Chapter 5 Secrets and Starting Points
The lame boy walked in front with a torch, while Augustine led the little girl whose name should be Elizabeth, and walked down step by step into the dark abyss of unknown.
"I have two golden puppets left on me, a gamma crystal that is close to the purity of 'will', and two classics borrowed from St. John's Church. I declared in advance that the book "Flowers and Blood" was a private property bought by the lady from her own pocket." The little girl held Augustine's hand, climbed a small white python on her slender shoulders. As Augustine's personal butler, she had tender fingers, "Your things are mine, but mine is not yours. In addition, there are only two lame men on your wealth list. Augustine, if we can't dig out some valuable things from this castle, you are an absolute pauper."
"Pandora and Ares are not my private property." Augustine smiled, looking softly at the young man in white clothes walking ahead.
"Isn't it?" the girl disagreed, "A bad junior astrologer, a victim of the family. If it weren't for you, she would have long become a toy for the nobles. As for this little idiot who only knows how to count stars in the sky, the bloodline on his body is interesting. Augustine, don't you have more proactive servants? Luo Tongzild, who is known as the tumbler of the imperial political circle, has such a little family background?"
Augustine did not respond.
This is probably a sign of his anger. She is now just a poor "child" whose strength is as close as a baby, so Elizabeth tactfully stopped sarcasm to the two lame men and mocked the family behind Augustine. She had been with him for a while and had found out about the details of each other, knowing that this former empire star has always been kind on the surface, but in fact, as long as he does not violate the bottom line, his patience is very consistent with him
The identity of the "hybrid" of the great noble heir and the ascetic monk Maedeola, but once violated, he often tortures each other without hesitation, like a heretic. The bloody "Miss Elizabeth" who likes the most is actually very fond of Augustine's hideous and dark side, but the premise must be that the object of being hideous is not herself. She does not want the only pet she left is placed on the fire and grilled again, and then asks her with a smile if it tastes fragrant.
"Do you like Pandora?" Elizabeth asked softly.
"She likes me." Augustine, whose face was immersed in the dark, responded softly.
The problem is that in this world, those who like him seem to have no good luck. Pandora, who was sent to hell from heaven, was one of the few characters who survived like a cripple boy. Augustine kept them by her side, to some extent, not a relaxed and pleasant thing. Elizabeth raised her little head and looked at the blurred young man, held his hand, shook it, and shook it twice. He finally lowered his head, and Elizabeth finally saw most of his face that should be considered handsome according to human aesthetics. What attracted her the most was the pair of eyes, without any hesitation. Compared to seeing him at first, this guy became stronger and stronger. This was a very strange feeling, like a puppet with thin souls, becoming thicker and heavier. One day, he would mature.
"Augustin, you are a monster cultivated by the Empire and the Holy See. Sister, please be optimistic about you." Elizabeth suddenly smiled, then frowned, jumping from a very ethereal topic to a very vulgar but practical issue. "But the food on the carriage cannot last for a few days, at most a week, and the nearest town has several days' itinerary from Black Swan Lake Manor. What should I do?"
"Let Ares catch some wild animals. When I passed by the town, I brought some seasonings to the carriage. I promised that it would be more delicious than the barbecue at the aristocratic party. Before the two people assigned to me by the Holy See and Lord Hae-Ji arrived at Brother Shi, we didn't need to go out to buy any supplies." Augustine explained, but he did not expect the Holy See to the Holy See and the resources allocated to him would not be evaporated on the road. As for Lord Hae-Ji's "Hothorn", Augustine still looked forward to it. After all, it was a "feast" that everyone coveted. He prayed that the team would be as "lucky" as his itinerary.
"Without red wine and cheese, how can you ensure that a lady can develop healthily?" Elizabeth began to go crazy again.
"Don't complain to a pauper," Augustine smiled.
The steps extend downward in a spiral shape and suspended in the air.
The brighter the underside of Yuewang, because the walls are embedded with a large number of fluorites, which can maintain such a degree of brightness in 50 years, is enough to prove their value during the initial period of use. Many of the things that are priced are of little value, but most valuable things are expensive.
The stairs are not deep. After walking for 5 minutes, you can see the hugeness of the underground building without a torch and its epic depth.
The stairs stopped on the first floor underground. This was an outrageously large hollow circle building. Augustine estimated that the concentric circle of this floor was about 2 kilometers. In fact, after he surrounded it, Elizabeth reported the circumference of the three digits after the decimal point, 2439 points and 61 meters, 243961. This number occupies a place in magic terms and is known as the "tail of gold". It is the base number that is widely quoted by magic, arcane and alchemy.
"There are at least 5 layers below." The little girl said excitedly. She always had a natural sense of intimacy towards the hidden dark things.
There are three entrances for this concentric circle, which can be seen that the longitudinal and horizontal directions have great potential to explore. Augustine was not in a hurry to pass through the entrance. He just stood at the inner edge of the concentric circle, and leaned out slightly and looked down.
It's bottomless.
"This is a pulse point with extremely abundant natural nuclear weights. It is the most suitable array eye for summoning abyss creatures in the continent except for the growth locations of 7 ancient life trees. If you are lucky, there is a matching large magic array below. You will get a bunch of high-quality scrolls that can make you burst out with a sufficient amount of nuclear weights. Then, with the Titan Longyan Staff you have at hand, you can probably invite a doll that is shocking enough. Let me think, well, it is unlikely that the lord-level abyss species at the top of the food chain such as Hell Hydra, but there is still a chance to invite a Medusa who is as high as 20 or 30 meters." She sat on Augustine's shoulder, shaking her little feet, and her smile was bright.
"Ideals are always wonderful, reality is always cruel. Let's take it step by step." Augustine shook her head and smiled, turning around and walking into a passage.
This is simply a secret military base comparable to a top maze.
There are abandoned prisons, laboratories, residential areas, storage rooms, and as long as a strategic large castle has a functional facility, there are no omissions here, and everything is included. The only flaw is that the layout of this maze seems cumbersome and dragging, slightly bloated because of the pursuit of a certain deformed beauty and concealment. Augustine and the other two walked for nearly half an hour, and had not repeated even a short distance, which shows that its scale is huge. Augustine could not imagine how many imperial Caesar gold coins would be consumed by those high-end fluorescent stones. "Is this war?" An abstract concept that was unfamiliar to him appeared in Augustine's mind.
"This is just a microcosm of the many wars between the Parliament of Judahma and our midgod and your Pope and the House of Parliament. We may have just left one tenth or even one tenth of it. 40 years ago, how many "hereths" in the eyes of human beings stood here, and how many "compatriots" in your ruling died here? Yes, this is the war between us and you. This is not a disaster that can be stopped or saved by one or two saints who love all races. Do you know why I am still by your side until today?" "Miss Elizabeth" gently held Augustine's head and shouted Augustine's name intimately. This time, there was no sense of inappropriate absurdity, but like a mother elder showing the kindness and warmth of the younger generation.
"Because I'm handsome?" Augustine smiled.
She was wearing a simple shell and did not make a sound. Augustine was a little embarrassed, reminding him of the last cold joke to the witch. It seemed that women like them were very immune to this black humor that was immediately effective among the illusions. Elizabeth, who was originally the most keen to play with Augustine men and women, had no desire to "flirt with him" and continued: "You have a talent like you, and there are many empire geniuses, but you are not only a penniless noble family, but also a priest who cannot turn over again. He has nothing and even opportunities are strangled in the cradle. A guy who is so sad that you can't find a second in the empire. Even you, a little pitiful person, can't cooperate with whom I can deal with?"
She paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Besides, I am a woman. I often stay up late to think about it, fight and kill, and I will not be able to get married."
Augustine laughed, "Miss Elizabeth, if you have a gentler temper, a bigger body, a plump breasts, and a younger age, I firmly believe that you will find a suitable male mate."
"In my world, there are countless strong people who pursue this lady! If I click my fingers, I can make a group of top geniuses from various fields make this empire a lot of holes." She regained her true nature, bit Augustine's ear in principle, and chewed wildly.
"Come on, just add the faith points formulated by the chief giant Leston. This is a good idea. Just spread the news and say that you were being kept by a damn human aristocrat and need a warrior to step up. Then I discussed with Miss Elizabeth, who has both beauty and wisdom, set up a trap, catch one by one, hide it and study it yourself, and give it to the three giants of the Sacrament Department. This is a very feasible plan. How about it, Miss Elizabeth, who has many suitors, has the desire to cooperate?" Augustine said with his eyes flashing, not as if he was joking. A person is crazy about being poor, and even the crazy thoughts can be forced out.
"Unless you are already intimate with the three unattainable dark giants and can guarantee that they will not design you, once two or three come, you will be eaten alive, and whoever catches you as a test subject may not be able to do it." She sneered.
"Well, safety and stability are overwhelming." Augustine sighed, his eyes lit up. He finally hit the entrance to the second floor underground. He stopped at the door, turned his head and looked at Elizabeth who was close to him, and asked, "Do you remember the way back?"
"Remember, but I won't help you lead the way unless you promise to give me the lowest level as a nest." Elizabeth raised an evil smile.
Augustine rolled her eyes. Unless she had no choice but to talk to the old witch with an innocent face. The lame boy who looked like an idiot with an IQ equal to zero, turned his head and squeezed out a shy smile at Augustine. Elizabeth was stunned for a moment and screamed. It was the first time she saw this entourage adopted by the Rotten Child family showing human characteristics. She used to think that this blond cripple named Ares was just trained to develop into a rigid character in the direction of a mobile arsenal. Seeing the entourage who symbolized the last petal of purple flowers, Augustine breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that there was no need to worry about not being able to find the way back, so he felt at ease to explore the lower level.
This is his starting point, and this manor is his last and only foundation.
