House of Elders?

Hearing these three words, Lu Xiujin immediately jumped up from the bed.Of course, he still remembered that when he first met Arnold, he showed a strong dislike for this place, as well as what Auston said at that time, all of which left a deep impression on him.

Like a little follower, he followed Augustine step by step.He followed Augustine and Arnold into the reception room, and saw a few old people sitting upright with serious faces, felt their sharp knife-like gazes, and felt hairy all over their bodies.

so similar.

Although we didn't spend much time together, Lu Xiujin immediately remembered the person Augustine asked him to follow and monitor.He shrank his shoulders and turned to look at Augustine next to him. Sure enough, Augustine, who was still smiling, turned cold when he saw them.

Lu Xiujin sighed softly, leaned closer to Augustine, and carefully held Augustine's hand, seeing that he didn't respond, he even squeezed it boldly.It wasn't until Augustine looked in his direction helplessly that Lu Xiujin smiled and blinked at him.

Until Augustine sat down on the sofa and turned his gaze back to the person from the elders' house again, Lu Xiujin did not let go of his hand.While pinching Augustine's hand, he couldn't help thinking about it: I don't know what it feels like to pinch Augustine's hand?

Augustine who was standing next to him naturally didn't know what the man who was holding his hand was obscenely obsessed with. He had already regained his composure, and he was able to behave politely when facing the visitors from the Elder's House.A polite smirk hung on his face, his eyes swept around the two people who came, and then he asked lightly, "Is there something wrong?"

Seeing Oston speak, the gray-haired man sitting opposite said with a smile: "That's right, Your Excellency." He paused, and the other person sitting next to him immediately said: "Because this year Too many various things have happened, and the magic power stored in the royal room is not enough, so His Majesty sent us two here, and I hope that Your Excellency can come back to the palace with us today to replenish the magic power stored in the royal family."

Magic power storage... what is this?

Lu Xiujin was still puzzled, when he heard Augustine reply without thinking: "No." He frowned, and looked at the two people with unhappy expressions.After he finished speaking, he even stood up directly, and continued condescendingly: "Insufficient magic power storage, that's your business, what has it to do with me?"

……

this.Lu Xiujin stared dumbfounded at Augustine's impromptu performance. Seeing that he was about to leave, he quickly followed behind.He looked over to Arnold, and saw that Arnold looked indifferent, as if he was not surprised by Auston's reaction, but the two people sitting opposite hurriedly stood up, and smiled at Auston: "Your Excellency, you clearly know that you are the leader in replenishing the royal family's magic power reserves. If you don't go, we..." He rubbed his hands, "It will be very difficult for us."

"What does it have to do with me?" Augustine sneered, still in the same tone. "I still have something to do here, please go back."

After speaking, just as he was about to turn around and leave, the man with the gray hair grabbed his sleeve.Augustine turned around and looked at them with displeasure on his face, and saw the man heaving a long sigh and pretending to say: "I know you don't want to waste your energy..." He said hypocritically: "However, if the royal family reserves If your magic power is insufficient, then the protection of Kyoto will be reduced..."

He gave him a meaningful look, and continued: "Without the protection of the imperial family for the capital, those young girls who are wandering outside and cannot return home." He specially emphasized the pronunciation of the last two words: "I don't know what will happen to them." what."

This is a naked|naked|naked threat.Augustine frowned, and was about to say something, but Arnold, who had been silent just now, pulled his sleeves, he followed Arnold to the side, and heard Arnold say: "They know about Ophelia's disappearance. "

Hearing this, Augustine nodded.Although he was reluctant, he still comforted Arnold: "Don't worry, I will follow them..."

Before he finished speaking, Arnold interrupted Augustine directly.He shook his head, looked at him seriously and said, "That's not what I mean," he sighed slightly, but without much hesitation, he said the next words directly: "I mean, Os Don, you can't go."

He said: "How can the royal family's magic power reserve be insufficient? It is still at this time, either rape or robbery." He looked straight into Auston's eyes, saw his astonished expression, smiled slightly, and said: " In order to save Ophelia, of course I will do everything I can, but not including you." He looked at Auston firmly: "No matter what, I can't risk your safety to get Ophelia's information."

Even though he knew it wasn't aimed at him, Arnold's words obviously made Augustine feel a lot more comfortable.He also put a little smile on his face, and said: "Even if you say that, I still have to go with them." He shrugged: "I can't let the tens of millions of people in Kyoto do it for me, for us. Will you pay for your guess?"

Arnold was silent.He stared at Augustine for a while, then whispered: "Well, I never understand what you are thinking." He pursed his lips, and said again: "Since you have made your own decision , then I won’t say more. But,” he looked at Augustine with a serious expression: “be careful in everything, Auston. If there is anything wrong, you will let your fox come out to me immediately, understand?”

In the end, Augustine, who controlled Auston's body, returned to the palace with the people from the Presbyterian Court.Before leaving, in order to ensure safety, Augustine discussed with Lu Xiujin and made a decision: Let Lu Xiujin stay with Arnold and keep an eye on Arnold's movements and Ophelia's news, while Augustine followed the people from the Presbyterian Court to the palace to complete the Auston's work.

"Do you think... these people are reliable?"

Lu Xiujin followed Augustine out of Arnold's mansion, and whispered to Augustine beside him.Knowing that Augustine couldn't answer his doubts, Lu Xiujin didn't even pause, and immediately continued: "I think what Arnold said is quite right." He puffed up the left side of his face, thought and thought, and finally said helplessly: " Well, even if we all think they have bad intentions, it’s useless. You can’t drag ordinary people into the water.”

Following Augustine to the street, Lu Xiujin was still worried.He squeezed Augustine's hand firmly, and told him: "You must be careful, and don't let others find out that you are not Auston. I will return to the space in a while and let Qiqi lock your position."

He took out something from his arms, stuffed it in Augustine's coat pocket, and then said: "You can take this too, if there are any special circumstances, for example, you are found to be not Auston himself, or you I'm being attacked," he said nervously: "Just call me this, I'll definitely be there as soon as possible!"

Perhaps it was Lu Xiujin's highly nervous appearance that entertained Augustine. He smiled, endured and endured, but still couldn't hold back, he squeezed Lu Xiujin's hand back, and said in a low voice, "Okay, I will."

Hearing the voice from behind, one of the people from the elders' house turned his head and asked in doubt, "What's wrong? Your Excellency the Prince."

"It's nothing." Augustine's face softened a lot. He even smiled at the man, and said, "Let's go."

Arnold's mansion is not very far from the palace, even if he walks, it only takes about ten minutes.Following behind the people in the elders' house, Augustine finally walked into the palace after passing numerous tests.Before he could say anything, he was led into a room by the white-haired man.

"Please wait here for a while, Your Excellency," he said with a smile, "Let's go get ready first, and call you when we're ready."

After all, Augustine was left without a choice at all.Full of doubts, Augustine sat down on the big bed in the middle of the room for no more than two seconds, then stood up as if remembering something, walked quickly to the door, and tried to open the heavy door.

However, the door seemed to be locked from the outside. No matter how hard Augustine tried, it had no effect. Even calling out the summoned beast to attack the door was futile.

Augustine's expression changed.He knew immediately: he was imprisoned.
