Chapter 282

But Augustus's reaction made Phyllis even more confused.

His body was like being struck by lightning, frozen in place, motionless, with an indescribable shock on his face.

This was the only time in more than 20 years that Phyllis made a sound like a normal human being, except for screaming, and the only time she spoke to him. Although there were only a few short and difficult words, it made Augustus feel unprecedented ecstasy.

This... does this mean that Phyllis's condition has really begun to improve?

During this long time, Augustus felt for the first time that he saw hope and the future.

The long-term suffering, torture and persistence finally paid off at this time.

The happiness brought by this moment made Augustus unable to hold on any longer. His lips trembled, and he let the turbid tears on his face roll down to his lips, salty.

Then, he couldn't hold it back any longer.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

"Ahhhhh..."

Men, they can cry too!

He howled like a madman, and cried like a child, with some laughter in between.

The face that everyone respected in the imperial city was now covered with tears and snot, a mess.

He wanted to rush over and hug Phyllis, telling her how hard he had waited for this moment, but he was worried that he would scare Phyllis.

He could only clench his fists and pound the ground.

Augustus's reaction startled Phyllis. There was some confusion in her pupils, and her little hands curled up. She was a little hesitant and a little scared, but she still stretched out her fingers and stroked Augustus's yellow hair. Gently, she was still mumbling in a low voice:

"Good boy, good boy..."

She vaguely remembered that this man had comforted her like this before, and maybe it would be very useful.

Augustus didn't know how long he had been crying. He finally stopped when his voice was hoarse. Looking at Phyllis in front of him, his eyes were filled with joy, relief, and fear... fear that all this was fake.

He sat on the ground without any Pope's manners, leaning against the wall, gasping for breath.

At this moment, he didn't care about elegance or dignity. Augustus sniffed his nose hard, snot bubbles came out, and his face was still trembling.

"Phyllis, do you still remember me, I..."

Phyllis just tilted her head and pointed a white finger at the tip of Augustus' nose: "You..."

Augustus felt a little disappointed.

It seems that Phyllis can only say a few words now, and her memory has not been restored.

No, no, no...

Augustus shook his head hard.

Can't be so greedy, the road must be taken step by step.

Although it took too long to take this step, it was not easy for Phyllis to recover as she did now, and she could not ask for more.

Augustus firmly believed that as long as he continued, Phyllis would be able to fully recover one day.

But... he might not see that day.

He lowered his head and looked at his increasingly old and wrinkled skin. A trace of sadness appeared on Augustus' face. For revenge, in order to have more powerful power and more resources to treat Phyllis, Augustus almost frantically squeezed his potential and improved his strength.

And the sequelae brought by this method are also very serious.

After breaking through to level 80, the life span of humans will increase significantly.

After breaking through level 90, the life span will increase again.

But... his life span will not be much longer than that of ordinary people, and it may even be less.

By the time Phyllis fully recovers, maybe he will be dead, right?

He is not a brilliant person, at least compared to Phyllis.

Augustus put away the sadness in his heart and suddenly said to Phyllis: "Phyllis, do you want to go out?"

"Go out?" Phyllis tilted her head, she was a little confused about this word.

In her limited IQ and consciousness, this small room is everything, she doesn't understand what going out means.

Augustus nodded: "Yes, go out."

"There is the sun and the moon outside, it is very big outside, there are many, many people..." Augustus explained with his fingers.

However, Phyllis obviously has no interest in these, and even a little fear.

Gradually, her mood began to fluctuate, and she seemed irritable.

Her fingers grabbed her long hair hard, and the breathing in her nose became more and more rapid.

Then, Phyllis stopped eating the food on the ground, stood up silently and stood against the wall, as if waiting for Augustus to lock her up again.

Augustus knew that it would not take a few minutes for Phyllis to return to the appearance of a beast.

Her calmness could not be maintained for too long. Although she had experienced it many times, every time it was so uncomfortable.

Augustus took a deep breath, locked Phyllis again, and closed the door.

Not long after, waves of hoarse howling began to appear behind him.

Listening to the sound coming from behind, Augustus clenched his fingers tightly. Phyllis recovered a little bit, which was a good thing.

However, the hatred in Augustus' heart did not weaken at all, and even became stronger.

If it weren't for those damn guys, Phyllis wouldn't have to endure such pain.

Augustus left the Holy See, and his body whistled towards the distance. Outside the imperial city, there was a long-abandoned manor, which was Augustus's laboratory.

In the laboratory, a large number of experimental subjects were imprisoned, including monsters, beasts, and even humans... Although these people were robbers captured from nearby, there were even some half-human, half-monster, and half-human, half-beast beings, which were the products of Augustus's forced fusion through the long-lost ancient magic.

For revenge, Augustus could do anything.

Countless strange howls filled with pain and distortion mixed together, making the whole manor filled with a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.

A bloody and rotten smell floated in the air.

Although Augustus often cleaned it, it seemed to be of little use.

In the dark laboratory, Augustus picked up a glass bottle, which contained dark red liquid and some strange sponge-like filaments.

That was... the mucus collected from the wreckage, the ground, and the ashes after Karsus was killed. Augustus could feel the strange power contained in these mucus.

After many experiments and studies, Augustus cultivated scarlet thread-like objects from these mucus.

These filaments allow Augustus to completely control the life attached to the filaments... Unfortunately, the process seems too painful. No matter whether it is a monster, a beast, or a human, no one can stand it so far.

These strange filaments can even make the long-dead life stand up again like the magic of the dead... Maybe because of death, the ability to bear is a little stronger.

The strangest thing is that even if it has become a corpse, these filaments can still keep it from evolving and becoming stronger.

If he can get the body of the hero, he is confident that he can transform the body of the hero into a fighting machine that is completely controlled by himself.

Of course, Augustus wants more than that. Although the strength of the hero is still good now, it is far from the level that Augustus desires.

So Augustus needs to prepare something else... blood collected from a certain terrifying existence.

The blood contains enough energy to drive people crazy.

He has used other experimental subjects for experiments many times. Even after many transformations and strengthening, the bodies that are harder than steel cannot withstand the energy contained in them and will collapse in a few seconds.

Only the brave...

As long as he can get the body of the brave, Augustus firmly believes that he can squeeze out all the potential of the brave, let the body of the brave reach the strongest state in a short time, and he will definitely be able to create a perfect and powerful combat weapon.

The energy contained in one drop of blood is not enough, then ten drops, one hundred drops, one thousand drops... Augustus believes that one day, this combat weapon will have the power to destroy all those weird existences.

At that time, it will be the time for him to take revenge completely!

Augustus' body trembled slightly, as if he thought of a certain picture.

After a period of imagination, Augustus picked up another bottle, which contained a light red liquid with a little weird green.

Want to kill the hero... He needs to increase his stakes to ensure his victory.

Without any hesitation, he swallowed the liquid in the bottle.

In less than three seconds, Augustus' body tensed up instantly.

Countless dense and strange red and green marks began to spread on Augustus' body. His eyes were wide open, and there were waves of beast-like low roars in his throat.

...

The next day!

Early morning.

Qin Chu stretched and got up from the bed.

Looking at Athena who was still sleeping soundly next to him, Qin Chu was also a little confused. Last night, he was guiding Athena to learn the two magics of the god of plague and doom recorded on the stone tablet. As a result, how did she learn this?

He didn't learn foreign languages.

Athena was very tired from studying, and even Qin Chu didn't wake him up when he got up.

After getting dressed and going downstairs, he saw Angelica preparing breakfast.

"Angie, good morning." Qin Chu waved to Angelica.

Angelica's face immediately showed a gentle smile, and she glanced at her master unhappily: "It's past eleven o'clock, it's still early, I don't know whether this is breakfast or lunch."

When it's just Qin Chu and Angelica, Angelica will speak more boldly, but as long as there are people...especially outsiders, Angelica will definitely give Qin Chu, the master, enough respect.

"Where are the others?" Qin Chu asked casually.

"Miss Antasia and Miss Violet went to the training ground to practice magic. They have already eaten. Little Karin is also secretly learning there..."

"Miss Ekaterina and Miss Sylph haven't come back yet."

"Norma took Heloise and Ieta and made an appointment with Miss Natia to go shopping together..." Angelica answered quickly.

Girls, shopping, normal, normal!

Although it may cost a lot of money, with the rich woman Natia, it's not a big problem.

Looking at the master who was washing, Angelica hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Qin Chu about the strange situation she encountered last night.

"Master, there is something I want to tell you. Last night I seemed to see..."

Chapter 337 Obstruction from fate (2)

However, before Angelica finished her words, she heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from the door, followed by a figure in a hurry.

It was Princess Carol

Seeing Carol's pale face and anxious eyes, Angelica knew that something very important must have happened.

This made Angelica feel helpless. She always felt that every time she wanted to explain things to Qin Chu, she would always encounter inexplicable interference.

Is it a coincidence?

"Angie? What's the matter?" Qin Chu asked.

Compared to the princess who broke into the palace, Qin Chu still paid more attention to the well-behaved little maid beside him.

Angelica smiled softly: "It's not an important matter. Let's talk about it later. Her Royal Highness's visit must be very important. It's better for the master to solve the problem here first."

As for her own affairs, she will deal with them slowly in the future.

Angelica was not in a hurry. Moreover, although she was a little suspicious of those strange feelings, she did not detect any malicious intent, so it should not be a big deal.

At this time, Carol had also noticed Qin Chu and Angelica. His eyes, which were originally full of panic, suddenly lit up. He walked over quickly, grabbed Qin Chu's hand and walked out.

"Hey, wait, wait, wait, Your Highness Carol, what are you doing?" Carol's actions scared Qin Chu, although he had long known that this princess had a carefree personality.

But, men and women should not be close to each other.

If you are seen like this by outsiders, it will damage our reputation and make others think that I, Qin Chu, am the kind of man who casually hooks up with girls.

Carol seemed to feel that his actions were a bit rash. Although he was very anxious, he was facing a brave man after all, so he still had to be polite.

Carol took a deep breath and let go of Qin Chu's wrist. He took a step back and pinched the hem of his skirt with his fingers and bowed: "Your Excellency, the Brave Man, my father invites you."
