Chapter 17: The Ancient Family (Part II)

Augustus followed the sound and looked at him, and a heroic young man with a contemptuous and indifferent look looked at him coldly, and his eyes were almost like seeing a dirt dog. The young man wore a red robe trimmed with gold trim, and the workmanship was exquisite and elegant, which set off the nobility and extraordinariness of the young man.

The boy was accompanied by three teenagers who were not ordinary civilians in their attire. Civilian? I am afraid that a person with this status is not as good as the eyes of the first heir of the Mark family, Eisen, who has a sunflower badge on his chest, Augustus sighed secretly, and it has been determined that the three teenagers who did not wear any of the family's iconic badges on their left chest are actually nobles.

Young Master Pompey from the Gnaeus family may have felt that the atmosphere was too solemn, so with a bright smile, he introduced the young nobleman whose words were even more cold and arrogant than the heir of the Flavi family, the first noble family in Truncus City, Pompey glanced at the handsome young nobleman with a smile, and chuckled: "This is Baron Eisen of the Mark family, Augustus, do you know what it means for us noble children to have a knighthood before the age of sixteen?" Either he has unparalleled talent or he has a prominent background. ”

At this moment, looking at the Eisen, who was indeed famous in the aristocratic circle of the city, he didn't even bother to think about the meaning of the two-sided nature of Pompey's words, with a smile that was even brighter than that of Pompey and Orit just now, he looked at the disdainful Baron Eisen in front of him, and said softly with an innocent and simple face: "I would rather believe that the Sir Eisen, who is as dazzling as the sun, belongs to the latter, because then I have the opportunity to disappoint the respected Lord of Urgart, but unfortunately, I know that Sir Eisen belongs to the former." , with an unrivaled talent for knighthood. At this, Augustus looked at the knight named Eisen with a look of helpless regret and shook his head.

Conceding defeat before the battle has even begun, this is really not the demeanor of a knight. A flash of disappointment flashed in the eyes of several aristocratic youths who had originally expected something interesting or even presumptuous from the guy who had been favored by the lord of Urgart, and then they were quickly replaced by arrogant looks. The arrogance on their faces was even stronger, and it seemed that because of Augustus's words of 'showing weakness', their identities had been raised to a higher level.

In addition to these few noble young people who were close to Augustus, there were also a large number of curious young people who stayed behind around the square, and when Augustus's words fell, the eyes of many commoners showed a very disdainful look, which seemed to say: "How can the wise and martial lord of Urgat appreciate such a pig!" ”

Augustus was never a man who liked to change himself in the eyes of others, unless things really came to a point where they could affect his vital interests. Augustus duly cooperated with the four aristocratic young men who were not kind to him and bowed their heads, looking humble and cowardly.

Eisen was a little disappointed, though his eyes did not show the same contempt as the other three companions. But there was a hint of contempt and coldness in his eyes. Originally, he said that provocative remark just to see how capable this civilian who was in the same line with him and was favored by General Ergarth? Now he didn't see the untouchable who was lucky enough to get the favor of General Ergarth, but the soft bones of this untouchable made him bored, if it wasn't the recruit conference today, this was not Styroland Square, he would have kicked the face of that despicable coward, he couldn't wait to smash the guy in front of him, "Damn it, it's just a smear on Lord Ergat!" ”

If Augustus heard the words of this noble young man who seemed to be staring at the title above the top, he would definitely laugh, and at the same time he would add: It turns out that he is an admirer of that guy again! But the current Augustus did not know that possibly. Even now, Augustus didn't even have a chance to speak, and the current initiative was not in the hands of these six noble boys who were born to block his path with great momentum, so that he could only look up?

The elegant Young Master Pompey seemed to have lost the acumen of a politician, did not feel the tension of the atmosphere, and smiled and prepared to introduce the other three young men who stood with Baron Eisen of the Mark family. One of the three aristocratic youths who had already known Pompey's behavior and habits stretched out his hand to stop Pompey, and said coldly: "Pompey, our surname and name are not qualified to be known by lowly pariahs. ”

The man said that, and the other two also showed disdainful smiles on their faces. Chiluoluo's remarks have expressed their point of view without any disguise, this guy is a mud worm lying on the ground, how can he know about the falcon in the sky?

Pompey shrugged helplessly at Augustus. Augustus did not hesitate to return a smile, indicating that he did not mind. There was indeed no expression of concern on his face, and there was even a hint of sarcasm on his face that only Orit and Pompey had seen in the group.

At this time, one of the young men with a very supple face but an indifferent expression gently patted Eisen, who was obviously the eldest of them, on the shoulder, and said, "We don't want to waste our precious time here by this guy, Eisen, let's go to Teklatan, I heard that there are many wild people from the Kumang Ancient Forest." Saying this, the young man licked his lips meaningfully.

The eyes of the other two young men beside him also flashed with a flash of heat. The savages of the Kumang Ancient Forest, that place is notoriously dangerous, and the people there are also notoriously cruel, it is said that it was there that the lord of Urgat was wounded! Isn't the conquest of the savages on Chuang avenge Lord Urgat? The two of them had bright smiles on their faces, and they fantasized in their hearts.

Eisen was about to nod his head, but he heard a familiar voice that disgusted him with indifference: "Eisen, Kepler, Roger, Ural, you better leave quickly, lest you stay here and be humiliated by this kid." "At this moment, the person who has the courage to say this without scruples is Orit, the heir of the Flavi family, the first nobleman of Alder City?

"Orit, what do you mean!" Eisen's face changed, and his eyes were as fierce as a falcon staring at this guy whose strength has always been on par with him, and the fame among the nobles is still on a par with him, if it weren't for the huge family behind this guy, Eisen would have asked the bounty hunters on the road to get rid of this eye-catching guy.

For Eisen, who has the status of a rare baron of the young nobles of Alder City, Orit didn't buy it at all, and sneered: "What do you mean? Dear Baron Eisen, I doubt that you have nothing but sand and a woman in your mind, and have you forgotten the compliment that the commoner had given you? Forgetful Baron Eisen. ”

Didn't wait for Eisen to answer. Pompey smiled and said: "I haven't forgotten, just now Augustus said: I would rather believe that this Sir Eisen of the Mark family belongs to the latter, because in this way I will have the opportunity not to disappoint the respected Lord of Urgart, but unfortunately, I know that Sir Eisen belongs to the former and has unparalleled knightly talent." Pompey blinked and deliberately asked, "Orit, this is indeed a compliment to Sir Eisen's unparalleled knightly talent, why do you say humiliation?" ”

Oritt didn't believe that Pompey, who was as proficient in wordplay, didn't know the meaning of this sentence, but he didn't argue with Pompey pointlessly. With a calm face, he looked at Eisen, who seemed to be thinking about the meaning of this sentence, and said, "This guy is laughing at our dear Sir Eisen, who does not have a strong family background but still sells ridiculous and funny strength. ”

What the?

Orit's words fell, and the four pairs of eyes aligned to Augustus, who seemed to have been out of the way, and for a while Augustus was the focus of attention.

From beginning to end, Augustus looked calm, neither humble nor arrogant, smiled sincerely at Baron Eisen's angry and puzzled gaze, shrugged his shoulders, and said with an innocent face: "Venerable Young Master Eisen, do you think that an ordinary civilian can have a shrewd and wise head like Young Master Auretto?" And is a commoner qualified to point fingers at the status of the nobles of the noble world who are high above? If you think so. Then Augustus accepted the praise of Master Eisen. After saying that, Augustus wiped the lines on his chest that had been torn by the branches, and shy to cover it up.

"What a cunning fellow."

Pompey, who had never underestimated Augustus, calmly listened to the words of Augustus defending himself and the smile that fell in the eyes of everyone, and sighed softly in his heart. Pompey barely had to look at the expressions of Eisen and the three aristocratic youths beside him to know that the four of them must have been staring at Orit with unkind eyes.

Is a commoner qualified to laugh at the noble status of the nobility? Can a civilian have the brain to dissect such flawless speech? Before meeting Augustus. Pompey also thought it was impossible. This group of nobles, who themselves are on the same page as this dazzling good friend beside them, will naturally conclude in this way.

They ignore a little man who single-handedly directs it all, a commoner who is insignificant in their eyes: Augustus!

"A commoner can easily play with a group of nobles, this is really a bold and terrifying fellow!" Pompey sighed softly, and could not help but recall a phrase that his father had always emphasized to himself: "Do not despise untouchables who are humbled by poverty." Because they struggle to survive a tenacious and cunning system of life; Don't despise the nobles who are honored by their family background, because the elders who bring them glory and money will teach him how to be a fool who hides a knife in his smile" Looking at the ordinary face with an innocent look on his face, Pompey thought to himself, Isn't this the best portrayal?

A commoner who has the audacity to play with the nobility needs to be handled with caution, no matter how stupid he is. There's no guarantee that this crazy civilian won't do anything crazy! Pompey, who had always remembered the family admonitions, had not forgotten that the third generation of the Eisen family had died tragically at the hands of a mad commoner, and then had his family history canceled for many years by the nobles of Alder City as a joke after dinner.

What's more, the Augustus in front of him who dared to joke about the nobles was not just a bold madman, but a commoner with outrageous reason, ambition, and wisdom, crazy enough to dare to step on anyone's corpse to ascend to a high position, and such a commoner even a slave was enough to make any nobleman pay attention.

Compared with Pompey's silent restraint, Orit's performance is much more direct. He slowly glanced at his gaze, his eyes as sharp as a sword, looked at Augustus, and said in a cold voice: "Civilian, are you provoking our relationship? ”

Augustus squinted his eyes slightly, and a smile of 'honesty, sincerity, and confusion' appeared on Augustus's face in an instant, whether it was Eisen, Ural, Roger, Kepler, Pompey or looking at Augustus Horit, they all had an illusion in an instant, this guy really didn't have that mind or that wisdom.

Eisen, Ural, Roger, and Kepler, the four people who had always been on the wrong path with Orit, instantly believed the meaning in Augustus's eyes, and Pompey and Orit looked at Augustus after a short period of confusion, and their eyes obviously showed suspicion.

It's just that Oritt is more cold and murderous, and Pompey is restrained and playful, hiding his emotions under that warm smile.

Augustus' gaze swept over the nobles who looked like they were watching from the wall, and then over the faces of a group of envious or sarcastic or sighing civilian recruits, and the smile on Augustus' face became more honest and unpretentious when he returned to Orit.

However, at this time, Pompey, who had been carefully observing Augustus, couldn't help but pull the beautiful black fox fur jacket draped on his body, and a bitter coldness that was difficult to describe in words surged into his heart in an instant.

What exactly does this Augustus want to do? In his heart, Pompey shouted hysterically. He really wanted to cut open Augustus's chest to see what was in his heart, what kind of thing supported him to provoke the first nobleman of Alder City, the heir of the Flavi family. (To be continued.) )
