Chapter 62: The Will of Demacia

Magic and swords form the basis of the Valoran continent.

The Laurent family has been famous for their profound swordsmanship for centuries, and is the famous swordsman of the Demacian Empire, a dueling family! Duels in Demacia are a very common and glorious thing, from the royal family of Demacia to the ordinary residents have great yearning and reverence for duels. The Laurent family has been a dueling master for centuries, and each member of the Laurent family is a master of swordsmanship, and generations of Laurent members have forged a myth of the Demacian Empire.

But there are times when the myth is shattered, and this myth is shattered and eventually bears the label of "the disgrace of the Demacian Empire".

The reason comes from the previous head of the Laurent family, Brand, a legendary figure of the Demacian Empire, a famous duelist, a mythical figure in the eyes of the soldiers and residents of Demacia, he has never been defeated in a duel career of nearly forty years, and his existence has added another layer of glittering glory to the glory of the Laurent family.

But on the eve of the legendary duelist and an opponent, Brand was caught red-handed when he threw chronic paralyzing poison into his opponent's drink, and the famous duelist threw poison on his opponent's hand? This incident immediately caused an uproar in the Demacian Empire.

The symbol of Demacia is composed mainly of an eagle overlooking all things, symbolizing the all-encompassing and just and strict state system; The sword and shield emblem under the wings of the eagle symbolizes the determination to defend Demacia and the moral code it believes in, and the overall emblem is mainly gold, representing Demacia's pursuit of glory, wealth and vitality. Demacia is also a representative name for justice.

Every resident of Demacia knew the significance of the Demacian seal, and the Demacian Empire, with its strict laws, immediately investigated the time of the Duel of the Laurent family under the orders of Gavin III.

Many firmly believe that the great duelist of the Laurent family, Brand, was wronged, but after several months of investigation. The answer was surprising.

Brand, the great duelist of the Demacian Empire of the Laurent family, turned out to win the duel more than once in an unfair and unjust way. Many opponents who had fought with Brand in the past have accused Brand of various crimes: poisoning weapons, bribery, blackmail, etc.

Eventually, the Laurent family's reputation plummeted, from the pride of the former Demacian Empire to the disgrace of the Demacian Empire today.

Regarding the glorious rise and fall of the famous family of the Demacian Empire, Fransde once explained to Augustus at a long time, and finally sighed softly: "Brand, the duelist, is one of the people I once admired the most. “

Augustus was silent about this.

Augustus did not suspect that the head of the Laurent family had been caught and poisoned in the hands of his rivals. But Augustus doubted the truth of the accusations made by the beating of the water dogs. Can a legendary duelist who has been rampant in the Demacian Empire for more than forty years become a legend simply by cheating? If yes, well, then Augustus thought that the so-called duel of the Demacian Empire was simply a joke.

Retracting his thoughts, Augustus calmly thought about it, and Lux, with an elegant aristocratic smile on her face, asked what Fiona, a core member of the Laurent family, was doing in the Noxian Empire?

"In the past ten years, the Laurent family has long left the imperial capital of the Demacia Empire, and rarely appears in the aristocratic society of the Demacian Empire, and even many members of the Laurent family have left the Laurent family because of Brand's affairs, but this Fiona is not, he is the only remaining core member of the Laurent family! And has been working hard to restore the glory of the Laurent family in the Demacian Empire! Lux tried to explain the ancient family of Laurent and some basic things about Fiona in simple words. Then he paused and spoke: "This Fiona, who has unwavering determination and strong terrifying strength, has decided to do something that many duelists want to do but dare not do, take off the head of a Noxian magnate!" ”

Augustus took a deep breath, this is really not a small matter! Remove the head of a Noxian magnate, and if the young lady in front of her is not lying, then whose head will Fiona of the Laurent family take off the head of the Noxian magnate?

Now the most famous of the Noxian magnates are Kiris, Svein, Mollockor Bacon, the patriarch of the Darkwell family, the patriarch of the Rotonchild family, and a few others, could it be that this bold assassin of the Demacian Empire is targeting them?

Augustus's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile. Whether it's Princess Kiris, who lives in St. Peter's Castle, or Svein, who is as powerful as the vast sea. They are also members of the famous five families of the Noxus Empire, and these people have terrifying power far beyond what he can imagine.

Run to warn this group of big nobles? I'm afraid that except for Her Royal Highness Princess Kiris, who has a slight personal relationship with him, everyone else will laugh at him, and they will secretly sarcasm that he is not capable of doing anything for the guy who has just won the title of nobility!

I was going to take some specific actions, but I was mindful of these circumstances. Augustus calmed his restless mood and sat quietly on the soft sofa of the Demacian embassy, which was furnished like a banquet.

Lux looked at Augustus with a smile, as if she had penetrated Augustus's thoughts, and continued to speak in Augustus' ear in a soft and sympathetic tone: "Mr. Augustus, do you think that this so-called Fiona, a member of the Laurent family, will definitely not be able to hurt the powerful people of the Noxian Empire, who are guarded by a horde of knights? If Mr. Augustus thinks so. Then I can only tell you that you are wrong! ”

Augustus was not angry, let alone excited, looked at Lux, said in a flat tone: "Oh, does Miss Luxe think that Fiona has a chance to assassinate the powerful people of our Noxian Empire?" Hehe, Miss Lux, I remember that none of you, Miss Wayne, the famous Night Hunter of Demacia, have successfully assassinated the powerful people of the Noxian Empire! ”

"Things are just as Master Augustus said, but Master Augustus, maybe I forgot to tell you that in the past, the Laurent family was able to transcend the Demacian Empire, not only because the Demacian Empire had an almost fanatical love for duels, but because the Laurent family has done many things for the Demacian Empire over the centuries, which make the Laurent family the most transcendent family in the Demacian Empire!"

Augustus's face changed a little, because by writing the "Biography of General Burnham", Augustus looked through a lot of historical records about the Demacian Empire, the Noxian Empire, the Ionian Empire, the Zaun Dynasty, and many other empires.

Many of these annals have been covered by history, and Augustus opened them up to him one by one when he was flipping through them. At the height of the Noxian Empire, some of the people who controlled the direction of the Noxian Empire died due to an accident, or died from working on the belly of a maid, or died of an illness, etc. And the empires of Demacia, the Zaun Dynasty, and Ionia have no shortage of such histories.

In the annals of the Demacian Empire, there is an account of Douglas Laurent, the third generation of the Laurent family.

Douglas Laurent, the head of the Laurent family, was a hero of the Demacian Empire who had accomplished many impossible missions for the Demacian Empire.

Douglas's biography, on the other hand, only records some of his dueling experiences, as for fighting for the Demacian Empire, the only time he participated in the Demacian army, he left because of something halfway through.

Augustus never simply thought that Douglas, the head of the Laurent family, was only to this extent, and if it was only like this, then Augustus did not think that this Douglas had a chance to receive the praise and praise of Emperor Gavin, let alone have such a transcendent position in the Demacian Empire.

In a boring situation, Augustus researched and found that there were seven powerful people in the Noxian Empire who were in the glory of Douglas's era and only died unexplained, and the Zuan Dynasty, which was an ally of the Noxian Empire at that time, and the powerful ministers who advocated invasion as a means to strengthen the empire also died strangely one after another.

Augustus felt a giant dark hand sweeping towards him?

Doesn't this have anything to do with the Laurent family?

Augustus didn't think so!

"Blood watering the flower of sin, glory can bear fruit!" Augustus has always believed that this is the essence of glory. It is conceivable that Douglas, the head of the Laurent family, secretly did not know how many things he did for Demacia to eradicate his opponents, and perhaps this matter was only known to the two old men who would sleep on the ground forever!

The calm lake of heart was directly struck by Lux's seemingly insignificant words. Augustus looked at the aristocratic face in front of him, and said, "Miss Lux, isn't it a pleasant thing for you to get rid of the leader of our Noxus Empire?" ”

Lux restrained the smile on his face, looked at Augustus, and said softly: "Young Master Augustus, you are wrong, Demacia needs not to get rid of Noxus, but to need a peaceful Valoran continent!" It is clear that Fiona is pushing the Demacian Empire in the opposite direction, which is unbearable for every resident of the Demacian Empire. ”

Augustus stared at Lux and said softly, "Miss Lux is really a good citizen of the Demacian Empire!" ”

Heartfelt praise or subtle irony??? (To be continued.) )
