Chapter 22: Master Augustus

In Polsan Manor, Augustus glanced at Sain, who was wearing shabby knight's armor, and directly kicked the defenseless Sain to the ground, and then rode on an ordinary horse beside him, shook his head helplessly at the fallen Sain, who was smiling, and said: "As a noble knight, even the knight's armor and sword are so tattered, how can he join the Knights of the Hundred Leaf Flower and compete for the few Iron Oak Medals on the battlefield?" Walk! Come with me to the bazaar and help you buy some equipment, so you don't lose face when you get back to Sak City!" ”

Sain smiled and nodded in response, mounted his horse, and the two left the Porshan Manor.

The knights, who had already adapted to the ferocity of being as fierce as a war tiger for a few days, behaved like an obedient cat in front of Master Augustus, were no longer surprised by this commonplace situation. Even many knights didn't raise their heads to look at the stunned scene in the eyes of outsiders just now, and they all trained honestly like Alista, who had returned from injury.

For the knights of the Order, Augustus was too far away from Sain to be able to catch up with them. The biggest enemy they face now is Alista, the one they have been loyal to by Young Master Augustus as the leader of their humble order, and this is the problem they are facing now.

Whether it's Noxus, which is based on the laws of nature, or the Demacian Empire, which claims to be made of justice, these countries follow an age-old rule: the law of the jungle! As long as the minotaur Arista is defeated, the position of the knight leader is not something that the alien race of Alysta can touch.

Nowadays, there are many knights who are hostile to the Minotaur Alista, but none of them dare to challenge the Minotaur Alista at will. Can a gladiator who can come back safely from the Colosseum be ordinary? It can be said that Augustus has fully foreshadowed Alista.

Punch after punch slammed into the tree that was about to be broken, and he didn't care about the group of subordinates who were about to move, Alista, and all he could think about was to increase his strength. "Worthy of the gold coins that Augustus paid!" Faith in Alista's heart.

The letter of appointment issued by the Noxus Administration Department personally ordered Sean to go to Sakgar City on the same day to return to the Knights of the Hundred Leaves and serve as the captain of the Knights! Casually stuffing the letter of appointment with the badge of the Ministry of Administration on fine paper into the worn armor that had been battered with vicissitudes, he followed Augustus to a Dolan Exchange.

Sein's face changed for a moment. Riding a horse, he ran a few steps quickly, was at the level of Augustus, glanced at the archway of the exchange, which specializes in trading weapons, armor and other equipment, and said: "Boss, every exchange is a vampire who likes to scatter gold coins!" We're smart people, we can't fall for them! ”

Augustus turned a deaf ear, ignoring the reason he had told Theon in the past. Staring at the line written on the archway in the lower left corner of the Dolan Exchange: As long as you have enough gold coins, I have enough goods!

Arrogant words, but not arrogant. As one of the top arms exchanges in St. Peter's City and even in the whole of Noxus, it does have the capital to say this.

Augustus looked at the handwriting and smiled slightly, then turned back and said calmly to Sein, "You can't even buy armor better than the worn-out 'Frost Sorrow' armor on your body in a regular weapon foundry!" The items on the exchange are more expensive, although they are more expensive. But the quality is not bad! With that, Augustus took the Iron Oak Medal and walked straight into the Dolan Exchange with the respectful eyes of the two guards.

Sein stood in front of the wooden archway of the Dolan Exchange, paused, and then slowly took out an Iron Oak Medal, which symbolized the highest glory of Noxus, from his pocket and walked into the Dolan Exchange, which was infested by nobles and wealthy people.

Although the soldier with the Iron Oak Medal is not equal to the nobility, it is a pass to many areas that only the aristocratic and wealthy can enter. Even in areas where many minor nobles could not pass, commoners with the Order of Iron Oak were allowed to pass. Burnham, who had been silent at the heart of Noxian power for nearly a decade, had spent three years in the Holy War raising the medal of Noxian glory to unprecedented heights. It can be seen from General Burnham's behavior that General Burnham is interested in promoting the status and power of the army in Noxus.

In the three years of the Holy War, the Noxian army has shown outrageous combat effectiveness in the face of Demacia, Acacia, Ionia, etc., which has made many nobles who believe in cultivating knights to protect their own power and discourse in Noxus, and their confidence has been shaken.

If there is such a behemoth as an army, the hundreds of three thousand knights in their hands are just a smug clown.

The nobles were well aware that the strength of the army was not much stronger than they had imagined. So in the course of jihad. Wise nobles led the Knights to join the army, and then thought of controlling the behemoth of the army. Commoners flocked to the army in search of merit, and nobles joined the army for various purposes, which indirectly strengthened the already large army. It has raised the army's influence on Noxus by more than one notch.

Many nobles who wanted to restore the good scenery of the old aristocratic era also woke up from the rise of the army, and although the old aristocratic era was beautiful, it was indeed gone.

Three years of jihad, although Burnham did not get a significant record. But from the perspective of the strategic victory, Augustus also had to admire this old scheming and wise pearl. The old man who wields Noxus' power.

General Burnham, who was originally the most influential speaker in Noxus, has been recognized by the army after three years of jihad, and his voice has grown to a terrible level. Now, whoever wants to overthrow Burnham's rule is afraid that millions of Noxian soldiers will be the first to stand up and not agree.

"It's hard to see the outcome of a political confrontation until the truth is revealed!" Augustus couldn't help but sigh, remembering the menacing expressions of many nobles who wanted to oust Burnham from power during the three-year holy war, and recalling the low-key silent and awe-inspiring appearance of those triumphant nobles in the past in front of Burnham today, Augustus could only sigh: Feng Shui takes turns.

Standing on this Dolan Exchange, which symbolized that only the upper realm could enter, Augustus sighed and muttered to himself, "Who can be as eternal as the sun hanging high in the sky?" Burnham can't, and I have a chance! ”

――――

As the raw material of St. Peter's City's largest weapon armor, the Dolan Exchange does have a capital that ordinary weapons shops and ordinary exchanges cannot reach. When you enter the gate of the Dolan Exchange, you will be greeted by many shops of different sizes divided by a thin wall.

Each shop is filled with weapons such as broadswords and knives, armor is neatly stacked in a prominent area of the store, and many raw materials are placed in an area that is not too large or too small.

Someone with a heart once counted that there were more than 200 stores of raw materials for equipment on this 300-meter-long road to the auction house of the Dolan Exchange. These shops had to pay a lot of gold coins to the Dolan Exchange every year, and they also had to pay a part of the taxes to the Noxian government, which were twice or even three times the tax expenditure of the average Noxian shop, but it did not make the shops on this street scarce, but many foreign shops wanted to flock here.

The aristocrats and rich people who come and go on this street every day have reached a terrible number of tens of thousands! In the past, Augustus did not believe that an exchange could support a long industrial chain, but after the Fain Slave Exchange, Augustus had to believe a little.

Looking at the comings and goings and the bustling crowd here, Augustus couldn't help but sigh, and said to Sein, who was lingering in the weapon shop beside him: "Behind every exchange there is a figure of one or several families, before I didn't understand why Borwright spent money like water but never cared, but now I understand that the speed of spending money is too slow and slow compared to the money they earn." ”

Sean smiled, looked at Augustus with a serious face, and said, "Young Master Augustus, when you take control of Ferreljord, you will be richer than them!" ”

Augustus glared at Sain, slapped Sain directly on Sain's sparse hair, and said helplessly: "Control Fereljord?" I just want to be content if I don't die! Touching his chin, Augustus fell into fantasy again, and Thein glanced over.

In Sain's words, the boss is the most at this time of year.

"I heard from General Du Kekao that the most powerful tribe in Ferreljord is the Ice Shooter Tribe, and the ruler of the Ice Shooter tribe is a woman named Queen Ash! Women conquer the world, and men conquer women, and they don't conquer the world equally! ”

At this moment, the sinister smile on Augustus's face, even Sain, a little brother who was very loyal to Augustus, couldn't help but have the desire to go up and punch him a few times. But at the same time, Sein couldn't help but wonder what Augustus was thinking of something fierce.

Awakening from deep thought, Augustus was in an unprecedentedly good mood as Sain had expected, and with a wave of his hand, he looked at the armor that Sain looked down on with his ordinary eyes, and listened carefully to the boss's troubles, and introduced the sharing of this ordinary armor.

Sain didn't want the boss to be hurt by the armor he bought that was not even as good as the frost grief on his shoulders and back, which was already a little tattered, so he hurriedly pulled a pair of Augustus who was about to buy this armor.

At this moment, a crisp and cold voice sounded: "Isn't this our Young Master Augustus?" ”

Sein was stunned for a moment, turned around, smiled, bowed his head respectfully, and said, "Miss Katarina!" ”
