Chapter 56: Hello, Miss Katarina!
"Master Augustus, allow me to take the liberty of asking, you don't seem to have an orthodox magician by your side, why did you buy a magic wand that only magicians need?"
"Aristotle, you are wrong! I need two magic wands, one for my maid Cana, who I don't know if she has a future, and one that I will take to the distant land of Ferreljord, which will bring real meaning. Aristotle looked at Augustus, who had a rare bright and pure smile on his face, and said in a very gentle tone.
"It's unbelievable that Young Master Augustus, who is treacherous, cunning, and knows how to advance and retreat gracefully and freely, has such a soft side in his heart!" Aristotle held a dominary bone in his hand and muttered to himself in his heart.
A person who lives in lies and intrigues always yearns for a simple and ordinary life! Some people will be tired of the world of lies and conspiracy, and they will pursue it together, while some people are very rational and understand a truth: the law of the jungle is the strong, and the strong control everything.
Augustus is the latter, just as Augustus said when he spoke to Fransted: "Uncle, I do not deny that I will be confused, fearful, and sad on this road of power full of thorns, twists and turns, and even impossible to see the road ahead, but I will not stop, because this is Noxus, a place where only by controlling power can we control our destiny!" ”
Fransted looked at Augustus, who was pessimistic in his words, with some pity, and said softly: "When you get power, you will also lose the simple, ordinary, easy life of the past. Is this deal with rights worth it, Augustus. Only wait for yourself to measure! ”
Franste suddenly saw an unprecedented light of perseverance in Augustus' eyes: "Maybe I will miss the simple and ordinary life of the past, but I will not stop, and I will not be stupid to pursue it!" In Noxus, only by holding the power can we hold the throat of fate. Maybe when I'm really in control of my fate, I don't mind protecting a few people who have been yearning for a simple and peaceful life with the power in my hands, uncle, is this an alternative way to fulfill my dream?? ”
Jana on one side glanced at it. Augustus, who had a rare sunny smile in his eyes and no impurities, had a damn urge to shed tears at this moment, this was just Augustan aristocratic rhetoric, Cana, don't believe him! I was reminded of this in my heart, but my mood couldn't help but start to get excited, and a pair of eyes that were originally looking at Augustus coldly softened at this moment.
For a destitute mage, the wand is one of the most important items.
Dolan Exchange. Augustus did not disappoint Jana. Under the guidance of the great magician Aristotle, Augustus spent 3,000 Caesar gold coins to buy two magic wands, and the silver-white magic wand in Cana's hand with white crystals was worth 1,000 Caesar gold coins.
Buying items for a maid with a thousand Caesars in gold? Augustus was the most extravagant slave owner! There was also a snow-white wand that was no different from the one held in Cana's hand, which was carefully wrapped by Augustus.
The aristocratic world is now busy and chaotic because of the power struggle, except for a few nobles who are far away from the political whirlpool and are still in the mood to participate in the auctions of the Dolan Exchange, the gladiatorial arena of the Fynn Slave Exchange and other aristocratic activities, most of the nobles have been honestly swept into the political whirlpool.
"Whether a nobleman's life is busy or not represents the distance of the center of power in a nobleman!" This is a phrase that Augustus often mentioned. A nobleman who spends his days traveling back and forth between the slave exchange and the exchange of weapons and goods is definitely not a very valuable nobleman.
Augustus, who had a very deep understanding of the aristocratic world, would not be like the commoners who saw the nobles as if they were God. I hope that I can use my relationship with the nobles to break into the door of the heavily guarded aristocratic world.
In Augustus' words, this is simply a ridiculous thing.
The grade of the items in this auction has obviously dropped by more than a notch, and according to Augustus's eyes, almost all of the famous families in this auction have disappeared from the auction, which makes Augustus sigh: General Burnham influenced the world of high nobility during his lifetime. The same is true after death.
There is no so-called power and class suppression, which may be an important reason why Augustus was able to successfully buy these two magic wands at a very low price! The archmage Aristotle told Augustus that in normal times, the two wands would require at least five thousand Caesar gold.
Augustus chuckled softly at this, saying that his luck was not ordinarily good.
The street of Churchill of San Goulo was the most concentrated street of the aristocracy, and it was the place where the great nobles lived. For example, the Bacon family, the Du Kekao family, and Svein, the most influential strategist in the Noxian Empire in the last ten years, except for General Burnham, lived on this street.
The streets are very quiet, except for the nobles who come and go every day to attend various banquets or political meetings, only a few ambitious commoners look up at the street, their eyes full of longing and ambition, hoping to break into the heavily guarded aristocratic world.
The Dolan Exchange occupies a very good site, right on the border of St. Guro's Churchill Street and Prometheus Street. The former St. Gouro Churchill Street was the main gathering place of the Noxian aristocracy, while the latter Prometheus Street was the residence of some bankers, the wealthy and some relatively poor politicians.
The transaction was completed smoothly, and just as Augustus, Aristotle, and Jana left the Dolan Exchange, they unexpectedly met an old friend.
Augustus looked at the old friend and was stunned.
Aristotle, who was on one side, glanced at Augustus' old friend, and then looked at Augustus, Aristotle, a withdrawn magician who had always shown an old-fashioned face, had a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, and then pulled Cana, who looked a little sluggish, to walk quickly and leave.
Augustus came to his senses, and the two incompetent men had left. Augustus had a faint smile on his face.
Looking at the old friend in front of him, who had started an unspeakably tragic battle for the first time, Augustus couldn't help but show a faint smile on his face, and after brewing for a while, he said, "Alone? After saying this, Augustus wanted to slap himself in the mouth, it was really an awkward accompaniment.
"Cassiopeia has gone to see the Demacian envoy out of St. Peter's Castle, Master Augustus, do you think anyone else in the Noxian Empire would want to go with me?" The voice was calm and cold, with a hint of mockery that Augustus counted as innate.
Augustus, who has never been an orthodox knight, let alone an orthodox nobleman, has many problems, likes to flirt with rich daughters, nobles and celebrities outside of war, and General Burnham was even furious because of Augustus's romantic deeds, how can such a knight be regarded as a heroic example of the Noxian Empire? If it weren't for Augustus proving himself in front of General Burnham with the Order of Iron Oak again and again, otherwise Augustus' appearance in the Cathedral of Eugustín in St. Peter's City would have been a luxury!
In the Cathedral of Eugustin, Augustus relayed a sentence through Seon that has been circulated in the aristocratic world to this day: "It is the basic of being an excellent man to have a taste and comfort in the battlefield where cannonballs are flying, and the key to being an excellent man is whether he can wander on the side of a woman who makes the world look up to him, and finally conquer them one by one with a fierce posture, when you conquer one." Goddess' when you become a good male, when you conquer a group of goddesses, congratulations, you have evolved from good to great! ”
This famous saying, full of Augustan style, has been circulated in the aristocratic world, and even many lazy gentlemen treat Augustus's words as the Bible.
In a sense, Augustus was not a knight in the traditional sense, but all knights observed the virtues of humility, honesty, mercy, valor, justice, sacrifice, glory, and spirit, all of which Augustus thought he might have glory, and the others had nothing to do with him.
Augustus has always aimed to conquer the goddess, and Fransted once commented that the purpose of Augustus's hard training was simple and straightforward: to conquer a great woman!
Perhaps because of the oppressive life he had lived in Fereljord for nearly a year and then returned to St. Peter's Castle to live a depressing life, Augustus forgot for a short time the rhetoric that a man should have.
But fortunately, it is impossible for men to drown their instincts.
After those clumsy words, Augustus returned to his original appearance when he broke into the Cathedral of Egustín in high spirits, with a smile on his face that would make anyone feel very bright and sunny, bent slightly, made a gentlemanly appearance, and said softly: "Hello, Miss Caterina, may I allow me to temporarily serve as your servant while your knight is away?"
