Chapter 25, Twilight

General Darkwell Burnham, who had handed over almost all of Noxus to Kiris Stuart, Svein and others, spent his days lying on the chuang and studying books, sketching the two most important female faces in his memory on a skateboard in front of the castle.

Life can be regarded as laid-back.

Chillis Stuart, who already took control of some of the power in Noxus, did not immediately kill the Uncle Burnham who had raised her, after all, it was not easy to remove the crown and the head by heinous means, and there was no profit to be gained from it.

Every day, after a busy day, Kiris always spends an hour or two with this old man who has reached dusk! Burnham also did not discuss some political and military matters with Kiris, but chatted aimlessly about trivial matters, and was at ease.

On this day, sitting in the chair, Burnham gently patted Kiris on crutches on the shoulder, pointed to himself and whispered, "I already feel that my life is coming to an end, Kiris!" ”

Chillis didn't speak, but gently took Burnham's arm.

Burnham, who was very indifferent to death, smiled slightly, held the palm of Qilis, and said with a smile: "Actually, I should have gone to see them a long time ago, after all, I started to be in the political arena of the Noxian Empire when Demacia Gavin I, and Gavin II has ruled the Noxian Empire, and I have lived for more than a hundred years for nearly half a century, and the gods are not thin to me!" ”

The departure of this big man who only had one breath was enough to cause the upheaval of the Noxian Empire in the Valoran continent should have been a happy thing, but Kiris couldn't have any happy emotions. Perhaps following Burnham, Kiris has already looked at the image of his father when you died in St. Peter's Castle at a young age, and Nicocage the Great is in her mind, and there is only one General Burnham who is very respectful to him whenever and wherever he is.

"General Burnham, do you have any regrets?" Chillis Stuart asked, looking at Burnham.

In the eyes of the world, Burnham will always be powerful and powerful. Just like the god monarch rules the world, has this strong man ever had regrets? Chillis wanted to know, and Burnham answered his question very dryly: "Of course, I regret that I became enemies with a few old friends from my youth because of political disagreements, I regret that my adoptive father, Prince Nocopanser, only wants to see me once a year, I regret that I have not been able to protect my parents and my most beloved people, there are too many!" ”

This is the regret of this big man? Unexpectedly, but also unexpectedly, Kiris, sighed softly, no one knows how many days this big man has left, but definitely not long.

When leaving. Burnham asked, "Augustus, that little guy seems to have returned to Noxus at this juncture?" ”

Chillis nodded, "Yes." ”

Burnham then waved his hand and told Kiris to go down.

A man quietly sketched a portrait in front of the window where the sunlight shone in, and this time the portrait was not of the two women, but of an old man, an old man! The old man is unruly, fierce and powerful, and his back is like an abyssal sea, which is unpredictable.

Burnham stared at the portrait of the old man for a long, long time. With a soft sigh, he said, "My father, Prince Nokopanser, perhaps I should see you again!" ”

I silently added in my heart: "The last side!" ”

Burnham walked slowly out of St. Peter's Castle on crutches. The gaze gazes at the very conspicuous, but obscure, astrological tower built not far from St. Peter's Castle.

This fierce old man has a face that is not the usual arrogance but respectful and pious: Prince Nocoppenser, another miracle figure in the Noxian Empire.

——————

Because of the special care of Princess Kiris along the way, Augustus traveled quickly and safely. After crossing the three main cities, we arrived at the capital of Noxus, a strange city after a year's absence, St. Peter's City.

The Knights of the Warriors are very strange about the calm they have had since they met Warwick. Augustus smiled and explained, "No nobleman is a fool, unless someone who is really willing to be the enemy of Her Royal Highness Princess Kiris will do something crazy!" And I, an ordinary soldier of the Noxian Empire, is far from necessary for the nobles to be exterminated at all costs, is it? ”

If a person does not see his strengths, he has no future, and if he does not see his weaknesses, he will go to hell without warning. Augustus was very lucky and intelligent, and he was very aware of his strengths and weaknesses.

"I thought you'd come to me a few days later, maybe just send someone to send your body back here to see me one last time!" Facing General Burnham, who was feared by everyone in the Noxian Empire, the old man in a black robe, who was very rude, with his back to General Burnham and was fiddling with the dominoes, said coldly.

At this moment, the old man was engrossed in fiddling with the minoes that had occupied most of the space in this astrological building. These minoes are built into a variety of shapes, independent of each other and mutually reinforcing.

Few people know or perhaps forget that the Prince of Nokpanser, who was arrogant in the Noxian Empire half a century ago, was a magician with amazing skills, and his magician level has reached a level unimaginable to ordinary people, and even Burnham, who was closest to the reclusive Prince Nokpanser, did not know what kind of profound magic the adopted father was.

However, from the square circles of various shapes built by nearly 100,000 fast minoones in front of him, it can be seen that Prince Nocopenser does not say how skilled he is in magic, but this patience is enough for him to be comparable to the magicians of the Holy Dome.

Magic is a complex and mysterious term in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of magicians, it is a complex and simple equation, just like mathematicians study mathematics. It's just that the magician doesn't study mathematics, but uses pieces of minoes to build magic arrays, and then seeks the true meaning of magic!

From the simplest cutting of the Sun Cross to the Thirteen-Winged Fallen Angel Magic Circle that even the Holy Dome mages have a headache for! These magic arrays require magicians to spend time and life to build and explore, and when building and exploring these magic arrays, they may accidentally walk into the attempt, such as becoming a notorious black magician, or falling into the magic maze first, and it is impossible to get out of it for a lifetime.

Looking at his father, who had been fiddling with these things since the age of thirty, Burnham sighed softly, if it weren't for his father, who had always been interested in studying immortality, perhaps he would have ended his brilliant political life decades ago.

Eternal youth? If it weren't for the magician father in front of him, how could he be alive and at the age of fifty?

What age is Noko Panser? Burnham doesn't know either!

Taking a deep breath, Burnham smiled, "Father, I've been studying the mysteries of eternal life all my life, but what is the answer!" ”

Prince Nokopanse picked up a piece of minoes and stared at the vast magic array built with hundreds of thousands of minoes, and did not put it down. Hearing the inquiry of his only relative, Prince Nocopanser's hand trembled, and then threw the minome into the magic array, and suddenly the Prince Nokopanser's painstaking efforts that had cost him nearly four months collapsed and were completely wiped out.

Burnham was also taken aback by the scene, and looked at his adoptive father apologetically and respectfully.

Nokopanser turned, revealing the deep look of Burnham's face that he hadn't seen in a long time. In the eyes of others, he Burnham will always be high, but in his own eyes, he may never have stepped out of the back of the not majestic but deep starry sky in his life.

"There are countless races in Valoran Continent other than humans, and among these races, only the filthy and strange vampire has obtained the mystery of immortality, I have solved hundreds of viscounts, five dukes, and one prince-level vampire, but I have not been able to explore any answers. Perhaps, as the hateful vampires say, this is a forbidden area that even the gods can't explore! ”

Burnham smiled confidently: "Maybe this is the forbidden area of the gods, but it is definitely not the forbidden area of Prince Nokopanser, at least father, you have been trying to break through this forbidden area, have you?" ”

Burnham glanced at the large number of minoes containing a large number of specimens of various creatures and the stacks of thick stacks of notes, all of which proved that the Prince of Nocopanser, who had been known for his stubbornness and bigotry, had never given up on the mystery of seeking eternal life.

For the respect of the adopted son, Nokopanser didn't even show a smile, stared coldly at the adopted son, who was already declining, and said: "With your current condition, you only have a month to live at most, and you should do what you should do instead of wasting your time on me, a useless magician!" ”

"Father, I never thought of seeking the mystery of eternal life from you, in fact I think I have lived long enough to seek out my mother, Helen Burnham, and my lover, Irette Lancaster! I'm so sorry I can't remember what they looked like! ”

Burnham was not at all as majestic as when facing the nobles, with a touch of bitterness on his face, but he looked at Prince Nocopanser, the adoptive father who gave him a chance to ascend to the sky, with a sincere face, and said softly: "Father, the purpose of my visit is just to see you, there are many things in the Noxian Empire that I can't let go, but those things don't matter, only you are the only thing I care about!" ”

Immediately, the old man, who controlled half of the world of Noxus, put down his crutches and knelt on the ground, and said softly: "I'm gone, father!" ”

Looking at Burnham's departing back, Prince Nokopanser was silent for a long time.

Then he returned to the astrology building to rebuild the magic array, but the speed was obviously much, much slower than usual. (To be continued.) )
