Chapter XXVI

Walking into St. Peter's City of the Noxian Empire with two hundred warrior knights, naturally many people threw strange eyes at Augustus, Augustus didn't care, and even had a little joy in his heart.

In fact, it was not all smooth sailing to enter St. Peter's City, if it weren't for the fact that Kiris, a person with a lot of prestige in the Noxian Empire's ruling class, sent someone to greet the guards guarding the city gate in advance and Augustus's well-known special status, it would never have been possible to enter St. Peter's City at this time with the knights of the Knights of Two Hundred Warriors.

Alista, who had always been wooden, suddenly became flexible with a pair of bright but dull eyes, and he looked at Augustus several times and stopped talking. It was not difficult for Augustus to guess about Alista's thoughts, and with a wave of his hand, he said to Alista: "Let's go, she should still be waiting for you in the place you agreed!" ”

Alysta glanced at Augustus with a grateful look in his eyes, said thank you, Young Master Augustus, and then left on his horse.

Huo Nan, who rarely saw Alysta so active, showed a puzzled look, and Augustus didn't bother to explain, so he said simply: Noxus, a country that Alysta hates, the person he cares about the most is not me, Master Augustus, but a person!

"Woman!" Huo Nan added in understanding.

Augustus did not answer, in Augustus's eyes, words were sufficient, more would seem to have no connotation, and less would seem too withdrawn. Whether it is more or less, it does not conform to the aristocratic demeanor taught by Fransted.

Perhaps in many places, a nobleman is measured by the title, territory, and money of the nobleman, but in St. Peter, the imperial capital of Noxus, it is essential to measure whether a nobleman is in the same class In addition to the so-called noble titles, territories, money, and power, personal cultivation is also essential.

Fransted once said to Augustus what Augustus still follows: "The aristocracy is divided into three classes: upper, middle and lower, and there are too many elaborate among them!" The nobles in St. Peter's can sometimes tell whether they are nobles or ordinary residents from their tones, which is indeed a very difficult thing for us who want to actively climb the threshold of nobility, but difficulty does not mean that there is no hope, at least there are some things we can do now before we can really be accepted by their group of nobles. For example, in terms of speech tone and habits, he is infinitely close to this group of nobles! ”

"Son, I teach you not only how to become a nobleman, but also how to become a qualified politician!"

"Only by getting infinitely close can you enter the world of the nobility, maybe sooner or later you will be driven out of the world of the nobility because your foundation is not strong enough, but at least you can do a lot of things during this period of time, right?" This is Augustus' understanding of Fransted's words.

Different from Ferreljord's performance, although Augustus, who has a very high acting talent, wears a very ordinary Noxian knight's armor, anyone who sees Augustus and their group will feel Augustus's unique temperament that stands out from the crowd.

It's the same as a down-and-out aristocrat mixed in the call of Hanako, no matter how down, no matter how down, it will be completely different from the ordinary Hanako in terms of behavior and habits, which can not be changed overnight.

Augustus had such a characteristic temperament, and after nearly six years of training by Frans, and Augustus continued to learn and enrich. There may be geniuses in this world. But a genius who is not diligent will always be like a meteor flashing in the sky, leaving no footprints and no waves, in the history of the Valoran continent.

Originally, Augustus was going to take his knights of the Knights of the Warrior Order to rest at the Porsan Manor, which had been planned for a long time, and then immediately go to St. Peter's Castle to meet General Burnham, and perhaps for the last time.

Regardless of whether Augustus admits it or not, when Burnham of Epustin Cathedral was condescending to the dignity of Burnham and used his own value as a supporting role to set off the well-deserved protagonist of Egustin Cathedral, Augustus had already firmly attached a label called General Burnham to his body.

But where there is a label with the word Burnham. I am afraid that no shrewd, cunning and sinister aristocrat will forget and dare to forget, Burnham, one of the main culprits that caused the collapse of the old aristocracy, is still resented by many old nobles who yearn to revive the supremacy of the nobility of the old aristocracy.

Of course, in the face of absolute power, the pitiful word of hatred simply does not play a role. That's why Burnham was able to rule the Noxian Empire for half a century, but what about some nobles who hated the house and U? General Burnham is supreme and sacrosanct, but that doesn't mean so are the people who label Burnham.

In the world of aristocracy, the weak should never collide head-on with the strong without full certainty. The weak, on the other hand, can bully and suppress those who are weaker than him, and then grab strength in them.

Even Augustus was reluctant to admit it, but he had to admit it. There are too many beings in St. Peter's Castle that could easily pinch him to death. This was the case before, and it is still the case now, perhaps the only difference is that if you want to pinch Augustus to death now, you must pay a particularly heavy price at this special time, two hundred knights of the Warrior Order who have the strength of a knight of the median rank or above, in the face of this power, even if any nobleman wants to get rid of Augustus, he must weigh whether it is cost-effective to get rid of this Augustus.

Augustus' original plan was interrupted by the appearance of a man, who was completely unexpected. A simple black robe, black, this color of the robe rarely appears in the aristocratic world, the aristocratic world is always bright, bright, and the black with an ominous and obscure tone of clothing should belong to those who study the mysteries of magic in the mountains and valleys, and some commoners who look up to the gate of the aristocratic world.

However, this old man in black Yalita robes was not a magician or a commoner who explored the mysteries of magic, but a nobleman who could not be more obvious, and a nobleman who was very famous even in the entire continent of Valoran.

The Duke of Werewolf, the Duke who was famous in the Noxian Empire for his rebelliousness, brutality, ruthlessness, murderousness, and cunning twenty years ago, even though more than twenty years have passed now, this old duke who still has the conspicuous title of Duke of Werewolf in the Noxian Empire is not weak in the eyes of the nobles of the Noxian Empire.

Pekoski, the vampire duke who was a dog of the most intelligent Constantine family in Valoran, is now a scum among the nobles of the Noxus Empire, and his reputation is definitely not comparable to that of this unscrupulous werewolf duke twenty years ago.

As for prestige and fame, the werewolf Duke Erquilo, who had participated in several holy wars in his youth and was covered with medals of glory, was even more clever than this co-ordinator, who also had an indecent nickname with him.

This werewolf duke, who was once out of the power center of the Noxian Empire, but last year because Cardinal Archbishop Hygaya appeared from the Pope's Office and then reappeared in front of the world in the political arena of the Noxian Empire, and instantly became the most dazzling adults in Noxus, standing straight in front of Augustus, looking at Augustus with a slightly scrutinizing eye, although it was not obvious, but it could make people feel the condescending meaning.

"Duke Elquilo of the Werewolf?" Looking at Erquilo, who was standing straight in front of the horse's hooves, Augustus was slightly surprised, but without surprise or fear, he waved his horsewhip and went straight towards Erquilo.

Two hundred members of the Knights of the Warriors, this is the capital of Augustus speaking in St. Peter's City today, even in the face of Burnham, Du Quecao, Darius, and Svein, Augustus can deal with it calmly, not to mention Erquilo, who has lost his godfather, the werewolf duke who has been away from Noxian politics for a long time?

Recently, Erquilo's ears have been calloused, no, aren't those old guys talking about the potential youth that have appeared in the Noxus Empire over the years? Erquiro expressed his disdain, this group of old guys wanted to be free to see God as soon as possible, so they wanted to find some potential young people for their descendants to consolidate the power of the family.

Potential? What an ethereal thing this is! He never cares too much about a young person's potential, and he will never deliberately try to win over a young person with potential, after all, for a person in his position, potential is like a blank agreement.

However, as a nobleman, it is absolutely impossible for Terry to be independent, even if he is Erquilo, who is nicknamed the Duke of Werewolf by the scum of the aristocratic world. Erquilo, who never distanced himself from the other nobles in speech, has also studied a lot of discussions about the outstanding young people within the Noxian Empire these days.

For example, Octavian, who was most popular among the nobles some time ago, because of the fiasco of the Kumon Forest, this nobleman who was favored by the nobles is now worth a lot among the nobles, and Rommel, the war maniac who fought against the Demacian Empire, was favored and wooed by the nobles because he did not fall behind in the battle with Demacia.

Of course, it is not Rommel and Octavian who have been talked about the most in recent times, nor Orfit, nor Son Thancon, but a figure who has disappeared into the aristocratic world for a long time: Augustus!

For Augustus, there was a saying in the aristocratic world: "Now the Imperial Spirit, General Du Kekao, has been defeated in the territory of Ferreljord, and has abandoned his armor and returned to the Noxian Empire." And now Augustus has returned to the empire with an entire knight of the Knights of the Warrior Order, what does this mean? Will there be a figure in the Empire who will bring the Empire to the pinnacle of Valoran? (To be continued.) )
