Chapter 34: Sincerity
Chapter 34: Sincerity
Two hundred knights with a strength of about the middle class, this is the most reliable capital that Augustus can gain a foothold in the permafrost tundra! In the days of his absence, Augustus could not believe that this group of knights, who had hidden a violent and resistant heart under their usually docile behavior, would honestly train according to his arrangement.
No, as soon as he entered the door, Augustus gave the group of knights a dismount.
"In a group of five, prove that you are not trash, come!" Taking off the armor on his body, Augustus hooked his fingers and said with disdain on his face. Most of these knights were retrieved by Augustus from the slave trading place, and a small number were obtained by Noxus and Ferreljord on the way, of course, they were covered with blood, so it can be said that most of the knights here did not have a high sense of belonging to Augustus, but they were forced to stay under Augustus honestly because of one of the eight beliefs of knights: commitment.
When these words fell, it was not the first time that the knights who had heard this sentence suddenly rushed towards Augustus in groups of five, brandishing their weapons, and attacking Augustus's fatal parts without any mercy.
After entertaining the barbarian warriors such as Umun Tuoba with a sumptuous dinner, Lisandro led a part of his tribesmen to Augustus's garrison, and the door was not clear. calmly looked at the murderous but already familiar scene in front of him.
"You're just a stepping stone for me, and you can use me as your stepping stone!" At the beginning, Augustus was like this, in a group of five, defeated two hundred of his subordinates, scarred all over, and sneered and said arrogantly to the group of subordinates who didn't even have the strength to get up.
Lisandro, who was still a little maid at the beginning, was very incomprehensible to Augustus's crazy behavior of gambling with her life and choosing to grow stronger, but with the change of her status, Princess Lisandro, who used to be an ascetic tribe, stood on an equal footing with Augustus, and asked Augustus the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time: "Your group of subordinates is only a group, even if they get a miracle, only a small number of them will only reach the great knights." But why do you choose to use your precious life to fight for your life against this group of lowly people who are nothing? ”
Lisandro will always remember Augustus' reply: "Dear Princess Lisandro, that's all I can say to you!" If a person with a noble status does not dare to give up his noble identity and fight with his low status, then it will be difficult for him to take another step forward and become the true master of the Valoran continent! ”
In this sentence, Lisandro heard two words: courage, ambition!
How can you get to the Valoran Continent without courage? And without ambition, how dare you dare to dominate the ups and downs of the Valoran continent? From the very beginning of her contact with Augustus, Lissandra knew that Augustus was definitely not a man who was willing to be ordinary, and now she proves it.
Looking at Augustus, who had knocked his knights out in a simple and brutal way again and again, a strange thought suddenly appeared in Lisandro's mind, if only Augustus had died at the hands of this group of knights. Immediately, Lisandro herself was frightened by the thought of herself.
"At least Augustus is still my ally, but what about the barbarians?" Recalling the treacherous smile hidden under that honest face, Lisandro sneered. The triumphant Umeng Tuoba would never have imagined that he would be a maid at Augustus' side. Lisandro learned an interesting thing from Augustus.
"The nobles are full of elegant words, impeccable intelligence, and clever conversational skills, and of course, a false face that hides emotions flawlessly! When a nobleman can see through the delicate mask on his face behind his elegant words, impeccable wisdom, and clever conversation, then the nobleman is already invincible! But basically there are very few such people, so we need a little tool, or timing! Augustus played with the mirror in his hand, pinching Lisandro's chin and laughing.
At that time, Lisandro was eager to use ice magic to freeze these men who had desecrated her body into ice cubes, but this man's words aroused her curiosity, so Lisandro reluctantly made a submissive expression and asked, "Master Augustus." Are you talking about the tool being the mirror in your hand? ”
Augustus patted Lisandro's silky but naturally cold hair, and took Lisandro into his arms. Lisandro was frightened by Augustus's rude initiative, and thought that Augustus, like many nobles, would take possession of his insignificant but rather beautiful little maiden, and that the ice magic was ready to continue. As long as Augustus dares to make the next move, she will use ice magic to kill this Noxian soldier with extraordinary ambition and strength.
It's just that Augustus didn't hold Lisandro in his arms as Lisandro expected, and played with Lisandro's jet-black and shiny hair with his left hand. The right hand is outstretched, and the middle finger is pressed against the rotating round mirror, squinting. He said softly: "If you meet an old immortal at the level of a pope, patriarch or cardinal, or an old nobleman who has lived for seventy or eighty years, you will naturally put away these little cleverness and be a dutiful fool, because not only will they not find any flaws for you, but will make your little cleverness have nothing to hide!" No cardinal or old nobleman would want to face a young fellow who was scheming about himself every day, with a young face that would make them jealous! And with some ordinary priests or those young nobles, you can choose to talk to them and then use the mirror in your hand to look at their expressions as you turn away, and their expressions should be their truest expressions. ”
Lisandro was really shocked by Augustus's words, and looked at Augustus in a daze, this little wisdom is the method that many brave people can think of? Don't you, Augustus, have you the slightest fear of the powerful? Lisandro couldn't help but sigh softly.
With a bang, Augustus suddenly smashed the palm-sized round mirror in his hand, picked up a small piece of it and held it in his hand, with a bright smile on his face, and said: That mirror is too big, it is just right!
At this moment, Augustus held a mirror the size of his thumb in his hand.
Unfortunately, Umun became the first experimenter of the mirror in Lisandro's hands, and his expression under the lens was completely exposed to Lisandro.
Two hundred and thirteen Noxian knights were lying on the ground, all scarred and unable to get up. Augustus also had a lot of scars on his body, but in the eyes of this group of knights, he stood like a demon god, so they could only look up from afar!
Ignoring the awe-inspiring or resentful or adoring eyes of the knights, Augustus put on his armor and looked indifferent, disdainfully sweeping over the group of losers, and there was no pride in his voice but a deathly calm, and said: "I once said that either you will be my stepping stone, or I will be your stepping stone, and now you are still my stepping stone!" ”
No one responded to Augustus's words. Led by Huo Nan and Alista, the group of Noxian knights, who were ruthlessly attacked by Augustus, slowly got up, and finally ran on the simple track around the thatched hut.
Putting on the armor, Augustus, whose face disappeared in an instant, walked towards Lisandro with a smile, and his eyes swept up and down on Lisandro, who was only wrapped in a cool dress, and finally looked at Lisandro with satisfaction, and asked: "Judging by your expression, this group of barbarian warriors should have put forward their own conditions." ”
Lisandro nodded. Waving his hand to let his loyal subordinates leave, the two of them walked towards the snowy mountain very naturally. Rubbing his forehead, Lisandro looked at Augustus with a slightly teasing expression, and said, "Umeng Tuoba not only put forward the conditions, but also attached an important piece of information. ”
"What information?" Augustus asked, looking at Lisandro.
Lisandro said in a flat tone, "Umeng Tuoba said that you took the initiative to rest in the Ice Archer Tribe for a day!" On this day, you have invited Princess Ash of the Ice Shooter tribe to entertain you personally! ”
Augustus suddenly took Lisandro's hand. Then he took off the lens that Lisandro was holding in his hand with a quick movement, stopped and looked at Lisandro, and laughed softly: "I taught you this little trick, so playing this little trick in front of me is like playing with these little tricks in the Patriarch or the Cardinal." It's a stupid joke, I think the clever Princess Lisandro must have seen the playful look on Umeng Tuoba after you left! ”
Augustus looked at the intellectual, noble, and quiet woman in front of him with a smile, and gently returned the lens in his hand to Augustus's hand.
For the slightly thin hands that sit on the shoulders. Lisandro was indifferent, looking at Augustus with a pair of eyes with a ridiculously calm demeanor, looking at the noxian soldier in front of him, who was known for his cunning, and slowly spoke: "Umon Tuoba is not a fool, and I am not a fool, at least I can see from your slightly presumptuous actions that this trip to the Hoh Xil Plain should bring you a lot of benefits, right?" Otherwise, how could the careful, cautious Young Master Augustus be so unscrupulous and provoke me, the leader of the ascetic tribe? ”
Lisandro brushed aside Augustus' hands that were still on her shoulders and spoke, "Perhaps you should have reached something with Sejuani or Ash that would have made you so unscrupulous so far!" ”
Augustus gently stroked the skin on Lisandro's shoulders that would be intoxicated by any man through his thin dress, with a smile on his face that would fascinate any woman when she saw it, his eyes were calm and indifferent, and his eyes did not flicker without any flickering, and he looked directly at the woman in front of him who was the most conquest desire for Augustus on the permafrost tundra, and said: "Princess Lisandro, you should know that we come together because of interests, and naturally we will be scattered because of interests!" That's a no-brainer thing in itself, and I've never made a secret of my alliance with Queen Ash, the Ice Shooter Tribe, if you ask, and I'll tell you! Isn't it? ”
Augustus looked at Lisandro with a smile, Lisandro suddenly felt that Augustus's deliberately suppressed arrogance rose sharply in an instant, directly overpowering the momentum on her body, looking at the man in front of her, Lisandro felt the pressure she hadn't felt for a long time!
At this moment, Lisandro couldn't help but recall the words she said domineeringly when she was a maid under the man in front of her, when this man first came to the permafrost tundra and stood on this snow-capped peak: "I see, I conquer!" ”
Simple, but blind, domineering words!
