Chapter 20: The Black Rose Never Withers

Black Rose, there are probably few people in the aristocratic world who do not know about this organization that sounds beautiful and elegant, but in fact its birth, development and annihilation are hidden in the fog. As the lord of the city that formed an important part of the empire and the bishop of the Holy See who controlled the faith, Urgart and Raphael naturally knew this name.

In general, Noxus is divided by historians into two eras: the old aristocratic era and the imperial age!

In the era of the old nobility of Noxus, the aristocracy dominated by the emperor controlled all the resources of Noxus, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it turned over to clouds and hands to rain, even if it lasted for 400 years, the House of Elders with great prestige in the empire could not stop the pace of the old aristocratic forces headed by the ancient Latin the Great at that time.

A hundred years ago, with the rise of the army and civilian strength and a new type of aristocracy, this era of self-supremacy that lasted for nearly eighty years was over to a certain extent, but even so, now some of the ancient old nobles who have been inherited for hundreds or even thousands of years already enjoy non-negligible rights in the Noxus Federation, although they are no longer as unscrupulous as the old aristocratic era in the past, turning their hands over the clouds and controlling everything for the rain, but it is not that any new type of aristocracy or rising army generals dare to provoke easily.

In fact, historians record that the old aristocratic era has hidden too many secrets that have been sealed by the dust of time, and some secrets can never be recorded by historians in the pen and paper and known to the public in later generations.

There has always been a well-known secret among the Noxian upper class: the old aristocracy in the eyes of historians is an era of leadership called the Black Rose in the eyes of those in power. Leading the vast country of Noxus by an organization may seem incredible to many, but it is actually a fact.

The reason why the old aristocratic era was extinguished by the army that had already come to the fore and the newly rising aristocratic power without making extra resistance was that when the army began to mature from immaturity, the black rose seemed to disappear into Noxus overnight, and the black cloud that was originally shrouded by black roses over Noxus dissipated in one day.

Originally, the current ruler of Noxus also thought that the era of the black aristocracy of the past was gone, but when the former ruler of the black rose, the woman who had reached the pinnacle of magic in magic, LeBlan, appeared again in the Noxian imperial capital and now held the power? General Wildak's castle in front of the tense. Everyone came to their senses, and it turned out that the black rose had not disappeared.

Ergart took a deep breath, he was not afraid to hide his strength and lurk in the Black Rose Organization of the world in the Valoran Continent, in his eyes, the Black Rose was like a group of rats living in the dark sewers, it was too late to escape in embarrassment, how could he dare to invade the upper class of Ulder City? Not to mention provoking the Noxian Empire led by General Burnham and reclaiming the throne of the past.

This idea was definitely a fallacy in the eyes of Svein, who knew the truth, that the powerful Black Rose Organization was not defeated by the nobles and armies who opposed the old aristocracy, but had hidden underground for nearly a century with no loss. Do the devil know how terrifying they have become?

If Svein had heard Ergat's militaristic words, he would have sneered in response: "A black rose that has dominated the throne of the old aristocracy for hundreds of years is a rat to be reckoned with, even if it is a filthy rat lurking in the sewers!" They have the power to control the throne of the old aristocracy, so why can't they control the current Noxus? ”

However, even if Urgart was disdainful of the Black Rose Organization, he also showed a deep look of jealousy towards the female leader of the former Black Rose that Svein said with an incomparable dignified look, and the woman who could make Lord Svein and General Burnham pay attention to, no matter how 'influential' they were, pinching their own group of guys was not as simple as pinching a bed bug to death. What's more, listening to Svein's big mouth, this woman is not only not at the level of 'non-entry'. There are even some who are above them.

The existence of walking side by side with the gods, my God, General Burnham, who has become the object of worship of the world, should give such a high opinion to this former leader of the Black Rose, if it were not for the person who said this is his respected teacher Svein. I'm afraid he won't believe it anyway.

Urgart took a deep breath, looked at Svein, and said respectfully, "Lord Svein, what is the name of the leader of the Black Roses?" ”

Svein didn't speak for a while. Ergart and Raphael stood in place, naturally not daring to say anything. At this moment, they could all see that Svein attached great importance to this woman, and their hearts were solemn and relaxed at the same time. Judging from Lord Svein's various performances, the former leader of the Black Rose should have left Al Tsubaki City, otherwise Lord Svein would not have participated in the recruit meeting so openly.

Urgart and Raphael are not stupid, and they can still figure out this little bit of reason.

"LeBlanc, the closest being to a god in the world, she is the supreme power that is enough to look down on the magicians of the sky, with her presence, the black rose is like the black rose that blooms in the eternal night, it will never wither." After that, Svein, who was no longer in the mood to speak, left without looking back, leaving the two who slowly chewed on this incomparable shocking sentence to them.

Svein, who was holding a cane in one hand and a copy of the Teachings of the Holy See written by the posthumously canonized Saint Ieta between his right shoulder and a copy of the official texts of the Holy See, did not tell the two disciples who were already immersed in his shocked words: When Saint Ieta was dying, he said that the Teachings should not only have the name of Saint Iyeta, but should also include LeBlan.

LeBlanc, isn't that the tricky enchantress LeBlanc who stands at the pinnacle of the Valoran continent?? The woman who was hailed by Burnham as walking side by side with the gods.

Of course, one of the four canons officially recognized by the Holy See, and the most obscure of the Teachings, the only book on it has the name of Iyeta, which is full of divine atmosphere, and there is no name that LeBlan, the superior who stands at the top of the pyramid, fears and fears.

At this moment, the three high-ranking people gathered on the Leaning Tower of Pisa would never have imagined that the woman they spoke of, whom General Burnham respected and valued, had some connection with an ordinary civilian in Alder City, and this commoner had raised the idea that no one in the continent of Valoran dared to give birth to: to conquer this great woman.

Augustus, who showed his sharp edge for the first time in the square, walked to Aunt Carlos, who had been waiting for him outside the square for a while, and his face was no longer as unruly as when he faced Orit, Pompey, Eisen and others just now, with a bright and innocent smile and a somewhat helpless look, and was pulled away from the square by Aunt Carlos in a hurry.

Returning to the stone house where he had lived for sixteen years, Carlos let go of Augustus' arm and walked towards the stone house, which was almost identical to Augustus' room layout.

The sharp-eyed Augustus clearly noticed that the stone house was still billowing with smoke. Immediately, without waiting for Augustus to speculate, Carlos, who rushed into the room, rushed out again, waved her hand at Augustus, and scolded with a smile: "If you pick up a pig's foot today, you kid will be cheaper!" ”

Augustus smiled, and though he could see through Aunt Carros's lie at a glance, he did not hesitate to rush into the stone house to taste the pig's feet that Aunt Carlos should have gotten up early in the morning to cook.

Looking at the hot and already cooked pork in the pot. Augustus could imagine the scene of Aunt Carlos, who had always been lazy after eight o'clock, rubbed her eyes and got up and walked down the cold street to prepare pig's feet for him.

Sitting on a small wooden chair holding a large bowl of pork, he inadvertently swept over Carlos's fat feet, although the pale red very tacky skirt concealed Aunt Carlos's fat body, Augustus still noticed that the knees of the pale red dress were very deeply bloodstained.

In the early morning, a layer of ice was formed on the streets of Alder City, and Aunt Carros was a person with poor balance, thinking of this, Augustus basically understood why he was walking with Aunt Carros. Finding that Carros's speed was significantly slower than usual, Augustus finally understood the reason.

At this moment, his gaze happened to look at him with an expectant look, and his face was almost written; "Is it delicious" Aunt Carros. Eight years ago, after only once in the tears of his adoptive father's death, Augustus, who did not shed tears even when he almost died in a hunt with a brown bear in the Cherry Mountain, held the hot broth and his eyes were red. The tears almost left directly.

Taking a deep breath slowly, Augustus ignored the still hot soup and ate a bite of the hot pig's feet. With a bright smile on his face, he looked at Aunt Carlos, who had never been liked by the residents of Alder City, and said loudly: "It's delicious, Aunt Carlos cooks things that no one can compare." ”

Hearing this, Carros, who was enduring the huge pain in her knees, immediately smiled, she raised her head, looked proud, and said in her usual loud voice: "That's it, who can compare to my Carlos in the entire Alder City in terms of cooking skills." As she spoke, Carros's eyes turned red, and tears flowed down her eyes and dripped on Augustus's head.

And Augustus, the only Aunt Carros who treated him well in Alder City, raised her head and finally couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes anymore, and the tears dripped and fell into the soup.

At this moment, Augustus could finally no longer suppress his emotions, he put down the broth in his hand, stood up, opened his hand, and hugged Carlos, who was caught off guard and was still immersed in Augustus's sadness about to leave her, under Carlos's dull eyes, Augustus said softly: "Aunt Carlos, do your feet still hurt?" Let your little Augustus show you it. ”

Caros, who quickly came back to her senses, obviously felt that Augustus had a strong attachment to herself, and she had been lonely all her life, lonely all her life, because of her appearance and posture, Caros, who had rejected a cup for the world, felt unprecedented comfort in her heart, but she pushed Augustus away fiercely, pointed at Augustus and said: "What are you crying about, your Aunt Carlos is dead, you have to cry?" After scolding, Caros said to Augustus to eat the meat and buy medicine for the aunt.

Augustus wiped away the tears from his face, smiled and nodded, and then gulped down the meat in the bowl, and fed Aunt Carlos as usual from time to time.

In order to sell meat to Aunt Carlos as soon as possible, Augustus ate quickly, and soon Augustus got up to sell medicine for Aunt Carlos, Carlos stared at Augustus leaving, and when Augustus was far away, Carlos, who was already in a cold sweat on her forehead, reached out and picked up the pink dress that she had woven with her most precious wool, and lifted the dress to her knees.

As Augustus had predicted, there were at least a dozen blows to her knees, and Carlos's physique fell heavily on the stone-paved street, resulting in a scar that she could not bear to look at now.

It's still bleeding from my knees!

It's hard to imagine that this woman would lift the pig's foot with one hand high when she fell, so as not to let the pig's foot get dirty.

For the serious injury on her leg, Caros turned a deaf ear, her eyes were still looking in the direction of Augustus's departure, and for a long, long time, she muttered to herself: "My little Augustus, Aunt Caros knows that you are an eagle in the sky, don't delay your future because of Aunt Caros!" Aunt Carros is willing to watch you fly freely in the sky from a distance alone, and everyone looks at you with envy, and she doesn't want you to be tied up and sink because of her aunt. ”

Augustus, who had bought the medicine and ran back panting, heard this sentence outside the door where the sound could be heard, Augustus suddenly froze in place as if he had been immobilized, looking at Aunt Carlos, who was still bleeding from her legs, and an indescribable emotion filled Augustus's mind.

Augustus smiled, his smile was reluctant, but there was a hint in his eyes that anyone would be terrified and sharp when he saw it.

"Survive, at least on Place Stiroland!" At this moment, Augustus's heart was filled with an unprecedented desire for victory. (To be continued.) )
