Chapter 3: The Uninvited Guest

Banquets, such a program that arose from among the aristocracy and eventually spread to the rich and commoners, Augustus was no stranger. With the alien in the eyes of the townsfolk of Urrok, who should even be regarded as a heresy that should be sent to the religious sect, the Minotaur Alista, who rarely appears on the mainland, and the elegant knight of Ionia, Honan, who almost all nobles and celebrities are willing to accept.

Augustus, who had attended the ceremony of the Cathedral of Egustus held by General Burnham, had not seen any big scenes, and he had no expectations for the banquet that Sir Tertoon had said.

What could be surprising and surprising about a knight who was not as good as a mid-rank knight in the eyes of Augustus? Could it be that the shrewd Sir Ge Tai Dong would offer beautiful elven beauties at a banquet, which is something that only happens at a banquet where General Burnham is the protagonist, and as for him, Augustus does not think that he has the qualifications!

Ge Taidong looked at Augustus who arrived from the expedition of Ferreljord with a respectful expression, a knight who could safely return from Ferreljord? Moreover, it is said that this knight named Augustus had been awarded the Order of Iron Oak by General Burnham himself, and had attended the highest award ceremony in the Cathedral of Eugustín in fifty years, and that he could be favored by this great man, and perhaps my knighthood might rise from the knighthood to an elegant and noble viscount.

Thinking of this, Sir Ge Taidong, who was full of calculations, smiled even more enthusiastically, and under that enthusiasm, Augustus saw a kind of lust like a hungry and thirsty ~ wolf suddenly saw the great beauty who was alluring the country and the city, and had an urge to do it immediately. Augustus, who has been taught by Fransd with the strictest aristocratic etiquette since becoming a member of the Knights of the Hundred Leaf Flowers, can naturally deal with this rich man's banquet that is the highest but a corner of Sir Tranquility and has not seen much of a big scene, and glanced at Ge Taidong, Augustus revealed a proud look that was not too gentle, and his eyes swept from Sir Ge Taidong to both sides, a little disappointed, this group of people who are mainly Ge Taidong, who are over fifty years old, really do not have the one worthy of his attention.

In Ge Taidong's eyes, it can be taken for granted. The knight who had returned from the expedition to Noxus sat down on the main seat without any humility! If Augustus pretended to be polite or humble, he suspected that he had hired the wrong person.

A young person with real potential should have the pride of a young talent, shouldn't he? Otherwise, how can he be appreciated by General Burnham? Ge Taidong, who was known for his shrewdness in the town of Geruok, stood respectfully in front of Augustus, and secretly wondered in his heart that a pair of eyes that were originally cloudy from old age actually exuded the sharp eyes that a young man should have!

However, this look is not the same as the sharpness of young people, but with an indescribable sincerity and worship. For this kind of look, Augustus has seen too much: the rich man who is trying to squeeze into the threshold of the nobility, the little nobleman who desperately wants to be appreciated by the big people, and the only friend of Augustus who has the status of a noble nobleman, Borlet, once half-jokingly said: "Even the nobles who now have the most honorable surname, the first generation of nobles who created this surname a few years ago were just lowly commoners or even slaves, and they lowly sat on the horses of the nobles, and became cattle and horses." Only then did I have the noble surname of the juniors! ”

Augustus was not disgusted with this kind of lustful eyes, but he definitely didn't want to be a stepping stone for this kind of person to climb the mountain of power, so he waved his hand to Ge Taidong and the dozen or so old men standing side by side with Ge Taidong, and asked softly: "Sir Ge Taidong, have all the people arrived?" ”

"Of course, Young Master Augustus is here, and the banquet can begin!" Ge Taidong ignored the pleading eyes of the other rich people who had just greeted the arrogant Young Master Augustus, and answered Augustus's question very happily.

Want me to introduce you to Master Augustus? Have you paid enough to scatter the gold? Ge Taidong arranged the banquet happily and thoughtfully, and glanced at the rich people with sincere eyes behind him. I sneered in my heart.

Although he is just a low-class nobleman, he is really disgusted and disgusted by this group of rich people who are insatiable and want to squeeze into the threshold of nobility!

Ignoring the thoughts of Ge Tai Dong and the rich people present in the town of Ge Ruok, Augustus casually asked the names of a few rich people who were around him, and then did not pay much attention to this group of rich people who were already so excited that they almost burst into tears just because of Augustus' casual inquiry!

The heart sighed: the gap between the classes was no less than the political divide between the Demacian Empire and the Noxian Empire.

Alista, a minotaur with two distinct sharp horns, calmly made eye contact with the members of the banquet who swept in with strange eyes. There are no waves in the ancient well! The population of the small town of Norok was only seven or eight thousand, but there were not many people attending this banquet, and Alista roughly estimated that there were at least two or three hundred people. That's almost the same as the number of people attending a banquet hosted by a mid-class nobleman in the Noxian Empire.

Never sensitive to aristocrats and wealthy people, Arista carefully glanced at the twenty rich people attending the banquet and a group of dazzling beautiful girls. Finally, his eyes fell on Huo Nan, who had a playful smile on one side, frowned, tried his best to lower his already loud voice, and said, "Huo Nan, are those people really mixed in with this group of rich people?" ”

The crowd? In addition to the crowd that is not good for Augustus, who else deserves so much attention from Alista?

Stretching out his index finger and gently putting it to his mouth, Huo Nan, who made a frivolous gesture that was completely inconsistent with knightly demeanor or aristocratic temperament, looked at the frowning Alista, showed a playful smile, and said softly: "Patience, this is not something that human beings should exist in essence, because it does not exist, so we need to have it more, otherwise how can there be so many politicians and big men who can stand above the clouds and look down on all beings?" ”

Alista did not respond to Huo Nan's obscure remarks that were almost equivalent to the heavyweight classics of the Holy See in "The Hand of God" and "Castle in the Sky", first, he had long been accustomed to the wisdom of Huo Nan, a knight born in Ionia, and secondly, Alista knew that even if he asked, he would not be able to get any answers.

Alista, who didn't have a bright head, chose the simplest and most effective way: pay attention to everything around Master Augustus, no, even if the Night Hunter lurking in the city of Demacia suddenly attacked, wouldn't it?

Augustus, who was the protagonist of the dinner, slightly said that he had drunk a few glasses of red wine with the rich men who had prepared the dinner and Sir Tertaidon with a few glasses of red wine that were far inferior to those at the banquet at the Cathedral of Egustin in St. Peter's City, and then got up from his throne and walked to a secluded corner, focusing the banquet on the hospitable Sir Tertois.

Shaking a wine glass. Sitting in a secluded corner even though it was illuminated by a luxurious crystal magic lamp, it was also gloomy, and unlike most of the rich people in the banquet, or ornate or formal banquet costumes, Augustus, who was dressed in a simple scarlet dress outside the armor as black as ink, looked at Ge Taidong, who was gathering in the banquet center with a red wine glass with a face full of spring light, looking like a successful person, and talking eloquently, Augustus couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head: " How dare such a minor nobleman, who was so ordinary in the Noxian Empire, work with the Night Hunters of the Demacian Empire under the noses of the all-pervasive night watchmen of the Byzantian Holy See? What a gut it takes! ”

Night watchman, at the mention of this name, both commoners and nobles will tremble all over their bodies and sweat coldly! The slightly dark name is inextricably linked to an institution that is sacred, but that almost all Noxian residents don't want to spend a quarter of an hour within.

Religious Judgment House!

Also known as the Inquisition in the Demacian Empire!

In both the Noxian Empire and the Demacian Empire, the most vicious curse against a nobleman is not "You die and go to hell". Instead, you have to talk to the guys from the Sacramental Ministries of the Vatican, go about the doctrine!

This sacramental ministry that floats over the Demacian Empire and the Noxian Empire like ghosts and deaths, and the Holy See of Byzantio, the "spiritual father" of the mainland, is also the Holy See that stands in the Noxian Empire, known as the Pope's Inquisition, also known as the Inquisition! The Holy See of the Vatican, which split from the Byzantian Holy See 800 years ago and eventually took root in the Demacian Empire, is also known as the Inquisition. Neither General Burnham, who had supreme authority in Noxus, nor Gavin III, who had the supreme imperial power in the Demacian Empire, were reluctant to point fingers at these two sacred institutions that were more obscure than darkness!

The Night Watch is the Papal Inquisition Chamber of the Holy See of Byzantio, rooted in the Noxian Empire, and the Holy See officials of the Inquisition used to capture evil necromancers, traitors, puppeteers, vampires, werewolves, and all other organizations that threaten the security of the Noxian Empire and the safety of the Holy See.

The Night's Watch is directly under the orders of the three giants of the Inquisition.

The Demacian Empire, which has always been in opposition to the Noxian Empire, and the Vatican Holy See, which is rooted in the Demacian Empire, are the last names that the Holy See of Noxus and Byzantio is willing to mention. Although the Byzantian Holy See and the Vatican will conduct non-political deliberations when dealing with the choice of a saint to determine whether the candidate is qualified to become a saint, this does not prevent the two Holy Sees from opposing each other.

To the Night Watch of the Inquisition, the Night Hunters, an organization in the service of the Demacian Empire, were tantamount to heresy. All members who cooperate with this organization, regardless of their titles. Almost all of them will be sent to the Inquisition and one of the three giants of the Inquisition for doctrinal studies without mercy, and as for when it can appear again, it may only be to ask the dark giant of Vladimir, who has a special penchant for blood and privately talks among nobles that he may have vampire blood, depending on his mood!

Gently shake the wine glass. Augustus raised his glass and took a sip of it, and then looked at the noisy and uninteresting banquet as he got up and left, when the closed door of the banquet was pushed open in a proclamatory manner!

A shriveled corpse was thrown like a feather into the banquet center, which was more than ten meters away from the gate. Falling right at the feet of Sir Ge Taidong, the only nobleman in the banquet, a slender body wrapped in a pure black robe gracefully walked into the banquet center from the gate, and a soft voice with a magnetic voice sounded in the banquet that suddenly froze: "Young Master Augustus." I hope I didn't disturb your party! ”
