Chapter 38, the big shot

"Augustus, this is not the answer I want!"

The corners of Augustus's mouth hooked a slight arc, looking at the noble woman in front of him who was dressed as a typical Noxian Empire lady, but he couldn't help but be incompatible with the elf in the Eugustín Cathedral a year ago, like a little elf who broke into the noisy mortal world, with a face that was enough to seduce any man's pure soul, and sighed softly: "Princess Kiris, I am willing to listen to your answer but can't give you the answer you want!" ”

"I am the daughter of Nicocage the Great, I am the only royal blood of the Noxian Empire today, I was born with the right to inherit a powerful empire, and I am the proud daughter of the sky in the eyes of others." Reining in the horses, Kiris said in a low, slightly hoarse voice.

Augustus did not respond, and Augustus, who was good at speculating on the thoughts of big men, rarely tried to figure out the thoughts of some big men. Chillis is probably the smartest and least intelligent of all the big men he's ever seen!

A wise woman is definitely smart, while a smart person is not necessarily wise. Just as the great bard Pei Duofei once said: wisdom needs the precipitation of years, and wisdom simply depends on the natural talent, God has given human wisdom and evolved into wisdom, and we human beings seek a mystery that God places in the wisdom - wisdom.

Augustus had to admit that Kiris was indeed a very intelligent woman, even smarter than any young woman she had ever met. Three minutes to get the kindness of a nobleman, five minutes to chat happily with a strange nobleman, and ten minutes to become the nobleman's apparent fox friend and dog friend, this is the training of Augustus by Fransde during his lifetime.

Franste succeeded, and Augustus succeeded.

But there are some Augustus who have difficulty seeing through, such as the two pearls of General Du Quecao. For example, in front of Princess Kiris, in front of them, Augustus maintained his usual silence, low-key, and cautious.

"Augustus, do you think in your heart, like those nobles who are outwardly pious and hypocritical at heart, that if I do not have the noble status of a direct heir of Emperor Nikocage the Great? Am I worthless? ”

Augustus replied calmly, saying, "It is undeniable that noble origins do have a super starting point higher than ordinary people, but this is not the fundamental reason for the success of successful people. Even if a successful person is lucky and favored repeatedly, if he does not resist the capital of hiding in the dark and peeping at his opponent, he will fall off the altar sooner or later. ”

Augustus, who rarely showed his true emotions, calmly looked at Chillis, who was dressed in aristocratic clothes but did not look like a nobleman at all, and said: "It is undeniable that I am jealous of the status you have since birth, princess, but I also cannot deny that with the status you were born into, you have also paid an unimaginable price for ordinary people. And it's a price that many people are not willing to pay! ”

"Augustus, is this your consolation?"

Augustus smiled at Kiris, who had regained her aristocratic ladyhood, and said, "Maybe you can understand it this way! ”

"Augustus, I believe you will be a brilliant lord in the future, ruling over Ferreljord!" Rose, who had recovered Augustus's very strange and elegant celebrity temperament, showed an impeccable smile at Augustus, a sly look flashed in her eyes, and said softly: "This may be the first order I issued to become the empress of the Noxian Empire!" ”

Augustus looked at Chillis with no ecstatic expression on his face that she wanted to see, but at the calm of an ancient nobleman who had gone through the vicissitudes of honor and disgrace. All this was expected by Kiris, if Augustus really showed an ecstatic look. The future Lord of Noxus would definitely erase Augustus from the list. The pillars of the empire that Noxus needed may be wise and wise, but the pillars that the Noxian empress needed were sincere subjects.

"Your Royal Highness, Princess Kiris, is this an invitation?" Augustus turned his head away, staring at the flawless side face of Kiris, his hand on the reins, and walking in sync with Kiris.

General Burnham has handed over the rights of the Noxian Empire to Svein and Kiris. This is not a secret thing in the world of the upper nobility of the St. Peter's City Empire, so the lord of the Noxus Empire can only compete between Svein and Kiris.

Whether it is Svein or Kiris, whether they need to prepare for this competition or not, winning over the ancient aristocratic forces of St. Peter's City is naturally the homework that Svein and Kiris must do!

Augustus never considered himself to be significant in the Noxian Empire. Even with General Burnham's cultivation and attention, in the eyes of many nobles, Augustus was just a young talent with considerable potential!

The next Darius will never be as important as the current Darius! That in itself is an irrefutable thing! Augustus did not intend to overturn this fact! Regarding the olive branch suddenly thrown by Princess Kiris, Augustus did not immediately choose to accept it, but asked solemnly.

No one wanted to put themselves in danger of not having any interest, and not only did many of the old nobles know this, but even a slave of the lowest status in Valoran.

"Brave knight Augustus, have you forgotten you, Sir Fransted? Remember he once told you that it is enough for nobles to talk about the ups and downs between nobles, and if a nobleman talks to you about politics, it means that you are already very dangerous! Chillis flashed an innocent smile at Augustus, which reminded Augustus of the poppies of the Earth in his previous life, bright and dazzling, but containing some kind of deadly toxin.

"Danger means profit? General Burnham is running out of time for me, Augustus, you should know that! There was no more hypocrisy between nobles, and Kiris tore away the last layer of camouflage between the two, and the words entered the substance.

This is not a commendable lie, and Augustus knows no more than this sentence from the mouth of Celis is an out-and-out truth without any aristocratic perfunctory. General Burnham, the giant who has dominated the Valoran continent for more than half a century and has dominated the Valoran continent for more than half a century, will not escape the baptism of time after all, and will eventually leave the Valoran continent and return to the embrace of the gods.

————

The lord of Alder City, Ergat, has rushed to St. Peter's City and met with Svein! There are many city lords in the Noxus Empire, and Alder City can be regarded as a pivotal city, although the city lord of Alder City only has a small earl title, but his status in Noxus can be regarded as transcendent.

The presence of Urgart in St. Peter's at this moment should be clear to even the most stupid nobles. General Burnham is about to die, and the power of the Noxian Empire can only fall into the hands of two people, and Urgat's teacher Svein is naturally one of them.

Urgat's trip had no intention of hiding his whereabouts, and he swaggered into St. Peter's City. Looking at St. Peter's after a long absence, Urgat got down from the unicorn and kissed the ground of St. Peter's in front of the city gate, and then whispered: "St. Peter's City, I am back!" ”

The guards who had been waiting in front of the gates of St. Peter's City immediately greeted them and took Urgat, whose hands were clearly marked, to Svein Castle to meet Svein.

The servant led Urgart, who could not contain his emotions and had begun to be excited, to the castle, and arrived at the study, which was not ornate, but exuded an indescribable solemnity.

A golden cane leaned on a wooden chair made of alder, and an old man who was not very burly, but exuded an indescribable majesty to Urgat, sat in the chair, flipping through a copy of the Noxian Codex that many Noxian nobles would never want to touch.

This code of laws, which restricts the rights of the Noxian nobility, is a never-ending nightmare for the Noxian nobility.

Poof, looking at the old man in front of him, Urgart could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, and knelt directly to the ground, the face that was only hideous and sharp in the eyes of ordinary people revealed a pious temperament that was difficult to reveal even in the church, and a deep voice sounded in the study: "Teacher, long time no see!" ”

The old man slowly took off the eyes made of extremely precious tortoiseshell, revealing a pair of wise and deep eyes, he calmly looked at the emotional Urgart at his feet, frowned slightly, and said: "Urgat, please remember, I don't invite you back to St. Peter's City to make you bow to me!" ”

Ergart nodded hurriedly, and then stood in front of the old man honestly with his head bowed respectfully, looking at the old man who now controlled the decisive and practical power of Noxus, Ergart's heart was both awe and excitement.

No one can have the same hope as he does for the throne of Noxus on the old man's throne, which symbolizes Noxus's scepter! Not even Archbishop Raphael.

"For those in power, a small step forward requires an unimaginable price for ordinary people! Svein, I don't know what the price you will have to pay for taking a small step forward, but Urgat is willing to be the first to bear it for you! In Urgart's eyes, Svein should have been the greatest existence in the Noxian Empire except for General Burnham! Ergart lowered his head and spoke in a very deep voice.

Svein did not respond to what could be regarded as a sign of loyalty to Ergart. It is far more difficult to kill a person in Svein's eyes than to trust a person. Although the Urgart in front of him is his student, how many people can maintain the purity of their hearts in the face of interests?

Svein held his cane, slowly stood up, walked to the study, squinted in the direction of St. Peter's Castle, and muttered: "Only where you live can you be considered a real big man in the Noxian Empire!" Teacher, you stupid student is running out of patience! ”

Since the death of Nicocage the Great, there has been only one big man in Noxus for half a century, and that is General Burnham Darkwell, who lives in St. Peter's Castle! (To be continued.) )
