Fifth, the Inquisition Chapter

Who is the Saudis? Ask different people different answers.

If the person who asked was Carlos, who liked to carry an oversized iron pot, then Carlos would definitely change her usual arrogance and rudeness and respond with a little girlish and shy: Saudi Arabia is an honest, kind and brave hunter. This Caros, who maintains a condescending disdain for any male animal except Augustus, has an extraordinary affection for the person Saudi, otherwise she would not treat Augustus, who is not related to her, as her own biological son after the early death of Saudi Arabia, although it is not considerate, but it is wholehearted.

For example, this time in Stiroland Square, Carros, who is usually the most afraid of the powerful, shouted in the highest voice, "Augustus is a man born to be a general, how could he not come?" This was a word that shook everyone in the whole Stiroland Square.

If you ask Augustus, then Augustus will definitely be very hesitant, and basically will not say the answer in his heart. In Augustus's eyes, his father Saudi Arabia was a very unpretentious but mysterious person, at least in Augustus's eyes, this silent man should have a very wonderful story. As for what the story was, Augustus was not uncurious, but under the full tacit understanding between the two, he did not ask his father about the things he was curious about, just as his adoptive father Saudi Arabia did not explore the secret in his heart.

On the way home, Augustus supported Aunt Carlos, who was still in front of thousands of people in Stirolan Square just now, and said the words that made him the focus of attention.

Caros has never been a person with too many brains, and she has always been a little faster than she can use her brains, so at the end of the assembly in Stiroland Square, she also expressed concern to Augustus, who was her own son, and asked Aunt Carlos bluntly if she was causing you trouble?

Augustus shook his head with a kind smile and praised: "What's the trouble here, Aunt Carros, haven't you seen the honorable Lord Whitecoat very much for me?" Immediately Augustus cited several more arguments in quick succession. Finally convinced the simple-minded Aunt Carlos.

Troublesome? It's not just a problem, it's a terrible thing. Augustus, who returned home and lay on the chuang, looked tired, and had a gloomy look that no one had ever seen, very much like the eyes of a politician.

Augustus didn't think about how he would be treated as a thorn in the flesh by others tomorrow, but thought about something that had nothing to do with tomorrow's recruit conference: why did the two big men of Alder City pay so much attention to him, a lowly commoner? Augustus's mind flashed the figure of his adoptive father, Saud, who had been dead for seven years, but it was only a flash.

After all, there was no basis for judgment, and Augustus, who couldn't figure out the source of the matter, laughed at himself: "Maybe this is the price of a year of cultivation." When he said this, Augustus was unusually calm.

When Saudi Arabia was alive, this silent man told others, especially Carlos, more than once that Augustus would definitely have a future in the future! Even if most people believe it, Saudi Arabia believes it. So much so that Carlos, who admires this wooden man, is also convinced!

So far, Augustus has not proved Saudi Arabia's words, but in the eyes of others, he deservedly took the title of the first hunter of Alder City, which originally fell on Saudi Arabia! Become the first hunter of the new generation.

But what is the hunter's interest? Therefore, Augustus, who did not receive special attention from the lord of Urgart, was never favored. However, because of Augustus's heroic deeds on the Alder Mountain day after day, few people would joke about the sworn words of Saudi Arabia in front of him.

Holding his head in his hands and looking up at the rough gray ceiling, Augustus couldn't help but think of the most famous mantra that he had said to people in Saudi Arabia for many years, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook a faint smile, Augustus sighed softly, and then let out a long sigh of relief, and muttered: "Father, until now I finally understood." There are some things that are difficult and even seem unattainable, and if I do them and take action, they may not reach the point where you want to stand on the altar, but at least they will be looked up to by the world. Hehe, it seems impossible to be in the company of the gods! ”

What a terrible ambition! At this time, anyone would be terrified to hear Augustus's words! To be in the company of the gods is not blasphemy. If this is known to the ubiquitous night watchmen in the Empire, they will definitely be invited to the Inquisition for tea!

Inquisition. An institution under the Holy See, which is in charge of the establishment of heretics, traitors, and dark creatures. For hundreds of years, few people who walked into the Inquisition appeared in front of the world in an intact, bright and dazzling manner. Therefore, whether in the eyes of commoners or elegant aristocrats with high power and noble status. The Inquisition is definitely a name that no one wants to mention, and the three dark giants of the Inquisition are privately called the Pope in Black by many nobles, and are regarded by the Holy See as an obscure and majestic figure who can sit on an equal footing with the Supreme Pope.

The latter holds the faith, the former the scepter of killing!

The former is feared and feared by the world, and the latter is worshiped by the world.

――――

Aristocrats, commoners, slaves, whether it is Noxus or the rest of Valoran, all strictly follow this hierarchy! More than 200 years ago, when slaves were not included in the formal legal text, slaves were slaughtered at will like animals, and if it were not for the great Battle of Cullilian in the history of Valoran two hundred years ago, slaves played an amazing role in the Battle of the Four Kings and received the attention of Grix, who compiled the law, otherwise slaves could still be slaughtered at will without paying any legal punishment.

Even killing a slave now is only a matter of a few Bourbon coins, and some even require only some copper.

Slaves, commoners, nobles!

There is a huge gulf between each of these three classes, and there is a very old saying in Valoran: it takes at least thirty or forty years for a slave to become a commoner, and it takes four to five generations for a lowly commoner to cross the threshold of nobility, even if he is lucky. Because of this sentence, there is a common saying in the aristocratic world: even if you are lucky enough to get rich on an equal footing with the nobility, you can also see the essence of your nobility.

On the Valoran continent, the nobility is a high-ranking existence, and the Noxian Empire itself is an empire of the jungle. This is an era of survival of the fittest, and the strong are kings. How could a lowly and ordinary commoner have the ambition to stand on the altar without going through the vicissitudes of life? Anyone who hears this would be inconceivable and think it is a joke, but it is not a joke, at least Augustus is really thinking about this seemingly impossible thing at this very moment......

If Augustus was an ordinary commoner born and raised in Noxus, under the cruel reality and the oppression of powerful nobles, I am afraid that the slightest thought of rebellion against the aristocratic class in his heart is already very valuable, how can he give birth to huge ambitions that even many nobles are difficult to have?

Augustus was naturally not an ordinary commoner of the Noxian Empire. Since he was a child, he knew that Saudi Arabia had a secret that no one knew, and Saudi Arabia also knew that Augustus also had a secret hidden in his heart, but the father and son had a very tacit understanding and did not ask each other.

Saudi Arabia could never have imagined that even the Pope, who is revered as omniscient and all-powerful by the vast number of devout believers, would be absolutely shocked and even shocked when he learned the secret of Augustus - Augustus was not from this world.

To put it simply, when Augustus was adopted by Saudi Arabia. Augustus, who was still an infant, had the soul of an adult, and the soul and memory of this adult did not belong to the world of Valoran, but to the world of the earth.

It is precisely because of this special point that the "butterfly effect" was set off, so that Augustus was fearless of the Holy See, the imperial power, and the gods who stood above the Holy See and the imperial power that everyone on the Valoran continent feared, and the only thing that Augustus felt in awe was only the outrageously powerful power and power.

This is also the reason why Augustus, who was born as a commoner, dared to have the terrifying ambition to stand on the altar and worship the world.

――――

Turning over, Augustus, who had been thinking for a long time and couldn't get an answer, sat up.

After Saud's death, the stone-made house was rarely visited. Except that Aunt Carlos cleans the room every few days. But even so, Augustus, who had the common advantage of a hunter "not wasting a minute of sleeping", was in a very messy room. All sorts of beast skins were piled up in the corners, and the beds were filled with a change of clothes, and the only thing that didn't give people a messy feeling in the whole room was the walls covered with all kinds of bows and arrows.

No one can deny that Augustus was a skilled archer. Many of the old hunters who went up to hunt with Augustus were impressed by Augustus's extraordinary, almost perverted bow and arrow skills, and his timing.

As the well-known number one hunter in the city, Augustus would be invited by some minor nobles to the hunting grounds from time to time to perform bow and arrow skills, and Augustus's unique bow and arrow skills could easily meet these invitations.

Although the aristocracy is hypocritical and elegant and even ruthless, it is not loved and provoked when the interests are not loved. They didn't mind showing their gentlemanly demeanor properly in front of commoners and ladies, so Augustus, who had won many battles in the hunting grounds, was inevitably favored by the nobles to give them expensive bows that ordinary hunters didn't need.

Over the past few years, Augustus has accumulated a lot of strong bows in his hands, and he has hung them on the wall of the room. But none of the fiery bows in this room were worthy of Augustus's heart, and the most unpretentious-looking, but most powerful hunting bow hung in the most conspicuous position in the doorway.

This is not Augustus' hunting bow. It is the fierce bow of Saudi Arabia, the first hunter in Alder City. The taciturn Saud did not show any sadness for Augustus before he died, and the man, who died early at the age of less than fifty-five due to his physical injuries, said only one word to Augustus when he was dying: Augustus, I hope you can take up that bow.

Augustus looked at his adoptive father, and he keenly noticed that when his adoptive father's eyes saw the fierce bow hanging on the wall, his eyes actually shone with a stunning light, and at that moment Augustus felt that his adoptive father, who had always been very strong, showed a trace of majestic temperament.

Since the death of Saudi Arabia, although Augustus has been hunting on Alder Mountain all year round, and even had the glorious experience of sleeping on Alder Mountain for half a month, you must know that Alder Mountain is infested with wild beasts, and it is even said that there is a blood-toothed black panther on Alder Mountain that can tear apart a third-level knight with one claw.

Augustus, who had changed countless fiery bows, had never picked up the bow that his adoptive father had used in front of him, not that the bow was bad, but in fact it was the most fierce and domineering bow of all the fiery bows that Augustus had ever seen. The reason Augustus didn't even use that bow was because he didn't think he was qualified to use it.

He knew very well that his father wanted him to stand above all living beings, but he chose to remain silent. Now that Augustus, after a series of dramatic events, stood in front of the hunting bow, he decided not to be silent any longer.

Augustus reached out and grasped the fierce bow that he touched every day but never used, picked up a bow and arrow, bent the bow and arrow, and pulled the hunting bow, which required at least seventy or eighty pounds of strength to pull out, into a terrifying full circle.

"Peng!"

With an explosive sound, the bow and arrow had been shot under the big tree outside the window in the blink of an eye, and half of the arrow was embedded in the tree.

Augustus looked out the window, his adoptive father's grim and wooden face in front of him, and muttered, "Father, I can answer your question now: the entire Valoran continent can be subjugated to me as long as I want." ”

At this time, an irrepressible thought surged in Augustus's heart. Holding this bow, Augustus was confident that even if the gods above the Nine Heavens were to oppose him, he would be able to slay them down from the mortals. (To be continued.) )
