Chapter 45: The Apprentice Magician

The auction continued, and the next few lots returned to their normal state, a high-ranking magician, a high-ranking knight, a shadow assassin, and a bounty hunter, which became the focus of contention among the nobles. Lux finally reached the atmosphere of the nobles of St. Peter's City in the Noxus Empire. In St. Peter's city, the young heir of the Taklama family, Fairmeth, paid 100,000 Caesar gold coins for a high-ranking knight.

For Lux's slightly surprised eyes, Augustus said lightly: "Maybe that high-ranking knight is not worth 100,000 Caesars gold coins, but for a nobleman in St. Peter's City, the high amount of money in the auction hall can not only get them the auction items, but also get the memories of some big nobles, which is really nothing for some emerging nobles who have been seeking how to get in touch with the ancient noble families all their lives." ”

"Augustus, can you remain so cold-blooded and indifferent to everything?" Rather than the unreasonable actions of the nobles in the auction hall in her eyes, Lux was more curious about the calm and indifference of the Noxian knight in front of her.

Augustus smiled slightly, and replied to Lux very briefly: "The most basic thing for a Noxian soldier is to ensure correct thinking and cool head at all times, only in this way can he survive no matter how tragic the war is!" Miss Lux, have you forgotten that I am a veteran who has survived three years of jihad! ”

How could Lux forget that the three years of holy war, especially the battle in Sark City, were simply the biggest failure in the life of the glorious Lux, and the reason was because of the bastard Noxian Knight in front of him, who talked and laughed elegantly and had the temperament of a bullshit aristocracy.

"Allow me to tell us a little bit about this lot. This is a very beautiful woman! The high platform slowly rose, and under the introduction of the auctioneer, a young woman in a white dress appeared on the high platform.

The appearance of a woman immediately filled the auction hall with a strong hormonal atmosphere, this is indeed a stunning beauty that any man wants to have when he sees it, beautiful, cold and noble, and elegant in temperament!

――――――

St. Peter's Castle, Burnham with a cane. Walking on the green grass in front of the castle, Chillis on one side silently followed General Burnham, one of the greatest leaders in Noxus history, with calm eyes.

This leader, who is eternally young in the eyes of the people of Valoran, who is eternally young, eternally young, and always looks only about fifty years old, looks incomparable at this moment, with a wrinkled old face, and anyone who looks at least thinks that Burnham in front of him is already seventy years old.

Burnham, who doesn't have much lifespan, enjoyed the sunshine of every day, glanced at the respectful Kiris beside him, sighed softly, and said, "Her Royal Highness Princess Kiris." Augustus, that little guy is very nice! ”

Qilisi was slightly stunned, she looked up at Burnham who suddenly said this very strangely, if it weren't for Burnham's only a few dozen days of life, Qilisi even because this was the conspiracy plan of the old man in front of her, who was as wise as the sea.

After a pause, Chillis replied softly, "It is indeed an unpleasant thing to witness the rise of a hero, but Uncle Burnham, this is also something I would like to see, since Augustus has the ability to conquer Ferreljord. Then I will give him Ferreljord as a fief! ”

Burnham nodded, not surprised by anything. In fact, if Kiris doesn't even have the courage at all. Burnham would never give the crown of the Noxian Empire to this woman, even with the most noble royal blood of the Noxian Empire.

Even now, in Burnham's eyes, Augustus is just a young man with full potential, but in Burnham's eyes, he is not enough, and he attaches great importance to it now. There were not many people in Burnham's eyes who could be taken seriously, and most of them had returned to God's arms.

At the end of the day, Burnham lay down in the chair that Kiris had prepared for him, squinted at the scorching sun in the sky, and whispered, "Those old things of the Darkwell family seem to have forgotten the lessons of decades ago. Future Queen Kiris, I don't mind you making this ancient family famous among the five great families of the Noxian Empire. ”

Qilisi smiled humbly, her eyes were full of very confident and cold-blooded arrogance, and said: "There is only one crown in the Noxian Empire, and there can only be one person in power!" Anyone who dares to touch the crown of the Noxian Empire, I don't mind teaching them a profound lesson. ”

"Good. But let's wait until I'm dead! The battle you directed has not yet entered a white-hot state, many old guys have not surfaced, and the Constantine family, the most mysterious and intelligent family of the five major families of the Noxus Empire, has been maintaining this wait-and-see attitude, which is a matter that cannot be ignored! ”

Qilisi nodded, no country in the Valoran Continent dared to ignore the Constantine family, and this family once played with the entire Valoran Continent simply by means of politicians. The Constantine family will always belong to that type in the eyes of the upper nobles of the Valoran continent.

"The Constantine, the Darkwells, the Rotonchilds, the Ducocao, the Bacon! In addition to the five major families of Noxus, the Rotonchild family, who have sworn allegiance, and the Duquecao family, who are indifferent to politics, the other three families are one of the important forces that affect the imperial power of the Noxian Empire! Her Royal Highness Princess Kiris, although you have obtained the allegiance of the patriarch of the Rothonchild family, the choices of the Constantine family, the Darkwell family, and the Bacon family can easily change the imperial power and get the change! Burnham said calmly.

He has been dealing with the five major families all his life, and his understanding of the five major families is much stronger than that of Qilisi, a little hairy child who has only been in contact with politics for a long time. Although Kiris is smart, she is not wise, wisdom needs time baptism, and wisdom does not.

In Burnham's eyes, Kiris is the most suitable person to succeed in the promise of the royal power of the Xan Empire, while Svein is not suitable! Svein can lead Noxus to stability, but Kiris may lead the Noxian Empire to unite the continent of Valoran.

Dominating the Valoran continent has always been the dream of the leaders of the Noxian Empire, and it is also the dream of Burnham Darkwell! Therefore, Burnham chose the heir to be Princess Kiris, not Svein, a proud disciple of the old face of political affairs.

Svein understood this, so he cooperated with his teacher, General Burnham, to perform the play. There are too many forces that affect the Noxian imperial power, but the Noxian imperial power is supreme and will never allow the existence of so many forces!

This is the most acute contradiction of the Noxian Empire, and the only way to resolve this contradiction is to eliminate this antagonism.

――――

Lux looked at Augustus with playful eyes and smiled softly, "Augustus, which beautiful woman do you seem to like very much?" "Lux is a very beautiful woman in her own right, and it is very difficult to get a woman's words of compliment from a beautiful woman.

But Lax had to say that the woman standing on the auction platform was very beautiful, a woman who could arouse the desire of any man to conquer. If the woman on the platform was not just a trainee magician, but a powerful sage of magic, I am afraid that the group of spectators in the auction hall would definitely not look at this woman with profane eyes, but with profanity or awe.

Lux was a little puzzled, the Augustus in front of him definitely belonged to the kind of man who was very rational and indifferent to everything. Lux believed that even if a peerless beauty stripped naked and placed in front of Augustus, Augustus would check with a very outrageous calmness whether there was a conspiracy for this woman's sudden appearance, and if not, he would carry out the follow-up, and yes, this Noxian soldier, who has always been indifferent and resolute about everything, would definitely pinch the woman's neck without any emotion!

This is Augustus, Augustus in Lux's eyes!

But Augustus, who had mixed emotions in his eyes, obviously did not meet this point.

Suddenly there was a nameless irritation.

Augustus calmly withdrew his gaze, looked at the girl in front of him who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and was already very well developed, and said softly: "Beautiful Miss Lux, are you jealous?" I have to admit that the magical girl standing on the high platform is really a very beautiful woman! ”

Lux glared at Augustus fiercely, turned her head and looked through the glass at the magical girl on the high platform who was still calm and calm under the scorching gaze of thousands of people, and was almost the same kind of person as Augustus in front of her, and looked at him carefully, showed a sarcastic smile at Augustus, and said: "Augustus, I remember that you have spent all the only five hundred Caesar gold coins in order to buy that great magician?" Now what capital do you have to buy this magician girl that everyone in the aristocratic world wants? ”

Augustus didn't answer, he slowly stood up, looked at the white-robed magician with a graceful and cold temperament, and said, "No matter how beautiful a trainee magician is, the price is only a few dozen Caesar gold coins, and it is nothing at all!" But Miss Lux, no one would want to snatch this young magician from me today, for she can only be my slave to Augustus! ”

Immediately, Augustus pushed open the door and walked out.

Lux stood in the room in a daze, looking at Augustus who was walking towards the auction hall, she was very puzzled in her mind: "What is the secret of this girl that makes Augustus, who has always been calm and rational, show such a crazy side??" (To be continued.) )
