Chapter 44: The Genius and the Madman

What is the concept of 500 Caesars? For families such as Du Kekao, Darkwell, Constantine, Rotonchild, and Bacon, who stood at the top of the Noxus Empire, five hundred Caesars were just a slightly luxurious lunch.

The mage is always the most obscure but at the same time the most expensive profession, and it costs at least nearly 3,000 Caesars a year to become a magic apprentice, compared to the high cost of knights, which cost at least 300 Caesar gold coins per year.

And the cost of cultivating a high-level magician is at least 100,000. But the great magician in front of him only needed five hundred Caesar gold coins, and if this matter was heard by some stubborn elders of the Magic Guild, he would definitely tremble with anger. The first auction of the Finn Slave Exchange was suddenly plunged into a strange atmosphere.

"Master Augustus, are magicians so cheap in your Noxian Empire?" In the eyes of Lux, who doesn't have much concept of gold coins, five hundred Caesar gold coins are really nothing, and five hundred Caesar gold coins can't even make a magician with low strength and only primary strength stop and stop exploring the magic world, not to mention that the magician in front of him has already made many magicians look up to the realm - the great magician realm, a magician who can ascend to the realm of the magic sage in just one step?

Five hundred Caesar gold, a great magician, even if he has a little naivety, should never be equated in the eyes of Lux.

Augustus glanced at the auction hall that had been silent so far, a sneer on the corner of his mouth, looked at Lux, and said to the important person who belonged to the hostile force on his side in a tone as gentle as possible: "Dear Miss Lux, you seem to have forgotten that when the auctioneer of the Finn Slave Exchange introduced this slave, he said that the strength of this magician with the strength of a terrifyingly powerful great magician has been sealed by a magician who is even stronger than him, a magician who has no strength. What qualifications do they have to be favored by the aristocratic and wealthy people who are based on profits? ”

Lux said nonchalantly: "Young Master Augustus, have you forgotten one thing, the greatest value of a magician is not just how powerful the creature or magic can be summoned by this magician, but that this magician has in his mind the treasures that he has explored day after day in the wizarding world, which is the greatest wealth of a magician!" ”

Augustus smiled slightly, and he nodded. It is not denied that Lux thinks this way, in fact, except for the magicians who serve the empire and study at the Royal Academy of Magic, there is no reason for that magician to show his strength on the battlefield, they are always walking calmly and solitudely on the road of exploring the wizarding world, and nothing in the world can shake their minds.

In the words of LeBlanc, who has stood at the pinnacle of the wizarding world and is worthy of being the queen of the wizarding world, he said: A true magician will always be accompanied by loneliness and dance, and other than that, he is an outlier who does not conform to the identity of a magician.

"It's still simpler-minded!" Augustus glanced at Lux. Ignoring the temper that was about to erupt from this young lady who was born into one of the most noble families in Demacia, Augustus said slowly in a calm tone: "A qualified nobleman will always understand one thing: when he gets benefits, he will consider whether he will be hurt by the interests in his hands at the same time as he obtains benefits, if the benefits obtained are greater than the threats, then it will not cause the nobles to hesitate, if the benefits obtained are less than the degree of threats, No wise nobleman would touch the interests that would set him on fire at any moment! ”

Augustus glanced at the surrounding boxes and the silent crowd sitting in the hall with very calm eyes, and said coldly, "Miss Lux." Which is more important in your eyes than a servant of a great mage and an enemy who gets a sage of magic or a mage of the Holy Dome? ”

This is an absolute choice question. In the case of irrelevance to emotion, I am afraid that no one will choose to be an enemy of a magic sage or a holy dome magician because of a great magician, human society is a society where the strong are respected and the weak eat the strong, even if human beings decorate the society beautifully, but it is impossible to change this ironclad fact.

Lux never underestimated Augustus. This civilian, who is now just an ordinary knight of the Noxian Empire. In fact, in Lux's eyes, except for the elder brother Galen, who was about to take control of the Dreadnought Legion of the First Legion of the Demacian Empire, there was no one in this world more terrifying than Augustus.

But now Lux seems to understand that Augustus, who has never been underestimated before, is even more terrifying than he imagined.

"Maybe when this guy takes control of the real power of Noxus, it will become one of the most terrifying threats to our Demacian Empire!" A thought popped into Lux's mind, and in an instant Lux's idea came to get rid of Augustus immediately. But then the idea was extinguished by Lux.

Get rid of Augustus? Hehe, there are a lot of people who want to get rid of Augustus, but isn't this hateful and cunning guy still alive? ? Lux was a little helpless, this seemingly ordinary guy always had a thousand unpredictable ways to escape death in a desperate situation.

The auctioneer was a little helpless, looking at the great magician in obscure clothes beside him, according to his thoughts, such a great magician should not be worth only five hundred Caesar gold coins anyway, even five thousand Caesar gold coins are not consistent with the identity of the great magician, but what can he do? This is a price set by the boss of the Finn Exchange himself, and he can only follow it as a subordinate.

The empty hall was still silent, the middle-aged auctioneer in a white robe and a smile on his face was almost unable to laugh, and after a quarter of an hour of five hundred Caesar gold coins, none of the guests went to the price?

"I'll give you five hundred Caesar coins!" When the middle-aged auctioneer thought that it was not good for the master to prepare for the next auction item, a warm and elegant voice sounded at the auction.

For the first time, the middle-aged auctioneer Kaide understood that this sound did not come out of his mouth naturally, but was finally transmitted to the auction hall through the magic amplifier equipment in the room.

Five hundred Caesar gold coins are a matter of a few meals for their group of nobles! With a very polite smile on his face, Cade sighed to himself, the aristocracy is worthy of being a creature of the upper class.

In fact? In a well-decorated glass room, a girl wearing a white fringed dress that was very popular among aristocratic ladies, with a sweet appearance and an innocent temperament, stared at the young man sitting on the long sofa leisurely pouring red wine, and said, "Young Master Augustus, do you want to be an enemy of a magical sage or a magician standing at the pinnacle of the magical world? ”

The young man took a sip of red wine very elegantly and said meaningfully, "Miss Lux, who was born into the Glory Family of Demacia, can never imagine the greed of a madman with such a deformed possessiveness for power in the face of power! Maybe in the future I have an opponent of the strength of a magic sage or a mage of the Holy Dome, but at least now I have a noble great mage servant, don't I? ”

Lux looked at Augustus very speechlessly, and the original flattering words were too lazy to use at this moment, and said directly: "Augustus, you are really an out-and-out madman!" ”

Augustus stood up, made a very elegant aristocratic salute to the girl in front of him, and said softly: "Thank you for the praise of the beautiful and noble Miss Lux! Augustus squinted at the group of nobles and wealthy people who were full of astonishment outside the glass window, and a contemptuous smile curled into the corners of his mouth, and he muttered in a voice that he could hear: "A good nobleman needs to know how to judge the balance between opportunity and threat!" A great nobleman should know how to choose between opportunities and threats, and get a chance to climb to the sky! Perhaps consumed by the flames of darkness, or eternal under the witness of light! Isn't this the fate of the aristocracy? ”

Standing on the high platform, which is equivalent to a piece of goods being sold for a price, the great magician heard the gentle and elegant voice, but he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and lifted the already slightly worn eye frames, so unelegant, and even very rudely scratched the black hair with his hands that was like a lion's teeth and claws, stroked the beard that stood like a hedgehog, and muttered: "I really don't know that the bold guy dared to offend the great Holy Dome Magician and raise a waste magician!" ”

Augustus sat on the soft couch, and as Augustus had replied to Lux, no one dared to bid again! There are a lot of crazy people in this world, but most of them are normal people, few people dare to risk offending the magicians of the Magic Sage realm to buy a waste, and few people can imagine that the person who dares to offend the magic sage or even the Holy Dome mage is actually a madman, not a strong man who has the capital to solve the problem!

Because the vast majority of people are not crazy, they can only think about things in the way of normal people, and the conclusions they draw are often contrary to the truth! This is the answer that Augustus came up with: no one dared to bid again!

"There are risks and opportunities, sloppy archmagician, will you bring me risks or opportunities?" Augustus squinted at the magician who stood on the high platform even though he was stared at by thousands of eyes, and muttered to himself.

On one side, Lux had already been completely speechless to Augustus, who was more elegant than a real nobleman and mader than a real madman, and a sentence from the ancestors of the family rang in Lux's mind: "There are only two kinds of true pioneers, one is so clever that it is out of step with the world, and the other is so crazy that it wants the world to dance with his footsteps, my sons and grandsons, remember, when you meet these two kinds of people, do not despise them in any case, because these two kinds of people are the easiest to be remembered by history, A great man who will go down in history! ”

The glory of a family often requires several generations of hard work, and the rise of a family is often only due to the existence of one person, who may be a genius or a madman!

Only geniuses and madmen dare to do things that are unreasonable!

Gambling is always one of the easiest ways to rise! And people who feel gambling are not geniuses and madmen? (To be continued.) )
