Chapter 30: Alternative Cultivation

After about an hour of talking, Augustus walked out of the castle with the task of writing a biography of General Burnham. To be honest, Augustus did not know the implicit meaning of Burnham's words and acts, but he carried it out honestly and did not ask for answers.

After leaving St. Peter's Castle, Augustus did not go to see Kiris again, and Kiris did not take the initiative to meet him, and they maintained a very deep tacit understanding.

Augustus, like Octavian, Rommel, Patton, and others, was just a group of young men with potential, who could hardly be said to have any role in today's magnificent and intriguing struggle for imperial power. Augustus was fine, after all, he had a knightly order in his hands, and his ideas were very much in line with the model of the aristocracy, but Octavian, Rommel, Patton, and Augustus were all brilliant young men of the same generation, most of them were pure soldiers, which may win the approval of the second knight of the empire, Darius, but it would never gain anything in the political struggle, in other words, it would have no effect.

Every family values potential talents, but it is also very paradoxically not valued. Leaving aside the troublesome political battles, Augustus decided to settle down and write a book called "A Biography of Burnham" at the Pershan estate.

As he held the quill in his hand, Augustus couldn't help but wonder: General Burnham, when I accepted this task, did it mean that I had only two choices: Kiris and Svein?

Burnham's prestige in Noxus is not weak, but his prestige in aristocratic society is almost always reverence over reverence. Few nobles were willing to stand behind Burnham, and many families came out to covet the throne when Burnham was seriously ill.

In fact, they may have forgotten that the throne of Noxus belonged only to the Stuart family, who had noble royal blood, and not to the other families. But they just remembered that Burnham had held power in the Noxian Empire for half a century, and although he did not claim to be the Emperor of Noxus, this was enough for others to think that Burnham was capable of. Someone better than Burnham is eager to try it out.

For Augustus to write a biography of General Burnham is too much of a test of wisdom and experience, experience may have some advantages for Augustus, but Augustus is only fifty years old in his past and present lives, how can he be compared with those gray-haired historians who study history?

Therefore, Augustus ordered Huo Nan, who was articulate and aristocratic, to help him borrow books from the royal library, no, Huo Nan took two people, each holding a stack of books that could be level with his head, into Augustus's humble study.

Instructed the other two to put the book on a very simple and tidy desk, Huo Nan also said while putting the book on the desk: Here are the biographical records of the four empires of Noxus, Demacia, Ionia and the Zuan Dynasty about the important ministers of the imperial family. There may be one of these that you need, is there anything else you would like to say?

Augustus waved his hand and ordered the three of them to go down, and then began to flip through a book about the Ionian Empire very quickly.

The history of the creation of Ionia, even Noxus and Demacia, the two empires that can be regarded as the oldest empires in the Valoran continent, are not comparable, and the person who founded the Ionian Empire is also very legendary, he is not a man like the founder of other empires, but a very legendary woman.

Originally, Augustus didn't know about this matter, but he recently studied the history of Ionia in order to write a biography of General Burnham and got the answer!

Ionia, the oldest country on the road! Ionia. A legendary woman, this ancient country is named after this legendary woman.

Unfortunately, Ionia did not leave any heirs, nor did he leave a word to indicate that the Imperial Genius or his relatives could become the new leader of the Ionian Empire. Rather, it was simply said: whoever can actively promise to protect Ionia and who has the ability to protect it can become the new leader of the Ionian Empire.

This is just a very simple sentence, but after the death of Ionia, it is very rare that the Ionian Empire did not have a vacant throne due to the death of Ionia, so there was chaos, and the throne of the Ionian Empire was vacant for a long time. Only then did a nobleman about fifty-two or thirteen years old stand out and become the emperor of the Ionian Empire without any dispute, and this is the founder of the famous Normandy dynasty of Ionia: Edward I.

raised his head and glanced at Huo Nan, who was still standing in place. Augustus put down the book on the establishment and fall of the Normandy dynasty, looked at Huo Nan with a smile, and asked, "Huo Nan, I see doubts in your eyes?" Say, I don't want my most trusted men to do things for me with a skeptical and hesitant look! ”

This is the tone of Young Master Augustus's behavior!

During the three days of pause in St. Peter's City, Huo Nan even had some suspicions that Augustus in front of him might have been subjected to soul transfer by the evil black magician, and all quiet behaviors were too inconsistent with the Augustus style he knew.

Without hesitation, Huo Nan spoke: "Young Master Augustus, I don't think the most important thing you need is to stay here and write a biography of a powerful person who is about to leave this world. ”

"But what should I do? To claim the leadership of Ferreljord, or to join the race for royal power between Kiris or Svein or Darkwell or Bacon? Augustus asked the subordinate in front of him with a smile.

Huo Nan stood straight and calmly in place, and did not give an answer.

Augustus picked up the book that recorded part of the history of Ionia on the table, smiled and said: "Actually, I had the same idea as you before I left St. Peter's Castle, the purpose of my visit to St. Peter's City this time was only to seize the territorial rights of Ferreljord, and my thoughts have not changed in the last few days, and it is still the same. ”

"But I understood one thing! Perhaps this is what Burnham gave me, intentionally or unintentionally! ”

"What's the matter?" Huo Nan looked at Augustus curiously and asked. At this moment, Augustus was more solemn than usual, which made Huo Nan very puzzled.

"I think I would be an honest fool in front of the big guys, and I can count on a biography of Burnham, but in studying the materials that these biographies should study, I have learned one thing: a good politician can make his opponent take two more steps in a certain position, and he will never let his opponent go just one step more, this sentence is the words of one of your Ionian politicians in Normandy, but I have received a message in it: a man is successful not because he is favored by the gods, It's because he has overcome obstacles set up for him by his opponents, so he succeeds! ”

"It's my purpose to ask General Burnham for Ferreljord's territorial rights, but few people want a new nobleman to rise in the aristocratic world, so this matter is destined to be full of ups and downs."

Huo Nan was silent for a long time, still very puzzled, and asked, "Young Master Augustus, I don't understand what you mean?" Didn't General Burnham think that now was the time to fulfill his original promise? Or is it because General Burnham simply repented! ”

Suddenly, Huo Nan felt a very fierce aura from Augustus, and it came directly towards him, Augustus's eyes were full of domineering, "Repentance? Huo Nan, you really think too highly of me, and Burnham, the old nobleman who is least like the aristocracy, may have an aristocratic and cunning temperament, but it definitely can't be me. ”

Huo Nan originally wanted to continue to ask, but when he saw Augustus's compelling eyes, he gave up the plan to ask immediately, and secretly thought in his heart that maybe General Burnham was also a very important person in Augustus's eyes!

The knight who was born into the Ionian Empire may have forgotten a sentence that Augustus rarely uttered, but which Augustus valued very much: a man's success must be accompanied by looking up at the back of a strong man, but a man's greatness must first conquer a great woman.

This sentence also comes from the mouth of a conspirator in the Ionian Empire, from the mouth of Augustus, isn't the strong man in this being General Darkwell Burnham, who is about to come out??

A strong man who can make a person look up at his back is naturally one of the most important people in Augustus!

A person sat quietly in the study and read the classics of various countries brought in by Huo Nan, his eyes were clear and calm, without any ambition. This is like the look in the eyes of Hai Ge Yasu when he voluntarily gave up the struggle for the Holy See's holy papal seat in the Vatican, and had already worshiped the holy papal seat of the Holy See, and willingly went to the Papal Affairs Hall to write a book "Holy Immortal" without any ambition, clear, pure and firm.

Perhaps the only difference is that the clarity of the Hygoa is accompanied by religious beliefs, while the purity of Augustus' eyes is pure and dedicated.

The Normandy Dynasty, the earliest dynasty of the Ionian Empire, had a total of thirteen emperors, five of whom could occupy a place on the Valoran continent, of which the third emperor Edward III was the most famous in the Valoran continent.

It wasn't until Edward III that some people on the continent of Valoran knew that there was a powerful Ionian Empire in this world.

The history of the Normandy dynasty is quite thick, Augustus has seen less than a third of the thick history without any interesting to speak of, and it is already dark. Augustus left his desk and walked out of the room, breathing in the wonderful air.

Looking at the calm and peaceful Porsan Manor alone, Augustus said to himself, "Is this the final test you have given me?" General Burnham. ”

――――――

Fransde spent his life and life with Augustus to become a qualified nobleman to squeeze into the threshold of nobility, while Burnham spent a short time and two missions to Augustus on how to become a qualified ruler.

"The Biography of Burnham", perhaps by the time this book appears on the continent of Valoran, there should be a shocking leader in the midst of the Unification War. (To be continued.) )
