Chapter 16, cold and sharp

Meaning? How did Ash not understand what Augustus meant? Augustus's words had almost put everything on the surface, how could Ash not understand?

"Young Master Augustus, do you mean that now the Noxian Empire is looking at the side of the Frozen Taiyuan with you?" Ash didn't want the question to be obscure, so he asked again in the affirmative.

Augustus nodded and said, "Not bad." Princess Ash, I have fulfilled the promise I made to you that the Noxian Empire will never intervene in the unification war of Ferreljord, and even I can use my knights of the Knights of the Warrior Order to resist the ambitious barbarian tribes led by Tydamir on the plains of Koh Xili for the unification of Ferreljord. ”

"But what's the condition?" Ash directly interrupted Augustus's negotiating tone and spoke.

"Princess Ash, you know that now I am a soldier of the Noxian Empire, and I am also an imperial politician! Military men are fanatical about medals, and politicians are desperate to get into a seat at the center of imperial power. ”

"So whether you're a soldier or a politician in the Noxian Empire, you need to be in line with your interests to do the right thing? Master Augustus, can I understand you like that? Ash had a very delicate smile on her face, for Augustus, she had never held that this knight born in the Noxian Empire would pay attention to the previous one-night stand, everything should be centered on interests, this is the Augustus in her heart.

An Augustus stripped of his coat of elegance, gentlemanly demeanor, and the iron blood of a soldier.

Conversation is a skill that a clever person uses to gradually break down that layer of defense in the heart of others, and finally to say the words in the heart of the person on the other side. And the clumsy person could only say helplessness to the soul of the person opposite, who was like wearing armor, and Wang Yang sighed in his heart.

Augustus was not in a hurry to show his concept, looking at the expression and movement of the leader of the Ice Archer tribe in front of him, Augustus could not help but know that this leader was now full of wariness against himself, and any words he said in this situation could only be sneered and disdained by the other party.

Augustus didn't want to be subjected to such cold words. So now Augustus knew very well that what he had to do was to break the tribal leader's defenses.

"Princess Ash, of course you can understand it this way, because such an Augustus is the most sincere Augustus! No one wants to do anything that doesn't make any profit, not even a love idiot immersed in Cupid's arrow! But now I seem to have done something that no fool should have done, and I chose to help the Ice Shooter tribe. Ignoring the consternation on Ash's face, the corners of Augustus' mouth curled slightly, surprised, this was exactly what he needed.

"I believe that the people sent by Princess Lisandro of the ascetic tribe will soon send a lot of food and weapons, and of course, if you are willing, Princess Ash, I am willing to send my Warrior Knights to fight for you, Princess Ash!"

As Augustus expected. In the face of this surprise, the wise leader did not show joy, but looked at him with questioning eyes. With a sincere smile on his face, Augustus looked at Augustus and Ash in the eye.

After a while, Princess Ash spoke: "Ferreljord's war does not require the intervention of outsiders, so Ash has taken the place of the Ice Archer tribe and thanked Master Augustus for your kindness!" ”

Augustus chuckled and shook his head, "Princess Ash, you should understand that I just want to unify Ferreljord, not directly join Ferreljord's war, such an unprecedented scale of war will cause heavy losses to my knights of the Warrior Knights, who only have less than five hundred. ”

"Master Augustus. Don't you think your words are contradictory? ”

Augustus shook his head and said, "Contradictory? Dear Princess Ash, have you not heard of the saying that if you conquer the great woman who holds the scepter, will you not easily conquer the kingdom under the scepter? ”

"Foolish dreams!" Ash said with a simple indifference and a little disdain for the madman's remarks.

Augustus smiled and looked at Ash, who was about to leave. He said softly: "It's true that it's a bit of a fool's dream, but it's not like nothing like this hasn't happened in the strange history of the Valoran Continent, has it?" Princess Ash, the current situation of the Ice Archer Tribe is not an ordinary danger! I hope you'll consider my suggestion carefully! ”

There was a pause. Ash walked with determination again, leaving behind Augustus, who stood alone in the darkness and watched Ash's departing back.

Augustus did not show any disappointment on his face, but smiled: "What a stubborn woman! ”

————

A man crept into the Ice Archer tribe. Then a man quietly left the Ice Archer tribe, leaving behind a withered flower and a magic arrow in a beautiful box, taking nothing with him.

When he returned to the ascetic tribe, he met Lisandro, who was looking down on the vast permafrost tundra on the high mountains. When Lisandro saw Augustus, she glanced at Augustus and said lightly, "It seems that your trip has not been smooth!" ”

Augustus smiled, and sat down on a fairly smooth rock on the ground without any grace. This provoked Lisandro, who was also paying attention to her demeanor, to frown. But he didn't say anything, perhaps because Augustus had already told him that it was best not to hide his usual temperament in front of a future wife, otherwise even if he got married, he would have the same dream as Chuang.

Augustus squinted at Lisandro and said, "You have always been looking at the Ice Shooter Tribe, it seems that you have been paying attention to my actions, what, dear Princess Lisandro, have you already taken a liking to me, or are you not confident that Princess Ash, who is of the same status as you, has conquered me?" ”

Regarding Augustus's almost flirtatious words, Lisandro said lightly: "A man whose head is full of male hormones is probably only a sow will think about how to conquer!" Princess Ash is not a sow. ”

The words are sharp.

Augustus smiled slightly, and laughed it off! If he had been angry over such a trivial matter, he would have already fallen into the Holy War, and maybe even earlier, he would have fallen at the Recruit Tournament in Alder City. Where is it possible to stay here and talk well?

For the things that many people care about very much, in the eyes of Augustus, it can only be regarded as a fart, a fart that can be released at any time. And for the things that many people attach great importance to, in the eyes of Augustus, they are like inverted scales.

Don't touch it, you will kill it!

The Sixth Knight of the Empire, Gulliglan, explains Augustus's behavior very well: perhaps it is the reason why Augustus himself cares too little about what he wants, so he cares too much.

"As I expected, Voliber is now meeting the other two leaders in the permafrost tundra, he has already met Ash in the Ice Shooter tribe, I'm afraid he will go to the Sejuani tribe next, and meet the princess Sejuani who is the most famous and in line with the fighting blood of the bear tribe in the permafrost tundra!" Augustus did not continue on this topic, but quietly moved on to another topic.

Lisandro's face was not filled with joy or surprise, and she said softly, "Although the bearren seem to be honest and stupid, they are indeed a very intelligent race, and they will definitely not easily drag themselves into the mud of war, even if they hope that Ferreljord can be united. ”

Augustus nodded in unison, and smiled: "However, I believe that even if Volibel sees all the three female leaders who now dominate the future of Ferreljord, it will be absolutely difficult to make a choice, who makes the three female leaders of Ferreljord really good!" The corners of Augustus's mouth curled slightly: "Therefore, since Volibel can't make a choice, he can only join the camp of the ascetic tribe because of the intervention of the Noxian Empire!" ”

Lisan glanced at Augustus, who was full of strong confidence, and said, "You seem to be very confident in your ideas? ”

Augustus nodded and smiled, "I really can't think of any reason why I shouldn't be confident?" Did Princess Lisandro think that Volibel had any other choice? Perhaps Volibel was just one and he would have chosen to have the best appetite with him, but now he could only choose you, my dear Princess Lisandro! ”

Is it just me?

Lisandro wasn't that confident, at least she knew that there might be at least one other candidate for Volibel, and that was Ash, a woman who had a very complicated relationship with Augustus.

Augustus may be able to help unify the dervish tribe of Ferreljord, but he must not rely on it. Even if you rely on the vulgar trolls, you must not rely on this Augustus who rebels when he should rebel when his interests come, and support him when he supports it!

A resident of the Noxian Empire, a knight of the Noxian Empire, and a politician of the Noxian Empire, no matter which of these three identities, the head is not stupid, and Lisandro, who has not been conquered by Augustus, is not stupid to believe Augustus.

Of course, Augustus could never maintain complete trust in this complicated princess Lisandro! Both of them know very well that they can talk to each other on an equal footing, because both parties have the interests that the other needs in their hands, if this interest does not exist, then they should be betrayed, and they should let go, and there will never be any friendship between the two!

Therefore, even if Augustus's words to this princess Lisandro were full of sweetness and teasing, it was impossible to forget the jealousy in his heart!

This is the cruelty and cold-bloodedness of politics and power. (To be continued.) )
