Chapter 15: The Manor of Polsan
Chapter 15: The Manor of Polsan
"Words of mouth can never achieve your goal, only great power can!" When Augustus brought back a manor belonging to General Burnham with the twenty median knights and two servants and the minotaur Alista who had bought him a lot of money, Augustus calmly swept over the twenty knights and said.
The estate, which belonged to General Burnham, was temporarily loaned to Augustus by General Burnham for temporary residence. A not-so-majestic castle stands in the middle of this manor called Porshan. The castle does not have tall and cold walls, no Gothic architecture with a distinctly medieval style, but a soft and delicate one, small but warm.
For the first time, the castle in the tranquil Pershan Manor, far from St. Peter's, belonged to the tyrannical and eccentric General Burnham Darkwell. Augustus had seen General Burnham Darkwell's castle on the busiest street of St. Peter's. The castle is rugged and domineering, which is very different from the castle here.
But Augustus was not too surprised, and walked into the Polsan manor with Theon, the Minotaurs, twenty middle knights, and two women. The maids, gardeners, butlers, and more than 20 people of all ages stood outside the castle and welcomed Augustus, who is now well-known in St. Peter's city, and his knights and guards into the castle with the most solemn courtesy.
Obviously, this group of rebellious servant butlers, who had become accustomed to living under the protection of General Burnham, should have heard General Burnham's greetings. Therefore, Augustus and his entourage stayed in this castle, which was not luxurious, but very cozy, without any hindrance.
Idle, Augustus ordered Seon to take the Minotaur Alista and twenty other knightly guards already under his name to the castle's training square for training, while he went to visit the manor.
It's no longer the ignorant boy who didn't know anything about the Valoran continent in the past. These twenty-two years of life experience made Augustus clear that the capital base of an imperial nobleman is not measured by how many slaves he has, which basically has no reference value for the capital base of the noble. In this society of low human life, for the aristocracy, a young maid who commits suicide after being toyed with is far less than a pure-blooded foxhound.
To measure the capital base of an imperial nobleman, you can see how much money he spends at various auctions. No matter how frugal and stingy a nobleman is, there will always be interesting auctions that make him willing to take out a large number of scattered gold coins. Then you can see how many purebred young horses his estate can breed in a year, and how many precious hunting dogs he keeps in captivity, which is far more valuable than looking at how many slave servants he owns.
Looking at our General Burnham Darkwell in these ways, Augustus can only laugh at himself and say that this is really not an outstanding nobleman. There is basically no figure of General Burnham Darkwell spending a lot of money in the major auction houses, and the dozen or so horses with impure blood and those earth dogs in the manor basically can't tell how much General Burnham Darkwell has?
Isn't General Burnham Darkwell well-informed? If this sentence is spoken, everyone will believe it, and it can only be said that Burnham Duckwell, a nobleman, did not like to spend his wealth on all kinds of extravagant auction houses and domesticated horses and hunting dogs, and he used his wealth for the army, politics and other valuable things.
Augustus, who did not get any useful information, could only sigh: "It is worthy that I, Augustus, look up to the chasing big man General Burnham." ”
Therefore, when he came to the training ground, Augustus said with emotion to Sain, the Minotaur Alista, and the twenty knights. Augustus then summoned the steward of the Palshan estate. Asked, "I applied to General Burnham to transfer the magician who accompanied me to practice now, has it come to Polshan Manor?" ”
The butler, who was about fifty years old, did not have the slightest arrogance, nodded respectfully and answered Augustus's question, and said, "The two magicians wearing tulip badges have come to the Porshan Manor and are now resting in the castle. Master Augustus, do you want to invite them over now? ”
Tulip badge! Hearing these five words, the rhythm of the training of the guard knights who were training behind him was slightly disrupted, and he slowed down, and Sean also grew his mouth, and looked at Augustus who was looking playful.
"A magician with a tulip badge? How many petals do they have for their tulip badges?? Augustus asked with a smile.
The butler replied respectfully, "The tulip badge worn on the chest of the magician Shermir has three petals, and the tulip badge worn on the chest of the magician Michelangeline has four petals. ”
Except for Alista, the Minotaur, who didn't know anything about the mage wearing the mage's medal on his chest and was safely completing the training that Seon had assigned to him. The rest of the people looked surprised, and many looked at Augustus in confusion or humility or awe or burning heat.
Augustus completely ignored everyone's faces, including Sein, he nodded with a smile and said, "General Burnham really looks up to Augustus!" Chamberlain. If you have time to thank General Burnham for me, I would like you to invite the two venerable magicians to the training ground, and say that Augustus wants to know them, and they will know what I mean. ”
Whether it's a knights' guild or a magic guild. There are strict standards for badge wearing. The former knights' guild is not bad, after all, there are not many badges issued, and the badges are basically only issued against the knights of the great knight and above. The latter's Magic Guild has strict requirements for the wearing and promulgation of badges. Because the badge worn by the magician is not only a symbol of glory. It also symbolizes rank.
Each mage rank on the Valoran continent has a different symbolic badge, the low level is the root grass, the middle level is the purple lily, and the high level is the sword butterfly chrysanthemum, each level has three "bits", for example, one purple lily badge is the first position, and three petals are the upper position. Level 10 to enter the Great Mage, from 10 to 15, the Tulip Badge will also increase from single petal to 6 petals, the Black Orchid Badge worn by the Magic Sage at level 16 to 20, and the magicians who have the Holy Dome Wizard realm, which are already almost mundane, will not and disdain to wear or even accept any badge issued by the Wizard Association.
The magician wearing the tulip badge is the Great Magician realm, and the three or four petals symbolize the middle of the Great Magician. It can be said that except for some big nobles, few people can be invited to be arrogant, eccentric, like to be alone in the magic tower or deep mountains or forests, like to go alone and cautiously study the great magicians of the wizarding world.
The slaves who had just been bought by Augustus from the Fern Slave Exchange were the terrifying energy that shocked Augustus, not only with General Burnham, who held the power of Noxus, but so closely. He was able to ask Burnham Darkwell to help him hire two great magicians with tulips to accompany him in his training.
Time. The guards and knights, who had already been active since leaving the slave exchange, couldn't help but think to themselves about how they should deal with the new master. A very obvious scene appeared quietly, the fifteen knights who had nothing to do with the Demacian Empire quietly began to distance themselves from the five Demacian knights who had been captured due to the Holy War, especially the two knights of the Dawning Legion were even more ostracized.
No one likes to face danger, and in the hearts of this group of knights, these five Demacian knights are the source of danger. Who knows if these knights will send a god to plan an assassination of Augustus for the Demacian Empire that day? At that time, it is good that the assassination is successful, but if it is not successful, will they, who are usually friends with these crazy people, be implicated? Although they didn't spend much time with Augustus, they could also feel that Augustus was definitely not a soft-hearted person.
Ignoring the guards who looked at each other and had complicated thoughts, such mutual suspicion and guarding, this is what Augustus wants to see. If these knights of the guards live in harmony, they will be in calamity. That's what Augustus should be worried about.
Walking to a dumbbell-shaped stone weighing about 200 pounds and about half a meter long, Augustus held the center of the dumbbell with one hand, lifted the dumbbell directly and easily in one breath, and then slowly went up with his arm, and then when the dumbbell was about to be lifted to the highest, he suddenly exerted force, and then quickly let go, and the dumbbell was thrown high.
Then Augustus easily caught the dumbbell again.
Augustus, who had done a set of strenuous exercises, did not have any fatigue. With a calm expression, he glanced at the dumbbell training equipment not far away that was exactly the same as in his hand, and said to Sain on the side: "Take him to me!" ”
Sain nodded and bent down to throw the dumbbell directly to Augustus.
At any time, Augustus continued to do the same movement again, holding the two dumbbells in his hands at the same time with his left and right hands. Finally, he slowly lifted up, and finally threw the dumbbell into the sky when he was about to reach the highest, and then caught it very easily.
And so on, without hurry. I made twenty of them very rhythmically, and then calmly threw the dumbbells to the ground, and the dumbbells smashed two big holes on the black dirt floor.
At this moment, the knights who stood aside and watched Augustus train all looked stunned. Lifting a two-hundred-pound stone with one hand is not a particularly difficult thing to do. Even if he did a set of Augustus's training just now, it would not be difficult for this group of Qi Knights who had reached the middle realm. But after doing a set, their breath will definitely be unstable, and even the knights who have just stepped into the realm of mid-rank knights may be out of breath!
Not to mention that when the stone fell from the sky, the force of which was two hundred catties, at least five or six hundred catties, but Augustus was very accurate at the same time without any trembling to catch the two five or six hundred catties of impacting stones, and then did twenty in a row.
This made this group of knights, who had always thought that the strength of the young man in front of them was only a little higher than their own, and they had a feeling of being a mountain up. At the same time, there was an indescribable sense of frustration in my heart.
As the only one of the twenty knights who was about to be promoted to a senior knight, Don Quixwell also had an indescribable sense of frustration when he saw this scene. Although he became a prisoner of war and a knight who was reduced to slavery because of the Holy War, he did not attach his defeat to Noxus, nor did he think about revenge on Augustus who saved him from the slave exchange. In fact, he still had a slight affection for Augustus, but even so, Don Quixwell's knightly pride did not allow him to admit defeat like this, and he hoped that he could use his own strength to conquer the owner of the Iron Oak Medal in front of him.
Can now? But he no longer had that faith. Although he could barely do twenty exercises like Augustus had just done, he would definitely not be as relaxed as Augustus had done after these movements.
This is the difference in strength.
When close to a person, people are envious and jealous. When you are far away from a person, you will only worship and look up. At this moment, Augustus was already an existence that could only be looked up to in the eyes of this group of rebellious guards.
Now Don Quixwell felt as if he could only look up to this young Noxian who was much younger than him.
Augustus glanced at the guards with dull expressions and the servants of the Porshan Manor who were standing around and quietly looking at their training, and said lightly to the guards and knights: "Standing at the foot of the mountain and envying the people standing on the top of the mountain, it is absolutely impossible to reach the top of the mountain. The only way to reach the top of the mountain is to walk up step by step. ”
There was a silence, and the knights, who had stopped training, threw themselves into training again. This training does not have the coping style just now, but a pair of eyes for the pursuit of strength.
Retracting his gaze, Augustus cast his eyes on the minotaur Alista, who had been staring at his training just now, Augustus showed a bright smile and said: "Alista, when you participate in the gladiator duel in the Colosseum, I will press seven hundred scattered gold coins to the Fein Slave Exchange, if you lose, I will use these seven hundred scattered gold coins as your burial goods, if you win, I will give you the scattered gold coins that are ushered in, and you can use him to do what you want." ”
Augustus spread his hands and put them on his chest, stared into Alista's eyes and said, "I have given you the opportunity, as for whether you succeed or not, it depends on your own strength." ”
Standing aside, looking at the grateful Alista and the knights who were training hard to pursue their strength, Sean showed a bright smile on his face, and said softly: "It is worthy of the young master Augustus that I, Sein swore to follow for the rest of his life." ”
At this moment, the smile on Sain's face was not honest, only wise.
