Chapter 14: Ferreljord
Chapter 14: Ferreljord
"No one wants to give a scattered gold coin to an unmasked man! Not to mention a scattered gold coin, even a silver bourbon coin or even a worthless copper plate, no one wants to give a stranger for free. This sentence is not exclusive to Noxus, it is true in any country and place on the continent of Valoran.
Now Augustus was no less than a bastard who had no merit to speak of, but who grinned and stretched out his hand to scatter the gold coins at him. For such a guy, it is difficult for anyone to give a good face.
Augustus, who has always had an elegant and capable smile, has already taken Sejuani's look in his eyes, although Sejuani, who has already achieved the joy and anger, does not show any expression worthy of Augustus's scrutiny, but Augustus, who has often dealt with the noxian nobles for a while, still captures a slight brow.
"Your Majesty, you should know better about the situation of Ferreljord than I, the knight of Noxus. Freeljord's unification war is about to begin, and without the intervention of Noxus and the Barbarian Warriors, what are the odds of your Majesty Sejuani unifying Freeljord? Not doing too much aristocratic conversation, Augustus chose to go straight to the point, briefly and directly to the core of the problem, looking at this brave and warlike woman on the permafrost tundra, and said slowly.
Sejuani glanced at Augustus, and a pair of eyes that had once made everyone on the permafrost tundra were in awe of him and unabashedly flashed a trace of appreciation, but it was fleeting, and then a pair of eyes looked at Augustus with a scrutinizing gaze, and said very calmly: "The unification of Ferreljord is already imperative, and even the efforts of Noxus and the barbarians to stop it cannot change this situation!" But now it's not me who is the most vocal in unifying Ferreljord, but the Ice Archer Tribe Queen Ash, who once ruled Queen Ferreljord's Ice Bow! ”
A bright smile appeared on Augustus' face, and Augustus was very satisfied with Sejuani's honesty. The most taboo thing in a negotiation is not to be honest with each other, and such a negotiation is not so much a negotiation as a graceful exchange of words between the two nobles.
Therefore, the negotiations between the nobles were always protracted. As for high efficiency? This term may only be used in terms of the speed at which the aristocracy conquered women.
"Queen Ash, with the Ice Bow, is certainly the most powerful contender for the domination of Ferreljord, but Noxus and the barbarians are most optimistic about your Winterclaw tribe with Your Majesty Sejuani! Noxus needs a stable external environment, and the barbarians need a safe trading channel, so for us, as long as we can get these two points, it doesn't matter if the owner of Ferreljord is the Ice Shooter tribe or the Winterclaw tribe! ”
Sejuani smiled coldly, looked at Augustus with a sincere face, and said, "Have you forgotten to mention that there is another strong contender, that is, the leader of the dervish tribe, Lisandro, who is said to have always had a friendly relationship with Noxus. She should be the one you would most like to dominate Ferreljord! ”
――――
Information, intelligence, no matter which person is in charge, is very important! Although Sejuani has never left the permafrost tundra, she is not unaware of the permafrost tundra and what is going on outside of the permafrost tundra! Not to mention everything, at least some of the major events that have happened in the Valoran continent recently, Sejuani knows all about it.
For Sejuani's sharp eyes, Augustus secretly praised in his heart. Although the knights under the leadership of Augustus have not been too close to the dervishes in the past six months, he was able to stop in the territory of the dervishes for a long time without too many problems, which is enough to make the doubtful superiors have a lot of reverie about this.
Some things even if they are said too much. It only adds to suspicion! Not to mention how rich the experience of the past and present lives is, but not too shallow, Augustus naturally understands this truth, so he simply does not explain the doubts in Sejuani's heart, and is simple and straightforward. He asked with a smile: "When there is no conflict of interest, elegant words are the most powerful weapon of human beings. But in the face of interests, no matter how elegant the words are, it is difficult not to make people wonder, and at this time the language shows his paleness! That's where I'm now. Your Majesty! At this moment, no matter how much I explain, it will not be convincing to you, so I do not intend to explain the reasons again, but I just want to ask His Majesty Sejuani if he is willing to accept the friendship between Noxus and the barbarians. And how can we trust the friendship between Noxus and the barbarians? ”
Augustus patted the tense and guarded Alista, and looked at Sejuani, who was about to make the decision to cut off his head or set him free, with a relaxed smile.
In the face of this woman who was as cold as ice and it was difficult to show a hint of a smile, Augustus did not hide the male desire to conquer beautiful things in his eyes, and if he could make this Ferreljord goddess of war moan tactfully on the chuang, it would be a big temptation for any normal man.
It's a difficult question to answer in one bite, at least for Sejuani. If she could make a simple decision, Sejuani would not have let Augustus look at her for so long without making any move.
For Augustus's eyes full of lust ~ lust, although Sejuani can turn a blind eye and get used to it, it doesn't mean that she doesn't care. At least if there were two decisions in front of her, one was to let Augustus go, and the other was to kill Augustus, she would definitely not have any hesitation to choose the latter.
Noxian friendship? Barbarian friendship? Sejuani sneered in her heart, if Noxus could have friendship at all, then the Demacian Empire would not have launched a declaration of war on Noxus many years ago, and even caused the intervention of Ionia, Acacia, Zuan and other empires, and finally formed a scene where the Eight-Nation Alliance vigorously surrounded St. Peter, the imperial capital of Noxus.
As for the barbarians? How many Bourbon silver coins can this friendship of the races that conquered the Valoran continent be worth in its bones?
For Augustus's somewhat politician-like high-sounding remarks, Sejuani showed disdain from the bottom of her bones. But I also have to admire Augustus, who is obviously a Noxian knight but has the cunning and deceitful nature of a politician, who controls the rhythm of the conversation in just a few words, forcing himself to make a decision.
As we all know, Sejuani is the goddess of war in Ferreljord, and even Queen Ash, who is now more famous than Sejuani, cannot hide her brilliance.
"Sometimes fame is like a burden, a fear that makes people stand still. But for some, fame is what they are, and they get more out of their enemies while confusing them! These words from the mouth of the famous Noxian politician are very obvious to the female god of war of Ferreldrodd in front of him.
When everyone else remembers the title of Ferreljord's goddess of war, they will stubbornly think that this woman has a talent for bravery that is beyond the reach of the people of Ferreljord, but ignore the wisdom of this woman who is famous for her bravery?
How could a female god of war who only has courage but no wisdom be able to control the Winterclaw tribe of tens of thousands of people?
Augustus saw through the fact that Sejuani not only had the incomparable bravery of ordinary people, but also saw the wisdom of Sejuani, so he said that anti-guest speech.
As a resident of Ferreljord, who has a hatred for Noxus, it is natural to hope that the Noxian knights can be killed as quickly as possible. However, as the leader of Ferreljord, you must consider what will happen if you kill the Noxian Knight with the Iron Oak label.
Sejuani was a qualified leader who naturally considered these issues, and thus naturally fell into the trap of Augustus.
Augustus, who was still triumphant because he was distressed by Sejuani, swept away a faint smile on Sejuani's unchanged face, which was very amazing, but it also made Augustus feel creepy.
Suddenly, Augustus had the illusion that the goddess of doom was once again favoring him.
