Chapter Twenty-Three: Warwick

Before arriving at St. Peter, the capital of Noxus, Augustus did not encounter anything too sinister along the way, except for a few groups of bandits and outcasts who were not in any danger at all, and the success was almost unimaginable for Augustus, but on the way, he met a big man of the Noxian Empire.

But if a person who has the ability to come to Noxus, as long as he does not resist the Holy See, the Noxus Empire will be accepted unconditionally, even if his reputation in other countries on the Valoran continent is corrupted, but after entering the Noxus Empire, he can start again. The Demacian Empire, which is based on justice, is very disgusted with the idea that the strong man is king like Noxus, which is one of the reasons why Noxus and the Demacian Empire have been frequently opposed.

Some people oppose it, and naturally some people agree with it. Those strong people who couldn't stay in the rest of the Valoran continent came to the Noxus Empire to start over, which was naturally their best choice. Isn't this true of Vladimir, the third dark giant of the Inquisition? This most authoritative figure in the Noxian Empire, except for the Pope and General Burnham and the patriarchs of the five major families, can personally kill the master who taught him all his skills on the Storm Plains, and his palm can be contaminated with dozens of lives because of curiosity and playfulness, so that the condemned person can become the core figure of Noxus, you can imagine how much encouragement other strong people will bear in their hearts.

Augustus, who has seen Vladimir, will definitely not have any surprises, let alone surprises, when he sees Vladimir again! This time, Augustus saw that although the big man was not as prominent as Vladimir, Vladimir was generally not originally part of the Noxian Empire, but an alchemist who fled from the Zuan Dynasty, which had a complicated relationship with the Noxian Empire.

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, who appeared with a werewolf face that was just as disgusting to the Holy See as the vampire race, Augustus almost drew Saxtoro's saber to give the unclean creature an intimate touch, and the result was the abominable life of this guy.

"You're the lucky Augustus who was kissed by General Burnham? I don't think you're doing well? Can you escape my alchemy? The werewolf looked at Augustus with a cold look in his eyes, and in his hand he held a glass tube as thick as a thumb, about two inches high, with half a tube of blue potion in it. The potion danced merrily in the werewolf's hands.

Immediately, Augustus was ready to give a sword to this werewolf who dared to walk in the daytime, but when the arrogant werewolf said those words, the broadsword that was about to be swung quickly immediately returned to its sheath, and he looked deeply at the werewolf in front of him, who was a head taller than himself, smiled elegantly, and said: "I thought that the abominable heretical werewolf dared to walk in Noxus under the glory of the Holy See, it turned out to be Mr. Warwick, the greatest alchemist of our Noxian Empire!" Forgive me, Mr. Warwick, for my rudeness! ”

Then he made a perfect bow of 90 degrees.

――――

Warwick? This notorious alchemist who was cursed into a werewolf by Soraka, the greatest healer of Ionia, with a powerful spell and the power of the stars, Augustus naturally knew that this was one of the most famous events in the continent of Valoran in the past ten years.

But even so. Augustus was very interested in the werewolf Warwick, who had won countless glory with his unparalleled alchemy during his career as an alchemist. Although the curse of the Sons of the Stars, Soraka, transformed Warwick into a werewolf, it did not completely erase the unparalleled talent of the alchemist, who was once one of the most revered alchemists of the Zaun dynasty.

To this day, Warwick, who still fights tirelessly for Noxus to conquer the Valoran continent with a werewolf face, is enough to prove the importance of this werewolf to the Noxian Empire.

For such people, even Augustus was ignorant, he did not dare to slack off.

The pillars of the future empire, the pillars of the empire? For the choice between the two, the top leaders of the Noxus Empire who see the idea will definitely not hesitate to choose the former, the Noxus Empire is a paradise for the strong after all, and the survival of the fittest.

This alchemist, who had no knightly skills, let alone a talent for magicians, was obviously more useful to Noxus than he, a young Noxian general who was still thriving.

Even Augustus could have pinched this evil research maniac to death. But I have to show respect.

Warwick was very satisfied with Augustus's attitude, showed a satisfied smile, casually handed the half-tube of blue potion in his hand to Augustus, and said with a bright smile: "Augustus, I am satisfied with your attitude. Therefore, this bottle of potion that was originally used to sprinkle on your body and make you completely disappear from this world is given to you, as a small gift for your first meeting! ”

Augustus naturally took the bottle of pure blue potion the color of the ocean, looked at it carefully, and then looked at Warwick and said, "Mr. Warwick." Can you tell me exactly what this bottle does? I don't want to waste this precious gift from Mr. Warwick! ”

Warwick smiled slightly, glanced maliciously at the group of knights of the Knights of the Warrior Knights behind him who dodged and defied him with disgust, and then looked at Augustus. Pointing to the Knights of Warriors behind Augustus, he said, "Intense corrosiveness, just a drop can pierce and corrode the armor of the Noxian knight behind you, and this bottle can cause a hundred knights to lose the armor they can endure to survive!" ”

Augustus took a deep breath, his hands couldn't help but start to tremble a little, looking at Warwick, who was notorious but had an unparalleled talent in the art of alchemy, his eyes flashed with a hint of respect, and he sighed, "Congratulations to Mr. Warwick for creating another unparalleled masterpiece, but Mr. Warwick, how can I use this powerful potion?" ”

Isn't this bottle of alchemist's work the same as waste if it can't be applied if it's gone? Augustus, who has always been rational and calm, has not forgotten the crux of the matter. Besides, he never thought that there was a good thing for a pie to fall from the sky, unless the pie was a trap!

In the Noxian Empire, Warwick, who now has the terrible title of Bloodthirsty Hunter, is not a compassionate and kind person! This notorious alchemist had no idea how many people had become material in his alchemy in the past.

Will he give it at no cost? Augustus can give a definite answer, absolutely impossible!

Warwick nodded, realizing that he still underestimated the young Noxian knight. This Augustus was not like some young man who had received some benefit and forgot that it was probably a trap and bait, and he had the impression that only Octavian, who had been defeated in the Kumon Forest, had simply and neatly rejected his advantage that did not require anything in return.

Compared with Octavian's stupidity, Warwick valued Augustus's sanity and cleverness more. The foolish Octavian accepted his potion, and how could Nedri, who faced the wild huntress in the Kumon Forest, be defeated? Warwick was very confident in his new elixir.

Warwick pointed in the direction of Alder City and said with a smile: "For a person who could be mistaken for an abominable werewolf by the Holy See at any time, I really don't want to leave St. Peter's City in the Noxian Empire and leave my immaculate laboratory!" However, some people know that Augustus has some minor troubles, so why don't you send me to help you solve it! The clever Augustus should also know that the current Noxian Imperial Capital is not very peaceful! ”

A little trouble? Augustus somewhat understood why this journey would be so easy, but wasn't it the werewolf-faced alchemist in front of him who helped him solve those little troubles?

General Burnham, who has controlled the Noxian Empire for half a century, is in a hurry to abdicate, and who does this vacant command of the Noxian Empire scepter belong to? This is a problem, a question that the core figures of the Noxian Empire are fighting for!

On the surface, there are five ancient families in the Noxian Empire: the Morgan family, the Du Quekao family, the Rotonchilds, the Constantine family, and the Darkwell family, all of which have the opportunity to hold the scepter that can command the Noxian Empire.

But what about the other five families? The most qualified person to take over the scepter is Her Royal Highness Princess Kirise Stuart, the sole royal heir to the Noxian Empire.

In addition, General Burnham's most proud disciple is now calling for wind and rain in the political arena of the Noxian Empire, and in the army, he has the support of General Darius, a heavyweight in the army, and Svein also has a chance.

What about other than that?

Isn't the Black Rose Order, which controlled the imperial power of the Noxian Empire in the old aristocratic era, eyeing it all the way??

What about other than that? Maybe there are other strengths!

The current Noxus Emperor can be regarded as a turbulent and unstoppable undercurrent.

General Burnham has relinquished the scepter of the Noxian Empire, and the matter of returning Augustus to the Noxian Empire has become extremely complicated!

For this matter, Augustus held a wait-and-see attitude, but fate played a little joke on him, and Her Royal Highness Princess Kiris handed him the book "Pillars of the Empire" written by General Burnham himself through a messenger, which means that he has been noticed by all the forces of the Noxian Empire.

Involved in it and want to get rid of it? That's not an easy thing to do!

Augustus looked at Warwick and smiled, bent down and bowed his head in thanks!

Warwick didn't want to sell himself in front of Augustus, so he said, "The person you should be thankful for is not me, but the person who gave you the book "Pillars of the Empire", maybe without her you would have been in the small town of Urrok?" You can still come here! ”

Augustus asked with some surprise: "Could it be that Lord Vladimir's arrival is also the reason for Her Royal Highness Princess Kiris!" ”

"Otherwise? Do you think that selfish vampires will suddenly arrive in a remote town? Warwick sneered at Augustus.

Augustus smiled bitterly, the only person who could call the dark giant of the Inquisition a vampire was this notorious alchemist! (To be continued.) )
