Chapter 8: The Elegant Noble Young Master (I)

The dashing departure of the woman who had lived on the Alder Mountain for a year did not have any profound impact on Augustus's life, because Augustus had been subconsciously using: how could the departure of a noble temperament affect the mood of the future General Augustus, who was about to become the halo of Alder City?

But only Augustus knew what the actual situation was.

It is undeniable that there is a sentence that Augustus will probably never forget in his life

- "There are four kinds of people in the world, who are overwhelmed by the rules, who follow the rules, who break the rules, and who make the rules. ”

What kind of person? After six years, once again picking up the natural hunting bow that his father Saudi Arabia hung on the white stone wall, Augustus bent his bow and arrows, and pulled the horn bow into a full moon at one time, "Peng! An explosion rang out in the air, and the arrow pierced the void and shot like lightning towards the hundred-year-old ancient tree on the opposite side.

The ancient trees shook violently, and the leaves that had not been many in a hundred years fell.

It's a horror hunting bow that is inversely proportional to its mediocre appearance.

At this moment, Augustus, who bent his bow and arrow, shot this arrow, seemed to have a dazzling light all over his body, as if he had descended from the heavens.

A pair of eyes full of terrifying ambition revealed a sharp look that was enough to shock any big person, like a divine soldier that had been sealed for many years and finally broke through the dust, showing an incomparable demeanor.

At this moment, even Lord Svein, a famous wise man in the Noxian Empire, could not have imagined that the terrible ambition that flashed in Augustus' eyes at this moment was not the power and nobility titles that every Noxianan longed for, but the conquest of a woman.

Perhaps the strategists who knew of Augustus's thoughts would have been surprised and disappointed, but if Svein, who had squeezed into the center of imperial power and became a member of the Senate, knew who the woman Augustus wanted to conquer was, I am afraid that his eyes would not be disappointed and disdainful, but amazed.

Since that woman became a great woman that the men of the Valoran Continent had to admit to look up to with her peerless demeanor, none of the peerless powerhouses or emperors who held supreme power who were pushed to the altar by the Valoran Continent had the intention of conquering that woman, and in the eyes of the group of big people who had become the world's eyes to worship the altar, the distance between them and that woman was equal to the distance between the civilians who worshipped them and them.

You can only look up. Thou shalt not blaspheme!

Fortunately, Augustus didn't know how amazing and gorgeous the unattainable woman in his heart was in the Valoran continent and the status of the woman, and he probably wouldn't dare to have the idea of conquest.

The city of Alder, bordering the permafrost tundra, was unusually cold these days, and the snow was overwhelming, but no nobleman dared to be lazy, and they all walked to Stironland Square before the start of the recruit meeting. The aristocracy attached so much importance to the military service system, let alone the commoners? At the urging of Aunt Carros, Augustus, like the other recruits, arrived at Stirons' Square an hour early.

However, Augustus, who arrived in the square, kept his mouth shut, like the other recruits, and did not dare to say a word more. Today is an important day. This day is privately known as the Speech Day by the residents of Alder Castle.

In short, it was the day when General Ergart spoke with Bishop Raphael and several important families of Alder City, such as Earl Bolton and Earl Brooke.

The Recruit Assembly, with the speeches of General Ergarte and Bishop Raphael, is a very holy day, according to the law of Noxus. On this day, civilians were not allowed to accompany and listen to the surroundings of Stiroland Square, so although Caros wanted to go to Stiroland Square, Carros, who was 'nurtured' by the strict laws of the Noxian Empire, resisted this urge.

At this time, the class gap between the nobility and the commoners showed a huge gap! The nobles were eligible to attend the opening ceremony of the recruit assembly, but the commoners were not even qualified to watch from afar. However, this set of laws laid down by the old aristocracy is disliked by the modern General Burnham, who holds the power of the Noxian Empire, so it extends to a strange spectacle: every year there are no civilians around Stiroland Square except for nobles, recruits, soldiers and knights on mission, but not far outside the square is crowded with listening residents.

In this regard, the lord of Ergarth, who has always respected the laws of the empire as a god, just turned a blind eye, ignored or punished, and sometimes even raised his voice intentionally or unintentionally. Let the civilians in the distance hear his speech on Styroland Square.

Things did not come as a surprise to Augustus, even if he stood in the ranks of the recruits, he was in the limelight yesterday and was hostile to many recruits around him, and even a few of them even showed a flash of killing intent.

Augustus was not impressed by this natural situation. Don't even pay attention to the emotions of this group of recruits who harbor feelings of jealousy, envy, etc.?

In Augustus' opinion, if he wasted his time on this group of garbage that showed the city at every turn, he would be dead with no place to bury. Augustus's goal was clear, and he knew very well that it was not this group of treacherous, hypocritical, or indifferent commoners who could stop him, but a group of aristocratic young masters who had been trained in strict aristocratic etiquette. They are the ones who really choke his fate.

No matter what the territory, there are always a few noble young masters with extremely noble status among the huge number of recruits in that territory, who either join the ranks of recruits because of their fanaticism for the empire or unwilling to be lonely or because of ambition, and become ordinary soldiers.

For ordinary civilians. To be a soldier is to gamble your life to see if you can get some favor from the goddess of luck and soar to prominence - not to mention becoming a nobleman, at least to become a knight or a rich man above the commoners.

For the noble young masters who are about to face a cruel and bloody test when joining the army, why is this not the case? The army has never been a comfortable haven for the aristocracy, and only the ambitious aristocracy will seek merit by joining the army as a shortcut to the Grim Reaper.

Compared to civilians, their biggest advantage is that they have more opportunities to stand out from the army, at least when they officially become a recruit or will enter the First Knight Academy of the Empire or directly hold important positions in the army, when they come back from walking around the battlefield and not die, then they will have a rich resume when they are engaged in politics or other important things.

Commoners may be unwilling, but this is the prerogative of the nobility.

Besides, every nobleman knows to replace Kiris? Her Royal Highness Princess Stuart, General Burnham, who holds the authority of the Noxian Empire, is more affectionate than the orthodox gentleman-type nobles, and has the ability to make meritorious knights and nobles from a relatively fair army.

"It makes sense on Earth and everywhere!" Augustus, who had studied these situations in depth, lamented.

According to Augustus, at least six of the new recruits in this year's recruit have come to compete with him, a commoner, for a job. This is not a pleasant thing, which means that at least six noble young masters have choked his fate, and Augustus knows very well that if he can't win the glory of being the first recruit and become a cadet of the first knight academy of the empire, then he will definitely not be able to break free from Urgat's control. And once the recruit tournament was over, he didn't think that this ruthless lord would pity this toy that had no use value.

Without the protection of Ergarth's powerful wing, he will naturally become a fish in the eyes of the nobles who offend in the recruit assembly, and he will be torn to shreds every second.

Augustus, who had a political acumen that even Raphael marveled at, thought this very clearly.

"So many noble young masters join the army? That's a strange thing. ”

Augustus had also pondered in his idle boredom that perhaps the reason for this result was that General Burnham, the Imperial Council of Power, had made some special remarks, so that the nobles who were good at seeing the wind and steering began to adjust their family policies.

It has to be said that Bishop Raphael had nothing to say about Urgat: Augustus is better at being a good and clever politician than being a soldier of the Noxian Empire.

The VIP seats were still empty, and it was really difficult for a noble lord and aristocratic ladies who were extremely strict in observing the time to come back early, after all, there was still an hour before the recruit conference.

Augustus looked around the square, looking at the imposing Place de Stirolan, his gaze unexpectedly intertwined with that of a handsome blonde young man.

This young man, who was obviously dressed as a noble young master, looked at Augustus, and his eyes did not show the disdain and contempt of the nobles when they saw the commoners, but smiled brightly, waved his hand at Augustus, and then made a gesture that Augustus did not expect, and this elegant and charming noble young master actually walked towards him.

"It's an elegant aristocratic young master!" Looking at the impeccable figure, Augustus sighed heartily, with a sincere smile on his face, but a strange light quickly flashed in his eyes that no one noticed. (To be continued.) )
