Chapter 47: The Death of General Burnham

An Iron Oak Medal, a crappy magician. 500 Caesar coins, a great magician whose strength has been sealed; This news from the Fern Slave Exchange soon spread throughout St. Peter's City, from the five major families to the common people, who knew about this very strange thing, and knew about Augustus, the Noxian hero who had disappeared from the sight of the nobles since the Holy War.

However, this time it was not the general praise of the end of the holy war, but the sound of curses, the Iron Oak Medal, which symbolized the highest glory of the Noxian soldiers, in exchange for a crappy magician who had no effect but only a few gestures, and Augustus, the guy who was lucky enough to get an Iron Oak Medal in the Holy War, was it crazy? Didn't he know that this Iron Oak Medal would allow him to smash open the door of the heavily guarded aristocratic world? This is almost what many people have to say about Augustus.

However, the rhetoric against Augustus soon died down in another matter. In the early morning of March 7, 1047 in the Valoran continental calendar, General Burnham, the greatest leader of Noxus, passed away at St. Peter's Castle, and the old man who dominated Noxus for half a century was accompanied by Her Royal Highness Princess Kirise Stuart, the most noble of Noxian blood.

This is no less than an earthquake for Noxus and for the Valoran continent. Whether it is a person who reveres Burnham, a person who hates Burnham, a person who hates Burnham, or a political enemy and friend of Burnham, they all have to admit that the last century was Burnham's world, and the person who dominated the last century was Burnham.

The greatest leader of Noxus had a big smile on his face before he died, leaving only one sentence: "Irett, Helen, I can finally see your face clearly!" ”

Arrett, Helen? Two old and unfamiliar names. I am afraid that only a few people know these two names, the family of Darkwell, the helmsman of the Bacon family, Commodoro, and the secretary of state, Hegelst, who is happy to be friends with General Burnham.

News of General Burnham's death soon spread through the streets, from St. Peter's to any city in Noxus, and from Noxus to the entire continent of Valoran.

The Bacon family was full of laughter, and Burnham's old immortal fellow had finally gone to see God, and the stone that had been pressing on the Bacon family's head was finally removed. The members of the Bacon family all had cheerful smiles on their faces, and a pair of burning eyes looked at the patriarch of the Bacon family, Komodoro Bacon, who sat on the chair of the Bacon family and really controlled the behemoth of the Bacon family!

This leader has been in the political arena of the Noxian Empire for 40 years.

Anyone has to admit that Commodoro is one of the most famous politicians in the history of Noxus, and under the leadership of this old politician, the already extremely powerful Bacon family has further strengthened, and even the powerful General Burnham has not been able to stop the Bacon family from becoming more powerful.

Commodoro sighed softly, and Commodoro, dressed in a very well-made and very ornate costume, slowly stood up and looked on tiptoe in the direction of St. Peter's City. muttered to himself, "Burnham, are you just leaving with such peace of mind??" ”

In Commodoro's eyes, he has only one opponent in the Noxian power world, that is, Burnham, who has always firmly controlled the imperial power of the Noxian Empire, but will never be crowned king, the uncrowned king who has dominated Noxian politics for more than half a century.

Everyone has always been oppressed by Burnham's incomparably powerful power, even though he can grab what he needs step by step from Burnham's hands, and is admired and even revered by many nobles. But in the eyes of Commodoro, he has been at a long-term disadvantage in his confrontation with Burnham, if not for the fact that he has the Bacon family behind him, which is considered to be entrenched in Noxus. I am afraid that I have long been like the former head of the Rotonchilde family, with regret, and left the center of power of the nobility with Rotonchild.

Garrod Bacon, as the orthodox bloodline of the Bacon family, as the young man who is most valued by the Bacon family, the grandfather who was dominant in the political arena, looked at his grandfather Comodoro Bacon with a faint smile on his face, who did not show any emotion between his eyebrows.

Garrod was a little incredible. But as a qualified nobleman, Garrod had long understood that he could not show his emotions on his face at any time, and he calmly walked up to Commodoro, the patriarch of the Bacon family, who had supreme majesty in the Bacon family, and whose words could cause earth-shattering changes in the Bacon family, in a respectful and sincere tone. He said slowly: "Grandfather, everyone is regretting or rejoicing at General Burnham's departure, but why is Grandfather acting so calm and indifferent? ”

Commodoro glanced at the most favored grandson in front of him, and a fairly soft smile appeared in front of him under a cold and old-fashioned face, Commodoro slowly stood up, walked up to Garrod, and smiled: "Happy? Why rejoice? Is it because the mountain that has been suppressing our Bacon family has been removed? Dear Garrod, as a worthy heir to the Bacon family, you should think things through! Rather than simply believing that such emotions will push the mighty Bacon family into the arms of the devil, the abyss of destruction! ”

Garrod has always been the most talented young man in the Noxian Empire, even compared to Caterina and Cassiopeia, the two pearls of the Empire, but at this moment, he is confused by the words of his grandfather Commodoro. "Is there anyone else who can restrain the strength of the Bacon family?"

Commodoro glanced at Garrod with some disappointment, what a stupid fellow. His mind couldn't help but recall the calm young voice in the Cathedral of Egustin, and sighed in his heart: "Augustus, if the heir of the Bacon family has half of Augustus's political wisdom and brains, then why can't the Bacon family become the first family of Noxus?" ”

As a nobleman, there is a sentence that can never be forgotten, otherwise even a first-class family will be reduced to a memory sealed by history: there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests! Commodoro was disappointed, Galrod and Augustus, who also received the Order of the Iron Oak, the former should have understood this sentence better than the latter, but the result was the opposite.

"Aristocratic life is always comfortable and complicated. When you choose to be a comfortable nobleman, then you can only become a fish in the eyes of other nobles! Commodoro's mind couldn't help but hear the words that Burnham Darkwell had said to him.

Garrod, who was still wondering about his grandfather's words, did not know that his grandfather, who was extremely gloomy and had a very wide range of ideas, had secretly removed him from the position of heir to the Bacon family, and there was only one reason: a nobleman who did not understand the laws of nobility could only lead the Bacon family to the abyss of destruction, not the other side of glory!

Svein sat calmly in his favorite chair. Holding his golden palm, he silently looked at the red wine on the table that was originally intended to be used to celebrate. His disciple, the supreme leader of the city, knelt on the ground very respectfully and reverently, and his face was already showing large droplets of sweat.

"I didn't expect General Burnham to be so important in the teacher's heart!" Urgarte sighed softly in his heart, he never thought that the teacher, who had always been soft-voiced and elegant, would show such a strong and ferocious arrogance after hearing the news of General Burnham's death, at that time he even felt that he was dealing with the three-headed dog of hell, dealing with death, that kind of fear, Ergart did not want to try a second time.

The brutal, ferocious, bloody aura slowly withdrew after about three or four breaths. These few breaths are enough for Urgarte to know that the current Noxian political star, a prominent figure in Noxian politics, was an iron-blooded general with at least tens of thousands of foreign blood in his hands ten years ago.

"Ergat, General Burnham has returned to the arms of God?" After a long, long time, Svein stood up on crutches and said in a deep voice.

Ergart was a little unbearable, but replied honestly: "General Burnham is gone!" ”

Svein nodded softly. He staggered to the door on crutches and looked at the magnificent and wealthy St. Peter's Castle in the distance. With a pop, in Ergat's stunned eyes, he fell to his knees.

How can it be? How could Lord Svein kneel down to someone else, even if that person was General Burnham!

But Urgat will understand right away!

Svein knelt on the ground, kowtowed respectfully, and said calmly and reverently, "Teacher." Go all the way! ”

Teacher, it turns out that General Burnham turned out to be the teacher's teacher!

――――――

St. Peter's Castle.

Augustus had already taken off the armor that he had worn all year round, and put on a rather solemn and heavy black aristocratic robe, and when he learned of General Burnham's death, he also received a letter of appointment from General Burnham, and now Augustus was already the lord of Ferreljord. A nobleman with the title of Viscount.

Not basking in joy, Augustus shut himself in his study, and it took about a day for him to come out with bloodshot eyes. Surprised and worried at the sight of such a tired Cana, Augustus shook his head and ordered the Minotaur Alysta to prepare the carriage and come to St. Peter's Castle.

Princess Kiris Stuart has also taken off her very gorgeous and extravagant aristocratic outfit and changed into a simple white dress, which looks full of sadness. Glancing back at Augustus, Chillis said softly, "You seem to be a little late!" ”

Augustus didn't answer Kiris's words, looked down at the old man who had fallen asleep in front of him, slowly bent his knees, half-knelt in front of the old man, and muttered: "General Burnham, I have already written your biography for you, please revise it!" ”

Qilisi turned her head, when she saw Augustus just now, she had already found that Augustus's eyes were bloodshot, and his spirit looked extremely tired, a strong man who already had the realm of a great knight should not be so tired, unless he had carried out some hard and heavy work.

Now it seems that everything is clear.

Perhaps when he received the news of General Burnham's death, the ordinary Noxian knight kept himself in his room to complete Burnham's mission: to write a biography like no other.

Chillis turned her head away, trying not to let her tears fall, General Burnham is dead, the ruler of Noxus is dead, she is the future ruler of Noxus, so she can't shed tears, she can't have any weak emotions.

Because of her queen of Noxus, Empress Kiris Stuart. (To be continued.) )
