Chapter XXVII. Pompey's Friendship

Augustus, who finished first in his group, delivered a perfect answer and left Place Stiroland. Augustus's amazing performance just now did not have too much impact on the next battle, and the recruit competition continued nervously and enthusiastically, but the nobles on the stage looked at the blood-pumping battle in the square, and there was less playfulness in their eyes, and there was a gloom in that faint smile.

"Young Master Pompey, fortunately, your body is strong, and you have armor and broadsword to block the impact of Augustus's untouchable arrows, so as long as you cultivate well for another two to three days, there will be no major problems." The servants of the Gnaeus family bowed their heads respectfully and asked the priest who was in charge of treating Pompey's injuries about Pompey's injuries, and then said to Pompey with a look of hatred on his face.

The servant's face and words showed his hatred for Augustus. Pompey didn't care about it, he glanced at the loyal servant who was preparing to take revenge on Augustus with a crooked idea, and said with a smile: "Remember Yurimos, don't hate your opponent, hatred will affect your judgment of things!" And remember that you are just a guard of the Gnaeus family, and as a servant you should know what you should do and what you must not do without permission! ”

Yulimos's face was slightly pale, and he lowered his head, and the little flame in his heart was snuffed out before he could even start thinking about it. In the face of the future heir of the Gnaeus family, who is famous for his wisdom, with the force value of Jurimus, who can strangle Pompey almost at any time, he has to maintain respect. It may be because of the shining noble medal of Ganeus, but it is also undeniably because of the gloomy and deep wisdom of Pompey.

Kneeling on one knee with a broadsword in his hand, he said respectfully: "Yurimos understands! ”

Clutching his chest, which was in sharp pain from time to time, he leaned on a corner of the carriage and headed towards the Gnaeus family's house. Instead of thinking about how to explain to the members of the Gnaeus family who had high hopes for him after the defeat in the first round, he thought about a question that didn't seem worth mentioning, and frowned slightly. The corners of his mouth hooked up a faint smile, and said: "Father said that the most stable way to form friendship with your peers is to prostitute ** together, and kill people and stain blood for the first time together!" It is a pity that neither of the two strongest and fastest ways of friendship can be achieved by me nor Augustus. A nobleman, a commoner, is destined not to be so unscrupulous! Kill people and stain blood together? Hehe, maybe it's not impossible to use the blood I shed today to form a friendship with Augustus! After all, Augustus was a smart man. ”

The curtain was drawn and he faced Yurimos, who was walking forward with the carriage and his hand on the hilt of his sword. He smiled and said: "Jurimos, you go to see Augustus in Taton immediately, even if Augustus's defeated subordinate Pompey of the Gnaeus family wants to invite him to dinner in the 'Alder Rose Workshop'!" Remember, don't tamper with any words I say! ”

After saying that, he didn't pay attention to this Yurimos, who was destined to have no prospect of rising for the rest of his life, and could only be the servant of their Gnaeus family. Pulling down the curtain, Pompey closed his eyes, leaned against the wall inside the car, and muttered to himself: "A commoner who has the courage to use an arrow against a nobleman, no matter how ordinary it is." It won't be too ordinary. What's more, this guy's brain is not stupid yet. ”

The afterglow of the sun, which symbolizes Noxus as the sole ruler of Valoran, is approaching, and the fierce battle in Stirolan Square is over. More than 3,300 recruits have finished their journey today, but the only difference is that some recruits are still qualified to continue the thrilling battles in the bloody and glorious square of Stirolan, while some recruits can only lie on stretchers or stand outside the square with envy and jealousy of the loser to watch the battle of honor that they have no concept of.

Every year, the inhabitants of Noxus are much more excited than usual after this recruit contest. Five or six out of ten sentences in the speech are inseparable from the remarks of the recruit conference competition. For some of the recruits who have excelled at the convention, the residents of Noxus will not hesitate to express their admiration. But for Augustus, who is undoubtedly the most conspicuous in today's battle, there is no mention of it.

They seem to have reached a tacit understanding, and they seem to have forgotten Augustus's wonderful performance and even that person.

But in reality?

Alder Castle. After the battle of recruits in Stiroland Square, the focus of the residents of Alder City was naturally the audacity Augustus who shot four nobles of Alder City in a row. Although Augustus was not the most powerful martial artist in the recruit battle, he was surrounded by the four nobles who were all knocked to the ground by him. Augustus is undoubtedly one of the most brilliant in Alder City today.

Leave the streets of the noble group.

"What a boy who doesn't know how to be in awe, Augustus, doesn't he understand the simple truth that nobles are not commoners who can be angered? It's a pity that a young man who will rise in the future, you can imagine what kind of means those insidious nobles will have to take revenge on Augustus, who trampled on the dignity and glory of the nobles, after the recruit conference! An old man in his sixties, who had been weathered and had some understanding of everything in Noxus, looked up at the sunset that was already shining but was about to fall, and sighed.

"Hehe, who knows? Maybe Augustus's crazy performance today can be appreciated by some powerful person in Noxus, and then he won't mind helping Augustus?? Someone said with a hint of obvious playfulness at the corner of his mouth, and said in a pleasant tone.

In fact, the person who said it didn't believe his own words, and the smile with a thick schadenfreude on the corner of his mouth had betrayed the words in his mouth. Civilians, I always don't want some civilians to be able to climb out of the civilian class, even if those civilians are very good.

The streets of Alder City were full of chatter, but they didn't notice that Augustus, dressed in a sackcloth robe typical of a hunter, was quietly walking past them. Augustus was calm and indifferent to these people's emotions, whether benign pity or malicious ridicule or ill-intentioned jealousy.

He sneered in his heart: "The fate of my Augustus is not determined by a few bad words from you civilians who do not seek progress and are destined to crawl in the civilian class all their lives!" ”

Augustus did not hesitate to walk through the crowd, along the familiar darkness of the street, which few people passed.

No sooner had he walked up to the dilapidated but familiar house where he had lived for twenty years, when the sky suddenly darkened, and an iron pot fell from the sky with a roar of rage, and smashed directly into Augustus.

"Dear Augustus, you're so capable! You dare to offend the three noble noble families of the three Tree Castles in a row, and you dare to come back, why don't you die!! The high-decibel roar directly spread through the already sparsely populated street.

Augustus dodged with dexterity, and directly flashed the iron cauldron that was enough to smash him half to death, with a slight smile on his face, but also a little helplessly looking at his hands on his hips, roaring at him with a voice that was even more deafening than that of Rai Ice Lion, the king of Alder Mountain.

Faced with this Aunt Carros, who has always been close to him outside of his adoptive father Saudi Arabia, Augustus was a little helpless. is not a wolf's heart, and he is inhumane, and it is really difficult for him to use any cold words to talk to this adoptive father Aunt Carros, who regarded him as his own after the death of his adoptive father, Saudi, let alone shoot directly with a bow and arrow.

With a clean smile on his face, Augustus cautiously approached Aunt Carlos, who was already on the verge of rage, and after a long time of probing, sweat drops appeared on his forehead, and finally pulled the corner of Aunt Carlos's clothes, which was a little embarrassed because she was making pork soup for him early in the morning, and finally sighed.

Then he looked at Aunt Carlos, who was still angry, and said with a smile: "Dear Carlos, others don't understand me, you still don't understand me!" I've always been most afraid of trouble, how can I take the initiative to get into trouble? Today's incident was asked to be done by the lord of Urgat, who said that the nobles of Alder City were too unscrupulous, so he wanted to teach them some lessons! ”

Speaking of this, Augustus said with a smug face: "The city lord of Urgart has promised, if I really teach that group of recruit nobles, I will help introduce me to the place of entering the knight academy, and you will be a great knight's aunt in the future." ”

Carlos looked at Augustus, who was smiling brightly, and her voice softened a lot, and asked, "Really?" ”

Augustus nodded.

Then he comforted Carlos, and finally Carlos, in order to celebrate, swept away the gloom of the previous moment, and went to prepare a knight's dinner for Augustus.

Looking at the back of Aunt Carros's departure, Augustus shook his head, even any Noxian resident with a little bit of insight would not believe this lame reason just now.

Augustus looked at the back of Aunt Carlos as she rushed away, and muttered to himself, "I just wanted to live this life in comfort and comfort, but you should be forcing me to walk on this road with no future in sight, but under my feet is destined to be full of corpses and bones!" ”

"Dear Aunt Carros, are you glad that your little scourge of headaches is about to leave?" Augustus muttered to himself, and his originally sharp eyes instantly softened again, and if he looked closely, he could find that the corners of Augustus' eyes were slightly moist. (To be continued.) )
