Chapter 61: The Shame of the Demacian Empire
If it weren't for the subtle and playful smile on Lux's face, it would be difficult for Augustus to say that the magical genius who lived an idiot was ******** with the luxurious lady in front of him.
For Augustus's arrival, Lax did not hide his excitement between his eyebrows, gently took the skirt of the evening dress, trotted to Augustus's side, and said in a very excited voice: "I knew that Young Master Augustus, who was the most elegant gentleman in Noxus, would never miss the appointment!" ”
Gentleman? No-show? Augustus smiled slightly, accepting the praise of the noble lady in front of him.
"Dear Miss Lux, is this a banquet you have prepared for my departure?" The scene and the arrangement in front of Augustus, a word immediately came to Augustus's mind: aristocratic dinner!
Aren't ornate crystal lamps, goblets and tables filled with champagne and wine an essential ingredient in aristocratic banquets? Lux covered her red lips with her right hand, showed a delicate smile, and then showed an innocent expression, and said softly: "Young Master Augustus, our information system in Noxus is not as fast and fast as you thought, and when I was preparing for this banquet, I didn't know that Young Master Augustus was about to leave the beautiful city of St. Peter's City, and I hope to get your forgiveness again. ”
Augustus found a place to sit down, picked up a glass and an unopened bottle of red wine from the table, and said to Lux, "Do you need a glass?" Lux nodded, and Augustus poured a glass of red wine for himself and Lux in the standard interest of the aristocracy, and it was very gentlemanly to hand the wine to Lux.
Gently shake the red wine glass, through the bright red red wine glass. Looking at Lux with a blood-colored breath against the backdrop of the red wine glass, he whispered, "I hope to have a pleasant conversation with Miss Lux!" ”
"Pleasant, I'm afraid to disappoint you, Young Master Augustus, there is nothing pleasant about the conversation that follows!" Lux pursed her lips and chuckled at Augustus, who didn't speak, still shaking his wine glass slightly. Waiting for this young magician, who was born into one of the most noble families in the Demacian Empire, spoke amazingly.
Pleasantly, coming to the embassy of Demacia, Augustus did not have any illusions that he could spend a pleasant time here. Augustus, who had always liked to think of things in a dark and extremely bad direction, was even ready for a brutal battle of swords and swords in the Demacian embassy filled with Gothic sharp buildings, or to break his hands and feet.
Absolutely no one understands why Augustus has such emotions, just like forcing Augustus to answer, Augustus will only borrow the words of a great writer in his previous life: "For me, life is battle!" Life is not endless, the battle is endless! ”
The pessimistic state of mind is definitely not enough to describe the complex psychology of Augustus, who is full of pessimism in his behavior and behavior. But it is full of stubbornness and arrogance, and the spirit of rebellion engraved into the bone marrow is engraved in Augustus's heart dressed as an elegant gentleman, and once touched, it will cause a disaster that no one can predict!
The magnificent Sarktown gallows brewed by the death of Fransted in the holy war in the past, this is Augustus, and when the bottom line is touched, he bursts out with a strong counterattack.
As one of the fuses of the Sarktown Gallows and one of the witnesses of the Sarktown Gallows Lux, although he did not understand that Augustus would be so sensitive to things that even ordinary civilians did not care about, it was not because of the curious desire of this boring idiot that Augustus, a soul beast with a wild and bloody nature, was once again attracted by this boring idiot's curiosity.
"Lux, I hope you don't forget what I've said to you now as you explore the wonderful world of magic: magic and swords are the most essential things that make up this world, and their existence determines the order of the world, but please don't forget. It is not magic and swords that really determine the order of this world, but the humans themselves who practice magic and swords. Humanity itself is one of the most obscure and esoteric forces in the world! "Lux will always remember her mentor, the old man in a red robe and a magic wand standing with him on a lonely mountain, staring coldly at the demacian legionnaire who was wrapped in fire and struggling in pain, and the Noxian knight who stood on a small hillside, covered in blood and with eyes as cold as a demon god.
At that time, Lux was blaming herself for her actions, but wearing a noble red archbishop's robe, the teacher's eyes were indifferent like a god, and he pointed to the Noxian knight on the opposite hill, and whispered, "The gods of heaven." How can the demons of hell be as good as humans themselves? Remember him, Lux, this is the barrier you must cross to enter the majestic temple of magic! ”
Lux sat on her knees, tears in her eyes, staring at the burly man who looked like a demon god on the hillside. Eventually, the man coincided with Augustus in front of him.
Shaking her head, although she is still one of the most noble women in the Demacian Empire, Lux is no longer a young and simple child who is ignorant of the world and is dedicated to following the footsteps of the magic gods, as a member of the noble defending family of the Demacian Empire, Lux has the responsibility and obligation to make some changes for the Demacian Empire and the family, although her brother Galen, who has always loved and even doted on her, does not use the responsibility of the defending family to transform her precious sister, but the mature Lux has chosen to change by herself.
No, Lux, who used to think that she would never come to the territory of the Noxian Empire, actually appeared in St. Peter's City, the imperial capital of the Noxian Empire, and took the initiative to come to St. Peter's City of the Noxian Empire as the envoy of Gavin III as Demacia's visit to the Noxian Empire.
Suppressing all his complicated emotions, Augustus found that the Lux in front of him suddenly had a kind of politician temperament and the temperament of a great aristocrat that he hated very much but had to adapt to.
"I miss that idiot-minded Miss Lux!" Augustus sighed in his heart, the corners of his mouth hooked up a trace of self-deprecation, even in the idiot guy, as long as there is a clever teacher's training and his own diligence and willingness to correct, the idiot nobles will stand above the commoners and look at the commoners with the tone of the nobles and the cold eyes of the eyes.
Without waiting for Augustus to exert his deeper imagination, the elegant and impeccable Lux's soft voice sounded in the Demacian Embassy: "Although the Demacian Empire does not have five families with deep-rooted strength like the Noxus Empire, it is not only our defending family, Young Master Augustus, who is very proficient in the history of the Valoran Continent for nearly a hundred years, should know whether my words are true or false!" ’
Augustus' hand clenched the glass of wine, the wine swaying in the same arc, and his eyes glanced at the Lax, who spoke in an impressive tone of impassioned imagination and bewilderment.
As Luxes said, at the behest of Fransed, Augustus had already made a modest in-depth study of the family, economic, and political systems of all the empires entrenched on Valoran, except for the long-vanished Shurima Empire, but it was definitely not superficial.
The defending family, the glorious family with pure military blood in the Demacian Empire, is naturally one of the most powerful families in the Demacian Empire, but it is definitely not the only powerful family in the Demacian Empire. If there was only such a powerful family in the Demacian Empire, the wise Gavin III would have been restless, even if this powerful family had always been loyal to the Demacian Empire.
In addition to the defending family where Lux and Demacia's power Galen are located, there are three very famous families that are on a par with the Lux family, the Florent family, the Ivanov family, and Ernest!
The former Floran family is the same as Lux's family is the giant family of the Demacian Empire, while the latter two Ivanov family and Ernest family are two out-and-out political families, and these two families almost control the political direction of the Demacian Empire.
"Mr. Augustus, did you know that there is a family of Laurent in the vast family of the Demacian Empire in your mind?" Without waiting for Augustus to answer, Lux stared at Augustus, the corners of her mouth hooked up a faint arc, overflowing with a charming smile, and looked at Augustus with a smile.
The Laurent family?
Augustus frowned slightly, could this be the reason why Lux invited me to come?
The Laurent family, the name Augustus is no stranger. Fransde had spoken of the Demacian Empire about the family to him.
"The disgrace of the Demacian Empire, the decline of the great family!" Fransted, who had always been hostile to the Demacian Empire, which was hostile to the Noxian Empire, used these two words to describe the Laurent family, who had been removed from the powerful families of the Demacian Empire.
Therefore, for this name, Augustus had to be impressed.
Lux smiled and caught the complex emotions that flashed in Augustus's eyes, and said in a slightly regretful tone: "I invite Mr. Augustus to come today to talk about the only remaining core member of the Laurent family who has infiltrated St. Peter's City in the Noxian Empire - Fiona!"
