Chapter 2: The Banquet

In the huge Valoran continent, there are always some women who can stand on top of men's heads and be worshiped by thousands of men in thousands of years of history! Therefore, there are many women who have come forward to look up to the majestic backs of women standing on the altar step by step to the altar, perhaps most of them will die on the road to the altar, but there are always a small number of women who can break through the confinement and stand on the altar and look at the men with their heads bowed, and accept their worship!

The sorcering enchantress LeBlan, who once controlled the powerful organization of the Black Rose, Catherine, the most legendary elven queen of Noxus, and Alvarosa, the great woman who unified Ferreljord, are all great women who have stood on the altar. And what about women who are moving forward on this path and have the opportunity to become them?

A series of names immediately popped up in Augustus's mind: Noxian Empire: Caterina, the two jewels of General Du Kekao, Cassiopeia! With the luxurious surname of Konstantin, Rui Wen has become the deputy commander of a legion! The Demacian Empire, a female Lux with a very high magical talent who was turned into a lightbringer by the Demacian Empire! and Wayne, shrouded in darkness and known as the Night Hunter! The Ionian Empire has the female Irelia, the patron goddess of Ionia, but what about Ferreljord? There are also three outstanding female ice shooters who have reached the top of the altar in Ferreljord, Princess Ash, Princess Lisandro of the Dancing Ice Monk Tribe, and Princess Sejuani of the Winter Claw Tribe!

One or two of these powerful women may ascend to the altar of the Valoran continent in the future, such as the tricky queen LeBlanc, the elven queen Catherine, the queen of Ferreljord, the bee Avarosa, and the famous dark gold hunter Aria of the continent stand on the altar and are worshiped by thousands of men!

Augustus, who walked the Ironridge Mountains with the Knights of Warriors, had no time to think about it! These women who are about to become legends of Valoran are not because they are bored, but because some of these women have already faced opponents, and they are in the Iron Ridge Mountains!

The Night Hunters, the mysterious organization that served in the Demacian Empire and specialized in hunting down the darkness, are the Warrior Knights and Augustus' greatest enemies outside the Noxian Empire! When Nine Moons arrived in the permafrost tundra from Noxus, Augustus was assassinated by the mysterious organization of the Demacian Empire.

The number of people dispatched by this group is not very large. There were only seven or eight people! However, Augustus was plunged into never-ending trouble, and eventually 23 members of the Knights of the Warriors were buried forever in the Iron Ridge Mountains.

"Wayne the Night Hunter? I wish you could come and take some of the Noxian knights who have fallen into darkness! Looking at the already darkening sky, Augustus muttered to himself.

Wayne the Night Hunter, apart from the inhabitants of the Demacian Empire, probably no inhabitant of that empire would have a deep curiosity about this obscure name, but could not hide his awe! This equivalent of the ominous blade of the Noxian Empire, Katarina, is as deterrent to the ruling classes of other Valoran empires, beautiful, powerful, and terrifying!

Unlike the Ominous Blade Caterina who only strikes after accepting a military mission from the top, Wayne, a night hunter born in the elite family of the Demacian Empire, can choose to deal with the opponents and enemies of the Demacian Empire anytime and anywhere.

Before the Holy War, when Vane joined the Night Hunters, a terrifying organization that shrouded itself in darkness! His Majesty Gavin III, Emperor of the Demacian Empire, once said to the legendary hunter of the future: "I give the day of Demacia to the army of the Demacian Empire, and I give the night of Demacia to you, Vayne, the night hunter." Would you like to protect the day and night of the Demacian Empire like an army? ”

Vain, who had just joined the mysterious black organization of the Demacian Empire, who had just joined the Night Hunters, did not show any flattered emotion, nor did she answer this question immediately, but looked directly into the deep and intelligent eyes of Gavin III and asked, "What should be done with the inhabitants of the Demacian Empire who are trapped in the darkness?" ”

Gavin III replied without hesitation: "Although I am the emperor of the Demacian Empire, you are the master of the night of the Demacian Empire, since they have fallen into darkness, then dispose of them by your will!" ”

The indifferent face of the powerful Night Hunter softened, and he fell to his knees on one knee, and said softly: "The night of the Demacian Empire is handed over to me, it will be bloody and peaceful. ”

The years that followed. Within the Demacian Empire, some of the inhabitants of Demacia often died unknowingly in the dark night, but after the initial astonishment, few of the inhabitants of Demacia were surprised anymore!

Under the deliberate promotion of Emperor Gavin III of the Demacian Empire, the organization of the Night Hunters has been imprinted in the minds of the inhabitants of the Demacian Empire. "Not all shadows are scary. At least the shadow of the Night Hunter can give us peace of mind! A resident of the Demacian Empire said of the Night Hunters.

In 1405 of the Valoran Continental Calendar, General Burnham brazenly launched a three-year holy war against the Demacian Empire, which was not only the glory of the Noxian Empire at this moment, but also achieved a group of super assassins such as Caterina and Tyrone the Shadow of the Blade, as well as a group of civilian knights such as Augustus and Rommel. It also made Vayne, the Night Hunter of the Demacian Empire, famous!

Vayne, the legendary Night Hunter who had already become the streets of the Demacian Empire long before the outbreak of the Holy War, used bloody and ruthless methods to shock the Valoran continent with bloody and ruthless methods, and even General Burnham, a big man in the Noxian Empire, had to show due attention to this young Night Hunter.

"Maybe we in the Noxian Empire have Caterina and Blade Shadow! But the Demacian Empire also has the mighty Night Hunter Wayne! "The second year of jihad. General Burnham sighed as he faced the assassination of nearly twenty mid-ranking officers of the Noxian Empire overnight.

――――

"Bloody and peaceful? The former is relative to the Noxian Empire, and the latter symbolizes the Demacian Empire! And that's Vayne's unique hallmark! Augustus muttered to himself, and the other members of the Knights of the Warriors trembled, and Augustus walked very naturally and calmly.

In Augustus's eyes, this woman who brought obscurity and darkness to the continent of Valoran, although powerful, has a limit! Moreover, this is not the first time Augustus has met with this Night Hunter, after the Gallows incident that shocked the Valoran continent when he was in Sark City, this Night Hunter who almost merged with the darkness assassinated him several times. But all of them ended in failure. Although Augustus inevitably bears the scars of the only female Night Hunter among the Night Hunters' iconic Holy Lance Silver Crossbow, it is enough for Augustus to at least not die in battle!

As he traveled from Noxus to Ferreljord through the Iron Ridge Mountains, Augustus met Vayne, the Night Hunter whom he had fought three or four times. The members of this group of Warrior Knights, including Alista, who was closest to Augustus, did not know that Augustus had fought with the legendary hunter in the Iron Ridge Mountains alone, and finally Augustus pierced the chest of the Night Hunter Vane with the scimitar at his waist, which ended the Night Hunter's pursuit of the Warrior Knights!

Augustus was confident that this woman with clever assassination methods, strong strength, and good at blending with darkness would never be able to kill him in an instant! Stambod's Forest's extreme training with the Sixth Knight of the Empire, Guligaland, is not a fancy fist in the eyes of ordinary civilians! This heterogeneous knight, who was called a heretic among knights and a model of scum by Darius, the second knight of the empire, but had to be sure of Guliglan's amazing mastery in knighthood, threw Augustus, Tyrone, and Borlet into the crisis cluster many times in three years, and the murderous Stampaught had to be put to the test of life and death!

Eventually, the three of them completed their cultivation and before leaving Stambod, the alien knight Guliglan had said to Tyrone: "On hiding oneself and assassinating methods." Augustus is clearly more gifted than you! ”

Tyrone, now the Shadow of the Blade at the side of General Du Kekao, is also a famous assassin on the Valoran continent as well-known as Vayne the Night Hunter!

Augustus wasn't afraid of Wayne's assassination, so what else did he have to worry about?

Other members of the Knights of the Warriors? Augustus sneered, what does this have to do with me? Do you want to foolishly trade your own lives for the lives of their unfaithful people? No matter how much effort you put into cultivating your disloyal subordinates, you may bite yourself in the end, are you worth it? Instead of confronting these disloyal dogs, let the nosy Night Hunters take them to Hell and meet the legendary Hades King Harris sooner.

Augustus, who wanted to see the tragic assassination scene all the way, was disappointed. Unlike the dangerous tension of entering the Iron Ridge Mountains from Noxus to the permafrost tundra, there is a ring of assassinations! The Night Hunters, who have always been known for hunting knights and dark mages caught in the dark, did not appear in the Iron Ridge Mountains, not a single one. Thus, with the hearts of the Warrior Knights and the sighs of Augustus, they crossed the Iron Ridge Mountains safely. There is only a trivial episode in between: a knight is very accidentally attacked by the poisonous snake of the Iron Ridge Mountains, Phil Norman Snake, while sleeping, and dies instantly. The other two hundred and eleven members of the Knights of Warriors had made a half-month trek over the Iron Ridge Mountains, which many of them called a nightmare.

The aristocratic class in Noxus is pitifully rare, and even if General Burnham relaxes the threshold and restrictions of nobility, it still does not change the situation of scarcity of nobles. After all, no matter what, the aristocracy will always be a privileged class! Augustus understood this very thoroughly, and in the previous life, there were rich people, and there were only a few people in power? As early as in his previous life, Augustus, who had already formed the concept that "there is no gap between the rich and the poor, and the country with high rights does not exist", can not hope that this honest world, which is more naked ~ naked than the previous life, will have the existence of the ridiculous word equality.

For example, in the small town called Urok, where Augustus is now stationed, there is only one ordinary knight named Ge Taidong! This ordinary knight named Terti was one of the most precious people in the town, because it was very rare for him to inherit it from his grandfather. He is also the only knighthood in the town, and of course in terms of money, this knight may not be as good as some merchants looking for a doorway. But no one dared to underestimate the status of this Sir Tertai Tung.

For Augustus and his more than 200 people, many of whom had never seen it in their lifetimes. Dressed in this sumptuous armor and a broadsword and spear, the only knight of the Knights of the Order, the only one in the town who was qualified to receive Augustus and the others, Sir Gotton united the merchants of the town to give up the most luxurious rooms for Augustus and the others to live in, and also prepared sumptuous food and almost sick service. To Augustus's admiration, the knight actually dedicated his thirteen-year-old daughter to serve him, and did not mind a one-night stand, and when Augustus, who was a little interested in seeing this God's daughter, saw God's daughter's delicate but far inferior to God's boastful appearance of the country and the city, Augustus immediately gave up this idea.

This delicate woman is comparable to the chuang upper dang woman, and the chuang lower lady. What about Princess Lisandro of Queen Fan? Where is it comparable to Princess Ash, who is ice clear and jade, and who has captivated the country and the city?

I'm really used to seeing good things, and when I go to eat bad, it's just reluctance and insult to myself! Lying on the chuang, Augustus couldn't help but recall many kinds of ~ a question in the horse novel in his previous life, how could the protagonists of those women who ate the country and the city see the woman who can only be regarded as delicate from the distance?

This thought is fleeting, and it can't make waves in my heart!

Lying on the chuang, looking at this gorgeous and wealthy house with the size of a small castle, Augustus couldn't help but sigh at the luxury and extravagance of aristocratic life! This is just a small knight, what if it is a viscount, an earl, a marquis, a duke?

Noxus is so distinctly divided into social classes. Short and crude!

Gently turn the octahedral dice in your hand, and every time you turn and drop it, it's a word! This is not a one-matter thing, and for Augustus, when the attention to something is almost in the realm of silence, it is natural to accomplish anything.

When Augustus was very young, he knew that there was no shortage of geniuses in this world, the youngest Holy Coffin Knight on the Valoran continent was thirty-two years old, the youngest Sword Saint was twenty-eight years old, and the youngest creed-level assassin was a heinous twenty-seven years old.

This is the most important reason why Augustus has been regarded as the pride of heaven since he left the city of Alders, whether in the forest of Stambod, the city of Sark, or the holy war!

――――

Unlike the silver-white armor on the permafrost tundra, after stepping out of the ice-covered permafrost tundra. Augustus converted the silver-white armor into black armor! Augustus never liked to be high-profile, and he always believed that only by hiding himself in the middle of nowhere, so that he could have a chance to accomplish what he wanted to accomplish!

Isn't that what the politicians who hide in the dark and manipulate the continent of Valoran?

Augustus, who was wearing black armor, lay on the chuang and squinted for more than ten minutes, when a sharp knock sounded on the door. Huo Nan, who rarely wears the armor of the Noxian emblem, entered the door in an armor neatly affixed with the very conspicuous emblem of the Noxus Empire, Augustus coldly glanced at the knight who was not very loyal and had already been included in the list of sacrifices for profit at any time, and said: "I hope your next remarks can atone for your trespass!" ”

Huo Nan smiled bitterly. How could he not understand such a simple and obvious meaning? His master was not a benevolent man, and it could even be said that anyone showed strength and hostility that the master in front of him feared. That will be subject to the calculations and intrigues of this master.

Huo Nan took a deep breath, stood in front of Augustus, looked at Augustus with a humble expression, and said, "Young Master Augustus, don't you have any doubts?" How could we leave the Iron Ridge Mountains so smoothly without the slightest hindrance? It's so unusual! ”

Glancing at his subordinate, who had a heart and eyes almost as many as the mythical giant Argos with a hundred eyes, Augustus sneered: "Are you disturbing my sleep just to make me wonder if you don't feel sleepy in the slightest?" If yes, then all I can say is that you have done an unforgivable thing! ”

Huo Nan immediately shook his head, he didn't dare to arouse interest in front of this boss, for this kind of person as equal, he would definitely show patience that many nobles were surprised and admired, but for the tree under his control, this boss would show an irritable side. Augustus never hid his temper in front of the Warrior Knights, so he couldn't be clearer than he was wise, and immediately spoke: "Young Master Augustus, of course I don't dare to disturb your precious rest time because of this slightest doubt!" But just now I sensed traces of the Demacians in this knight's house! ”

Perhaps already afraid that the boss in front of him would not believe it, Huo Nan continued: "Although the Equilibrium Sect is only a simple and widespread belief in Ionia, as a monk of the Uniform Sect, he has an extraordinary ability to perceive danger! ”

"Oh, that's kind of funny! Do you mean that Sir Tertai has secretly colluded with an organization in the Demacian Empire, such as the Night Hunters, to murder us? Augustus squinted his eyes, looked at Huo Nan with a smile, and asked softly.

Huo Nan immediately shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about this, but I just want to remind Young Master Augustus that you have prepared a dinner for Young Master Augustus today, I hope Young Master Augustus will be careful!" ”

The true leader of the Warrior Knights stared deeply at the subordinate in front of him, and no longer stood up from the chuang with a lazy demeanor and walked in front of this subordinate, stretched out his right hand, and gently patted Huo Nan's shoulder, at this moment, this knight who had served in the Ionian Imperial Army for three years and was a monk of the Equilibrium Sect actually gave birth to a trace of divine meaning that he had never felt before, Augustus spoke: " Perhaps your words today will be enough for me to expel you from the Warrior Knights, or perhaps make you the core of the Warrior Knights! Huo Nan, do you understand what I mean? ”

Looking at Augustus's handsome and solemn young face, Huo Nan, who has always been articulate and known for being improvised, couldn't open his mouth for a while, does this mean allegiance? Or does it mean this last chance?

For Augustus, Huo Nan thinks that he is definitely not full of loyalty, but he can't be said to be betrayal! As a priest of the Balanced Sect who believes in freedom and peace, he would stay in front of Augustus at this moment, only because of the knightly oath he had made to the gods when he was at the Boersan Manor, if it wasn't for the knight's oath, perhaps he would have left the young master Augustus, whose mind was full of intrigue and intrigues.

Augustus dressed in the same black armor as many Noxian soldiers! Although there was no difference in color, the clever caster could see that he was obviously more than a step better than the knights of the Knights of the Warrior Order in terms of material and use, but he could not hide the ordinariness of so many black armors.

Augustus was never an adventurous man, he was a coward, but a very sensible and calm coward in the face of death. This coward will burst out with outrageous combat power in the face of a dangerous death, and with a rational and calm mind, he seeks a path to the light in the dangerous death trap.

Augustus was a little disappointed by Huo Nan's hesitation, but was immediately ignored by Augustus, and gently patted Augustus on the shoulder, saying, "Prove that your intuition is right, and I will give you back your freedom!" ”

With that, Augustus waved his hand to let Huo Nan, whose head was in disarray, go down.

Lying on the chuang, looking at the gorgeous ceiling, Augustus muttered to himself, "There is a reward for what you give!" Huo Nan, if you pay ten, I will repay you ten! ”

After half an hour, Sir Gordon, the most noble man in the town, stood at the door of Augustus's room, and said humbly and respectfully: "Young Master Augustus, the banquet has begun!" ”

Augustus's sonorous voice came from the room: "I know, you go and ask the Knights of the Warriors to invite Alysta and Huo Nan, and order the two of them to join me in this banquet!" ”

Ge Taidong nodded respectfully, and then left to the house opposite, which was slightly worse than Augustus' room, to invite Alista and Huo Nan to the banquet!

Looking back at the room that originally belonged to him but now belonged to Augustus to rest, the corners of Ge Taidong's mouth hooked up a meaningful but fleeting smile, and said softly: "Young Master Augustus, today is really an interesting day!" ”
