Chapter 8: The Elegant and Noble Young Master (II)

The long golden hair is as dazzling among the recruits as the identity of this noble young master, but the most rare thing is that the smile on the face of this noble young master with impeccable and perfect demeanor is bright and sincere, at least Augustus can't see that there is any other identity mixed in it.

"A stupid idiot or an unfathomable noble young master of the city." This was Augustus's first comment when he saw this noble young master smiling towards him.

For military service, Augustus has always reciprocated and retreated, but this does not mean that Augustus is withdrawn and unwilling to end this world full of cruel natural laws of survival. In fact, under the influence of his hunter father, Saud, who had extensive knowledge that many hunters did not have, Augustus knew almost half of the noble families in the city.

The young man wore a badge engraved on his chest, and it was naturally impossible for Augustus to forget it, and this badge could represent that this young nobleman had a luxurious background that many noble young masters looked up to.

The coat of arms of the Gnaeus family is the galloping stag, which is a unique symbol of the members of the Gnaeus family, and careful Augustus noticed that the two antlers of the stag on the coat of arms of this noble young master are golden, which means that Augustus could not understand it very well, this noble young master is a direct member of the Gnaeus family.

At this time, Augustus already knew the identity of this noble young master before he could speak to this gentle young nobleman, wasn't this Young Master Pompey, who was known for his treacherous elegance?

- The Gnaeus family is naturally inferior to the two powerful families of Flavi and Mark, but apart from these two powerful families, no family can really dare to openly say that it can firmly overpower the Gnaeus family, and even the Flavi family, which now has the first family, does not dare to forget that the Gnaeus family, which gave birth to politicians, knights, bards, and magicians, has a great history of replacing the Flavi family as the first family in Truce City thirty years ago.

A few years ago, Augustus had met the young master Pompey in the church of St. Thomas, who was laughing with a young and mature nun about ten years older than him, with a charming smile on his face. The nun's eyes were silent, and her face showed a blush of pleasure that any man would understand.

That was five years ago, and according to the age of the recruits this time, the young master Pompey should have been only eleven or twelve years old at that time - I have to say that the noble young master was really precocious.

Stupid idiot? Treacherous and rich city? Augustus, who already knew the identity of this young master Pompey, naturally would not have secured the former on the young master Pompey, the dream lover of most of the nobles and celebrities in the city.

For this young master Pompey's sudden visit Augustus, there was still a look of vigilance on his face, but for the kindness that this young master Pompey first released, Augustus showed the perennial flattered look of the commoners, but this look was a little more reserved and calm than the ordinary commoners who were praised by the nobles.

In front of everyone's eyes, the noble-born young master Pompey walked up to Augustus with a smile and greeted Augustus, saying, "You are the lucky Augustus who was favored by General Ergat?" There was a look of amazement in his tone.

Augustus bowed his head slightly, making a common courtesy of a commoner meeting a nobleman. Honestly replied: "Hello, respected Young Master Pompey, I am Augustus!" ”

"Augustus, I really don't know if you should say that you are lucky or unlucky, that you have been favored by our esteemed General Urgat!" Pompey looked at Augustus with a look of amazement and a look of visible pity in his eyes.

Augustus quickly asked, "Oh, Master Pompey, why do you say the word misfortune?" He deliberately lowered his voice, and only him, Pompey, and a few people around him could hear it.

Pompeo didn't say anything yet. The eyes of the soldiers around him were almost full of disdain and sarcasm, and the look in his eyes was almost as if he were looking at Augustus, who appropriately made more puzzled expressions.

"Pompey, what are you doing there?" Pompey patted Augustus on the shoulder, as he was about to answer Augustus' question with a smile on his face. But I heard a very pleasant but unpleasant voice from behind me.

Augustus followed the sound and saw that most of the recruits were looking at the young man in the delicate knight's armor with very envious eyes, and his right hand pressed the broadsword at his waist, looking at him with very unkind eyes. Augustus scratched the back of his head, smiled innocently, and slowly looked away. Don't look at this arrogant aristocratic young master.

Pompey smiled at the noble young master, waved his hand, and shouted, "Wait for me!" But Augustus saw that the noble young master turned around and left without hesitation, Pompey showed a hint of apology to Augustus, and patiently opened the idiotic question raised by Augustus, and said, "Augustus, don't you know? Since General Ergarth became the lord of our Alder City, among the three recruits, he has taken a fancy to a total of three recruits in a row, including you, but the two in front of you have unfortunately been favored by the goddess of doom and forced to end their military service early. Saying this, the elegant and kind aristocratic young master patted Augustus on the shoulder: "Augustus, good luck!" Pompey then trotted away.

Augustus respectfully saw off the profiteer nobleman of the Gnaeus family, and when Pompey was far away, the sincere and confused look on Augustus' face gradually disappeared, and his eyes continued to look up and down the square, as if nothing had happened.

"Aristocrats are stupid, arrogant, cold, arrogant! I don't know if it was that bullshit bard who said this, and he should have been dragged into the Inquisition! Augustus muttered to himself, and a remark that did not know what he had read in that book suddenly appeared in his mind - "Let not be despised by the untouchables who are humbled by poverty, for they have struggled to develop a tenacious and cunning system of life in order to survive; The nobles who are honored by their family lineage should not be despised because the elders who brought them glory and money will teach him how to be a fool who hides a sword in his smile. ”

Augustus thought so.

Isn't this young master Pompey, with a smile that is enough to make anyone feel sincere and elegant, the best of the nobles? The temptation to hide a knife in a smile? Augustus chuckled softly.

At this moment, Augustus did not know that a middle-aged man with a cane in the VIP seat happened to see the whole process of his words with Master Pompey of the Gnaeus family, and how he behaved when Pompey left.

The middle-aged man, dressed in the usual aristocratic attire, looked at him with a hint of surprise, and then when he and Pompey had finished talking about the whole process, the middle-aged man showed a faint smile on his face, and then slowly walked up to the VIP seat where only nobles were allowed to sit, followed by a guard who maintained the habits of a soldier, and stood respectfully behind the middle-aged man.

Pompey trotted all the way to catch up with his arrogant companion. After a while, the arrogant noble young master slowly spoke: "You always like to do these boring things, it's been three years, isn't it enough?" ”

Young Master Pompey, who maintained an elegant and perfect aristocratic demeanor in front of Augustus, did not have the slightest aristocratic demeanor in front of his friend who was half a head taller than him, shrugged his shoulders, and subconsciously prepared to hold his head, but remembering that this was the solemn Stirolan Square, many big people stared at their every move before giving up making this frivolous action.

Pompey smiled at his friend who was the second heir of the Flavi family, the first family of Alder City, and said with a relaxed expression: "I admit that the previous two civilian temptations that General Urgart valued were the two stupidest things I ever did, but this time I had an unexpected gain!" Orit. You can't imagine the look on the face of the guy named Augustus when he answered my question, I almost felt like I was talking to an old nobleman, what an interesting commoner, and maybe this time it could be said that our general Urgat didn't choose the wrong man. ”

Orit slowed down, apparently interested in the commoner with a swarthy bow on his back: "An old nobleman, Pompey, I haven't heard this from you for a long time. ”

Pompey smiled, suddenly retracted the smile on his face, and said to Orit seriously: "Not really. This is indeed a guy I didn't expect, maybe this guy's purpose is to compete with you for a place in the First Knight Academy of the Empire. ”

"Join the First Knight Academy of the Empire? Dear Young Master Pompey, are you deliberately provoking? Orit smiled softly and stared at Pompey as she spoke.

Join the Academy of the First Knight of the Empire. Noxus has a total of ninety-six city lords, and the Imperial First Knight Academy only admits one hundred and twenty cadets every year, so it is basically not surprising that only the soldiers who have won the first place in the new recruits in each class are eligible to join the First Knight Academy of the Empire.

As for the remaining twenty-four places, each place requires a lot of money and super connections to get.

Orit has long been determined to win this place. Pompey's words, it is difficult for him to think that this is not a provocation and deliberately provokes contradictions.

Pompey chuckled softly. Shook his head helplessly: "Orit, if you want to join the First Knight Academy of the Empire, you are destined to defeat all the opponents of this recruit, including me and that woman, so I still need to provoke you?" ”

"Maybe this guy named Augustus will surprise us!"

Orit didn't respond to Pompey's words, but the slow pace proved that the noble young master, who had wanted to lead the Flavi family since he was a child, was thinking about his friend's words, recalling the hunting bow that was rarely seen on the market, Orit? Flavi couldn't help but really begin to pay attention to the lowly commoner who only had the name Augustus.

Augustus, who was looking at the distinguished nobles in the VIP seat, did not know that another strong opponent had already remembered him. But even if Augustus knew about it, he wouldn't have too many emotions. For Augustus, his goal is to trample all the recruits under his feet, and he will step into the gates of the First Knight Academy of the Empire as a glorified person, otherwise only death awaits him.

Augustus knew that he had no way out, that all his retreat had been blocked.

In this recruit competition, Augustus didn't mind paving blood and corpses on his way to success.

[Tilted by the rules, obeying the rules, breaking the rules, and making rules, these four kinds of people, every step forward is the accumulation of thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of corpses, and Augustus's real goal is to become the existence of the rules in that woman's mouth, which is also destined that Augustus's future path will be accompanied by blood and death, or ascend to the altar to conquer the greatest woman ever on the Valoran continent, or fall on the road of glory! ] (To be continued.) )
