Chapter 42: Once Brilliant But Now a Slave

Valuable slaves have long been purchased at a high price, and it has been nearly a year or so since the end of the Holy War, and there are not many Demacian soldiers in the Fein Slave Exchange, and there are even fewer official knights who were born in the Demacian Empire, but even so, Lux still spent nearly 50,000 Caesar gold coins to buy back nearly 1,000 captured Demacian soldiers,

Whether it's the Noxian Empire or the Demacian Empire, life is a very cheap thing! The life of an ordinary slave is not even worth a single Caesar coin, and a junior knight is only a few dozen or even a dozen Caesars coins, and that's it.

Augustus sneered, a look of disdain at Lux's near-extravagant use of 50,000 Caesars. "Geniuses with amazing talents in the wizarding world are not equally geniuses in life, and they are even more than stupid and even ignorant creatures! A genius is not always a genius! ”

Value, even in Demacia, where justice is greater than everything, is the only measure of things. Looking at Lux, who had a bright smile on his face in front of the sincere and grateful smile in front of nearly a thousand pairs of eyes, Augustus felt a sense of emotion in his heart, but it was more of a mockery of reason. If it were himself, Augustus would never spend 50,000 Caesar gold coins to buy some worthless waste, he would rather buy some armor weapons that can improve the Warrior Knights than buy some slave civilians who have no strength.

"Master Augustus, do you think my actions are stupid??" Lux, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old and put on the armor that symbolized the glory of the Demacian Empire, turned around and showed a bright smile at Augustus, and said softly.

Augustus was slightly stunned, damn it, Augustus didn't think that Lux would put things on the bright side, but it wasn't strange. Lux, who is a true genius in the wizarding world, is an idiot in the politics of life. Augustus had already experienced this.

When she was in Salk City, otherwise Lux wouldn't have been deceived so easily by a little ploy of her own! Augustus smiled calmly, his eyes were bright and soft, and he would never make anyone feel offended, "Miss Lux, Augustus can't comment on your actions. In the Noxian Empire. But no matter how unreasonable and contrary to the subjective consciousness of most people is, no matter how unreasonable the things done by the strong are, they are not ignorant, and no one dares to say that they are ignorant! Augustus thought that he was not as good as Miss Lux, and even less than the heroic and wise Gawain III, so naturally he couldn't make any comments on him! ”

The strong dominate Noxus and dominate the Valoran continent, this is not just an empty phrase! Whether it is the Noxian Empire, which interprets the survival of the fittest by natural selection to the extreme, the Demacian Empire, which follows justice and glory, or the Ionian Empire, which advocates peace. None of them can escape the six words of the simple but absolute nature truth that the strong dominate the world.

No one dared to arbitrarily comment on the decisions made by General Burnham, nor did anyone dare to arbitrarily accuse the scheming queen LeBlan, the leader of the most mysterious and terrifying organization in the Valoran continent, nor did anyone arbitrarily evaluate the coarseness of the words and deeds of Gavin III, the lord of the Demacian Empire? The reason for this is, to put it bluntly, the six words that the strong dominate the world.

Augustus knew this truth before he met Fransted, and after knowing Fransted, his study of this truth became even more profound.

Lux was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Augustus to say so bluntly, not at all in line with the treacherous and cunning image in her heart, looking at Augustus who looked at her with a sincere face. Lux even had the urge to reach out and expose the mask of hypocrisy on Augustus' face.

"What a hypocritical and cunning pseudo-nobleman!" Lux, who has always rarely cursed, is too short of words to curse. Augustus can only be judged by words that seem less vicious than they look or sound, but which count as heinous words in Lux's eyes.

But how could Augustus care?

Augustus and Lux walked along the Fein Slave Exchange, but their hearts were towards St. Peter's City, which now seemed to be calm.

An undercurrent has already begun to spread in St. Peter's City. Perhaps the fuse is the fact that General Burnham, the greatest leader of the Noxus Empire in a hundred years, is about to explode!

In addition to the bloody gladiatorial fights of gladiators in the gladiatorial arena that caused aristocrats, the rich, commoners, and even slaves to go crazy every day, there was one more thing that both the nobles and the rich flocked to - the auction!

Whether it's the Finn Slave Exchange, the famous Dolan Auction House, or even the charity banquets held by many nobles, there will be some auctions that make the rich and nobles crazy! Especially at the charity banquets of some big nobles, many big nobles even did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to invite the most prestigious Qin Se fairy Suona on the mainland to add luster to the charity banquet.

Each auction is a masterpiece, a masterpiece, and one that will surely engage the senses. Arouse the interest of those present, and the last auction item will definitely cause surprise and even madness of everyone present, which has become an important indicator of the success of almost all auctions.

No, even Augustus, who was so resolute that he couldn't help but be surprised by the auction items prepared by the staff of the Fynn Slave Exchange, not to mention the glorious girl Lux, who had always studied obscure magic and rarely seen the outside world.

The population is the most important auction item in the Finn Slave Exchange!

Powerful high-ranking knight. A great magician whose power is imprisoned by necromancy! Bounty hunters walking in the dark, shadow assassins walking in the darkness, and auction items of various professions but with powerful and almost terrifying forces were boarded one by one, attracting some rich and noble people to spend a lot of money and pay high prices one after another, pushing the atmosphere of the auction to the highest point one after another.

"This is an incredible place!" Looking at the excited, excited, and curious eyes at the auction, Lux sighed softly at Augustus: "The teacher once said that money transactions are always terrible demons that lead magicians to the path of magic, but since humans created money, no one can avoid dealing with money, even magicians who study magic on the obscure magic path will inevitably be contaminated with this evil thing!" ”

Augustus smiled, and said with a slightly subtle smile at Lux, who had a somewhat confused look in his eyes, and said, "Dear Miss Lux, I have to say that you are very lucky to have a very wise and knowledgeable teacher!" It seems to me that your teacher did not mean just that he was wary of money transactions, but that your teacher wanted you, a disciple with high hopes, to be careful of any human with an unclean soul! For a successful magician, it is always the most correct and wise choice to stay away from the world and walk alone on the rugged and thorny roads of the magical world, and only in this way can he ascend to the holy dome of the wizarding world, the king of the magical world! ”

For the Lux in front of him, who seems to be a lot smarter on the surface, but in his opinion he only has some insignificant cleverness, Augustus doesn't mind properly teaching this magician who has a high talent on the path of light magic some judgment on things, for Augustus can make some common-sense investment in anything, this was the case with Borlaite and Tyrone in the past, and the current Lux is not like this?

A small favor may not be gained at all, but perhaps some unexpected fruit will be obtained, and the former is not a loss for Augustus, and the latter is definitely not a surprise. This is simply the principle of Augustus' behavior.

Augustus squinted at the upcoming auction, his voice low and whispered in a voice that could only be heard: "Once brilliant but only a trade in the Finn Exchange, slave, perhaps this is the fairest word for the Finn Slave Exchange."

――――

"Dear Miss Caterina, your Augustus has accompanied the famous magical genius of the Demacian Empire, the famous magical genius of the Demacian Empire, Miss Lux, the glorious son of radiance, to the Fein Slave Exchange? Aren't you going to do something? "Cassiopeia rarely has a frivolous moment, he has an elegant and generous elegant lady in the eyes of the nobles of St. Peter's City, but in front of her only sister Katarina, Cassiopeia is not willing to wear the mask that she is already tired of, and looks at Catalina who is wielding this delicate scimitar and training every day!

For the sister in front of her who dared to go against her father's wishes, Cassiopeia still admired it very much! Although in the eyes of outsiders and even in the eyes of her father, it seems that Caterina and Cassiopeia are incompatible, and they are simply characters of two worlds, but only Cassiopeia knows that Katarina, who has always been cold to her, if something happens to her, the first one to stand up is definitely the sister in front of her who does not smile and does not like to talk.

Any genius who can become famous in one fell swoop in the Valoran continent is definitely not an existence that relies solely on talent to eat. Genius not only needs talent, but also needs to train hard day after day, otherwise even genius will be reduced to mediocrity!

Caterina was born into a military family and understood this truth very well, so the amount of time she spent cultivating every day was simply outrageous, even the younger brother of General Darius, the fourth knight of the Noxian Hand Empire, the most famous cultivator in the Noxian Empire, expressed his sincere admiration for Katarina's hard cultivation!

Anyone with a paranoid bias against women expressed admiration for Caterina's training, which shows how hard this famous Ominous Blade of the Valoran continent is in cultivation. (To be continued.) )
